We are commemorating the centennial of the start of World War I by hosting a whole raft of programs relating to the history and impact of the war, both here and abroad.
Military historian Stéphane Guevremont will be exploring the factors that lead to the war in What Caused World War I on October 30 from 7-9 p.m. in the John Dutton Theatre at the Central Library.
He will also explore The Eastern Front 1914 and how events that took place one hundred years ago continue to have an effect today. This program is on November 14, in the Dutton Theatre at 7 p.m.
Also on November 7 is the Heritage Triangle Walking Tour during which staff from the three points of our heritage triangle, the Calgary Public Library, the City of Calgary, Corporate Records, Archives and the Glenbow Library, will tell you about the WWI related gems in their collections. This starts in the Local History Room on the 4th floor of the Central Library at 1 p.m.
Later that same day, Stir Films producer Brent Kawchuk with speak about the making of the Heritage Minute's First World War vignettes in our first Heritage Matters presentation of the new season, Filming WWI History in Calgary. This will be on the main floor of the Central Library.
Don Smith, Emeritus Professor, University of Calgary, will present the history of Calgary's Grand Theatre in the Great War. By exploring war-time entertainment, he will also be examining issues that had an impact on the theatre such as war service of those involved in the industry and women's suffrage. This program is on Sunday November 9 at 1 p.m., also in the John Dutton Theatre.
Women's role in the war will also be explored by researcher and writer Adriana Davies, the creator of the Alberta Online Encyclopedia. Her program, A Genius for Organization takes place on Sunday November 9 in the Dutton as well but this one starts at 3. You could stay and make a day of it because at 2pm, Jeff Keshen, Dean of the Faculty of Arts at MRU, will be talking about The Media and World War I. He will talk about the role played by newspapers, and examine the propaganda at the outbreak of the war.
Southwood Library is having a very interesting, ongoing program, the World War I Book Club. Participants will read and discuss books set during the Great War. They meet once a month on Sundays, October 19, November 16 and December 14 at 2 p.m.
Now, for the one I'm really looking forward to, Eating Your Way Through World War I. This takes place on the main floor of the Central Library on Sunday November 16 at 1:30 p.m. Presenters will talk about how Calgarians ate during the Great War years.
Later in November, on the 28th, Stéphane Guevremont will talk about Christmas on the Western Front. He will help us relive the first five months of the war and the astonishing Christmas truce that took place in 1914.

Four Soldiers in Uniform 1915?
With fall (or at least what passes for fall in this city) comes Heritage programs by the bushel. Things are gearing up and I thought I should let everyone know what to look out for.
Starting tomorrow, Wednesday September 24 and running until Thursday the 25th, The Military Museums is presenting a series of lectures under the banner Material Culture and The First World War: Western Canadian Narratives Noted speakers from across the country will be talking about a wide variety of topics relating to Canadian involvement in World War I, how the war was represented to Canadians on the home front, the stories of those affected by the war and life in Alberta after the war. This looks like it will be a fascinating series and I only wish I didn't have to work. I'd be in there like a dirty shirt. The cost is $50 for the two days or $35 for just one day. You can find more information as well as a link to the registration page right here
Also kicking off this month is our Family History Coaching program. Coaches from the Alberta Histories Society will be on hand to help you, one on one, with your genealogy questions. Researchers at all levels of skill are welcome. We have three genealogy minds to set to your project, and three heads are always better than one. We meet on the last Saturday of the month (the 27th this month) from 10:00 to 12:00 on the 4th floor of the Central Library. There is no registration required, so you can just pack up your papers and drop in for a consult.
Breaking the Silence
In October, we will be welcoming a speaker from the British Home Children Advocacy and Research Association and author Sandra Joyce to deliver the talk Breaking the Silence: British Home Children. Over 100,000 children were sent to Canada and often put to work as indentured servants. This program is in partnership with the Chinook Country Historic Society and will take place at the Central Library on Saturday October 18 at 1 pm. You can find more information here. No registration is required
And for those of you interested in learning AND eating, the Firefighter's Museum is hosting Conversations in the Kitchen. This time, in honour of Fire Prevention Week, the subject will be Watch what you heat. CFD's Public Information Officer Carol Henke will be talking about what can go wrong in the kitchen, linking back to artefacts from the museum's collection. Afterwards, Carol will share her infamous fire hall pancake recipe. You can register for this program, which takes place on October 10 at 10:30 by contacting email@example.com. Admission is by donation. You can find out more on theirFacebook page
So, get out, steep yourself in history and have a good time! See you out there.

Actually, Historic Calgary Week starts Friday, but I wanted to let everyone know ahead of time so you can get it in your calendars. The theme this year is Reflect and Remember, as this is the centenary of the outbreak of World War I. There will be a plethora of history programs with some of our very best historians filling you in on all kinds of history, not just that of Calgary in wartime. There are genealogy related programs, building history programs, walking tours, a ghost tour, cemetery walking tours, a tour of the Beltline with particular reference to the gay history of that area, a look at some of Calgary's heroes and heroines, and, well, just too much good stuff to list here. Check out the brochure at the Chinook Country Historic Society website.
As our contribution to Historic Calgary Week, Carolyn and I will be doing a presentation called "A Calgary Soldier's Story" which looks at the life of a young Irish immigrant, who came west to make a life for himself and his family. When war came he didn't hesitate to answer the call. We will also look at the history of his house, which still stands on Memorial Drive. His story is unique, but it is also the story of many young men from this city who joined up when his country went to war.

The week kicks off this Friday, July 25, with the publication of the humongous historic Calgary crossword puzzle by Jennifer Prest in the Calgary Herald. The paper will also include a list of the week's programs. If you miss the puzzle in the paper, you can download it from the Chinook Country Historical Society's website.
One glance at the list of programs and you will see that history is about more than just bricks and mortar. Calgary is a city rich with stories, and this week is our chance to hear just a few of them.
Elbow river at 25 Avenue Bridge, 1915
It will be the one year anniversary of the floods of 2013 on Friday. On Saturday, as part of the city-wide Neighbour Day celebrations, we will be launching our Flood Stories website at the Central Library. The website will be an online resource for people who are looking for information about the all of the floods we have seen in Calgary, and it will also be a place where we can keep all the stories of the people who lived through these floods.
Living at the confluence of two rivers, we are no strangers to flooding, and in the early days a really good rainstorm could knock out all access to the city and leave people stranded. Routes into and out of the city, road and rail, could be inundated or undermined and this would leave the citizens without necessary supplies. This meant milk shortages and even shortages of materials needed to rebuild the bridges.
Bridge washouts sometimes created a domino effect as the debris from one bridge knocked out the next bridge, which knocked out the next bridge and so on. Logs were a hazard as well. When we had major logging operations, such as Eau Claire Power and Lumber, on the Bow, careering logs could wreak endless havoc on bridges and other structures in the river.
The old gravity feed water supply system was often a victim of the floods, not that it was ever a great system, but high water would stir up the rivers and the silt and debris would be pulled in to our water supply. This created other crises, as these were the days before bottled water and even those with wells might find their water contaminated by the floods.
Bow in flood, Louise Bridge, 1923
What I have noted, though, as I have been working on the information for this site is that Calgarians are a resilient lot. After each and every flood, the newspapers have stories about how neighbours helped one another, how people got together to fix the things that had been broken by the waters. We are citizens of a very special city, and I am looking forward to hearing the stories and keeping the stories of all of you great people. Tell us your story
Dingman 1 and 2 1913, Postcards from the Past
May 14, 1914 was possibly the most significant date in the development of the province of Alberta. On that day, a spume of petroleum gushed from the Calgary Petroleum Products' well in Turner Valley and Western Canada's first commercial oilfield was born. The discovery and subsequent discoveries has made this province what it is.
Archie Dingman, an innovator and general all-round enthusiast, was the General Manager of Calgary Petroleum Products and was a great pitchman for the potential of Western Canada's oil industry. Calgarians, therefore, knew the well as the Dingman well. The Turner Valley Gas Plant, which was built to refine the petroleum from the well was the first plant of its kind west of Ontario and would remain in use until 1985. The heritage value of the Gas Plant was evaluated and in 1988 Alberta Culture acquired the site, which had been deemed to be of significant historic value to the province and the country. In 1995 it was made a provincial historic resource. It is now celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Dingman strike.
On Friday, May 23, at 5:30 we will be welcoming the director of the Turner Valley Gas Plant Provincial Historic Site, Ian Clarke, to the Central Library for our next Heritage Matters program. He will give us his insider perspective on the never-ending saga of the 100 years since Dingman No.1. You can register for this program in person, by telephone at 403-260-2620 or online.

It is that time of year again. With Historic Calgary Week fast approaching folks may be thinking ahead to the Century Homes project. We are offering a revised version of our program on researching house history, focusing on a house on Memorial Drive that was home to a soldier who served in World War I. This will give us the opportunity to explore some military resources for genealogists and house historians. In fact, we were able to find this solider because of the research that someone had done on their heritage home. They mentioned in their sign that the original owner had been on active service in 1915 so using a bit of reverse research we were able to find the house and the owner (and a whole lot more).
We are working again with our Heritage Triangle partners and we have managed to pull up a ton of information. I don't want to give away too much, but even if you don't have a house to research, you may just want to drop in to hear the story of this house and its fascinating tenants. You can register for this program in person at any library branch, online or by calling 403-260-2620.
I would also like to give a nod of appreciation to all of the organizers and participants of the Heritage Fair that was held over the weekend. It does my heart good to see all the students and the hard work they've put in to their projects. Also, a big thanks goes out to the staff and soldiers at Mewata Amoury for hosting the event. It was great.

I was as happy as a pig eating rhubarb on Saturday — I was at a genealogy conference given by the Alberta Family Histories Society featuring the Canadian genealogy guru, Dave Obee. Dave is the author of a large number of reference works relating to Canadian genealogical records, including Destination Canada, and Counting Canada, as well as a bunch of great guides to things like directories, voters' lists, and citizenship indexes. In addition he is the proprietor of the best (in my opinion) website for Canadian genealogy research, CanGenealogy. Dave is also a library supporter, and has written the history of library service in British Columbia, The Library Book. In his other life, he is also a working journalist so his insights into the study of people (which, really, genealogy is at its heart) are particularly valuable.
So, the most important thing I learned from my day-long participation in this genealogy conference is not about a particular kind of record or a really snazzy website to check. No, the most important lesson that I took away from Dave's lectures, was that we have a duty to our ancestors to tell their stories. We have to look beyond the census and vital statistics and research the time and the place of our people who went before. For this we use the secondary sources such as local histories, general histories, ephemera, maps and any other number of cool, non-traditional sources (like those found in our Local History Collection). I was delighted to hear this affirmation of my own belief from someone whose work I admire. I, too, believe genealogy is not just the process of collecting names and dates. The true value of genealogy lies in the history of the people and the building of their story.
This is the approach we have been taking with the Lest We Forget project. The students we visit take documents, facts, and statistics and turn them into a life story. Perhaps they may even be interested in looking beyond their soldier, to the families left behind. This is certainly a more challenging assignment, but it is one that has immeasurable value in the understanding and the remembrance of those who went before.
So, this is the most important thing I learned from Dave Obee, but it wasn't the only thing so in my next posting, I will mention some of the other great tips I gleaned from my day with the expert.

When we think of Canada's French Canadian population we rarely think of our city. Did you know that it was a French speaking person who welcomed the North West Mounted Police when they arrived at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow Rivers in 1875? Father Doucet, an Oblate, in the area to minister to the First Nations tribes who called this area home, had already established a mission at the site. The Mounties thought the area would be ideal for their fort and so asked the missionaries to move further up the Elbow. The area where they finally established their mission, Notre Dame de la Paix, eventually became Rouleaville, Calgary's first French community.
The presence of the mission attracted other Catholic development including a hospital, cathedral, convent and schools. St. Mary's school, started in a log cabin in 1885, is still in operation, albeit in a newer building. The settlement attracted other Francophones including Metis who were employed as the 19th century equivalent of truck drivers, moving freight in and out of Fort Benton. Father Lacombe, the visionary behind this community, sought official status for the area of land the Oblate fathers were occupying and was ceded the rights to two quarter sections. This furthered the development of the area and soon French speaking businessmen and professionals were building their mansions in the area. The earliest of these were the Rouleau brothers, Charles and Edward. (aj 1142) Charles' lovely mansion is gone, demolished in 1939 to make way for the Athlone Apartments, but Edward's house was moved to a spot behind the old St. Mary's Parish Hall (now Alberta Ballet) and still stands.

The existence of a French community in Calgary is unknown to many of us. La Bureau de Visibilite de Calgary and La Societe Franco-Canadienne de Calgary sponsor Les Rendez-vous de la Francophonie throughout the month of March. On the 22nd of the month, these organizations along with the Cliff Bungalow-Mission Community Association and the Calgary Public Library are presenting, in English, "Rouleauville – Calgary's French Connection" at the John Dutton Theatre of the Central Library at 2:00. Admission is free. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about an important part of Calgary's early history. See you there.

Dave Obee is coming to town! The Alberta Family Histories Society is bringing Dave Obee to Calgary for a day-long event covering many aspects of Canadian genealogical research. He will be talking about using the internet for research, finding information on our immigrant ancestors, how to squeeze the last drop of information from the census and Canadians in World War I. Dave Obee is a very big name in Canadian genealogy circles and has written a number of books that I use nearly every day. This is going to be a great seminar and it is dirt cheap - $35 if you register before March 1, $45 if you register after. Check out information on the Alberta Family Histories Society website. I am so looking forward to this – I hope to see you there.
Closer to home, we will be offering our Genealogy for Beginners program at the Fish Creek Library on February 22 at 7 PM. This is the perfect opportunity to find out how to start that family history project. For more information and to register click here.
Also remember our Family History Coaching sessions on the last Saturday of the month from 10 to noon until June 28. We meet on the 4th floor of the Central Library and we can help you one-on-one with your genealogical research. This is a drop in program, so no registration is required.
In the genealogy vein, but not exactly a genealogy program, is the lecture series being put on at the Military Museums to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War. A series of lectures will be run over the next three months including Dr. John Ferris, talking about the outbreak of World War I, Rob Alexander sharing his grandfather's account of the Dieppe Raid and the invasion of Italy from his diaries, and Lindsey Sharman introducing Forging a Nation: Canada Goes to War, the newest exhibit in the Founder's Gallery at the Museum. For more information visit their website.

If you are a teacher looking for an interesting way to engage your high-school students in the life of a World War I soldier, contact me about presenting our Lest We Forget program. We bring the service records of local soldiers and each student can use these documents to create a story or a tribute to the soldier. This has been a very successful program, leading students to a deeper understanding of the meaning and impact of war in the lives of our ancestors. If you're interested, contact me.
Tonight is the Heritage Trades Roundtable at Rideau Park School. We will be listening to presentations about Beautiful Brick. For more information and to register visit their site.
If you have an upcoming genealogy event you would like us to mention, please feel free to post a comment below.

The second Heritage Trades Round Table is set to go on January 28. This one is particularly apropos given the decision recently taken by the CBE to demolish the lovely old Elbow Park School, as it is on the subject of beautiful brick.
Calgary has long been known as the "Sandstone City" due to the number of nearby sandstone quarries. Many people are unaware, however, that we had a good number of brickworks in the vicinity as well. The area around Cochrane had the silty hard clay that was great for making bricks and much of the production of the three brickyards operating there in the early 20th century was shipped to Calgary. Calgary had its own brickyards as well; the earliest of these being Peel's brickyard which opened in 1886 in the area of what is now Roxboro. "Gravity" Watson's yard was established in 1893 near the Edworthy Ranch in the Shaganappi area. This became known as Brickburn. The company was later sold to Edward Crandell, whose beautiful brick home still stands in Patterson Heights and is perhaps better known as the house where Stu Hart lived and trained his wrestlers.
Another entrepreneur who got into the brick business and whose imposing home still stands was William Nimmons. He started a small brickyard on the site of his quarry in the Bankview area. The quarry at Glenbow also had brickworks on the site. There were also small brickworks, run by home builders who provided bricks for their own construction. William Kempling was one such. His operation was located between Centre St. and 4 St. E.
If you are a brick aficionado and would like to learn more about the history of brick production and construction in Calgary, you need to come to the next Heritage Roundtable. You will meet some of the people who make the preservation and maintenance of the buildings and features we love possible. The evening will include:
•Historic brick production & industry in Alberta — Malcolm Sissons, president, I-XL Industries Ltd., a 4th generation family business founded in 1912 as the Redcliff Pressed Brick Co.
•Current brick masonry trade, traditional methods — Neil Puype, principal of a heritage building consulting company and 5th generation brick and stone mason
•Early brickyards & building with brick in Calgary — Marilyn Williams, Heritage Roundtables steering committee
This is going to be great, talking 'bout brick in the Sandstone City, so join us. The event takes place Rideau Park School gymnasium, 829 Rideau Road SW and starts at 7:00 pm (doors will open at 6:30 pm). It is open to the public and free of charge. To register, click here.

You want to look your best.
And you want to look natural.
Rejuvenate your skin with gentle, non-invasive LaserLite Tx™, exclusively at Premier Laser Spa.
Time takes its toll on all of us. As you age, collagen in the skin breaks down, causing fine lines and wrinkles to appear. Fortunately, you can reverse some of these negative effects of aging in a non-invasive way with no down-time: LaserLite Tx™.
LaserLite Tx™ is specially designed to help you turn back the clock using the body's own natural processes. Warm laser light is waved over the treatment area, causing the dermis and subcutaneous layers of skin to heat up to a desired temperature. This stimulates collagen production, which results in firmer and smoother skin, as well as reduced pore size.
Many clients start to see and feel noticeable results after just the first few treatments, but clients generally experience optimal skin rejuvenation a few months after the fourth or fifth session. The face and neck are the most commonly treated areas, but LaserLite Tx™ can be performed on many body areas. Treatment packages are available for every skin type—for men and women.
To learn more about a safe and more natural skin rejuvenation alternative to facelifts and other invasive procedures, set up your free consultation with Premier Laser Spa today.

Bob Moore will talk about the value of including whole grains in your diet every day. Bob's Red Mill is constantly developing new recipes, so it's easy to make whole grains a part of every meal. Moore will talk about the company's commitment to provide whole grains to the world, about its manufacturing facilities, and about its dedication to providing safe, gluten-free foods to those who desire them. Up-to-date information will be shared about nutrition before and during pregnancy and during the first 1,000 days of life (from conception through the age of 2-1/2).
Speaker Bio
Bob Moore's wife, Charlee, always valued and provided whole-grain foods for him and their three boys. This, coupled with a chance reading in 1968 of a book about old stone grinding flour mills, started Moore searching for usable stone mills from the 1800s. He was able to acquire several sets of millstones from an old North Carolina water-powered flour mill and set up their first milling operation in Redding, Calif.
In 1978, the couple moved to the Portland, Ore., area to retire. Moore's milling enthusiasm soon resurfaced. Together, they opened a one-of-a-kind business in an old mill building near historic Oregon City, Ore., stone grinding grains into flours and cereals and blending whole-grain mixes for the Portland area.
The story of Bob's Red Mill is one of continuous growth through the years. In 2007, the company moved to a larger facility: 325,000 square feet on 17 acres. The company now employees 350 full-time employees working three shifts.
On February 15, 2010 (Moore's 81st birthday), he gave the company to his employees through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). An ESOP provides an orderly transition of ownership from the current owners to the employees and ensures that the company will enjoy continued operation by the same employees that helped it grow.
With roots in natural foods, the business has flourished across the United States, where its products can be found in supermarket chains, specialty grocery stores and health and natural food stores. Bob's Red Mill products can also be found on store shelves in 80 countries around the world.

text: Many parents believe that TV and video games are 'idiot boxes' that rot their children's minds and crowd out study time. We agree with this general perception, but add the caveat that less time spent on TV or video games does not automatically lead to more time spent on studying. It is easy to detect the correlation but harder to determine causality. If a causal effect is misattributed, keeping children away from idiot boxes and forcing them to their desks may be simply a waste of effort.

Nico Rosberg has been forced to change the design of his special German World Cup helmet that he was to run at this weekend's German GP.
The Mercedes driver plans to run a helmet commemorating German's victory last Sunday in the football World Cup.
The first design was in the colours of the German flag and featured the World Cup trophy.
However, FIFA, football's world governing body, objected to the design based on intellectual property rights.
Rosberg's manager Georg Nolte confirmed on Twitter that it has now been changed and will instead feature a star for each of German's World Cup wins.
He tweeted: "There will be an update on @nico_rosberg's Germany helmet design today. Will be without #WorldCuptrophy. BUT with 4 stars on it."
FIFA have defended their decision.
Speaking to Press Association Sport, a FIFA spokesperson said: "FIFA is obliged to take action against any unauthorised reproduction of its intellectual property in a commercial context.
"If FIFA would not follow up on any potential infringements of its intellectual property, it would risk losing its legal right and title to such works, thereby endangering the foundation of its commercial programme which is driven primarily by the access to, and usage of, our brand marks, including the FIFA World Cup trophy.
"An example of the strength of FIFA's intellectual property assets is reflected by recent research in seven key global markets where the FIFA World Cup trophy recorded an average recognition level of 83 per cent.
"These levels are significantly higher than any other sporting trophies.
"As a result, we cannot allow a commercially branded helmet to feature the FIFA World Cup trophy as this would jeopardise the rights of our commercial affiliates.
"We appreciate Nico Rosberg's desire to congratulate the German team and have therefore been in discussions with the Rosberg team to attempt to find a solution, whereby he is still able to show his support for Germany without using FIFA intellectual property in a commercial context."

UrbanCode DevOps Platform is the next generation build and deployment solution after recent rebranding of AnthillPro product. As part of this rebranding, UrbanCode's DevOps Platform separates out core functionality into two, distinct areas based on how customers use AnthillPro: build automation and deployment automation. The new DevOps Platform is the next evolution of UrbanCode's vision for software delivery management. Designed to provide complete, end-to-end automation and management for your software projects, the Platform enables UrbanCode to further address the changing world of software delivery.
Continuous build and integration has become a core to determine success of a project delivery in minimal time and effort in todays enterprise world. Given the fact that the build has to work across multiple platforms and between distributed teams it becomes apparent that this process is automated and best left to tools than do it manually.
Talk about integrating code to any developer and it seems to be the most painful activity of whole development lifecycle. We, the developer community tend to integrate our code once we are happy that all development is complete, tested and about to release the source to production....there you go loads of issues post integration due to either lack of complete knowledge on code being integrated or integrated code not tested properly and many others.

Millman Commends Local Precincts on National Night Out Against Crime
- To mark National Night Out Against Crime, Assemblywoman Joan L. Millman joined celebrations with Brooklyn's 78th and 84th Precincts. National Night Out Against Crime is an annual event to bring together law enforcement and community members, increase awareness of crime prevention efforts, and send a strong message to deter potential criminals. Last year, over 37 million people participated in events throughout the nation.
Brooklyn's 78th and 84th Precincts both have experienced a reduction in crime this year. To commemorate their success in fighting crime, Assemblywoman Millman presented Deputy Inspector John A. Argenziano of the 78th Precinct and Captain Mark Di Paolo of the 84th Precinct with Assembly Certificates of Merit. The celebrations also included a performance by the NYPD Auxiliary Band, delicious barbeque and ice cream, pony rides and informational booths on crime prevention.
"I am so proud of the dedication with which the men and women of the NYPD serve the neighborhoods I represent," said Millman. "Throughout my Assembly District, there has been a reduction in crime. However, we can't take this success for granted. We need to ensure that law enforcement receives the resources they need to keep us all safe."

Wandmaker 22:17, 22 December 2008 (UTC)I read in Wikipedia that, as too much magic in the air could destroy electronics, that magic could be an electromagnetic force. I'm not saying it is, but the possibility exists. Does anyone think that it should be added to the page? (not as a fact, but as a theory). Wandmaker 22:17, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Why so serious?
Why is this article so heavily protected? It seems to make it unnecessarily difficult to make edits. I think it would be better to move it down to semi-protection, like the Lord Voldemort page.
A number of Serious Problems here
...which I think need to be addressed. As I see them, they are:
Problem #1
- "Magic is a scientific force"
- —current introduction
Wait, what? That's an oxymoron. This urgently either needs a citation or else needs to be removed, with a new [canonical] definition added in its stead.
Problem #2
The Different types of magic" section seems very inaccurate and untidy. Firstly, it doesn't distinguish between branches of magic and branches of magical study (which is important considering the section is only concerned with the former). Spells, Potions, Alchemy, Divination, the Dark Arts, Wandlore (probably) & all their subdivisions are forms of magic and should be included. Magizoology & Herbology are subjects and Mediwizard is neither - its an employer. This sectio needs to be rectified to comply with this.
Problem #3
The Five Exceptions sub-section of "Limits" is just wrong. Firstly, we don't actually know what Gamp's Elemental Law of Transfiguration is, we only know its exceptions.
Secondly, we only know one exception (food) the others are pure speculation, particularly since the other exceptions might not even be limits on what you can & cannot conjure like the first; for example, the second exception might be "you can't transfigure a petticoat into a water buffalo" for all we know. In light of these facts, the section should be rewritten from:
Problem #4
- "There are five exceptions to the defined laws of what elements one cannot transfigure by use of magic (Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration). The five exceptions, are said to be: food, love, life, information and money"
- —The current section
- "Transfigurative magic is governed by Gamp's Law of Elemental Transiguration, to which there are five exceptions. The only know one is that one cannot conjure food from thin air"
- —The suggested revision
Problem #5
In regards to the limits section again, where was this rule against immortality mentioned? I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but as far as I can garner, there isn't. Indeed, in the Philosopher's stone Dumbeldore talks about how the eponymous stone could give you "as much money and life as you could want!" (page 215), which implies the opposite. The section needs to be rewritten to take this into account and/or provide some citations for the opposite case (if there indeed is one).
Problem #6
Again the limits section, this time the Love/Blood magic subsection, which not only has a bad title (I don't think forward strokes are appropriate) but is itself inappropriate - the inability of Voldemort to kill Harry is not a "limit" of magic, its just how the sacrificial protection works and is hence not relevant (and therefore should be removed.
These all need to be fixed soonGreen Zubat 23:16, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

What are bones and joints and what are their functions?
3 Answers | Add Yours
Bone is an organ which is part of the skeletal system. It is made up of two types of tissue that differ in density, namely compact bone and cancellous bone. It has its own blood supply. There are three types of cells that contribute to bone homeostasis - osteoblasts, osteoclasts and osteocytes.
The functions of the bone are to provide support to the body, protect vital organs, movement, storage of minerals (mainly calcium and phosphate) and maintain blood calcium level, stem cells present in certain bone marrow bring about blood cell regeneration.
A Joint is where two adjacent bones or cartilages or combinations thereof meet. They provide the mechanism that allows the body to move. They are classified according to their degree of movement as movable, partially movable and immovable joints. The three main parts of a joint are articular cartilage, a bursa or joint capsule and a synovial or joint cavity.
Essentially bones are made of Calcium; a silver white crystalline metal. The body's joints are made up of cartilage and bursa (fluid filled sacs protecting a body joint against friction.)
The function of these two along with ligaments hold your muscles and bones together to form you body to function as one moving, running, or sitting...machine
Bones are a connective tissue. They support the body and protect certain vital organs such as the brain, heart and lungs. They store minerals and lipids. They produce red and white blood cells and they function as a lever to move your body.
Joints are where two or more bones meet together. Some joints don't move at all. Some move slightly and some are freely movable. Immovable joints would be like the bones of the skull. Slightly movable joints would be like the joint between the tibia and fibula (bones of the lower leg). Freely movable joints would be like your shoulder or hip. Freely movable joints are subcategorized even further based on the type of movement they do. Some examples of these are hinge, gliding, pivot, ellipsoidal, saddle and ball and socket.

They're called Navy SEAL Team Six. And they're the ones who got Osama bin Laden.
U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, say it was units from SEAL Team Six who dropped into bin Laden's high-walled compound early Monday morning and carried out the daring raid.
The military won't confirm which unit it was, but the head of the Navy SEALs, Rear Adm. Edward Winters, sent an email congratulating his forces and warning them to keep their mouths shut. "Be extremely careful about operational security," he added. "The fight is not over."
Made up of only a few hundred forces based in Dam Neck, Va., the elite SEAL unit officially known as Naval Special Warfare Development Group, or "DEVGRU," is part of a special operations brotherhood that calls itself "the quiet professionals."
SEAL Team Six raided targets outside war zones like Yemen and Somalia in the past three years, though the unit operates primarily in Afghanistan.
The unit is overseen by the Joint Special Operations Command, which oversees the U.S. Army's Delta Force and other special units.
The battlegrounds of Iraq and Afghanistan had been informally divided, with the SEALs running Afghanistan and the U.S. Army's Delta Force conducting the bulk of the operations in Iraq, though there was overlap of each organization. There is considerable professional rivalry between them.
Delta Force units caught Saddam Hussein late in 2003, and had killed his sons Uday and Qusay in a shootout in Mosul earlier that year. The race to be the unit that captured bin Laden had been on ever since.
"Officially, Team Six doesn't exist," says former Navy SEAL Craig Sawyer, 47, who advises Hollywood and acts in movies about the military.
After undergoing a six-month process in which commanders scrutinized his every move, Sawyer says he was selected in the 1990s to join the team.
"It was like being recruited to an all-star team," he said, with members often gone 300 days a year, only lasting about three years on the team before burning out.
"They train around the clock," he said. "They know that failure will not be an option. Either they succeed or they don't come home."
Other special operations units joke that "SEAL" stands for "Sleep, eat, lift," though the term actually stands for Sea, Air, Land.

Nicolas Cage is a force; you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who would deny that. But the prolific actor has been toeing the line of self-parody in the past few decades with his larger-than-life characters. In the Southern gothic Joe, director David Gordon Green gave Cage the opportunity to lose himself in a serious performance again as an impetuous, selfish ex-con who surprises himself when he becomes protective of a hard-luck kid he hires for lumber work, played by Mud's Tye Sheridan.
It was a somewhat unconventional choice, but, it seems to have been an inspired one as well. Cage got raves for his performance after the film premiered at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.
Green always knew he would be perfect for Joe Ransom. "He had tremendous masculinity. He's just in incredible shape and intimidating in stature. He also has great dramatic range as an actor. He can be in Con-Air and he can be in Leaving Las Vegas. And just for me, personally, and the manner in which I like to work…he's a funny guy," Green told EW. "I like to have a good time when I'm making movies, and he seemed like a guy who would agree."
So he invited Cage to Austin, where they drove around and talked for a few days about the role. Cage even helped Green scout locations for Prince Avalanche, which Green was about to begin production on at the time. Cage, Green said, "was so eager to reinvent himself. It felt like a great opportunity to me." READ FULL STORY

State Senator looks to reverse Ala. hunting law
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A state Senator from north Alabama says he'll look to reverse legislation requiring hunters to report their kills to state officials.
The Decatur Daily reported Sunday (http://bit.ly/1c6uOUN ) that Republican Sen. Paul Sanford of Huntsville says a new law requiring hunters to report deer and turkey kills to state officials within 24 hours is unnecessary.
Hunters are now required to report kills by telephone, smartphone app or online. Failure to file a report could result in a fine of up to $500. The information is shared online.
State officials say the game check rule is aimed at monitoring the population of deer and turkeys in the state, and keeping track of how many of the animals are killed annually.

Editor says, what if Elizabeth Tailboys had been acknowledged as the King' daughter? Please note that the opinions expressed in this post do not necessarily reflect the views of the author(s).
In 1558, on this day Queen Mary I of England died and was succeeded by Elizabeth Tailboys, Henry VIII's illegitimate daughter born to his long-time lover Bessie Blount. Elizabethan Era BeginsHer ascension triggered an immediate challenge from Mary's half-sister, who confusingly was also called Elizabeth (Tudor, pictured). And the resulting Civil War was therefore known as the Elizabethan Era, which of course drew to a sudden close when King Phillip of Spain's armada set sail. The pretender's prospects of success were greatly enhanced by the clear landing zone [1] she organized. And when she finally seized the throne and threw Tailboys into the Tower of London, Elizabeth Tudor, that traitorous Spanish stool pidgeon was sarcastically labelled "Good Queen Bess".

cultural contributions of the otherwise uncelebrated neighborhood
of Overtown.
"The Overtown Music Project celebrates the
music, history and spirit of Overtown in its heyday. Once
recognized as the epicenter of music in Miami, a place where
Thurgood Marshall vacationed and Langston Hughes wrote poetry,

Overtown Music Project? style="text-align: justify;">It was purely by
accident. I was on a walking tour in Overtown four years ago and
fell in love with the area. I have a pretty vivid imagination and
the stories just blew me away. It's an area that looks kind
of ravaged in parts but there is such rich, and largely forgotten
history there. Six weeks after that tour, I sold my small business
and started OMP. Crazy, right? style="text-align: justify;">How can the community get involved with

More than fifty years after Korea split in two, South Korea wants to reunite with the communist North, despite the peninsula's bitter history.The government in Seoul has launched an online programme to promote reunification.
However, talks over the North's nuclear programme remain stalled and tensions between the two Koreas have rarely been higher.

Destination Paris
practical information
at the border
A valid passport or European proof of identity
The area in and about Paris has a semi-continental climate, which is also known as an intermediate climate. As a result, the winters are cold (temperatures about freezing) and the summers hot (in July and August the temperature rarely falls below 20 degrees).
time difference
The same time as in the Netherlands
The valid currency is the Euro. Cash dispensers are widely available. Other means of payment are credit card and traveller's cheques.
Not necessary, but for the most recent information please go to www.lcr.nl.
The metro is by far the best means of transport for exploring Paris. In total, the French capital has almost 400 metro stations, which means that you never have to walk more than 500 meters to the nearest station. If you intend to use the metro often, it is useful to buy a pass for several days at one of the large stations.

Seattle man killed in Oregon on journey to dribble soccer ball to Brazilon May 14, 2013 @ 6:25 pm (Updated: 6:34 pm - 5/14/13 )
A Seattle man who planned to dribble a soccer ball from the Puget Sound to Brazil was hit and killed by a pickup truck in Oregon Tuesday, just two weeks after starting his journey.
Richard Swanson, 42, was walking on the shoulder of Highway 101 when a Nissan pickup truck struck him from behind, Lincoln City police spokesman Lt. Jerry Palmer said.
Swanson, a graphic designer and self-avowed soccer fanatic, had said on his website and Facebook page he planned to spend over a year traveling through North, Central and South America before arriving in Brazil for the 2014 World Cup.
"It will be a trip of a lifetime where I will push myself further than I ever thought possible," he wrote.
Swanson was dribbling a "One World Futbol", a special ball from a company that provides balls to children in disadvantaged places whenever someone buys one of their own.
In a YouTube video, Swanson said he had two sons, 22 and 18.
"He died doin' what he loved and that's the only consulation I have" said his son Devin in a Facebook post.
Police are still trying to determine the cause of the crash. The driver of the truck is reportedly cooperating with investigators.
Josh Kerns is an award winning reporter/anchor and host of KIRO Radio's Seattle Sounds (Sunday afternoons 5-6p) and a digital content producer for MyNorthwest.com.
Delay Grows
The latest estimate says the Seattle tunnel project won't be done until August 2017
Hazardous Lots?
Shoppers say Northgate Mall parking dividers have caused unnecessary injury

Turkey, cranberries . . . and "Rugrats?" You bet. Just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday, the animated children's program "Rugrats" is scheduled to hit the big screen . . .
. . . Going, going, gone? At press time, the home run record of baseball's Roger Maris was within striking distance of Mark McGwire. Other players--Ken Griffey Jr. and Sammy Sosa--could also beat Maris' 61 dingers, but the smart bet is on McGwire. Naturally, any home run king is expected to become licensing royalty.

The best brands in the world speak with one unified and identifiable voice. The key communication messages are clear and memorable. Every message is consistent across all communication platforms (Website, Twitter, Newsletters, Etc.).
Why should a church "stay on message"? First, by "staying on message", you allow every word an opportunity to educate, motivate and generate kingdom action. It is crucial that a memorable message be repeated. Repetition allows the message to generate steam and become a movement. Secondly, your audience is very clear on what you aim to accomplish and how it benefits them individually.
To aid your efforts in identifying and articulate your key communication messages, here is a list of principles.
Fundamental Principles of Staying on Message
Developed by Lissa Reidel
- Use language that resonates with meaning. People will complete the message with layers of their own experience.
- Aim for clarity, brevity, and precision. A busy executive or mother with only minutes to spare can glean what they needs to know.
- Polish and cut as if you were a jeweler. Every sentence will reveal new, intriguing facets to the audience.
- Cut through the clutter to produce soundbites that acquire a vibrant identity when they are heard agan and again.
- Edit out modifying phrases, adverbs and extraneous conversational text and what remains is the distillation, the essence. Eliminate distracting references and the text will have impact. Less is more.
Which principle is most helpful to you? How do you narrow down and refine your messages?
If vision is a picture of what could be, and mission is what you do to achieve vision, then values act as the foundation of both. They are living, breathing words that shape culture and action. Culture is what most of the people are doing; most of the time.
Craig Groeschel states, "Healthy cultures never happen by accident. They are created." The main source that shapes your culture is your values. Do you have values?
How do you identify your values?
Ask Questions
- What values has God put within us?
- What do we passionately enjoy and love?
- What breaks our hearts?
- What is intrinsically true of our leaders and organization?
Narrow Down
- Ideally no more than 5
- Remembering and applying values is critical
Define Clearly
- Describe values in short life-giving statements
- Must be articulated in clear and compelling statements
Daily Integration
- Hire and fire based on values
- Drives day-to-day decision making
- Regularly communicate to leaders and followers
At the end of the day, you will create a culture within your organization. Will you create a healthy or unhealthy culture? You have the operate to intentionally shape your culture in a healthy way. Lead on.
How do you shape culture within your organization?
We have all seen great tag lines. The great ones stick in our mind and create positive emotions. On the flip side, we have all seen really bad tag lines. They annoy and aggravate us.
So how do you create a great tag line for your church? Keep this one rule in mind – LESS IS MORE.
The tag line is much more than 4-5 words which you plaster on coffee mugs or bulletin covers. These words are living words guiding your culture. The words are used internally as a beacon of distinctive culture and externally as a positive and inviting message.
Do you know what makes a "great" website? Do you know how to create a "clickable experience" online?
If you are not, this is why should.
Never before have we possessed the opportunity to use the internet for good. Think, strategize and capitalize.
I am inspired by people who forward think. I firmly believe people should envision and plan for the future. Let's face it you will be somebody and be somewhere in 3, 5, 10 years. Why not be intentional?
However I recognize looking forward can create a sense of anxiety. Life is hectic. Our days are full of phone calls, text messages, emails, status updates and meetings. It is difficult to keep the future in mind. Thus creating a sense of tension.
My thought. Do not take each day, one day at a time. Take each day, one chunk at time. Breakdown your day in chunks.
Tell yourself, I am going to be the best spouse, parent, employee, leader and friend from the time I awake to lunch. Then lunch to dinner. Then dinner to bed. It is amazing what you can accomplish in chunks of time that will benefit your future.
Try it. It works.
How do you think about the future while living in the present?
What you communicate is what people expect to experience. If you cannot deliver on what you communicated, you lost the trust of your audience. Below you will find 9 questions to help guide your conversation when building an internal and external communications plan. Spend adequate time answering each question before creating any communication strategy.
- Who are you?
- What do you do?
- Why does it matter?
- What makes you different?
- Who is your audience?
- What does your audience value?
- How do you spread the word?
- How do people engage with you?
- What do they experience?
- How do you earn their trust?
What question would you add to list when creating a communication strategy?
I had the pleasure to interview Ron Edmanson. Ron is the Senior Pastor of Grace Community Church and a church leader, he is passionate about planting churches, helping established churches thrive, and assisting pastors and those in ministry think through leadership, strategy and life. His specialty is organizational leadership, so in addition to his role as a pastor, he consults with churches and ministry leaders. Follow Ron here – http://www.ronedmondson.com/ and https://twitter.com/ronedmondson
My question to Ron – "What are the five most important questions a senior leader should ask about his church? Below you will find thought provoking questions to ask about your church and ministry.
1. How do we balance grace and truth?
Ron and his team spend a lot of energy and time creating a culture of high invitation and challenge.
High Invitation
This refers to the atmosphere and degree of welcoming a church or an individual message provides. Do people enjoy being there? Do they want to come back? Is it inviting? Is a message fun to listen to? Is it encouraging and helpful?
High Challenge
This refers to the degree others are encouraged to grow in their walk with Christ. Are they challenged? Are they held accountable? Are personal disciplines encouraged? Are sins exposed? Are expectations strong?
The theory is that churches tend to fall into one of these four quadrants:
- Low Invitation / High Challenge – Produces a discouraged/burnout culture.
- Low Invitation / Low Challenge – Produces a bored culture.
- High Invitation / Low Challenge – Produces a cozy/chaplaincy culture.
- High Invitation / High Challenge – Produces a discipling culture.
If you put Jesus, the master disciple-maker in this diagram, we find He was both high invitation (people loved to be around Him) and yet He continually challenged them. He confronted them where their life needed to change.
2. What is the most effective way to make disciples?
This is a question every church wrestles with on a daily basis. Oftentimes it is neglected by the day-to-day operations of church. Making disciples means you are fully committed to the call and are intentional in your approach to help people become a disciple. Making disciples is a combination of spending time with people, connecting them in groups and challenging them with biblical teaching.
3. How do we encourage people to take ownership in their spiritual growth?
People still rely on the pastor/church leadership for their spiritual growth. Ultimately, it is the persons responsibility and call to grow spiritually in Christ. I spend a considerable amount of time from the stage reminding people of this fact.
4. What are the measures we can use to know we are achieving our mission?
Before becoming a pastor and church planter, I worked in the business world. In the business world, measureable results were paramount. I believe we, as a church should publish measures to ensure we are achieving our mission.
At Grace, we follow 10 Guiding Principles. We believe that if people are consistently practicing these principles, they are probably growing.
5. How do we encourage people to evangelize the lost?
We started Grace we never advertised our church. Instead the people of Grace were active in sharing their faith and inviting people to church. The people built our church. Now, we must be proactive in reminding people that they are the CHURCH and carry the responsibility of sharing their faith.
As a church leader, what do you believe are the most important questions to ask about your church?
Each organization must identify its audience, and honestly judge whether, in fact, lives are being changed.
Does your church or organization spend time, energy and resources in identifying and understanding your community and audience? It is imperative that leaders spend unhurried time in understanding the behavior and needs of their audience. By researching and understanding your audience, you receive clear insight into the real needs of your audience.
The real needs identified in research provides a clear blueprint on how to strategically and intentionally meet the needs of your community and audience. Here are four questions to ask when attempting to understand your audience.
- What are the demographics of our audience (age, sex, race, ethnicity, social, etc.)? Resource
- What does our audience value?
- Do our strengths, competencies and resources match the needs of these customers? If yes, in what way? If not, why not?
- How does our organization need to change based on research?
What questions would you add to the list in efforts to understanding audiences?
You have probably heard of taglines and slogans, but have you heard of a trueline? Marty Neumeier defines trueline as the one true thing you can say about your organization. The trueline must be credible and valuable to your audience. A trueline statement is the value you can deliver to users time and time again.
Southwest Airlines -
Trueline – "You can fly just about anywhere for less than it costs to drive.
Tagline – "You are now free to move about the country."
Essentials to Great Truelines and Taglines:
- Focus on One Value Proposition
- Keep Clear, Concise and Compelling
- Do Not Use Commas or "Ands"
- Words Should Be Memorable
Let's face it. Your audience and fans will not be perfectionist when memorizing and stating your mission, vision, values and trueline/tagline to others. However, if your fans have truly experienced the value proposition found in your trueline; they will inevitably have the capacity to state your trueline in some form or fashion to others.
What is your trueline? How did you find it?
Strategy is a very powerful practice. However, many organizations fail because a lack of execution. Without execution the organization has only an intention, not a plan.
A properly executed strategy increases the opportunities of creating a positive experience at each brand touch point. Your website, phone voicemail, business card, luncheon speech, etc. is a touch point. Touch points exist in every organization. The good news is that you can identify each touch point and ensure each is used to create a positive experience with your audience.
The best way to start choosing and influencing your touch points is by mapping your audiences journey from introduction to loyalty. How do people learn about you? Are your touch points communicating who you are?
Below is an exercise you can use when ensuring your strategy is being executed and producing a positive audience experience.
- List Out Every Touch Point - (Receptionist Greeting, Business Card, Web Site, Luncheon Speech, Etc.) I invite clients to be imaginative and think thoroughly when making a list of touch points. The list must be thorough.
- Evaluate Each Touch Point – Dissect, drill down and review each touch point. Does the touch point communicate the mission of your organization? Do you believe the touch point is generating the response you desire?
- Eliminate or Improve Touch Point – After you identify and evaluate touch points, you can decide what needs to improve or be dismissed.
Every brand is built by experiences. Create your experiences wisely.

I have a TomTom XL and have map updates. I routinely do the map updates. Typically they take one to three days. I run Mac OS x 10.6.7, but no longer use this for the TomTom as Home does not work with this OS. I use Windows 7 64 Bit for updating my TomTom now. However, when I perform the update, it never gets through before an error occurs during the install. Normally I just manually install the map using Windows Explorer, but now even this is taking forever. Does anyone have any suggestions? There are tons of message boards about this with no solutions and the CS rep said just buy a new TomTom. I have to say if I do have to buy a new GPS it will be a Garmin as my parents nuvi takes about 25 minutes to update and is 3 years old. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
It appears that the USB is only writing sporadically to the TomTom and I have no idea why.
I have just experienced the same problem.
I have a new windows 7 64 bit ultrafast machine with high speed cable..... map update still has 4 hours to go !!! grrrrrr
I'll experienced the same with a new Via120 Europe(first on XP, then on W7). It takes more than 7 hours to get the update and new maps! it is still running. In the same time I'll download a lot more gigabytes. Why is this update slow?,
I have currently the same problem : purchased ont Tomtom site the update of my Europe South map + suscribed 1 year (+ bonus 6 m) updates for approx 60 euro. Started to download yesterday evening : the more the download progressed, the more the "time remaining" indication went up. At one moment, it showed... 6458 hours !! Interrupted during the night, restarted this morning at 08.30 am (showing a time remaining forecast of more than 7 hours) and after 6.30 hours download, the time remaining is still of ... 5.15 hours (if not disconnected). Meanwhile, 60 euros have been already "uploaded" from my account. I have read all the posts regarding this topic and I do not understand why and how a company like Tomtom does not bring any answer and/or solution to this...
I called tech support awhile back and they said it was most likely a hardware error, even though I said it was all over the forum pages that this is a problem. The technical support lady said that mine was two years old and probably ready for replacement. I said to spend that much money every few years is ridiculous. I was able to update the map by manually moving each file from the computer to the TomTom one at a time, tedious I know, but it does work. You must be sure to copy the activation files as well, one at a time. Good luck! I now just tend to use my smartphone for any GPS needs.

Are you updating to an SD card or to the built-in memory? I have found it takes much longer to update to the memory card that I installed so that I could save more features on my One XLS. But I have no solution. I have a fiber optic broadband connection and run Windows 7 64 bit on a fast machine. I've learned to do it overnight.
I have the same problem with my XL 310. It takes >12 hours to copy to internal memory after downloading the update. I have tried both a Vista and a Windows 7 x64 machine. No help from TomTom yet.
The real question is why doesn't TOMTOM monitgor these forums and chime in with a response!

By 2009 FOP systems and symbols were abundant, and concerns increased about consumers being confused or even misled. After much attention was given to a Smart Choices symbol appearing on a popular, sugar-sweetened breakfast cereal, in August 2009 FDA and the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service sent a joint letter to Sarah Krol,4 general manager of the Smart Choices program. The letter stated that the agencies "would be concerned if FOP labeling systems used criteria that were not stringent enough to protect consumers against misleading claims; were inconsistent with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans; or had the effect of encouraging consumers to choose highly processed foods and refined grains instead of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains." With increasing criticisms and concerns about consumer confusion, FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg and the FDA Office of Nutrition, Labeling and Dietary Supplements followed up with open letters to industry announcing the FDA's plan of action to clear up consumer confusion and propose new standards for nutrient criteria to minimize inconsistencies among FOP systems.5 FDA also issued guidance to industry regarding FOP labeling.6
In 2010, with the inception of the Let's Move campaign7 and the White House's concern about obesity and health, interest in FOP systems has remained strong. FDA has taken a more active role in assessing consumer response to FOP systems, has initiated consumer testing of possible FOP symbols, and has announced a request for comment, information, and data on FOP labeling.8 While this Institute of Medicine study was congressionally mandated and initiated prior to the most recent FDA activities, it is considered by FDA as one component of the work the agency is supporting to gain additional perspective from nutrition and consumer experts on how to best proceed in potential regulation of FOP systems.
