From the world map, head to Asgard, which has been assaulted by terrible winds. Walk into the town
following the main road until a cutscene ensues. After that scene, enter the mine on the left and examine
the giant white cup at the left of the man inside to find the Wonder Chef for the Grill recipe. Now it's time
to pay a visit to the mayor of this town. Head over to the east part of the village and go up the stairways
to the top house. After the cutscene, head to the Mural Cavern, which is located upstairs near the
After the cuscene, head back outside to see Alice for the first time. You now need to find Colette, who's in
the east part of town, in the house at the top of the first stairway on the right. After the discussion, head
back downstairs to find Marta. Return to the west part of town where another event will occur. Run left to
go help the kid, just when Alice shows up again. Defeat Hawk and the monsters in the ensuing battle, then
Marta will want to see Colette again. Return to the house at the very top of the east part of town, the
mayor's house which was locked before. Inside, speak with Colette and the mayor.
Now go back to the west part and head through that metal gate that wouldn't open previously. Head up
the stairway to the stone dais. You'll be attacked here, so make sure everyone is healed first. You can't
defeat the enemy just yet, but you'll have to stay alive until the fight is interrupted. Your next destination is
Hima, where you're expected to find a winged dragon. Head back to the world map and select Hima.
Once you get there, enter the inn. On the first floor, you can go through a door on the right (behind the
dog) which leads to an adjacent room with a fireplace. Examine the white rock next to the stairs to find
the Wonder Chef for the Stew recipe. Now head up for the top of the mountain. You'll get attacked by
a giant Imp. Defeat it, then watch the scene and head back down the mountain. Return to the world map
and re-enter Asgard.
When you're ready, return to the stone dais beyond the metal gate. Now you'll need to play a little
mini-game. Avoid the wind gusts by moving around while trying to collect some treasure chests if you
want extra items. Once you get the indication to, start to signal by waggling the wiimote around until the
bar fills up completely. Then get ready to face the bird once and for all. It's a pretty hard fight for I
personally prefer controlling Marta for this one as you can freely heal everyone once their HP goes
down. Keep everyone healed, use items and you should be fine.
After the scene, Colette will propose you talk to Aisha's brother. Go back to the east part of house and
enter the second house to the top to speak with Linar. Once you're done, head over to the inn where the
others are waiting for you. When Tenebrae is done explaining everything to Colette, go back to the stone
dais again. You'll need to fight off the boss once again. This is the same battle as previously, so just repeat
the same as before. Marta will afterwards perform the maiden ritual so you can warp to the next dungeon.
Underground Ruins
As you enter and after the cutscene ahead, pay attention to the bells ringing in the hallway on your left.
Retain the order in which they ring, then head to the room northeast of there with a save point. Examine
the pedestal in the center of the room and touch it to change the Sorcerer's Ring to wind element. Now
take a look at the wall on the left, which looks different from the others. Use the ring on it with the wind
attribute to make it crumble and reveal bells behind. Now you'll need to use the ring on the bells in the
same order as the bells at the entrance were ringing (from the left - first, third, second, last). This will open
another wall, revealing a stairway. Go downstairs to the next floor.
To go through the next part, and if you've tried you've probably found yourself just running in circles, you'll
need to pass through the doors in a particular manner. The inscription at the entrance tells you to go
through the door that is always the farthest. So, from the entrance, head all the way right, ignoring the first
door. Head through the rightmost door at the end of the hallway, after defeating the enemy guarding it.
Then go up and left to find a chest with Poison Charm. Don't go through the door nearby though. Instead
go back down and left. Head through the door guarded by the enemy here, after getting the chest with
Sage just on the left of the door.
After going through the last door, you should fall face to face with the boss. If not, you took the wrong
way. It's not that hard of a battle, so dispose of him quickly and head downstairs to the next area. Here,
head down the hallway and examine the inscription on the wall to receive Arrows. Now head over to the
center of the room for a cutscene. Head up from there and on the right you should find a statue of a
woman. Examine it to place the arrows on it. Now what you must do here is check all inscriptions on the
walls around the whole room to find out the order in which the arrows should be shot.
Go to the control panel in the center of the room after placing the arrows and select different orders for
different results. "South-south-east" will raise a bridge on the left so you can get the chest with Opal.
"North-north-west" will raise a bridge on the right so you can get the chest with Silk Cloak.
"East-south-east" will raise the bridge leading to the exit. In the next section, you'll step on a tile that will
open a gate ahead. Before taking care of that, head right and up to find a chest with Ink in the middle and
a chest with Seal Charm at the end of the path.
When you're ready, step on the tile to open the gate and go right. Head up a bit, then go left and start
proceeding north going against the wind. Avoid the gusts coming at you until you reach the gate before it
closes. You'll now need to face the boss, Ventus. What works best against him are Emil's sky combos.
You can equip these skills from the menu screen. If you keep on attacking him with attacks that sends him
in the air, he won't have time to attack back. If you don't have the skills yet, level-up some more. After
you defeat him, return all the way back to the entrance and leave the underground.
Before leaving, go back to see the mayor in the house at the top of the residential area. After talking to
him, Colette will depart on her side. Leave the town and select the new location on the world map,
Hakonesia Peak.
Hakonesia Peak
After the scene as you enter the new area, head down and examine the grey object behind the man
crouching down on the left by the fence to find the Wonder Chef for the Rice Bowl recipe. Then enter
the house on the right and talk to Koton for another scene. When you're done, head down to the world
map and enter Palmacosta.
After the scene, head up to the building in the top-right corner to meet up with Richter. After that other
scene, head over to the west and enter the pub in the second screen. Talk to Marta inside, then return to
the first screen. Enter the building in the top-left corner and speak with the woman inside. Head back
outside for another scene. Before leaving town, go east to the second screen and enter the first building on
your right. Head up to the second floor and examine the briefcase in the corner to find the Wonder Chef
for the Sandwhich recipe. Now leave town and go to the Dynasty Ruins. You can also head over to Luin
for an extra cutscene.
Dynasty Ruins
After the cutscene, head into the left path to find a chest with Thunder Cape. Then head into the right
path all the way to the end to find a chest with Lizard Skin. Go up and left from there for a chest
containing White Mittens. Return to the entrance and go right. Examine the pedestal to change the
Sorcerer's Ring to light element, then proceed up the long stairway ahead for a cutscene. You'll find
Thomas, but you'll also need to fight Alice. She isn't that hard to defeat, but make sure to take her down
first as she will heal herself and the monster with her.
After defeating Alice, head right to a locked gate. Make sure you changed the Sorcerer's Ring to the light
attribute at the entrance. Light up one of the globes on the side of the gate with the ring to open it. Go in
for yet another scene. Afterwards, head down the nearby south stairway and push the block here into the
water on the right. Go back up and head down the other stairway to the right. Ignore the first ladder and
continue right to another ladder at the end of the path. Climb it up to find a globe on the wall up there.
Light it with the ring to change the flow of water. Then run back all the way left and go down the small
ladder at the end. Continue left and return to where you pushed the first block.
Head down from there and go right. Since you pushed the block in the water and changed the direction of
the water, the block should now create a bridge so you can cross. You'll find another block ahead. Push it
down and then left into the water. Now run back left all the way to the end of the path. The flow should
carry the block to the left. Wait for the block to make a bridge for you to cross at the end and get the two
chests there containing Life Bottle and 2,500 Gald. Now go back upstairs to where you started. Head
down the stairway on the right, then climb up the small ladder and continue all the way right until you find a
block covered in moss. Run up to the right to find a pedestal at the end. Examine it to change the
Sorcerer's Ring back to fire element. Go back down to the block and use the ring on it to burn the moss.
Then push the block south into the water below.
Head back up and change the ring back to light element. Go left from where the block was and light up the
globe on the wall to change back the flow of the water. The block below will move and create a bridge on
the left. Now light the globe again to change the flow once again. Proceed left and return to the beginning.
Head down back to the bottom level and go all the way right. Head up for a chest with the Long Sword
in the corner, then head back down and cross the new bridge on the right. Continue all the way to the end
and go through the door after getting the chest with Leather Cape on the left.
You'll come out in a new room. After the scene, go all the way left to find a chest with Gothic Spinner.
Head down to the second platform and go all the way right to find a chest with Sturdy Bandanna at the
end. When you're ready, save your game and head down to the center. You'll be attacked by the boss.
That one isn't as hard as previous ones as it has no minions with him. After defeating it, you'll get
swallowed and wake up on the beach on the other side of the ocean. Once the cutscene is over, you'll be
back on the world map. Select Iselia as your next destination.

This is the third in series of profiles of VIBC's amazing directors. The first focussed on co-chairs Kiran Mander and Vishal Hiralal, and the second on Milan Singh. Here we introduce VIBC's Director of Finance Sonny Dhillon.
Fittingly, Sonny has extensive background in finance and business management. He has a degree in accounting from BCIT, and applies his knowledge well in his work with VIBC, an organization he is dedicated to building and evolving.
When not volunteering at VIBC, he enjoys listening to music—everything from Sufi to rap—playing cricket, and watching bhangra performances. Sonny is extremely passionate and excited about City of Bhangra Festival 2015, and is especially looking forward to the EKTA concert featuring Shazia Manzoor on May 30. EKTA is Hindi for "unity," and Sonny believes this event truly will strengthen solidarity between local Pakistani and Indian communities, among others.
Sonny believes that COB 2015 will be VIBC's biggest and best yet, and feels fortunate to be part of the VIBC team! (And we're lucky to have you, Sonny!)

They are liars.
I won but did not receive it.
They did not give them away.
No message or cord was given.
And they cancelled the code for ridiculous reasons.
I waited for the code after the code had won,
but I sent the twitch message because they did not send it.
They had no reply.It was a perfect snub.
I sent more messages twice.
There was no reply.
There was no code received.
So I thought they didn't check the message.
I looked for another way of talking.
Before that, I was banned from chatting on the twitch chat forever.
South Koreans continued to blame chat.
I asked for it to stop. In Korean chat.
For that reason, I was banned from chatting forever.
So I have a limited way to talk to them.
I chose a Facebook message in a different way.
They read but there was no reply.
So I sent a message again, but there was no reply.
The code has not been sent either.
They did not send code for six days.
I have chosen another conversation method.
It was to make a new twitch ID.
I talked to them with a new ID.
"I am siniors1n1.
Since you did not receive the code, please resend the code again."
I spoke in the chat room.
I didn't receive the code, so I need you to send it back.
They ignored and did not give the code.
And the broadcast was closed.
I sent a Facebook message again.
Send me the winning code.
I asked for an answer.
Their answer is " you have multiple accounts. Your code is revoked"
They ignored my message so far.
In that word, I was devastated.
They didn't intend to give me the code.
They are liars.
What I resent more than that is that they completely ignore my message.
I am too angry and angry.
I was so angry that I sent a similar message to them.
They curse.
I want to expose their brutality.
you have multiple accounts. Your code is revoked
The provisions of this word were nowhere to be found.
Let me know if there's any rule I haven't seen.
They just hate me because I'm Korean.
Also, it was yellow skin.
Also, it was not an English-speaking country.
They are trash.
I have so much time to invest in these crimes so far.
To vent anger, write a letter.

Set a budget and stick to it
"Know where your money's going," says Laurie Campbell, CEO of Credit Canada Debt Solutions, a debt-counselling service.
Setting a budget -- or spending plan -- ensures your money is going to optimal areas.
"If you've done the work to create a budget, yet you consistently spend beyond it, then the first step is to find out why you're breaking your budget," says Campbell. "Then you can take steps to fix those problems."
"Typically, budget busters happen because of unplanned expenses, an unrealistic beginning budget or a lack of motivation and commitment to stick to the budget."
Here are Campbell's 10 steps to create a budget that works:
Get pen and paper -- and start recording all of your monthly expenses.
Know exactly how much income you can rely on a monthly basis. Try not to count on any irregular sources of income.
Round up your bills. This will tell you your monthly fixed and variable expenses.
Fixed vs. variable expenses:
Fixed expenses include your mortgage or rent. It's an exact amount every month. Variable expenses may include costs such as car repairs. You're not quite sure what the amount will be. Round up an estimated amount for the year and divide by 12 to get a monthly figure for your budget.
Round up your statements: credit card and other outstanding bills. These monthly payments will also need to be included in your monthly budget.
Do the math. Add up your income and subtract all your monthly expenses. What's the result? Do you have extra money or are you in a deficit?
Once you've done the math, re-tweak your budget. This is a step that needs to be done on a regular basis. If the money coming in pales in comparison to the money going out, where can you cut costs? Go through your variable expenses and see where you can reduce.
Know your needs and wants. If your income's tight, limit your spending to your needs only. What are your priorities? Ensure the money goes to those first.
Time to plan for unexpected/unplanned expenses. Put aside a set amount on a monthly basis to cover or help out with these unexpected costs - and avoid using credit.
How much to put away in savings?
General rule of thumb says 10 per cent of income should ideally go towards savings. That amount scares off a lot of people, says Campbell. She recommends putting away up to 10 per cent for savings. "If you can start something small like $20 a month, then start with something so you're at least putting away some money a month," says Campbell. "So when you refine the budget, and you get better at it, you'll find more money available."
Track expenses. Use online tools and apps to help record your daily expenses and help you stay on track. If you're old school, a notepad and pen will do to help you record all of your daily costs.
Campbell's recommended tools:
Credit Canada's monthly budget tracker has easy-to-follow charts. Carry the guide with you and record everything you spend daily each month.
Mint.com allows the consumer to get a handle on finances. It organizes and categorizes your spending for you. See where every dime goes and make money decisions you feel good about.
PearBudget captures many of the features of Quicken in an online service that doesn't grab your account information. It helps you create a budget and track your spending. It doesn't help you track investments or income growth. You can use the paid online version or try out a free spreadsheet version.
Continue to track and trim where necessary.

In a town with too many leaking or missing roofs, a weekend forecast predicting more rain meant scores of workers and homeowners doing fast, makeshift repairs to ward off the possibility of more damage.
"We've done as well as we can do given the circumstances in such a short period of time," said Doug Riat, Kansas University's director of facilities operations, describing efforts to patch up campus buildings. "It won't be 100 percent, but there's no way you can piece in anything else."
KU workers and outside contractors have been working quickly to mitigate damage from Sunday's storm, which did an estimated $6 million in damage to the campus.
Riat said a main goal is to protect building contents from exposure to water. For example, he said storm damage at the Computer Service Facility left holes in the roof, exposing expensive and sensitive equipment to the elements.
Jordan Yochim, assistant director for administration at KU's Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center, said he was glad the university was working quickly to keep the buildings from leaking.
"I'm fairly confident it's suitable protection for the short term," Yochim said. "We're always careful with our specimens, but we're taking extra measures just in case."
The upper floors of Dyche Hall are home to student and staff offices and the museum's diverse collection of bird and mammal specimens. Researchers at the museum have covered the specimens in plastic to ensure their safety.
Because the collection is mostly used for research, Yochim said they have blocked off that part of the museum from the general public for quite some time.
Bernie Kish, director of facilities at the Robinson Center, is no stranger to leaks with the more than 20-year-old roof covering the center's basketball court.
He said whenever there is a good amount of rainfall, he and others at the center get buckets ready to catch the leaks over the court. The already deteriorating roof was on the university's list of things to be replaced in the next couple of years.
"It wasn't a surprise that there was a lot of damage done," Kish said. "Yesterday you could actually see through the roof."
There was no rain or severe weather Wednesday, but winds made the repairs difficult.
"When the wind is blowing, anything temporary is going to be a couple of blocks away by the end of the day," Riat said.
Beyond the KU campus, efforts to prepare quickly for the next rain were evident across the city on Wednesday.
John Huff said he was relieved when he saw two roof repairmen put up ladders on the house he rents in East Lawrence, especially after he heard the weekend's weather report.
Storm assistance
Douglas County governments and certain nonprofit organizations may be eligible for federal assistance to repair damage to public infrastructure caused by Sunday's microburst. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has requested a team to assess public infrastructure damage to determine eligibility in Douglas and Wyandotte counties. The team, made up of federal, state and local representatives, will begin preliminary damage assessments on March 23. Assessments have already determined that individuals and business owners are not eligible for federal assistance.
The National Weather Service said there was a 30 percent chance of rain Saturday and 50 percent on Sunday. Some rain fell Wednesday evening.
"There are places where you can look straight up and see right through into the air," Huff said of the old house at the corner of 13th and Connecticut streets.
The roofers weren't making final repairs. They were covering damaged areas with tarpaulin with plans to return sometime later, Huff said.
"There were air vents that were blown off the roof leaving holes the size of a basketball," Huff said.
National Weather Service forecasts Wednesday also were calling for a slight chance of snow on the weekend. But 6News weatherman Matt Sayers said he thought chances for rain or even snow were stronger early next week.
"I think the better chances will come Monday or even Tuesday," Sayers said.
Any significant rain could cause additional problems for property owners waiting on repairs for houses damaged by Sunday morning's microburst.
Local roofers are swamped with calls for work. Phone lines Wednesday afternoon were consistently busy, rang into answering machines or were answered by harried-sounding receptionists.
A woman who answered the phone at Garrison Roofing said more than 200 calls for work had been received since Sunday.

Fortunately, my wife and I aren't predisposed to course language (my worst is usually "mothergrabbin'"). When I get upset, it's like watching an edited-for-TV film on the FX channel.
But having a small child really puts a spotlight on the things we say. I never realized how often I utter "What the heck?" until Elliot started repeating the phrase. Kelly got annoyed with this, and now I'm banned from saying it.
Is it profane or vulgar? Maybe not, but I guess you don't want a 3-year-old peppering his language with "What the heck?"
Tonight Elliot had to leave dinner to use the bathroom. His underwear and pants were wet, so I took them off.
Elliot then tried to return to the dining table.
"Wait, you can't do that."
"You need to at least put on clean underwear."
"Because you don't want to get food in your junk."
I realized immediately I'd made a mistake.
"What's 'junk'?" Elliot said.
"Uh, your...area. Down there."
"'Junk,' that's funny, Daddy."
Ugh. That one has definitely been committed to his memory banks.

Walter Jones embracing his Hall of Fame family
Latest Video
After the Jets made a big leap toward the top of the draft order, Bucky Brooks updates his latest 2018 NFL Draft projection. Watch
Latest Photos
CANTON, Ohio – Family means everything to Walter Jones. Always has. Always will.
And now his already large biological family is being augmented as the Seahawks' nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle is being enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
"My family is here, and all my friends re here," Jones said Friday afternoon during an interview session – the first stop in what will be a busy couple of days as Jones will get his Gold Jacket during a banquet Friday night, be featured in a parade through the streets of this quaint community on Saturday morning and, finally, be inducted into the Hall on Saturday night.
"The most important thing to me is my family, so it's going to be a great moment."
Jones already has the largest contingent of family members at this weekend's festivities – 75 strong, including his mother, Earline; and kids, Walterius and Waleria. It's a "family" that only got larger as he played at Florida State University and the Seahawks.
But that "family" still is growing when you include the other six members of the Hall of Fame Class of 2014 – Derrick Brooks, Ray Guy, Claude Humphrey, Michael Strahan, Andre Reed and Aeneas Williams. Add the other 280 whose busts already are in the Hall and, well, Jones realizes how blessed he is to be part of this establishment that salutes the elite of the game he played so well for 12 seasons.
"It's been fun for my family, especially my son. Here's been with me throughout this whole process," Jones said of Walterius, who was with his father when he got word that he had been voted into the Hall the night before the Seahawks won Super Bowl XLVIII and will present him during the Saturday night ceremony.
"For him to be a part of this, especially with the Class, he's already calling them uncles. So that's amazing for him. Just to get a chance to have something like this that will be a part of his life forever. He'll always be a part of this Class, too."
Just like Jones' family has always been a part of his life – no matter how large and far-reaching it gets.
"Everybody knows the most important thing to me is family," he said.
"Walter is one of those guys when he came into the league everybody said he's got the credentials to go all the way – to get the team to the Super Bowl, which he did in 2005; and to make it to the Hall of Fame," Largent said.
"Walter is just the perfect combination of a guy with the size and speed, the weight that you want in an offensive tackle. But more than that, he's really a guy that is a real man of character. That's a good combination to make a Hall of Fame player, and that's exactly what Walter is."
The feelings are mutual, especially after Jones had lunch with Largent and Cortez Kennedy – the other career-long Seahawk is in the Hall of Fame.
"I got a chance to hang out with Tez and Steve today," Jones said. "So that was amazing, just to sit with those guys. I really never got a chance just to sit down and have lunch with Steve. So that was awesome, just to have laughs with him."
Brooks, a linebacker for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after being Jones' teammate at Florida State, also appreciates sharing this weekend with Jones.
"It's special," Brooks said. "I've talked to Walter more in the last six months than we have in 12 years. But it is extremely special. Obviously Walter and I share some history – this being the second time that two guys from the same college went in on the first ballot. And we wear that proudly.
"I'm excited to see him enjoy this process because he's a man of a very few words but a whole lot of action. So to see him enjoy this along with me, I can't say how excited I am about it."
The reunion started that Saturday night before the Super Bowl in February when it was announced that Jones and Brooks were members of the Class of 2014, and it is continuing this weekend.
"Walter was the first guy I hugged when I got in the room in New York," Brooks said. "And we're still hugging each other in celebration." Read

Chapter 3 : three
|Rating: 15+
|Chapter Reviews: 1
Background: Font color:
Looking up and down the long corridor, Sally sighed. It was empty. She smoothed down her top, fiddling with the buttons on her front nervously. She was going out. Socialising. It was even called a 'social'- she was pretty sure she didn't have the qualifications for this. All she wanted to do was to play Quidditch, not go out. She'd only come because James had said 'compulsory' and because she'd assumed that one appearance at a social meant she wouldn't have to go to any of the other ones.
She rubbed at an imagined scuff mark on her patent leather ballet pumps and leaned against the wall. She'd really tried hard tonight, which meant she was wearing her only non-sensible pair of shoes, newish jeans and a red cotton blouse and her hair was neatly tied back in a ponytail. The third year that had beaten Sally to seeker came around the corner, with a short girl who was wearing an even shorter skirt. They stood slightly apart from Sally, clearly not wanting to be tainted by association. Sally ignored them.
James Potter arrived five minutes before half past, and trailing behind him was the rest of the team. Sally was sat in the corridor, opposite the hunchbacked statue, leant back against the wall and her eyes were closed. Sirius Black gave her a light kick, and she started.
"W-what?" she said, blinking.
"Were you asleep?" he said, amusedly.
She rubbed her eyes. "I didn't get much sleep last night."
He held out a hand to help her up- behind him, Potter was trying to count heads, but his words seemed to be slurring slightly. "I'm afraid you probably won't get much tonight..." Black broke off as James staggered slightly, causing Remus to put out a steadying hand.
"Look at that disgrace," Sirius continued, indicating his friend and shaking his head. "That sad excuse is our captain, and our Head Boy. I've got a good mind to write to Dumbledore and complain. What kind of a school is this, anyway?"
Potter heard him and stuck his tongue out, as Remus took over the attendance. Black went over to help James stay upright, leaving Sally again. She looked around the corridor. The team (and friends) were making a hell of a lot of noise, but there was no sign of Filch, any teachers, or even a Prefect. There was about twenty of them all together, including a few reserves- most of whom were too young to come. Sally watched with interest as Remus tapped the hunchbacked statue with his wand, whispering something she couldn't hear. With a loud creaking, the statue split open, revealing a black crevasse in the witch's back, which grew wide enough to fit a person down.
"Everyone's here," Remus called, gesturing at the hole in the statue. "Let's go!"
Sally ended up at the back of the mob, following the noise down the passageway. "Lumos!" she said, lighting her wand on the first try. It took about twenty minutes until the tunnel ended, but it probably would have been quicker if the majority of people in front of her weren't stumbling. They finished up in Honeydukes, Sally assumed, judging from the sweet smells of chocolate and toffee.
Sirius was at the top of the passageway, holding open the trapdoor for the team. "Thought we'd lost you for a second there, Wood," he whispered.
Sally smiled at him. "Not likely."
He grinned back, letting the trapdoor down softly. Any noise he made was covered up by the rest of the team though- they were making more of a racket trying to be quiet than they had been earlier. Sirius jogged off to join his friends at the front of the column, and Sally stayed at the back, content to follow them.
They ended up in the Three Broomsticks, with Madam Rosmerta seemingly unaware that the majority of her patrons were underage. Sally found a corner and a stool, and squished herself in. Really, she was happy enough to just sit there and watch the rest of the team as they chatted and laughed and drank. Georgia Jones had a frothy moustache from her ale, and was also having to fend off James' wandering hands. Remus was sitting with a few of the younger kids and was teaching them a drinking game- Pettigrew was with them as well, but he was sound asleep. Someone knocked over Remus' drink, and he leaped up, but the pint left a brown stain all down the front of his shirt. She couldn't see Black though and Sally felt a pang of worry, searching the familiar faces again.
"Who are you looking for?"
She jumped and swore in surprise.
"You're quite on edge, aren't you?" Black said, laughing.
Sally pushed him half-heartedly. "I am when people wake me up suddenly or deliberately scare me."
Black agilely hopped up onto the stool next to her. "Enjoying yourself?" he asked.
To her surprise, Sally nodded honestly. "I am actually."
"Good," he said. "Wait- do you even have a drink?"
"Have you had a drink at all tonight?"
"No? Should I have?"
Black snorted. "That is the idea, you know? Socialising, having a drink with your mates..." he trailed off, and jumped down from his seat. "Stay there."
He left and Sally settled back, almost surprised again when he returned with two pale orange pints which smelt of spices and sugar. He passed one to Sally, and managed to get back onto his tall stool without spilling any, a feat which she complimented him on.
"Thanks," he said.
She smiled. "Thanks for the drink. What is it?" she said, sniffing it experimentally.
Black shook his head. "I have no idea. It tastes amazing though, and it's got rum in." He looked immensely satisfied with himself, and Sally raised a questioning eyebrow. He shrugged. "I just really like rum."
They were silent for a moment, before Sally realised she should say something. That was how you socialised, wasn't it? "Are all socials like this?" she asked.
Black nodded, taking a deep drink of his pint. "Yeah, we all meet up, then come down here until closing. They're usually smaller than this though- just the main team and no friends. Less hassle, but we say its for better team bonding."
"How come you could get away with a party this big tonight?"
"Ah, James managed to sweet talk McGonagall into letting us have one big social at the start of the year on the condition they won't catch us having another."
"So the rest of the socials..."
Black grinned. "We just don't let them catch us."
Sally laughed, and across the room, Potter threw back his head and laughed so much at something he started to hiccup.
Black shook his head. "What a mess. It's never fun being the responsible sober one."
"You don't drink?" Sally asked, surprised, trying to remember. She was pretty sure she'd seen them all drunk before.
"Oh no, of course I do, but James and I take it in turns at socials to be the responsible ones. I drew the short straw tonight. Remus helps out as well," he said, nodding at the table across from them. "He's got the constitution of a giant though, so lucky for him, he doesn't have to go easy on the rum," he said forlornly, swilling his drink around in the glass.
"Don't cry into it Black, you'll spoil it," Sally said, and he grinned.
It was past midnight by the time they reached the castle grounds. They'd been kicked out of the pub at closing time, about half eleven, and now Sally and Sirius were bringing up the rear of the party. Remus was leading, and the middle was a mess of drunkards who were singing an extremely rude version of the school song.
The main party was actually very far in front, but the two of them had to keep shepherding any stragglers- which was actually the Captain and a younger kid. As they got closer, Sally realised it was the third year who beat her to Seeker. The lad was propping up James as they staggered up the path, but he suddenly let go to be sick, and James fell heavily, landing on his side and rolling down the path a little way.
Sirius raised his eyebrows. "That is really going to hurt in the morning."
James managed to get to his knees before groaning loudly and vomiting as well. Up ahead, Georgia turned around and laughed at him. Sirius shook his head at his friend and jogged up to him.
"Come on mate, better out than in." He patted him on the back lightly, while James coughed. "Sally, can you get Daniel, please?"
Sally gingerly walked up to the boy, who was hunched over, his face ashen. "You alright, mate?" she said, trying to adopt Black's easy going tone.
"Does it look like it?" Daniel said, spitting onto the grass.
"Are you finished?" Sally said, more snappishly. She had no time for rudeness, not when she was trying to help and could easily just leave him on the side of the path.
"Give us a hand up," he said, instead of answering, and Sally managed to heave him to his feet, keeping a cautious hand on his arm the rest of the way to the castle, while Black half-dragged James behind.
"There's a side door," Black hissed as they stood in front of the huge oak doors. "Round to the right. Is it open?"
Sally left Daniel propped up against the wall and lit her wand, shining it towards where Sirius was pointing. There was a door, half-hidden in shadows, and not one she'd ever noticed before. She gave it a kick and it swung open easily.
"Yeah, it's open," she called back, and heard James retch again.
"God's sake, how do you even have anything left to bring up?" Black said crossly, and Sally stepped out of their way as they stumbled through the door.
She went back for Daniel, who was in exactly the same position as she'd left him, and looped his arm across her shoulders. They made it back to the common room without incident, apart from James falling down one of the moving staircases. Sirius helped Daniel to the top before he went back for James, who seemed quite content to lie on the stone floor, curled up on his side.
"Sleepy drunk?" Sally said with a smile, after it took both of them to get him up. "My brother is exactly the same. He has a few and then hell or high water won't wake him."
They left James sat outside the common room, while they both got Daniel into his dormitory. "He'll be alright," Sirius said, as he staggered across the room and straight into the curtains of a four poster- which judging by the yell, was already occupied.
Then it was James' turn, and Black had to pull him through the portrait hole, with Sally on the other side pushing in order to get him in.
"Why is he so heavy?" Sally panted, and Sirius shook his head.
"I'm telling him he needs to go on a diet," he said, heaving Potter on to the nearest sofa. Sally swung his legs up after; they were like lead weights.
She pushed her hair back from her face, and sighed, checking her watch. Nearly one in the morning, and Flitwick's essay was still untouched. She counted the hours. Maybe... five hours sleep tonight? And that was only if she got to sleep straight away. She felt too awake and alert, but Black yawned, and Sally found herself copying him.
"I'm just going to leave him down here," he said. "I can't be arsed dragging him up all those stairs."
Sally nodded in agreement, and spotted the team's Keeper also sprawled across an armchair, his mouth wide open. "I'm off to bed," she said. "Thanks, I had a good night."
"Despite being awfully sober and having to look after terrible drunkards?" Black said, also starting towards his staircase. Sally smiled.
"Even despite that."

Parma have still not given up in the chase to sign Juventus striker Amauri despite the costs involved.
With just a year left on his contract in Turin, the Brazilian-born individual will be sold this summer rather than released on a Bosman next June.
A host of clubs are interested in the Italian international, but his €7m valuation and his current €4m a season wages are problematic.
Palermo had recently manoeuvred themselves in a position to sign the striker for the second time, but Parma are still monitoring his situation.
Amauri scored seven goals in 11 League games for the Gialloblu last season during a six-month loan spell at the Stadio Tardini.

State of Emergency Declared in Ohio After Toxins Were Found in Water
The AP reports that Ohio governor John Kasich has declared a state of emergency in Toledo, Ohio, after tests showed the presence of a toxin in the city's water supply. About 400,000 people have been warned not to drink the water.
According to Toledo News Now, chemists found two sample readings for microcystin when testing water at Toledo's Collins Park Water Treatment Plant. The AP notes that the toxin may have come from algae on Lake Erie.
Residents of Toledo and the neighboring suburb Lucas County, which receives water from the city of Toledo, are being told not to use or boil the city's water. Toledo leaders are reportedly setting up water distribution centers, as many stores in Toledo have already sold out of bottled water.
The AP reports that the emergency order will "allow the state to begin bringing water into the Toledo area." From the AP:
Toledo's mayor says it's too early to know how long the water advisory will stay in place. More tests are being done and results are expected later Saturday.

[JURIST] [JURIST Europe] A letter from US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice may have been instrumental in preventing the UNs World Summit on the Information Society [JURIST report] last month from making changes to the current control structure of the internet. The letter, co-signed by US Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez, was sent to British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw whose country currently holds the EU Presidency [official website]. The letter, dated November 7, read in part:
The governance structure and continued stability and sustainability of the Internet are of paramount importance to the United States. The Internet has become an essential infrastructure for global communications, including for global trade and commerce, and therefore we firmly believe that support for the present structures for Internet governance is vital. These structures have proven to be a reliable foundation for the robust growth of the Internet we have seen over the course of the last decade...The US succeeded at the Summit in lobbying world leaders against proposed changes that would involve groups like the European Union, and left the California-based Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) [official website] in charge of the internets root servers and naming system. The full text of the letter can be found here. The Guardian has more.
The Internet will reach its full potential as a medium and facilitator for global economic expansion and development in an environment free from burdensome intergovernmental oversight and control. The success of the Internet lies in its inherently decentralized nature, with the most significant growth taking place at the outer edges of the network through innovative new applications and services. Burdensome, bureaucratic oversight is out of place in an Internet structure that has worked so well for many around the globe. We regret the recent positions on Internet governance(i.e., the new cooperation model) offered by the European Union, the Presidency of which is currently held by the United Kingdom, seems to propose just that - a new structure of intergovernmental control over the Internet...
The United States and the European Union have long worked together toward the goal of global access to the Internet. The WSIS offers us the opportunity to reaffirm our partnership to spread the benefits of the Internet globally. At the same time, the security and stability of the Internet are essential to the United States, the European Union, and to the world. We firmly believe that the existing Internet system balances the stability and security we need with the innovation and dynamism that private sector leadership provides.

Analysts are expecting the tablet fad to continue for the time being. IDC has revised its tablet shipment forecast to 53.5 million units, 6.2 percent more than previously expected.
The optimistic forecast comes after a slight dip in sales back in Q1, which was caused by iPad 2 supply bottlenecks. The fact that a minor delay in iPad shipments has such a profound effect on the tablet market in general is a clear indication of Apple dominance, which is also set to continue.
According to some estimates, Apple currently holds 56 percent of the tablet market, followed by Samsung with 12 percent. All other vendors are in the single digit range, Asus has about 5 percent, LG, Motorola and RIM have under 3 percent.
Although Android tablets were being touted as an affordable alternative to Apple's iPad, most vendors appear to have lost the plot somewhere along the way. High end Android tablets are anything but bargains, while cheap sub-$200 designs are a waste of time and money.

Lubbock, Texas Texas Tech's victory over No. 24 Kansas State is the biggest win of coach Mike Leach's career.
Tech's 38-19 victory Saturday night was the first time in five tries that Leach has beaten a ranked team since taking over at Tech at the end of the 1999 season.
"I think we reached higher and strived higher," Leach said. "I think we got a taste of what our potential is and have to reach beyond that."
Kliff Kingsbury threw for 409 yards and four touchdowns.
"He did the things he had to do," said Kansas State coach Bill Snyder. "I thought he was great. And his receivers made some great plays."
Sophomore running back Wes Welker caught two touchdown passes, including a 60 yarder, the longest scoring play this season for Tech (3-2, 1-2 Big 12).
The outcome left Kansas State (2-3, 0-3 Big 12) winless in the Big 12. It was the Red Raiders' first victory in conference play.
Kingsbury, coming off a thumb injury, completed 32 of 47 passes for 409 yards, the most passing yardage ever given up by Kansas State. He rotated among several receivers, giving the Wildcats' secondary fits.
He also threw three interceptions.
Welker's 60-yard catch from Kingsbury gave the Red Raiders a 17-7 lead heading into halftime. A 33-yard pass from Kingsbury to wide receiver Carlos Francis set up the touchdown.
Welker was wide open after Wildcats defensive back Milton Proctor and linebacker Ben Leber bumped into each other. Welker scampered into the end zone untouched.
Kingsbury threw his first touchdown of the season to a wide receiver in the third quarter, connecting with Anton Paige on a 12-yarder for a 24-7 lead.
"Everybody did a great job refocusing" after last week's overtime loss to Kansas, Kingsbury said. "It was a great win."
Tech's defense held the Wildcats offense to 146 rushing yards. Going into the game, K-State ranked 14th nationally with 220 rushing yards per game.
"We recognize we're not a real good football team right, and we have to take it upon ourselves individually to get better," Snyder said. "That will allow us to get better collectively."
Tech defensive coordinator Greg McMackin put in two freshmen defensive tackle Clayton Harmon and linebacker Mike Smith to replace starters Robert Wyatt and Toby Shain.
McMackin also moved Kevin Curtis from strong safety to free safety and started sophomore Ryan Aycock into strong safety.
"I thought (the defense) played really well," Leach said. "They all deserve credit."
The Wildcats' first score came on their second possession when quarterback Marc Dunn, starting in place of Ell Roberson who was nursing a sore ankle, found wide receiver Brandon Young on a 47-yard pass. He outran two Tech defender after pulling in the ball.
K-State next scored near the end of the third quarter when Josh Scobey ran it in from 26 yards out but kicker Wade Waltman missed the point after to leave the Wildcats behind 24-13.
Tech's most interesting scoring play came early in the fourth quarter when Dupree Scovell fumbled a Kingsbury completion and Francis scooped it up, retreated about 15 yards before turning back upfield and to the opposite side of the field and ran it in for a touchdown.The touchdown covered 33 yards from the line of scrimmage, but Francis ran easily twice that far before making it to the end zone.
Welker's first touchdown, a 2-yarder, capped a seven-play, 67-yard drive that came near the end of the first quarter.

A powerful 8.0 magnitude earthquake caused a tsunami that sent strong waves crashing into several South Pacific islands, with officials in the Solomon Islands fearful that some residents had lost their lives.
The earthquake prompted tsunami warnings and watches from several island chains to Australia and later New Zealand, but many of those were later canceled.
The low-lying Solomon Islands, however, were not spared. George Herming, a government spokesman, said the tsunami sent two nearly five-foot waves into the western side of Santa Cruz Island, damaging at least 50 homes.
The police commissioner of the islands, John Lansley, said his patrols reported that at least four people and perhaps more were likely killed by the waves and ensuing flooding.
Richard Dapo, a school principal on an island near Santa Cruz, told the Associated Press that he had been getting calls from families on the coast whose homes had been damaged by the waves.
"I try to tell the people living on the coastline, 'Move inland, find a higher place. Make sure to keep away from the sea. Watch out for waves,'" he said.
The earthquake struck around 11 a.m. local time in the Santa Cruz Islands. There were conflicting reports as to the depth of the quake.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the tsunami warning was limited to the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Tuvalu, New Caledonia, Kosrae, Fiji, Kiribati, and Wallis and Futuna.
A lesser alert, a tsunami watch, was declared for American Samoa, Australia, Guam, the Northern Marianas, New Zealand and eastern Indonesia.

Fiji Time: 10:39 AM on Saturday 24 March

PEOPLE in Fiji are excited about the upcoming September general election, says visiting Australian Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Foreign Affairs Senator Brett Mason.
Speaking to members of the media in Sigatoka yesterday, Mr Mason said during the course of his visit to Fiji, he met various officials and discussed a wide range of subjects, including politics.
"I think thus far, all that we have seen on this trip is that the preparations are going well," he said.
"The Fijian people are also happy about the prospect of election in a few months and I have spoken a lot about the election and all the feedback has been very positive."
He said one of the main issues was the appointment of a co-leader to head international observer groups during the general election.
"We did raise the issue briefly with the Attorney-General and Australia is up for a co-leader. I think we are waiting to see what the terms of reference will be relating to the other co-leader, which is yet to be identified."
Mr Mason met Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum in Sigatoka yesterday.
Mr Sayed-Khaiyum said they held some general discussions about Fiji, politics of the past alongside politics of the future, as well as building strong institutions in Fiji.
"They have been helping us now for a number of months and we expressed our appreciation with the number of personnel that they have contributed to the elections office.
"It is quite encouraging to note the support from the Australians, Indians and even the Kiwis."

i uploaded new pictures and they don't show up on page

i uploaded new pictures and they don't show up on page
The blog I need help with is reneesandelowsky.wordpress.com.
Clear your browser cache please http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache
thank you --i tried that, but it didn't do anything. the new pictures are in the library, but not on the page. thanks anyway.
Yeah, me too. I'm having the same problem. Everything else shows up except this on picture...
It's not possible to see my pictures in preview. Formerly I could use small images but now I always have to publish in png.
Mine is not showing up in the reader but is showing up in preview
hmmm, i just created my blog yesterday so don't really know all the ins and outs of this program, but it's weird that others are having the same problem that I am. I wonder if there's anyone out there who knows how to solve this...
interniek, are you saying that jpg pictures don't work for you and you use another format? what is png? can i somehow change my pictures from jpg to png? thanks.
When I want to change the format of something, I just paste it into Paint, crop it and then click "save as" and then make sure to click on jpeg in the drop down under the title...
I don't want the png pictures at the moment. I use them only for print when my picture is to small for print. I only make video where I crab my pictures from.
It seems to me that WP wants we use the new way of publishing via the browser. But I don't like this. Happily there is a button to switch to the classic mode. Better would be to use the WordPress app which is out of control! I formerly used the option to upload pictures in the app. I never see the Photo library at all and I like that. Now I have only one option to Photos? And my former base is empty.
I was able to solve my own problem by copying the draft into a new post which worked fine.
If you're having trouble getting uploaded images to appear on a post/page, please give us a link to the post/page with the problem.
Thank you. Will get back to everyone soon. Sorry, can't write back just now.
I have the same problem. Cleared my browser cache. Followed lots of info I googled. Found this great site that as all kinds of feedback, helpful stuff and lots of news bites about wordpress... But I have the same jpg problem! Any ideas? I too don't want to use PNGs
If you're having trouble getting uploaded images to appear on a post/page, please give us a link to the post/page with the problem.
I don't think that the app page where I have trouble has a link. I think the bug is in the WP app itself. The icon right below on the upload page for pictures doesn't link to the former picture base on my iPad but to the one and only Photos base?!? There are all pictures in the same square thumbnails where I only can place a V-sign on the photos and chose 'ready'. Then it lasts very long time in the 'preview' to appear. Is it possible that the photos are in the cloud and not in the iPad?
Ah, in that case I recommend getting in touch with iOS app folks via http://ios.forums.wordpress.org/
OK Thanks!
You're welcome!

Excellent module.

Provides everything that is missing in Regexp engine.

I've used Parse::RecDescent and Parse::Eyapp before,
 but Regexp::Grammars is the new ultimate grammar king in Perl 5!

What I love in this module:
 - syntax is similar to Perl 6
 - hash match prevents grammar changes on new keys
 - "require:" makes numeric range check easy
 - context string available for fast debug
 - "debug:" pragmas for advanced debugging
 - easy aliasing of matched tokens
 - balanced delimiters
 - easy noncapture (amnesiac) syntax
 - passing params to tokens
 and many many more

Also there is "demo" section in package with nice examples that helped me may times to understand how to use features from this module.

David Duncan deny Heart of Lions approach
Former Hearts of Oak coach David Duncan has squashed reports linking him to the Heart of Lions job.
The former Ghana U23 coach claims his unresolved contractual dispute with Hearts of Oak prevents him from taking up another coaching job.
Duncan had his contract terminated in November last year and reported the matter to the Ghana FA's Status Committee where they ruled he was to be compensated US$ 40,000 for his unlawful dismissal.
Until the club pay that amount, Duncan will be unable to coach any other club until the expiration of his contract in November.
"It is never true that I have been approached by Heart of Lions,†Duncan told Graphic Sports.
"As it stands now I wouldn't be able to accept any job until November when I have negotiated my compensation package with Hearts.
"I will be ready to coach after everything has been cleared with Hearts.â€
Lions are looking for a replacement for Yusif Abubakar who is set to join Hearts of Oak.

A woman's scorn
John-Paul Witt | Thursday, February 8, 2007
Dateline Italy – The land of pizza, Popes and pasta. Enter the latest, hottest political scandal. No, it's not about pregnant chads, a stained dress, or even a major political figure yelling "byaaaa" during a speech. It's about honor, loyalty, and respect. I'm talking about, of course, the scandal involving the former Prime Minister of Italy, Silvio Berlusconi, 70. It seems that he made a few comments, such as, to Miss Amazonia Aida Yespica, "I'd go with you anywhere." And about a Member of Parliament of his own party, Mara Carfagna, "Take a look at her! I'd marry her if I weren't married already."If I weren't married already. He's married, of course, to the (beautiful, if I say so myself) former model and actress Veronica Berlusconi, 50. His wife of 27 years.To us Americans, this may not seem so bad. Admittedly, those old enough to remember the last 10 years have been desensitized to extramarital affairs in government. But it seems that, while that evokes a "boys will be boys" response from the electorate, the deliberate, public, verbal besmirching of a woman's honor is intolerable. I mean, I didn't see any letters to the New York Times after the events of 1998.But Veronica returned fire: "These are affirmations that I see as damaging to my dignity, affirmations that … cannot be reduced to jokes," she wrote in a letter to the La Repubblica newspaper. I am impressed. I applaud Veronica for having the courage to stand up for this affront to her self-respect.On the other hand, in 2002, while he was prime minister, Berlusconi said of the Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen that Rasmussen was "the best-looking prime minister in Europe … He's so good looking, I'm even thinking of introducing him to my wife." He also said that he charmed the Finnish prime minister, a woman, into allowing the EU to build a facility in Italy by using "all my playboy tactics, even if they have not been used for some time."Between you and me, I think Veronica should've seen this coming. If Berlusconi wasn't using his A-game "playboy tactics" at home, he had no business using them abroad. You don't slack off during the year and work hard during summer vacation. Now Veronica has a tell-all book deal, for "Veronica's Tendency," and Don Silvio tendered an apology: "I was reluctant in private, because I am playful but also proud. Challenged in public, the temptation to give in [to you] is strong. And I can't resist."I think Veronica is great for standing up to this maltreatment. But a book deal? Skip that, and do things the American way: turn the name recognition and publicity into a bid to become Italian's first female prime minister. At least then she could check out the other male prime ministers, instead of her husband.
