Traffic briefly detoured on Pine Avenue following crash

OCALA – A two-vehicle crash briefly blocked traffic on a portion of North Pine Avenue at Northwest 28th Street on Thursday.
According to a witness, a white 1995 Dodge Avenger was heading west on Northwest 28th Street and a gray 1996 Buick Regal was traveling south on Pine Avenue in the outside lane. The witness said the Dodge ran the red light and collided with the Buick. The Buick crashed into an aluminum utility pole and knocked it down. The Buick wound up on its roof.
A woman driving the Dodge, and her 2-year-old son, who was in a car safety seat, as well as the man who was driving the Buick, were all taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to Ocala Police Department Lt. Scott Fosler.

AAO-BirdLife in Tunisia have started an e-petition to mobilise international support for new poaching threats to the remaining Houbara Bustard populations of Tunisia.
Following the recent political instability in Tunisia, environmental and developmental NGOs have received a number of alarming reports of aggressive attacks to staff, animals and plants at Protected Areas within the country. In the face of these threats, the NGOs met recently to unite in their action to tackle the plundering of their natural resources.

Marius was a Squib. We know that squibs can't do magic, and if child can't do magic at age 7, that means that child really is squib. So, he was probably disnowned from family at seven or even earlier. --Lord 10:29, 22 August 2009 (UTC)´
It´s a bit speculative, isn´t it?--Rodolphus 10:33, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, maybe is. But he was probably disnowned very young, and so, it's possible that he died young, alone in big Muggle world. --Lord 10:59, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
Look, I know that you loves Bellatrix. (My mum looks like her when she was younger!) I know that under picture of Elladora (that's my favourite female name from the tree, and because she was crazy and she don victory over stereotyp) is written just "Elladora". But I know this: under picture of Alexia is written "Alexia", then her dates, then the fisr name of her husband, and his surname "Walkin". I think that her full name was "Alexia Walkin nee Black". She was maybe an aunt of Cygnus and Arcturus I (my theory is that they wrere brothers). Look this, please: File:Blackfamilytreeootp1.jpg You can see Alexia Walkin and that under her picture is written many words, not just Alexia Walkin. Please, notice this. And, what you think: is my English good? I love English names, and do you know the etymology of name Cedrella? It's interesting that she and her sisters have got names on "C" (Callidora, Charis, Cedrella). Arcturus and Lysandra were probably good parents.--Lord 16:58, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
OK. Thanks for the explanation. I´m understanding it now.--Rodolphus 17:02, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
Can users upload an image of theyself?
(This question is stupid, but listen: On your user page I notice that your eyes are blue gey. What means "gey"? I know that this is kind a silly, but my question are sometimes strange (like Bellatrix Lestrange, and she was strange, I'm sorry). Did you means that you eyes are blue-gray or blue-gay (this one is really stupid, I know, but please answer to me, and you should know, I am just curious, like many people who cames from varios countries). Good luck!--Lord 17:22, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
It is a missspelling of "gray", right. I´ll correct it.--Rodolphus 17:26, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
Can I upload my image? It was vierd to me that eyes can be gey or gay (but if they are happy...). Good night! (in Croatia, my country, now is 20 hours and 10 minutes).
But that witch was very kind and she looks like someone who know Barty very well..--Lord
Look, we know that on one picture are decipted ancestors of the family. We know some of them: Alexia Walkin, Eduardus Limette, Phoebe and Mrs Blishwick. Only person who we don't know is this unknown Black. So, he is the only unknown Black, and so, article about him must be called "Unidentified Black" or "Unknown Black". If we founds out his name, then we will change article's name to, for example "James Black" ((I don't really think that his name was James, I think he had two names, as Alexia Walkin or Eduardus Limette, or Phineas Nigellus). --Lord 11:25, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
Muggle-born Death Eaters?
Where did JKR say that? I know she said in an interview that there were muggle-born Slytherins and half-blood Death Eaters, but since the Death Eaters were trying to wipe muggle-borns out, it doesn't seem likely that any of them would be muggle-born themselves. It'd be like a Jewish Nazi. - Nick O'Demus 15:48, September 12, 2009 (UTC)
- Alright then, as long as JKR says so. Also, I noticed you're a Bellatrix fan, so I thought this might interest you. - Nick O'Demus 16:14, September 12, 2009 (UTC)
DS Pictures
Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the game characters, because obtaining them would involve photographing my DS, which I don't think would turn out well due to the small screen. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 08:25, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
- Emulators are the only way to get digital screenshots of a game, but emulation is of questionable legal status, and doesn't always work. Using a camera to photograph the screen of a TV/DS/GBA/PSP/etc. while a game is playing on it is another option, but the resulting images may not be of the best quality, due to factors like ambient light (sunlight, lamps, etc.) reflecting off the screen's glass and the "glow" of backlighting used for LCD screens.
- In the HBP game for DS, when the characters speak, there aren't close-up portraits in their dialogue bubbles like in some other games. The game has a top-down view (here is an example) and there's only few times when it zooms in so that you can see a character's face. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 10:53, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
Hmmm, well, I don't know what gender was that person. Also, are you sure that skull is a person? Maybe is just a decorative motiv like mermaids under Mrs Blishwick. But, Regulus is a skull (on real tapestry, he is a wizard with hat), so, this skull is probably a person. I think he/she was a brother/sister of Eduardus, Alexia, Phoebe and the first Black.--Lord 19:14, October 13, 2009 (UTC)´
Didn´t the skull have a scroll? I don´t know the gender too, but if there was one, he/she must be a person.--Rodolphus 19:19, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
OK, but this person was decipted on the door. In the film, when Sirius closed the door, we don't see anything on the image, just a black door. So, I thinks - it's maybe possible that this skull is just a skull (but with name, maybe is on the scroll writen family moto) because this skull do not appears in the film. But, I think this is maybe really a person, so I will made an article about that person. Or maybe you?--Lord 19:26, October 13, 2009 (UTC)´
You can do it.--Rodolphus 19:31, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
The Wizengamot may be for Harry Potter Wikia discussions and not Harry Potter in general, but where are we supposed to ask questions about the series and dig deeper into it if there's no place for it? The Wizengamot has been used for any type of HP discussion since I've been a user so why should it change?Still Learning 14:06, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
To my knowledge, the Wizengamot is for discussing changes which affect more than one article. (e. g. changing infoboxes for multiple characters, identify unnamed film characters) and not for speculation. I cite the Wizengamot Main Page:
" The Wizengamot is a site-wide discussion area meant for topics concerning the Harry Potter Wiki. "--Rodolphus 14:21, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Where are we supposed to discuss Harry Potter in general if there is no place for that on the Harry Potter Wiki?Still Learning 20:29, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
Harry Potter Wiki is an encyclopedia. If my knowledge is right, you can discuss Harry Potter in every general HP forum like e. g. Mugglenet. To be sure, you could better ask one of our Admins. I´m not an expert on our policies, too.--Rodolphus 20:36, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
Also, why is there a discussion page tabbed to almost every article in this HP site? Aren't those for discussions on articles as far as editing and whatnot also? Why wouldn't the Wizengamot be an ok place to discuss HP in general?Still Learning 16:04, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I think you are referring to this interview when saying that Rowling stated all the portraits were of dead people. She actually doesn't say all the portraits are of deceased individuals, but all the portraits featured in the book series by Order of the Phoenix were of deceased people. I don't think that includes the films/games-only portraits, however, as they are not encountered on the series. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 15:08, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
You´re right. In my opinioon, we could at least write a Behind the Scenes section. Something like..
"Prtrait´s subject" may have died before ...., as JKR has stated that the Portraizs in the books depict dead people.
Or similar. --Rodolphus 15:23, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
- Sure. That's best to do that because Rowling's comment is ambiguous: she could have meant "all [portraits at Hogwarts]" or "all [portraits we've seen]". -- Seth Cooper owl post! 15:30, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
Hey Rodolphus, I added the Prewett family category to those Weasley family members because they're all technically part of the Prewett family. -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!!) 15:49, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
Tecniclly: But all pure-bloods are related. I understand your point, but then, every pure-blood could be sorted into every wizard family category. To my knowledge, the categories are for people who have this surname, not for their descendants who have other names.--Rodolphus 15:54, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
Hey Rodolphus, I added the Prewett family category to those Weasley, Potter, and Delacour family members because they're all technically part of the Prewett family. -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!!) 15:57, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
Black family
Do we have to by every person who is really related to the black family by the family of a person. Like this.
Ron weasley:
- Arthur weasley (father)
- molly weasley (mother)
- black family
--Station7 16:26, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
We aren´t talking abouot infoboxes, but about categories. In my opinion, only family members by birth and spouses should bw listed there. Not grandchildren with other names.--Rodolphus 16:34, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
No Rodolphus I was talking about infoboxes. And what do you think now about it?--Station7 17:01, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
We´´re talking at cross-purposes, now. I totally agree with the way how family members are listed in infoboxes. And as far as I can remember, your suggestion is okay per Policy.
- I only don´t agree that e. g. Harry should be listed in the Prewett family category cause he married a Prewett´s granddaughter. For the same reason, we could also sort e.. g. Hannah Abbott into the House of Black category, since she married a Black´s distant relative.--Rodolphus 17:16, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
I'm sorry I don't know about Weasley/Prewett. You was talking about that with Grounchman, but I don't know.--Station7 17:39, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
No problem.--Rodolphus 17:41, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
Is it good if I listed as House of Black in the infoboxes?--Station7 17:43, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
I´d say yws, but Cedrella, as a direct grandmother, should still be listed sperately.
Like this:
- Parents
- Grandparents
- link to family article.

yes, that's what I mean.--Station7 17:49, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

1) Blood Quill is like Cruciatus Curse. It inflicts dolor, pain, torture. It is a dark artifact that Umbridge used. 2) Umbridge was in the community of dark wizards. That is a sign. 3) The Ministry did not send Dementors. If anyone was able to conjure Dementors it was Lord Voldemort and everything that he did was Dark Magic. He became a creature of the Dark Arts. If Umbridge could do this ergo she is practising dark magic. 4) Etymology: Umbrage and Dolor. Umbridges character is not offense and torture! It is what she causes and alot of what she causes is through her magic.
However, noble editor, do read some of the Google debates because she is a pivotal character when it comes to debate because so much is concealed about her and it frustates fans like ourselves! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs).

It is believed that use of these screenshots qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law:
- When they are used to illustrate the object in question;
- Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information (almost all images from the movies fall under this).
- On the Harry Potter wiki, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikia.
So I guess there's no problem on doing so. Also, when uploading these, you should use any of the "Fair use" licensing. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 21:47, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

On what basis is that Travers? In the movie the actor playing him is just listed as playing a "death eater" on IMDb, not "death eater travers", just death eater. So unless someone, somewhere in that movie called him "Travers" by name or you are using some other site other than IMDb that credits him differently then just "death eater". I'd really like to know, because I don't recall hearing the name "travers" anywhere in those scenes in the movie, but maybe on another movie site he's credited differently, and if he is listed differently somewhere else, other lesser characters could be too, and I don't want to make another mistake in the future, where one movie site contradicts another one. --BachLynn23 13:27, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out the reference to Hooch's office. As to your request, I looked over the unidentified ghost articles you created, and did some tweaks here and there, mainly re-formatting the infoboxes and removing excess spaces between sections. However, I'm unsure exacly which recently-uploaded images you'd like me to look at, so could you please point me to them? Thanks! ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 03:40, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Lavender Brown's parents
Hi Rodolphus. I don't know if Lavender Brown's parents must have their own page here. Maybe we can add a "Behind the scenes" on Lavender's page and ask to Seth (who has created Barrufio's wife)
- "She got a letter from home this morning," Parvati whispered. "It's her rabbit, Binky. He's been killed by a fox."
- Elle a reçu une lettre de ses parents ce matin, murmura Parvati. Son lapin est mort, il a été tué par un renard.
Do you know if characters are present only in the german version too? -- Famini talk contribs 12:31, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
RE:Lavender Brown's parents
Sounds ok to me. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 18:29, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
RE:Dark Arts, Aurorora, Rolanda
It makes sense we have both a "Dark Arts" and a "Dark Arts (class)" article [i.e. "Potion" and "Potions (class)"]. As for Sinistra and Hooch being mentioned in the Order of the Phoenix game, I'm not so sure. Probably on one of those random snippets of conversation we can hear when we pass by other students. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 19:47, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
I agree Kendra's age from DH/f isn't contradicted by Rowling and is thus considered canon under this wiki's policy. I went ahead and edited Kendra's article to include her estimated year of birth. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 08:53, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
RE: Transfiguration
I suppose there might be some precedent with spells like Duro or Scribblifors, but personally I always considered those as somewhat generic Transfiguration, and "Inanimate-to-Inanimate" doesn't seem like the best description. You might ask Seth, maybe there's something from the trading card game that could be relevant. - Nick O'Demus 10:30, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
Hi Rodolphus! Sorry for taking so much time to reply, but as I'm sure you've noticed, I haven't been able to log in as often as I would like (loads of tests at school/avoiding to get spoiled for Deathly Hallows Part 1). As for the unidentified resting Headmaster, I am pretty sure I saw someone on the Headmaster portraits that resembles that description; I'll try to upload a picture before the week is out. "Inanimate-to-Inanimate" doesn't sound that well to me... I don't recall anything relevant from the Trading Card Games, so I would consider those spells simply as "Transfiguration". -- Seth Cooper owl post! 23:00, November 15, 2010 (UTC)

"Not everyone" is true key word "possibly" , but still im trying to add more to that section of the article. you people keep on saying that his name wasn't on the list of casualties so it is "possible" that he survived the second wizarding war. If his name wasn't on the list of casualties, then that means he absolutely survived the second wizarding war. so stop syaing that.

RE: Charity and Severus
Okay, make sure you include a reference to the foreign translation then. In the English version, she just says "Severus, please... please..." - Nick O'Demus 16:03, November 25, 2010 (UTC)
Re: Cormac
- I agree that we should create an article on the McLaggen family now there's two known members. Tiberius is only stated to have been Cormac's uncle in HBP7, which doesn't necessarily mean he was a McLaggen.
- It's possible that a Muggle-born could have a magical uncle/aunt, through marriage or more than one spontaneous magical birth occurring in the same Muggle line (if Dudley had been born a wizard, it'd make him a Muggle-born with a Muggle-born aunt), but, like you said, Cormac couldn't have attended Hogwarts during the 1997-1998 year if he hadn't been at least partially of magical heritage. Also, in DHP1, when Cormac warns the Death Eaters he's going to tell his father about them stopping and boarding the train, the implication is that his father is someone of status in the wizarding world.
- This is the one suggestion about which I have reservations. The movies have altered character ages several times, notably with Katie Bell, who was presented as being in Harry's year in HBP. Repeating a year seems rare, so, without further evidence, I'd suggest we defer to the books on how long Cormac attended Hogwarts. I suppose that would render Cormac's scene in DHP1 non-canon, unless we assumed he was going there to do a job, but I seem to remember him wearing a uniform. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 06:07, November 26, 2010 (UTC)
Tom Riddle
An alias is another name given to someone. He was called Tom by Dumbledore instead of Voldemort.
If you're saying that Tom isn't an alias and it's just his first name. Then shouldn't Thomas Marvolo Riddle Jr. also be removed from aliases as that's his full name. AznPride112 05:41, December 31, 2010 (UTC)
Narcissa Malfoy's infobox
I'm not sure that Narcissa Malfoy deserves a Dark wizard individual infobox as I don't believe she can truthfully be called a dark witch. It says on her page itself that JKR has stated that she was not a Death Eater but simply agreed with the philosophy of pure blood. I agree that a Slytherin infobox is not wholly appropriate either, but I think it more suitable. Thanks, WitBeyondMeasure.
RE:Professors' houses
I don't know, I find that reasoning a bit... far-fetched. I don't think Rowling's answer had any implication at all about Sinistra's house. The interviewer asked "Is Sinstra the Head of Ravenclaw?" and Rowling answered "No." If you think about it, the answer would have been the same if someone asked whether Professor Snape was Head of Ravenclaw. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 21:08, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
Dolores Umbridge
Hi, Rodolphus. I was just experimenting with the houses for Umbridge, but my edit on her current hair color is true. As some last chapter in the HBP book, It says that her hair color turned out to be ironish gray somewhere in the book. 184.108.40.206 10:30, January 8, 2011 (UTC)
Why do you keep changing the Wiki with your roleplay shit? There are and were never girls on the SLYTHERIN Quidditch team it was said a few times by Rowling so could you please just leave the facts?
So dumm kann man doch nicht sein oder? Bitte lass hier nur FAKTEN und heor auf den Fanfic Mist hier rein zu bringen. Das ist Wiki fuer Potter fans nicht fanfics!
FAKTEN FAKTEN FAKTEN kein MUELL! Keine Weiber im Slytherin Quidditch team das ist nun mal fakt alle anderen haben Frauen!
you do know that it is illegal to create characters and put false information on here right? So please if you want your roleplay and fanfic stuff make your own Wiki and leave this one correct for the fans. Thank you
I told the user that if he had a source he could provide saying that JKR specifically said that there was NEVER in the history of Quidditch at Hogwarts a female slytherin team member then to provide it but that The Exhibition is a valid canon source as long as it didn't contradict higher canon. --BachLynn(Accio!) 14:13, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
Thanks! I love creating them, I had a list written down of ideas, but I lost it a couple of days ago, so would LOVE some suggestions/ideas! I was debating doing something with Quidditch positions, and with prefects, head boys/girls, etc, but wasn't sure. BachLynn(Accio!) 15:55, January 23, 2011 (UTC)
So, I've completed all of your suggestions, I'm still debating how to structure the one for Quidditch positions and the one for headboys/prefects. I was thinking with Quidditch positions I'd do one for HOgwarts teams, and one for the other teams, keep them separate. I was also thinking after having done a Daily Prophet template that maybe I'd do a Saint Mungo's. --BachLynn(Accio!) 18:59, January 24, 2011 (UTC)
With the Quidditch ones, I was thinking, I don't want the templates to be too long, so I was thinking I would just stick to positions, and not include specific teams:
- Seekers
- Names
- Captains
- Names
- Etc etc etc
What do you think? --BachLynn(Accio!) 19:10, January 24, 2011 (UTC)
Yea, on one hand I would love to be as detailed as possible, but on the other hand I sort of look at the templates as a sort of rough guide that connects articles with common similarities, but that the real detailed information remains within the articles themselves. --BachLynn(Accio!) 19:21, January 24, 2011 (UTC)
RE:Classrooms and dormitories, again.
Sorry, I must've missed your previous message.
- "Should we create an article for the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw dormitories?": we should, as they are included in Lego Harry Potter.
- "What do you think about adding an image of the Lego Ravenclaw door knocker until the last film is released?": as the only available image, we definitely should do so (I've taken the liberty of uploading an image, feel free to use it in the article).
- "And noticed that nummerous classroom articles (fifth floor classrom, classrooms 7B,7C,6A,1A,1C,1D,1E) currently don´´t have images.": I'll try to see if there's any walkthroughs on Youtube that feature these classrooms. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 00:27, January 29, 2011 (UTC)
RE: Classrooms
Hi. To answer your question, yes, I do play the GBC games. Currently I am playing through Philosopher's Stone, and I plan on going through Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban afterwards. As for there being classrooms without articles, I'll explore a bit and see what I can find. I will create articles for classrooms I find that don't have an article. I'll let you know if I find anything. --Texthawm (Owl Me) 15:57, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll try to create some articles on those in the near future (I'm not sure if I can make it this week; I'm pratically swimming in tests)! :) Could you try to upload some images of them for me? (By the way: there already is an article for the Hufflepuff still-life painting.) -- Seth Cooper owl post! 15:41, May 23, 2011 (UTC)
RE:Seamus Finnegan
I'd say no. For one, there are at least to more students in the game with the same image (during the Sorting ceremony, there is one at the Slytherin table and another at the Hufflepuff table). Also, it that was Seamus, that would make the video game's "Dean" a stocky, blonde and white man. I say we should err on the side of caution and not create the article unless more evidence can be gleamed from the game. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 23:03, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
Thank you so much! Those are the articles I like most to rewrite: biographies of secondary characters (i.e. Pius Thicknesse, Pomona Sprout, Irma Pince, etc.). In answer to your question, yes, I plan to rewrite Helena Ravenclaw sometime prior to the release of Deathly Hallows: Part 2. I will perhaps work on other characters after that. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 16:14, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
- Just finished rewriting Helena Ravenclaw. What do you think? -- Seth Cooper owl post! 23:48, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
- I'd say no. It's not a great quality pic, and she has not a very "neutral" expression. Besides, there's no other picture of her we could put under the "1997—1998 school year" section. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 14:13, July 10, 2011 (UTC)
Sirius and Draco Family Information
Draco and Sirius are not "first cousins once removed"?
I added it to Sirius page and was about to put on draco's when I saw you had undo those changes.
Narcissa is cousin of Sirius and Draco, as her son, is Sirius first cousin once removed (a difference of one generation).
Am I right or wrong?
Thanks =)
ohh, I didn't know only first cousins were allowed in the list. but it makes the list simpler (who wants to know more about the family infos can ask or "do the math")
Nymphadora Tonks for example has Sirius and Regulus in the list. And to her they are first cousins once removed. But now that I know that I will fix it.
Thanks =)
RE:Founders' wands
Those articles were complete rubbish (saying that 'Founder X presumably had a wand' and very poorly spelt). If Helga's wand does appear in her card, an article would be acceptable, though. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 19:30, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
Great Hall staircase
Why have you put the non-canon box back at the top of this page? The staircase is canon, there is nothing in the books or said by JKR to say that there is no staircase behind the staff table.--Jpkilleen 18:04, July 17, 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, there isn't a staircase leading down to the trophy room, but the staircase is there, even if in the books the trophy room isn't.--Jpkilleen 18:14, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

We could really use your input. Thanks, Nick O'Demus 08:03, August 8, 2011 (UTC)
Where have you read that McGonnagal is a "Hat-stall" and that she could've been in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor? Because I'm sure that I've read that exact piece of information about Hermoine Granger in the Order of the Phoenix. Can you please site the source?
Gryffindor Witch 13:13, August 9, 2011 (UTC)
That is interesting. Do you think it should also be in Hermoine's profile as well? In the Order of the Phoenix, She tells other students that the hat almost put her in Ravenclaw, but she chose Gryffindor instead. Would that qualify as a Hat Stall? Also, wouldn't Harry also be a hat-stall since he was almost put in slytherin, but he chose Gryffindor as well?
Article Gary Thomas
Hi, ich habe gesehen, dass Du den Artikel Gary Thomas zum Artikel Dean Thomas umgeleitet hast und habe mich gefragt, warum? Hast Du irgendwelche Informationen, dass Gary Thomas ein Vorläufer-Name von Dean Thomas gewesen ist? Ich habe nämlich nichts dergleichen gefunden. Harry granger 20:09, August 18, 2011 (UTC)

RE:Lego Harry
Thanks! I've finished Deathly Hallows: Part 1, and I'm going to start Part 2 either today or tomorrow. As for Hestia Jones, I'm not sure. She isn't on the Advance Guard scene, nor on the Dursleys Departing cutscene, that I remember. Of course, just like Dedalus Diggle and Charity Burbage, she might be one of those unlockable characters that do not feature in the game proper. If that is so, she might be hidden in one of those special Dark Arts objects (I have yet to unlock a Dark Wizard). As for Pomfrey, I have not got to Ravenclaw Tower yet, but I'll tell you something when I do. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 15:17, December 8, 2011 (UTC)
- I've uploaded a picture of Hestia Jones (I'm not sure on who, or if it was, based on a character from the movies); I haven't seen Pomfrey on Ravenclaw Tower, though. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 00:02, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
- No. Remember, film canon is higher canon. Besides, it is better to have the Black family tapestry pictures than pictures of LEGO minifigures. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 15:15, December 10, 2011 (UTC)
The yellow slot in the spell wheel is a spell called Focus (which, surprisingly, doesn't have its own article yet) on "regular" characters, and the Imperius Curse on Dark characters (used to control NPCs with a question mark over their heads). In the game, Snape's Occlumency lessons seem to be replaced with attempts to train "Focus" so that they (and the player) can understand what Voldemort is after (the Prophecy). -- Seth Cooper owl post! 19:32, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

Mapping Place, Writing Home: Using Interactive Compositions On and Off the Trail
Kate Reavey, Peninsula College
Students will choose a physical place to study, a site that is close enough to visit at least four times during the quarter/semester. Using writing prompts, text-based research, and close observations in the "field" (the chosen place), students will create a "mashup" of spatially referenced pop-up balloons. These will include researched and narrative prose, citations and links, and some visual images, embedded into a map via Google Earth technology. Through this unique presentation, the research and writing can encourage viewers to better understand the place they have chosen to study.
Maps and Legends: (Re)placing Composition
Jared Leising, Cascadia Community College
Because maps tell stories, offer perspectives, and make arguments, maps also act as a metaphor for the writing assignments students are given. The writing that students do in this class creates maps to where students have been (writing stories from memory), where they currently are (writing profiles from observations of places), and where they're headed. This course approaches sustainability from the viewpoint of learning to value the places in which we live through listening to and telling stories about those places.

Also, this Octahedron takes on a more full shape than a typical 8 sided puzzle as each colored face has been extruded to exist across 4 flat surfaces instead of 1. The 4x4x4 Octahedron II is one of many great puzzles created by LanLan.

|Delicious roasted asparagus with a tahini-peanut dipping sauce.
(For Phase One Fridays I highlight Phase One recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites. I love the tahini-peanut dipping sauce here and think it goes perfectly with roasted asparagus!)
Don't you think there's something special about asparagus when it finally comes into season in the spring? Before I started blogging I wasn't nearly so much of an asparagus fan as I am now. A lot of my asparagus apathy was because I'd mostly eaten asparagus cooked in water, a method which can simmer out a lot of the flavor. When I fully entered the ranks of the food-obsessed and started reading lots of blogs I learned about roasted asparagus, grilled asparagus, and sauteed asparagus. Since then I've been on a yearly spring quest to find as many new asparagus recipes as I can. This roasted asparagus with tahini-Peanut dipping sauce was a fantastic success. The sauce was slightly adapted from Chicken and Quickly Roasted Asparagus with Tahini Sauce, but the added peanut butter produced a thicker sauce and I subbed agave nectar for sugar or splenda. This is a recipe I can't wait to make for guests.
Roasted Asparagus with Creamy Tahini-Peanut Dipping Sauce
(Makes 3-4 servings, although I could eat a pound of this myself. Sauce recipe adapted slightly from Chicken and Quickly Roasted Asparagus with Tahini Sauce adapted from Epicurious.com.)
1 lb. asparagus, thick spears preferred for roasting
1 T olive oil
sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste (I didn't use much salt)
Sauce Ingredients:
(Recipe makes enough sauce for several pounds of asparagus, but have fun thinking of other things it would taste great with.)
1/4 cup well-stirred Tahini (sesame seed paste)
1/4 cup warm water
2 T fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 tsp. agave nectar, preferably amber (can also use sugar or Splenda)
1/2 tsp. ground garlic puree from a jar (or use fresh garlic and grind in mortar and pestle)
2 tsp. soy sauce (I used Tamari)
2 T peanut butter (I use natural low-sugar peanut butter for South Beach Diet)
Put asparagus in plastic bowl and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Arrange in single layer on baking sheet and roast, turning once or twice, until asparagus is starting to slightly shrivel and brown and is still a little crisp in the center, about 15 minutes.
While asparagus roasts, combine tahini, warm water, lemon juice, agave nectar, garlic, soy sauce, and peanut butter in food processor, blender, or bowl attachment of an immersion blender. (If you use an immersion blender or blender, hold the lid down very tightly! I learned this the hard way.) Blend until ingredients are well combined.
Serve asparagus hot with sauce on the side for each person to dip asparagus into. Sauce can also be spooned over asparagus, but I loved dipping it, especially since this is a rich sauce.
Variations: I think this sauce would taste fantastic on roasted broccoli, cauliflower, or green beans too.

The Portland Pipe Line Corporation has officially surrendered its final active permit with the Department of Environmental Protection for a tar sands project that had been planned in 2008. The South Portland-based company is hoping that the move will convince local residents that it has no plan to move tar sands to Maine, and that there is no need for a "Waterfront Protection Ordinance" that will be considered by voters next month. Susan Sharon has more.
For months, proponents of the Waterfront Protection Ordinance have referenced the company's expressed interest in someday reversing the flow of its pipeline to Montreal so that it could bring so-called tar sands oil from Alberta, Canada to Maine.
And they've pointed to an active air emissions permit authorized by the DEP in 2009 as evidence that the company intends to build an export facility, complete with 70-foot-tall vapor combustion units on the South Portland waterfront. But on Thursday the company revealed that it had surrendered a crucial amendment to its operating license.
"The amendment would have allowed for the installation of two vapor control units, and would have permitted the reversal of the flow in their 18-inch pipeline," says Lynn Cornfield, a licensing engineer in the DEP's Bureau of Air Quality.
Cornfield points out that oil in the pipeline currently flows from Maine to Montreal. Without a permit to reverse the flow, Cornfield says there's no need for smokestacks or anything else related to tar sands. "If they don't reverse the flow there will be nothing to burn off, so they don't need the vapor combustion units," she says.
Even as the Portland Pipe Line Corporation was preparing a news release about the surrender of its permit, supporters of the Watefront Protection Ordinance were holding a news conference to warn of the health effects that could be created by burning toxic tar sands chemicals on the city's waterfront. They say tar sands is heavier and more of an environmental hazard than conventional crude.
The company has always maintained that it has no current plans to construct a tar sands export facility or to reverse the flow of its pipeline. And company spokesman Jim Merrill says now that position is irrefutable.
"Based on concerns that proponents of the WPO have made, Portland Pipe Line decided that this was the appropriate step to take to assure the community there is no project proposed, there is no project pending, there is no project imminent," he says.
The WPO does not mention tar sands by name. But it does say that there can be "no enlargement or expansion of existing petroleum storage tank farms and accessory piers, pumping and distribution facilities or facilities for the storing and handling of petroleum and/or petroleum products."
Many petroleum-related businesses along the waterfront say that's overly restrictive and could have implications for the way oil is handled in Portland Harbor, and even delivered to southern Maine homes.
But Cathy Chapman, a spokespeson for the group Protect South Portland, says the ordinance is needed because Portland Pipe Line Corporation's CEO Larry Wilson has given conflicting statements about his interest in tar sands oil.
"We have a history of him changing his mind. I guess you would call it flip-flopping on this issue," she says. "It seems that whenever it's convenient or it's going to serve him in some way he changes his response regarding tar sands project."
Chapman says just a few days ago Wilson was quoted in the Falmouth Forecaster newspaper saying that he would not take tar sands off the table. And she points out that the company's latest move doesn't guarantee that it won't apply for similar tar sands permits in the future.

- As Colorado wildfires continue to worsen, only moderate laws proposed
Gov. John Hickenlooper requested federal funding on Wednesday for wildfire relief in the form of a presidential major disaster declaration.
The request was to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for El Paso and Fremont counties as a result of the Black Forest and Royal Gorge wildfires, according to a news release from Eric Brown, Hickenlooper spokesman.
In the letter, Hickenlooper outlines how El Paso county was in the process of recovering from last year's wildfires when Black Forest occurred.
"In addition, a severe storm that produced tornadoes, high winds and large hail impacted rural areas of the county, destroying and damaging multiple homes and outbuildings," the letter states.
Fremont County and the City of Canon City are addressed with the physical and economic effects of the Waldo Canyon, Royal Forge and Bull Gulch fires.
"Unemployment in Canon City is higher than the state average and the Royal Gorge Fire caused the immediate unemployment of another 150 persons," The letter states. "Further unemployment will occur as businesses dependent upon Royal Gorge Bridge and Park-related tourism suffer from the closure of the Park."
Requests for support include multiple public assistance categories, individual and households program, crisis counseling program and disaster unemployment assistance among numerous others.
"Without the support and related assistance programs, the additional burdens from these events will further undermine state and local governments' ability to recover from the severe impacts of the Black Forest Fire, the Royal Gorge Fire, and the many other fires and severe storm events that occurred over the past 12 months," the letter states.
Additionally, the governor submitted a request to the Small Business Administration for a disaster declaration to provide economic injury disaster loans for businesses in the counties of Hinsdale, Mineral, and Rio Grande, and the contiguous counties of Archuleta, Alamosa, Conejos, Gunnison, La Plata, Ouray, Saguache and San Juan, according to Brown.

At this point, it's an undeniable fact of nature that Janko Tipsarevic has the biggest mouth on Earth and all surrounding planets. In the past he has criticized the WTA, branded Amelie Mauresmo a "pervert" for her sexuality, criticized the WTA, compared his "friend" Ana Ivanovic to "a truck on steroids" (I still don't understand…what does that even MEAN??!!), criticized the WTA, claimed that he stays well away from all gay ATP players, oh, and he criticized the WTA too.
Today, after Gilles Simon and the rest of his crew idiotically kicked the door wide open at Wimbledon, the Serb has once again stepped in and decided to put his Grand Canyon-sized mouth where it isn't wanted, tackling his favourite topic once more.
(via @svenja_sportch)
'It's ridiculous that women get the same prize money at Slams. They should at least play Best of Five […] I don't underestimate Azarenka's achievements, but the best time (for women) is over. It was when the Williams sisters and Clijsters, Henin and Mauresmo played at the top of their game'
Let's get one thing straight, the Best of 5 vs Best of 3 argument is perhaps the most laughable, desperate and tired argument in history. It has beeen battered to death yet keeps on coming back. The fact remains that if those poor, unfairly treated and persecuted men really have a problem with women playing less sets for the same prize money, then they should be campaigning for best of 3 sets at slams. If not, then they should shut up. Full stop.
The rest of Tipsarevic's quote is not unlike Simon and co.'s comments at Wimbledon. The thing is, Tipsarevic obviously isn't actually wrong in stating that the WTA was better a few years back. It certainly was. But this entire argument is completely perplexing. How is this remotely relevant? What does that have to do with anything? Prize money isn't calculated based on subjective preferences, nor is it based on the revenue each tournament makes each year. It's a fixed sum and equal because men and women play alongside each other as equals. Plus, every TV deal, sponsor and other major revenue source pays for the men and women as a joint package regardless of whether men or women are on top.
But, hey, let's just consider Tiparevic and Simon's argument for the hell of it. Tennis is all about phases and eras. There are countless stats to support the fact that previous WTA era was far more popular and famous than the then-weaker and volatile ATP (yet the WTA players were being paid less prize money) and the tables have turned over the past few years. When the big 3 cease to be, well, the big 3, it's fairly obvious that – if they even make it to the top – the current ATP youngsters won't be nearly as popular or dominant as the current top players. So, the only resolution to the argument the ATP players have wasted so much of our time on would be to give equal prize money, then take it back, give it again, take it back again, give it again and so on based on the revenue and interest each era of each tour creates. That would, of course, mean the male players would likely be paid less than the women at times. In what world is any of this remotely realistic or plausible?
The entire "debate" just seems like an excuse for most ATP players (and it isn't just Simon and Tipsarevic) to flex the muscles of their offensively humongous and extraordinarily obese egos and assert that they're far more superior to the women. The good news is that regardless of how much Simon, Tipsarevic, Tsonga and co. bitch and moan, nothing is ever going to change. And that's how it should be.

St. Louis County, MO (KSDK) - A 19-year-old Pagedale man was charged last week after shooting another man in the back following an argument over Thanksgiving dinner, the St. Louis County Police Department said Tuesday.
According to police, the shooting happened at about 8 p.m. Thanksgiving night at a residence in the 1300 block of Pennsylvania Avenue.
Investigators said Corey Wiggins and 53-year-old Turhan Scott were arguing at the dinner table about Scott's food stamps debit card being used to pay for the meal. As Corey Wiggins attempted to walk out the back door, Turhan Scott said something to him about the cost of the dinner, which led Wiggins to pull out a gun and shoot Scott in the back. Wiggins shot Scott six additional times.
On the day before the shooting, investigators said the two men were involved in another argument, and that Turhan Scott threatened Wiggins with a screwdriver.
The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney's Office charged Corey Wiggins with first-degree murder and armed criminal action. He remains jailed on $500,000 cash bond.

I'm an "unknown quantity" but I would like to do this for you. It's an opportunity for me to start building a portfolio since I've lost all my old maps I did a few years ago.
I use inkscape as my primary tool. I started playing around with your sample just to see if I could do it, and I think I could make something pretty cool, and similar to your examples of the styles you like.
Send me a pm when you see this, and I'll show you what I've got so far? I can understand not wanting to go with an unknown, but maybe we can help each other out?
