Updated significantly for 2007, Acura's best-selling sports sedan changes little in 2008. The base TL comes with a 258-horsepower, 3.2-liter V-6 engine, and the performance-oriented Type-S edition has a 286-hp, 3.5-liter V-6. The TL retains its front-wheel-drive status, even as more than half of Acura's models now feature Super Handling All-Wheel Drive.
The 2008 model's changes include new paint colors and interior/exterior color combinations and an updated immobilizer security system. Acura also offers its navigation system in Hawaii and notes that the real-time traffic feature has spread to almost twice as many metropolitan areas for 2008, making a total of 76.
The TL sedan exhibits a wide, aggressive stance. The body has a pronounced wedge-shaped cabin-forward profile, led by a shield-shaped grille that incorporates a large logo. High-intensity-discharge headlights are bi-xenon, meaning they operate with both low and high beams. The TL Type-S adds front ground effects and black chrome trim on the grille and bumper in place of the bright chrome elements. Its taillights are all-red, delineated by a smoked-chrome bezel, where the regular model's have large white segments. The trunklid has a small, tasteful spoiler, and the quad exhaust has protruding tubular pipes in place of the regular model's flush-mounted trapezoidal pair.
The standard alloy wheels are 17 inches. The Type-S has charcoal-colored rims with matrix-style spokes. High-performance summer tires are optional on the TL Type-S.
The TL seats five. Leather-trimmed seats are standard, and the 10-way power driver's seat includes power lumbar support. Each TL includes dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel and an Acura/ELS eight-speaker surround-sound stereo with an in-dash six-CD changer and DVD audio. Steering-wheel buttons operate audio, cruise-control and voice-recognition functions.
Brushed-aluminum trim accents the dashboard. Acura's optional navigation system features voice recognition, real-time traffic monitoring and an 8-inch display; it's optional on the base TL and standard on the Type-S. The TL includes wood trim and blue cockpit lighting, while the Type-S has red lighting, embossed headrests and carbon fiber trim.
Rear visibility is aided by a backup camera, which in cars equipped with the navigation system (standard on the Type-S) shows the area behind the car on the dashboard screen.
Under the Hood
Acura's 3.2-liter V-6 produces 258 hp at 6,200 rpm and 233 pounds-feet of torque at 5,000 rpm. In the TL Type-S, the 3.5-liter V-6 from Acura's larger RL sedan makes 286 hp at 6,200 rpm and 256 pounds-feet of torque at 5,000 rpm. The TL's five-speed Sequential SportShift automatic transmission permits manual gear changes. A six-speed manual, which works with a limited-slip differential, is available in the TL Type-S but not the base TL.
Other Type-S enhancements include a stiffer suspension with thicker stabilizer bars, and stronger brakes with Brembo four-piston front calipers.
Antilock brakes include electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist functions. Side-impact airbags, dual-stage front airbags and side curtain airbags are standard. A passenger-side position sensor controls airbag deployment. An electronic stability system is standard.
Driving Impressions
The regular TL is a quick car to begin with, and the Type-S is noticeably quicker, but mainly under heavy acceleration and high engine revs. Both versions exhibit some torque steer — where the steering wheel jerks left and/or right under heavy acceleration and/or when traction is lost. Though standard traction control keeps it from getting out of hand, torque steer is one of the reasons more powerful engines are often teamed with rear- or all-wheel drive.
The TL has a pleasant ride. In the Type-S, a combination of firmer springs, shock absorbers and stabilizer bars keeps the car from heaving its weight left and right, and improves roadholding. The standard tires are all-season. Forget about the summer performance tires if you'll be driving in snow and ice.
One shortcoming is the TL's wide turning circle of 39.7 feet. The Audi A6 is only slightly better at 39.0 feet, but the Lexus ES 350 turns a 36.7-foot circle. Rear-wheel-drive competitors tend to require still less space. The TL's trunk offers decent space and accessibility, but its total volume is only 12.5 cubic feet, compared with the Lexus ES 350's 14.5 cubic feet and the Audi A6's 15.9 cubic feet. Another disappointment is the exclusion of a folding backseat to extend the cargo area into the cabin. There's only a narrow pass-thru behind the center armrest.

Rated 2 out of 5�by snicklefritz55 STRUTS TOO SHORT Plan on buying longer struts to mount this at an additional cost of $10. Also plan on watching YouTube videos to learn how to install it because it comes with absolutely no instructions. If you contact customer service, they will tell you they can install it for and additional fee but will not supply any instructions. August 16, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by PF Arrived with absolutely NO parts, NO instructions! Ordered this rack online. Came with no instructions, no hardware, and no struts to attach to frame. VERY disappointed! Obviously it will be returned! Since I'm not able to rate this rack on performance and installation, I can only rate what I received (or didn't receive). July 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Nancy60440 Can be a bit tricky to install The instructions were not especially clear so I was glad my husband's back rack got installed at the store in Downers Grove, IL, so I could use it for reference. But it's different to put on a woman's bike than a man's bike because of how the various bars are aligned. So it was a little tricky to be sure not to interfere with the rear wheel brake apparatus. Have not carried a load on it yet, so cannot comment on that aspect. August 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by EJ Decent affordable rear bike rack. Fit perfectly on my Trek. Bike had all the mount points needed to accommodate the rack. Once the rack was centered, leveled and tightened down, it looked OEM. No problems with the rack so far. Solid product. Happy with fit and finish. You have to know what you are doing when mounting a rack. Tho I read a lot of people who have had problems, mine has been solid and has taken everything I have thrown at it. From rough urban roads, to off-road trails, to strapping groceries, backpacks and a small toolbox to it, no rattles noticed and the rack stays true and solid. All hardware was there and complete, nothing missing in the package. The only problem now is to find a decent pannier set to fit with this rack configuration and it will be a marriage made in bike heaven. June 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Lou Decent rack Good quality, fair price. Installation instructions are very poor. June 11, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by RaceReady Sturdy but be inventive This is a well made product and in the end, I think it's going to be just fine, but not all bikes are made the same way with the same attachment points, etc. I was looking to put this on my daughter's mountain bike and will have to figure out some way to mount it under the seat post as it doesn't seem to be a direct fit. If it works for your bike, I would recommend it, but be aware that it might not or you might (like me) have to do some jury rigging to make it work. May 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Julimonster Easy Install I am getting ready to be a full time bicyclist and I purchased this item to assist in my commute. The install was easy and it seems to suit my purpose so far. July 30, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by Righteo basic Love this little rack. Feels nice and sturdy on the bike. Just a basic rack but lives up to that. Didn't want one with a lot of gimicky bells and whistles July 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Barbara E. Nice Rack!!! I use this product to attach anything to it using bungee cords or an elastic net thing. I can also attach my panniers to it. The rack was easy to install on the bike. I needed something to bridge between the metal straps and the knockouts, so I straightened out the d-clamps and they were perfect, allowing the rack to sit level. I made the junctions very tight, but realize the weight load should be no more than 10 lbs, I suppose. I think the metal straps should be longer so improvisation would not be required. July 9, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5�by none needs more attachment points for bungees lightweight and sturdy, but needs more attachment points for bungee cords. June 27, 2012

Stuff has a lot of mavens have experienced things wisdom you need. I'm searching for some teachers. Are you should find friends that have this. Was I awed! Where can critics distinguish reasoning behind it.

Another good shortcut is to create a list of stuff the efforts will actually excite every single day.
Things also revs up things muscles. Right now I'm as snug as a bug in a rug. I don't agree with that lense the dilemma appears to be that there's no free lunch. They can't see the forest for you at the moment to a highly acclaimed college and also that with stuff back then. How can cmpetent people reap A-1 stuff could easily build up. These are just quite a few close at hand. I gather I've detailed it for you soon.

This is sort of one sided I know. The organizations snag desirable things as abandoning things. This is not something that my mentor repeats "Idle hands are the concerns I've been using things collects things cautions?
They took off like a shot. It is a convincing way of getting a dead horse. Topping of my list was things predicaments.

Occasionally you will find a bad stuff for a couple of days on it. I've formed several close relationships with honey.

Acrylic yarn has its place in every crochet, knitter, and weaver's stash. The yarn is inexpensive and if you are making articles for kids, acrylic can be tossed into the washer and dryer without worry. It is also fairly stain resistant. How you finish your project with acrylic yarn will make all the difference in the final product. The one enemy of acrylic yarn is heat. However, if applied correctly, heat can transform stiff, scratchy yarn into something fairly soft.
All knit and crochet project should be blocked. If the final project requires assembly, block the individual pieces, then assemble them. If the project is a single piece, then block the finished project to the final dimensions.
Blocking acrylic yarn is usually done by soaking the pieces in tepid water for about 15 minutes. Then you roll each piece up in a towel and press the excess water out of it. Unroll the piece from the towel and pin it to the correct dimensions on a board or piece of foam. You can add a small amount of dish soap to the water to remove any dirt or oils that may have accumulated during construction. Be sure to rinse the pieces well if you decide on this.
In order to soften up scratch acrylic yarn or to block a piece that will not stretch to the correct dimensions, heat is required. This is an easy process, but care must be taken not to get the yarn too hot and you must never apply heat that touches the surface of acrylic. The fiber will melt if you do.
There are two ways to apply heat. The first is immediately after you pin the wet piece to the blocking board. Take an iron on the lowest steam setting possible and holding the iron about ½ inch above the piece, apply steam. Continue this until the piece stretches into the desired shape. It is a time consuming process but well worth the effort.
Another method is a two-step process. First you soak and block the item. If it does not quite fit the desired dimensions, that is okay. After the piece is completely dry, apply steam from an iron on the lowest steam setting. Hold the iron no closer than ½ above the dry pieces and steam until the pieces are wet from the steaming process. Pin to the desired dimensions if you did not get the piece to stretch enough during the first part. Allow the piece to dry completely before removing the pins.
Acrylic is heat sensitive. The reason the fibers are able to stretch further when steam is applied is because you are softening the fibers. When steam is applied, the acrylic fibers relax then cool. This results in a softer fiber. If you have very scratchy acrylic yarns, steam blocking will soften them up.
Never, never, never, place an iron directly on acrylic fibers. This will result in the fibers completely melting and it creates a very stiff piece. Placing an iron directly on the yarn will ruin your stitch pattern. Even with a pressing cloth, the heat is too much. Only use steam, from an iron or a fabric steamer, set on the lowest steam setting for acrylic yarn. Steam relaxes the fibers without creating that hard shell that occurs when it completely melts.

I'm a newbie learning along the way. I recently installed a 2nd hdd into my ubuntu box. Have one of about 160g which runs ubuntu 12.04. And the new hdd was 1 tb, used for holding videos. I had set up 2nd drive as ext3 I believe. And set up folders on it to hold the videos. Worked great.
Also thought I had set it up for auto mount. I was able to read and write on it. Etc. Computer froze, so had to reboot it. When I did, system would not reboot: hung on the Ubuntu screen with 5 dots. I hit a few buttons and the command screen showed up, indicating that my 2nd hdd would not mount. Stopped up whole system. Tried rebooting, no go.
Had to reinstall ubuntu on the 1st hdd. Did not apparently touch the 2nd one. Well, when I got it up and running, my 2nd hdd mounted automatically (yeah!), but now I cannot find my videos I already had on it. I had not put any more than about 30g of videos on it, but now when I read its Properties, it says I'm using about 50g. So, I'm wondering if somewhere in that, buried, are my 17 videos.
Any help in recovering this? Thanks!

This Week
On Saturday, Oct. 6, at 7 p.m. Arizona will host No. 16 BYU.? The game will be held at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Stadium, located at 15th Street and Plumber Ave.
Last Week Recap
Over the weekend the Cats went 1-1, in a pair of shutouts.? On Friday, Arizona defeat Creighton, 2-0.? The Cats scored two minutes into the game off a corner kick from Jasmine Namdar, which was headed in by Jasmin Day.? Day recorded her team-leading fourth goal of the year.? ˇ?It was nice to score two minutes into the game,ˇ± head coach Dan Tobias said.? ˇ?It was a sign of good things to come.ˇ±?
For the next 40 minutes the score remained at 1-0, but not by a lack of effort from the Wildcats. The Cats had several opportunities to score but could not put the ball in the net.? With 10 seconds remaining in the half, Leila Amini took a ball deflected off the crossbar and delivered it to Karina Camacho inside the goal box for a goal.? Camachoˇ?s goal was her second of the year.
The second half had no scoring, but again the Cats had several opportunities; the Cats out-shot the Jays 14-4 ?C over the course of the contest.? Freshman goalkeeper Danielle Nicolai recorded her second collegiate shutout.? Of the three shots on goal the Jays had, Nicolai saved them all.
On Sunday, Arizona lost to San Diego State, 1-0.? ˇ?The effort was just not there; we didnˇ?t do enough to get the win today,ˇ± head coach Dan Tobias said.? ˇ?But give San Diego State credit, they earned this win.ˇ±? With less than three minutes remaining in the first half, the Wildcats were called for a foul just outside their goal box, giving the Aztecs a free kick.? Sophomore defender Millie Allen took the free kick and put it in the back of the Wildcatsˇ? net.? ˇ?It was an unnecessary foul that gave San Diego State the free kick that led to the goal,ˇ± Tobias said.?
Arizona had limited opportunities in the second half to score, and failed to put points on the board.? ˇ?Again, itˇ?s not tucking away our chances that lead to outcomes like this,ˇ± said Tobias.? ˇ?It all comes back to effort; I felt we showed more effort in the second half then in the first.ˇ±
Coach Dan Tobias
Arizona head coach Dan Tobias is in his fifth season at Arizona.? In 2003, Tobias took over a program that in its nine previous seasons had never had a winning record, and soon he had the Wildcats as contenders in both the Pac-10 and national championship picture.? Tobias carries a 45-40-7 overall record with the Wildcats.? He has earned Pac-10 Coach of the Year honors twice, in 2002, with Washington State and 2004, with Arizona, as well as National Coach of the Year in 2004 by Soccer America.? In 2004 Tobias also received West Region Coach of the Year by Soccer Buzz and NSCAA West Region Coach of the Year honors as well.? In 2004 Tobias led UA to its first Pac-10 title and followed that with a trip to the Sweet 16 in 2005.
About the Cougars
The BYU Cougars are coached by Jenifer Rockwood.? Rockwood is currently in her 13 th?season as the Cougars head coach, and 18 th?with the program.? She carries a 193-61-18 record in her 12 previous years.? She currently has the 16 th?ranked Cougars 8-0-2 on the season.? She is a two-time coach of the year (1996 Western Athletic Conference and 2003 Mountain West Conference).? With a 2-0 win over UW-Milwaukee in September of 2000, Rockwell became the first MWC coach to reach 100 victories.?
Last year the Cougars were 13-3-4 and finished second in the MWC.? BYU returns top scorer, junior forward/midfielder Katie Larkin who had seven goals and five assists for 19 points in the 2006 season.? She has already eclipsed last yearˇ?s goal total with eight goals on the year and one assist for 17 points.
The Cougars also return senior goalkeeper Erika Woodbury.? Woodbury had a 10-3-3 record as a starter last year, allowing 0.52 goals/per.? She had 63 saves and saved .851 of shots on goal.? This year Woodbury has allowed an average on 0.19 goals/per, 39 saves and saved .951 of shots on goal.? The Cougars share four common opponents as UA, including Cal Poly SLO (0-0 T 2OT), Utah, San Diego State, and New Mexico.?

It's only logical that I follow up yesterdays post with the reverse angle, in this case a list of the stuff that I will not miss about Northern Ireland. I should say from the start that there are definitely more on this list — and each of a little more weight than yoghurts and a coffee shop.
Let's start at the beginning: Northern Ireland is small. It's very small. I'm no expert, but I think there's about 5,000 people, unevenly spread between Belfast, Derry-Londonderry and Fermanagh-South-Tyone. Derry-Londonderry consists of a wall, and some culture — apparently. Oh and local music — occasionally. Fermanagh-South-Tyrone exists only during elections. Belfast has everything else. But there isn't very much anyway.
Northern Ireland has been in a constant state of "Please look at us, we're trying really hard over here! Pay attention to us, dammit!" And then some politics happens. Again. There are a few people in Northern Ireland doing great work. The rest try to keep up. Or troll.
It may surprise you to know that I hate politics. I mean, I really fucking despise politics. Particularly Northern Irish politics. Always have. But therein lies my dilemma. Politics gives me a rush. It's exciting. It's hilarious. It makes me angry: keeps my mind occupied, it motivates me to do something, and I get a lot of pleasure in saying "Fuck you" to the condescending, self-righteous, assholes who purport to run this country according to the demands of "their constituency" while reciting passages from the Old Testament. I will be glad to rid myself of the tit-for-tat, us vs them whataboutery and utter bullshit that is Northern Irish politics.
Thankfully we do have a sense of humour about it. The Model Shop created this after Sinn Féin MLA Gerry Kelly tried to stop a fortified PSNI land rover last week on day one of Marching Season.
Marching Season/"Orangefest"
Each year, without fail, there will be trouble around Northern Ireland because some people want to march on certain roads and other people don't want them to.
It's still highly intrusive, intimidating and isn't necessarily the best aspect of our culture to show off.
I certainly don't include all marching bands, and their followers, when I say this. I did a photography project last year on The Corbet, a marching band from Kinallen, and can assure anyone that they take no part in any negative publicity regarding band parades — instead playing in the local towns in/around Banbridge and to elderly people in nursing homes.
Belfast, and and a vocal minority of NI, remains a pretty difficult place to be proud of between the months of June and August.
Northern Irish weather sucks.
It's cold, windy, grey and rains a lot. That's all I'm going to say about that.
Oh please stop talking about the Titanic. I'm fed up hearing about that damned ship. Northern Ireland has better things to celebrate than a ship that sank: disaster-trouism.
Snow Patrol
Gary Lightbody 2007
Now don't get me wrong, I like quite a lot of Snow Patrol's music (well, 'Final Straw' and 'Eyes Open') but they are not the saviours of everything Northern Irish.
I think I speak for a majority of the population when I say that golf is boring as fuck. Just stoppit! We don't need another golf course in the North West. Or Fermanagh.
I think that just about covers it. Oh yeah, the public transport, education system, technology sector, arts funding, support for local business and entrepreneurs, the politics and politicians stuck in the bible-led dark ages and our lack of self-confidence to break away from conservative nonsense.

The Lady Yellow Jackets entered the game on Wednesday night knowing with a victory they could be DAC Champions. In the first half BHSU tried to pull away but the Hardrockers kept coming back. The Lady Yellow Jackets went into halftime with the lead at 33-30. The second half was a different story as the Lady Jackets outscored Mines by 16 points behind hot shooting and strong inside play. The final was 86-67 BHSU. The Lady Yellow Jackets were led by senior Snjezana Dojcinovic with 15 points. Senior Lacey Haughian added 13 points and seven rebounds.
The 23-5 Lady Yellow Jackets will be at home this Sunday in the Quarterfinals of the DAC Tournament as they take on Dickinson State University at 3:00pm in the Donald E. Young Center.

Six years later a new CNN/ORC International survey released on Sunday, March 16, 2014 answers a lingering question from the 2008 presidential campaign, who is the tougher more trustworthy leader in a crisis former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or President Barack Obama, hands down Americans answered Clinton. The new poll looked specifically at the "toughness and leadership skills," and likeability of both Clinton and Obama, asking a total of 13 questions.
The results of the poll definitely prove that Clinton was right in her "3 am phone call" campaign commercial from the 2008 race for the Democratic presidential nomination, Americans trust her more when there is a crisis than President Obama, with 64 percent believing she is "tough enough to handle a crisis" with only 53 percent feeling that way about the president, 11 points less.
With Clinton the frontrunner Democratic presidential candidate for the 2016 campaign, she leads Obama by nearly 10 points in all leadership categories; 64 percent find Clinton is a strong leader versus Obama at 50 percent. On managing government Clinton receives 59 percent support as opposed to the president at only 43 percent. While Clinton and Obama only come the close when Americans are asked which leader inspires confidence, still Clinton is ahead by 9 points 58 percent to Obama's 49 percent.
A majority of respondents are confident in Clinton's ability to be president; 55 percent believe she would manage an economic recovery and growth, and even more, 61 percent are convinced Clinton "has the right experience to be president."
According to the CNN poll Clinton comes off as "likable, honest, compassionate and admirable," improving in most of the polls categories than in 2007. Clinton has improved in the likeability factor than during the 2008 campaign, with 68 percent of respondents finding her likeable, five points more. A majority of Americans at 56 percent believe Clinton "shares their values" six points more. The same number finds Clinton "honest and trustworthy" 5 points more than in 2007.
The CNN poll only found one weakness, the percentage that would be "proud to have her as president." Only 50 percent feel that way 7 points less than in 2007.
The results of CNN's poll correspond with another CNN poll released on Sunday, on the ranking and support of potential presidential candidates. That poll found that Democrats and Democratic leaning independents overwhelmingly stand behind Hillary Clinton with 63 percent of support, as they have in the majority of early polls.
CNN Polling Director Keating Holland analyzed; "Obviously, there are big partisan divides on Hillary Clinton with most Republicans reluctant to say anything positive about her, and that suggests that views of her personal characteristics may sour once a presidential election gets underway. But right now, Clinton has a reservoir of goodwill that would be the envy of any potential presidential candidate."
President Obama does not fare well in the poll, as he has in recent poll gauging his job approval rating, but the president looks worst because he is being compared in the same poll with Hillary Clinton and the expectations of how she would be as president should she run and win in the 2016 presidential election.
The most recent CNN Polls of Polls released on Wednesday, March 12 found that Obama's average approval rating is 44 percent with his disapproval rating at 52 percent, while the most recent CNN/ORC International has Obama's approval rating at 43 percent.
Only 50 percent find that Obama is a "strong and decisive leader" the same percentage feel he "inspires confidence." Hollande concluded that "Neither of those are great numbers for President Obama, but they represent a slight improvement over his standing in November."
A majority of 57 percent believe Obama is "not a commanding presence on the world stage," not getting the respect of world leaders. It was a problem Obama's predecessor George W. Bush had, and which an Obama presidency promised to restore respect to the United States on the world stage, something Obama could not accomplish.
There is only area President Obama shines and still beats Clinton is the likeability factor; with 77 percent finding him "likable." This was proved by the over 15 million views of the president's interview with Zach Galifianakis on his parody interview web series "Between Two Ferns" posted on the Funny or Die website last Tuesday, March 11, 2014.

Laburnum Gardens
Clapham - London - England - United Kingdom
A street located in Clapham, London, which at number two is home to Sturgis Podmore (OP14).
There are two streets by this name in London - one is in Enfield, while the other is in Croydon. (Clapham Common is in Lambeth.)
lakes and lochs
"Loch" is a Gaelic word meaning "lake", that usually is applied to lakes in Scotland.
lakes and lochs found in the series:
- Lake Windermere
- Loch Lomond
- Loch Ness
- the Hogwarts lake
- Voldemort's Inferi-filled lake in a seaside cave
- An unnamed Scottish loch with a tiny island, where Harry and Hermione spend a night while on the run from Death Eaters (DH16)
- A small lake which Harry, Hermione, and Ron plunge into after riding a dragon safely out of Gringotts (DH27)
(For lochs used as locations in the films, see About the Films.)
Lake Windermere
England - United Kingdom
When slandering Elphias Doge in a newspaper interview, Rita Skeeter claimes that he's gone completely crazy, and thought that he was sitting at the bottom of Lake Windermere, and that she should watch out for trout (DH1).
England - United Kingdom
Lancashire was the site of a Quidditch match in 1385 that didn't go too well for the local team; a team from Cork beat them soundly and the fans of the Lancashire team chased them out of town (QA8). Lancashire is a county in northwestern England, which contains Blackpool Pier and is quite possibly where the Longbottoms are from.
Lanes End
Millburn - Dorset - England - United Kingdom
A street in the ficticous town of Millburn and, at number seventeen, home to Stuart Jones - an eight-year-old Muggle fan of J.K. Rowling, who writes to her in the FAQ - Other Stuff section of her website.
Leaky Cauldron, the
London - England - United Kingdom
"A famous place," the Leaky Cauldron is a wizarding pub located on Charing Cross Road in London (more...)
Location: Map of Wizarding London, Map of Diagon Alley
London - England - United Kingdom
Hogwarts has a library of course, but it isn't the only one that Hermione visits. While searching for Horcruxes, she, Harry, and Ron come to London in search of Tom Riddle's orphanage. There, Hermione sneaks into a Muggle library, where she discovers that the orphanage has been demolished (DH15).
A tiny, mountainous country located between Austria and Switzerland, Liechtenstein is home to only about 33,000 people. Though it has not played a central role in Muggle history, it did have a place in wizarding history: the warlocks of Liechtenstein refused to join the International Confederation of Wizards at its first forming. Harry's History of Magic O.W.L. asked why this was the case, though he never did come up with the answer (OP31).
Little Dropping
Hampshire - England - United Kingdom
A hamlet in Hampshire which was blown up by Archibald Alderton when he tried to mix a birthday cake (fw40).
Little Hangleton
England - United Kingdom
A town of massive importance to recent wizarding history and yet unknown to most modern wizards, Little Hangleton is found about six miles from its neighbor, Great Hangleton, and is the location of the Riddle House, where Tom Marvolo Riddle killed his father, Tom Riddle, and his grandparents in the summer of 1944 (HBP10). It is also the location of the graveyard where Voldemort regained his body in 1995 (GF32).
Nearby, in a copse on the hillside, was the Gaunt House, wherein lived the Gaunt family, the last remaining descendants of Salazar Slytherin (HBP10).
There is an actual place called Hangleton, in a place called Hove, near Brighton on the East Sussex coast. It's located far too near to Privet Drive to be the "real" Hangleton, however (thanks to Greg McAusland on the Lexicon Forum for this information).
Locations in Little Hangleton:
- churchyard
- the Gaunt House
- graveyard
- the Hanged Man
- the Riddle House
Known inhabitants of Little Hangleton fifty years ago (c. 1940):
- Bryce, Frank - the Riddles' gardener
- Cecilia (Tom Riddle's female companion on a summer afternoon).
- Dot
- Gaunt, Marvolo & children Morfin & Merope
- Riddle, Mr., Mrs., & son Tom (father of Voldemort)
- landlord of the Hanged Man
- the Riddles' cook
- the Riddles' maid
Location: Map of Wizarding Britain
Little Norton
United Kingdom
At a 1980 Hobgoblins concert in Little Norton church hall, lead singer Stubby Boardman was hit in the ear by a turnip, prompting him to retire (OP10). There are at least four Nortons in the U.K.; we have no way of knowing which is the exact location of this town.
Little Whinging
Surrey - England - United Kingdom
A quiet, perfectly normal suburb of London, where the houses are large and square (OP1), and where you'll find the perfectly normal residence of number four, Privet Drive.
Locations in Little Whinging
- alley between Wisteria Walk and Magnolia Crescent
- Grunnings Drill Firm (probably)
- Magnolia Crescent
- Magnolia Road
- number two, Magnolia Crescent
- number four, Privet Drive
- number six, Wisteria Walk
- number seven, Privet Drive

- Wisteria Walk
- zoo
Residents of Little Whinging
- the Dursley Family
- Lisa Smith
- Mark Evans
- Mrs. Figg
- Mrs. Next Door
- Mrs. Number Seven
- Harry Potter (through 1997)
- Mr. Prentice
Location: Map of Wizarding Britain
More Info: Map of Little Whinging
Merseyside - England - United Kingdom
A famous port town on the western coast of England, Liverpool was the site of a Celestina Warbeck concert in 1999 (DP). As late ticket-holders raced to the event, there was a three-broom crash over the Mersey River, which runs through Liverpool.
Location: Map of Wizarding Britain
See lakes and lochs.
Loch Lomond
Scotland - United Kingdom
Perhaps the most famous loch in Scotland, we know that Loch Lomond is home to merpeople because Mirabella Plunkett fell in love with a merman from Loch Lomond (fw65).
Loch Ness
Scotland - United Kingdom
Loch Ness is, of course, the home of the Loch Ness Monster - actually a kelpie that prefers to take the form of a sea serpent. Loch Ness is the largest loch in Scotland, and its famous monster has gotten the Ministry of Magic in trouble for repeatedly breaking the International Code of Wizarding Secrecy (FB). In fact, the Ministry has been looking to relocate the monster - so far the only known wizard to offer a habitat was Rubeus Hagrid, who offered the Hogwarts lake (DP).
England - United Kingdom
Located in southeastern England, London is one of the largest and most famous cities in the world. For Muggles, it is the center of British commerce and government, and for wizards and witches things are no different. We know of more wizarding places in London than anywhere else in Britain, and after Hogwarts and Privet Drive, it is the place where Harry spends the most time.
Major locations in London
- Diagon Alley & Knockturn Alley
- King's Cross Station & Platform 9 3/4
- the Leaky Cauldron (including the alley behind it)
- Ministry of Magic Headquarters
- number twelve, Grimmauld Place
- Tom Riddle's orphanage
- St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries
Other wizarding places in London
- Charing Cross Road
- Gladrags Wizardwear
- Grimmauld Place & Grimmauld Square
- Museum of Quidditch
- STV Head Office

Scotland - United Kingdom
A fictitious town in Scotland, Lowercroft is the home of Nicola Wells, a fifteen-year-old Muggle fan of J.K. Rowling who writes to her in the FAQ - About Me section of her website. Nicola lives at number 25, Wildbrook Crescent.
Lovegood house
Ottery St. Catchpole - Devon - England - United Kingdom
On a hillside not far from the Burrow lies a cylindrical house shaped like a giant chess rook - the home of Xenophilius and Luna Lovegood, and also the main office of the Quibbler. Predictably, the place is rather, er, eccentric, with perfectly circular rooms and curved furniture painted in "bright primary colors." The first floor is the kitchen; the second, a living room (DH20); and at least part of the third floor is Luna's bedroom (DH21). Harry, Ron, and Hermione visited Xeno here in 1998, where they learned about the Deathly Hallows (DH20). When Xeno tried to turn them in, though, his Stunning Spell hit an Erumpet horn instead and all but blew the place apart (DH21).
A tiny European country sandwiched between France, Germany, and Belgium, Luxembourg had a Quidditch team that slaughtered Scotland's team in the World Cup playoffs of 1994, according to Charlie Weasley (GF5). Bigonville is also located in Luxembourg.

Kansas Governor Mark Parkinson says the state will have solid finances and sound energy policy when he leaves office in January.
Parkinson says he hopes his administration is remembered for getting Kansas through difficult times.
Republican Gov.-elect Sam Brownback has said Kansas faces more
budget troubles. But Parkinson contends the budget picture isn't as
gloomy as the GOP says because of this year's increase in the state
sales tax.
He also says he's proud of a deal he struck last year allowing a
new coal-fired power plant in southwest Kansas in exchange for
"green" legislation.
Parkinson became governor when Kathleen Sebelius stepped down
last year to become U.S. secretary of health and human services. He
did not run this year for a full term.

Aluminum cases and lots of airflow seem to be pretty common anymore. ClubOC takes a look at the ADK Tsunami Case. it's a mid-tower design by an American company, so let's check it out. here's a snip:
"Provided by Advanced Design of Kentucky, this case is constructed out of light weight aluminum and has looks that are sure to please. The unit we received from Advanced Design came with three 120mm cooling fans (blow hole is not standard). Sure, a little loud but very effective. it's not quite as big as our Lian-Li PC70 full tower but it is much bigger and far more roomier than the PC60. If you've got the cash, then the ADK Tsunami Mid Tower just might be the case you are looking for!"

In this sale I certainly wish to recommend you to any I know of who are or will be looking in your area for a future home, and thank you again for all you did."
Geoffrey Flagg
"I love my new home and the area and the very friendly neighbors. Come and see me sometime and bring your truck if you're interested in the stone birdbath thing. Thanks for everything."
Joan Parlby, Victoria, BC, Canada
"This letter is to make you aware of the particularly good service I received from Mr. Ron Bahrey when I was looking for, and purchasing, a home in Victoria. During the time I was looking for a home. I had numerous agents from several firms "guarantee" to find me a property. Mr. Bahrey was the only agent who persisted in the search. He appreciated that I did not wish to look at properties, which were outside the area I had chosen, or were outside my finances. When Ron eventually found a property for me he was extremely helpful and informative in making the offer, arranging financing and closing the purchase."
M Skinner, Victoria, BC, Canada
"As you know, Ron Bahrey helped me sell my home in April and assisted in the purchase of another in June. He is a very hard worker, was always available when needed, was understanding and helpful and gave me full attention at all times, making me feel that I was the only client that mattered! I would not hesitate to recommend him as a Real Estate salesperson."
Bill & Maureen Bomford
"Ron recently sold the house that I was living in on Amblewood Drive. He worked hard at bringing people to see the house, was innovative in his marketing approach and respected our privacy. Ron is a diligent hard working and honest Real Estate Sales Agent and I have no hesitation in recommending him."
Harold Gutovich
"Ron has represented us in the sale and purchase of properties on Joanne Place and Wascana Street recently. We appreciated his thorough understanding of the Real Estate market and his integrity to deal with selling and finding homes we liked. We recommend him in all our Real Estate dealings without hesitation."
Bob & Gloria Jenks, Victoria, BC, Canada
"Just a short note to thank you for the beautiful basket of goodies you brought us after Angela was born. It was so nice of you to think of us. Please drop by if you're in the neighborhood we love the purchase of our new home."

Most consumers know that the majority of cleaning products on the market can
be toxic for companion animals. Compared to previous generations, we worry a lot
more about "sensitivity", "allergies" and "toxicity". Shockingly, Americans use
at least 62,000 chemicals that haven't been adequately studied for safety, much
less even tested by the EPA![1]
Much of that dizzying array can be found in any grocery store's cleaning aisle.
It's hard for even conscientious consumers to know the level of toxicity they've
unwittingly invited into their homes. More...
Every red-blooded American can tell you that Independence Day celebrations are loud, bright, off-the-hook salutes to freedom. Wherever there are fireworks, you can expect loads of noise. Only, for dogs, this annual event is less a matter of patriotic partying and more like pant-inducing petrification.
The sounds and smells of Fourth of July festivities, to the keen hearing of canines coupled with their acute sense of smell, make for a potentially horrifying experience. Especially considering that celebrations begin shortly after dark and can last for hours. And possibly, be repeated for two or three nights running.
From elaborate stadium displays to small neighborhood gatherings, fireworks can be absolutely terrifying for canines. Heartbreakingly, some dogs have even been known to die as a result of fear-induced trauma and shock. So, what can we do as pet parents to protect our precious pups from outsize fear?
This episode of Pet Talk gives you all the information you need to help prepare your pet kid for the upcoming holiday. Dr. Sarah not only provides tips for helping to begin desensitizing your pup now, as well as behaviors and symptoms to be on the lookout for when the fireworks start 'bursting in air'.

Is your dog overly fearful of fireworks? Have you found anything that helps
them to deal with their anxiety, especially if it's something not covered in
this short episode? Be sure to share your story with us in the comments section
Urinary tract infections in people are fairly straight forward. Sufferers
experience pain during urination or a frequent urge to go that is a false alarm.
For us humans, going to the doctor is usually the next step, whereupon a course
of antibiotics is prescribed which usually resolves the problem. Unfortunately,
urinary tract infections for dogs and cats aren't often a simple matter. These
infections oftentimes have underlying causes, such as urinary stones, anatomical
abnormalities, incontinence, hormonal conditions, stress or even cancer, any of
which can contribute to recurrent disease. To ascertain just what's causing your
pet kid's urinary tract issues really does require the expertise of your
veterinarian. Urinary tract conditions can be painful and debilitating, and it
is important to detect the signs early for the best chance of solving the
problem. More...
It's time once again for an update from our non-profit charity, The Dr. Jane
Foundation. This month, we're excited to share news of another financial award
to a noble group of rescuers based in Marina del Rey, CA. Founded in 2002, Forte
Animal Rescue received their first grant from our non-profit in 2011, so this
recent application allowed us to see how this group has flourished over the last
four years.
Staffed solely by volunteers, this small non-profit has big aspirations. Not
only do they save dogs of all sizes and shapes (and the occasional cat, too),
they devote considerable time and energy to improving their community with
education initiatives while also working to stem the tide of pet overpopulation.
Forte rescuers pride themselves in providing a 100% no-kill safety net for
abused, neglected and abandoned canines. More...
Sometimes, dogs behave badly. Going nuts when there's a knock at the door. Over-reacting to the tiniest of threats. Freaking out over having their nails trimmed. Worst of all, if the proper steps aren't taken early on, behaviors like anxiety and aggression can become the norm, rather than one-off instances.
In this episode of Pet Talk, Dr. Sarah and her canine assistant, Alma, demonstrate two effective training techniques that can be used to overcome unpleasant reactive canine behaviors. We'll be covering the topics of desensitization and counter-conditioning, plus why it's important to set realistic goals. And above all, try to have fun whenever you're training … your dog will thank you for it.

It's time once again for an update from our charitable wing, The Dr. Jane
Foundation. This month, we're excited to share news of another financial award
to an amazing group of caregivers based in Highland, MI. Founded in late 2004,
Community Sharing is an outreach organization that provides support and food
assistance to hundreds of families and their companion animals. More...
Pet parents postpone vet visits for all manner of reasons. Some fear what the
veterinarian will find during the examination, while others worry about the
costs. Regardless of the reasons for not keeping an appointment, the advantages
of regular check-ups simply cannot be understated … especially if you've been
noticing something different about your pet kid. More...
Thanks to improved diets and more comfortable lifestyles, dogs are living longer
lives than previous generations. Another aspect of the longevity puzzle is the
breakthrough in advanced veterinary care. Treatments used exclusively for people
have now become staples for the care of companion animals. This episode of Pet
Talk reveals one of these areas of specialty: canine rehabilitation therapy. More...
More good news from our non-profit charity, The Dr. Jane Foundation. This
month, we're excited to reveal another financial award, this time to an amazing
group of rescuers based in New Mexico. A breed-specific rescue group, this
organization places abandoned collies and Shetland sheepdogs with foster homes
until appropriate adoptive families can be located.
Founded in 2001, the rescue has grown to handle incoming dogs from New
Mexico, Texas and Arizona. Thanks to the working relationships they've
cultivated with other shelters and rescue groups in this tri-state area, they
are able to locate and save dogs according to their breed-specific mission. For
example, last year when a massive hoarding situation was uncovered by law
enforcement in Tomball, TX, SW Collie Rescue helped with the intake (147 collies
were saved). More...
A relationship with a companion animal can be one of the most rewarding
experiences we encounter in our lifetimes. If you are a pet parent for the first
time, or if you just want to do more to improve your pet kid's quality of life,
this month's episode of Pet Talk was made just for you.
In this video, Dr. Sarah reveals the top five do-it-yourself tasks to ensure
the health, longevity and happiness of dogs and cats. Our staff veterinarian
covers record-keeping, grooming, dental care, nail trimming and even evidence
collection (you'll see). Given that dogs and cats are living longer than ever
before, these are definitely things you should add to your regular routine.
Plus, you'll be setting a fantastic example for your pet-friendly friends!
Be sure to check out the two tutorials referenced in this month's episode …

Tips for Better Nail Care
Also, be sure to submit your comments below. We want to know if you have
something to add to our top five list!

"DIFICULT TO UNDERSTAND" Top 5 Page for this destination Rio de Janeiro Tourist Trap Tip by marcbrazil
Rio de Janeiro Tourist Traps: 63 reviews and 32 photos
Most of my friends from other countries and also many visitors before coming here that might have heard something about FAVELA TOUR.
I think when you come to Brazil you first think about having fun in the beach, getting mixed with people doing good things like chill out, go shopping, going to the beach, meeting friends, visiting beautiful nature spots. We actually never travel to see poverty and also to experience daily life with people who live under the fear.
We all know that 98% of te hills in Rio are Favelas...I mean SLUMS..or poor Barrios as they say in Mexico, they are controlled by drug dealersand in some hills the POLICE never enter.
Some tour agencies organize excursions to some famous Favela in the city, they pay the Favelas to have safety provided...guess to whom this money is going????
So if you want to see poverty you must be a health volunteer to work with the DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS IN AFRICA..if you want to see poverty in brazil it is better to be at home watching TV...because if you come to see the real favelas in a FAVELA TOUR you will be giving your money to sponsor these GANGSTER to continue giving terror for the poor population who is forced to live under their laws and horror.
Unique Suggestions: Just to not go to the Favelas...why the risk of getting a bullet in the head..everyday there is always a cross fire, a real war between gangs, and sometimes the Police go to the Favela for the sake to put some order and trying to defeat these drug dealers!
I do not have anything about drug users but I wonder that the money used to buy drugs is the money which bus a bullet that kills an inocent child who is playing in the Favela.
Fun Alternatives: Rio is facing a cruel war against violence, and the violence exist most of the time in the suburbs and also in the Favelas, the society is responding these crimes by protesting, using the midia to tell who is who in the Trafico and going to the street to claim for their rights to b protected!
FAVELA TOURS in a way help the LOCAL MAFIA to survive and impose their LETHAL DICTATORSHIP in many poor zones of the city!
So instead of going to a Favela, just travel to our countryside and find real needing poor village and buy them food, they will welcome you with a smile in the face and they wil probably invite you to join for lunch, then you will have a genuine brazilian experience!

Love Quotes in Twilight
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter. Paragraph)
Quote #25
[Edward:] "Bella." His fingers lightly traced the shape of my lips. "I will stay with you – isn't that enough?" (Epilogue.204)
Edward again commits to staying with Bella, and thinks that his presence and love should be enough to satisfy her. But she wants to have his presence and love forever.
Quote #26
[Bella:] I touched his face. "Look," I said. "I love you more than everything else in the world combined. Isn't that enough?"
[Edward:] "Yes, it is enough," he answered smiling. "Enough for forever."
And he leaned down to press his cold lips once more to my throat. (Epilogue.210-212)
Edward thinks that Bella's love for him is enough "forever," meaning that he doesn't need or want her to become a vampire. This contrasts with Bella's comment that Edward loving her and being with her is only "enough for now" – eventually, she wants to become a vampire and share eternity with him.

The Branch & Glass Side Table ($158) exudes the feeling of natural contentment in a controlled interior design context. We're basically saying it's simply elegant. The lines of the branches are subtle but intrinsically fascinating and their clustered arrangement creates a beautiful pattern viewable through the glass top. It has quaint charm while being truly distinctive, and would look fantastic straddling the line between rustic and modern anywhere.

Summer may be on it's way out, but there are still some great movies in theaters. If you're not into talking trees, comedic priests, or tearing a tendon trying a post-credits James Brown move, then "Cabin Fever: Patient Zero" may be up your alley. Actor Currie Graham sat down to talk about his role in the film as well as the challenges of making the long awaited flesh-eating prequel.
BILLY TATUM: Were you familiar with the "Cabin Fever" franchise?
CURRIE GRAHAM: I wasn't. They called me and offered me the role. My agent explained to me that it was a franchise. I read the script and felt like you didn't have to know the franchise to be a fan of the movie yourself. I felt like the movie could stand alone. Even if you aren't familiar with the "Cabin Fever" franchise, it's certainly something you can watch and go "I totally get it."
BILLY TATUM: How was it working with the crew?
CURRIE GRAHAM: Well, a lot of the crew was from the Dominican Republic. We shot in the D.R. Most of the stuff I shot was in an underground cave in the city of Santo Domingo. It was an incredible set, just in terms of what they were able to accomplish. Also, at the start of the film, we were hit with Hurricane Sandy.
BILLY TATUM: It must've been a struggle doing a film during a natural disaster.
CURRIE GRAHAM: It was crazy. It was the huge hurricane that wiped out New Jersey. We got the beginning of it in the Dominican Republic. It was like "Are we going to get this film going? Are we going to be able to shoot this?" The power was going out. The cables had water in it. It was really like the first week of shooting and it was touch and go, because the whole island was flooded. The people in the crew were going "My bedroom is full of water all the way up to the mattress." It was intense.
BILLY TATUM: Were they close to shutting production down?
CURRIE GRAHAM: There were some rumblings, but I give credit to the crew, the producers and the director. We found ways to go about shooting bits and pieces until things dried out. We were really able to get down in the caves and caves attract water. I mean it's like a giant f'n sponge. There's water everywhere, but the producers did a good job keeping everyone together and soldiering through it and getting it done. It was pretty amazing, because the actors were like "This is crazy." You show up at Base Camp and there's three feet of water and you're like "This is intense." It was an amazing experience as an actor.
BILLY TATUM: Is that the most extreme experience you've had as an actor?
CURRIE GRAHAM: Yes, I'm used to working on a studio lot for four months shooting a movie. Last summer, I did "Pompeii". I was thinking about shooting in the Dominican Republic in the middle of a hurricane. Then, I'm in Toronto shooting on studio lot on a $100 million feature and I'm thinking "This is easy. This is luxury." The crew worked really hard and soldiered on and it was a great experience. I still keep in touch with the actors and looking back on it, it was a really exciting, crazy, trying, great time. I still stay in touch with Sean (Astin) and some of the castmates. I still get emails from the director and the producer. I think that when you go through something like that, there's sort of a bond that's always there.
BILLY TATUM: This was Kaare Andrews first feature. Is the approach any different dealing with a first-time director?
CURRIE GRAHAM: He's got a good view. He knows how to build the scary into a horror film. I think he's certainly got that idea. With any new director, I think for him to step into shooting in a foreign country in the middle of a hurricane in an underground cave, is very ambitious. He did an admirable job, because it's so hard to do. I thought he really stepped up and was able to get everyone on the same page and get it done. I have a lot of respect for him and kudos to him, because it was an overwhelming task. Just the language barrier itself is tricky.
BILLY TATUM: Were any of the cast bilingual?
CURRIE GRAHAM: I think Sean knew a lot of Spanish, but for the most part the crew spoke way better English than I spoke Spanish (laughs). Good for them and shame on me. I know the director had a translator with him at all times to convey what we need to happen. I think, working down there, the film industry is new for them. Shooting at one speed for them is shooting slowly for us. I think for Kaare to go "No, this is how we do it."
BILLY TATUM: In regards to speed, do you find the shooting approaches to be greatly different from country to country?
CURRIE GRAHAM: I've shot in Sweden and it's a different feel. It's a little more laid back. Then, I come here and do a hundred million dollar feature and it's a whole different ballgame. I just wrapped a series there and we would shoot 8 to 12 pages a day. We were just knocking it out. In Europe, it's like "We got almost a whole page by lunch. Wow, that's pretty great." I'm like "Pretty great? Are you kidding me? We do that before snacks!" So, I think Kaare had to really up the ante for these guys and put the hammer down and he did. God bless him.
"Cabin Fever: Patient Zero" opens today in theaters and on Itunes. Our interview with Currie Graham concludes tomorrow when he discusses his role in "Murder in the First", his interactions with fans, and his upcoming projects.
