Whilst RL may seem the game boring, I am sure RU people say the same about RL. But look at the crowds on SKY, no excuses from their supporters the game is televised, or its not included in the season ticket.

How many teams in RU are as desperate as Bradford are, and more or less Salford?
League used to have the edge over its other code at club level pre professional of RU, now they stamp all over RL in terms of competition, structure and cash.

Yes all is wonderful in RU world. If you like no tries, collapsed scrums, poor handling and a penaltython go watch union.

Why should an investor put money into a feeder club. They might as well put in the SL club in the first place.
Thev RFL will not want this as players moving to Super League from the breakaway clubs may be subject to a tansfer fee or compensation.
But lets cast our minds back to the early days of Super Leage and look what was on the agenda at that time.
Clubs were being asked to merge.
What is the feeder system but a merger of clubs by the back door with the championship clubs becoming not much different than a Super Leage club reserve side.
What the clubs outside Super League require is a system that caters for ambition.
Why not have promotion and relegation between leagues but on the proviso that the a club not meeting the criteria cannot go up.
For example If in the Championship the Top two clubs were Batley and Keighley who did not meet the criteria but the third clug either Halifax or Leigh did then why not promote that third club.
The incentive for clubs is first to meet the criteria and second to finish in a position that you would get promotion.
Without some sort of incentive to take a club to the top why should any potential investor want to get involved.

RU clubs are losing money at an alarming rate compared to league? Are they, would you like to place a bet on that?

yes i would like to bet on that!!
Rugby clubs battle debt burden
As the new Guinness Premiership campaign gets underway on Friday night, a report into the financial performance of the 12 clubs has revealed that "almost all" continue to suffer operating losses, with a combined loss of over £10 million reported in the 2007/08 season.
The club's plight is symptomatic of a [font=inherit !important][font=inherit !important]financial[/font][/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] crisis engulfing the English game.A report revealed that the combined losses for 10 of the 12 Premiership clubs this season was £19m. Leicester and Northampton are believed to be operating in the black.[/font][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
"It's not getting any easier throughout the Premiership, the whole game is going through lean times," said Hetherington.[/font]
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"After 15 years the professional game would appear now to be at an all-time low and for the Premiership as a whole there doesn't seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel. The whole system depends on the personal benevolence of a very small number of people."[/font]
even the RFU announced a £4million loss!!
so for winning my bet.........i'd like you to change your name to "im a union troll"........ta

And for the last article in 2011, a year old. The opening line of "Gary Hetherington..." stopped me dead in my tracks, as he has only one vision.....himself.
And as a Union troll....I doubt that pal. Supported league for nearly thirty years as a fan, player and coach, and continue to do so. Having seen both sides of the fence regards grassroots development as a parent/coach, RU is going to pick up from RL's major mistakes, to which they are making many. RL is going downhill, the Bradford fiasco must start ringing alarm bells for starters. For example, after December, Oldham will not have anyone employed by the RFL to introduce RL in schools/clubs, or running the Service Area/Talent Centres due to cost cutting? Oldham are not on there own in this, other areas are being affected too. Can you see the RFU sitting back and not exploiting this? I can't.
SL being allowed to drop their teams below the firsts to set up links with Championship Clubs is another farce, and one that will strip clubs of their identities, and values - something the RFL have been brewing up for years - and yes, I have been to meetings where this has been a hot topic of debate, yet the RFL had never the balls to admit it, and refused to attend, until the final meeting of the SA in Oldham, which incidentally help kill the SA off.

by comparison super league clubs lost around £8million this past season...........
so my statement that rugby union clubs are losing money at a far greater rate than rugby league clubs stands true....
and its ok....you can show your ###### on the town hall steps if you like? lol

Harry I would tailor your solution to say if the top club does not meet the criteria. Do not promote them, but take 50% off the bottom SL clubs money for the next season, and contribute it towards the failings of the top championship clubs for meeting the criteria. This way clubs who did not meet the criteria would eventually close the gap regarding facilities etc.
Interesting point you make there.

Not being picky about your post in general but the great Oldham side were not beaten by Bramley.
I've thought for a long time that we should distance ourselves from SL and form a one division set up like it used to be in days gone by. You could, possibly, create two divisions with P & R, the second of which could be new teams in other parts of the country who want to enter the league. We should get rid of the NR Cup and return to winter rugby, far too many distractions in summer, and bring back the county cups. I would also be in favour of mounting a legal challenge, pardon the pun, to bring the Challenge Cup into our ownership and prevent SL clubs from competing in the competition. You are right that the competition has been devalued. I vividly recall Oldham in the late 1950s, top of the league, best team in the land, but got beat by a lowly Bramley side at home when they were hot favourites not only to win the game but win the cup. That can never happen now the gap is too big.
I am totally against feeder clubs no matter what CH says about not losing our identity. You cannot avoid losing your identity, but on the other hand while other clubs go down this road we are always going to be second fiddle to those clubs who have access to SL hopefuls, cast offs etc or who farm out experienced players recovering from injuries for a week or two. Remember the Barry McDermott fiasco when he was playing for Batley was it? to get match fit again before going back into the Leeds team?
Not sure if that would be the death knell for SL clubs but I do agree that the game is tired and, though lots will disagree with me, boring. RU is far bigger, is nationwide and will continue to attract the big money from SKY and the BBC. I can however foresee a time when SKY will withdraw the funding and I cannot see many SL clubs surviving that. That said any of them that then want a return to our league would have to do so by entering at the very bottom. I'm not altogether certain that I would want them however, after all they haven't done us any favours have they?
They won 8-2 against them in the 3rd round of the Cup (Nestor 2 tries Ganley 1 goal), going on to lose to Hull 9-12 in the Semi final.

id say only leicester have "out grown" their stadium...hence why they are in the middle of rebuilding welford road....which was falling down anyway
sure the likes of northampton,Gloucester,quins have all increased the capacities of their stadia in recent years but thats mainly due to modernization of 100 year old stadia..
thats no different to leeds building the carniegie stand,hull kr expanding and building a new stand at cravan park,salford moving to a new,larger stadium...likewise st helens..or hull fc....or warrington....who have not long since expanded their already new stadium...
so i really don't see the point you're trying to make??

Vol State Named OSHA Education Center
Submitted on October 04, 2012 at 9:11 AM
Health and Safety training is important for area businesses and now they will be able to get a wider range of training, closer to home. Volunteer State Community College has been named an OSHA Training Institute (OTI) Education Center, providing courses on OSHA standards and workplace safety and health issues. OSHA is the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The OTI designation means that area employers will have a center that is closer to them, for the required OSHA classes that their employees need.
"Now that we are a designated OSHA training center we can bring in all of the required and elective training needed by employers," said Hilary Marabeti, assistant vice president for Continuing Education and Economic Development. "And because we're a regional center we'll also be able to serve the surrounding states."
Vol State is one of two new centers located in region four. The new centers were selected as part of a national competition. Applicants were evaluated on staff experience, organizational experience, training facilities and evaluation design, among other areas. Vol State has been offering limited OSHA courses for a couple of years.
"It's because of the positive response to what we have already been doing that we decided to apply," Marabeti said.
For more information contact Bob Jankiewicz, Director of Business and Industry, at email@example.com. For current class listings visit www.volstate.edu/CE.

Excellent work! I love it!
Hi all,
Long time lurker, but this is the first post I've made and it's to debut the WIP of my Warhammer Empire map. There are many out there of varying levels of detail and no two are exactly the same. We roleplay a lot in the Warhammer Universe, specifically in the Empire. I love all the maps out there , but having the source material all over the place was difficult as well as the scale of the maps made weren't quite what I wanted. When we roleplay, we usually have a digital version of the map on my 46" TV that we can reference. So, this map specifically is built in Layers that you can turn off and on so that as a GM I can filter only things I want my players to see.
It's s WIP still, but as it stands I did my best to compile the map from many sources, including Gitzman's map (check out gitzman's gallery website for his compilation of WH maps), Andy Law's maps (which are FANTASTIC) as well as the second edition Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay book, Sigmar's Heirs. Lastly, there is also a fair amount of guesswork and preference involved. It's vectored as well so the zoom level of the PDF is amazing and can go really close (up to 6400%). The map itself is 48x48".
Lastly, the Legend is partially incorrect as I made it early on with the idea of what I wanted on the map. To reitterate, you need to be able to view a PDF and know how to navigate layers to get the most out of the map.
I've still got plenty of work to do, but check it out.
Excellent work! I love it!
It is a great map and will be very useful to GMs I imagine. I have already pointed a few people I know who play the RPG towards this and I'm sure they will be very thankful for all your work!
I like this map, in special the colours and the font you have chosen, I think is Caslon Antique.
Welcome to the Guild Krushnieva, and nice job on your map so far!
@Megahercio - it is indeed Caslon Antique. It's the defacto 'warhammer' font used by many, if not most, of their products.
The next steps are to clean up the outside areas, update the legend, add a few more items to either the Kislev side, or add in the Wasteland area (for those who don't know, the area around the sea of claws to the west of the Empire). In addition, I'm going to make a 'nobility' layer that will slightly fade out the rest of the background and have the names of the local nobles scrolled over their area. Should have a nice idea of who owns what.
Also, since I have the editable version, when we play and my group rummages around in the world, I can add, change, or delete things on the map to reflect their changes. They should find it fun to visually have a lasting effect on the world. In fact, two small areas I've put on the map are my creations entirely to the world that I made for a very large campaign we did a few years back.
I've uploaded a new version that adds the Wasteland area as well as touches up the legend a bit. Also added a "bad guy" layer that shows monster lairs and greenskin tribes. Many thanks goes out to Gitzman, as his super huge map helped with the tribes and baddies!
Very impressive, the fact that it's so detailed makes it very much alive and "realistic". Great work
Very nice map. Repped !

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The head of the National Weather Service has suddenly retired and the agency is seeking an emergency $35.6 million from Congress because of allegations of financial mismanagement and money shifting within the agency.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief Jane Lubchenco, who oversees the weather service, said in a memo investigators found that agency officials moved tens of millions of dollars around without congressional approval, as required by law. The money went from being appropriated for technology improvements to meeting shortfalls in payroll and operations at local weather offices.
Weather service director Jack Hayes retired Friday. His chief financial officer was already on administrative leave.
Agency spokesman Scott Smullen said investigators found no evidence of corruption or personal financial gain. The agency will soon release a report on the issue.

Maple syrup producer returns home to the sweet life
SISTERSVILLE, W.Va. -- Several miles up a winding country road outside of Sistersville, a recently constructed warehouse sits on a knoll. Inside the cavernous building, Ed Howell checks readings on a gleaming stainless steel tank-like structure.
Plastic lines snake in from outdoors and move a colorless liquid through a complicated series of machines under Howell's close watch.
The maple syrup that eventually emerges from the high-tech equipment will probably find a homey final destination on a stack of pancakes or warm waffles.
He bottled 92 gallons of maple syrup from 525 taps this year for Sweetcreek Sugarworks, the company he owns with his wife, Connie. They named the company for an incident years ago that involved an open drain and sap flowing into a creek.
Maple syrup production has come a long way from the days when settlers collected buckets full of maple sap and boiled it down over an open fire. The sap still comes from trees, but today's producers use plastic tubes for collection and highly technical equipment such as reverse osmosis machines, evaporators, filters and canners to convert the sap into syrup.
Syrup producers usually get a gallon of syrup from 50 gallons of sap. It takes Howell more like 90 gallons to make one gallon of syrup, due in part to the many pine trees that shade his maples and inhibit photosynthesis, which is necessary for sugar production.
His 160 acres don't get as much snowfall as he'd like, either. Snow cover encourages the trees to run.
Maple syrup production in the hills of West Virginia is proving more challenging than it was in Chardon, Ohio, where he and Connie lived and produced maple syrup for 25 years. The Howells moved into the loft they built above the Tyler County workspace in 2010 largely because he wanted to return to the state in which he was raised.
Howell grew up in the Hackers Creek area of central West Virginia. "I wanted to go back to this life," he said. His wife, a former model who grew up in Chicago where her father owned a fine clothing store, enjoyed living outside of Cleveland, but gamely moved to the country.
"It really is like 'Green Acres,' " said a chuckling Howell, who wore a comfortably worn plaid shirt, jeans and red suspenders. Connie's stylish ensemble and coiffed blond hair did seem to offer contrast.
Howell started making syrup after he helped a friend with his syrup production business. "I became infected with syrup sickness. It causes you to miss work, and tell the boss, 'The trees are running.' Or you know the kids need shoes, but you really want a new piece of equipment," he said.
While the sap runs, usually in January and February, Ed keeps an exhausting 12- to 14-hour workday schedule that culminates each day with meticulous cleaning of all the equipment.
Next year, he plans to build a sugarhouse and move his maple syrup boiling equipment into it. He has about $16,000 in syrup equipment and $5,000 in tubing. At $12 a pint or $20 a quart, Howell will need to sell a great deal of syrup to cover costs. He once asked a friend who had produced syrup for 40 years about the return on investment.
"He said, 'Well, you gotta learn not to look too closely at those numbers,'" Howell said.
This year, production went into March, ending only after the 75-degree days on March 9 and 10. Higher temperatures cause the trees to bud.
"It's called buddy sap and it makes really bad syrup. It's not sweet -- it's bitter," said Connie Howell.
After Howell recovers from the maple season, he returns to the steel industrial tooling business that occupies him the rest of the year. The tool and die equipment fills the rest of the 16- by 145-foot structure. He also does mill- and woodworking on a sawmill.
He brought the equipment from the business he owned in Ohio, where he created stainless steel dies from which he makes plastic parts to specifications.
"I can literally make anything," he said.
The tool and die business won't keep him from off-season maple line maintenance, such as repairing the holes squirrels and other animals sometimes gnaw in the plastic lines. In fact, he used his tool and die equipment to create "Critter Patch," a plastic device that joins breaks in the lines. The holes provide frequent and expensive damage.
The Howells also are working with other West Virginia producers to establish industry regulation and a maple syrup makers association.
Maple syrup is graded from Fancy, with a light, delicate flavor, to Grade B, the darkest and most robust syrup. Most of Sugarcreek's is on the darker end of the syrup spectrum. The Fancy grade is considered most desirable by the experts. The high ranking is a throwback to colonial times when settlers wanted a substance that closely resembled refined sugar. The Howells said most people prefer the darker, more flavorful grades.
Connie Howell enjoys the syrup in maple wheat bread, maple glazed carrots and a maple glaze on ham. She makes maple frosting for apple cake, maple fudge, maple pumpkin cookies and a maple cheesecake and said her maple barbecue sauce goes well on chicken and pork.
"I've had more people request this recipe than any other," said Connie Howell, who shared her recipe.
Like most of their customers, she prefers the darker grade, both in recipes and straight, but watches her intake closely.
"I've been diabetic since I was 5 years old. We think God in heaven must be laughing down on us. He put a maple syrup producer with a diabetic," she said.
The Howells sell Sweetcreek Sugarworks pure maple syrup at fairs and festivals and take phone orders. Call 304-758-0432.

How to remove VAT Column from Invoices in Sage Instant V15
I am not VAT registered and do not want VAT column to appear on my Invoices. One workaround is to show 0% in VAT column but it is illegal to have a VAT column which shows 0% when infact you are not VAT registered because there can be a confusion with products who actually incur 0% VAT and secondly it give an impression that u are VAT registered when you are not.
I think even if you choose that you are not VAT registered while setting up a company in Sage instant v15 2009, the VAT column still shows. Is that right? Also if one chose the option of VAT registered during set up and made a large number of enteries, it will be quite a task to re enter everything. Thus how best to disable / disappear this column while producing Invoices only.
Remove VAT Column
I assume you are talking about when you print an invoice out in which case do the following:
1. Take a full backup of all files (just in case)
2. Go to the Invoice List and select one invoice
3. Select Print
4. When the list of layouts appears, choose the one you want then choose Edit - this will open the layout in the Report Designer.
5. When the layout opens, you'll see all the VAT fields - select each one in turn and delete.
6. Once you've removed all the fields Save the layout and exit the Report Designer.
Remove VAT Column problem Solved
Deleted VAT Column headings and the corresponding data value fields which "pull in" actual values from each invoice as you said and saved it. The VAT columns and the corresponding values don't appear on the invoice anymore. Thanks for your quick reply.Sorry I couldn't login for a number of days.

This is the bow of choice for a majority of archery hunters. Using wheels and cams, it allows the hunter to hold the bow at full draw for a longer period of time for the best shot - a significant advantage over other bow styles. As the hunter begins to draw the bow, the string starts to turn the wheel and cam that is attached to the bow limbs. The hunter pulls the full draw weight until the cam turns over, letting off the full draw weight. When the cam turns over, the draw weight is decreased by 50 to 80%. This decrease in draw weight, achieved by the cam turning over, allows the hunter to hold less draw weight at full draw. There are add-ons to help reduce the effects of vibration - a common drawback of this style of bow.
Adding a stabilizer adds forward weight, to balance the bow and absorb the vibrations when the string is released.
A mechanical device to help the archer to place a shot.
A device that holds the arrow above the arrow shelf.
Will help absorb vibration caused when firing the bow. Will also help reduce shock and excess noise.

Foldit is a revolutionary new computer game enabling you to contribute to important scientific research.
We're collecting data to find out if humans' pattern-recognition and puzzle-solving abilities make them more efficient than existing computer programs at pattern-folding tasks. If this turns out to be true, we can then teach human strategies to computers and fold proteins faster than ever!
Knowing the structure of a protein is key to understanding how it works and to targeting it with drugs. A small protein can consist of 100 amino acids, while some human proteins can be huge (1000 amino acids). The number of different ways even a small protein can fold is astronomical because there are so many degrees of freedom. Figuring out which of the many, many possible structures is the best one is regarded as one of the hardest problems in biology today and current methods take a lot of money and time, even for computers.
Foldit attempts to predict the structure of a protein by taking advantage of humans' puzzle-solving intuitions and having people play competitively to fold the best proteins.

Is it just me, or is this page pretty much a carbon copy of bookmistakes.com? --Cubs Fan (Talk to me) 23:55, September 12, 2009 (UTC)
- Hmmm... Suspicious. We should move this to the respective book article. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 00:06, September 13, 2009 (UTC)
In order?
Should the book mistakes be rearranged in order of how they happened in the book to make it easier? Just a thought... GinnyPi 23:27, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
The Hogwarts' equipment list mentions the Lockhart book "Wanderings With a Werewolf," but later, Lockhart refers to the book as "Weekend With a Werewolf".
- It's most likely intentional to show how clueless he is about his 'own' work.Oneshot 19:35, January 20, 2010 (UTC)
- It is also possible that the title of the book was changed by the editors/publishers from the original manuscript/working title. Sings-With-Spirits 16:54, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
- No, I think, like Oneshot said, that this was an intentional mistake by Rowling to show how much of a fraud Lockhard is and how he is completely clueless and knows nothing about "his own work" (as if it was his anyway :P ). — Firefox1095 — 15:02, July 20, 2011 (UTC)
Secret Keeper
When Dobby arrives at Malfoy Manor to help Harry and the others escape, Ron tells him the location of Bill and Fleur's house in Tinworth. But ever since the Death Eaters found out Ron was with Harry, the house has been protected by the Fidelius Charm, and the charm works in a way that a protected location can't be revealed by a third party. Only Bill could have told Dobby where the house is, and that isn't what happened.
There is nothing that indicates that the Fidelius Charm had not been in place long before the Death Eaters found out about Ron. In fact, Ron had visited the Shell cottage before and was almost certainly a Secret Keeper.
As such, this is not a mistake and I have removed it.Sings-With-Spirits 17:00, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
A bunch of these are speculative
A bunch of these "mistakes" are speculative, and should, imo, be removed (eg - Lupin "probably not" able to have taken 7 days worth of Wolfsbane in 1996; the idea that since it wasn't mentioned there were no Quidditch tryouts in Harry's 2nd or 3rd year, etc). They're not technically mistakes as they require us to assume that because something wasn't specifically mentioned, it could not have occurred. Stevehim 03:01, January 20, 2011 (UTC)
We should also add the books omissions. Omissions are not real mistakes, but it's still a "book-trouble" and that could maybe help. FrenchPygmyPuff 16:38, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
Yes but here is the part where cinematography kicks in. Trust me, if the films didn't have their own style that is dependent from the books and were copied page by page from the books they wouldn't have been as good as they are now. Books have their own style which makes them awesome in their own way while films have they own style which also makes them awesome in their own way. — Firefox1095 — 15:06, July 20, 2011 (UTC)
Quidditch Through the Ages (real)
- A discrepancy in the in-universe book is that although Harry had the book in his first year (1991-1992), there is an event listed that occurred in 1994. It is, however, possible, that the "real" edition was updated.They should have something about that in the book series.
- This book is available in the muggle world (Dumbledore writes that everything is "fictional"), but Wizards try to stay invisible to Muggles so we can imagine that lot of them are against the idea of this book available in the muggle world but there is nothing about this in the books series. FrenchPygmyPuff 16:47, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (real)

I'm going to go through and delete the ones that assume somthing is a mistake on rowling's part over being fine if interpreted a slightly differant way
"In the American paperback on page 461, it states: "It was Moaning Myrtle, who was usually to be heard sobbing in the S-bend of a toilet three floors below." However, in Chamber of Secrets American paperback page 230, Moaning Myrtle says, "I was just sitting in the U-bend, thinking about death..." meaning that she normally sits in the U-bend, not the S-bend."
Yes of course because she happened to be sitting there that praticuler time means she must always do so! Honnestly!
- To be perfectly honest, I agree with you. As a matter of fact a lot of the "mistakes" here are not really mistakes but are just misinterpretted by the readers such as the one you just mentioned but no one listens....Your delete will most likely get reverted :P. Anyway always remember to leave your signature but pressing on the "signature" button on the top or by typing "~~~~" without the quotes. — Firefox1095 — 21:00, September 27, 2011 (UTC)
Chapter 15 of HP3
Come on. 200 hundred Slytherins? That's 20 thousand people! The books say 200! And eight dormitories? 220.127.116.11 03:19, November 7, 2011 (UTC)
- This was presumably an error on the part of someone who intended to write "2 hundred" or "two hundred." I've corrected it. Thanks for pointing it out. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 05:20, November 7, 2011 (UTC)
Maybe not a mistake!
The article mentions this "mistake":
When Harry and Hagrid are leaving the little shack out in the middle of the sea, they used the rowboat that the Dursleys' had borrowed in order to leave the rock. This leaves the Dursleys with no way to get back to shore, yet there is no mention of retrieving them, and it is implied Harry goes straight back to Privet Drive after his shopping at Diagon Alley.
I don't really think there is a mistake. As stated in the book, the island is within visual range of the coast, and once daylight came, the Dursleys would have been able to wave a blanket or bedsheet from the shack to make known that they're stuck on the island, and someone would have come to take them back with a boat. 126.96.36.199 14:01, December 15, 2011 (UTC)
Another bit... "fug" referred to on p38 of HBP as a mistake; clearly not the case and a perfectly legitimate word Sheriff85 21:39, December 23, 2011 (UTC)
Since this has come up a couple of times, simply seeing someone die is not enough to be able to see a thestral. According to JKR:
"That is a really good question, because it enables me to clear up a point. The letters that I've had about the Thestrals! Everyone has said to me that Harry saw people die before could see the Thestrals. Just to clear this up once and for all, this was not a mistake. I would be the first to say that I have made mistakes in the books, but this was not a mistake. I really thought this one through. Harry did not see his parents die. He was one year old and in a cot at the time. Although you never see that scene, I wrote it and then cut it. He didn't see it; he was too young to appreciate it. When you find out about the Thestrals, you find that you can see them only when you really understand death in a broader sense, when you really know what it means."
(JK Rowling at the Edinburgh Book Festival, 15 August 2004)
Wva 19:58, March 2, 2012 (UTC)
- Maybe there should be a separate list of "mistakes" that aren't mistakes but misunderstandings on the part of the reader. The Thestrals one is a common one (I've seen it multiple times in various media), but I'm sure there are others.
- As well as being asserted that Harry should have seen the Thestrals at the end of GoF, having seen Cedric die (in fact, end of term was only a week or two after Cedric's death so it hadn't sunk in yet), there are also those who claim that Harry saw his parents die (as noted above, he didn't, and even if he did he was too young for it to register) or that Harry saw Professor Quirrell die (I think he was already unconscious by the time that happened). -- RobertATfm (talk) 10:37, August 12, 2012 (UTC)
Myrtle's bathroom
In the passage: "Hermione says Moaning Myrtle haunts the bathroom on the first floor. However, when Harry sees the writing on the wall outside her bathroom, he is on the second floor. (This, however, is explained by the fact that in the UK, the ground floor is the floor on which the entrances are, and the floor above it is the first floor, and this was one of the few edits made for the North American release, despite the criticism on edits for Philosopher's Stone.)"
The 'mistake' is only valid for people reading the book in a language other than the language the book was written in. In addition to this, it is not unreasonable for some who was not born in the UK to know (by common general knowledge) that the floors are named differently in different countries, and so it should not be listed as a mistake.

Hogwarts House Quidditch Format
This is not really a mistake as such, but the House Quidditch competition format at Hogwarts seems to be that whichever team has the most points at the end of the season wins. This means it is possible for a team to win the Quidditch Cup by losing all their matches, which is strange
126.96.36.199 07:45, July 19, 2012 (UTC).Anon Y. Mous
- Yes, the Cup is awarded by point totals, not wins, so it would be theoretically possible for a team to lose all 3 of its games and still win the Cup. For example, if a season went like this:
- Gryffindor vs. Slytherin: 300 - 310 (S win)
- Hufflepuff vs. Ravenclaw: 160 - 150 (H win)
- Ravenclaw vs. Slytherin: 160 - 150 (R win)
- Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff: 300 - 310 (H win)
- Hufflepuff vs. Slytherin: 150 - 160 (S win)
- Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw: 300 - 310 (R win)
- At the end of the season, Gryffindor would have 900 points despite losing all 3 of its games, while the other teams would each have 620 points and 2 wins. - Nick O'Demus 08:09, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
- Precisely. Don't you think it's a little odd that a team can win the Cup yet lose all its matches? Did Rowling think of this scenario when designing the Cup format? 126.96.36.199 02:53, July 22, 2012 (UTC) Anon Y. Mous
- Precisely. Don't you think it's a little odd that a team can win the Cup yet lose all its matches? Did Rowling think of this scenario when designing the Cup format? 22.214.171.124 02:53, July 22, 2012 (UTC) Anon Y. Mous
- Also, here's another, more striking scenario.
- > Gryffindor vs. Slytherin: 300 - 500 (S win)
- > Hufflepuff vs. Ravenclaw: 0 - 220 (R win)
- > Ravenclaw vs. Slytherin: 170 - 0 (R win)
- > Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff: 300 - 500 (H win)
- > Hufflepuff vs. Slytherin: 150 - 160 (S win)
- > Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw: 300 - 500 (R win)
This is just one of the infinitely many scenarios where a team loses all three of its matches yet wins the Cup. However, this is different to the previous scenario. In this one, you can clearly see than Ravenclaw looks far and away the best team, and Gryffindor looks like easily the worst team. Here, Gryffindor gets smashed by 200 points in all its games, and Ravenclaw breezes past all its opponents with ease. Yet Gryffindor would still win the Cup with 900 points, and Ravenclaw would only come second with 890 points, despite easily beating all its opponents.
I conclude that surely Rowling made a mistake when designing the format, as it would be absurd to allow a team to win the Cup yet get smashed in all its matches, like in the scenario above. 184.108.40.206 02:53, July 22, 2012 (UTC) Anon Y. Mous
Descent from Slytherin
This is one that's been bothering me for some time.
The Gaunts, and hence Riddle, are supposed to be the last descendents of Salazar Slytherin. But given the large degree of inbreeding in the wizarding world, isn't it far more likely that many, if not most, wizards (especially pure-bloods) are descended from Slytherin?
In Deathly Hallows it is revealed that the Gaunts are descended from the oldest Peverell brother, and Harry from the youngest; meaning that Harry is, at least distantly, related to Voldemort. -- RobertATfm (talk) 03:31, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
I think that the page name should be changed to "List of Mistakes and continuity errors in the Harry Potter books" as the term "continuity errors" better fits some of the points listed, as they are not always completely incorrect ("mistakes") , just JK Rowling's oversight. I wanted to propose the thought rather than change it myself as this is a new account and although I have experience on other wikia's, I am by no means a moderator. RavenclawDBS (talk) 16:07, August 10, 2012 (UTC)
Cornelius Fudge never checks Harry's memory..?
They call Dumbledore and Harry liars about Voldemort returning, and for some reason no one thinks to check Harry's memory to confirm what he saw that night? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs).
- Because, as Slughorn proves in Half-Blood Prince, memories can be tampered with. Either way, Fudge didn't want to know: Cedric's body, Harry's testimony, and Barty Crouch's confession alone would be proof that Voldemort had returned, but he simply chose to disregard them; he would disregard Harry's memory in the same way. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 13:21, August 14, 2012 (UTC)
Vanishing Cabinet "error"
I've just removed a spurious "mistake" in which Bellatrix Lestrange (correctly) calls Harry a half-blood (inserted by someone who was under the false impression that Harry was pure-blood), which was "corrected" on-page by somebody pointing out Harry's blood status, instead of by removing the spurious "error" as should have been done. (Even if that had been a mistake, it would have been a mistake on Lestrange's part, not JKR's.)
However, there's another passage which seems dubious to me, which I suspect ought to be removed, but I'm not sure so am posting it here:
- In Half-Blood Prince, the Death Eaters enter Hogwarts via the Room of Hidden Things, yet a year later Voldemort is certain that no one else knows of the room's existence.
- However, he may have not known that the Vanishing Cabinet was in there, just that it was somewhere inside Hogwarts.
- Voldemort's ignorance and arrogance do not make this a mistake.
My thoughts on this are as follows:
- The Vanishing Cabinet was not in the Room of Hidden Things in Voldemort's time; it was only moved there after Peeves broke it.
- Likely none of the Death Eaters informed Voldemort that the Cabinet was in the Room of Hidden Things; they probably assumed that he already knew, and that this sort of thing was too trivial to mention.
- As mentioned in the third part of the above section, Voldemort's assumption that he was the only person (at least in his time and afterwards) to find the Room of Hidden Things was probably due to his arrogance blinding him to the fact that finding the Room didn't require very great wizardry. Certainly his arrogance caused him to ignore the evidence of the Room being crammed to the rafters with assorted items, showing that the Room had in fact been discovered hundreds or thousands of times before; he probably assumed that these items were centuries old, or created by the Room itself to indicate that this was a good place to hide stuff.
I thus think this is another non-error which should be removed; what does anyone else think? -- RobertATfm (talk) 10:40, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
- I am currently re-reading the HP books, this time in the e-book editions, and have just got to the bit of HP2 where Peeves broke the cabinet (at the behest of Nick, as a diversion to stop Filch giving Harry detention). At the time, the Cabinet conveniently happened to be in the classroom directly above Filch's office; reinforcing my impression that it was only moved to the Room of Hidden Things when it got broken, and because it got broken. -- RobertATfm (talk) 20:26, September 5, 2012 (UTC)
- I completely agree, it's not an error. I've already combed through the article and removed a number of non-errors, but if you see anything else that strikes you as a non-error or needs re-writing, feel free to take care of it. ProfessorTofty (talk) 20:40, September 5, 2012 (UTC)
Well, I've finally cleaned up all of the stuff with the various weak attempts at explanation and natter. I've also removed a lot of things that are nitpicks at best and non-errors at worst. If anyone thinks I've removed something that's really a legitimate error, then it can be restored, but please not if it can be easily explained away. I'm also going to be watching this page closely. ProfessorTofty (talk) 19:23, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
- If you need it then i'll look over it too just to help you as this article is pretty long. But for now I think that you have done a pretty good job. Rainbow Shifter (talk) 19:35, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
- By all means, you're quite welcome to look it over and remove anything else you see if you feel it doesn't belong, or edit it if it can be worded better. ProfessorTofty (talk) 20:51, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
What time does the Hogwarts Express arrive?
I've just checked my eBook copy of Philosopher's Stone and it says that it was getting dark by the time the Hogwarts Express arrived. Yet the best idea we have of Hogwarts' location is that it's near Dufftown, in Moray; according to Wikipedia that means that it's 430 miles from London, and according to sunrisesunset.com, in Moray on 1 September sunset is 20:11, and civil dusk (which is when it starts to get dark) is at 20:52. Unless the Express is ridiculously slow for a train, or takes an extremely roundabout route, surely the journey doesn't take 10 hours? -- RobertATfm (talk) 02:03, September 17, 2012 (UTC)
- The Map of Hogwarts location - "The Hogwarts Express leaves London at 11am (by British Summer Time, presumably, since they are catching the train more-or-less in the Muggle world), heads north and travels until it is almost dark. That's definitely sunset-dark, not just cloud-cover dark, because in CoS they can see stars from the flying Ford, in OotP we are specifically told that it is night when they arrive, and in HBP we see that the sun is setting just before they arrive.
- Sunset in Britain on 1st September, when the train travels, would be about 7:45pm BST in London, 8:15pm BST in the Highlands, becoming seriously dark about forty-five minutes later. In a mountainous area sunset and darkness will arrive somewhat earlier, because the mountains cut into the path of the sun and interrupt it before it reaches the true horizon, but even so we know the journey takes nine, maybe nine-and-a-half hours." ProfessorTofty (talk) 03:06, September 17, 2012 (UTC)
E-book "error"
About two weeks to a month ago, I removed a supposed error because it was claimed to be "in one of the electronic editions", yet it isn't in my e-book copy, which is of the only official e-book edition (at least in British English). This shortly afterwards got reverted ("pending verification" according to the edit summary) because apparently there's also an American English version available from Pottermore (I know there's also a Japanese version, but I doubt this error is such that the Japanese edition could be the one meant) and this needs to be checked.
I now notice that the deletion has been re-done by an anonymous editor (not me, and to judge from the IP not anyone else on Three UK ether), but they didn't give an edit summary so there's no telling why they did it. Have they purchased the American edition and found that the "error" isn't there either? Or did they re-do the deletion simply because of the vagueness of "one of the electronic editions"? I think we should be told. -- RobertATfm (talk) 03:10, October 17, 2012 (UTC)
- It's a good question as to exactly why they deleted it. But even if it turns out that it is an actual error, upon reflection I'm perfectly comfortable with it being removed. I consider this sort of spelling/grammatical mistake error to be a nitpick error and not really a priority to include. ProfessorTofty (talk) 03:24, October 17, 2012 (UTC)
PS: no error: Supposed location of Little Whinging:
Supposed location of Little Whinging:
In the listing of errors for PS is the following entry (in intalics)
When Harry returns from Diagon Alley to Little Whinging, he takes a train from Paddington station. But Little Whinging is in Surrey, south of London, so he should have travelled from Victoria or Waterloo; trains from Paddington head to the west.
I believe this entry can be either deleted, or perhaps better modified to avoid confusion, because I'm sure that many readers wonder about this.
It is true that the largest part of Surrey is south of London. HOWEVER, as the hp-lexion explained years ago, this is not necessarily an error in the book PS, if we take into consideration that there is a small part of Surrey to the west of London. So, Privet Drive, Little Whinging can very well be located in the farthest north of Surrey, to the west of Heathrow Airport and to the northwest of Staines.
The station need not be in the County of Surrey. All that is necessary is it to be the most convenient station for Privet Drive. Harry could have taken the 16.20 train from Paddington towards Reading - direction west - and get off at a station near Little Whinging like for example Langley in Southern Buckinghamshire, and then either walked home or he could have caught a local bus. (Paraphrased from the hp-lexicon).
Please look at: Surrey: Showing the Location of Little Whinging

- There is one slight problem with your hypothesis; no station on the Reading line, or on any other line from Paddington, is anywhere near even the westernmost part of Surrey. As the essay you linked to points out, even if Little Whinging is in the very north-west of Surrey, there are no statons on the Reading line within one and a half miles of the presumed location of Little Whinging. Besides, the essay linked is not canon; and a further argument in favour of Little Whinging being somewhere on the lines from Victoria or Waterloo (and hence against it being on any line from Paddington) is that in the Harry Potter and the Half-Baked Script movie, Dumbledore meets Harry at Surbiton station, which is on a line from Waterloo (and which, incidentally, used to be in Surrey, and is just over the border from Surrey, as is Surrey's county town of Kingston-upon-Thames, about a mile away). As Joanne Rowling was a script consultant for all the movies, this can thus be taken as a pretty strong indication that Little Whinging is somewhere near Surbiton, and hence not within 20 miles of anywhere on the Reading line. Thus there is noo need to amend this entry. -- RobertATfm (talk) 09:14, October 19, 2012 (UTC)
- Oops; in the above "20" should read "several". I've now made the correction; book canon trumps film canon, but film canon trumps speculation on fanon websites, even respected ones such as the Lexicon. -- RobertATfm (talk) 18:26, October 29, 2012 (UTC)
Troll error
In the interests of not starting an edit war, I will bring this up here instead of merely reverting the edit again. The most recent revision to the page proposes an error in Hermione's declaration of guilt for going after the troll in Philosopher's Stone, stating that it is impossible that Hermione would know defending Harry and Ron was even needed without being present in the Great Hall when Quirrell announced the attack. Now, I personally do not follow the logic in this and had removed it when it was previously added yesterday (you can find my argument for removal in the edit history). However, as my removal of this edit was reverted by an editor who I must in good faith assume that has read my reasoning for removing it and disagreed, I will give this supposed error the benefit of the doubt and ask if others agree with this line of reasoning before potentially removing it again.
In shorter terms, is this edit describing a valid error, or has the user made an error in logic? -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 20:45, December 13, 2012 (UTC)
- After she comes into the bathroom, furious, McGonagall asks Harry and Ron why they aren't in the dormitory. That, coupled with the fact that none of the teachers seemed surprised to see the troll (they were by far more surprised that it had been defeated by first-years), I think, allowed Hermione to add two and two: she must've figured that the students had been evacuated to their dormitories because, somehow, a troll was on the loose in the Castle. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 21:19, December 13, 2012 (UTC)
- Well, I think the question is predicated on the fact of whether or not the other teachers knew that Hermione was in the bathroom the whole time. Her excuse is "I went looking for the troll. I thought I could handle it." If the teachers know that she was locked in the bathroom the whole time, then they shouldn't believe her excuse. But if they don't realise it, then they would be willing to swallow it. ProfessorTofty (talk) 21:48, December 13, 2012 (UTC)
- 1337star, thank you for talking to me. Now we are on much more civilized terms. When somebody makes an honest contribution for the public good, you don't just go in and delete just because you might not understand, or you disagree. Hope you are not wreaking havoc on wikipedia. At least give it the benefit of doubt, and communicate with the author. Otherwise you risk coming through as the authoritative policeman of the web.
- Anyway, back to the point I was trying to make. The scene makes sense to the reader only because we know everything that happened: that the troll was announced at the dinner; that Hermione had been in the bathroom the whole time; that the students had been sent to their dormitories and; that the teachers went looking for the troll. Our viewpoint is Harry and Ron's viewpoint. They know all this. Now let's look at what McGonagall knows. She thinks all students are in their dormitories. She hears the commotion, enters the bathroom, and finds the troll plus three students in there. Three students. Why is she angry at Harry and Ron only, and not Hermione? Because it is a girls' bathroom? Maybe. I'm not sure.
- And let's look at Hermione's viewpoint. She had been in the bathroom since before the dinner began. Harry and Ron learned about it when they were going to the dinner. So Hermione could not have possibly known anything about the troll. She's sitting in the bathroom when suddenly a troll comes in. She screams, then Harry and Ron come in and save her. Then the teachers arrive and McGonagall is angry at the boys. WHY? Hermione has no idea how the troll got there or who knew about it. For all she knows it might have been Harry and Ron who let it loose in the first place! She simply does not know. Or it could have been that Harry and Ron had been present with McGonagall in her office when somebody told her that a troll was in the dungeons - McGonagall then would have sent the two boys to their dormitories and gone after the troll with the other teachers; then McGonagall could be angry at the boys, and the two boys only, for not following orders. In which case Hermione would not have learned about the troll until much later. Or it could be that the troll was discovered just minutes earlier. Or there could be several trolls in the castle! And I could go on and on. There are all kinds off possibilities that Hermione could assume, not knowing what took place outside the bathroom.
- But Hermione says this: It is my fault. I went after the troll, I thought I could handle it. And this statement assumes a prior knowledge of what happened at the dinner. Otherwise it just does not make sense. Without that prior knowledge, Hermione could only say something like: "But professor, they saved my life! It is my fault, I should have gone to the dormitory. Harry and Ron came after me and saved my life". Or something like that. But not "I went after the troll, I thought I could handle it".
- I'm sorry, this logic may not make sense to many, but I stand firmly by it. You are welcome to say you don't agree but please don't just wipe out my work without as much as a word.
- And finally, to ProfessorTofty, I have no problem with the teachers accepting Hermione's excuse. They think she was at the dinner so it all makes perfect sense to them. But we, the readers, know she wasn't there, so this doesn't make sense... to at least one of us.
- Thank you, sorry if I offended anyone. And sorry if I make any formatting mistakes, this is my first time. And probably the last, after this experience.
- 22.214.171.124 22:49, December 13, 2012 (UTC)
The above was me, sorry, hard to see if I'm logged in or not... (220.127.116.11)
- In reply to Wiki-VV22... you're forgetting something, or so I believe. Hermione could have lied. She could have just as easily said "I let the troll in for some practise on jinxes and hexes, but lost control of it." I'm not trying to go against anyone, but my belief is that she lied through her teeth. Due to your constant reminders of logic being necessary, I thought I'd point out that if she'd lied it would make sense in every aspect. 18.104.22.168 23:02, December 13, 2012 (UTC)
Slughorn's reference to Ron
This is an easter egg, rather than an error as such, which is why it's on the talk page rather than the article page.
I'm sure that in Half-Blood Prince, when it's Ron's birthday and he and Harry are in Professor Slughorn's office because Ron accidentally took a love potion, Slughorn (because Ron isn't important to him) addresses Ron as "Rupert" — the name of the actor who played Ron. I thought this was a nice little touch; but in my e-book copy, it appears to have been changed to "Ralph". — RobertATfm (talk) 23:21, December 14, 2012 (UTC)
- I think that may already be referenced on Ron's page. Also, I'm not sure, but I think he uses both "Ralph" and "Rupert" at various points in the book. ProfessorTofty (talk) 23:29, December 14, 2012 (UTC)
- I've just finished re-reading the books (in the e-book editions), and I'm sure that if Professor Slughorn refers to Ron as "Rupert" anywhere in the e-book edition (the UK version), I would have remembered. — RobertATfm (talk) 00:03, December 15, 2012 (UTC)
- Interesting. Well, I just checked and here's what's present in my copy of the book: Chapter Eighteen - Birthday Surprises - Page 397 - "Well, a very happy birthday, Ralph--" "Ron--" whispered Harry and Chapter Twenty-Two - After the Burial - Page 485 - "I have had it all' tested for poison. ... Had a house-elf taste every bottle after what happened to your poor friend Rupert." ProfessorTofty (talk) 00:12, December 15, 2012 (UTC)
- I've just finished re-reading the books (in the e-book editions), and I'm sure that if Professor Slughorn refers to Ron as "Rupert" anywhere in the e-book edition (the UK version), I would have remembered. — RobertATfm (talk) 00:03, December 15, 2012 (UTC)
Some cleanup
I've just done a bit of cleaning up on the article; there were several places where typographic em-dashes (--) were used instead of proper ones (—), and at least three instances of American English; two of "snuck" (according to one online usage guide I've read, even in American English the correct term is "sneaked"; "snuck" is a slang term in American, and doesn't exist at all in British) and one of "gotten" (the latter was a false "correction", made on January 14; the word was already the correct "got", but somebody changed it). There may be other cleaning-up to do. — RobertATfm (talk) 14:23, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
- By all means. This tends to be a frequent problem page, despite my own efforts to clean it up. ProfessorTofty (talk) 17:34, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

Logress, you like stats. Let me share some.
In the last 4 days, I've played 16 matches total between my main and alt.
Because of my demanding schedule which currently requires up to 50 hours of time per week, I only wanted to play 2 games per day to satisfy the 5 of 7 event.
8 of 16 matches had to be replayed because of Turn 9 quit.
2 of 16 matches took an excess of 30 minutes due to stalling.
Needless to say, I stayed up later than I wanted and spent a lot more time than I really had just to successfuly complete playing 1 game per day (sic).
Please consider doing something about this as soon as possible.

Liver metastases are cancerous tumors that have spread to the liver from somewhere else in the body.
Cancer that starts in the liver is called hepatocellular carcinoma.
Metastases to the liver; Metastatic liver cancer; Liver cancer - metastatic
Almost any cancer can spread to the liver. Cancers that can spread to the liver include:
The risk of cancer spreading to the liver depends on the location (site) of the original cancer. A liver metastasis may be present when the original (primary) cancer is diagnosed. Or it may occur months or years after the primary tumor is removed.
In some cases, there are no symptoms. When symptoms occur, they may include:
Tests that may be done to diagnose liver metastases include:
Treatment depends on:
Types of treatments that may be used are described below.
When the tumor is only in one or a few areas of the liver, the cancer may be removed with surgery.
When the cancer has spread to the liver and other organs, whole-body (systemic) chemotherapy is usually used. The type of chemotherapy used depends on the original type of cancer.
When the cancer has only spread in the liver, systemic chemotherapy may still be used.
Chemoembolization is a type of chemotherapy to one area. A thin tube called a catheter is inserted into an artery in the groin. The catheter is threaded into the artery in the liver. Cancer-killing medicine is sent through the catheter. Then another medicine is sent through the catheter to block blood flow to the part of the liver with the tumor. This "starves" the cancer cells.
How well you do depends on the location of the original cancer and how much it has spread to the liver or anywhere else. In rare cases, surgery to remove the liver tumors leads to a cure. This is usually only possible when there are a limited number of tumors in the liver.
In most cases, cancer that has spread to the liver cannot be cured. Patients whose cancer has spread to the liver usually die of their disease. However, treatments may help shrink tumors, improve life expectancy, and relieve symptoms.
Complications are often the result of tumors spreading to a large area of the liver.
They can include:
Anyone who has had a type of cancer that can spread to the liver should be aware of the signs and symptoms listed above, and call the doctor if any of these develop.
Early detection of some types of cancer may prevent the spread of these cancers to the liver.

Posting this here because Vorropohaiah said I should
Val Nevan is a city in the conworld I started when I was still running a Dungeons & Dragons campaign (which is long-dead). It is the capital of the Kingdom of Ainemmais, which is in turn one of the kingdoms that make up the greater kingdom of Muyremere. While my D&D-playing days are over, I'm still busy fleshing out that kingdom and drawing the maps is the part I enjoy best. I could write some history, but I fear it would bore everyone to death the way it did my players.
I got most of my inspiration for this map from four things:
- the town of Valkenburg in the south of the Netherlands. See the sandcastle impression of the monster that may have once dominated the town,
- Hochburg Emmendingen in the Black Forest, Germany,
- the city of Freiburg (Black Forest, as well),
- an old map of Brugge (or Bruges if you will) and
- quite a few maps and tutorials I've seen here and on the Guild's DA-page.
As an aside, I suggest you visit these places if you have the opportunity. They are made of awesome
Some pics I looked at A LOT: 1 2 4
I had been wanting to do a isometric-y map for a long time, but never felt I'd be able to pull it off. I'd tried a few times using a grid and photohop, but it never looked decent. Then I went back to old-fashioned pen and paper and things started to come together. Thankfully, it turned out to be more of a matter of patience than real drawing skills. Technically, I screwed up quite a lot (accidentally using slightly different projections, mistaking the relative size of buildings, smudging), but because all the houses are so small and there are so many of them, they don't seem to stand out too much if you look at the map as a whole. Just don't zoom in on the houses on the street near the east gate and notice how they all appear to be falling over in one direction or other
It was drawn on A3 paper with pencils and my trusted micron pens, then scanned and coloured in Photoshop. The details like the writing and the coats of arms were done digitally, but to preserve the hand-made look, I printed them out, traced them, and scanned them again. I used a stock image for the aged-paper background, but I have absolutely no idea where I got it, so I can't credit the person responsible. If someone here recognises it, please let me know.
I don't have anything else to tell. It's been tremendous fun to do, your support and advice were awesome, and I'm glad it's done. Thanks for watching

Despite many benifits of solar cooking the acceptance solar cooking is very marginal in India .Based on my 25 years experience, I wish to share my ideas on the subject as described below:
- To appeal at philosiphical level.Sun is the ultimate source of all energy available in the nature. Rice or vegetables etc in nature are nothing but conversion of solar energy into nutrients forms.Therefore using solar heat to cook food ,we shall be more in tune with the nature.Most of problems that we invite to us are when we act/live against the nature.
- To appeal at religious sentiments level.Hindu women widely worship the Sun God during many religious festivals.One famous festival is called "CHAT in winter months".Hindu Women seek blessings from the sun god by immersing their body in cold waters of river/ponds and perform rituals during sun rise and sun set times.House wives are connected with cooking. They play major role in decision making for use/purchase of solar cookers. Therefore while promoting sale of solar cookers deep rooted sentiments of hindu women forthe sun god should be exploited.In addition "Surya Namaskara" posture in Yoga exercise is widely followed. Its link is with the Sun in sanskrit its Surya.
- Link to the story of AKHCHYYA PATRA to solar cookers. There is an interesting story inthe hindu epic mythological story called "Mahabhartha".Draupadi wives of Pandavas was a great devout of Sun God. During 14 yrs exile in forest.
- Once an occasion arose for Draupadi to feed 100 of guests. In Hindu the religion guests are considered as god. To feed them she requested the sun god to help her. She was given by sun god an "Akhchaya Patra". Sun god told her that so long there is one grain of food in it, the vessel will never run short of food. Hence its called "Akhchaya" or endless and "Patra" means vessel in Hindi/Sanskrit.This story can be cleverly modified to promote sale amongst hindu women.
- Use of empty glass jar/bottles (1 -3 ltr size). Poor indians mostly use cheap quality of aluminium alloy cooking utensils.Minute particles of highly reactive alumnium gets dissolved when ingriedents contain tomotos/tamrind(acidic) in high temp Even branded Pressure Cookers shows minute pot holes in the base after 6-7 montths of use cooking indian recipes.Obviously metal in PPM ,has dissolved in food due acidic nature of ingriedents under high temp of gas flame.Use of wide mouthed glass jars of honey/horlicks etc shuold be high lighted in solar cooking. Glass is inert hence food cooked retains natural flavor and nutrients(slow cooking at 100 *C.).Glass being transparent state of cooking can be judged from outside especially in rice cooking. There is a lot of hassle involved in using metal cooking pots, thereby reducing acceptance of solar cookers. Use of cooking pots made of high quality metals or glassware kitchen pots makes portable and unaffordable and thus make a paradox that in poor countries "Those who need solar cookers most can not afford them and those who can afford them do not need them as cost of saving in fuel is not worth hassles involved in outside cooking under the sun".
- Lightweight Economical Portable Domestic Parabolic Solar Cookers: Sk-14 type of cookers weigh around 23 kgs made of metals frame. Many houses do not have shadowless open areas. Manual shifting of Solar cooker is required to catch the sun due shadows from trees /bldgs/walls etc.For this wt upto 3-4 kg will be suitable for ladies. Umbrella type or other lt wt psc be promoted in poor countries. French made Cookup 200 ID is good but its cost is over 300 euros.india cost should be around Rs 2-300/- as poor low middle class family need them most whose monthly income is hardly Rs 10,000/- per month.
