May 29, 2016
Meridian Naval Air Station remembered Dr. martin Luther King, Jr. with a special service Friday. NAS will be closed for the holiday, Monday, Jan. 21.
The commemorative service acknowledged Dr. King's contributions to the nation in pushing forward civil rights for minorities.
Guest speaker, Lt/ Leon Leflore encouraged others to 'remember, celebrate and act' on King's non-violent ideals.
Leflore said King's influence has greatly influenced his career:
"It's because of him that I have the opportunities that I have today," said Leflore. "Those folks who have laid down for us in our paths have now brought us to where we are here today, and in our future."
Leflore is a native of Crystal Springs. He's a highly decorated officer who has served in the Pentagon, as well as in support of operations Southern Watch and Desert Fox. He now serves as the administrator for NAS Meridian.

Campground closed due to fire
Published: Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at 10:56 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at 10:56 a.m.
ALTOONA – As firefighters continue to respond to the Hopkins Prairie Fire in the Ocala National Forest and nearby private property, the Hopkins Prairie Campground has been closed to visitors effective immediately.
Fire crews from the U.S. Forest Service, Florida Forest Service and Marion County Fire Rescue continue to respond to the fire that now encompasses approximately 2,025 acres, according to the Forest Service. Fire management officers have been able to get a more accurate accounting of the total acreage involved as they reinforce fire lines and mop up around structures. The fire remains around 80 percent contained.
Public and firefighter safety are a priority as they continue to extinguish the fire. Motorists are cautioned to drive slowly with lights on while traveling in smoky areas. Fog can mix with smoke and decrease visibility further, noted the Forest Service.
State Road 19 North has been re-opened during the day to through traffic and area residents can return to their homes. Travelers may experience a road closure at State Road 19 North if smoke conditions worsen.
Today, smoke is expected to be localized in the area of State Road 19 North and smoke may be visible in the Crescent City area.
For home and structure related information as a result of the Hopkins Prairie Fire, contact Marion County Fire Rescue at 572-5191.

Amy Kuney
Genres: Alternative/Indie, Folk, Pop
With Amy Kuney, appearances are certainly deceiving. Sure, the singer/songwriter looks youthful, perhaps even younger than the early 20s bracket she occupies, but just wait until she sits down at a piano and starts singing. The onstage presence and authority she displays is impressive for an artist of any age, and that's before you even notice her songwriting, which resounds with finely observed details and engaging left turns. Perhaps this is because Kuney isn't your typical young artist. She has nearly 20 years of musical experience, having begun piano lessons at age four. Between church performances and piano recitals, she's been onstage for most of her life, to say nothing of 100... Continue Bio >>

Everytime I'm drawing a city map, I'm using as inspiration cadastral maps (like this one), where every house is pasted to another, as in a real medieval city.
It's tedious by hand and, as I'm weak in Photoshop, more tedious with a computer.
So I've extensively browsed the maps and the tutorials of the great masters here (Torstan, Ascension, Pyrandon to name a few of this cartographic prophets), but everytime I was a little put back, because it wasn't exactly what I needed.
Sure, their maps are more beautiful, simpler, better in every way, but I still wanted my indivudal houses in blocks with no streets or pavement around them. Or I wanted straight, realistic houses, not a mosaic pattern which looks like bees have won the war.
Finally, with my poor skills, I've come to a technique to have what I want :
I'm beginning with the tutorial of Aidybaby (Pyrandon's or Ascension's is good too to begin, and a few others use the technique), where you make the roads and streets and little ways by litteraly erasing the buildings' layer.
- When my districts are made and the style layers set to bevel and emboss to give the look of roofs, my problem is : it just seems there are giant buildings, no little collated houses.
- So I work in the layer mask with the line shape tool (1 pixel sized, with pixels option, 50% opacity) to divide the big districts into little properties. It's better and less messy than with a brush, and you can have straight lines at every angle (no bee cities anymore)
I include a picture with only a few of the districts divided, so you see the difference. It's just a test file, do not pay attention to the esthetics, just to the goal I wanted to achieve.
I must add it's very easy with this method to change the color of building, to give individual meanings to each building (as in maps like these)
What do you think of that ?

The ′Nakba Law′ has had a chilling effect on the ability of 1.7 million Palestinians with Israeli citizenship to hold activities commemorating Nakba Day. By Ylenia Gostoli in Jaffa

Election 2013 Town of Hempstead Council District 4
Patrick Gillespie opposes Anthony Santino
1 2 3 4 5 Next page >
Two East Rockaway residents, longtime Town of Hempstead Councilman Anthony Santino, a Republican, seeking his sixth term, and political newcomer and Democrat Patrick Gillespie are running for the four-year term in Council District 4.
Santino: Keep developments within younger residents' economic means — so that they can afford to live here. And we also increased housing stock by expanding eligibility for mother-daughter type housing. The easy answer is building high-rise apartments or sprawling complexes that may remain empty, forever altering our suburban character of life. Hempstead Town's approach must be more balanced; we don't want to overburden our schools or infrastructure. The town approves affordable workforce housing that enhance, not detract, from our prized suburban lifestyle. We also encourage the construction of senior housing since it frees one-family housing stock for first-time homebuyers.

I think I got this thing figured out in regards to chain "Sandwich/Sub" joints and how to distinguish them all from each other.
Subway: The Original. Get to see your sub made right in front of you...classic meats/cheese/toppings available to you, giving a feeling that you made your own type of sub....etc. They also have big brand name chips (i.e. doritos/sun chips etc.) and cookies available.
Blimpie: Lower version to Subway for some reason. Total Knock off job of Subway....but when you are in a pickle....they were a decent lunch or dinner. Brand name chips. But are they even around anymore?
Quiznos: First to utilize the "toasted" sub. And, you get to watch them make it/toast it right in front of you. Fantastic and "fancier" meat combos...and great dipping accessories. Original in their own right due to the toasting. They even were the first ones to get SOUP into play as well - and a upscale soup involved as well. Fancy chips too. I mean come on, once these guys hit the mainstream public, Subway freaked out and started asking people if they wanted their sub toasted.....just wasn't the same as "the Quiz."
Jimmy Johns: Classic bread, no need for toasting. They have their own style with what meat/cheese/accessories go into a specific sandwich based on a number system. You don't get to watch the sub get made....you just have to wait for the goodness to come to you. They also have "fancier" chips than Subway. They usually have "stoner" employees that certainly enjoy the specific tastes in which sandwich you ordered. They also have sweet delivery...where these similar companies do not.
Planet Sub. They are the Toasted version of Jimmy Johns. They don't make the sub in front of you. They have their own style/number system much like JJ's but they are toasting their unique sandwich creations. Fancy chips too. They have soup as well....where JJ's does not.
My rankings on the SUB Chains:
1. Quiznos - They freaking rule. Toasted is the way to go and their meat/sause/dipping selection puts them at No. 1. Expensive though, but it is worth it.
2. Jimmy Johns - Their already created subs are just tough to beat. Nice chips. Great delivery too.
3. Subway - It is still classic.
4. Planet Sub - These guys are solid. Nice sandwiches like JJ's but toasted. With soup...they could be tough.
5. Blimpie - Seriously, are they gone? They just got sent to the woodshed by Subway...then really went away when Quiznos hit the block.
IF I forgot to mention anybody, I sincerely apologize.
I'm almost positive that subway always had sub before Quizno's came along.
Can't let SubCity in Marshalltown go unmentioned. They don't do "footlong" or 6". They do whole or half - the whole is 16" long and the most expensive one is $7.00. Not only do they build the sandwhich in front of you, they slice the meat and cheese infront of you. They offer all kinds of meats beyond "ham, beef and turkey", including most of the good italien stuff that I won't even try to spell here. Same thing for cheeses. It's top notch sandwhich fare, and is worth the look if you're in the Marshalltown area. It's in downtown, just NW of the courthouse on Main Street. I know there are other SubCity locations in Iowa, and I've heard they're all pretty poor.
You can spend a lot of time and money picking out the perfect floral bouquet for your date ... but you're probably better off checking if you have bad breath and taking the porn out of the glove compartment.
The moral: you gain more by not being stupid, than you do by being smart. Smart gets neutralized by other smart people. Stupid does not.
B and B grocery Store on the southside blows them all out of the water.
Nobody but HB knows for sure. You pretty much know nothing....like Knownothing would like to say.
Yes, Blimpie is still around, and I prefer them over Subway, JJs, and Quiznos- by a long shot. Planet Sub is pretty dang good, but the one in Ames is NEVER open when I need a sandwich at night. For being on the outskirts of Campustown, their hours are atrocious. They better change those fast, or they'll go out of business just like everything else that's been in that location. I went to the Planet Sub on University and 23rd (I think?) in DM, right by Drake, and loved it.
True and Valiant
I also remember a game with Kansas when Cy (wore a huge suit then) went out to center field, squatted, and "pooped" a couple of chickens that had been dyed blue then chased them around.

Oh, and as Iowa State fans/alums, we're going ourselves a ridiculous disservice by not mentioning West Street Deli. Holy BALLS, that place is good.
Remember: we are discussing national CHAINS. I mean, I loved West Street Deli....but it is not a chain.

I like the B&B killer sandwich but I prefer Sub City in Cedar falls.
In Des Moines i would choose Jimmy Johns over the other chains.
I like B and B on the south side as well, just dont get down there enough. Out of the "chains" listed above I would go with jimmy johns because of their delivery aspect. The price/taste is pretty good as well. Quiznos is good, but can be pricey. Never actually been to a planet sub and don't go to subway or blimpie any longer.
Go Cubs Go!
Lets Play Two-Ernie Banks
I've never really been that into Quizno's. I think they want to be the Arby's to Subway's Burger King, the problem is they just aren't as good as Arby's to justify the price.
1) Locally owned "Mom & Pop" Delis
2) Schlotzsky's
3) Everyone else.
Never cared for Blimpie. Mostly grown up on Subway, but Jimmy John's certainly has it's own merits (good food, but it's different from Subway). Only been to quizno's a few times... it's certainly good too but I've got a long history with Subway that is hard to sway me from
Oh we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State,
and may her colors ever fly!!!

If you are in Austin, you must try Thundercloud Subs. Other good chains you won't find in Ames are Which Wich and Potbelly's.
I should disclose that I am a former Subway Sandwich Artist and may be a bit biased.

Ann Arbor, MI (Sports Network) - All it took for Michigan to end a two-game
skid was to play a team with a longer losing streak.
But it sure wasn't easy.
Trey Burke scored 29 points and Glenn Robinson III added 21 with 10 rebounds,
as the fourth-ranked Wolverines kept Penn State winless in Big Ten play with a
79-71 victory at the Crisler Center.
Nik Stauskas chipped in 18 points for Michigan (22-4, 9-4 Big Ten), which had
lost three of its last four and was coming off a humbling 75-52 loss at
Michigan State on Tuesday.
Jermaine Marshall and Sasa Borovnjak each scored 17 points for the Nittany
Lions (8-17, 0-13), who led for most of the first half Sunday and never
trailed by double digits. Penn State still came up short and has lost 13
straight games since an 84-74 win over Duquesne on Dec. 29.

Each puppy square is made singly, and then crocheted together with a coordinating trim to create a size lap afghan. The pillow matches the puppy design on the afghan. If you want a bigger size for the quilt, just make more squares. A larger afghan will fit the size of a bed or can be used to drape over a chair or sofa.

Even a beginning crocheter will have success making this fun afghan design. The puppy design would be great in scrap colors to give it a creative and personal touch.

When you travel to Eastern Europe, you'll peer behind the former Iron Curtain and find a region and people who are an integral part of contemporary European life. This is a vibrant world with its own deeply ingrained character and a 2,000-year-old cultural heritage that bridges the gap between the East and West. We've built into your Eastern European itinerary rare opportunities for you to meet the people where they live, work, and play. Dine in the home of a Polish family, meet with the son of an Auschwitz survivor, and learn about Hungary's political past and present during a discussion with a university professor.
hiddenDay 1Depart U.S.
Travel to Eastern Europe today for your flight to Berlin. Please refer to your individual air itinerary for exact flight times.
hiddenDay 2Berlin, Germany
Arrive this morning or afternoon in Berlin. A Grand Circle representative will meet you at the airport and assist with the transfer to your hotel, where you'll meet your Program Director and your fellow travelers (including those who took our Berlin, Germany pre-trip extension) and enjoy an orientation walk in the area surrounding your hotel.
Gather with your travel companions this evening for a Welcome Drink and briefing, followed by a Welcome Dinner at your hotel.
hiddenDay 3Berlin • Optional Potsdam tour
Discover the city that once represented the Cold War and is now the face of the rebirth of Eastern Europe on an included city tour that will introduce you to Berlin's rich history and vibrant present. You'll visit the Brandenburg gate, a symbol of triumphant spirit which is perhaps Berlin's most recognizable landmark. You'll also discover Checkpoint Charlie, the most famous crossing between the two German states, and a powerful symbol of the divide between East and West.
The spirit of modern Berlin is also well represented in the new Reichstag building. The original structure was badly damaged by the Soviets during the battle for Berlin at the end of World War II. The reconstructed building now features an impressive glass dome on top of the building, to represent the openness and transparency of the German government for the modern age. You'll see the Reichstag building from the outside during your tour.
The afternoon is yours to explore on your own, or you may want to visit Potsdam, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, during an optional tour. You'll discover Glienicke Bridge, better known as the "Bridge of Spies" during the Cold War. Then visit the Cecilienhof Palace to discover the important role Potsdam played during the post-World War II era. Stalin, Truman, and Churchill met here to determine how to deal with a defeated Germany. You will also enjoy a walk through the gardens at Sanssouci Park, which offers a large selection of flowers across the sprawling landscape. The cost of this optional tour includes dinner.
hiddenDay 4Berlin • Warsaw, Poland
After breakfast, depart Berlin for Warsaw, traveling by train.
Arrive in Warsaw late this afternoon. This evening, get acquainted with the area around your hotel on an orientation walk before dinner at a local restaurant.
hiddenDay 5Warsaw • Home-Hosted Dinner
After breakfast this morning, set off on a half-day Warsaw city tour. Once a vibrant and glorious capital, Warsaw suffered heavy damage during World War II, and the Nazis virtually destroyed it after the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. Its rebirth and rebuilding since the end of the war is inspirational, as you'll see on your visit to the historic reconstructed Old Town, surrounded by 14th- and 15th-century walls. Located on the left bank of the Vistula, the "Queen of Polish Rivers," Old Town's narrow, winding streets, charming houses, churches, and cobblestone marketplace will enchant you. Your walk will be enhanced by the fact that the Old Town is closed to all traffic except pedestrians and horse-drawn cabs. Travel down the Royal Road, from beautiful Lazienki Park to the Royal Palace, and stand before the Heroes of the Ghetto Memorial, a large but simple slab of dark granite in the heart of the World War II Jewish ghetto.
Spend the afternoon at your leisure. This evening, you'll have a unique opportunity to see how the Polish people really live, and to get acquainted with a local family as you break bread and share conversation with them during an intimate dinner in their home. Your visit will give you invaluable insight into the daily lives of this region. During this exclusive cultural exchange, witness firsthand the proud traditions of generations past, gain an appreciation of the importance of family in this culture, and perhaps look into the eyes of Poland's future in its young adults and children. And, of course, a highlight of your visit will be a delicious, traditional home-cooked meal, and maybe even some of that famed Polish vodka.
hiddenDay 6Warsaw • Auschwitz discussion • Optional Chopin piano recital
This morning, meet with the son of a former Auschwitz prisoner to learn about the strength and courage of a concentration camp survivor.
The rest of day is yours to relax or explore—or a little of both. You may want to revisit places that you saw on yesterday's city tour. Maybe you'll enjoy a bird's-eye overview of the city from the towering Palace of Culture and Science. From here, you can gaze across the Vistula River at the Praga, a former artisans' district.
Ask your Program Director for suggestions on where to dine on your own tonight. Warsaw is teeming with kawiarnia (cafes), which move outdoors in the summer. You may want to find one where you can enjoy your evening meal.
Or, in the early evening, you can attend an optional Chopin piano recital with dinner, enjoying the music of Poland's best-known and most beloved musician.
hiddenDay 7Warsaw • Krakow
After an early breakfast, travel to one of Eastern Europe's cultural capitals, Krakow, during a 200-mile transfer that takes a full day (including stops). During the transfer, you'll pause for a visit to the shrine at Czestochowa. Religion and spirituality are an integral part of Polish society—deeply felt and solemnly celebrated. You'll experience this for yourself during your visit to the 14th-century Jasna Gora Monastery in Czestochowa.
Once a year, tens of thousands of pilgrims walk from Warsaw to Czestochowa to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption. It's a nine-day journey, one that dramatically symbolizes the religious devotion of the Polish people. What draws them is the legendary "Black Madonna," a Byzantine painting of the Virgin Mary that is housed in the hilltop Jasna Gora Monastery. The portrait, which is attributed to St. Luke, has several levels of significance to the Polish people. It became the eternal symbol of Polish nationalism in the 17th century when a small band of soldiers and monks successfully defended the sanctuary against a Swedish assault. Additionally, the portrait is said to have miraculous powers. The slashes on her cheeks are believed to have been wrought by a would-be thief who became enraged during his attempted theft when the painting mysteriously grew heavier and heavier, forcing him to leave it behind.
You'll find yourself among a community of devout Poles of all ages and classes, the monastery's religious populace, and the bustling market with religious statues, rosary beads, and mementos.
Please note: The shrine of Czestochowa is one of the most-visited religious sites, so travelers should expect large crowds and there is a chance you may not be able to see the Black Madonna, particularly during pilgrimage.
Upon your arrival in Krakow—the seat of Poland's oldest university and the capital of the country until 1596—join your Program Director for a vicinity walk to familiarize yourself with the area around your hotel.
Gather with your fellow travelers for dinner this evening and enjoy included entertainment during a folk performance.
hiddenDay 8Krakow • Krakow in the Age of Copernicus discussion • Optional Wieliczka Salt Mines tour
In the fifteenth century, the legendary astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus studied at the University of Krakow, fostering a love of science, mathematics, and philosophy that would help to fuel his subsequent revolutionary scientific breakthroughs. You'll learn more about Krakow's role in the Scientific Revolution during a Krakow in the Age of Copernicus exclusive Discovery Series lecture this morning.
You'll then have the opportunity to explore Krakow's seven centuries of architecture during an included city tour. In 1978, the city was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's full of cathedrals, churches, and sacred art. Krakow survived World War II with little damage, and the city center stands today much as it did during its medieval days. You'll visit Market Square, the center of city life for more than 700 years. Admire the elegant plaza ringed with churches and regal medieval buildings, with the enormous Draper's Hall market as the focal point. You'll also explore the Old Jewish quarter of Kazimierz, and stroll through its narrow streets.
This afternoon, enjoy free time to make your own discoveries, perhaps taking in one of the city's many fine museums.
Or, join an optional tour to the Wieliczka Salt Mines this afternoon—working mines that have been in operation for more than seven centuries, producing about 700 tons of pure salt per day. These fascinating mines are considered one of Europe's great wonders and are protected by UNESCO as a historic monument. Here are more than 2,000 caverns of underground beauty on nine main levels—breathtaking chambers, galleries, and salt lakes. After exploring the mines, end the day with a typical Polish dinner in a local restaurant, accompanied by a sample of Zubrowka, the famous Polish vodka.
Dinner is on your own this evening.
hiddenDay 9Krakow • AuschwitzFOUNDATION VISIT
This morning may be an emotional one, as you visit Oswiecim, better known to Americans by its German name of Auschwitz. This is the location of the State Museum of Auschwitz-Birkenau, set on the site of the largest of the World War II concentration camps as a memorial to the millions of Jews, Gypsies, and "enemies" of the Nazi regime who were killed here. Grand Circle Foundation has donated generously to assist in the expansion of this educational center.
You'll visit the infamous concentration camp at Auschwitz and make a brief stop at Birkenau, often referred to as Auschwitz II. This was one of about 40 satellite camps built around Auschwitz.
You'll then return to Krakow and spend this free afternoon at leisure.
hiddenDay 10Krakow • Optional Zakopane tour
Enjoy a full day to discover the treasures of Krakow on your own. Or, join us for an optional full-day tour to Zakopane, a lovely town in the foothills of the Tatra Mountains.

hiddenDay 14Prague • Budapest, Hungary
After an early breakfast, begin your day-long ride to Budapest (about 300 miles). You'll stop for an included lunch in Bratislava. The capital of Slovakia, Bratislava has a history dating to Celtic and Roman times. Though the Czech Republic and Slovakia were united as Czechoslovakia for nearly 75 years, they each have distinctive personalities, languages, and landscapes. You'll get a taste of Slovakian fare during lunch here, along with a lovely walk with your Program Director in the Old Town of Bratislava.
After checking into your hotel in Budapest, enjoy a Welcome Drink. Dinner is on your own this evening.

Cross over the Danube bridges and see how the imposing Parliament Building dominates Pest, on the other side of the river.
From the Elisabeth Bridge, the tour takes you to Heroes Square, with monuments to all the Hungarian kings.
Your afternoon is free to explore on your own. Perhaps you'll want to return to Vaci Utca, the shop-lined, pedestrian-only street where you'll find excellent Herend porcelain, peasant embroidery, and other souvenirs of Hungary. Or you may want to visit Castle Hill, encircled by ramparts that protect the massive castle complex.

Yaxley the secret keeper?
Does taking someone into the fidelius charm make them a secret keeper? I guess this is not supposed to work like that, wouldn't it just make the protected place visible to the person? It's actually a bit confusing since later Harry was wondering about other Death Eaters into Grimmauld 12. So is Yaxley a secret keeper? --Gato1985 14:06, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
I would imagine that this means he was "In on the secret". If Dumbledore had died at this point (I can't remember when this was but I'm assuming he has as they're all against Snape if I remember correctly - sorry, not so good with canon events) all previous people in on the secret were Keepers. Yaxley was simply the first person to be bought in as someone who knew where it was but couldn't tell anyone. The reason why Hermione was scared was because Snape knew the Secret before Sirius died and so was a Secret Keeper himself. I could be wrong D: though so don't take my word for it. Terily 21:11, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
No. He has the secret, so he knows where the building is, but unless the Secret Keepers died, Yaxley would not be one, so he wouldn't be able to bring people into the Fedelius Charm, but he'd be able to go in on his own. This was one of those things that J.K. Rowling must've overlooked. Cubhicbu 17:35, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
Actually she didn´t; it´s explained in the book, that, when dumbledore died, everyone who knew the secret essentialy became a secret kepper - including snape. sow after yaxley knew, they were using the house, they couldn´t use it anymore because snape could get people inside - ???
You forget that Mundungus Fletcher was one too (which is why he can get inside the HQ) and so it may have been him that did it rather then Snape. - Anonymous Thinker.
I removed "but more clumsy in matters that rely on emotion and intuition" due to the comments she makes to Harry @ the ending of the 5th book, regarding that failed Valentine's Day. She seemed pretty understanding. 220.127.116.11 03:10, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
I cleaned up some of the broken sentences and general grammar, although I didn't make any major changes other than listing the theory that she may also have romantic feelings for Ron, since her assumed feelings for Harry are mentioned.
Age Problem
I'm Trying to understand if Hermione Was born in 1979 then she would be 28 now, is that right? I thought books came out in unison with the events. Where did these dates come from? WhiteKnight 21:02, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, she would be 28 now, in 2007. However, the books' timeframe runs from 1991 to 1998; this is based on the dating on Nearly Headless Nick's deathday cake in Chamber of Secrets, who died in 1492 and was celebrating his 500th deathday then. We conclude that 1992 is the year in which the events of CoS are taking place in, and from there we can deduce the birthdates of the other characters in the series. 126.96.36.199 11:05, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Oh good so when you know, the Series ends and it will be like "Star Wars" and other authors write stuff (or so I hope) my writings wont inflict.(hehe)WhiteKnight 02:52, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
lack of information!?!
why are they articles from 93/94 to 96/97 empty? considering that she is a main character, one would figure these would have a least a little info in them.
Dude, I'm the only one who is actually writing the FULL article. I already wrote all of Ron Weasley and I'm taking my time on Hermione Granger, because I don't want to get sloppy. Don't worry, I'm getting to those. Lemniwinks
Regarding Hermione's middle name
According to Deathly Hallows, her name is spelt as "Hermione Jean Granger". Is this a continuity error? I will change it to this new spelling unless any of you disagree. Vladz
- Yes,it is definitely a continuity error.It was Jane in previous email@example.com/188.8.131.52 02:10, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
J.K. Rowling changed Hermione's middle name from Jane to Jean because she did not want her and Dolores Umbridge to have the same middle name. Rowling confirmed this information on her personal website. --Seán Travers 16:00, 31 March 2008 (UTC)Seán Travers
I think 'J.' works very well as a compromise, and then the Jane/Jean problem can be explained later in the first paragraph. Besides, Hermione J. Granger looks very lawyerly :) PinkRibbons 19:37, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- I just went ahead and changed it to Jean. Rowling says Jane isn't her middle name, and i kept the info in there in the Trivia area. Mafalda Hopkirk 00:33, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
- I think its fine, but don't be surprised if people disagree. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 01:38, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
- Mafalda, has JK addressed the Jean/Jane issue in any interviews or chats since the release of Deathly Hallows? And is her middle name ever mentioned in any of the other six books? If not, then Jean should definately be in the article since we acknowledge the books as the highest form of canon. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 08:22, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
- All i know is that JKR stated she changed it to Jean so Hermione wouldn't share a name with Umbridge - and that Dumbledore writes it as Jean in his will. Mafalda Hopkirk 17:51, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
- ^ PS, I made it Jean based on what JKR said, but if you all think it should be J, that is fine, i just was trying to get some uniformity in the article =) Mafalda Hopkirk 18:12, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
- No, if JK said it's Jean, then it's Jean. If she changed it herself from the previous name, then that should be good enough for us:) I was just wondering if anyone had asked her about it during her webchats or book tour interviews. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 23:47, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
- The reason for this is because Umbridges' middle name is Jane and JK thought that Hermione shouldn't share a middle name with her, hence the changed to "Jean".
- Mafalda, has JK addressed the Jean/Jane issue in any interviews or chats since the release of Deathly Hallows? And is her middle name ever mentioned in any of the other six books? If not, then Jean should definately be in the article since we acknowledge the books as the highest form of canon. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 08:22, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

This article...
What is the deal with this article? It's a disaster. Random quotes, missing chunks of information, bad grammar and spelling...I'd fix it happily, but I'd really like to know if there's a reason why this article's construction is so different from any other main character. At least, from my experience. Ellethwen 16:08, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
How about you stop complaining and just fix mistakes? I'm the only writing stuff for this article, and you can't expect me to get it all done in one sitting. And If you write an article for an hour straight your bound to have spelling mistakes. But if you see any can't you just fix them? And I think the Quotes are in the right places. The two quotes at the beginning are for describing Hermione, then the others are what's happening at that time in the plot. Please just fix the things you see instead of just complaining about it. And if you cant point out a problem so it can be fixed. Lemniwinks
- First of all, I'm sorry if I offended you. What I meant was that thie article is constructed very differently and there's a whole section of information missing. I would fix it if I know what the format should be. I have never written a wiki article before. I have only fixed small things. I'm pointing out the problems I found, like you said I should. 22.214.171.124 20:23, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, that was me. Ellethwen 20:24, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- You should put a picture of Hermione and Ron kissing in the Battle of Hogwarts... i have one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs).

Married name
Personally I feel that giving Hermione her married name (Weasley) in her stats panel is a bit silly. She is known as Granger throughout the books, and calling her Weasley misrepresents the character of the books. We're not even sure she took Ron's name in marraige. The exact same argument goes for Ginny. I feel both characters should have their unmarried names in their stats panel since that better represents their characters as they appear in the books. -Vostok 03:42, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
We can probably assume she takes his name as this seems to be a stronger tradition in the magical world. We can change the article to say "Hermione Jean Granger (later Weasley)" instead of "Hermione Jean Weasley (nee Granger)" so that it indicates what her name becomes but the main part is what her name is for 99% of the novels.
Granger (later Weasley) is better but I still think it's wrong to put their married name in, it just doesn't accurately reflect the books. I'll put a post on the community portal about it because I feel pretty strongly. - 184.108.40.206 04:30, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
I agree, she's never known as Hermione Weasley so we have no proof she took on the name. I mean why should we have the infobox say Hermione Weasley (nee Granger), but the article is still under "Hermione Granger." We're contradicting ourselves. I think, unless someone gets married and is referred to with a different last name, they should use the name as referred to in the books. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 13:55, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
We should leave it as Granger unless Rowling says otherwise. PinkRibbons 16:34, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Excuse me, and please feel free to disagree with me if you like, but I think it's a little insulting and frankly sexist to Hermione to have the very first thing about her be her maiden and married names, as well as her marriage status. I think her first information should be her academic accomplishments, since that is her main focus. It would hardly be fitting to put the first or second sentence about Harry Potter that he was married to Ginny. It's something I often see happen to female characters and I think it would be fitting to change it. This is just a suggestion. Mafalda Hopkirk 23:57, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry, as well as Titles: She should definitely have more listed than just Prefect but i'm not sure what to add or how to phrase it. I just wanted to put the idea out there. Mafalda Hopkirk 00:00, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
- I agree that the opening paragraph should include more information - perhaps including the information that she was the smartest person in the grade, was a prefect, etc. I highly doubt the original author meant to be sexist while writing this article, however. Please assume "good faith." As for titles, I'm not sure if I can think of any others she had besides prefect off the top of my head. If there are others please add them. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 01:07, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think it was intended to be sexist, just that stuff happens sometimes and comes across as sexist. Some of her other titles have to do with SPEW and the jobs she obtained during the years after Voldemort was destroyed but I can't think of how to put them into good wording. I'll think it over and try later =) Mafalda Hopkirk 04:22, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
- I agree that Hermione definitely needs a longer intro, as well as Harry and Ron. If I get a chance, I'll work on one along the lines of the ones I did for Ginny, Bill, Charlie, etc. As for titles ... the only other one I can think of is President of SPEW. She didn't really have any other titles at school. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 07:12, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, I've reworked the intro - what does everyone think? - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 18:29, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
- I think it looks good. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 18:53, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
- Personally, I think it's too long and a bit over-detailed. Hufflepuff Half-Giant 07:16, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

- Well, it is the official policy of this wiki. --JKoch(Owl Me!) 06:14, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
- It'd highly doubtful that she didn't change her name to Weasley. However, most people will know her as Hermione Granger, as she didn't change her name until the very end of the series. Although, Hermione Weasley should redirect to Hermione Granger.
did ron and hermione get their original wands back?
if not, were bellatrix and hermione using each other's wands in the 3vs1 women duel? 184.108.40.206 21:32, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
They were using each others wands. --Lupin & Kingsley 01:35, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
In terms of the magic world tradition, keep in mind that Hermionie is of a younger generation. If she was indeed born in 1979, like many muggles born in that time she would not take Ron's name. If anything, I see him taking hers, but that is of course a huge assumption. Not to mention Potter wiki should be usable to an extent for those who haven't read all 7 books. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs).

Harry Potter
Friends since 1991, they had a rough start, but after the Hallowen attack, Harry and Hermione (and Ron as well) become inseparable friends, and she is Harry second best friend and best female friend, despite not having much in common both are brave and good-willed and admire each other.
Harry stated that she was a sister to him. Hermione was often a voice of reason for the trio, trying to get the boys out of trouble.
More often than not, many fans would think that Harry and Hermione would eventually become a item and many works of fan fiction placed them together. J.K.Rowling decision to make her and Ron a couple enraged many fans.
Also, we should take a look at this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_fandom#.22.27Ship_debates.22
Ron Weasley
Similar to Harry, Ron had a bad start with Hermione, thought the Ron was more anoyed with Hermione than Harry. They have quite oposites traits, but still would get a long and marry. In 1992/93 Ron would get upset with her affection with professor Lockhart, but this appeared to be more of annoyance than actual jealousy, this would happen around 2 years later in 1994/95 when she would get involved in the Victor Krum causing great stress in they relationship.
Draco Malfoy
Pure-blood. Slitherin. Voldemort Supporters. Harry, Ron, Hermione's, and Gryffindor's enimies. Despite of all Hagrid
Despite not having much in common and not always sharing Hagrid unusual taste for magical creatures, Hermione was loyal to him and was not bothered by the fact that he was a Half-giant, something that she deduced long before Harry and Ron find out in at the end of 94.
In 93/94 Hermione helped Hagrid with Buckbeak trial even considering how much busy she was with all her classes.
In 94/95 it is revealed that she already deduced that he was part giant and was extremely revolted with Rita Skeeter article at the Daily Prophet.
Ginny Weasley
Hermione essencially acted as a older sister to Ginny, specially because the girl din't had any females relatives close to her age. Hermione would give her advice about Harry and the possibility of romance between the two.
No Hermione isn't oldier sister Ginny, because she's sister-in-law for Ginny. Harry is Hermione brother-in-law. Karutalk 11:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
Weasley Family
- Um you seem to have misunderstood the comment about Ginny. It isn't say she was biologically a sister to Ginny. Their eventually relationship was obviously as sisters-in-law. But during the timeframe of the books it's probably accurate to say she sort of a sister to Ginny (who had no sisters) offering her advice on things such as what to do about relationships. 126.96.36.199 10:22, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Physical Description and Traits section
A little while ago, I added a reference to Hermione being considered "pretty" at the Yule Ball in 1994. This was removed, and I agree with the editor's comment that it was poorly worded. However, I do think something along those lines would be relevant under that section. It is called "Physical Description and Traits", after all, and similar remarks can be found in the articles for Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood, for instance. Furthermore, later books (though not earlier ones) seem to indicate that Hermione would be considered pretty as well; in DH, this is shown at least three times from three very different viewpoints. Ron says she "looks great" at Bill and Fleur's wedding; Muggle men at Tottenham Court Road wolf-whistle at her and one offers to buy her a drink; Fenrir Greyback refers to her as "your pretty little friend". Thus, I think it's an established physical trait. 22.214.171.124 04:31, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- I agree. Usually, two such sections would be called for - one "Physical description" which would describe her appearance (and the evolution of it over the course of the books) and they way others percieve her. The second section, "Personality and traits" would deal with her personality (obviously!) and other aspects of her character. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 08:54, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

- In an interview for Harry, A History, Rowling said that there were some "charged moments" between Harry and Hermione when they were alone together during Ron's absence, and that "the fact is that Hermione shares moments with Harry that Ron will never be able to participate in. He walked out. She shared something very intense with Harry. So I think it could have gone that way." However, she also said that she had always planned for Hermione and Ron, and Harry and Ginny, respectively, to end up together. Oread (talk) 04:09, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Hermione born
When was Hermione born? On books have not informations on this topic, but maybe in only polish translation haven't... Karutalk 22:04, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Her age is not shown in any English books either but Rowling has said that she was born on 19th September 1979 making her 6 months older than Ron and 10 months older than Harry who were born 1st March 1980 and 31 July 1980 respectively.--Seán Travers 16:07, 31 March 2008 (UTC)Seán Travers 17:07 31 March 2008

Hermione's Reparo
184.108.40.206In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret, why doesn't Hermione use Reparo on Ron's wand to repair it?184.108.40.206
- If you read Deathly Hallows you will know that wands are not repaired with a simple spell. In fact, Harry had to Reparo his wand with the Elder Wand to mend it. -- Seth Cooper Owl Post 11:48, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Physical description
Shouldn't the differences between Hermione's appearance in the films and novels (i.e. the way Emma Watson looks as opposed to Hermione Granger) be discussed in the Behind the scenes section for the purposes of keeping the main section in-universe?

Offending Centaurs
Hermione had predicted that the Centaurs would let her and Harry go, since they did not insult the Centaurs and were young enough to be considered "foals". However, the Centaurs were so enraged by Umbridge that they came close to attacking Hermione and Harry anyway, but Grawp stumbled onto the scene and a fight broke out between the giant and the herd.
I don't remember how it was in the movie version, but in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" the book, Hermione definitely offends the centaur herd when she says she and Harry brought Umbridge with them in the hopes that they could "drive her off for [them]" and that she was only hoping the centaurs could help them. It's probably true that the centaurs were already pretty unhappy with Umbridge it's definitely true that they were kept from dragging Harry and Hermione off only by Grawp, but a better writer than myself should probably modify that to make it more accurate.
Just letting people know =]
--Redrussianrage77 02:01, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
- Here is part of the scene from Chapter 33 of Order of the Phoenix:
- Lifting his head a few inches, Harry saw that Umbridge had been seized from behind by Bane and lifted high into the air, wriggling and yelling with fright. Her wand fell from her hand to the ground, and Harry's heart leapt. If he could just reach it -
- But as he stretched out a hand towards it, a centaur's hoof descended upon the wand and it broke cleanly in half.
- "Now!" roared a voice in Harry's ear and a thick hairy arm descended from thin air and dragged him upright. Hermione, too, had been pulled to her feet...
- "And these?" said the hard-faced, grey centaur holding Hermione.
- "They are young," said a slow, doleful voice from behind Harry. "We do not attack foals."
- "They brought her here, Ronan," replied the centaur who had such a firm grip on Harry. "And they are not so young… he is nearing manhood, this one."
- He shook Harry by the neck of his robes.
- "Please," said Hermione breathlessly, "please, don't attack us, we don't think like her, we aren't Ministry of Magic employees! We only came in here because we hoped you'd drive her off for us."
- Harry knew at once, from the look on the face of the grey centaur holding Hermione, that she had made a terrible mistake in saying this. The grey centaur threw back his head, his back legs stamping furiously, and bellowed, "You see, Ronan? They already have the arrogance of their kind! So we were to do your dirty work, were we, human girl? We were to act as your servants, drive away your enemies like obedient hounds?"
- "No!" said Hermione in a horrorstruck squeak. "Please - I didn't mean that! I just hoped you'd be able to - to help us -"
- So it seems to have been a combination of things that prompted the Centaurs to act as they did: (1) Umbridge's insults, (2) the fact that Harry and Hermione are human, (3) that Harry and Hermione are not really children anymore, and (4) Hermione's admission that she'd hoped they would drive Umbridge off. I'll change the article accordingly. Oread (talk) 03:53, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Evidence she kept her maiden name?
We know that Ginny took Harry's last name upon marriage because the epilogue of Deathly Hallows describes her as one of "the five Potters." But I think I may have found evidence that Hermione kept her maiden name: on the title page of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, it says "Translated from the original runes by Hermione Granger," but we know that Hermione would've been married by the time the book was released in December 2008, given that Rose would've had to be born in either 2005 or 2006 to go off to Hogwarts for the first time in September 2017. Any thoughts? ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 20:44, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

- Also, I know its a weird statement...but you don't have to be married to have a kid. It most likely is a valid assumption, but still. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 02:08, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
- Considering Hermione's mature anture, she probably married befre having her children.ShirleyA(The Quibbler) 00:53, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
All the above aside, I think we need a citation regarding her married name. Whether they married or didn't is a separate argument. We can assume they wed if we want, but we cannot assume that she took Ron's last name, as this is no longer obligatory. Since Rowling's webchats, etc., are being considered canon by this wiki, if she's stated her opinion, then we should go with that. If she hasn't, then we should leave it as Granger. Frankly, we don't know if it's not Weasley-Granger or Granger-Weasley, as that is also something that can occur (and that goes for their children in particular). I'm going to add a citation needed tag if we're going to leave it as is. (Additional: since it would mess up the infobox, I put the tag on the article intro instead. If we're citing a source for the birthday, it's only proper we cite a source for something as substantial as a change in name. 23skidoo 13:16, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
Four point spell
In the British edition, is it explicitly mentioned that she created it? In the American version I have, it says "...the Four-Point spell, a useful discovery of Hermione's." (And just as an aside, the italics aren't present in the book; I added it for emphasis.) --Cubs Fan2007 (Talk to me) 23:57, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- I believe that by discovery it means she found out about it in a book, but one could argue that she discovered the spell, as in she created it. --Parodist 15:44, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

- Hermione was born a witch, so her powers come from the same place as everybody else in the magical world.

This may sound weird but has anyone else except for me ever noticed in Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire that Herimone wears a black watch on her right arm but not in the other movies? Do we know exactly why that is? -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!!) 20:42, September 17, 2009 (UTC)
- I know this is an old post I'm responding to, but I just thought I'd add my two-cents worth. I'm guessing that the watch has no real significance unless, of course, it is a symbolic tie-in for the whole Time-Turner thing in the POA film. As for the Goblet of Fire, the watch is most likely just a touch of consistency from the previous film. If (I haven't paid attention to it) Hermione doesn't wear the watch in the fifth or sixth films, so I guess we can say that she disposed of it. -- Yin&Yang 12:24, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Spell Creation (or lack there of)
Alright, I don't know who wrote this, nor do I know who reverted my edit but Hermione did NOT invent the Four-Point Spell or the jinx that forms the word "Sneak" on any person's face who betrays a contract. I don't know what brought you to that conclusion but to say that she did is nothing but speculative fiction. The Four-Point Spell does have a very modern English incantation ("Point Me") but that doesn't mean it was invented by a modern-day individual such as Hermione. Afterall, Tonks used "Pack" to literally pack Harry's trunk in 1995, does that mean she invented that spell too? I'm sorry but this sort of thing is why most of this page is considered as needing 'higher quality' work (as the message on the article so rightly states). Please, please refrain from reverting my edit on the 'Skills and Abilities' section.--Yin&Yang 12:02, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

What do you guys think of Hermione's relationships section, I for one dont think characters like Lord Voldemort should be included in her relationships section, as she did not have a'relationship' of any kind with him. She never interracted with him, and only ever saw him in the flesh once I think? She had opinions and views on Voldemort, but he had none on her, did not know her and didn't care. So should she really have a relationship section with him, because in reality, there was no relationship of any sort there. Patr0nus ( Expecto Patronum! ) 11:35, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
I don't agree with you. In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Lord Voldemort was trying to kill Hermione Granger, a Muggle-born. I think there is a relationship.--Station7 11:41, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
I agree with Patronus. Riddle hated all muggle-borns alike. If this counts as relationship, we would have to write relationships with Penelope Clearwater, Justin Finch-Fletchley and Colin Creevey.--Rodolphus 11:46, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
- I think Voldemort stays. They may have never met, but the impact he had in her life is beyond argument. --Hcoknhoj 20:33, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
- He may have impacted on her but that doesn't strike a relationship does it? For example, if Gordon Brown (Prime Minister of the UK) was to make it so that I had to pay to go to school each day, that would impact on me greatly, but it wouldn't form a relationship between us would it? Patr0nus ( Expecto Patronum! ) 23:14, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Using Dittany on Harry's Snake bite
I'm wondering if this just an oversight when the books were written, but in book 5 when Arthur is bitten by Nagini, it takes the healer's days to figure out how to heal them, he had to keep taking blood replenishing potions. If I remember right it was something to do with the wounds not closing properly, but then how come when Harry is bitten all Hermione has to do is put dittany on it. --BachLynn23 16:58, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Foray vs Fray
In case someone else comes to this page and changes the word "foray" to "fray" again, here is the definition for "foray":
-plunder: steal goods; take as spoils; "During the earthquake people looted the stores that were deserted by their owners" -a sudden short attack -briefly enter enemy territory -an initial attempt (especially outside your usual areas of competence); "scientists' forays into politics"
So, in other words, the word "foray" works here. It doesn't need to be changed. --BachLynn23 18:27, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Number of OWLs
I'm re-reading the books in anticipation for the new movie, and wanted to point out that Hermione has actually earned eleven O.W.L.s, not ten, as she took Muggle Studies where the boys did not. Also, a quote from Ron when their results arrived:
- "Oh, come off it," said Ron, striding over to her and whipping her results out of her hand. "Yep... ten 'Outstandings' and one 'Exceeds Expectations' at Defense Against the Dark Arts." He looked down at her, half-amused, half-exasperated. "You're actually disappointed, aren't you?"
- - Ron Weasley, Chapter 5: An Excess of Phlegm, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
As a new user I'm not free to edit anything, but wanted to put the point out there for a user who can. :)

- The boys also didn't take arithmancy and ancient runes.....--BachLynn(Accio!) 22:06, November 15, 2010 (UTC)
That was an error that was corrected in later editions. In the Scholastic edition, Ron says "Yep... nine 'Outstandings' and one 'Exceeds Expectations' at Defense Against the Dark Arts." (ch.5, p.103) - Nick O'Demus 22:10, November 15, 2010 (UTC)

Since i cannot edit this page, i felt it necessary to point out that in Hermione' s first year, only Harry and Hermione took Norbert's cage to the Astronomy tower as Ron was in the hospital wing with a dragon bite(from Norbert) on his hand and therefore only Harry and Hermione got detention. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Talkinhat47 (talk • contribs).
Hey, where exactly are you talking about in the article? I re-read the 1991 section but only saw where it talked about Harry and Hermione getting detention, I didn't see anything about Ron getting detention too...... --BachLynn(Accio!) 02:45, January 11, 2011 (UTC)
Toom many images
This page has too many images. Looks ta Hermione Granger#Infiltration of the Ministry of Magic and Hermione Granger#Ron's Depature and Godrics Hollow. That should at least being changed. It's way too many. --Station7 14:47, April 11, 2011 (UTC)
- I am sorry to disagree with you. No WIKIA rules states that images are not allowed and as the chinese say "A picture is worth a thousand words". All of the images in the article are rather useful and give the reader a better opportunity to imagine the scene. Also having images in the article helpes the reader enjoy the reading as reading a long article with no images at all will look rather dull. The bottom line is, I disagree with you. —Firefox1095 22:41, April 11, 2011 (UTC)
- Of course you disagree with me - you did put those pictures there, so I understand. Yes, the chinese people are right, but this is still way to many. While Glee wikia use a gallery, we maybe should use that then too ;) then can the images not being banished. How do you think of that? So that they are not removed! --Station7 11:42, April 12, 2011 (UTC)
- No honestly it is not because I put he images. It is just that I find the article better like that. I also like your idea. Yeah a Gallery sounds good enough. —Firefox1095 22:58, April 12, 2011 (UTC)
- It's good that we can agree at that point. --Station7 14:08, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Harmonian vandalism
Just reverted an edit claiming that she married Harry, and a corresponding comment on his page. There's also a page "Hermionie (sic) Granger" created by the same person saying the same thing. 220.127.116.11 00:03, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Family Guy" fans kind of figured Brian the dog wouldn't be gone for good.
Even though Brian was killed in a car accident, Entertainment Weekly says he'll appear in the episode airing Dec. 15.
Fox says "Stewie devises a master plan to get the one and only thing he wants for Christmas."
Could it be Brian?
Since the beloved family dog was killed off last month, fans started an online petition to bring him back.

For me, it's great being a Client Reference Specialist for Tivoli. Working in collaboration to create Reference Profiles for our Clients has brought in a lot of advantages. Networking opportunities with my fellow IBMers, Business Partners and Clients from across industries is just a 'cake', but the real 'icing' is my continuous learning about IBM's Tivoli software for 'Integrated Service Management' that "provides smarter solutions and the expertise you need to design, build and manage a dynamic infrastructure that enables you to improve service, reduce cost and manage risk." Yes, I'm always in an awe of how IBM's Tivoli solutions have helped our Clients overcome their challenges.
PS: Rebecca Wissinger in her blog 'IBM Client Activities at Pulse 2011' talks about the ways IBM is saying THANK YOU to our immensely valued, extraordinary Clients at Pulse 2011. If you are attending Pulse 2011 then you will not give her blog a miss.

Kemper County officials are trying to determine how many people voted in the House District 42 race when they should have voted in District 43, and how to proceed once they make that determination.
The Neshoba Democrat reports that a handful of precincts in Kemper County are split.
Some voters in the Preston precinct, for example, vote in District 43 in the race for House of Representatives, while others vote in District 42.
Democratic challenger Michael T. Evans holds a slim lead of
about 150 votes over incumbent Republican incumbent Russ Nowell in the District 43 race.
In the District 42 race, incumbent Democrat Reecy Dickson is the apparent winner over Roy O. VanDevender with about 63 percent of the vote.
