From Edmunds.com
"How could you leave off Bullitt?!" "Where is Duel?" "Do Elvis and Viva Las Vegas mean nothing?"
We must have started with at least 30 solid candidates and whittled it down via heated exchanges and fisticuffs. That meant horror films such as Christine and The Car ended up losing the fight, as did favorites, including Two-Lane Blacktop and Smokey and the Bandit.
But where's the iconic '68 Ford Mustang Fastback? Bullitt's simply not that great of a movie. And to see the famous car-chase action, you need to weed through about two-thirds of inaction. Which brings us to another controversy: Where's Ronin? The Bourne Identity? The Italian Job? Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry? If this was Top 10 Best Car Chases, they'd be here.
Duel and The California Kid were made for TV but we opted to focus on theatrical releases. And sorry - Viva Las Vegas and Spinout seemed more like Elvis musicals that happened to have cars than car movies that happened to have Elvis.
Here are our picks for all-around good car flicks, listed in no particular order. Plus, we've included our favorite catchphrases. These DVDs are available for purchase on Amazon.com (with the exception of Cars, which has not yet been released on DVD).

International Farmall Shirts
There are no products matching the selection.
I wanted to write to say how much I appreciate shopping at workingperson.com. Despite the holidays Stephanie was pleasant, very helpful, and personally ran to the storage area to verify that my order was on hand. She even expedited delivery to ensure delivery by Christmas. The prices were lower than any other sites I had encountered and they had an extensive selection. And the best part is that my husband LOVES all his gear! These days, marginal or poor customer service is the norm, but this experience far exceeded my expectations in every aspect of the transaction. I cannot say enough good things about your representatives and the company, and will definitely be a repeat customer. All the best in 2007! Bravo!!!"

Oral Corticosteroids for Atopic Dermatitis
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Pediapred, Prelone
How It Works
Corticosteroids are similar to natural substances the body produces to help reduce inflammation and itching. For atopic dermatitis, corticosteroids reduce inflammation, itching, and thickening of the skin (lichenification).
Why It Is Used
Oral corticosteroids are generally not recommended for controlling atopic dermatitis. They are used only for severe cases of atopic dermatitis or when topical agents (creams and ointments) and antihistamines have not worked.
How Well It Works
Oral corticosteroids are often effective in reducing inflammation and itching. A high initial dose usually gets rid of the rash quickly.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor if you have:
- Hives.
- Signs of an infection, such as a sore throat, fever, sneezing, or coughing.
- Belly pain, nausea, or vomiting that won't go away.
- Bloody or black, tarry stools.
- Rapid weight gain.
- Changes in your eyes, including blurred vision or eye pain.
- Muscle cramps, pain, or weakness.
- Changes in skin, including acne or reddish purple lines.
- Increased thirst, especially with frequent urination.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Increased appetite.
- Nervousness or restlessness.
- Headache.
- Indigestion.
- Increased risk of infection.
Side effects from long-term use can include:
- Cataracts , cloudy areas in the lens of the eye.
- Osteoporosis , a progressive disease that causes bones to become thin and porous, increasing the risk for vertebrae and hip fractures.
- Diabetes , a disease in which the body either does not produce or is unable to use insulin properly.
- Cushing's syndrome , a disorder caused by excessive amounts of the hormone cortisol in the blood.
- Avascular necrosis (osteonecrosis), a decrease or stoppage of blood to tissue, especially to one hip.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Corticosteroids are usually used in combination with preventive measures, such as moisturizing your skin and avoiding skin irritants.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
Women who use this medicine during pregnancy have a slightly higher chance of having a baby with birth defects. If you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant, you and your doctor must weigh the risks of using this medicine against the risks of not treating your condition.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Save $$ Using Compatible Ink and Toner
Business is all about increasing your bottom line. One simple, but often overlooked, way to do this is to use ink and toner that is compatible with your printer. Toner is required for printing with laser printers and copiers, while ink is used for traditional printers and copiers. While toner is usually more expensive than ink, replacing either toner or ink with compatible toner and ink from vendors other than the printer's manufacturer can help your business save a substantial amount of money.
Printers often come equipped with starter ink and toner made by the manufacturer; however, when it is time to replace the ink and toner, you may want to opt for compatible ink or compatible toner that may not be made by the manufacturer of the printer, but can still deliver the same high-quality results. Ink and toner cartridges are not cheap, and typically account for a significant percentage of the overall cost of a printer. In fact, some toner cartridges are so expensive that it is actually cheaper to purchase a new printer when the starter toner runs out than to purchase replacement toner. Rather than purchasing a new printer, there is a more feasible alternative. Making a simple change to compatible ink or toner can save money in the short run and over the life of the printer. But how do you know what ink or toner is compatible with your printer?
Compatible ink and toner is just like name-brand ink and toner. They are manufactured according to the OEM cartridge specifications, which will enable you to easily find which ink or toner is right for your printer. The main reason why the compatible ink and toner can be purchased at a reduced cost is simply because they do not have the brand name that is attached to the much more expensive toner and ink—that's it. Many compatible ink and toner refills are also manufactured in certified facilities to ensure the consumer receives products of the highest quality. Contrary to popular belief, using compatible ink and toner for your printer will also not void any warranty that comes with your printer. Start saving money today. Opt for compatible ink and toner!

To say that Dec. 8 was a special night for Oldham County High School athletics might be a bit of an understatement.
Though both the boys and girls teams picked up big wins in their respective games of the Ronald McDonald Classic — a fundraising game the Colonels have hosted for a decade — they also honored former basketball coach Gary Forrest with a banner recognizing his contributions to the program.
In fitting manner, it transpired during the event that Forrest founded and participated in for a number of years.

Walder Rivers
this wiki
- "We will do whatever we can to give Lord Frey what he needs"."
- ―Robb Stark
Walder Frey is a character who debuted in the third season. He is being portrayed by Tim Plester. He is known as Black Walder for his temper and demeanor. He is the great-grandson of his namesake Lord Walder Frey, Lord of the Crossing and head of House Frey.
Season 3
Black Walder and Lothar Frey are sent to Riverrun by Lord Walder Frey to negotiate with Robb Stark the terms for the Frey's re-entry into the Northern army. Black Walder bluntly demands that Harrenhal and all its attended lands to be inherited by House Frey for Robb Stark's "betrayal" in breaking his oath. Black Walder further demands that Edmure Tully be engaged to one of Lord Walder Freys's daughters, with the pair to be married within the fortnight due to the fact that Lord Walder had become wary of long engagements after his recent experience with Robb Stark. Before taking their leave, the pair demanded a response to their terms before they departed for the Twins the following morning.[1]

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Black Walder is a stout and wiry man with a black beard, who inspires terror in those around him.
Black Walder's father, Ryman, is the eldest son of Ser Stevron Frey, who is himself the eldest son, and heir, of Lord Walder Frey. Thus Ryman's three sons - Edwyn, Black Walder, and Petyr - are the presumptive future heirs of House Frey (which includes over a hundred direct descendants of Lord Walder). At the beginning of the first novel, Black Walder is fifth in line to succeed Lord Walder, behind his grandfather Stevron, his father Ryman, his older brother Edwyn and Edwyn's daughter Walda. While Edwyn is ahead of Black Walder in the line of succession, he is not a fierce warrior like Black Walder is, and the two of them are constantly jockeying for power and favor within the family. As a result, Black Walder is one of the more prominent members of House Frey.
Black Walder is known to be resolute and easy to anger, being feared by many among his own family. He is rumored to have maintained numerous affairs with several women, including cousins and the wives of his close relations.
In the books Lothar is accompanied by his bastard half-brother Walder Rivers to Riverrun.

May 6, 2016
Third District Republican Congressman Walter Jones says if Congress would have dealt with the problems facing our nation, we wouldn't have a fiscal cliff.
Congressman Jones comments came Thursday as the deadline to reach a deal or face automatic spending cuts and tax hikes is only days away.
President Barack Obama will meet with Congressional leaders at the White House Friday. Even so, there is plenty of concern here in the east. Richard Weir is a teacher and says, "I worry any cuts like that may affect education. That's my livelihood, and also we have to have a strong educational system."
James Huffman told us, "It seems like we have an insatiable appetite to spend more money then as for the debt ceiling to be raised- that's not the way to fix it."
Congressman Jones says the real fix will take time, but they have to start with compromise. Jones says, "The people in eastern North Carolina are tired of a Congress that is dysfunctional.
With no one willing to bend, Jones says the best we can hope for now is something we've seen before: A deadline extension.
Congress is back in session this Sunday.

First of all, this chapter just delays information about Shikaku's brilliant plan. We barely see anyone react to their HQ getting destroyed. Only a few people are actually of any help here and they just seemingly stand there while the Hyuga help Naruto. The Hyuga helping Naruto just seems like something Kishimoto threw in as an afterthought going 'oh yeah, those guys, they should get some screen time'. Did he honestly think we'd get new respect for Neji just with Narutos off-hand comment?
Madara's revelation that one can't be a Jinchuriki as an Edo Tensei was not surprising and it's something I, and I'm sure a lot more, have speculated about FOR MONTHS.
Did Kishimoto honestly think we'd care about Neji's death? He's been seen in the Chunin Exams, where he was an obnoxious ****, and then he showed some growth when he fought the amazing Spider-man, and then he had a funny scene in the beginning of Shippuden, but that's it! Minor characters just aren't as interesting anymore due to lack of screen time and relevance because of the messed up power levels. Not only that, but he just shielded Naruto from two out of thousands of spikes. What kind of death is that? At least if Hiashi had done it it would've served some kind of purpose, like saving his brother's son, as his brother saved him. Not to mention the whole 'letting the next generation take over' which is supposedly a major theme. Now he just stood there.
The only saving grace to this chapter was Obito's and Madaras argument. While it is ALSO something that has been predicted for a long time now, it was at least portrayed well.
how about his eternal rival lee..... no longer to happen just want to see their sparring hard fists ar gentle fists
Obito will revive everyone with Rinne Tense jutsu, after he becomes the Ten tail Jinchuriki. Thats my prediction.
Rip neji hyuuga!!! U̶̲̥̅̊ were a true genius!!! Uя̩ death will neva be i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ vain!!!
My next prediction is dat
1. Naruto is gonna take neji's eyes!!
2. Obito is gonna **** madara up!!!
3. Naruto will develop gr8 feelins 2wards hinata cos of wat neji said!!!
4. Naruto iss gonna get a power up!!!
Thats all Fδя ήoω!!!
Emotional chapter indeed.
oooooh why every one is dieing no and why dont they let me know ehat happened to Gaara don't you ever think of killing him again kishi you killed enough character s
Now that I think about it although it still makes me cry I guess somebody had to die to push naruto over the edge. Hinata was going to give her life but because it was Neji job to protect her he took her place. I think its so that Naruto can be with her in the end.
Next we will see a Different Hinata, If she was an Uchihan she would get an EMS but as a Hyuga, i Believe something diffferent will happen.
i think kishi is planning to make naurto bijuu's jinchurki,,,since

even Asuma death was more epic and i thought Neji was more important, at least to readers. should not even mention epicness of Kisame, because its hard to match that one
p.s. hi by the way
p.s. 2 i intended registration long time ago just to tell you people to stop voting on this retarded quality poll. you read his manga for free and you should not rate it, just of sheer politeness towards author. in addition, its stupid to rate separate chapters. i was always strongly against comparing Lord of the Rings movies. but this here is even more. maybe start rating separate frames or textboxes now huh? again, a polite gtfo with this poll
*Tears rolling down the cheek * first itach then jiraiya,asuma,the kages, the 3rd, shikaku, and now neeeeji ! Of all people kishimoto, am so sober
good chapter..
and finally some good casualty.
All the people to kill off and kill Neji! Bull...Shit
Hats off to Neji, one of my favorite characters.... a moment of silence...........
So Kish has finally started killing off his 11. I'm proud of you kish, Naruto is not becoming DBZ. But as a side critique it took the 10 tails to kill off one of the 11???? Oh well maybe you could say that Neji was just that good.
I think next week Hinata awakens the mangykyo byakugan!

That little bit of sunshine we've been squeezing out this morning is what "unsettles" me a touch. The atmosphere is ripe for some THUNDERSTORMS, and the sunshine destabilizes things further.

DanTheTimid wrote:Lastly, why exactly is your attack target randomly chosen? This weakens the strategy of the game alot and unnecessarily injects a large amount of luck into determining the winner. Is there a good reason why my target is chosen randomly? I can understand letting the attacker choose the target or the defender choose the target, both are things you can strategically prepare for, but making it random takes away most of that strategy and is something I can see leading to alot of frustration due to bad luck. I just don't really see a good reason for this to occur.
First, do I only attack those directly infront of me, or in the entire row infront of me. For example, my card has range 1 and my opponent has 2 cards in his front row, ones directly in front of my card, ones to the front right. Are both cards considered in my range or just the one directly in front of me?
Second, based on the FAQ range is base on enemies position and not on row. So does this mean my cards in my back row with range 1 are still capable of attacking a card in my opponents back row assuming there are no other opponents cards in the first 2 rows?

AKG (alpha-ketoglutarate) is the nitrogen-free portion of the amino acids known as glutamine and glutamic acid. It is formed in the Krebs cycle, the energy-producing process that occurs in most body cells. AKG is used by cells during growth and in healing from injuries and other wounds,1 and is especially important in the healing of muscle tissue.2 A controlled study found that intravenous AKG prevented a decline in protein synthesis in the muscles of patients recovering from surgery.3, 4 For these reasons, it has been speculated that oral AKG supplements might help improve strength or muscle-mass gains by weightlifters, but no research has been done to test this theory.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings.

- "He's a great wizard, Barty Crouch, powerfully magical - and power-hungry."
- —Sirius Black[src]
Bartemius "Barty" Crouch Senior (d. 24 May, 1995) was Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement during the First Wizarding War, but demoted to the Head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation afterwards. He had a reputation for "fighting fire with fire;" exhibiting the same sort of ruthlessness and brutality against criminals as some Death Eaters did against their victims. As he and his son were the last of the pure-blood Crouch family, it is nearly certain that he was the son of Caspar Crouch, by wife Charis Black. He was eventually killed by his Death Eater son, Barty Crouch Jr., who despised him.
Early life
- "Should have spent a bit more time at home with his family, shouldn't he? Ought to have left the office early once in a while... gotten to know his own son."
- —Sirius Black on Barty Crouch Sr.[src]
Nothing is known about Bartemius's childhood, though it is possible that he was the son of Caspar and Charis Crouch. If so, he had two sisters. At an unknown time, he got a job at the Ministry of Magic.
He was married to a "wispy-looking little witch", and they had a son, who was named after him, Barty Crouch Jr. Crouch quickly rose through the ranks of the Ministry of Magic and became the judge on the Council of Magical Law whilst heading the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Crouch spent much of his life in his career, and as such, did not pay enough attention to his family, especially his son.
First Wizarding War
During the downfall of the Death Eaters in the First Wizarding War, he convicted several of them to life imprisonment in Azkaban, including Sirius Black, who was sent to Azkaban without trial. He authorised Aurors to use the Unforgivable Curses on their opponents if necessary, and went under the principles of "kill rather than capture" and "attack first, ask questions later". Crouch oversaw a trial where he had the Death Eater Igor Karkaroff set free in exchange for the names of several other Death Eaters, including Augustus Rookwood. He also oversaw the trial of Ludo Bagman, but much to Crouch's fury, the Council cleared Bagman of all charges, though it should be noted that Bagman was merely an unknowing dupe rather than an actual Death Eater. Although Crouch's tactics were cruel, most people believed that he was doing the right thing, as there would be no way to defeat Lord Voldemort otherwise. Many people predicted that Crouch would be the next Minister for Magic, since Albus Dumbledore refused the position multiple times.
- Barty Crouch Jr.: "I'm your son! I'm your son!"
- Barty Crouch Sr.: "You are no son of mine! I have no son!"
- — The final exchange between Barty Sr. and Barty Jr. before Barty Jr. was taken to Azkaban along with Bellatrix, Rodolphus, and Rabastan Lestrange.[src]
However, after Lord Voldemort's fall, Crouch got news that his own son had helped drive two Aurors - Alice and Frank Longbottom - insane through use of the Cruciatus Curse alongside with the three Lestrange Death Eaters, trying to learn where their master was in hiding. A trial being the closest to fatherly affection he can give, Crouch did not make any difference for it despite his son being among the convicts. Ignoring his son and wife's pleas, as well as the apparently not completely certain evidence that his son was guilty in the first place (it was later stated that there was some ambiguity about whether his son had taken part in the torture or merely been in the wrong place at the wrong time), he sentenced all four Death Eaters to Azkaban for life; his decision was met with the roaring approval of the court.
Hiding his son
For one as a favour to his dying wife, Crouch smuggled their son out of Azkaban. His wife, in failing health, used Polyjuice Potion to pose as Barty Jr. in the prison cell until she died. Because of the public reaction after his "son" died, Crouch Sr. lost his popularity and chance to become Minister for Magic and was shunted sideways to the Department of International Magical Cooperation, with Cornelius Fudge succeeding Millicent Bagnold as Minister instead. Crouch Jr would later claim that his father saved him only as a favour for his wife, and that Crouch Sr himself "loved her as he never loved [his son]", though due to Crouch Jr's mental instability and biased hatred for his father at the time, it is possible that Barty Sr loved his son more than it appears, as he was able to sacrifice his wife into spending her last days in a place like Azkaban for their son's sake, and risk his own position in the Ministry despite his hatred for the Dark Arts and all who practice them.
Crouch took his real son home, where for twelve years he was placed under house arrest via the Imperius Curse, hidden under an Invisibility cloak. As he never went to retrieve his wife's body from Azkaban, he staged her death, shortly after his son's assumed death. Crouch held a quiet, private funeral for his wife with an empty grave.
Discovery and aftermath
At some point while serving as Department Head, a Ministry worker named Bertha Jorkins called at the Crouch home with Ministry paperwork. Crouch was out, but Bertha heard the family house-elf, Winky, talking to Barty Crouch Jr. She heard enough to guess that it was Crouch Jr. hiding under an Invisibility cloak.
Upon his arrival home, Crouch assessed the situation and, fearing exposure, cast an extremely powerful Memory Charm on her, which accidentally caused Bertha some brain damage, although it was not noticeable except for a new tendency of forgetfulness. Bertha went to work for Ludo Bagman at the Department of Magical Games and Sports.
Quidditch World Cup
Some time later, Winky convinced Crouch to take her and Barty to the Quidditch World Cup final, which was being held in England that year. Crouch remained in his tent while Winky took Barty, hidden under an Invisibility cloak, up to a top box. She covered her eyes for the duration of the match because she was so afraid of heights. Barty, however, had awoken from the Imperius Curse and proceeded to steal Harry Potter's wand from his pocket, as Harry was sitting right in front of the invisible Barty. He later used Harry's wand to cast Morsmordre.
Crouch saw the effect the spell had - the Dark Mark was hovering overhead - and hurried to the place where it had just been cast. It was there that he found Harry, Ron and Hermione, as well as Winky in the bushes nearby with Harry's wand. Crouch also found his invisible son on the ground, unconscious. Crouch publicly dismissed Winky (ostensibly for disgracing him, but in reality for failing to supervise his son). After the witnesses to Winky's dismissal left, Crouch recast the Imperius Curse on Barty and returned home.Meanwhile, Lord Voldemort had found and tortured Bertha Jorkins into telling him vital information about the present state of the Ministry, including the fact that Barty was alive and still loyal to the Dark Lord. Wormtail and Voldemort travelled to the Crouch home, placed the Imperius Curse on Crouch himself and removed Barty to a separate location.
The Triwizard Tournament and death
Crouch was ordered to go to work and do all his usual jobs as if nothing had happened. This included becoming one of the judges in the Triwizard Tournament, which he, as the head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, had helped plan out. When Crouch, along with Ludo Bagman, came to Hogwarts, Crouch was unable to get as much applause as Bagman did, probably partly because he was not a very pleasant-looking man. While this was happening, Crouch's son was also in Hogwarts, impersonating Alastor Moody and plotting to help his master rise to power. Crouch showed no sign of surprise, exhaustion or any emotion at all when the name of Harry Potter came from the Goblet of Fire, as a part of Voldemort's plan. Presumably due to Voldemort's influence, Crouch insisted that any person whose name came out of the Goblet had to compete in the tournament.
- "Yes. After a while he began to fight the Imperius Curse just as I had done. There were periods when he knew what was happening. My master decided it was no longer safe for my father to leave the house. He forced him to send letters to the Ministry instead. He made him write and say he was ill. But Wormtail neglected his duty. He was not watchful enough. My father escaped. My master guessed that he was heading for Hogwarts. My father was going to tell Dumbledore everything, to confess. He was going to admit that he had smuggled me from Azkaban."
- —Barty Crouch Jr. confessing under the effects of Veritaserum.[src]
Crouch soon started to resist the Imperius Curse, just like his son had done during his time under Crouch's control. Voldemort, fearing that people would become suspicious, ordered him to stay home and write letters, saying he was sick, with his duties as a Tournament judge being primarily carried out by Percy Weasley. This brought suspicion to some people, such as Sirius Black, who knew that Barty would never take a day off work simply because of illness.
Eventually Crouch escaped and fled towards Hogwarts to warn Dumbledore about Voldemort's plans. Exhausted and slightly mad from the effects of Voldemort's mind-controlling spells, he staggered through the Forbidden Forest onto the Hogwarts grounds, eventually coming across Harry and Viktor Krum. Crouch's resisting of Voldemort's spells caused him to continuously talk to a nearby tree, thinking it was his assistant "Weatherby" and to think his wife and son were still alive and well. In a short sane state, Crouch asked to speak to Dumbledore, claiming that it was "all his fault". While Harry went to get him, Barty Jr. arrived (as Alastor Moody) and stunned Krum. Barty Jr. killed his father and transfigured the corpse into a bone, burying it in Rubeus Hagrid's garden.
Barty Crouch, Jr. was later captured and admitted, under the influence of Veritaserum, to having murdered his father. Soon afterwards, he was subjected to the Dementor's Kiss.
Personality and traits
- "A wizard had just Apparated at their fireside, and he could not have made more of a contrast with Ludo Bagman, sprawled on the grass in his old Wasp robes. Barty Crouch was a stiff, upright, elderly man, dressed in an impeccably crisp suit and tie. The parting in his short grey hair was almost unnaturally straight, and his narrow toothbrush moustache looked as though he trimmed it using a slide rule. His shoes were very highly polished. Harry could see at once why Percy idolized him. Percy was a great believer in rigidly following rules, and Mr. Crouch had complied with the rule about Muggle dressing so thoroughly that he could have passed for a bank manager; Harry doubted even Uncle Vernon would have spotted him for what he really was."
- —Harry's observations of Crouch's appearance[src]
Crouch was a highly intelligent and powerful wizard, but he was also somewhat megalomaniacal and intensely preoccupied with presenting the appearance of respectability. He was a narrow, inflexible man who stiffly followed the rules. Crouch took his job very seriously and would never miss work for anything, be it family or sickness, which led Sirius to suspect something was wrong when Crouch started to take days off under Lord Voldemort's bewitchment. Crouch was also known to speak a large amount of languages. Crouch was known to be immaculate in his personal grooming and wore a silver pocket watch during his tenure as Head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation.
Although Crouch despised the Dark Arts, the lengths that he was willing to go in order to disassociate with anything that might blemish his reputation often led him to behave as cruelly as many of Lord Voldemort's followers. He "fought violence with violence", and gave Aurors the powers to kill instead of capture. He was also known to send people to Azkaban prison without a trial. He sometimes was as brutal as some of the worst Death Eaters. But he detested the Dark Arts to the point that he sent his own son to the dementors of Azkaban upon being suspected of being a Death Eater. His fatherly affection for his own son only stretched enough to give him a trial. Crouch spoke over two hundred languages, including Mermish, Gobbledegook and Trolls. Many of these traits earned Crouch the admiration of his assistant "Weatherby."
Despite his authoritarian nature, he loved his wife immensely, and was persuaded by her to break the son out of Azkaban. The son believed it was because the father had always loved his wife more than he had ever loved him, but this was the truth only in the son's eyes - not necessarily the accurate truth. Barty was also willing to use the Imperius Curse, one of the darkest of magics, in order to restrain his son from returning to Lord Voldemort and to protect him from being revealed and sent back to Azkaban, and as the curse makes its victim feel happy and careless, the father likely used it also to make up for the mental torture he had abandoned him into for a year, as the curse gave the son a relative peace of mind. Barty appeared to have a certain respect for Harry Potter due to his defeat of Voldemort, stating on one occasion at the Quidditch World Cup that Harry was the only person present- in a group including other Ministry officials such as Amos Diggory- less likely to have cast the Dark Mark than himself.
Magical abilities and skills
- "Couldn't do me a brew, I suppose? I'm keeping an eye out for Barty Crouch. My Bulgarian opposite number's making difficulties, and I can't understand a word he's saying. Barty'll be able to sort it out. He speaks about a hundred and fifty languages."
- —Ludo Bagman speaking with the Weasley's at the Quidditch World Cup[src]
Crouch was considered a great wizard, and was noted by Sirius Black as "powerfully magical."
- Imperius Curse: Despite despising the Dark Arts, Crouch was capable of casting an immensely powerful Imperius Curse. Indeed, Crouch's own son, a Death Eater and practitioner of Dark Magic, took twelve years to build up enough resistance to break free of his father's power.
- Memory Charm: Crouch was also capable of using a Memory Charm to such a high degree that the power of the charm he placed on Bertha Jorkins left her brain permanently damaged, though subtle enough that it appeared she was simply an exceptionally forgetful individual; this overpowering effect was due to his lack of training in the art of erasing memories.
- Imperius Curse resistance: Crouch quickly built up a resistance to the Imperius Curse placed on him by Lord Voldemort, after less than a year under its influence, although the effort left him somewhat delirious. This indicated that he possessed a stronger will than his son, who had taken a lot longer to overcome the curse his father had put on him. However it was possible that because Voldemort's powers were still relatively weak at the time, he was not able to use the Imperius Curse at full power.
- Magical multilinguist: Like Albus Dumbledore, Crouch was capable of speaking the language of a variety of magical beings. In fact, Crouch was noted to speak over two-hundred different languages, including Bulgarian and those of the merpeople, goblins, and trolls.
Wife and son
- Barty Crouch Jr.: "Hello Father!"
- Barty Crouch Sr.: "You are no son of mine."
- — Bartemius Crouch Jr. talking to his father when he is being arrested.[src]
Bartemius didn't pay enough attention to his son, until the day Crouch Jr. was caught in the company of three Death Eaters after the torture of Alice and Frank Longbottom. Crouch Sr. gave his son little more than the courtesy of a trial, something he did not always give other suspects, and oversaw it personally. In the end, Crouch Sr. merely used the trial to publicly disown his son, and showed no mercy as he sent him to Azkaban. However, he fulfilled his wife's dying wish and smuggled their son back out, keeping him hidden at home under the Imperius Curse for several years. This proved Crouch's undoing, as Lord Voldemort learned of the whereabouts of his servant and freed him, turning the tables on Crouch Sr. by Imperiusing him instead. Although Crouch eventually escaped, he was murdered by his own son when he attempted to warn Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore of what had happened.
His son felt like Barty Sr. loved his wife more than he had ever loved his son, but this was only the truth in the son's eyes and not necessarily the accurate truth. However, Barty Sr. seemed to put his public image first, as despite his son's pleas, he still sentenced him to Azkaban for life. But then again, the book doesn't reveal what happened before the trial moment. At the time of the trial, his mind may have not even recognized the young man as his son if the evidence against the boy was undeniable enough. Dumbledore lets on there was generally some doubt if Barty Jr. had been guilty or just in the wrong place at the wrong time, but this was only Dumbledore's point of view while he may not have known all the evidence. However, the love for his wife and son allowed Barty Sr. to be persuaded by her dying wish to smuggle their son out of prison, in exchange of her.
Winky the house-elf is an extremely devoted servant of Barty Crouch Sr.. She is very willing to help her master take care of his renegade son, and even obeyed his orders to stay on the Quidditch World Cup's top box, despite her acrophobia. Her loyalty may surpass the mere magic-bound duty of an average house-elf.
Barty, in turn, treated Winky with no respect, and considered her nothing more than a slave. When she failed to restrain Barty Jr., Barty Sr. dismissed her, and thought of her as nothing as more than "something filthy contaminating his over-shined shoes" when she was screaming and begging for mercy at his feet. Winky was devastated by this dismissal, considered it a disgrace to her mother and grandmother, and this devastation worsened when she heard that Crouch was murdered by his own son.
Percy Weasley
- "Enjoying it? I don't reckon he'd come home if Dad didn't make him. He's obsessed. Just don't get him onto the subject of his boss. According to Mr. Crouch ... as I was saying to Mr. Crouch ... Mr. Crouch is of the opinion ... Mr. Crouch was telling me ... They'll be announcing their engagement any day now."
- —Ron discussing with Harry Percy's new job with Crouch.[src]
Percy Weasley worked for Bartemius Crouch during 1994-1995. Percy had several traits in common with Mr. Crouch's personality, namely his love for the rules and procedure, as well as respect for authority. Because of this, Percy idolised Bartemius in many ways and even got into arguments with people over some of Crouch's decisions. Although he was a small individual in Crouch's division, Percy spoke highly of him and always talked as if they knew each other very well. Despite Percy's similar nature, Mr. Crouch did not know his name or any other details about him, and continuously referred to him as "Weatherby." Percy was, however, close enough to take over for Barty as the judge in the second task, but later got in trouble for not noticing his superior was losing his sanity. How Percy reacted when he found out that Crouch broke his son out of prison and then lost his sanity is unknown.
- The name Bartemius originates from the Biblical name Bartimaeus, who was permanently blind all his life, until Jesus healed him. Reasons for naming after a blind man may be due to the fact Bartemius was quite oblivious to his family until his position of authority lowered. Crouch is a word which mean to stoop, particularly with the knees bent. This name may have been chosen due to how Crouch walked with a cane, and slightly hunches over a bit.
Behind the scenes
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Crouch is portrayed as a somewhat more cheerful character and a generally more likeable man. He congratulates Harry after the latter successfully completes the Second Task, but Barty, in the guise of Moody, interrupts their heartful conversation, asking whether Crouch was trying to get Harry into a summer internship at the Ministry. At this point, Crouch sees Moody twitch like Barty Jr, and actually seems to recognise it as his son. Instead of arriving in Hogwarts driven half-insane and subsequently disappearing, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Hagrid later find Crouch dead in the Forbidden Forest.
- Also in the film, Dumbledore said that it destroyed Crouch to send his son to Azkaban. In the book, however, he seemed fully willing to do it and had no regrets about it. But the truth about the accurate case on that wasn't revealed. Also, the film version had no mention of Crouch's or the mother's part in his son's escape from Azkaban.
- In the film of The Goblet of Fire, Crouch was portrayed by Roger Lloyd-Pack who is best known for his roles as Trigger in Only Fools and Horses and Owen Newitt in the Vicar of Dibley. Lloyd Pack also appears in the revamped Doctor Who series episodes Rise of the Cybermen and Age of Steel along with David Tennant (who plays Barty Crouch Jr. in the Goblet of Fire film). In the latter appearance, the respective actors' roles are reversed however, with Tennant playing the main hero and Lloyd Pack playing a villain. Lloyd-Pack played John Lumic (ambitious leader of Cybus industries, formed his own version of the Cybermen) while Tennant played the Doctor
- In the novel, Crouch constantly refers to Percy Weasley as "Weatherby". This is very similar to Roger Lloyd-Pack's Only Fools and Horses character Trigger, who constantly refers to Rodney as "Dave". This is not seen in the film, as Percy was cut.
- Due to Percy's omission, Crouch Sr. took over the roles Percy had in the book of attending the Yule Ball and Second Task for the film. In the book, Crouch Sr. had disappeared due to a supposed "illness", which was actually him being placed under the Imperius Curse by Lord Voldemort and had to be hidden away due to signs of Crouch Sr. being able to resist it. It was through falsified letters that Percy took over the responsibilities in Mr. Crouch's place for those tasks in the book.
- It is a possibility that Crouch was a Slytherin and fought the Dark Arts only because he wanted to gain power in the ministry just like Merlin who fought for Muggle rights despite being a Slytherin. Crouch was power hungry and ambitious, he was the type of person who is most likely to be sorted in Slytherin.

African Barrick Gold (ABG) has announced the completion of a key stage of the North Mara Co-existence Plan, which has been developed to continue to improve community relations and the social licence to operate at its North Mara Mine.
It has recently signed individual agreements with all seven villages surrounding the North Mara mine, which provide for an investment of USD8.5m over the next three years in the local communities and significant progress made in the provision of alternative livelihoods.
A statement issued by the world's leading gold firm said the agreements include two new village benefit agreements with the villages of Nyakunguru and Matongo that did not previously have formal agreements in place, together with implementation agreements with each of the five villages (Nyangoto, Kewanja, Matongo, Kerende, Genkuru and Nyamwaga) that had previously signed agreements with North Mara in 1995/96.
The form of investment in each of the villages will differ, but includes the development of school infrastructure, provision of clean water, the upgrading of a local health centre to a hospital level where it will receive national funding, rehabilitation of village offices, improvements to the road infrastructure and extension of overhead electricity lines.
According to the statement the pacts are a product of company's commitment to meaningful dialogue and investment in local communities and the efforts of local stakeholders to reach mutually beneficial agreements.
Another key pillar of this dialogue has been the joint investigation of alternative livelihoods for those who live in communities around the mine, as a result ABG has signed an MoU between the mine and Nyabigena Mining and Cooperative Society for provision of fogging services to the mine's residential facilities, the statement said.
The company also awarded a contract to a local contractor for the supply of clean drinking water to local villages, funded by the mine; and created a waste collection scheme along the major village roads focused on the employment of over 90 women from the local villages.
Commenting on the news, ABG Vice President – Corporate Affairs, Deo Mwanyika said: "We are encouraged with the progress we are now making with the communities around North Mara, which is a product of the commitment of ABG and local stakeholders to sustainable development to improve the quality of life in the communities where we operate."

I am very excited to tell you about My Memories and their digital scrapbook software today. Their software allows you to create scrapbook-style pages from your computer. They have tons of free templates to choose from or you can start from scratch to design your own templates.
The favorite thing about this software is how versatile it is in creating a variety of different projects. Not only can you create your own scrapbook, but you can create your own greeting cards, invitations, calendars, blogger background designs and headers, and so much more! The software even has an option to create a slide show with music! You can have your pages printed and bound in a book, print them from your own computer, or save them as a JPG file and use them digitally.
Every year for Christmas I make a calendar as a gift for my siblings and I typically use an online company. My biggest complaint about those companies is how unappealing their background pages are. When I heard about this scrapbook software and it's ability to create your own custom calendars I squealed with delight! I have been working away at it the last couple days and I've completed my own calendar pages. Here is a little sample.
I found the software so simple to use and navigate through. I used their Help section a couple times and found it really useful for any questions I had. Although the software came with tons of free backgrounds and embellishments, I decided to purchase the "It Happened This Year" pack from their website to create my calendar pages. I was so surprised with how much I received with the pack for only $3.59. I have bought scrapbook supplies in the past and know how pricey they are, so imagine how pleased I was to get so much for only a couple dollars. Plus, they had pages of Free packs you can download without having to purchase anything.
Now that I've been introduced to this software my list keeps growing with ideas of how to use it. I KNOW you will feel the same way about it!
My Memories has been so gracious to give away one software package to one lucky I Heart Crafty Things Reader. I know, aren't you excited?!!

Lowest Price Guarantee
The Bauer 4 Roll Elite Hockey gloves offer a great traditional design and feel at an even better value price point. The Bauer 4 roll elite glove offers a traditional 4 bar backhand design to offer a traditional hockey glove fit with generous volume throughout the glove. If you have looking for a solid traditional hockey glove and are on a budget the Bauer 4 roll elite certainly fits the bill.
The Bauer 4 roll elite hockey glove offers the design as the Bauer 4-roll pro glove but with a few key differences including, foams, palms, and liners used.
- Model Year: 2012
- Model Number: 1036954
- Heritage: 4 Roll
- Level of Play: Ideal for advanced to pro play
- Fit Guidelines: Traditional fit - Also referred to as a "volume fit" this design gives the players ample room through the glove for wrist mobility
- Sizing Guidelines: Size varies on personal preference, see sizing chart below
- Exterior:
- Lightweight stretch matrix nylon - Offers a lighter, more durable, and more breathable material then standard leather gloves.
- Protection:
- Double density foams
- Palm:
- Clarino® grey nash - Traditional hockey glove palm, that has been time tested and proven to perform
- Liner:
- Hydrophobic mesh
- Fit:
- Traditional fit - Also referred to as a "volume fit" this design gives the players ample room through the glove for wrist mobility
- Ergo construction for a natural thumb placement
- 2-piece segmented fingers
- Bauer size guidelines:
Size / Weight / Height
13" / 120-160 lbs / 5'5 -5'9"
14" / 140-180 lbs / 5'7"-5'11"
15" / 160-200 lbs / 5'9"-6'1"
Comments: I really wanted to get the 4-roll pro, but I'm glad I saved the money and got the elites instead. The double density offers great protection while being very lightweight.
As someone who has hyperextended their thumb numerous times, the ergo-thumb is exactly what I needed and still provides the movement necessary to get the job done.
With their classic look and superior protection, I cannot recommend these gloves enough.

Revision as of 00:27, February 19, 2014 by Duncan.Britton (Talk)
How to : Framebuffer: Userspace VESA VGA graphics support
Uvesafb is an improved framebuffer driver for Linux systems with some enhancements compared to vesa.
Kernel configuration
Device Drivers -> <*> Connector - unified userspace <-> kernelspace linker ---> Graphics support -> [*] Support for frame buffer devices ---> [*] Enable firmware EDID Console display driver support -> [*] Video mode selection support [*] Video mode handling helpers Frame buffer hardware drivers [*] Userspace VESA VGA graphics support
Build the kernel, do not install the kernel and modules. You can choose uvesafb as a module, unlike vesa.
Next, we emerge dev-libs/klibc (package not on wiki - please add):
# emerge klibc
This step is necessary because klibc has to be compiled against a kernel that includes uvesafb. You need to do it only once.
sys-apps/v86d (package not on wiki - please add) is the userspace helper that runs x86 code in emulated environment. Uvesafb will not work without v86d. Now, we emerge
# emerge v86d
Back to kernel configuration
Reconfigure the kernel:
General Setup-> [*] Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support (/usr/share/v86d/initramfs) Initramfs source file(s)
Rebuild the kernel: make and install it, install the modules
Bootloader configuration
video=uvesafb:1440x900-32,mtrr:3,ywrap (or similar) to your kernel command line, like in example
boot { generate grub default "Funtoo Linux uvesafb" timeout 3 } "Funtoo Linux uvesafb" { kernel bzImage-uvesafb[-v] params += video=uvesafb:1440x900-32,mtrr:3,ywrap }
Then run:
# boot-update
and then run:
# reboot
and enjoy uvesafb!
