You might have noticed that we sell a lot of pun shirts. Not just pun, not just two. Puns of them! Usually we keep them locked up in a punitentiary, but not this week. No, this week we're letting them pun wild across shirts, hoodies, and long-sleeve tees! So many puns in one place? Why, it's the eighth punder of the world!
On the one hand, I'd love to get some of these for my more punny friends. On the other hand, encouraging their incessant punnery is likely to result in homicide.
Is the Resist design just a pun for resistors or is there something else I'm missing? Thinking of ordering it and am not looking to get stopped on the street because someone's a fan of something I haven't a clue about.
What? Only a few of them are available as hoodies. I would have loved to add Pandemonium as a hoodie to go with my Pandemonium tshirt.
willing to buy 3 sweaters of the Pandemonium I have no idea how to contact @no1 directly.. hope he sees this!
Thericochet- I believe when I originally designed the shirt the description was "Join the resistance!", it was meant to be sort of a revolution, stick it to the man pun.

Punishment enough, really. Forgive me, Woot, for I have punned.
Siamese fighting fish. I just can't get past it.
I wish they would put these images in a calendar. I'd love to have these at my work desk -- it isn't appropriate to wear t-shirts to my office.

you could try a séance! but thanks for the thought. and thanks to woot for printing the design again!
Please make short sleeved versions of these, I dont understand why you dont always do that. Specifically the RESIST one.
Wear Pandamonium to Giants vs Mariners game.

uhhh, they most likely have before.
I'd love to get the Navy Seals one in a long sleeve tee.
I was expecting a teerible sale, easy to resist, but as I craned my head over the screen, I saw seal team three having a kiwi just before pandemonium broke out when the japanese fish started fighting over the swiss cheese. If the emperor has his way, there'll be mug shots for all these cursers.* *I gnowm I forgot the metrosexuals, err, metrognostics, but sew watt?
I dunno what that Gnome is wearing but it looks more 'Retro' than Metro.
Are the "Puns & Wordplay" shirts digitally printed or screened? I bought one of the pandemonium shirts earlier and with the digital printing it was difficult to see the black design aspects.
icker32 wrote:Are the "Puns & Wordplay" shirts digitally printed or screened?
Screened - and email support @ woot.com if you have concerns about the quality of the DTG print. (You should get an autoreply within a few hours with a ticket number; if not, your email got eaten in woot's Hungry, Hungry Spam Filter.)
Happy dance of joy for Pandamonium and Mug Shot! (...of course, this was before the 'reprint on demand' option was back). They're due to arrive today... can't wait to get 'em!

This growing collection of fully searchable historical American newspapers is the most extensive resource of its kind. With nearly 1,500 titles from all 50 states, Early American Newspapers provides an unparalleled record of the topics, people, issues and events that have shaped America for nearly three centuries.
Guest curated by graduate student Katie Wills
Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

- "I met him when I travelled around the world. A foolish young man I was then, full of ridiculous ideas about good and evil. My master showed me how wrong I was. There is no good and evil... there is only power, and those too weak to understand it... Since then, I serve him faithfully, although I have let him down many times."
- —Quirinus Quirrell on Lord Voldemort[src]
Professor Quirinus Quirrell (26 September,[1] possibly in the 1950s or 1960s[2] - 4 June, 1992) was a wizard who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into Ravenclaw House.[1] He was the Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts, though he later became the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher during the 1991–1992 school year.
Before teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts, Quirrell went out in search of Lord Voldemort, believing he could achieve recognition for finding him and could learn things that would ensure that no one laughed at him again. However, Voldemort, after finding out that he taught at Hogwarts, took over his body, though Quirrell put up some feeble resistance. He died when trying in vain to murder Harry Potter.
Early life
- "Oh, yeah. Poor bloke. Brilliant mind. He was fine while he was studyin' outta books but then he took a year off ter get some firsthand experience..."
- —Rubeus Hagrid on Quirrell's youth.[src]
Quirinus Quirrell was born somewhere in the British Isles, presumably in the 1950s or 1960s[2], and attended Hogwarts, where he was Sorted into Ravenclaw House[1] in the 1960s or '70s[2]. It is likely that he acquired his wand from Ollivanders Wand Shop when he was eleven.
As a boy, Quirinus was a gifted but also delicate, teased for his timidity and nerves during his school life. Feeling inadequate and wishing to prove himself, he developed an (initially theoretical) interest in the Dark Arts. The feelings of insignificance and worthlessness that this bullying fostered embittered the boy, forging a latent desire to make the world sit up and notice him.[1]
He also most likely obtained a high-graded O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. in Muggle Studies and Defence Against the Dark Arts, since not only did he go on to teach both but was also noted to have had a gift for the theory of Defensive Magic.[1]
Meeting Lord Voldemort
- "When I failed to steal the stone from Gringotts, he was most displeased. He punished me...decided he would have to keep a closer watch on me..."
- —Quirinus Quirrell to Harry Potter on his first failure[src]
After teaching Muggle Studies for some time, he took a year-long sabbatical in 1990 in order to "gain first-hand experience",[4] though in reality he had taken a 'Grand Tour' around the world in order to hopefully find whatever remained of Lord Voldemort after his first defeat, partly out of curiosity, partly out of that unacknowledged desire for importance from his childhood. At the very least, Quirrell fantasised that he could be the man who tracked Voldemort down, but at best, might learn skills from Voldemort that would ensure he was never laughed at again. His journey proved successful as he did indeed find Voldemort, though he was no match for the Dark Lord (even in such a weakened state) and when he realised that Quirinus had a position at Hogwarts, Voldemort took immediate possession of Quirrell, who was incapable of resisting.
Quirrell also adopted a turban for everyday use after this sabbatical, claiming to have received it from an African prince as compensation for disposing of a zombie.[9] It was also rumoured that he encountered vampires in the Black Forest, in Albania, and had a nasty bit of trouble with a hag.[4]
Quirrell at some unknown point prior to 1991 came into possession of Vault 998 in the new vault area of Gringotts Wizarding Bank. He kept a small box containing various belongings, a large crate, and a chest containing Circe's Chocolate Frog Card that was given by Cuthbert Binns to James Potter before Quirrell came into possession of it.[10]
Serving the Dark Lord
- "Yes, Severus does seem the type, doesn't he? So useful to have him swooping around like an overgrown bat. Next to him, who would suspect p-p-poor, st-stuttering P-Professor Quirrell?"
- —Quirrell (possibly influenced by Voldemort) on Harry's suspicions about Snape after revealing himself[src]
Quirrell spent his last year of life attempting to procure the Philosopher's Stone for Lord Voldemort, who used his nervous disposition to his advantage, as his perceived lack of confidence had earned very little respect from the students at Hogwarts and consequently diverted suspicion away from his plans.[9]
Quirrell's first plan was enacted before the school term started and involved going to Diagon Alley in an attempt to steal the Philosopher's Stone from Gringotts Wizarding Bank for Voldemort.[3] While in the Leaky Cauldron, he met Harry Potter, who had come with Rubeus Hagrid. Quirrell pretended that he was going to buy a new book on vampires.[11]
Quirrell was unsuccessful in his attempted robbery, as Rubeus Hagrid had removed the Stone from its vault earlier that same day on Albus Dumbledore's orders.[4] After this first failure, Voldemort began to share Quirrell's body to ensure no further failure would occur,[3] and as Voldemort's face was sticking out of the back of his head, Quirrell had to wear a purple turban for the entire school year.[12] Quirrell tried to put up feeble resistance on occasion, but Voldemort was far too strong for him
After this attempted break-in, he returned to Hogwarts to teach as Defence Against the Dark Arts[4] while another wizard replaced him as Muggle Studies Professor.[10] A few of his classes included the Curse of the Bogies,[13] the Knockback Jinx,[11] the Lumos spell[11] and the Verdimillious spell.[14] On Halloween, Quirrell allowed a troll to enter Hogwarts as a diversion, and sneaked to the restricted Third Floor Corridor where the Stone was being hidden. Severus Snape, who suspected Quirrell, followed him, and was bitten by the three-headed dog Fluffy in the process of trying to head Quirrell off.[3]
Later in the year, during a Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin, Quirrell made his first attempt at Harry Potter's life. He jinxed Harry's broomstick to try to throw him off, but Severus Snape interfered again with a counter-curse. It was Hermione Granger who ultimately stopped Quirrell by rushing to set fire to the robes of Severus Snape (whom she believed was jinxing Harry's broom), and in the process, causing Quirrell to break the eye contact necessary for performing his spell correctly.[3]
When Harry, Ron, and Hermione believed that Severus Snape was trying to intimidate Quirrell into helping him steal the Philosopher's Stone, they tried to be supportive and encouraging to Quirrell whenever possible by telling people off for laughing at his stutter, or winking at him encouragingly whenever they passed him.[15]
Later that year, in order to keep his master alive, Quirrell began to prey on unicorns in the Forbidden Forest and drink their blood. He met Harry, Draco Malfoy and Fang there, and was about to attack Harry when Firenze rescued the boy. About a week before Harry's exams, Voldemort ordered Quirrell to try to get the Stone again. Harry overheard this, and mistook the conversation for an argument between Snape and the Defence teacher. That night, after Dumbledore had left for London , both Quirrell and the Trio went through the obstacles blocking the way to the Stone.[3] To get past Fluffy, Quirrell disguised himself and lured Hagrid into a card game by betting a dragon's egg. During the game, he managed to draw out information about Fluffy by convincing Hagrid that he was a Dragon dealer, and as such, shared Hagrid's penchant for dangerous pets. In Hagrid's enthusiasm, and most likely under the influence of alcohol, he let slip that playing music for the three-headed dog would put him to sleep. Quirrell then sent a forged letter to Professor Dumbledore summoning him to the Ministry of Magic to get him away from the school. He went after the Stone, but was followed by Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger — though they believed their enemy to be Severus Snape.
Battle in the Philosopher's Stone Chambers and death
- "Master, I cannot hold him — my hands — my hands!"
- —Quirrell's last words.[src]
Quirrell was able to penetrate the first six chambers that protected the Philosopher's Stone, including the chamber in which he himself put a Troll. He reached the final chamber only to find the Mirror of Erised, and was unable to figure out how to take the stone from it, going so far as to consider smashing the mirror.[3]
Eventually, Harry alone managed to reach the last chamber, and was surprised to meet Quirrell instead of Snape. Quirrell non-verbally bound Harry and summoned a wall of fire behind the door to prevent him from escaping, then, on Voldemort's command, forced Harry to look into the mirror. Harry saw his reflection with the Stone in his own trousers' pocket, and felt it indeed being transferred to his real pocket. When Harry lied about what he saw in the mirror, Quirrell unwrapped his turban to reveal Lord Voldemort's face, bound to the back of his head.
Quirrel's life ended then, when Voldemort forced him to attempt the murder of Harry Potter (figuring out Harry had the Stone and being unable to persuade him to give it willingly). Unfortunately, the body Quirrell and Voldemort were both sharing manifested in burns and blisters during his fight with Harry due to the protective power Harry's mother left in his skin when she died for him. Harry collapsed from the pain in his scar, but Quirrell's body was burnt so horribly that Voldemort dispossessed his body and left him to collapse and die. However, despite being effectively turned into a living Horcrux for the last year of his life, Quirrell did not ultimately lose his soul, having even tried to put up feeble resistance on occasion (in spite of the fact that Voldemort was far too strong for him).
Physical description
- "Even Professor Quirrell was tremblin' ter meet yeh — mind you, he's usually tremblin'."
- —Rubeus Hagrid to Harry Potter[src]
Quirrell was a young man with a very pale skin tone[4] and light blue eyes.
[6]When Quirrell returned from his sabbatical in Albania, one of his eyes developed a twitch and he appeared quite pale and anxious and frequently stuttered. At the start of the term, he was wearing a purple turban.[12] He was usually trembling and prone to fainting.[16]
Near the end of his life, his reason for wearing the turban became clear. Quirrell had joined with Lord Voldemort and agreed to allow Voldemort's fledgling body to latch on to the back of his head. It was only able to grow into a face, and used Quirrell for transportation and sustenance.[3]
Personality and traits
- "He didn't realize that love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves its own mark . . . to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever. It is in your very skin. Quirrell, full of hatred, greed, and ambition, sharing his soul with Voldemort, could not touch you for this reason. It was agony to touch a person marked by something so good."
- —Albus Dumbledore explains Quirrell's demise[src]
Quirrell was a gullible, weak-willed wizard who was easily corrupted. Due to his childhood of being teased and neglected for his timid nature, he came to develop a latent desire for recognition and greatness, cynical feeling for society, and was seduced by the Dark Arts, no matter how subtle the lure appeared at first, which led him to foolishly search out for Lord Voldemort's remains in the hopes of fame and knowledge, while exposing his impressionable and naive side to the fallen Dark Lord. When Quirrell met Lord Voldemort, he arrived at the conclusion that "there is no good and evil, there is only power, and those too weak to seek it". Quirrell generally did his best to serve Voldemort, though he admitted that his attempts were not always successful, seeing as he was being given rather tall orders. Despite Quirrell's continuous descent into corruption, he at least had one piece of redemption of attempting to resist Voldemort's soul of possessing his body, feeble and futile though it may be.
Throughout the school year, Quirrell appeared nervous and timid. He frequently stuttered and was mostly an incompetent teacher. Though his nervousness was probably very real due to the enormous pressure being put upon him by Voldemort, Quirrell had a chillingly sinister side that most people never saw. He was extremely adept at conniving and manipulation; at one point, he disguised himself and tricked Hagrid into revealing crucial information on how to get past one of the obstacles protecting the Philosopher's Stone. Another time he let a fully-grown Mountain Troll into the school on Halloween as a diversion while he headed off to the third-floor corridor and tried to penetrate its defenses. He even managed to deceive the great Albus Dumbledore by forging a Ministry letter to him to lure him away from school.
Magical abilities and skills
- "Can't nothing interfere with a broomstick except powerful Dark magic- no kid could do that to a Nimbus Two Thousand."
- —Rubeus Hagrid on Quirrell's powers.[src]
Quirrell was known to have a brilliant mind[4] and had an excellent aptitude for theoretical learning, particularly when it came to Defensive Magic (though was less competent in the application of that knowledge[1]). Whilst this made him a highly intelligent student and a good teacher it did not make him a great wizard. Indeed, most of the power he displayed appeared to be the result of his possession by Lord Voldemort, whom he was noted to have gained a significant amount of power from[3].
- Charms: Whilst the true extent of Quirrell's expertise in this area is unknown, he does teach several charms during his Defence Against the Dark Arts classes such as Verdimillious Uno (red form) and Lumos[11] and so at least has some basic skills in charming (at least, with regards to the theory).
- Transfiguration: Quirrell was apparently skilled with conjuration, a difficult branch of Transfiguration. He could conjure ropes, both non-verbally and verbally.
- Defence Against the Dark Arts: Quirrell was noted to be learned in the theory of Defensive Magic[1] and as such was hailed as a good teacher by Ministry of Magic standards[17]. This is exemplified by his ability to teach his First Year class the aforementioned spells Verdimillious Uno (red form), Lumos, the Curse of the Bogies and the Knockback Jinx. Still, whilst this all made him a great teacher of D.A.D.A. it did not make him a good practitioner[1].
- Non-verbal magic: Quirrell was capable of performing non-verbal magic, conjuring ropes without a wand.[3] Whilst this could easily have been the result of his power boost received from Lord Voldemort's possession, Quirinus was the possessor of an alder wand (which emphasises nonverbal magic) and hence it is likely that he was already truly skilled in this area of magic prior to his meeting with the Dark Lord.
- Creature expert: He was uncommonly gifted with trolls being able to bring one into Hogwarts on Hallowe'en.[3] He was somehow able to acquire a Norwegian Ridgeback dragon egg to give to Hagrid.[3]
Lord Voldemort
Quirinus Quirrell first met Lord Voldemort in 1991, in the forests of Albania, where Voldemort subjugated Quirrell into servitude. Quirrell brought him back to England, and eventually to Hogwarts. The Dark Lord planned to obtain the Philosopher's Stone and fabricate Elixir of Life to acquire a body.[18] Quirrell attempted to infiltrate Vault 713 of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, in order to steal the Philosopher's Stone. Quirrell managed to break in, but found the vault had been emptied by Rubeus Hagrid and Harry Potter earlier that day.[3]
Following this failed attempt, Voldemort began a parasitic relationship with Quirrell, in which he attached himself to the back of Quirrell's head, to ensure his plans were being followed precisely. Voldemort ordered Quirrell to kill Harry Potter, though Quirrell's attempts to do so were thwarted by Severus Snape and Hermione Granger. Harry penetrated the Philosopher's Stone Chambers in pursuit of Snape, or so he believed, only to find it was Quirrell in front of the Mirror of Erised. Quirrell, under Voldemort's orders, demanded Harry draw the Stone from the Mirror; though Harry was successfully able to retrieve the stone, he attempted to conceal the fact by lying about what he saw in the mirror. Quirrell revealed Voldemort, who tried to manipulate Harry into handing over the Stone by offering him the chance to see his parents, and upon Harry's refusal, ordered Quirrell to take the stone by force. Quirrell, sharing his body with Voldemort, found himself unable to touch "a person marked by something so good" (referring to Lily Potter's sacrificial protection). Voldemort separated his soul from Quirrell's body to escape the pain, and left Quirrell to die, as Albus Dumbledore noted, showing him as little mercy as he did his enemies.[3]
Three years later, after his return, Voldemort told his Death Eaters that Quirrell was a fool, and that he only allied with him for his position as a professor at Hogwarts.[18]
Harry Potter
Quirrell first met Harry Potter in 1991, at the Leaky Cauldron, in Diagon Alley. Quirrell greeted Harry in the same way most of the wizarding community did, seeming thrilled to meet "The Boy who Lived". Though Harry found Quirrell's twitchy behaviour odd, he was generally pleased to meet Quirrell, as a friend of Hagrid's and as his soon-to-be Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts. [4]
Harry eventually came to believe that Severus Snape was attempting to threaten Quirrell into helping him penetrate the defences surrounding the Philosopher's Stone, for Lord Voldemort. As it seemed like the only thing standing between Snape and a means of restoring Voldemort to power was Quirrell's will, Harry did what he could to encourage Quirrell and help build his confidence.[15]
As it turned out, Quirrell was a servant of Voldemort, and it was he, not Snape, who was aiming to steal the Philosopher's Stone for the Dark Lord, and, if possible, kill Harry along the way. When they met for the last time in the final of the Philosopher's Stone Chambers, Quirrell's connection to Lord Voldemort rendered him unable to touch Harry without experiencing unbearable pain, due to the enduring power of Lily Potter's sacrificial protection, and he died attempting to steal the stone from Harry by force.[3]
Hogwarts staff
- "He, of course, never trusted me again. He barely left me alone. But he doesn't understand. I'm never alone. Never."
- —Quirrell commenting on his relationship with Snape.[src]
Quirrell generally got along well with most of the faculty at Hogwarts, including Filius Flitwick, Pomona Sprout, Minerva McGonagall and Rubeus Hagrid. Hagrid seemed to think highly of Quirrell, and considered him to be a very clever and talented wizard for his extensive world travels and experience fighting the Dark Arts.[4] However, as Quirrell did not show his true personality, it is possible he did not like all of them.
Severus Snape, however, was the only one who saw Quirrell for what he really was. His contempt partially stemmed from the fact that Quirrell was the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor — a position that Snape had wanted for years. Snape may have guessed that Quirrell was hiding his true intentions, as he told him to "decide where his loyalties are", though Harry Potter and his friends believed that Snape was threatening Quirrell in order to get information about how to get into the Philosopher's Stone chamber.[19] Years later, Snape described Quirrell as greedy and worthless to Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy.[20]
As Headmaster Albus Dumbledore was a highly intelligent and powerful wizard somewhat suspected Quirrell's true nature; this is further evidenced by the fact he asked Snape to keep an eye on Quirrell.[21] After the events in the Philosopher's Stone chambers, Dumbledore expressed his opinion to Harry that Quirrell, much like Voldemort, was flawed for his inability to understand "good and evil", and his desire for power.[3]

- Quirinus Quirrell was played by Ian Hart in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Archive footage of Quirrell from Philosopher's Stone appears in the "Prince's Tale" sequence of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.
- David Thewlis, who went on to play Professor Lupin in the film adaptations, was at one point considered for the role of Professor Quirrell.
- Quirinus Quirrell served as a temporary Horcrux when Voldemort's soul possessed his body in 1991. But the piece of the soul lived on, when Quirrell died, and was destroyed six years later, when Voldemort was killed[1].
- Quirinus was a Roman god about whom there is not much information, although he is commonly associated with war — a clue that Quirrell is not quite as meek as he appears.
- 'Quirrell', which is so nearly 'squirrel' — small, cute and harmless — also suggested 'quiver', is a nod to the character's innate nervousness.
- Quirinus is also used as an epithet for the Roman god Janus, a god with two faces similar to Quirrell after he was possessed by Lord Voldemort. This could be clue to the malevolence of his character. Also, Janus was the god of beginnings, and Quirrell was the first one to find Voldemort in Albania, thereby beginning the Dark Lord's rise to power, in a way.
- On the student list shown by J. K. Rowling on Harry Potter and Me, a student named "Quirrell" was listed, but the name was crossed out with "Rivers" written above it.
- Quirrell was the first known Ravenclaw introduced in the series, though his house was only revealed on Pottermore.
- He is also the first Harry Potter character to be directly involved with Voldemort. Snape, who also appeared in the first book, is not at that point revealed as a former Death Eater.
- In the novels, Quirrell does not appear to have his turban until after his failed attempt to steal the Philosopher's Stone from Gringotts. In the film however, Quirrell has his turban before the robbery. This change is indicated by the fact that he shakes Harry's hand at the Leaky Cauldron in the novel, but does not wish to in the film. However, not wanting to shake Harry's hand cannot be due Voldemort sharing Quirrell's body, because as Quirrell dies, he does not understand what is happening to him (he yells, "What is this magic?!").
- In the films, Quirrell dies when Harry touches him and he disintegrates, Voldemort leaving his body immediately afterward. In the book, however, even though his death is not shown, it is implied by Voldemort in the fourth book that he died rather because Voldemort left his body, as opposed to Harry's love burning him.
- Quirrell is notable as being one of few wizards capable of performing intricate magic, like Dumbledore, without a wand; he can fly without a wand, conjure ropes by snapping his fingers, etc. It is possible that he had this ability because of Voldemort's possession of him, although Hagrid's high opinion of Quirrell suggests that Quirrell was a talented wizard.
- Quirrell is unique among Voldemort's followers as one of the few who use Voldemort's name. While the Death Eaters call Voldemort "The Dark Lord" when referring to him, Quirrell openly uses Voldemort's name when talking to Harry.
- Quirrell is a playable character in LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4. Despite dying in the first year, he can still be played in the other years and is seen at the end of Year 1 armless and heavily bandaged in the hospital wing. He is capable of using Dark Magic in the game. It is also possible to play both professor Quirrell in Voldemort form and his normal form with turban. However, he can only use Dark Magic when he is in his Voldemort form.
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and the PC version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort spins Quirrell's head 180 degrees to face Harry. Quirrell can also shoot fireballs and create a ghostly green head that can harm Harry.
- In all versions of LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and some of the video game adaptations of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone , Quirrell is misspelled Quirrel.
The name "Quirinus" is possibly derived from the Sabine word quiris meaning "spear". Quirinus was a Sabine and Roman god who was later identified with Mars. The name was also borne by several early saints.
"Quirinus" is also associated to the Roman god Janus, as in Janus Quirinus. Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and transitions, is often depicted as two-faced, with one visage looking forward, to the future, and one looking back, to the past. This image is reminiscient, of course, of Voldemort's face set opposite Quirrell's own.

- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 As Quirrell somehow came into possession of a Chocolate Frog Card that he knew Binns had given to James Potter while he was at school, and perhaps that he often called Snape by his first name, and the fact that Snape seemed to know him rather well, are possible implications that he attended Hogwarts at the same time as the Marauders? This would also make sense since Hagrid referred to him as being a "brilliant mind" while studying magical theory, and that he was gamekeeper during the 1970s while Ogg was previously.

Interview with Peruvian finance minister Luis Miguel Castilla
Castilla: Growth is sustainable, but the automatic pilot will not work any longer. We were helped out by very favorable winds outside our country, with very favorable terms of trade and commodity prices at historic peaks. Given that the world is most likely going to go into a phase of slower growth, we need to undertake a series of reforms to be able to sustain growth. I would place them in four categories.
The first is to improve our productivity, our competitiveness. Our economy has opened up and we have pursued integrating into the world economy, both trade-wise and in terms of the capital account. This obviously entails boosting our productivity, our competitiveness, closing the infrastructure gap, upgrading the skills of our labor force and, in general, sustaining an environment where human capital...

When talking about Fender guitars we are really discussing the vision of one man; Mr. Leo Fender. Leo is today considered to be one of the finest industrial designers of the 20th century and the guitars that his company created and the methods of instrument manufacturing forever changed the landscape of popular music. Probably the most famous and widely copied of Fender's designs is the Fender Stratocaster. These days we take the look and sound of the "Strat" for granted, but when it was introduced in 1954; its contoured body, 3 pickup design and tremolo were considered wildly futuristic.
The Stratocaster was not Fender's first successful guitar design. That accolade goes to the Fender Telecaster. Initially named the "Broadcaster" the Telecaster's design was deceptively simple; two single-coil pickups on a single contoured body, a detachable neck and an innovative headstock. The guitar's minimalist looks are deceiving however, as a wide variety of tones can be produced using the guitar's volume, tone and pickup controls.
Later additions to the Fender guitar family include the Jazzmaster, which was first introduced in 1958 and the Jaguar, which was launched in 1962. Fender also introduced a hollowbody design called the Coronado. These models provided great sounding and playable alternatives to the classic Strat and Tele and it's a worthy testament to the design skills of fender that all of these models are still in production today. In addition to electric guitars, the Fender Company has produced an enormously popular series of acoustic and electric acoustic models, such as the Kingman and Newporter models.
The selection of Fender Guitars now offered is huge, ranging from period specific reissues of classic Stratocasters and Telecasters, to modern variants with humbucker pickups, exotic woods, and models based on the instruments modified by such guitarists as Johnny Marr and Jeff Beck.

Pet poisons bloom everywhere in the springtime
hose fragrant flowers, budding shrubs and lush green grass in the yard might look bright and pretty, but they also have a dark, ugly side - they may be sickening, or even killing, your pet.
Springtime is an especially dangerous season for curious pets who unknowingly nose around in plants that are poisonous if ingested and the fertilizers used to help them grow, so pet parents must take precautions, animal welfare advocates warn.

A book about a rescue dog
that will touch your heart
is a nonfiction book about Samantha, an unwanted rescue dog who the author adopts at age 2. This nicely designed
full-color book
, by longtime newspaper journalist and MySetterSam.com publisher Joseph A. Reppucci, contains more than
60 beautiful color photos of dogs
to help illustrate the compelling and uplifting story of Samantha - a pretty tricolor bird dog who uses her warm personality to win people over and build a new family after being put up for adoption by a hunter because she is gun-shy and afraid to hunt. Learn how she uses her special bonding abilities with people to help her eventually make a transition from the hunting fields to family life.
While reading the The Hunt of Her Life, you will travel with Samantha and the author along a trail filled with surprising twists, sudden turns, mystery and even what some call a miracle. And when the journey is finished, you may never look at people and their pets, motherhood - and perhaps even God - in the same way. The vibrant color photos are carefully positioned throughout the book so you can see images of Samantha and other dogs as you are reading about them, making the story and dogs come alive!
Pet enthusiasts will appreciate the deep bond shared between this unwanted rescue dog and the book's author. Their unique closeness helps Samantha to twice defy certain death. Mothers will be touched by the relationship that the author has with his own mother. Their connection helps him to overcome many frustrations and deal with overwhelming odds in his suspenseful nationwide "hunt" to try to locate the unknown birthplace and family roots of his unregistered rescue dog after she eventually succumbs to illness. Those who like suspense will be intrigued and fascinated by the crafty investigative journalism techniques the author uses to try to uncover his dog's family tree. And everyone will be in awe as they come to realize that God all along has been providing a guiding hand in Samantha's journey through life and astonished when they ultimately learn about the mystical gift at the end of this rescue dog's trail.
The Hunt of Her Life is must reading. It will take you on a captivating journey - a trip like no other - that will touch your heart.
What they are saying:
wonderful journey made all the more remarkable by the determination of the author to honor his beloved English Setter and her bloodline. Twist after twist, turn after turn, you're never let down as The Hunt of Her Life proceeds toward its uplifting conclusion. Vivid photos complement the intelligent narrative. Don't forget the tissues, but don't worry - there's plenty to smile about, too."

he book is terrific! Wonderfully written, and I loved looking at those magnificent color photographs. This book really moved me, and I couldn't put it down. I don't own a dog, but I was inspired by this compelling rescue dog's story."

wonderful story that is told with love and pride by a fine writer. It's a great tribute not only to Samantha, the rescue dog who is the book's main character, but to rescue dogs everywhere, of all kinds. This book is a must read for all dog lovers."

�Spring represents a time of growth and renewal, but not everything that springs forth this season is good for dogs,� Liam Crowe, a dog behavioral therapist with Bark Busters training company, states in a media release. �With a little awareness and a few simple precautions, dog owners can prevent many of the problems that arise with warmer weather and keep their dogs safe and healthy.�
Inquisitive dogs might mistaken fragrant spring blooms for tasty snacks, but many plants are toxic and can cause severe illness, or even death, if ingested, according to Bark Busters.
Lawns treated with fertilizers, herbicides or insecticides pose danger for dogs, so keep pets off them until these potentially toxic treatments have completely dried, Bark Busters advises.
The American Veterinary Medical Association also warns about the many potential hazards that spring ushers in for pets, which include the household cleaners used for the seasonal spruce-up of homes and yards.
"Spring cleaning is an annual tradition in many households, but make sure the cleaning products don't hurt your animals," AVMA states in a media release. "If the label states 'keep pets and children away from area until dry,' follow those instructions carefully, and store all chemicals out of reach of children and pets."
AVMA says pet parents should especially beware of the following springtime hazards:
Rhubarb leaves.
Rhubarb, a staple in many vegetable gardens, makes a fine pie, but the leaves are poisonous and can cause kidney failure.
Lilies are a flower common in the spring, and they are very toxic to cats. But cats will often chew them, and even small amounts can lead to kidney failure and death.
Coco bean mulch.
The fragrant spent shells of coco beans are commonly used to mulch gardens. But like chocolate, dogs like to eat them and they are toxic.
Lawn fertilizers.
They are very toxic to pets. Store them in a place far from where your dog or cat can get at them. After applying fertilizers to a lawn, follow the manufacturer instructions regarding the period for keeping pets off. Abide by signs posted on lawns that tell you to keep your pets off.
Pesticides and herbicides.
Even if not lethal, they can cause long-term health problems. Studies indicate the use of pesticides and herbicides may be tied to increased rates of specific forms of cancer in dogs. If your pet is exposed, wash them with soap and water immediately and call your veterinarian.
Rat and mouse poisons.
Controlling vermin becomes an issue again in the spring. Be aware that the same properties of common rat and mouse poisons that make them irresistible to pests will also attract pets. These poisons can be fatal to pets.

If you want a real fusion of style and performance then BMW 750i is the best choice that will turn your imagination into reality. Luxury and elegance are the notable remarks usually associated with BMW makes and models and once again BMW 750i is here to prove that remarks. The big 4.8-liter engine that replaced the 4.4-liter engine of previous BMW makes can now boost a generous horsepower supply of 350 hp and torque amount of 360 @ 3400 lb-ft. Balancing the top rated BMW performance is the muscular stance that can give a domineering look of total road control.
Establishing firm contact on the highway is the powerfully built 18 x 8.0 Star Spoke BMW alloy wheels with 245/50R-18 all season tires. Even the color tone is matched with the aggressive performance just waiting to be used as emphasized by the aluminum hood and front fenders and body colored bumpers with added hydraulic energy absorbers and compressible elements. Providing much better and wider view of the driving horizons and angles are Xenon Adaptive head lamps that can be easily adjusted through the Dynamic auto-leveling features and halogen ellipsoid front fog lights that can push through extreme weather conditions because of its distinct shape. Rainy, snowy and other harsh driving circumstances cannot stop BMW 750i from going on its way by turning on the regulated windshield wiping sweep and passenger-side wiper arm.
Several adjustments are done to correct the flaws of previous BMW 750i models while the stand-out auto parts and components were further enhanced and improved. The impressive BMW iDrive control system is retained with several changes on the climate and entertainment areas. It is now positioned on the center console to have easier access on the properly positioned controls and buttons. Comfort, convenience and pleasure can be savored in just one click of the menu system buttons. Climate control, Navigation system and Communication and Audio system can be easily adjusted to match your desired preference, mood and taste.

Clients Love Firefly
Firefly has been excellent at identifying our needs and taking steps to help us achieve them quickly and with great customer service. The Firefly Team stayed on top of our many simultaneous projects, completing everything on time.
Firefly came to Massey very highly recommended by our colleagues. Their team took care of all of my concerns, questions, and neuroses. I applaud their patience with me and my team here at Massey as we learned TeamRaiser.
I've worked with a lot of web firms in my time. The Firefly difference is unbelievable reliability. They have a great team and are an absolute delight to work with on each and every project.
We had a good experience with Firefly Partners. They implemented our new TeamRaiser design and some fancy new features.
Working with Firefly on our Team Raiser was a wonderful experience. Their knowledge of the system and quick thinking is unparalleled. They are responsive to questions and suggestions and always available with a friendly attitude. We loved working with them.
Firefly was a great asset to have during our Convio implementation. Their accessibility, knowledge, and leadership provided us with the knowledge and confidence to maintain our website effectively and efficiently.
The Firefly team has been alongside us through the designs, build, and launch and still today, providing assistance on how we can continually improve within the community. They've also been very responsive to any support requests.
Firefly does amazing work. They not only deliver professional work on time, but do so with friendly, professional service. In 16 years of being in the Internet industry, they are, by far, the best vendor I've ever worked with.
Firefly took the time and energy to go above and beyond the call of duty for Sharsheret. Many thanks on behalf of all the women and families we serve at Sharsheret. We are grateful and look forward to our continued work together.
It was such a pleasure working with Firefly. The staff is so skilled and they made the design process collaborative and fun. Thank you for making us feel a part of the process, answering questions and provide training and guidance when necessary. You are a dynamite team!
I was really impressed that the outcomes of the web design reflected the vision and values we expressed at the beginning of the project. Firefly works quickly, is very responsive, and stayed in continuous communication with us during our very ambitious timeline.
Firefly has become a valued part of our communications team as we implement an ambitious online strategy. We benefit greatly from their project management skills, creativity and technical expertise. They really get our mission, and it shows in the quality of their work.
We've had really positive comments from folks about the design and content. As always, it was a pleasure working with the Firefly team!
Firefly's leadership and deep knowledge of Blackbaud Luminate™ was instrumental in helping us complete a complex TeamRaiser project within an extremely tight schedule. I look forward to working with them on many more projects!
Firefly delivered a comprehensive, manageable timeline for our project and delivered every step of the way. They met all of our expectations. It was a pleasure working with our project manager and everyone at Firefly.
Every interaction with Firefly reinforced that I made the right decision in selecting them as a partner in our online communications efforts. I hope to be working with Firefly for many projects to come!
Maureen and the Firefly team were amazing. We were operating within a tight timeline and everything was done on time and done right! The Firefly team was responsive and truly listened to us.
Each interaction with Firefly was pleasant, professional, and respectful. The team was knowledgeable and they were willing to work within our budget. Everyone was mindful of how our time and resources could best be used.
Thank you, Jenny! I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into helping us out with this campaign. It couldn't have been done without your patience and guidance, so thank you!
Firefly understood our needs and budgetary constraints. From kick-off to completion, the Firefly process has been one of the most satisfying and successful that I have been involved with in my twenty year tenure in nonprofit executive management.
Firefly provided excellent project management to a complex project. They were rock-steady dependable, even as the project evolved.
Though I feel empowered and ready to manage our site, I will miss Firefly terribly! I wanted to say thanks for focusing so clearly on your clients. From our first call to our last, I have felt respected and valued at every turn. It's been a real pleasure.
Firefly worked quickly, efficiently, and within budget to produce a high-quality product. You managed to solve one of our biggest event registration challenges!
Thanks, Firefly, for going above and beyond when we needed your help! Your team -- from project managers to developers -- are fantastic and incredibly resourceful!
I love Firefly Partners! They consistently exceed my expectations. Firefly is truly part of our team. The entire staff is wonderful to work with, and you can tell they really care about their clients.
Firefly is a wonderful partner and one of the few agencies that deliver high quality work and respond in a timely manner. Their project management is impeccable and problem solving second-to-none.
Firefly is extremely knowledgeable and sensitive to non-profit needs. After a stream of nightmare technology consultants, Firefly was a very welcome change. Looking forward to our next project together.
Firefly is affordable, smart, and super professional. I wish all my vendors worked to their standards!

Spring Lane Hunt Club offers one of the finest European style Continental Pheasant Hunts anywhere. Come see why everyone is experiencing the best Pheasant hunting ever.
Pheasant hunting PA with Spring Lane Hunt Club takes you back to a time when local farms produced some of the best Pheasant hunting in Pennsylvania. Our guests report seeing many extra pheasants, some have seen wild flushes of 40 or more Pheasants in addition to their hunt. The often relate it to Pheasant hunting South Dakota.
Located on a retired Dairy Farm in beautiful Sinking Valley outside Tyrone PA, Spring Lane Hunt Club is a Pheasant hunters dream. With 250 of the 500 acres we manage dedicated to native cover for permanent Pheasant Habitat, it is easy to understand why the hunting is like none other. We have a large population of Pheasants choosing to live wild here at Spring Lane.
Spring Lane Hunt Club offers Continental Hunts in the style of European driven hunts. With the most scenic and natural setting you will find anywhere we are able to host groups of 12 to 18 hunters. As the birds are driven off of the hill top you will have countless shots opportunities to challenge your shooting skills. With the combination of fast flying Pheasants, photographic views, and great time with family and friends a Spring Lane Continental will be an experience you will enjoy.
Our Pheasant and Chukar hunting is done in three different fields on our 350 acre farm. With dedicated fields of this size we are able to successfully hunt Pheasants and Chukars without over pressuring the birds or the other hunters. This provides you and your group with plenty of ground to hunt separate from other hunting parties.

2012 GoldenStWarriors Awards!
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, hobbes
39 posts
• Page 2 of 3 • 1, 2, 3
Do we really only have about 7 voters? lol
From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
No. PM's included, we have about 10. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
Not a bad turnout actually. I got about 16 when I did this the first time and far less when I started to do it back in spring. This sorta thing just isn't for everyone. |
Well, when you think about it... Do we have more than 7 or 8 guys on here consistently?
I mean, on the Pacific side, we got me, 8th, and Blackfoot constantly yapping, miggy usually has posted by the time I wake up, Guybrush is on here everywhere in between, and you have martin showing up on game day to chop it up, but besides that most of our other frequent guests are more weekly or twice-weekly type voices. To be honest, I'm surprised we got as many votes as we did. But hey, when I first came back, this place would get a reply or a post once or twice a day. At least we have it back to where we can run 10+ threads at once and maintain conversation again. Boards go through highs and lows, but this one seems to be on the upswing again. And just wait: everytime we've been on national TV since I've been here, somebody new signs up. But yeah. I don't think either Warriors board has more than 8 or 9 guys that are chipping in regularly... and maybe that's a good thing. When this board took off and had 20+ voices here (between 2008-2010), there was a lot more confrontation and flaming going on. Just look at RealGM or ESPN or any other highly trafficked Warriors board; when quantity goes past a certain controllable point, quality goes down. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
Or, just have a look at 49ers message board...that's a complete mess. Somebody looking from outside would think all of the people cheering for the Niners must be crazy, or retarded, when they read some of the stuff...and one would ask wonder if they are right actually.
15-20 people that will contribute on regular basis, plus some number close to that from people that are here occasionally and it's perfect. We're on the right track. |
This forum would be pretty active if there wasn't another Warrior fans were like six or eight people posting were just posting here.
MVP: 32. Very refreshing to have this guy return to the board. Not the most ideal departure he had back in the day, but lets just say that 32 Redux puts Michael Jordan Washington Wizards un-retirement to shame.
Quality Poster: 32 - The Quality poster & MVP award kind of goes hand in hand with why i voted for him. If you ask 32 a Question or make a statement you'd be sure to get a honest answer (Or an 8 paragraph diatribe)... I'd vote for you too if Quantity Poster was an option. Best Thread Starter: Krome, Too be honest I don't follow the game threads (usually at work) but the effort that he puts into the lineups with pics and stats is a chore that should not go unnoticed. Well done Krome. Most Entertaining: Guybrush - token timezone vote. While you are all sleeping me and him have had some good Australia nighttime/Eastern European lunchtime private messages now & then.. & guybrush is pretty handy to bump the offtopic threads as well with opinion. Best Fan: 8th Ave, Always got his opinion and you can count on him being here in the dead of offseason to talk warriors basketball Most Knowledgeable: It's hard for me to judge knowledgable when I've always been a fan of Dunleavy/Don Nelson whilst everyone is ripping their hair out over these two.. so i'll give it to Migya because he seems pretty knowledgable & has a big post count. Best Sig/Avatar: 8th AVE by default - Warriorsstepup Mr.C & Blackfoot, u guys need to get a avatar so that we can have more options to take down 8th Ave. Boobs/Beers * some form of .GIF is usually a good place to start. Best Moderator: JREED, my vote goes to him because he was a big help during our fantasy football offline draft. he offered to update the spreadsheet and update the first page. He also was accepting my facebook msgs to tell his xgirlfriend via ams that she was on the clock and it was time to make the pick & probably making an awkward situation even awkwarder. Rookie-of-the-Year: Ringo. This is my token Aussie vote. Best Board Moment: Bogut Trade (i spent 20-30 minutes on the John at work & pretended to have a case of diarrhoea whilst this Bogut to Warriors trade was developing) Worst Board Moment: LacoBOO!!! fans have a right to show disgust but not whilst Chris Mullin was about to accept his jersey retirement (highlight of his life) |
Sorry guys, I don't know how I didn't see this post earlier.
MVP: 32. I'm not sure what happened before I arrived but his level of input since then has been consistently at an Allstar level Quality Poster: Again 32. I just find myself agreeing with almost everything he says. Best Thread Starter: Migya. I know Krome starts all the game threads and I love that but no-one gets a discussion started better than Migs. Most Entertaining: Pawno Best Fan: 8th. Passionate Most Knowledgeable: 32 Best Sig/Avatar: 8th. I get in trouble eveytime I leave this forum on screen as 8th's signature is usually on there somewhere. Best Moderator: Guybrush Rookie-of-the-Year: Blackfoot. He's playing like a seasoned veteran. Best Board Moment: Bogut trade. That's how I got here. Worst Board Moment: I honestly can't think of one. It's been all good. |
After a PM to confirm our base of action, Blackfoot has relinquished his candidacy for the Rookie-of-the-Year voting, on the grounds of his Joined Date not accurately reflecting his longevity here. "Blackfoot" is his current username, but he has been posting on this site under different aliases for quite a while now. It was the reason I didn't list him as a possible candidate in the OP, but when everyone ran with him as their vote, I saw no reason to rob him of a potential award without consulting him first. We've spoken via PM and he agrees that the award should go to an actual newbie whose helped create topics for discussion here in the past 12 months. With that information in mind, I'd like to invite migya, JREED, warriorsstepup, 8th Ave, Ringo, and martin to kindly recast their vote for a qualifying candidate, such as Ringo, Stairway Man, ShadsTheWarrior, or Smitty. If you guys would like to change your vote, please do so by posting a new message in this thread (don't simply edit your previous ballot). For those who do not re-vote and leave their pick as Blackfoot, your votes in that specific category will be nullified. Thanks guys. LAST DAY TO VOTE IS THURSDAY! GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
Stairway man. Not sure, but he's probably posted the most out of all the ones you've mentioned.
From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
Just out of curiously can we know what other alias blackfoot has posted in the past?
From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
I don't think it's classified information; but I'll let him fill you in if he feels the need, cause it's not really my place. I know a lot of spammers and trolls got the ban hammer under the previous regime, but so did a couple valued contributors (drfrank is the one I always bring up, but sfsfsfgiants was also a great kid to chat with) and thus far it seems like Blackfoot is anything but a nuisance, so whatever problems the old guard had with him seem to have left with them. So, yeah. I'm comfortable saying that he's a valued member who appears to have been under the boot of mob-mentality that occasionally prevailed in previous days. I'm not trying to trash bada or the old crew around here, since I've recently come to an understand with him via e-mail and while we don't share a board anymore, I do consider bada a friend now. However, (and I believe he'd tell you this himself) the board definitely established a record for bans and warded off members amidst it's period of growth between 07-'10. Blackfoot, via a multitude of usernames, was amongst those caught in the filtering system. If he feels the need to identify his previous usernames, that's up to him. But I doubt he'd disagree that his alias of Blackfoot has been, by far, his most productive one yet. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD |
I did see a lot of mob mentality when I was here and a lot of trashing for no reason. But I was definitely a fair ban, I was kind of an asshole. I am sure a lot don't know me, but I do know that some will know me. Although, I don't think my second ban was all that fair and that was a case of mob mentality, mostly brought on by bigstrads. And from hindsight, I'd say he was definitely a force in driving a lot of duders off.
It's not something I planned on bring up, but since it is a forum I don't think it's that big of a deal, although I am embarrassed by how I acted at points. And it wasn't just how I acted on the board, it was how I acted in real life as well. But I am past that now and have been for a while. I was oaklandfanatic. |
Hey I remember you. Don't remember you being a troll. But oh well.
Hey, 32, I'd love to hear about what you and bada talk about because I do feel what they did was catty. They invited me their new site but that ish was just sketchy as hell and had too much of a... Bob Fitzgerald homer feeling. Just a bunch of gsw high horse warrior fans that couldn't get enough of eachother's dicks. From "we believe", to "we belong", to "we gon beatcho ass!"
My amended vote for ROY is Stairway Man

Ray's Readings: Books still best teaching method
During the last three or four decades, there has been a vigorous surge of interest in the phenomenon of teaching. We have had task forces to help task forces. We have had experts help the educators, and we have had the educators help the experts. We have had the government helping everybody. Many types of research have been done to find new and modern techniques to enhance students' learning opportunities.A new aid to rapid, almost magical, learning has made its appearance. Indications are that, if it catches on, all the electronic gadgets will take a back seat, or at least a reduced role, in education. The new device is known as "Built-in Orderly Organized Knowledge." The makers generally call it by its initials – BOOK.Many advantages are claimed over the old-style learning and teaching aids on which most students are brought up on nowadays. It is made entirely without mechanical parts to go wrong or need replacement.Anyone can use BOOK, even children, and it fits comfortably into their hands. How does this revolutionary, unbelievably easy invention work? Basically, BOOK consists only of a large number of paper sheets. These may run into the hundreds where BOOK covers a lengthy program of information. Each sheet of paper presents the user with an information sequence in the form of symbols. No buttons need to be pressed to move from one sheet to another, to open or close BOOK, or to start it.BOOK may be taken up at any time and used by merely opening it. It is instantly ready for use. The user may turn at will to any sheet, going backwards or forwards as the user pleases.The purpose of this satire is to remind us that we shouldn't overlook the forest for the trees. Reading is still the primary method of learning, and sometimes we look at all the aids to education and forget that old methods and ideas still hold a valuable place in our lives.
