British Ministry of Magic
this wiki
- "The Ministry of Magic wishes you a pleasant day..."
- —The Welcome Witch's voice at the Ministry's headquarters.[src]
The Ministry of Magic (M.o.M.) is the main governing body of the magical community of Great Britain with the intention of preservation of magical law. The Ministry connects the British government to the wizarding world. The headquarters of the Ministry are in Whitehall,[1] in central London, deep underground.[2] It is headed by the Minister for Magic. The current Minister in Britain is Kingsley Shacklebolt.
The Ministry of Magic was formed as a successor to the earlier Wizards' Council and came into being sometime during the 1600s. It was involved in the International Confederation of Wizards' decision to create the Statute of Secrecy and still today takes the responsibility of enforcing said Statute. The laws against magic-use by underage wizards and against wand use by non-wizard folk are also enforced by the Ministry, in part to maintain secrecy.
Other countries, such as Norway, Germany, Bulgaria, etc.[3], have their own Ministries of Magic.
Early years
The Ministry of Magic succeeded the earlier Wizards' Council. It was founded in or prior to 1629.[4] In 1717, The Ministry classified the Imperius, Cruciatus & Avada Kedavra curses as The Unforgivable Curses, where use on another human being will command a life time sentence to Azkaban.
Shortly before Millicent Bagnold's retirement, many of the wizarding population wanted Albus Dumbledore to become Minister.[2] He was offered the job four times,[5] but turned it down, because of his previous negative experiences with power.
The most likely person to become Minister from that point on was Bartemius Crouch Sr., who had gained popularity from his purges of Death Eaters after the first fall of Lord Voldemort, including arresting his own son for participating in the Cruciatus Curse torture of Alice and Frank Longbottom.[6] However, he fell out of favour when people suspected that his son's actions and death in Azkaban were the result of Crouch neglecting his son and by not spending enough time at home due to his ministerial pursuits.[6]
Under Cornelius Fudge
- "He's not back!"
- —Cornelius Fudge, former Minister for Magic, denying the evidence of Lord Voldmort's return and growing power during Harry Potter's hearing.[src]
Cornelius Fudge was Minister for Magic during the events surrounding Lord Voldemort's second rise to power. He became Minister for Magic in 1990[7] and stayed on as Minster until being sacked in 1996. Early on in his administration he requested frequent help from wizards such as Albus Dumbledore, but he later became suspicious of Dumbledore and believed that he was trying to usurp Fudge's position.
In summer 1992, the Improper Use of Magic Office sent Harry Potter a letter of reprimand after the Malfoy family house-elf, Dobby, performed magic in an attempt to keep him away from Hogwarts. In early 1993, Fudge went to Hogwarts to send Hagrid to Azkaban on suspicion of opening the Chamber of Secrets, an accusation that had led to his expulsion from Hogwarts 50 years earlier. Hagrid was freed in June.
Convicted murderer Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban in summer 1993, leading to a massive Ministry manhunt. Severus Snape captured Black and turned him over to Fudge in June 1994, but Harry Potter and Hermione Granger helped him escape and made the Ministry a "laughingstock." [8]
Organizing the 1994-1995 Triwizard Tournament involved substantial efforts from the Department for International Magical Cooperation, the Department of Magical Games and Sports, and other parts of the Ministry. The Tournament concluded with the death of Cedric Diggory and the Rebirth of Lord Voldemort on 24 June, 1995. Fudge refused to believe Dumbledore and Harry Potter's accounts of these events, leading Dumbledore to re-activate the Order of the Phoenix to counter Voldemort.
- "Blatant corruption! The Ministry did not cut deals with petty criminals in my day, no sir, they did not!"
- —Dexter Fortescue after learning the Ministry's deal with criminal Willy Widdershins.[src]
After Voldemort's return, the Ministry campaigned to discredit Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter, as Fudge, his mind "twisted and warped by fear", refused to believe this horrifying possibility. This trend of attempting to minimize the immediate damage included the Ministry's attempts to get Harry drummed out of the Wizarding community, forcing teachers and oversight on Hogwarts, removing privileges from Albus Dumbledore and anyone who accepted his statement that Voldemort has returned, and encouraging the Daily Prophet to publish stories denigrating Dumbledore and Harry. On 12 August, Harry Potter was summoned to a disciplinary hearing at the Ministry, pertaining to what the Ministry termed "offences committed under the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery and the International Statute of Secrecy". The hearing was changed to a full court trial, which was unorthodox and was outside the context of the law, in a biased attempt to further discredit Harry.[9]
Ministry activities ended up having to include concealing the reason for the mass breakout from Azkaban, as the Ministry could not explain, or justify, the defection of the Dementors. Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters tried to retrieve a a specific prophecy pertaining to Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort from the Hall of Prophecy on Level Nine, the Department of Mysteries. In order to do that, they placed both Broderick Bode[10] and Sturgis Podmore[11] under the Imperius Curse, to no avail, as only Harry could take it from its shelf.
Shortly after midnight on 18 June, 1996, the Death Eaters managed to lure Harry Potter and Dumbledore's Army into the deserted Ministry. The Order of the Phoenix went to rescue them, and a battle ensued which included a duel between Voldemort and Dumbledore themselves in the Atrium of the Ministry.[12] After the battle, Fudge and several other witnesses saw Voldemort with their own eyes, and this position of denial became untenable. Thus, the Ministry was forced to acknowledge the return of the Dark Lord and Fudge was unceremoniously replaced by Rufus Scrimgeour, although he was allowed to aid in an 'advisory capacity'.[13]
Under Rufus Scrimgeour
- "Maybe the Ministry should put some people onto that, instead of wasting their time stripping down Deluminators or covering up breakouts from Azkaban...People are dying – I was nearly one of them – Voldemort chased me across three counties, he killed Mad-Eye Moody, but there's no word about any of that from the Ministry, has there? And you still expect us to cooperate with you!"
- —Harry Potter.[src]
In response to the war situation the country was facing, Rufus Scrimgeour, the previous Head of the Auror Office, was appointed Fudge's successor in the summer of 1996, and was responsible for the creation of several new bureaucracy, such as Office for the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Objects.[14]
Despite this, unfortunately, Scrimgeour did not fare much better than Fudge. Again reacting to public opinion, Scrimgeour tried desperately to make the Ministry look like it was making progress, despite the reality being to the contrary, such as by wrongfully imprisoning Stan Shunpike. Harry had two meetings with Scrimgeour, in which Harry's co-operation with the Ministry was solicited for his propaganda value: the Ministry wanted Harry to be the "poster child" for the Ministry so as to give the public hope, by telling them that the Ministry remained a source of safety, strength and that "The Chosen One" endorsed the Ministry's investigations. Harry turned Scrimgeour down flat both times.
In the summer of the next year, shortly after Albus Dumbledore's murder, the Atrium at the Ministry was the setting for a speech by Scrimgeour about the "dark times" in which the wizarding world was living, and how the Ministry remained "strong" and active in the fight against the dark forces.[15] In the meantime, the Death Eaters were managing to infiltrate the Ministry by magically controlling some of the its higher-ranking officials.[16] As a result, later in the summer, on the evening of 1 August, 1997, the Ministry was the stage of a silent coup, during which Scrimgeour was murdered[17] while refusing to give the Death Eaters any information on Harry Potter.[18]
Under Pius Thicknesse
- "You have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide"
- —Pius Thicknesse speaking on the Ministry of Magic's new stance on Muggle-borns, Harry Potter, and members of the Order of the Phoenix.[src]
After the Death Eater coup, the Ministry of Magic was headed by Pius Thicknesse, who was under Death Eater control by means of the Imperius Curse; Voldemort chose not to openly reveal himself as Minister, in order to keep an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty within the community. Much more security was added to the building. In addition, employees were now forced to go to work via a toilet network,[19] accessible inside a set of underground public toilets in Whitehall.[19]
Under Thicknesse's control, the Ministry became totalitarian, placing surveillance upon those it was suspicious of, such as Arthur Weasley, and creating the Muggle-Born Registration Commission to prosecute Muggle-borns for allegedly stealing magic. The Ministry also acquired the motto 'Magic is Might' which was inscribed upon a sculpture with a witch and wizard sitting on thrones made of Muggles.[20] Death Eaters such as Yaxley gained high positions within the Ministry as well.
After the Battle of Hogwarts
In 1998, after the destruction of Lord Voldemort and the end of the Second Wizarding War, Kingsley Shacklebolt became Minister for Magic and led a massive reform of the Ministry.[21] This included the efforts of Harry Potter and Ron Weasley in the Auror Office, and Hermione Granger advancing the rights of non-humans, and eradicating pro-pure-blood laws in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and later the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.[22]
Government structure
The Ministry's employees are largely unelected, but the Minister for Magic is elected by an unknown group.[2] Employment with the Ministry can be obtained directly upon completion of a wizarding education,[23] although different offices require different levels of education and sometimes specific exam results. Both the Minister and the Ministry as a whole are seen to be sensitive to wizard public opinion, which they attempt to influence via the wizarding newspaper the Daily Prophet.[2]
Minister for Magic
The Minister for Magic is the elected leader of the Ministry. The Minister and Support Staff occupy Level One of the Ministry. During the puppet regime set up by Lord Voldemort in 1997-1998, this level also housed the office of the Head of the Muggle-Born Registration Commission.
It includes these offices:
- Office of the Minister for Magic
- Office of the Advisor to the Minister for Magic
- Office of the Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic
- Office of the Junior Assistant to the Minister for Magic
The Ministry has seven departments in all, each dealing with different aspects of the wizarding world, with the Department of Magical Law Enforcement being the largest and all others more or less answering to it (except the Department of Mysteries).
Each Department has a level of Ministry Headquarters assigned to it, although Law Enforcement has not only level two but also the courtrooms of level ten. There are also many minor offices within the departments. The departments communicate through "interdepartmental memos" written on pale-violet paper aeroplanes, which fly on their own to destinations. The known departments and their offices are the following:

Should any such creature cause harm to, or draw the notice of, the Muggle community, that nation's wizarding governing body will be subject to discipline by the International Confederation of Wizards."
- —Clause 73 of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy.[src]

- Kingsley Shacklebolt (2 May, 1998—?)
The current Minister, Kingsley Shacklebolt, replaced Voldemort's puppet, Pius Thicknesse, who had been placed under the Imperius Curse and put in power after Voldemort killed Scrimgeour, who had replaced Fudge.
Albus Dumbledore was offered the job of Minister and refused it at least four times. In his latter days at Hogwarts, Tom Riddle was widely predicted to become Minister due to his intelligence, magical talent, and ability to forge alliances with the people around him, and to gather followers to serve his interests. Riddle, however, refused all offers of assistance to find work at the Ministry.

Muggle relations
The Ministry keeps in touch with the Muggle Prime Minister of the United Kingdom through the help of a portrait in the Downing Street office.[13] The portrait is fixed to the wall with a Permanent Sticking Charm so no Muggles will be able to remove it, and the subject of the painting will notify the Prime Minister of Muggles of the Minister for Magic's impending arrivals.[HP6] The British Crown, including the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the Monarch, are in full knowledge of the Ministry. Each new Muggle Prime Minister receives a visit from the Minister for Magic, who informs him or her that the wizarding world exists. He explains that he will contact the Prime Minister only in circumstances in which the events of the wizard world may affect Muggles. For example, the Minister has to inform the Prime Minister if dangerous magical artefacts or animals are to be brought into the U.K.
The Ministry keeps in touch with the British Prime Minister via a wizard's portrait in the Prime Minister's office at 10 Downing Street. The portrait, which cannot be removed from the wall (because of a Permanent Sticking Charm in place), notifies the Prime Minister of the Minister for Magic's arrival. The Ministers for Magic Cornelius Fudge and Rufus Scrimgeour tend to act in a somewhat patronising manner towards the Muggle Prime Minister.
However, after the Fall of the Ministry of Magic into the hands of Lord Voldemort and Pius Thicknesse became minister as Voldemort's puppet, a new era of Wizard-Muggle relations was brought on that was more in line with Death Eater ideology. These actions included the instalment of the "Magic is Might" statue in the Ministry Atrium to replace the Fountain of Magical Brethren, which depicts a witch and wizard on top of a throne made from the bodies of crude-looking Muggles.
While prejudiced depictions of Muggles were taught by professors Amycus and Alecto Carrow at Hogwarts School under its new headmaster, Severus Snape, the Ministry began claiming that Muggle-borns "stole" their magic from "real" witches and wizards. The Muggle-Born Registration Commission, headed by Dolores Umbridge, was set up to persecute and imprison Muggle-borns. Furthermore, the Snatchers organisation was formed in an attempt to round up any Muggle-borns or blood traitors on the run. People with known connections to the Order of the Phoenix or sympathies for Muggles, such as Arthur Weasley, were put under surveillance, and a reward for the capture of Harry Potter, known to the Ministry as "Undesirable No. 1", was offered.
Presumably, after Voldemort's defeat and Kingsley Shacklebolt's installation of Minister for Magic, the cruel, prejudiced measures imposed under the Death Eater regime towards Muggles (such as the Muggle-Born Registration Commission) were abolished and the Ministry went on communicating with the Muggle Prime Minister when necessary.
The magical government sometimes has given the impression of, at various times, either incompetence or malice, which are demonstrated by successful break-outs from Azkaban and the Campaign to Discredit Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter, respectively. The Ministry has been known to be corrupt in nature, as it is shown to be quite prepared to decree and enforce draconian laws without notice, and seem uninterested in solving serious problems, choosing instead to ignore or cover up bad news.
- Dolores Umbridge: "I have testimony from Willy Widdershins, Minerva, who happened to be in the bar at the time. He was heavily bandaged, it is true, but his hearing was quite unimpaired. He heard every word Potter said and hastened straight to the school to report to me--"
- Minerva McGonagall: "Oh, so that's why he wasn't prosecuted for setting up all those regurgitating toilets! What an interesting insight into our justice system!"
- Fortescue: "Blatant corruption! The Ministry did not cut deals with petty criminals in my day, no sir, they did not!"
- — Dolores Umbridge, Minerva McGonagall, and the portrait of Dexter Fortescue discussing the Ministry's actions about Willy Widdershins.[src]
Rufus became as bad as Crouch Sr, making scape goats locking the wrong people in Azkaban such as Stan Shunpike, to try and make it look like the Ministry was doing a good job. When he asked Harry to be a mascot so that the public would support them, Harry refused because he knew it was still corrupt.
After the Fall of the Ministry of Magic, the entire Ministry was under Voldemort and doing his bidding under the puppet government headed by Pius Thicknesse. The various laws implemented in this regime included in the persecution and harassment of Muggle-borns and Muggles and propaganda suggesting the inferiority of Muggles and how they should be treated as sub-humans by wizards. However, after Lord Voldemort's fall and Kingsley Shacklebolt being appointed minister, Harry, Ron, and Hermione work for the Ministry and change it in ways to make it drastically less corrupt.

Azania bank Limited has donated body lotions to the Albino Society of Tanzania to help them overcome the challenge of sun burns.
Speaking before handing over the donation to the society in Dar es Salaam yesterday, a director with the bank Godwin Seiya, said the donation worth 3m/- would help to reach albinos who cannot afford to buy the lotion.
He said by recognising the challenges and difficulties people with albinism face, the bank has donated special lotion which will help them to protect their skins from being damaged by direct sunlight.
He noted that the support is in respect to the Seventh Tanzania Albino Day celebrations which started on Wednesday and end today being held at the national level in Lindi municipality.
"We urge other citizens, organisations and companies in Tanzania to use part of their profits to help fellow citizens and communities with problems and challenges," he said.
For her part, Treasurer of Tanzania Albino Society Hellen Machibya, challenged other organisations in the country to imitate the bank's gesture by showing readiness to assist people with albinism.
"I thank the Azania Bank management for this positive gesture towards people with albinism by setting aside part of their profits to assist us," she said.
Machibya said her society is facing the challenge of serving a large number of members who cannot afford buying lotion because of their economic problems.
She also urged the government to consider revising the tax law, and if possible wave tax on those special lotions so as to make them afforded by many albinos.
"The price of these sun lotions is too high for many albinos in Tanzania given their economic status.
At the moment a single piece of the lotion is sold at 35,000/, the price they believe not many can afford, she noted.

This week, join Robert Bellinger and Lierin Rossman, attorneys with The Bellinger Law Office as they discuss children born out of wedlock and the process individuals need to go through in order to establish a child support order and a visitation order.

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - After the teams traded lopsided wins, the third
installment of this four-game set between Boston and Cleveland was a much
tighter affair.
The Red Sox rallied with four two-out runs in the bottom of the eighth inning
to beat the Indians, 7-4, on a rainy day at Fenway Park.
Cleveland reliever Vinnie Pestano (1-1) gave up three doubles in the decisive
frame, with a pinch-hitting Mike Carp tying the game and scoring the go-ahead
run on Dustin Pedroia's shot off the Green Monster.
After the next two batters were walked, one intentionally, the Red Sox scored
two more runs when the Indians misplayed a Daniel Nava pop up to shallow left
Andrew Bailey closed the door in the ninth for his sixth save of the season.
Boston's comeback made a winner out of Junichi Tazawa (4-2), who was flawless
in the top of the eighth.

The Contender is a modern pickup truck in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V and is manufactured by Vapid.
DesignThe truck has styling very reminiscent of the third generation Ford SVT Lightning concept, most noticeably in the front bumper, grille (in shape, not including the split grille), hood, and back end; the color varieties it appears in are like most modern Ford F-150s though. It has a Chevy-like, horizontally-split grille and headlights that are similar to the 2007 Chevrolet Avalanche. The Supercharged 5.7L V8 engine, is also similar to the Lightning concept but with a larger displacement V8 (the Lightning had a 5.4L V8). The Contender comes with a variety of bed modifications. Despite those, the Conender still loosely resembles the Nissan Titan, Toyota Tacoma, and Dodge Ram 1500.
Despite having a 5.7 liter supercharged V8 engine, the Contender only develops 305HP thus it's acceleration and top speed are unimpressive (159 mph) , and can be equally matched by the Bobcat but the top speed is higher. On the bright side though, the Contender is impressively durable with collisions and gunfire. Handling is below average with the truck feeling heavy, and understeering around corners. Despite it being a pickup, it isn't good off road, since the truck has 2WD, and the suspension is firm and doesn't have enough ground clearance.
A green "Supercharged" Contender driven by the Irish Mob can be found in Steinway. It has huge chrome brush guards, four fog lights atop of chrome roll bars, and sports a special green color. Its speed and acceleration have increased a very small amount from the supercharger being added.
A Contender is also requested as part of Stevie's Car Thefts, appearing with a dark grey body color. As a new Contender will respawn at the same spot until the player delivers one to S&M Auto Sales, the player can save one at their safehouse before delivering another. The maximum amount of money you can obtain from delivering the Contender to Stevie is $8,250.
Bucky Sligo drives a slightly modified Contender. It sports a tonneau cover and a unique dark green-to-black color-shift paintjob. Once the player chases Bucky to his hideout, his Contender can be taken and stored at a safehouse. The color cannot be obtained from a Pay 'n' Spray.
GTA Chinatown Wars
Advertising for the Contender appears in Chinatown Wars.
|This article concerns a game that is unreleased.
Some details may be speculative, and may turn out to be incorrect.
A possible Contender was seen in Trailer 1, however this is unconfirmed.
- The McReary mob variant can be found around Steinway.
- Is usually seen in Star Junction, Fishmarket North, Fishmarket South and The Triangle, Algonquin.
- The one requested by Stevie can be found in the Twitchin' Sugar factory compound on Creek Street, in BOABO, Broker.
Grand Theft Auto V
- In the BradyGames guide, the Contender is occasionally referred to as the E109, though the game never calls it the E109. In the game's files, however, the model for the Contender is called E109. It hints that it is a beta name for the Contender.
- In a car commercial on CNT (Sully's Auto Mart), a white Contender is referred to as the EXT, which could be another beta name for the truck.
- In GTA IV, after collecting all thirty cars for Stevie he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Contender fetching $2,500.
- The Contender doesn't have any white reverse lights. No number plates either, although there seems to be room for one in the back.
- The default radio station in the Contender is Liberty Rock Radio 97.8.
- The Truck also appears as an Undrivable prop in Brucie's Garage and Stevie's garage, However, further inspection shows the truck to be, if not noticeable smaller than the current model, and further notice is a smaller Rollbar as seen on the "Supercharged" variant, yet scaled smaller.
- If the player attempts to climb into the rear cargo compartment while the vehicle is in motion, the player will just lose the balance and fall. If the player is lucky enough, they will fall on to the road. Otherwise, they will fall over in the cargo compartment and become stuck while their health gradually reduces, eventually getting Wasted.
- The slogan "Built to rule" appearing on the billboards is a play on Ford's slogan "Built tough" which is used for their F-series. This is even more obvious knowing that Vapid, the brand constructing the Contender, is the Grand Theft Auto IV parody of Ford
- The Contender may possibly be in GTA V, but it has had a new design instead of the GTA IV design.

The impressive collection of the Ägyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung (Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection) is on display at the Neues Museum. It encompasses masterpieces from different eras of ancient Egypt: from ornate statues, colourful reliefs, exquisite craftwork and delicate papyri to stone sarcophagi weighing several tonnes and examples of monumental Egyptian architecture. The collection is a testament to the accomplishments of the period between 3000 BCE and the beginnings of the Roman Empire. Perhaps best known for the world-renowned bust of Queen Nefertiti, whose paint work has survived without restoration since the Amarna period, other highlights of the exhibition include a series of exceptional portrait busts of the royal family and members of the court. One of the most important works from the late Egyptian period is the expressive 'Berlin Green Head' named after the colour of its stone.
The Ägyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung showcases its unique objects at the Neues Museum on the Museumsinsel Berlin.

Taking care of Fido requires real training
Submitted on January 04, 2010 at 9:57 AM
Berlin is being a good girl as the vet wraps her paw in a bandage and tape. Luckily, there is no injury here. The six month-old dog is a helpful assistant in a Volunteer State Community College class. The students look on as the vet shows them the proper way to finish the bandaging. Then it's their turn. It's part of a lab session in the new Animal Care Technology program at Vol State.
"I've always been drawn to animals," said student Janet Chambers of Hartsville. "I've been out of work for two years. This caught my eye and I thought - I can get a job with that."
The demand is strong for licensed Veterinary Technicians. "There's a huge need," said Veterinarian and Vol State instructor Dr. Mary Ergen. "I would love to have four licensed technicians at my practice. I'd hire them if I could get them."
Vol State offers a one-year certificate program. The college is applying for approval to offer a two-year associate's degree for veterinary technicians. The current certificate classes are expected to carry over to the degree program. Students gain a science background that builds a foundation of knowledge about biology and anatomy. Needless to say it's the hands-on work with animals that they seem to enjoy the most.
"They just need someone to speak for them," said student Tammy Costa of Greenbrier. "I've been around animals my whole life. I love them all- exotic and fuzzy. This program has opened us up to all the different things we can do with animals."
"This is a skill based occupation that requires hands on experience," said Dr. Doug Shaw, the director of the Vol State program. "We also help students build the knowledge they need for the board exams. The students need a license to get jobs, and they have to pass those state and national exams."
In addition to Dr. Shaw and Dr. Ergen, Dr. Elinor Grubbs will also be teaching courses. She started her career as a vet tech student and continued her education to become a practicing veterinarian.
Once licensed, vet techs can get additional training to specialize in areas like oncology, critical care, dentistry and zoo keeping.
"It's rewarding when you take a sick animal and make them better," Dr. Ergen said. "But they're not going to come to me and ask for help. We have to have the skills to help them."
For more information about the Animal Care certificate program at Vol State visit www.volstate.edu/AnimalCare or call 615-230-3261.

The E-M5 jpegs are better than than the D5200 jpegs in the comparison tool.
I am skeptical that the D5200 can do as well as any m43 camera. Since you are "sure", here is how you can prove it: 1) Download the D5200 raw samples from the comparison tool, 2) make whatever adjustments you would like in Photoshop, documenting the steps so that people can repeat what you did and verify the results, and 3) post the improved jpegs from the D5200, showing that they are better than what you can get out of the E-M5 at stock settings.
That would end all argument, wouldn't it?

"Playboy" is offering Amanda Bynes her own radio show. Sources say the company is willing to provide Amanda with a driver to take her to work as well as her very own producer to handle the show's logistics. On her Nickelodeon show "All That" she used to give crazy advice to fans on her sketch "Ask Ashley." But she says she can't do it because she's recording her album. She's an aspiring rap artist, remember?
Jennifer Love Hewitt and her boyfriend, Brian Hallisay, are expecting. He plays her no-good husband on "The Client List". They've been dating a little over a year, and sources say Jennifer is about three months along. By the way, Kate Winslet is pregnant for the third time. This will be her third baby with her third baby daddy. The daddy is a British dude who goes by the name Ned Rocknroll. No lie, he's the of billionaire Richard Branson. Kate already has two kids, one from each of her previous marriages.
During a gig the other night in Istanbul, Turkey, Rihanna gave the crowd a little bit more than they asked for. Namely, her vajayjay. Rihanna's shorts were so short, there was little room for them to move. So when they did, part of her naughty business popped right out, for all to see. Hooray!
Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries are finally divorced. It became official 581 days after Kim filed. Details of the settlement were not disclosed, but they had a prenup, so Kim's fortune was pretty well protected. But that brings up the question - will she and Kanye West get married before baby girl arrives mid-July?

Kristen Stewart is not always known for making the best fashion statement, but at the London premiere of her new film "Snow White and the Huntsman," she proved she does clean up alright. The young actress was stunning in an intricate black lace and sheer floor-length gown.
Stewart played up the dramatic gown with equally as bold cosmetics. The "Twilight" actress opted for a metallic copper lip color in a lip gloss finish and applied a touch of peach-toned bronzer on her cheekbones using makeup brushes. The eye makeup worn by the star was where the drama really began. Stewart rimmed her upper and lower lids with jet black eyeliner and she smudged the product out past her brow lines using a blending brush for a smokey style. She then applied metallic silver eyeshadow on her upper lids followed by a smokey gray shade up to her brow lines.
The standout makeup worked well with the high-fashion gown. The long-sleeved dress had lace detailing on the bodice as well as on the inside of the sleeves. The outer portion of the sleeves and the neckline of the dress were made of sheer fabric. Shortly past her hips, the dress went out into a black lace skirt - exposing her legs underneath.

The 'here we go again' relevance for Black America
Young journalists stepped forward to warn again how we continue to lose our government to growing "Big Brother." Thirty-year-old document leaker Edward J. Snowden has fled to a secret place. And 33-year-old journalist Michael Hastings was killed in a fiery auto crash in Los Angeles June 18, 2013. They have shocked the nation by exposing the extent of the secret crypt of America's intelligence network's surveillance abuse of American citizens. Black America is not shocked. It's been part and parcel of our lives ever since the first Black foot stepped off the boat in Virginia, on through failed Reconstruction, Jim Crow, the 1920's, on through to today, blocking our access and freedoms.
We especially remember the surveillance of Martin Luther King, Jr. and other civil rights leaders. Continue Reading →

In early Runes of Magic there was an event where an event robbed a bank. It was supposed to despawn before it died, but there was a rogue ability that made everything crit for 10 seconds(10 min cd). I was able to kill it with that ability and completely bug the event. The banker (that despawned during the event) was gone until they patched the servers a few days later.

Building doghouses for 20 PLUS years has been a learning experience for us; the most important lesson learned - listen to the customers. They relayed to us that they desired a system with a better warranty and a longer life. Some wanted A/C only, some wanted heat only and some desired both. There are geographical areas that have extremely hot climates and the "huge" doghouses seemed to need a little more btu(s) during those 100 (plus) degree days (TX, AZ, CA, FL).
We investigated many different products and manufacturers and have chosen a 5,200 btu unit that meets all of the requirements. We have tested and adapted it to fit our houses from the large to the goliath and it performed flawlessly. If someone requests the need for heat, we also provide a full line of heated dog house pads for all sizes in our dog house line. And an electric heater.
Our Blythe Wood Works Dog Aire(TM) system can be installed by the customer in less than two (2) minutes. There are no hoses, clamps or holes to be bored. We totally prepare the house for our customer at no extra charge.
If you are considering a Blythe Wood Works Dog Air™ air conditioning system, please consider the upgrade Seal Safe™ pet house door (especially with multiple dogs). The Dog Aire™ will run more efficiently and the savings in electrical usage will pay for the Seal Safe™ door in less than two years.

Comments On Sep 07, 2011:I bought this item to integrate with my leatt neck brace which it does fairly well. The tabs that hold the neck brace to the "roost Deflector" will give way soon. they could be beefed up for sure. as for overall protection it is only a roost deflector. I was hoping for more coverage in the shoulder area. Im a woods rider so my upper arm is prone to taking hits from trees and branches. which it has multiple times, also the upper arm guards are some what useless in terms of protection. I have taken a number of falls with this protector on and its held up, but im still apprehensive about the overall protection.On the good side it fits well is snug and very light.It does not feel cumbersome when riding.

More charges have been filed against a man recently arrested for sexually assaulting a child after more potential victims surfaced.
Police in Parker said more alleged victims have talked to detectives after CBS4 reported that Corrin Cleveland had been arrested last week.
Police have not said how many more victims or where the alleged assaults took place but do confirm that Cleveland is facing additional child abuse charges.
"It's more and more and it's sickening to think there are more charges against this man," said Parker resident Eric Jacobson.
Police arrested Cleveland, 19, last week after two boys came forward. The boys said Cleveland touched one of them inappropriately and then touched himself in the men's locker room at the Parker Recreation Center on Nov. 6.
Rec center staff were able to get a license plate number that helped police track down Cleveland. The rec center is located at 17301 E. Lincoln Ave. in Parker.
"Just thinking, 'Wow, I was in the locker room.' Who knows, maybe he was in there when I was here and again, it's just dumbfounding," said Jacobson.
"It's very, very scary. It's very frightening," said Parker resident Becky Jacobson. "We feel safe in our community and now suddenly we don't."
Because Cleveland was a juvenile when he registered as a sex offender, his name was never released to the public.
"Just make sure the children are informed by their parents and they should report it to authorities and not feel embarrassed about it," said Parker resident Bob McMaster.
Police fear that even though more alleged victims have come forward there may be even more out there who haven't.
Cleveland remains in jail on a $75,000 bond.

Brooksville, Florida -- The Hernando Sheriff's Office was inundated with angry calls and e-mails after we reported criminal charges wouldn't be filed against a company which cleaned out and trashed a man's home.
After our first story, the sheriff's office re-opened the case, but is now sticking to its guns.
Two weeks ago, Chris Boudreau told 10 News he wanted to get his stuff back after his mortgage company, 21 Mortgage Corporation in Knoxville, hired a local contractor to clean out his Brooksville home because he had stopped making payments.
Photos: Man's home trashed by mortgage company
But Detective Dustin Mormando says the SO's investigation pretty much contradicted what he was reporting.
Mormando says Boudreau had abandoned the property when the mortgage company hired the contractor to clean out the home. However, there was a major problem: the mortgage company hadn't filed foreclosure papers.
Because the proper foreclosure papers had not been filed, 21 Mortgage really had no right to hire a contractor to go onto Boudreau's property and clean it up. But the sheriff's office says it couldn't file criminal charges, because the local contractor had no idea there was any problem with the paperwork.
"There was no criminal intent," Mormando says. "It's not up to them to verify the mortgage company filed the proper paperwork." He says the contractors are in a business relationship with this mortgage company, who've given them jobs for years.
The sheriff's department can't get involved, because as Mormando explains, there are no arrestable offenses committed.
Boudreau's only recourse is a civil suit against the mortgage company.

Excellent bike rack for cruiser bikes
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I was looking for a Bike rack that could securely carry two Cruizer bikes. The bikes have fenders and not all bike racks would work properly with them.
this Rack is robust, well finished, fits perfectly on the hitch, makes absolutely no noise while driving.
It carries perfectly two cruizer bikes and one of the bikes is a huge 29" bike.
The latches seems kind of weak, if I try to push it to hard it will wears out the strap. It happened twice, so now I avoid pushing it too hard, and due to the marks on the strap, I can see when to stop.

Are there any options for locking on this?...
Are there any options for locking on this? Both locking the bike to the rack and the rack to the vehicle? Or just using standard bike locks/cable locks to be figured out by the user?
Wayne Christoffersen
You can secure the rack to the vehicle using the Hitch Lock but as far as the bikes go a cable lock is probably in your best interest.

Big Up Big up it's Stick Stick up!
Awesome budget tray rack for those looking for a bitch mount. Assembly took me approximately 30 minutes and they include all the tools you need, although the allen wrench is junk, and if your not careful you may strip the hex fitting on the bolt. The tray stows up out of the way and is very simple to load bikes onto. If your not looking to spendd and alot but want a rack with trays this is the way to go. And the best feature on it is the bottle opener for talking shop after your ride.

is the rack far enough from the car that I can have a bike with wide handlebars ?
Donald Schmit
Yakima's info says there is approximately 13" between the bike tray and hitch bolt hole. What I would do is take a tape measure and measure from where the main stem on the bike is out to the farthest point of the handlebars and if it is under that you should be safe.

Perfect, but only one change
I really enjoy the bike rack. There is one change that I would make though....I wished it would allow you to put your tailgate down without hitting the rack when you are not using it. In both the Subaru Baja and Toyota Tacoma, I have to take off the rack to be able to put my tailgate down or the tailgate will hit the wheel gards of the rack when it is in the folded position. Other than that....it is great!
What size hitch does it fit- 1 1/4 or 2...
What size hitch does it fit- 1 1/4 or 2 inch?
Does it curve up from the hitch to give the bikes better clearance on hills so they don't scrap? (I have a steep driveway)
Bill Kaplan
the stick up fits both 1 1/4 and 2 inch receivers and the attachment to the hitch is curved up to increase ground clearance. It's a great rack and easy to use but I wouldn't recomend it for carbon fiber bikes. They should only be attached by the wheels or the drop outs.
Heather Rabinowitz
Satisfied w/ our first bike rack
This has been good for getting our bikes around. We haven't used it off road, so I can't speak for it's function there, but on regular roads & expressways it works great. Keeps bikes in place / stable, no rattling around. One negative, if left on vehicle, the latch begins to stick.
Kasey W.
How far from the tailgate does this extend?...
How far from the tailgate does this extend? Could I fit a bike on if I had a spare tire extending to about a foot past the end of the hitch?
Bill Kaplan
So much depends on how far the hitch box extends and how far the spare tire extends. Maybe you should look at the sparetime rack which attaches to your spare tire.
T Smith
Rack'em up
I'm pleased with the overall design and functionality of the rack. There is one small thing I would recommend changing:
It would be nice if the mast (part that clamps on top frame of bike) locked in place for both positions (during transport of bikes) and also when it's in (the folded up) position.
As it is, there is a good deal of free travel where the mast can swing forward hitting the back of the vehicle when folded up.
A quick remedy for this is using a bungee cord.

Product Description
Together, they organized a charity event which raised one million RMB for the special program to aid children in China.
This event in Shangai was also an opportunity to flaunt two new watches that were designed for the soccer legend.
The timepieces in question are the second incarnation of the limited edition that came as a product of their collaboration, named the King Power Maradona.
This event continues to emphasize Hublot's involvement in its commitment to charities world-wide, often involving its ambassadors from the world of sports.
Two versions of the new watch are heavily influenced by the sport that made the Argentinean famous.
The dials feature number ten (which was his jersey number), as well as Maradona's signature.
Novelties include two central chronograph hands which contribute to improved legibility.
The first hand shows seconds, while the second, specially designed for soccer enthusiasts and coaches, indicates the elapsed time out of 45 minutes (soccer games consist of two halves that last 45 minutes).
Sapphire crystal with glare-proof treatment on both sides.
The ceramic watch has a micro-blasted ceramic with a black rubber molding bezel, while the other one includes the same bezel with a satin finish.
The dials are made of sapphire and skeletonized.
They both feature satin-finished hands with white SuperLuminova treatment for better visibility (the ceramic version has ruthenium coated hands, while the gold one appropriately includes mattching gold plated hands).
The skeleton dials offer glimpses to the self-winding HUB4245 chronograph movements with the central 45 minutes counters.
The automattic mechanical mechanism runs on the frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vph).
It is supplied with a power reserve of 42 hours.
The black rubber straps with white stripes are fastened with clasps that mattch the matterial of the case.
Both of the versions are limited editions.
The ceramic timepiece is made in 500 copies, while the gold variation edition consists of 200 pieces.
