 Real life Texas Courtroom Humor.
 From 1980 to 2008, U.S. District Judge Jerry Buchmeyer entertained lawyers far and wide with his "et cetera" column in the Texas Bar Journal. For this page, we've reached into the vault to bring you classic material spanning two decades of courtroom humor, most of which comes straight from actual depostions and trials.State Bar of Texashttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816208.post-35889225984720323552014-08-29T08:55:00.002-05:002014-08-29T08:55:07.755-05:00December 1994 - Something Entirely Different From William H. Ibbotson of Austin (assistant federal public defender), an excerpt from a civil deposition - which was preceded by the return of a subpoena duces tecum stating:

Served on residence of Patricia Denny ... at home address as stated by former employer. In driveway was a mid-80s Cadillac Seville. Sounds heard inside home but no one would answer door - after 20 minutes subpoena left in flower pot outside/beside front door about 7:56 a.m. (1-14-92.)

Then, in the resulting civil deposition of Patricia Denny, several mysteries are quickly explained.

Q. Ms. Denny, I believe you have had an opportunity to review what has been marked as Denny Exhibit Nos. one, two, and three. Would you briefly, for the record, state what those three documents are?

A. Okay. This is the deposition subpoena - it's number one - that was delivered to my rose bush.

Def. Attorney: Delivered to your rose bush?

A. To my rose bush. It states here that there was a Cadillac outside. That's true. It doesn't work. The only ones home were two cats.

Cozby, III of Tyler (Cowles & Thompson), this closing argument made by his brother, Andrew J. Cozby, the prosecutor in a criminal trial in Houston:

Mr. Cozby: Members of the jury, I appreciate your patience during this trial. I'm going to be talking quick because my time is limited. If you can follow this East Texas slang I appreciate it because I'm going to be going over some important points.

Number One: What we call in East Texas — if you've ever seen a dog chasing a rabbit, sometimes they will get off on some rabbit's trail. That's a false trail that leads off in a circle. And a dog will get off on a false trail from where the rabbit really is.

Defense Attorney: Your Honor, I object to being called a dog.

Mr. Cozby: Your Honor, I except to that, I was calling him a rabbit. State Bar of Texashttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816208.post-23105398905594087142014-08-25T08:57:00.001-05:002014-08-25T08:57:55.940-05:00April 1989 - Did I Really Hear That?

From Robinson C. Ramsey of Wharton, this excerpt from a deposition in a divorce case; Rob is questioning the husband about a family estate trust that wenty awry."

A. When I wound up in jail.

Q. When was that?

A. I don't really remember when that was, I don't remember.

Q. Do you remember approximately how long it was from the time you initially set up the trusts?

A. I don't know if that was a couple of years after that, or I really don't remember when that was.

Q. What were the circumstances that led to your winding up in jail?

A. It was - we were trying to, for lack of better words, hide income. In other words - and in doing that, we got audited ... It started when we got audited, and then the IRS agent that came to the house.

Court Jesters records this question asked by a lawyer: "what colour were the blue jeans?" As well as the lawyer who single-handedly (or mouthily) asked these immortal questions:

Q. How long have you known your brother?
Q. Were you alone or by yourself?

Q. How did you save lives?

A. I've saved my children's life before.

Q. How was that?

A. One time, when one of my boys was choked on ice, I was behind him and give him - I guess it's called the Hoover, up under the rib cage to cough it up.

Marc McDonald of Fort Worth (Bourland, Smith, etc.), this "classically confused" statement made by one of his partners, William R. Korlo, Jr. during a recent deposition.

Mr. Korlo: All right. Let me turn your attention to Plaintiff's Exhibit No. 3. I'm sorry. For purposes of the record, I've been messing up. I keep saying Plaintiff's Exhibits and I'm actually Defendant's.

(Rick) Walton of Houston (Union Pacific Railroad), this typo he found in a classified advertisement that appeared in the Texas Bar Journal just two pages before the "et cetera" column.

There are vacancies for patent attorneys with the Navel Research Laboratory (NRL) at its Washington, D.C., and Bay St. Louis, Miss. locations.

(2) From Randy Schaffer of Houston, this typo from a petition for habeas corpus relief. ...Applicant was denied a fair and impartial judge and sentencing hearing because the visiting judge, by deferring to jury verdicts in other cases, abdicated his responsibility to assess punishment based on applicant's individualized circumstances. Applicant is entitled to be resented by a different judge.

(3) From Clifford F. McMaster of Fort Worth, this typo made by a pro se plaintiff in an answer filed in a federal civil case in an "Answer to Order (sic) to Show Cause": To the horrible Judge Terry R. Means ....

(4) From District Court Judge Teresa K. Luther of Grand Island, Neb., this typo from a Petition to Modify child support that is currently pending in her court: The Petitioner has a new position whereby his wages have deceased.

(5) From District Judge Joe M. Leonard of Greenville (169th Judicial District), this typo from a brief in a consumer case.

Robert Myers of San Antonio (Willis, Hickey, etc) not only believes "that the risks of trial far outweighed the risks of depositions," he is convinced "that certain aspects of trial (most notably voir dire examination) are more dangerous still."

Juror No. 19 (Frank Kalani Laa) wished to approach the bench to ask a question; Judge Spears, being understandably unfamiliar with the pronunciation of Mr. Kalani Laa's last name, sought assistance:

The Court: Number 19, would you step forward please.

From Robert Finlay of Honolulu, HI, this testimony from "a hotly contested murder trial" involving a difficult, albeit zoological, point of evidence:

Prosecutor: On the photograph, what are on the brown, blood-like smudge?

Mr. Heu: From my zoological background, I keyed in on it because it had ants on it. [This was significant because it] indicated to me that it was fresh material rather than something that was days or weeks old.

Prosecutor: First of all, is there a difference between worker ants and soldier ants?

Mr. Heu: Yes. The soldier ants have large heads and the worker ants have small heads. The worker ants go out to forage - to find something. If it's a large find, the word will go back to the ant nest. The ants will send out more workers and if it's a big find, they'll send soldiers along.

Defense Attorney: I object to the materiality of the witness' statement.

The Court: Your objection is on the grounds of relevance?

Defense Attorney: Yes, sir. It's also hearsay as to what the ants tell each other.

The Court (wisely): Objection overruled. State Bar of Texashttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816208.post-79713907776607712362014-08-13T00:00:00.000-05:002014-08-13T00:00:03.848-05:00December 2001 - Objection Sustained

From Associate Judge Kathleen C. Anderson of El Paso, this excerpt from a family-violence protective order hearing held in her court. "The Applicant was being cross-examined by the Respondent's attorney, whose theory of the case included the notion that the Applicant was involved in a romantic relationship with the Respondent at the time of the alleged family violence." The objection was made by Michael Alvarez, the Assistant County Attorney.

Q. At any rate, by October 23rd of the year 2000, you did not love Mr. Juarez. Is that correct?

Mr. Alvarez: Objection. What's love got to do with it?

From Crawford Long of Waco (Crawford is the first assistant district attorney of the Criminal District Attorney's Office of McLennan County), this excerpt from voir dire in a murder trial in the 54th District Court in Waco. The title to this contribution was also submitted by Crawford, who explains that the "prosecutor, who will remain nameless, is said to have a distinctive southern drawl."

Prosecutor: Sure you may.

Juror: Is Forrest Gump your brother? You know you talk like him, don't you?

From Pierre T. Williams of El Paso (Pierre is an Assistant County attorney), this excerpt from voir dire in a juvenile delinquency proceeding.

Mr. Williams: Are there any police officers in here?

Q. You were the planner of everything? From the very beginning? I mean from the beginning when you went into the bank fraud business?

A. Ah....

Q. Take it city by city, might make it easier.

A. There was other people, like I say, in the beginning that was involved. When the bank fraud started and it was brought to my attention, I said that's wrong. From then on, I guess I become the ring leader.

Q. Have I named all the places you've lived in your life as best as you can remember?

This deposition excerpt in an automobile accident case comes from Mark A. McLean of Houston. He explains that the female witness is a co-defendant represented by Wayne Adams of Houston - and that Luke Carrabba of Houston, who represented the "target" defendant in the case, was trying to get the co-defendant witness to admit an act of contributory negligence.

Q. (By Mr. Carrabba) In general, do you think if you had been going slower, you would have had a better opportunity to avoid this accident?"

A. Well, I was going below the speed limit, so I was within the law. And, yes, if I had been going like 20 or 25 miles an hour, I might have avoided it; or if I had been going a little faster, I might have avoided it. I mean, I've thought about that; but I was, you know, below the speed limit as it was.

Q. Do you think there was any reasoning by - I'm going to object to my own question as being speculative.

Mr. Adams: Sustained. That sounds bad.

Mr. McLean: Thank you, Judge Adams.

The Witness: I haven't even seen that on TV.

Mr. Carrabba: I knew it when it was coming out. I was thinking "that is so speculative, just shut up. Okay."

Awsome Idea!!!
Ok so i was thinkn about doin something with a big group cuz i know how every1 wants to go 2 a track and stuff like that and race around in BMWs....well this past summer i went up to the BMW plant in South Carolina and the driving school. The driving school was prob. the sickest thing ive ever done. 2 days of driving around in amazing BMWs. The first day i was in a Z4 (the faster one w/e that is lol) and then we got to drive 330i on the 2nd day and they had this thing called the performance drive or sumthn where we got to drive M3's, 550's, 650's, 330's, 760's, and almost an M Z4 but some dumbass f*cked it up for us but nyways it was amazing!!!! So there is this thing you can do as an organization (which is us) and its a better deal (cuz u have 2 pay). Sorry if this thread is chopy and doesnt make sense but im just thrown an idea out there. It would be a day of driving to the school and we can do a 1 day or 2day school and then a day of driving back. We would have to pay for 1 or 2 nights at a hotel and food and gas and the school so once i get prices for the school that should let me throw some numbers out there. I think this would be a fun drive and experience and a different way to experience the power of BMW!

I've just finished this waistcoat by using the italian "Il modellsimo" system. Nothing for beginners! At fist, you've got a pattern which fits to 10%. After that, you have to adjust the whole thing directly on the person with a lot of patient and needles. The collar is also sewn directly on person.
But I like it very much!
The sakko is also made by me. I've showed it here years ago ;)

This is an amazing waistcoat…

Granted but after just one days use to are diagnosed with diabetes from eating too many chocolate chainsaws
I wish i had a Mountain Dew fountain.
Granted, but you have to refill it yourself. I think there's some at the store.
I wish for a box.
@tredlow said: Granted.
You spent a lot of time flying.
You learned to communicate with birds and discovered that their conversation was fantastically boring. It was all to do with wind speed, wing spans, power-to-weight ratios and a fair bit about berries. Unfortunately, you discovered, once you have learned birdspeak you quickly come to realize that the air is full of it the whole time, just inane bird chatter. There is no getting away from it.
I wish for an amazing feat of wonder.
This is from Hitchhiker's isn't it?
@Marduk said: This is from Hitchhiker's isn't it?
No, it's from Harry Potter and The Wikkit Gate, the relatively unknown chapter of the Harry Potter series. The movie's being made next year, I think.
Continuing the events from the end of the previous book, Harry and Ron are stuck in prehistoric times. Then, by riding a magical sofa (or 'portkey' as those magic folk call it), they were transported to Lord's Cricket Ground, two days before Voldemort destroys the muggle world. Then they met Dumbledore, who led the two on a quest to stop the charming, delightful, intelligent if whimsical, ordinary Krikkit wizards who intend to destroy the wizard world.
Later in the book, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Dumbledore, and Zaphod met the Krikkit wizards' guardian, a being named Hactar, who lost control of the Krikkit wizards. And they did something, I dunno...
In the end, Harry learned to fly.
Now, if you please...
I wish for a box.
granted. you get a box. it's a MAGIC box, even! this magic box takes you on a magical jerney. you are having the time of your life untill it does a barrel roll into a pit of lava. (it's an injoke from the origonal corrupted wish along with broken pens...)
oops... forgot my wish...
i wish that i could punch a perfectly tame buffalo that wouldn't atack me or eat me in this perfectly uncorruptable wish. :D
You punch the buffalo, which sadly doesn't notice it at all, so you're going home unfulfilled in the knowledge that you wasted the only wish you will ever have.
I wish everything was exactly the way it is now.
*ahem,* anyways... granted. but then you break a pen, trip, and impale yourself on it while you do a barrel roll into a pit of lava.
i wish for an army of superclones that don't hate me and won't eat me or attack me in any way and they do what i command.
Ah, granted. But having the whole world in your command becomes slightly boring. No one to give you ideas or anything, you quickly die for no absolut reason.
I wish people liked my fictions and drawings. =D
uhum... and i...died...somehow...
granted. everybody likes your fictions and drawing. 'cept me. i break your favorate pen and... well... you know what happens. broken pen... in a corrupted wish...
i wish in this other completely uncorruptable wish i had a perfect instrament... that's prefrably a french horn... it's uncorruptable just so you know...

Sandals Grand Riviera Jamaica

I stayed at the Grande this past year. There were 4 couples who had one of the villas on the hill side. The property is huge. Our room was great. it had a nice size bedroom with king bed, flat screen and nice view of gardens. It also had a living room with another flat screen, and a nice balcony. There was also a little niche which had a fully stocked bar. The pool is huge on the Grande Riviera side. The grounds of the whole property are beautiful. On the beach side, there are a few pools, small beaches. We loved hanging out at the round bar at sunset. The restaurant over the water is good - reserve early - like on the day you arrive and check in. The italian restaurant is supposed to be very good, but we couldn't get our party in there....and I don't think they take reservations for that unless you get Butler service. We loved going for Sushi...yes, it was very yummy! Overall, the food is good. Breakfest has tons of choices as well. In order to get from the hillside to the beach and most restaurants, you have to take a bus....which sounds like a drag, but they leave frequently and it takes 5 minutes. They will also drive you to your room via a jitney (I forget now)....it's a small vehicle, open aired with benches...seats 6...If you have specific questions, let me know. I really, really enjoyed it here...I've been to Sandals St Lucia, Antigua, Beaches Turks/Caicos, and Jamaica.....

On the Function of Two Variables of Urban Population Density
AbstractThis paper is a pure theoretical attempt to explain tendencies revealed in the last decade urban researches, such as decentralization of population toward the cities suburbs, formation of polycentric cities, by a process of alteration of city traditional monocentricity, in time, due to the growth of population. It is shown that the process of alteration of monocentricity is governed by a function of two variables of urban population density. The function is developed following the observation that urban population density is dependent, in the same time, both on distance-falling with the distance from the city center- and on time-growing with the increase of population size in cities area. The city model based on the function of two variables also predicts other interesting urban phenomena, such as cities ''collision''.

Jazz singer Andy Bey conveys the same kind of otherworldly physical command as Michael Jordan, who often seemed suspended in air, elevating all he did with the ball. That's because Bey has mastered the singer's dreamperfect breath support. The great Sarah Vaughan had it. She was among Bey's earliest heroes, and a classmate of his older sisters in a jazz-rich Newark decades ago. Back then, Bey gained some fame as a child singer and, later, in a trio with those sisters, Salome and Geraldine. In the '70s he made memorable recordings with Horace Silver (the pianist's United States of Mind series) and Gary Bartz (the saxophonist's Harlem Bush Music projects), but at 64, he's yet to gain a spotlight beyond the jazz-insider community.
A more earthbound JordanBey's industrious producer, Herbhas worked to remedy that situation. Since 1996, Bey has recorded four CDs showcasing his mixture of virility, tenderness, and spiritual heft. The best of the lot is the newest: American Song, where he rises to lofty results on 10 familiar standards.
Jazz's sacred texts are for the most part, well, sacred. Yet Bey's take on Ellington's "Prelude to a Kiss" stands up alongside Johnny Hartman's performance on the classic 1963 "My One and Only Love" he recorded with John Coltrane. Here Bey's phrasing anticipates Frank Wess's tenor sax solo; a bit earlier, he interlocks perfectly with Dwight Andrews's bass clarinet countermelody. The latter element seems an impossible fit, yet it achieves a logical beautyone of several stirring details provided by Geri Allen, the album's chief arranger as well as the pianist on two tracks.
A warm, spacious sound prevails. Horns add oddly glowing harmonies; piano and guitar trade spare, complex chords. But Bey's rich baritone is the fulcrum throughout. The care with which he calibrates the strength of his breath enables him to belt bluesy riffs with authority, to enlarge the finest nuance, and to trace melismas with unwavering pitch and clarity. Combined with the bolero rhythm and upbeat accents employed here, the odd intervals of Lionel Hampton's "Midnight Sun" could freeze any singer. But Bey's vocal flows, carrying Johnny Mercer's wordplay toward fresh implication. When Bey moves from a whisper to what he calls his "power voice" on "Caravan," his voice explodes like Dizzy Gillespie's horn. Scatting softly at the end of "Lush Life," he seems adrift in the loneliness he's just described. "Speak Low" begins with finger snaps and deep sighs. From there, Bey's offanother well-timed jump into a resilient cushion of air, raising the game.
Andy Bey plays Le Jazz Au Bar March 25, 26, and 28.

Before this road trip began, Shawn Green was mired in a horrible slump, maybe
the worst slump of his career.
Many people thought he could not duplicate what he did last season without Gary
Sheffield hitting behind him. To me, it was hogwash.
Protecting a power hitter in the lineup is nice, but it is overrated. Green is a
good hitter in his own right regardless of who bats behind him. Though Eric
Karros, Paul Lo Duca, and Brian Jordan have not developed a reputation as
hitters as dangerous as Sheffield, they are good hitters completely capable of
making the opposition pitch to Green.
Many people were criticizing the Dodgers for giving Green such a long expensive
contract. The likable Green was adding pressure on himself because he wants to
please everybody.
I felt sorry for Green. I thought most of the criticism was not deserved. A
player is not responsible for a team's offensive woes. For this entire season,
Green had said that he was not comfortable with his swing. It seemed to be
longer than it was last year when he established a franchise record for home
runs with 49. Green spent many hours with Jack Clark trying to solve the
Because Green has a calm demeanor, many people believe Green does not care how
he does. This is a misconception. Green cares deeply how he does and how his
team performs. He is not a cheerleader type, so many people do not view him as a
team leader. His class and work ethic have earned the respect of his teammates
and other players around the league.
Though Green's offensive skills get the headlines, he is an excellent defensive
right fielder. His long legs make it look effortless and elegant as Green covers
the territory in right field. The way Green plays right field is often compared
to how Joe DiMaggio played center field. Green's arm will not make the crowd go
wow as when Raul Mondesi played in Los Angeles, but Green's throws resemble low
lasers. Green's defense is crucial to the Dodgers.
Last Saturday night Jim Tracy decided to rest Green. This has been unheard of
while Green has worn a Dodger uniform. Before this year, he had missed only one
game (on a Jewish holiday) as a Dodger. Earlier this month, Green had to sit out
a game after being hit on the hand by Tom Glavine. To me, this injury
contributed to Green's slump.
Though no player likes to sit on the bench, sometimes it helps him to break out
of a slump. While sitting on the bench, the player can step back from the game
and see a different side of it. He also hears his teammates discussing how they
would approach facing the opposing pitcher. Sitting on the bench does break the
rhythm of the recent games for a player. Before last Saturday, Green had not hit
a ball out of the infield during the home stand.
Sunday Green had a double.
Tuesday night in Milwaukee Green had two home runs, and one was to the opposite
field. To me, Green's slump was over.
Wednesday night Green tripled in the only run of the game. Though Green struck
out twice, he said, "I felt really good even in the strikeouts."
Thursday Green became the seventh Dodger to have six hits in a game. Paul Lo
Duca accomplished this amazing feat last Memorial Day. Green became the first
Dodger to have four home runs in a game since Gil Hodges did that in August,
After Green hit his fourth home run, Green showed his class when he put his head
down and simply rounded the bases. Obviously, he was excited about his
unbelievable accomplishment, but he did not want to show up the opposition. The
Brewers and their fans appreciated Green's consideration about their feelings.
The Brewers' fans gave Green a standing ovation to recognize his accomplishment.
Green's name is linked with Dodger greats Duke Snider and Gil Hodges. Green
commented, "It is incredible to me to realize some of the names. To have my name
in the same breath is amazing to me."
Green says his double in his first at-bat relaxed him. If Shawn Green can remain
relaxed and block out the high expectations, he will be fine and lead the Dodger
offensive attack.
Thursday was the best personal performance by a player that I have ever
witnessed. Neither Green nor I will forget it soon.
Friday Green homered in his first at-bat against Curt Schilling. He also had two
singles. Thus, it gave Green twenty-five total bases in two games. This matched
a major league record held by the legendary Ty Cobb.
Saturday Green propelled the Dodgers to an important victory over the Arizona
Diamondbacks. In this game, Green had six RBI and two more home runs. He
established a National League record for most home runs during a calendar week,
starting on Sunday and ending on Saturday. With nine home runs Green fell one
short from tying the major league record held by a former Dodger Frank Howard.
Green broke his bat on his last homer on Saturday. His broken bat is headed to
the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Awesome is the only word to describe Green's performance last week. In my
opinion, everyone would be shocked if Shawn Green was not named the National
League Player of the Week.
Many Dodger fans wanted Green to remain on the bench a week ago. Now Green is
the toast of the city. Thus, it is the life of a baseball player. The players
cannot get too high when they do well or too low when they struggle. We as fans
should demonstrate patience with a player until the end of the season.
I wish Green well for the rest of the season.

Place. She lives in Anderson, Texas.

A 10-month-old accidentally locked himself inside a hot car, and his mom says a 911 dispatcher didn't immediately send help.
The largest fundraising campaign in University of Arizona history is set to begin April 11 on campus.
The University's Never Settle initiative aims to raise $1 billion to advance the land-grant mission, stimulate the state's economy and better prepare students upon graduation, according to a news release.
The campaign kickoff will take place at 2 p.m. on campus, including talks and tours. The Interactive Expo of Excellence will be included,held on the UA Mall just east of Old Main, starting at 4:30 p.m. The expo is set to feature 30 booths, touting displays ranging from driverless cars to poetry.

UA President Ann Weaver Hart expressed her excitement about the campaign, which she hopes will be of great benefit to students.
"The University of Arizona is looking toward the future," Hart said. "We need to provide a world-class education to our students and make sure they get real-world experience outside the classroom. When they graduate,we want them to be fully prepared to take on the challenges and opportunities ahead."
The campaign is the first comprehensive university campaign fromUA since the end of Campaign Arizona, which also had a $1 billion goal.
"This is an exciting time for the University of Arizona,"said James H. Moore Jr., president and CEO of the UA Foundation. "Because our fundraising goals are linked to the University's strategic plan, this campaign will be far-reaching impact on the future of the University."

Another way is to just install google chrome (choose the rpm package for whatever version you are running 32 or 64bit)
This will soon be your only option for flash as adobe killed flash support in linux so chorme will be your best bet for flash.

Skyscape Trekker
Beginning to bridge the gap to light weight with this fantastic, well ventilated, hybrid tent. Packs down smaller than any one-man tent I've seen and uses your trekking poles. Extra room is good for larger person or like me usually claustrophobic in tight spaces. I watched the setup video on SixMoonDesigns.com website several times before pitching and it is relatively straightforward, simple. Using your trekking poles, need to adjust it to get even, symmetrical pitch. Material does stretch out after… Full review
Skyscape Trekker
Light, good cost-per-weight ratio, strong, large. I used this tent in the Sierras on a Rae Lakes Loop for 5 days. The tent is very light but feels very solid once pitched. Pitching the tent is easy once you get the hang of it. The area above your head is a double-wall and above your feet is a single wall, so condensation was a slight issue with it dripping down at the edge where your feet are. One vestibule is behind a wall with no entrance, so it is impossible to access from inside the tent. It… Full review
Wild Oasis
At 14 ounces after being seam sealed it's like carrying nothing, in comparison to those ultralight 3 pound tents. Yet this tarp functions with the best of them. It doesn't come with a floor but because I always use a ground cloth under the floor of my tent the floor here is not missed. Just returned from my first trip with this tarp/tent and was very impressed. The bottom of the silnylon has mesh attached all the way around it which cantalevers inward you then lay your ground cloth on it forming… Full review

Excellent shelter for an extended backpacking trip. Simple, lightweight protection from the elements and bugs. Lunar Solo from Six Moon Designs The Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo is a very well designed and lightweight tent for backpackers. It performs all the functions of a tent (shelter from weather, protection from insects, etc.), at the weight of a tarp. I used a 2009 model Lunar Solo on my thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) that year. It protected me from sun in the desert, snow in… Full review
Lunar Duo
It is light, easy to pitch, and very roomy- length, width and height. I bought this tent because I was backpacking with kids and needed more room, but couldn't take any more weight. I'm 6'4" and when I first got it, was backpacking with an 8-year-old, a 12-year-old, and a 14-year-old. I slept in my tent, and they got this one. They set it up and slept on very rainy nights.

Another Horcrux Down by WeasleyMom
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 19]
Summary: This story is a missing moment from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. We know Ron and Hermione descend into the Chamber of Secrets in search of basilisk fangs, and we know they succeed. But what exactly happened down there? This story provides a possible answer to that question.This is WeasleyMom of Hufflepuff writing for the Illustration for Inspiration Challenge in the Great Hall. My inspiration was a drawing done by Carole/EquinoxChick, featuring Hermione's hand stabbing the cup with a basilisk fang. Thanks, Carole! You unknowingly pushed me to write something I've had in my head since DH came out. Thrilled to announce this story tied for third place in the challenge! Holy Hufflepuff! This won a 2012 QSQ Award for Best Canon Romance, one-shot! I am thrilled and so, so grateful!
Wow! I think my favorite part was when Ron cursed Voldemort because he had almost killed his sister in that very chamber. It brought back do many memories! I think you did a phenomenal job on this missing moment! ;) since you captured that chamber so well, maybe you would consider writing the missing moment of when Ginny was down in the same chamber, crying, fussing, and finally losing consciousness... I know you would ace that! Plus, I'm eager to read a Tom Riddle fic, and my favorite book from the series was the CoS, so please consider writing this. :)
~Nagini Riddle
Author's Response: Hi there. Thanks so much for reading--I'm thrilled you enjoyed the fic and thought it worked. I don't see myself writing anything in the Chamber again though. I felt repetitive enough trying to recreate it from CoS without messing up any of JKR's description. It was fun this time, but I doubt I could do it again without boring myself to death. There are Tom Riddle fics out there, though, so happy hunting! Thanks again for reading and taking the time to review. I really appreciate it! ~ Lori
Ron and Hermione's Christmas Wedding by grangergirl35
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 2]
Summary: Hermione watches Ron as they stand before the preacher, and thinks.
What a fun poem! I just love poetry of any kind (if you happen to look at my written stories and the reviews I've written, I think you would see that) and I really enjoyed this sweet poem! That last stanza just made me laugh! It captured Hermione perfectly. :)

Unite The Balance by crbluvsravenclaw
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 3]
Summary: There's a time when friends bid their fairwells and another when they must re-unite to keep the world in balance.
What, no snake???? :) beautiful! I really enjoyed the messaging of uniting for a common cause! :)
Author's Response: Nagini Riddle, WOOHOO! MY FIRST EVER REVIEW!!!(: I am so you glad that you enjoyed reading my poem! And yeah, there is no snake unfortunately. He was the one that was shunned away from the other three because his views were different. But in the end, "three will become one and one will become all." In my line of sight, all four Houses will re-unite and the balance will be stronger than ever. I am so glad that you enjoyed my poem! Thank you so much for being my first review ever and hopefully there are much more to come! I will be posting many more of my works and maybe the one from booksie that you thought sounded much like Dumbledore's ideas. Thanks again, Nagini Riddle for reading and reviewing this poem, ~crbluvsravenclaw (Cris)!!!(:

Wow! This was great! I loved how Fred and George were still able to joke around! What a great way to send Fred off... It's too bad he had to die... *silently cries*

Wow! I don't know what to say! You built it up so much- and then I had to laugh at the end! It all started from that small bite from the Snorcack, or whatever that stupid creature was. Ha! See, Xeno, they can certainly wipe the world of something!
This story felt very "I am Legend"ish
Author's Response: Thanks :) Glad you enjoyed it!
Her Eyes by Sly Severus
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 2]
Summary: As Severus Snape lies dying, he stares into the eyes of the woman he's loved all his life.
I really enjoyed reading this in PA and now I still love it here! It's not too short! :) how did you get it updated so fast? My poem has been in the queue for nine days...
I especially enjoyed the last line- its comforting to know that he got to see her again after he died.
~Nagini Riddle
Author's Response: Thanks for the review and the crit in PA. I also love to think that Severus gets to see Lily again. Even after she's gone, he dedicates his entire life to her.
Remembrances by The owl
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 3]
Summary: Ginny thinks of Harry and wonders if he will ever return from his mysterious mission.
Wow! I love the rhythm it had! I especially enjoyed how you wrote mem'ries!!!!!! Way to take out a syllable! That, right there, says poet to me!
Author's Response: Thanks for taking the time to review, Nagini. Ellision (abbreviating a word like that) is very useful for making words fit into the meter, but I'm not sure that ellision a poet makes :P
The Last Enemy to be Conquered by AidaLuthien
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 5]
Summary: On 31 July 2026, Harry's birthday celebrations are a bit different than normal.
This is AidaLuthien writing for Round 2 of the Character Clinic Triathlon.
Augh! i did not see this coming, until Ginny was holding flowers!
great job, though! it was great to find out what the families were doing after the war, and able to move on with their lives. Out of curiosity, how did Harry die?
Summary: The suffering of an Unforgivable Curse.
Wow! Loved this poem! Am I correct in thinking that this is about the Longbottoms?
I especially liked how you placed the lines, staggering the stanzas. It really helps it move along in a jagged way, kind of like the cruciatus curse does. And the rhyme seemed effortless and beautiful! Wow! Not cheesy or silly, but absolutely stunning! *jaw drops to the floor in amazement* GREAT JOB!!!!!
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it, I really appreciate the review. And yes, you are correct. I didn't set out to write about them, but as I was writing that's where it went. Thanks again! ~Gina :)
Falling by GinnyPotter95
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 2]
Summary: Sirius's last thoughts as he falls through the veil.
Oh, GinnyPotter! I love your wit! :)
This poem is still beautiful, and I would have given it an honorable mention for the challenge! Cheers!
Author's Response: Thank you thank you thank you soooo much for being my first review! This was just a quick thing I thought of for the challenge. Had to do the repitition for this though. Thanks again!!!!~Nidhi
Fall Behind by Ars Letalis
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 5]
Summary: October 3rd. They still haven't told him; it's likely never will. This is the most and least selfish act they have committed, and in spite of it all they just can't let go. One-shot, Remus/Lily.
i am laughing even though this is sad!!!!!! goodness, everyone loved Lily! she is such a vixen! :)
nice story, though! out of curiosity, what would lily have said if Remus had asked her just then?
these types of stories only make me dislike James Potter more... Lily deserved better! *chuckles*
Author's Response: Now, I wouldn't say that! I've always been fond of James, and I like to think that while both he and Lily did some unsavory things, they were both good people with a nice, albeit short, relationship. I'm glad you enjoyed it, though. ;P As for your question, I think Lily was just very confused and emotional and maybe not being entirely honest with herself or, for that matter, Remus. I can't imagine she honestly would have said yes, and I don't think Remus could've let either of them go through with it anyway. As Rowling said, Remus really liked to be liked, and he would never be able to take Lily from James due in part to that need. And in her heart of hearts, Lily really did love and want to be with James.
Summary: Pansy rolled over, and her eyes found a white wall staring back at her. Everything here was white: sanitized, blinding, annoyingly bright white. Even the loose cotton she had been forced to wear was white. But there was a reason Pansy was there. She was crazy. Pansy knew she was, but couldn't bring herself to care.
Yes, life wasn't turning out the way Pansy planned, but it was manageable. Until he came along ...
This is iMusic17 from Slytherin writing for Round II of the CC Triathalon (2012).
wow! i am all for odd pairings, and i really enjoyed this! what a dark/angsty story! you are really good at this. :)
maybe you could try another strange pairing?
Author's Response: I'm glad you like odd pairings. I blame Jess (ToBeOrNotToTypeThisAllOut) for Ron/Pansy. And, yeah, D/A is kind of my thing. I'll try another odd pairing, soon; I promise. I'm glad you like it, and thanks for the review!
Summary: The remarkable story behind Griselda Marchbanks' enigmatic reference to all those things Albus Dumbledore could do with a wand.
So funny and great! :) I think, though, that they would have made him do harder spells than these- but since we don't know what happens at the N.E.W.T.s, it totally works!
Great dare! You should definitely keep letting people dare you to do these things!
Author's Response: Hi there! Thanks so much for the review! I'm glad you liked the story. You made a good point about the spells being a bit on the easy side--but then you answered the point as well, because we just don't know much about 7th year and the spells they might have learned, so I had to do the best I could, and make sure Albus did a bit more than asked to make up for it. I'm glad it worked enough to make the rest of it worth it. And it wasn't quite a dare, more of a throw-away comment that I couldn't resist. LOL! I don't know if I should follow up on them if they all turn out like this, though. Thanks again for the lovely review! ~Gina :)
The Eyes That Do Not See by Envy_I_May_Be
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 2]
Summary: All Petunia ever wanted (even if she never admitted it to anyone, including herself), was just to see. Is that really too much to ask?
Again, I just loved this poem! It is so wonderful! I cannot fault it!
Author's Response: Yay! *Bows down low* My deepest gratitude, my dear.
The Hungarian Horntail by PeppermintToads
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 3]
Summary: A short poem about the first task.
Nice! I love the first two stanzas because of how you describe the dragon's appearance! I got a little scared of the Hungarian... :)
Author's Response: Thank you! I am very glad you liked it. I kind of struggled with those stanzas, haha. :)
Conversations by Northumbrian
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 15]
Summary: Ron and Hermione have some news.
Typical Hermione! :) I loved how you characterized both George and Hermione! Ron seemed really mature! Although, I did like how he opened the door the office with his wand! I really enjoyed it!
Author's Response: Thanks.
In my opinion Ron matured very rapidly in DH. His abandoning his friends was the catalyst. Malfoy Manor confirmed his feelings for Hermione, and the battle forced him to grow up. But he's still not afraid of using magic to shortcut things.-N-
The Clocks in the House by minnabird
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 3]
Summary: Andromeda reflects on her choices, not long after the birth of her daughter.
Nominated for Best Poem in the 2013 Quicksilver Quill Awards
There's a minimum!!???
Anyways, beautiful poetry. I love the sounds this produced, and clocks can be fun to listen to- and sometimes annoy me. :) But this was great!
Author's Response: Yes, 100 words minimum. Bleh. And thanks. Glad you enjoyed.
Crashing Down Around Me by Maple_and_PheonixFeather
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 5]
Summary: There are many types of secrets. Some you keep for others, some you keep for yourself, and others you keep to avoid them.
When it came to feelings, I, Lily, was the greatest keeper of secrets.
Augh! :) Remind me who Louis is again... Who are his parents?
What an interesting view! I think I liked it. Although, I'll admit, I was a little squeamish. However, I can tell that you are a very strong writer! Great job. :D
Author's Response: Wow, thank you! I'm really glad you took the time to read this, even if it made you uncomfortable. And Louis is the son of Bill and Fleur. Maple
The Winter of 1539-1540 by hestiajones
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 2]
Summary: Immortality comes with a quiet price.Written for Random Song Title Challenge at Poetry Anyone (?). This poem shares the title of the Helios song, and only the title.
Wow! What an ingenious idea!
In your first stanza on the last line, I have a problem with those last two words. I think the flow and rhythm would work better if it read "quite not".
With the second stanza, I feel similar for the last line. Maybe it should read "the hours after" or "hours after hours." it's just so it stays in line with the rhythm of the rest of the poem.
I loved it though! This will definitely allow the flobberworm to gain some fame!

Pulsing Power Banshee Scream – Part 2
This is Part 2 of the Banshee Scream tutorial. In my previous tutorial I showed how to create a banshee scream effect from a wide shot; today I'll show you how to make the effect from inside the scream. I made this shot for my short film Agents Of Evil 2: Supercharged. In the tutorial I use Video Copilot's Sequencer script, and their Aftershake preset. Thanks for watching!
