Jive Drive
this wiki
Jive Drive is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. There is no boss for the mission, which is activated at Escobar International Airport.
Aunt Enid says that some help is coming to Vice City from a family member. However, when you arrive at the airport it isn't the person you quite expected...It's your younger brother Lance Vance, who always gets you into trouble. After a brief argument, Vic decides to take Lance in with you.
The Mission
As you and Lance drive away from the airport in your red Stinger, a Cholo Sabre will drive in front of you, a Cholo member will get out and say that "you killed plenty Cholos, now we kill you plenty".
Lance will take the wheel and you'll have to defend the car. A damage bar will show up on the side of your screen; if it empties, the car will blow up. Now, when you see a Cholo or Cholo Sabre approach, shoot at it until you kill it or blow it up. Eventually, Lance will accidentally drive off a ramp and you will land in Little Havana.
Now, beware, since this section of Little Havana is under control of Cholos and there will be triple the Cholos there were before, one might even come in a Trashmaster to block the street, if you don't shoot the driver off the Trashmaster, Lance will accidentally strike the Trashmaster and you'll take damage. Soon enough you'll be in Little Haiti, which is under control of both Cabrones and Cholos, and there are more Cholos around here. As Lance drives along the road, two Cholos on Sanchez bikes will appear. Eventually, Lance will drive off another ramp and crash the car, setting it on fire, in a cutscene you will get off the car as it explodes.
Now you'll be on foot and at least twenty Cholos will come after you, kill them all and you'll get a two-star wanted level. Get on one of the Cholo Sabres that are parked nearby and drive Lance to his hotel, along the way, you'll have to avoid surviving Cholos and the cops.
Drop off Lance in his hotel and the mission is over.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Fight off those attackers while Lance drives
- Kill those remaining attackers. Lance must survive
- The attackers are all wasted! Now take Lance to his hotel
Post mission pager message
Umberto Robina: So you're running Marty's gang now. We need to talk...
- The level introduces a continuity error; no matter which vehicle you arrive in at the airport, it will always transform into a red Stinger.
- Only in this mission that you can see the Coach traveling the streets, since the Coach only comes in a single spawn point, located in InterGlobal Studios.
- The first portion of the mission is similar to the mission Just Business in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, complete with the driver performing reckless jumping stunts while the player tries to shoot at targets. Just Business also features a shootout with multiple targets while protecting another character, only it occurs at the start of the mission.
- When you start to shoot the Cholos, the car's radio will be tuned in to Fresh FM and the song "It's Like That" by Run-DMC will always play.
- Even if you have wanted stars and are being chased by VCPD Cruisers, Enforcers, Cheetahs or FBI Washingtons, your wanted stars and pursuers disappear.
- This is the only mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, where the player is riding on passenger seat.
- After Lance jumps the car over a fence, his and Victor's reaction,"OHHHHH SHIIIT" is similar to Salvatore's in Driving Mr. Leone after Toni jumps a ramp in Callahan Bridge.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Gereena feeling Confidant I had never heard of this product, but I decided to try it anyway. It's wonderful!! Not "sicky sweet" smelling, but like a soft summer breeze. I will continue to buy it. I also think it is a great gift for someone to give on Mother's day. February 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mary Sue Smells Great I love the smell. June 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Janeite Soft and a Little Spicy, Yet Floral This is the most beautiful and soft fragrance I have ever used! Lovely quality down to the the little tin package! March 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Alice from Texas BlueBell talcum powder is wonderful. This is the second time I have ordered this talcum powder. I use it along with the BlueBell toilette spray. It smells amazing. I must admit I tried it because it was a favorite of Princess Diana. But I now use it because it is a favorite of mine. March 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by tx granny Rough Start I was troubled with the condition of the powder when first received; bent canister, loose powder in the package. But I returned it for replacement, and am thrilled with the corrected shipment. The powder is a little pricey, but the scent is wonderful (soft, fresh floral). I am very happy with this product. December 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Cozygal Light, ethereal fragrance! Very reminiscent of something my British grandmother had. My sister and I still talk about her delightful scents from our childhood-and this is great. I am going to order the cologne after the holidays. The clean, fresh floral with slight spicy under notes is a wonderful change from some of the musky, modern scents. December 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Santas helper Treat yourself! I bought this for myself as a treat, since it is really pretty pricey for such a small container of talc. I figured that since it is from Penhaligon's, it was a quality product and it is. The label is really beautiful and the talc smells so good. Sometimes you just have to treat yourself!! December 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by EE Love this! I wanted to try this scent, but didn't want to purchase the cologne and then not like it (expensive), so I got the talc, which is nice in the summer in Ohio. Love the light, flowery scent. Will be asking for the cologne for my birthday in September! July 2, 2013

A Fort Carson soldier has been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting his girlfriend, putting his infant son in danger in the process.
John Allen Dupree, 27, is being held on a $50,000 bond at the Fremont County Detention Center on charges of domestic violence, sexual assault, unlawful sexual contact, false imprisonment and child abuse.
Authorities in Fremont County say the couple was at the home of the victims parents on November 23 when the two sexual assaults occurred. Dupree was arrested Thursday after the victim reported the assaults to Fort Carson. Military police made the arrest after the Fremont County Sheriff's Office obtained an arrest warrant.

Beyond the Wall
this wiki
- "There are no laws beyond the Wall."
- ―Karl
It is inhabited by tribes that refer to themselves as the "Free Folk", known by the people of the Seven Kingdoms as wildlings. The wildlings themselves are not politically unified but consist of numerous and diverse groups. Many are semi-nomadic hunters, due to the impracticality of agriculture in the far north. Some wildlings are little more than savage and primitive raiders, but other groups live in small settled communities and villages.
The lands Beyond the Wall are mostly uncharted. The region immediately north of the Wall includes the Haunted Forest, a vast taiga-forest which covers most of the area, extending from the Wall to the furthest uncharted north.
The forest extends from the eastern coast to a large mountain chain in the west known as the Frostfangs. The Frostfangs extend an unknown distance to the north and are quite inhospitable. However, there are rumors that even the northern Frostfangs contain hidden valleys, heated by volcanic activity, which are actually the most hospitable regions north of the Wall, and heavily settled by the wildlings.
Southwest of the Frostfangs there is a narrow strip of land between the mountains and the sea known as the Frozen Shore, a harsh area inhabited by fierce and primitive warriors who frequently cross the Bay of Ice to raid the lands in the North sworn to House Stark. This small area is totally enclosed by the Frostfangs, which run southeast to northwest, and the ocean.
Beyond all of these areas, in the furthest north are the Lands of Always Winter. The forest ends and gives way to these truly polar regions, which are unexplored. The White Walkers are rumored to originate in the depths of the Lands of Always Winter.
The wildlings living north of The Wall have a hardscrabble, survival-based economy, with little settled agriculture. Most of their economic activity is fixated on hunting and gathering: they live to catch what they can eat, and they eat whatever they can catch. They use no official currency, as they are more interested in obtaining things that are directly useful to them, and thus function on the barter system.[1]
However, the wildlings do engage in at least some long-distance trade: the heavy furs of local animals adapted to the harsh cold of the extreme north are fairly valuable, and they often trade them to passing smuggler ships in exchange for iron weapons, which they cannot forge on their own. In past centuries the Night's Watch tried to stop the fur-for-iron trade along the coasts, but in recent centuries as their numbers dwindled they abandoned any attempts to prevent passage around the Wall by sea.
Notable locations
- Haunted Forest
- The Fist of the First Men
- The Frostfangs
- The Milkwater
- Lands of Always Winter
- Frozen Shore
Notable inhabitants
- {Craster}, an unsavory ally of the Night's Watch, killed by Karl during a mutiny.
- Mance Rayder, the King-Beyond-the-Wall, leader of the Free Folk and feared opponent of the Night's Watch.
- Lord of Bones, a wildling leader and a fearsome raider.
- Tormund, called Tormund Giantsbane, a wildling leader and one of Mance Rayder's most trusted lieutenants.
- Orell, a wildling raider and a Warg
- Ygritte, a Free Folk Spearwife and lover of Jon Snow
In the books
Author George R.R. Martin has stated that the land-area inhabited by the Free Folk beyond the Wall is vast, roughly the size of Canada: "There's actually quite a lot of Westeros north of the Wall, it's a large expanse of land, probably as large as Canada."[2]

Income Distribution
Key Findings
Exhibit 5-1 shows the distribution of household income by income quintile. Each quintile represents 20% of Seattle households.
Income has shifted little among the upper three quintiles from 2010 to 2011. In 2010, the top 20% highest income households accounted for 52.0% of Seattle income. In 2011, the highest income households accounted for 51.8% of income, with an absolute decrease of 0.2%. In the 4th income quintile, 2011 households accounted for 23.4% of Seattle income, 0.9% higher than in 2010. In 2009, income distribution was higher in all categories except for the 3rd and 5th quintiles (Ex. 5-1).
Seattle median household income was $52,048 in 2011, about 15% higher than the US median income of $45,00. Seven of eight population groups in Seattle have higher median incomes than their national counterparts (Ex. 5-2).
(8) Median income by race estimates reflect 2011 1-year averages for the Seattle MSA area. 2011 5-year averages for the City of Seattle will be released by the American Community Survey in December, 2012.

Making a Difference
WHS Leads Responsible Removal of the Navy Annex in Arlington, VA
The Navy Annex facility, located in Arlington, VA, has served a worthy purpose as the Headquarters of the Marine Corps and a workplace for many Department of Defense (DoD) personnel throughout its 70-year history. The land on which the building sits is now slated for another honorable purpose in support of Arlington National Cemetery. WHS is leading the effort to prepare and transfer over 42 acres of land to the Secretary of the Army.
On August 27, 2012, the contract for the demolition of the Navy Annex was awarded to Corinthian Contractors, Inc. and DSI, a Joint Venture. The demolition team, overseen by WHS facilities and acquisition experts, is ahead of schedule in the demolition project and is applying environmentally sustainable practices to recycle and re-purpose much of the building materials. The team is also using proven practices to bring down each of the Navy Annex's seven wings and headhouse in a manner that is minimally invasive to nearby neighborhoods.
WHS engaged the local community and DoD, local, and state government partners early on in this effort to effectively communicate the plans, schedule, and any impacts up front. WHS leaders, along with members of the Joint Venture team and Arlington County representatives, held a Community Meeting with residents of the nearby communities in November 2012 to provide details and answer questions about the project.
Demolition and land preparation activities are expected to be complete by September 2013. WHS is committed to regularly communicating with the community and partners throughout the duration of the effort.
For more information about the Navy Annex demolition and land transfer project, please visit our Demolition of the Navy Annex site.Read More

Santa Monica, CA - July 18, 2006 — Industry veterans Craig Farkas & Tanya Hunger have partnered to form Instant Karma Films, the first totally green commercial production company. With a wealth of global production knowledge and experience along with a passion for the commercial making process, Craig and Tanya have set their sights on attracting the top talent to their environmentally and socially responsible, new bi-coastal New York and Santa Monica-based company.
Going beyond the normal constrains of the traditional production company with their eco-friendly initiatives, Instant Karma hopes to inspire others to follow suit. The two partners have embarked on a campaign to encourage industry related vendors as well as the entire production community to reduce their carbon output. Partnering with American Forests, a world leader in planting trees for environmental restoration and Carbonfund.org, a nonprofit organization that educates the public about the dangers of climate change and makes it easy and affordable for individuals, businesses and organizations to reduce their climate impact, Instant karma will plant at least 10,000 trees this year, offset their carbon footprint and donate a percentage of profits towards environmental and social causes.
Quality, integrity and a "no attitude" guarantee is the company mantra, offering a diverse group of award winning creative talent to service the multiplatform needs of the global advertising community. The shop launches with award winning comedy/visualist/clips director Maxime Giroux; photographer/director Achim Lippoth, world renowned as one of the best child photographers and 2006 Clio and Cannes Lions winner (print); and director/designer Jesse Jacobs, formerly with Anonymous Content.

If you want a counter to be truely effective, it needs to happen in the Rankup phase before the open/startphase.
Units with a Rankup condition could work, but maybe there's a way to play Grimoires with a Rankup condition aswell?.. Meet certain requirements on the field/Spherelvls/whatever to have an effect in the Rankup phase.
Wether Returning is balanced or not isn't even the biggest issue. When half of the Top10 suggestions in a suggestion forum are about changing/banning/countering returning, that's an undeniable sign it's not enjoyable gameplay for a large(st) group of your playerbase.
Control can be so much more enjoyable and better to the gameplay then this returning or engaging fest.
Why on earth keep more people frustrated then satisfied. Why on earth do you nerf everything around 1 mechanic even the people PLAYING it hate? I can only imagine the designteam has no idea's on how to move forward or backwards. Which is a real pitty...
Want basic ideas? Units with "Friendlies on Spot -X- get MHP/Agi/Atk/Rng/etc". "V formation (spot 2-4-6) gives bonus X. Y formation (2-5-7-9) gives bonus Z". "Unit(s) on Spot -X- get Rng=0/Engaged/Agi=0/HP-20/etc". "Closed unit on Spot 9 can't be ressed". "Do [dmg: Atk target unit] to Unit in collumn behind." "Chose a unit in 257. You get SP = Spot - Base Lvl of chosen unit". And that's fieldpositioning stuff. Don't get me started on stat switching ala Snaf/Noze! A whole world of control opens when you can reorganizing stats on a field. Clone HP, switch Def values with a stat, switch Atk between enemies, turn Rng around, go crazy?
Balance is up to testing, but coming up with mechanics that are a ton more fun then simply 'click to send away' should be damn easy. Stop hitting around the ff'in bush with OwlSage Rng or Mirelia MHP nerfs and actually start making changes?

Woman of Valor, Roses, small, alabaster matte, framed
Beautifully illuminated roses add a classic elegance to the biblical quote ( Proverbs 31:10-31 ) that is traditionally sung by a husband to his wife on Friday night. The Woman of Valor is a wonderful gift from a husband to wife for an anniversary, engagement or wedding gift. It is also an excellent presentation gift to honor a woman of valor.

President Obama maintains a lead in Colorado, but voters now have a better impression of Mitt Romney than they did before Wednesday night's debate, according to a new poll by the University of Denver.
According to the poll, Obama's lead among likely voters is 47-43, within the margin of error. His lead among independent voters is more substantial, 48-31.
Thirty-eight percent of responders said they have an improved impression of Romney after the debate, which Colorado voters said he won by a large margin, 68-19. Eighteen percent said their view of Obama improved.
University of Denver political science professor Peter Hanson said that the polls indicate that there are "very few undecided voters left in Colorado," with only 6 percent saying they could be persuaded to vote for another candidate. Eighty-eight percent have their minds made up, and 5 percent of responders say they don't favor either candidate.
Hanson said among undecided voters, Romney has improved his chances of winning them over since the debate, based on poll results.
When asked to describe why they would vote for their candidate, 67 percent of Obama supporters and 71 percent of Romney supporters said they believe their candidate is the best person for the job. Thirty-one percent of Obama supporters say out of the two, Obama is the one they can most easily live with; 27 percent of Romney supporters say the same.
The poll was conducted on October 4 and 5 by phone with 604 Coloradans of voting age. Only likely voters were surveyed. Respondents were contacted on both landlines and cell phones.

Republican Pat McCrory is signing his first bill as North Carolina governor.
McCrory planned to put his signature on a law Monday morning in Asheboro that requires the State Board of Education develop by the fall of 2014 new diplomas that make clear a student is ready for college, ready a vocational career, or both. The bill received final approval from the General Assembly last week.
McCrory was scheduled to visit Randolph Community College's industrial center for the bill signing. The bill's primary sponsor is from Randolph County.
The bill also tells the state board to look at ways to make it easier to license vocational and technical teachers.
The new law fits well into McCrory's campaign platform about public schools preparing students for the work world.

MIAMI (AP) -- Tropical Storm Jerry is weakening as it swirls over the Atlantic.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center says the storm's maximum sustained winds early Tuesday have decreased to near 45 mph (75 kph). But forecasters say some fluctuations in strength are possible over the next two days.
The storm is centered about 1,310 miles (2,110 kilometers) east of Bermuda and is nearly stationary. A slow, erratic motion is expected during the day.
Jerry is the 10th tropical storm of the Atlantic season.

Using a special printing process, skilled craftsmen create the effect of random coloring, making each rug slightly different. The wool pile is then cut in varying heights for a hand-knotted look, and a luster wash is added for softness. The result is a rug that's a unique work of art.

Hello from Pam Washington
Des Moines Radio Group Director of Sales
Hi there. If you're here, you probably have ideas about goals for your business. Maybe you're meeting them, maybe not. Either way, I'd be interested in hearing more.
This is where the pitch usually come in, right? You've probably had media sales people walk through the door with big smiles and lengthy pitches about their stations. They show you where they're #1 in some outmoded ratings system, and they try to sell you a one-size-fits-all radio package of spots.
I need to explain that we don't do that, because radio may or may not be the right vehicle for helping you accomplish your specific goals. That's why each member of our staff receives on-going training and holds three or more certifications in media and marketing.
They don't work for me or commissions, they work for you. We train our staff to think strategically and focus on delivering results for your business in and out of radio. It's a unique approach, but our clients agree, it's an approach that delivers results.
We'd like to know more about you to see if we can help you meet your goals, too. I've left few quick questions for you below. The information you share here is confidential, but if you'd rather talk with me personally, I understand. When you have a moment, I hope you'll call or e-mail me directly, and we'll talk whenever it's convenient for you.
I'm looking forward to hearing where you are in your business, and discovering what we might do to help you meet your goals.
Best Regards,
Pam Washington

At the premiere of the much anticipated Bret Easton Ellis-penned film, The Canyons (held at Lincoln Center), veteran director Paul Schrader explained the controversy the film has generated since production: "The phenomenon of Lindsay Lohan makes normal people do stupid things."
Not even the New York Times was immune to the excitement of seeing Lohan back on the screen, as a story following the production of the Kickstarter-funded low budget indie became an exposé of her antics throughout filming. Schrader later added, you can "shoot around bad behavior, but Lindsay's just magic," and the sole reason you should be hitting IFC Center this weekend (or iTunes, Vod, Xbox and other digital platforms August 9th). Her performance in this seedy, semi-erotic, Hollywood noir reminds you why she's continued to fascinate the public, years past her expiration date as just another child star gone wrong.
Plot wise, we get a classic Easton Ellisian world of unlikeable, duplicitous characters doing bad things to each other, caught in the trappings of the B-movie business. The cast is led by real-life pornstar James Deen as a sexually adventurous low level movie producer, who unknowingly casts his girlfriend's (Lohan) former love (hunky Nolan Funk) as the star of his next slasher film.
In The Canyons, Schrader also explores his idea of "post apocalyptic cinema," suggesting the death of film's mass-viewing. To illustrate, Schrader gave us stills of abandoned movie houses that could be taken straight out of the horror film Deen might be making, or symbolic of the world of soulless zombies his characters are inhabiting. Lohan is in her "Angie Dickinson/Gena Rowlands" stage, the director later remarked. Leaving her ingenue stage behind, she's a revelation in The Canyons. One only hopes that this means she'll never suffer through another Lifetime or Scary Movie campfest again.

Helpful Notes:
Inside mounted roller shades will have an approximate 1" vertical "light gap" between the edge of the fabric and the window casing on side with the cord loop, and a ½" light gap on the other side. This is because the fabric must be cut narrower than the operating mechanisms at the top. If this is not acceptable, consider:
--adding drapery panels to cover the light gaps --choosing an outside mounted roller shade with at least 2 ½" of overlap on each side --selecting a different product, such as a Honeycomb Shade which will have smaller light gaps of up to 1/4" on each side.

By Rabbi Burton L. Visotzky | Appleman Professor of Midrash and Interreligious Studies, Louis Stein Director of the Louis Finkelstein Institute for Religious and Social Studies, Director of the Milstein Center for Interreligious Dialogue, JTS
posted on November 7, 1997 / 7 Heshvan 5758
I was honored when Chancellor Schorsch asked me to fill in for him and write a d'var torah on Parashat Lech Lecha, because for this one week each year he and I areLandsmann. The word, in German or Yiddish, denotes compatriots, fellow countrymen. My own family ancestry traces back to Byelorussia, my grandparents hailing from Minsk and Pinsk. The Chancellor comes, as his readers surely know, from Germany. But each of us share a patrimony in this week's Torah reading, for Parashat Lech Lecha was the bar mitzvah portion each of us chanted in our respective congregations all those many years ago.
The Torah reading itself focuses on just what it means to be Landsmann. It sketches the ties of place and family. These two anchors hold Abraham and his nephew Lot fast to one another. But as with all families, the ties that bind are sometimes restrictive and at other times a lifeline. And, as is often the case in the Promised Land, ties of place often create as much trouble as they do a sense of security and rootedness.
The action of the parasha is set in three differing locales. The scene opens with God's call to Abraham while our revered ancestor is yet in his birthplace, his homeland, his father's house, Kharan. While he goes from there to Canaan, the land God promises him, famine quickly drives him to Egypt. All this travel takes place in the very first chapter of the Torah reading. And through it all, Abraham faithfully brings his nephew Lot, his late brother's son, along with him. Young Lot has a chance to see the world under the aegis of his Uncle Abraham.
When they finally settle in the land of Canaan, the need for pasturage leads to bickering and forces the family apart. Abraham graciously offers Lot his choice of property and Lot picks the part that looks richest for his flocks. The Torah tells us his chosen portion was as fertile as "the garden of God, like Egypt." This might give us a clue that not all will be well with Lot's choice. Indeed, Lot's lot, as it were, is in Sodom and Gomorrah, even then a nasty neighborhood. It will be a while yet before those towns are destroyed, but this week's parasha has action enough. Certain local chieftains raid the town and take Lot captive. Uncle Abraham rallies his own troops and rescues his nephew.
The Torah reading ends with a curious turn of events. All the action and travel might have led one to expect that Lot would become Abraham's heir. Instead, with the connivance of Sarah, Abraham fathers a son with his Egyptian concubine and the Torah reading's denouement shows us Abraham and his son undergoing the covenantal ritual of circumcision. Abraham's Landsmann, Lot, his blood relative who hails from his home town, does not succeed him as his heir.
We may well wonder what went wrong. I suspect that in the end, Lot disappointed his uncle. When he was given a choice of property, he made a bad decision. Rather than focus on the spiritual potential of his patrimony, Lot looked instead to property values. He chose bad neighbors. In the end, those bad neighbors not only caused him the trouble of a kidnaping, but caused him to watch his house and hold go up in smoke when God rained fire and brimstone onto the town. Uncle Abraham interceded for him when he was taken captive, and again when God sought to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. But Lot's bad choices rent the fabric of their Landsmannschaft; they ceased to be compatriots.
Father Abraham, for all his flaws, consistently chose God over property. His faith led him to inherit the land of promise, to gain wealth and fame. Unlike Lot who ignored his community, Abraham worked to create a community dedicated to God and to one another. Lot and his family disappeared, the Bible dismisses them with a crude story smearing their offspring. And father Abraham, in choosing God, left a legacy that keeps us all his Landsmann to this very day.

Carol Grace Anderson will get women fired up at Vol State fundraiser
Submitted on April 11, 2011 at 3:24 PM
Finding the energy to raise a family, have a career and stay happy and motivated can be a challenge for anyone. Carol Grace Anderson wants to help women get fired up, without burning out. That's the message she will bring to the Volunteer State College Foundation "Educate a Woman" luncheon in April.
Anderson lived in a tiny 18-foot trailer as a child, surrounded by circus performers. After flunking out of three colleges, she was determined enough to earn a Bachelor's Degree, followed by a Master's Degree in counseling from New York University.
She taught Psychology and Life Skills in a New York prison for five years, and then moved to Nashville after being offered a music opportunity. When she got to Music City, she quickly started performing with a who's who of entertainers, including Willie Nelson, Roy Clark, Jimmy Buffett, Johnny Cash, and Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees. As an award-winning songwriter, Anderson has had over 40 of her songs recorded.
Fifteen years ago, she became a sought-after speaker and best-selling author. Anderson is a successful motivational expert and host of her own online show: "Get Fired UP!" She's been published in four languages and also contributed to the mega-bestseller "Chicken Soup For The Soul" series.
The "Educate a Woman" luncheon will be held on Friday, April 29 at 11 a.m. at the Bluegrass Country Club in Hendersonville. While there is no charge for the event, attendees are asked to make a donation during the lunch. All proceeds go to fund student scholarships for women at Vol State. Ms. Sue's Med Spa is the Summa Cum Laude sponsor. To RSVP or to find out more about sponsorship opportunities call 615-230-3526 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com

- "See this? See this? Know what it is? Know where it came from? Centuries it's been in our family, that's how far back we go, and pure-blood all the way! Know how much I've been offered for this, with the Peverell coat of arms engraved on the stone?"
- —Marvolo Gaunt brandishing his ring at Bob Ogden[src]
While at Hogwarts, Tom openly wore the ring. He later made the ring into his second Horcrux. Tom did not enchant the ring right away, as he was seen wearing it while asking Horace Slughorn about Horcruxes, as seen through Slughorn's memories in a pensieve.
In 1996, Albus Dumbledore retrieved the ring, eventually destroying it with Godric Gryffindor's Sword.
The ring is gold and set with a large, cracked, black stone, the crack appearing after Dumbledore struck the stone with Godric Gryffindor's Sword. It is, in Harry's eyes, an ugly ring that was made somewhat clumsily out of gold, probably a testament to the rudimentary skills and tools used to craft it. The ring had the sign of the Deathly Hallows on the black stone it, a triangle (to represent the Cloak of Invisibility) with a circle (the Resurrection Stone, which, conveniently enough, is the black stone in the ring) and a line through it (the Elder Wand). Marvolo Gaunt wore it on his middle finger.
To protect his Horcrux, Tom Riddle placed the ring under a very powerful curse, so much so that Albus Dumbledore himself mentioned that had it not been for his prodigious skill, he might have died in mere moments of being cursed. Severus Snape was extremely angry to find out Dumbledore had not proceeded with caution when it came to breaking open the ring. Even so, Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape were only able to delay the curse's effects for roughly a year. Unknown to either the Gaunts or Riddle, however, the stone in it was the Resurrection Stone, one of the Deathly Hallows.
Peverell possession
The ring's story begins (and ends) with its black stone. The stone happened to be the Resurrection Stone, one of the Deathly Hallows of legend, and had the symbol of the Deathly Hallows engraved on its surface. According to The Tale of the Three Brothers, Cadmus Peverell, the middle brother, asked Death for the power to return people from the dead. Death supposedly picked up a black stone from the nearby river bank and gave it to Cadmus, promising him that it contained the power he had requested.
Once Cadmus returned to his home, he took out the Resurrection Stone and turned it over in his hand three times. In doing so, he brought back his lover who had suffered an untimely death. While she did return from the dead, she was not truly alive and wished to go back to the world of the dead since she no longer belonged in the living world. For Cadmus, it was like being able to see her but not able to touch her or truly be with her. Seeing the stone's limitations drove Cadmus to madness, and he took his own life to truly join his love in death.
Gaunt family possession
- "Marvolo Gaunt was an ignorant old git who lived like a pig, all he cared about was his ancestry. If that ring had been passed down through the centuries, he might not have known what it really was. There were no books in that house, and trust me, he wasn't the type to read fairy tales to his kids. He'd had loved to think that scratches on the stone were a coat of arms, because as far as he was concerned, having pure blood made you practically royal."
- —Harry Potter on Gaunt's ignorance of the Hallows, despite possessing one of them[src]
The stone passed down Cadmus' family line. At some point, it was placed into a gold setting and made into a ring. The ring continued to be passed down the family line, eventually ending up in the hands of the Gaunts. Marvolo Gaunt, the family's patriarch at the time, prized this ring (along with Salazar Slytherin's Locket) more than anything (even his own daughter, Merope). When the family was visited by Ministry of Magic official Bob Ogden, Marvolo waved the ring in front of his face in an attempt to impress and intimidate Ogden. When Marvolo and his son Morfin Gaunt were arrested and imprisoned for assaulting Muggles and Ministry officials, his daughter Merope Gaunt abandoned the family to escape the mental torture her father continuously employed against her, taking Salazar Slytherin's Locket with her.
When Marvolo returned home, he had expected to find his daughter dutifully awaiting his return. What he found however was a house covered with an inch of dust and a note from Merope explaining what she had done and why. Marvolo died shortly thereafter, either due to his inability to take care of himself or the weakening of his strength from Azkaban. The signet ring passed to Morfin when he was finally released from Azkaban, and he continued to wear it in his delusional state for several years afterward.
Tom Riddle's possession
Some years later, Tom Marvolo Riddle returned to Little Hangleton to seek out his family. He had been expecting to meet Marvolo, but instead found the half-crazed Morfin in the Gaunt shack. Morfin remarked how Riddle looked very much like the muggle that had married his sister, Tom Riddle Sr.. He told Riddle how Riddle Sr. had abandoned Merope and returned to his parents' home, the Riddle House. Upon learning of his father's abandonment (and thus feeling that he had caused Merope's death), Riddle stunned Morfin and took his wand. He then proceeded to the Riddle House to confront his father. Frank Bryce, the Riddle's gardener, remarked later that he had seen Riddle ascending the hill toward the house. Riddle used a common spell to unlock the door and entered the house. Once inside, Riddle found his father, as well as his grandparents, Thomas Riddle and Mary Riddle, in the drawing room. Riddle then used the Killing Curse on his father and Muggle grandparents.
It is unknown if there were any words exchanged between them before the actual murders took place, but what is certain is that the Riddles were found dead in their drawing room, looking shocked. Riddle returned to the Gaunt shack and modified Morfin's memory to make him believe that he had killed the Riddles himself. Riddle replaced Morfin's wand on his person but absconded with the ring. When Morfin was arrested by the Ministry and found guilty of the Riddle murders, he was carted off to Azkaban for good this time. As he was being taken away, he continuously remarked that his father would kill him for losing the ring.
Riddle openly wore the ring at Hogwarts after these events, as seen on his hand in a memory provided by Potions Master Horace Slughorn. Riddle then questioned Slughorn about Horcruxes, particularly what would happen to the wizard that created more than one. By this point, Riddle had already created his first Horcrux, his childhood diary, with the murder of a fellow student named Myrtle. At some point shortly before or after his graduation from Hogwarts, Riddle used the murder of his father, Tom Riddle Sr. to turn the ring into a Horcrux. After that, he lost interest in wearing it any longer and chose to return it to the very place he had stolen it from: the Gaunt shack. He placed the ring inside a golden box and hid it beneath the shack's rotting floorboards. He then set up many protective enchantments to deter outsiders from entering the shack and finding the ring. He also placed a powerful curse on the ring as well, one that would quickly lead to the death of the ring's wearer if not stemmed. The ring was left there in the ruin of the Gaunt shack for many decades to come.
Destruction by Albus Dumbledore
In 1996, Albus Dumbledore continued investigating Riddle's obsession with immortality and his fascination with Horcruxes. Dumbledore suspected that a good place to look for one of Riddle's Horcruxes would be the Gaunt shack, considering its importance to Riddle's past. Dumbledore traveled to Little Hangleton and found the remains of the shack, hidden amongst many weeds and brush. Dumbledore succeeded in passing through the enchantments protecting the shack and discovered the golden box holding the ring beneath the shack's floorboards. He brought the sword of Godric Gryffindor with him as it now had the power to destroy Horcruxes since Harry had used it to kill the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, which imbued the blade with the Basilisk's venom.
However, Dumbledore recognised the symbol of the Deathly Hallows on the ring's black stone and recognised it as the Resurrection Stone, something for which Dumbledore had searched for the greater part of his life. Hoping to revive his dead family members (particularly his sister Ariana Dumbledore), he disregarded the ring's status as a Horcrux and put it on. This enacted the ring's deadly curse, and it began to quickly spread through Dumbledore's body, starting with the hand on which he had put the ring. Dumbledore got the ring off and used Godric Gryffindor's Sword to crack the Resurrection Stone, believing this might stop the curse from spreading.
While the act did destroy the ring as one of Riddle's Horcruxes, it did not stop the curse that was now quickly killing Dumbledore. He took the ring and quickly returned to Hogwarts, only surviving that long because of his prodigious skill, where Severus Snape intervened and was able to stem the curse (confining it to Dumbledore's hand), but only temporarily. Snape gave Dumbledore a prognosis of about a year, and told him the curse would eventually bring upon him a very painful and humiliating death. It was then that Dumbledore asked Snape to kill him when the right time came to spare him the painful death the curse would exact upon him otherwise. After some persuasion, Snape agreed to the plan (which was enacted at the climax of the Battle of the Astronomy Tower).
Placing the Resurrection Stone within the Golden SnitchBefore his death at Snape's hands, Dumbledore magically sealed the cracked Resurrection Stone inside the very Snitch Harry had caught at his first ever Quidditch match. The snitch read "I open at the close", and would only open and yield the Resurrection Stone to Harry when he was about to yield himself to death. After Dumbledore's death, Rufus Scrimgeour delivered the snitch to Harry, along with other possessions left to Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. During his quest for the Horcruxes, Harry riddled over the snitch, until he finally solved its mystery at the Battle of Hogwarts. As Harry was about to be "killed" by Voldemort, he placed the snitch to his lips and whispered "I am about to die", and it opened.
Harry then used the Resurrection Stone of Cadmus Peverell to bring back the spirits of James Potter, Lily Potter, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin. Their spirits comforted Harry as he walked toward his supposed doom and shielded Harry from the effects of the Dementors guarding the Death Eaters' camp in the forest. Upon reaching Voldemort's camp in the Forbidden Forest, Harry intentionally dropped the Resurrection Stone near Aragog's lair so as to prevent another from ever uniting the Deathly Hallows ever again. After Voldemort's defeat at Harry's hands, Harry told Dumbledore's portrait that the stone was lost in the Forbidden Forest and that he would not go look for it, a plan that Dumbledore applauded.
After having been dropped in the Forbidden Forest by Harry, the Resurrection Stone was pressed into the earth by the hoof of a centaur, and would never be found again.[1]
- "He was standing inside a ruined stone shack, and the rotting floorboards were ripped apart at his feet, a disinterred golden box lay open and empty beside the hole, and Voldemort's scream of fury vibrated inside his head."
- —Harry witnessing Voldemort discovering his missing Horcrux through the connection of their minds[src]
After Voldemort discovered that Harry was hunting his Horcruxes due to Harry's break-in of Gringotts and theft of Helga Hufflepuff's cup, another Horcrux, Voldemort decided to make sure that each of his Horcruxes were safe and redouble their protections, now that Harry was after them. Voldemort tried to think of which one was in the most danger, and knowing that Dumbledore knew his middle name Voldemort realised the Headmaster would have made the connection between him and the Gaunts and possible trace this to the Gaunt shack where the Horcrux was hidden. He decided that the ring was perhaps the least safe, and thus visited the shack. Upon discovering that that the ring was, in fact, gone from its hiding place, Voldemort let out a scream of fury before deciding to check whether the locket was safe in the seaside cave.
Behind the scenes
- The ring is the only item that is both a Hallow and a Horcrux.
- Though the stone was damaged from when Dumbledore destroyed the Horcrux, it still worked perfectly as the Resurrection Stone.
- Voldemort used a ring as one of his Horcruxes. This is similar to the dark lord Sauron in J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, who puts part of his power in the One Ring, which is Sauron's only container of power, whereas Voldemort had seven.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Dumbledore refers to the ring as having belonged to Voldemort's mother. However, in a deleted scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Harry tells Ron and Hermione that the ring belonged to Voldemort's grandfather.[2] Additionally, when Harry touches the ring, there is a flash of images as the ring reacts to him, which Dumbledore explains as an identifiable trace of lingering Dark magic.
- In the books the ring is described as being ugly and clumsily made; in the films the ring is more detailed, with a design of snakes biting the stone.
- Collectable replicas of Marvolo Gaunt's Ring are made by the Noble Collection.
- In Deathly Hallows: Part 1, there is a flashback of Dumbledore trying on the ring. However, he tries it on his middle finger instead of his ring finger, as shown in Half-Blood Prince, and instead of the ring flying from his hands, it merely glows and forces his hand away as he touches it.
