James Sirius[3] Potter was the eldest child of Harry and Ginny Potter (née Weasley). His godparents, as well as uncle and aunt, are Ron and Hermione Weasley.[4] He has two younger siblings: Albus and Lily. James was named after his paternal grandfather, James Potter, and his father's godfather, Sirius Black.
James was seen going to Hogwarts on 1 September, 2017 with his brother Albus, who was just starting his first year. James, being the oldest child, had already been attending Hogwarts, but it is not specified which year he was entering. Contemporaries at school include his cousins Victoire and Rose, as well as Draco Malfoy's son Scorpius, though they are in different years.
When his family gathered to see him and his brother off at King's Cross Station on 1 September, 2017, James interrupted his cousin Victoire snogging Teddy Lupin, and then ran off to tell his family and other relatives. He was disappointed when they did not react strongly.[5] At some point, James would also steal the Marauder's Map from his father's desk drawer. [6]
- "You interrupted them? You are so like Ron -"
- —Ginny to her son.[src]
James is much like his uncle, Ron Weasley, for his poor timing and knack for interfering with other people's love lives. He also seems to have inherited his sense of humour and love for mischief from his two uncles, Fred and George Weasley, and having a fondness for teasing his siblings and making mischief. He is also very much like his two namesakes, James Potter and Sirius Black, in his mischievous and trouble-making nature.
Physical appearance
James like his younger brother, Albus, takes after their paternal family in looks. James did not inherit his father's green eyes, so he may have brown eyes like his mother. James did, however, inherit his father's untidy jet black hair. He has mostly his father's and grandfather's facial features.
ParentsJames has a very strong connection with both of his parents, even though he does not want to show it in front of other people, especially girls and friends. Still, he permitted his parents hugs and kisses (from Mother) before rushing off to the Hogwarts Express in 2017, and wrote to them three times a week the previous year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
James is the oldest of three children, and he enjoys teasing his younger siblings Albus and Lily. However, he is on good terms with both of them, even willing to share a room with Albus if Teddy ever decides to move in, although Harry seems to believe this would lead to disaster.
Teddy Lupin
When James saw Teddy kissing Victoire, he ran to tell his family, but he was disappointed with their reaction. However, he agreed with his younger sister, who shared his and Albus's desire for Teddy to become an official member of the extended Potter-Weasley family.
- James is a Hebrew name from the name Jacob, meaning "Heel" as in Genesis narrative, Jacob was born grasping Esau's heel and later bought his birthright. This was the name of James's grandfather and the middle name of his father.
- Sirius is the meaning of "Star" as it is the brightest star seen from Earth, it is also the Dog Star from Ancient Greek Mythology as he was Orion's dog. This is the name of James's father's godfather.
- Potter is a very common surname of English origin. It traditionally refers to the occupation of making pottery. Beatrix Potter was a well-known English children's author.
- Potter's Field is the name for a burial ground for the unknown or unclaimed dead, particularly soldiers and orphans; the Potter family had many members that fit that description.
- The Potter Box is a model for making ethical decisions developed at Harvard University.
Behind the scenes
- James is portrayed in the film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 by Will Dunn.
- James Potter II is the main character in the book James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing (and associated sequels), a non-canonical continuation of the Harry Potter series endorsed by (though not actually connected or affiliated with) J. K. Rowling [7].
- James was given the names of two Marauders and it is said that he stole the Marauder's Map from his father's desk drawer.
- It is possible that James was born in either 2002 or late 2005, to his parents.
- It is also interesting to note that James teased his younger brother Albus, who was named partially after Severus Snape, just like his grandfather James teased Severus Snape.

Notes and references
- ↑ James' age is not revealed in the epilogue of Deathly Hallows, but J. K. Rowling stated in an interview that his mother, Ginevra Weasley, spent a "few years" playing for the Holyhead Harpies, and then "retired to have her family". As Ginny graduated from Hogwarts in 1999, and a "few years" implies at least three years, the earliest she could have retired to have James is 2002. He is at least a year older than his younger brother Albus, who was born between late 2005 and mid-2006.

Chemotherapy uses drugs to attack and kill cells that divide quickly. This includes both cancer cells and some normal cells. How chemotherapy drugs affect those normal cells depends on the types of drugs you get and your response to them.
Doctors inject chemotherapy for carcinoma of unknown primary origin (CUP) into one of your veins. This lets it spread through your entire body to kill cancer cells. The drugs you receive depend on the area of your body where the cancer first showed signs. Your doctor may give you chemotherapy in an attempt to cure CUP. Or you may get it to try to slow the growth of the cancer.
Chemotherapy is often given in combinations of two or more drugs. The exact chemotherapy "cocktail" will depend on where the cancer has spread to, what coexisting medical problems you have, the toxic effects the chemotherapy may have, and where it is most likely that the cancer started. These are common drugs used to treat CUP:
Taxol (paclitaxel)
VePesid or VP-16 (etoposide)
Many brands of cisplatin or carboplatin
Taxotere (docetaxel)
5-FU or Adrucil (fluorouracil)
Gemzar (gemcitabine)
Chemotherapy affects both normal cells and cancer cells. Side effects depend on the type and amount of drugs you take. Ask your doctor which ones are the most common for the drugs you are taking.
Here are some common side effects the people with carcinoma of unknown primary origin (CUP) have when they take chemotherapy:
Appetite loss
Blood count change
Bruising and bleeding
Hair loss
Mouth sores
Nausea and vomiting
Tiredness and fatigue
Ask your doctor or chemotherapy nurse to help you ease these side effects.

Manganese Street is an west-east street in Algonquin, Liberty City. It starts just east of Union Drive West in Purgatory. It intersects with Galveston Ave where the Manganese West station is located on the south side of the intersection. It passes Frankfort Ave to enter Star Junction, passing many hotels and restaurants, intersecting Burlesque and then Denver-Exeter Ave. After passing Columbus Ave and Columbus Cathedral, it enters Hatton Gardens, the home of many high-rise apartments in a residential area. It intersects with Bismarck Ave where there's a Bank of Liberty branch with an ATM. It intersects Albany Ave where the Manganese East station is located on the north side of the intersection. It ends as an entrance/exit on Union Drive East. By location, and having two MTA stops on two seperate lines, it's based on 53rd street, in Manhattan, New York City.
- The name might be associated with Vincent Mangano, boss of the Mangano crime family from 1931-51.
- The name might also be a reference to the element and mineral Manganese, which most of the streets in Midtown Algonquin are named after.

In Bergen-Belsen the greatest gathering point of the uncremated cinders of
the Nazi extermination camps where everyone had dragged along a whole sack
of wonders and miracles that had kept them alive, that noteworthy figure,
regarded by all with total amazement, was pointed out to me. The Dancing
Hasid, there he is.
I glanced at him, taking him in entirely, examined his stance and gait and my amazement grew even more. Can it be? Is that the one who merited receiving the epithet of the Dancing Hasid?
Here is his portrait, exactly as he is: a deeply bent, broken figure; his face elongated and gloomy-looking; ash-colored, extinguished eyes; the hair of his payesand youthful beard all matted; an emaciated, shrunken body that is compressed within itself; in short, a perfect example of a doomed depressive!
Who claims the right to make fun of such a one? Is it but a malicious prank? I asked, completely shocked.
No kidding around! That's really him, the Dancing Hasid! He, with his Hasidic dance conquered the crematorium ovens of Auschwitz (Oswiecim)! He let himself go in a singing gambol on the very threshold of the limekiln, and as a result the camp Kommandant, that devilish overseer of the extermination battalions, did not want to let him be cremated under any circumstances! This young, fluttering, jigging, Hasidic bocher'lwas simply begging the murderer not to be separated from all the other Jews and he, the bocher'l, even tried to break through and jump into death, but the Lagerkommandant opposed him with firm obstinacy. No, and again no!
If that is so, why then is he so drowned in sorrow and the sorrow expressed in his entire existence? I found it hard to believe that which my ears had heard.
That's it! His anguish is actually derived from that, that he was given the gift of life by the greatest murderer, since he remained alive only against his will!
I began to investigate this peculiar Dancing Hasid in order to learn the secret of his soul. I tried to approach him and induce him to talk to me. I became convinced of how deeply disturbed and agitated he became at the slightest hint about that dance. Nevertheless, I was heartless and didn't let him off. My heart told me that the holy secret of this Dancing Hasid is also the secret of many, many others who jumped into the Nazi ovens with the greatest enthusiasm of kiddush Hashem, and whose sacrifice was, in fact, accepted!
I was not able to get him to say even one word about the episode of the dance at the crematorium oven. That experience was consciously sealed in the depths of his soul, and every attempt to talk about it or describe it he considered as the worst desecration. From the fragmentary sentences, delicate allusions, and tiny hints I heard him utter, I was somehow able to reconstruct the actual heroic saga of one of the youthful Hasidim in the ghettoes of Poland.
Dancing Hasid, tell me: how did you, out of the despondency in the
ghetto, ascend to such kind of a dance?
Not everyone in the ghetto surrendered to the rage of the torturers. Subterraneously, a fighting spirit arose. These were the young Hasidic bocherimwho stood in opposition to the Satan with the help of the old Jewish weapons: contempt and mockery of the enemy and defiance of the might of wickedness; the young Hasidim were rebels, and they did not accept any of the oppressor's commands. The occupier decreed that every Jew 12 years of age and older was to be drafted for forced labor for the benefit of the enemy. In order to enforce the decree, a system was established in the ghetto whereby whoever did not have a work card would not receive his meager portion of bread. The Hasidic bocherim rebelled, hid in the cellars, and created a kind of Hasidic commune. They did not report for forced labor, and they sought all kinds of stratagems to obtain for themselves a little food to hold body and soul together. When things got really bad and not a bite of bread was to be had without the stamped work card, a number of the Hasidic rebels went out to do forced labor but brought back their bread rations and shared them with the other chaverim, who remained in the cellars on guard so that the light of the Holy Torah and Hasidic ardor should not become extinguished!
Dancing Hasid, answer me, is it true that even in the dying ghetto the Hasidic song was not disrupted?
Everything that the villains invented in the ghetto had only one intention: to subjugate the Jews, to crush them. The Jew-badge with the mogen Dovid, which every Jew from child to adult had to wear, was called by the Nazis Schandzeichen [sign of shame]. But in that they made a great mistake, since many Jews wore it with pride and joy. How many mitzvahs in the Torah were given only to signify the Jew as Jew? Mezuzahs on the doors, t'filin and tzitzis, and beard and payes, about which Hasidim were particularly scrupulous; and then the unique Jewish form of dress, both on Shabbes and during the week, including men, women, and children. All of these were to give witness that one was a Jew! The young Hasidic rebels, therefore, specifically did not oppose the order to wear the Jew-badge. On the contrary, they took this on as a new, great mitzvah and they did everything to adorn and beautify it by wearing finely decorated badges. When they put on the yellow patch for the first time, their ecstasy was tremendous and they sang: How fortunate are we, how good is our portion
Dancing Hasid, tell me the truth. Did the very same ecstasy persist to the very last hour?
When the situation in the ghetto began to decline, the Jews came to understand that from then on their concern was to be not how to live but how to die as Jews! The young Hasidim, who lived in hiding, began to make proper preparations for that. They attracted to their circle a certain older Hasid, thoroughly experienced and knowledgeable, in order to study the laws and proper observance of the mitzvah of kiddush Hashem. The old Hasid explained it to them in utter simplicity. In the quiet, peaceful times, one teaches the young soldiers the entire lore of making war, how to fight on the front, and all the other stratagems of battle, that is, the arts and wiles of winning a war. When, however, the war with the enemy is at its height and the mobilized soldiers march out to the raging battle, then one makes preparations so that they know how to throw their lives into the very fires, safeguard their flag, and fall with the greatest worth! With this, the young Hasidic bocherimbecame hardened. They swore to each other that they would not, Heaven forfend, succumb to mental weakness in the last moment, not be dismayed by the raucous laughter of Satan, and not bring shame, Heaven forfend, in the hour of the last ordeal. All of this was accomplished in the hidden cellars of the ghetto!
Dancing Hasid, don't turn away from me, and tell me straight out: how did you keep your oath?
The dancing Hasid shuddered and became totally silent. With his nervous, fluttering glances he was shouting at me. How dare anyone approach with mundane fingers the most sublime soul string, which is hidden so deeply?
A group of young Hasidic bocherim, who led a rebellious lifestyle in the underground of the Lodz Ghetto and, in so doing, managed to maintain their Jewish-Hasidic appearance without the slightest change, were finally caught up in the final liquidation of the ghetto and deported, along with the last Jews, in the last deportation train to Oswiecim. During the entire journey, locked in the death train, the young Hasidim did not stop singing with the greatest fervor. Singing, they were led into the extermination camp and their hopping song accompanied them all the way to the gas chambers. The moment that the crematoria ovens became visible, they were caught up in the holy trance of the seekers after kiddush Hashemof all the ages; with rapture they began to embrace each other and hop around with each other, dancing together and singing the refrain: How fortunate are we, how good is our portion, happy are we, how sweet is our lot, happy are we
The Lagerkommandant, the overseer of the crematorium detail, whose eyes had seen so many and varied spectacles during the reception process of the Jews marching to their deaths, this time was amazed and shocked.
Who are they? What can this insane dance mean? he shouted out wildly.
These are young Hasidim! That is the Hasidic way! They are possessed of the highest faith; there is no greater reward in the entire world than to be burned in the ovens as a Jew, that means, for kiddush Hashem! This was said by one of the Jewish slaves of the Sonderkommando in attempting to clarify the situation for the bewildered Lagerkommandant.
These ones I will not exterminate for any money in the world! I will not fulfill their innermost wish! he decided quickly.
Then, on the threshold of the crematorium, the following scene was played out. On one side the yearning thirst of the dancing, singing Hasidim reached a climax of uttermost ecstasy, and they begged the hangman himself, We want to go into the ovens! Together with all the Jews! How fortunate are we, how good is our portion! Vey, vey, how good is our portion!
And on the other side stood the Lagerkommandant, the chief hangman, confused and shocked, screaming with the greatest savagery, No! I am not taking you to the ovens! That's all there is to it!
Then, at once, the dance was extinguished. The wellspring of the song was interrupted. The Hasidic bocherim, united in a singing circle, already on the other side of the ugly materialistic world, were lost in despair and bitter disappointment, as if someone had fallen from the deep blue, clear skies into the deep abyss.
The sacrifice of the heaven-enraptured Hasidic bocherim was not accepted, and they were thrust back into the shameful, mundane existence of the extermination camp. Several of the dancing troupe later found their way to the ovens, and their lot was the same as that of many Jews. The only one of the singing fraternity who was condemned to remain alive, the Dancing Hasid, that is actually the one who stood there before me.

Griffey Name Still Highlight Worthy
When Tyler Griffey made a wide-open layup with 0.9 seconds left to lift Illinois over top ranked Indian 74-72 in men's college hoops Thursday night,
I thought 'Wow, what a finish. What a game!'
I also couldn't help but think of one of my all-time favorite baseball players—Ken Griffey Jr.—and how it's been nearly three years since his abrupt retirement from the Mariners in early June of 2010.
Griffey quietly walked away after 22 major league seasons having collected 2,781 hits, 1,836 RBI and 630 home runs, the fifth-most long balls in baseball history.
Junior was the total package. The sweet swing, the majestic home runs, the highlight reel catches, the swag, the ever present smile and the backwards cap; I loved it all. Who didn't?
I even had those ugly Griffey Jr. shoes, several pairs to be exact, when teal was cool back in the day.
It's hard to nail down my favorite Griffey Jr. moment. I could go on and on. But the time he flew around the bases from first to home scoring the decisive run to eliminate the Yankees in the 1995 ALDS I knew who my favorite player was.
Of course he's still one of my favorite players and always will be. And in two years it will be nice to hear his name again upon his induction into the baseball Hall of Fame.
Long live The Kid.

mercuric sulfide
Vermilion is an opaque and heavy reddish orange pigment similar to the color Scarlet. It is more stable in oils than in other forms and brushes out well. Since the 1920's, it has largely been replaced by Cadmium Reds because they are less reactive, particularly in oil colors, and less toxic.
Vermilion has very good permanence, although it is considered unreliable by many artists.
Vermilion is extremely toxic if ingested, highly toxic if inhaled, and slightly toxic if it comes into contact with your skin. It can cause skin allergies and forms hydrogen sulfide if combined with stomach acids.
Made from the mineral cinnabar, Vermilion has been used in India and China since prehistory. The earliest known description of synthesizing Vermilion from mercury and sulfur dates from 8th century China. It was an extremely expensive pigment due to the rarity of pure cinnabar sources. When sold in Europe, it was frequently adulterated with red lead, an inexpensive bright lead oxide pigment that was too reactive to be trustworthy enough for use in art. Vermilion was favored by old paint masters, such as Titian.

Summer Films
OK, to save us all going to turkeys, it would be nice if members could report back on films they have seen.
So far for me:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 - 11/10
Captain America - 10/10 (but make sure you stay and watch the credits through!)
Would you consider...
Including a brief review as well as just reporting the titles of the films you see? For me, that would really make for a great discussion, and a resource too. For instance, I am in two minds about paying to go and see the last HP in the cinema. I expect the effects to be good, but I don't want to be disappointed with them or the story seeing as it is the last film. A brief review from you might help sway me and other members. What do you think?
Becky, a good idea, but, a) depends on time to write a review, and b) worried about spoiling the plot.
With regards films like HP, I have never been one to compare the book and the film. I view each as separate stories that happen to have the same characters.
Obviously there is far too much in the book to be reproduced faithfully in film, plus the impracticalities of translating fictional "magical" effects to "real life", but I think all the major events were handled brilliantly.
There were two bits that I was slightly disappointed in, but I won't discuss these until you see it, which you must :o). If you don't get a lump in your throat at the least you are not human! The two bits don't detract from the brilliance of the film.
Captain America was just a high quality fast moving action romp which if you like the films of the Marvel comics you will love, possibly the best one so far.
Heart made of stone?
I'm afraid I am known as being made of stone. I can watch those heart-wrenching documentaries and very rarely find myself moved. But I will try and get out to see the HP film upon your recommendation.
Come to think of it, I think the last film I saw was the previous HP, I took my niece. Can't remember having been to the cinema since. I've also had Bridesmaids recommended to me, although not sure I need to see that on the big screen.
Movie Reviews?
Sorry but I can't help but plug a site I often write movie reviews and some articles for.
Check out www.moo-vfarm.com
If there are any reviews on there you think are missing let me know and I will see what I can do.

Achevage and regulating
In the dim light, adjusting the escapement – called achevage – ensures the distribution of the balance wheel's force. The operation is controlled by projection. It is extremely painstaking work because tuning the pallet to the escapement wheel and the balance demands very nimble fingers. In a brighter room, some operations such as placing the balance wheel and the balance-cock on the movement, levelling and centring the hairspring on the balance, allow the movements to start ticking. The success of these operations ensures the watch's accuracy for generations to come.

Fort Worth, TX (Sports Network) - With the Big 12 Conference crown theirs for
the taking, the third-ranked Kansas State Wildcats head to the Lone Star State
for this Saturday's pivotal matchup with the TCU Horned Frogs.
Kansas State is one of only six undefeated teams left in the FBS, the team
winning all nine of its bouts thus far by an average of 25.7 ppg. The Wildcats
are 9-0 overall and 6-0 in the Big 12 for just the third time under legendary
coach Bill Snyder, and the first time since 1999. K-State is ranked second
once again in this week's BCS standings, the highest BCS ranking in school
history. The 'Cats took out visiting Oklahoma State last weekend, 44-30, and
following this bout, will play at Baylor next Saturday before wrapping up the
regular season at home versus Texas on Dec. 1.
TCU's first season as a member of the Big 12 has had its up and downs, the
team sporting a 6-3 overall record, but just a 3-3 league ledger. Last
weekend, the Horned Frogs paid a visit to the other new team in the
conference, West Virginia, and escaped in double-overtime with a 39-38
victory. That win snapped a two-game losing streak for coach Gary Patterson's
squad, which continues a murderous second-half stretch following this clash as
it face Texas and Oklahoma on Nov. 22 and Dec. 1, respectively.
TCU owns a 3-2 lead in the all-time series with Kansas State, but the two
teams have not met since a 35-22 victory for the Horned Frogs in Fort Worth
back in 1986.
The Kansas State offense is one of the more potent not only in the Big 12 but
the nation as well, and the unit is led by Heisman hopeful Collin Klein. With
the gifted quarterback at the controls, the Wildcats are lighting up the
scoreboard to the tune of 44.3 ppg, behind nearly 440 total ypg. Klein is a
true threat in every sense of the word, as in addition to completing 71.1
percent of his passes for 1,875 yards, 12 TDs and only two interceptions, he
ranks second on the team in rushing with 698 yards and a whopping 17 scores.
John Hubert paces the club with 760 yards, and he has reached the end zone a
dozen times. Chris Harper and Tyler Lockett are Klein's favorite targets down
field, the duo combining for 69 catches, 1,070 yards and five TDs.
Defensively, the Wildcats are permitting just 18.6 ppg as foes have had
trouble finding running lanes (99.2 ypg, six TDs), enjoying more success with
the pass (259.3 ypg, 11 TDs). Still, the KSU defense has made a slew of big
plays, logging 24 takeaways and 21 sacks. Arthur Brown continues to lead the
unit with 67 tackles, while Allen Chapman and Ty Zimmerman have come up with
four picks apiece. Nigel Malone has three.
Klein was once again in top form last week against Oklahoma State, throwing
for 245 yards while rushing for 64 yards and a TD -- his 50th career rushing
TD. However, he suffered an undisclosed injury in the second half and was
replaced by Daniel Sams, who was nearly perfect in completing 5-of-6 passes
for 45 yards. Klein is apparently fine and will likely be under center in this
clash, but there's no telling how K-State's season might unravel if he is out
for any significant amount of time. Angelo Pease was the team's leading ground
gainer last week with 72 yards on nine carries, while Hubert added 38 yards
and scored twice on only nine totes as well. Harper, Lockett and Travis
Tannahill each finished with five catches, with Harper tallying a team-high 89
receiving yards. Lockett returned a second-quarter kickoff 100 yards for a
Chapman snared three interceptions in last week's win over Oklahoma State, one
of which he returned 29 yards for a TD, as the Wildcats took advantage of five
turnovers despite allowing 417 passing yards to the Cowboys. K-State did hold
the Pokes to just 87 net rushing yards, and allowed them control of the ball
for just over 22 minutes. OSU was just 3-of-12 on third-down conversion
attempts. Amazingly enough, Kansas State has outscored the opposition 111-0
off turnovers this season.
At his press conference earlier this week, coach Snyder immediately addressed
the 800-pound gorilla in the room, that of course being Klein's status,
without getting into too many specifics.
"Would I expect him to play? I certainly hope that's the case, and I would
expect that to take place."
While not as prolific as its counterpart, the TCU offense can hold its own
with most in the Big 12, the Horned Frogs averaging 169.3 ypg rushing (fourth
in the conference) while tallying 264.8 ypg passing. Of the 33 TDs the team
has scored this season, 24 of them have come through the air. TCU has
committed 23 turnovers, 14 of which have been on fumbles. Casey Pachall (.660,
948 yards, 10 TDs, one interception) was the team's starting QB, but he is
undergoing therapy following a DUI arrest, thus Trevone Boykin has assumed the
job and has thrown for 1,376 yards, with 13 TD passes and seven picks. Josh
Boyce is the Frogs' top pass catcher, having grabbed 50 balls for 687 yards
and seven scores. The run game features four guys with at least 248 yards, led
by B.J. Catalon and his 401 yards. Matthew Tucker paces the club with three
rushing TDs.
The Horned Frogs possess one of the nation's top defenses, ranking eighth in
the FBS against the run (96.6 ypg) and 25th in total defense (333.7 ypg). Joel
Hasley leads the squad with 68 tackles, while Devonte Fields has a team-best
eight sacks and 14.5 TFL. Jason Verrett heads the secondary with five
interceptions and 12 PBU.
In last week's thrilling win at West Virginia, Boykin completed just 12-of-29
passes, but they went for 254 yards, two TDs and one interception, both
scoring strikes going to Boyce who finished with six catches for 180 yards.
The TCU run game accounted for just 126 yards, with no player amassing more
than the 39 yards Catalon had.
West Virginia was held to just 78 net rushing yards, and while star QB Geno
Smith threw for 260 yards and three TDs, the Mountaineers were limited to 126
yards after halftime. Derrick Kindred and Sam Carter tallied 10 tackles
apiece, the former making nine of his stops unassisted. and the Frogs as a
collective unit were credited with eight TFL, and the defense scored a TD on a
15-yard fumble return by Dominic Merka in the third quarter.
Coach Patterson, who is a K-State alum, was asked recently about facing his
former school.
"It's hard because you love seeing that they have come so far, and they are so
close to maybe playing for a national championship. On our side, we just want
to win our seventh game."

Her hair looks super thick-- mine would never stay put in that position (fine). It reminds me a bit of Geisha hairstyles although obviously far less ornate.

Oh, hello, I didn't see you there!
You either clicked on this thread for one of three reasons. You either;
A. Was curious about it's contents and had no interest in the topic.
B. Thought this thread was discussing the Ritchie films
or C. Wished to discuss the masterful BBC and PBS produced 'Sherlock' series, ran by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat and starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.
If you chose Option C, you are correct! That's right, the fantastic adventures of Sherlock and Dr. Watson shall continue starting New Years Day on BBC1 and each Sunday thereafter for a whopping three further weeks (insert 'Wow! Three Whole Weeks!'s)
If you've yet to experience the pure joy of the first series, it is available on Netflix streaming and on DVD (Amazon: US and UK).
Now then, let's get to the discussion, eh! Why not start with some thoughts on the first episode, Steven Moffat's "A Study in Pink"?

Hard-throwing native joins Padres rotation
Padres at Astros
Today: 5:05 p.m. at Minute Maid Park. Padres RHP Andrew Cashner (3-3, 3.81) vs. Astros LHP Dallas Keuchel (1-0, 1.29)
On the air: FSSD; 1090-AM, 860-AM (Spanish)
HOUSTON Very much a long, tall Texan, Andrew Cashner is Texas through and through, clean through TCU. It's presently hot as hell, yet it's his heaven, and it's his home.
"Why do you think I'm so excited?" said Cashner, the Padres' hard-throwing right-hander. "I've been in Texas for three weeks."
Seemed a real shame, it did, that Cashner had never pitched in the actual Texas League until the Padres sent him to Double-A San Antonio on June 10. When the Padres did so, it was great news for Cashner for more reasons than one, the biggest being that San Diego was making a starter of him again.
And it will be in Texas — 42.3 miles from his home in Conroe, to be exact — that Cashner officially goes back to being the long-haul pitcher in the majors that he was growing up and playing college ball in the Lone Star State. That the opponent for Cashner's first full-fledged start is the Astros is serendipitous, too, given that he was raised an Astros fan.
"I was at Game Six (of the 2007 NLCS)," said Cashner, 25, "the one where (Albert) Pujols hit one out of the stadium, over the (railroad) tracks."
Cashner's first career strikeout was Astros slugger Carlos Lee on June 6, 2010, at Minute Maid Park. His first win was over the Astros on July 20 of that rookie year at Wrigley Field.
The timing of this occasion is not without a twist, too. Cashner's return to the Padres as a starter comes just a couple days after Anthony Rizzo made his debut with the Chicago Cubs, who gave up Cashner to get the celebrated young hitter in trade on Jan. 6 of this year.
Cashner made the Opening Day roster for the Padres, of course, but began the season in the bullpen. The Padres wanted to bring him along slowly — no easy feat for a guy who routinely throws in the 100-102 mph range — knowing that he'd missed most of the 2011 season with a rotator-cuff strain after his only start for the Cubs.
When reactivated by the Cubs, Cashner was a reliever for all six of his appearances, and he began his tenure with the Padres primarily as their eighth-inning guy. He maintained from the start that his goal was to simply prove that his shoulder injury was a thing of the past, no matter how he was being used, and his eye- and glove-popping velocity pretty much bore that out.
With all the injuries to Padres starters, Cashner became more of a consideration for a role in the rotation. He was given a chance to be a kind of starter-with-asterisk on June 9 at Milwaukee, limited to just 47 pitches over 2 1/3 innings, the Padres sticking to their plan to let Cashner stretch out his arm further with some minor league starts.
"It definitely caught me by surprise," said Cashner. "I didn't think I'd get a shot this year. We'd talked about me getting the opportunity maybe next year to start again. Main thing was, they just wanted me to stay healthy this year and get back to pitching. When they asked me if I wanted to, I was excited for the opportunity."
Beyond the obvious difficulty the Padres have had with their rotation, Black said he and the team wanted the time to study Cashner's makeup and delivery through spring training and the first two months of the season. As a reliever, Cashner compiled a 3-3 record, 3.81 ERA and four blown saves.

Many more people in Carteret County will be able to have a Thanksgiving meal this year thanks to a generous donation Wednesday.
Martha's Mission Cupboard in Carteret County received a load of canned goods from the NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores and eighty turkeys donated from St. Andrew Church in Morehead City.
Martha Bell, the executive director of the food pantry, says their mission is to tide those in need over until assistance from the state or federal government. Bell says, "Each person who is in need has to show a referral form. Then those recipients wait in line while the volunteers pack their grocery bags full of necessities according to the number in their family.
Martha's Mission is primarily run by fifty elderly volunteers throughout the year.

Scott Podsednik & Mark DeRosa
Scott Podsednik doesn't belong on the North Side, and it's not just a White Sox thing, either.
The guy's injury prone and his defense isn't what it use to be, which was never above average to begin with.
Despite Podsednik's ability as a solid leadoff man, he's just not the fit the Cubs need in center field. Better options are available (Reed Johnson) and the Cubs are better off taking a flyer on Scotty Pods.
Besides, an aging Alfonso Soriano in left field is already enough poor defense to overcome. Adding a second sub-par defender isn't the shot-in-the- arm Jim Hendry should be looking for.
–Signing a two-year deal with San Francisco is a good move for Mark DeRosa. He'll be a full-time starter at third base and the Giants are on the cusp of being a playoff contender.
DeRosa's likable personality makes him a good fit on any club, but with San Fran he'll fit in exceptionally well. The city's forward thinking crowd will love D-Ro the same way in which they did the well-spoken Rich Aurilia for so many years.
The Cubs don't face the Giants until mid-August when they play a four game set at San Francisco. DeRosa's return to Wrigley comes the following month for a three-game series against the Cubs in late September.
–Former-Cub Bob Howry is returning to his native state to pitch for the D-Backs. I always liked Howry the person: solid dude, and a true professional at his craft. The results of his pitching, however, not so much.
I'll give the guy credit for his first two seasons with the Cubs, which were fairly good, but his last in '08 ended in shambles. I can't remember another Cubs reliever who gave up more big home runs since Mike Remlinger and Kyle Farnsworth.
As it was, the Cubs smartly cut ties with Howry and he eventually signed with San Francisco last offseason.
As expected, the 35-year-old fell flat posting a 2-6 record and 3.39 ERA. Apparently, however, Arizona is so desperate for bullpen help Howry is a fit. Oh, how the once mighty Bob Howry and the Arizona Diamondbacks have fallen!

The Baltimore Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 to win the Super Bowl.
It was all Ravens in the first half, and briefly looked like the second half was going to follow the same storyline after Jacoby Jones scored on the second-half kickoff, running 108 yards.
But then came a lengthy power outage, much to the bewilderment of players and spectators alike. When the lights finally roared back on 34 minutes later, with it came new momentum for the 49ers. The 49ers nearly erased the 28-6 deficit they were in pre-outage, getting as close as 31-29.
The 49ers had one more chance to score with just four seconds left in the game, potentially taking the Super Bowl into overtime. But the Ravens held them off, ending the thrilling second half as the Super Bowl champs.
More than 76,000 fans were packed in the Super Dome in New Orleans.

International Leadership Institute unites Minneapolis with sister city in Kenya
By Lisa Bryant
Contributing Writer
After serving as a trial judge for 21 years in the Hennepin County Fourth Judicial District Court, the Honorable LaJune Thomas Lange has found another way to influence and serve the Twin Cities as well as the global community. In 1994, she founded the International Leadership Institute, an organization based in Minneapolis that works to build and bridge relationships between local and international leaders to strengthen cross-cultural relations, provide civic education programs and enhance the lives of international peoples and communities. "I'm so very proud of the work Judge Lange is doing," says Judge Pamela Alexander, a former district court judge with the Hennepin County courts, now
president of Minnesota Council on Crime and Justice in Minneapolis. Alexander explains that African Americans often forget how connected we are to our African nations. For that reason, she says Lange's work is remarkable: "It opens [our perspective on our] world and reveals just how connected we truly are."
Lange has devoted a great deal of her career as a judge, professor and lecturer to issues concerning human rights, international law and governance, and women's rights and gender equality worldwide. Continue Reading →

Copy, cut and paste
this wiki
created August 13, 2002 · complexity intermediate · author Anis W. Nugroho · version 5.7
Ever try to cut (or copy) some lines and paste to another place? If you need to count the lines first, then try these to eliminate counting task.
Cut and paste:
- Position the cursor where you want to begin cutting.
- Press v (or upper case V if you want to cut whole lines).
- Move the cursor to the end of what you want to cut.
- Press d.
- Move to where you would like to paste.
- Press P to paste before the cursor, or p to paste after.
Copy and paste can be performed with the same steps, only pressing y instead of d in step 4.
The name of the mark used is related to the operation (d:delete or y:yank).
I found that those mark names requires minimal movement of my finger.
If you want to copy and paste between editor buffers (but not between instances of vim), or if you want to maintain multiple "clipboards" (copy buffers), you can name your buffer by pressing "x (that's a double quote followed by x, where x is the single letter name you choose for your buffer) before the d in step 4, and again before the p in step 6.
If you happen to be using gvim for Windows and want to copy or cut into the Windows clipboard, press Ctrl+Insert in step 4 (to copy) or Shift+Delete to cut. To paste from the Windows clipboard, press Shift+Insert.
How copy and paste between two instances of Vim on different Linux consoles?
After copying text, open a new buffer for a new file:
:e ~/dummy
paste the text to the new buffer
write the new buffer (:w)
switch to the previous buffer (:bp) to release *.swp
now switch to the other console
put the cursor at the desired place
read the dummy file (:r ~/dummy)
If you want to simulate the Windows way of Cut/Copy/Paste you could add the following line to your initialization file.
source $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim
Read :help :behave for other information.
See Quick yank and paste.
Why can I not copy and paste a block of 200 lines? The yank works fine, but the paste only does about 50.
same problem with me (50 line limit). I've fixed this before but dont dont remember what the fix was.
Increase the buffer limit between multiple files.
:help 'viminfo' ... < Maximum number of lines saved for each register. ... :set viminfo? :set viminfo='100,<100,s10,h

WASHINGTON -- Democratic and Republican congressional leaders are sounding conflicting notes on whatever budget talks lie ahead.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell tells ABC's "This Week" that the "fiscal cliff" deal puts the tax issue "behind us" and it's time to focus solely on confronting what he calls Washington's "spending addiction."
But House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi tells CBS' "Face the Nation" a push for higher taxes on upper-income earners is "not off the table." She says changes to tax law could involve deductions and other breaks.
McConnell says it shouldn't require a crisis for President Barack Obama and the Democratic majority in the Senate to address federal spending and the future of big entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security.
Pelosi also took a swipe at Republicans. The former House speaker says the country needs a strong GOP but describes the current party as a "really over-the-edge crowd" that's dominated by an element of "anti-government ideologues" committed to opposing President Barack Obama.

I installed Sweater Weather in front hallway as a runner in the parquet-style (quarter-turns).
It looks fabulous, easy to install and is high quality.
The only reason for not a fully 5 star rating is that the grey has a definite sage-green cast to it, while I was hoping for more of a true charcoal. To be fair, upon a second closer look the screen shot does show the green - but I wasn't seeing it thinking it would be a true sweater grey in my head. My fault for not ordering a swatch first!! What can I say, I'm impatient.
I love the look enough that I will keep it anyways and will definitely be back for more styles for other areas of the house!

"Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men's reality." - Hunter S. Thompson
The Legend:
First off, for anybody who is unfamiliar, you have to start with the legend. The basic story of the Bridge s this (taken from wikipedia, but I have seen it on this website and many others):
"Alternatively, legend tells of a black goat farmer who moved his family to a residence just north of the bridge. A few years later, Oscar Washburn was known as a dependable, honest businessman. North Texans endearingly began to call him the Goatman. But the success of a black man was still unwelcome to many, and Klansmen in the local government turned to violence after he displayed a sign on Alton Bridge: "this way to the Goatman's".
In August 1938 Klansmen crossed the bridge and kidnapped Washburn from his family. They hung a noose on Old Alton Bridge and, after securing it around his neck, threw him over the side. When they looked down to see if he had died, the noose was empty. In a panic, they returned to his family home and slaughtered his wife and children."
I have also heard a few varations, one saying that the goatman was NOT liked by the townspeople, and wasn't lynched by the KKK, but actually run off the bridge. Another story, radically different from the rest, says the ghost is actually of a Catholic Irish immigrant named Shamus, who takes the form of a half-goat half-man body and is a very angry and violent spirit.
I have looked at records of Alton, and have not found records of anyone named Oscar Washburn or Shamus.
There is a popular video on youtube which attests to this, and you can watch it here: https://www.youtube....h?v=boiiWYtiIRc.
The Bridge:
Going back to the legend, they state there are no records of lynchings off the bridge, but records will show lynchings in the surrounding area. The only reported violent act on the bridge is a shootout between outlaw Sam Bass and the Texas Rangers. If anything, the bridge is just a symbol of the legend, as it is definitely creepy, scary, and strange. The history behind the bridge is that it connected Copper Canyon to Denton Texas. It was mainly used to carry horses and automobiles across the creek below. There are still many strange experiences recorded from on the bridge, from rocks being thrown, to screams, maniacal laughter, crying, even a bigfoot scream.
Satanic Rituals:
This is what I believe to be the most unnearving part of the whole thing. I have many friends who live in the area of the Bridge and say they see people in black with candles on the bridge after midnight often. I myself saw a person in a black robe the first night I went. I think a lot of the apparitions of goats or goatmen are things conjured by satanists. I found one picture in the bathroom of Goatman's house of what I believe to be a satanist, but who knows what the hell it is:
The Woods:
If you were to park off Old Alton Road and hop the gate, you'd be on your way to the Bridge. The bridge itself is off a trail to the right. The woods beyond the Bridge are very scary at night. I have my own experiences which I'll share later. To my understanding, the woods are the remnants of Alton. I have heard that there is an old asylum, a church, and even the house of the Goatman himself. People have reported everything from orange lights to being touched out there.
The House:
Now if you read the legend, it says the "goatman" put a sign on the end of the bridge saying "this way to the goatman." Everything I've ever read or seen says that the house is not too far from the bridge, and just off a path. This is true. If you watch the video I posted above, the man at the end says that there was no "Oscar Washburn." The only truth to the goat aspect of the legend is that there was a house not far from the bridge which owned slaves. One of the slaves lived in a cabin not far from the house, and he in fact DID sell goats. I have found the house after a few trips, but I felt very stupid after I realized it was not past the bridge, but in fact behind it. There is a trail that goes past Old Alton Road from the parking lot that leads directly to the alleged cabin of the goatman, and his owner's house. I have many pictures of the house, and will post them if you would like. If you want to look at the house, some over at the UER forum posted some great pictures of the house itself: http://www.uer.ca/fo...&threadid=89481. The cabin that the alleged Goatman lived in is right next to the house if you want to go look, but it is torn down.
My Experience:
I went on Halloween of this year, but did not experience much. I was scared out of my mind, but I eventually got to know the area pretty well. I went back a second time with my brother, a friend I go to college with, and a good friend from UNT. We brought a flashlight for each person. It was dark as we parked right in front of the gate, and we all got out excited to explore and hopefully find Goatman's house based on what we knew about the legend in the area. There was only one other car there, and it was overflow parking for the soccer field which was hosting a game that night. We hopped the gate and only walked around thirty steps before something rustled the bush and scared the hell out of us. We jumped and held our flashlights close to the bush. My brother says something big and brown ran away after we shined our lights on it. I still belive that was probably an animal, but it was a big one and not a good way to start off the night being as scared as we were beforehand. We walked another five steps before we heard footsteps. Not of any animal, as we all are very outdoorsy and my friend hunts often. They were obviously of a human. The problem is, no matter where we shined the lights, we could not find the source of the steps. Now if you go to the Bridge in daytime, you notice that the surrounding wooded area is really not too dense. It is surprisingly open and there aren't many places to hide. That's why I was scared, because the steps were a deliberateheel-toe step not too far in front of us. We stood there yelling at the noise, trying to be tough as we initially thought it was just some students messing with us. Not even a second after we stopped yelling, a rock hit my friends truck that we all rode in. A few other rocks were thrown, and we charged the area, finding literally nothing. We were mad that something threw rocks, and it wasn't until a night later that I found out that there is reportedly a bigfoot in the area, and one story I found includes rock throwing. We walked the path across the Bridge, and even heard a grunt while we took our time on it to recollect. Advancing in the woods, we heard the same heel-toe footsteps everywhere we went. It came from all directions, it even ran right in front of our lights and we couldn't see anything. We checked everywhere and there was nobody there. It was just too weird for me. We kept experiencing this the entire way up to another parking lot where there were no cars, right by the powerlines. We decided to turn around and experienced nothing for the rest of the night until we decided to try and find what threw rocks at us at the beginning, where another rock was thrown. We did not find the Goatman's house that night, but instead went home scared and skeptical. I would have been skeptical myself, if I hadn't known that there would had to have been about fifteen people placed all across the trail walking around, and we found no other cars except one that was obviously for soccer (it had shinguards in the backseat and it only held four people anyway). I cannot say that it wasn't weird.
My Conclusion:
After a lot of time spent exploring, researching, and not sleeping, I have finally found what I believe to be the truth behind the legend. Most of the legend isn't true, the only thing that is true is that a slave sold goats. I believe the woods are haunted. I believe the house itself is haunted. Based on what I know, I believe the original Goatman may have been that slave, and he very possibly could've been one of the lynchings in the area. He may not be the only ghost, as the legend of La Llorana is attached to the area, and many Native American Ghosts have been reported in the area. Also, a five year old girl apparently drowned in Hickory Creek. The whole area is basically a giant ghost story.i believe completely that anything you see out there may be the result of black magic, especially the demonic satyr that has been spotted. I may not know what happened to the Goatman in exact details, but I can hope that he rests in peace along with the other tortured souls in the area.
If you want to go to the bridge, just search old alton bridge on google maps and find directions. It's right by UNT off Teasley Lane. You won't get ticketed for trespassing day or night unless you do something stupid and are past a curfew.
I had a lot of fun writing this, and I'm glad I came to some sort of conclusion regarding the legend and to even touch on what really happened. I loved spending half of my free time researching and exploring, and I had an absolute blast with my friends going out there.
If anyone knows anything about the abandoned asylum or church, I would love to know. Thanks for reading!

They discuss the economic baloney of mainstream economists, the failure of most to understand the potential for mass inflation given the money supply currently sitting around in bank reserves, the reality of the business cycle and the politicians and medias failure to grasp it, and why none of us should make sweeping predictions about how the future will unfold, even if we do understand economics, since human action and the flexibility of markets are impossible to quantify.
