Vernon and Marjorie Dursley's mother
this wiki
Mrs. Dursley was the mother of Vernon and Marjorie Dursley.
Born sometime in or prior to 1941, presumably someplace in Great Britain, to a muggle family. Sometime in her life she had two children, Vernon and Marjorie Dursley. Vernon attended Smeltings Academy in his youth, and later declared it to be the proudest moment of his life.
Eventually, her children did age and sought after different professions; Marge became a breeder of bull-dogs, whilst Vernon became the head of Grunnings, a drill-making company.
Sometime in or after her son grew up, he proposed to Petunia Evans in the family's sitting room, sometime in 1977[2], and in Petunia's acceptance this lady gained a daughter-in-law.
It is presumed that she was deceased sometime in or before 1991, as her adopted nephew-in-law, Harry Potter, never heard mention of her.
Dursley is a town in Gloucestershire, England. J. K. Rowling has commented that she visited the place as a child, and hated it, which likely affected her choice of surname for the awful family, remarking "I don't imagine I'm very popular in Dursley".[3][4] The town is known for it's Victorian history in coal mining. Rowling chose the name because it sounded "dull and forbidding".

Notes and references
- ↑ If her son proposed in 1977, then he must have been the legal age, presumably 18 years old. She must have been at least 18 as well to have been married and had him (assuming she followed the law). Hence, that sets her latest possible date of birth as 1941.
- ↑ Pottermore; The date of the proposal is based on a reference in that backstory to Lily still being in her seventh year at Hogwarts (1977-1978) at the time of the engagement, as well as a deleted scene on disc two of the Blu-ray edition of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, in which Petunia tells Harry, "I have lived in this house for twenty years", indicating the Dursleys were married and settled at 4 Privet Drive by the end 1977 since the scene is set in 1997.

- Matei, Gabriel; Creanga, Dorina E.; Mocanasu, Radu C.
- Abstract
- Comparative study on the ferrophase dimensional distribution within a water ferrofluid was carried out by applying the atomic force microscopy (AFM) scanning and the transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The ferrophase has a magnetite core prepared by chemical co-precipitation and a double layer coating of citric acid. The diameter histograms revealed the main peak at about 9 nm which is concordant with a high degree of stability of the ferrofluid.

In light of the observation a couple days back of the 30th anniversary of the kids in The Breakfast Club spending that fateful fictional day in detention, I thought it prudent to take a look back at that august classic. I've had a John Hughes-shaped rock in my shoe for a while now; the following is an excerpt from a play I wrote in 1999 (Peter is an erudite German drug dealer, Dana is an American recent college grad and the protagonist of the piece):
PETER: All I know about American high school I know from John Hughes films.
DANA: You've got the basic idea. I went to high school in a John Hughes film, except I wasn't shallow enough to be Molly Ringwald, I wasn't cool or nihilistic enough to be Judd Nelson, I wasn't even Ally Sheedy, because even Ally Sheedy got together with Emilio Estevez after he realizes that deep inside the weirdo there lived the girl you see after her Doris Day makeover---
PETER: You're talking about The Breakfast Club, yes?
DANA: Yeah.
PETER: So that meant . . . you were Anthony Michael Hall.
DANA: Uh-huh. (Pause) The Breakfast Club is one of the most fucked up movies ever made. What's so fucked up about it is that it's accepted as a movie that isn't good enough to analyze, and so no one ever analyzes it. One girl I knew in college, she was always coming over to borrow a movie, and she'd search and search, going past The Searchers, Citizen Kane, Casablanca, All About Eve, looking at my movies for a solid five minutes, while I'm like, let me light a cigarette and if she's not done by the time I put it out, I just kick her out. So I'm just about to eighty-six her when she finally looks up, holding a videotape. "Can I borrow The Breakfast Club?" she says, as if it's the first time. Once she was even like, "Oh, I just remembered. I still have your Breakfast Club, I'll go watch that." Invariably, her choice was always the same. One day I said to her, do you realize what a fucked up movie The Breakfast Club is? And I proceeded to explain to her, and she interrupts me mid-ellipsis and says "Look, this isn't like a film or something that's got like all kinds of deep messages in it, it's just a movie. It's supposed to be entertaining."
PETER: I must confess I don't entirely know what's so fucked up about it.
DANA: Here it is, point blank. There's five of them, right. Judd Nelson and Molly Ringwald pair off at the end, as do Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy. Anthony Michael Hall, the nerd, not only doesn't have anyone to go make out with while the Simple Minds are playing on the stereo, no, but he also lets Molly Ringwald, fucking Molly Ringwald, talk him into writing the essay. And he writes it and it's all strident and defiant of authority, giving the finger to the fascist principal, yeah, fine. The bottom line is, there's him, and there's them. There's Anthony Michael Hall, and there's the two happy couples. Look, in any group of five, if two pairs are formed, there's one left over. Simple arithmetic. But morally speaking, this particular case, the Nelson-Ringwald and Estevez-Sheedy pairings, is an outrage. A world that accepts this as right and good is wrong and evil.
PETER: What do you propose? The nice girl and the athlete? The nerd and the weirdo? That is too easy. Aesthetically, that is an outrage.
DANA: Oh, I agree. I'm not proposing that at all. Emilio Estevez getting together with Ally Sheedy is fine. The world would be a better place if more guys like him dated more girls like her. Both of them benefit from it, he by seeing that weirdos are people too and her by seeing that popular kids aren't all assholes.
PETER: The problem, as you see it, is the good girl going for the outlaw.
DANA: The outlaw who abuses her and abuses her for the entire movie, and in the end she's melting into a puddle of G-spot. Yeah. You see, this movie is, to a certain extent, beloved, and people say "Stop thinking about it so much, it's just a movie," and this means that they, by implication, share the philosophies espoused therein. This means that they implicitly support the notion that what women really want is to be abused and tortured.
PETER: I think that is stretching the point a bit.
DANA: Which would you prefer, someone who abuses you, or someone you can have a good conversation with?
PETER: Dana, truthfully, the sex is probably better with the Judd Nelson character.
DANA: I'm not kidding, Peter. This is a clear-cut case of good versus evil. Good: intelligence. Evil: abusive asshole.
PETER: Do you not think, in all honesty, that the good character, Anthony Michael Hall, deserves a little better than the shallow rich girl? I always saw it as a blessing in disguise for him that he is not trapped in a relationship with either the shallow rich girl or the kleptomaniac compulsive liar.
DANA: Huh.
PETER: I see the problem as being that Hughes felt it necessary to give the film a Hollywood happy ending, or what he thought was a Hollywood happy ending. It would have been a far, far better film if in the end, the characters merely went their separate ways, and perhaps you have a slow motion montage of them walking past one another in the halls and not acknowledging . . . that is real.
DANA: But don't you think sometimes movies, or, hell, art in general, should show what should be, instead of always just these bleak, depressing portraits of what is?
PETER: That is what I mean when I say you are more American than anyone I have ever met. You look to movies for the answer.
(Two disclaimers: one, it was the 90s, when people lapped up long dialogue scenes about pop culture; two, Dana only owning American movies is addressed later that scene when Peter tries to mansplain his way into her bed, on some "you need to broaden your horizons" shit but she's having none of it.)
So, John Hughes. By all accounts, the nicest dude. Beloved by friends and family and millions of 80s kids the world over. A lasting effect of that niceness, and of the fundamental banality of his body of work, has been a general sense that anyone who doesn't like his movies is a big old meanie, and that anyone who spends too much time critiquing them is, per the above excerpt, reading too much into things. As far as the meanie thing goes, go fuck yourself with a cactus, and as far as the reading too much into things, well, yeah, pretty much the same.
Much like Christianity, the problem with John Hughes isn't so much the canon as it is the fandom. Hughes, for all his visual ordinariness and superficiality as a writer, was doing what filmmakers are generally venerated for: making films drawn heavily on his personal experience and interests. Taken more broadly, he was living out the axiom/bromide "write what you know." His middle-to-upper-middle-class white suburban teenagers were the people he'd grown up around as a middle-class suburban teenager.
Where the problem with Hughes comes into play is in the mistaking of his very specific milieu, the fictional suburb Shermer, Illinois, for a universal expression of what it means to be an American teenager. When I was a sophomore in high school I took "Film Appreciation" as an English elective, and among other adventures like watching Rebel Without A Cause and The Producers and almost failing my final paper for going on a digressive rant about Leonard Maltin's idiocy for not properly respecting La Dolce Vita (I've always been me, clearly), we watched The Breakfast Club in its entirety over the course of two hour-long classes. I had not seen it before, though a couple very excited girls had. I was a little less than moved, though I liked that it was doing something formally a bit different from other "stupid fucking teen movies" (again, I've always been me). Most of the class didn't really care for it (weirdly, Rebel Without A Cause was the runaway hit that class; Nicholas Ray auteurism lives!) and more than a few comments were made about it being "boring."
A couple years later, wondering if I'd missed something, I bought it on VHS and indeed found myself picking up on nuances one simply doesn't pick up when surrounded by fidgeting classmates. But a couple things started gnawing at me, the first of which that Judd Nelson's character walks around calling people "fag," which undercuts both his dubious coolness and the revelation that underneath the carefully crafted outlaw exterior he's really a scared, scarred kid. Then there was the asymmetry about who finds love in the end. And the awkward artificiality of the dramatic momentum. And so on. Then there was the hyper-defensive, ultra-nostalgic John Hughes fandom that I encountered in my suburban-reared college classmates, and thus died the death any chance I'd ever have at being able to overlook the clunkiness of the movie in favor of its sentimental intangibles.
Stripped of that sentiment, John Hughes movies are mildly (always, always mildly) grotesque to behold. There's the unexamined homophobia, misogyny (Molly Ringwald may be an asshole in that movie, but nothing she did warranted that disgusting upskirt shot), and classism. In his other movies, like Ferris Bueller's Day Off (which is probably the most entertaining of the bunch, although Ferris Bueller himself is a fucking sociopath) the classism is more fully on display, as the rich kids faff about doing whatever the fuck they want at the occasional ignored expense of the service industry. Then, of course, there's the so-racist-even-John-Hughes-fans-admit-it's-racist racism in Sixteen Candles, with Long Duk Dong.
The Breakfast Club stands apart from the comedies, unable to play the "but it's a joke" card. It tells the story of five privileged (yes, Judd Nelson too; the wrong side of the tracks in Shermer Illinois is the Beverly fucking Hills of most of the United States) kids who each do something stupid (yes, Ally Sheedy too) and end up in detention and make the revolutionary step of actually talking to each other. All kinds of sexist, anti-intellectual (Judd Nelson shredding the Moliere book?), racist (Anthony Michael Hall breaking character to do an old black bluesman bit?) bullshit flies by. The movie ends happily ever after for everyone, including celibate revolutionary manqué Anthony Michael Hall. Then the Simple Minds start playing and nothing else exists for three minutes or so because that song really is something else. Then it's over, almost like a post-hypnotic suggestion where you're feeling good because the song was so great and assume the whole movie must have been, too.
But it's not. Time has a way of creating classics independent of other forces, with nostalgia doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Throw in a director being a really nice person, and that's another extratextual classic-maker. So it's natural to look at The Breakfast Club and Hughes' other films and think "ah, well, I may not like them, but they're classics, I must be wrong." No, you're not wrong. The Breakfast Club fucking sucks and always has. Pauline Kael called it a movie about a bunch of stereotypes who get mad that everyone treats them like stereotypes, and that's a perfect summation of the entire problem. Hughes' great flaw as a writer, even within the undemanding standards of his genre, was an inability to see the world beyond his nose, which resulted in some shocking lack of self-awareness in his characters and movies, which tend to be so white you need sunglasses to prevent eye damage.
All the self-pitying bullshit about being engulfed in the social miasma of middle-and-upper-middle-class white suburban life of Shermer, Illinois has a simple fix: move to fucking Chicago. It's fucking right there. Don't just treat it like an amusement part like Ferris Bueller. Move there. Whether literally or not, all that soporific whining about feeling forced into roles, just shut the fuck up already. Move to Chicago.

|Waingro, about to fuck everything up, as is his custom
The time has come to speak of Heat. One of the most towering feats in the history of ownage, Michael Mann's 1995 heist picture is beloved by both hardcore cinephile and civilian alike. It's full of memorable dialogue, two fantastic late-career performances by Pacino and De Niro, a couple iconic heist sequences, what might be the definitive collection of ownage movie supporting actors (Danny Trejo's character is just named "Trejo" because fuck a character name, he's Danny Trejo), and Michael Mann's uniquely magical ability to make soundtrack tracklists that look fucking horrifying on paper—in this case, the U2 side project Passengers and a fucking Moby cover of Joy Division's "Where Will It End"—into cinematic moments of ferociously transcendent beauty (seriously, the half minute or so of that Moby track? In the freeway scene where Pacino's driving 120 trying to catch up with De Niro? That shit's tight). These things, along with with the central contrast—Pacino's an obsessive, brilliant cop, De Niro's an ascetic, brilliant thief—are what we think of first when we think of Heat. What we rarely consider, and what I didn't realize until quite recently, is that if you delete one character from Heat, nothing ever happens. That character? The new recruit, Waingro.

|What's that? I might win? Naahh....
This has been kind of a goofy Oscar season. I've been keeping up with the less-frothingly-insane bloggers, and they've all been saying shit like "man, this is the tightest Oscar race in years" and going on and on about how competitive it is, and yet, they all have almost exactly the same predictions for everything. Like Socrates once said, "Man, no one knows shit about shit and I'm smarter than all y'all because I know I don't know shit about shit." (from the ancient Greek via Google Translate.) So, for the fifth year in a row, that's my motto. I don't know a goddamn thing about any of this, I'm just here to to make some jokes.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court's first rulings on same-sex marriage produced historic gains for gay rights Wednesday: full federal recognition of legally married same-sex couples and an opening for such unions to resume in the nation's largest state.
The divided court stopped short of a more sweeping ruling that the fundamental right to marry must be extended to same-sex couples no matter where they live.
But in striking down a key part of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, the court declared that same-sex couples married in states where it is legal must receive the same federal health, tax, Social Security and other benefits that heterosexual couples receive.
In turning away a case involving California's prohibition of same-sex marriage, known as Proposition 8, the justices left in place a lower court's decision that the ban is unconstitutional. Gov. Jerry Brown said he would order same-sex marriages to resume as quickly as possible.
With the addition of California, more than a third of Americans will live in a jurisdiction — 13 states and District of Columbia — where same-sex marriage is sanctioned.
Justice Anthony Kennedy joined the court's four liberals in declaring unconstitutional DOMA's prohibition on federal recognition of legally married couples — enacted when such unions were only theoretical.
"DOMA writes inequality into the entire United States Code," wrote Kennedy, who was joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.
Withholding federal recognition of same-sex married couples places them "in an unstable position of being in a second-tier marriage," Kennedy wrote. "The differentiation demeans the couple, whose moral and sexual choices the Constitution protects ... and whose relationship the State has sought to dignify."
Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented.
Enthusiastic reaction
The decisions on the final day of the court's term set off a loud celebration in front of the court's marble plaza and elsewhere in the country.
Edith Windsor, a New Yorker who brought the suit against DOMA after she had to pay an estate tax following the death of her wife, Thea Spyer, said she burst into tears upon hearing the court's decision.
"If I had to survive Thea, what a glorious way to do it, and she would be so pleased," Windsor said at a news conference.
President Barack Obama, whose administration said it would not defend Section 3 of DOMA because it believed the provision was unconstitutional, called Windsor and the challengers of Proposition 8 to congratulate them.
In a statement written on Air Force One en route to Africa, Obama said,"This ruling is a victory for couples who have long fought for equal treatment under the law; for children whose parents' marriages will now be recognized, rightly, as legitimate; for families that, at long last, will get the respect and protection they deserve; and for friends and supporters who have wanted nothing more than to see their loved ones treated fairly and have worked hard to persuade their nation to change for the better."
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the House Republican leadership defended DOMA "because the constitutionality of a law should be judged by the court, not by the president unilaterally."
He said he was "disappointed" by the decision, adding, "It is my hope that states will define marriage as the union between one man and one woman."
Kennedy, who will turn 77 this summer, has authored the court's foremost defenses of gay rights. Exactly 10 years ago Wednesday, he announced the court's decision in Lawrence vs. Texas, which struck down sodomy laws that targeted homosexuals.
His decision Wednesday striking down a central part of DOMA cited the principles of state autonomy, equal protection and liberty.
"The state's power in defining the marital relation is of central relevance in this case," not just because of federalism, Kennedy said, but because giving homosexuals the right to marry "conferred upon them a dignity and status of immense import."
In the end, Kennedy said, "DOMA is unconstitutional as a deprivation of the liberty of the person protected by the Fifth Amendment."
Kennedy wrote that the opinion was applicable only in those states where same-sex marriage is legal.
Withering dissent
In a withering dissent, Scalia said it took "real cheek" for the majority opinion to suggest such a limitation — because the rest of the ruling, he said, laid out a road map for how to challenge state bans on same-sex marriage.
"What has preceded that assurance is a lecture on how superior the majority's moral judgment in favor of same-sex marriage is to the Congress's hateful moral judgment against it," Scalia wrote. "I promise you this: The only thing that will 'confine' the court's holding is its sense of what it can get away with."
He said that decisions about same-sex marriage should be decided in the political arena but that the majority took that away "to buy its stolen moment in the spotlight."
Scalia also said the court's ruling will raise practical problems: "Imagine a pair of women who marry in Albany and then move to Alabama, which does not 'recognize as valid any marriage of parties of the same sex.' ... When the couple files their next federal tax return, may it be a joint one?"
Legal wrangling ahead
Such a case does cause a problem for the Obama administration, which is now grappling with difficult questions about how to deliver federal benefits for same-sex couples living in states that do not have legal same-sex marriage.
Gay activists are pressuring Obama to use his executive authority to ensure that the full range of benefits, such as the right to file federal income taxes jointly or be exempt from the marriage estate tax, be granted to married same-sex couples no matter where they live.
Obama and his top aides asked for patience, telling activists in a phone call within hours of the ruling that it will be complicated to figure out how to reinterpret or revise the hundreds of provisions affecting benefits for same-sex couples across the country.
DOMA was passed with bipartisan majorities of Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton — who put out a statement Thursday praising its demise.
Roberts wrote separately to say the majority had no evidence that Congress's motivation was to "codify malice. ... I would not tar the political branches with the brush of bigotry."
Roberts also wanted to emphasize that neither of the court's opinions Wednesday addressed the question of whether there is a broader right to marriage. "We may in the future have to resolve challenges to state marriage definitions affecting same-sex couples," Roberts wrote. "That issue, however, is not before us."
What they're saying
"The laws of our land are catching up to the fundamental truth that millions of Americans hold in our hearts: When all Americans are treated as equal, no matter who they are or whom they love, we are all more free."
President Barack Obama
"While I am obviously disappointed in the ruling, it is always critical that we protect our system of checks and balances. A robust national debate over marriage will continue in the public square, and it is my hope that states will define marriage as the union between one man and one woman."
John Boehner, R-Ohio, House speaker
"The Supreme Court's decision affirms that all couples, regardless of their sexual orientation, deserve the same rights and opportunities under the law that my wife and I enjoy. The Defense of Marriage Act was a discriminatory law that unfairly treated LGBT couples differently, and has rightly been relegated to the dust bin of history."
Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo.
"While we are disappointed in the Supreme Court's decision to strike down part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, the court today did not impose the sweeping nationwide redefinition of natural marriage that was sought. Time is not on the side of those seeking to create same-sex 'marriage.' As the American people are given time to experience the actual consequences of redefining marriage, the public debate and opposition to the redefinition of natural marriage will undoubtedly intensify."
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council
"By overturning the Defense of Marriage Act, the Court recognized that discrimination towards any group holds us all back in our efforts to form a more perfect union. We are also encouraged that marriage equality may soon return to California. We applaud the hard work of the advocates who have fought so relentlessly for this day, and congratulate Edie Windsor on her historic victory."
Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a joint statement
"We are devastated that the Supreme Court succumbed to political pressure by voting to weaken the sacred institution. They neglected our most precious children who need a mother and a father united in marriage for healthy development."
Rev. William Owens, president of Coalition of African-American pastors

At the start of top-level meetings at the State Department, Pakistani foreign affairs adviser Sartaj Aziz did not specifically mention U.S. efforts to potentially keep as many as 10,000 troops in Afghanistan after the combat mission ends in December.
The Obama administration hasn't decided how large a military force—if any at all—it might want to remain but U.S. officials have been frustrated by Afghan President Hamid Karzai's refusal to sign a security agreement permitting it.
Across the border, Pakistan fears that an abrupt U.S. troop departure from Afghanistan will bolster militant traffic and instability between the two nations.
"In pursuing this goal of the responsible end to the long war in Afghanistan, we have to ensure that Afghanistan successfully transitions into a period of stability, and that past mistakes are not repeated," Aziz told a crowd of diplomats, including U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.
He added: "Although the war in Afghanistan may be winding down, just as in the past, Pakistan will have to face the brunt of any instability that may engulf Afghanistan after 2014.
Aziz said Pakistan also supports an Afghan-led peace process with the Taliban.
The meeting marked rejuvenated efforts between Washington and Islamabad to foster better diplomacy after setbacks following the May 2011 raid by U.S. special forces that killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in northeast Pakistan.
Both Aziz and Kerry highlighted efforts to improve energy, education and economic systems in Pakistan.
Kerry avoided discussion of U.S. troops remaining in Afghanistan. But he called Pakistan "a vital partner in supporting a secure Afghanistan."
"We know how closely Pakistan's own security is linked to Afghanistan's success," Kerry said. "That's why addressing the threats posed to both Pakistan and Afghanistan by cross-border militancy is a key aspect of our conversations."

THANK YOU for helping us find homes for the dogs and cats living in the shelter at the Oregon Humane Society!! If the "CLICK HERE" link for more information does not work, that means the dog or cat has been adopted. But there are plenty more dogs and cats that need a home! Check them out at www.oregonhumane.org. Mitch's Mutts is brought to you by Les Schwab Tire Centers, Home of the Best Tire Value Promise.
I am at LexiDog on 6100 SW Macadam Ave. Portland, OR 97239 (503-327-8219). I romp and play all day with the other dogs in doggy daycare so I might be a great fit with your canine family members! If you give me the time to warm up and get to know you, we can have some awesome days of running and exploring--I have the energy, I just need an owner with patience. My name is Cyrus, and I'm the sort of fellow who prefers a handshake to a hug. Though I am friendly and outgoing, I may be overwhelmed by young children's exuberant affection and might do best in a dog-experienced home. A Basic Manners class like those offered here at OHS will go a long way in helping me become the best dog I can be while having a great time with my new human friend.
The adoption fee includes spay/neuter, microchip ID, collar and OHS I.D. tag, initial vaccines, courtesy veterinarian exam, and plenty of post adoption support!

Fourth person arrested in connection with Luke Fitzpatrick killing in Dollis Hill
11:57 22 May 2012
Detectives detain a man at an address in Wembley
A fourth person has been arrested in connection with the murder of a man in Dollis Hill.
Luke Fitzpatrick was stabbed to death in Crest Road at the junction of Alder Grove, on Saturday night at round 11.30pm.
The 25-year-old roofer had been watching the Champions League final at the Ox and Gate pub in Oxgate Lane, shortly before he was killed.
His 56-year-old father Bernie was also knifed as he tried to save his son.
He is in hospital in a serious condition.
Detectives arrested a 23-year-old man on suspicion of murder at an address in Wembley last night (Monday).
He is currently in custody.
A 31-year-old man and two 17-year-olds who were arrested shortly after Mr Fitzpatrick was killed have been bailed to return to a police station later this month and in June.
Detectives investigating the killing believe a row erupted in the pub after the match between Chelsea and Bayner Munich which spilled out on the street.
However, it is also being speculated that the killing is the result of an argument between two drinkers and a group of men which took place at a cash point machine across the road from the pub during half time.
After the match a mob turned up at the pub brandishing weapons including a butcher's knife.
A post mortem revealed Mr Fitzpatrick died from stab wounds.
DCI Tim Duffield, who is heading the murder hunt, said: "We urgently need to hear from anyone who was in or near the Ox and Gate pub around 11.30pm that evening.
"The pub was still very busy at that time, and we are confident that several people will have seen elements of what happened - we urge them to come forward and contact the incident room."
Anyone with information should call the incident room on 020 8358 0400 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Montreal Canadiens had a two-game win streak halted
the last time out, but they can extend a point streak to four games on Sunday
afternoon when they welcome the Winnipeg Jets to the Bell Centre.
Montreal had outscored Carolina and Boston by a combined 7-1 score in winning
two straight, but the Habs were handed a 2-1 overtime loss on Saturday by the
visiting Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Canadiens tied the Lightning at 1-1 in the third period on Danny Briere's
ninth goal of the season, but Nate Thompson's second goal of the game came
with 23.1 seconds remaining in overtime to give Tampa Bay the win. Lightning
defenseman Victor Hedman collected a carom off the end boards and dished to
the slot for Thompson, who slid the puck past Carey Price's left pad and
inside the right post for the victory.
"This was a good team, one of the best teams in the league. They are always on
top of you pursuing pucks," said Montreal head coach Michel Therrien.
Montreal had a power-play opportunity that spanned the end of regulation and
the beginning of the extra session, but couldn't solve Tampa Bay goalie Ben
Bishop during that time. The Habs went 0-for-4 on the power play in the OT
Price stopped 34 shots for Montreal, which has dropped five of its last seven
games but still occupies the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference playoff
race. The Canadiens are two points behind Toronto for second place in the
Atlantic Division and four ahead of Philadelphia, which is currently eighth in
the conference standings.
Montreal has dominated the Atlanta/Winnipeg series in recent years, taking six
straight and nine of the past 10 meetings in this matchup. The Habs recorded a
3-0 victory in Winnipeg on Oct. 15 as Price turned aside 36 shots to record a
Price could get the start on consecutive days for Montreal and he is 11-3-3
with a 2.26 goals against average in 18 career games against the
Thrashers/Jets. Backup goaltender Peter Budaj is 1-3-1 with a 2.58 GAA in five
career outings in this matchup.
The Jets hope to begin February on a positive note after ending last month by
winning seven of nine games. Winnipeg's 7-2-0 stretch to end January also
coincided with the arrival of new head coach Paul Maurice, who replaced the
fired Claude Noel behind the bench on Jan. 12.
Winnipeg picked up a win Friday against visiting Vancouver, as Devin Setoguchi
scored the game-winner with 2:56 to play, lifting the Jets to the 4-3 decision
at MTS Centre.
Setoguchi scored twice while Zach Bogosian and Michael Frolik also scored for
the Jets, who have won three of four. Ondrej Pavelec stopped 23 shots in the
"I think our execution was good at times, they played a really good game as
far as controlling the puck in our end," said Setoguchi. "But we were able to
have a little bit of poise and make the plays when we needed to be played and
that's something that we can build forward here."
The Jets will play their final four games before the Olympic break on the
road, beginning with today's tilt at the Bell Centre. Winnipeg, which is six
points out of a playoff spot in the West, is 12-14-1 as the road team this
season but the Jets have won three of their past four games as the guest.

- You put that neat new option in your .vimrc, but when you restart Vim, there's no effect! What's up?
- Probably, the .vimrc you are editing is not the one that Vim is loading on startup. Execute the command
:scriptnamesto find out what scripts have been loaded and from where. Make sure the .vimrc appearing there is the one you are changing. For more information on how Vim finds a .vimrc, read :help .vimrc.
- Certain the correct .vimrc is being read, and it still doesn't work?
- For many Vim customizations (eg tabstop setting, BufEnter autocmd) you can do
:verbose [option]?(eg
:verbose set tabstop?or
:verbose autocmd BufEnter) to find the current values and where they were set. Modelines and scripts which run after .vimrc can trip you up in this way.
- You're seeing unexpected maps or abbreviations. Why?
- You can use most define commands (
:autocmd, ...) on their own to list all defined maps, abbreviations, ... Or you can use them with the lhs of the definition to list all matching definitions. Some (like map and abbreviate) will allow partial matches. Add verbose in front and you can see where each item is defined.
Narrowing down the problem
If you're encountering something strange, you can try turning off customizations to determine where the strangeness is coming from.
Use default Vim settings
gvim -u NONE -U NONE
Issue still occurs: likely happens in a default Vim install. May be a bug.
Issue is fixed: it's an installed config setting or plugin. Try disabling plugins.
Disable all plugins
gvim --noplugin
Issue still occurs: config setting (vimrc or gvimrc). Try commenting out parts of your rc files to see if it still happens.
Issue is fixed: it's an installed plugin. Try disabling plugins until it's fixed. Or start Vim with
--noplugin -D to step through all the startup scripts (this can be tedious). If you are running a GUI version, debugging only starts after the GUI is up. Put a
gui command in your .vimrc to fix this; it will start the debugging right after that command, and let you step through .vimrc.
Other notes
Some Vim distributions may include custom settings for Vim (such as debian.vim or Cream's settings) that may make your results different from others.
You might also get slightly different results if you remove your vimfiles. I'm not sure. You can easily stash up all of your vimfiles:
mkdir ~/bak mv .*vim* ~/bak
:ab " list abbreviations :map " list mappings :scriptnames " list scripts :verbose ab x " list abbreviations starting with 'x', and where set :verbose map x " list mappings starting with 'x', and where set
Might include above somewhere later. JohnBeckett 08:21, August 9, 2011 (UTC)

From Joomla! Documentation
Revision as of 14:25, 14 January 2008 by Chris Davenport (Talk | contribs)
This article or section is in the process of an expansion or major restructuring. You are welcome to assist in its construction by editing it as well. If this article or section has not been edited in several days, please remove this template.
This article was last edited by Chris Davenport (talk| contribs) 8 years ago. (Purge)
<translate> In Joomla! an Article is a piece of content consisting of text (HTML), possibly with links to other resources (for example, images). Articles are the basic units of information in the content system and the bottom level in the content hierarchy. Since Joomla! , each Article is in exactly one Category. A Category can be in another Category making it a sub Category. It is also possible to have Uncategorised Articles. These articles exist without being associated with any Category.
Before Joomla! 2.5 and earlier versions, an Article was the third level in the hierarchy Sections → Categories → Articles. Now an Article is a bottom level and will always be the second level or greater in hierarchy.
- Category → Articles
- Category → sub Category → Articles
- Category → sub Category → sub Category → Articles
Articles are maintained using the Article Manager (see the Content Article Manager for or the Content Article Manager for ) which can be reached in the Administrator (Back-end) by clicking on the Content menu, then the Article Manager menu item.
See also: Category</translate>
<translate> Every part of Joomla! powered web site or any CMS type of web site needs a method to display and store its content logically. The usual method is by categories and subcategories. Joomla! allows for multiple ways to display and use content controlled by categorisation. Some of the content types which have categorisation are articles (Main content of web pages), banners, contacts and web links.
Joomla! category named "Uncategorised" is the default category, assigned to any and all content types. The "Uncategorised" category is not descriptive and should be used on as needed basis for content types which do not fall under a specific category.
When creating and assigning categories, you should have a planned structure. As an example, this is one way of how you would categorise several Joomla articles on birds. Create two top article categories called "Animals" and "Plants". Under the "Animals" category, you might have sub categories called "Birds" and "Mammals". Under the "Birds" sub category, you might have 3 articles named "Hawks," "Parrots" and "Sparrows".
- Animals
- Birds
- Hawks
- Parrots
- Sparrows
- Mammals
- Birds
The example above could be expanded even more with specific articles on different species of Hawks, Parrots and Sparrows. Start with using an "Animal" top Category, placing the sub categories "Birds" and "Mammals" are under the "Animal" category, and then a "Hawks," "Parrots" and "Sparrows" sub category under the "Birds" Sub Category as shown below.
Now you can create multiple articles in the Hawk, Parrot and Sparrow sub categories using the different genus or common names of the specific types of these 3 birds.
Categories and their sub categories are maintained using the "Category Manager" which can be reached in the administrator back-end interface by clicking on the "Content" menu type, then the "Category Manager" menu item for the type.

<translate> A component is a kind of Joomla! extension. Components are the main functional units of Joomla!; they can be seen as mini-applications. An easy analogy would be that Joomla! is the operating system and the components are desktop applications. Created by a component, content is usually displayed in the center of the main content area of a template (depending on the template).
Most components have two main parts: an administrator part and a site part. The site part is what is used to render pages of your site when they are requested by your site visitors during normal site operation. The administrator part provides an interface to configure and manage different aspects of the component and is accessible through the Joomla! administrator application.
Joomla! comes with a number of core components, like the content management system, contact forms and Web Links.
See also: Module, Plugin, Template</translate>
<translate> An extension is a software package that extends your Joomla! installation in some way. A small selection of extensions is included with the default Joomla! installation but many more are available from the Joomla! Extensions Directory.
The term extension is generic and the following specific extension types are available:
- Component (since ) – adds custom functions to your site that can be selected from menus
- Language (since ) – defines an additional language for your site
- Library (since ) – provides functions to be used by other extensions
- Module (since ) – shows nonessential data in a side box, possibly on multiple pages
- Package (since ) – bundles related extensions
- Plugin (since ) – modifies content in articles or provides functions to extend other extensions
- Template (since ) – define the look, feel, and navigation capabilities of your site
For an overview of the most important extension types and the functionality they provide, see Extension types (general definitions).</translate>
<translate> Modules are lightweight and flexible extensions used for page rendering. These modules are often "boxes" arranged around a component on a typical page. A well-known example is the login module. Modules are assigned per menu item, so you can decide to show or hide (for example) the login module depending on which page (menu item) the user is currently on. Some modules are linked to components: the "latest news" module, for example, links to the content component (com_content) and displays links to the newest content items. However, modules do not need to be linked to components; they don't even need to be linked to anything and can be just static HTML or text.
Modules are managed in the Joomla! Administrator view by the Module Manager. More information about module management can be found on the appropriate version help screens.
See also: Component, Plugin, Template</translate>
<translate> The term patch file is used for two different file types. The term patch file is sometimes used to refer to archive files that allow you to upgrade from one Joomla! version to another (for example, from version 1.0.0 to version 1.0.7). These upgrade files are also referred to as upgrade packages.
The other meaning for a patch file is a file created by source code version control software -- for example, Subversion or SVN, which is used for the Joomla! source code. This type of patch file contains instructions for changing the contents of one or more source code files. The SVN software reads the patch file and then can automatically change the source code of the files being patched.
Patch files are used by the Bug Squad to test proposed bug fixes. They can also be used to contribute proposed new features to the version under development. For more information about the structure of SVN patch files, read Learn more about patch files.
<translate> A plugin is a kind of Joomla! extension. Plugins provide functions which are associated with trigger events. Joomla provides a set of core plugin events, but any extension can fire (custom) events. When a particular event occurs, all plugin functions of the type associated with the event are executed in sequence. This is a powerful way of extending the functionality of the Joomla! Platform. It also offers extension developers a way to allow other extensions to respond to their actions, making extensions extensible.</translate>
<translate> The Joomla! plugin architecture follows the Observer design pattern. The JPlugin class provides the means to register custom plugin code with core or custom events. The JDispatcher class (JEventDispatcher in Joomla 3.x) is an event handler which calls all plugins registered for a particular event, when that event is triggered.</translate>
<translate> See also: Component, Module, Template</translate>
In Joomla! versions up to and including , a Section is a collection of Categories. It is the top level in the hierarchy Sections -> Categories -> Articles. For example, a website might have Sections called "Animals" and "Plants". Within the "Animals" Section, the website might have Categories such as "Birds" and "Mammals".
Sections are maintained using the Section Manager (help screen) which can be reached in the Administrator (Back-end) by clicking on the Content menu, then the Section Manager menu item.

Comments On Feb 18, 2014:Seems to be a nice jersey for the money. Trail riding is hard on gear so it's good to keep costs down. Jersey does run large. I wear it over evs body armor and it fits loosely compared to other jerseys of the same size, which is nice for me.

Winners & Losers: It Was a Good Week for Personalized Beverages
From Green Mountain pouring full pots of coffee, to Apple paying the price for the iPhone 5c's poor sales, here's a rundown of the week's best and worst in business.
From Green Mountain pouring full pots of coffee, to Apple paying the price for the iPhone 5c's poor sales, here's a rundown of the week's best and worst in business.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple will roll out two iPhone models with bigger screens this year. And despite how well the 5s has been selling, Apple needs them.
Contracting margins and lower selling prices dominate the headlines about Apple. But the company has an even bigger -- and simpler -- problem at the moment.
From earnings reports out of Apple to a Halloween deal on burritos at Chipotle, here are some of the items that will help shape the week that lies ahead on Wall Street.
On Tuesday, Apple has another product unveiling event, but don't expect smart watches, smart TVs, or Apple Glasses -- even though it's overdue for a new breakout gadget.
Apple has told manufacturers of its new iPhone 5C that it will cut orders of the smartphone for the final three months of the year.
Just two weeks after launch, retailers Walmart, Best Buy and Radio Shack are already cutting the price of the new iPhone in half.
Apple's latest moves haven't impressed investors. And in the marathon battle against Android, it's not thrilling consumers either. Is the iMiracle over?
From the roll-out of "Grand Theft Auto V" to the new iPhones getting into customers' hands, here are some things that will help shape the week ahead on Wall Street.
In a rare move, Walmart will offer small discounts on the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C.
Stock markets mostly rose Wednesday, but were weighed down by Apple, which threatened a six-day run of gains for the S&P 500 and pushed the Nasdaq into negative territory.
Wall Street showed Apple no love Tuesday after it debuted its new iPhones. Shares of the world's largest consumer tech company fell 2 percent. Here's why:
Stocks rose Tuesday as the risk that the U.S. would attack Syria appeared to fade, sending oil prices lower.
Apple has been quick to respond to new allegations of labor issues -- this time at Shanghai factories run by Taiwanese manufacturer Pegatron making the iPhone 5C.

State Rep. John Fritchey says he plans to introduce legislation in January that would prevent Illinois residents from suing fast food chains, food manufacturers and distributors.
The Chicago Democrat says he is calling the law the Illinois Commonsense Consumption Act. So far, Louisiana is the only state that has adopted such a law.
The Illinois Restaurant Association says the proposed law would prevent costly and frivolous lawsuits from being filed.

Our boxed gift set includes two hand-selected heirloom varieties of premium popcorn, each prized for its delicate texture and robust corn flavor. The corn is grown in the Midwest by family farmers who specialize in popcorn varieties and harvest the ears when moisture levels make the kernels just right for popping. The five-piece set includes:
Sunset Fire Popcorn: Large red-tinged kernels that pop up extra fluffy and golden.
Wisconsin White Birch Popcorn: Favored for its classic bright-white kernels and mild flavor.
White Cheddar Seasoning: Showcases the rich flavors of Vermont white cheddar and tangy buttermilk.
Popcorn Salt: A delicate salt that lets the natural goodness of the corn take center stage.
Popcorn Oil: Its high smoke point is ideal for the intense heat required for uniform popping.

|Nine-Tails Surge
|Naruto: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 4
|Appears in
|Tailed Beast Skill, Taijutsu
|Offensive, Defensive
In his one-tailed form, Naruto brushes his claws past each other, releasing a powerful shock wave that rips though the opponent and causes them to drop to the ground in pain.
In Naruto Shippūden: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! EX 3, One-Tailed Naruto can only perform it in his Senzai Ninriki/Latent Ninja Power mode, where he instead lunges forward and slashes inward with one claw and the wave causes stagger instead. It is not until Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 and Gekitō Ninja Taisen! Special (barring Clash of Ninja Revolution 2) in that the move returns to its more original form, and no longer needs to be done in a Senzai Ninriki/Latent Ninja Power.
- In the original Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 4, a glitch can be done with Tsunade's midair strong attack on Naruto in the middle of this move. Should Naruto release the wave as Tsunade barely reaches him with her attack, the wave will stay on screen after being sent out and not move anywhere. This can be done multiple times to stack up more on screen.

The Newsvan is, as self explained, a news van in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The Newsvan is designed as a news van for SAN News, and in some versions of the game VCN, with a satellite dish on the roof, and its rear compartment containing crudely rendered broadcasting equipment as well as a chair. It has no special function (despite having a satellite dish), and is not important to any missions. The overall appearance of the van comes from a Burrito but is longer, has a side door, and a slightly different side design and front design.
The performance of the Newsvan is moderate-to-excellent, with a moderate acceleration with good torque, a good top speed, good hill climbing capabilities, and good durability. Due to its height, however, it has a tendency to flip if driven over rough terrains. The Newsvan's braking is very good.
White Newsvan
In the mission Cut Throat Business, there is a chance to get a Newsvan with a unique white color, which is also indestructible unless saved (it will lose property) - the player can fail the mission by either killing Madd Dogg before the cutscene begins which initiates the chase with OG Loc, or failing to chase OG Loc. Players can then gain access to the Newsvan which remains parked in the same location.
- The default radio station in the Newsvan is West Coast Talk Radio.
- In the beta release, Newsvans were to report on a crime a couple minutes after it was committed (i.e. murder or robbery)
- Newsvans are driven by random NPC characters, not specific anchors or station personnel.
- Despite having a door on its right side, there is no outline around it, making it just a handle and a window.
- Found atop Missionary Hill next to the building with the Missionary Hill Radio Tower.
- Sometimes found in the parking lot of the Los Santos International Airport.
- Can also be seen driving when the protagonist drives one.

- TV Van, GTA 1, GTA London (1969 and 1961) and GTA 2 equivalents.

Gary Grigsbys War in the East
Gary Grigsby's War in the East Promo Video
Matrix Games has released a new promo video right in the wake of the enormously successful release of Gary Grigsby's War in the East. The new video gives gamers a general overview of the scope and gameplay available in this titan of Eastern Front strate

The update works for both the English and German versions of the game and includes many important AI and game balance improvements, bug fixes and scenario improvements. We strongly recommend that all owners of Gary Grigsbys War in the East update to v1.05.45 for the best gameplay experience.
Gary Grigsby's War in the East v1.04.36 Patch
There are also changes to how damaged units are returned as replacements, how combat is resolved with multiple attacking units, many aspects of the air war, and much more. In addition, there have been several improvements to the UI and AI and a host of other fixes and adjustments that have been added through months of testing and player feedback. To reflect the many changes and tweaks, an updated manual is also included.
Gary Grigsby's War in the East Patch v1.03
Apart from the expected bug fixes, highlights include Interdiction battles, also Ground Support and Recon Escort air doctrine options were added, improved AI, lots of data/scenario updates and rule changes, multiple GUI additions, and a bunch more.
Gary Grigsby's War in the East v1.06.27 Patch
• New Features and Rule Changes
1. Production Change – Size 0 factories will now expand if they are past their start date.
2. Formula Change – Adjusted the way staging bases are selected for providing ground support aircraft to ground battles.
3. Editor – Improved the Upgrade all OB function. This function should be used only at the beginning of building a scenario (once the unit list has been created), as it often requires units to be rebuilt.
4. AI Improvement – Made a small improvement in how the AI builds lines in small scenarios.
5. PBEM - A possible exploit in PBEM games was identified and removed from the game. We suggest players use the latest version when playing PBEM.
• Bug Fixes
1. Fixed a bug causing the end game screen not to appear properly in small scenarios.
2. Fixed a bug where destroyed German units that were rebuilt were coming back with 10 less morale than they should have.
3. Fixed a bug where the CSV export could get corrupted if a name field is at the maximum value of 40 characters.

Full Changelog:
New Features and Rule Changes
Rule change - All Italian units will be removed from the map by August 1, 1943 and Italian production will cease on August 1, 1943. It is assumed that all Italian production is thereafter focused on the Western Front.
Formula change - Changed the amount of Hiwis generated each turn from captured Manpower centers from 10 to 3. This was done to counteract the impact of a bug fix involving Hiwi generation. Also, it should be noted that manpower generation from cities is reduced by the percentage of German production that is being sent to the Western Front.
Interface Change – The CV values shown on counters of units that include ski units will now reflect the modified CV value of the ski units, when they are in snow or blizzard hexes.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug where Hiwi generation was being inversely impacted by damage to manpower centers (i.e. the more damage to manpower centers, the more Hiwis generated).
Fixed a bug where off-map cities could be destroyed by movement along the edge of the map.
Fixed a bug where the AI was changing the status of some human controlled from refit to ready.
Data and Scenario Changes
OBs 42a Guards Rifle Corps (OB 395) and the 42b Guards Rifle Corps (OB 199) have been expanded to consist of five (5) rather than four (4) Guards rifle brigades. This corresponds to the expansion that was previously done to the regular early war Rifle Corps.
Gary Grigsby's War in the East v1.06.04 Patch
This massive free update includes hundreds of improvements to gameplay, including a more challenging AI, improved game balance, improved aircraft data, interface improvements, an improved scenario editor and a new editor manual and a new small scenario on the Demyansk Pocket.

Yasujiro Ozu's Late Spring (1949) is one of the most moving dramas you'll ever see about the intersecting tension between social norms, generational conflict and familial love, a theme that the great Japanese director masterfully explored with a fierce intelligence and a tender poetry in his post-war films. Late Spring is the story of a daughter who is so dedicated to her father's well-being that she eschews her family's urging to marry. At the age of 27 and unmarried, her single status is deemed a problem to be solved by her loving father, persistent aunt, and cynical best friend. Why marry for the sake of fulfilling an outdated social tradition that isn't necessarily a guarantee for happiness in modern Japan she argues. While her thoughtful and understanding father may agree with such an argument, there exists few options for her future that don't include either an arranged marriage or one born out of romantic love. Each character is so richly rendered and conceived that antagonists are excluded altogether. Everyone seems to have a legitimate point of view which is a quality that highlights the respectful and sympathetic nature of Ozu's grasp of character. Highly recommended viewing. For a clip go here.
