"Everything is made in house," said Jim Barnes, one of this laid-back restaurant's owners. And by "everything," he means it—even the pickles are made in-house.Although it's called Cowboy Cafe, don't come expecting too much kitsch. While you may hear live bluegrass that happens a few nights a week, there's an equal chance you might hear rock'n'roll. We ventured in (note, we did not mosey), on a weekday afternoon and found a casual, laid-back atmosphere filled with friendly locals looking for a tipple and a meal. "We think of ourselves as one of the last neighborhood dive bars," said Jim, one of the spot's owners. And while that might describe the the vibe, the food quality tops that of many-a-fancier restaurant. "Everything is made in-house," continued Jim. And by "everything," he means it—even the pickles are made in-house, so don't discard the sphere that comes alongside the half-pound burgers. Ranging from veggie to the Barnyard (a behemoth double burger that's topped with BBQ pork, two slices of cheddar, a fried egg and bacon), there are 15 varieties of this filling dish available. We went with the LoJo, which comes smothered in bleu cheese, grilled onions and and the chef's spicy TNT sauce. For those feeling less carnivorous, bite into a fresh-made salad. The Southwest Salad is always a good idea, as is pretty much anything served in a tortilla bowl.
Menu Highlights:
Southwest Salad, $9.50
Chicken Wings, $7.75
The Barnyard Burger, $15
LoJo Burger, $9
The Cowboy Steak, $12.95
Deal Hours:
Monday - Friday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Saturday - Sunday, 9 a.m. to 11 p.m.

The league (formerly known as Rich-Haven) has been marching each spring since the mid-1950s, along the way becoming not only a tradition but a rite of passage for young boys and girls in our community.
The residents of Woodhaven have chipped in and donated money to sponsor a team and the Woodhaven Residents' Block Association will be hosting a parade-watching party at their office to cheer on all the kids. The party starts at 10 a.m. at 84-20 Jamaica Avenue. Come out ready to make noise and cheer on the league.
The marchers will be assembling at Equity Park (PS 60) at around 9:30 a.m. They will start the parade down 92nd Street at 10 a.m. to Jamaica Avenue where they will turn left. They will march down the avenue until they hit Forest Parkway, where they will turn towards Forest Park and continue marching until they reach the bandshell.
It's a great day for everyone involved, but especially the kids. It marks the end of winter (we hope) and the start of a new season. For the youngest kids, it's the very beginning of something special. It's where they will make new friends, learn the importance of teamwork, learn the value of good sportsmanship, and how to handle adversity.
Growing up in Woodhaven, getting a few hits and having your name mentioned in the next week's Leader-Observer was about as big-time as it got for a kid. Forty years later and I still have some of those clippings saved in a scrapbook. Those were good days.
My father was very involved in the league. He loved managing and the excitement of the games, but he loved the practices most of all. Teaching, talking to the kids, building a team – that's what he enjoyed the most.
Our best season came when I was 15 in the Youth Division playing for the Phils. We had a really good team, and by that I don't just mean that we played well. As it turned out, we did – we finished first that year. But more importantly, we had a good group of kids that had learned how to play together as a team.
Here's a picture of our team, moments before our championship game. You can see that we were all loose and relaxed and having fun. We were pretty confident, even though we were going to be playing one man short that day.
Our shortstop broke his arm the week before sliding into third base, he's the kid my dad is playfully choking in this picture. But we pulled together as a team, and with him cheering us on we overcame his absence and won the game. Those were good, good days and I remember them all fondly.
Years later, through Facebook, I heard from our shortstop. His name is Terry Flanagan and he is now the president of WORKS Little League. He has overseen the transformation of the league and the addition of a softball league for girls and a Challenger league for children with special needs. My father would be extremely proud of the man our shortstop has become.
And now you know the rest of the story.
It makes me proud that my father was part of that, and I think that's the important thing to remember when you are watching the kids march this Saturday. You're not only watching a bunch of kids, but you are watching our future neighborhood leaders. You are cheering for our future firemen and police officers and doctors and inventors and teachers.
Our future. It's a worthy investment.
So, come out and root, root, root for the home team and cheer on the future this Saturday anywhere along Jamaica Avenue from 92nd Street to Forest Parkway. Or join your friends and neighbors at the Woodhaven Residents' Block Association.
Play ball!

|Dress and Grooming Standards
The dress and grooming of both men and women should always be modest, neat, clean, and consistent with the values and principles of Brigham Young University-Idaho and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Modesty and cleanliness are important values that reflect personal dignity and integrity. Members of the BYU-Idaho community represent the principles and standards of the Church. The members of that community commit themselves to observe the following standards, which reflect the direction of the BYU-Idaho Board of Trustees and the Church publication For the Strength of the Youth. These guiding principles apply at all CES institutions of higher education. The application of these principles may vary slightly at the various institutions in accordance with local conditions and circumstances.
A clean and well-cared-for appearance should be maintained. Hairstyles should be clean and neat, avoiding extreme styles or colors, and trimmed above the collar leaving the ear uncovered. Sideburns should not extend below the earlobe or onto the cheek. If worn, mustaches should be neatly trimmed and may not extend beyond or below the corners of the mouth. Men are expected to be clean-shaven; beards are not acceptable. Earrings and other body piercing are unacceptable. Shoes should be worn in all public campus areas.
A clean and well-cared-for appearance should be maintained. Clothing is inappropriate when it is sleeveless, strapless, backless, or revealing, has slits above the knee, or is formfitting. Dresses and skirts must be knee length or longer. Hairstyles should be clean and neat, avoiding extreme styles and colors. Excessive ear piercing (more than one per ear) and all other body piercings are inappropriate. Shoes should be worn in all public campus areas.
BYU-Idaho Dress and Grooming Standards
Good taste, common sense, discretion, consideration, and high moral standards are the watchwords for dress and grooming. Flagrant behavior or extreme dress and grooming at any time or in any place may result in a review of the individual's understanding of the expected behavior or grooming. Clothing is to be modest in fabric, fit, length, style, and appropriate for the occasion. Men's and women's dress should be reflective of their gender, and excessive or extreme styles should be avoided. For women, wardrobe selection should reflect modesty and femininity becoming a Latter-day Saint woman. For men, clothing should reflect good taste and masculinity becoming a priesthood bearer.
The following supplemental information is provided to give students, staff, faculty, and administrators general guidelines in determining appropriate from inappropriate attire and grooming. Because of the constant change in dress and grooming styles, some trends, fads, or fashions common in the world may be determined inappropriate. The Dean of Students, after consulting with his/her staff and the President's Council, reserves the right to determine that a specific style or fad is inappropriate and thereby unacceptable at BYU-Idaho.
Failure to comply with the Honor Code or dress and grooming standards could result in suspension from BYU-Idaho.

skirts, and blouses or sweaters
Bib overalls (all styles)

Chella Melnechuk.- The Voiceless Dogs of Nassau, Bahamas is an AMAZING lady - a true Angel on Earth.
This remarkable human needs some help please.
Please share this news to help be a much needed voice for the voiceless of Nassau, Bahamas. It is time someone listens to their cries for help.
Chella is not a rescue, an organization or shelter..
It is just Chella, helping all the dogs that she can.
Chella goes out everyday to drive around the island to feed every dog that she can see on the streets.
The sick ones go to the vet to be treated and then released.
There are so many dogs roaming this small island, injured, sick, nursing mothers, puppies, starving.
Some are so blessed to find loving homes and start again a new life away from the streets and away from this island.
Sadly not all the dogs get to have any chance at all, because either help came too late for them and then all Chella can do is bury them and cry for them.
Please visit her facebook page - The Voiceless Dogs of Nassau, Bahamas , to see just what Chella does. She has had both deep heartbreak and great success.
Let's help her to help as many of these dogs as we can.
DONATIONS are very much appreciated, it helps to buy the dogs food, provide Vet care, and transportation (if they are lucky) to their new home.
This is the link you can kindly please share - thankyou.
Every donation goes towards helping the dogs, and every $ helps!

On Sunday, the eve of the celebration of the birth of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and the second inauguration of President Barack Obama, some 300 communicants and friends packed East Baltimore's historic St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church in the 1500 block of East Oliver St.
They gathered for a special Mass to kick off the yearlong celebration of the church's founding 150 years ago as the nation's first Roman Catholic church officially, and specifically, for African-Americans.
The service was conducted by Archbishop William E. Lori of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, and the Rev. James E. McLinden, pastor of St. Francis Xavier. They were joined by co-celebrant retired Auxiliary Archbishop Guy A. Sansaricq of Brooklyn, N.Y.
At the conclusion of the service, the congregation spilled outside to the nearby corner of Oliver and East Caroline streets for an unveiling of a sign renaming the street in the block the church calls home.
"For the next year, that block will be known as St. Francis Xavier Way," said Beryl Graham of Laurel, a member of the congregation. Afterward, parishioners gathered at the nearby Dr. Bernard Harris Elementary School for a celebratory luncheon.
According to the church's records of its history, founders of St. Francis Xavier were black San Domingo refugees who had settled in Baltimore, and Sulpician Fathers, who had fled the French Revolution and settled in the city.
Masses were initially conducted in the basement at St. Mary's Seminary and St. Ignatius on North Calvert Street, but then a building on the southeast corner of Calvert and Pleasant streets was purchased in 1863 and, the next year, was dedicated. In 1932, the church moved to Eager and Caroline streets, and since 1968 has been in its present building at Caroline and Oliver streets.

caption id="attachment_11031" align="alignleft" width="168"] By Jonathan Ruff, Senior Director, Technical Marketing, ARRIS/caption]
Several big questions are top-of-mind for every service provider heading to SCTE next week:
ARRIS's product managers and professional services experts will be answering these questions and more in daily demonstrations in our booth (#1074) under the following topics:
Our Gigabit Solution Wall will highlight our E6000 CER's flexible deployment options and support for CCAP and Gigabit DOCSIS 3.1 services to subscribers over today's HFC networks at distances of +70 miles. The E6000 provides multiple paths to bring fiber all the way to the home or premises, with hardware and software updates, integration of Remote PHY and Full-Duplex DOCSIS, and the ability to support Fiber Deeper technologies—like RFoG, Node PON and EPON.
Our industry-leading portfolio of DOCSIS 3.1 gateways and broadband devices will be on display, showcasing its Gigabit and multi-Gigabit capabilities.
We'll demonstrate our flagship Touchstone TG3462 smart home gateway—our most powerful gateway to-date—downloading movies and Virtual Reality experiences while distributing 4K video streams to our latest Wi-Fi UHD HEVC set-tops. It can deliver over 5Gbps of data around the home, with four GigE ports and an 8x8 MIMO 802.11ac Wi-Fi radio.
We'll also showcase our comprehensive range of routers and WiFi extenders, along with new management capabilities, like ARRIS's Assurance solutions and in-home user management features. And we'll be demonstrating CPE function virtualization, which enables new levels of scalability, cost-efficiency and performance.
In our Intelligent Gateway Area, you can learn about our gateways' new home network management features, IoT capabilities, and support for new services and applications.
We'll also have our portfolio of video set-top devices on display—demonstrating 4K UHD HEVC video delivered over 802.11ac Wi-Fi, DVR and compact set-top functionality for whole-home solutions, support for RDK, and a range of leading User Experiences including TiVo, Espial G4, and X1 Syndication.
Future of TV
Our video product teams will be demonstrating how the ARRIS Cloud Video Delivery Platform—coupled with our ME7000 encoder/transcoder for advanced TV formats—can enable a phased approach to the evolution to IP video. You can learn how to build on VOD and nDVR capabilities and how multicast ABR can enable a bandwidth optimized managed video service for linear TV services to multiscreen devices.
Customer Experience Management
Management of the subscriber experience is paramount to driving higher NPS (Net Promoter Scores). ARRIS will be demonstrating three tool systems designed to improve NPS: Access Network Management, Field Service Management, and Home Network Management. These tools enable a range of assurance capabilities—from monitoring access network trends and remediating issues before they affect the consumer experience, to providing integrated tools for both technicians and subscribers to manage the home network.
We look forward to meeting you at SCTE. Check out presentations from our industry experts, catch Bob Stanzione, our Executive Chairman, at the opening panel session on Tuesday, September 27th, watch ARRIS's sponsored First Robotics team: The Firebirds, compete immediately afterwards in the Central Lounge.
And don't forget to drop by our booth (#1074) to get ARRIS's answers to your most important industry questions!

challenge(redirected from food challenge)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia.
1) n. the right of each attorney in a jury trial to request that a juror be excused. There may be a "challenge for cause" on the basis the juror had admitted prejudice or shows some obvious conflict of interest (e.g. the juror used to work for the defendant or was once charged with the same type of crime) which the judge must resolve. If the juror is excused (removed) "for cause," then the challenge does not count against the limited number of challenges allowed each side. More common is the "peremptory challenge," which is a request that a juror be excused without stating a reason. An attorney might say: "Juror number eight may be excused." Only six or eight peremptory challenges are normally allowed each side. Systematic peremptory challenges of all blacks or all women may be examples and proof that a defendant has been deprived of a jury of his/her peers and result in an appeal based on lack of due process.

challengeto make formal objection to a juror or jury.
CHALLENGE. This word has several significations. 1. It is an exception or objection to a juror. 2. A call by one person upon another to a single combat, which is said to be a challenge to fight.
CHALLENGE, criminal law. A request by one person to another, to fight a
2. It is a high offence at common law, and indictable, as tending to a breach of the peace. It may be in writing or verbally. Vide Hawk. P. C. b. 1, c. 63, s. 3; 6 East, R. 464; 8 East, R. 581; 1 Dana, R. 524; 1 South.. R. 40; 3 Wheel. Cr. C. 245 3 Rogers' Rec. 133; 2 M'Cord, R. 334 1 Hawks. R. 487; 1 Const. R. 107. He who carries a challenge is also punishable by indictment. In most of the states, this barbarous practice is punishable by special laws.
3. In most of the civilized nations challenging another to fight. is a crime, as calculated to destroy the public peace; and those who partake in the offence are generally liable to punishment. In Spain it is punished by loss of offices, rents, and horrors received from the king, and the delinquent is incapable to hold them in future. Aso & Man. Inst. B. 2, t. 19, c. 2, Sec. 6. See, generally, 6 J. J. Marsh. 120; 1 Munf. 468; 1 Russ. on Cr. 275; 6 J. J. Marsh. 1 19; Coust. Rep. 10 7; Joy on Chal. passim.
CHALLENGE, practice. An exception made to jurors who are to pass on a trial;
to a judge; or to a sheriff.
2. It will be proper here to consider, 1. the several kinds of challenges; 2. by whom they are to be made; 3. the time and manner of making them.
3.-1. The several kinds of challenges may be divided into those which are peremptory, and those which are for cause. 1. Peremptory challenges are those 'which are made without assigning any reason, and which the court must allow. The number of these which the prisoner was allowed at common law, in all cases of felony, was thirty-five, or one under three full juries. This is regulated by the local statutes of the different states, and the number except in capital cases, has been probably reduced.
4.-2. Challenges for cause are to the array or to the polls. 1. A challenge to the array is made on account of some defect in making the return to the venire, and is at once an objection to all the jurors in the panel. It is either a principal challenge, that is, one founded on some manifest partiality, or error committed in selecting, depositing, drawing or summoning the jurors, by not pursuing the directions of the acts of the legislature; or a challenge for favor.
5.-2. A challenge to the polls is objection made separately to each juror as he is about to be sworn. Challenges to the polls, like those to the array, are either principal or to the favor.
6. First, principal challenges may be made on various grounds: 1st. propter defectum, on account of some personal objection, as alienage, infancy, old age, or the want of those qualifications required by legislative enactment. 2d. Propter affectum, because of some presumed or actual partiality in the juryman who is made the subject of the objection; on this ground a juror may be objected to, if he is related to either within the ninth degree, or is so connected by affinity; this is supposed to bias the juror's mind, and is only a presumption of partiality. Coxe, 446; 6 Greenl. 307; 3 Day, 491. A juror who has conscientious scruples in finding a verdict in a capital case, may be challenged. 1 Bald. 78. Much stronger is the reason for this challenge, where the juryman has expressed his wishes as to the result of the trial, or his opinion of the guilt or innocence of the defendant. 4 Harg. St. Tr. 748; Hawk. b. 2, c. 43, s. 28; Bac. Ab. Juries, E 5. And the smallest degree of interest in the matter to be tried is a decisive objection against a juror. 1 Bay, 229; 8 S. & R. 444; 2 Tyler, 401. But see 5 Mass. 90. 3d. The third ground of principal challenge to the polls, is propter delictum, or the legal incompetency of the juror on the ground of infamy. The court, when satisfied from their own examination, decide as to the principal challenges to the polls, without any further investigation and there is no occasion for the appointment of triers. Co. Litt. 157, b; Bac. Ab. Juries, E 12; 8 Watts. R. 304.
7.-Secondly. Challenges to the poll for favor may be made, when, although the juror is not so evidently partial that his supposed bias will be sufficient to authorize. a principal challenge, yet there are reasonable grounds to suspect that he will act under some undue influence or prejudice. The causes for such challenge are manifestly very numerous, and depend, on a variety of circumstances. The fact to be ascertained is, whether the juryman is altogether indifferent as he stands unsworn, because, even unconsciously to himself, be may be swayed to one side. The line which separates the causes for principal challenges, and for challenge to the favor, is not very distinctly marked. That the juror has acted as godfather to the child of the prosecutor or defendant, is cause for a principal challenge; Co. Litt. 157, a; while the fact that the party and the juryman are fellow servants, and that the latter has been entertained at the house of the former, is only cause for challenge to the favor. Co. Litt. 147; Bac. Ab. Juries, E 5. Challenges to the favor are not decided upon by the court, but are settled by triers. (q.v.)
8.-2. The challenges may be made by the government, or those who represent it, or by the defendant, in criminal cases; or they may be made by either party in civil cases.
9.-3. As to the time of making the challenge, it is to be observed that it is a general rule, that no challenge can be made either to the array or to the polls, until a full jury have made their appearance, because if that should be the case, the issue will remain pro defectu juratorum; and on this account, the party who intends to challenge the array, may, under such a contingency, pray a tales to complete the number, and then object to the panel. The proper time, of challenging, is between the appearance and the swearing of the jurors. The order of making challenges is to the array first, and should not that be supported, then to the polls; challenging any one juror, waives the right of challenging the array. Co. Litt. 158, a; Bac. Ab. Juries, E 11. The proper manner of making the challenge, is to state all the objections against the jurors at one time; and the party will not be allowed to make a second objection to the same juror, when the first has been overruled. But when a juror has been challenged on one side, and found indifferent, he may still be challenged on the other. When the juror has been challenged for cause, and been pronounced impartial, he may still be challenged peremptorily. 6 T. R. 531; 4 Bl. Com. 356; Hawk. b. 2, c. 46, s. 10.
10. As to the mode of making the challenge, the rule is, that a challenge to the array must be in writing; but when it is only to a single individual, the words "I challenge him" are sufficient in a civil case, or on the part of the defendant, in a criminal case when the challenge is made for the prosecution, the attorney-general says, "We challenge him." 4 Harg. St. Tr. 740 Tr. per Pais, 172; and see Cro. C. 105; 2 Lil. Entr. 472; 10 Wentw. 474; 1 Chit. Cr. Law, 533 to 551.
11. Interest forms the only ground at common law for challenging a judge. It is no ground of challenge that he has given an opinion in the case before. 4 Bin. 349; 2 Bin. 454. By statute, there are in some states several other grounds of challenge. See Courts of the U. S., 633 64.
12. The sheriff may be challenged for favor as well as affinity. Co. Litt. 158, a; 10 Serg. &. R. 336-7. And the challenge need not be made to the court, but only to the prothonotary. Yet the Sheriff cannot be passed by in the direction of process without cause, as he is the proper officer to execute writs, except in case of partiality. Yet if process be directed to the coroner without cause, it is not void. He cannot dispute the authority of the court, but must execute it at his peril, and the misdirection is aided by the statutes of amendment. 11 Serg. & R. 303.

Motor yachts
Charter of a motor yacht will enable you to visit most of the coast in a relatively short period of time; it will also provide you with "in house" feeling as all boats are equipped to the maximum comfort of its guests.
These boats are also usually equipped with water 'toys', for your entertainment. Kayaks, windsurfers, water-ski, jet skis, and dive equipment, to name a few, are not uncommon. The largest super yachts may also accommodate a helicopter pad, submarine bay, gyms and cinemas. Every charter boat has its own speed boat (tender) to take guests water skiing, ferry passengers ashore to the beach during the day or to dine out at night.

THE LISZT CONCERTOS / Barenboim, Boulez 4779521
. . . performances scrubbed free of all cliché and convention. Old music now glows with brilliant new colors.
. . . two sharply opposed views of Liszt's piano concertos, both fitting tributes to the anniversary celebrations . . . blessed with an awe-inspiring partnership with Boulez, Barenboim reaches out to a symphonic grandeur and musical range undreamt of by lesser musicians. Time and again he shines a wholly personal light on music . . . Seizing every opportunity for rhetorical grandeur as well as glitter, he makes Liszt's musical possibilities stretch far into the horizon; and the same is true of his two encores. He sings his heart out in the D flat Consolation (that glowing cantabile, that seamless legato), a marvel of poetic confidentiality . . . Here again you sense an artist for whom there are no short cuts in that always perilous and elusive journey to musical truth . . . finely recorded . . . indispensable to Lisztians . . . for the voltage of Barenboim's imaginative vision . . .
He brings a highly individual perspective to these two concertos that is, by today's standards, intriguingly contrarian . . . what's brought out here is the Liszt who admired Beethoven above all other composers. Barenboim's craggy power and introspective streak suit the Second Concerto's loftier manner and more integrated design . . . what impresses is the strong sense of just how ground-breaking and exploratory these two works must have sounded in their time. The Berlin Staatskapelle responds with playing of lustrous breadth to Boulez's ultra-efficient direction. Barenboim's way with the two solos encores searches out their lyrical heart memorably . . .
. . . [Die lyrischen Episoden weiß Barenboim] mit einer Anschlagskultur zu vermitteln, die ihresgleichen sucht. Barenboims Legato ist eine Klasse für sich, insbesondere der langsame Satz des zweiten Konzertes gerät zum Sirenengesang mit betörenden Momenten . . . [die] "Consolation" Nr. 3 ist in ihrer klanglichen Feinnuancierung kaum besser denkbar.

How to have a better relationship with your kids
Parenting is one of the hardest challenges in life, and there's a lot that can go wrong if you aren't prepared. The job of being a parent is one that never really ends, and it's important to work on your relationship with your kids at every stage of life.
It's important to remember that, as a parent, you have a great effect on your children's lives, from the name you give them to the examples you set in your own relationships. If you fall into toxic habits or neglect to put in a certain kind of effort, you may find yourself with a damaged relationship or even a large rift that's beyond repair. Here are some tips to ensure a healthy, strong, lifelong bond with your children, no matter their age.istockphoto.com
Show an interest in their interests
Pay attention to what your child is up to outside of their relationship with you. Not only is it important to know what kind of media your child is consuming or what activities they're taking part in when your child is young, but at any age, it can be the key to connecting with them. Check out whatever your child is passionate about, and not only will you be showing an interest in their life, but it'll also be a way for them to feel more connected to you.istockphoto.com
Don't give unsolicited opinions
Keeping your opinions to yourself can go a long way in maintaining harmony with your children. Unless they're quite young and in need of guidance, trust that your kids can make decisions for themselves in their personal lives. The older your child gets, the less in need they are of your advice when it comes to personal decisions unless you feel they are immediately in danger.istockphoto.com
Give them space
Everyone needs alone time. Give your kids the room to do stuff on their own or with their friends, and if they're out of the house, don't constantly bombard them with phone calls or guilt trips about visiting. If your child is ever upset, you should also give them space to cool off and think about things for themselves.istockphoto.com
Validate their feelings
All feelings are valid, and validation itself is extremely important in any relationship. You may want to encourage your kids when they're filled with self-doubt or clear up any miscommunications, but it's important to make sure you're not dismissing or minimizing their feelings, whether or not they even have anything to do with you specifically.istockphoto.com
Accept their partner
Unless you're worried about abuse or any other type of danger to them, you should always accept your child's partner and try to work on your own relationship with them. This is someone whom your child loves and who loves them - something you already have in common.istockphoto.com
Keep your promises
It's important for children of any age to know that they can rely on their parents. Keep any promises you make, and if for some reason you are forced to not follow through or show up on something, make sure you explain why and apologize with a promise to make it up to them.istockphoto.com
Stay honest
Not only is it vital for parents to be reliable in terms of promises, but your kids should know that they can always rely on your word itself. Trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship, and if your children find that you are lying to them, it can damage your relationship quite irreparably and leave them feeling betrayed. Of course, that doesn't include the white lies it's OK to tell your kids when the need arises.istockphoto.com
Encourage their dreams
Whatever dreams, hopes or resolutions your child may have, make sure they know that you have full faith in them. A child's confidence is first instilled in them by their parents, and at any age, we seek out our parents' approval and support. Without you, it'll be harder for your children to achieve whatever they want to.istockphoto.com
Don't be punitive
While it is important to guide and encourage your children, you want to make sure that you don't do it in a way that's demoralizing or even causes them to resent you. There are ways to discipline your children - or draw boundaries once they're older - that don't include threats, hurtful words or emotional blackmail.istockphoto.com
Be there when they need you
Another way of ensuring that your children see you as a reliable parent is to make sure you come through when they're in need. Whether it's in a physical manner such as helping bail them out of a sticky situation or in an emotional way such as being a shoulder to cry on when they're going through something rough, you also want to make sure that you're there for your kids without ever letting them feel ashamed or guilty. This ensures that they will turn to you in the future as well.istockphoto.com
Respect their boundaries
Just as it's important to create boundaries in relationships with your friends and colleagues, boundaries are vital to familial relationships as well. If your child is busy, needs some space from you or has certain rules of engagement, prove that you respect them by respecting those boundaries. You'll find that when you show them this courtesy, your children are more comfortable around you and more willing to nurture an even deeper relationship.Shutterstock
Have some one-on-one time
Spending some quality one-on-one time is a great way to strengthen any bond. Take some time to get to know your child and do something fun without any siblings or even their other parent present. This will help emphasize your own special relationship with them and give you the chance to bond with each other apart from others.istockphoto.com
Don't burden them emotionally
It's important to be honest about feelings, and even with young children, you should let them know if you're having a bad day so that they don't assume that they did anything wrong and take the blame themselves. However, it's not a good idea to go into details and burden your children with your own emotional issues. Even as adults, while it's OK to confide in your children every once in a while, they shouldn't feel responsible for taking care of you the way you are of them.istockphoto.com
Don't pass off your responsibilities to them
Another example of parentification, or the role reversal in a child-parent relationship in which the former feels obliged to act as the latter, is when children are put into the caregiving roles like running larger errands, managing the household, or even taking on the responsibility of taking care of their siblings outside of occasional babysitting and normal sibling relationship dynamics. Not only can this cause undue stress for your children, but it is also damaging to your relationship, as it will skew the dynamic as well as possibly cause resentment.istockphoto.com
Learn to apologize
Saying you're sorry can be very hard, especially if it's to someone over whom you see yourself as having authority. However, owning up to your own mistakes and acknowledging that you're only human can go a long way in earning your children's respect, as well as nurturing a relationship in which they know that you will put them before your own ego.istockphoto.com
Be forgiving
Your children will make mistakes too. Forgiveness is important in order to heal and move on, rather than allowing a rift to grow between you. By being a kinder person and forgiving your children for their transgressions, you will strengthen your relationship and prove to your children that you truly will always be there for them.istockphoto.com
Show affection
Many parents don't find physical affection to be particularly important, perhaps because their own parents didn't emphasize it either. However, hugs and kisses not only make people feel good and induce happiness hormones, but they help you bond with each other more too.istockphoto.com
Tell them you love them
Sometimes it is necessary to be explicit about your feelings too. Tell your kids that you love them, and let them hear from you specifically how much you appreciate and respect them.Shutterstock
Be their champion
While it's important to hold your children accountable when they do mess up, it's also important to show that you trust them and have faith in them. If others are criticizing your children, don't just stand by without sticking up for them. If your child has done wrong, it's OK to acknowledge that and encourage them to apologize, but you shouldn't be the one to lead the mob. If your child has not done wrong and tells you so, believe them instead of taking others' word for it without solid proof. Doing otherwise can cause them to feel betrayed or worry that you are siding with others over them.istockphoto.com
Laugh with them
Laughter truly is the best medicine and can heal many a rift or wound. Even if your relationship with your kid is pretty great, checking out a funny movie, show or standup together is a great idea for a bonding experience. Sharing jokes or laughing together over memories or even current affairs can go a long way for not only helping your children feel at ease around you, but it's also great for your health.

This always happens. I make a plan, it looks nice and neat, then I get to actually write the book and realise that Harry can't possibly do all that in just one chapter. So what I thought were going to be two chapters have now become four. I still don't think the book will be as long as 'Phoenix', but if that keeps happening... no, it won't. I'm looking at the plan, and it can't. Surely. Please. Discuss
I think that this might mean that this book will be as long a Pheniox! I wish it was longer than an unabrdiged dictionary of all languages including slang words (LOL). Chris Chaud 21:23, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
- In the past, I'd heard that JK Rowling said that book 7 will be as long as Encyclopedia Britannica, and at other times, simply just "very long." I don't see how it could be shorter than OotP.
last word
- Er...isn't the last word supposively Scar, not Potter?
- True, that should be fixed
- According to Mugglenet on July 6, 2007: Scar is no longer the last word. It was for a while, but has since changed.
- Yeah, the last word was "well" from the sentence "All was well".
I think (I feel) that 'the prophecy' has long been fulfilled...
Voldemort was 'vanquished' years ago, on the night when Harry got that'scar'...
...but neither can still live, when the other 'survives'...
name of the book
i understand the name was given on JKR's site, but since i missed it, does anyone know if the flash game is still available somewhere? I'd very much like to see it with my own eyes... :D -- 188.8.131.52 12:23, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Time of release
I just wanted to clarify an edit I just made. The statement was that the release would be one minute after midnight local time for locations in the United States, and one minute after midnight BST in the UK "and other English-speaking countries". I work at a book store here in Canada, and I can say for certain that we're also observing the "local time" release. For example, folks in my previous home of Prince Edward Island will have access to the book a full 3 hours before our store is allowed to sell it here in Alberta. - 184.108.40.206 20:21, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
While I am not personally bothered if I find out key information about this final book before I get the chance to read it, and I don't have an objection to "spoilers" being contained in articles if they're well-labelled, I think that until the book is actually released, we should leave out any information that comes from "leaked" copies, since these are unverifiable and unreliable. Faked images claiming to be scans from "leaked" copies have surfaced, and I think that between now and Saturday, any spoilers from "leaked" copies should be deleted immediately. Verifiable (or mostly verifiable) spoilers, such as the translator who revealed the identity of R.A.B., are acceptable. Unconfirmed twaddle is not. - UglinessMan 05:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
House elf on cover
I just removed a bit of trivia stating that there is a house elf on the cover of the British children's edition holding Gryffindor's sword. I removed this for two reasons. First of all, I'm not convinced it's Gryffindor's sword. I have a poster which is a blow-up of the cover (we got a few dozen of these at the book store where I work), and it looks like a dagger of some sort, but it appears much too small to be the sword, and doesn't have any identifying markings which would indicate that it is indeed that specific artifact. Second, there are several objects on this cover that might be cause for speculation, such as two pieces of what appears to be a suit of armor, but without further information, simply mentioning these objects seems pointless. In fact, all of the covers which have been released could be the subject of discussion and speculation, but nothing encyclopedic. A trivia section is fairly worthless when it only contains one piece of information which may or may not be accurate. If this is to be restored, I humbly request that 1) there be some sort of citation or information provided to support the idea that it's Gryffindor's sword (aside from the fact that it looks like a long pointy thing), and 2) that other relevant trivia items be added, making it an actual trivia section rather than a single tidbit. - UglinessMan 07:26, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
*Spoiler Warning* Here are some points that I feel are important to add to this section. There are only two things that the knife/sword on the cover could be.
- 1) Bellatrix Lestrange's Dagger.
- 2) Gryffindor's Sword.
The art on the book matches the description of Gryffindor's Sword, even tho it is quite small. Remember this is a kids cover, and the art is supposed to be for kids.
Which House Elf is it? There are only two named house elves of significance.
- 1) Dobby
- 2) Kreacher
If it is Dobby, then the dagger could be Bellatrix', as it is used to kill him. If the dagger is in fact Gryffindor's Sword then neither House Elf really comes into contact with it. Could it in fact be, not a house elf, but a goblin? The goblin Griphook aids Harry in his assault on Gringotts in exchange for the goblin made Sword of Gryffindor. Harry intents do trick Griphook, but is double-crossed by the goblin who steals the sword. The surrounding stuff on the cover, the coins and various shinies, seem also to indicate that this is infact the point when Harry and friends break into Gringotts. This lends more weight to the theory that Griphook is the unknown creature on Harry's back on the cover.
The only combinations that really work are:
- 1) Dobby and Bellatrix' Dagger
- 2) Griphook and Gryffindor's Sword
Thoughts? --Majushi 11:59, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
If you read the chapter in question, it is quite obvious that choice #2 is the correct one (it is Griphook the goblin, who is holding the Gryffindor sword). Yes, the sword appears small, but that was what Griphook made out with as they spilled out of the vault, which was a major plot point. --Dlsimon 05:31, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Spoilers 2
These are confirmed copies from a stolen book from an unnamed internet community I belong to. They are absolutely reliable, for they are pictures and there is absolutely no person in the world capable of photoshopping 770 pages.
They are absolutely real, if they came from the right place. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs) 17:58, 17 July 2007.
- I don't know if I've ever seen such a complete piece of rubbish. It's almost too easy to pick apart every part of your assertion.
- These are confirmed copies from a stolen book
- Confirmed by who? By what source? Saying the word "confirmed" does not make for confirmation. This is an online encyclopedia, not a gossip club.
- from an unnamed internet community I belong to.
- As long as it remains unnamed, then it is a completely meaningless claim. Anyone could come here and add nonsense, and claim "it's from some community I belong to which I can't tell you the name of but I promise it's true!"
- They are absolutely reliable, for they are pictures and there is absolutely no person in the world capable of photoshopping 770 pages.
- Nonsense. First of all, there are countless people out there with twisted imaginations and lots of time on their hands. Second, the assertion is not that they are "photoshopped" (manipulated), but simply that there is no proof yet that the "leaked" copy is genuine. Someone wouldn't have to manipulated images, it's possible that someone obtained a fanfic, used a publishing program to give the same layout as the previous books, then printed it out and bound it to look like a book.
- They are absolutely real, if they came from the right place.
- And what would that "right place" be? Making an unsourced unreliable claim to support an unsourced unreliable claim is circular logic. It proves nothing, it means nothing. I work at a book store, I could claim that we got our copies early, and I have one right beside me, then proceed to give details about the storyline. And you would have no way to prove me wrong. And you wouldn't have to, either, because the onus would not be on you to prove a negative, the onus would be on me to prove my claim with something more than another claim.
- In summary, an unsourced unreliable claim cannot be proven by another unsourced unreliable claim, especially coming from someone using an anonymous IP and providing no details whatsoever. - UglinessMan 18:40, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
where can i stichk this spoiler?
Dumbledore is rumoured to survive, meaning that Snape is on his side and that Malfoy is being led into a trap!!!!!!
-*spoiler alert*He dies, but Snape killing him was planned, because one can only obtain the Elder Wand by killing the person who possesses it. Dumbledore knew he would not live much longer due to age, so he thought snape deserved it. Also Snape is on DumbleDore's side. Read the last book thoroughly ;) -Chicken Lord/Darth Poultrus/BrickLand Admin 00:06, September 12, 2009 (UTC)
--Minor detail: one can only obtain the Elder Wand by *besting* (not necessarily killing) the person who possesses it. --Napoleon 9th 07:06, March 31, 2011 (UTC)
—True. But Dumbledore did not necessarily know that and his plan did not work as he wanted anyway. It was Draco that disarmed him. Dumbledore did not know a couple of stuff about the Deathly Hallows like for example he didn't know that the Stone of Resurrection could only restore the souls of the people but will not truly bring them to life and could not bring their bodies back.
Dennis Creevy
Why is Dennis Creevy listed as a killed? Having just read the book I have no recollection of reading about his death anywhere. Colin's body was found, as stated in his article, but there is no mention of Dennis anywhere in the book. Alive or Dead. --Majushi 21:53, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- I took Dennis Creevey off of the people killed list on the page. --Sonic80 18:37, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
"Harry's Horcurx"
Here, it is explained he cannot be killed by Voldemort whilst Voldemort lives, since he used Harry's blood to recreate his body, and Lily's protection binds the two.
hmm, would this mean that Voldemort was something like Harry's horcrux and nobody would have been able to kill Harry while Voldemort lived? or was just Voldemort unable to kill Harry.
Neville Longbottom and Gryffindor's Sword
OK, I'm dense, but could someone please explain how Neville Longbottom ends up with Gryffindor's Sword to kill Nagini?
- Basically, as Dumbledore says in Chamber of Secrets, only a true Gryffindor can pull the sword from the Sorting Hat. Harry did it in the Chamber, regardless of the sword's location in Dumbledore's office. Neville, having shown that he is a true Gryffindor through various brave and selfless acts in the previous years, was able to pull the sword from the hat regardless of the fact that it was in Griphook's possession at the time. - Cavalier One 07:04, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you. That seems a little obscure. I would have thought the point would have been made clear in the immediate text. As it stands it looks pretty much like deux ex machina. Bill Willis 12:10, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- It's all to do with mirroring - Harry gets the sword in Chamber of Secrets and kills a snake - the Basilisk. Neville gets it in Deathly Hallows to kill Nagini, another snake. Its a symbol for the Gryffindor victory over the symbol of Slytherin. She set it up years before, just like the dragon rumour at Gringotts that allows them to escape. - Cavalier One 12:14, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
After Deathly Hallows facts
J.K.Rowling has already given a bit of information that was noti included in the novel about what happened to the characters after the book ended. Should this information be included in a part of this page or on another page. I know it is on the character's pages that it pretains to, but what if you do not know everything that has been given and you want to know what else we know about the characters? Just a thought. I could easily have it's own little place on the Deathly Hallows page, or if there ends up to be too much we can give it it's own page. I vie more for a spot of the Deathly Hallows page though. I suggest this because I was trying to find out more about the characters after the book but didn't know what all had been said and about who to find it. If I am just blind and/or stupid and it does have a spot already it wouldn't be the first time I did something like that. --188.8.131.52 01:28, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- I don't really think the place should be on the Deathly Hallows page - its for the book. I think it might be appropriate to make a page containing a summary of facts released during her subsequent interviews. Is there any fact in particular you felt didn't have a home in a character (or other) article? -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 02:19, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- It wasn't just any fact it was all the facts. I was just making a suggestion of putting them on this page, but if you think it would be better on a seperate page of its own. That is cool. (oh, if the user thing isn't the same, this is 18.104.22.168) --18.104.22.168 01:54, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

- So, I noticed a little while ago a timeline page of what occures between 1998 and 2017, but that just has dates pretty much. Is there a page that has the events that occure after the book, and if there isn't one maybe we should make it. It has been discussed. Oh, and I now have a login:) PS: If no one objects to the creation of this page then I will begin the preperations. --Meraculas 21:41, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, I have a mini makeshift draft of what the page could be with the information I could find, posted on my talk page. Check it out to see if it might be alright and feel free to add to it as more info comes. If anyone thinks it would make a good article then by all means post it. Just put a link on the talk page and I will remove the stuff I have on it, or remove the info and replace it with the link.--Meraculas 21:20, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Secret Keeper of Shell Cottage
If Bill was the secret keeper of Shell Cottage then why was Ron able to tell Dobby where to take everyone when they were trapped in the Malfoy's basement?
- From closer reading of the text, it seems that the Fidelius Charm wasn't cast on Shell Cottage under after Harry and co's arrival. Bill makes mention that it's because the Death Eaters know Ron was with Harry, and they could only have known that from the events at Malfoy Manor. The Charm was probably was cast as a result of Harry's arrival, not before it. We just didn't see it. - Cavalier One 12:25, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

It won't be an R (15). The story is for children. 188.8.131.52 22:21, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

HUGE inconsistency
I have found a huge flaw in the literature.. In the beginning of Deathly Hallows, when Hermoine is explaining to Harry the sacrifices she made, she explains that she wiped her parents memories clean and made them think they had no daughter, as well as instilling the desire to move to Australia. Later, however, in the cafe after Bill and Fleur's wedding, she says she's never performed a memory charm, but understands the general theory of it, and performs one upon the Death Eaters and the Muggle waitress.. Inconsistency??
- Nope, they're two different charms. The charm Hermione used on her parents altered their memories, while a Memory Charm removes them. --Cubs Fan2007 (Talk) 07:16, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Canadian adult paperback edition
We're not really supposed to include "original research", so I'll just note here that the statement I added a few weeks ago regarding the lack of an adult paperback Canadian edition of Deathly Hallows, and the fact there is no immediate plan to bring one out, came to me through direct correspondence with Raincoast's marketing department. (I ended up ordering a copy from the UK so I'd have the complete set). Someone should add detail regarding the US edition and whether a similar disconnect between the adult and children's paperback editions has occurred. 23skidoo 23:24, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

How come this article has no "Errors" or "Behind the Scenes" section to it?

Locket Horcrux and All the Misery It Caused
Is there any reason given for why Harry insisted on wearing the locket, "resting on his chest next to" his conveniently located and extremely secure mokeskin pouch, rather than INSIDE the pouch, where he might have been protected from its unpleasant influence by the obviously powerful magic that makes the pouch so secure? EmmyG 00:42, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
Mistake in the book
Hello. I wanted to bring attention to a mistake that JK. Rowling herself has made. Few chapters into the book, Hermione explains that she has obliviated her parent's memories. Later on however, in the cafe after Dolohov and Rowle have been defeated and Harry suggests that Hermione erase their memories, she says that she has neer done the spell before. Anyone else notice this? --Unicorn Blood 15:53, February 18, 2011 (UTC)
- Actually if you look at the Memory Charm article in the BTS section, Rowling addresses this, as the charm she used on her parents was not the same as the charm she used on the Death Eaters. The charm she used on her parents was the False Memory Charm, where he parents memories weren't "wiped" but "altered", the Memory Charm wipes the memories of the person. --BachLynn(Accio!) 16:24, February 18, 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, wow, quite understandable. Thanks. :) --Unicorn Blood 17:30, February 18, 2011 (UTC)
- —Also the "Obliviate" spell is rather permanent. No legilimency or anything else can reverse or penetrate it. Think of the memory like words written with a pencil and obliviate as an eraser. That's the opposite of the memory charm where some skilled legilimency can penetrate it and is reversable. --Firefox1095 22:26, March 31, 2011 (UTC)
- Except that the term 'Memory Charm' is a generic one, not the name of a specific spell like "Obliviate". Note how Rowling used Memory Charm in both singular and plural forms when she had Gilderoy Lockhart introduce them in chapter 16 of Chamber of Secrets. So it wouldn't matter what the specific spell was that Hermione used on her parents, it would still be a Memory Charm, just not the "Oblivate" spell. So Hermione's statement in chapter 9 of Deathly Hallows is still a continuity error, and Rowling's "False Memory Charm" is just a poor attempt at covering herself.

The Prince's Tale mistake
In the Chapter the Prince's tale it features Snape talking to Dumbledore's portrait in the Headmasters office talking about confunding Mudungus and giving the right dates of Harry's departure. He also tells Snape to protect the students from the Carrows. However this happens before the ministry falls and Death Eaters take control of Hogwarts. How can Snape be at Hogwarts talking to Dumbledore when he is seen as an criminal at the time and how would Dumbledore know specifically that the Carrows would be the Death Eaters posted at Hogwarts? Am I right about all this and should this be mentioned in the article. Oni Dark Link 22:47, July 10, 2011 (UTC)
You're absolutely right, and should definitely put it up. You should also add that, just like Dolores Umbridge in OotP, Snape being appointed headmaster by the Ministry Of Magic was illegal because they didn't have the authority to do it. That authority lies with the Hogwarts board of governors, as established through Lucius Malfoy in chapter 14 of CoS.W. Browncoat 18:01, July 16, 2011 (UTC)
There is one point I disagree. Okay, in the time before the fall of the Ministry, it was illegal that the Ministry appoints the new headmaster. But laws can change when the politicians - here the Minister - changes, so under the new circumstances it could be legal that Snape is the new headmaster.
When Umbridge was appointed Headmistress, the office refused to open to her, but it doesn't refuse to open to Snape. O. k., it could be that Dumbledore has hexed his bureau, but perhaps the bureau only follows the laws of the Ministry and when this does something illegal, the bureau refuses to open.
The other points are very good. That I think, too. Harry granger 20:05, July 16, 2011 (UTC)
Except the only difference between the events of Order of the Phoenix and Deathly Hallows is the names of the characters involved. Instead of Cornelius Fudge changing the law and appointing Dolores Umbridge, it's Pius Thickness changing the law and appointing Severus Snape. Six of one, half dozen of the other. So the results should have been the same - a sealed office.
But that's DH all over: Take the plot from OotP, change the names and other superficial details, add lots of continuity errors, and call it a new book. If Rowling had done it with a book written by anyone but herself, they'd call it plagiarism.W. Browncoat 18:08, July 27, 2011 (UTC)
Errors Surrounding the "Deathly Hallows"
Since we've been discussing some of the other continuity errors in DH, I thought I should bring up those concerning the "Deathly Hallows" themselves.
The Elder Wand doesn't make a wizard unbeatable in battle. If it did, then Dumbledore couldn't have "won" it by defeating Grindelwald in a duel (ritual battle), because he would never have been able to defeat him!
The Ressurrection Stone does not bring back the dead. All it does is put images of them into the holder's mind, as stated by the Sirius-image as Harry was on his way to commiting Voldemort-assisted suicide. But more importantly, the stone had been BROKEN by Dumbledore prior to the start of HBP. If you have to damage a Horcrux "beyond all magical repair", in other words - destroy it, then it shouldn't have done anything.
Finally, identifying Harry's Invisibility Cloak as the fabled Cloak of Invisibility is based on Ron's false assertion that Harry was never caught while wearing it. Actually, he was spotted wearing it no less than four times in the earlier books. Once fighting Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle outside the Shrieking Shack in PoA. Twice by Mad-Eye Moody's magical eye in GoF: first in Hogsmeade, and the second time after leaving the prefect's bathroom. Lastly, Malfoy glimpsed Harry's shoe as he snuck into the Slytherins' compartment aboard the Hogwarts Express in HBP. And by the way, the Marauder's Map can see through the Cloak too (PoA, GoF)!
W. Browncoat 20:46, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
- I think you've missed the point about the Elder Wand. The Elder Wand was not an 'unbeatable' wand; it was just a magically powerful wand that changes allegiance as easily as no other wand. Being unbeatable goes against all the Master of Death thing; the acceptance of the inevitability of death. In fact the characters that claim that the wand in unbeatable forget its bloody history: starting with Antioch Peverell, almost all (if not all, except for Gregorovitch, Grindelwald, Dumbledore, Draco and Harry) its masters died whilst with the wand; the ones who did not were defeated in battle. As for the Resurrection Stone, what Dumbledore did was destroy the ring beyond all magical repair. The stone was only left with a crack. As for the Cloak, that's what it is, a cloak. If Harry bumps into someone, or shows part of his foot or anything, people will be able to see it. The cloak hides from sight, not from movement or sense. Rowling herself says that the cloak is an old family heirloom, and given the description of how normal cloaks turn opaque or wear off in Deathly Hallows and given the uniqueness of a cloak like Harry's, it must be a Hallow. As for Moody's eye, and the Marauder's Map, I repeat, the cloak hides from sight. It does not hide from other magical means of detecting persons. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 21:27, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
- Ah, yes: the wand-ownership thing. Unfortunately, "wandlore" is completely bogus. Every instance under which DH claims a wand will "change owners": a wizard losing a fight, having their wand yanked from their hand, being hit with the Expelliarmus charm, or having it stolen all happened to Harry at least once in the other books, with no apparent effect on his ability to use his wand. Plus, Harry WAS NOT the "owner" of this so-called "Elder Wand" during the battle at Hogwarts despite his "wandlore" claim. Voldemort was! Rowling not only wrote that the wand was "ready to serve a new master at last" when she had Voldemort steal it from Dumbledore's tomb, but had it show its acceptance of Tom's "ownership" THE EXACT SAME WAY the phoenix-feather wand showed its acceptance of Harry's the first time he picked it up in Ollivander's shop back in SS!
- Actually, the black stone being cracked was the ONLY damage to Marvolo Gaunt's ring discribed in HBP. Otherwise it seems to have been perfectly intact and wearable, as Dumbledore wore it when he picked up Harry at the Dursleys in chapter 3.
- In reference to Mad-Eye's magical eye, I'll quote the false Mad-Eye chp. 19 of GoF, "Yeah, it can see through Invisibility Cloaks". So, it didn't block Harry from his sight. Also, despite Dumbledore's words, there's no evidence of Harry's cloak doing anything special for him in DH or any of the other books. It certainly didn't seem to work any differently for Snape than it does for Harry when he used it to sneak into the Shrieking Shack in PoA.
- You say that the characters' belief in the Elder Wand came from them ignoring its history. Well, the acceptance of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as a legitimate ending to the series comes from fans ignoring the previous books, assuming they ever read them.220.127.116.11 01:38, August 5, 2011 (UTC)
Elder Wand's allegiance
So, Harry was the master of the Elder Wand because he disarmed Draco, whom disarmed Dumbledore. But when Voldemort killed Harry in the Forbidden Forest with the Elder Wand, shouldn't it be loyal to Voldemort now? Glenohumeral13 (talk) 02:41, July 26, 2014 (UTC)
Cleanup On "Choice of title and symbolism"
Much of the information in this section is poorly researched and grossly inaccurate. The shoddy allusions to Celtic myths as the background of the three hallows in Rowling's book is completely unfounded, and completely fail to adress the notion of symbolism in the subject heading. There are stil numerous themes and archetypes in the book which should be explored and expanded upon, however, and would make for an enriching article. 22.214.171.124 19:12, August 21, 2011 (UTC)Anon.

Choosing the Right Tennis Racquet Infographic
Copy and paste this code to embed "How to Choose the Right Racquet" to your website or blog.
Head Size:
Refers to the actual strung area of the racquet's head, and is usually expressed in square inches. Head size is a determining factor in frame power and stability, as longer strings in a larger racquet head will have a higher "trampoline effect" (which can increase power). A wider head will have a larger "twistweight," and will resist torque on off-center hits. A smaller head size can increase control (all else being equal), but will reduce sweet spot size, power, and torque resistance. There is no industry standard for head size classification, but a common range would be as follows:
Midsize: 85-95 square inches (550-615 square centimeters)
Mid Plus: 96-105 square inches (621-680 square centimeters)
Oversize: 106-118 square inches (686-761 square centimeters)
Super Oversize: 119 square inches and above (767+ square centimeters)
Pre-Strung vs. Performance Frame:
As the name suggests, pre-strung racquets come with string already installed. These racquets tend to have less in the way of cutting-edge technology, but they are also less expensive than the performance or "premium" frames. Pre-strung racquets can be a great option for recreational players or those new to the sport. Premium racquets are ideal for those looking to take their game to the next level. With the best in technology, these racquets are designed to help enhance your game. They do not come with string, so you'll have to choose that with the help of one of our string experts at Tennis Express.
This is the point where a racquet will actually balance on a beam or other instrument, and is not normally in the center of the frame's length. If it is, that racquet is said to be "evenly balanced." Most frames will fall into the other two categories: "head light," with the majority of the weight in the handle, or "head heavy," with the majority of the mass in the head. Balance is most often expressed as "points" head heavy or head light. Normally, heavier racquets will be balanced head light to increase stability in the grip and maneuverability in the head, while lighter ones will tend to be head heavy to provide the necessary momentum on the follow through. Racquet balance can be altered with the placement of weight (usually lead tape) in the desired location, and can drastically affect racquet feel and performance.
Cross Section
Refers to the width of the racquet's beams, and is an indicator of racquet stiffness and power. A racquet with wider beams will tend to flex less than one with more narrow beams (all else being equal), and as such will lose less energy to that flex and transfer more power to the ball. Cross section width is generally measured in millimeters, and is normally termed in the following groups: Control frames will generally have beam widths of 22mm or less, Tweener racquets will usually have beam widths of 23-27mm, and Power frames will tend to have the highest cross sections of 28mm and above.
This is a measure of a racquet's stiffness on a scale of 0-100, though most racquets fall into the 45-75 range. The higher the number, the stiffer the racquet; the lower the number, the more flexible. A flexible racquet absorbs much of the ball's momentum coming into the strings, providing more control and often a more comfortable feel for the player wielding it. As you might imagine, flexible frames are more common in the "Control Racquet" category. Power frames tend to be stiffer and may transmit more vibration to the wrist and forearm, but, as the name suggests, they produce more natural pop on their groundstrokes, volleys, and serves.
Final Notes
These are only generalized guidelines and not all frames will match every characteristic of its category. This helpful guide should not be considered a substitute for personal experience. We do highly recommend taking advantage of our demo program to help find the perfect fit for your game.

You know things are bad when your coach says of your testicle injury, "I've never seen anything like it."
Or when a newspaper runs a headline like this:
Getafe defender Alexis had to be stretchered off during yesterday's Copa Del Ray loss to Barcelona, but no one knew quite what the injury was. At today's press conference, coach Luis Garcia graphically explained:
"Alexis has a testicle like this," he told reporters while gesturing the size of a handball with his hands.
"Some veins were broken. It's nothing serious. When I entered the changing room, I was scared, but it's not serious.
"I've never seen anything like it."
Alexis's grapefruit is reportedly back to a kumquat and he should be good to go for Getafe's next match on Sunday. Ball don't lie.

It's flu season. Time to either protect yourself from getting sick, or, if you are already sick, prevent your illness from spreading to others. Hence, sickness masks.
But not everyone who wears sickness masks are, well, sick! Sometimes their faces are cold. Sometimes the air is dry. But now, with pollution being recognized as a big problem in China, some folks are wearing masks to filter the air. While the masks might look adorable, pollution isn't cute. At all. Blade Runner- or Silent Hill-esque, but hardly cute.
Via China News and China Explosion, here is a collection of "cute" masks spotted on the streets of Beijing. Cute masks like this aren't exactly new, nor are they the only kind worn (people wear white ones, too!). But whatever their shape or color, the masks are perhaps a reminder of how worried some people are about the air quality.

Kay prepares to start as Legaux undergoes more tests on knee
Bearcats starter badly injured in loss at Illinois
Quarterback Munchie Legaux had more tests on his injured left knee on Monday while Brendon Kay prepared to take over the starting job for Cincinnati.
Legaux hurt the knee during the fourth quarter of a 45-17 loss at Illinois on Saturday. His left leg bending awkwardly on a hit as he tried to pass. He was taken from the game to a hospital in Urbana, Ill., and was transferred to a hospital in Cincinnati on Sunday.
Coach Tommy Tuberville said he was getting an update on Monday to determine the severity of the injury, which has forced the Bearcats to reconfigure the depth chart at quarterback.
"We'll just see what transpires with the week," Tuberville said.
Kay will take over at quarterback when the Bearcats (1-1) host Northwestern State on Saturday night. The sixth-year senior was the incumbent before he developed a sore shoulder during camp, limiting his practice and giving Legaux a chance to reclaim the starting job.
Legaux threw for a touchdown and ran for another during a 42-7 opening win over Purdue. Tuberville decided to start him over Kay, who was still limited by the shoulder problem.
Tuberville said on Monday that Kay should be able to do everything necessary to get ready for Saturday's game. The Bearcats have a bye on Sept. 28 that will provide an extra week for him to rest the shoulder.
"Last week was the first time he went the entire week (in practice)," Tuberville said. "I'd say going into last week's game he was 95 to 100 percent. Yesterday we had a short practice and he threw with some of our younger quarterbacks. He looked fine and ready to go.
"So it'll be a concern as we go, but our schedule sets up pretty good."
Kay made it into the opener at Purdue and played the final quarter, although the Bearcats had a big lead and were essentially running out the clock. He took over after Legaux was hurt at Illinois and came through it without a problem.
"He's played 40 plays in first two games, didn't get hit that much, so he's ready to go," Tuberville said. "He's fired up and excited about getting back to the starting position."
If Kay has problems, the Bearcats are in trouble. The No. 3 quarterback is redshirt freshman Bennie Coney.
