In 1999, when Vaja first began crafting their exceptional Argentinian leather cases, it all started with a small dream. The goal was to create products that were well designed, built with the best quality materials available, and could be enjoyed for years to come.
We are more than designers and craftsmen; we are also gadget freaks who love technology. When we first started using PDA's like the Palm Pilot, we realized that there were no premium leather cases on the market offering both style and protection. Thus, Vaja was born.
After 15 years of making cases, we are still a small brand that has relied on word-of-mouth marketing as we believe that our products truly speak for themselves. Our new customers usually become our biggest advocates as soon as they see, hold and smell the Vaja difference.
Our products are made by hand by skilled artisans using traditional techniques and can be customized with various types of leathers and colors. Each production run is limited in number due to the amount of leather available at that time.
We specialize in custom, premium leather cases. Although we carry the classic black cases in stock for immediate delivery, you can always go to the customizer to create your very own, one-of-a-kind premium leather case if you are looking for additional colors and leather types.
Now offering premium leather iPhone cases, custom iPad cases, cases for Samsung Galaxy, leather bags, premium wallets and much more. Explore more of the best premium leather goods below.

Probability: The Science of Uncertainty: with Applications to Investments, Insurance, and Engineering - Michael A Bean
Mathematical Statistics: Asymptotic Minimax Theory - Alexander Korostelev and Olga Korosteleva
Foundations and Applications of Statistics simultaneously emphasizes both the foundational and the computational aspects of modern statistics. Engaging and accessible, this book is useful to undergraduate students with a wide range of backgrounds and career goals.
The exposition immediately begins with statistics, presenting concepts and results from probability along the way. Hypothesis testing is introduced very early, and the motivation for several probability distributions comes from p-value computations. Pruim develops the students' practical statistical reasoning through explicit examples and through numerical and graphical summaries of data that allow intuitive inferences before introducing the formal machinery. The topics have been selected to reflect the current practice in statistics, where computation is an indispensible tool. In this vein, the statistical computing environment \(\mathsf{R}\) is used throughout the text and is integral to the exposition. Attention is paid to developing students' mathematical and computational skills as well as their statistical reasoning. Linear models, such as regression and ANOVA, are treated with explicit reference to the underlying linear algebra, which is motivated geometrically.
Foundations and Applications of Statistics discusses both the mathematical theory underlying statistics and practical applications that make it a powerful tool across disciplines. The book contains ample material for a two-semester course in undergraduate probability and statistics. A one-semester course based on the book will cover hypothesis testing and confidence intervals for the most common situations.
Request an examination or desk copy.

Mead is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey that has been diluted by water. Mead was popularised in classical Greece and imperial Rome. It became the favourite drink of many European tribes after the fall of Rome. Mead is also a favourite drink in the Wizarding world.
Known uses
In Harry Potter's third year, Rubeus Hagrid ordered five pints of mulled mead from Madam Rosmerta at the Three Broomsticks pub in Hogsmeade.
During the 1994-1995 school year, there was a rumour abound that Albus Dumbledore had ordered many barrels of Mead for the Yule Ball, but this was proven false.
Harry first had Mead in the summer of 1996 when Dumbledore arrived at 4 Privet Drive to explain Sirius Black's will to him. He remarked that though he had never had anything like it, he enjoyed it immensely.
In Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts, Professor Horace Slughorn gave Ron Weasley a glass of oak-matured mead, after giving him the antidote to a Love Potion as a pick-me-up, unaware that the mead had been poisoned by Draco Malfoy via a bewitched Rosmerta, who had intended that the mead bottle reach Dumbledore; Argus Filch did not detect the poison due to him not recognising poison, nor did he doubt anything from Rosmerta. Only quick work by Harry Potter, who shoved a Bezoar down Ron's throat, saved his life. Dumbledore would later comment to Draco that this was a crude and desperate method of assassination.

Artists of the Renaissance looked to the classics for inspiration, yet infused their work with innovative techniques and a new aesthetic sensibility. In 1983, David Yurman did the same with the development of his first Cable design, the Renaissance bracelet, which merges sculptural form with the brilliant jewel tones found in classical painting. Cable exemplifies the designer's motto of "Continuing in the Classic Tradition," with references to ancient Greek and Roman, Egyptian and Celtic forms. Twisting multiple strands of metal into a cohesive helix, Cable is David Yurman's iconic design and signature motif.
"Gemstones have a beauty unlike anything else," explains David Yurman. He is known for his use of brilliant colored stones in bold dimensions and unconventional combinations. What makes them radiate is the designer's signature faceting. David Yurman has developed exclusive cuts that reveal a stone's fullest brilliance and color. Unique settings further highlight the beauty of the gems—proving once again that when this sculptor's skilled artistry meets nature's most beautiful materials, beautiful things happen.

Michelle & Travis are high school sweethearts and an adorable couple. Their wedding was held at the Bahia ponds and William D. Evans for the reception. Michelle & Travis met before their beautiful ceremony. For the reception, Michelle told us that she fell in love with the stained glass ceiling of the boat and Travis loved the bar, so we took extra care to incorporate both elements into their photos. The fireworks were a beautiful addition to a wonderful wedding. It was quite fairytale-like to watch them.

2002 FISHING REPORT - NEWS AND VIEWS.WHAT A YEAR! The final count on legal muskies out of this Lodge is again high (35 in 2000, 47 in 2001,42 in 2002). The list looks longer as we continued, and will continue, our philosophy of FISHING IS FOR FUN. If you enjoyed catching it, we invite you to put it on the chart. People often ask about the current agitation to raise the "legal" size to a trophy level of, perhaps 40". Our succint reply is that our guests release almost 100%, except damaged fish, and that humankind's definition "legal" is irrelevant to the musky's sex life and their well being! We advocate two categories recordable (30"-45") vs. trophy of 45" or larger. So, we intend for our musky chart to list the fun you had!May - saw less catch that usual June - saw a few moreJuly - saw fewer musky (perhaps all our guests were golfing in July 2002 as the resort had the biggest month of July yet for both Lodge and golf!)August - was average, September - was best in years (even without the big day of Sept. 10/11 when there were twenty guides and ten extra boats, and we needed traffic cops and valet parking for guide trailers!)October - was disappointing earlier but later the fishing turned excellent, especially for walleye..STORIES, STORIES, STORIES.....I am happy so many of regular, repeat superb fishermen were successful. The Ott family and Bob and Pat Altergott in September. Young Mike Wilson was as enthusiastic (fanatic?) as ever and Granma and his guide, John Myhre, had a hard time keeping up. Joe Schart was successful in June, boating his 25th, and also remembering those now dead he had fished with for those 25 fish: his father, Bert Hardenbrook, his guide Ken Eck - but also enjoying being with his own son, who now fishes with Dad, golfs with Mum, and photographs the Lodge in its many moods on his own (when the web page gets updated for 2003, most of those pictures will be Jody's). In 2002, we all mourned Ken Eck's passing - a legend of fishing and of fishing stories, both by him and about him. His name is to be in the Fishing Hall of Fame here in Hayward.AS USUAL, SOME WEEKS JUST EXPLODE when you aren't expecting it: this year they were June 21-24, JUNE 29-30, Aug. 11-13, Sept. 4-7, Sept. 15-18, Sept. 26-28.AS USUAL, there were constant reports of musky right off the dock, or very close in where you didn't need a boat, except to chase it. No musky went after bait under the big central dock this year. However, there were a couple of stories where the musky favored your arrival day and seemed to like the smell of the car still on the line, before the suitcases even got unpacked. Moral of the story? Settling-in can wait - go fishing immediately! However, the bigger talk around here is twofold: the BASS fishing has provided a lot of fun, mostly small-mouth but also large mouth. The other chatter in the area, and at our local Happy Hooker bait and tackle store, is that FLY-FISHING for musky is on everyone's tongue. If you want to try it, we can get you guides for this as well as conventional fishing. The Orvis dealer down the road is very involved. "The big day" was Sept. 10, when one corporate customer at the Lodge put thirty boats on Teal, Lost Land and Teal River, (20 of them guides) for one grand tournament. This unique and wonderful day was totally catch and release, the musky being released immediately under Muskies, Inc. tournament rules, and other categories being kept in live wells, brought in for weigh in and then released. They offered equal prizes for the top three fish in five categories: musky, northern, bass, walleye and crappie. It meant that the usual emphasis of the fall was not preoccupied with musky, and many musky guides were lured away by these incentives! All categories brought in substantial fish, so it was a wonderful measure of "one moment in time." Top prize winner in each category were:Musky: 42"Northern Pike: 4.9 lbs.Bass: 2.4 lb.Walley: 2.3 lbs.Crappie: 15 oz.Teal Lake is well and very happy! Thank you for this terrific moment, to measure what is today against "how it used to be."

text: Our Canberra accommodation is perfect for exploring this fascinating city, which was chosen as Australia's capital in 1908 and fully planned in 1912 by Walter Burley Griffin, the winner of an international design competition. Europeans first settled the Canberra area in the 1830s, on the lands of the Indigenous Ngunnawal people, and Canberra's name is thought to mean 'meeting place', derived from the Aboriginal word Kamberra. There is so much to do while staying in one of our Canberra hotels: take a step back into Australian political history at Old Parliament House, which acted as the home of federal government from 1927 to 1988; tour the current home of federal politics, Parliament House; see Phar Lap's abnormally large heart displayed at the National Museum of Australia; research your family tree or browse through Parliamentary papers and war service records at the National Archives; admire portraits of influential Australians at the National Portrait Gallery; pay your respects at the National War Memorial; immerse yourself in art at the National Gallery of Australia; spark your quest for knowledge at Questacon, the National Science and Technology Centre; or see where champions are trained at the Australian Institute of Sport. Canberra has two main football teams, which are the NRL Canberra Raiders, and the country's most successful Super 14 team, the ACT Brumbies. Both teams share the same home ground - Canberra Stadium (formerly known as Bruce Stadium), for which we have all your accommodation needs covered, with our range of hotels near Canberra Stadium. Our Canberra accommodation is a great base to enjoy one of Canberra's many annual festivals including: The Royal Canberra Show in February, with 5000 animals and 450 trade displays; the Canberra District Wine Harvest Festival in April; the National Folk Festival across the Easter weekend; and the 30 day flower festival of Floriade in August and September. While staying in our Canberra hotels, take a two hour scenic drive to explore the nearby high country of the Snowy Mountains. The Snowy Mountains is Australia's favourite winter playground, internationally renowned for its ski slopes, but the area also offers many summer activities including hiking, horse riding and fishing. If you are looking for more than just a day trip out of Canberra, check out our great rates on Snowy Mountains accommodation. Our Canberra accommodation also makes a great base for exploring the 30 wineries of the Canberra Wine District, which extends eastward from Yass to Lake George.

Mr Whoopee
this wiki
The Mr Whoopee is an ice-cream van found in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It is usually found driving around the suburban areas of each city. It doesn't appear in Grand Theft Auto IV, but the Mr. Tasty takes its place. The Mr. Whoopee is most likely a parody of Mister Softee or "Mr.Whippy", a brand of ice cream vans and products seen in Great Britain and Austraila. In every Grand Theft Auto game it looks slightly different, if it is from different headlights or a different body.
The Mr Whoopee is evidently designed as a vehicle based on a van or box truck. In GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the Mr. Whoopee has a unique, modern design (the headlights and grille resemble those of a 1986 Ford Transit, while the van itself can also resemble a deformed 1992 Toyota Hiace); however, in GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories, it resembles a modified Boxville step van (being similar in design but considerably smaller).
In most of its appearances, the decorations on top of the van serve as sexual references. In GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, it resembles a large pair of breasts, whereas in GTA San Andreas, it resembles a penis. The GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories renditions are exceptions, with only a single ice cream swirl and a chocolate bar.
One of the vehicle's special attributes is a musical jingle that can be toggled on or off with the horn button. The melody in GTA III and GTA Vice City is the same as that used by the Ice-Cream Van in Grand Theft Auto 2, but in GTA San Andreas, it is different. The melody is also same for the truck in GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories.
Due to its size, the Mr Whoopee is largely slow and suffers in steering and braking. In addition, the Boxville-style renditions are top heavy and is prone to rolling if not driven carefully. The van in GTA San Andreas is significantly slower than the van in other games. The van in GTA Liberty City Stories can also easily blow up after few collisions, thereby making it the weakest vehicle in GTA Liberty City Stories. The GTA III version, strangely, takes no physical damage. Most renditions have powerful-sounding diesel engines, however, GTA III's van has a gasoline engine, while the San Andreas van has a much weaker-sounding diesel. The Mr. Whoopee vans are front-wheel drive in GTA Vice City and GTA III, and rear-wheel in all other games.
Appearances in missions
- In GTA III, there's a mission called I Scream, You Scream in which you have to pick up a bomb, get a Mr. Whoopee, park it in a lot in Atlantic Quays, wait for the Forellis, and detonate the bomb.
- In GTA Vice City, the Mr. Whoopee has a mission called Distribution associated with it, in which the player uses a Mr. Whoopee truck as a front to sell an unspecified controlled substance to passing pedestrians. Four or more sales in a short time will earn the player a wanted star.
- In GTA Vice City, the Mr. Whoopee truck is among the vehicles on the third "wanted list" that appears on the lower level of Sunshine Autos once the player purchases that asset property.
- As the GTA San Andreas version of the truck does appear on rare occasions in traffic in beach areas of Los Santos, the driver is depicted as an obese ice cream man posing as clown. His appearance is made to be similar to pictorial depictions of the Mr. Whoopee clown on parts of the Mr. Whoopee truck.
- There is a way to obtain the Mr. Whoopee in GTA Liberty City Stories on both the PS2, and PSP. The player has to aim carefully at the head of the driver of the truck in the mission Scooter Shooter. When the driver falls out, the empty truck will remain where it is or you can use a Flamethrower - only on rare occasions.
- It's the rarest vehicle of GTA III. Finding it in traffic is very difficult. However, on the mobile port, it is easier to find the Mr. Whoopee in traffic. This is one of the changes Rockstar made to the game for this port, as it potentially helps the player safe power on their device.
- The GTA III version has no horn or radio. Holding the horn button will just turn on the jingle. The GTA VC version has a radio, but lacks a horn. Holding the horn button does nothing.
- On rare occasions, it can be spotted driving around Chinatown, Portland View, Saint Mark's, Rockford and Cedar Grove. It can rarely be found parked in the parking lot at Staunton View Picnic Area. Also found driving around Cochrane Dam, where it is more common. In the mobile version, the Mr. Whoopee spawns more freuqently, making it less rare.
- During Vigilante and Firefighter missions.
- At the Import/Export garage, Portland Harbor, after all vehicles on the list have been delivered.
- Can be acquired if not detonated in I Scream, You Scream.
- Obtainable more easily through third-party trainers.
GTA Vice City
- Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory, Little Havana. The player must buy the factory to access the van. Entering the van starts the Distribution side-mission.
- During Vigilante missions
GTA San Andreas
- Can be found in urban areas such as Los Santos in sunny weather. The beach party cheat makes it very common.
- Spawns around beach areas in Los Santos
- Can be found outside a rest stop in Las Payasadas. Only spawns when arriving from the west. If the player arrives from any other direction a Hotdog and a Bobcat will spawn in its place. Tested and confirmed on Xbox 360.
- It can also be spotted driving on the west side of San Fierro.
- Spawns when driving a Faggio around the Verona Beach/Santa Maria Beach area.
GTA Liberty City Stories
- Can be found in the "Scooter Shooter" mission acquired in Chinatown. It is rarely seen driving on the streets.
- Can be obtained by using Cheat Device.
GTA Vice City Stories
- Can be found inside the area of Chunder Wheel

If you're like most people in the Northern U.S. in January, your skin is less than a few shades from pasty. But just because it's the dead of winter, you don't need to look like a corpse. Everyone knows how bad it is to go tanning, and you don't have to risk cancer just to get a healthy glow this time of year. With the help of a few cosmetics, your skin will be looking alive in no time.
Marie Claire reports that silver makeup palettes are perfect for pale skin. Try lining your eyes with a silver liquid eyeliner to make your eyes pop, or swipe on some silver and purple shadow - this cool palette is the perfect eyeshadow for brown eyes, but also looks stunning on green, hazel and blue.
When your skin resembles Snow White's, having the right shade of blush is important. A muted mauve blush might be good for every day, but a brighter raspberry hue can make your cheeks truly glow.
Lip color is also an important part of makeup palettes for pale skin. If you prefer lip gloss, choose one with a deep raspberry shade. You can also rock red lips on occasion, like pale skin cover girl Taylor Swift.

Sometimes last, the government announced that the compulsory National Service will be rejuvenated and registration would start in the coming financial year. According to the minister, the revival of the programme is a result of public demand for its revival after appreciation of its positive work done previously in inculcating into country's youth the value of patriotism, solidarity, equality, physical fitness and value for labor work including manual work among elites…
The program is not new in Tanzania or elsewhere in the world. Many developed and developing countries have various forms of national service depending on their socio-economic needs.
National service is the usual term for compulsory military service programmes in countries including Austria, Denmark, Greece, Guyana, Israel, Iran, Malaysia, Mexico, Norway, Finland, the Republic of China (Taiwan), Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland and Turkey. Conscription in the United States was called Selective Service and continued until 1973. Most NATO countries discontinued obligatory military service in the 1970s. Israel was the only country to conscript young women as well as young men for military service in the late 20th century.
India has a separate programme called the National Service Scheme (NSS) in which students from primary level to graduate level participate. In some Indian colleges (like IITs), it is a compulsory part of curricula.
In the 21st century, an increasing number of young people are enrolling in civilian or non-military national services, generally referred to as "National Youth Services". Civilian national services have been instituted for varying reasons, such as to foster national unity; to make conscription more equitable; to provide young people with experience, perhaps to improve their employability; to achieve certain social objectives, such as helping poor people or the environment; or to allow students to fund their education. Civilian national services have been formed in over 30 countries.
Some of countries with such programmes include: named as China's Poverty Alleviation Relay Project; New Zealand's Conservation Corps; Nigeria's National Youth Service Corps; Singapore's National Cadet Corps; National Youth Service (Seychelles); National Youth Service (Zimbabwe); United Kingdom's Community Service Volunteers; just to mention a few examples.
It should be noted that in Tanzania, the programme is coming back against the backgrounds of changed social, political and economic settings, calling also for adjustments to meet the requirements of the times, without diluting the core values of the programme. In Seychelles, the "National Youth Service" (NYS) was formerly compulsory and included traditional educational curriculum, political education and paramilitary training. However, it was a heavily-criticized program by the Seychellois opposition on the grounds that it allegedly indoctrinated young adults with the ruling Seychelles People's Progressive Front's socialist ideology and that it rarely allowed its participants to visit their families. We do not expect such happenings in Tanzania.
I attended National Service programme for one year at Ruvu JKT camp between July 1990 to June 1991. Apart from paramilitary tactics training, various other trainings in agriculture including poultry keeping, arts and construction were provided. We produced rice, vegetable, poultry meat, eggs and other agricultural products such that the camp managed to feed itself and sell variety of products to various customers in Dar es Salaam and neighboring regions. However, I am still wondering why the programme collapsed, given that the huge labor force was able to produce in surplus. It is clear that the management of the productions at these camps was poor and lead to misuse/ embezzlement of resources.
In Tanzania people who have attended and not attended JKT have different opinions on revival of National Service, from both groups there are those who support by claiming that it is useful for promoting national unity, citizenship education, as well as life and vocational skills buildings. On the other side, the group which oppose this program claim that the previous experience with this programme has shown that it was consuming a lot of resources with very little social and economic returns. Moreover, some people who attended this programme claim that they did not get any sort of vocational training apart from a series of tortureous experiences from Afandes.
I could agree with both camps especially those who attended the programme and obtained hands on experience of its usefulness or unusefulness according to therir opinions.
However, as the revival of the national service programme seem to be a reality now, I am sure we are not in a position to oppose it but the most important issue is to try to come up with concrete issues on success and failures of national service programme in order to use these issues for lobbying and advocacy to ensure that the up coming National Service programme is effective and efficient and provide high returns both socially and economically.
Below I present some ideas on how tha National Service programme can be used as an engine towards supporting implementation of poverty alleviation programmes such as MKUKUTA.
National Service programme should not only expose attendees to military training but also to prepare the attendees to provide technical support to other programmes which can support development programmes especially in areas where most technical staff are not available.
On the other side, we have observed that graduates in various fields such as education, arctitecture, engineering, health, agriculture, community development, law and others have stranded for years looking for jobs in vain.Tthere are opinions that the government can utilise National Service programme as a trade off for students education various levels of education especially in colleges and universities.
Instead of paying loans graduates are enrolled in National Service camps for few months say six months whereby ther are given special training on volunteerism and later deployed to various areas in the country which do not have adequate professionals in various fields such as health, education, agriculture and so on. These volunteers will work in the specified areas for say three years before are allowed to request for transfer. If they are found competent and effective then they can obtain automatic employment in the government. During the time of volunteerism thay will be paid as employees and provided with necessary services such as accommodation. This will support retaining of these graduates in the areas of deployment.
This exercise will support to curb the problem of inadequate professionals in rural areas, while at the same time will provide adequate working skills and experiences to new graduates.
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is an organisation set up by the Nigerian government to involve the country's graduates in the development of the country. There is no military conscription in Nigeria, but since 1973 graduates of universities and later Polytechnics have been required to take part in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program for one year[1]. This is known as national service year.
"Corp" members are posted to cities far from their areas of origin. They are expected to mix with people of other tribes, social and family backgrounds, to learn the culture of the indigenoues as well as supporting developemnt programmes in the place they are posted to. This action is aimed to bring about unity in the country, to help youths appreciate other ethnic groups as well as provide an opportunity for youth to utilise their skills in supporting national development programmes.
There is an "Orientation" period of approximately three weeks spent in a camp away from family and friends. There is also a "passing out ceremony" at the end of the year and primary assignment followed by one month of vacation.
In Nigeria, the program has also helped in creating entry level jobs for a lot of Nigerian youth. An NYSC forum dedicated to the NYSC members was recently built to bridge the gap amongst members serving across Nigeria and also an avenue for corpers to share job information and career resources as well as getting loans from the National Directorate Of Employment.
National service programme can also be utilise to boost skills for artists, athletes and sports men and women. We have currently seen that arts, athletics and sports have become one of the major source of employment. Though not professionally trained, our local artists and sportsmen/ women have managed to utilise their skills in obtaining income, such that at some extent they have now managed own houses, cars, businesses and other social and economic returns which have provided necessities for themselves and their families. We cannot deny that arts, atghletics and sports have part to play in poverty reduction as the financial circulation in these businesses is high and therefore can support in income generation.
The national service can also be a place to promote arts, sports and athletic skills by intriducing special professional trainings which can attract young people to join in and thereafter become professional artists, athletics and sportsmen and women.
On the management of camps and production activities, there is a need to establish effective systems for controlling mis use of resources and abuse of power in order to ensure that the programme does not end up as previously was. This goes with ensuring that the training programmes in the camps are well designed, structured and delivered to ensure the target groups obtain necessary skills while the programme objectives are met, without compromising their human rights.
It is my opinion that the National Service could be a very useful programme in becoming an engine in supporting poverty alleviation strategies in country by providing adequate and necessary skills to the attendees who are later going to be deployed in various areas to support implementation of development programmes such as Kilimo Kwanza, education for all, improved health services and many others.

Alastor Moody's magical eye acted as a replacement eye for him after he lost his original one in battle. It is a round, electric-blue eye that he placed into his empty eye socket. It can rotate 360 degrees in Moody's head and allowed him to see through anything, whether it be wood, Invisibility cloaks, or even the back of his own head. However, there appeared to be limits, since Albus Dumbledore was presumably able to cast a Disilliusionment Charm so strong that it cloaked not just him but also Professors McGonagall and Snape from Barty Crouch Jr's perception when they apprehended him. It is this eye that earned Moody his nickname "Mad-Eye."
First Wizarding War
Sometime during the First Wizarding War, Moody lost his eye during a clash with Death Eaters, and had the magical glass eye inserted as a replacement.[1]
During summer 1994, before Moody was able to take his one-year post as Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he was attacked and captured by Peter Pettigrew and Barty Crouch Jr. Using Polyjuice Potion, Crouch Jr. disguised himself as Moody and then took Moody's eye and leg as his own.[2]
- "Damn it, it keeps getting stuck — ever since that scum wore it."
- —The damage the eye suffered from Crouch's wearing.[src]
After Moody was freed and regained his eye, the eye tended to get stuck in mid-rotations at times, due to Barty Crouch having worn it. Moody had to put the eye in water and clean it to get it to function properly once more.[3]
In July 1997, Moody was killed by Lord Voldemort during the Battle of the Seven Potters. Moody's corpse was recovered by the Death Eaters, and his magical eye was taken by Dolores Umbridge, who used it to keep track of her subordinates in the Ministry of Magic.When Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley broke into the Ministry, Harry found the eye and was revolted by how it was being used.[4] He took it off its wall, which raised alarm. After the trio fled from the Ministry and to the forest near where the 1994 Quidditch World Cup was held, Harry buried the eye under the oldest, most gnarled and resilient-looking tree he could find, and marked the grave with a small cross. With this, Moody was given a proper burial, as far as was possible.[5]
Behind the scenes
- In the novels, the magical eye replaced Moody's right eye. In the films, it replaced his left.
- In the books, the eye has been depicted to be simply to be inserted into his empty eye socket. In the films, it requires some special holder strapped around the socket.
- In the fourth film, the eye has shown to also have zoom-in capabilities.
- It is unknown if this eye is unique to Moody, or if anyone can get one if they needed an eye-replacement, although the fact that it is powerful enough to see through the Cloak of Invisibility, one of the Deathly Hallows, suggests that it may be a rare artefact or, at least, not commonly found or produced.
- Although the magical eye was seen as a cameo on the door of Dolores Umbridges office following Moody's death in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, there is no indication of Umbridge receiving it as a gift. Additionally, the parts of Umbridge using the eye to spy on the Ministry workers, Harry learning it is there and retrieving it, as well as Harry burying the magical eye out of respect for the late Moody, have been omitted.
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, Moody's eye is like his normal eye in colour, though larger than his normal eye and held up by a strap.
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 Moody's eye is much larger and Harry and Ron as Cattermole and Runcorn must make a violin out of Diffindo pieces and lull the eye to sleep, then sneak in.

A sex offender is back behind bars on a charge of failing to report his new address to authorities, which is something people convicted of sex crimes are required by law to do.
Kevin Andrews, 37, of Greenville was booked in the Pitt County Detention Center under a $75,400 bond Tuesday. In addition to the charge of failing to report change of address, he's accused of a probation violation and failing to appear on a charge of driving while license revoked.
The jail and the sex offender registry list Andrews as living on Briarcliff Drive in Greenville. It's not clear whether that is his current address that he failed to report, or the location authorities had him registered as living.

May 5, 2016
A University of Central Florida spokesman says it appeared that a student who committed suicide there planned an attack on campus.
Spokesman Grant Heston says that materials found in the dorm room made it appear that a wider attack was planned.
Police say he pulled a gun on another student, who then called police.
Heston says the university was in the process of removing the 30-year-old student from the dorm before Monday. Campus Police Chief Richard Beary say four makeshift explosive devices were found in a back pack. Beary says he believes that the dead student pulled a fire alarm in the dorm to get other students out in the open for an attack.
The student was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound with guns and the explosives.

Previous Story
Hundreds of students have been evacuated from a dorm on the University of Central Florida campus in Orlando after explosives devices were found while authorities were investigating a death.
Police were called to Tower 1 early Monday after a fire alarm went off. Arriving officers found a man dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police told local TV stations they found an assault weapon and improvised explosive devices on the scene.
About 500 students were evacuated from the dorm and a parking garage was closed.
The university has cancelled classes through noon Monday as a precaution.
A statement on the university's website said the UCF Arena will open Monday morning to accommodate displaced students.
It was not immediately known whether the dead man is a student.

Skamania Proposal-mania Stories - Kate Schroeder
We were celebrating my husband Jason's 40th birthday on a road trip that began in Baltimore Maryland and ended in Jacksonville Florida. We stopped in Tybee Island, Georgia at my Aunt Susie and Uncle Stewart's Bed and Breakfast for a couple of days. Jason had invited my parents to drive down from Chattanooga, Tennessee to join us. By this point in our relationship I had long given up on the fact that he was going to ask me to marry him, but he had a plan that I didn't know about.
Earlier in January of 2011 Jason and I had gone home to see my family in Tennessee and Jason asked my dad then if he could marry me, since I am a good southern girl and that is what you do there. So we went to dinner in Tybee with my parents and my aunt and uncle and he was going to ask me there in front of everybody but my dad and him decided that was not the right place. So we went back to the B&B after dinner and my Aunt Susie had made Jason a homemade southern key lime pie for his birthday. We were singing happy birthday and my mom was taking pictures and Jason looked at me and said "are you not going to take a picture of this?" I felt terrible and ran and got my camera. When I came back everyone had a slice of pie and mine had my great grandmother's ring in it. I recognized the ring immediately but was very confused. I knew right then what was happening. He asked me to marry him right in front of my mom, dad, aunt and uncle. It was so sweet. He knew I wanted my family to be a part of it.
Later I found out my dad and Jason had been planning it since January but my dad forgot to tell my mom to bring the ring. But my mom brought the ring just in case Jason asked her for it. So it all worked out and was meant to be!

Controlling the Database Server - MIMCONTROL
MIMCONTROL functionality is supplied on all platforms as a complete administration tool for managing database servers.
UNIX: The database servers on a UNIX node can be controlled using the mimadmin command (see the mimadmin man-page). This command invokes the MIMCONTROL program, and other programs, as required. The MIMCONTROL command can also be used directly under UNIX.
A database server on UNIX can be administered by the owner of it or by the superuser root. To change ownership of a database the mimdbfiles command is used (see the mimdbfiles man-page).
When a database server on a UNIX machine is started for the first time, MIMCONTROL will create a default multidefs file containing appropriate default parameter values, based on the amount of memory installed on the machine. Refer to The MULTIDEFS Parameter File for details.
VMS: The database servers for the local databases on an OpenVMS node are controlled by using the MIMCONTROL command directly (as described in this section).
When a database server on an OpenVMS machine is started for the first time, MIMCONTROL will create a default MULTIDEFS file containing appropriate default parameter values, based on the amount of memory installed on the machine. Refer to The MULTIDEFS Parameter File for details.
Win: When a local database is created on a Windows machine using the Mimer Administrator, appropriate default values are supplied for the parameters which control the database server and these can be adjusted later to fine tune server performance. On-line Windows help is provided with the Mimer Administrator.
The MIMCONTROL command can be used in a Command Prompt window on a Windows node to control local database servers.
Database servers accessible from a Windows NT node are controlled by using the Mimer Controller utility. Refer to the online Windows help provided with the Mimer Controller for further details. You must belong to the administrators group to control database servers.
It is also possible to use Windows NT commands NET START, NET STOP, etc. to control database server processes.
MIMCONTROL Syntax
MIMCONTROL is controlled by flagged information specified on the command-line.
The overall syntax for MIMCONTROL (expressed in UNIX-style) is:mimcontrol [-bcdekstwA] [-l chan] [database]
If MIMCONTROL is invoked without any options, it displays help options on the command-line.
MIMCONTROL Command-line Arguments
-b /STATUS/DCL Output status information about the specified database server as a single-line list suitable for use in a script.For details about the output string resulting from this option, see MIMCONTROL (/STATUS/DCL or -b). -c /STATUS Output status information about the specified database server.This option can be combined with the
-s option, see MIMCONTROL Examples.
-d /DISABLE Disable new user connections to the database server. Users already connected are not affected.This option can be combined with the
-s, -t and -w options, see MIMCONTROL Examples.
-e /ENABLE Enable new user connections to the database server. -k /KILL Kill the database server immediately. This should only be used in emergency situations when a normal stop using the -t option does not work.The next time the database is started, all databanks that were open at the time the server was killed will be automatically checked. Connected users will receive an error the next time they attempt to access the database. -l chan /LOGOUT=chan Force logout of the specified channel number.Use channel numbers displayed by the USERS option of the MIMINFO command, see The Users List. -s [timeout] /START [timeout] Start the database server.If the server does not become operational within the specified number of seconds, the server will be killed.Default timeout is 600 seconds.This option can be combined with the
-c and -d options, see MIMCONTROL Examples.
-t [timeout] /STOP [timeout] Stop a database server. Any remaining users will be logged out.If the server does not stop within the specified number of seconds, the server will be killed.The default timeout is 120 seconds. This option can be combined with the
-d and -w options, see MIMCONTROL Examples.
-w [timeout] /WAIT [timeout] Wait for all connected users to log out.If there are still users connected after the timeout period expires, the command fails.The timeout period should be given in seconds. If no timeout period is specified wait will be performed without any timeout.This option can be combined with the
-d and -t options, see MIMCONTROL Examples.
-A /DUMP Create a dump directory and produce dumps of all internal database server areas to files in that directory.The files produced can be examined by using the MIMINFO -f command, see System Information - MIMINFO. database database Specifies the name of the database to access.If a database name is not specified, the default database will be controlled.The default database is determined by the setting of the MIMER_DATABASE environment variable.The DEFAULT setting in SQLHOSTS is not used for MIMCONTROL.
MIMCONTROL (/STATUS/DCL or -b)
The mimcontrol -b (MIMCONTROL/STATUS/DCL) command is a special form of the mimcontrol -c (MIMCONTROL/STATUS) command which returns the database server status information in the form of a single string containing a comma-separated list which is useful when writing scripts.
UNIX: On UNIX, the string returned from mimcontrol -b can be piped and processed as required. The UNIX command cut can be used to extract the list elements, e.g. the following command which will print the second list element:
VMS: On OpenVMS, the MIMCONTROL command is silent and sets the DCL symbol MIMER_STATUS to the value of the status string.
Status String Components
The status string has the following components:server-state,logins,db-directory,connections,server-pid,start-date
Each component is described below:
server-state The server-state value shows the state of the database server. The value is one of: stopped, starting, running, stopping or crashing. logins The logins value is either: enabled, if new logins are permitted, or disabled, if the server has been ordered to reject new logins. db-directory The db-directory field shows the home directory for the database. connections The connections field shows the number of clients connected to the server. server-pid The server-pid field gives the process id of the database server process. start-date The start-date field gives the date and time when the database server was started.
Note: If the database server is not operational, the status string will contain only the first three fields.
MIMCONTROL Examples
The parameter options can be combined in the following ways, examples are given in both OpenVMS-style and UNIX-style:MIMCONTROL/START/DISABLE db_server_name mimcontrol -sd db_server_nameMIMCONTROL/START/STATUS db_server_name mimcontrol -sc db_server_nameMIMCONTROL/DISABLE/WAIT=180 db_server_name mimcontrol -dw 180 db_server_name
The exit code from the MIMCONTROL command is success if all users logged out within the three minute timeout period.
If the timeout period expires and there are still users logged in on the system, the MIMCONTROL command will exit with a warning status code.MIMCONTROL/WAIT/STOP db_server_name mimcontrol -wt db_server_name
When all users are logged out, the system will be stopped. If the wait timeout period expires, the MIMCONTROL command will exit with a warning status code without stopping the system.
- The following command is similar to the previous one, but will ensure that no new users log in to the system while waiting for all users to log out:MIMCONTROL/DISABLE/WAIT/STOP db_server_name mimcontrol -dwt db_server_name
MIMCONTROL Exit Codes
MIMCONTROL returns a status code to the environment executing the command. The status code can be examined by scripts.
The following return codes are used:
0 (success) 1 (success) This code is used when the MIMCONTROL command has executed all options with no problems. 1 (warning) 0 (warning) The warning code is used when there was a timeout in one of the options. The complete sequence of options may not have been executed. > 1 (error) 2 (error) The error code is used when the specified command could not be executed at all. For instance, if there was an illegal combination of options, or if the specified database name was not found.If an error status code is returned, an informational error message will also be produced.

Vol State students present musical "Spitfire Grill"
Submitted on February 08, 2010 at 11:55 AM
The popular movie became a critically acclaimed musical, and now "The Spitfire Grill" is coming to the stage at Volunteer State Community College. It's the story of a young woman who has just been released from prison. She starts her new life in a rural Wisconsin town where she finds small town suspicions, great challenges and heart-warming relationships.
John Simon with New York Magazine called the New York production: "Soulful and transcendent. It is not often that material moves me to tears, but this was one of those occasions. What even in normal times would be a joy is, in these troubled ones, sheer nourishment."
The Vol State Theater Department will present "The Spitfire Grill" on February 25, 26 and 27 at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium at Caudill Hall. Admission is a suggested donation of $5. For more information call 615-230-3545.
