RE: question re random choices from a list of students
I think you can accomplish what you want with a formula in Excel - I did a quick google search and got this as a suggestion:
1. Enter a list of names in column A
2. Now enter the formula below in the cell you want the random name returned.
This will pick a name at random from your list in column A. It will also be dynamic in that when/if you add/remove names from the list they will automatically be included/excluded.
That came from this site: http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/excel-random-pick.htm although I suspect the information is available from many other places as well.
I've attached another solution done up in a programming language called Python. I'm sure this is a grossly oversimplified solution, but there wasn't a lot of detail in the question. Python is available for most platforms and it's a very nice, high-level programming language. It's useful for problems like the one you describe. To learn more, you can visit: http://python.org/ .
Best wishes,
Ben Chapman
==== Sample code - Python ====
import csv
import random
classname = str(raw_input("Please enter the name of a csv file containing first and last names: "))
questiontotal = int(raw_input("How many questions would you like to ask? "))
victims = []
myclass = csv.reader(open(classname))
for row in myclass:
if len(row) >= 2:
victims.append(row[1] + ', ' + row[0])
for number in range(1, questiontotal + 1):
print number, random.choice(victims)
print "Done!"

I think I have asked this before with no success so I am trying again. Does anyone know of software that will randomly select a student from a list. Also, it will, in my dream world, seed the list so a student is called on multiple times in a give - let's say month - but also doesn't completely eliminate a student thereby preventing the 'i'm off the hook' syndrome.
Anyone... anyone?

Paintbrushes take him to worlds afar
By: Michael Kirby
Community Portrait
"I enjoy people. If you're going to be good at portraits, you have to like people," said artist Frank Ordaz. Ordaz recently moved into a studio space he shares with Mike Maydak on Lincoln Way. He is a friendly and easygoing guy, quirky, talkative and engaging. He is excited by the energy of the Downtown scene, and not just the art, but the people and businesses. Having spent the last few years working out of a studio in his home in Auburn doing mostly commissioned work, Ordaz is jazzed about being out in town. He is a fine art portrait painter and illustrator. Working in oils, Ordaz has the talent to capture a subject's personality in his work and shares time, talking with every person he paints, waiting for the hint, the secret that is always revealed in time that exposes their inner person, that vulnerability and insight into his subject that Ordaz wants to capture. The 53 year-old Ordaz was raised in East Los Angeles by creative and hard-working parents and admits that as a child art was a retreat for him. He often spent many hours in his room to avoid the harshness of his neighborhood's environment. "I was small and skinny and someone was always messing with me. With my art I could create my own world, I could control it. It was safe and beautiful," he said. From age 10 Ordaz studied with famed California master artist Theodore Lukits, a renowned art instructor. Ordaz attended the University of Southern California on an art scholarship. After two years he then transferred to the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena to study illustration. Upon graduation in 1980 Ordaz was highly recommended for a job with Industrial Light and Magic (ILM), working for filmmaker George Lucas in Northern California. There Ordaz did background matte paintings for specialized movie production effects and worked on films like "ET", "The Wrath of Khan", "Return of the Jedi" and "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom", rubbing shoulders with well-known actors, musicians, directors and working with a talented production staff. Ordaz even had a small bit part in Indiana Jones. He won an Emmy for his work as part of a team of artists working on the 1985 television movie, "Ewok — The Battle of Endor." Leaving movie work, and self-employed, his award-winning paintings and illustrations have been used in a line of Christian books, professional sports posters, specialty greeting cards and even a line of jigsaw puzzles. Ordaz produced a painting that the George W. Bush White House used for their Easter egg hunt. Ordaz's painting was used on the invitations, official program, posters and tickets for the annual event. Ordaz and his family were invited to the egg hunt, met and spent time with the first family. He is currently involved in a portrait project for the U.S. Air Force, and teaching painting classes for children and adults along with painting portraits for clients out of his new studio Downtown. "I feel this is what I'm supposed to be doing now, and where I'm supposed to be," Ordaz said. Ordaz lives in Auburn with his wife and family.

by Aaron Cynic – American law enforcement agencies continue to increase their surveillance on an otherwise fairly complacent citizenry, logging an incredible amount of requests for information regarding cell phone and social media use.
Last week, a judge in New York ruled that Twitter must give a court close to three months of information from a user in a pending case involving an Occupy Wall Street protester arrested at a demonstration on the Brooklyn Bridge in October. In February, a subpoena from the New York City District Attorney's office demanded the microblogging site, often used by protesters to update their followers on events happening on the street in real time, give up "any and all user information, including email address, as well as any and all tweets posted for the period of 9/15/2011-12/31/2011" from user Malcolm Harris." Harris (@destructuremal), managing editor for the New Inquiry online magazine was arrested on the Brooklyn Bridge with 700 other demonstrators.
The Wall Street Journal reports Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Matthew A. Sciarrino Jr. ruled that since tweets are public, privacy protections do not apply. Sciarrino said "If you post a tweet, just like if you scream it out the window, there is no reasonable expectation of privacy." While this is true, privacy advocates have pointed out that such a ruling sets a dangerous precedent. The Electronic Frontier Foundation noted when the original subpoena was issued in February that "the government would be able to learn about who Mr. Harris was communicating with for an extensive period of time not only through Tweets, but through direct messages," which are private messages between users. In addition, the government could learn even more information about his followers and their interactions with him, as well as his and their location.
Computerworld reports Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Foundation said:
"It's one thing for the police to overhear a person shout an incriminating statement. We agree there would be no expectation of privacy. But when the police go to a communications service provider and demand that the company turn over records of a customer, that is a very different scenario."
Aden Fine, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, who filed a friend-of-the-court brief backing Twitter said that the ruling "continued to fail to grapple with one of the key issues underlying this case: do individuals give up their ability to go to court to try to protect their free speech and privacy rights when they use the Internet?" The answer has to be no."
In addition to the case involving Harris, Twitter has received an incredible amount of requests for information regarding users. Reuters reports of the 849 requests the social networking company has received from governments this year, 80 percent (679) come from the United States, typically from law enforcement for use in criminal investigations. Twitter provided at least a minimal amount of information in 75% of total requests. In a set of new guidelines, the company said it would produce information "if an emergency involving the death or serious physical injury to a person, we may provide information necessary to prevent that harm, if we have it."
Federal agencies in the United States are also interested in many other ways to keep tabs on citizens behavior online. In May, CNET highlighted a proposal from the FBI which requires social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and others, along with VoIP providers, instant messengers and web based email providers alter code to be wiretap friendly. Essentially, the FBI is seeking to amend the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), which only applies to telecommunications providers and not Web based companies, to allow its surveillance capabilities to catch up with technology. CNET also reported the Federal Communications Commission may reinterpret CALEA that services such as Skype and Xbox Live include surveillance backdoors to assist the FBI.
The continued deluge of requests for information and surveillance backdoors don't only apply to the internet, however. Last year, law enforcement agencies federal, state and local filed more than 1.3 million requests for cell phone records from wireless carriers. A survey by Massachusetts 7th District Congressman Ed Markey found Verizon reported an increase in law enforcement requests of 15 percent and T-Mobile, who did not include its numbers in the survey, saw an increase of between 12 and 16 percent. The information shared with law enforcement included geolocation information, text message content and cell tower dumps, in which carriers provide all phone numbers of users which connect to a tower during a specific period of time.
While law enforcement and the government would like citizens to believe measures such as these are their way of catching up with the rapid pace of evolving technology in regards to criminal behavior, something more sinister could be at work. Given the interest the Department of Homeland Security has had in Occupy movements around the country as well as some of the more draconian police tactics that have been used on demonstrators, the increased surveillance of internet users and the content they choose to share via social networking, mobile devices or the web, it's not difficult to call these information requests police state type tactics.
Federal, state and local law enforcement already have been implicated in several cases involving the entrapment of protesters. From the RNC 8 in Minneapolis to the NATO 5 in Chicago, government agents not only engaged in surveillance tactics against activists, but also directly influenced ones they later arrested into committing crimes. In addition, various law enforcement agencies have attempted to intimidate journalists, most recently involving Occupy protests and the NATO protests in Chicago this year. On more than one occasion during the protests surrounding the NATO summit in May, journalists were either removed from the scene, targeted for arrest, and in at least one case, detained and questioned at gunpoint.
Plenty of people might dismiss connecting these requests and other instances that highlight targeted suppression of dissent as mere paranoia. Such tactics have a chilling effect on legitimate dissent, and the efforts by multiple law enforcement agencies to question, detain and arrest activists of varying stripes points to a much more dangerous world. More than a decade ago, former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer said that when it came to dissent in troubled times, Americans should "watch what they say and what they do." Rhetoric like Fleischer's and quick quips today from politicians like "if you're not doing anything illegal, you shouldn't be worried" shows an increasing acceptance of the criminalization of dissent, and points towards a disturbing future.

Lab uses Lego to automate research
Scientists at Cambridge University have used Lego Mindstorms to automate research. The work involves dipping samples into the correct substances time and time again.
Secrets of the monkey fish
This BBC News article with video details an investigation into the 'monkey fish' – which were originally thought to me mummified mermaid relics. Using X-rays and CT scans it can be shown how the items has been made by hand out of a fish and some Papier-mâché. A 3D print of the item has also been produced to show the construction.
Simple mirror trick for those difficult animal films
Mark B. Rober had this great idea for filming primates with his iPhone, using a hole in a mirror to get their attention. I'd image this idea would work with other animals too such as domestic pets and babies.
Mark has some other interesting videos in his YouTube channel, he also works for NASA so expect more soon.
Men catch artificial rhinosorous
This is the kind of thing I'd have enjoyed making, but I'm not sure what practical purpose it actually serves. This BBC News article with video shows an emergency drill at a zoo in Tokyo, but appears more like something that should be in Dad's Army. Nice rhino though.
Chimpanzee is genius at memory games
In this BBC article with video, a Chimpanzee named Ayumu at Japan's Kyoto University, can recognise numbers to the extent of ordering them by value. But more astoundingly Ayumu is also able to remember the value and position of the numbers in around half a second and complete the test with the numbers blanked out. The video at the BBC article is definitely worth watching – it appears that Ayumu's skill is super human.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
2:11-15 The doctrine of grace and salvation by the gospel, is for all ranks and conditions of men. It teaches to forsake sin; to have no more to do with it. An earthly, sensual conversation suits not a heavenly calling. It teaches to make conscience of that which is good. We must look to God in Christ, as the object of our hope and worship. A gospel conversation must be a godly conversation. See our duty in a very few words; denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, living soberly, righteously, and godly, notwithstanding all snares, temptations, corrupt examples, ill usage, and what remains of sin in the believer's heart, with all their hinderances. It teaches to look for the glories of another world. At, and in, the glorious appearing of Christ, the blessed hope of Christians will be complete: To bring us to holiness and happiness was the end of Christ's death. Jesus Christ, that great God and our Saviour, who saves not only as God, much less as Man alone; but as God-man, two natures in one person. He loved us, and gave himself for us; and what can we do less than love and give up ourselves to him! Redemption from sin and sanctification of the nature go together, and make a peculiar people unto God, free from guilt and condemnation, and purified by the Holy Spirit. All Scripture is profitable. Here is what will furnish for all parts of duty, and the right discharge of them. Let us inquire whether our whole dependence is placed upon that grace which saves the lost, pardons the guilty, and sanctifies the unclean. And the further we are removed from boasting of fancied good works, or trusting in them, so that we glory in Christ alone, the more zealous shall we be to abound in real good works.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 11. - Hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men, for that bringeth salvation, hath appeared to all men, A.V. and T.R. Bringing salvation to all men (σωτήριος). The R.T. omits the article ἡ before σωτήριος, which necessitates construing πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις with σωτήριος, "saving to all men" "bringing salvation to all men." With the article ἡ as in the T.R., it may be taken either way, but it is rather more natural to construe πᾶσιν ἀθρώποις with ἐπεφάνη, "hath appeared to all men." The meaning of the phrase, "hath appeared to all men," is the same as the saying in the song of Simeon, "Mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people" (Luke 2:30, 31; comp. Colossians 1:6). The gospel is not a hidden mystery, but is proclaimed to the whole world. Σωτήριος as an adjective is found only here in the New Testament, in Wisd. 1:14 and 3Macc. 7:18, and frequently in classical Greek.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation,.... By which is meant, not the free love and favour of God, which lies in his own heart; for though that is productive of salvation, and is the source and spring of it, and what brings it forth, and is far from encouraging licentiousness, but instructs in real piety, and constrains to obedience to the will of God; yet this does not appear, nor has it been, nor is it made manifest unto all men, but is peculiar to the Lord's own people; nor does it design the grace of God wrought in the hearts of believers; for though salvation is strictly connected with it, and it powerfully influences the lives and conversations of such, who are partakers of it; yet it has not appeared to, nor in all men; all men have not faith, nor hope, nor love, nor any other graces of the Spirit: but by the grace of God is intended the doctrine of grace, the Gospel of the grace of God; called so, because it is a declaration of the grace of God, and of salvation by it: and is the means, in the hand of the Spirit, of conveying grace to the heart, and implanting it in it; in which sense the phrase is used in Acts 20:24 and this is called the Gospel of salvation, the word of salvation, and salvation itself, and so may be said to bring it; it brings and publishes the good news of it; it shows unto men the way of salvation; it gives an account of the Saviour himself, that he is the great God, and so fit to be a Saviour; that he was appointed by God the Father to be his salvation; that he was sent, and came to work out salvation; and that he is become the author of it; and that he is the only Saviour, and an able, willing, and complete one: it gives an account of the salvation itself; that it is the salvation of the soul; that it is a great one, and includes both grace and glory; that it is everlasting, and all of free grace; and it points out the persons who are interested in it, and shall enjoy it, even all those that are chosen to it, and are redeemed, reconciled, and justified by the blood of Christ, and are brought to believe in him: and the Gospel not only brings the news of all this to the ear, in the external ministration of it; but it brings it to the heart, and is the power of God unto salvation, when it comes, not in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Ghost; or when it comes under the powerful influences and application of the Spirit of God. Some read this clause thus, "that bringeth salvation to all men"; to which agrees the Syriac version, which renders it, , "that quickeneth" or "saveth all"; and so the Arabic version: but then this cannot be understood of every individual person; for the Gospel has not brought salvation to everyone in any sense, not even in the external ministry of it; there have been multitudes who have never so much as heard the outward sound of salvation by Jesus Christ, and fewer still who have an application of it to their souls by the Spirit of God; to many to whom it has come, it has been an hidden Gospel, and the savour of death unto death: it follows indeed,
hath appeared to all men; which supposes it to have been hid, as it was, in the thoughts, purposes, and counsels of God; and in Jesus Christ, in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hid; and in the covenant of grace, of which the Gospel is a transcript; and in the types and shadows of the ceremonial law: it was in some measure hid from angels, who desire to look into it, and from the Old Testament saints, to whom it was not known as it is now, by the apostles and prophets; and it was entirely hid from the Gentiles, the times of whose ignorance God overlooked: and it suggests, that it now appeared or shone out more clearly, and more largely. The Gospel had been like a candle lighted up in one part of the world, only in Judea, but now it shone out like the sun in its meridian glory, and appeared to all men; not to every individual person; it has neither shined upon, nor in everyone: it did not in the apostle's time, when it appeared the most illustrious, and shone out the most extensively, as well as the most clearly; nor has it in ages since, nor does it in ours; there are multitudes who know nothing of it, and are neither under its form nor power: but this is to be understood of all sorts of men, of every nation, of every age and sex, of every state and condition, high and low, rich and poor, bond and free, masters and servants; which sense well agrees with the context, Titus 2:2 and the words are a reason why the apostle would have duty urged on all sorts of persons, because the Gospel was now preached to all; and it had reached the hearts of all sorts of men; particularly the Gentiles may be intended from whom the Gospel was before hid, and who sat in darkness, and in the shadow of death; but now the great light shined upon them, and the Gospel was no more confined to one people only, but was preached to every creature under heaven, or to the whole creation; namely, to the Gentiles, pursuant to the commission in Mark 16:15.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
11. the grace of God—God's gratuitous favor in the scheme of redemption.
hath appeared—Greek, "hath been made to appear," or "shine forth" (Isa 9:2; Lu 1:79). "hath been manifested" (Tit 3:4), after having been long hidden in the loving counsels of God (Col 1:26; 2Ti 1:9, 10). The image is illustrated in Ac 27:20. The grace of God hath now been embodied in Jesus, the brightness of the Father's glory," manifested as the "Sun of righteousness," "the Word made flesh." The Gospel dispensation is hence termed "the day" (1Th 5:5, 8; there is a double "appearing," that of "grace" here, that of "glory," Tit 2:13; compare Ro 13:12). Connect it not as English Version, but, "The grace … that bringeth salvation to all men hath appeared," or "been manifested" (1Ti 2:4; 4:10). Hence God is called "our Saviour" (Tit 2:10). The very name Jesus means the same.
to all—of whom he enumerated the different classes (Tit 2:2-9): even to servants; to us Gentiles, once aliens from God. Hence arises our obligation to all men (Tit 3:2).

Requests for Promotion
King Marth 64 (rollback)
— King Marth 64 Talk Contributions Edit Count
I've seen many users on this Wiki and I can say King Marth 64 is one of the users that should be promoted to rollback. He rarely does mistakes and adds quite a lot of info. This Wiki needs more people like him to grow, so I vouch for him to be promoted to a rollback. As you know, I was trusted to be given administrator tools to be an admin, so I ask for the trust to be given to King Marth 64 to be given rollback tools.
- Support: HobbitsLover We're blasting off againnnn! 19:16, May 25, 2014 (UTC)
- Support: Well done you deserve my vote and this position.PlasmaX~~Wanna Talk?~~My Contributions 04:23, June 7, 2014 (UTC)
- Support: ––Slayingthehalcyon (talk) 20:40, June 7, 2014 (UTC)
- Neutral: I can't say yes, but I can't say no, either. I think this Wiki needs more rollbacks and admins, so I would kind of support King Marth 64, I would if I have seen what he has done. I honestly haven't seen what he does in general here inside the Wiki, but if already three people voted for him, it means he is indeed good. Though there is something I was reading on his userpage, it is that he is semi active. But, again, I can't say yes or no. I just hope that if he gets the rollback tools, he uses them correctly. 04:26, May 30, 2014 (UTC)

Many of us who had thought ourselves religious awoke to the limitations of this attitude. Refusing to place God first, we had deprived ourselves of His help. 12 & 12, p. 75
Many false notions operate in false pride. The need for direction to live a decent life is satisfied by the hope experienced in the A.A. Fellowship. Those who have walked the way for years–a day at a time–say that a God centered life has limitless possibilities for personal growth. This being so, much hope is transmitted by the elder A.A.s.
I thank my Higher Power for letting me know that He works through other people, and I thank Him for our trusted servants in the Fellowship who aid new members to reject their false ideals and to adopt those which lead to a life of compassion and trust. The elders in A.A. challenge the newcomers to "Come To"–so that they can "Come to Believe." I ask my Higher Power to help my unbelief.
© Alcoholics Anonymous World Services
My thoughts on July 19th Reading
Pride, ego, self-righteous anger, FEAR! Are just a few of my defects even today, but false pride is what keep me from the truth for many more years than I needed to, I can call it false pride, our just to damn stubborn to see how I was screwing up my life
My pride would not let me see myself thru the eyes others, I had no God to help me, pride and Ego would not let Him into my life, I was afraid of what He would want me to do, after all He was a condemning, vengeful, and fearful God of my understanding at that time
And that little boy inside me, just did not want Him around anymore, pride is a good thing when your ego is not in the way and your doing the right things, but to hide behind it just causes to much trouble for me so I have to let it go
I have accepted Gods will for me, only because I found the God of my new understand is all loving and forgiven, He will always show me the path I must go down, all I need to do is ask Him, the twelve steps gave me hope for a new way of life
Free from the bondage of myself, helping me to let go of my anger, fears, and resentments, it was thru the seventh step making the change in my attitude with humility, today I have real pride in what I do and who I am, a man of honor and dignity
A loving kind husband and father who found how to forgive others for the turmoil of there behaviors in my life, knowing only they can change their own behaviors, all I can do is love them and pray for them until they see the light of truth
Life with God is just fantastic and it's all right in the Twelve Steps

Your Opinion: Horstmann vs. the liberals
Wednesday, March 6, 2013
Dear Editor:
I've read the words of frequent editorial contributor, Harold Horstmann, Lohman.
Why? Because Harold has something to say and say it he does replete with copious Internet links to support his assertions.
I tolerate Harold's vitriolic attacks on all things liberal and I look forward to them. I smile and say to myself (and now to you) "How's that working for you Harold?"
Please keep up the good work you're doing to further discredit your party of choice.

text: I picked up cycling 6 weeks ago when my orthopedic surgeon told me that my knees were twice the age as the rest of my body (which is 35) and suggested cycling as an alternative to jogging. He also recommended the elliptical machine, but I feel like a hamster on those things. So, I did a lot of research on good, entry-level bikes and decided on the Giant Avail 3. The men's version (the Defy 3) had got lots of good press, so I figured the Avail would be a good choice as well. Overall, I like my bike although I'm wishing I had spent the extra money and got a bike with Shimano 105 components instead of the Sora. Since I've started, I typically ride 4-5 days a week between 15 and 20 miles at a time. My longest ride is 32 miles in a flat area. My usual route is a little hilly--nothing extreme--but enough to give my legs a good workout. Right now, I'm working on my power and pedal stroke (which is pretty bad). I'm loving my time on the bike...it's a great break from my duties as a stay at home mom as it gives me some quiet time to myself. Plus, I just feel better overall. My goal is to do a "metric century" which is scheduled for 10/17. I'd be out riding right now except that I'm coming down with a cold and feel like crap.

Upcycle Living Rolls Out Affordable Shipping Container Housing
Posted By Bridgette Meinhold On February 19, 2010 @ 10:00 am In Architecture,Green Building,Prefab Housing | 13 Comments
Phoenix-based Upcycle Living [1] is aiming to bring affordable shipping container [2] housing to the masses with its modern cost-effective designs. Just las fall they installed a 2-bedroom house at a green street fair in Phoenix, and orders started rolling in. The designers and builders now expect that they can produce a similar modular model for less than $100,000.
The 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 bathroom model installed at the street fair measured 1,280 square feet and was built out of four 40-foot shipping containers [3]. For the street fair the corrugated exterior was left as-is, so onlookers would be able to recognize it for what it was. Future models will be solar panel [4] ready and include a shade screen to help the homes remain cool in the hot desert sun. Inside, the home features recycled hardware floors [5], bamboo cabinets and new Energy Star [6] appliances. As the pictures show, it's definitely roomey inside and plenty big enough for a small family.
Upcycle Living [1] claims to be able to provide housing for at least 2/3 less than traditional stick-built homes. There are already orders for private homes, but Upcycle Living hopes to work towards building affordable housing on a larger scale and they are currently working on a development to provide housing for a Native American Tribe. Since the Haiti Earthquake [7] they have also reached out to NGOs in hopes of helping provide temporary shelters [8], permanent residences, or even medical clinics [9]. It's refreshing to see a company out there building and proving that housing costs don't have to be exorbitant.

Will NATO Protect All Members Equally?
Jarno Limnell, Breaking Defense
The Associated Press
"One for all, all for one": That's a central principle of the NATO alliance — but in recent months, multiple members have wondered whether it truly applies to them. With Russia escalating the Ukrainian conflict every day and the alliance's annual summit starting Thursday, the question of equality among the 28 member states is painfully timely.
The Baltic states and Poland in particular have in the past few months asked for "additional security guarantees." These countries want to be certain that in the case of military aggression that other NATO countries will support them – even in the face of deniable cyber and guerrilla attacks that let an aggressor hide behind proxies and blur traditional lines between peace and war.

Muggle house where Horace Slughorn stayed

The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
- "The Muggles who own this place are in the Canary Islands."
- —Horace Slughorn[src]
During his time on the run from the Death Eaters, Horace Slughorn stayed in this house in the village of Budleigh Babberton. The Muggle occupants of the house were on holiday in the Canary Islands during his stay in their home. It was here that Albus Dumbledore, accompanied by Harry Potter, managed to persuade Horace to return to Hogwarts in order to restore his previous role of Potions master.
Behind the scenes
- Horace Slughorn actually said that he did not stay in a house more than a week. He did this so Death Eaters were not able to find him. He gave regret that he would have to leave this one as he rather liked it.

A Libertarian View Of The "Grand-Standing" Over Government Shutdown
"It's really just politics as usual," notes Mark Thornton in this brief perspective-giving clip that seemingly confirms the grandstanding idiocy of our politicians that Rick Santelli pointed out earlier. Thornton notes, "Congress has been acting irresponsibly for years," enabled by an always-willing-to-lend Federal Reserve that provides no incentive for fiscal responsibility (that a gold-standard could provide). Thornton also notes that despite the fear-mongery, "it's not really government shutting down," as 'essential features of government' will remain active.

If the builk of the wealth is held in a few hands, those individuals need resources that the rest of us possess or can procure. Supply and demand. For my neighbor, I'd ask a buck or two for a loaf of bread, knowing their means are near my own. For the oligarchy, I'd ask a grand. Its not price gouging, its a reallocation of resources. In my agorist utopia, there would be nothing wrong with this practice. The exploiters would simply become exploited until some semblence of equality were restored to society. There's nothing wrong with being wealthy, but becoming wealthy through the political system is immoral.

Quite pathetic postings. I can remember similar protests when the Premiership went to Sky. 'It's the end of football' the plebs shouted. It wasn't. F1 moving to Sky will not be the end of the Grand Prix racing either. F1 will just get stronger. If you can't afford Sky you still get to watch all the races. Yes some will be a highlights package but is that a bad thing? Rather than protesting about this news you should protest about the BBC in general. Paying a license fee is just wrong. The death of the BBC can't come quick enough.

Timeless War
War is always destructive
on both of the opposing forces. Yet it is still needed at times; when diplomacy fails. War can only go so far though, and when both sides have taken casualties beyond what they had intended, the stakes are raised.
The war we are about to go into happened a long time ago
and it almost brought both of the species to extinction. The year is thirteen twenty-four; the location is unknown to today.
What we know from this war has been presented in early documents from both sides of the fight. This war was between the great Dragonians, and the noble humans. From what the documents entail, the great Dragonians were what you would label a race of dragons.
How this fight began is beyond us all
the only clue to this mystery is that a village was claimed to be destroyed by a raiding party of Dragonians. I have found more though; through a long and hard process of studying. A close friend, who is a scientist and researcher, had put together a machine to throw me back in time.
What you are about to read is my account of being in the war
the only twist is that I had ended up on a side I never thought possible. I went into the time portal human
and came out as a Dragonian. My friend states that I was never human at all
you see the Dragonians fell in numbers until they risked extinction.
In order to save the race they mated with humans so we could take on the appearance of the humans. It worked but we lost our past until I rediscovered it
and I tried to stop the war. These are my accounts of the war
August 25, 2012
"The portal is almost ready to be opened
are you sure you want to do this?" My, energy drained, friend asked as he ran his hand through his blond hair.
I nodded and replied "I am sure Flame
I must do this; because this war has been hidden for so long. We must find out what happened to the Dragonian race."
Sighing he typed more commands into the panel of screens; I looked at the giant, white, archway. It glinted in the large white walled laboratory, which belonged to my friend. Cracking my knuckles in anticipation, I turned back to see Flame jog back into the protective Command room.
He gazed down at the monitors, with a look of pure focus. I moved to stand in front of the large machine. Through the intercom, Flame announced "Drackon
this will use a large amount of energy; so the portal can only be opened for three seconds."
This meant I would have a very short amount of time to get through the portal
but I had to do this. I gave him a thumbs up showing I understood, and I scooted closer to the archway. Then Flame began the countdown "Ten
I had already begun running at the portal the second he said "one" and I almost stopped in fear. Inside the arch a bright wall of purple lighted up, wind from nowhere threw paper and debris everywhere. The lab's lights flickered already about to lose power; I threw myself at the portal and closed my eyes in fear of what was to come.
May 13, 1324
I felt dizzy and weak as I lay on the ground. Something was different but I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Slowly I opened my eyes and saw that I was laying on a dirt trail. Carefully I lifted my head and surveyed that I was in a forest
then I looked at my hands.
"AHHHHHH," I screamed in terror as I gazed in horror at what were once my hands. In front of me were two, scaly, paws
I tried to stand but could not. I fell onto all fours in a permanent quad stance. A puddle lied a few feet away and I rushed over to it. There I found the biggest shock of my life; instead of seeing my usual fleshy, human, face; I found a draconic muzzle.
I turned my head, which was easier due to my longer neck, and stared, at my red scales. Then my gaze moved to my underside
yellow scrutes overlapped each other creating protective armour for my chest, under my neck, and down to the tip of my new tail.
A small smile crept of my muzzle as I stretched my wings. I looked back at the puddle and admired my black horns, golden eyes, and small black spikes that ran down my back to the tip of my tail.
This felt right for me
but then things took a turn for the worse. "Oy ready yourselves; beast in our path!!!" A voice ordered behind me.
Quickly I whipped around to find three knights behind me; each had his weapon at the ready. The knight in the middle, who I guessed was the leader, said to me in a disgusted tone "You have been caught you mongrel
now prepare to die."
Anger swept my mind of all clear thinking and I roared. I stopped and looked down at the pathetic three humans that called themselves noble warriors. "You three have ran into a very generous person today
now walk and I let you live." I growled.
A knight with a mace chuckled "You call yourself a person
you are nothing more than an animal
we do not walk in fear from animals."
This upped my level of anger to another level and I stood to full height. For a second I saw fear cross the man's face, but it didn't last long before the knight on the right charged at me with a steel great-sword.
Effortlessly I sidestepped and lashed at him with my tail; it met with his middle and he was sent flying. I growled at the others as the knight with the mace stared in terror at me. The leader pulled out a plain iron short-sword and glared at me "You have angered my party and I
prepare to face me to answer for that."
I busted out laughing as the brave warrior lashed at me with his sword. Lifting my leg out of the way I brought it down and squished him. Slowly I looked at the remaining knight and said "I am giving you one last chance
run and forget you ever saw me."
He nodded in understanding and took off back the way he came. "Well done
I must admit I thought you would not have the ability to take on those slayers." I turned to face a black and yellow dragon.
I sat and looked at him as he studied me; then I replied "Knights do not survey their enemies to test if they stand a chance or not."
The dragon looked at me and asked "Where did you study your fighting technique
I am afraid I have not seen anything like it."
"I have taught myself my own style of fighting; no other instructor required." I answered feeling proud to say this.
He nodded and approached me, and then he sat directly in front of me. His light blue eyes stared at me; until he finally introduced himself "I have many names from the humans
but our race calls me Grusong."
I lowered my head in respect and stated "An honor
my title is Drackon Druvious."
When I looked back up at him his muzzle reflected shock. "Druvious
no it cannot be you; the prophesized one that would save us all from this murderous war."
Now I had become confused "What are you rambling about
how does my name spark such a topic with these Prophesies of which you speak?"
"According to the great seer a red scaled Dragonian from a far off land; comes to save us all from the destruction of mankind." Grusong replied in answer to my question.
Quickly he stood and sniffed the air; then he looked at me and stated "More humans approach
It is not safe here we must go to the camp so we can talk."
Without warning he threw open his powerful wings and took off into the air. I had never flown before but I felt instinct tug at my mind; I let my body do what felt right. My wings opened and I hopped into the air; with a few flaps I was hovering above the ground.
I heard the humans getting closer so I wasted no time and I flapped my wings some more.
It wasn't long before I had caught up with Grusong; he led and I trailed behind him. The forest below was lost as we traveled further into mountainous country.
Smoke could be seen from one very large, flat mountain peak. Dragonians had stronger lungs than the humans, I decided, because judging the height from the mountains; the air would be too thin for any human to breath.
We angled towards the peak and soon I spotted a huge war camp of Dragonians. Grusong landed in the middle of the camp and I landed beside him; he motioned for me to follow. While we walked I looked around in great interest; forges made for Dragonian paws were scattered everywhere.
Dragonians, suited up in armour, were busy gathering in practice formations. There were small hatchlings and dragonesses working or playing outside the tents that housed them. Grusong led me into a large battle conference tent and sat down on the ground since there were no chairs. I did the same and sat like a dog would; then I noticed two other dragons gazing at me.
"Nice to see you have brought a new recruit Grusong
but we do not expect you to bring the recruit here to us." A large, golden dragon said looking at me.
Grusong sighed and answered "I brought him for a reason Recriff."
"Now what is your reason for this intrusion?" A battle scarred, Green and black, dragon asked.
I shifted uncomfortably as his gaze turned to me. Grusong saved me from the dragon's harsh look by saying "This is not just any average recruit
please tell them your name."
"My name is Drackon Druvious," I told the two dragons sitting across from us.
Their expressions turned to that of shock and matched Grusong's almost perfectly. Outside, a light rain had begun to fall; the sound of the practicing Dragonian militia also filled the quiet air inside the tent.
Recriff, the golden dragon, was the first to recover and he replied in a grave voice "Get him out of here Grusong
This caught Grusong off guard and he questioned "What are you talking about
I found the one to save us all!?!"
"Get him out of here
we do not trust these legends of old tales, but the humans will raise hell if they find he is around." The green dragon said in a hurried tone.
Grusong slammed a heavy paw onto the table in anger, and roared "Are you two too thick skulled to understand that we can end the war now; all we have to do is follow this young fellow into battle!?!"
Recriff growled menacingly "Get
My wing was grabbed by Grusong; and he turned me towards the exit. I walked out and the other dragon replied "By the way
don't bother coming back
you have been relieved of your duties."
Grusong strolled ahead of me and I decided it was best to give him his space at the moment. Bystanders jumped out of the way of him as he growled at them to move. The wet ground mushed underfoot as we traveled out of the camp and into the isolated mountains.
The sun set quickly and without warning Grusong lay down on the grass underneath a tree. I warily curled up under a tree across from him and rested my head upon my paws.
"I do not understand how they can be so ignorant
stupid even." He said as he pawed at the ground.
With the silence broke by him I took this time to reply, "Well maybe they are right
if I am predicted to save you all, and the humans know about me. Then they would go through hell to get me."
The rain continued falling through the green pine trees. I did not feel the cold because of my new form but I knew that, being this high in the mountains, meant it was very cold. Eventually the sun had disappeared completely, leaving us in the dark.
He looked at me with hurt eyes and stated "I found you for a reason
now we don't even have the main force to help us. All has been lost for our kind because of this decision."
I returned his gaze, "Not all is lost
perhaps we were supposed to do this alone?"
"That may be
no that must be the way to do this
it HAS to be the way." Grusong muttered to himself; suddenly he stood and began to pace. I watched him as he talked under his breath, thinking about things I couldn't hear.
After, what seemed like the longest time, he stopped and said "I know where we can end this fight."
I too stood and asked "Where would this be then?"
His face turned to match anger and doom as he explained, "The human king
Oliver Castaway; if we kill him the humans will be forced to retreat due to the heavy casualties and no one to lead them."
Nodding, to show I understood, I replied "It sounds like a fair plan, risky, but a good idea."
Grusong sighed and told more; "The only problem is getting to the man."
"What do you mean; it can't be that hard can it," I questioned as I shifted uneasily.
Chuckling he said "It is a king we are talking about
they will have him surrounded with archers, guards, knights, and even slayers."
Grunting I shook my head free from the annoying rain; "Then how about we try a different approach then the "Hack and Slash" tactic?"
"I take it you have a different strategy then
go on, out with it," he ordered, eager to listen.
A smile crossed my face as I replied; "He thinks we are animals does he not?"
Grusong growled; "The baffoon thinks we are less than animals."
"I see
well he will not think of us as that if we come with a surrender note." I laughed as I thought of my plan.
Water dripped onto his muzzle and he backed up under his tree; "I refuse to surrender
we don't even have the authority to issue a surrender."
"No we don't
but it will allow us to enter his camp and tent unharmed." I replied.
He looked at me darkly saying, "I see your plan
no I will not kill him with him thinking we are there peacefully. That is a coward's way of ending a war."
I returned to my tree and said, "I was not thinking about that
what if we chatted with the king and got HIM to surrender."
"Impossible; he would never back down
just look at how he has run the number of his people down to a dangerous level." He sighed and started to paw at the ground again.
This was the truth from everything I have heard; "I say it is worth a shot and if it doesn't succeed
then we will fight outside his tent so we will have to fight him and his guards."
As he heard this, Grusong stopped his small attack on the dirt and raised his eye ridge at me. "You think this will work then?"
I grinned and answered, "Let me show you how to end a war without an army."
Then we started laughing; happy to find a possible way out of this bloody mess. After we had calmed down, Grusong stated "We must get some sleep then
we have a long day ahead of us."
I yawned in agreement, and rested my head back onto my paws. Before I knew what was happening, I had fallen into a deep sleep.
May 14, 1324
Before the sun had risen, I was awoken by Grusong. Quickly, we had a small breakfast of squirrel and two rabbits. I found out that raw meat, was very good tasting and I couldn't catch any diseases that it could carry.
Grusong led the way through the mountains and finally we found a large plateau. "We will fly from here; it will be around noon by the time we get there."
I turned to face him and then nodded. I was ready to stop this war
even though I had only been a part of it for a day. With a running start he leaped off the edge of the cliff, and he pumped his wings already flying away.
Doing the same thing, I followed suit and flew beside him. Luckily flying wasn't boring, because if it was, the long journey would have driven me to the edge, with boredom. Forest rolled endlessly below us, then that changed to flat open plains.
Enjoying the scenery, I looked down at the land below me. Then the beauty of it turned ugly, the plains were burned and scarred by battle. Smoke rose from scorched grass. Bodies of dead warriors, both humans and Dragonian, lay in staggering numbers, upon the ground defeated.
"Do not look at that
this is where we have failed; but now you must succeed." Grusong hung his head sadly.
The war had destroyed not only the two opposing groups, but everything around them as well. Soon the battlefield had passed below and we made our way to the human camp. Walls, made from pine trunks, surrounded the large camp. Smoke from fires, rose from the camp.
There seemed to be millions of tents, although many were for storage of supplies and weapons. Together, Grusong and I landed outside the main entrance of the human's camp.
"State your business or leave now!" we looked up to find a force of archers on top of the wall.
Arrows were aimed at us with deadly accuracy. It was Grusong who made the first move, "We are here bringing news of a surrender
this is a peaceful mission."
Unsure, the archers lowered their weapons slowly. "You may pass
but go only to the king's tent." A young, blond headed, man told us.
I followed Grusong as he led me to the king's quarters. Two knights were stationed outside of the tent's entrance; one, in heavy iron armour, raised his gloved hand and said "The king is inside but if we hear any commotion
we will have your heads."
When he lowered his arm, we proceeded inside. The king was sitting on a chair behind a large, oak, table. Papers were strewn about in a chaotic manner; Grusong sat and I did the same.
I studied the king, in his early thirties it seemed, light brown hair, green eyes, and a beard that surrounded his mouth. He wore an elegant tunic, embroidered with his family's crest.
The king looked up at us and asked, in an unhappy tone, "Are you here to ask for your land back?"
Grusong shook his head and replied; "You took our land, we gave you war
but we are here to ask something differently of you."
Now it was my turn as he faced me; "Yes; king we beg of you to surrender your forces
the Dragonian leaders are too stubborn to do so. We thought you had more sense then they, in this matter."
Sighing he sat back in his chair and replied; "I understand
you two are not with them anymore; are you not?"
Both, Grusong and I, shook our heads and the king continued; "So you wish of me to surrender
so we can end this hardship. I will do so
but the only problem is; I want s to share the land equally."
I nodded; "It sounds to be a fair request
does it not Grusong?"
Smiling he said; "Yes it sounds to be an agreeable term
will when you issue a surrender dear king?"
The tired man looked at him saying; "Immediately; I am tired of this war
go on and bring word to your people; we are at peace."
The three of us smiled and shook paws, and hand, with one another. We bid our farewells and exited the tent. "That went well
I am surprised; he is nothing like the tales I have heard of him." Grusong chuckled as we took off into the sky.
"What do you mean
I thought you have met the man before?" I asked looking at him as we flew onward to the Dragonian camp.
Grusong looked over at me and answered; "In truth I have not
I have heard only stories of how he thought us to be animals; I feel bad for thinking that now."
"So this entire time
all you had to do is ask for peace and it would have been given. The only thing that stopped you was some stories and gossip." I thought out loud.
Groaning he nodded; I laughed and continued on to the camp. We talked as we traveled and
it seemed like only a few minutes had passed by the time we had arrived at the camp. The Dragonian warriors were going on with another training round.
We entered the battle plan tent and instantly we were met with hostility. "Grusong I told you to leave this area
now you will be killed and your friend too." Recriff said and two armed guards started towards us.
Quickly Grusong raised a paw and stated; "We bring news from King Oliver of the humans."
The room grew silent and the two guards stopped their approach. "King Oliver has ordered a surrender
on the grounds we share the land as equals and no one can claim ownership to it, unless purchased." Grusong smiled as he saw Recriff's face.
can this be; how did you do this?" He asked in surprise
Motioning to me, Grusong stated; "It was not my idea
but this young lad's idea that saved us all."
Recriff rushed over to me and stuck out his paw; I took it and we shook. "Thank-you for this
I am sorry for earlier but you must understand that I didn't want to risk our safety."
"I understand fully," I replied as he looked at me smiling.
Everything form then passed in a blur of commotion; everyone started to celebrate. Soon it grew dark; and it was time for me to say my good-bye. I walked out into the forest with Grusong by my side.
I stopped and we looked at each other; "It is time for me to go
you have been a great friend Grusong."
He looked at me sadly and replied "As well as you have been a great companion to me."
We shook paws and he turned to leave; over his shoulder he called, "Have fun in your time
the past isn't for you."
I watched in awe as I realized he knew where I had come from. He left and I touched my paw to a mark on my right foreleg. It glowed white for a minute; and then I passed out.
When I awoke; I was laying on a bed inside Flame's lab. Expecting I would be human again I went to stand but I fell on all fours. The thrill of feeling right filled me with joy.
Looking into a mirror, on the wall by a door leading out of the room, confirmed I was still a dragon. As I was admiring myself the door opened; a silver and yellow dragon entered my room.
Quickly I turned and looked at him; I stared until I finally saw a familiar face "F-Flame
is that really you?"
He burst out laughing with joy and said "Yes is it
seems like you succeeded in your task."
I nodded and replied "Has anything else changed?"
"A better question would be; 'What hasn't changed?" He looked at me with happy eyes and turned on a TV, in the corner of the room.
A grim faced, female, reporter came on saying; "It seems something has occurred
something very phenomenal." Flame chuckled and I continued watching.
"What used to be everyday world citizens; are now dragons. Scientists are unsure of what caused this sudden change; but are aware that this is not a contagious disease." The TV was turned off and Flame looked at me grinning. "I always wanted to do this
change people into something that they really were deep down."
I laughed and replied "Now what is our task at paw?"
"Well it's time you and I went out and told the world what really happened on May fourteenth, thirteen twenty-four." I smiled as he said this.
Time is a funny thing
on it can play its roll. We can help though; now time had taken a twist and things went with it. This was going to be fun and I got to play a heavy role in it.
