Sorry all-
Due to some changes in the SEO of the site, the old forum.cartographersguild.com links don't work.
People can just edit their links to "www" instead of "forum" and the links will work.
I'm checking to see if I can run a sql replace query to do this in batch....

The driver of a pickup truck was lucky after her pickup truck flipped over, landed in someone's front yard and she was able to walk away.
It happened shortly after 9:30 a.m. on Old Tar Road, outside of Greenville.
Rachel Fiskus of Greenville was driving a Toyota Tacoma and wasn't hurt in the accident, according to firefighters.
It appears the woman was heading south on the highway, ran off the road, struck a ditch and flipped over. Witnesses say her truck rolled over at least three times and debris from the vehicle were scattered throughout the home's yard.
Troopers say they will charge the 20-year-old with exceeding safe speed.

When asked last week in Bastad to discuss the similarities between himself and Federer for at least the nine thousand six hundred and seventy-second time, Grigor Dimitrov immediately cut off the line of questioning with interesting retort.
"I am sick and tired of comparisons between my game and Roger Federer's," he sighed. "I have not won a single ATP event and I have reached only number 69 in the world ranking,"
Grigor's handling of these Federer questions over the years have always been bordering on impressive. It could have been easy for Dimitrov to find himself completely carried away and sucked in his own hype, just as it could conversely have badly affected his career, but he always appears grounded and completely realistic when discussing his career. The same can't be said for those so-called experts (including former coach Peter Lundgren) who look at his service motion, see his strokes and immediately lose their heads and run around proclaiming him as a future 97-time slam champion.
Really, you'd think people would've gotten over the Federer-Dimitrov comparisons after our years, but as evidenced by that interview, they're going strong.

Bellatrix Lestrange's first wand
this wiki
- Hermione: "I hate that thing. I really hate it. It feels all wrong, it doesn't work properly for me… It's like a bit of her."
- Ron: "It'll probably help you get in character, though. Think what that wand's done!"
- Hermione: "But that's my point! This is the wand that tortured Neville's mum and dad, and who knows how many other people? This is the wand that killed Sirius! I miss my wand."
- — Hermione Granger on using Bellatrix Lestrange's wand while using the Polyjuice Potion.[src]
The wand of Bellatrix Lestrange was 12 ¾" walnut, with a dragon heartstring core. It was constructed by Garrick Ollivander, who described it as being "unyielding".[1] The wand also has a slight bend in it, making it appear somewhat like a bird's talon. After the skirmish at Malfoy Manor, Hermione Granger used Bellatrix's wand. [2]
As Hermione Granger identified this wand as being the one that tortured Alice and Frank Longbottom[3], it is likely that Bellatrix Lestrange used this wand both before and after her imprisonment in Azkaban, possibly since the age of eleven. She recovered it after escaping from prison in 1996, fighting with it during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries and killing her cousin Sirius Black with it.
- "He looked down at the wand and was visited by a brutal urge to snap it, to slice it in half with Gryffindor's sword..."
- —Harry Potter's thoughts on the wand upon securing it.[src]
Bellatrix used this wand until the spring of 1998, when Ron Weasley disarmed her in Malfoy Manor after she had tortured Hermione. She held a knife to an unconscious Hermione's throat and ordered Harry and Ron to drop their wands, and for Draco Malfoy to collect hers. However when Dobby dropped a chandelier he was unable to collect it. Bellatrix threw the knife at them and it hit Dobby in an attempt to stop them leaving. This was unsuccessful and the house-elf and the trio escaped with Bellatrix's wand.[4]
Bellatrix reported that her wand had been stolen to Gringotts Wizarding Bank, as she feared Harry, Hermione, and Ron would try to break into her vault, which contained an item important to Lord Voldemort. Within weeks, this is precisely what they did.[3]
Bellatrix's wand was used by Hermione at least until the Battle of Hogwarts, during which Hermione duelled Bellatrix with her own wand, along with Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood. It is unknown if Hermione kept the wand after Bellatrix's death and the end of the Second Wizarding War, but it is very likely she discarded it, having expressed hatred of the wand and its original owner.
Behind the scenes
- Bellatrix's wand wood, walnut, is associated with some old European superstitions. In seventeenth-century Italy, a walnut tree in Benevento was believed to be a gathering place for witches. Another legend held that nothing should be grown near a walnut tree, because it contains evil or poison.
- During the filming of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Helena Bonham Carter accidentally punctured Matthew Lewis's eardrum when she stuck her wand in his ear during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries scene, in which Bellatrix threatens Neville Longbottom.[5]
- In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Bellatrix made a whip extend from her wand, which she used against the Snatchers who were holding Gryffindor's Sword.
- In the films in which the wand appears, it has a bent look, with etchings on it. It also resembles the talon of a large bird. There are also etchings on Sirius Black's wand, which may indicate a familial comparison.
- Helena Bonham Carter said she achieved a large blister after the duelling scene in the Order of the Phoenix film from her wand, the reason being the handle on her curved wand, different from all of the other wands.
- Bellatrix had a wand when she fought in the Battle of Hogwarts and duelled Molly Weasley. She likely found this off another witch or wizard.
- An error occurs where in her full body poster of Deathly Hallows: Part 2 she has it again when Hermione was meant to have it.

About regions
When you're creating new Rackspace cloud resources it's important to understand what a region is and how to use regions effectively.
What is a Region?
A region is a collection of one or more data centers interconnected by a low-latency, high-bandwidth network. A region can be viewed as a "logical data center" and is designated by the three-letter code for a nearby airport (like DFW for Dallas/Forth Worth and LON for London).
Following is a list of available Rackspace regions:
- Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW)
- Chicago (ORD)
- Northern Virginia (IAD)
- London (LON)
- Sydney (SYD)
- Hong Kong (HKG)
More information about our data centers is located on our Global Infrastructure page.
Note: Because Classic v1 and Next Generation Cloud Servers have different architectures, they are not considered to be in the same region, even if they are in the same data center. For example, a Classic v1 and Next Generation server that are both located in the DFW data center are not in the same region.
Region availability
Not all cloud services are available in all regions.
Because of maintenance or capacity concerns, the provisioning of cloud services might also be restricted in some regions in which they are normally available. Contact Support to request access to a restricted region.
Note: At this time, the provisioning of cloud services in the ORD region is not available to new customers. If you are a new customer, you can open a ticket in the Cloud Control Panel to add ORD to your account, pending approval.
Benefits of using regions
Whenever possible, consider locating all of your Rackspace infrastructure in the same region to receive the following benefits:
Geographic choice: You can provision resources closer to your end users or other applications, data centers, clouds, and so on. This becomes increasingly important with hybrid on-premises to public cloud scenarios.
Network performance: All resources provisioned within a region have internal connectivity over a private, low latency, high bandwidth network. The physical distance between resources is small and improves the speed of network traffic and throughput.
Free bandwidth. All communication over the Rackspace Network (aka ServiceNet) within the same region is free.
About free bandwidth
The example explains how to avoid bandwidth charges for communication between resources in the same region.
Let's say you're going to set up a new Cloud Load Balancer that will service two Cloud Servers currently running in the Dallas region. When you create the new load balancer, choose the same region as your servers, in this Dallas (DFW) region. There will be no bandwidth charges for the communications between the servers and load balancers in this region. Note that if later added a Cloud Server running in the Chicago region to the load balancer in Dallas, normal bandwidth charges would be incurred for traffic between the server in Chicago and the load balancer in Dallas.
The diagram below provides a visual representation of this concept:
This concept applies to all Rackspace cloud infrastructure that allows you to select a region when you create the resource. In most cases, you should create your resources in the same region to keep the resource close to end-users and other infrastructure, for increased network performance, and to avoid internal bandwidth charges.

May 6, 2016
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Notre Dame is joining the Atlantic Coast Conference a season earlier than expected, following the split among the Big East's football schools and seven Catholic schools that are leaving to form a basketball-focused conference.
Notre Dame announced the move Tuesday, six months after it surprised the college sports world by opting to join the ACC in all sports except football and hockey.
Tuesday's move means Notre Dame will join the ACC at the same time as fellow Big East members Pittsburgh and Syracuse, which announced earlier they would join the league. Louisville is expected to join the ACC after next season.
The move means Notre Dame coaches can move forward with scheduling for the 2013-14 school year.

Colors bright , material ok! Let see how it end up!,,, love it.
The only problem it took 3 months for the arrival..... No way!
I looked and looked for a rug with these shades of blue, green, and purple and had not been able to find one anywhere. I finally stumbled upon the Serendipity Rug and it is perfect! Exactly as pictured. It ties my guest room together, and makes it feel warm, cozy, and garden-like. It is a very thin, woven rug as it appears in the picture, but it is very soft. High quality with gorgeous, vibrant colors. It does need a non-skid mat underneath. I am very happy with this purchase!

Comments about Akron Rubber Ducks MiLB AC 59FIFTY Cap:
I really like the hat, however I picked the ship to store option and the store took over two weeks to get it in. I thought that would be the fastest option but it definitely wasn't.
Comments about Iowa Cubs MiLB AC 59FIFTY Cap:
When I got the hat in the mail, the bill was curved up, similar to how a gangster would where his. This is not how I like my hats. After curving the bill, I had to push down on it as well because it was still pointing up. The hat also came in very tall. I like the boxy shape on New Era hats but this one was to tall for me. The hat however is very high quality and no stitch is out of place.

Chopper Checkpoints are side missions in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City only accessible after the mission Rub Out. They are time trials missions and are started by entering parked Sparrows around the city. There are a total of four different chopper checkpoints, all of them have similar objectives. The player must fly the Sparrow through a series of checkpoints. There are no time limits and all four are required for 100% completion. The player is rewarded $100 for completing the course.
- Ocean Beach - On the roof of Apartment 3C, 17 checkpoints
- Vice Point - Across the street east of Links View Apartment on an open grassy area, 17 checkpoints
- Little Haiti - On top of a roof behind the Kaufman Cabs, 22 checkpoints
- Downtown - At the building east of the VCPD headquarters, only available after the mission G-Spotlight is completed, 29 checkpoints
- The Downtown Chopper Checkpoint can be made before the mission "G-Spotlight". You can get a Sparrow (from another Chopper Checkpoint) and park it in the position where the helicopter would spawn in the future. Try it more times, until you get it. Finally, the mission will start a few seconds after entering the chopper.

Springs police are searching for three suspects after they robbed the Taste of India. Only 11 News has video of the robbery in progress. The owners are hoping someone will know who these crooks are.
In the video you can see store manager Tajinder Dhillon with a gun to his back being forced to comply with the crooks.
"They put the gun over here, under my head... I tried to turn around toward him and he said, 'turn around' then he told me to lay down on the ground," Dhillon said.
This is the second time the business, located near Flintridge and Academy, has been robbed in the last few years.
Around 8:20 Friday night, the suspects walked into the Taste of India, a restaurant and grocery store, and demanded money and cigarettes. Two were reportedly carrying guns.
They had stocking caps or masks covering their faces and were wearing gloves. One of the suspects had a blue backpack.
The store owner's son says he saw three men running away from the store in the direction of the Starbucks, northward. Police searched the area, but were unable to locate the suspects.
If you have any information on this incident, call police at 444-7000 or Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

Rip Curl Pro Search San Francisco: Day 1 Photo And Video Highlights
A shark sighting and offshore-wind-fueled barrels mark day 1 of the Rip Curl Pro Search San Francisco
"That was the biggest fin I've ever seen," exclaimed Dusty Payne, who came straight in from his round 1 heat with five minutes left on the clock after seeing what he described as not just a shark, but a white shark. "I've seen plenty of dolphins, that was not a dolphin."
Some of the local crew were predictably skeptical, claiming that there have been lots of very large porpoises hanging around lately. The question is, was there a vertical tail fin trailing behind? We may never know, but the crew here tend to call any shark claims a dolphin unless you can produce video. Regardless, the ASP "shark rule" wasn't fired up, and it really didn't matter because Dusty was comboed anyways.
Dusty's "big animal" sighting will get the headlines, but the thing that's far more elusive than a shark sighting at Ocean Beach is a full day of firing surf, which Rip Curl lucked into today. The odds are mind boggling, but the first day of the waiting period turned out to be the best day of the year so far at OB. Last night people were claiming it would either be foggy, mixed up, onshore, or any number of things that tend to foul up the surf here. But OB put on its happy face for the World Tour, with well overhead peaks and some bombs thundering through.
Okay, so, the comp. It's not often that the surf and a shark overshadow the greatest surfer of all time inching closer to his 11th world title. No big news, but Kelly won his heat, moving him into round 3. If he advances, he'll clinch the 11th. It could happen tomorrow, otherwise we've got some weather on the way that will probably delay the champagne for a few more days.
Jordy Smith ripped and won, Freddy Patacchia put together a sick heat, and so did Pat Gudauskas, who's on the bubble for staying on the World Tour and needs a solid result here to give him some breathing room. "It's been a tricky year for me," said Pat after his round 1 win. "I've had some close calls and some shockers." But he put the screws to Julian Wilson in their heat today. "It's not like Lowers out there," said Pat, "you can't just make scores—you've got to find the good waves."

ASP Press Release:
Rip Curl Pro Search San Francisco
ASP World Title Event No. 10 of 11
Ocean Beach, San Francisco, California USA
November 1 – 12, 2011
Ocean Beach Fires for Opening Day of the Rip Curl Pro Search San Francisco
OCEAN BEACH, San Francisco/California (Tuesday, November 1, 2011) – Clean three-to-five foot (1 – 1.5 metre) waves graced the banks at Ocean Beach today as the world's best kicked off the Rip Curl Pro Search San Francisco.
Event No. 10 of 11 on the 2011 ASP World Title Series, the Rip Curl Pro Search San Francisco plays a pivotal role in both the requalification campaigns of the world's best surfers and the hunt for the 2011 ASP World Title.
Matt Wilkinson (AUS), 23, reveled in today's wedgy beachbreak conditions, threading the needle on clean barrels on his forehand and unloading tail-drifting backhand turns to accumulate the day's highest heat-total of 16.53 (out of 20) to win his Round 1 heat.
"It's hard because you can't hear any scores out there," Wilkinson said. "I got a fun left to start with and a fun right to back it up. I was feeling solid, but I knew Michel (Bourez) was going mad and I didn't feel safe. It was a real fun heat. There's a ton of paddling but it's super fun out there and it's worth it. There are some fun waves."
Kelly Slater (USA), 39, defending Rip Curl Pro Search champion, looked sharp while opening his campaign in San Francisco, navigating through several barrels and executing committed turns to earn a 16.03 heat total and a Round 1 heat victory. "I'm stoked because I went out last night and the surf was tough, the waves were real flat and I had boots and gloves and a hood so that I could go back and feel more comfortable out there today with less rubber on," Slater said. "The conditions today were a lot more fun. The water is like Jbay and I thought it'd be colder, it's probably upper 50's and it's not too bad."
Slater, reigning 10-time ASP World Champion and current frontrunner on the 2011 ASP World Title Race, needs to take a 9th place finish at the Rip Curl Pro Search to secure his unprecedented 11th crown, but still remained conservative in regards to possibilities despite his commanding lead over the field. "I'm going to try and just be relaxed about it because it's a situation where you could feel tense in and want to get it over with it," Slater said. "The reality of it is the other guys have to win both events with my last heat win so the pressure is on them. I don't feel like I can relax though because the guys now have to focus and that's when they could do something magic. That's how it goes in competition and I don't doubt that that's a possibility. It is close. I just need to catch four good waves in this event to win the title."
Slater also was quick to remember that tomorrow will mark the one-year anniversary of the passing of the late Andy Irons (HAW) and expressed that clinching his 11th ASP World Title would follow second in remembering the life of his friend.
"The globe's a cool trophy and if I happen to make it out of the next round I've love to win this contest," Slater said. "Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of Andy's passing away and it's going to be a sad and happy day in remembering him and if Ironically I can win the world title on that day it'd be secondary to the memory of Andy."
Patrick Gudauskas (USA), 25, current No. 34 on the ASP World Ranking, earned a crucial Round 1 victory with sharp backhand surfing on several Ocean Beach lefts and solidified his Round 1 victory with a lengthy right barrel to relegate ASP World Tour rookie Julian Wilson (AUS), 22, and Portuguese veteran Tiago Pires (PRT), 31, to Round 2.
"It's fun out there with the offshore winds," Gudauskas said. "I got those fun lefts and they're hard to find so it's really fun. This year has been a tricky year for me. I've had some close heats and I've had a lot of close loses and shockers, so I'm just letting it go and just free surfing out there. I feel like I'm home with the full suit and I feel good out there."
Adriano de Souza (BRA), 24, current No. 3 on the ASP World Title Race, carried the momentum from his win at the Rip Curl Pro Portugal to San Francisco to take a hard-fought Round 1 victory over Bede Durbidge (AUS), 28, and Travis Logie (ZAF), x.
"Coming off the win in Portugal last event has given me a lot of confidence," De Souza said. "We had amazing waves, but the waves are fun here too. It's much colder, but it's not too bad. San Francisco is beautiful and we're very fortunate to have all the support of the locals for having us here."
Jordy Smith (ZAF), 23, immediately found a rhythm in the Ocean Beach lineup, consistently driving his way through tight barrels to relegate progressive Hawaiian Dusty Payne (HAW), 22, to Round 2 in conditions he found similar to his home of South Africa. "I found a couple of little nuggets and got barreled," Smith said. "Dusty (Payne) was unfortunate and he said he saw a shark out there so that's a bit unnerving. The waves can be pretty fun though. It reminds me a lot about waves at home around Cape Town."
Dusty Payne exited the water five-minutes early in his Round 1 bout against Jordy Smith after claiming to see a shark cruising the Ocean Beach lineup and opted to take his chances in Round 2 rather than deal with potentially dangerous wildlife. "I was sitting out there and saw something in the lineup," Payne said. "I've seen dolphins before and that wasn't a dolphin. That's the biggest fin I've ever seen in my life and it came straight for me. The waves are terrible so I just opted to stay in instead of deal with the shark."
When competition commences, up first will be Bede Durbidge (AUS), 28, up against Dane Reynolds (USA), 26, in Heat 5 of Round 2.
The Rip Curl Pro Search San Francisco is Stop No. 10 of 11 on the 2011 ASP World Title Series with a waiting period from November 1-12. The 2011 Pro Search will be broadcast live on Fuel TV, Livestream.com and live.ripcurl.com
Surfline, official forecasters for the Rip Curl Pro Search San Francisco, are calling for he first two days of the waiting period, Tuesday and Wednesday, to see solid northwest ground and windswell mix along with generally favorable wind conditions (although still lumpy and bumpy surf on Tuesday). The end of the week and into the following weekend (3rd-6th) will see more swell, but also variable and, at times, strong onshore wind.

- "When you've followed the trail to that thieving SPANK-head, waste him!"
- ―El Burro.
Big'n'Veiny is the final mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by Diablos leader El Burro from a payphone in the Hepburn Heights area of Portland Island, Liberty City.
Claude goes to the payphone in Hepburn Heights, which is ringing. El Burro instructs Claude to follow a SPANKED-up thief who has stolen the latest copy of Donkey Does Dallas and collect the copies as they fly out of the back of a van. After collecting all the magazines, Claude kills the thief and then returns the magazines to XXXMags in the Red Light District.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Get in the van
- Collect the copies of the magazine and follow the trail to the thief
- Whack the thief
- Take the van to the back of XXX Magazines
The reward for completion of the mission is $20,000 and the unlocking of the Turismo race, El Burro's first mission. The Portland safehouse will also be seen with stacks of pornographic magazines thereafter.
- The mission name may be a reference to an erected penis.
- It is not necessary to collect all magazines, but it is essential if the player wants to gain an extra second.
- Somewhere along the Head Radio Building, while collecting magazines, a police radio will report porn magazines being scattered across the town. It is odd, as no police are involved in the mission.
- This mission is hard if you never driven a Rumpo. You must slow a little but also go fast because there are seconds to fail this mission.

Alge Crumpler's time as a Tennessee Titan could soon be over.
The unrestricted free agent is believed to be close to an agreement with the New England Patriots, league sources indicated, though no deal is likely to be consummated until sometime next week.
The Patriots have been desperate for help at the tight end position, having lost Ben Watson to the Cleveland Browns and releasing Chris Baker this off-season.
Crumpler's agent James "Butch" Williams said Thursday that no deal has been signed with any team.
Crumpler was a player the Titans had hoped to keep during this off-season, as he was a valuable contributor as a run blocking tight end, and also caught 27 passes for the 222 yards this past season and one touchdown.
The Titans' need for adding a tight end was lessened somewhat when Bo Scaife signed his one-year tender offer of $4.9 million earlier in the week. The Titans also have Jared Cook, who like Scaife, is primarily a receiving tight end and Craig Stevens, who would likely inherit the primary blocking tight end role if Crumpler departs.
Crumpler joined the Titans in 2007 after being released by the Atlanta Falcons.
In two seasons in Tennessee, Crumpler has 51 pass receptions for 479 yards.

- "I really don't think they should let the other sort in, do you? They're just not the same, they've never been brought up to know our ways. Some of them have never even heard of Hogwarts until they get the letter, imagine. I think they should keep it in the old wizarding families."
- —Draco to Harry Potter before their first year at Hogwarts[src]
Draco Malfoy (born June 5, 1980) is a student at Hogwarts in Harry Potter's year. He was sorted into Slytherin House and is Harry's archenemy at Hogwarts. Draco Malfoy is tall and slender, with pale skin and a sharp featured face. He has sleek, silverish blond hair and cold, grey eyes.
Early Childhood
Draco was born to Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy (née Black), who were both pure-bloods. He is also a descendant of the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black and the great-great-great grandson of Phineas Nigellus Black. They are quite proud of having pure blood and, at least until 1996, their continued allegiance to Lord Voldemort while maintaining a respectable public image.
Both the Malfoy family and the Black families have traditionally been in the Slytherin House for centuries; indeed, the Blacks usually disowned anyone who was not (for example, Sirius Black). This tendency, as well as prejudice against Muggle-borns caused Harry Potter and Ron Weasley in the 1992-1993 school year to suspect Draco of being the Heir of Slytherin.
The Malfoys are wealthy and spoiled their son, giving him the best of everything as far as material possessions go. The only hand-me-down thing Draco has ever received would be the old family prejudice against Muggles, Muggle-borns (or "Mudbloods"), and half-bloods; in short, prejudice against anyone who is not a pure-blood witch or wizard.
When Draco went to Diagon Alley to shop for school supplies in 1991, he met Harry Potter in Madam Malkin's, without knowing who he is. He made a rather intolerant speech about Muggle-borns, but otherwise acted in a friendly way towards Harry. Later, on the Hogwarts Express, he offered his friendship to Harry. Harry, however, did not like the attitude he had towards Ron Weasley, with whom Harry had already made friends, and so turned him down, creating animosity that lasted through the rest of their schooling.
- "You'll soon find out that some wizarding families are much better than others, Potter. You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there."
- —Draco while speaking to Harry Potter and Ron Weasley[src]
Draco seems to be a talented wizard. In his very first Potions lesson, his potion-making was held up to the class by Professor Snape as a very good example (Though Snape did favour Slytherins, which could suggest he was just rubbing it in to the Gryffindors).
Second Year
In his second year at Hogwarts, Draco attained the position of Seeker on the Slytherin Quidditch team. His father bought the entire team new brooms because of this, though Hermione Granger openly speculated that this was in fact what got Draco on the team at all. Draco responded angrily to this accusation, and called Hermione a "Mudblood", causing the Gryffindor team to lash out of him; Ron tried to hex him to vomit slugs, but the curse backfired.
During a meeting of the short-lived Duelling Club, Draco duelled Harry Potter. He conjured a snake, and was disappointed when Harry thwarted the attack by speaking to the serpent in Parseltongue. This led many students to suspect that Harry was the Heir of Slytherin, who had opened the Chamber of Secrets and released a basilisk. Harry, Ron and Hermione, however, suspected that Draco might be the heir, given his bigoted views on Muggle-borns. Hermione brewed Polyjuice Potion so that Harry and Ron were able to disguise themselves as Gregory Goyle and Vincent Crabbe, respectively, and enter the Slytherin Common Room. There, Draco unwittingly revealed through conversation that he was not the heir, nor did he know who it was, though he wished he did so that he could help him.
It was, in fact, Draco's own father who had schemed to get the Chamber of Secrets opened by planting an old diary of Tom Riddle's on Ginny Weasley, though his true target in this plot was her father Arthur. It does not appear that Draco was aware of this.
Third Year
- Draco: "I'm afraid he won't be a teacher much longer. Father's not very happy about my injury...he's complained to the school governors. And to the Ministry of Magic. Father's got a lot of influence, you know. And a lasting injury like this...who knows if my arm'll ever be the same again?"
- Harry: "So that's why you're putting it on. To try and get Hagrid sacked."
- Draco: "Well, partly, Potter. But there are other benefits too. Weasley, slice my caterpillar for me."
- — Draco, Harry and Ron in a Potions class after his injury[src]
Draco started off his third year by mocking Harry's reaction to the Dementors that were near Hogwarts that year searching for escaped Azkaban prisoner Sirius Black, despite being terrified of them himself.
In a Care of Magical Creatures lesson, Draco provoked the hippogriff Buckbeak, and was injured, though he exaggerated how badly he was hurt for attention and in an attempt to use the incident against Hagrid. When Draco mocked him for how upset he'd become over the case, Hermione slapped him in anger. Lucius tried to get the creature executed, and although he was successful in obtaining this sentence, Buckbeak was saved through the efforts of Harry and Hermione.
Fourth Year
- Draco: "Granger, they're after Muggles. D'you want to be showing off your knickers in midair? Because if you do, hang around…they're moving this way, and it would give us all a laugh."
- Harry: "Hermione's a witch."
- Draco: "Have it your way, Potter. If you think they can't spot a Mudblood, stay where you are."
- — Draco speaking to Harry, Hermione and Ron about the Death Eaters at the Quidditch World Cup[src]
In 1994, Draco attended the Quidditch World Cup with his parents from Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge's luxury box. He taunted Harry, Ron, and Hermione when a group of Death Eaters began terrorizing the campers.
Later that year, Harry realised that Malfoy was the informer and impetus behind Rita Skeeter's continuing assault on Harry's credibility, which set the stage for widespread disbelief of Harry's announcement that Voldemort had returned. During the competition for the Triwizard Cup he supported Cedric Diggory, passing out badges that could be made to read Potter Stinks and taunting Harry regularly, such as commenting that he was betting Harry wouldn't last more than a few minutes with the dragons. Draco attended the Yule Ball with Pansy Parkinson, wearing black dress robes that Harry thought made him look like a vicar.
At the end of the year, he mocked Harry about his choice to side against Voldemort and also made light of Diggory's death. Before he could finish, however, he was hit by several curses from Harry and his friends.
Fifth Year
- "The Inquisitorial Squad... A select group of students who are supportive of the Ministry of Magic, handpicked by Professor Umbridge. Anyway, members of the Inquisitorial Squad do have the power to dock points... So, Granger, I'll have five from you for being rude about our new headmistress...Macmillan, five for contradicting me... Five because I don't like you, Potter... Weasley, your shirt's untucked, so I'll have another five for that... Oh yeah, I forgot, you're a Mudblood, Granger, so ten for that..."
- —Draco as a member of the Inquisitorial Squad[src]
In 1996, Draco became a Slytherin prefect along with Pansy Parkinson. He was sure to mock Harry for not receiving the same honour, as Gryffindor's prefects were Hermione and Ron. Later that year, he joined Dolores Umbridge's Inquisitorial Squad, and clearly enjoyed the power this gave him over other students. He also wrote the lyrics to the demeaning song Weasley is Our King, which mocked Ron Weasley's abilities as Gryffindor Keeper. It was the invention of this song, as well as insulting Molly Weasley and the late Lily Potter to Harry's face, that prompted Harry and George and Fred Weasley to get into a brawl with Draco that resulted in them being banned from Quidditch.
Draco caught Harry running out of the last meeting of Dumbledore's Army, recieving fifty points. Later, he was among the Inquisitorial Squad members who caught Harry and his friends in their attempt to discover the whereabouts of Sirius Black, whom Harry had seen being tortured in a vision. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny Weasley, Neville Longbottom, and Luna Lovegood were all brought to Umbridge's office, guarded by the Inquisitorial Squad. Before Umbridge could carry through on her threat to use the Cruciatus Curse to make Harry talk, Hermione told Umbridge that they were trying to contact Dumbledore about a "weapon" that he planned to use against the Ministry of Magic. Draco had an expression of "eagerness and greed" at this news that convinced Umbridge not to allow him or any other Squad member to accompany her as she took Harry and Hermione into the Forbidden Forest in search of the alleged weapon.
After Umbridge left, the remaining D.A. members used a litany of stunning spells and disarming charms to escape the office; Draco was hit by Ginny's Bat-Bogey Hex. It was soon revealed that Hermione had been lying about a weapon; Umbridge was carried off by Centaurs and the D.A. members flew to the Ministry, where the Battle of the Department of Mysteries ensued.
- Draco: "You're dead, Potter."
- Harry: "Funny, you'd think I'd have stopped walking around."
- Draco: "You're going to pay. I'm going to make you pay for what you've done to my father… You can't land my father in prison."
- — Draco and Harry after the Battle of the Department of Mysteries[src]
Draco's father was seen participating in the battle as a Death Eater and was imprisoned in Azkaban. Draco was very upset by this, and mainly blamed Harry Potter, swearing vengeance and attempting to attack him at the end of the school year with the help of Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle. However, other D.A. members came to Harry's defence.
Sixth Year
- Harry: "Wow...look at that...he's not here now! So why not have a go? They might be able to find you a double cell in Azkaban with your loser of a husband!"
- Draco: "Don't you dare talk to my mother like that, Potter!"
- Narcissa: "It's all right, Draco. I expect Potter will be reunited with dear Sirius before I am reunited with Lucius."
- — Draco and his mother confront Harry in Madam Malkin's[src]
In 1996, Draco was presumed to have joined the Death Eaters, having replaced his incarcerated father. He bragged about having given a mission to his fellow Slytherin students on his way to school on the Hogwarts Express. However, as the year dragged on, Draco became increasingly afraid that he would fail in his seemingly impossible task — to kill Albus Dumbledore and get Death Eaters into Hogwarts. It is implied that Draco was expected to fail and that Voldemort assigned him the task with the intention of punishing Lucius Malfoy for his failure at the Department of Mysteries. The safety of his family rested on Draco's success with his mission.
- "…he's sensitive, people bully him, too, and he feels lonely and hasn't got anybody to talk to, and he's not afraid to show his feelings and cry!"
- —Moaning Myrtle about Draco[src]
Draco made a few attempts to kill Dumbledore throughout the year; in the process, he placed Madam Rosmerta under the Imperius Curse and accidentally injured Katie Bell and Ron Weasley. He refused Severus Snape's offer of help even as his mission continued to go badly. Draco took to crying in the bathroom and confessing his fear and despair to Moaning Myrtle. Harry stumbled upon this once, resulting in Draco attempting to cast the Cruciatus Curse on him. However, Harry attacked him with Sectumsempra first, injuring Draco.
Eventually, Draco managed to repair the Vanishing Cabinet in the Room of Requirement, and used it to let Death Eaters into the school; to his horror, the vicious werewolf Fenrir Greyback was among them. He also managed to corner Dumbledore on top of the Astronomy Tower. However, when he was finally given the opportunity to kill Dumbledore, Draco was unable to do it, instead lowering his wand. Snape, who had made an Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa to step in if Draco failed in his task, used the Killing Curse on the headmaster. He promptly led Draco out of the school grounds, presumably to safety. When Draco took Dumbledore's wand from him, he gained the allegiance of the Elder Wand, one of the three Deathly Hallows, unbeknownst to him.
In this year, Draco proved capable of blocking jinxes nonverbally[HP6]. He also became accomplished at Occlumency through the training of his aunt Bellatrix Lestrange, and was able to perform the very difficult Protean Charm, though he could not yet produce a corporeal Patronus[1].
Seventh Year and Later
- "Who cares what you think? I don't take you orders no more, Draco. You an' your dad are finished."
- —Vincent Crabbe to Draco in the Room of Requirement[src]
Through his link to Voldemort, Harry saw Draco reluctantly participating in Death Eater activities before the beginning of the 1997-1998 school year. Draco witnessed the murder of Charity Burbage and tortured Thorfinn Rowle on Voldemort's orders. Judging by Voldemort's mocking of the Malfoys' relation to werewolf Remus Lupin through Nymphadora Tonks and later remarks made by Vincent Crabbe, it seemed that the Malfoys had lost much of their influence in Death Eater circles. Still, Draco was one of the elite students in his seventh year at Hogwarts, as a pure-blood with connections to the Death Eaters.
During the Easter holidays, Draco returned home to Malfoy Manor. He was called upon by his parents and aunt to confirm the identities of Harry, Ron and Hermione, who were caught by a group of Snatchers led by Fenrir Greyback, and showed great reluctance in doing so, avoiding looking at them. When Hermione lied to Bellatrix under torture about Godric Gryffindor's Sword, it was Draco that was sent to fetch Griphook from the dungeons to get confirmation of the story. Dobby assisted the prisoners in escaping, and Draco had his face cut by the fallen chandelier and his wand was stolen by Harry, along with the wands of Bellatrix and Peter Pettigrew.
Later that same year, during the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco, along with Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle chose to remain in the school as their fellow Slytherins evacuated in order to bring Harry Potter to Voldemort. Given Narcissa Malfoy's previous remarks alluding to "forgiveness", it is likely that Draco was doing this in an attempt to redeem his family in Voldemort's eyes. However, he no longer exercised the same degree of control over his friends that he once had, particularly Crabbe. Harry saved Draco's life when the Room of Requirement was burnt down as a direct result of a Fiendfyre curse cast by Crabbe. During the fire, Draco went out of his way to try and save Crabbe and Goyle. He managed to get an unconscious Goyle upon the broom with Ron and Hermione, but Crabbe was left behind, and was killed.
Harry, Hermione and Ron later spotted Draco while under the Invisibility Cloak, pleading with a Death Eater that he was on his side. Harry stunned the Death Eater and Ron punched Draco for being a "two-faced bastard". After Voldemort's defeat, he and his parents sat in the Great Hall, looking uncertain of their place during the victory celebrations.
Draco and his family avoided imprisonment in Azkaban due to their last-minute switch in allegiance. Draco eventually married Astoria Greengrass, the younger sister of fellow Slytherin class mate Daphne Greengrass.[2] The two had a son together, Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy.
On September 1st, 2017, while sending his son off for his first year at Hogwarts, Draco greeted Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny at King's Cross Station with a curt nod. The relationship between Harry and Draco is better than it had been when they were students together, but they are still not considered to be friends.
Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy both spoiled their only child. In 1992, Lucius bought broomsticks for the entire Slytherin Quidditch team when Draco was made Seeker, and Narcissa often sent care packages to her son. She also refused to send Draco further away from home by having him attend Durmstrang Institute, as Lucius originally wanted.
- "I haven't got any options! I've got to do it! He'll kill me! He'll kill my whole family!"
- —Draco to Dumbledore on Voldemort's threat to his family[src]
However, it soon became clear that the Malfoys care about one another than they cared for following Lord Voldemort. Draco carried out the task he was assigned by Voldemort in his sixth year because his parents' lives were threatened, and appeared to be close to accepting Dumbledore's offer to keep them safe before Severus Snape interceded to kill the Headmaster. During the Battle of Hogwarts, Lucius and Narcissa did not even attempt to fight, instead frantically searching for their son. Indeed, Narcissa lied directly to Voldemort about Harry Potter being dead in order to search for Draco.
Sometime after the end of the Second Wizarding War, Draco married Astoria Greengrass, the younger sister of Daphne Greengrass, a Slytherin in his year at Hogwarts. They eventually had a son, Scorpius Malfoy.
- "Honestly, if you were any slower, you'd be going backwards."
- —Draco to Gregory Goyle[src]
Draco's two constant companions in his Hogwarts years were Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle. However, Draco often made it clear that he considered both of them rather stupid – a legitimate claim – and treated them more like lackeys than friends. Crabbe and Goyle were often involved in Draco's confrontations with Harry Potter and his friends. By the final confrontation, in the Room of Requirement during the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco no longer exerted much control over his friends; Crabbe, in particular. He tried desperately to save them from the Fiendfyre Crabbe unleashed, pulling Goyle onto Ron and Hermione's broom himself before letting Harry fly the two of them out, and was very upset by Crabbe's death.
Pansy Parkinson, a Slytherin girl in Draco's year, appears to have been his girlfriend for some of his years at Hogwarts, often fawning over him. She showed great concern when Draco was injured by Buckbeak in their third year and accompanied him to the Yule Ball in 1994. Draco and Pansy were both members of the Inquisitorial Squad and Prefects in their fifth year, which is indicative of their leadership roles in Slytherin House. They are noted as being particularly cozy in their sixth year at Hogwarts. Sometime after this period, however, Pansy and Draco must have parted ways, as Draco eventually marries Astoria Greengrass.
Harry Potter
- Draco: "Manners, Potter, or I'll have to give you a detention. You see, I, unlike you, have been made prefect, which means that I, unlike you, have the power to hand out punishments."
- Harry: "Yeah, but you, unlike me, are a git, so get out and leave us alone."
- — Draco and Harry in their fifth year[src]
Draco became Harry Potter's rival almost immediately after they met, just before their first year at Hogwarts. Although Draco initially sought to be Harry's friend, his arrogant manner and insulting of Rubeus Hagrid put off Harry. Then, on the Hogwarts Express, Draco insulted Ron Weasley and offered Harry his friendship, which Harry turned down in favour of Ron's, thus cementing their enmity.
Harry and Draco would have many confrontations over the years, sometimes resulting in hexes being thrown. This reached its pinnacle after Lucius Malfoy was sent to Azkaban following the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, which Draco blamed Harry for. After finding out what Draco had gone through during their sixth year, Harry began to sympathize with him, a feeling intensified by witnessing Voldemort forcing Draco to do horrible things by threatening his parents. When Harry, Ron and Hermione were brought to Malfoy Manor by Snatchers, Draco showed great reluctance in identifying them, and in another confrontation in the Room of Requirement, he screamed at Crabbe not to kill them. Harry also saved Draco twice that day.
J.K. Rowling has confirmed that, as adults, Draco and Harry made their peace, but are still not friends.
The Weasley Family
- "Think my name's funny, do you? No need to ask who you are. My father told me all the Weasleys have red hair, freckles, and more children than they can afford."
- —Draco to Ron Weasley when they first meet[src]
The Malfoys generally looked down upon the Weasleys for their lack of wealth and "blood traitor" status, a sentiment Draco made clear immediately upon meeting Ron Weasley on the train to Hogwarts for their first year. He and Ron had a hostility that mirrored that of their fathers, often insulting one another and prone even to physical fights at times. Draco also wrote the lyrics to the demeaning song Weasley is Our King, which was meant to undermine Ron's abilities as a Keeper for the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
When Crabbe set the Room of Requirement on fire, Ron assisted Harry in pulling Draco and Goyle away along with Hermione, but with more reluctance. When he and his friends saved Draco again later that day from a Death Eater he was pleading with, Ron punched him in the face and called him a "two-faced bastard". Although this enmity seems to have faded with age, Ron discouraged his daughter Rose from becoming friends with Draco's son.
- Ron: "Look who it is. So that's little Scorpius. Make sure you beat him in every test, Rosie. Thank God you inherited your mother's brains."
- Hermione: "Ron, for heaven's sake. Don't try to turn them against each other before they've even started school!"
- Ron: "You're right, sorry. Don't get too friendly with him, though, Rosie. Granddad Weasley would never forgive you if you married a pureblood."
- — the Malfoy-Weasley rivalry in 2017[src]
Draco had less interaction with other members of the Weasley family. Fred and George made sure to hex Draco, along with other members of the Inquisitorial Squad, when they left Hogwarts. Ginny also had a few hostile encounters with Draco, most notably hitting him with a Bat-Bogey Hex when the Inquisitorial Squad tried to hold her, Ron, Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood in 1996.
Hermione Granger
- Draco: "Good, aren't they? But perhaps the Gryffindor team will be able to raise some gold and get new brooms, too. You could raffle off those Cleansweep 5's, I expect a museum would bid for them."
- Hermione: "At least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in. They got in on pure talent."
- Draco: "No one asked your opinion, you filthy little Mudblood."
- — after Draco becomes Slytherin Seeker and taunts the Gryffindor team[src]
Draco's relationship with Hermione Granger was coloured before the two even met. Draco was raised to believe in the inferiority of Muggle-borns, and by his second year, his father had told him he should be ashamed that Hermione beat him in school marks. Thus, Draco often taunted Hermione, calling her the derogatory epithet "Mudblood", but she refused to be bullied. Although Hermione generally ignored Draco rather than getting into fights with him like Harry and Ron, occasionally the two would exchange sharp words and, in their third year, Hermione even slapped Draco for insulting Hagrid. Despite his dislike for and prejudice towards Hermione, Draco still demonstrated reluctance to identify her to his aunt Bellatrix, avoiding even looking at her.
In 2017, when Ron encouraged their daughter not to associate with Draco's son, Hermione expressed a more conciliatory attitude.
Behind The Scenes
- The character is played by Tom Felton.
- His name, like many members of the Black family, is after a constellation. Draco is also a Latin word that translates as "dragon", and an ancient Greek word for "serpent". In addition, Draco was the name of an Ancient Greek legislator whose laws were notoriously harsh, from which the word draconian is derived.
- He would have attended Durmstrang Institute, a school that only admits pure-bloods and teaches the Dark Arts, but his mother didn't want him staying so far away from home.

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper is preparing to unveil his budget proposal for next year, and schools and health care officials will be watching.
The Democratic governor planned Thursday to release his annual proposal for the state's next fiscal year that begins July 1. Lawmakers will make their own proposal next year.
Colorado's improving economy during the past year has helped budget-writers. Lawmakers this year were spared making some drastic cuts to schools and other state services because tax receipts picked up.
State budget director Henry Sobanet told lawmakers in September that current tax projections could allow more money for schools. He also said Hickenlooper would likely be asking for more funding for Medicaid.

Hello Pali friends,
First of all, I would like to share an excerpt from an interview with Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi -
BB: Any language, I have found, has an underlying conceptual scheme built into it by the metaphors that govern its vocabulary and by the connotations and nuances of its words. Thus in translating from one language into another, one is always faced with the problem of dissonance between their two underlying conceptual schemes. This leads to conflicts that often can only be resolved by sacrificing important conceptual connections in the original language for the sake of elegance or intelligibility in the target language. This problem becomes all the more acute when one is translating from an ancient language utilizing a somewhat archaic set of conceptual metaphors into a modern language pertaining to a very different culture.
We can see this problem in some of the simplest Pali words. For instance, the word samadhi can be translated as "concentration, composure, collectedness, mental unification, etc.," but none of these renderings convey the idea that samadhi denotes a specific meditative state, or set of meditative states, in the Buddhist (and broader Indian) system of spiritual cultivation. Even the word sati, rendered mindfulness, isn't unproblematic. The word derives from a verb, sarati, meaning "to remember," and occasionally in Pali sati is still explained in a way that connects it with the idea of memory. But when it is used in relation to meditation practice, we have no word in English that precisely captures what it refers to. An early translator cleverly drew upon the word mindfulness, which is not even in my dictionary. This has served its role admirably, but it does not preserve the connection with memory, sometimes needed to make sense of a passage.
Satipatthana is often translated "foundation of mindfulness," which sounds elegant; but if one knows Pali one might suspect that the compound represents not sati + patthana (which gives us "foundation of mindfulness"), but sati + upatthana, "establishment of mindfulness" (the u dropping off through union of vowels). Then, if one knows the texts in the original, one will have encountered a number of phrases that pair sati with words related to upatthana, such as upatthitassati, "one with mindfulness established," but no other phrases that pair it with forms related to patthana. And this would confirm the case for "establishment of mindfulness" over "foundation of mindfulness." However more graceful the latter might sound, the accent is on the internal process of setting mindfulness up rather than on the object to which it applies.
There's no word 'paṭṭhāna' in early texts, it first appears in later literature, in title of the 7th book of the Abhidhamma, also called Mahāpakaraṇa.
One of the phrases which pair sati with word related to upaṭṭhāna is well-known:
'parimukhaṃ satiṃ upaṭṭhapetvā' - 'having established remembrance near the mouth'.
Patisambhidamagga describes all four satipaṭṭhānas:
Kāyo upaṭṭhānaṃ, no sati; sati upaṭṭhānañceva sati ca. Tāya satiyā tena ñāṇena taṃ kāyaṃ anupassati. Tena vuccati – ''kāye kāyānupassanāsatipaṭṭhānabhāvanā''ti.
Vedanā upaṭṭhānaṃ, no sati; sati upaṭṭhānañceva sati ca. Tāya satiyā tena ñāṇena taṃ vedanaṃ anupassati. Tena vuccati – ''vedanāsu vedanānupassanāsatipaṭṭhānabhāvanā''ti.
Cittaṃ upaṭṭhānaṃ, no sati; sati upaṭṭhānañceva sati ca. Tāya satiyā tena ñāṇena taṃ cittaṃ anupassati. Tena vuccati – ''citte cittānupassanāsatipaṭṭhānabhāvanā''ti.
Dhammā upaṭṭhānaṃ, no sati; sati upaṭṭhānañceva sati ca. Tāya satiyā tena ñāṇena te dhamme anupassati. Tena vuccati – ''dhammesu dhammānupassanāsatipaṭṭhānabhāvanā''ti.
In relation with Anapanasati, the Commentary notes:
Pakatiassāsapakatipassāse nissāya uppannanimittampi assāsapassāsāti nāmaṃ labhati. Upaṭṭhānaṃ satīti taṃ ārammaṇaṃ upecca tiṭṭhatīti sati upaṭṭhānaṃ nāma.
'Sati upaṭṭhāna' means that 'sati', having approached, stays on that basis of concentration (ārammaṇa) (i.e. the perceptual image (nimitta) which has arisen due to natural in-and-out-breath).
Patisambhidamagga-Atthakatha 2.509
Therefore, the compound satipaṭṭhāna consists of two words, 'sati' and 'upaṭṭhāna', which can be translated as '(way of) establishing remembrance'.
