ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos have named The Classical Academy's David Bervig NFL High School Coach of the Week. Bervig led the Class 3A Titans of the Southern League to a come-from-behind victory over Pueblo East Thursday night, allowing the Titans to maintain their perfect record. After trailing 33-17 in the last six minutes of the game, the Titans rallied to win 37-33.
"It was chaos—crazy," Bervig said. "But these kids love each other and fought."
Bervig, 43, was born in Grand Junction and graduated from Alamosa High School in 1987. He earned a history degree Adams Sate College in 1992. Along with being the first-year head coach at The Classical Academy, he is the Vice President of Human Resources for David C. Cook publishing company.
The Denver Broncos will recognize 10 High School Coach of the Week honorees during the regular season. Each weekly winner will receive a $1,000 donation from the NFL Youth Football Fund to be used in the school's football program. Additionally, during the Broncos' home game on December 30th, the NFL/Denver Broncos High School Coach of the Year will be named and presented with a $2,000 donation to the school's football program. This year's selection committee is led by Neil Devlin of the Denver Post and includes Ring of Fame Member Billy Thompson of the Denver Broncos and Andy Lindahl of KOA.

Rated 3 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 3 out of 5 by cutiegodzilla It's okay I really love almonds but on here it doesn't make it tastes any different and I can't taste the almonds. If anything it takes away from the flavor so I was a bit disappointed, especially since it looked so good. You don't get many pocky sticks in the packages even though you pay more than regular pocky. I would suggest just buying the regular chocolate one or if you want a new flavor a strawberry kind, there's a couple of strawberry flavors. February 10, 2013

A wise counselor friend recently told me that the biggest issue he works on with his clients is co-dependence.
He went on to say, "No one knows you better than you know yourself. Putting on other people's opinions of what you should or shouldn't do, or about who you are, is like sending someone else out to buy a pair of shoes for you. They may know what your size is, but they could never know from the outside how the shoes feel on your feet."
Nothing could have greater truth.

(1) the spouse or child of a veteran who has a total disability, permanent in nature, resulting from a service-connected disability,
(2) the surviving spouse or child of a veteran who
(B) at the time of death had a total disability permanent in nature, resulting from a service-connected disability,
(3) the surviving spouse or child of a person who died in the active military, naval, or air service in the line of duty and not due to such person's own misconduct, and
(4) an individual designated as a primary provider of personal care services under section 1720G (a)(7)(A) of this title who is not entitled to care or services under a health-plan contract (as defined in section 1725 (f) of this title); [1]
(b) In order to accomplish the purposes of subsection (a) of this section, the Secretary shall provide for medical care in the same or similar manner and subject to the same or similar limitations as medical care is furnished to certain dependents and survivors of active duty and retired members of the Armed Forces under chapter 55 of title 10 (CHAMPUS), by—
(1) entering into an agreement with the Secretary of Defense under which that Secretary shall include coverage for such medical care under the contract, or contracts, that Secretary enters into to carry out such chapter 55, and under which the Secretary of Veterans Affairs shall fully reimburse the Secretary of Defense for all costs and expenditures made for the purposes of affording the medical care authorized pursuant to this section; or
(2) contracting in accordance with such regulations as the Secretary shall prescribe for such insurance, medical service, or health plans as the Secretary deems appropriate.
In cases in which Department medical facilities are equipped to provide the care and treatment, the Secretary is also authorized to carry out such purposes through the use of such facilities not being utilized for the care of eligible veterans. A dependent or survivor receiving care under the preceding sentence shall be eligible for the same medical services as a veteran, including services under sections 1782 and 1783 of this title.
(c) For the purposes of this section, a child between the ages of eighteen and twenty-three (1) who is eligible for benefits under subsection (a) of this section, (2) who is pursuing a full-time course of instruction at an educational institution approved under chapter 36 of this title, and (3) who, while pursuing such course of instruction, incurs a disabling illness or injury (including a disabling illness or injury incurred between terms, semesters, or quarters or during a vacation or holiday period) which is not the result of such child's own willful misconduct and which results in such child's inability to continue or resume such child's chosen program of education at an approved educational institution shall remain eligible for benefits under this section until the end of the six-month period beginning on the date the disability is removed, the end of the two-year period beginning on the date of the onset of the disability, or the twenty-third birthday of the child, whichever occurs first.
(A) An individual otherwise eligible for medical care under this section who is also entitled to hospital insurance benefits under part A of the medicare program is eligible for medical care under this section only if the individual is also enrolled in the supplementary medical insurance program under part B of the medicare program.
(2) Subject to paragraph (3), if an individual described in paragraph (1) receives medical care for which payment may be made under both this section and the medicare program, the amount payable for such medical care under this section shall be the amount by which
(3) The amount payable under this subsection for medical care may not exceed the total amount that would be paid under subsection (b) if payment for such medical care were made solely under subsection (b).
(4) In this subsection:
(A) The term "medicare program" means the program of health insurance administered by the Secretary of Health and Human Services under title XVIII of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq.).
(e) Payment by the Secretary under this section on behalf of a covered beneficiary for medical care shall constitute payment in full and extinguish any liability on the part of the beneficiary for that care.

Here's a new file I made:
I mainly want input on the SS options/order, and then I want to fit a second dire straits, a cyclone, and a bitter destiny into the file. Right now the only 2 cards i'm willing to take out are Lamia and Frenzy, but at the same time I need Lamia for mid files, and Frenzy helps keep jewgrant alive if I face a rush file. Thoughts?

I never knew there was a national week for this. This week, July 9th-July 15th, is National Nude Recreation week. For those who like to enjoy activities in their birthday suit, and invite those who haven't tried it, to give it a try. Or course this is done in areas that are legal to walk around in your birthday suit. I wouldn't suggest heading to work with just your briefcase and shoes, you may end up somewhere else way before lunch! Click here to find out more!
You have the urge to celebrate, then Hippie Hollow is waiting for you. I don't think I'd ever be able to try it. I'd have to many flashbacks to junior high and high school changing and showering in gym class. I'm a fan of fashion in public, but more power to others who enjoy the all natural look!

I hope everyone had a great Halloween. Our neighbors had a little get together for the adults and kids. After some pizza and witch finger hot dog treats we set out with the kids for some trick or treating. Parents with the cooler and kids with the candy we set out on a perfect night. Lots of great Halloween decorations all over the neighborhood. House to house we went with flashlights and glowsticks illuminating the scary night.
Back home we counted and consumed the candy. Ordered Hocus Pocus on pay per view and went to bed in our coffins with a candy induced coma. Can't wait for next year!

Glad to find this SIZE photo album again (about the only place I could find it), but disappointed in the quality of the sheets. They tear easily and the paper in the writing space is difficult to remove. I purchased a bunch due to the problem of finding the size album I like, but would to have had I known about the quality.

I have been ordering these albums from you ever since I purchased the first one. The 2 picture per page wiith the center section for comments allows me to create a running commentary of each trip I take. If people are interested in Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Greek Isles, Turkey, Italy, Sardinia, Canada - all I have to do is give them the album. If no one is interested - these are my treasured memories. You are the only company who have these albums. Thanks and please DON'T stop making them.

photo album
Aug 26, 2014 | By Gary Zumwalt
We were unable to get a photo album to accommodate over 300 pictures locally. So we went online and ordered two that will hold 400 photos. These are great! Pages can be taken out or put in. No more skipping a page and finding out later and have to move all the pictures. Would recommend these to everyone. Photo albums are getting harder to find in our area so we were happy to find a good place online.

The Connecticut Democrat headed a hearing before a congressional committee on Wednesday to examine the state of safety on the nation's passenger and freight rail networks. On a conference call with reporters, Blumenthal and Connecticut Transportation Commissioner James Redeker said a shunt that acts a red light can be installed quickly and cheaply.
Robert Luden, a 52-year-old track foreman, was struck and killed May 28 by a train at a Metro-North station under construction.
Blumenthal said the failure to install the technology is "inexplicable and inexcusable."
Metro-North spokeswoman Marjorie Anders said power could inadvertently be routed through shunts, creating a different type of danger. Metro-North is taking another look at shunts and discussing it with other commuter railroads.

The Parsons iPad and iPhone apps provide instant access to our bachelor's, master's, and associate's degree programs. The apps feature academic and admissions-related information for each program as well as student work and campus locations, providing a sense of the culture and place that make Parsons a unique learning environment.
Alumnus Dong Yoon Park '11 coded and designed the interface as a second-year student in the MFA Design and Technology program. He conceived of and developed the iPhone app in an effort to capture all that Parsons offered and, in doing so, better demonstrate why he chose to attend. The iPad version was also begun by Park before he graduated and was completed by another MFA Design and Technology alum, Lee Williams '12, during his final year of the program.

Wow! Hopefully a longer review for my new phone will get written by me at some point and appear here soon!
iPod Shuffle
I always wondered why people buy those silly 1 GB mp3 players when they can get a 100 GB powerhouse to carry every song they own and a whole lot more. Well after 10 days of using my shiny new red shuffle I now know, why spend the whole of your journey deciding which song to play from a library of thousands when you can simplify matters with a 250 song mix of your favorites. Up until last week I used to dread the first 10 minutes of my journey to work as it would involve scrolling through 348 artists trying to decide which of the 791 albums I want to listen to. Thats a total of 6968 songs I was taking with me every day, pointless considering most of them I hardly ever listen to anymore. Thats where the beauty of the shuffle comes in to play, you set it to auto fill from a selected play list in itunes say your top rated or highest played. Then in the morning just press play to hear a mix it all. Its like having a 30 packs of fruit pastels without those dirty orange ones all crammed in to a device no bigger than a square of hubba bubba bubble gum, and like a piece of bubble gum you can stick it anywhere thanks to its little clip, genius. The only downsides are obvious absence of a screen, although it brings back memories of an old tape walkman and not knowing where you are or what track you are on.

Oysters are collectibles in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. There is a total of fifty oysters dotted across the state of San Andreas,which are found in bodies of water. Most oysters require the player to dive underwater while a number of them can be found in shallow pools or lakes. A quick way to get to oysters is using a Sea Sparrow, although a speedboat is recommended to safely obtain the oysters near the Easter Basin Naval Station, or during Vertical Bird as the wanted level is disabled. While collecting them, the player's lung capacity improves and makes it easier to collect oysters deeper in the water without losing health or risking death.
Collecting all fifty is required for 100% Completion and the rewards for this are $100 for every single oyster found, Carl's lung capacity increases to maximum and his girlfriends react as if he always has full sex appeal. However, normal women are not affected by collecting all oysters and react to his current sex appeal like normal. In addition, if a girlfriend dumps you during the game, collecting all fifty oysters will allow you to date her again, whereas normally this is not possible. Girlfriends can be refound in their original spawn locations.

- Harry Potter: "You know Voldemort's snake, Neville? He's got a huge snake... Calls it Nagini... It's got to be killed. Ron and Hermione know that, but just in case they — Just in case they're — busy — and you get the chance —"
- Neville Longbottom: "Kill the snake?"
- Harry Potter: "Kill the snake."
- — Harry arranges for Neville Longbottom to kill Nagini, Voldemort's final Horcrux.[src]
Nagini (d. 2 May, 1998) was a long, green female snake belonging to Lord Voldemort, with whom she had a special bond. She also became a Horcrux, after her master killed Bertha Jorkins in 1994. After Voldemort's initial downfall, he used Nagini's venom as one of the ingredients for a potion in order to regain strength, which eventually led to his rebirth. In 1995, she attacked Arthur Weasley, but he managed to survive. During the Second Wizarding War, she had to be destroyed in order for Voldemort to be finally defeated. Nagini was killed by Neville Longbottom in 1998, and was the last Horcrux to be destroyed.
Early Life
Not much is known about Nagini's early life or when she was acquired by Voldemort. It is unknown whether Voldemort owned Nagini before his fall in 1981, or if he found her during his exile in Albania. However, it is stated that in the woods of Albania, the phantom-like form that was the remnants of Voldemort befriended many animals, yet only snakes could bear having him inhabit them, thus leading to the notion that Voldemort and Nagini's relationship commenced in Albania.
Rebirth of the Dark LordHe used Nagini to help him regain strength and a basic physical form after living in a weak, spectral state, following his attempt to kill an infant Harry Potter, during which he was struck by his own rebounding Killing Curse. He had Peter Pettigrew milk her venom, and with it, create a potion that sustained him until he could regain a body. Nagini further kept Voldemort alive after he turned her into a Horcrux, with the murder of Bertha Jorkins, in 1994; his habit of keeping her unusually close to him was what led Albus Dumbledore to suspect that she had become a Horcrux. In the summer of 1994, Nagini alerted Voldemort to the presence of an Frank Bryce, an old Muggle gardener who had worked for the late Riddle family, who was eavesdropping on a conversation between Peter Pettigrew and Voldemort. Soon after Nagini slithered past Bryce and alerted Voldemort, the Dark Lord murdered the Muggle man.
Attack on Arthur Weasley
Nagini's venom seemed to delay blood clotting, and even dissolved stitches, causing the wounds to bleed profusely when the bandages were removed. Eventually, an antidote to the poison was found and he was cured. The reason that Albus Dumbledore believed Harry saw the vision as if he was the snake was due to Harry's special connection to Voldemort, with Harry's witnessing the attack by virtue of the fact that Voldemort's mind "happened to be" in Nagini at the time. This is the first indication of Nagini and Voldemort's deeper connection, having the ability to share thoughts and connect with Harry.
Murder of Charity Burbage
- "The soft voice seemed to hiss on even after the cruel mouth had stopped mouthing. One or two of the wizards barely repressed a shudder as the hissing grew louder; something heavy could be heard sliding across the floor beneath the table. The huge snake emerged to climb slowly up Voldemort's chair. It rose, seemingly endlessly, and came to rest across Voldemort's shoulders: its neck the thickness of a man's thigh; its eyes, with their verticle slits for pupils, unblinking. Voldemort stroked the creature absently with long thin fingers..."
- —Nagini joining the Death Eater meeting[src]
In 1997, Nagini was present at the Meeting at Malfoy Manor. When the Death Eaters were jeering at Bellatrix and the Malfoy family's humiliation, because of a disgraceful marriage in the family, the great snake got agitated, disliking the noise, opening its mouth wide and hissing angrily but to deaf ears. Voldemort, stroking the angry snake, called for silence.
- ""Dinner, Nagini," said Voldemort softly, and the great snake swayed and slithered from his shoulders onto the polished wood."
- —Nagini being fed with Charity Burbage[src]
Later, when Thorfinn Rowle and Antonin Dolohov failed to capture Harry after the Skirmish in the Luchino Café, Voldemort offered them a choice in punishment: being further tortured by Draco Malfoy or to be killed and devoured by Nagini.
Godric's Hollow
Nagini was later placed inside the corpse of Bathilda Bagshot by Voldemort's use of extremely Dark magic and stationed in Godric's Hollow to wait for Harry. When Harry and Hermione Grangerarrived there, she lured them into the late witch's home, signaled Voldemort due to the special connection the two of them share (Voldemort seems to have an excessive amount of control over the snake even for a Parselmouth), and then launched a surprise assault on Harry.
Because some snakes can sense heat and movement in a way humans cannot, Nagini was able to detect Harry and Hermione even when they were under the Cloak of Invisibility. Harry fought with Nagini, and the serpent bit him before coiling herself around Harry to hold him in place for Voldemort. However, Hermione came Harry's assistance by using a Blasting Curse against the snake, and the two jumped out the window and Apparated just before Voldemort arrived. Later, on Potterwatch, Lee Jordan revealed that the remains of Bathilda's body had been found after being informed by the Order of the Phoenix.
Battle of Hogwarts and Death
After discovering that Harry was searching for his Horcruxes in 1998, Voldemort placed Nagini into a protective magical cageto prevent her from being killed. Voldemort told her that it was for her own good, though since he was trying to ensure his own immortality, it was primarily for his.
Shortly before a one-hour armistice during the Battle of Hogwarts, Voldemort used his snake to murder Severus Snape in the Shrieking Shack by expanding the cage over and on top of him. Nagini proceeded to sink her fangs into Snape's neck, and when Voldemort pulled the protective cage off of Snape he fell to the ground with blood gushing from the wound in his neck. When Harry was apparently killed by Voldemort, Nagini was released from the protective enchantment as he believed there to be no more threat to her life, and she was draped around Voldemort's shoulders during the Death Eaters' victory march back to Hogwarts.
- "The slash of the silver blade could not be heard over the roar of the oncoming crowd or the sounds of the clashing giants or of the stampeding centaurs, and yet it seemed to draw every eye. With a single stroke Neville sliced off the great snake's head, which spun high into the air, gleaming in the light flooding from the entrance hall, and Voldemort's mouth as open in a scream of fury that nobody could hear, and the snake's body thudded to the ground at his feet--"
- —Neville beheading Nagini.[src]
After Neville Longbottom openly defied Voldemort, Voldemort punished him by forcing the Sorting Hat on his head and setting it on fire. The Death Eaters are then attacked, and during the ensuing battle and Neville pulled Godric Gryffindor's sword from the Hat (as Harry had done during the Skirmish in the Chamber of Secrets), and, swinging the blade in one upward stroke, beheaded Nagini, whose head spun high into the air as her body slumped onto the ground, while Voldemort screamed in rage.
Physical appearanceNagini was a large, green snake, roughly twelve feet long and as thick as a man's thigh. In the movies, she is portrayed as a reticulated python, despite the fact that pythons are non-venomous and do not even have fangs. There is no known species of venomous snake matching Nagini's description; therefore, she is most likely a species of snake found only in the magical world. This would also account for her unusually high level of intelligence, far beyond that of a normal snake.
Personality and traits
Nagini was completely loyal to Lord Voldemort. While she remained aloof to most others, she obeyed Voldemort completely, and seemed to enjoy being close to him, as she often slithered up to his shoulders to receive his affection. Nagini is also shown to be very intelligent and was able to understand the concept of strategies and plans, as seen when she sets up a trap for Harry. She was rather cunning and deceptive, and seems to have understood how humans behave.
Magical abilities and skills
- Combat skills: Nagini was extremely deadly in combat, just like her master. She was very fast, capable of striking her enemies with great dexterity and speed and was able to hold her own against wizards and witches on several occassions. Nagini was also strong and was able to hold Harry Potter in place when she attacked him in Godric's Hollow. If not for Hermione's Blasting Curse, Nagini's physical strength would have allowed her to hold Harry until Voldemort arrived.
- Venom: Nagini was a venomous snake and a single bite could result in a wound that was slow to heal (the extent to which this is due to her status as a Horcrux is unclear). Though her venom was not always fatal it made it difficult for wounds to close and Arthur Weasley's injuries continued to bleed long after Nagini bit him.
- Bond with Voldemort: Being one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, Nagini had a strong telepathic bond with her master and was capable of speaking to him over long distances. Voldemort could also possess Nagini at some circumstances.
- As a Horcrux: Because Horcruxes can only be destroyed by very specific forms of magic, Nagini could not be killed by any conventional means and was immune to most magical attacks.
Lord Voldemort
- "I think he is perhaps as fond of her as he can be of anything. He certainly likes to keep her close and has an unusual amount of control over her, even for a Parselmouth."
- —Albus Dumbledore on Voldemort's bond with Nagini
Voldemort had a special relationship with Nagini, as she was his pet and one of his Horcruxes. According to Dumbledore, Voldemort had strong feelings for Nagini that he had not for anyone else; she was the one thing that he cared about. He was able to communicate with Nagini as a Parselmouth, and he turned her into a Horcrux in 1994, after murdering Bertha Jorkins, which accounted for the unusual amount of control he had over her. By 1997, and likely before then, he was able to communicate with her silently and across great distances, as she was able to signal to him when Harry Potter arrived at Godric's Hollow. This may have been due to her nature as a Horcrux, giving her a link to Voldemort like the one Harry possessed.
Voldemort was also able to possess Nagini, which he did in December 1995 during the Attack on Arthur Weasley. In 1994, Peter Pettigrew milked Nagini's venom to return Voldemort to a rudimentary body, and as a Horcrux, her very existence contributed to maintaining Voldemort's immortality. Voldemort usually sent her on missions, such as infiltrating the Ministry, or holding Harry Potter in Godric's Hollow. He allowed her to consume the corpses of those he killed as a reward, like that of Charity Burbage, though this also served as a way for him to dispose of bodies; he apologised to her when he could not feed Pettigrew to her, as Pettigrew's failure of keeping Crouch Sr. was rectified, therefore allowing him to escape death penalty and not become Nagini's meal.
He stopped sending Nagini on missions after he realised Harry Potter knew about the existence of his Horcruxes and was tracking them down. Voldemort was enraged when Nagini was beheaded by Neville Longbottom with Godric Gryffindor's Sword and he attempted to kill Neville in retaliation. Nagini was the last destroyed Horcrux, and her death led to Voldemort's final defeat.
Nagini was frequently used by Voldemort to kill others, or to dispose of their dead bodies. In 1995, he promised Nagini that she could devour Harry Potter after he had killed him. However, she was denied this when Harry escaped from the graveyard shortly after the promise was made. It is likely that Frank Bryce met that intended fate, sometime in 1994. Voldemort threatened Pettigrew with being fed to Nagini if Bartemius Crouch Sr. was able to contact Albus Dumbledore about the plot behind the Triwizard Tournament. Nagini also attacked Arthur Weasley but he survived the bites after Harry had a vision on it and he was quickly aided. She's also known for disposing the body of Charity Burbage and killing Severus Snape.
- "Naga" is "snake" in Sanskrit and "Nagin" means "female snake" in Hindi and Urdu. A reference to Rudyard Kipling's cobra characters Nag and Nagaina[1] from the book Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is referred to as Nagini in some translations.
- A "Nagini" is also a half-woman, half-snake creature that is found in some Indian mythology (possibly a half-snake, half-woman creature called "Lamia").
Behind the scenes
- In Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix, she is likely portrayed as a Dumeril's Ground Boa, but in the last two films she is portrayed as a Reticulated Python (the longest real life snake species); both instances contradict the book's description of her as a venomous snake. However, it is possible she is a fictional species of venomous python within the film continuity. The filmmakers' intention was to model Nagini after a Burmese Python.[2]
- In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Albus Dumbledore stated that Nagini was made into a Horcrux through the murder of an "old muggle man", likely referring to Frank Bryce. However, J. K. Rowling said in an interview that the murder Voldemort used to make Nagini a Horcrux was Bertha Jorkins.
- Nagini is killed by Neville using Gryffindor's Sword, which is an object that can destroy Horcruxes due to the fact that it had been impregnated with Basilisk venom in 1993. It is unknown if living Horcruxes can be destroyed by anything that cannot destroy an inanimate Horcrux; however, it is likely, because the Horcrux inside Harry was destroyed by Voldemort using the Killing Curse. Nevertheless, it is still possible that living Horcruxes cannot be destroyed by anything that would not destroy an inanimate Horcrux considering that the Killing Curse is a one-of-a-kind unblockable instant death spell. As a living container of a piece of Lord Voldemort's soul, it is unknown what would happen if she could die naturally.
- The killing of Nagini is very representative of the houses Gryffindor and Slytherin. The sword was originally Godric Gryffindor's, and Nagini is a snake, Salazar Slytherin's symbol, owned by a descendent of the Slytherin line.
- Nagini and the Basilisk are both giant snakes who serve Voldemort, and both are killed with Gryffindor's Sword, when someone pulls the sword out of the Sorting Hat. Also both their deaths contributed to Voldemort becoming mortal (as the Basilisk fangs were used to destroy two Horcruxes, and the venom absorbed by Godric Gryffindor's Sword allowed the destruction of three more). Also, the Basilisk is related to the first appearance of a Horcrux in the series, while Nagini was the last Horcrux.
- It is never said why Harry's wounds from Nagini are able to be healed just with Dittany, while others, such as Severus Snape or Arthur Weasley (almost), are killed by her venom. The protective enchantments put in place with Lily Potter's death may act against Nagini's venom, but this protection had already faded when Harry was wounded (although it can be argued that the protection still existed due to Voldemort taking Harry's blood) . It is also possible that Nagini can choose whether or not to apply the venom into her bites, which is very likely as Lord Voldemort makes it clear that Harry's life is reserved for his own taking. In real life, venomous snakes can indeed control the amount of venom they inject in each bite, and even sometimes, they inject no venom at all (which is known as a "dry bite").
- Nagini was usually sent on missions on Voldemort's behalf, making her rather vulnerable, which is against the general purpose of a Horcrux: To protect the portion of the soul. She shares this trait with the diary Horcrux. However, it may be that Voldemort was sure no one had discovered his Horcrux secrets and, as only a few things can destroy Horcruxes, he was fairly sure Nagini and the diary would be safe. However, it could have been that the primary purpose of creating these two items was not so much to provide for Voldemort's immortality, but rather to use the other properties of a horcrux to create unique weapons.
- There was a rumour that Nagini was the snake Harry released from the zoo in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. This was proven false, as Nagini is some type of viper while the snake in the zoo was a boa constrictor. Furthermore, the snake was given a male voice in the film, while Nagini is female.
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, Nagini is a normal-sized snake. In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, she is considerably larger. In real life terms, this was so she could be more like a formidable boss battle, but in-universe, this could be due to her being a Horcrux.
Differences between book and film
In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Nagini was not protected by the magical orb, but instead by what appears to be an invisible force field that deflects all spells cast at her. This allowed her to participate in the final duel, as opposed to dying before it began, where she attempted to strike Harry from the back while Voldemort dueled him from the front. Eventually, she was fighting against Hermione and Ron, both of whom tried to stab her with a Basilisk fang, before Neville decapitated her. Upon her death, she vanished into black smoke, as opposed to simply dying and falling onto the ground in the novel. Why her body perished is not known, and she was the only Horcrux to disappear in such manner; all the others did not disappear, but instead leave behind fragmented pieces, except the Diadem when Ron kicked the remnants into the oncoming Fiendfyre. Also, Nagini was killed while Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort were duelling, when in the book, Neville Longbottom killed Nagini while Voldemort and his Death Eaters were standing outside the Entrance Hall.

Amaterasu is the highest level Fire Release technique,[2] and is noted to be Itachi Uchiha's strongest ninjutsu which stems from his dōjutsu.[3] It is said to represent the "Material World and Light" (物質界と光, Busshitsukai to Hikari), the antipode to Tsukuyomi — a genjutsu of similar power and a fellow Mangekyō Sharingan dōjutsu.[1] Use of the technique puts a great deal of strain on the user, usually causing his eyes to bleed.
The jet-black flames of the Amaterasu, said to be "the fires from hell", is also said that they are as hot as the sun, ignite at the focus of the user's vision.[4] Though the flames have been stated to be unavoidable, Amaterasu has been avoided a few times; Sasuke Uchiha managed to dodge the flames when Itachi tried focusing on him, though Itachi did not actually want to kill him and managed to hit Sasuke shortly after regardless,[5] and A using his Lightning Release Armour enhanced Body Flicker Technique avoided a short-range Amaterasu launched at him by Sasuke in an instant.[6]
The flames are capable of burning through mostly anything in their path, even smothering regular fire techniques with ease. Amaterasu is said to never stop burning; even when whatever is caught by the Amaterasu is completely reduced to ash or destroyed, it can still continue burning for seven days and seven nights. It cannot be extinguished with water or any other normal methods. The only thing that the flames have failed to burn into or through is Gaara's chakra-infused sand.[7] However, the flames burn fairly slowly, sometimes allowing anyone struck by Amaterasu an opportunity to remove whatever clothing or body parts have been caught ablaze. Nagato was able to deflect the flames from his body using Shinra Tensei.[8] Jiraiya was also able to seal the flames with the Fire Sealing Method.
Users of this technique have shown the ability to manipulate these flames to some extent. Itachi was able to quell the flames during his battle with Sasuke, something as Zetsu noted was done to protect Sasuke's eyes.[9] Sasuke himself would later quell the flames during his battle with Killer B, after Karin had accidentally been caught in the flames.[10] Furthermore, the Uchiha derived an ability known as Blaze Release through which they could manipulate the flames to serve as not only an offensive ability but a defensive one as well. This can also be applied to Susanoo's weapons, to increase their lethality.
As from the ancient Japanese myth and religion of Shintō, Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo are all gods. When Izanagi washed his face after escaping the underworld his left eye became the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu.

HYATTSVILLE, Md. (WUSA) - A Hyattsville man tried to take his own life last month, but thanks to a calm and cool 9-1-1 dispatcher, a mother's prayer on Facebook, and the power of love and friendship, David Dawson is alive today.
Now Dawson wants to help others who are considering suicide to learn from what he's been through. This is a story you'll only see on 9News.
They take more than a million calls a year at the Prince George's County 911 Center. This is the story of how one call saved one life, and impacted the lives of several more.
The "her" is Prince George's County 911 Dispatcher and first-time mom-to-be Dayeenah Edwards.
Dawson says this was the toughest day of her life. "I took a deep breath and she started counting, and she had me counting with her and I continued the CPR the whole time," she said.
With Edwards' help, Dawson managed to get David's heart beating before EMS arrived. But, then she says, things took another bad turn. "We get to the hospital and he flatlined three more times," she said.
What followed was three more days of doctors with bad news.
With nothing to lose, Linda poured her heart out to friends and family on Facebook.
"I asked them if they could come up and visit him, talk to him, touch him, let him know that you're here and you care. and over 60 people came and saw him that day," she said.
David is now doing fine. The 24-year-old says he took pain medication to try and end it all after battling years of chronic testicular pain that countless procedures and operations couldn't fix. He says the outpouring of love and care from his mom, those 60-plus friends, family, doctors, EMS, even Edwards, showed him the value his life had.
"All my friends have told me after this, you're one of the best friends I've ever had, you've impacted so many people 's lives, and it puts things in perspective, " he said.
Dawson says he is so happy to have lived. "It makes me think I have a purpose to be here, and that purpose is to prevent other people from committing suicide," he said.
From the darkness into the light, it's a lesson not many learn, but one David says he'll never forget. 911 Dispatcher Dayeenah Edwards says she's so pleased she could be a part of the help he received. "I'm glad that he has a new outlook on life, and that he can take that experience and change the way he is every day," she said.
David says he would like to work with a suicide prevention organization to help save lives. He says if he saves even one, it would all be worth it.

Ash's Charizard is Ash's 5th and most powerful Pokémon captured.
Charizard was first introduced as a young Charmander in the episode, Charmander the Stray Pokemon where it belonged to a Trainer named Damian who had promptly abandoned it, calling it a pathetic and weak Pokemon.
Despite this, Charmander's loyalty to Damien still existed to such a degree that it resisted being captured. It sat on a rocky outcrop, waiting for Damien to return although it didn't know that Damien had long since given up on it.
When a storm emerged, Charmander still remained outside, clinging to a leaf for support although the flame on its tail had gone down to such a dangerously low level. To make things worse, a flock of Spearow started attacking it. Thankfully, Ash and his friends arrived, saving Charmander with Pikachu driving the Spearow away although Ash and the others got shocked in the process.
They then got Charmander to a Pokemon Center with Nurse Joy treating it. She later emerged, telling them that the Charmander would pull through. The next morning, though, Charmander had disappeared with Ash theorizing that it had gone back to the rock to wait for Damien.
Team Rocket soon arrived on scene and caused more trouble for Ash and the others by capturing Pikachu while Ash and the others fell into a hole. Charmander arrived and thanks to Meowth translating, ordered James and Jessie to give Pikachu back or else. Team Rocket ignored the threat, ordering Charmander to beat it or else. But Charmander had the last laugh as it released a very powerful Flamethrower on them, roasting them and causing Team Rocket to retreat. Damian, having witnessed the scene returned, hoping to get Charmander to rejoin his team as he planned to fulfill his "promise" and attempted to recapture Charmander.
However, Charmander realized that Damian was a selfish trainer who would never care for or respect him and as such, refused, using its tail to send the Poke Ball flying back where it hit Damian in the face. Damian attempted to crush Charmander with every Pokemon he owned but Charmander responded by giving its former trainer a Flamethrower. Pikachu joined it with ThunderShock and Damian was forced to flee. Humiliated, burnt and shocked to within an inch of his life, Damian fled while Charmander chose to join Ash's team and became the newest addition to the young trainer's party.
Charmander later became one of Ash's most valuable and trusted Pokemon with Ash calling on it in numerous occasions.
In the episode after he had been captured, Ash used him to help them to get through a cave.
On the St. Anne ship, he joined forces with a group of Charmander and they were successful in defeating a group of Team Rockets grunts.
Once the group had arrived in Lavander Town with Ash hoping to catch a Ghost-type Pokemon so that he could beat the Saffron City Gym Leader, Sabrina, Charmander was chosen to lead the way through the tower. Unfortunately, a Haunter who lived in the Tower paralyzed Charmander by using Lick, forcing Ash to recall it.
Charmander's next chance to shine came when Ash chose it to go up against Primeape who had evolved from a harmless Mankey. After enduring a brutal beating at Primeape's hands, Charmander learned Rage which gave it the opportunity to knock Primeape out after unleashing a powerful Flamethrower which finally enabled Ash to capture it.
Charmander got the chance to take part in its first-ever Gym Battle when Ash went up against the Celadon City Gym Leader, Erika where it fought Erika's Weepinbell. It stopped Weepinbell's Razor Leaf with a flamethrower, causing Weepinbell some discomfort as Grass-type Pokemon hate the Fire. Charmander knocked Weepinbell out with a Skull Bash, giving Ash the win but Charmander lost after battling Erika's Gloom due to the fact that the stench Gloom gave off was so disgusting that it caused Charmander to hold its nose before fainting in disbelief. Although the battle was suspended due to Team Rocket attacking the Gym, Ash eventually won the Rainbow Badge after saving Gloom's life.
Ash used Charmander again in his battle against the Fuschia Gym leader, Koga with Charmander fighting Koga's Venomoth before Team Rocket interrupted the battle.
After Team Rocket had blasted off, Koga sent out his Golbat to deal with Charmander. Despite the fight not going in Charmander's favor at the beginning, it was eventually able to beat Koga's Golbat thanks to a combination of Ember and Fire Spin that gave Ash the Soul Badge.
Charmander went up against a Golem owned by a biker named Chopper. Despite the type-disadvantage, Charmander won, a testimony to its increasing power under Ash's care. Its flames were so powerful that Golem was even burning and even after Chopper recalled it, the heat continued to go through the Poke Ball.
Charmander was chosen to stop a group of rampaging Exeggutor and it did so but Ash and the team were in for a surprise when Charmander evolved into Charmeleon.
Unfortunately, the Charmander's happy personality and loyalty disappeared upon it evolving into Charmeleon, the reason being that Charmeleon's own skill level excelled that of Ash's and as such, it didn't respect him. During a practice battle in which Ash sought to help a Paras Cassandra owned evolve into a Parasect, it responded by going against Ash's orders and ruthlessly attacked the Paras, causing it to flee in tears. Ash tries to call Charmeleon, but Charmeleon used a Flamethrower on Ash and when it rounded on Brock and Misty, Brock commented that Charmeleon was way out of control. Luckily, though, Pikachu, intervened and used a Thunderbolt to knock Charmeleon out, enabling Ash to recall it.
Charmeleon is still ignored to Ash, until an Aerodactyl had insulted it. When it evolved into a Charizard, it defeated the Aerodactyl, but he apologized to Ash for being so reckless. Upon being released from its Ball, it simply shot out flames onto Ash, and ignored his orders.
However, he actually battled against other fire types. He listened to Ash in his battle aginst Blaine's Magmar, and won with Seismic Toss after a hard battle before he apologize to Ash after the battle. He also battled Ritchie's Charmander, and easily crushed it. Unfortunately again, his laziness against all other types of Pokemon cost Ash his match against Ritchie in the Pokemon League before he apologizing Ash again.
Orange League
In the early part of the series, Charizard retained his disobediance. He defeated a trainer's Taurous in one hit, only to go on a rampage, which had to be contained by Elite Four member Lorelei. He also used Flamethrower on Ash while he was trying to make a sled to use against Danny, only for Ash to dodge. The Flamethrower made the perfect sled, helping Ash win the round. Charizard apologizes Ash that such as disobediance.
However, when Ash saved it after being frozen by Tad's Poliwrath's Ice Beam, Charizard's loyalty was returned to Ash once again, and its loyalty and devotion to Ash who had helped when it was a Charmander returned in force. It had a rematch with Tad, and won with his new Dragon Rage and his signature Seismic Toss.
Charizard helped Ash in his battles with Luana and Drake, fighting alongside Pikachu against Luana's Marowak and Alakazam and defeated Drake's Electabuzz with Seismic Toss. Charizard then battled Drake's Dragonite but even the damage he had taken in his battle with Electabuzz he held his own against the more experienced Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon. In the end their Dragon Rage's collided and although Dragonite was injured by the explosion, Charizard fainted and Dragonite still had enough energy to defeat Ash's Squirtle and Tauros before finally being defeated by Pikachu.
Charizard was used in Ash's first Johto Gym battle, and defeated Falkner's Pidgeot with Seismic Toss. Charizard was also used in Ash's trainer battles, easily winning every battle.
When Charizard entered the Charicific Valley, it immediately challenged one of the many Charizards that were there, only to be humiliated at its loss. Charla then threw him out and into a lake. Team Rocket respected Charizard as a "fellow loser", and kept it alive while it was in the lake. Next Team Rocket "attacked" the valley, but Charizard defended the valley, just as they planned. They say some encouraging words and saluted Charizard before he sent them blasting off. Team Rocket's plan was to use that scene to make Charizard look like a hero and get accepted in, and it worked. Ash gave Charizard the option to stay and train if it wished to, which Charizard agreed and was given an assurance from Ash that it won't be abandoned. Ash didn't want to leave Charizard but he knew it was for the best for Charizard.
However it later returned to Ash and helped him and Clair calm a rampaging Dragonite. After that it battled Clair's Dragonair by evaporating the pool, which was her protection, with Flamethrower. It then dodged Iron Tail twice and won using a unique combination of Fire Spin and Seismic Toss, both of which were used inside Dragonair's Dragon Rage to give them more power. Charizard's victory over Dragonair earned Ash the Rising Badge. It returned to Charific Valley for a little while before it returned to Ash again for the Johto League.
In "Spell of the Unown", after watching footage of Ash running after Entei who'd kidnapped his mother, Charizard left the Valley to head straight for Greenfield. He arrived in the nick of time, rescuing Ash and Pikachu who were just about to fall to their deaths after stumbling off a cliff. Charizard fought Entei and managed to hit it with a Fire Spin that was strong enough to cause the Legendary Pokemon to roar with pain, despite the fact that Fire Spin would not normally do much damage to a fellow Fire type. Although Charizard had grown stronger in the Charicific Valley, displaying the agility and power to dodge and counter many of Entei's attacks. Fortunately young Molly Hale ordered Entei to stop just before Entei was about to kill Charizard with Fire Blast.
Charizard later returned in the Silver Conference when Blastoise and Scisor had cut the team down to just him. He battled and defeated Gary's Scizor and Golem. Gary's Blastoise put up a better fight, and maintained an adavntage, by using Hydro Pump to negate Charizard's aierial advantage. Thinking outside of the box, Charizard used Flamethrower to burn the battlefield and when Blastiose used Hydro Pump to cool down the burning field, Charizard used the smoke to get in close, ensuring that Blastoise couldn't aim its cannons. Blastoise ducked under Charizard's Dragon Rage and used Bite on its shoulder but Charizard ignored the pain and smashed Blastoise into the ground with Seismic Toss. Blastoise managed to stand but after glaring at Charizard for a few moments it collapsed and fainted. This caused Ash to move to the top 8 and resulting in Gary's elimination from the Johto League.
Charizard was then used against Harrison's Blaziken in the quarterfinals. Charizard had never battled a Blaziken before and Ash had only encountered the Pokemon once when Harrison used it to catch his Sneasel. Therefore both Charizard and his trainer were caught off guard by Blaziken's speed and power. Even Charizard's Seismic Toss wasn't enough to defeat Blaziken, though it crippled him badly, but when Charizard attempted to use another one it was caught off guard by Blaziken's Blaze Kick. Blaziken tried to finish Charizard with Flamethrower and Charizard countered with Dragon Rage resulting in an explosion which caused both Pokemon to collapse. Charizard and Blaziken managed to stand up but when Ash ordered Charizard to use another Flamethrower, the pain from Charizard's injuries overwhelmed him and he fainted. However Charizard injured Blaziken badly enough to prevent Harrison from using it in the next round which caused Harrison to lose his next battle.
It appeared in the episode The Symbol Life, where Ash used Charizard to battle with Noland's Articuno. Despite his type advantage, Articuno had the upper hand throughout most of the battle, recovering from Flamethrower and DragonBreath remarkably quickly and dodging all of Charizard's other attacks. It also revealled that it could use Water Pulse to counter its weakness to Fire types and froze one of Charizard's wings with Ice Beam. Charizard used Overheat to melt the ice on his wing allowing him to regain full mobility but Articuno still managed to land a Steel Wing which very nearly defeated the exhausted Charizard. However when Articuno attempted to finish Charizard with another Steel Wing Charizard grabbed both wings and hurled Articuno to the ground with Seismic Toss, almost knocking itself out in the process. Articuno managed to get up and the referee was about to announce that it had won but Noland told him to wait until he was sure the battle was over. Articuno fainted as Charizard got to his feet. Charizard was the first non-Legendary Pokemon in the anime to have defeated a Legendary Pokemon and won Ash the Knowledge Symbol before it returned to the Charicific Valley. As of then Charizards power rivals that of legendary and elite four pokemon.
Charizard was also used during Ash's final battle with Pyramid King Brandon, where he battled Brandon's Dusclops. Dusclops proved to be Charizard's equal, countering Flamethrower with Will-O-Wisp and using Mean Look after being hit by DragonBreath. When Charizard used his newly learned Steel Wing, Dusclops grabbed onto one of his wings and used Confuse Ray. Ash was unable to recall Charizard because of Mean Look allowing Dusclops to hit Charizard with Shadow Punch and Will-O-Wisp. Charizard snapped out of his confusion with some encouragment from Ash and hit Dusclops with a powerful DragonBreath. Dusclops struck back with Will-O-Wisp but by that time both Pokemon had become tired. Ash ordered Charizard to inflict what would have been the finishing blow if Dusclops hadn't been a Ghost type but it turned out that ordering Charizard to use Seismic Toss was a huge mistake. Due to Dusclops' immunity to Fighting attacks, the Ghost type escaped from Charizard's grasp and smashed him with a final devastating Shadow Punch. However Ash still managed to win the Brave Symbol with his three remaining Pokemon, Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Pikachu and Charizard then returned to Charicific Valley.
In BW118, Ash is at a Kanto Festival and remembers his Charizard and all the good times they had together. He goes to Profesor Oak and trades in his Unfezant for his Charizard. When he arrived, Ash was happy to see him, and Charizard gave him the usual Flamethrower greeting. While being introduced to the other groups Pokemon, he develops a fiery rivalry with Iris' Dragonite, which leads the two to battle. Iris is confident in her Dragonite, but does not know how outmatched she was. Charizard was able to overpower her super effective ThunderPunch with Wing Attack, but after Dragonite hit Charizard with Dragon Rush, Iris thought she had won. But much to her shock and Dragonite's frustration, Charizard emerged unscathed from the attack. Dragonite, now knowing what it was going up against, retreated in the sky, but Charizard easily caught up and hit Dragonite with a super effective Dragon Tail, dealing serious damage. However, the battle was called off by N, because Dragonite was injured from the fall. Iris was surprised that Dragon Rush didn't knock Charizard out, because she believed that it was super effective. After Ash, Cilan, and N were done laughing at her, Ash corrects Iris, though she doesn't believe them until Ash's Pokedex clearly stated that Charizard is a Fire/Flying type.
In BW119, Charizard is used to battle Dragonite again, who is know being controlled by Colress. Charizard is able to hold off Dragonite until the machine breaks, freeing him from Colress's control.
In BW121, Charizard is used to help Pignite, who has something blocking his nostrils. Charizard, however, simply throws Pignite with Seismic Toss, which does not work.
In BW123, Ash uses Charizard, Krookodile, and Oshawott, to get Ash and N out of the bottom of a pit. It used a spinning Dragon Tail to break through the ground, while Oshawott used Hydro Pump to soften it, allowing Krookodile to Dig out. He also was used to battle Team Plasma, where he easily withstood several attacks, and then Pignite and it launched a devastating double Flamethrower. However, Ash had to recall all of his Pokemon, including Charizard, once Colress turned his mind control device on them.

|+ indicates this Pokémon used this move recently.*
- indicates this Pokémon normally can't use this move.
- Charizard is one of the few Pokémon Ash owns that temporary disobeyed him (albeit only after evolving into Charizard due to rapid evolution), the others being Pikachu and Primeape.
- Charizard is one the three Pokémon owned by Ash to battle and defeat a Legendary Pokémon, the other two being Pikachu and Sceptile. Charizard defeated Articuno and Entei, Sceptile defeated Darkrai and Pikachu battled to a draw with Latios and defeated Regice.
- Charizard knows more moves than any other of Ash's Pokémon, 17, (18 if you count his unused Mega Punch).
- In the episode Snow Way Out, he had a Charmander, but a few episodes before, it was Charizard.
- When it first entered, Charizard is smaller than the other Charizards found in the Charicific Valley. Now, it has reached the same size as them.
- Since he evolved from Charmeleon, Brandon's Dusclops is the only Pokemon that had not reached its final stage of evolution to have ever defeated Charizard. It should be noted however that Dusknoir was not revealled until after the episode was first broadcast.
- Shin-ichiro Miki who voices James in the Japanese version and who also plays Brock's Zubat/Golbat and Crobat as well as Misty's Staryu in both the Japanese and English-language versions of the anime voices Charizard in both versions as well. In the English series, Charmander and Charmeleon were voiced by Michael Haigney and Eric Stuart respectively while Miki continued voicing both Charmander and Charmeleon in the Japanese version.
- Charizard is Ash's first Pokemon to learn a Dragon-type move.
- Charizard is universally considered Ash's strongest Pokemon.
- Despite staying in Charific Valley, Ash recieves Charizard from Professor Oak in BW118, but this is due to Charizard's PokeBall being sent from Charicific Valley to the lab.
- Originally, Ash's Charizard seemed only average in his species' height (5'7"). Since training at the Characific Valley, he has become considerably taller. This is noticeable as originally he was almost half the size of Liza's Charla, but during his next appearance, Charizard was slightly taller than Charla. This probably due Charizard growing stronger during his long absence.
- He has a rivalry with Iris's Dragonite (as of BW118).
- Charizard is One of Ash's Pokemon that he occasionly rides on

Over the years, Women's tennis has come to be criticized and held notorious for its short, one-sided grand slam finals. While the latter part of the 00s has undoubtedly seen masses of blowouts and beatdowns in grand slam finals, it wasn't always like that. Many finals in the late 90s and early 00s were bursting at the seams with vitality, drama and scrumptiously good tennis. One such match was the 2002 Australian Open final between Martina Hingis and Jennifer Capriati.
Firstly, let's set the scene. After Capriati's troubled teens, which included Grand Slam semi-finals at 13 and arrests for Maruijana possession and the shoplifting of a $15 ring, Jennifer arrived in 2001 finally having matured as a woman. Her tennis followed accordingly as she clinched both the Australian and French Opens and would end the year atop of the rankings. The 2002 Australian Open would repeat itself as both Martina and Jennifer waltzed through their halves of the draw, meeting in their second successive Australian Open final. A year earlier Martina was the world number one and favourite, but in the 52 weeks that followed the tide had completely turned. This time, Jennifer stood as the defending champion and world number one.
The match was a spectacle from the very beginning. Jennifer came out all guns blazing, while Martina sadistically toyed around with Jennifer in the way that only Martina knows how. This contrast in styles between the two supreme athletes led to some electric, lengthy and epic exchanges. Still, Martina took an emphatic 6-4 4-0 lead and looked to be moments away her fourth Australian Open crown. From this point on, Capriati's fighting instincts took over as she fought and bludgeoned her way back from almost certain defeat, amid jeers and boos as she queried calls, let out her trademark expletive-riddled rants and told the enthusiastic crowd to "shut the hell up." With three championship points saved, the pair eventually arrived at a second-set tiebreak, a tiebreak that turned out to be another one of those incredible, unforgettable moments in tennis. The heat burned holes in the pair as the champions exchanged epic rally after epic rally before collapsing into the shade after every point. Jennifer would fight her way through another lengthy exchange on championship point, before finally clinching the set and levelling the match for the first time since 15-15 in the very first game. And as Hingis' spirit finally broke, Jennifer never looked back as she powered to the third Grand Slam of her career.
It was such an unbelievable viewing experience, and even just watching them as they wore each other down in the smouldering heat was tiring and painful. The way Jennifer managed to save most of the championship points with winners and forced errors was simply unreal. This match is her legacy, and it's a pretty damn good one at that.
