Analysts at Societe Generale claim that the single currency may weaken by 6% versus the greenback sliding to $1.2590.
The specialists keep thinking that euro's advance from this year's minimum at $1.2624 hit on January 13 was only a correction within the middle-term downtrend. In their view, the resistance line of the descending channel at $1.3570 will likely cap euro on the upside.
According to the bank, EUR/USD will decline to $1.2590/$1.2620.

The latest Commitments of Traders (COT) report, released on Friday by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), showed that:
• Euro shorts declined from the previous week's total of 148.6K to 142.3K contracts.
• British pound shorts decreased from 40.6K contracts on February 14 to 31.3K contracts on February 21. Longs on sterling were cut by almost 8K contracts, while shorts were reduced by almost 11K contracts.
• Japanese yen net longs declined from 29.4K contracts reported on February 14 to 17.3K as the data on February 21 showed.
• Swiss franc net shorts extended from 15.9K net short contracts on February 14 to 19.8K contracts on February 21. Short positions increased surpassing small increase of longs.
• The value of US dollar's net long position rose to $17.25 billion in the week ended February 21 from $16.98 billion the previous week.
It's necessary to note that the figures cited above are always a week old at the time of their release. Never the less, CFTC data gives a good oversight into how the market is positioned and if/how these positions are being unwound. Although the CME speculators represent a small fraction of trading in the currency markets, their trades are widely seen as typical of hedge fund investors' currency movements.

US National Association for Business Economics announced today that the forecasts for US employment improved.
According to NABE's survey of the leading economists, payrolls will rise 170,000 a month on average in 2012. In November the consensus was of 127,000 new jobs a month. Unemployment will average 8.3%, down from 8.9% be the previous estimate.
Such change in expectations reflects a potential positive shift in consumer confidence and better growth prospects for the world's largest economy. At the same time, economists maintained forecasts for consumer spending, which may rise 2.1%, and predicted GDP to add 2.4% in the fourth quarter from a year earlier, unchanged from the November survey.
In January US non-farm payrolls by 243,000, showing the biggest advance in 9 months, while the unemployment rate fell to the minimal level since February 2009 at 8.3%.
US February labor data will be released on March 9.

Yesterday the greenback spiked to 81.67 yen reaching the maximal level since May 31. Since the end of January it gained more than 5%.
However, technical analysts at Forecast Pte claim that the pair USD/JPY may lose about 1.5%.
The specialists base their conclusions on the momentum indicators. The greenback's 14-day relative strength index was at 72 yesterday, above the 70 level some traders see as a sign an asset's price is set to change course.
"The candle formation looks to signal a possible reversal," say the analysts noting that American currently seems to be extremely overbought.
As a result, the specialists think that US dollar will go though correction in the short term. In their view, USD/JPY may drop to 78.85 yen (50% retracement of dollar's advance from the February 1 minimum to yesterday's maximums). Then the pair may climb to 85 yen in the next 1-3 months.

Analysts at Brown Brothers Harriman note that as oil prices are rising, US dollar will find itself under pressure.
The specialists say that the current oil price's advance is caused by several factors. Firstly, supply from Sudan, Syria and Yemen has sharply contracted due to political instability if not to mention Libya and Iran. Secondly, Japan's increasing oil consumption replacing nuclear fuel. Moreover, the unusual cold in Europe may be fueling demand as well.
According to BBH, high oil prices increase the risk that the Federal Reserve will launch another round of quantitative easing as the economy of the United States will suffer as oil import becomes more and more expensive.
The Fed's Chairman Ben Bernanke will be testifying before Congress on Wednesday and Thursday, so the bank recommends watching his comments for the hints of the central bank's opinion on the issue.

The European Central Bank will conduct its second LTRO operation on Wednesday, February 29.
The first round of low-cost refinancing operation took place in December: European banks got 489 billion euro in 3-year credits.
Analysts at Westpac claim that if the region's banks borrow less than 480 billion euro, investors will worry that the markets are too illiquid and will buy the safe-haven greenback against Canadian dollar. At the same time, if banks borrow more than 480 billion euro, one should sell US dollar versus its Canadian counterpart.
The specialists favor the second outcome and recommend traders to take risk. Westpac advices to go short on USD/CAD stopping at 1.0060 and targeting 0.9770.
At the same time, the bank warns that one has to be careful as investors could soon change course if they reevaluate and decide that a large take-up implies weakness in the system.

The specialists claim that the greenback may add about 10% versus Japanese yen if it managed to close the month above 21-month MA at 80.90 yen. In this case American currency will climb to 88 yen.

Nomura has made the best 3-month forecasts for EUR/USD and USD/JPY, according FX Week. Such conclusion was made due to the comparison of the bank's 3-month projections made in the middle of November and the actual rates at the middle of February. What does the bank expects next?
Nomura is still bearish on the single currency. According to Nomura, the pair EUR/USD will fall to $1.20 by the middle of this year. The analysts think that the sovereign debt crisis will continue in spite of last week's bail-out package for Greece as other European economies may find themselves in need of bailouts as well.
The specialists think that the European Central Bank's second longer-term refinancing operation LTRO on Wednesday will be lower than expected: the banks will get only 200-300 billion euro from the ECB. At the same time, according to the survey of Nomura's clients most people are expecting ECB to grant the region's 500 billion euro in credits. As a result, the bank thinks that euro will start sliding in case of the lower number.

According to the Confederation of British Industry, the gauge of retail sales growth improved from minus 22 in January to minus 2 in February (versus -17 forecast).
British pound declined by 1% versus the single currency since February 21, the day before Bank of England minutes showed two policy makers voted for a larger increase in asset purchases than agreed at this month's meeting.
Analysts at Citigroup think that now there's a good chance to buy pound n the dips. The specialists advise traders to open shorts on EUR/GBP at 0.8473 targeting 0.8250 and stopping at 0.8555.

Technical analysts at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ claim that the single currency may rise to the 200-day MA at $1.3722.
The specialists note that EUR/USD's 5- and 21-day MAs are both pointing up – long-term bullish signal.
At the same time, the bank says that if euro doesn't manage to overcome $1.3509 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement from the pair's decline from the May 4 maximum at $1.4940 to January 13 minimum at $1.2620), it may slide to the 90-day MA at $1.3243. As the recent advance of the single currency was very rapid, EUR/USD may survive short-term correction.

The single currency fell versus the greenback after the European Central Bank the injected a huge amount of three-year cash into the banking system.
The ECB allotted 530 billion euro in 3-year contracts at 1% interest. The first long term refinancing operation (LTRO) in December accounted only for 489 billion euro. However, the figure was close to what the market has been expecting, so EUR/USD got limited on the upside.
One may see that euro's correlation with risky assets has broken as higher-yielding currencies such as Australian and New Zealand's dollars rallied against US dollar. The reason is that increased liquidity may boost carry trades in which investors use lower-yielding currencies buy riskier assets, so that EUR will get under pressure.
On the one hand, money from the ECB will help the region's banks to meet their financing needs and continue easing tension at the euro zone's bond market. On the other hand, LRTO can't resolve the euro zone debt crisis and the excess liquidity could weigh on the single currency in coming months.
Support levels for EUR/USD lie at $1.3400 and $1.3388, while resistance levels are situated at $1.3485, $1.3500 and $1.3547.

- The Fed's Chairman confirmed that the interest rates are likely to stay low at least until the end of 2014 as unemployment level is still high and inflation outlook is subdued.
- Bernanke didn't mention additional monetary stimulus measures like QE3.
- "Gasoline prices have moved up, primarily reflecting higher global oil prices – a development that is likely to push up inflation temporarily while reducing consumers' purchasing power."
- Comments on the situation in euro area: "if Europe has a mild downturn… and if the financial situation remains under control that the effect on the US might not be terribly serious". At the same time, there is "significant risk" of stress and contagion from "a major financial accident".
Analysts at Barclays Capital note that US central bank is passively moving away from excessive easing approach that will be a positive factor for US dollar.
According to the data released yesterday, US GDP added 3% in the final 3 month of last year (vs. the consensus forecast of 2.8% growth). Conference Board said that confidence among US consumers climbed to a 12-month maximum in February.
Beige Book, regional business survey, also published yesterday showed that American economy expanded at a "modest to moderate pace" in January and early February, the main driver of the expansion was manufacturing.
Bernanke will continue giving its semiannual testimony to the House Financial Services Committee.

Today is the first day of EU economic summit. The meeting of the European leaders will be focused on the ways of reviving the region's economy postponing the discussion of Europe's financial-crisis firewall.
Analysts at Mizuho Securities claim that the markets are still concerned about the future of the euro area. The specialists are bearish on EUR/USD expecting the pair to slide to $1.25 by June 30.
The single currency dropped versus the greenback yesterday from nearly 3-month maximums in the $1.3480 area to the levels around $1.3315 after the ECB allotted 530 billion euro of cheap three-year credits to the European banks as investors were "buying on rumors, selling on facts". Then euro was hit after the Fed's Chairman Ben Bernanke didn't signal another round of quantitative easing.
Support for EUR/USD is currently situated at $1.3293 (100-day MA).

Technical analysts at Commerzbank think that the pair EUR/USD may have reversed downwards.
The specialists claim that support for EUR/USD is situated at $1.3318 (February 1 maximum), $1.3293 (February 21 maximum), $1.3199 (late December maximum), $1.3126 (the uptrend channel support) and $1.3066 (55-day MA).
According to the bank, resistance lies at $1.3389 (yesterday's minimum), $1.3436 (50% Fibonacci retracement) and $1.3487 (February maximum).
Commerzbank says that the outlook for euro will remain bearish as long as it's trading below $1.3487. If the European currency overcomes this level, it will get chance to climb to $1.3550 (December maximum) and $1.3628 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the decline from October to January).

The National People's Congress will convene in China on March 5 and last for a week discussing the Government Work Report which will reveal the nation's targets for growth and inflation, detail the fiscal budget and the priorities for reforms in 2012.
Analysts at Societe Generale believe that the general direction of Chinese policymakers will remain the same: the nation will continue being focused on "making progress while maintaining stability". In their view, China will reiterate "prudent monetary policy" and "proactive fiscal policy".
According to the bank, China will likely diminish GDP target to 7.5% indicating increasing commitment to structural reforms and less appetite for aggressive investment stimulus.

Analysts at Rabobank believe that the single currency will fall to $1.25 versus the greenback by the middle of May and then return to growth targeting $1.40 in the longer-term as the specialists believe that US dollar will be weakened by the Fed's policies and economic growth slowdown.
The bank is bullish on the Australian dollar and the Canadian dollar. In their view, these commodity and growth-linked currencies are helped by the success of the LTRO which improved investors' sentiment. The analysts aren't sure that Aussie and loonie will be able to maintain the gains for the duration of the year, but for now they seem to be supported well enough.

Analysts at Bank of America claim that although the single currency declined yesterday versus the greenback after the LTRO results and Bernanke's testimony, EUR/USD prospects have so far improved.
The specialists expect the market's risk sentiment to stay elevated as the situation at the European peripheral debt markets as well as the general state of global economy improved.
The bank increased EUR/USD forecast from $1.25 to $1.30 by the end of the second quarter and from $1.30 to $1.33 by the year-end. In addition, the projections for EUR/JPY were revised up from 91 to 105 yen by June 30 and from 99 to 109 yen by the end of December.
Bank of America thinks that Canadian, Australian and New Zealand's dollars have good chances for appreciation. As for British pound, the analysts are pessimistic and lowered forecast for GBP/USD for the end of 2012 from $1.53 to $1.51.

Ireland's Prime Minister Enda Kenny announced on Tuesday that he would sign the EU's new fiscal treaty on Friday, but then the issue will be put on a public referendum. The date for that isn't defined yet, but it may be scheduled for May or June.
The outcome is uncertain as the Irish rejected the two most recent European Union treaties before passing them in repeat referendums only after concessions were offered.
The fiscal treaty agreed in January by 25 of the 27 EU countries (except the UK and Czech Republic) proposes tough new deficit and debt limits for euro zone members in order to prevent future financial crises. The so-called Fiscal Compact will become binding once 12 of the euro zone's 17 members ratify it, so the Ireland's decision isn't critical for the treaty's fate.
However, as for Ireland itself it seems to be a matter of great importance as the fiscal treaty emphasizes that any members who fail to ratify the pact by March 2013 will be blocked from receiving funds from the future European Stability Mechanism. In 2010 Ireland got bailout from the EU and the IMF and will be funded until late 2013. Never the less, many experts think that the nation will need new loan package next year.
Analysts at Danske Bank believe that the "yes"-vote is the most likely outcome of the referendum. In their view, the Treaty may be possibly ratified in a second vote like it was with the Lisbon treaty.

The greenback rose versus Japanese yen approaching February 27 maximum at 81.67 yen.
Yen weakened versus the majority of its counterparts as, according to the data released today, the nation's CPI fell by 0.1% in January (y/y) declining for the fourth month in a row. According to Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes, yen lost 6.9% during the past 3 months versus other developed-market currencies.
Last month the Bank of Japan set inflation target at 1%, so the market expects that it will keep easing monetary policy in order to meet this goal. The central bank will meet on March 12.
Analysts at Morgan Stanley increased forecast for USD/JPY for the first quarter from 75 to 80 yen citing "more aggressive dovish" approach of the BOJ.
Strategists at UBS don't agree with the widespread idea that yen may strengthen towards the Japanese fiscal year-end at March 31. The specialists think that Japanese investors won't need to repatriate their profits as domestic financial sector looks quite healthy. In addition, Japanese investment flows were net buyers of foreign assets in the first quarter since 2007, and that trend seems unchanged. According to UBS, USD/JPY will rise to 85 7yen in 3 months. Among the reasons why to be negative on yen the bank names high likelihood of further monetary easing in Japan, the widening of the gap between the US and Japanese benchmark bonds and the increasing oil prices.

There are very many steps the average consumer will take before choosing a given service provider or product vendor. The most common step for most is pre purchase research which helps them ensure that they are choosing the right service provide or vendor before making the decision to buy. In the past, what the consumer needed to make up their mind was a copy of the consumer report magazine. Today, things are a little different.
The modern consumer spends a sizable budget buying stuff over the Internet. This allows him to buy anything under the sun over the cover of the web. But their purchases are not random; most of them begin with research through different online platforms. Many e-commerce websites help their consumers make proper buying decisions by sharing real customer reviews on sales pages. Their consumers also spend a good amount of time checking out affiliated blogs for detailed product guides, among other things.

I'll admit to feeling a quick flutter of excitement when friends suggest eating together and the expectation is that I chose the "perfect" spot.
I rapidly flip through my mental rolodex, wondering if they want the meal to comfort them or blow them away with offbeat creations? Do they want a hip, cacophonous environment or a conversation friendly dining room?
When I ask these questions, I often get the hand-wave and hopeful "YOU chose". Continue reading

- The Print
- The Artist
French printmaker Gustave Doré (1832 – 1883) reigned over a menacing, nightmarish purgatory swarming with grotesque winged creatures, bodies writhing in agony and demonic entities. Doré was best known for his dramatic, black and white wood-engraved illustrations of Dante's "Inferno," Cervantes' "Don Quixote," Poe's "The Raven" and the Bible. A child prodigy whose artistic talent emerged at age 5, he became France's highest-paid illustrator by age 16. Remarkably prolific, he produced 10,000 engravings during his life and employed more than 40 block cutters. The most popular illustrator of all time, Doré profoundly influenced Van Gogh and the Symbolists.

San Miguel County Sheriff Bill Masters says the Bell 407 helicopter with three crew members and a sheriff's deputy on board crashed near Lizard Head Pass after it lost power at about noon Saturday. No one was injured in the crash.
The team was looking Robert Blake, of Corrales, New Mexico, who was reported missing after he failed to return from an afternoon of cross-country skiing Friday. Blake's body was found by ground crews at about the same time the helicopter crashed.
Masters says it appears the man died of natural causes.
The helicopter was contracted out of Moab, Utah.

Why We Muslims Are Angry
You want to know why Muslims are so offended by the caricature of the Prophet? It boils down to respect--a lack of it.
The reaction to the Danish caricature of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) can be described as nothing short of mind-boggling. Angry protests sparked across the Muslim world: Flags were burned, guns were fired in the air, people were threatened and even beaten, products were boycotted, and ambassadors were recalled. All this over a bunch of cartoons.
Yet, why was this so? What was it about these caricatures that infuriated many Muslims worldwide so much that they would torch a Danish embassy and bring sales of Danish cheese to a halt in the Middle East?
I think it's more than--as many media outlets are reporting--the Islamic tradition that forbids the caricature of God or any of the prophets. Of course any image made of God or His prophets will invoke some Muslim protest. But it is the grossly negative caricature in the Danish cartoons that has sparked the intensity of this furor.
The cartoons depict the Prophet Muhammad to be a blood-thirsty brigand, a knife-wielding Bedouin, an inhuman terrorist. What was particularly bothersome to me was the cartoon that showed the Prophet telling suicide bombers at the gates of heaven: "Stop! Stop! We have run out of virgins!"
These depictions are so offensive because the Prophet holds such a special place in the hearts of every Muslim on earth. We believe he was the Messenger of God and the seal of the prophets. Islam tells us he was visited by the Angel Gabriel, that he ascended to heaven and spoke to God, and that he transmitted the very word of God to His servants on earth.
The Prophet suffered so much pain and torment just to give the message of Islam to the world, a message that will save me on earth and in the hereafter. So I love and revere the Prophet, and to see him maligned and attacked in such an insensitive and repulsive way causes a pain in my heart that I simply cannot bear.
These caricatures of the Prophet is akin to publishing a cartoon of Jesus Christ as a Catholic priest being dragged away in handcuffs for sexually abusing a young boy. Christ is wholly innocent of the crimes committed by a minority of Catholic priests against young boys. If such a cartoon were to ever be published, I would be shocked, angered, and deeply offended.
The same goes for the Prophet Muhammad. He has nothing to do with the terrorist monsters who kill in the name of Islam. It is completely inappropriate to equate him with them. I would never attack the character of any of God's Prophets. These men are His representatives to humanity and deserve nothing short of respect, honor, and reverence. In my mind, to attack their character is to attack God Himself.
But the Muslim reaction went way too far.

Re: Admin welcome
Thanks! I appreciate it, it's good to be on-board. Oh, and if you have a moment, could you review the Featured articles nominations and possibly weigh in on some of them? I recently got the process started up again and I'd like to get some people to vote on the nominations that have been made. ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:39, January 14, 2013 (UTC)
You flatter me, really. If it is in the best interest of the wiki, I'd gladly accept nomination. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 20:18, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
Re: Other featured content
You're completely right, it could all use a good lookover. I was hoping to clear out some of the backlog on the Featured articles stuff first, and then maybe move on to that. ProfessorTofty (talk) 21:00, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Sorry to bother you, but would I be able to use this page as a source for renaming Expulso to "Expulso Spell"? --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 23:54, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
- Hm... it should work. Do you mean you can't click on it, or just that it doesn't seem to lead anywhere? Either way, here's the site: http://www.gamesover.com/HP7/level11.htm, in case you still can't get the link to work so you can copy and paste it into your search bar. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 00:00, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

By the way, your name isn't turning up orange as it should when an admin edits, and sorry if I sounded rude in my edit note on the Boggart page. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 00:10, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

This was an issue that came up a while back when Wikia added in the "Media galleries" feature. As Hunnie Bunn indicated, if you find any others like that, you can just change "widths" to "width" and it should solve the problem. Most of them have already been taken care of, but there may still be one or two here or there that have the issue. ProfessorTofty (talk) 23:58, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Sorry to keep bothering you. But I had two questions.
- Would it be all right if I change the "their" in your last message to Professor Tofty to "his", as it's just one talk page?
- I see you opened up a vote for Seth Cooper to be a bureaucrat; am I allowed to vote?
Thanks --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 00:42, January 16, 2013 (UTC)
Re: Expulso Spell and Orange
The link loaded okay for me, however, given that this is an unofficial gameplay and strategy site, I can't endorse a change in the spell name based simply on the information of this site. And as for your name not appearing in orange, I can see it in orange on the Recent Changes, but not the Recent Wiki Activity. ProfessorTofty (talk) 00:57, January 16, 2013 (UTC)
Avery Jr.
I wonder which of the Death Eater in 4 film was Avery?
HP on the Web
Hello! How would you feel about taking part of the responsibility for the Harry Potter Wiki Twitter (@Official_HPWiki) and Facebook? We are looking for someone or some people who would be interested in maintaining the accounts! We usually like to update daily, but we also like to have fun with it! I am contacting you because you seem pretty active on this wiki, so if you are interested in learning more, please let me know! If you are not interested, but can think of other users that would be and would maintain the accounts regularly, please let me know as well, thanks!

Possibly same character
Hello Nick O'Demus I noticed that: Unidentified Death Eater (III) and Unidentified Male Death Eater (III) has the same costume .If it's the same character then we're on this Wiki progressed a further .Talk it over with the other Admins .
Non-beings as creatures.
Hope you don't mind me disagreeing with you, but I am not sure that categorizing "non-beings" as "creatures" is correct. Unless you define "non-beings" as "other-than-beings", it is logically contradictory. MinorStoop 13:13, January 22, 2013 (UTC)
Hello Nick O'Demus. I've recently opened a new forum, which you can find here. I would appreciate your valuable input on this matter. Thanks. --Hunnie Bunn (Owl me!) 21:01, January 26, 2013 (UTC)
Bullying Report
Hi. According to this user I am constantly harassing and bullying him on his talk page and to use his words "tearing [him] apart". You can find the comments here. I figured I'd let you know in case you wanted to block me or something, whatever it is you do when you see mean comments. Thanks! Template:Hb
Never mind, it turns out I wasn't bullying him after all. Sorry to bother.
Reading Club
However, ProfessorTofty and I were thinking of starting a Reading Club (or so, I asked and Professor Tofty said it was worth considering). Would you be interested in participating? Template:Hb--Hunnie Bunn (Owl me!) 02:06, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

RE:RE:Linking and Reading Club
Sorry it took so long to respond, my computer kept on shutting itself down before I realized it needed charging... As toward the linking matter, I think perhaps it would be best to expand the two wikis before beginning to link this one to them, as this one is so large by comparison. Toward the reading club, though - we look forward to seeing you there, and it should be good fun. --Hunnie Bunn (Owl me!) 12:59, February 1, 2013 (UTC)
Hi, thank you. I've just accepted. Nice to know another Hufflepuff from here on Pottermore. I hope they don't need too long to go on with the book. This waiting is annoying. Harry granger Talk contribs 16:53, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

Okay then, forget harpies. I'm Belac Reteet, by the way. Hey, I wanted to tell you something.

hi why did you delete that Ellie Samantha page?
I know Ellie Samantha in real life and the casting director of Harry Potter told her she was really close to getting the part, he said if Helena hadn't got it she would.
Susan Bones
No affence (offence? offense? ofence? a fence?), but shouldn't we be using the film image, even if it is outdated, because films are second tier canon and video games are third tier? Sorry to bother. --Don't forget: Elvendork! (It's unisex!) 23:21, February 23, 2013 (UTC)

If you have a moment, could I talk to you on chat? Whenever you have the chance is fine. I'm going to be on and off throughout this morning (and probably for at least fifteen minutes from the posting of this message), so if you get this, just holler, and we can talk. Otherwise, just if we see each other on and editing at the same time. ProfessorTofty (talk) 11:37, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. Some of those do look vaguely familiar, and I'll certainly keep my eyes open for them. ProfessorTofty (talk) 12:07, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
Original Research
Hi Nick. I saw your message on this thriving discussion about using anything other than canon to apply to canon. Does this therefore apply to dates perceived from mathematics (i. e. dates students were born or when they graduated from Hogwarts, etc.) and does that mean that Jelly-Legs Jinx should be unmerged from Jelly-Legs Curse? Or Gemino Curse (Doubling Charm) from Geminio? Finite Incantatem from General Counter-Spell? Admittedly, I did all of the above merges, but it was with little to no opposition. Shouldn't I have? Should all speculation be removed? (PS, Sorry if I come across as standoffish or whatnot, but I'm being a bit paranoid here). Cheers, Hunnie Bunn! 13:26, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
Hey Nick O'Demus. I'm Belac Reteet. Just wanted to ask if you're the one who deleted my mortals category page. Catch ya later!belacreteet (talk) 18:07, March 10, 2013 (UTC) Sorry Nick, it turns out I was wrong - it was ProfessorTofty after all. Please disregard these messages. --Hunnie Bunn! 18:15, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
Killed by categories
Not having categories of only one article makes sense, but there are already quite a few that fit that case in Category:Individuals by killer. Just letting you know so you can delete those. --SnorlaxMonster 06:59, March 13, 2013 (UTC)
Quote of the Week
Thank you for taking care of adding the recent additions to the archive. I wasn't familiar with how to get to it. Since they've been placed there now, I'm going to go ahead and remove them from the nominations page, so they're not cluttering it up anymore. ProfessorTofty (talk) 18:23, March 13, 2013 (UTC)
actors category
So recently it came out from a direct source that one of the actors we had listed for an actor in the movie was wrong (though I wish I could have seen the sources I had listed before it was deleted, because I know I wouldn't have created a page on a random hunch unless I had seen it on another website >.<) but I decided to maybe go through and double check sourcing on all our real world actors and such, when I noticed that an anon recently made some new categories within the actor real world category specifiying nationality, like "American actors real world". So two questions, is this something we should keep, and personally I think if we do, so to not be redundant, I could go through and make sure it follows a cateogory tier, so like if it's an american actor, they only have that category and not the actors category as well, what do you think?

Re: Category notability
Thanks for fixing up the "Quidditch teams with robes" thing. And yes, I'd defnitely be up for a discussion of standards regarding category notability-- I do agree that it's seemed like it's gotten a bit out of control lately. ProfessorTofty (talk) 14:43, March 16, 2013 (UTC)
RE:Actors references
Oh, boy. What to do: categorically remove the possibly misleading statements, or should we try to find additional references that confirm his participation in the film? -- Seth Cooper owl post! 14:08, March 21, 2013 (UTC)
Interwiki Linking
Hi, I'm Eladkse - an admin at Community Central. One of my responsibilities it to help manage interwiki links between wikis of different languages. I'm calling by to ask if you could confirm that the German wiki de.harrypotter is indeed the correct interwiki variant for Harry Potter Wiki. Due to unknown reasons, harrypotter (sans hyphen) is also linked to this wiki, and i need to know which is correct so I can fix it. Many thanks. Eladkse (talk) 15:24, April 2, 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not an admin anywhere of relevance, but I have something to contribute. Over a month ago, I made a forum post with a very long list of foreign-language Harry Potter wikis: you can find it here. It lists both German wikis in question and dozens more languages: Danish, Catalan, etc, many of which aren't linked to this one. I asked if the the admins here would like to get their wiki linked to these wikis. ProfessorTofty deferred the decision to community consensus. Admirable, but nobody ever posted again. I s'pose Eladkse's business is top priority, but you might take a look at my thread too. Elecbullet (talk) 22:17, April 2, 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Just wondering, how does one make the names of pages italic? I know how here, but on the Potter Dictionary Wiki (a wiki just about the books), it doesn't work so well (an example can be seen here). Could you please help? Thanks. --Hunnie Bunn (talk) 22:46, April 2, 2013 (UTC)

Book Notes: Sept. 9, 2012
Railroad town remembered
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- David Parmer, of Hinton, has written a book about Orlando, a forgotten railroad town not far from his hometown of Burnsville.
"Tales of Old Orlando" contains more than 300 photographs and stories such as a "leap frog" murder. The book is published by McClain Printing Co., in Parsons.
The book chronicles life in a small railroad town straddling Lewis and Braxton counties in its heyday when railroads were the only way to travel in West Virginia. Orlando was a change-over stop on the Baltimore and Ohio and Coal & Coke railways.
According to a news release, "Murder and mayhem and fun and frolic were rife as long as the trains kept running. When the automobile took the steam out of the locomotive, this small town declined into anonymity."
Parmer taught high school history before going to law school at WVU. He practiced law in Hinton for nearly 40 years.
The 400-page book may be purchased for $45 plus $5 shipping from the author: David Parmer, P.O. Box 39, Hinton, WV 25951.
Book signing
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Eric Douglas will talk about and sign copies of his book "Wreck of the Huron" at 6 p.m. Sept. 12 at the Kanawha County Main Library, on Capitol Street.
Former resident pens novel
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Dixie Guill Golden, a graduate of DuPont High School and the University of Charleston, recently published a novel, "Unfinished Conversations." The trade paperback joins the e-book store at Amazon.com and will be available to the wider market in a few weeks.
The book is set in the 1960s and includes West Virginia sites such as Hawks Nest, Kanawha Falls and Cranberry Glades.
According to a book blurb, "'Unfinished Conversations' pulls us back to the 1960s when Emily made one simple choice that changed her life forever. Now her winding journey offers temptations, revisits old traumas and collides with an unyielding fate of suspense and surprises everywhere she goes."
A free lengthy sample is available at Amazon.com.

African Stars "Twanga Pepeta" and Mashauzi Classic "Wakali wa Kujiachia" will today perform at the launch of Miss Tabata 2012 at Da' West Park, Tabata.
Godfrey Kalinga, the co-ordinator of the event, said yesterday that the launch would go simultaneously with Easter celebrations.
Aspirants from Miss Dar City Centre and Ukonga will also be introduced at the event organized by Bob Entertainment and Keen Arts under the sponsorship of Konyagi, a brand of Tanzania Distilleries Limited, he said.
Twanga Pepeta and Mashauzi Classic promised to give a colourful entertainment to music lovers on the special day, he told the media.
"Fans will have a chance to see contestants who will vie for the Miss Tabata crown this year," he affirmed, noting that after the introduction contestants will continue with the rehearsal at the same place to prepare for the final event to be held later next month.
Miss Tabata aspirants are Neema Saleh (18), Paulina Valentine (18), Khadija Nurdin (19), Phillios Lemi (20), Noela Michael (20), Khadija Ramadhani (18), Axer Peter (20), Rahma Hassan (19) and Mercy Mlay (21).

Every week, another child is diagnosed with cancer in Central Virginia. Last summer, six-year-old Caroline Morris was one of them.
Diagnosed in June 2015 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common type of childhood cancer, Morris has been receiving treatment at Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU (CHoR) ever since.
"It's not my hair that makes my beauty," said Morris, who lost her hair as a chemotherapy side effect, "it's my heart." > Read more.

Organization offsets more than some countries produce in a year
[October 31, 2008 – Silver Spring, MD] Carbonfund.org, the nation's leading non-profit carbon offset and climate solutions provider, announced today it is offsetting over 3 billion pounds of carbon dioxide emissions. These offset projects, including renewable energy, energy efficiency, carbon credits and reforestation projects, were made possible by donations from hundreds of thousands of individuals and hundreds of businesses, including household names like Dell, Orbitz, JetBlue, Amtrak, and Volkswagen. Founded in 2003, Carbonfund.org has pioneered global warming solutions for individuals and businesses that reduce the climate impact of the donor and support projects that benefit local communities.
"Three billion pounds is a staggering number, equivalent to offsetting the CO2 emissions of 154 million gallons of gas, or the electricity use of 180,000 homes for a year," said Eric Carlson, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. "We started Carbonfund.org five years ago to help make it easy and affordable for everyone to mitigate their carbon impact, and the results we are seeing today support that goal."
Over 400,000 individuals and 1,000 business partners have contributed to Carbonfund.org to fight global warming. Working with a wide variety of donors is one of the organization's core strengths.
"I love their carbon calculators; they are accurate and help me save money by allowing me to reduce my exact carbon impact," said Kiki Jenkins, Carbonfund.org donor and conservation scientist. "Their verified projects help me reliably offset my emissions, and that is very important to me."
Some of Carbonfund.org's business partners include Dell, Yakima, Orbitz, JetBlue, Avis Budget Group, Amtrak, Volkswagen, Staples, and Esurance. With Carbonfund.org, many of these companies have been able to create custom programs that help these companies meet their unique sustainability commitments.
"We approached Carbonfund.org because of their reputation as a leader in this field," said Kelsey Marshall, Co-Founder of Grounds for Change. "Our Carbonfree® coffee has been a great success, thanks in large part to the work that Carbonfund.org has done to create a program that speaks to our environmentally conscious customers."
Carbonfund.org supports projects globally, including reforestation, renewable energy, and energy efficiency projects. Carbonfund.org supports third-party validated projects that meet the highest international standards along with having an annual third-party portfolio audit to ensure donor funds are allocated correctly and that no double counting occurs. Carbonfund.org has pioneered strict oversight, financial and project transparency and extensive audit processes in the industry.

KERSHAW – Kershaw officials are still talking about ways to enhance law enforcement coverage in the town.
Town Council met in closed session twice Monday to discuss its contract with the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office.
Kershaw has been paying the sheriff's office $451,000 a year to provide coverage, which includes two patrol deputies per shift.
Town Administrator Tony Starnes recently expressed a desire to have a deputy who can serve as an administrator or supervisor on each shift.
The national debate regarding religion and contraception made its way to Lancaster on Tuesday evening.
That's where U.S. Rep. Mick Mulvaney spoke at a town hall meeting inside Stevens Auditorium at the University of South Carolina Lancaster. He's been traveling throughout the state's 5th Congressional District lately, updating constituents on federal affairs in Washington, D.C.
City Council is divided on certain details of the Brook Drive improvement project near the University of South Carolina Lancaster.
The city has been planning for sewer and road improvements that will better accommodate the future influx of student residents in that area in coming years.
On Tuesday, council voted to accept a $144,853 bid from LCI Lineberger Construction to perform the road work – to include widening, resurfacing and the raising of a dip.
Robert Wade worries a new Family Dollar store near his Elgin home will mean an increase in crime.
Rachel Wallace is concerned about what kind of store could move in to the building if the Family Dollar should happen to fail.
And Carolyn Petroski, who enjoys the rural landscape of her community, fears the business could irrevocably harm her way of life.
A Panhandle rezoning plan is in flux once again, as a special committee tasked to clear up zoning concerns in the northern part of the county voted to disband last week.
The Panhandle/B-3 Overlay Committee, made up of various residents, Lancaster County Council members and representatives from the county planning department, held its last official meeting last week.
District 1 County Councilman Larry McCullough said the committee had delivered what it had been set up to do and he recommended it disband.
A proposed zoning plan for the Panhandle was stopped in its tracks last week, as Lancaster County Council decided to instead extend its rezoning moratorium.
The original plan for council's Feb. 27 meeting was for members to hear first reading of an ordinance to add several business zoning classifications to the county's Panhandle area.
The city of Lancaster is once again giving financial support to Hope on the Hill.
City Council voted unanimously Feb. 28 to award the organization $50,000 to be used for renovations of the former Barr Street school, now called the Barr Street Family Life Center.
The $50,000, which is specifically targeted for auditorium repairs, will come from the city's hospitality tax grant fund.
That fund contains a little more than $1 million, said city Administrator Helen Sowell. Grants are given to events and projects that can foster tourism.
Larry McCullough campaign
INDIAN LAND – Republican incumbent District 1 County Councilman Larry McCullough, 60, announced this weekend he is seeking re-election for Lancaster County Council.
McCullough's two an-nouncements, one Saturday at 521 BBQ & Grill and another Sunday at The Lake House in Sun City Carolina Lakes, were attended by more than 100 enthusiastic supporters, many of whom signed up to volunteer with the campaign.
Plans to make Main Street Lancaster the local hub for Native American studies have been delayed with the discovery of asbestos in a key building.
City Administrator Helen Sowell on Monday confirmed that asbestos has been detected in the former Badcock furniture store building, 119 S. Main St., that will now serve as the home for University of South Carolina Lancaster's Native American Studies program.
It's a long way from Las Vegas to Lancaster, but Rob Petrucci, 42, and his family packed up and made the trip to start his new job as director of Lancaster County Emergency Medical Services. His first day was June 15.
Coming here was not as big a leap as you might think. Petrucci found his calling while he was doing undergraduate studies at California-Polytechnical College in San Luis Obispo, Calif. He got involved with the EMS there, and has been at it ever since.

WFLA - A Florida high school teacher could be out of a job after she was accused of disciplining students by having them wear a cone-shaped dog collar.
The teacher and her ninth-grade students referred to the collar as the "cone of shame," a reference inspired by the Disney movie "Up," the letter said.
Laurie Bailey-Cutkomp placed the cone on at least eight students.
She's now on unpaid leave.
Tanisha Medina, one of Bailey-Cutkomp's students who wore the collar said she knew it was a joke and allowed the collar to be put on for fun.
"She came up behind me ... and she said, 'Is it fine?' I said, "Yeah, sure, it's fine,'" Medina said.
She said Bailey-Cutkomp didn't fasten the collar; she just held it closed loosely with her hand.
Medina said another student asked to have the collar put on, and the teacher asked students before putting the collar on them.
Someone took pictures.
"Everybody was just joking around with it," she said, "and some kid, I don't know what he did, he ruined it for all of us," Medina said.
Zephyrhills High administrators learned about the incident when the photographs from the class were posted on Facebook.
They questioned the teacher about the situation on April 13.
Bailey-Cutkomp could not be reached for comment.

Cover an arbor with a leafy grapevine and enjoy an abundant late-summer harvest of fruit. Serve fresh-picked grapes with a cheese platter, add them to fruit salads, preserve them into sweet jam or use them to make your own juices and wine.
Mars: A large, seedless, deep-blue grape with classic flavor, similar to the Concord—perfect for making jelly or juice as well as just eating fresh. This vine is a dependable producer. Fruits in mid-September.
Fredonia: A vigorous grower that requires relatively little pruning. The large, juicy, seeded, blue-black fruit has a delicious spicy flavor that adds rich dimension to jam, juice or wine. Fruits in late August to mid-September.
Reliance: A high sugar content gives this seedless red grape its sweet, mild flavor and makes it a wonderful addition to fruit salads, jellies and juice. Fruits in late July to late August.

Susie replies:
Why do people like to have sex? I have always wondered this.
It feels good.
The species would have a little trouble propagating if we didn't enjoy mating. By nature, sexual pleasure is the incentive that encourages us to make more of ourselves. That's quite good for the species -- so much so that I think humans may have done too good a job of it. But conditions being the way they are in the world, it's not always the optimal time for some/many/most folks to make babies. They're hard to raise, they're expensive and what not. Luckily technology has given us the means to enjoy sex without always reproducing while at the same time protecting ourselves from sexually transmitted infections (this amazing piece of technology is called a "condom").
But that's putting it in its simplest terms. If you want to know more about what makes sex so appealing, that's a whole lot of neurology, endocrinology and physiology lessons. The real root into why sex -- or anything else -- feels good is all in the human brain. When people feel sexual pleasure, there's a swirl of hormones and neurotransmitters that course through the brain.
One of these is dopamine. This is the neurotransmitter that stimulates the "reward" center in your brain. Hit this neural magical button, and you will feel the sensation that your body interprets as "GOOD!"
Another is norepinephrine. During the phases of sexual response, you'll go through some fight-or-flight phases. That's when this neurotransmitter will be released. It makes you feel alert and awake, possibly a little jumpy.
Serotonin is one you may have heard of. This neurotransmitter is what makes people happy. Many of the newer anti-depressants target serotonin receptors to correct deficits in serotonin stimulation.
One of my favorite brain chemicals is oxytocin. Its functions are very closely tied to sex and reproduction. In males it can facilitate erection. It is released during orgasm. Oxytocin stimulates numbs pain and creates warm, fuzzy feelings of trust and intimacy. And in mothers, it triggers lactation. Is there anything it can't do?
Anyway, I'm probably boring you with the neuroscience stuff, and it's hard for a jargonhead like me to simplify it in a way most folks would get. So I'd advise you to go to the library and check out some books about the brain. Or look at Wikipedia if you must.

Despite being highly defensive, you have a great personality that I wish more women had these days. I've dated Asian women since high school and honestly the whole "if it ain't foreign, it's boring" thing is a Damn lie! I grew up around pretty much black chicks, but I had a thing for Asians, then I moved to Minnesota where there is a decent population of them, but my very first girl friend there was Indian.
Even though my preference is black hair, olive skin, and brown eyes, I still find my jaw dropping at just about any race, especially when it comes to personality wise.

December 4th, 2012
While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday.
Haul out the cookie tins - 'tis the season for baking! In honor of December 4, National Cookie Day, here are some tips for the ever-popular cookie exchange:
– Form a group of participants. Make sure the people swapping cookies are committed to doing so. (It's not as much fun otherwise!)
– Establish a date for the swap as early as you can, before the holidays get hectic.
– You could also assign each person a country and have them make a cookie that represents their designated foreign land. Think Lebkuchen from Germany, or Madeleines from France.
– Set a few ground rules: How many cookies is each person bringing to eat at the exchange? How many cookies is each person bringing to actually exchange and send home with others? Usually a half dozen per person to exchange, and a full dozen to eat on the day works well.
– If you're hosting, try to find a cookie tin for each participant so they can take their loot home easily.
– Consider baking an extra dozen to donate to a local bake sale or shelter.
– Make sure to take allergies into account - nothing ruins the holidays like a trip to the ER. Cookies can be lactose-, nut- and gluten-free.
– Don't forget recipe cards so attendees can recreate their favorite cookie.

A month ago today I vowed to try something new every day in January. Despite my complete disbelief in New Year's resolutions, I created a list of must-tries (from sea urchin to spinning) and set out to check them off, one by one.
Now here I am, the day before my set end date – plenty of "new" under my belt – feeling, well, completely unprepared to let go of this little adventure I've just begun. But before I bring on the sap – behold, a look at my final week:
I turned off my phone for a day – and detoxed from Facebook, too. Going Facebook-free was easy, but phone-free? For lack of a better word, it was strangely lonely. (A sign to try a phone detox more often, I think.)
I gave blood. And failed. So, to clarify, I attempted to give blood. Halfway through the donation, I got lightheaded and the technician (a Josh Hartnett clone with a fondness for Twilight one-liners) told me I would need to stop. The blood I had given wasn't enough to be deemed useful. It was a (disappointing) testament to the fact that – as valiant as our efforts are – we all have limits.
I vowed to eat clean. In other words: only simple, whole ingredients that grandma can recognize. As part of this, I tried satsuma, a kind of citrus fruit (thanks, Whole Foods), and learned how to seed a pomegranate.
I wrote my name in Elvish. Yes, a stretch, but amazing what you can learn on the Internet these days. (Try it, then go ahead: indulge in Second Breakfast.)
I did Paint Nite, which is, basically, a wine-fueled group painting class. My lack of artistic ability has never been so apparent, so I've taken the liberty to instead show off my friend's skills, above.
I ate dinner at a restaurant alone. Okay, okay, I holed up at my favorite little Chinatown enclave and got my Bibimbap fix, book in hand. A far cry from going solo with white tablecloths, but… baby steps.
Now, where to from here? Not back to my pre-January rut, that's for sure. The simple act of choosing the new (no matter how small) over the comfortable has been seriously invigorating. I've learned to push myself out of my comfort zone, to make every day count.
So I've gone ahead and made another vow: I vow to shake up my year. And I urge you to try it, too. Nay, not 365 Days of New (which I can imagine would be quite fund-depleting), but one new experience a week until the ball drops and 2014 is upon us.
Skydiving? Bring it.

Activists say R-word and N-word equally offensive
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
Advocates who consider the Washington professional football team nickname racist and offensive believe that change eventually will come, but not without constant pressure on the team owner to do so. Since purchasing the team in 1999, billionaire Daniel Snyder consistently says he will not change the original nickname given by the team's founder in the early 1930s. Some argue that Washington's annual estimated revenue — at $245 million — is largely based on team merchandise and other apparel that feature a racially insensitive logo. But Snyder strongly contends that most fans support him and often refers to a 2004 Annenberg poll of mostly White respondents that found that nearly 90 percent of those polled were not offended by the name. "There is now a national conversation — politicians, journalists, sports figures, activists and leaders of all races — coming together to stand with Indian people in pursuit of respect and dignity," proclaimed U.S. Congresswoman Betty McCollum
(D-Minn.) last week at a November 5 forum at the University of Minnesota. Continue Reading →
