This book has provided me many games that I could incorporate into my P.E. classes. This is very useful but I found the book to be too expensive especially since my budget is very low.

Comments On Jan 26, 2013:Heavy, great design. black wrinkle paint (looks extra nice) on control tubes. The frame attachment pinches the front tubes like a sandwich for a stout mount plus it bolts to the bumper frame holes. You have to trim the ears a little on the front plastic but when its done and summer comes around no one will see it and it will not interfere with anything. Hookup is as easy as driving up to plow, insert tabs in new frame hookup and pins in. Hook the winch up and your ready. I highly doubt you will find a plow that's this nice for the price! Now that I own it and see the quality of this product I would recommend this plow to everyone. I'm positive if you own a polaris RZR, you will feel the same as I do! (part#1321430014- 72"plow)

LOWELL, Mass. (AP) - A new national poll shows neither Wall Street nor Occupy Wall Street conjuring up strong favorable impressions among the American public.
But protesters fared better than their wealthy corporate targets in the poll conducted for the University of Massachusetts at Lowell and the Boston Herald.
Among 1,005 adults surveyed, 35 percent had a favorable impression of the protest movement that began in New York City and gained support worldwide. Only 16 percent could say the same for Wall Street and large corporations.
Twenty-nine percent had a favorable impression of the tea party movement and 21 percent for government in Washington.
The group surveyed was selected randomly and the poll conducted online from Oct. 28 through Nov. 1. It had a margin of error of 3.8 percentage points.

Tourism Leaders Meet in Japan
New York, NY, April 13, 2012: Cherry blossom has arrived, and spring has begun: Now Japan is ready for international attention as a host of major global summit meetings. From April 16, the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) gathers in Tokyo, one of the largest cities in the world with high-technological infrastructure and modern urban culture. During the 3-day sessions, the Council goes to Sendai, the tsunami affected city from last March, including excursions for all participants to visit the local tourism destinations that have been overshadowed since the last year's natural disaster. Japan is honored to host this year's WTTC with the obvious and timely focus on "tourism industry in turbulent times," which fits to the natural disaster survived city of Sendai, which reveals a surprising pace of recovery just within one year.
This year's WTTC also features Japan's rich culture and wide varieties of attractions: The speakers are invited from different fields such as internationally famed Japanese architect Tadao Ando, Fujio Cho of Toyota Motor Corporation, and many other tourism industry leaders from different countries. JNTO will take this year's WTTC as an opportunity to emphasize Japan's safety and cultural and technological advantage for business and leisure travelers as well as major international conferences. Over 1,000 delegates from tourism industries gather at the WTTC's annual summit to discuss tourism agendas. With non-stop cultural development, Japan is the perfect host country this year to showcase the substantial recovery from the unprecedented disaster and traditional hospitality and unique culture.
In the following week back in New York City, Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) is inviting some participants to report their first-hand experience of the conference to the industry groups. The panel event will feature exclusive videos and photos from the entire events, updates on global tourism agendas and opinions from international industry leaders, and report on substantial quality of recovery from the disaster and re-emerging tourism in Japan.

- Keep in mind that these policies are ultimately guidelines. If it's found that a policy restricts something that the reason the policy was created didn't intend to restrict, then the policy should be changed.
This is the policy for the image uploads.
General notes
Note that results of images breaking these policies depends on which part of the policy and severity of the case. For example one or two poor quality images being uploaded may just get tagged, but a large number of images that add more work for the other editors on the wiki may result in the user being blocked if they don't hold up on the uploads.
You may want to use the Special:Upload function to upload your images, this comes with a pre-set fair use rationale template which you need to fill in as best as possible and select an appropriate file name and licensing to go with the image.
If you are looking for certain images, try using ListFiles.
Re-uploading, by definition, is uploading a new file over an existing one on the wikia. In order to re-upload a new image over an existing one, you will need to navigate to the image details page. Towards the bottom of the page, the option to "Upload a new version of this file" will be located underneath the "File History" section. However, re-uploading should only be done under a few circumstances. Note, however, that there are circumstances where these guidelines may need to be circumvented, therefore, always leave as clear, and detailed a reason for re-uploading as possible.
- When you upload an entirely new image, do not overwrite any existing images. Always upload new images under a new file name. Uploading images over other images messes up the image page's history and makes it hard to discern between images with proper tagging, and images without tagging that were uploaded over top of images that had proper tagging, which results in an incorrect rationale being left on the page.
- Make use of the re-upload feature is when you are uploading a better quality image of the same image (same media, same episode/chapter, same scene/page, same basic frame of the episode/manga) on top of another. This of course does not hold for images uploaded under an entirely different file name, depicting a different point in the same scene.
- Images can be re-uploaded if one is of a poorer quality i.e the image is blurry, the ratio is off, black bars are present on the sides of the image, or overall, when re-uploaded, there's a drastic change in the image's appearance.
- Try not to re-upload images for unnecessary reasons such as one image being 720p vs. 1080p when there is little to no difference between the two images. The images are supposed to depict a character, scene, ability etc. there is no need to attempt to make every blade of grass in the image visible, no matter how pretty it is. This usually leads to unnecessary revert wars and unproductive time spent on the wikia.
- Infobox images are generally cropped for the simple reason that they look much better when "squared" in the infobox as opposed to being widescreen.
- Re-uploading with manga images are a bit different. Generally, English scans are the first to be uploaded, Japanese scans are generally re-uploaded over these followed by tankobōn images when released.
- This wikia has started placing templates onto images that are uploaded in 1080, 720p. The general instructions of these templates are to be followed, that is to say:
- An image initially uploaded in any of these formats should not be re-uploaded with an image of inferior quality.
- If it is a case where you have found an image that is better suited for the depiction of the situation or say an infobox image needs to be cropped, simply upload the image under a new file name or else save the image, crop, and re-upload under a new file name.
Image origins
We only allow official images to be uploaded. Images directly from the anime and manga should only be used. And of course game images for game stuff. However please do not upload a game image for use on a page about something that is also in the anime or manga.
Fan drawn images, fan colourings, and other images that have been edited (other than for simple resizing or cropping), will all be deleted unconditionally.
Image quality
For the most part, when an image is poor quality we just tag it with {{Poor quality}} till someone uploads an image to replace it. However there are some quality things, like .gif images, which we delete immediately. A short list of quality notes:
- Never upload .gif images, and don't bother converting a .gif into another file format before uploading. We do not need animations, and the .gif format does not handle quality properly. It has a limited colour depth, and as a result the moment you save an image with the .gif format it loses a large amount of quality. We also prefer .png images over .jpg images because .jpg images slowly lose quality each time you save them. Neither of these types of quality loss can be recovered without the original image.
- Use a good filename. We have {{Poor filename}} and {{Image naming}} for images uploaded with bad filenames. Do not use a semi-colon in the filename.
- If an image has been tagged with {{720p upload}} or {{1080p upload}}, then only images which have a width and height greater than that listed on those templates are permitted to be used as a reupload. If your image is less than the width/height listed on the template (excluding black bar cropping), your edit will just be reverted.
- Don't upload anything from Leafninja.com; Leafninja uses highly scaled down and poor quality images. While it works for them, we have a very good thumbnail handling system. Uploading anything below full quality reduces the quality of the thumbnails a bit, and it's also kind to use high quality images cause it means that if someone has an issue viewing the thumbnail they can click and view the full quality version themselves.
- Avoid widescreen shots. Widescreen images sometimes contain black bars, and more importantly the large width of the images disrupts the visibility of thumbnails by increasing the amount of empty space. It's best to clip the image down to what you are actually depicting.
- Avoid watermarks. If an image is watermarked by a TV Station, then we may just tag it with {{Poor quality|<watermark>}}. However if the image you upload is watermarked by another website we will likely delete it right away.
- Avoid subtitles and translations made by scanalation groups. When clipping from manga it's best to use the raws, and for anime either use the raw, or use a frame where there is no subtitle, or use a group that uses soft subtitles and formats like .mkv. Subtitles and the edits made by scanalation groups ruin the image, reduces its originality, and also incorporates a fuzzy copyright issue that technically makes those images illegal.
- If an anime image poorly represents a scene, a manga image should be used in its place if available. Also, coloured manga images without text, are preferable to anime images unless they disrupt the flow of the page.
- Some notes on Character Images:
- In the infobox: If there is a discrepancy between the manga image and anime image, then both a manga image and an anime image should be used. Otherwise an anime image alone suffices.
- Appearance Section: The primary image should be near flawless and show as much of the character in colour as possible, and if possible the image should be from the manga as it is the closest to the original concept of the author.
Legal tagging
See also: Help:Common image pages
- Any edit replacing a tagged image with a non-tagged image will be reverted.
Just a legal tangent.
- The copyright and rights to Naruto images ALWAYS remain with the creators of the series and their licensors, be that Kishimoto, Studio Pierrot, or Viz. So do understand that whether you get your images directly from a raw, scan them in yourself, capture them from a scanalation or fansub, or borrow them from another website, the copyright of those images always belongs to the creators of the series, despite whatever another site may say.
- That being said, it is always good to provide a link back to the original image when you note what your source of the image is.
- Also remember that these are about naruto series images. Images drawn by fans don't fall under the same category. However they have trademark issues as well as being very poor depictions of official things so they are not permitted anyways.
Now, for images we use on the wiki, we use images under fair use and fair dealing laws. These laws can protect a limited use of official images but there are restrictions, and to comply properly all images we upload should be tagged with proper fair use information and rationales.
To tag images make use of the {{Fair use}} and {{Fair use rationale}} templates. Also don't forget to add {{Image tags}} and then {{Characters in image}} and/or {{Jutsu in image}}. The old forum topic Forum:Fair use tagging tips... has some very helpful information for coming up with a fair use rationale. All images lacking these templates may be tagged for deletion using {{No license}} and {{No rationale}}. Also see Help:Common image pages for templates for tagging common types of images.
Understand that images used in articles always have preference to properly tagged images. This means that if you upload a image without a fair use rationale, and there is already an image that exists that does have a rationale, that other image will always be preferred even if it is of extremely poor quality and you uploaded one of good quality.
Under fair use laws it is better to use smaller portions of something. However we are only dealing with single frames of large videos. And small clippings out of manga. So as long as you clip manga images down to the actual thing you are trying to get an image of and don't upload videos, it's not something you need to worry about. In fact we prefer that images get uploaded with the highest quality you can get hold of. MediaWiki handles thumbnails on its own, so we don't need to worry about file sizes.
Also note that these images are only permitted for use in articles, you are not allowed to use fair use images in your userpage. Don't bother uploading personal images for your userpage as we don't allow fan images to be uploaded anyways. You are still free to upload most of the stuff you find on Wikimedia Commons and use it here.
Placement in articles
Only properly tagged images can be used in articles.
When placing an image inside of an article, never use px sizing. Instead use a
|thumb|right| or
|thumb|left|. Using px sizes overrides user preferences on the sizing of thumbnails and makes things inconsistent, so we avoid the use of it. The only exception to this rule is for special images locations and icons. Such as the icons in templates and images in infoboxes which require a specific size to be flush with the infobox. Do not place images inside paragraphs.
For infobox images, we always use an image depicting the first appearance of the character. Basically for Naruto Uzumaki we prefer a image of him in Part I, and for Madara Uchiha we prefer an image of him from flashbacks because that is the first appearance we see of him in the show.

Dear Editor:
Let's hear it for the Kingston High School Tiger Marching Band for taking first place at the state competition! This is a tremendous honor for the students, band director and the school they represent.
Many thousands of hours went into the performance put on by talented and devoted teenagers working towards a goal.
Appreciation also goes out to the music teachers throughout the Kingston school district for instilling a love for music. It takes a small army of volunteers, parents and friends to help achieve this goal. It takes everything from polishing shoes to chaperoning, feeding teens, treating blisters, altering uniforms and running fund-raisers, to mention a few.
A special thank you to each and every student involved for a spectacular accomplishment that we all can take pride in.
They also have been known to sing the Kingston High School Alma Mater!
JOHN and MARY TOMASESKI

50 U.S. Code § 2527 - Nuclear test ban readiness program
prev | next
(a) Establishment of program
The Secretary of Energy shall establish and support a program to assure that the United States is in a position to maintain the reliability, safety, and continued deterrent effect of its stockpile of existing nuclear weapons designs in the event that a low-threshold or comprehensive ban on nuclear explosives testing is negotiated and ratified within the framework agreed to by the United States and the Russian Federation.
(b) Purposes of program
The purposes of the program under subsection (a) shall be the following:
(1) To assure that the United States maintains a vigorous program of stockpile inspection and non-explosive testing so that, if a low-threshold or comprehensive test ban is entered into, the United States remains able to detect and identify potential problems in stockpile reliability and safety in existing designs of nuclear weapons.
(2) To assure that the specific materials, components, processes, and personnel needed for the remanufacture of existing nuclear weapons or the substitution of alternative nuclear warheads are available to support such remanufacture or substitution if such action becomes necessary in order to satisfy reliability and safety requirements under a low-threshold or comprehensive test ban agreement.
(3) To assure that a vigorous program of research in areas related to nuclear weapons science and engineering is supported so that, if a low-threshold or comprehensive test ban agreement is entered into, the United States is able to maintain a base of technical knowledge about nuclear weapons design and nuclear weapons effects.

Put Rosita vehicle trips in perspective
Roy Presley
At a public hearing on Nov. 30, the city council will consider approving the Final Environmental Impact Report for the swimming pool complex proposed for
Rosita Park. This report is of very serious concern to almost everyone living in the Rosita neighborhood and should be of concern to all residents of Los Altos. The report concludes that increasing the vehicle trips per day on Rosita Avenue to as high as 2,500 per day does not represent a significant impact upon the neighborhood.
If the city council does indeed approve an allowable 2,500 vehicle trips per day on Rosita Avenue, a residential street, then a precedent will have been established for any other residential street in Los Altos. Definition of the acceptable traffic level for residential streets is supposedly in the General Plan, but in fact it is buried in a background report and it is doubtful the council even knew of its contents when they approved the General Plan.
Public hearings to specifically establish allowable traffic levels on Los Altos streets have not been held. We should all ask ourselves, Is this what we want for Los Altos?
Let's put 2,500 vehicle trips per day in perspective. Over a 12-hour period, that averages out to a car passing a residence on a residential street every 17 seconds. With normal traffic flow, there would be long periods of time when residents could not pull out of their driveways. In the case of the swimming pool at the end of Rosita Avenue, there is a real possibility that lines of 100 or more cars will be trying to enter and exit the site at the same time. A line of 100 cars is about half a mile long. The congestion at intersections in a residential neighborhood will be significant, and perhaps a threat to public safety. Is this what we all want for our residential neighborhoods in Los Altos? If not, then we must all make our voices heard before the city council considers approving the Environmental Impact Report for the swimming pool complex at Rosita Park.
Thanks to Los Altos emergency personnel
Pat Christofferson
At 8 a.m. on Nov. 6, I called 911 because of a malfunctioning wall heater. I told the dispatcher that I didn't know whether it was an emergency or not, but the dispatcher asked, "Are you physically able to get out of the house?" I was, and she told me to get out of the house immediately and wait for help.
First on the scene was Officer Beveridge of the Los Altos Police Department. Shortly afterward, the firetruck arrived with three firemen. After they checked the heater, checked for gas leaks and pronounced everything OK, I started to apologize for having called 911. They told me, "Don't apologize. You did the right thing by calling us."
I have lived in Los Altos for 48 years, and I still love living here. We should all be grateful - I know I am - for the professional, efficient personnel who serve our community. Thanks, guys!
Problems with final Rosita EIR
Eric Lutkin
I am writing regarding the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the proposed aquatic center at Rosita Park that City Council will review on Nov. 30. I believe that Los Altos does need access to community swimming and hope that a compromise on location, size and operating conditions of a swimming pool can be reached. The current two-pool proposal is not right for either the immediate neighborhood or the city.
I see the following specific problems with the FEIR. First, it asserts that the proposed Rosita Park site is the best site for the proposed center.
I would maintain not only is Rosita Park not the best site but that none of the sites discussed on pages 294 and 295 (the two foldout pages of the report) are appropriate for such a complex. These two pages provide telling evidence of the unsuitability of any of these locations for such a complex in terms of the five criteria listed for selection (reasonable access, least impact on neighborhood, provide adequate parking, least net impact on park/area and meets present and future aquatic needs). None of the locations scores more than two "good" ratings, with the rest of the ratings being either fair or poor. The Rosita Park location scores particularly poorly, with only one "good," two "fair" and two "poor". The Hillview Community Center, among others, has better scores with two "good," two "fair" and one "poor."
I would also suggest that the apricot orchard at the civic center would be a more viable location for this complex. While it may sadden some to lose a small link to the agricultural past of the community the city council could convert this area to an alternative use with a simple vote.
Second, this decision would set a precedent that at least 2,260 car trips per day are acceptable on all residential streets in Los Altos.
The assertion of this report is that physical capacity will be a major determinant of the amount of traffic a street can bear. This report will establish a floor of 2,260 car trips per day for all residential streets in Los Altos. As other issues come before council the issue of traffic may become much less relevant unless total traffic exceeds 2,260 car trips per day, much to the consternation of people living on quiet residential streets.
Given these major problems I strongly urge the city not to proceed with this bad project for both the Rosita Park neighborhood and Los Altos.
Clarke's closes - a sad day
Clay and Gloria Buckley
It's a sad day in Los Altos. Clarke's Charcoal Broiler restaurant at Rancho Shopping Center has closed its doors due to bankruptcy. Another Los Altos dining place has gone out of business because of a lack of customers.
For years, we have dined there because of great food, charm and atmosphere for children of young parents and specials for seniors.
Clarke's was a meeting place for Sunday brunch after attending services across the expressway. I remember the summer luncheons under the umbrellas on the patio with lots of ice tea.
Clarke's participated in all the Rancho events, such as the pancake breakfast. We loved it and will miss it.

Distributing Joomla! templates
From Joomla! Documentation
How to choose a suitable license
If you want to distribute your extension, you will need to choose a license carefully. Read Extensions and GPL for more information.
If you want to publish your extension on the Joomla Extensions Directory, you will need to make sure your license is compatible. Make sure you've read the JED Entries License Checklist before choosing a license.
How does template installation work?
File structure for packaging
The most basic files, such as index.php, component.php, templateDetails.xml, template_thumbnail.png, favicon.ico, params.ini should be placed directly in your template folder. The most common is to place images, CSS files, JavaScript files etc in separate folders. Joomla override files must be placed in folders in the folder "html".
When making the template folder, your language files should be copied to your template folder. The ones for the front end site should be placed directly in the template folder. If you have language files for the back end, these should be placed in a folder, named for instance "admin". All the language files will be copied automatically to the right folders if stated correctly in the templateDetails.xml.
Creating a thumbnail preview image
<translate> A thumbnail preview image should be 206 pixels in width and 150 pixels high. Recommended file format is png.</translate>
<translate> You can take a screen shot of your site/template using the key "Prnt Scrn" on Windows or the corresponding on Mac/Linux. (There are also many programs specialized in screen shots that can be used.) After making the screen shot, paste or open the picture in an image editor such as PhotoShop or Gimp and resize and crop your image to 206x150 pixels. </translate>
Packaging the template for installation
<translate> A directory with several loose files is not a convenient package for distribution. So the final step is to make a package. This is a compressed archive containing the directory structure and all the files. The package can be in ZIP format (with a .zip extension), in TAR-gzip format (with a .tar.gz extension), or in TAR-bz2 format (with a .tar.bz2 extension).</translate>
<translate> If your template is in a directory mytemplate/ then to make the package you can connect to that directory and use commands like:</translate>
- tar cvvzf ../mytemplate.tar.gz *
- zip -r ..\mytemplate.zip *.*
Note to Mac OS X users
</translate> <translate> Note to template developers using Mac OS X systems: the Finder's "compress" menu item produces a usable ZIP format package, but with one catch. It stores the files in AppleDouble format, adding extra files with names beginning with "._". Thus it adds a file named "._templateDetails.xml", which Joomla 1.5.x can sometimes misinterpret. The symptom is an error message, "XML Parsing Error at 1:1. Error 4: Empty document". The workaround is to compress from the command line, and set a shell environment variable "COPYFILE_DISABLE" to "true" before using "compress" or "tar". See the AppleDouble article for more information.</translate>
<translate> To set an environment variable on a Mac, open a terminal window and type:</translate>
export COPYFILE_DISABLE=true
<translate> Then in the same terminal window, change directories into where your template files reside and issue the zip command. For instance, if your template files have been built in a folder in your personal directory called myTemplate, then you would do the following:</translate>
cd myTemplate zip -r myTemplate.zip *

New Year's Resolution: Reduce your Carbon FootprintWritten by Alterra Hetzel
In early 2011 Carbonfund.org made a resolution to decrease our internal carbon footprint as much as possible (and of course offsetting our remaining footprint with external carbon reduction projects). We moved into a virtual office environment, eliminating the emissions of our office heat, electricity, and server operations. By doing this we also eliminated commuting emissions, and anyone who lives in the DC area knows that this can mean hours in the car a day! Further, we shifted to electronic operations, now sending our certificates and tax receipts electronically to avoid the emissions associated with shipping. For businesses, reducing emissions and reducing costs go hand-in-hand and setting a corporate resolution to decrease your emissions makes good business sense! However, individuals can also take this time to make a personal resolution to reduce emissions too. Try something new this year by making a pact with the planet for a leaner and greener carbon footprint. Here's how: 1. Drive more efficiently or take transit: Depending on the size of your car, you could be reducing a ton or two or more of carbon dioxide a year by combining trips, mapping out your trip and opting for public transit when possible. You can also fit in aerobic exercise and enjoy the fresh air by walking or biking. 2. Ditch your old bulbs: Compact fluorescent light bulbs and light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs are available for more energy-efficient lighting, which reduces your carbon footprint by using one-third or less of the energy. A single bulb could save you around $40 or more over its lifetime. 3. Stop the junk mail: It's estimated that clearing forests for junk mail produces as much greenhouse gas emissions as 9 million cars. You can dramatically reduce your junk mail through the service of our nonprofit partner 41pounds, which will contact dozens of mailing companies to remove your name from lists, including catalogs you specify. The cost is $41 for you or a household for five years, and 41pounds will donate $15 to Carbonfund.org to support our carbon reduction efforts. Sign up now. 4. Eat fresh: When life gets hectic, it may be easy on you to rely mostly on prepackaged foods for meals, but it can take a toll on the environment. Start the new year with a resolution to plan some meals drawn from locally sourced food. Make this commitment easy by joining a farm co-op or getting local produce from your market. 5. Go carbon neutral: Make reducing your carbon footprint an integral part of your life by committing to reduce what you can and offset what you can't this year to support third-party validated projects that are reducing emissions globally. Check out Carbonfund.org's calculators to reduce your climate impact from your home, travel or business and consider going carbon neutral as a ZeroCarbon™ individual or family in support of our innovative projects. Check out these energy-saving tips for more ways to do your part for our environment in the new year. And have a Happy Sustainable New Year!

Tokyo Nightlife
The sheer diversity of nightlife in Tokyo is breathtaking. Rickety street stands sit yards away from luxury hotels, and wallet-crunching hostess clubs can be found next to cheap and raucous rock bars. Whatever your style, you'll find yourself in good company if you venture out after dark.
Most bars and clubs in the main entertainment districts have printed price lists, often in English.
Drinks generally cost ¥800–¥1,200, although some small exclusive bars and clubs will set you back a lot more. Be wary of establishments without visible price lists. Hostess clubs and small backstreet bars known as "snacks" or "pubs" can be particularly treacherous territory for the unprepared. That drink you've just ordered could set you back a reasonable ¥1,000; you might, on the other hand, have wandered unknowingly into a place that charges you ¥30,000 up front for a whole bottle—and slaps a ¥20,000 cover charge on top. If the bar has hostesses, it's often unclear what the companionship of one will cost you, but you can bet it will cost you a lot. Ignore the persuasive shills on the streets of Roppongi and Kabuki-cho, who will try to hook you into their establishment. There is, of course, plenty of safe ground: you'll find hotel lounges, jazz clubs, Irish-themed pubs, sake bars, and sedate retreats where the social lubricant flows past millions of tonsils nightly.
Major nightlife districts in Tokyo include Aoyama, Ginza, Roppongi, Shibuya, Shinbashi, and Shinjuku. Each has a unique atmosphere, clientele, and price level.

Theft of Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem
this wiki
|"Well, I think we should put it back in order for them, don't you?"
This article or section needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality.
|"Are you a wizard or not?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
- "I stole the diadem. I sought to make myself cleverer, more important than my mother. I ran away with it. My mother, they say, never admitted that the diadem was gone, but pretended that she had it still. She concealed her loss, my dreadful betrayal, even from the other founders of Hogwarts."
- —Helena Ravenclaw[src]
The theft of Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem took place in the Founders' time (in around the early 1000s). Helena Ravenclaw, the daughter of the Ravenclaw House's Founder Rowena Ravenclaw, was jealous of her mother's wisdom and fame. She wanted to be cleverer and more famous than her mother, so she stole her mother's Diadem and escaped. Rowena, who was badly ill, ordered the Baron, a bad-tempered man who loved Helena, to find her daughter. However, when the Baron found Helena in a forest at Albania, she refused to go back with him. The Baron killed her in rage. After seeing what he had done, remorseful of his action, he stabbed himself to death.
Background informationRowena Ravenclaw's Diadem (also known as the Lost Diadem of Ravenclaw) was the only known relic once belonging to Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Ravenclaw House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Etched upon its surface was Ravenclaw's famous quote: "Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure." It was said to enhance the wisdom of its wearer, which is Ravenclaw House's most treasured attribute. It has a blue sapphire shaped like an oval.
As Rowena Ravenclaw was a very intelligent woman, it is most likely she enchanted the diadem herself, putting a charm on the object to increase the wearer's intelligence.
The theft and attempted retrieval
- Helena Ravenclaw: "He tracked me to the forest where I was hiding. When I refused to return with him, he became violent. The baron was always a hot-tempered man. Furious at my refusal, jealous of my freedom, he stabbed me."
- Harry Potter: "The Baron? You mean —?"
- Helena Ravenclaw: "The Bloody Baron, yes. When he saw what he had done, he was overcome with remorse. He took the weapon that had claimed my life, and used it to kill himself. All these centuries later, he wears his chains as an act of penitence… as he should."
- — Helena Ravenclaw tells Harry Potter the story of her and the Baron's death.[src]
Helena Ravenclaw, Rowena's daughter, greatly envied the attention her mother received. She stole her mother's diadem, in hope of using its power to make herself wiser, and fled Hogwarts. Her mother fell fatally ill and in spite of Helena's betrayal, wanted to see her daughter one last time. Rowena sent the Bloody Baron, a man who once loved Helena, to find her.When he caught up with her in a forest in Albania (the same forest Lord Voldemort would use as a hiding place during his exile), she hid the diadem in a hollow tree. Upon her refusal to return with him, the Baron stabbed her in the anger and jealous (because Helena is free now); horrified by what he had just done, the Baron then stabbed himself as well.
They both transformed in the House Ghost after death. During a thousand years afterwards, loads of students asks "the Grey Lady" Helena Ravenclaw about where the diadem are because they want to get good marks in exams!
- "He defiled it! With Dark magic!"
- —The ghost of Helena Ravenclaw to Harry Potter[src]
Centuries later, Tom Marvolo Riddle managed to charm the story out of Helena's spirit, then known as the Grey Lady, ghost of the Ravenclaw house. Upon learning of the diadem's location, Riddle travelled to the Albanian forest shortly after he left school and acquired the diadem. He transformed it into his fifth Horcrux by killing an Albanian peasant, and later chose to return it to the very place it had originated from: Hogwarts.
Riddle was arrogant enough to believe that he alone had penetrated Hogwarts' most mysterious secrets, and thus he believed that only he had discovered the Room of Requirement, where he intended to hide the diadem. The Room's manifestation was none other than the "Room of Hidden Things" inside which Harry Potter would hide the Half-Blood Prince's copy of Advanced Potion-Making many decades later. Riddle chose to hide the diadem in this room the night he returned to the castle to request a position to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts. Unlike the other Horcruxes, Riddle did not put up heavy magical protections for the diadem, due to his lack of time to do so, along with his arrogance.
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Mentioned only)
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (Mentioned only)
Notes and references
- ↑ The Baron killed Helena after her seven years at Hogwarts, and given the earliest she could have started at the school is 993 (the year the school was founded), then the theft ought to have taken place by no earlier than 1000.

The Sims 3: Ambitions PC User Review

The Sims 3: Ambitions (PC) - 2 reviews
Super Gamer Dude
PC Games
You'll be delighted to know that a new expansion for the Sims 3 game is already here - The Sims 3: Ambitions. There are heart-breaking moments in this new game as the new expansion unfolds. Although the atmosphere and approach of the series did not change, there's a substantial change that brings improvement to the new expansion. The expansion provides a new and interesting aspect on how to chase their dreams and careers. It is definitely a wonderful and satisfying ride in this new expansion.
The main attraction of Sims 3 is in observing your Sims characters as you manipulate their lives with commands and instructions. First you create your Sims you character, then jump into a large town and proceed selecting the kind of life you want them to have.. You could control their actions except their work. However you could choose their careers and sometimes you have control over their activities, especially in meeting daily needs. It all comes down to your Sims leaving the house and doing everyday things. You can even receive a paycheck for work done by your character.
The new expansion has done changes in almost everything. It now gives the players the option of choosing a career or a profession. Careers options are still the same as they have always been since the initial Sims game but the professions enable the players to actively perform their Sims jobs in a participative manner. Professions available include doctor, private investigator, stylist, firefighter, designer and (my personal favorite) a ghost hunter. These additions make the game more fun to play. The inclusion of these new features engages the players to constantly give their attention to their Sims.
It's vital to really give attention to your Sims while doing his/her profession to enable you to create a more distinct and realistic story involving the lives of your Sims. The previous versions of Sims just focus on creating the life of your Sims; love life and jobs are just secondary as they are not given much importance in the gameplay. This time, you can directly control them. It gives you more freedom to get creative in controlling the lives and personalities of your Sims. It truly depicts a real life of a person in real-time whether it's a firefighter fighting to curb the flames when a house burns down or a doctor tending to and treating the sick.
The primary improvement in this new expansion is the way you interact and manage the lives of your Sims. The new expansion creates a deeper connection from your part directly to your Sims. The only negative part of having a profession is that they are more complicated than careers that were previously used in the earlier installments - which are just fine, as careers have already become passé. The creators are probably thinking along this line; thus add some more professions to make the game more revolutionized compared to its predecessors.
Another change brought by the expansion is the addition of potential choices on how to play the game. Presenting new traits, lifetime and wishes are also made available for the players in the new expansion. The new and cool additions include the hobbies of inventing and sculpting. You can let your Sims invent, create and sculpt anything you want. Your Sims can invent a new appliance system and can also sculpt a statue of yourself or other things. The introduction of the hobbies gives you even more opportunities to be imaginative in crafting the life of your Sims.
The Ambition expansion definitely stands out over other Sims expansions. It has produced considerable dynamic changes. It looks like this is going to be a trend in forthcoming Sims installments; and if that is so, then you can certainly look forward to it.

PC Games
The Sims 3: Ambitions for the PC opens a whole new world for players. Sims is a life simulation game which allows players to create 3D characters and give them certain characteristics and can to some degree be made to resemble yourself, someone you know or some completely new human being. these characters are then used in the game to mimic the lives of real people. They can have families, make friends, go to work or lounge around, or do any life task that humans can do. Ambitions is an expansion pack that presents additional features that The Sims 3 base game and the many other expansions do not have. These features, as the title suggests, are related to the luxuries of life that an up and coming Sim may aspire to and include such things as clothing, furniture and accessories. Also included are new skills and new customization for characters.
But Ambitions is not just about a better material life but also deals with work or vocational aspirations. Jobs or vocations that Ambitions offers include fireman, self employment businessman, doctor, fashion designer, private investigator, ghost hunter, architect etc.
This game lets you use data already saved from previous Sims, or your can create a brand new Sim. Players also get a new experience when it comes to visiting places in their town. In The Sims 3 base game players could only visit buildings but they could not always see inside whereas Ambitions now allows players to see what their Sim can do inside and can control them as normal while they go about the activity of working, shopping or playing etc.
All the new jobs offered here encourage the player's Sim to take an active part in that role. For instance, if a player's Sim is a detective, the Sim can stake out a house or lurk under the cover of bushes, take objects for evidence, and even break into another Sim's house. Each job includes new objects that are the usual tools of the trade. The new jobs also come with consequences that are the result of actions taken and so must think before they do things as the outcome may be disadvantageous to themselves or others.
Although the Sims 3 Ambitions expansion has a lot of extra and activity and content to offer existing Sims players it is not much use on its own, but then it is not really marketed as a stand alone because you need the basic Sims package loaded to make use of it.

MEETING DATE: May 9, 2011
FROM: Bill Wiley, AICP, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Ordinance for rezoning for Thomas Avenue, LLC from City CIP (Commercial/Industrial Planned) to City SPUD (Small Planned Unit Development)
PROJECT: To allow for additional commercial/light industrial and other uses (ex. Church)
Staff Recommendation:
The Planning staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed rezoning for the subject property from City CIP (Commercial/Industrial Planned) to SPUD (Small Planned Unit Development).
The project site is approximately 2.63 acres. The property is generally located on the east side of Thomas Ave south of Harlem Ave as shown on the attached General Location Map. The present zoning for this property is City CIP (Commercial/Industrial Planned). Currently, the property is a building trades and contractors business (plumbing) with contractor storage of equipment and materials. The proposed use is to continue the existing use and add light industrial and commercial uses including such uses as places of worship. The surrounding zoning of adjacent properties is City R-2 (Medium Density Residential) on the north and east, City M-1 (Industrial) on the west, and City M-1 (Industrial) and R-2 (Medium Density Residential) on the south. The existing Land Use designation for the subject property is City Industrial.
The proposed zoning district of City SPUD (Small Planned Unit Development) is compatible with the adjacent and nearby properties in the area.
The existing land uses surrounding the property are a vacant church property, multi-family residential, commercial/industrial uses, single family residential, and undeveloped.
The property currently has City utilities.
By a vote of 6 to 1 on April 21, 2011, the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval with changes to the staff recommendation regarding the painting of the required decorative wall to require painting only on the residential side of a light beige tone color to match ground sign and building garage doors. In addition, the commission also removed the requirement for a decorative wall caps. These changes were made based primarily on the cost to the owner in addition to the $90,000 that had already been spent on the wall (See changes Page 6).
1. Approve the proposed rezoning to City SPUD (Small Planned Unit Development) thereby allowing consistent zoning and development standards for this area.
2. Other such action as the Commission may deem appropriate.
Fiscal Impact:
A positive fiscal impact is will occur with the further development of this property.
