If you use R key having a tool equiped it undo all the things of the tool, for example, if you press R with the weld tool at something with welds, all the welds get deleted.
PD: Consider the pikmin vs pikmin thing please. And is there a max pikmin command? Can't find it.
EDIT: Why the hell I loose smartness? I have no errors... I guess is the pikmin word u_u
Pikmin fighting Pikmin would be nice.Only If Aska wonts to.Or make props kill Pikmin If it comes at them at a certin speed.Or a console command that tells how long the pikmin pops after dieing
Sorry for the lack of any updates, no one has reported any major bugs that need fixing and I've been working on other things. :keke:
I do plan on adding onto this at some point, though.
It has a virus in it, I downloaded and needed to purge my comp and had a hell of a time rolling back my comp, I detect nothing, but ever 5 minutes (EXACTLY) my comp locks up, I fixed it but DAMN was that annoying! (Also, another terminal that was wire-less linked to my comp has been suspiciously locking up on the same day, I'm checking into it... Needless to say DON'T DOWNLOAD THAT VERSION!!!DannyM posted:
Yay.LolAska49 posted:
are you close to finishing pellets and onions?
please make the ultra bitter and ultra spicy sprays off of pikmin 2.
When do you plan to release the next update?
i'm not sure he isn't replying.DannyM posted:
It's been 30 minutes since you posted, I can't reply instantly. :keke:
About an update, I dunno. I haven't really worked on any of the Pikmin in awhile. I've got other projects I'm still working on.
Lol.30 minites ago.Aska49 posted:
what other projects are you working on?Aska49 posted:
I can't find the spwan Pikmin and spawn onion button :(. All I have is the old pikmin mod and i can't spawn any pikmin with that so please tell he how to fix it.
EDIT: Ok I fixed it and this mod is very good and cool. Thanks Aska.
Did you delete the old version of pikmin before you installed the new one?Kil0y posted:
And you can't spawn union SEnts yet. They're not finished.
This mod is awesome. Lua king'd. Please work on the Onions!
Also, I easily killed a Combine Soldier with five Pikmin. How badly do the Combine suck? :lol:
This is not working. When I try to spawn a pikmin the list is empty and the weapon doesn't work.
Can you make them appear in NPC list? Cause I tried both versions of pikmin but same crap error.

Anyway, don't be a wuss. I do it all the time. Just copy your addons if you want >.> You could also just re-download them. I bet you there are lots of addons you probably don't use there.
Actualy I got 150 addons and I need 140
And I have some other stuff I placed directly in garrysmod. -.-
Just get those addons and put them somewhere else then re- install Garry's Mod.Overdaniel5 posted:
That's more than likely why, so many addons is obviously causing something to fuck up.Overdaniel5 posted:
That's kinda lame... Does it take your garrysmod like a day to load into singleplayer?
Nobody should have that many addons for ONE game. It's just WAY too much. Do you even use half of it at all??? No offense meant but when I saw your post, I just thought of "Oh this guy just sees something he thinks will be kool and adds it then never gets rid of it.". Seriously, try not to bunch up so many addons. It both lags your game, and makes your startup ALOT slower. (I know, I've done that before.) I'm telling you this for your own good, not my own gain. (besides the fact that I just love to correct people. (in this case telling you that it's better to have not so many addons))[/offtopic]
If you're working on other projects, I would like to know so I could at least pay attention to them. Especially if you're spending more time on them that you are on this![/ontopic] Mmm... Chicken...[/deliciousofftopic]

I knew people would start making more Pikmin models eventually. Now i can have a lot more items for my Pikmin series :D!

When are you gonna start series 2? Can not wait and i hope some one snpcs the model if some does make them.
are you almost done making onions and pellets?
Yea i would like to know a release date for the update that adds those.Fluxeon posted:
Instead of just talking about the progress Aska is making... Why not give him a break and talk about something else while we're waiting??? Such as any scenarios we've made with the SEnts or the ragdolls/props. I made a spray for HL2DM as well as CSS last week, with melons shooting beams at the onions with Pikmin flying everywhere. (by everywhere, I mean one was being blasted away, another one was being blasted away while on fire) And there were a bunch of melons on the right side of the pic with SMGs. :P
Anybody else got a scenario they made up???
By the way... BUMP
When will the next update be?
Oh come on! Nobody even THOUGHT about my idea for passing time??? (that wouldn't put us too much off-topic)
Ok.... a scenario i did is a mall filled with zombies and i placed a few pikmin around and it took a while to kill the load of bloodsucker snpcs.
Hungry for an update :ham:

Hi. I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any good articles or tutorials based around the navigation menu in a responsive web design... RWD is something I have been trying to incorporate into all of my recent projects... However horizontal dropdown menus etc seem to pose a problem when considering how they should adapt - percentage widths on the li's only works to a certain breakpoint
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Indeed, they are a beast to deal with. The good thing about the mobile design issue is that it's forcing us to reconsider web design practices in general—such as whether drop down menus are even worth having on desktop sites. (IMHO they are terrible things.)
There are some interesting techniques emerging, such as having the menu turn into a single button on a small screen. But that's for simpler menus without drop downs. Other options include restyling the menu entirely on smaller screens so that the top level items are each full width and either lead to their own section where the sub links are then available, or the top level items can be clicked to reveal sub items (as hover basically doesn't work on mobiles).
The first thing to do is work out what you want to do with the menu, and then find a tutorial on how to do it.
Indeed if you design the menu first you'll waste a lot of time trying to fill it with things (design the content before the box). When you do figure out what items should exist on the menu there are plenty of pattern libraries out there now with examples of different navigation designs. Here are three to get you started:
Hello Zany90,
I am in the same boat as you. I have deisgned a new RDW with Dreamweaver CC, but I need two menus. One for the main menu and another for the languages. The options seem to be very limited and having given it much thought I will use the mobile phone menu style for all screen sizes, but which mobile phone menu works best is now my next dilema?
which mobile phone menu works best is now my next dilema?
One criterion I use is how well it works with JS off. Most people have it on, but all the same, the fact that it works well with JS off tends to be a sign that it's better constructed.
Very much so, and I believe I have found one. I am in the process of cutting and pasting the code into my website. Whilst it looks okay on screens, tablets and mobiles, I still have to check that the menu will work on a mobile. The menu was designed by Pure CSS menu (not wanting to advertise but credit must be given as I don't have the skills yet to design my own)
The purecssmenu menu is full of bad coding, as it was amazing that validation asked for a third to be removed without impairing on it's function. The good point is that it works on all devices including mobiles

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A chilly, overcast Sunday has given way to a mostly sunny and warmer Monday as the easterly winds turned from the south. These southerly winds will help drive temperatures well into the 80s on Wednesday ahead of a strong polar cold front that will bring a big drop in temperatures and the possibility of severe weather for most of southeastern Georgia late Wednesday night into very early Thursday.
The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has issued it's first moderate risk of the year for portions of Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee for Tuesday. That risk of severe weather will shift east into Georgia heading into late Wednesday night and early Thursday. At this time, it appears as though most of the stronger thunderstorms will be confined to Georgia at this time.
According to the National Weather Service in Jacksonville, most of the heavier rainfall (approximately an inch) will coincide with the slight risk area in southern Georgia with lighter rain amounts elsewhere across Florida. Most of the forecast area is expected to get wet with rainfall accumulations of generally a half inch or less.
Behind the cold front, skies will turn crystal clear on Thursday and much chillier air rushes in. High temperatures Thursday, Friday and Saturday will be parked in the low to mid 60s with overnight lows down close to freezing for some of the more rural areas of southern Georgia and mid 30s for Florida on Friday. At this time, a freeze is not anticipated locally but will have to be monitored for changes. It is not out of the question that frost or freeze advisories may be needed heading into the end of the week.
Since I'm not privy to a ''Gaughan Gauge," I'll say that on a scale of 1 to 238,857 (the number of miles from the Earth to the Moon on average), I'd give this week a 119,428.5. That's exactly half because this week's weather will please both the warm and cold weather lovers alike as well as those who love the rain and those who don't. Enjoy!

The South African cricket selectors kept faith with the Test team which dispatched Australia this month but made major changes to their Twenty20 squad ahead of a forthcoming home series against New Zealand.
Announcing the squads in Cape Town, selection convener Andrew Hudson said the Test side earned their vote of confidence when they confirmed their ranking as the world's number one Test team by defeating Australia by 309 runs in Perth to take the three-Test series 1-0.
The squad for two Tests against New Zealand, in Cape Town from January 2 and Port Elizabeth from January 11 includes the 11 players from the WACA Test as well as batsman Jacques Rudolph and fast bowler Rory Kleinveldt.
There was no place for leg-spinner Imran Tahir, who took heavy punishment in the only match he played against Australia.
AB de Villiers will continue to keep wicket despite speculation that specialist Thami Tsolekile might be selected in order to enable De Villiers to concentrate on his batting.
"AB de Villiers has kept wicket exceptionally well since taking the gloves from Mark Boucher," said Hudson, who added that Jacques Kallis was expected to be fully fit to bowl again after playing as a batsman only in Perth.
"Having two quality all-rounders among our top five batsmen has added a great deal to the side. Thami Tsolekile remains our back-up wicketkeeper should the need arise."
De Villiers was selected in the Twenty20 squad for three matches against New Zealand, starting in Durban on December 21, but relinquished the captaincy to former schoolmate Faf du Plessis.
Hudson said De Villiers remained the first choice captain but that he would be one of the senior players who would be rotated during the series.
"We want to have one captain for the entire series," said Hudson.
The 15-man squad shows six changes from that which failed to reach the semi-finals of the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka in September.
There are four new caps in 19-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock, batsman Henry Davids, fast bowler Chris Morris and left-arm spin bowler Aaron Phangiso.
South Africa on Thursday named their Test and Twenty20 squads to face New Zealand.
Test squad: Graeme Smith (capt), Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers (wkt), Faf du Plessis, Dean Elgar, Jacques Kallis, Rory Kleinveldt, Morne Morkel, Alviro Petersen, Robin Peterson, Vernon Philander, Jacques Rudolph, Dale Steyn.
Twenty20 squad: Faf du Plessis (capt), Farhaan Behardien, Henry Davids, Quinton de Kock (wkt), AB de Villiers (wkt), Rory Kleinveldt, Richard Levi, David Miller, Morne Morkel, Chris Morris, Wayne Parnell, Robin Peterson, Aaron Phangiso, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo Tsotsobe.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"My wedding is navy blue and gold, so these will match perfectly. I believe I changed the Table font to navy blue. The design is exactly what I was looking for, and is simple enough to not make tables look too busy. Thank you!"
"Purchased the place card after ordering the rehearsal dinner invitations in the same design. Was so pleased with the invitations (first time order), decided to order the matching place cards. Standard paper is of excellent quality and color vibrant. Very impressed with their quick delivery. Example on website does not do justice to the beautiful finished product."
"I removed the table #____. These are the perfect size & thickness for seating cards. The colors match a pink themed wedding perfectly. I also ordered the matching invitations."
"I ordered these in gold and a light pink, with different colors representing alternate meal choices. I was so impressed with the paper quality and the print on these. Not only that, but I'm really picky about paper I write on because I'm left handed and things I write always smear. The paper absorbed the ink quickly and they looked absolutely flawless. The gold is metallic, which I was worried about. Sometimes a non metallic gold color can look flat and icky, but it truly was a sparkly gold! Loved everything about them, and so did guests! Most even took them home!"
"We didn't' need the reference to table number as this was a place card only, not an escort card, so we removed that, changed the colors to navy, and added a reminder about what entree people chose to the back of the card to help guests and servers alike. I love the simplicity of this suite of designs. I wanted to use the 'nuff said invites too but was vetoed by the fiance. I'm glad we got to use them for both the menu and place card."

The New York Mets today announced that they recalled infielder /outfielder Nick Evans from Binghamton (AA) of the Eastern League and optioned RHP Ryota Igarashi to St. Lucie (A) of the Florida State League. Evans will wear uniform #6 and will be available for tonight's game.
Evans, 24, hit .290 (88-303) with 54 runs scored, 24 doubles, 15 home runs and 46 RBI in 77 games with the B-Mets. The 6-2, 220-pound slugger was recently named to the Eastern League All-Star team and ranks second in the EL with 39 extra-base hits and is third in home runs and doubles.
The Phoenix native appeared in 30 games with the Mets last season, hitting .231 (15-65) with seven RBI. For his career, the right-handed hitter has played in 80 major league games over parts of the last two seasons, batting .247 (43-174) with 23 runs scored, 15 doubles, one triple, three home runs and 16 RBI.
Igarashi is 1-1 with a 7.91 ERA (17 earned runs/19.1 innings) in 22 games with the Mets this season. Since returning from the 15-Day Disabled List on May 23rd, the right-hander has gone 0-1 with an 11.37 ERA (16 earned runs/12.2 innings) allowing 17 hits and nine walks while striking out 11.
Adam Rubin of ESPN New York is reporting that Igarashi is being sent down to Port St. Lucie because the triple-A and double-A affiliates also will be on an all-star break. Therefore, single-A is the only place he can get some work in. Rubin also is reporting that Jose Reyes is batting second in tonight's game with Angel Pagan leading off and that Reyes got an MRI.
Evans was likely called up to fill a right-handed hitter void left when Fernando Tatis went on the disabled list. The Braves have plenty of lefty pitchers to throw against the Mets this weekend.

As everyone who lived through Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 knows, a stalled or slowly-moving tropical storm is incredibly dangerous. The big reason is flooding. All of the moisture from the Gulf of Mexico is being brought to Florida by Debby and, with no movement, flooding rain is possible. Look at the five-day precipitation forecast. Rainfall totals the last two days in parts of Florida is approaching 15 inches. With another 10"-17" forecast, some still could see 2 feet or more at a few spots by end of the week. Not many people have gone though what we went through with Allison. We'll see if parts of Florida get added to that list.
It looks like the nearly stationary forecast with slow weakening is verifying so far. We'll see if Debby lasts long enough to emerge in the Atlantic and be a factor up the shipping lanes later this week into the Fourth of July.
I put together a webcast explaining why we saw the dramatic shifts in Debby's track over the weekend.

Usually home owner combines two rooms because they have correlate function with each others. For example kitchen with dining room, dining room with living room, or living room with library. It can make easier for home owner to do some activities in the different room. But sometimes you need something divide them. Using room divider is the solution to that problem.Contemporary chain room divider is the first creative idea to break two different room functions. You can display chain divider with black glossy finish wooden frame in the middle of the way between two rooms. By displaying it, you already divided the rooms but still can see it unite well. Chain is perfect room divider to your modern or contemporary room concept. It can be very interesting decoration too for both two side rooms. You can make it more decorative by paint the frame with proper color with your rooms. Shelves are the other room divider for your rooms. Display shelves as room divider can be clever choice. You can put thing on the shelves based on the room that you are separated. For example, you can put some pots of plants on the shelves when it divides kitchen and dining room, but you can put some books on your shelves when it divides dining room with living room. It can be very useful room divider for your home.Displaying screen room divider is the other idea to divide two rooms without makes them really separate. It is classic way to divide home rooms actually, but you still can use it for your modern home. You can display wooden carving screen to make the room looks more classic. But it will look modern when you choose to display bamboo or metal screen. You can make it more decorative by adding some carving or picture on the screen.

How to Plan the Perfect First Date – No Matter Where In the US You Are!
Online dating site HowAboutWe's first date infographic reveals some surprising dating trends in every city in America. Check it out here!
-Lucia Peters
Are you single? According to Census data, over half of the US is, too. What does that mean? Dates, of course. Lots and lots of dates.
Curious about exactly how Americans are spending their time during those dates? What do they eat and drink, and where do they go after that? Well, consider your burning questions answered! Online dating site HowAboutWe has just released an interactive infographic charting what its users get up to on their dates. The site's best analysts examined thousands of popular dating destinations sourced anonymously from over one million dates planned by it—and the results are in! Here are a few tidbits:
– The majority of the US like to get some liquid courage into their systems when meeting someone for the first time: Over 62% of first dates involve alcohol.
– West Coast cities top the list for sports and fitness dates (nine of the top ten cities known for their sporty dates are located there), while cities on the East Coast posted significantly more drinking dates.
– Like to give back while you're dating? Head to Detroit: Singles in that city are twice as likely to propose a volunteering date than other single Americans. Volunteering dates also tend to be more popular in the winter.

– Into yoga? Try Los Angeles: It boasts more breakfast and yoga dates than any other city.
– Board games and bowling are popular across the country. A little friendly competition gets the blood pumping, after all!
– "Grabbing a coffee" is rarely just having a cup of coffee. Date suggestions that pair coffee with another activity get four times as many responses as coffee-only suggestions.
– The most popular date suggestion in Seattle is rock climbing; in Vegas, it's painting or drawing together (pro tip: Stay away from the strip!).

THE moment a bride-to-be unleashed a flurry of punches at a member of her hen party in the middle of a flight was captured on film by a Ramsbottom man.
Bonsai artist and social media consultant Tony Tickle, 58, was on the Ryanair flight from Manchester to Barcelona on his way to a convention in the Spanish city.
As the flight, which was due to take off at 6.30pm but was delayed for an hour, approached its destination the fight broke out between two members of the group.
In the video, the 'hen' can be seen standing over a member of the group and swinging several punches in the direction of a woman who was sat down. Mr Tickle, who posted the video on YouTube, where it has gathered more than 100,000 views, said: "My phone was in a bag by my feet and I grabbed it quickly. There were a few people filming but they only caught the end of it.
"The bottom line is there was a hen party and there was a lot of shouting going on, but there was no aggression prior to that.
"The the reaction among passengers was one of disbelief."
Ryanair staff on the flight can be seen quickly smoothing the altercation and returning people to their seats, and the Irish budget airline firm praised cabin crew for their response.
A Ryanair spokesman said: "We have already seen this video, which shows that the matter was dealt with quickly and professionally by our cabin crew."

The Crap We Missed – Thursday 3.28.13
If you were paying attention to any of the words in our Playmate Instagram post, you'd already know this is the last The Crap We Missed for the week, which is exactly why I'm repeating it here. In observance of Zombie Jesus Day and not at all because Easter candy tastes terrific with whiskey, we're bagging tomorrow. So look forward to The Most Important People on The Internet a day early, then on Saturday it's Fish's new weekly feature about comics and shit that I have to pretend are cool unless I want to rebuild his LEGO Millennium Falcon in the nude again. So have a great long weekend if you've got one, and if you don't, remember that Easter's all about taking your life's frustrations out on your only son family.

An important webcast on stem cells and colitis
A while ago, I wrote about how one group had potentially identified a stem cell marker for intestinal epithelial cells, the cells that make up the lining of the gastrointestinal tract. Although little is known about this population of cells, there are other types of stem cells that might be useful in treating IBD.
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) give rise to form blood cells and immune cells and are mostly often used for bone-marrow transplants. When a patient receives a bone marrow transplant, a small number of these HSCs can expand and repopulate the entire immune system. In IBD, your immune cells don't know how to shut off the inflammatory response, therefore these cells keep working when your body doesn't need them to. With a bone marrow transplant the faulty immune cells would be replaced with ones that were programmed to function properly. The new immune cells would then "reboot" your immune system to only provide as much inflammation as is needed and not to overreact. Several reports of Crohn's disease patients that have undergone bone marrow transplants to treat lymphoma (not related to having IBD), showed that many of these patients went into remission without the need for further medication. Additional clinical trials are underway to determine if bone marrow transplantation is a safe and effective therapy for IBD.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) give rise to the cells that reside just underneath the epithelial lining of the gut to provide a framework for the epithelial cells to sit on. Since the MSCs and epithelial cells are in close contact, the MSCs provide signals to tell the epithelial cells, and possibly even stem cells, to grow or move in response to damage. Not only do MSCs affect the epithelial cells, but they also influence immune cells, perhaps making them the "master" stem cell in the intestine. The good news is that MSCs are especially good at finding injured tissue, so if you were injected with these cells, they would automatically know where to go. Another benefit of MSC transplantation is radiation or immunosuppression therapy would not be necessary unlike if you were preparing for a bone marrow transplant.
I realize that this is a lot of information, but I do have an ulterior motive. Next Monday, August 25th, Dr. Thaddeus Stappenbeck from Washington University, St. Louis and I will be on the HealthTalk Colitis Webcast, "Stem Cells: Getting Closer to a cure for Colitis." Dr. Stappenbeck is one of the leaders in the field of intestinal stem cell research and works on ways that stem cell therapy might be used in to treat gastrointestinal disease. I met him a few years ago and am excited about the amount of progress he has made in the field in a relatively short amount of time. If you have questions about stem cell research for him or any other questions for me, don't forget to register for the webcast!

Judge Jed s. Rakoff ruled this morning that the Met ownership group, led by Fred Wilpon, will face a jury trial on the question of whether they were willfully blind to Bernie Madoff's scheme, beginning on March 19. I will be there to cover the trial and provide daily updates on the blog, along with the baseball coverage, because nothing will impact the Mets on the field nearly as much as the future financial viability and/or survival of their ownership.
The judge also ruled in favor of Irving Picard, trustee for the Bernie Madoff victims, on the question of whether Wilpon and his partners owe approximately $83 million in fictitious profits over the final two years of Madoff's fraud. Exactly how soon, and how completely, that needs to be paid will go a long way toward determining how capable Wilpon and his partners will be of surviving the month financially intact.
More to follow on this, obviously. But before a judge who has been quite helpful to the Wilpon side in the past year, the owners did about as poorly as they could have today.

WINTER PARK, Fla. – Similar to their fellow Lions on the volleyball team, the Saint Leo women's soccer team collected 119 points and is selected to finish fifth according to the Sunshine State Conference Preseason Poll; it was announced Thursday by SSC Commissioner Jay Jones.
Florida Tech has been picked as the preseason favorite to capture the 2011 Sunshine State Conference Women's Soccer Championship as they amassed 187 points and 14 first-place votes.
Missing the postseason for the first time as head coach, Ged O'Connor sees six returning starters from his 2010 group blend with 10 newcomers as the Lions look to refocus.
Despite a five-game winning streak to close the season, the Lions finished the 2010 campaign with a 9-7-1 record and a sixth-place finish in the SSC with a record of 4-3-1.
Tampa, which received 156 points, was selected to finish second and garnered two first-place votes. Nova Southeastern occupied the No. 3 position with 128 points and one first-place nod. Very close behind the Sharks was Rollins, which was predicted to place fourth. The Tars gathered 125 points and the remaining first-place vote.
Florida Southern's 109 points put the Moccasins in sixth. Barry (7th, 71 points), Lynn (8th, 53), and Eckerd (9th, 24) rounded out the preseason poll.
Rank - Team, points (1st Place Votes)
1 - Florida Tech, 187 (14)
2 - Tampa, 156 (2)
3 - Nova Southeastern, 128 (1)
4 - Rollins, 125 (1)
5 - Saint Leo, 119

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/2/2013 (1641 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Around here, most folks head south for a winter vacation. Not me. With a week of holidays to burn and an invitation from Mercedes-Benz Canada to participate in the Sprinter Arctic Drive, I headed in the other direction for the work-ation of a lifetime.
North ... to Alaska!
The first leg of the adventure, which offered journalists from across Canada and the U.S. the chance to test the winter abilities of Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans, departed Edmonton on Jan. 22 for Anchorage, Alaska.
The second leg, the one I opted for, departed Anchorage a few days later and took us through some of the most amazing scenery on earth. We spent a night in Fairbanks, gazed at majestic Mount McKinley, and cruised the legendary Dalton Highway all the way up to the Arctic Circle and a remote truck stop with a population of less than 10, aptly named Coldfoot.
To say it was cold in Coldfoot is a vast understatement. It was minus-48 Fahrenheit the night we spent there, or minus-44 Celsius. Apparently that was balmy for Coldfoot -- it holds the record for the coldest spot in American history, hitting minus-81 Fahrenheit back in 1971.
Normally for a trip like this, I'd prefer to be in my trusty old Chevy Silverado 2500 HD. My truck is nicknamed Snow Drifter. It's a 4x4, has a lifted suspension, big tires that have been grooved with a hot knife for additional traction, a CB radio, GPS, a heater that will burn your face off, and enough provisions aboard to survive a zombie invasion.
The thought of making this harsh drive in a Mercedes-Benz cargo van had me questioning the sanity of the organizers and, as always, my own muddled mind.
My co-driver for the week was Benjamin Hunting, a freelance writer from Montreal who also has a lengthy list of similar adventures under his goofy fur hat, so I wasn't worried about looking after him. But I was more than a tad concerned about how that ultra-tall, rear-wheel-drive Sprinter van would fare when the thermometer hit the blistering lows I'd heard are normal for this time of year in Alaska.
Suffice it to say, we made it, and the fleet of Sprinters performed admirably in deadly harsh conditions that included cold starting in temperatures of nearly minus-50 degrees Celsius, drastic temperature fluctuations, icy, snow-covered and frost-heaved roads, high winds, ice fog, whiteout conditions and steep mountain passes.
Driving on the icy Dalton Highway wasn't a huge concern for me -- Manitobans are used to greasy roads. It was a three-day journey up to Coldfoot, and pretty much all uphill. Sure there was a few mountain passes, but the Sprinter chugged up those steep inclines like a champ.
But the trip back was another story -- all downhill, in conditions as icy as I've ever experienced. Our expedition captain and driving mentor, Danny Kok, a pro racer and instructor, repeatedly told us to use the van's transmission rather than the brakes, and it worked well. The shifter is in a good spot on the Sprinter, and an easy nudge on the lever dropped the automatic down a gear or two, which is much safer than applying the brakes.
I felt the rear end get loose a few times, but never so much that it felt as though we were losing control. But I still had white knuckles for two days, and I now have a whole new level of respect for ice-road truckers. It was also tough on the nerves when those same semis came barreling down the highway and passed us in a cloud of snow. Yikes.
Beyond the Sprinter's advanced traction and stability control, there were a few other features that went a long way to helping us make this epic journey in one piece. Like any diesel, the van's 3.0L BlueTEC turbodiesel V6 engine can be hard to start without proper preparation. But the Sprinter has a powered auxiliary heater that operates separately from the engine. It circulates coolant through the engine block and radiator, and produces a small amount of heat in the passenger compartment.
The cool thing about this heater is that it can be set electronically with the controls on the steering wheel. In our case, the timer was set for 7 a.m. and the auxiliary heater ran for 15 minutes before we headed out and actually fired up the diesel. This system works like a charm -- no need to plug in or keep the diesel engine running all night like big-rig truckers do.
The only setback we had was waking up to a flat tire in Fairbanks. Otherwise, the van's Continental snow tires offered great traction on all that ice and snow. The trip was intended to prove that Sprinters have the utilitarian DNA to deliver the goods, regardless of how remote the destination. And they did that in spades. They may not be speedy, and -- let's be honest here -- they're a bit dorky-looking, but I have a totally newfound respect for the Sprinter because of the confidence it instilled.
As for the hearty folks who call Alaska home, all I can say is WOW. At every stop we were met with a mixture of kindness and curiosity that was truly enlightening.
One of the first Alaskans I spoke with was an elderly U.S. Army veteran. Originally from Idaho, he had the look of a guy who had been there and done that. When I asked him why he lived in Alaska, he told me that once it gets in your blood, you're hooked. It's easy to see why. The air is clean, the people are down-to-earth and the scenery and wildlife are absolutely amazing.
It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime kind of adventure and, although I posed for a photo shirtless at the Arctic Circle, I'll spare you that image. But I will say that despite being 100-per-cent Manitoban and a winter outdoor fanatic, for the first time in my life I actually found myself rushing to get indoors.
We may think we have it rough here in Manitoba, but sleep well in the knowledge that, no matter how cold it is here, it's probably colder in Coldfoot.

City posts information on new voting districts
Published: Sunday, January 27, 2013 at 5:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 27, 2013 at 5:40 p.m.
The Gainesville City Commission approved new district boundaries in December but roughly one month passed before city officials took steps to inform residents of the changes.
In mid-January, Supervisor of Elections Pam Carpenter raised concerns over the lack of public knowledge on the new district boundaries.
"Please note that none of the City voters have been notified of their current district," Carpenter wrote in a Jan. 15 email to Clerk of the Commission Kurt Lannon.
"All voters were provided a new Voter Information Card in July 2012 as required by Florida Statutes. At that time, the City had not completed its redistricting process and there was no current district information to include on that card."
At the Jan. 17 meeting, commissioners discussed how best to spread the word with an election for the newly drawn District 4 in March.
"We have some work to do and it is unfortunate it is at the last minute," Commissioner Lauren Poe said.
Lannon discussed the possibility of mailing all city voters new voter identification cards that listed their current City Commission districts. If the city chose that option, he expected it would cost some $50,000.
This week, the newly drawn district maps were put on the city's Web site, www.cityofgainesville.org and the Supervisor of Elections Web site, www.votealachua.com
The city's Web site also has a feature that allows residents to type in their address and find out which of the four single-members district they live in.
Carpenter said the city and her office may also work to provide more information on the new districts when sample ballots go out before the start of early voting. The days and times for early voting have not yet been set.
District 4 is the only single-member district on the March 19 ballot. These voter precincts are now in District 4: 5,7,23, 27, 31 and 44.

Joe Manganiello Knows What Women Want
With brains to match all that brawn, Joe Manganiello is more than meets the eye. Though the True Blood star plays a brute on TV, Mickey Rapkin learns he's actually just a gentleman in wolf's clothing. Of course, he also happens to look great naked.
His last name may be hard to pronounce, but Joe Manganiello's appeal easily translates: He's the 6'5" he-man with cobblestone abs who brought a massive hit of feral masculinity to HBO's True Blood as the werewolf Alcide Herveaux. Initially hired for just six episodes, Manganiello elicited public approval so loud the network couldn't let him go. (For that same reason, it seems, he often appears on How I Met Your Mother.) Among his Hollywood peers, Chelsea Handler memorably announced at the MTV Movie Awards that she wanted to ride home on his face. Last year, Octavia Spencer, Community's Yvette Nicole Brown, and Retta, from Parks and Recreation, engaged in a Twitter feud over Manganiello, who eventually had to weigh in himself, tweeting, "Can't we all get along here! #FourWay." Manganiello, who starred as Big Dick Richie in Steven Soderbergh's essential Magic Mike, proposed to his girlfriend in Italy in 2010 but reportedly broke things off before settling on a wedding date. He's now dating model Bridget Peters, whom he met in Las Vegas earlier this year. He'll be in classier surroundings shortly: The 36-year-old actor—who studied drama at Carnegie Mellon—brings his werewolf energy to the stage, starring as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire at the Yale Repertory Theatre. Stella!
ELLE: Who was your first crush?
Joe Manganiello: Princess Leia from Star Wars. I actually met Carrie Fisher a couple of years ago. When I told her that she was my first crush, she insisted that we get married and have a reality show about it. I'm lucky to have made it out of that weekend without getting married.
ELLE: Have you ever asked a woman to dress up as Princess Leia?
JM: I'm a nerd. But I'm not that hard-core.
ELLE: Speaking of dress-up: As a 16-year-old in Pittsburgh, you worked at bars—wearing the Captain Morgan pirate costume as part of a promotion. How did women respond?
JM: I was severely underage. Those were the first times I was ever in a bar. Ever drunk in a bar. It was a bit of an education. I'd lie to the hot college girls about going to the University of Pittsburgh. Little did they know that I didn't have a driver's license. My mom would drop me off.
ELLE: Wait, your mom dropped you off?
JM: I don't think she knew what was going on. She knew I was going to make $25 an hour. Those were some of the greatest nights of my life.
ELLE: You wore a thong in Magic Mike. Did that give you an appreciation for what women go through?
JM: What's funny is that male strippers don't wear thongs anymore. They wear flat backs. [Laughs] I don't know what was going on with wardrobe, but whatever. Yes, they're insanely uncomfortable. But women do a lot of uncomfortable things for men—and I appreciate it all. I appreciate high heels. I appreciate thongs.
ELLE: Your character was named Big Dick Richie. There's a lot of expectation there. Do women ever ask for proof?
JM: Hell yeah. That's one of the big reasons you take that part.
ELLE: Have you always been comfortable naked?
JM: No. I play characters who are comfortable naked, but that's something you work up to. I did a play off-Broadway in New York when I was in college. It was full-frontal nudity. It's nerve-racking.
ELLE: Was it also empowering?
JM: No. Doing theater is like walking a tightrope without a net. This was like walking a tightrope without a net—with a giant fan blowing at you.
ELLE: Ever get any valuable advice about women?
JM: Definitely. "I'm not leaving the relationship, I'm just leaving the house." That's a big one. What's another one? "I'd rather be a liar than an asshole."
ELLE: What does that mean?
JM: We've all had those phone conversations. Things are heated, you're in a position where you're gonna say something nasty. Instead, you say, "Oh, I've got that thing in the oven." Lie. Get off the phone. Don't perpetuate a bad situation.
ELLE: Your engagement a few years ago was called off. Did you dodge a bullet?
JM: I'm hesitant to talk about that. My goal is not to harm her. But I'm the happiest and most fulfilled I've ever been. And if I had stayed in that relationship, that wouldn't be the case.
ELLE: A lot of actors get married young these days. Why settle down when the world is opening up to you?
JM: You know, I was single long enough, and when I was, it wasn't about putting notches in the bedpost.
ELLE: Come on.
JM: Whatever. I guess that happens for periods of time. But they were very short. Once you become famous, being single becomes a liability.
ELLE: How so?
JM: In the age of camera phones and screenshots and Twitter…. At the end of the day, I want to share my life with somebody, you know? I want picture albums. I want to look back at our time together. And I also want kids. And if you want kids, then you want marriage.
ELLE: Do women ever underestimate your intelligence because of your looks?
JM: All the time, but it makes it easier to know what they're about. And I can use that [assumption] to surprise the audience. These characters I play? The shirtless dude doing pull-ups in a park? It's a chapter of my career. I did Ibsen and Chekhov for years. Obviously I didn't get the kind of recognition I have now. Somebody once told me, "You ride the horse the direction it's going."
ELLE: If I asked all the women you ever dated to agree on something about you, what would they say?
JM: Oh, man. How do I answer that? Let me put it to you this way: There's nobody that I'm afraid to run into on the street. I've always tried to make sure that I left them in a gentlemanly way. And left them better off than when I met them.
Web exclusive: A few extras from Mickey's interview with Joe. Apparently Magic Mike gave him more than a good nickname.
ELLE: You studied acting at Carnegie Mellon. What were the women like there?
JM: I went to a school that's predominantly computer science and engineering. So, there's a real shortage of hot girls, let's say.
ELLE: So what'd you do about that?
JM: Every weekend the drama department would have parties. The 20 hot girls on campus? All of them were in the drama dept. So we'd have somebody standing guard at the door to keep all the computer science guys out. We had to guard our women at all times.
ELLE: When you first moved to L.A., you got kicked out of your apartment for not paying your rent. Where would you take women when you had no money?
JM: The reason I couldn't pay my rent wasn't because I had trouble balancing my checkbook. The reason I couldn't pay my rent was because I was one of the worst drinkers you'd ever seen in your life.
ELLE: Is there something you said to a woman that led you to get sober?
JM: I quit because that thing inside of me that was driving me to drink that way was causing me so much pain that I was starting to get afraid for my own life, and my own health. It wasn't necessarily one instance. It was a lot that had piled up.
ELLE: Your stripper moves were pretty good. Can you still do them? Do women ask for a demonstration?
JM: I get a lot of requests. Shit, that movie is one of the best things that ever happened to me. When I'd be out-and-about at a club and the music would come on, I was never the guy that was gonna dance. But after Magic Mike—I have like two or three go-to moves. That's what Magic Mike gave me.
ELLE: Did you have a phase where you were going to strip clubs?
JM: [Laughs] I wouldn't say I had a problem. It wasn't a habit. But I'm an average guy. I wasn't the dude who was gonna sit at the stage and dump all my paycheck into the girl.

Pick a fire large and substantive enough that you can weave it thematically through your entire transformation narrative. And then tell that story every chance you get.
Rule 9: The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.
This rule only works once you've established credibility. The best example is Alinsky's O'Hare Airport stunt. He leaked word that mobs of activists were going to tie up the washrooms at O'Hare Airport, and Chicago quickly agreed to his terms.
In technology, this rule is demonstrated at the industry level by the artful leak. Take, for example, rumors about who AppGooBook is thinking about buying. Those leaks are mostly intentional, so ask yourself: Why are they leaking it? The media savvy understand that the messaging around these investments is meant to 1) put Goliath's large competitors on notice and, sadly 2) issue the subtlest of cease-and-desist letters to similar startups/targets. Regardless of their tenacity, the Davids will be forced into existential heartburn -- "If that Goliath is getting into our space then our days are numbered."
If you're skeptical about that last point, ask yourself this question: If most acquisitions are really talent plays, why wouldn't Mr. Moneybags buy up multiple startups in the same space? There's certainly plenty of talent. And Mr. Moneybags has plenty of money.
The artful leak at the industry level creates a reaction among competitors similar to Chicago's reaction to Alinksy's airport stunt. The threat of the entrant is enough to get everyone spinning, wasting dollars and effort on countermeasures to an illusory menace.
There's also an alternate, more populist application of this rule if you're not in a C-level seat. If you're a change agent in IT and can get past the agitating and actually deliver, repeatedly, you can leverage that credibility to force the internal obstructionists onto your next bandwagon. Why? Because corporate white blood cells are usually career climbers, and nothing is more terrifying to them than not being on a journey that's guaranteed to get to its destination.
So when there's credibility behind the message "we're doing this with or without you," the pathogen wins.
Rule 10: Develop operations that will maintain a constant pressure on your competitors.
Some folks have a hard time differentiating between Rules 8 and 10. Rule 8 is about having several models of cars and switching between them frequently. Rule 10 is about investing in an assembly line.
Picking up where we left off in Rule 1, if you're the legacy application owner who's fixing your broken windows, you simply can't stop after one proof of concept (POC). Your management and/or business stakeholders will write that one act off as a fluke. You must deliver POCs regularly.
Two questions always pop up: Where will I find the time and who will pay for it? Both are great examples of you sabotaging you.
Let me put on my Tony Robbins mask for a sec. (Don't be afraid of the horse teeth.) You can always spin another plate! Building an assembly line of and for POCs advances your agenda, so it should trump at least a dozen deliverables now on your plate.
As for who pays for it, who pays for your daily hour of checking emails? The daily hour of browsing? The hour of nothing between two meetings? The half day when a fire erupts in production?
We all have the Google 20% time, but most of us just flush it down the business-as-usual toilet.
Oh, and a quick note on the Google 20%. It's spin. It didn't start out as some premeditated commitment to innovation. It's a recognition by management that everyone needs a break from his or her day job. And if you're not encouraged to spend that time on something constructive and to the benefit of your employer, you'll spend it browsing.

Welcome to The Master's University. Buckle up for what is going to be four of the most exciting, growing, challenging and memorable years of your life.
"College just flies by," is the typical mantra of parents and grandparents that students tend to laugh at and find hard to believe. But as a just-graduated senior, I find myself completely concurring with this statement. As you prepare to enter this entirely new stage of life, I have one piece of advice for you: enjoy every minute of it.
When I look back over my four years at TMC there are a few words that summarize my time at college: social life, experiences, lessons, learning, and people. To help you to "enjoy every minute" of college, I would like to give you my perspective on each of these things.
While you are at college to get a degree, don't be a hermit. Be a good steward, study hard, but remember that diving for change during the Master's Cup, attending basketball games and Spring Party and the Christmas concert, watching Spring Sing, participating in the Year End Show and Disney Day and decorating madly for Make Your Mother Proud are part of your college experience. These moments will bond you with your classmates and will be some of your fondest memories in the end.
While I have strived to work hard in my classes, I have never regretted dropping studying to take a friend to Starbucks who just went through a break-up, or taking a spontaneous beach trip with my roommate, or making a late night taco run to catch up with a wingmate. As a friend once told me, "Grades aren't eternal. But people are."
Join student leadership, be on a team, study abroad! During the fall semester of my senior year I studied in Israel and it tops the charts as my favorite semester at TMU. I also look back on my junior year as an ARA in CDUB as my favorite year of college as well.
The people I got to know on my wing last year and the people that went to Israel with me last semester are some of my best friends today. While you might have to shuffle your schedule around to study abroad, and while you might be up later in the night as an ARA or RA, experiences like these have a way of growing and shaping us like few other things.
Use your time at college to prepare yourself to be the man or woman you want to be. My sophomore year I made a lot of immature choices, but by God's grace this served as a catalyst for me to seek out discipleship, ministry opportunities and fellowship with like-minded believers.
Don't learn things the hard way. Don't abuse your new-found freedom. Strive after maturity and wisdom from the beginning. Take Proverbs to heart and choose to not go down the pathway of regrets.
I know there will always be those professors who "load you up" with homework or who give you confusing tests and there will be those nights that you are up until 3 a.m. wondering why you ever chose to go to college in the first place, but don't forget that to be at The Master's College is an immense privilege.
I have learned things from my Bible classes that according to my dad, "some seminary students don't even know," and my general education classes have helped me to view all aspects of life through a biblical lens.
Whenever you are tempted to complain, think about all of the thousands of individuals who would love to be in your place, but can't afford it.
Having your biblical knowledge rocked by Abner Chou, having someone as seasoned and hilarious as Jack Simons for a teacher, adviser and "grandpa" (thanks for all of the relationship advice, Dr. Simons!), getting to dialogue back and forth with Grant Horner (aka Socrates) in class, getting to learn about world history from someone as insightful and passionate as Jeff Jensen, getting to learn from such a personable and godly man as Bill Schlegel, and having such a caring, fun teacher as Alex Granados who still greets you and engages you in conversation outside of the classroom, and the list could go on … and we complain why? An education at The Master's College is a rich heritage. Be grateful.
The friends I have made at Master's are people I have sobbed with, laughed uncontrollably with, poured out my heart to, prayed with, shared ridiculous adventures with and opened up my life to. They know me so well and are friendships I know I will cherish for the rest of my life.
My two best friends and I "hit it off" during WOW Week when I locked myself out of my room. Last year I got to share life with a hallway of 20-some girls that were some of the godliest, most fun, and caring individuals and who remain today some of my dearest friends.
My discipler is a part of The Master's College community and has modeled a Christ-centered life to me over the past two years that we have met together. The 30-some individuals I went to Israel with shared a life-changing experience with me and we now share a unique bond and friendship like few others.
My boyfriend and I met through a communications class before he got up the nerve to ask me out. Even people who I have simply sat with in class or passed during our daily walks to class have emulated Christ and encouraged me in some way.
Get to know people during your time at Master's. Resident directors, resident assistants, classmates, wingmates, your roommates—it's the people at Master's that ultimately make the school the special place that it is.
So as you head into college and begin to realize that bad grades, late nights, interpersonal drama and homesickness are inevitable realities you will face, don't be afraid. Heed the words of missionary Jim Elliot: "Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God."
The good of college will far outweigh the bad. And the fun moments will far surpass the hard ones.
As one of my friends pointed out to me during a "cupcake run" the other day, college is a season. It's such a short phase. You won't always get to go on coffee dates and enjoy social functions and have heart-to-hearts and rich fellowship with like-minded believers on a daily basis like you will during your time at TMU.
I realized a few months ago, as I was handed my cap and gown that college truly does fly by. New student, resolve now to enjoy every minute of it.

Officials: Sarasota GOP leader stole rival's name
Published: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 9:44 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 9:44 a.m.
SARASOTA, Fla. — A former leader of Sarasota's Republican Party allegedly stole a GOP rival's name to make donations to the campaigns of President Barack Obama and other Democrats.
Investigators say Robert Waechter wanted to make Lourdes Ramirez appear to be a disloyal Republican and hurt her possible campaign for the Sarasota County Commission.
The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported Tuesday that the 71-year-old Waechter allegedly purchased a prepaid debit card in Ramirez's name last year and used it to make donations to Obama and Democratic congressional and legislative candidates. Those donations could have been used against Ramirez in a Republican primary.
Waechter is charged with fraudulent use of personal identification. The former member of the Sarasota County Republican executive committee is scheduled for trial in January. He has declined to discuss the charges.

The 2012/2013 feed grain balance sheet was unchanged this month as forecast U.S. feed grain supplies are steady and disappearance is unchanged. Production, projected at 284.7 million metric tons, is 12 percent below 2011/2012. Projected supplies are 317.1 million tons, also down 12 percent from a year ago.
Forecast U.S. feed grain use is unchanged this month at 297.6 million metric tons, down 10 percent from 2011/2012. Forecast ending stocks of 19.5 million tons are 30 percent below the previous season. Tight ending stocks continue to support average prices received by farmers at record-high levels.
Feed Use
On a September-August marketing year basis for 2012/13, U.S. feed and residual use for the four feed grains plus wheat is projected to total 116.4 million tons, up slightly this month due to an assumed increase in wheat feed and residual use during summer 2013. Corn is expected to account for 91 percent of feed and residual use, compared with 88 percent last year.
The projected index of grain-consuming animal units (GCAU) in 2012/13 is 90.8 million units, slightly lower than last month and below last season's 92.6 million. Feed and residual per GCAU is estimated at 1.28 tons, compared with 1.41 tons in 2011/12. In the major index components, GCAUs are increased this month for cattle on feed, layers, and broilers.
Forecast Corn Price Projected Lower
The forecast U.S. corn price received by farmers for 2012/13 is reduced by $0.15 per bushel on the low end of the range and $0.25 on the high end to $6.80 to $8.00 per bushel, putting the midpoint of the range down $0.20 to $7.40. The early corn harvest has boosted the share of marketings in the first months of the marketing year, when prices tend to be seasonally low relative to later months. Moreover, the average farm prices reported by NASS have been lower than prevailing market prices, reflecting earlier forward pricing when corn prices were lower. Early marketings may include a disproportionate share of corn with quality problems that have price discounts. The season average price received by farmers in 2011/12 was $6.22 per bushel.

If you are using CQ5.5 SP1 and you edit the page properties in siteadmin, this may not work as expected. For example, vanity URLs added to the page properties may not work correctly.
The issue with the page properties occurs because the node jcr:primaryType gets changed from cq:PageContent into nt:unstructured, due to a change in the latest Sling POST servlet. The only way to avoid this node change with SP1 is to edit the page properties of a page using the sidekick within each page view.
This issue is resolved in CQ5.5 SP2.1, and later versions.
If you cannot update to SP2.1 at this time there is a workaround using an overlay which you can install to avoid this problem.
Download and install the attached content package (SiteAdmin.Actions.js-overlay_40752.zip), containing an overlay of SiteAdmin.Actions.js, which prevents the nodetype of the jcr:content node being changed to nt:unstructured. Once the package is installed, please make sure to clear your browser cache to avoid potential client-side caching issues.
After upgrading to SP2.1 be sure to remove this overlay.

I'm thinking each department should be split into their own articles (some have them already...) that way we can just do a list of the departments instead of half being almost an article and half being just a link to the main article. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 00:57, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- I agree. After all, this is the HP Wiki.. let's create articles on even small, unimportant issues, and not try to make our articles follow Wikipedia notability guideline pages, like List of minor characters (where they don't think it important enough to have a separate page on Ignotus Peverell for instance. —Animagi/Prongs 01:35, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- Totally agree. Even the most throwaway characters or objects should have their own articles. - Cavalier One 08:31, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. Me_Potter_Fan 00:47, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- Done::-- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 01:50, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Is this the official Ministry of Magic logo? I have never seen it before. 220.127.116.11 03:30, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
- It's from the Order of the Phoenix film. Only briefly glimpsed in the actual film itself, the logo has made its way onto various merchandise that was released. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 07:18, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
Why is this page called "British Ministry of Magic" when it doesn't have the word "British" in the first sentence of the article? -- GrouchMan (Send an owl then scram!!) 19:34, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
- The article's name is British Ministry of Magic, in order to avoid confusion among other govenments (like Bulgarian Ministry of Magic). -- Seth Cooper owl post! 10:01, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
- While I understand that "British Minsitry of Magic" is a good title because it avoids confusion with other Ministries, as it is the prominent, main Ministy in the saga and is only referred to as "Ministry of Magic" in the books i think it might be a good idea to reconsider. I thought the idea of having this page called "Ministry of Magic" and then having a Point Me at the beginning of the article to other Ministries (which should have the country their front of their names, as they are not very well known).
- What I suppose i'm saying is instead of calling this page "British" to distinguish it from other Ministries, let's have the other ministries distinguish themselves from this page. Or, have a disambiguation page for "Ministry of Magic" which points to all the ones in different countries. Again, I understand that the policy of the wiki is to have it called "British Ministry of Magic" but it just doesn't seem like the best choice, but I was under the impression that this wiki considers the books to be canon and nowhere is it said that is Ministry is specificially called "British Minsitry of Magic".
- Thanks for listening, JSquish 16:21, August 24, 2011 (UTC)
- In my opinion all of the Ministries should be named <Country> Ministry of Magic. The other countries' ministries are named that way and I see no point in doing the British Ministry any differently. Yes, it is never called "British Ministry of Magic" in the books but naming it such avoids confusion. I do think "Ministry of Magic" should be some sort of disambiguation page and I thought of making it such earlier but there were so many Ministries listed in the Governments category I gave up. -Shorty1982 16:41, August 24, 2011 (UTC)
Where is it said that the Ministry of Magic only has authority over Britain? This must be an oversight since the Ministry of Magic has obviously proven that it has full authority over Hogwarts which is a school in Scotland. So i would argue that the Ministry of Magic's Authority and Jurisdiction extends beyond just Britain but to Scotland, possibly Wales, and presumably Ireland as well. Any thoughts? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs).
- By "Britain", we mean the UK. In the fourth book, the Bulgarian Minister is mentioned.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs).
- Britain encompasses the island of Great Britain, including England, Scotland and Wales. It does not include Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland.18.104.22.168 19:24, April 23, 2013 (UTC)
why death eaters?
Why led the ministiry of magic just led lucius Malfoy, even if his a death eater just free? They are searching for those people isn't it, and Fudge is talking to him? This question have i a long time with me!--Station7 19:48, November 21, 2009 (UTC)
- Lucius Malfoy is one of the most influential person in the wizarding world. They can't captured him until a strong evidences that he is a Death Eater are presented. He probably used his wealth to influence the Ministry. --ÈnŔîčö DC(Send me an Owl!) 01:53, November 22, 2009 (UTC)
Does the British Ministry of Magic have authority over Ireland? Because in the fourth book, at the Quidditch World Cup, the match is between Ireland and Bulgaria - we hear about the Bulgarian Minister (as Bulgaria are playing) and about Cornelius Fudge (as the match is in the UK), but there is no mention of an Irish Minister or Ministry. I assume from this that the "British" Ministry also covers the Republic of Ireland, like Hogwarts does? --XJakeElwoodx 18:45, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
I think, you're right--Thorning 18:56, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
It is possible, but I don't believe, very likely. I assume the history of Wizarding Britain and Ireland is different to the Muggle nations, so therefore I cannot see how Ireland should be politically joined to Britain. Also, throughout the series, the term 'Britain' is used, not the UK, which would refer to the island of Great Britain. This is distinctly separate from the island of Ireland. However, the absence of an Irish Minister at the Quidditch World Cup is confusing. Therefore it is more likely that there is a separate Ministry in Ireland, but it works closely with the British Ministry.184.108.40.206 19:31, April 23, 2013 (UTC)
This Paragraph:
Under the direction of Minister Cornelius Fudge, trials were short and did not employ juries (instead, a Wizarding Council heard every case, regardless of what prior knowledge they had of this case), there was no possibility to appeal the verdict, and lawyers were not allowed. It is unknown if conditions have improved with the new administration.
Makes absolutely no sense to me, Where is a source for this and where was it taken from? -- Ratneer Owl Me! 03:07, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
Ministry of magic
hogwarts does not have "juristriction" over Ireland just because it has one Irish student! That's a ludicrous assumption! And I'd say the ROI has it's own ministry because in "the other minister" crouch only visits the British primeminister and not the Irish Taoiseach! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs).
- I mean Seamus's family could have chosen Hogwarts over a wizarding institution in Ireland. I'd say it is possible that he's Northern Irish, but since he was with a large bloc of Irish at the Quidditch World Cup, it is doubtful. I think that all Nation-States have their own Ministries. It is laid out that way in the Statute of Secrecy. --JKoch(Owl Me!) 22:10, March 17, 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, just to clarify this, JK Rowling has explicitly stated that Hogwarts is the only wizarding school for students in both the UK and Ireland: http://www.accio-quote.org/articles/1999/0799-telegraph-cleave.html ("A month before your's child's 11th birthday, if you are a resident of the UK or Ireland, you will receive a letter delivered by owl telling you your child is due at Hogwarts.") --XJakeElwoodx 22:52, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
What is the ministry's legal basis? How is the minister of magic selectet/elected?
My impression is that the british wizads need some help in "democrazy"!
Why the opinion wasn't signed?
In my opinion, there is no an actual election for Minister for Magic position, what maybe happens is that some high hanked/influencial/important wizard (who could be a Ministry of Magic employee or someone else in the wizarding community) is invited to occupy the position. On the book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Hagrid says to Harry Potter that Cornelius Fudge was the minister because Albus Dumbledore had not accepted the job. Andre G. Dias (talk) 12:48, February 12, 2014 (Brazil)
Headquarters in Bulgaria?
In the template it says that the headquarters are in Bulgaria but it is wrong, it is in London.Coolmon54-Hell Yeah 22:16, April 7, 2011 (UTC)
Nevermind it has been fixed. Coolmon54-Hell Yeah 23:19, April 7, 2011 (UTC)
How of the Ten levels structured, which one is closest to the surface. The payphone on the outside takes a person to level 8 which would suggest the Atrium is directly underneath the surface but that wouldn't make much sense considering levels 9 and 10.
Description of Fudge
I cannot concur with the concept that he was a "highly corruptible, easily intimidated man". He was nowhere near Dumbledore's stature, but I don't believe that he was intrisically any worse that any other mid-level bureaucrat promoted beyond his capabilities. In PoA he does his best for Harry, despite having been at odds with Dumbledore the year before, and having, one would imagine, in his own mind at least, cause to fear Harry as a potential rallying point for those looking to get him kicked out as Minister. If Dolores Umbridge is remotely typical of the sycophancy which surrounds him, it's little wonder that he rejects the evidence of Voldemort's return, and seeks to consolidate power. Jiskran 16:37, June 24, 2012 (UTC)
Restructuring the article
Hello! I would like to edit this article to make it (1) clearer (section headings are unclear and there are internal redundancies like repeating Muggle relations info); (2) overlap less with other articles (a lot of the info belongs in the Department-specific articles or in the BMoM HQ article); and (3) less biased (it reflects Harry's opinions, but an encyclopedia/reference site should be objective). To achieve these goals, I will restructure the sections, moving around much of the existing info and deleting some that's unnecessarily biased or that's very redundant with other articles. I will still include criticisms of the Ministry in a new section called "Criticisms." Here's my proposed organization:
1. History
1.1. Early years
1.2. Under Cornelius Fudge
1.3. Under Rufus Scrimgeour
1.4. Under Pius Thicknesse
1.5. After the Battle of Hogwarts
2. Structure
2.1. Departments (with smaller subsections for each dept.)
3. People
3.1. Ministers for Magic
3.2. Heads of Department
3.3. Other known personnel
4. Muggle relations
5. Criticisms
6. Appearances
7. See also
8. External links
9. Notes and references
I would appreciate any feedback on my proposed changes! If no one has serious objections I'm going to start making the changes tomorrow, Dec 30. Thanks! Ravenclaw999 (talk) 04:22, December 30, 2013 (UTC)
Known countries with Ministries of Magic
I suggest to add at the topic "Known countries with Ministries of Magic" the following countries:
For others informations, see the page: Category:Magical_governments

Ministry of Magic revenue/income
Does anyone knows what is the Ministry of Magic's revenue/income to able to pay the wages of the large number of employees? Does exist taxes in the wizarding world too? (rs) Andre G. Dias (talk) 13:08, February 12, 2014 (Brazil)
Magical Governments (and article restructuring)
Hello. I would like to edit the article 'Ministry of Magic' to make it more embracing to all known forms of political organisations of the wizarding communities worldwide, starting with the title: Magical Governments. In addition to the Ministries of Magic, other forms of magical government are cited in the canon, such as Councils and Magical Congress. It's pointless that this is still a trivia. That said, would there be any problems to do so? Mnonai (talk) 20:10, August 29, 2015 (UTC)
I've got a question reffering to the infobox.
It states, that Hermione Granger is the current Minister for Magic, while Minister for Magic says that currently (2016) Kingsley Shacklebolt is the current one.
My question is:
Which point in time is "current"?
Tommi r (talk) 13:56, August 8, 2016 (UTC)
- We try to write on this wikia as though we are writing it from the future. If we only wrote things that have happened in and before August 2016, we wouldn't be able to write about the epilogue or the events of The Cursed Child for example, on any page. So, we write as though we are from a time after that happened. We include the latest information we have, no matter how far in the future it happened. Hermione being Minister is the latest information we have for that topic, so she remains the "current" one until we have the name of someone who became Minister after her.
- The best way to see this idea at work is on character pages, such as Harry Potter. We put he "was a half-blood wizard" on his page. Technically, he would still be alive today in August 2016 so it should be "Harry Potter is a half-blood wizard". But it's simpler for the entire wikia if we write like we are from the future so we have a clearer idea of what we can write - which is everything! Help that helps! --Kates39 (talk) 14:16, August 8, 2016 (UTC)
How do we know it has jurisdiction over Ireland?
I don't recall seeing anything in the books or the movies that the British and Irish ministries of magic are one in the same. I could be wrong but should we not remove mention of Ireland from this article? I don't see why the two countries would have one ministry.
--Dalekdrone11 (talk) 21:07, November 22, 2016 (UTC)
- This talk page has a few threads about this already so see above. In general the lines of reasoning are:
- JKR's comment that if you are "a resident of the UK or Ireland" you receive a letter for Hogwarts (such as Seamus Finnigan).
- The British Ministry of Magic's ability to regulate the operation of Hogwarts and its students.
- The lack of an Irish Minister for Magic at the 1994 Quidditch World Cup Final between Bulgaria and Ireland. There was a Bulgarian Minister for Magic and the British Minister for Magic which appears to indicate the lack of a separate Irish Ministry.
- --Ironyak1 (talk) 23:23, November 22, 2016 (UTC)
- I know I'm 9 months late replying but I will reply any way just to prove a point.
- 1) Just because Irish students go to Hogwarts doesn't mean anything. Travel between the two nations is very easy and Irish students at a British school shouldn't be a big deal.
- 2) See point 1
- 3) The presence of the British Minister of Magic is expected as the world cup did take place in England after all.
- I would also like to futher add that Ireland and Britain are two completely different nations and Irish people would not like to be ruled by the British government. The same would probably apply with in the wizarding world.

Productivity at North American container terminals runs the gamut from consistently excellent to consistently inadequate yet two points are indisputable: demands for higher productivity are growing, but improvements have lagged. Larger ships are calling North American ports just as shippers are clamoring for efficiency and reliability needed to offset slower transit times. What's needed to improve productivity at North American terminals? What are best practices that can be adapted? What investments are needed? How can they be paid for? What's the impact on cargo owners, truckers and other stakeholders?
The JOC Group Inc. is launching this first-ever Port Productivity Seminar to address what is arguably the most complex yet most important node in the container supply chain. This seminar will examine strategies, technology and practices throughout the container terminal, including the vessel, yard and gate. The one-day event will take place in at the Newark Club in Newark, NJ on Tuesday, December 10, 2013.
The JOC Port Productivity program will consist of a mix of speakers, panel discussions and case studies. In addition, several awards will be given out to ports and terminals based on the recently launched JOC Port Productivity data. The program will be put together by The Journal of Commerce's expert editorial team, including Peter Tirshwell, Chris Brooks, Joe Bonney and Bill Mongelluzzo.
For more information on JOC Port Productivity data, read the whitepaper here.
