Protect The Black Vote
Black America, did you know that our right to Vote will expire in the year 2007. The Voter\'s Rights Act signed in 1965 by Lyndon B. Johnson was just an ACT. It was not made law. In 1982 Ronald Reagan amended the Voters Rights Act for another 25 years. Which means that in the year 2007 we could lose the right to vote! In the year 2007, Congress will once again convene to decide whether or not Blacks Should retain the right to vote (crazy but true). In order for this to be passed, 38 states will have to aprove an extension. This isludicrous! Nott only should the extension be approved, but also the Act must be made a Law. Our right to vote should no longer be up for discussion, review, and/or evaluation. We must contact our Congresspersons, Senators, Alderpersons, etc., to put a stop to this! As bona fide Citizens of the United States, we African Americans cannot afford to drop the ball on this one. We have come too far to let government make us take such a huge step backward. So please, let us push forward to continue to build the momentum towards gaining equality. Please sign this petition and inform others that it exists. This is an election year. We all remember the indignities African-Americans suffered during the 2000 Presidential Election. Many of our voices were not heard in that election. Imagine all our voices being silenced at once.

Not that Suprised bŷ the result and manor of victory but a bit disappointed with Gsp. Suprised that he couldn't take Diaz down at will and that Diaz was able t get Back to his feet. Far more confident that silva would beat and finish Gsp after watching last nights fight. No disrespect t Diaz but silva has far better tdd and he will not be able to do what sonnen did and put silva on his back from the start to finish of each round.
Hendricks and ellenburger have to get the next 2 shots. I personally think ellenburger is a far bigger threat. Hendricks is far 2 obvious with his wild leaping left hooks, Gsp will deal comfortably with it where jake definitely has tidyer boxing and decent knees as well
Just another day at the office really. One sided, best WW ever.
We all knew what would happen, even Diaz but he was powerless to stop it from happening. This is why he is so good
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
You all was right and I was wrong I do feel Diaz did well to stop a lot of the takedowns though.
Not the most exciting fighter in the world, but the most dominant for sure.
Sherdog.com - The number one MMA site on the web today!
Why does GSP need to finish fights?... He's winning and that's all that matters, he could be 50-0 with all wins by Decision. I think Diaz has a better takedown defence than Silva, and Anderson wouldn't be able to stop GSP taking him down. I think he'd beat Silva by Decision as well, if he doesn't submit him before hand. He's got to get past Weidman's top game yet.
GSP lands 9/16 take downs and OUTSTRIKES Nick Diaz by a large margin 210-80.... Once GSP beats Hendricks he's going to be forced to fight Silva which I like because there aren't anymore fights for him.
winning isnt everything tho, just as john fitch. Early GSP before he had the title was far more exciting. Since he won the title 8 out of his 11 fights have been decisions, previous to that in the ufc he was 5 finishes in 8 fights. I think hes playing it safe which is frustrating

'Zombie titles' terrorize delinquent homeowners in Cleveland
Blog Entry:
January 10, 2013 2:31 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Reuters visits Cleveland and other Ohio cities to
what it calls "a little-known horror of the housing bust" — the zombie title.
"Six years in, thousands of homeowners are finding themselves legally liable for houses they didn't know they still owned after banks decided it wasn't worth their while to complete foreclosures on them," the news service reports. "With impunity, banks have been walking away from foreclosures much the way some homeowners walked away from their mortgages when the housing market first crashed."
, a real estate information company in Irvine, Calif., reports that since 2006, 10 million homes have fallen into foreclosure. Of those foreclosures, more than 2 million have never come out.
"There are thousands of foreclosures in limbo, just hanging out there, just sitting, with nothing being done," says Cleveland Housing Court Judge Raymond Pianka, whose pending court cases tied to derelict properties have doubled in the last two years, to 1,000. He tells Reuters that the surge is due largely to homes vacated by people who fled before an imminent foreclosure sale, only to learn later that they remain legally responsible for their house.
Unsuspecting homeowners "have had their wages garnished, their credit destroyed and their tax refunds seized," according to Reuters. "They've opened their mail to find bills for back taxes, graffiti-scrubbing services, demolition crews, trash removal, gutter repair, exterior cleaning and lawn clipping. At their front doors they've encountered bailiffs brandishing summonses to appear in court."
In some cities, the story notes, people with zombie titles can be sentenced to probation, with the threat of jail if they don't bring their houses into compliance.
"These people have become like indentured serfs, with all of the responsibilities for the properties but none of the rights," says retired
Cleveland-Marshall College of Law
professor Kermit Lind.
Reuters adds that by walking away from these properties, banks "can at least reap the insurance, tax and accounting benefits from documenting the loss — without having to take on any of the costs and responsibilities of ownership, according to a 2010 Federal Reserve paper."
A walk-away also enables them to "sell the unpaid debt to debt collectors, sometimes noting to the court that the loan has been charged off," according to a
Case Western Reserve University
study released in 2011.
Beneficial changes
Ohio might soon follow the lead of other states in
turning the traditional concepts of unemployment insurance
on its head by paying to keep people in their jobs rather than giving them cash when they lose them.
Bloomberg reports that about half the states — as far apart as Washington and Rhode Island — have implemented such policies. Almost 460,000 jobs have been saved through such arrangements since 2008, the Labor Department estimates, and federal money approved last year has more states signing on, the news service says.
"Instead of dismissal notices, employees get a shortened work week, with unemployment benefits partially compensating for lost wages," Bloomberg reports. "Popularly known as work sharing, the program holds out the promise of fewer layoffs and less painful economic downturns. For businesses, which get to retain experienced workers, it could mean the difference between success and failure."
Chronic long-term unemployment and a pot of federal money approved by Congress last year have prompted more states to adopt work sharing, according to Bloomberg.
"Twenty-five states and Washington, D.C., now have versions of the programs," Bloomberg reports. "Eleven jurisdictions have collected $92.3 million in U.S. aid so far. West Virginia and Ohio are among states considering plans."
All sides bear some of the cost. Bloomberg notes that state unemployment trust funds, with aid from the U.S. Labor Department, finance the work sharing. Affected employees get only a portion of their lost wages. Meanwhile, participating businesses must agree to pay workers a minimum number of hours a week and run the risk of higher unemployment insurance taxes if they use the program long term.
Bloomberg adds that Michigan this month "will be the first state to give businesses a free trial: Companies can use work sharing with no risk of tax penalty as long as federal money is available."
As with traditional unemployment, states cap the benefits workers can receive.
It's freezing out here
Colleges and universities appear to be
losing some of their pricing power
The Wall Street Journal
reports, based on a new survey from Moody's Investors Service.
One-third of the 292 schools that responded to Moody's survey "anticipate that net revenue will climb in the current fiscal year by less than inflation," the newspaper notes. For the fiscal year ending this June, "18% of 165 private universities and 15% of 127 public universities project a decline in net tuition revenue. That is a sharp rise from the estimated declines among 10% of the 152 private schools and 4% of the 105 public schools in fiscal 2012."
The financial pressures "signal that many schools are starting to capitulate to complaints that college has become unaffordable to many American families, observers say," according to the story. At least two dozen private colleges froze tuition this fall, roughly double the previous year's total.
One of those is
Wittenberg University
in Springfield, Ohio, which has about 1,730 students. It froze tuition at $37,230 for the 2013-14 academic year in an effort to make the college more affordable.
"If colleges do not adapt to shifting demographics and the weak economy making families more price sensitive, there will be fewer institutions," Wittenberg president Laurie Joyner tells
The Journal

Yep...ain't going to happen...no one wants to fund defence here.
Article continued @ Flightglobal[SIZE=4]European defence industry nearing crisis, report warns[/SIZE]
By: Craig Hoyle London
Europe's ability to develop next-generation combat aircraft has been dangerously eroded, and will reach "a point of no return" unless collaborative funding decisions are made soon, a new industry study warns.
Commissioned by the European Defence Agency (EDA), the Future Air Systems for Europe (FAS4Europe) group study says "the situation for future air systems is severe, with some important industrial capabilities and technologies already at risk".
Yep...ain't going to happen...no one wants to fund defence here.
So what is Taranis? or nEUROn? They seen quite developed already.
Both of them are not even prototypes of a system. They are technology demonstrators. It's easy enough to fund a one off tech model...what about the decade plus long multinational effort to field a service aircraft?
The Typhoon kind of showed the problems with that and the problems with getting it into service and now updating it.
That doesn't matter. Even if some (alas, how many countries are we talking about?) European defense budgets have the money to buy a small number of these U(C)AVs, it's in no way a guarantee that our defense industries will survive and be able to continue to build fighter jets and/or unmanned systems. As for the latter, everyone and his dog is building these systems nowadays. The market literally exploded, or is about to do so, when the "traditional" companies are joined by some newcomers. Take a look at EADS, they just put the Talarion on ice because no government was willing to come up with the funding to continue development. Now they just have their Barracuda demonstrator and that's about it.
Personally, I don't think that Europe will save the ability to develop and produce next generation combat aircraft. First you have to come up with the funds for such a program; second a huge crowd of collaborative members will ultimately lead to problems. Take a look at the NH90, Tiger, EF2000, A400M, for example. They were all meant as one piece of kit that can solve the problems of all nations involved. Hilarious, but an interesting lesson for the future.
The EF started out with the French, and they wanted something else and produced the Rafale instead. This will happen again, potential customers will drop out of the development of combat systems because they are heavily delayed and over budget, and/or they will look for gapfillers, like the Finns (or Swedes?) are currently doing with the S-70 (because the NH90 is ****ing late).
A "joint" European defense industry was proposed for a long time already, for all sorts of products (land vehicles, jet fighters, helos, frigates, weapons, etc.), but it failed in most cases (?) quite miserably, in my honest opinion.
Sheet, over next 10 years we could spend an additional 30 billion on defence if we didn't plow it into Anglo Irish Bank. We spent another 60 billion for the other banks so far. Money is being redirected, it's not necessarily gone, but WE sure as sh1t don't have it.
The consequences of too big to fail are affecting most of the Western Nations. There must be 2 base closures every week in Europe now.
The suppliers are going to feel the pinch. At least ME nations are still buying some of our toys.
Thankfully europe's only 2 military powers have left the freeloaders behind to a large extent.
I don't want the UK to have any more to do with european defence projects.
The Tornado killed our domestic fighter industry (the Buccaneer 2 would have been far more capable, and carrier capable). The Eurofighter is late and a commerical flop. The A400 is a joke.
Thankfully even the Labour party had the sense to steer clear of the diabolical NH90.
With the work done on Taranis, and 'son-of-Taranis', we at least have a ray of light to remain a producer of first-rate fixed wing combat aircraft. The French are the only european country with the credentials to join us.
All this ''further integration will save us [from the problems caused by previous integration]'' is utter bollocks.

Article continued @ Aviation Week[SIZE=3]Europe Poised For Gradual Updates To Fighters
Mar 26, 2012
By Robert Wall
The severe budget austerity gripping much of Europe does not augur well for air forces looking to achieve leaps in capability for the next decade. It is somewhat a matter of luck, then, that foreign demand is effectively pushing stingy treasuries to provide funding to field upgrades.
The list of European militaries likely to benefit from these export-driven enhancements is long and includes the Swedish, French, British and German air forces.
OMG! What are they saying? Some people are giving you important reasons to give them money?
What Europe should have done, instead of creating a bloated 'all-European' monster of an arms industry, is simply to have issued tenders for everything and... let the best company win. In this case, each country's industry would have taken on a project that it was suited for; the end product of which would have been bought by other EU members.
On an individual level; some French, Swedish, German, British, etc.. arms manufacturers and industries are very competitive - but encouraging them into artificial collaborative projects simply killed the end-product.
Although I tend to agree with the rest of your post, I think you will be proven wrong on this one.
Granted, the Grizzly is late and costly, no questions asked and we all know it.
But don't underestimate the commercial opportunity this cargo hauler could offer: Even with a reduced payload (for example: 30t), it should be still able to carry most MRAPs and wheeled APCs and/or IFVs that are currently being offered on the market. I'm speaking of Boxer, AMV, VBCI, and others in this class. Even a Super Hercules can't do that with its 20t maximum payload, and I sincerely hope you don't expect a whole lot of nations will go for a C-130J/C-17 combination. The A400M fills a gap between the Herc and bigger aircraft like the Il-76 and Galaxy. Given that quite a few C-130 customers will look for replacements, I'm pretty much certain that Airbus will gain additional orders for this type once production and deliveries are going ahead. Currently, the only aircraft in its class that could "oppose" the A400M is Japan's C-2, but it remains to be seen if this one will ever be sold to an international customer. Lockheed Martin needs to make up their mind about countering the A400M with a new aircraft, and while doing so, try to do something against the KC-390 and the joint Indian-Russian aircraft.
That said, let's wait and see.
I hope you're right, but the C-130/C-17 combo is precisely what I would have gone for (more of). In the case of the UK, we already have the exisitng airframes, the training, the experience, the engineering setup, etc..
Obviously, that isn't the case for most other potential A400 customers. What strikes me is how quickly and emphatically the Brazillians can churn out an approximate equivelant.
If, for example, BAE had been told in 1982(!!!!!) to build a bigger more efficient BAe146, with an austere air to air refuelling capability, and a rear-loading ramp, then (anti-BAE quips aside), we'd have that flying on operations today.
Almost irrespective of how successful the A400 eventually is, it's already demonstable of incompetence at every level of pan-european projects.
That's what I mean with the Taranis, with the lesser extent nEUROn. The UK is plowing ahead with its development solo which, I believe is a more sensible approach. When Europe puts all their eggs in one basket, it doesn't work as we've seen with the examples stated.
Everyone wants their toys to do its own thing and with a multinational project doesn't turn out that way. A multinational European defence industry (favoured by the EU crowd) may be in crisis but single states in Europe can get it done. Germany are good with its tanks, UK her ships etc
Honestly, what is next generation air power really going to be about. Air space control? Ground strike capability? Naval component? Manned aircraft or UAV?
What are surface based defense systems going to be like in 10 years. I'm surprised SAM technology isn't already advancing at a far greater rate than airframes. Easier to mod or build ground based systems.
The answers to these questions really depend on who you are and what you think you are going to want to do.
The EU is now figuring some things out about what their mission might be and what that might cost.
Besides, it will not be a one-size-fits-all war in the future. Defense Department's issue things in two sizes. Too big and too small.
With A400 the simpler solution was to update the Shorts Belfast

- Pansy: "But he's there! Potter's there. Someone grab him!"
- Professor McGonagall: "Thank you, Miss Parkinson. You will leave the Hall first with Mr. Filch. If the rest of your House could follow."
- — Pansy before the Battle of Hogwarts[src]
Pansy Parkinson was a witch in Harry Potter's year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was sorted into Slytherin house and in her fifth year she became a prefect along with her fellow student and friend, Draco Malfoy. In the same year, she was one of the members of the short lived Inquisitorial Squad. When the final battle of the Second Wizarding War began at Hogwarts, Pansy spoke up in favour of turning Harry over to Lord Voldemort, only to have many of her schoolmates draw their wands upon her in Harry's defence. Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson are friends.
Education at Hogwarts
Early years
- "Ooh, sticking up for Longbottom? Never thought you'd like fat little crybabies, Parvati."
- —Pansy mocking Parvati Patil and Neville Longbottom[src]
During Pansy's first class of flying, which Slytherin shared with its rival house, Gryffindor, she teased Parvati Patil for defending Neville Longbottom when Draco Malfoy threw away his Remembrall.
This was the start of a long-lived mean streak for Pansy; throughout her education, she would belittle countless other students whom she disliked.[1] During her second year, Hogwarts was under threat of closure when the Basilisk that lived down in the Chamber of Secrets was loose; it attacked several Muggle-borns, among them Hermione Granger, whom Pansy enjoyed to tease frequently.
Third year
- Pansy: "Does it hurt terribly, Draco?"
- Draco: "It comes and it goes. Still, I consider myself lucky. If it wasn't for Madam Pomfrey, another minute or two and I could have lost my arm."
- — Pansy fawning over Draco Malfoy's injured arm[src]
In 1993, the Hogwarts Express was stopped and entered by Dementors searching for Sirius Black. During this infiltration, Harry Potter fainted in the presence of a Dementor and Pansy was one of the Slytherin students who took to mocking him for this throughout the rest of the school year.
During a Care of Magical Creatures lesson, Draco Malfoy was attacked by Buckbeak the hippogriff after he approached it without caution and insulted it, even after Hagrid had stated that this was an extremely dangerous thing to do. She was in tears after the attack and was concerned enough to follow him to the hospital wing. Afterwards, she frequently fawned over Malfoy for the injury, which he exaggerated in order to get attention and in an attempt to get Rubeus Hagrid into trouble with the Ministry of Magic, which evidently he did, as it resulted in the planned execution of Buckbeak, much to the delight of Pansy and her friends.[2]
Fourth year
- "Stunningly pretty? Her? What was she judging against – a chipmunk?"
- —Pansy about Hermione Granger when her looks are complimented in an article[src]
During Pansy's fourth year, Hogwarts hosted the Triwizard Tournament, a special wizarding event that attracted a lot of media attention. Pansy was among the students who gave Daily Prophet journalist Rita Skeeter false information on Harry Potter, Rubeus Hagrid and Hermione Granger, one of which was the making up of a false rumours that Harry and Hermione were romantically involved. She was highly amused by the Potter Stinks badges passed around by her fellow Slytherins, and laughed when Draco's Densaugeo hex accidentally hit Hermione when he and Harry started a duel in a school hallway, leaving Hermione with temporarily over-sized front teeth.
Pansy accompanied Draco to the Yule Ball that Christmas, wearing frilly pink robes; by this time, the two may have been romantically involved. While there, she expressed outrage upon seeing famous Quidditch player and Triwizard Champion Viktor Krum escort Hermione Granger to the ball, and again later when a Daily Prophet article commented on how stunning Hermione looked at the event. Also that year, a slightly softer side of Pansy was shown when she clearly expressed (although she later tried to conceal) a fondness for unicorns during a Care of Magical Creatures class.
During this school year, she was known to wear a watch, which Nifflers tried to bite off her wrist during one of Hagrid's classes.
Fifth year
- "Hey, Johnson, what's with that hairstyle, anyway? Why would anyone want to look like they've got worms coming out of their head?"
- —Pansy taunts Angelina Johnson and the Gryffindor Quidditch team[src]
In her fifth year, Pansy became a Slytherin prefect along with Draco. At the start of the school year she shared a Thestral drawn-carriage with Draco for the ride up to the castle. This school year would see Ministry Official Dolores Umbridge appointed as the school's Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. Later on in her regime, Umbridge created a group called the Inquisitorial Squad, of which Pansy was a member. While Hagrid was away, Professor Grubbly-Plank stood in for his position as Care of Magical Creatures teacher. During one lesson Draco imitated Hermione by raising his hand over-enthusiastically, which caused Pansy to shriek with laughter, only then to be startled by the pile of sticks they were studying as they turned out to be Bowtruckles. When Hagrid did indeed return to position, Pansy crudely remarked to Dolores Umbridge that it was difficult to understand Rubeus Hagrid when he spoke and that everyone hated his subject.
During Quidditch matches that year, Pansy directed her fellow Slytherins to sing Weasley is Our King to mock Ron Weasley, as well as other Gryffindor players. Pansy attempted to unsettle Harry before a game by telling him that C. Warrington planned on knocking him off his broom, although Harry was unfazed and responded that Warrington's aim is so pathetic he'd be more worried if he was aiming for the person next to him. Later on in the year when she saw Harry Potter and Cho Chang out on a date on Valentine's Day, Pansy insulted them both, as well as the memory of the late Cedric Diggory. Insulting means she could have possibly been jealous of the romantic relationship, adding to the fact she wasn't that involved with Draco Malfoy.
When Dumbledore's Army members attempted to escape from the Room of Requirement later in the year, Pansy searched for female D.A. members in the girls' lavatory and grabbed the list of names as evidence. Pansy and other Squad members were jinxed during a student rebellion after Fred and George Weasley's departure from Hogwarts; Pansy missed a day of classes while recovering from a hex that made her sprout a pair of antlers.[3]
Sixth year
- Pansy: "Even you think she's good looking, don't you, Blaise, and we all know how hard you are to please!"
- Blaise Zabini: "I wouldn't touch a filthy blood traitor like her whatever she looked like."
- — Pansy and Blaise Zabini discussing Ginny Weasley[src]
In 1996, on her way to Hogwarts for her sixth year, Pansy sat in the same train compartment with Draco, Blaise Zabini, and a few other Slytherins. Draco had his head in Pansy's lap, and she stroked his hair while smirking, like she was the luckiest girl. Although upset by Draco's suggestion that he might not return to Hogwarts for his seventh year, Pansy seemed impressed by his implication that he had taken the Dark Mark and joined the Death Eaters. Harry Potter got the impression that she and Draco were cosier than ever during their sixth year. When the train stopped Pansy held her hand out in offer for Draco to take it, he however rejected her hand and told her to go ahead as he wanted to check to see if his suspicions that Harry was spying on him were true.
At the Welcoming Feast this year Albus Dumbledore announced that Severus Snape would now be taking on the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. Pansy, along with the all students in the Slytherin house, roared with applause at this, save for Draco who was still brewing over his decision to become a Death Eater. Also in Potions that year Horace Slughorn would be filling in for Snape after he took on his new position as Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor. Later on in the year, after Harry Potter discovered that it was Draco behind Katie Bell's injury, Harry injured Draco with the spell Sectumsempra. Upon hearing the news, Pansy rushed to visit him in the hospital wing, and "lost no time in vilifying Harry far and wide". At the end of the year Albus Dumbledore was killed by Severus Snape and students attended his funeral service in which he was buried next to the school Lake.[4]
Seventh year
- "Before Harry could speak, there was a massive movement. The Gryffindors in front of him had risen and stood facing, not Harry, but the Slytherins. Then the Hufflepuffs stood, and almost at the same moment, the Ravenclaws, all of them with their backs to Harry, all of them looking toward Pansy instead, and Harry, awestruck and overwhelmed, saw wands emerging everywhere, pulled from beneath cloaks and from under sleeves."
- —After Pansy suggests turning Harry Potter over to Lord Voldemort.[src]
During Pansy's final year at Hogwarts, Lord Voldemort was in indirect control of the school through Severus Snape as headmaster and Amycus and Alecto Carrow as professors. As a Slytherin and, most likely, a pure-blood, Pansy was probably one of the favoured students and would not have been on the receiving end of their brutal and unfair punishments.
- "But he's there! Potter's there. Someone grab him!"
- —Pansy wants to turn Harry over to Voldemort.[src]
In May of 1998, Lord Voldemort approached the school with his Death Eater army, and offered those inside the Hogwarts castle a chance to turn Harry Potter over to him in exchange for sparing them all. Pansy was the only person to stand up in favour of doing so. The students of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw houses all drew their wands on her as a result, and Professor McGonagall dismissed Slytherin house from the Great Hall first, starting with Pansy.
Pansy left Hogwarts with her house-mates, and likely was not one of the few to return as reinforcements during the Battle of Hogwarts with Professor Slughorn. Instead, she may have been among the Slytherin students that Voldemort told Lucius Malfoy had come to join him, however Pansy seemed to fear the prospect of battling as she was quick to try and get others to find a solution to stop the chance of a battle by handing Harry over and is unlikely to have fought out of fear of being hurt or killed in battle.
Later life
Very little is known of what happened to Pansy after the Second Wizarding War or her later life.
Personality and traits
- "Hey, Potter! Potter! The Dementors are coming, Potter! Woooooooo!"
- —Pansy makes fun of Harry Potter[src]
[5] She is often seen making snide and cutting remarks at the expense of Gryffindor students, such as making fun of Angelina Johnson's braided hair by wondering aloud who would want to look like they had worms coming out of their head. She was even callous enough to disrespect the late Cedric Diggory, shrieking at Cho Chang when she went on a date with Harry Potter in 1996: "I don't think much of your taste...at least Diggory was good-looking!"[3] She has a tendency to shout her insults loudly, so as to gain the attention and have more people laugh at the object or person of her insults.
Pansy may not be very bright, at least socially (academically, she was a prefect), as Hermione Granger once described her as "thicker than a concussed troll"[3], though this might have to do with Hermione disliking Pansy. She also tends to be rather dramatic, as she overreacted to any injury Draco Malfoy suffered and fiercely blamed those she considered responsible[4]. Pansy also enjoyed gossip, particularly spreading rumours against those she disliked, such as when she lied to Rita Skeeter about Hermione Granger possibly brewing Love Potions[5] to entrance boys like Viktor Krum and Harry Potter.
Judging by the amusement Pansy expressed when Blaise Zabini made a rude comment about Ginny Weasley being a "filthy blood traitor"[4], her association with the prejudiced Draco Malfoy, and the stance she expressed just before the Battle of Hogwarts, she is most likely a pure-blood who disdains Muggles, Muggle-borns and blood traitors.
Magical abilities and skills
- Care of Magical Creatures: From her third year onwards, Pansy took Care of Magical Creatures classes along with Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and other third years. She liked unicorns, as did many of the other girls, but tried to hide it so as not to look soft.
Physical description
- "Looking down, Harry saw the pug-faced Pansy Parkinson right at the front of the stands, her back to the pitch."
- —Harry Potter's view of Pansy[src]
Pansy was described as a "hard-faced Slytherin girl" by Harry Potter, and on several occasions, students described her as "pug faced". However, Pansy seemed to believe herself to be better-looking than other girls, as she frequently made disparaging comments about the appearances of others, such as Angelina Johnson and Hermione Granger, but this may have been just her way of trying to make herself feel better. Rita Skeeter, at least, described her as "pretty and vivacious" in her article about Hermione.
Draco Malfoy
- "You go on, I just want to check something."
- —Draco Malfoy rejects Pansy's offering hand.[src]
Pansy got on seemingly well with Draco Malfoy during their school years. They were both sorted into Slytherin house and each had dominant personalities, both being leaders in their house. By her third year, Pansy had developed tender feelings for Draco, appearing overly concerned by his injury to his arm caused by Buckbeak during a Care of Magical Creatures lesson, after which she rushed out of to the Hospital wing to visit him. She was often seen fawning over him and Draco seemed to greatly enjoy her attention.[2]
By 1994, possible romantic feelings between the two had developed, as they attended the Yule Ball together[5]. In their fifth year, Pansy and Draco were both made the Prefects of Slytherin, and both had joined the Inquisitorial Squad, Pansy and Draco are friends.[3]. On the Hogwarts Express journey to school for their sixth year, Pansy and Draco sat together, with Draco's head in her lap as she stroked his hair. They appeared affectionate, but Draco did not confide in Pansy about the mission Lord Voldemort had given him that year. Also, when she offered him her hand when they got off the train, Draco rejected her, perhaps indicating that Pansy had stronger feelings for him than he did for her. Their relationship remained at least till the end of sixth year; after Draco was sent to the Hospital wings because of Harry's curse Sectumsempra (early May, 1997), Pansy immediately visited him.[4]
Sometime after Pansy and Draco had finished their education, their relationship drifted further, and Draco ended up marrying Astoria Greengrass.
Other students
- "Potter, have you split up with your girlfriend? Why was she so upset at breakfast?"
- —Pansy teasing Harry Potter and Hermione Granger[src]
Pansy did not seem to get along with any students outside of the house of Slytherin, particularly other girls and Gryffindors. At some point during her time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Pansy had either teased or offended Angelina Johnson, Neville Longbottom, Parvati Patil, Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, multiple members of the Weasley family, Cho Chang, and Cedric Diggory.
Pansy frequently taunted others about their physical appearances, such as Angelina Johnson's hair or Neville Longbottom's weight, about their love lives, or about their families. She also tended to take great amusement in seeing others publicly embarrassed or hurt.
A pansy is a type of violet. Its name is derived from the French word pensée, meaning "thought" or "remembrance."[6] In William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, the juice of the pansy flower is used as a Love Potion. In folklore, the pansy represents separated lovers. The slang term pansy can also refer to a cowardly person, or a weak and effeminate male[7]. The face of a Persian cat, flat and squashed, is sometimes described as a "pansy face"[8], and may refer to Pansy Parkinson's looks.Pan was the greek god of the wild, forests, nature, etc. His name means "all", however the literal meaning in Ancient Greek of "Pan" is "rustic".
Behind the scenes
- J. K. Rowling has said that Pansy did not end up marrying Draco because Rowling always hated her: "I loathe Pansy Parkinson. I don't love Draco but I really dislike her. She's every girl who ever teased me at school. She's the Anti-Hermione. I loathe her."[9]
- Pansy has been portrayed by three different actresses in the film series. In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Pansy Parkinson was portrayed by Genevieve Gaunt. In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, she was portrayed by Lauren Shotton; however, the role was uncredited and was a non-speaking cameo. In Half-Blood Prince, Deathly Hallows: Part 1, and Deathly Hallows: Part 2, she was portrayed by Scarlett Byrne.
- Pansy was not in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, where, instead of Pansy, a Beauxbatons student appeared at the Yule Ball dancing with Draco Malfoy.
- Pansy's name continues a pattern of flower names in the series. For instance, in the generation of the First Wizarding War, there was Lily Evans, Petunia Evans, and Narcissa Malfoy. A lily and a petunia are both flowers. In the generation of the Second Wizarding War there was Pansy, Fleur Delacour, and Lavender Brown. In the generation after the war there was Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger's daughter, Rose. There was also Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley's daughter, Lily. Madam Pomfrey's first name is Poppy, another flower.
- Interestingly, another female Slytherin's personality was once contrasted to Hermione's in a similar way as Pansy's was; this may indicate some similarity between the two.
- Pansy was NOT among the Slytherin students who went to join Voldemort during the Battle of Hogwarts.

Please note that this year the attendee numbers have been kept low in order to keep the meeting more productive. Invitations have been sent only to developers that have been highly active on the database server over the 9.3 release cycle. We have not invited any contributors based on their contributions to related projects, or seniority in regional user groups or sponsoring companies, unlike in previous years.
This is a PostgreSQL Community event. Room and refreshments/food sponsored by EnterpriseDB. Other companies sponsored attendance for their developers.
Time & Location
The meeting will be from 8:30AM to 5PM, and will be in the "Red Experience" room at:
Novotel Ottawa 33 Nicholas Street Ottawa Ontario K1N 9M7

Terratec Phase X24 - Directsound playback and pause, on windows 7 x64 professional |

Hello, I have recently bought the mentioned sound card and connected it to a Firewire controller connected to the PCI slot on the motherboard.
I have the following hardware configuration: CODE Mboard: Biostar A770g A2+ CPU: AMD Athlon X2 6000+ RAM: 2x2 GB(mushkin XP series) GPU: nVidia GeForce 9800 GT 1GB (Point of View) Power: Hiper Power Supply 530W 1394: VIA Firewire Controller OS: Windows 7 x64 Professional and the soundcard is Terratec Phase X24 with the latest firmware and drivers (64-bit drivers for Vista). The problem appears when i listen to an audio file using directsound and pause the playback. When i hold it paused for a few seconds/minutes and press play to resume, the player starts playing, but I can hear no sound (not from the player, not from any other player that I open afterwards); the sound returns again after a few seconds (varies from 2-3 sec to few minutes), or returns after I close the application which was paused and start playing again. This happens both in Media Player Classic and foobar2000 v1 (i guess in any application which uses directsound). The problem, however, doesn't appear if I use ASIO driver for foobar2000 or in Cubase, so this brings me to a conclusion that there is a problem between the DirectSound and Terratec's drivers. Unfortunately, I haven't tried to check does it happen with windows xp 32-bit, but I'm desperate to find the solution for the problem, as I don't want to make a switch back to the xp. Does anyone know how to check what exactly causes the problem? EDIT: this does not happen with my old Creative Sound Blaster MP3+ (renamed to SB Connect!)

Plumas Arts Gallery now open on weekends
In response to concerns of downtown closures during the weekend Plumas Arts has decided to increase their weekend hours. Beginning Saturday, Oct. 16 The Plumas Arts Gallery will be open on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. right through until Christmas. These hours will be added to regular gallery and office hours of Wednesday to Friday from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.
This development has been inspired by a sincere interest in serving the tourist market as well as to expand opportunity for residents. It was made possible by a generous donation of volunteer labor.
The Plumas Arts Gallery is a program of Plumas Arts, the nonprofit local arts agency that manages two businesses in downtown Quincy— the gallery as well as the Town Hall Theatre. This budget conscious organization has weathered more that one financial storm in its 30-year history and to do so has become business savvy and resourceful. Plumas Arts has a diverse palette of programs and projects impressive for a small budget organization and a track record of balancing dedication to services with the realities of doing business.
"Like many other businesses, "explains Gallery Manager, Lori Davis "we have tried to open on weekends before but sales never paid the cost of even a minimum wage staff person. Luckily we have had a very generous offer for volunteer staffing and are planning to give it a try again."
The Plumas Arts Gallery features an impressive array of the work of several dozen local artists in prices ranges to suit every budget. Shows change monthly so there is always something new to see. The gallery also hosts a great selection of jewelry, candles, cards and gift items. Patronizing the galley offers you an opportunity to shop local and support your community's artists and cultural programs.
The gallery has been open for more than a decade. "We are always pleased with the comments from new visitors where they be tourists or locals who have yet to visit," adds Davis. Take the opportunity of the expanded hours to stop in and take a look.
Plumas Arts celebrates 30 years of service to Plumas County in 2011. As a nonprofit arts agency, Plumas Arts has served as the Plumas County representative to the California Arts Council's State-Local Partnership Program since the program's inception in 1981.
The Plumas Arts office is in the Plumas Arts Gallery at 372 Main Street in Quincy which has, for more than a decade, provided an exciting showcase for the fine work of regional artists. For more information contact Plumas Arts today at 283-3402 or visit plumasarts.org.

Buying Guide
So you want to build your own home theater system or stereo system?
Well you've got a plethora of choices out there, so many in fact that it can be downright confusing at times.
Often times you'll have lots of technical jargon thrown at you and salespeople trying to sell you with these fancy words and things you might not understand. Like impedance, or Dolby DTS, sampling rates and Signal to noise ratio and many,many more. The fancy words aside, there are a few things you can take a look at easily to determine what receiver is right for you without knowledge of all of the fancy technical terms and jargon used today.
Which one is right for you?
-Well that can and will be determined by several factors, many of which are often overlooked by most consumers.
In this day and age when it seems the prices of everything are on the rise, the price of luxury items has become and important factor in our buying decisions. If you've got money to spare then it's not a big deal, but most of use don't and are very concerned about getting the best value for our money and a product with the features we want at the cost we are willing to accept.
The power of a receiver is very important in determining which one you want to get and what other components are going to be used with it, specifically the speakers. You'll want a system that will be able to effectively power the speakers you choose. Some people choose the speakers first then the receiver, but it's best to choose the receiver first then find speakers that will work well with it.
Build Quality:
If you can examine the receiver you are interested in first hand, check all of the connections to see if they feel or look cheap, and of course check the overall look and feel of the unit. Something else to consider is the weight of the unit itself, while lightweight might be appealing to most people, it's sometimes considered a sign that the product is made with inferior parts, with receivers oftentimes the heavier the better. If the unit is heavy that usually means there are more parts inside, more heat sinks where they need to be and a good power supply is built into the unit. While this isn't a steadfast rule for determining the quality, it is a good indication of what's inside.
Inside the Unit.
If possible take a peek inside the unit, check the power supply, check for heat sinks, you don't want your unit to overheat on you, this can cause sound dropouts, and it can cause the unit to shut down or even possibly destroy the unit itself from the excess heat. I've personally had a receiver die on me because of inadequate heat sinks, so I know first hand about this. Taking it to the shop it was fixed at no cost, but still I was out of a receiver for quite some time while it was being fixed.
Sound quality is probably the most important feature to look at or 'hear at' as it were. The sound quality of the receiver will determine all of your experiences from there on out, no matter what speakers you buy, if the receiver has poorly made components it will not sound good. A very easy way to determine sound quality is using nothing at all really, in a quiet are turn up the volume, if you hear static, hissing, crackling etc then the pre-amp inside might not be that good of quality and it's one that you will not want to purchase.
Surround Sound Quality:
You're buying an AV Receiver most likely to control and be the centerpiece of your home theater system which will most likely be surround sound based. If you're intending on using several speakers including a center channel for the voices, test it out first if you can. Put a movie in, check the sound quality to see if everything is where it's supposed to be in the sound field, like the voices only coming from the center channel and not hearing them from any other speakers. With surround sound quality you'll also want to pay attention to the surround sound encoding choices offered by the receiver, the more the better usually, this gives you a great freedom of expansion or upgrade ability for your system in the future.
This is a very important thing to look at when buying a receiver, if you're building a system from scratch then it's most likely you've got several other components in mind that you want to go with the receiver, you'll need to make sure they all work together. If you're upgrading your receiver or adding existing components to the receiver then the same thing applies of course. Once thing people often overlook though when it comes to the connections is expandability and the ability to upgrade in the future. If you use all of the connections for your current components you won't be able to add anything else if you wish to expand your system, some receivers come with dual inputs for many components and can come with several auxiliary connections that can be used to add onto the system. Even if at the present time you have no use for an HDMI or Optical connections you might have a use for them in the future, so it's nice to have the connection there if need be especially since technology is always evolving and changing.
Not as important as the others but still something you might want to consider is what does the unit look like? Do you want some hulking ugly beast in your home theater? I know I wouldn't, many are designed with aesthetics in mind but some aren't really or at least what they consider good looking isn't good looking to me.
The remote control is very important as it will most likely be the main way you control your system, you don't want one that is overcomplicated, too small or too big. You'll want one that is easy to use, and has buttons that are arranged well with the most common ones within easy reach. Some remotes can come with a back light, this is a great feature so you won't be fumbling in the dark to find a button. Most remotes, but not all, that come with receivers are capable of controlling other devices, make sure the included remote has enough options to control all of the devices that you will be adding to your system.
Expandability and Further Features:
This feature was mentioned in the connections section, but what I mean here is that some receivers come with USB connections that will enable you to connect a USB drive to possibly play your mp3s.
Optional/Added Features:
Some receivers are Bluetooth enabled , compatible with ipods, and even satellite radio capable. Of course these features will add more to the price, but to some they are well worth it.
Some receivers have a built in display on the unit to show you what's playing like song titles, artists and more. Some of them are even capable of displaying this information on your TV screen as well, so if that's something you like then check to see if it's available on the unit you are interested in.
How many presets do you need? Some can have 40 or more presets, while some can have less, how many do you need or use?
The AV Receiver that you finally decide upon will determine your experiences from there on out, it can be a very expensive purchase that you'll most likely use a lot and have for a long time. You want to be sure you get one that will be reliable, sound good and overall be easy to use for you and your family.
Whenever possible try the receiver before buying it, make sure it can do what you want and need it to do, check it out thoroughly from all angles and aspects to make sure it's exactly what you want. The right receiver can make a world of difference in your home theater system and your overall enjoyment of your movies and music.
Look around for reviews and find what other people have to say about the receiver you intend to purchase. You can learn quite a bit from what other people tell you about their own experiences with any product. Sites like TestFreaks can offer a slew of great information in helping you decide on whether or not to purchase any product and can be invaluable when it comes to making a large dollar value purchase.
