Sheriff Grady Judd warns Polk County residents about two recent scams investigated by PCSO Fraud detectives.
One scam involves victims receiving telephone calls from unknown male callers identifying themselves as "Publisher's Clearinghouse" employees. The suspects tell the victims that they, the victims, have won the Publisher's Clearinghouse sweepstakes, but that in order to claim the prize, the victims must send money to a certain location out of state. The suspects are very pushy and demanding. In one case, a victim agreed to wire the money, and when the victim realized this was a scam and notified PCSO, the wire was traced to an apartment complex in Chicago, Illinois. When PCSO detectives notified Chicago Police, however, the suspect was not found.
Another scam involves email. Victims are receiving email from "email@example.com" informing them they have packages containing new ATM cards, but in order to retrieve the packages, the victims must wire $98.00 to Lagos-Nigeria.
Sheriff Judd reminds residents, "Never, ever wire money to a stranger. The only person you should ever send money to is a trusted friend or family member. Additionally, legitimate contests and sweepstakes will never ask you to pay them money in order for you to claim a prize. Report any suspicious activity like these two scams mentioned above to your local law enforcement agency."

Tottenham Hotspur have signed Federico Fazio on a four-year contract.
SIGNED! Federico Fazio has joined us on a four-year contract from Sevilla. #WelcomeFazio pic.twitter.com/vrbR2NQQqy— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) August 27, 2014
Spurs have completed the signing of Sevilla defender Federico Fazio.
The north London side confirmed the capture of the Argentine centre-back on Wednesday, with Fazio signing a four-year deal at White Hart Lane.
The 27-year-old joins from Sevilla, with whom he made 194 appearances - winning the Europa League last season. Tottenham will likely relish that kind of experience in their attempts to win the trophy this term.
Fazio becomes Michael Dawson's direct replacement, after the Spurs captain was sold to Premier League rivals Hull City yesterday.
And the Argentine says he is happy to be in north London, considering the history behind Tottenham as a club.
"I'm really happy to be here at this club, this great club with very good players. I'm really happy to be here," he said.
"I come to Tottenham because I think it's a very good team, a very good club, very good fans.
"I know Spurs is a historic club in this country & league. This is a great club & I'm very happy to be here."
Spurs host AEL Limassol in the Europa League on Thursday night, before taking on Liverpool at White Hart Lane on Sunday.
Fazio could feature in the game against Brendan Rodgers' side - perhaps even from the start.

REFILE - CORRECTING TYPO National Park workers remove a barricade at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial as it reopens to the public in Washington October 17, 2013. The White House moved quickly early on Thursday to get the U.S. government back up and running after a 16-day shutdown, directing hundreds of thousands of workers to return to work.

The Fine Print
At a time when compromise is hard to come by on Capitol Hill, Leonard Lance is part of a small contingent of Republicans in Congress trying to reach a deal that could break the impasse that has led to the government shutdown.
"I don't think this has been beneficial to any of us who serve on Capitol Hill, and I don't think it's been beneficial to the president down Pennsylvania Avenue at the White House," Lance, R-N.J., told "The Fine Print" of the ongoing shutdown.
Lance, who prefers to characterize himself as a "fiscal conservative" rather than "moderate," is supporting a proposal to fund the government in exchange for the repeal of a provision in the Affordable Care Act that taxes medical devices.
"I have supported a proposal by Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis., and Rep. Charlie Dent, R-Pa., to fund government and to repeal the medical device tax, which I think is an eminently sensible proposal," he said.
Lance initially supported a clean bill to fund the government in the early days of the shutdown, before recently deciding to sign on to the Kind-Dent proposal. There have been reports of Republican leadership calling on members to drop their support for a clean bill, but Lance said he was "absolutely not" pressured into changing his position.
"A group of us met privately with Speaker Boehner, and I indicated I wanted to be supportive of the proposal of Congressman Kind and Congressman Dent," Lance said. "He had no objection to that … and I think Speaker Boehner is trying to reach a position where we will fund the government, [and] where we will not default on our debt. He has indicated repeatedly he does not want to default on the debt."
Despite the divisions within the Republican Party over what the terms should be for reopening the government, Lance insisted that the party is united in its desire to move forward on a compromise with the White House and Democratic-controlled Senate.
"I think the president should come to the negotiating table, and presidents from the past - including Dwight Eisenhower, at least, on forward - have come to the negotiating table on the debt ceiling," Lance said.
For more of the interview with Lance, including what he has to say about the upcoming debate over the debt ceiling, check out this episode of "The Fine Print."
ABC's Alexandra Dukakis, Mark Rabin, and David Girard contributed to this episode.

Joshua Thomas, who has done a lot of work at the Overtime Theater, is also a filmmaker whose latest project is a Web series titled "Watching You."
The series is about a lousy human being (Johnny Walter) who dies and, instead of claiming his rightful slot in Hell, gets a second chance by being a guardian angel to a socially awkward young woman (Kelsey Pribilski). (Watch the very funny trailer here.) It features a lot of local theater folks, including Robert Jerdee, Bill Gundry, Morgan Clyde, Tyler Keyes and Michael Burger.
The first hour-long episode will be screened in a red carpet event at 8 p.m. June 7 at the Palladium. Tickets cost $6 'til June 1; after that, the price jumps to $9. They're available at the "Watching You" site.
A Q&A with cast and crew will follow the screening.
Proceeds will go toward production costs for additional episodes. Thomas plans to shop the pilot around in hopes of getting a network or Web distribution deal.
If all goes according to plan, new episodes will appear on the Web later this summer.

Homer residents along with countless others across Alaska who knew him are mourning the death of former Alaska House member Drew Scalzi, who died Thursday night at University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle following a long battle with cancer. He was 53.
Gov. Frank Murkowski's office announced Friday that flags would be lowered around the state in Scalzi's honor when the family announces funeral arrangements. Those arrangements have not yet been announced. Scalzi's wife, Barbara, their daughter, Lacey, and son, Lucas, were unavailable for comment.
A commercial fisherman by trade, Scalzi was elected as a Republican in 2001 and served one term in the Alaska Legislature, holding seats on the Community and Regional Affairs Committee, the Special Committee on Fisheries, the Transportation Committee and several Finance subcommittees.
During his term in state office, he focused much of his efforts on the often controversial and contentious world of fisheries policy. Those who knew him personally and professionally used phrases like "integrity," "warmth," "courageous," "hard working," "common sense," "statesman" and always "friend" in an attempt to convey not only what he was, but also their personal sense of loss.
Born in Meriden, Conn., on Feb. 13, 1952, Scalzi graduated from high school in Boca Raton, Fla., and attended Northwood Technical Institute in Texas, Palm Beach Junior College and the University of Rhode Island. He moved to Fairbanks in 1975 and to Homer in 1978.
He chose a career in commercial fishing and eventually became active in fisheries politics and policy-making. Scalzi ran for and won a seat on the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly in 1992. He was re-elected in 1994. A year later his colleagues named him assembly president, a post he held for one year. He was elected to still another term in 1997, serving until voters sent him to Juneau in 2001.
"We feel we've all lost a good friend and great supporter for the Kenai Peninsula Borough," said Borough Clerk Sherry Biggs.
"Drew was one of the most marvelous people I know," said his longtime friend and former assembly colleague Ron Drathman, of Homer. "He was a real hard worker and I'm going to miss him terribly."
Scalzi's battle with cancer began in the 1990s, and because Drathman was a cancer survivor, the two forged a close bond that gave them a capacity to joke occasionally about the struggle.
"There's not much you can do other than that," Drathman said.
Larry Persily, currently working in the Municipality of Anchorage's budget and finance office, served as Deputy Commissioner of the Alaska Department of Revenue when Scalzi was in the House. He said Scalzi came to Juneau determined to shape change, but frequently found the experience frustrating.
"He was one of the more active and aggressive members," Persily said. "He came because wanted to get something done and wondered why things couldn't get done."
Scalzi may not have liked taxing or spending, Persily added, but he knew some of it was unavoidable and necessary. "He was not your typical politician," he said. "That may sound clich, but he really wasn't."
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who worked closely with Scalzi when the two of them were Alaska House members, said she had just seen and talked to Scalzi in Homer two weeks ago.
"It's tough to believe," she said. "He was one of those guys that didn't really care about the politics. He just wanted to do things because they were the right things to do. You have to admire that. He was just an honest, upfront guy who wanted to do a good job."
The two worked on fiscal policy issues, and Scalzi was unafraid to "get into the thick of it," she said.
"There were things the rest of us would look at and think politically we couldn't get there," she noted. "His attitude was that you've got to start leading don't wait for public sentiment or until it was politically correct. Just do it because it was right."
While Scalzi dealt with a broad range of issues during his stint in the House of Representatives, fisheries were of particular importance to him. Indeed, prior to his election to the House, he already was serving on the International Pacific Halibut Commission and on an advisory panel to the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council concerned with IFQ implementation issues.
He served for years on the board of the North Pacific Fisheries Association and on the Alaska Coastal Policy Council from 1993 to 1996.
In 1997, he was received the Mariner of the Year Award.
Sen. Gretchen Guess, D-Anchorage, remembered working with Scalzi during the 22nd Legislature.
"He was such a man of integrity," she said. "More than any other legislator I have ever worked with he always did what was right, even when it was unpopular."
He would seek her advice and knowledge about education funding, she would seek his on fisheries, she said.
"He had a great ability to explain both sides of issues," she said. "It was an honor working with him and being his friend."
Rep. Paul Seaton, R-Homer, who ran against and defeated Scalzi in the primary of 2002, largely differing over fisheries policy, said Scalzi and he may have had political differences, but that did not translate into personal differences.
The Seafarers Memorial on the Homer Spit might never have happened without Scalzi's support and effort, Seaton said.
"He was a real asset to the community," he said.
Scalzi devoted spare time to civic and community affairs and seemed always to have the time to offer. Among other things, he served on the Seafarers Memorial Committee, the North Pacific Volcano Interpretive Learning Center committee, the Homer Chamber of Commerce and coached Little League and Homer High School football.
In a press statement Friday, Gov. Murkowski said, "Drew contributed greatly to his community, local government, state government and his profession as a fisherman. I am sure his contribution will be remembered long after his is gone."
Reached in Homer, Evelyn Russo, Scalzi's mother-in-law, said the immediate family members were expected to remain in Seattle for several days before returning to Homer. A local service will be planned, likely at the Seafarers Memorial, she said.

Title: How Scientology Handles Truth
Author: GSNews <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Date: Sat, 16 Oct 1999 08:41:50 -040
Willful dealing of the Scientology organization in dealing with facts -
basis for this is in "Policy Letters
* SO: Scientology Organization
Opening Comment
The following examples of the totally indiscriminate dealings by the
SO with facts are from the internet web pages of Peter Widmer [1]
and Tilman Hausherr [2]. As critics of the organization, both
regularly use the internet forum for an overview of the press on the
theme of Scientology as well as for references to other SO critics
in Europe and the USA. These web pages also contain numerous
sworn testimonies from SO former members which have already
been used in court proceedings - especially in the USA.
On June 8, 1999, the SO had to agree to the following settlement
before Great Britain's high court of justice in the case of a libel suit
filed by former member Bonnie Woods:
- "The legal representative of Scientology read an apology
into the public record and officially admitted that the insulting
language concerning Bonnie was untrue.
- Scientology has to pay Bonnie "considerable damages,"
apparently a six-digit figure. This saves Bonnie from
- Scientology agreed to a court order which keeps it from
repeating the libelous accusations. In the event that it initiates
another hate campaign against Bonnie, they face
imprisonment and high fines."
During the 1970s and early 1980s Mrs. Woods - at the time she
was still living in the USA - was a member of Scientology. She
completed a whole series of courses and intensive training steps. In
1982 she left the SO and emigrated with her husband to England.
That is where both of them, beginning in the 1990s, made
information about Scientology available and ran a public
information campaign. In doing that, Mrs. Woods used criticism
toward the SO, and spoke to the media about her experiences as a
member of the organization. She also took part in warning watches
in front of SO book stores in East Grinstead and distributed
documents in which Scientology was strongly criticized.
In reaction, the SO distributed a leaflet with a photograph of Mrs.
Woods which was sub-titled with the polemic statement, "The
leader of a hate campaign arrives in the city." At the same time
she was described as the one responsible for this campaign, who -
driven by religious intolerance - tried to dissuade people away
from their chosen religion. Mrs. Woods defended herself against
this defamation in December 1993 by filing a suit for libel. In its
decision which was pronounced in June 1999, the court
determined that the SO admitted to having distributed untrue
assertions about Mrs. Woods. For that reason, the organization
stated its agreement to the initially named arrangements. The SO
attorney gave the following statement to the court:
"The defendants regret that when responding to Mrs.
Woods's criticism of the Church of Scientology they
went too far in attributing to her conduct and motives
which they now accept were not correct. Through me
they apologise to Mrs Woods and undertake not to
make any such allegations again" (in accordance with
the conditions of the proposed instructions from Your
The SO's presentation to the public, however, ran as follows:
"Church of Scientology
Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex, RH19 4JY
8 June 1999
For more information, please contact:
Graeme Wilson, 01342 318 229
Church of Scientology Statement
The Church of Scientology Religious Education
College settled its litigation with Bonnie Woods in
Court today.
The subject of the litigation was a flier distributed on
one day in 1993 by some Church members in
response to attacks by Bonnie Woods which they
considered offensive to their religious beliefs and
believed were the cause of discord with the town of
East Grinstead.
Bonnie Woods has now made a statement to the
Court saying that she does not hate any religion,
including Scientology, and that she does not stir up
religious hatred and intolerance including against
Scientologists and their families. She has also told the
court that she doesn't put pressure on people to give
up the Scientology religion, nor does she encourage
others to do so. The Church was very happy to
resolve these proceedings on the basis of this
In deciding to settle the action, the Church also bore
in mind that Bonnie Woods would have been
completely unable to pay the enormous costs of trial if
the Church had won."
A similar method of procedure is also shown in a
Dianetics-Scientology Stuttgart press release from July 10, 1999,
in which it was asserted that the French cassation court had
recognized Scientology as a religion:
"... The French Supreme Court confirmed a judgment
by the appeals court in Lyon - which made headlines
across Europe in July 1997 - which stated that the
Scientology Church fulfilled all the criteria of a
religious denomination."
However, the official French press report of July 1, 1999 on the
findings of the highest court read quite differently:
"Scientology could not be recognized as a religion by
the court. The 'Mission Interministerielle de Lutte
contre les Sectes' accepted the findings of the
judgment of the Supreme Court on June 30, 1999
with satisfaction ...
Thirdly, the Supreme Court indicated that it was not
the judge's mission to decide on the religious
character of a group. The subject passage from the
court of Lyon which Scientology has taken out of
context to say that it has been "acknowledged as a
religion" is therefore declared to be not proper."
These SO press releases have their origin in the "Public Relations
Series" by L. Ron Hubbard. This series contains instructions in the
form of "Policy Letters" (HCO-PL), which describe the exact
method of procedure for Scientology's public affairs work. Not
only that, but journalists do not enjoy any special position of value
with Scientologists, but belong to the group of people called
"Potential Trouble Sources." Hubbard describes the inability of
the press in several "policy letters" and expressed the opinion that
statements from reporters should receive no special attention.
In the matter of reporters, etc., it is not worthwhile to
give them any time contrary to popular belief. They
are given their story before they leave their editorial
rooms and you only strengthen what they have to say
by saying anything. They are no public communication
line that sways much. Policy is very definite. Ignore.
HCO PL 7 May 1969, Policies on "Sources of Trouble"
Subject to the accuracy of the internet statements, the discrepancy
between the SO's testimony before the court and the statement
made for the public reflect Scientology's dealings with provable
In the two cases described, the basic message of the official
press were ignored, a small portion of it was taken up for a
necessary presentation and transformed via the appropriately
worded supplementary information into a report so as to be
positive for the SO.
The same method of procedure can also be found in the "Response
of the Scientology Church" in its response to the booklet published
by the Hamburg State Office for Constitutional Protection, "The
Scientology Organization's secret intelligence service."

Chapter 15 : Monster Soup
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 21
Background: Font color:
I don't own Barbies, or G.I. Joes, or Skype, or Rhett Butler. Thank you.
Monster Soup
I looked down at the Quibbler in my hand. And then I attempted to laugh it off. "Oh, this? Hahaha, oh, it's nothiiiing!"
"Stop inching toward the stairs, Weasley," Malfoy said, putting his hands on his hips. "You're pitifully obvious."
"Run for it, Rose!" Xander cried from behind me.
So, that's what I did. Before Malfoy could register what was going on, I had barreled forward and the taking the stairs three at a time. I heard him yell and run after me. With adrenaline coursing through my veins, I flew down the corridor to my guest room and slammed the door shut, and locked it. I sank to the floor, breathing hard.
"Weasley! Open the fucking door!" Malfoy hammered on door so loudly, I wondered if the wood was going to splinter. Good thing for me, Alohomora didn't work on the door locks in the Jagneaux mansion.
I dragged myself to my suitcase, unzipped it, and hastily shoved the magazine right at the bottom, underneath my bras, assorted underwear, and female toiletries. Let's see Malfoy get his grimy paws down there!
I pushed the suitcase under my bed, just as a double safety measure, and then unlocked the door. "Hullo!" I said cheerfully, looking at him. "Are you done yet?"
"Weasley," Malfoy snarled, slamming his hand against the door panel, "tell me what was in that magazine!"
"There wasn't anything," I said innocently. "Why do you always think that everything's about you?"
"Then why the fuck were you running away from me?"
"I mean, who wouldn't?" I shook my head. "Man, you need to take a look at yourself! You're built like a blond bear! Most people would be afraid of walking twenty feet near you!"
Malfoy exhaled. It had seemed like he had calmed down a bit. "You know, Weasley… most girls think that being built like a bear is a good thing."
"Not this girl," I said, shuddered. "I don't like bears, no matter how jacked-up with muscle they are. You're thinking of Xander. She's, like, obsessed with pectorals."
"So you mean to say that you don't like pectorals?"
"No, I love pectorals," I replied airily. "Just not yours."
Okay. Rose. Why are you even having this conversation with him?
Malfoy rolled his eyes. "That's not what you were thinking when you saw me shirtless for, what, five times during this fall."
"And how do you know what I was thinking?" I said testily.
"Weasley," he said firmly, "if you weren't thinking bad things when you saw me shirtless, then your estrogen levels are off."
"Excuse me?"
"Oh, wonderful!" Astoria trilled, seeing us as she came out of her bedroom. She was holding a magazine in one hand. "You guys are having a civil conversation!"
"Is it civil to tell a girl that their estrogen levels are off?" I demanded of her.
"Not particularly."
"Well, that's what your son just did!"
"She said that she doesn't appreciate my pecs!" Malfoy protested, gesticulating wildly toward his own chest. "What else am I supposed to say?"
"I don't appreciate them, either," Astoria said.
"Well, if you did then it'd be really creepy—"
Astoria poked her son's chest. "You feel sort of flabby. Have you been working out?"
"No, you haven't. How could you possibly be asking a woman to appreciate your pectorals if they're non-existent?"
"MUM!" Malfoy yelped angrily. "I have an eight-pack! Here, let me show you!"
I quickly turned my eyes in the other direction, but Astoria said sharply, "Put your shirt down! If you like showing your stomach so much, I'll sign you up for belly-dancing lessons!"
I started to laugh. "Thanks, Astoria."
"No prob, honey," she replied, affectionately patting my shoulder. "Speaking about pectorals, I was reading an interesting article in the Quibbler—"
To my absolute horror, I realized that the magazine she was holding was, in fact, an identical of the one that I had stored away in my suitcase. Powerless, I watched as she flipped to page 32.
"See, it says that Peeves attacked some half-naked Slytherin boys in the middle of the night? Did that really happen, Scor? Or are the Scamanders fibbing again?"
Malfoy gaped at the pictures and obviously recognized himself right smack dab in the front. He met my eyes slowly, looking absolutely furious.
I raised my hands. "Dude, I swear it's nothing personal."
"Like FUCK it's nothing personal!"
"Whoa there, kids!" Astoria put her hand between us. "What is going on?"
"She took those pictures," Malfoy spat, jabbing his finger at the photos in the magazine. "And she set Peeves on us!"
"It was just a prank," I said in a placating voice, hoping that his mum wouldn't get too mad. "I had the pictures, so who in the right mind wouldn't distribute them to the highest bidder? And the Scamanders censored their faces, so no harm done."
"No harm done?" Malfoy raged. "Do you know how fucking much those paintballs hurt? Me and the guys had to soak in a pool for a few hours!"
"I hope you didn't soak for too long, Scorpius," his mum said absentmindedly while she read over the article. "Your little bitty parts might fall off. I've heard of that happening—"
"MUM!" Malfoy looked scandalized.
"Sorry," she said hastily. "Did I say 'little bitty'? I meant long and, um, daikon-shaped. Don't worry, I won't let your body down in front of the ladies—"
"MUM! STOP IT!" Clearly mortified to be with us any longer, he stuck his hands in his pockets and bolted down the hall to his room.
"Wait!" Astoria yelled called after him. "You want me to put this article in the family album?"
"Don't be fucking crazy!" A bedroom door slammed.
Astoria looked down at the article. "Yes, I think I shall put it in the family album. I'll be a nice shock for Draco."
"Astoria?" I said a little tentatively. "I'm sorry about the pictures."
She rolled up the magazine in both hands. "I wished you wouldn't resort to these methods, Rose."
"I have no choice!" I said vainly. "When we were going to Hogwarts on the Express this year, Malfoy and his goonies said these horrible, horrible things to me and my friends. You can't even imagine! I had to get back at him somehow!"
"Next time he does something like that, owl me. Immediately." She smacked the magazine against one palm. "I'll set him straighter than a washing board. Just like how I did right now."
"Daikon-shaped?" I asked in a funny voice.
She rolled her eyes. "Don't even ask."
I went down to the kitchen so see how dinner was coming along. Zelda and Jag were cooking, so I was bracing myself to be toxic poisoned that night. Their kitchen was enormous, almost half the size of a small Quidditch pitch and it stretched on for several rooms, so it took me a while to find the girls. They ended up being in the main cooking room that had the freezer and the stoves. Xander was poking at two great big metal doors, over three times as tall as she was, and Zelda was going through one of the many pantries. Near her feet, there was a gigantic cauldron that was almost three-quarters as tall as she was.
"Hey, guys! Where'd Jag go?"
"He sacrificed himself for the good of humanity," Zelda replied. She pulled out an oblong package from the pantry. "Hmm. Hey, Rose, do you know what fallopian tubes are?"
"Excuse me?"
"Fallopian tubes," she repeated. "What are they?"
"Uhhh. Um. Well..."
"It says these are frogs' fallopian tubes." She shrugged and tossed the whole package into the cauldron.
"Zelda… is that our dinner?" I said very weakly.
"Nope," she said happily. "Not our dinner. It's the hag's. We're going to fumigate her tonight."
"Good plan," I answered. Then I wondered why anybody in the right mind would have a package of frog reproductive organs in the pantry.
"Jellied moose nose," Zelda mumbled, emptying some suspicious-looking round objects into the cauldron.
"Crow's feet, fermented salmon, Italian merchants' moustaches—"
"What the fuck?" I asked in horror.
"THERE ARE COW'S BODIES IN THERE!" Xander screamed and ran toward me. Apparently, she'd had the courage to open the freezer. "They're all bloody and sliced and the bone and hanging by their feet. Oh, Rosie, why does Jag have a morgue of cows?"
"So we can cook and eat them."
Xander's yellow eyes went wide. I remembered too late that she was a vegetarian.
"Hey!" Zelda called to us, holding a bottle of something gray and sloshy. "Check this out! It's liquefied mummy!"
Xander looked as if she was going to barf, and I knew exactly how she felt. "I'm outta here," I said, stumbling toward the exit.
"Yeah, we'll leave Zel to it," Xander mumbled.
I breathed the fresh air of the parlor and plopped down on the sofa. "Dinner's going to be interesting."
"Definitely," Xander said fervently.
"Where did Jag go? I thought he and Zelda were brewing the concoction together."
Xander stifled a small laugh behind her hand. "You'll see. What happened with Malfoy? Did he catch you?"
"Nope. But his mum happened to be reading the Quibbler and she told him, so he knows about it."
"His mum reads the Quibbler?" Xander was astonished. "That's… really weird."
I shrugged. "It fits her, somehow. She said she was even going put the pictures of them getting paintballed in her family album. Don't you just love her?"
"Yeah." Xander was quiet for a moment. She slumped down on a pillow and stared at me. "Rose, I think Astoria wants you and Malfoy to get together."
"No way," I said immediately. That can't be.
"Then why would she ask you to take him Christmas shopping?"
"Maybe she just wants him to go Christmas shopping, how should I know?" I felt flustered. Why, indeed? "Well, I suppose you have a point. I don't even know this area. She should've asked Jag or Irene to take him."
Xander shrugged. "Well, she definitely wants the two of you to be friends."
"Yeah, I know she does," I said quietly. I loved Astoria, but I just couldn't be friendly with her son. It was impossible. I decided to change the topic. "What's up with you and Kai? Is everything okay?"
I suddenly wished I hadn't brought up the topic. Xander's face slumped downward. "I can't believe it!! Wahhhhhhhhhhh!! Why did he reject meeeeee?"
"Um, Xander, listen," I said carefully. "It's not you. It's him.
"What do you mean?"
"It's him," I said, looking at her and nodding my head, trying to give her the big hint. "It's his fault he can't like you."
"Why?" she cried. "Because he can't get over how ugly I am? I HATE MY LIIIIFE!"
"Xander, no!" I slapped myself on the head. Goddamnit, how was I supposed to make her understand? "Xander, how much do you exactly like him? Are you sure you're not in love with him?"
"I don't know," she sniffed. "I've never felt this way about anybody before. Even though I dated Connor, Alec, Erikson and that Ravenclaw guy with the intense abs— sorry, do you remember his name? I always forget it— I've never felt this strongly about anyone before."
"So, you slept with Alec just on a whim?" I asked dryly.
Her face went bright red. "No, no! I really liked him! But I like Kai more!"
"But it's not love?"
"I hope not," she muttered. "Especially since he doesn't like me back. Am I really that ugly?"
"You're beautiful as the stars, sweetheart," I said exasperatedly. "It's not you, it's him. No matter how gorgeous you look, he will never like you back."
Her eyes filled with tears. "I can't believe it… He hates my personality that much?"
"Oh. My. Fucking. God!" I threw my arms out to the heavens. How could she be so daft? I decided to try a different tack. "Okay, Xander, do you know what fruity means?"
"Fruit?" Xander raised an orange eyebrow. "How does that relate to anything?"
"No, fruity," I repeated. "Like, that boy's wearing fruity underwear. That kind of fruity."
Xander shrugged. "So, he's wearing underwear with a lot of apples and oranges printed on them. Big deal. Why does that matter?"
I wanted to ram my head against the coffee table. "Xander, there's another meaning."
"You mean fruit-smelling stuff? You know a guy who has citrus-smelling underwear? That's wicked! I want some!"
"NO! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEAN!" I didn't care anymore. I was going to be totally obvious. "Xander, if I told you that Kai was fruity, what would you think?"
"Well, I would think that he's not fruity, because he doesn't use Garnier in his hair. He uses Pantene and that doesn't smell fruity at all!"
"Oh goddammit." I decided to give up. "Xander… just forget I said anything."
"But I don't get it! Why were you saying that there's another meaning of 'fruity'? Fruity has to do with fruit, right—?"
"GUYS!! DINNER'S READY!" Zelda appeared in the doorway, practically beaming. "The soup turned out fantastic! I suggest you bring clothes-pins to clip your noses together, because several rats have already died from breathing in the smell!"
Zelda claimed that what she had made was Chicken Cordon Bleu, and seeing the slimy, gray mixture of shit bubble in the gigantic cauldron, my reaction was: "Zelda, that is not Chicken Fucking Cordon Bleu! That is a weapon that you could use for terrorism! One drop of that can wipe out half of the world's nations!"
"It's Chicken Cordon Bleu," Zelda told me firmly, and she proceeded to levitate the extra-large cauldron onto the dinner table. I had no idea how the table didn't buckle.
The various occupants of the house emerged, all holding their noses. Astoria and Irene sat as far away from the cauldron as possible. Irene was sketching furiously in a notepad and ignoring everyone near her, and Astoria was reading a book, holding it parallel to her face like a shield against the horrid smell. Xander walked into the room, to my astonishment, holding a book that was three times the size of the one that was in Astoria's hand. Al and Malfoy both came into the room, pinching their noses and gagging at the smell. Al looked almost ready to leave, but I grabbed his shirtsleeve.
"Where's Jag?" I asked him. "Have you seen him anywhere?"
My cousin shrugged. "I dunno. I thought he was making that shit with you guys. What in the name of sweet Jesus did you put in it?"
"That's a good question," I muttered, eyeing the cauldron of sludge.
We sat around the table, and since Zelda said she felt to queasy to do the honors herself, a magicked ladle went around and poured generous amounts of the toxic gunk into the bowls in front of us. Once the ladle came near me, the smell hit the roof of my mouth, and I nearly blacked out. Yeah, it was that bad.
"IT'S AN EYEBALL!" Malfoy shouted in horror, pushing his chair back from the table with a loud squuueaaaak. "NYX, WHY IS THERE AN EYEBALL IN MY BOWL?"
"It's not human. Cow, probably," Zelda responded. "And I'm pretty sure there are other cow parts in other people's bowls, too, so don't freak out."
I recalled that Xander had said that there were cow bodies hanging in the freezer. "Zelda, I said slowly, "How did you get the carcass down to size?"
"I took a saw and hacked at it. It was good stress relief."
"Oh my god." Just the thought made me want to barf. Then I had a vision of Al hitting a punching bag with boxers' gloves on and Zelda next to him, attacking a hanging cow carcass with a saw in each hand. I had to laugh.
"Guys, I found a rubber duck!" I looked and saw that there was indeed a tiny, yellow rubber duck floating sadly upside down in Al's bowl. Only its rump was visible.
"There's a dead firefly in mine! No, wait! It's alive! Its butt's glowing!"
I spooned around in my soup. "I see hippogriff turd."
"Easter eggs!"
"A guitar pick!"
"Narcotic pills!"
"A map of Africa!"
"Someone's…ew…there's someone's hair in here…"
"What kind of hair?"
"Er… I dunno. It's, um, wiry though—"
"I found G.I. Joe heads!"
"A HUMAN leg?"
"No, it's Barbie's."
"Where did you find Barbies?"
"In Jag's room."
"Oh, cool, this is an Assyrian smicthar!"
"Hey, there's something moving in my bowl! It's slithering around!"
"A rooster's cock!"
"A thousand-dollar bill!"
"This looks like cream cheese."
"Oh GROSS. That's NOT cream cheese."
"Dude, this is a bottle of opium…"
"A WHAT?" we shrieked together.
"It's a hot-dog wiener!" Zelda raised her hands in a placating way. "Chill, everyone. I didn't chop Al's manliness off or anything."
"I'm glad you didn't," Al muttered, and then he looked down and patted the spot between his legs lovingly.
I made a grossed-out face, and was going to tell my dear cousin to keep his hands off his private parts in public, and especially not during dinner, but then Irene enquired from the head of the table, "Do you think old women would want low necklines or high?"
"What?" we echoed each other.
"I'm trying to draw designs for elderly women's wedding dresses. Do you think they would want their breasts to show?"
"No, because their boobs would be all saggy if they're old."
I glared at Al. "I think yes, because they would be trying to show that they're still young! That's the point of getting married at such an age!"
"And any woman can make their boobs look young again. It's called anti-aging cream, duh."
Irene made some note in her journal, then stopped and pinched her nose. "Whew! That smells like a sewer! What did you put in it?"
Al, Zelda, and I looked at each other, and we didn't respond.
"I though the whole point of this was to get rid of my mother. Where is she?"
"Um, she's your mother," Al pointed out. "Don't you know where she is?"
"MAMAN!" Irene suddenly screeched at the top of her lungs. Poor Astoria who was sitting and reading next to her gave a start. "MAMAN, VIENS-ICI! TU VEUX DINER!"
"Mum, come here. You must have dinner," Al translated under his breath for us.
"She should be 'ere in a moment," Irene said, comfortably settling into her chair. "But back to ze boobs…"
Madame Jagneaux strode into the dining room not minutes after. She was still wearing the Dalmatian coat. Every inch of me wanted to yell out, It's Cruella De Vil!
"Pourquoi tu me veux ici? Je ne veux pas diner, Irene."
"Just eat the food, woman," Irene replied irritably.
Madame Jagneaux gave one look at the gigantic cauldron and her expression turned into a scowl. "What iz dees trash? Eet looks like a cesspool of feces."
A.k.a. bunch of shit, I thought.
"It's Chicken Cordon Bleu," Zelda announced proudly.
"Chicken?" Irene gasped, holding her heart. "Does it really have chicken in it?"
"Yup. And I decapitated Bo and cooked him in the soup, so it legitimately has chicken in it."
"Bo," Irene whispered. All the blood drained out of her face. "Mon papa? He is in the soup?"
I remembered that Bo was her father transplanted inside a hen. Did Zelda really decapitate it?
"Yes, he is," Zelda proclaimed loudly. "Irene, your late father's, and Madame Jagneaux, your late husband's soul is inside that soup!"
"ROSE!" Xander screamed out in anxiety.
Everybody stopped and looked at her, then at me.
I whipped my head around in surprise. Xander was glaring at me. There were five different tomes in front of her, all stacked up on each other.
"ROSE. I don't get it. Why did you say that Kai was fruity? All the dictionaries say that fruity means 'having to do with fruit' or 'pertaining to the aroma given off by fruit'."
I panicked. "Xander, shut up. Don't start talking about this—"
"WHAT does fruity mean?"
"Xander!" I said hastily. "Look, we can talk about this later—"
"I even looked up adjectives! Rich, zesty, sweet, tangy, plummy, grapey, lemony—"
"I'm sorry, everyone," I told, especially Irene, who was raising her eyebrows at us, and her mum, who just stood there and glowered. "Don't mind, Xander. She's just--"
"You don't know what fruity means?" Malfoy laughed from beside me, and a thrill of horror went up through my body. "You're so stupid, Voss. If you call a guy that, you're implying that they're feminine and most likely ga—"
"MALFOOOOOY!" In a split second, I had forgotten about everything else. I forgot where we were, who we were sitting with. All I cared about was that Malfoy was going to say the g-word and spill Kai's secret. So, I did the only thing to do.
I took my bowl of toxic waste and smashed it into his face.
It was spectacular. The bowl slid down and shattered on the floor. All the gloop in the bowl had magically stuck to Malfoy's face. All of it. He took a sleeve and slowly wiped the shit from his eyes.
"Holy fuck," I said. "You don't even want to know what's sticking to your face…"
Then, with a roar of rage Malfoy came forward and attacked me. We grappled together and screamed at each other for a few moments, and then he grabbed the neckline of my shirt, pulled it away from my body and shoved the contents of his bowl of soup down my shirt.
"FUUUUCK!" I screamed, dancing on the spot. The stuff was cold, I tell you. Then I made a beeline for the room's exit.
We ran into the hallway. Malfoy pulled the hall-runner down, tripping me, then jumped over my body and dashed toward the bathroom. With a growl of rage, I was after him again. I knocked him aside at the door to the bathroom, entered it, and then jumped into the shower and turned the handle to the side. Cold water engulfed me.
I ripped off my shirt and danced on the spot, shaking my whole body like a dog. "Get it off, get it off, get it off, get if off—"
At that point, I didn't even give a crap if Malfoy saw me with only my bra on. I was only a B-Cup, so he wouldn't be interested. My only thought was that I had stuff like hippogriff dung and liquefied mummy guts sticking to my body, AND I WANTED TO GET IT OFF. As I was about to reach for the soap, the shower door swung open and Malfoy stepped in, all shirtless galore. "Move over," he growled, and stupefied I did as he said.
"Why the fuck are you in the shower?"
"That shit got on my chest."
"You pied me in the face with it!"
"That's 'cos you were about to say the word 'gay'!"
"So what?"
I was enraged. "Listen, Malfoy, if you were gay, would you want me telling everybody about it?"
"No, but—"
"Then why were you about to say that! If a person doesn't know that someone else's gay, you don't tell them! It would be disrespecting the person who's gay!"
"Whatever. But that still wasn't worth getting a faceful of toxic shit." Malfoy stepped forward, putting his head under the shower head and smoothed wet hair back. Since I didn't want to stare, I looked in the other direction and hastily began scrubbing myself with the soap. The gunk seemed like it was gone off my body, but I wanted to make sure. "Weasley, you know we're in a shower together."
"Yes, I realize that, thank you very much." I kept on scrubbing myself with as much dignity as possible.
"You don't feel intimidated the slightest?"
I didn't look at him. "Not at all. Why should I?"
"You're topless."
"I know."
"What if I did this?" He slammed his hand to the tiles on the side of my face. I was forced to look up at him. And that moment, the realization hit forcefully that we were both shirtless and soaking wet.
"Um… hi?" His gray eyes glinted. I told myself to look at his face, and not down. He was wearing jeans, thank god, and so was I— but him being shirtless was enough for me. I knew that I had started to redden. "My worst enemy, trying to seduce me?"
"I'm not seducing you, Weasley. I'm just trying to make you feel fear."
The water poured behind us.
"Fear?" And at this, I truly felt the need to snort. "You think I fear you? Fear is not one emotion I have ever felt for you."
Fuck. He looked damn good with his hair slicked back.
"You know Malfoy," I breathed inches away from his lips. Our faces were very close. Unfortunately I was smaller than him, so I had to tilt my head up at him. "You are the only man I would ever feel comfortable with in this situation."
That surprised him a little. He narrowed his eyes. I could see his individual lashes dripping with water. "What do you mean?"
"I mean, you are the only man who I can be standing like this in a shower with, and not be afraid or embarrassed. If it were Liam or someone else I fancied, I would be blushing and trying to act sexy and failing horribly. If I was with Jag or Lysander, it would just be awkward. If I was with Al or Hugo… why the fuck would I be in the shower with Al or Hugo? But you, Scorpius Malfoy, are my enemy. I am not embarrassed by you, I do not like you, and nor do I fear you. You can do nothing to me."
Malfoy's stormy gray eyes had not left mine for the entire little speech. Now, he put a hand on my chin and tilted it up. "What if," he said, his voice low and husky, "what if I kissed you right now?"
Thank god, my heart didn't falter. It didn't skip a beat. I looked straight into his eyes and replied, "You won't."
"Really…?" He leaned in as close as possible. I could see every single water droplet clinging to his eyelashes. His lips were almost right over mine and he breathed over me as he murmured, "I could, right now…"
"You won't," I said, and my voice almost shook. He was much too close! I couldn't stand it! "You won't, Malfoy. You know why? It's because you hate me."
I prayed that I was right.
Malfoy looked directly into my eyes. He withdrew his head a slight bit and a smirk curled up the corner of his mouth. "Weasley, you're a piece of work."
"I was right, wasn't I?" My heart thudded painfully in my chest. I couldn't tell if the moment was over, or if he was still going to attack me. "You can't kiss me, just as I can never kiss you. It's impossible."
Now he withdrew completely, taking a step back into the shower. He ran a hand through his hair. "Yeah, you're right, Weasel. It's really impossible. I almost wanted to do it, just to piss you off… but…"
"You just couldn't. Mental block of hatred. I know what you mean."
We stepped out of the shower. I grabbed a fluffy white towel and wrapped my upper body in it. Thank god, that encounter was really close. It was the feeling, like after being a cornered by a lion. The lion had pounced on you and was just about to eat you, and you're lying there with your eyes shut and praying to mumma, but then the lion sniffs something more delicious and leaves you in hunt of other prey… That's the feeling.
"Where'd you learn those moves from?" I asked him. I could joke now since I was out of range of his claws. "Gone With the Wind? You're turning into a regular old Rhett."
"For your own good, I suggest that you don't compare Rhett to me," Malfoy said as he dried his arms off with a towel. "If you remember, Scarlett hated him, too."
"Oh, ew. Forget I said anything." It was true. In the book Scarlett was in love with a guy named Ashley, but hated Rhett. Rhett, in the beginning, thought that Scarlett was a fussy bitch, but then he started warming up to her and seducing her and stuff. That's where I was in the book.
"Have you read the whole thing?"
"Yeah," Malfoy muttered under his breath. "If you get to the end, you'll see exactly why you don't what me to be Rhett."
I didn't know how to reply to that. Suddenly, things were more awkward than it had been in the shower. I recalled that Astoria knew that I wanted the book for Christmas. Maybe she would give it to me, so I could finish it! I suddenly really wanted to know how the story ended. But the book was with Astoria. And then, I remembered something that I needed to tell Malfoy.
"Hey, Malfoy," I said in a flat tone.
He turned around. "What?"
"Has your mum talked to you since we got back?"
"No… Is there something I need to know?"
"We're getting married."
I burst out laughing. "Ahahahaha! I'm joking. Your face was priceless. No, we're actually going Christmas shopping together."
"The fuck? Christmas shopping?"
"You want to get married instead?"
"Why the FUCK are we going Christmas shopping? I already bought presents for everyone!"
"Did you buy one for me?"
"Like hell I did."
"Did you buy ones for Al, Jag, Xander, Zelda, Irene, and Madame Coco?"
"No, and I'm not planning to either! My mum must be crazy if she thinks I'm buying them all presents!"
"Not even the house-elf?"
"Especially not the house-elf."
I wished I could Skype my mum. She would rip Malfoy into shreds for that comment.
I shrugged. "Well, I promised your mother I would. If you got a problem, take it up with her."
I left the bathroom with the towel still around me, ran up the stairs to my room, and as fast as possible, changed into a pair of pajamas. Then I galloped down the stairs back to the dining room. I didn't want to miss any of the drama.
Malfoy was already there, wearing a fresh shirt and trousers. He was standing in the room's entrance. Irene and her mother were having a bilingual screaming match.
They launched themselves at each other, clawing at each other's hair.
Then, a hand erupted through the surface of the cauldron—not unlike a zombie hand coming out of a graveyard.
Xander and I screamed and jumped back. The surface of the soup began to bubble, and slowly an oval, gloop-covered object emerged —it was a head, I realized— then a gloop-covred neck, then a gloop-covered torso, and then finally a pair of gloop-covered legs. It was a gloop monster.
"Je suis Beaumont," the faceless monster droned in a deep voice.
Smirking, Irene watched the look on her mother's face. Madame Jagneaux's face had slackened. "C'est Beaumont? Ce n'est pas possible!"
"Tu m'a tué, Giselle. Tu m'a tué. J'étais un poulet pour dix années!"
"You killed me, Giselle. You killed me. I was a chicken for ten years," Al hissed in my ear.
Madame Jagneaux's face was frozen. Stupefied. "Thees iz not posseeble," she breathed.
Then suddenly, the gloop monster wavered on its legs. It made a choking noise as it staggered out of the cauldron. It was wearing stripy Adidas sneakers. "Dudes… I—I— CAN'T FUCKING DO THIS ANYMORE!"
Then the gloop- figure fell off the side of the table like dead weight and face-planted in the carpet.
"JAG!" we screamed, running to him. Zelda got there first and began siphoning off the gunk from his face. His eyes were closed.
"Is he breathing?"
"Does he have to go to Mungo's?"
"He's breathing," Zelda said, putting a finger under his nose. "I think he's just unconscious."
"How long was he in that toxic soup?" I asked, feeling aghast.
"He was my first ingredient. I Stunned him, put everything else in, and cooked him over the fire just a couple of hours ago." She bit her lip. "Do you think he's going to be okay?"
See the Review box below? It's calling your name, sweetheart! Yes, YOURS! YOU!

Leprosy in the U.S.?
(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine reveals a new strain of leprosy has surfaced in the Southern United States.
Leprosy is a chronic, mildly contagious disease of tropical and subtropical regions with a long and extensive history. Until the 20th century, infected people were ostracized from society or at best segregated and cared for in isolated leper colonies. Today, the disease is entirely curable through multidrug therapy, though tissue damage caused before drug treatment cannot be reversed. Some 600,000 new cases arise every year, mostly in Asia, Africa, Central and South America, and the Pacific Islands. About 60 percent of new cases occur in India.An intercontinental research team has established the connection among leprosy infection in Americans and direct contact with armadillos. In a group effort between the Global Health Institute at EPFL in Switzerland and Louisiana State University, clear confirmation was found that a never-before-seen strain of Mycobacterium leprae has appeared in the Southern United States and that it is spread through contact with armadillos carrying the disease.
There are, in all, about 150 cases of leprosy in the United States annually. A majority of these victims have worked overseas, in foreign countries or in areas in which leprosy is widespread, making it probable that they might have obtained the detrimental disease while outside the U.S. However, one-third of all the patients infected appear to have contracted the disease locally.
"There is a very strong association between the geographic location of the presence of this particular strain of M. leprae and the presence of armadillos in the Southern U.S.," Stewart Cole, head of the Global Health Institute in Lausanne and world-leader in the field of genomics of leprosy bacilli, was quoted as saying. "Our research provides clear DNA evidence that the unique strain found in armadillos is the same as the one in certain humans."
These results encouraged researchers to affirm that "frequent direct contact with armadillos and cooking and consumption of armadillo meat should be discouraged." The study additionally advised that armadillo range growth should be observed and monitored.
It is unknown precisely why armadillos contract and carry leprosy. While their low body temperature makes them ideal incubators for the bacteria, there are further aspects such as immune deficiency that additionally play a role. Correspondingly, the bacteria assault the extremities of humans because our core body temperature is too high for a general infection, and more than 90 percent of humans who come into contact with the disease instinctively fight it off.
"The last thing we want is to induce panic in the population and incite a slaughter of armadillos. The best way to combat further infection is through education and prudence," says Cole.

The TPSSC and the THLPSSC are statutorily mandated advisory committees that make recommendations to PHMSA on proposed safety standards, risk assessments, and safety policies for gas and hazardous liquid pipeline. These advisory committees are established under section 10(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463, 5 U.S.C. App. 1). The committees consist of 15 members—five each representing government, industry, and the public. The TPSSC and the THLPSSC are tasked with determining reasonableness, cost-effectiveness, and practicability of regulatory initiatives.
Federal law requires PHMSA to submit cost-benefit analyses and risk assessment information on each proposed safety standard to the advisory committees. The TPSSC or THLPSSC evaluate the merits of the data and methods used within the analyses, and, when appropriate, vote on all recommendations relating to the cost-benefit analyses. These committees also assist PHMSA with policy and other issues pertaining to pipeline safety.
In addition to the advisory committee meetings, PHMSA will soon publish a separate notice to announce a public meeting on operator qualification regulatory considerations that will be held on December 15, 2005. This public meeting is being scheduled during the same week as the advisory committee meetings to afford members of the advisory committees, State pipeline safety representatives, and the general public the maximum opportunity to attend both the advisory committee meetings and the operator qualification public meeting.
Meeting Topics

Relax and soak in top-of-the-world spectacular views of the Dry Creek Valley from this comfortable 3 bedroom, 2 bath home.The newly updated home sits back on 10 acres of beautiful California landscaping of lavender, bay and pepper trees, and offers peace and quiet while being just minutes from the Healdsburg Plaza and world-class wineries and restaurants. Come enjoy our sparkling new pool with amazing views and a new bocce ball court, as well as a hot tub to soak in under the stars.
The panoramic views of vineyards and mountains are absolutely amazing - truly top of the world views that take your breath away- which you get from every room in the house.
The house is a short (2 miles/5 minutes) scenic drive up a newly paved road off of West Dry Creek Road. You are very close to all of the amazing West Dry Creek wineries (Quivira, Bella and Preston among others) and minutes from the Lambert Bridge and the Dry Creek General Store (one of Healdsburg's best and most popular lunch spots). It is 15 minutes from the freeway and the Healdsburg Plaza.
House and layout-
The spacious master bedroom has a king-size bed with a recently remodeled en-suite bathroom with a large luxurious spa shower. The hot tub is right off the spacious deck adjoining the master bedroom. The upstairs bedrooms are large and feature an open beam cathedral ceiling - one has a king bed while the other has two twin beds (which can be pushed together and made up as a king). In addition, each of the two twin beds have a trundle bed- perfect for kids! These bedrooms share a newly done bathroom with a jacuzzi tub. There are large decks off of each bedroom, providing additional lounging space and more opportunities to take in the sun and views. In addition, there is a sofa bed in the living room.
Whether you're a family or two with children in search of lots of activities or a group of friends seeking some much-needed R&R, everyone will enjoy what this home and the surroundings have to offer. Enjoy a glass of wine and picture-perfect sunset views from any of the four decks. Take advantage of the landscaped yard for lounging or play, bring or rent bicycles for a romantic ride through the nearby vineyards. Children's toys and outdoor games, a flat screen TV with satellite and DVD player, and Wi-Fi are all provided. (Cell phone reception is excellent, by the way.)
Other amenities include a fully stocked kitchen, a gas grill for outdoor cooking and dining, a washer and dryer, and linens and towels.
Slightly further afield you'll find Healdsburg (15 minutes) with its charming plaza and shops and many excellent restaurants (Madrona Manor, Barn Diva, Dry Creek Kitchen, Spoonbar... to name a few), Geyserville (a 20-minute drive) which offers nice restaurants and tasting rooms, and Lake Sonoma. You are surrounded by boutique and award-winning wineries in the Dry Creek, Alexander and Russian River Valleys. Dine out for fresh wine country cuisine in Healdsburg and Geyserville, or buy organic produce directly from the area's many farms and farmer's markets and enjoy dining al fresco on the deck while watching the sunset over the Dry Creek Valley. And so much more!
There is a three night minimum for May and September and a four night minimum between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Otherwise, it's two nights generally off-peak or three nights for holidays and wine weekends.
Please send inquiries instead of booking requests. My screening and contract process requires longer than the 24 hours allotted to the booking request. If you pay through VRBO, please only pay by e-check. Thanks!
The owner was very nice and helpful. We had everything we needed. Would return again!
My husband and I stayed here to attend a friend's wedding and it was truly a wonderful weekend. About the house: clean, private, light-filled, well-appointed with everything we could possibly need (kitchen is perfectly stocked), convenient/central location (we enjoyed Barndiva, Matteo's and Chalkboard - all amazing!), spacious with decks and outdoor space (hello, gorgeous pool and sunshine), comfortable (I don't sleep well away from home, but I slept better than I had all year...i'll be back), and views of stars for miles. Living in San Francisco, I never get to see stars, so it was a luxury and a treat. The owner was a breeze to work with. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We look forward to another one the next time we head up to Healdsburg for a long weekend.
I stayed at this property with my two children and in-laws to chase the sun and get out of the city. It was a perfect set-up for us, cozy with plenty of space for all of us. It is centrally located and very convenient to go into Healdsburg during the day and for dinner. It is very clean and comfortable, and there are several decks and outdoor space to enjoy the views.
The views are breathtaking and the property is very private. There is a great outdoor eating space and grill. We picked up food to eat outside and grilled in the evening. The kitchen is fully stocked, and there is a hot tub right off the master bedroom. There is a large beautiful pool as well that we thoroughly enjoyed. It has all the amenities you could need for kids--pack and play, high chair and toys.
We would stay here again, we had a great long weekend!
Our family had the best time in Healdsburg. The house is great for families and is clean and has everything you need. We cooked at home and enjoyed having wine outside enjoying the views. Laurie was a great host and answered all our questions and provided great suggestions on family friendly wineries and great restaurants nearby. The house has amazing views and the kids loved the hot tub and the pool. We cant wait to come and stay here again.
This home sits on a hill with beautiful views. We loved our time there and are ready to go back. We enjoyed coffee out by the pool in the mornings and a glass of wine in the evenings. You look one direction and you feel as though you are in the mountains and then you turn and you are looking over vineyards and valley. It is a very relaxing place. The house is great with it's big windows letting sunshine in......bright and airy. We did some cooking there and had all we needed. It is close to great wineries and downtown strolling and eating. We highly recommend it!
We loved our stay at this oasis in Healdsburg. The setting was idyllic, the house was clean and well-appointed, the beds were comfortable and the host was very easy to work with. She responded to all of my questions and needs in a timely manner. If you're looking for someplace to book for a family vacation or just a relaxing getaway weekend in the woods with some vino, then look no further.

What are the consequences of love as Keats describe them in "La Belle Dame Sans Merci"?

John Keats's "La Belle Dame sans Merci" is a Romantic ballad that tells of the misfortune of a knight who falls in love with a maiden who is without mercy--"sans merci." Much like some ancient myths in which the fertility of the land is connected to the health of a heroic figure such as a king or a knight, upon whom a spell is cast and must be thrown off for the land to again be bountiful, Keats's poem reflects this motif.
After the ethereal lady takes the knight to her "elfin grot," in line 29, she lulls him to sleep; however, while he is asleep, the knight has a horrifying dream in which he envisions "pale kings and princes" who cry out to him that the lady without mercy has him entralled and, thus, in terrible danger. For, they, too, are the victims of the "faery child's" eternal enslavement. Frightened by this vision, the knight awakens only to find himself thus enslaved as he wanders alone through the woods that now has withered in its beauty:
And this is why I sojourn here,
Alone and palely loitering,
Though the sedge has withered from the lake,
And no birds sing.
In addition to his enslavement to the maiden's caprice, the knight suffers from unrequited love as a consequence of his meeting her and her abandonment.

Alexa Hawley of Clermont Northeastern High School has been honored as the May Student of the Month by the Batavia Rotary Club.
"I am always happy to brag about Alexa," said Matt Early, CNE High School Principal. "She maintains a 3.75 GPA at school while taking Post-Secondary classes at UC Clermont and still has time to give back to her community."
Earley described Hawley as "the breaking news" at CNE High School. She is currently editor in chief of the school newspaper, which recently placed third at a statewide competition. She is also a member of the UC Clermont newspaper staff.
In addition, she is a CNE National Honor Society member, participates in the Leo Club, is a two-year member of the yearbook staff, and has enjoyed running cross country for four years. Hawley is Senior Captain of the team this year.
Giving back is something that comes naturally to Hawley. She is an active member of her church youth group, conducts Puppy Therapy at the Batavia Nursing Home, and volunteers with children who have disabilities at KAMP Dovetail in Highland County each summer.
When she's not working or volunteering, Hawley enjoys spending time with her family and friends.
The Batavia Rotary Club recognizes one high school student from CNE Schools each month throughout the regular school year.
Students are nominated for this award for their school work and service to their community in keeping with the Rotary motto, "Service Above Self."
The Batavia Rotary Club is comprised of a diverse group of community-minded members that work together to address various community and international needs, promoting peace and understanding throughout the world. Club meetings are held every Tuesday at 7 a.m. at the Hawk Building on Taylor Road, Clermont County Airport.
Prospective new members and visiting Rotarians are always welcome.

Unless we talk about drilling in U.S., energy independence is just a mirage
Published 7:00 pm, Saturday, August 2, 2008
The dismal politics and economics of oil
Editor's Note: This is the second in a series of articles by Dr. Watts on the energy crisis and how to respond.
By Dr. David Watts
President, UTPB
The United States is a debtor nation, and it is getting worse each month. We owe money to other nations, foreign businesses and individuals. For decades, the United States has had a deficit in foreign trade. Every month we owe more money to other nations, particularly oil producing countries and China. Bankruptcy, anyone?
Let's look at Venezuela. In April 2008, the U.S. imported 35.67 million barrels of oil from Venezuela, down by almost 16 percent from a year ago. In April, oil approached ,120 per barrel. Using a ,115 price for April, Venezuela received ,41 billion from the United States. Yes, this is the same country, led by Hugo Chavez, that supported the FARC in Colombia, that tolerated the holding of hostages, including the now-released Ingrid Betancourt. Saudi Arabia, the largest exporter of oil to the U.S., received more than ,50 billion from us in April alone. While a longtime friend of the U.S., Saudi Arabia was also the home of 14 of the 9/11 hijackers and is the source of Wahabiism, a strict, uncompromising form of Sunni Islam. To Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, countries with whom we have deep disagreements, the U.S. sent ,91 billion in April.
What is Chavez doing with some of that money? He has created an alliance of South American countries, including Ecuador and Bolivia. He has threatened Colombia and organized OAS members to resist all efforts by the United States in the region. He is a close ally of the Castro regime in Cuba, trading oil at below market prices for medical care of Venezuelans in Cuba, closing some Venezuelan hospitals. The exposed collaboration between the FARC and Chavez has demonstrated just how fully he is committed to the support of interests that threaten the U.S. Chavez almost gives oil to some countries - Cuba - and sells it at market price to the U.S. Venezuela has cut deals with China both for military equipment and to increase its oil sales - up to 1 million barrels a day - to China.
United States consumers are paying for Venezuela's purchase of Chinese military equipment and China's purchase of Venezuelan oil. In 2007, the U.S. had a negative trade balance with China of ,256 billion. That's our money we have spent buying everything under the sun from China. Those billions of dollars that we have traded to China are being spent in Venezuela and other places to be sure that China has an adequate supply of oil. Like the U.S., China has to import oil. When the Chinese sell the oil to companies and consumers, it is subsidized. Unlike you and me at the gas pumps here in the U.S., Chinese consumers pay less than market. Guess who is subsidizing Chinese gasoline? We are, through the hundreds of billions of dollars we send to China every year.
More could be said about the countries we pay to send us oil, but the bottom line is that we import 60 percent of the oil we use. We can talk about energy independence all we want. Unless we do something about drilling here in the U.S. and the energy producing and consuming technologies we use, energy independence is a mirage. Another thought would be to park our cars, heat and cool our homes and businesses every other day. Should we petition for admission to the Bolivarian Republic of Hugo Chavez?

Stylish Caribbean Chillspot Jan 13, 2009
Went here for dinner tonight. Nice little scene. Bar filled with people on a tuesday night for a birthday get together. Seating for dinner if you prefer, tv's, nice tropical drinks and really good caribbean food.
"The Scene
A soundtrack that alternates between hip-hop and calypso sets the tone for this island-spirited restaurant with an urban flair. Stalks of tropical red flowers and black-and-white photography from regions that inspired the cooking add sophisticated style to the place. The staff may come off as soft-spoken, but they're happy to answer any questions, and it adds to the experience that your waitress can expound on the sour sop colada--she probably had a sour sop tree in her yard growing up.
The Food
The vibrant menu begs diners to try something new. Sure, they've got great jerk chicken, but be adventurous and order a filet of shark sandwich, oxtail, West Indian curry, or Trinidadian stewed chicken with rum and Spanish thyme. Each artistically presented entree comes with two sides, so branch out with a delicious bowl of callaloo, a spicy green vegetable puree. This spot is lovable not because it's what you expected, but because, pleasantly, it isn't." - Lisa Marie Rovito
