Attractive Students and Attracted Professors
In 2005 Michal Gee an instuctor at Boston University posted on a blog his sexual ideation/fantasies concerning a current female student who he felt to be extraordinarily beautiful/attractive. As a result of this posting he was terminated by Boston University. Said posting was removed from the blog but was republished in another blog which went into some detail concerning the firing of Michael Gee. Eventually the Washington Post reported on this story- "Don't Blog So Close to Me" by Robert McMillan, July 15, 2005; excerpts follow-
"Gee, a 17-year-veteran of the Boston Herald who left the paper in the spring, was fired this month from a part-time journalism school position at Boston University after sharing inappropriate thoughts about a student on a blog.
"'Of my six students, one (the smartest, wouldn't you know it?) is incredibly hot,'" Gee wrote, according to the Associated Press reported . "Gee was fired July 13, according to Bob Zelnick, chairman of BU's journalism department. Zelnick said the posting violated the trust essential to the student-teacher relationship. Students 'have to be confident their work will judged impartially' and not on the basis of their looks, he said."
Gee posted his comments on July 5th on the sportsjournalists.com blog. The blog's administrators later removed Gee's posting. But just because his words are gone doesn't mean they haven't been preserved elsewhere… like right here in this column, and over at Boston Sports Media, where blogger David Scott posted them on July 15 so the rest of us could wonder at them: "Gee, Gone. Again": "Today was my first day teaching course 308/722 at the Boston University Dept. of Jounralis (sic). There are six students, most of whom are probably smarter than me, but they DON'T READ THE PAPER!!! Not the Globe, Times, Herald or Wall Street Journal. I can shame them into reading, I guess, but why are they taking the course if they don't like to read. But I digress. Now here's the nub of my issue. Of my six students, one (the smartest, wouldn't you know it?) is incredibly hot. If you've ever been to Israel, she's got the sloe eyes and bitchin' bod of the true Sabra. It was all I could do to remember the other five students. I sense danger, Will Robinson."
Gee's senses were right on. If only he had heeded them.
Scott asked BU about Gee's remarks on July 12th before writing about them. Here's his commentary: "What on earth was Gee thinking, when he made these inappropriate comments? Further, what editor would hire a guy who publicly admits to drooling over his student? Even more perplexing was Gee's response after at least one SJ poster gave this friendly advice: 'Congrats on the gig and the proximity to a hottie, but be careful. Not with her, but with this site. She or your bosses could Google your name and the university at any point and find this thread. ' Even that lucid warning didn't seem to have an effect on Gee's libido or his proud postings: 'Dear Folks: I suppose I should be flattered that many of you think this gorgeous woman who's half my age would consider having sex with me. Which, if I have any news instincts, she won't. My problem is losing my focus when I meet her to-die-for eyes.'"
Holy mackerel! That's some hot journalism action! And boy, does it spread. Gee's burying the lede instead kicked it into high gear in the blogosphere.
He can probably forget freelance opportunities at Ms. magazine where the comments on his actions are less than complimentary".
The Dankprofessor continues-
Of course, being attracted to ones students is nothing new, publishing them on the web as a blog posting is new! However, blog posting continues as evidenced by a very recent posting in which the posters are not identifiable. One such posting follows-
The dankprofessor believes that professors finding themselves attracted to some of their students is commonplace, attractions which are experienced by both male and female professors, feminist and non-feminist professors. But what is not commonplace is writing about it; talking about it with selected colleagues is probably more frequent; such was my experience. What I hold to be universal in academia is a universal formal exclusion of this topic; nothing in the faculty handbook; no formal workshops dealing with the subject. No guidelines of any sort of how not to be distracted by attractive students; how to avoid differential treatment of attractive students, e.g., how to avoid giving higher grades to attractive students. Such, of course, is not out of the realm of the possible since social psychological research has demonstrated over and over again in a multitude of contexts that the beautiful people are treated more favorably than the non-beautiful. How to avoid such differential treatment in academia? Might the ethical professor and at the same time the very attracted professor recuse himself from grading to avoid biased grading? After all such is what is often mandated for the prof who is dating a student to avoid prejudicial grading, to avoid differential grading based on what is ones psychosexual involvement with a student. Of course, as I have previously pointed out recusing oneself from grading a student based on an ongoing dating relationship is in itself a form of differential treatment. And as I think we can agree the ethically engaged prof who refuses to grade students who he or she finds attractive would not be seen as acting from some high ethical ground but rather from some base exhibitionistic level, a level that would be seen as leading to exclusion from the classroom. So what is an ethical prof to do??
Well, I didn't get it quite right in this blog on attractive students and attracted professors. I cited a blog in which profs write about having attractive students; I indicated that the profs were not identifiable, such was not the case. I went back to that blog and clicked the online identity and at least for some of the entries, this led me to their real world identity. And the quote I had given in my posting was that of a female prof, not a male prof.

Guest commentaries should also be submitted for consideration to the same email address.

In the 'Second War' section it says, She then shouted at him: "You need to mean it, Potter!" However, in the film, its not her who says this, it's Lord Voldemort, right? Lee 20:24, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- The book version of events takes precedent over the films, so we go with Bellatrix saying it. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 22:56, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Why does everyone think Bellatrix knows occlumency? What chapter does it say so of HBP?
- Of course, how else could she teach it to Draco...?-Matoro183 (Talk) 01:44, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
What I meant was where does it say that Draco knows occlumency?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs).
- "Ah...Aunt Bellatrix has been teaching you Occlumency I see..."
- —Severus Snape to Draco Malfoy
Just a question: How does her outfit change in the film adaption of HP5? she was first in her Askaban outfit, then the torn dress seen at the Battle at the Department of Mysteries?
In the 'Early Life' section, can we really say that she showed no outward affection for her husband? I know she never really talked about him, but I don't think that is correct. - Tyminator1 (Talk) 13:09, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
THis is about the outfit change. She could of course brought some clothes then perhaps got in a fight or they're old clothes. Philered WAS HERE! PEACE!
12:38, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
Love her film portrayal. Book was a tiny bit overdone. Film, loved the childish, psychotic nature they gave her. I can see her going out with the Joker. They'd make a great couple. --TheBlackPhoenix100
Are you sure it wasn't the Killing Curse that got her? 220.127.116.11 17:32, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
- It's never stated what spell Molly used to kill her. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 01:37, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
J.K. Rowling can be very weird at what she writes in her novels, huh? 18.104.22.168 02:59, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
If it was not the killing curse, what was it? --Lupin & Kingsley 01:19, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
Wasn't the light green? Waterdrop95 06:13, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
Molly and her were both aiming to kill.--Lupin & Kingsley 23:45, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
Most curses can kill if they are powerful enough or are aimed at certain places (e.g. above the heart). Madam pomfrey mentions to Harry in book five that four (or five i cant remember) stunners to the chest at McGonigalls age should have killed her. So Molly Weasley, the quiet, loving house witch who we all thought could only use magic for cooking and cleaning may well have been a very powerful witch. But with the added effect of her anguish over the death of her son Fred and Bellatrixes taunts may have installed in her enough power to kill Bellatrix with a single well aimed cusre above the heart.
It never actually says that she died. If it wasn't the killing curse she could have survived. We know that McGonagall survived several stunning spells to the chest in ootp.--Eateroftheflame 21:35, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- 1) - It says in the book that "both women were fighting to kill".
- 2) - There is a parallel drawn in the book between Sirius just before he died and Bellatrix.
- 3) - JKR said in this interview that she had always intended that Molly would be the one to "finish off" Bellatrix.
- Nick O'Demus 05:58, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
- Was the curse that killed Bellatrix the same one that killed Sirius?Emperordmb 02:13, January 3, 2012 (UTC)
Birth date
Only the year is known from the family tree. I think the day is fanfiction. --Rodolphus 13:57, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
It's so many mistakes... Bellatrix was born 1951, when her father had 13 years???
what do u mean 13 years? he would hav been 23 or 22 when bellatrix was born. --User:SEATTLE♥WIZARD
- What about the fact that this defies canon? her birthday in 1951, even if it was late '51, would put her out of Hogwarts by the time Sirius began Hogwarts. And in Book 4 Sirius mentions that the Lestranges, a couple in Azkaban, were friends with Snape when Snape attended Hogwarts. This can't work timewise, if Bellatrix would already be out of school, and since the quote is in the book while the family tree is not, the information in the book should be used first, since the book is the series' canon, not the family tree. Her birthday should be fixed to this timeline or omitted due to information conflicting each other. --SilverDrama 11:06, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- J.K Rowling has accepted that this is a mistake of her own. she had acknowledged that maths is not her strong point. ShirleyA(The Quibbler) 11:12, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- Sirius described Snape as "part of a gang of Slytherins who nearly all turned out to be Death Eaters" (GoF27). I interpret this to mean that while Bellatrix and Snape didn't attended Hogwarts together, they ran with some of the same people, like Lucius, who was between them in age. Lucius was in his fifth or sixth year in Snape's first (DH32), and presumably would've been a first year in Bellatrix's third or fourth.
- Also, the Black family tree comes directly from Rowling, and is considered canonical under our canon policy. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 01:25, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
People seem to be repeatedly changing the image in the infobox, so I thought we should actually discuss which is preferable - the promotional shot, or the mugshot? Personally, I prefer the promotional shot for consistency reasons. Those are the ones used in the infoboxes for Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Sirius, etc. The mugshot is a good image, though, so it should appear in the article somewhere else, if possible. Oread 03:51, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- I agree, most of them have the promotional images so I'm for using that and moving the mug shot to somewhere else. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 04:04, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- Per DJ. The promotional shot should be used over the mugshot. The mugshot should be incorporated into the article somewhere else. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 07:17, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Wow, update
They've released a number of photos and such from the trailers and stuff to put in here. We need to get them on here. JediNTT307 21:50, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
The Info box had her wand as Walnut, 12 3/4", dragon heartstring. However at the bottom of both her info page and in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows it states that her wand is Walnut, 10", dragon heartstring, so I have changed it as such. Revan46 20:50, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- No... Her wand is 12 & 3/4", according to DH. I'll change it back. -- Seth Cooper (Owl Post) 20:54, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
The whole point of putting images in articles is to enhance them, not make them look worse by cramming as many as possible into a single page. The article looks ridiculous, and the new main image is hideous. –K.A.J•T•C•E• 18:11, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Voldemort's Right Hand
Judging from the quote on the top of her page, I'd consider her Voldemort's second-in-command. This seems appropriate to note somewhere, despite the fact its not official, I think its a bit obvious. I won't just put it on there, though, just curious if anyone else feels the same. Also, why is it speculation that Bella envied the trust Voldemort had in Snape? If he gave her one of his Horcruxes, I think that means he trusts her just a bit more even if they are both among his top Death Eaters. I just think it would be better to recognize her as a valuable disciple and even Tom's right hand instead of just a phsyco obsessed with him, which she is, but it seems like it dismisses her importance just a little. --Mateo22 19:58, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
- Well, anyone?? --Mateo22 17:33, September 1, 2009 (UTC)
We don't really know Voldermort's true feelings for Bellatrix but among other things we can obviously presume that Voldermort doesn't have much care for her, though the fact she is his most trusted Death Eater.--Intrudgero98 22:16, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
- I'd agree that he did not 'care for her,' as it is made clear that Voldemort is unable to care for anyone, but I would contend that it is VERY unclear that he trusts her more than Snape. I'd say it's a toss-up with no way to truly know, but if I had to decide based on the scant evidence we have, I'd give the nod to Severus. --Stevehim 02:59, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
Always thought Voldy valued Snape the most after he killed Dumbledore. Bellatrix was definately among his top three. If he had survived for the Second Wizarding War, I think that Barty Crouch Jr. would have been his right-hand. I mean, the guy was one of his two most loyal servants, and he helped ressurect him. Voldemort's gotta give high credibility for that. --TheBlackPhoenix1
- Actually, we should considerer her as Dark Lord´s left hand. Bellatrix is a star name wich means "female warrior", belongs to Orion´s constellation and represents his left shoulder. In Greek mythology Orion wanted to hunt all hunts of the world. So it´s clear the analogy between Bellatrix Lestrange and the star, because both are conected with a great slayer.
- The inspiration ,of the genius mind of J.K. Rowling, was probably from Jessica Mitford book´s. Union Valkyrie Mitford has history life similar to Bellatrix. Borned in world wars context she had a deep obsession
- for Adolf Hitler. The most interesting is that they became friends (or more) and was described by Hitler as "a perfect specimen of Aryan Womanhood". So we could also do an anology with Hitler and Voldemort, Aryan with Pure blood and Bellatrix and Union Mitford.
Such Good Images
I understand that there have been disputes about Bella's images. The current one should not be changed, since it's the best quality and most current, but as for the others, doesn't this wikia use image galleries on pages? The images could be moved there and neaten out the page. --Mateo22 20:50, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
Lol.Bellatix's personal gallery--TheAngryEnglishDude 21:47, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not quite sure what you mean by "image galleries on pages", but most pics of Bellatrix should be tagged with the Images of Bellatrix Lestrange category. - 16:42, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, that Images page provided is actually the kind of thing I was looking for: a gallery featuring all available images of the character. What I was talking about was that kind of gallery of images, but placed in a section on the character's page in organized fashion rather than spread all over different paragraphs. Some wikis I work on do that, but others also do what this one does with those images, so nevermind what I suggested. What's being done with character images currently is just fine. --Mateo22 17:35, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
Ah, hello??
Can someone please answer the last two sections I've posted? It's been a while, ya know, and I still haven't gotten a reply. --Mateo22 16:36, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
I responded.--Intrudgero98 22:17, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
The quote on Relationships/Albus Dumbledore should not be included. It is non-canon.--Rodolphus 16:04, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
- "She was a witch, as Harry knew, with prodigious skill and no conscience."
- —Harry Potter on Bellatrix[src]
It took how many years for Harry to realise that Bellatrix is a witch!?22.214.171.124 13:28, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
It means she was very highly skilled witch! [anon]
Read: "She was a witch [...] with prodigious skill and no conscience[, as Harry knew]." 188.8.131.52 11:08, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
Second only to Voldemort among DE
It lists Bella as being "second only to Voldemort among the DE," but I submit that depends on what point in time one is referring to. An argument could be made for Snape to have that role (as well as the argument that Bellatrix did...I'm just saying it is one of them, but unclear which one). I don't know the general rules of the site in terms of Snape's Death Eater classification, and how far it extends, but if he is still considered one for things like that quote, I think it should be edited, since saying Bellatrix is more powerful than Snape is, at best, speculative. --Stevehim 02:59, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
Battle: non canon.
I think that her participation in the battle of the astronomy tower is non-canon.In the book is explicit who death eaters participated at the battle.Pol 871 19:33, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
- No it isn't. The book tells us all the Death Eaters that were at the top of the Tower, but there were more fighting downstairs. For all we know, Bellatrix could be there. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 20:08, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
First Lieutenant
Were Rodulopus and Rebastain lieutenants as well? --Bella Goth 19:18, August 3, 2010 (UTC)Bella Goth
Relationship to Snape
The main reason I feel that she harbors resentment towards Snape is because he is viewed as Voldemort's most devoted. You can see this when the sisters go to visit snape and he tells them that the dark lord has told him about this plan. Bellatrix is jealous that he trusts him and wants to be the most trusted of his servants. 184.108.40.206 07:34, August 31, 2010 (UTC)Reilly121
Bellatrix's "relationships" with Ron and Hermione
Would anyone have a problem with me deleting those subsections? She really didn't have any kind of relationship with either of them -- I would really like to see Bellatrix's relationship section cleaned up, but both Ron and Hermione's bits seem somewhat pointless, since they don't offer many insights aside from "Ron/Hermione found out that Bellatrix did ____________, which was unfortunate" (to paraphrase), and I honestly can't think a whole lot of insight they even could offer. Does anyone have any reasons for these subsections to exist/ anything that can be added to give them real merit...? -- Emmy (★) 20:51, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
- Really the only thing I can think of with Hermione would be that Bellatrix did single her out at the Malfoy's and tortured her, but as far as Ron goes, I can't really think of anything, unless maybe it were changed to her relationship with the weasley family in general.....just some thoughts. --BachLynn(Accio!) 21:50, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
- Molly definitely deserves the most mention of all the Weasley's. I was thinking about the movie version of half-blood prince, how Bellatrix helped burn down the Weasley house, but I can't remember if that was canon or not because in the books it doesn't happen at all. --BachLynn(Accio!) 22:11, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
Middle Name
according to the site Accio Brain, Bella's middle name is "Prosperina"
is this canon, or just fanon?
Fire affinity:
she used incendio and the fiendfyre as well, and the last is a very difficult fire spell. So I think we have to add this topic to her magics and abbilities. User:Domynyk 20:26, January 11, 2011, (UTC)
Black Family Tapestry
Hello, out of curiousity, why is it that on the Black Family tapestry, all the family members are indistinguishable, while Bellatrix looks like herself? Come one movie-makers, put some effort in! -- Unicorn Blood 09:56, February 18, 2011 (UTC)
In the german book Bellatrix says: If I had sons I would be glad to give them ..., not children. Does she speak in the english book from children? Harry granger 19:36, March 25, 2011 (UTC)
I have the American version of Half-Blood Prince, and in Chapter 2, page 35 Bellatrix says if she had sons she would give them to service, but I dont know if the UK version reads children or not. Hope this helps a bit:)Drummerwiz92 03:05, April 19, 2011 (UTC)
- She says "sons" in the Canadian edition, which is identical to the UK edition. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 08:03, April 19, 2011 (UTC)
- I think Rowling chose "sons" to make Bellatrix's speech more poetical, old-timey and aristocratic. I don't think she had any daughters, or they would be featured on the Black family tree (after all, Draco was featured in it). -- Seth Cooper owl post! 18:38, April 19, 2011 (UTC)
- I agree with Seth Cooper. — Firefox1095 — 23:20, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

JKR revealed in an interview that Bellatrix was "madly, romantically in love with Voldemort." When asked if Bellatrix ever had loved Rodolphus, JKR responded, "She took a pureblood husband, because that was what was expected of her, but her true love was always Voldemort."
Of course, there are many couples who deeply love each other but have no children, whether by circumstance or choice, and many children born into loveless relationships or relationships in which the fire has gone out. But I think Bella being in love with someone else pretty much explains why the Lestranges' had no children. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 08:54, April 20, 2011 (UTC)
Bellatrix's Death in DHP2
I've read on here about Molly casting the Avada Kedavra on Bellatrix so powerfully that it tears her to pieces. I was just wondering what the source is on that or if its just someone making stuff up? Thanks in advance...
- I don't know if it is true but i know if it is true then whoever said it is exagrating because Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is rated PG 13 and they never put that kind of gore in PG 13. Look at Saw for example..It has that kind of gore and that's why it is rated M (18 or over) but Harry Potter can't have that kind of gore. Also please remember to click on the Signature button or add "~~~~" without the quotes after anything you type in Talk pages. — Firefox1095 — 04:51, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
- I've got to agree with Firefox that it's unlikely they'd include violence that intense in a PG-13 film. Whatever the case, though, we shouldn't include information about DHP2 in articles unless it's based on statements from the director, actors, etc. or a solid report from a test screening. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 07:51, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
- If something like that DOES make it into the movie, then that raises issues of canonicity, since the Killing Curse doesn't leave any physical marks on the victim's body. - Nick O'Demus 08:08, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
- I think that it'll not tear her to pieces, but maybe will have the same effect of Sectumsempra or something, because, in the book, it's never stated that Molly used Avada Kedavra.
Bellatrix is scared of Harry.
I think the whole HBC-Bellatrix is scared of Harry thing should be removed. It doesn't have cititation, and the timeline is wrong. It says "Seventeen year old boy" but Bellatrix died before Harry defeated Voldemort. That's just my opinion. Whatwouldthewealeytwinsdo? 02:13, May 9, 2011 (UTC)
Yes it needs a few corrections. I dont think she was scared of Harry though. However she is surprised how Harry esaped Voldemort's cluthces several times. Remember, being Lord voldemort's most loyal death eater and being in love with him, she was bound to hate anyone who was against Voldemort.

Bellatrix's Petronum
What was Bellatrix's petronum? Was it ever mentioned? Charmedthree 21:13, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
When you mean the Patronus, Bellatrix doesn't have one. Jo Rowling said: No Death Eater has one. Harry granger 21:41, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
Yes, the Patronus is what I mean. Voldemort doesn't have one too? They're all wizards, no matter good or evil, why don't they have "Patronuses"?Charmedthree 22:30, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
- Samantha: "Was Snape the only death eater who could produce a full patronus?"
- J.K. Rowling: "Yes, because a Patronus is used against things that the Death Eaters generally generate, or fight alongside. They would not need Patronuses."

Wait, what just happened?
Im really confused about her death in the film. i mean, what did molly hit her with to make her shrink? if it was the avada kedavra, then why did she shrink, and crack for that matter? the killing curse leaves no marks. the second spell was pritty obvious, but im at a loss regarding the first one. if anyone could help out, that'd be great.
In my opinion, Molly used Petrificus Totalus on her, because as you can see Bellatrix wasn't able to move, and her hair didn't wave. I mean Bellatrix was petrified by Molly and then Molly used Reductor curse to blow Bella up, I suppose. User:Domynyk 21:49, July 18, 2011, UTC
The whole scene was pretty inaccurate. I wish it had've been more like it was in the books and longer too... I figured she'd been hit by Petrificus Totalus or Duro. It totally didn't do Bellatrix justice though! C.Lestrange 01:44, July 20, 2011 (UTC) C.Lestrange
Thanks a bunch you two. i agree with both of you, the scene did absolutly no justice to bella. im pritty sure it WAS petrificus totalus.......i just cant figure out why........her death in the books was pritty perfect..............
To me, the scene seemed rushed and crammed in before Harry and Voldemort's duel, as if the filmmakers were running out of time. ~Bellatrix Lestrange II~ 17:21, August 15, 2011 (UTC)
Aside from it being a completely naff scene doing justice to neither of the women, it can't be Petrificus Totalus, otherwise wouldn't the Death Eater that Hermione bested in part 1 in the café/Neville in PS have stopped mid-air, cracked and wheezing like this? If PT has any potential to do fatal damge I doubt Hermione'd bandy it about like she did, particularly as the worst she was willing to do to the Death Eater was an Obliviate. PT seems to be a complete stop or "body-bind", this was something else. Duro is stone, and she definately wasn't stone as she was 'shrinking' and not remotely stone-like. For now I'd guess AK but with 'feeling' if that's even possible, or perhaps some kind of completely fabricated compression spell. Seems she was already gone when Molly performed the coup de grace. The reasons for the explosion is anybody's guess, but at least they made it seem intentional on Molly's part. Being honest, perhaps they just wanted it to look 'cool'. The only other villain that got shafted this bad in a finale has to be Saruman. [anon]
It's not Petrificus Totalus. Her body didn't straighten out and seize up like they have shown in previous films. She either used an implosion curse or some sort of powerful dehydrating curse which caused her to shrivel, then blew her up. 126.96.36.199 11:04, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
Duel w. Sirius in the department of mysteries
I've understood that the articles should focus on the books first and the movies secondly, so why does the article read that Bellatrix used Avada Kadavra to kill Sirius (in the biography section) when this only happened in the movie? The events as they played out in the book are instead recorded under
trivia "behind the scenes", as the fifth bullet. Shouldn't it be the other way around with book canon in the biography and movie canon mentioned further down? Aryllia 09:34, July 22, 2011 (UTC
You're right. Of any ADMINS would edit this page, that would be awesome, it needs some cleaning up from random editors.
Vana Bloom 04:09, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
I think it should be based on the book first. I think Bellatrix killed Sirius with a very powerful Stunning spell, not the Killing curse. The Killing curse is always refered to as a jet of green light. In the book version of Order of the Phoenix it says, "Harry saw Sirius duck Bellatrix's jet of RED light" and then it also says "The second jet of light hit him squarely on the chest." I'm guessing that the "second jet of light" is also red. The Stunning spell is always refered to as a red jet of light. The reason Bellatrix was able to kill Sirius with this spell I think is because Sirius wasn't exactly taking the duel as seriously as Bellatrix. It says, "He was laughing at her" and Bellatrix probably got angered by this enough to enhance even a simple Stunning spell to kill Sirius. Let alone the fact that Bellatrix is a very powerful witch and an excellent duelist with the entent on killing Sirius because he was a blood-traitor and disgraced the Black family name. 06:23, November 13, 2011 (UTC)Little Miss Bellatrix Lestrange

Please reply saying the one you think is best for the infobox image for this page, and hopefully a decision can be reached as to a replacement for the current one, which does not deserve to be the infobox image on a page about such a great character!

I don't understand how Bellatrix has "primitive and animilistic tendencies", as it states under the heading "Personality". Someone care to explain for me? :P
She is extremely brutal and violent, which would be considered primitive. User:Violetwing/sig 20:22, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
"Primitive" in regards to those qualities is rather subjective. "Brutal and violent" should be used. Primitive can mean any number of things. Is she painting on the walls of caves? Hunting her own meat and eating it raw? Is she dancing wildly around a campfire? Well, maybe. But you get the picture here. Primitive is an awfully subjective word to use here. 18.104.22.168 10:59, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
^ I completely agree! ~ C.Lestrange
"Teaching Skills"
I don't believe the following really constitutes as 'teaching skills': "Harry Potter also acknowledged that his success on the Cruciatus Curse was from Bellatrix's taunting."
This would suggest that it was Bellatrix's intention to teach Harry how to perform the curse, which is false. I fail to see how this has anything to do with her skills in teaching and this sentence just seems like fluff. Delete? 18.104.22.168 10:55, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

"Slytherin gang" at Hogwarts
I frequently see mentions of how Bellatrix and Severus were part of a Slytherin gang at Hogwarts. However, Bellatrix was born in 1951 and Severus was born in 1960. By the time Severus came to Hogwarts in 1971, Bellatrix would be twenty years old and have graduated already. Can someone add an explanation for this to the article? Is is possible that Bellatrix and other already-graduated Slytherins hung around Hogsmeade (near Hogwarts)? That would make it possible for Severus to have met them during his school years.
UnicornWolf (talk) 19:36, June 19, 2014 (UTC)
I can explain this. The gang lasted for a long time. Bellatrix was one of the early members, but it lasted beyond its founder's departure. Severus joined later.
Exactly; someone in their first year in 1968 (when Bellatrix would have been 17 and in her final year) would have only been in their 3rd year in 1971; certainly able to be "part of the same gang" for both Bellatrix and Snape to hang around with them. --HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 12:06, August 2, 2014 (UTC)
Ambiguously Canon Birthdate
Are we absolutely certain that we can consider her birthdate as canon? I know the date was given by JK Rowling herself, but does it really override information included in Goblet of Fire? I know this has been discussed before, but I don't really see how it works with the wiki's canon policy. Plus I really don't see how Sirius's comment could mean anything other than evidence that both Bellatrix and Rodolphus went to school with Severus. Anyway, maybe we should put it to a vote on whether or not to change it, because I know plenty of others are torn whether Bella and Snape went to school together.You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off! (talk) 07:06, August 2, 2014 (UTC)
Has anyone considered the possibility that Bellatrix may have repeated one or even several years? Just like Marcus Flint.--Rodolphus (talk) 07:20, August 2, 2014 (UTC)
It's never said she went to school with Snape, merely that they hung around with the same gang; some may have been young enough - e.g. starting in 1968 when Bellatrix would have been in her 7th year - to be in their 3rd when Snape came along. --HarryPotterRules1 (talk) 12:04, August 2, 2014 (UTC)
But do you really think that's what Sirius meant when he was describing the gang? I just can't see why Sirius would mention her in regards to the gang when he was specifically talking about who SNAPE hang around with. Mentioning her would be a completely different conversation altogether if she didn't hang around Snape. Furthermore, nowhere in the books does it give Bellatrix a birthdate, though it is implied that she is somewhat older than Snape and Sirius. I just don't really see how the dates on the Black Family Tapestry override book canon. Am I mistaken about the canon policy? You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!

Bellatrix "couldn't" marry Voldemort?
I have removed the following words from the Rodolphus relationship section: "as Bellatrix loved Voldemort, but couldn't marry him as he was a half-blood,and she would have been disowned from the Black Family Tree for marrying him". This is very inaccurate for the following reasons:
- Bellatrix may not have believed that Voldemort was a half-blood.
- Even if she knew of and accepted him being a half-blood, why would her family object to her marrying the Dark Lord, the very person who is trying to fill the world with their extreme pure blood ideals? If anything, her parents would probably be thrilled if she married Voldemort.
- Bellatrix obviously does not care more about family than she does about Voldemort. She appears to love Narcissa and Draco, but happily disowned her sister, Andromeda, and killed her niece, Nymphadora.
- If you would sit in prison for twelve years because you refused to deny your devotion to the Dark Lord, you wouldn't care about your parent's objections to you marrying him.

Anastasia was born in 1979, at the age of ten.She's been around ever since, and she's only thirteen now. I never get tired of writing about her and her family. Katherine Krupnik, her mother, reminds me of myself.
Sam was born when Anastasia was ten, and for a long time he existed only in the books about her. But kids liked him. Maybe he reminded them of their own little brothers. So at the request of young readers, I gave Sam his own series.
Caroline and J.P. Tate are so much like real kids in real families: a bickering sister-and-brother pair, with a long-suffering single mom. They live in New York City, but in one book they spend a summer with their dad in Iowa. In truth, the Tates could exist anywhere.
Mrs. Pidgeon's second grade has one student who is, shall we say, somewhat unusual. New to the school in October, by Thanksgiving she has completely entranced the entire class. And there's a whole school year yet to come
Each of these is an all-by-itself book, not part of a series. They take you from Denmark to West Virginia to Boston, - and many other places - and three of them come from my own life. (See if you can figure out which three!)
It's Future Job Day at Sam's nursery school, and Sam, who has zookeeping aspirations, is thrilled when his teacher says he can tell the other children about a series of zoo animals: "For six weeks he could stand in front of the circle and feel that feeling of being the most interesting person in the room."
A sequel to "The One Hundredth Thing about Caroline" and "Switcharound", the book presents a good case for the danger of mixing lies and love and is just as lively and entertaining as the earlier two.
Eleven-year-old Louise Cunningham watches with wonder as a visit from her unusual uncle gives her ordinary small town a glow of something mysterious and magical.
Tim, Jane, and the twins, Barnaby A and Barnaby B, are four rather ordinary children. They just happen to have extraordinarily horrible parents. And that requires some extraordinary scheming.
A sensitive and moving story of a wide-eyed young girl growing up at the beginning of the twentieth century and the influence of the farm community around her.
When their mother starts to date the mystery man on the fifth floor, who has been instructed by his agent to "eliminate the children" by the first of May, eleven-year-old Caroline and her older brother figure they're targeted to be the victims of a savage crime.
At the age of twelve, Jonas, a young boy from a seemingly utopian, futuristic world, is singled out to receive special training from The Giver, who alone holds the memories of the true joys and pain of life.
Oh, it is so boring to be royalty! And unnerving, too, because in just a few days Princess Patircia Priscilla will turn sixteen, the age at which she must choose her husband-to-be! And all of the contenders are soooo disgusting!

Arguably one of the oldest forms of real estate in Singapore, conservation shophouses are unique landmarks that once defined the architecture of the city-state's colonial past. With their ornate designs and colorful facades, shophouses add a distinctive flavor to Singapore's built environment as iconic testaments of the city-state's rich cultural history.
In this paper, CBRE Research explores Singapore's conservation shophouse market and outline the key reasons that have made shophouses such a compelling investment opportunity – Their limited numbers, role as a part of Singapore's cultural heritage, supportive conservation policies, and attractive real estate attributes. In particular, restored shophouses that possess the winning combination of a good location, long remaining tenures and strong tenant profiles will likely continue to be the most sought after in the market. These factors have underpinned a shift in investor attitudes towards viewing conservation shophouses as assets worthy of long term investment. At the same time, there remains a sizeable number of shophouses with restoration potential, for investors to capitalise on and curate iconic establishments.

- "He wields the Foe-Hammer! The Beater, bright as daylight!"
- —The Great Goblin upon seeing Gandalf's sword, Glamdring
The Great Goblin was a large Goblin leader who lived in the Misty Mountains in Middle-earth during the Third Age. He appears only in The Hobbit.
The Great Goblin was a Goblin chieftain of the Misty Mountains. He was a very large creature with a huge head. He was the chief of a group of goblins who lived in Goblin-town near the High Pass. They preyed on travellers who used another, easier pass near the main gate of Goblin-town until people started avoiding that route over the mountains. The goblins then made another gate that opened into a cave that they called the Front Porch, at the top of the High Pass. The Great Goblin also sometimes ordered his goblins to catch fish for him in Gollum's Lake, and these goblins were sometimes killed by Gollum.
In the summer of TA 2941, the Dwarves of Thorin and Company, along with Bilbo Baggins, were captured on the Front Porch and were brought before the Great Goblin in his great cave, where he was seated on a flat stone and surrounded by armed guards. The Great Goblin demanded to know what the Dwarves were doing in the mountains. (He seems less hostile in this passage than the Orcs are during the later War of the Ring, as his questioning seems to imply that he has not decided beforehand whether he will order the party killed, make them slaves, or even let them go, but that he will decide according to their answers. It is also possible he was just toying with the group and would kill them afterwards.)
When it was revealed that Thorin carried the Elvish sword Orcrist - which the Orcs and goblins fear and which they called "Biter" - the Great Goblin was enraged and at once leapt to attack Thorin. Immediately, all the torches in the cave were extinguished and a glowing sword "bright as blue flame" appeared. It was Glamdring, called "Beater" by the goblins, and now wielded by Gandalf. As the Dwarves were escaping, the Great Goblin leapt down in front of them, and attacked Gandalf who was at the head of the party. Gandalf then fought back, stabbing the Great Goblin and killing him.
The death of the Great Goblin angered the goblins of the Misty Mountains. A great army of goblins and Wargs was amassed by Bolg, whose father Azog had been killed by the dwarf Dáin II Ironfoot. Bolg's forces tracked Thorin and Company to the Lonely Mountain where they fought in the Battle of the Five Armies against the Dwarves, Elves, and Lakemen.[2][3]
Portrayal in Adaptations
Rankin/Bass version
In the 1977 Rankin/Bass version of The Hobbit, the Great Goblin was voiced by John Stephenson. (The Hobbit)
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
- "Well, well, well! Look who it is; Thorin, son of Thrain, son of Thror, "King under the Mountain". Oh, but I'm forgetting; you don't have a mountain, and you're not a king, which makes you... nobody, really."
- —The Great Goblin, taunting Thorin Oakenshield
- "Bones will be shattered, necks will be wrung! You'll be beaten and battered, from racks you'll be hung! You will die down here and never be found! Down in the deep of Goblin-Town!"
- —The Great Goblin's song in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
In Peter Jackson's film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012), Barry Humphries, who is more commonly known for his alter ego Dame Edna Everage, is the voice and motion-capture performer of the Great Goblin, an entirely computer-generated character. He appears as a giant, obese, bloated goblin with lots of warts, lumps, and scars, and carries a large staff decorated with an animal skull, closely resembling a ram, adorned with shrunken heads.
His death is portrayed quite differently from the book. In the film, he is knocked off a cliff by Thorin when Gandalf saved the company, and is killed after the fight through Goblin Town when Gandalf slashes his abdomen and cuts his throat, and then his corpse falls on to the company at the bottom of the cavern.

New York Observer, page six, 1997.
Early on the morning of March 25, 1997, Page Six honcho Richard Johnson was arrested for a DUI. The item was reported by Lorne Manly (now a media writer at the New York Times) in the Off the Record column of the New York Observer.
"It got tons of reaction," said Mr. Manly yesterday of the 1997 item–but the item wasn't picked up in other venues. "I think no one else reported on the incident at the time," emailed Mr. Manly's then-editor, Jim Windolf, yesterday.
The item has not been available on the internet until now, and this prior arrest has largely been forgotten.

Constructing An Icon: Exploring The Laborers Who Built The Empire State Building
Overview of Lesson Plan:
In this lesson, students will learn about the different types of workers needed in the construction of the Empire State Building. Through research and discussion, students will understand not only what a colossal feat building the world's tallest structure in record time was, but will also appreciate the extraordinary commitment of the people who built it.
Suggested Time Allowance: 1 hour
Students will:
- Contemplate the risks involved with building a skyscraper.
- Learn about the many different kinds of workers needed for such an immense project.
- Research job titles and the responsibilities of those workers.
- Create baseball cards for original workers of the Empire State Building.
- student journals
- pens/pencils
- paper
- classroom board
- resources on the Empire State Building, including history textbooks, encyclopedias, computers with Internet access, etc.
- copies of early photographs of workers on the Empire State Building
- copies of the August 14, 1930 job list of employees present during construction of the Empire State Building
- copies of baseball cards of various formats; for examples of baseball card layouts, try a simple Google Image search for "Baseball Card"
- WARM-UP/DO-NOW: Prior to class, print out and display these photographs of workers on the Empire State Building. Ask students to choose one of the photographs and allow five minutes for them to respond to the following in their journals: "The four photographs in front of you depict laborers working on what was to be the tallest building in the world, the Empire State Building. Create a caption that summarizes what you see in the photograph you have chosen. Then write what you think it must have been like to work under the conditions depicted here. Why would workers risk their lives to work under these conditions?" After students have written in their journals, call on several of them to share their thoughts with the class. Record all descriptive words on the board. Urge students to consider what living and working conditions must have been like during the Great Depression when the Empire State Building was being constructed.
- Have the class discuss the following, recording class members' responses on the board: "What types of jobs are needed to build a skyscraper?" After a few minutes, hand out the August 14 list of jobs. Read through the job titles, noting ones the class suggested (including those which fit under different titles), as well as those that were not suggested.
- Divide the class into five groups. Each group will be assigned one of the following professions:
- Ironworker
- Mason
- Carpenter
- Electrician
- Plumber
The groups are to research the answers to the following:
- In what type of work does your group of laborers specialize? Find a working definition.
- During the construction of the Empire State Building, what specific tasks did your group of laborers perform?
- How many members of your profession were employed during the thirteen months of the building's construction?
- Find statistics to display the amount of work your profession contributed to the building's design (for example, "How many miles of cable were installed?" Or, "How many bricks were laid?")
- If possible, find a photograph displaying a member of your assigned profession working on the Empire State Building, or one that displays the outcome of that profession's work (this will be more challenging for some groups, such as the plumbers).
When the research is completed, ask each group to share its findings with the entire class.
- WRAP-UP/HOMEWORK: For homework, have students use the notes they gathered in class to create a baseball-style card for a worker on the Empire State Building. Each card should include a photograph, the worker's name, job title, description of the labor, statistics, and any biographical information students wish to add (country of origin, size of family, age, etc.). The workers' names do not have to be the actual names of those who built the building, but should reflect the ethnicities and sounds of those who might have been employed to work on the Empire State Building. The statistics must come from actual statistics about the construction and design of the building (For example: "Charlie Andreasen and his 4-member rivet crew secured 40 rivets/minute, earning $.15/day.")
Further Questions for Discussion:
- What effect do you think the Great Depression had on the speed and cost of constructing the Empire State Building?
- Would you want to live or work in a skyscraper? Why or why not?
Students will be evaluated based on participation in the initial exercises, active participation in group research and reporting, and creation of baseball-style cards celebrating workers of the Empire State Building.

Extension Activities:
- Using your knowledge of the amount and type of labor needed, hours worked, and working conditions, create a Help Wanted announcement that seeks workers to build the Empire State Building.
- Write a one-page paper on methods used in constructing the Empire State Building that allowed the building to rise in record time (for example, utilizing elevators from the demolished Waldorf-Astoria, or installing a railway system, etc.).

Academic Content Standards:
This lesson plan may be used to address the academic standards listed below. These standards are drawn from "Content Knowledge: A Compendium of Standards and Benchmarks for K-12 Education: 3rd and 4th Editions" and have been provided courtesy of the Mid-Continent Research for Education and Learning in Aurora, Colorado.
Behavioral Studies: Level III (Grades 6-8)

Benchmark 5. Understands that various factors (e.g., wants and needs, talents, interests, influence of family and peers and media) affect decisions that individuals make
Standard 2. Understands various meanings of social group, general implications of group membership, and different ways that groups function
Benchmark 1. Understands that affiliation with a group can increase the power of members through pooled resources and concerted action
Benchmark 2. Understands that joining a group often has personal advantages (e.g., companionship, sense of identity, recognition by others inside and outside the group)
Benchmark 3. Understands that group identity may create a feeling of superiority, which increases group cohesion, but may also occasion hostility toward and/or from other groups
Benchmark 4. Understands that people sometimes react to all members of a group as though they were the same and perceive in their behavior only those qualities that fit preconceptions of the group (i.e., stereotyping) which leads to uncritical judgments (e.g., showing blind respect for members of some groups and equally blind disrespect for members of other groups)

Hey people,m bak after a long sabbatical,and not here to write somethin to make u think or wonder ,rather show u somethin that would catch u in a timewarp and u mite as well end up wistfully wondering about how somethings in this world are just so beautiful ,and why exactly they keep on elluding us.
Since the inception of the autumn sem 07 ,every student at IITR ,has been caught by an innocuous bug of MP3 ,and by that i mean the "flop" movie-mera pehla pehla pyaar ,and i,am no exception to the case in point. And,therefore ,i thought why not put up this beautiful climax from the movie and get my reader's senses tingling like never b4 .
Everythin about this movie ,and this scene in particular is just so perfect ...the song,the locales,the kids...simply wonderful ...every1 who's seen it has this one thing to say -for the 3 hours that i sat watchin this movie ,it transported me into a completely surreal world,and yet a world which we all have experienced at some point in our lives ...its our own story,its every1's story...
I'm not publicising or writing any movie review ,i'm just using it to convey those strong emotions which everybody felt while watchin this movie...So go ahead enjoy the kiss alongside eiffel...and mind u ,the music rox!!!
PS:It'll take about 5 mins to load on a high speed connection...bt its worth the wait
PS2: Dont forget to turn on ur speakers!!!
Ahh....Sheer bliss!!!

Labels: Love, Mera pehla pehla pyaar
Note:This post has been in the stash since quite a w'hile now...so it might seem a li'l redundent at this point of time!!!
Now that we all have cast our votes and made the TAJ an undisputed wonder of the world ,and along with that inconspicously given birth to a new millionare-the guy who was behind the non-profit association( which somehow landed up earning millions ,takin 10 paise each out of ur n mine pockets ) ,and now that the media has finally realized that it has blighted the national economy by its no-frills attached ,unanimous support to the seven wonders consortium (or whatever its called ),and now also that the TOI has so vividly and comprehensively taken up the mission of selecting 7 wonders frm amongst the indian marvels of construction -hoping to donate some money to the already moribund moblie companies in the indian market (well,thats what i beleive ,coz every1 these days seems to possess a mobile connection!!) ----- I thought why not bring out my own list on the -make no mistake -SEVEN SPOOFS OF THE WORLD
Yeah ,here i present to you those endearments of life which have become so bijou that they have created a mirage in front of us that we cant seem to get out of our lowly brains .You may not necessarily agree with me in this regard ,and in any case ,I dont intend to earn any approbation for this post ,but pardon me ,though earthy being ,and bear me at ur own will !!
1) Technology :
yeah yeah ,now u'll wonder why ,inspite of being a proud student of the indian institute of "technology",and the proud owner of most advanced tech bijoutery such as the latest laptop and mobile phone and what not ,i still consider this boon to be the biggest bane ever befallen on mankind. In my opinion, inspite of all the beguling appearances of the gizmos and the sophistry that comes along with it , not to forget how they've managed to connect people and simplify our lives @ the click of a button - has somehow trapped us into an inescapable ravine ,and cast a spell on we muggles,which has left us in a daze ,and we've forgotten how to do the most basic chores in the most elemental way -we instead scamper for that instrument or gadget which we can so conveniently use ,and which ,with time has enslaved us . Take for example -the mobile phones .Yes i do agree that its now easier to store numbers ,easier to talk to somebody without having to go through somebody else first ,and know where exactly a person is at the given moment .But just imagine this situation - ur'e waiting for ur girl ,and she doesnt show up till 2 mins after the time that she had promised -what will you do ??Just call her and order her to amble along at the earliest or face the consequences?? But ,then dont u think it would've been so much better if u had instead waited for an hour and she'd have pleaded with you for forgiveness...i mean how often do we find that happening -a girl running after a guy for a folly she most often would commit!!!
And now with electricity going wireless and provosions to switch off the entire house's power supply at the click of a button ,wer'e sure to land up in wheelchairs ,not requiring to twitch even a muscle and let ourselves be handicapped and taken over by a new civilization -the mechizmos... Until then sit back n relax ...n enjoy
2) Nuclear weapons and WMDs: I guess i can afford to win a hands down supprt for this point ..there's no point repeating all the hazards of something that has the potential to wipe out humanity ,and any lifeform still surviving ,and the fact that its sumthing designed by the hands of our own people is the biggest irony .
Guess what ,1940s -the world wars at their peak ,people working out a strategy to save the world from the german onslaught and researching over new weapons to safeguard their interests .They brainstorm ,and what do they come up with as a plausible solution?? A nuclear warhead to wipe out a whole japanese city and give birth to more advanced forms of destruction... Nay..dont u think had u and i been thinkin abt a soluton at that time ,we would have definitely reached a concensus -ceasefire and do away with arms and adopt pigeons instead ...But our leaders were kinda great and swimming in complacency and pride ,and conveniently paved the way for the frightful ,and a world where agoraphobia and claustrophobia dont carry much of a difference , a world where we live with so much terror on the street as we do in our own homes!!!
3) Drinks,fags and drugs : What a pity -as i see more n more of my friends go down the unchatered paths and ruin themselves with each drag of a marlboro ,with nobody around to stop them from doing it ...its a world where we constantly try to find the way to reduce the smoke coming out of our car exhausts and chimneys in the industries ,and a world where where global warming has overcome any other form of concern ...and yet seeing someone smoking "in" or smoking "up",keeps us non-plussed with so much as a fickle smile ...
Yes ,with the changing world scenarios and the absolution of nuclear families ,and a more competetive world ,its normal for anybody to feel the pressure ,to feel the heat ,and then in the most convenient way -he gets an option to run from it all by giving up the feeling of being alive .yes ,that feeling of trance gives a momentary satisfaction and an uncanny feeling of being above all the worries and tensions and 'i-give-a-damn' demeanour to the person in question ,but theres more to it than meets the eye -and even as these stimulants act up rapidly and make us lose our senses ,make us see things which we want to see ,keeping away those that we dont -they simultaneously tear away the biological functions ,play games with the body's faculties and prepares it for the ultimate disaster -addiction.
No wonder these days ,everybody seems to land up at a rehab!!
4) K-soaps: I hope i can drive home this particular point without even having to go into the works ...
This is how it goes...u pick up a bunch of desperate tribe of teeny and tweeny bloopers ,who have lived unto this day for a career in acting ,and those who boast of mediocre looks and loads of attitude ,besides being non-allergic to the use of inconsiderate amounts of glycerine ...u give them a complete wardrobe overhaul ...the girls with traditional indian clothing of all shapes and sizes ,and jewellery that would make one wonder if they stole a jewellery store sometime...the guys with any kind of un-Indian urbane clothing...u rent out a big bungalow in a posh area of mumbai...u draw a master plan comprehesively covering every possible relationship that can supposedly exist between 2 people in the world ,and put them all under one roof,along with a women -oriented story and a rich-family-varied-troubles tango...and its a deal..the K soap is ready to roll...with a fascinating name and an equally fascinating jingle, every other timE!!!
isnt the world already so sick of tensions and misunderstandings brewing in their personal relationships that they seem to find ways out of it at every possible instance...why ,then,are these soaps awarded with a fan -following which could envy any big budget commercial venture!!!
All the melodrama and the unnecessary situations are almost cliched now for every soap ...yet,whenever a new one is around the corner ,it is much awaited by the junta ,especially living in the non-metro areas of the country ,and even when they know its the same saas-bahu-damaad-my-foot saga everytime they still stick to their TV screens with surprising candour!!! Hats off i say to whatever makes these soaps tick with the masses so feverishly...
5)Politics and politicians: Yea yea were talkin abt the same ol khadi clad politicos of the country ..who have been largely evergreen in their demeanour and practices ,and have been least affected by the changing values and traditions of the society...its so very surprising that those who had been chosen by the people and for the people have become so self obsessed that people are the last thing that theyd ever care about... in their hunger for power and wealth ,they've crossed all ethical and moral boundaries and no amt of whipping can get them back on line....i wonder how ,even after being fraught wuth so many discrepancies in their academic and cultural background ,they manage to nab the most lucrative postions in the administration of a country ,which is the second largest growing economy in the world!!!
Theyr'e simply one of a kind,and need special mention...god only knows how this country is making giant leaps even with such intrepid men at the helm...
6) Football:
Now u might blame my inexpicable mention of a harmless game to my being a truant cricket fan and appreciatee,but there are certainly some defects in football which appal me ,and the fact the people playin and watchin it can overlook em fr the sheer nothingness that the game has to offer surely reserves its place in the spoofs list!!!Here are some of em:
- It is played on that great tract of uncultivated land-so square and even in shape that it could have been instead congested with happy and prosperous agricultarists..My concern fr the harmful effects it has on the agrarian economy can well be illustrated by this example-Every footballer destroys twenty turnips a day... I say ,cant this talent of being able to kick a football with elan be put to better practices viz. kickin a law-breaker's butt!!!
- It is such a sport where the match often ends in a pallid score of 0-0 or say love all !!!I mean ,what a waste of male fatuity...what else,can better ilustrate the contradictions and futilities of this man made sport?? two parties of 11 men each,fightin over a single ball ,and not scoring any point even afer hours of head cracking and foot tapping!!!Pheww...
- the fact that even after decades of playin this game ,no positive evolution has taken place so far ...had it been the bastion of sensible men,they would have conceived by now to carry to the field a bomb,a horse-whip or even a hat-pin!!! Atleast that would have ensured a result
- Theres this autocratic official called referee who keeps on showing cards of different colours and still fails to have the players from removing their shirts and maintaing the game's decorum.We see this man blowing a whistle and refusing to allow one burly player a goal which he had scored. And what did the player ,the craven ,do?? Did he ,like a man of spirit ,hunger strike?? nay,he took it lying down!!! What a pity!!
7)Love: Now im not explaining this one....i leave it to your imagination to cast it in whatever light u want to...and even if u cant find a reason to put in the spoofs list...i suggest u just take it as my dogma or whatever without too much questioning...its my list and so its me who decides what goes in and what stays out....and fr that matter something as uncertain and short-lived as love surely is the biggest spoof i've ever known!!

Floyd Landis's fall from grace appears to be complete. They finally got around to testing his B sample this morning, and - surprise, surprise - it was as tainted as a Paris Hilton pap smear. It's a little sad, but to be honest, it's probably more fun for American sports fans to have another doper to make fun of than it is to have another cycling champion.
Team Phonak immediately cut ties with him, and the Tour de France people say he is no longer considered their champion, though he has yet to be officially stripped of the title. If that does eventually happen, it will be the first time in the 103-year history of the Tour de France.
Landis, continuing to show that great Landis resolve and determination, isn't giving up the fight. There are likely to be a ton more appeals and denials stretched out over the next few months. This story threatens to become Barbaro-esque with its potential for longevity and annoyance. But at least it will give Floyd Landis and Justin Gatlin an opportunity to keep exchanging e-mails:
"Floyd, what's up, it's J. So what bullshit excuse are you going to give people?"
"Well, we've got a whole list of things. New excuse everyday until people believe us. You?"
"Ah, I don't know, man. I might just throw something out there like 'vengeful massage therapist.'"
"You totally don't have the balls to do that."
"LOL! Watch me, man!"
"You're NUTS, man! You are NUTS!"

Destination guide: Los Angeles, United States
The city of Los Angeles is on the south coast of California in the United States and attracts thousands of fans of both movies and glamour. Among its main attractions are Hollywood, Disneyland, the Universal, Warner Brothers and Paramount studios, Griffith Park and the famous beaches of Santa Monica and Malibu and Laguna Beach.
From Los Angeles, you can visit other fabulous destinations such as Las Vegas, the California coast, Phoenix and the Grand Canyon. Don't put it off any longer and fly to the United States sooner that you expected.
Content provided by Lonely Planet
Los Angeles Overview
Welcome to sunny Los Angeles, a shiny city of reinvention where small talk always starts with a question: 'Where are you from?' This query reveals what's driving the city's energetic buzz – a perpetual in-flow of dreamers and go - getters.
Where else could an English acrobat named Archibald Leach become debonair Cary Grant? Or an Austrian bodybuilder lift his way from Muscle Beach to the governor's mansion? Even the water's from someplace else, imported almost a century ago after DWP chief William Mulholland opened the gates of his 233-mile aqueduct and millions of gallons rushed into the city. His words to the crowd? 'There it is. Take it.'
The crowd took, and the hustle hasn't stopped since. Screenwriters pitch in the shadows of the Hollywood sign. Surfers squint for the choicest Malibu wave. Then there are the true dream-chasers, the eternal optimists who join the line at Pink's – willing to wait hours for a bite of the perfect chili dog.
Don't care for hot dogs? A few steps away are the healthy macrobiotic delights of M Café de Chaya, where a hot dog would be met with gasps of Juicy Coutured horror. But that's LA – a bustling mash-up of culture, community and cuisine, where clubs-du-jour lurk beside old-school delis, ramshackle markets wobble near gleaming malls, palm trees sway over car-carrying rivers, and renowned museums preen beside bubbling tar pits.
As for the city portrayed in Oscar-winning Crash, LA's not quite so angry. Have fun. Reinvent. Shop. Hike. Surf. Party. LA is yours to grab. To paraphrase Mulholland: 'There it is. Go for it.'
Buy now Purchase your ticket at LAN.com and discover all of the charm that
Los Angeles has to offer.

Whether it's a basketful of goodies (plus aspirin) sent to tax professionals as a "tax season survival kit," or an offer to connect hurricane-menaced clients with sources of preparation and cleanup assistance, advisors can create WOW experiences for individuals or groups.
Sound like a nicety you can't afford? WOW converts don't think so. WOW "has nothing to do with investments, but everything to do with risk management," said Richard Mazo, an advisor with Ameriprise Financial in Cocoa, Fla.
"The Art of WOW"—the ability to build client loyalty by delivering exceptional experiences—has been codified in a book from Janus Labs. "It includes inspiration as well as instruction, suggesting ideas and procedures to expand your capacity for delivering WOW experiences," explained John Evans, Jr., executive director of Janus Labs. The book is currently available through Janus and will be released on Amazon.com later this year, Evans said.

Our Philosophy:
Build it to last
Esplanade Furniture began as a small unfinished furniture store in 1982. Much of the furniture we sold was manufactured by the owner Dann Moser. With the North Valley�s demand for quality all wood furniture, business quickly grew. We still offer unfinished furniture but we have grown to be a full service furniture store offering interior design, quality sofas, recliners, futons, mattresses and, of course, solid wood dressers, dining tables, entertainment and TV cabinets, and much more.Let's Get Started Learn more
