Rue Morgue's Creator
Former Editor-In-Chief Rodrigo Gudiño
Exclusive Interview for Girls and Corpses Magazine by David L Tamarin
All rights reserved
Rodrigo Gudiño is publisher of the world's most influential horror magazine, Rue Morgue, which covers horror in entertainment and culture, with a focus on horror films. The magazine has grown from a small stapled publication to a glossy magazine with accompanying radio, filmfest and website. He worked as editor-in-chief until recently when he turned that position over to Jovanka Vuckovic so that he could focus on his film career, although he still works closely with the magazine. The magazine covers film, art, culture, music, horror icons and even magazines such as Girls and Corpses. Here Girls and Corpses probes the mind of Mr. Gudiño, much as aliens probe the anal cavities of you Earthlings.
G&C: How was working on your first film, Rod? Are you planning on working on any other films, and will you be moving towards more movies and less writing and publishing?
RG: My first film was a learning experience. But it was also a ton of fun; I think I am really going to enjoy making movies in the future. And yes I will be making more movies -- that is why I retired from my post as editor-in-chief of Rue Morgue. However, I will continue to publish the magazine and work with Jovanka Vuckovic (the current editor) as well as with the Rue Morgue Radio guys and the team that puts together the Festival of Fear.
G&C: What is wrong with Hollywood films, and why are there so many recent American horror films that are terrible?
RG: You are right, there does seem to be a dearth of good horror movies right now. I think it has to do with the current fad to reference stuff that has gone before ie., in the form of remakes or films crammed with homages to other films. It doesn't seem to be the trend to invest in original ideas right now, and I suspect that's why so many movies are just not cutting it.
G&C: What are your feelings on 'splatter-porn' films like "Slaughter Discs"?
RG: Splatter porn is a hard sell because it tries to unify two opposing emotions physical revulsion and sexual attraction. Philosophically, this is an interesting concept but it's very ambitious and unfortunately film is an unforgiving medium: if you do not look professional or tell an engaging story or at least have convincing smut or gore, then you're not going to hit your mark. And I haven't seen anything yet that hits the mark.
G&C: What are your feelings on the new wave of extreme horror films like "August Underground" and "Murder-Set-Pieces"?
RG: I am open to extreme horror but all filmmakers - no matter whether they are making Murder Set Pieces or Maid In Manhattan are storytellers. And if you don't creatively invest in your story and/or your characters, your movie will only appeal to those with an overriding interest in special effects. I think it's for that very reason that I have found other films (such as Irreversible or The Manson Family), much more soul crushing than most "extreme horror" films. Making audiences feel extreme emotions is still an art form.
G&C: "Aftermath" made the cover of Rue Morgue- what are your thoughts on the film? Is it just thirty minutes of depraved gore or is it something more than that?
RG: There's definitely more going on than that. Nacho Cerda has said that his film is not a gore film because it is not festive the way gore films are and to a certain extent I agree with him. But beyond that, I see a filmmaker who is trying to come to terms with the indignities that befall the body once we die. It's a very hard truth that all human beings have to face, and while Nacho has illustrated it in possibly the worst way, the truth is that death is always the worst thing.
G&C: Do you have a favorite necrophilia scene in all of the films you have seen?
RG: Probably Dellamorte Dellamore because they made it look so pretty. But for realism I'd go with Aftermath all the way.
G&C: What got you interested in horror?
RG: I'm afraid the answer to that question is lost in the foggy memories of my childhood. To be honest I have no clue. But I have always been attracted to macabre imagery as far as I can remember. Even when it terrified me to the bone.
G&C: How did Rue Morgue get started, and how did it evolve into the horror institution that it is today?
RG: It started as a twenty page black and white zine back in 1997. I was writing under various pseudonyms at the time and had a few writers on board. It was as indie as indie gets. As to how it evolved to what it is today is a long story that can probably be summed up in the following words: originality, perseverance, love, luck.
G&C: "Rue Morgue" started as a magazine, and now you have a website, horrorfest and radio program. How did Rue Morgue develop these new ventures? Anything planned for the future? How about a television show- or possibly a channel?
RG: Rue Morgue was always about horror in culture and entertainment, in other words, not just about film but other media as well. So inevitably it was natural for me to develop Rue Morgue into those different media, like the radio program, the CineMacabre Movie Nights, our Halloween events and of course The Festival of Fear. But the future of Rue Morgue is in feature films, at least for now. We are still independent after all, and I want to move slowly to ensure that the quality remains.
G&C: Why are horror and humor so closely related?
RG: Probably because they are both instinctual and primal reflexes. No one can control what they find funny or frightening, it's in their genetic make-up. Ultimately, horror and humor expose deep subjectivities that allow us to identify the core of who we are.
G&C: Why are horror and sex so closely related?
RG: I suppose horror is closely tied to death whereas sex is all about life so the fact that they are opposing concepts ties them together. They probably would not be as meaningful or powerful on their own. But sex and death are also social taboos; they are socially or morally confrontational. That makes them especially related because no matter how essential sex and death are to the human experience, a big part of humanity will always be uncomfortable with those two concepts. As long as people are around, they always remain a source of social concern.
G&C: The music review section of Rue Morgue almost always has at least a couple of Misfits-influenced horror punk and rock-a-billy bands. What do you think of the genre and why are the Misfits such an influential band?
RG: I don't have any specific opinions about horror punk or rockabilly other than I like some of it despite its derivative nature. The Misfits seem to have hit on a nerve, much like the films Halloween or Night of the Living Dead did for filmmakers who just keep adoring and rehashing them. I suppose The Misfits' mixture of punk rock, fifties chic and B-horror captures something essential about the counterculture.
G&C: Are you looking forward to the new Rob Zombie "Halloween" film?
RG: Actually, yes I am. I think Rob cares about the new movie and, let's face it, it's been a long time since anyone involved with that franchise has.
G&C: If you opened the mail one day and there was an actual snuff movie in it, would you watch it and review it for Rue Morgue?
RG: No. Rue Morgue has always been about art and entertainment and snuff is not something I relate with those two words.
G&C: Are you reading anything interesting right now (for example, the webzine "Girls and Corpses"?)
RG: The only interesting thing I am reading right now is Girls With Corpses.
G&C: What horrorfests, conventions and film festivals will you be attending?
RG: I'm not sure which ones I will be personally attending but next year I will be concentrating more on film festivals to promote my movie The Eyes of Edward James and my upcoming film The Demonology of Desire as well as Rue Morgue Cinema in general.
G&C: What is the future of horror?
RG: People like you (Girls and Corpses Magazine).
G&C: Thanks, Rodrigo!
RG: Thx to you.
L-R: Jody Infurnari, Dave Alexander, Jovanka Vuckovic and
Rodrigo Gudino. The great Ray Harryhausen is sitting.

Thanks to all kinds of new technology in use in the 21st century, the world seems much smaller than it once did, and dog people now work more collaboratively with other breeders around the world. Importing dogs to the U.S. from other countries, of course, is a practice that originated in the 19th century with the very inception of the sport of showing dogs in America, and it continues today. But in the modern age, fanciers are also much more likely to travel abroad to show their dogs and to attend shows overseas, and are more inclined today to import semen to incorporate into their breeding programs.
It sounds simple enough: you establish a relationship with a breeder whose stock you admire and select a dog you'd like to breed to. The semen is collected, frozen and shipped to the U.S., and then you have a couple of options for inseminating your bitch. These are indeed the basics for how it all works. But the process is a bit more complicated, and it is a good idea to be forewarned, so that you're prepared ahead of time to get everything in order.
Naturally bringing semen in from overseas is not an inexpensive affair, but it can provide you with a priceless addition to your bloodline. However, since it is fairly costly, I suggest that you acknowledge first that this is a risky venture, with no guarantees that you'll get a live litter. One of numerous American facilities that specializes in reproduction, and the collection and storage of semen samples, the Canine Cryobank claims to have an 80-percent success rate using frozen semen, but other such banks don't put a number to it.
A friend and I recently decided that we wanted to have semen available from a dog in Sweden that we both greatly admire and that will make for a beautiful line-breeding with our girls. He is now 10 years old, and who knows how much longer he will sire puppies?
His owner, to whom I had an introduction through a friend here in the states, was kind enough to get a sperm count on the dog immediately after we inquired about him. The dog passed that test with flying colors. The veterinarian who collected him even froze, and then a week later thawed out, the sample to be sure the sperm would still be viable.
Now it was time to consider the stud fee. In Europe and Scandinavia, the practice is normally to pay a per-puppy fee, usually ranging from $200 to $400, depending on the breed, instead of a flat stud fee, to which most of us in the U.S. are accustomed. Neither of the bitches we plan to breed him to is ready yet, as we want them to be over 2 years old so we can do their genetic testing. But we decided to go ahead and bring his semen over while he still has a high sperm count and is still a vibrant dog. Our compatriot in Sweden agreed to go with a flat fee instead of the per-puppy fee she normally charges, since we won't know for quite some time exactly what we get in terms of number of puppies. I must say that we're all anxious to see what this dog will sire for us, and they are anxious to know in Sweden as well! Waiting is not our favorite part of this process.
The next expense is incurred when the breeder takes the male to have his semen collected and frozen. The cost can vary, of course, depending on the location. Our male was collected at the local university veterinary school. The fee we paid for collection, freezing and storage for a short time came to U.S. $750. Then you get everything in order for the shipping. Semen is gradually frozen in nitrogen vapor, then stored in liquid nitrogen, the method by which the fewest number of sperm are damaged or destroyed. Samples are also transported in nitrogen. After they are prepared for shipping, the semen straws or pellets are put into an aluminum, vacuum-sealed tank that contains, or is "charged with," nitrogen. After being sealed, the tank is placed in a larger shipping container.
If thawed, frozen semen only remains viable for a short period of time, so it is important to transport the tank as quickly as possible. We used FedEx for our delivery, which I believe is quite common, and it went directly to Sanford Animal Hospital in Sanford, N.C., where the semen will be stored until we're ready to use it. The FedEx charge was a whopping $820. Don't forget that I said you must be very certain that you want to have the dog in question in your breeding program! We also incurred a $110 administration fee from the university, but considering that they did 100 percent of the work arranging for the packing and transport of the tank, that seemed fair.These containers are quite expensive to buy, so you are essentially renting the one that delivers your samples, and it must be returned. It cost $370 to use the tank.
Regarding where you will store your sample, the AKC website advises that "The collector/storer must be on record with the AKC as familiar with and complying with the AKC regulations for record keeping and identification of dogs."
If you know others who want to import semen from the same country, you can dramatically reduce your costs by having them share the tank and shipping expenses with you. A tank the size that we used can carry four or five times the number of straws we had shipped. We didn't know of anyone at the time who wanted semen from Sweden, and assuming the dogs to be collected were owned by different people, coordinating with breeders to have their collections done at the same facility would be added work, but it is something to consider. I know a breeder who brought semen in from five different dogs in Scandinavia in one tank.
We were informed of its departure the day our tank left Sweden, and it arrived safely at Sanford three days later. But getting the semen here is just half the battle. Making sure all of the related paperwork is in order is of the utmost importance, or the time and money you've invested may be for naught.
The Importance of Paperwork
In order to register with AKC the puppies that result from using the semen you imported, you need several certificates, letters and other bits of paperwork.
The first thing you must have is a letter from the owner of the dog stating that he or she transfers ownership of the semen to you. When the time comes to register the litter resulting from the frozen semen, you need to be able to sign the AKC registration paper as the owner of the semen.
Then you must have from the registry in the sire's country of birth – in our case, the Swedish Kennel Club – a three-generation certified pedigree, and it must bear the raised seal of the registry. This pedigree will be submitted to AKC with the application to register the litter.
Once you've decided to go ahead with importing the semen, you must order a DNA kit from AKC, which you can have sent directly to the stud dog's owner. The owner will then do the cheek swab and return it in the pre-addressed envelope included in the kit. It is your responsibility to be in touch with the AKC DNA Operations and Customer Registration Support Department so that you can be sure that the DNA sample arrives and is processed.
You don't need to have a copy of the DNA profile yourself – that will be sent to the owner – but when you use imported frozen semen, the sire has to have DNA on file with the AKC in order for his puppies to be registered. We wanted to be sure to have our dog's DNA profile number to keep in our files, since we aren't using the semen right away.
Once the DNA sample is processed and on file at AKC, it will provide the dog with an AKC registration number, which you'll use to register your litter.
If, like us, you are planning to use the semen at a later date, I consider it imperative that you get the DNA sample and all of your paperwork in order at the outset. There is, unfortunately, no guarantee that the dog in question will still be living when you finally decide to use the semen. Getting all of the documentation you need from the foreign owner or owners and kennel club might be more difficult if you wait.
You can find out more about AKC's requirements for using frozen semen and a foreign sire, as well as litter applications for same, here.
We've had our samples stored for several months now, and every time I think about it, I become anxious for the day we'll have puppies from them. While we were getting the semen transported and all of the paperwork in order, there were times when I worried that we were just asking too much from the lovely lady who bred the dog and handled all the arrangements for us. But I know that she will be as pleased as we will when we have her dog's puppies in the ring in the U.S. How fortunate we are to be able to breed to this wonderful little dog that lives halfway across the world!

Las Vegas to Survive on East Nevada's Groundwater
Nevada authorities have approved a controversial plan to pump groundwater from the state's east 300 miles to Las Vegas.
Building on a network of pipelines and pumping stations striking out from Las Vegas to four valleys in eastern Nevada could start in two years. Approval from the federal Bureau of Land Management remains to be given for the pipeline route.
One of the beneficiaries of the project would be a new, golf course based city in Coyote Spring Valley in the Mojave Desert in southern Nevada.
Drought conditions on Lake Mead, where Las Vegas currently gets almost all its drinking water, and decisions by elected officials on the authority board will decide the timing, John Entsminger, of the Southern Nevada Water Authority told Deseret News.
"Not having water to supply 2 million people [in Vegas] is not an option," Entsminger said. "This project is fundamental to the survival of this community. We have to have options available to secure the water supply under any scenario."
Cost is estimated at $3 billion to $15 billion.
Nevada has promised to "go slow," taking a "cautious approach to ensure there are no adverse environmental effects." However, a editorial in the Salt Lake Tribune described the scheme as "folly" and warned that:
The trouble with this approach is that, unlike surface water in a river, the effects of underground pumping often are not immediately seen. Plants could die off only slowly. Once the damage is apparent, however, it may be irreversible, and the political pressure to keep pumping water south, particularly after Las Vegas had invested billions in the pipeline project, would be enormous. The complaints of a few ranchers in Nevada and the people of Utah would not count for much.
By the time experts figure out that an environmental catastrophe may be in the making, it could be too late to stop it.
According to The Great Basin Water Network, studies have shown that the Las Vegas area could generate half the water planned to be pumped by more rigorous water conservation.
Cattle ranchers, Native American tribes, and Mormon enterprises in the valleys say that pumping the groundwater on such a scale could result in the water table dropping 75 feet and turn the region into a dustbowl.
Rancher Hank Vogler told the Las Vegas Review Journal that no amount of safeguards can protect rural Nevada once the pipeline is built and the water starts flowing south.
"I don't think there's anyone with a big enough checkbook to stop it then. No one is going to have the appetite to say, 'Oh, shucks, we made a $15 billion mistake. Let's shut it down.' "
If anything, Vogler said, the authority's pipeline network will only spread to other parts of the state as more water is needed to feed the growth that many expect to return to Las Vegas.
"I'm what I've been calling myself all along: nothing more than collateral damage," he said.

Looper is not animated, so who knows why they made this trailer? Looks cool though.
It's hard to talk about Looper without spoiling it, so I'll just say it's a smart and fun sci-fi action movie that you should see in theaters. It has some problems, but the tight storytelling, great characters, and interesting world more than make up for any issues I had.
Will you see Looper this weekend? Tell us what you think!
This new trailer shows more of the future. Well, the future of the future... that most of the film takes place... this trailer has some new footage in it!

Media organizations have asked a federal judge to approve televising and webcasting the closing arguments in the historic trial involving a legal challenge to California's ban on same-sex marriages.
In a letter filed Tuesday, media groups urged Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker to allow televising of the proceedings, tentatively scheduled for June 16. The closing arguments are the final stage in the trial before Walker rules on the constitutionality of Proposition 8, which voters approved to forbid same-sex couples from marrying.
Walker previously approved court-operated cameras to put the three-week trial on YouTube, but the U.S. Supreme Court intervened in January and put a halt to the experiment at the request of Proposition 8 defenders. The Supreme Court concluded that Walker did not follow proper federal court rules and that the webcast could place an undue burden on Proposition 8 defense witnesses worried about intimidation.
In the letter, media lawyers argued that the local federal court has now properly established rules for televising federal court proceedings, and that concerns about witnesses are no longer relevant for closing arguments conducted by the lawyers.
Same-sex couples have sued to overturn Proposition 8, arguing that it violates the equal protection rights of California gay and lesbian couples. The trial marked the first time the issue has been aired in the federal courts, and is considered a possible prelude to Supreme Court review.

A row has broken out over plans to build six houses on a rural chair manufacturing site.
Bosses at The Odd Chair Company, which produces hand crafted, bespoke products, said the family firm has outgrown its base at Eaves Cottage Farm, Eaves Lane,Woodplumpton, and they were looking for premises on Redscar industrial estate.
They hope to get permission to turn their current site – a former farm – into a housing development, and say were taken aback by the "hostile" reaction of a neighbour.
Woodplumpton Parish Council's clerk said its members were likely to object to the plan.
Gina Watters, who lives in a Grade II listed old farmhouse next to the proposed development site, said news of the application was a "bombshell."
She said: "We purchased the house from Mr and Mrs Cook in 2002, under the assurance that Eaves Cottage Farm was a finished development and that the idyllic location and surroundings would remain unchanged, and it is now under the hideous prospect of being overlooked by an estate of five-bedroomed detached houses."
Julie Buttle, clerk of Woodplumpton Parish Council, said the issue would be discussed at a meeting on April 28.
She said: "The main issue here is that it would fall outside the development area identified in the core strategy.
"Woodplumpton is already going getting 5,000 new houses, and for this to extend into a rural village is wrong."
Applicant Sue Cook said she had been transparent with neighbours and the parish council about the plans and hoped to open a dialogue with Mr and Mrs Watters.
She said: "I'd like to invite them to come to our house and discuss the matter properly, because we're staying here and we don't want to do anything to harm the local area."

Heather Rowe and Kevin Zucker: SD Studio Dynamics 57UMSTRA1 "Strata #1," Unmounted, 5X7
Exhibition and Program:
SD Studio Dynamics 57UMSTRA1 "Strata #1," Unmounted, 5x7 takes its name from a black-and-white starburst effect studio backdrop incorporated into a site-specific series of three freestanding wooden shelving structures. Serving as the primary focus of the installation, the shelving apparatus is replete with angled panels, cut-glass mirrored panes, and fragmented sheer black scrim that absorb, reflect, and refract a series of theatrical lighting effects replicating the studio backdrop.
Additionally, elements from the original 1927 Loew's Canal Theater's archival architectural renderings are incorporated into the installation. Situated directly across the street from Forever & Today, Inc., the elaborate Spanish Baroque façade of this once grand movie palace, shuttered since the late-1970s, merely hints at its original interior grandeur.
Rowe and Zucker's installation may be seen as a fantasy reconstruction (based on publicly available information) of the presently closed and inaccessible theater that simultaneously references its history and current status as a storage space. The dramatic lighting, predominantly black-and-white palette, and sense of fragmentation, reinforces the artists' aesthetic homage to early film and to the ways in which architecture and movies are experienced.
These cinematic effects are deployed back on themselves in a self-reflexive manner, creating a melodramatic situation whose subject becomes the mechanisms of its own presentation. This reflects both artists' longstanding interest in the operations of special effects and the tension between pictorial illusion and physical space. Rowe's sculpture often combines references from films with architectural details and Zucker's work has explored, primarily through painting, imagery related to the archiving, storage, and display of curated material, frequently including visual resources from research projects.
Heather Rowe (b. 1970, New Haven, CT) lives and works in New York and received her MFA in 2001 from Columbia University, School of the Arts. Recent and upcoming solo projects include commissions for the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indianapolis, Indiana (2010); UMMA/University of Michigan Museum of Art, Ann Arbor, Michigan (2010); and In the Public Realm, Public Art Fund, New York (2010). In 2008 her work was featured in the Whitney Biennial and has been included in exhibitions at: MoMA PS1, Long Island City (2009); Art in General, New York (2007); Whitney Museum of American Art at Altria, New York (2007); Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, Ohio (2006), and White Columns, New York (2006). Rowe is represented by and has presented one-person exhibitions at D'Amelio Terras, New York (2006, 2007) and Galerie Zink, Munich/Berlin (2009). Her work has been written about in numerous international publications such as Artforum, Art in America, Art Monthly, ArtNews, ArtReview, Flash Art, Modern Painters, The Nation, The New Yorker, The New York Times, and Time.

Graphics and Decals Supra 21V
2 Attachment(s)
Hello Everyone,
I am a new member to the V-drive world. Recently purchased a 2006 Supra 21V. From all the good feedback I am hoping to have a great boat.
I am looking for some feedback and possible suggestions on making my 21V look a little more modern. I have looked alittle but doing a whole wrap is out of my budget.
Has anyone got some suggestions for a nice decal design?
Any input is really appreciated.
Thank you!!
I'm not sure how you would go about getting them, but i have seen people put the new 3D SUPRA letters on older models. I think that would look sweet
Waterskis.com has the Chrome decals.
Yea the chrome is a timeless look and cant go wrong there. The mat black would be a sleeper too and a little less
No Flames- Sleeper- ages much better. and very sleek.
Flames were definately not my style!
Kinda like the idea of Matte Black. So just to confirm you think with polished black hull just get matte black SUPRA inbetween the burgandy red?
Matte Black would look good on the gloss black
1 Attachment(s)
Here's what I went with, what you think?
Nice. Congrats. I would just go with the block 3d SUPRA decals that are on the new ones. It is a nice simple graphic and should modernize it. You can get the blacked out ones or chrome finish.

Chapter 2 : Memorial Service
|Rating: Mature
|Chapter Reviews: 2
Background: Font color:
Around ten o�clock Harry woke to find himself beneath both Ginny and Teddy. He gazed out of the window to see that the sun was shining brightly and the sky was a dazzling blue. He shook Ginny awake, knowing that the memorial service was at twelve and they both could not cope without breakfast. Teddy was also wide-awake and started to cry. After Ginny got up she passed him to Harry and ran to get changed. Harry realised he needed to get Teddy some food so he called for Kreacher, the house elf, and asked him to fetch him some and deliver it to the Great Hall. He rocked Teddy and he stopped crying after a few minutes.
Ginny came down and they made their way to the Great Hall. As Harry walked in with Teddy in his arms Molly came rushing up to him and started fussing over Teddy. Although Harry loved Mrs. Weasley he wanted to keep Teddy and be the one to feed him. Ginny noticed this and gave her mother a stern look, telling her to back off. Harry looked at Ginny and mouthed a silent thank you. Harry sat on the end of the bench with Ginny at his side and fed Teddy the food that Kreacher had left. After Teddy ate he drifted back to sleep in Harry�s arms. Although this was a very sweet moment Harry had to eat so offered Molly to take him or put him in the cot. Molly was honoured and held him with care while Harry and Ginny ate their breakfast.
Harry was rather nervous about the memorial service and was worried about his speech. Hermione could sense his frustration and pulled him out of the Great Hall to talk. She told him that if he didn�t want to make a speech then it was fine but if he wanted to do it he would be able to say the right thing at the right time. Although Hermione had only reconfirmed what Ginny had told him, he felt a bit better and returned to the hall to pick up Teddy and go and get cleaned up for the service. Ginny grabbed his hand and the three of them left to go to the common room.
Harry got changed while Ginny sat on his bed with Teddy. Harry transfigured a cot and placed Teddy in it making sure he was sound asleep before he moved. He then came around the bed and slipped his arms around Ginny.
�I�ve missed this,� he said. He kissed her lightly on the lips to be pulled down by Ginny tugging on his shirt. He deepened the kiss and was lying on top of Ginny. His hand crept up Ginny�s shirt and a moan escaped from Ginny�s lips. They carried on kissing each other and were only hindered by Ron entering. The drapes were drawn around Harry�s bed and neither of them heard Ron come into the room so they carried on. Ron ripped the drapes open, feeling rather awkward, but aware he had to alert them to his presence. Harry rolled off Ginny, turning a nice shade of beet red. Ron left quickly not saying a word. Harry was extremely embarrassed, Ginny more angry they were interrupted. She moved to kiss Harry but Harry was holding back.
�Gin, I should go find Ron and talk to him.�
�Why Harry? That ignoramus brother of mine knows we�re together he just needs to get over himself.�
�Gin, he is my best mate. I don�t want to upset him.�
�Harry, Please quit trying to please everyone and kiss me.�
Harry bent down and kissed Ginny lightly. She pulled him closer to deepen the kiss but Harry pulled away and started laughing.
�You�re just as stubborn as your brother, you know that don�t you?�
�Shut up. You get a better deal from me.� She smacked him lightly on the arm as he pulled her up from the bed.
They were both pulled back into reality when they cast a look down to Teddy�s cot. Harry picked Teddy up and grabbed Ginny�s hand to leave the dormitory.
As they reached the main corridor people were spilling outside for the memorial service. Harry pushed through the crowd to reach the front row and to gain a seat next to Hagrid and Ginny. Silence blanketed the Hogwarts grounds once everyone had taken their seats. The Minister looked at Harry and made for the side of the stage. Harry rose, passing Teddy to Ginny, stepped onto the stage. Harry looked out at everyone from the stage and was suddenly filled with fear. There must have been thousands of people there for the memorial service. He realised that so many students went to Hogwarts and many of them were either lost in the war or took part in it. With all their families it amounted to a rather large crowd.
Harry was nervous and looked at Ginny to find the calmness that she had enveloped him in for the past five days. He stared into her eyes and felt a wave of calm suddenly washed over him.
He lifted his head to the crowd and began, �I know many of you weren�t expecting this, the Final Battle, Voldemort being here and many of our friends and family sacrificing themselves for our cause. I may have been confronted with Voldemort my whole life, but I would have never got through this without everyone�s help. I don�t want to be thanked for defeating Voldemort, as it was a joint effort from all of you. If I hadn�t seen Ginny before reaching the forest my heart wouldn�t have been so full of love to let Voldemort cast the killing curse on me the second time and for me not to die. I don�t want this battle to be about me and about everyone being overjoyed. For the past five days I have not celebrated for a single second. I do not begrudge you your celebrations but we all need to pay respect to whom we have lost.�
Harry coughed, letting tears fall from his saturated eyes and carried on.
�Nobody knew everyone died that night. We all have our separate grieving to do but I do have to say I lost three extremely dear friends that night. Fred was like a brother to me, and Remus and Tonks showed me a view into my parents� lives. Although this has left me bereft of the link I had with my parents I have now gained a son, Teddy and I will do my best to remind him of his parentage every day. I am sorry this heartache will affect everyone and if I can do anything to help please just ask. Hopefully now we can all settle down into a peaceful life.�
Harry stepped down off the stage, plucked Teddy of Ginny�s lap and pulled the three of them out of the marquee that had been erected. Harry didn�t really know where he was going but Ginny took them back to Harry�s dorm.
They both sat down on Harry�s bed when Harry said � I wonder if McGonagall will let me come back next year, to do my NEWTs. I am sure Ron and Hermione will want to do them as well.�
�Harry please ask, I don�t think I will cope if I don�t see you every day.�
�I will go and ask her now. Do you want to come with Teddy or stay here with him?�
�You go, we could both do with some sleep so I might catch up on some.�
Harry left to go and find McGonagall.

Judge Me If You Must, But Check Your Imperfections At The Door First
We just moved over 1000 miles from home. So I have no sitters, there are no drop in daycare centers, DH works from pretty early in the AM til the evening, I have no family nearby to help me. My oldest DS is 12. He is amazing with his baby sister, very protective.
Last week we went to town (25 mile drive one way) to run errands. DD fell asleep (she is 2.5). I had one last errand to run that I couldn't just do the next day, or later in the afternoon, since the drive is so long. We are in temp housing til our house sells so it isn't exactly ideal. I had planned to go to Target. We needed laundry detergent, and some more laundry baskets. We were completely out, and the mountain was growing. DH was going to be working late.
My DD is a temper tantrum thrower, my boys (both much older than her) never threw tantrums. She ALWAYS throws tantrums in the store. It's inevitable. But to wake her and take her into a store? Well you may as well start world war 3. So I found the nearest Dollar Store. Pulled into a parking space at the very front, told DS to text me from his phone if need be, locked the doors, air on, windows up, emergency brake on, DS sitting in the front seat so it didn't look like an empty car just sitting there running. I ran inside, bee lined for the laundry aisle, got what I needed and got in line and waited. I could see my car and children clearly from where I was. All was good. Not even 5 minutes had passed.
Enter Crazy Lady... This very loud lady with her child (he appeared to be about 8) comes barreling in the store. She is screaming at the top of her lungs "OH MY GOD SOMEONE LEFT THEIR SMALL KIDS ALONE IN A CAR OUT THERE. WHOSE CAR IS THAT??????? THERE IS A BABY ALONE IN THAT CAR, THERE ARE CHILDREN LOCKED IN THAT HOT CAR" She continues, and it took me a minute to realize that she was talking about me, because 1) I have a 35" tall toddler, and a 12 year old. 2) The car was running and the air was on and 3) well I don't consider 12 being small.
I tried to assure her that my DS was nearly a teenager and quite capable of keeping his sleeping sister for a few moments and she just became louder and more irate. She called me a liar and a negligent mother.
Now... According to the American Red Cross. children as young as 11 can become certified babysitters. There is a program in the town we live in for "junior life guarders" and it starts at 11 yrs old. At church children the age of 12 can volunteer in the nursery.
I wasn't in Wal-Mart, Target or a bar. I wasn't goofing off. I was in and out in less than 10 minutes (which would have been less had she not caused the entire store to freak out and stop working for a few minutes.)
She ended up calling the cops, I told her to write down my tag number as I pulled out and they could come to my house and question me, but I wouldn't allow her to upset my kids. Since clearly she didn't care if she was upsetting her own child, why would she care if she upset mine?
I got to my car, DD was still snoozing, DS unlocked the door, crawled in the back, buckled up and not a word was mentioned. I gave him some cookies that I had snagged at the front for being such a responsible helper with his sister, and I never heard another word about it.
So.... Has your older DS or DD watched your youngers for you? Did this lady over react? Or am I truly negligent and just don't realze it?
I think leaving the 12 year old with the baby for 3 minutes with the car running is fine. Had you left a 5 year old and a 2 year old alone in the car, I would call you negligent...But 12 year olds can legally stay home alone in most states.
Quoting -_-:
I wouldn't have my kids stay in the car when I'm going into a big store. It's not just about how responsible the older is with the younger... people are crazy. Not a risk I would take.
Quoting dalbax2:
She over reacted in my opinion. I would have told her to F*** off.
if he can be at home alone with her while you go to the store, IDK why being in the car is worse. If it wasn't too hot, that is...
my children are almost 3 and 17 months so they are always with me even if I can see the car, I dont take a chance. BUT when I was younger my mom would leave me in the car as young as 10. I dont see a problem if he is mature enough and the doors were locked etc.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is one of ten personality disorders; part of what is referred to as a Cluster A Personality Disorder. A Personality Disorder is not the same as normal personality theory in that with a disorder it is assumed that the person's life is negatively affected. The development of BPD is caused by: 1) Intrusive Experiences (recurrent, active injury like being beat up or sexually molested) and 2) Traumatic Neglect (the absence of holding, loving, and touching as a child). There are several subtypes of Borderline Personality Disorder found in people who have BPD. They are identified as Schizotypal; Affective Instability; Rejection Sensitivity; and Angry/Impulsive. While some symptoms may be shared with other disorders, it is imperative that a diagnosis is made by an experienced and licensed professional, since the wrong treatment can be harmful.

Really? Nice. Congrats. By the way, has any of your works been published yet?6/10/2007 #3
One short story have been, but I've never actually seen the book it was published in so I can only presume something went wrong and the editor just never told me. But it wasn't very good anyway. I've never completely gotten through the editing phase to a degree that was satisfactory to really push to publish any of my novels so far. This might be the first that I actually think doesn't suck enough to finish editing.6/10/2007 #4
[q]but I've never actually seen the book it was published in[/q] Meaning, you couldn't locate the book? [q]But it wasn't very good anyway.[/q] I'm sure you're just being modest. [q]This might be the first that I actually think doesn't suck enough to finish editing.[/q] Yea. This calls for more rum and vodka!6/10/2007 #5
Nah, the project called for using his characters and universe. While sort of cute at the time, I now vaguely object to the amount of personification he gave "Dark Matter". In his universe, it was basically the main character, and was capable of all sorts of wonderful feats. Alas.6/13/2007 #6

The purpose of ACCUPLACER tests is to provide you with useful information about your academic skills in math, English, and reading. The results of the assessment are used to determine your course selection.
You can not "pass" or "fail" the placement tests, but it is very important that you do your very best on these tests so that you will have an accurate measure of your academic skills.
To ensure that test scores accurately represent your skill levels, you may wish to review basic concepts in reading, grammar, arithmetic, trigonometry, and algebra before taking ACCUPLACER, especially if you have been away from school for some time. The following link will lead you to Preparation and Sample Questions.
You can print out the results as soon as you complete the tests. The results will be loaded into the University student records system in about 1-2 work days during the registration period.
The essay form placement test is designed by Metropolitan State University faculty for students having extraordinary writing skills to test out of Writing I and start directly with Writing II.
However, it can not be used to test out of the Goal I requirement in writing. See specifics in essay evaluation.
Note: If you want to, or if your academic advisor suggests you take the essay test, please say so when you sign up.
It takes about 2-3 weeks to get the essay results because essay copies are mailed to external consultants for evaluation.

Pricing for that system was very reasonable, with the base unit set at $350. A more upscale version could be had for $440 that added a MCE remote controller and WiFi 802.11n. Meanwhile, the most complete package included a Blu-ray drive for $580, a bit on the steep side for a nettop but not to an extreme given the features on offer. The Ion 330HT's hardware specs mirrored those of a powerful netbook and while the box performed up to expectations, it was considered to be light on horsepower by some. On the next evolution of the Mini PC, Asrock dropped the netbook guts in favor of more capable notebook hardware.
By utilizing a motherboard with the mobile Intel HM55 chipset, the Asrock Core 100HT series could be equipped with any Intel Core i3/i5/i7 (Arrandale) mobile processor, which opened the bite-sized computer to more usage scenarios.
The Core 100HT's Core i3 330M is a powerhouse when put besides the Ion 330's Atom processor, while on the graphics front the Intel GMA HD integrated chip is a less desirable choice, or at least it doesn't present a significant bump over what the previous flagship Asrock Mini PC offered.
Asrock went back to the drawing board and came up with the Vision 3D series. This HTPC goes beyond what we've seen in the past packing both a powerful Intel mobile processor and a mobile Nvidia GeForce graphics part. Basic specs also include 4GB of DDR3 memory, a Blu-ray drive, 7.1 audio output, a pair of USB 3.0 ports, Wi-Fi n, a 500GB hard drive and gigabit LAN.
The Vision 3D HTPC features the GeForce GT425M GPU which brings support for 3D Vision (stereoscopic gaming using shutter glasses) and 3DTV Play, letting you connect your HTPC to 3D HDTVs and play 3D Blu-ray movies and gaming content.

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4869 ------- Comment #27 from email@example.com 2008-02-26 20:54 ------- If direct element constructors are nested, then braces will not be generated. Otherwise, braces are generated. Yes that behaviour of the xqueryx stylesheet was added specifically because of this issue to avoid adding braces around nested constructors as the copy namespaces behaviour is different. see comment #3 what you observe is simply a bug in the translator that was used. I don't see any way to write these two constructors any differently to distinguish them. see comment #5 as corrected in comment #7 DavidReceived on Tuesday, 26 February 2008 20:54:30 UTC

Favorite Winter Comfort Foods?
Well, it's cold out there, and getting colder, and all I want to do is curl up on the couch with a movie and a big mug of tea and something hearty cooking on the stove or in the oven. I'm stuck in a rut, though -- lamb tagines, meatloaf and posole - and looking for some exciting new winter dishes.
What's your go-to winter dish -- the one you always crave in the long dark stretches of winter?

Bo Diddley Jr Launches Kickstarter project: "I Knew Diddley"
Gainesville FL The son of the legendary R&B guitarist Bo Diddley is writing a book about his childhood experiences, using a popular crowd funding website, Kickstarter.com and Facebook to tell the side of the story that has not yet been told.
The book will be entitled "I Knew Diddley" by Bo Diddley Jr., and is being written from the perspective of a young boy and his sister caught between two parents in the midst of a 10-year marital struggle, ending in divorce. "My father and mother have told me later in life…" Ellas said, "things that fill in the puzzle…all of the missing pieces are there, and now it is time for history to know the real Bo Diddley."
"It will be a story about Bo Diddley as a husband to my mother, and as a father to me and my sister." Ellas writes on his website, announcing the book as set in the context of Bo Diddley's fame and success. "The moral of the story will be to cherish your family and make them first in your life" he added.
Ellas is still engaged in legal battles concerning Bo's estate, and is asking fans of Bo to help him provide a perspective of Bo Diddley that only a son can provide -- by supporting this project at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bodiddleyjr/i-knew-diddley the true story of one of the most dynamic, talented, and charismatic musical geniuses the world has ever known.
Ellas lives in Bronson, Florida with his wife and pets. He periodically performs with other family members who all have musical abilities.
