It's rarely been easy, but over the past three years there hasn't been a more surefire bet than the Bishop Hendricken football team in the postseason.
On Tuesday, the Hawks simply did what they do. Playing a red-hot Portsmouth team in the Division I semifinals, the No. 2 seeded Hawks got a monster game from senior quarterback Patrick Gill and scored on three straight second-half possessions to pull away from the No. 3 Patriots in a 36-15 victory.
Hendricken advanced to the D-I Super Bowl for the fifth consecutive year, and the Hawks will be searching for a record fourth consecutive state championship. They've now won seven straight playoff games, a Division I record.
They'll be taking on No. 4 seed Cranston East, which upset top-seeded Barrington in the other semifinal. That game is set for Sunday at 12 p.m., at Cranston Stadium.
"It never gets old," said Hendricken head coach Keith Croft.
Tuesday was just the newest chapter in what has been the greatest stretch of football in program history. Gill was the star of the show.
The senior, in his second season under center, completed 5-of-6 passes for 169 yards and three touchdowns, while running eight times for 112 yards plus a touchdown. He threw a 50-yard touchdown to senior Mike Scarcella on Hendricken's first drive of the second half, then ran 60 yards for a touchdown on the Hawks' second drive, sealing the game before the fourth quarter even started.
"I thought he had a really good game," Croft said of Gill. "His passing was there, but he ran the ball really well tonight. He bailed us out with a few big runs."
The pressure was on Gill from the start, as Portsmouth made a concerted effort to take away running back Remington Blue and receiver Lee Moses. Blue and Moses both had big games against the Patriots in the regular season, a 41-21 Hawks win, and Portsmouth was determined not to let that happen again.
The Patriots packed eight and sometimes nine men in the box to stop Blue, and put star defensive back Matt Sewall outside on Moses. That meant other players had to step up.
They did.
Gill found Scarcella for two touchdowns, the first of which went for 95 yards and was a crippling blow to the Patriots hopes in what was an otherwise tight first half.
"We talked about it during the week, how they put Sewall on (star Cranston East receiver Marven Beauvais) so they would probably put him on Lee, and if they did that it would open up the middle of the field, or just open up Mike Scarcella as a wide-out," Gill said. "We just went to it and attacked it and came out with good results."
Gill also found Mitch Lucci for a 9-yard touchdown in the first half, as the Hawks were perfectly content to go away from Blue and Moses if they had to. Blue had just 40 yards on 16 carries, while Moses had one catch for eight yards.
"Lee is a great player," Scarcella said. "But the thing about our team is that we are actually a complete team. We don't have one guy that shines above. Remy Blue, obviously, is fantastic. Pat Gill, fantastic. The O-line, unbelievable. Mitch Lucci. We have the best defense in the state. It's not one guy."
Still, the game was close for a while. Hendricken got a 33-yard field goal from Robert Campbell on its opening possession – the team's first made field goal of the season – and then held Portsmouth to a field goal attempt on its possession, which Andrew French missed wide left from 24 yards out.
The teams traded punts from there, with Portsmouth's punt pinning the Hawks at their own 5-yard line early in the second quarter. Field position, however, wasn't a problem.
Gill dropped back on the first play of the drive and lofted a fade to Scarcella on the right side. He leaped and caught the ball near his own 40-yard line while a Portsmouth defender fell down, and Scarcella raced the rest of the way for a touchdown. The extra point was no good and Hendricken led 9-0.
"I said to them before the game, 'Some other guys are going to have to step up,'" Croft said. "And Mike did. I'm happy for him, because he's a senior. He's had a lot of big games over the years."
Hendricken forced another punt on Portsmouth's next possession, but the Patriots snapped the ball over their punter's head, resulting in a turnover on downs. The Hawks returned the favor with a miscue of their own, as Blue fumbled on Hendricken's next play to give the ball back to Portsmouth.
But the Patriots again couldn't get anything going. With Sewall under center – as one of the best players in the state – Hendricken forced a turnover on downs on Portsmouth's 24-yard line. Three plays later, Gill found Lucci on a 9-yard out pattern for another score, making it 15-0 with 34 seconds left in the half.
Hendricken was in control, but Portsmouth nearly cut into the deficit before the end of the half. On the ensuing kickoff, Sewall fielded the ball and exploded through the first level, breaking it up the right sideline for a 68-yard return. He was forced down on Hendricken's 11-yard line with 22 seconds left in the half.
Armed with a shot at a big score, Portsmouth ran Sewall for minus-four yards on the first play and then followed with three consecutive incompletions to end the half.
"It would have been a little nerve-wracking, but we have such a great coaching staff that they have prepared us in every possible situation," Scarcella said. "We have done so much study, we knew how to play everything. We were not surprised."
Still very much in it, though, Portsmouth came out in the second half and immediately got on the board. Sewall capped a four-play drive with an acrobatic 27-yard touchdown run. The extra point made it 15-7.
Yet the Hawks were far from panic mode.
"We just had to convert," Gill said. "If you don't convert you put them right back in the game."
Convert, they did. On the fourth play of the next drive, Gill found Scarcella deep up the middle, and again the Portsmouth defender couldn't keep up. Scarcella caught the ball and cruised untouched into the end zone. Campbell's extra point made it 22-7.
Down two scores, Portsmouth drove the ball down to Hendricken's 23-yard line on the next possession only to have running back Travis O'Brien fumble it away.
Sensing that the Patriots were on the ropes, Hendricken ground out two first downs – both third-down conversions – before Gill got loose up the middle and went all the way to the end zone from 60 yards away. The extra point made it 29-7 with one minute to play in the third.
"I broke it from a great trap block by Nick Mariano and then a down block by [Tyler Champlin]," Gill said. "I went to the middle of the field. I saw Lee Moses to the left and nobody to my right, so I knew I was safe once I saw Lee by my side."
Portsmouth turned the ball over on downs on its next possession and on Hendricken's first play Gary Gibbs rumbled 35 yards for the final Hawk points. Sewall added a 6-yard touchdown run late to cap the Patriots' scoring.
Sewall ended his career with one of the better seasons in Rhode Island history, as he was the focal point of nearly everything the Patriots did. He ran the ball 30 times on Tuesday for 215 yards and two touchdowns.
"I can't say this enough – I've been coaching and playing over here a long time, and he's the biggest warrior I've ever seen," Croft said. "He just never stops. He gets knocked down, he gets back up. He gets knocked down, you think he's hurt, he gets back up. He's got a huge heart."
The Hawks out-gained Portsmouth 378-311 in the game, but more importantly out-scored the Patriots by 21.
Once again, Hendricken is Super Bowl bound. No team in Rhode Island football history has won four consecutive Super Bowl championships.
"I can't wait," Scarcella said.

A key element of any campaign is how healthy its small dollar donor base is. Even here at the Madison Project, our success is based on the folks that give $25 or less. We don't have a lot of maxed out major donors.
So when President Obama's campaign reports an almost $30 million drop-off in fundraising from the first quarter, to me it signals several things. The first is that his progressive donor base is even getting nervous and thinking, "Do I really want to give my $5 or $10 to this guy?" The second, much like the first, shows that there is an enthusiasm gap. What was there in 2008 is not there right now. The progressive activists that swarmed precincts across the nation in 2008 and turned states like Indiana and North Carolina blue are having second thoughts. The college kids aren't swiping their parents' credit cards to donate to Obama in a state of political ecstasy like they did 3 years ago.
Do I think this could change? Sure. Anything can happen in politics. But for the Billion Dollar Campaign to have a huge drop-off in the second quarter of this year, at a time when it is supposed to be gaining momentum, does not bode well for a president whose approval rating is virtually locked in at 40%.

Honey, I'm nuts! This is the cry being heard in households all across the country as Americans begin taking the new federally mandated "Home Insanity Test." It's all done online, and the results come back immediately. It is but the latest in a series of as yet unsuccessful attempts to keep guns out of the hands of crazy people in the U.S.
According to J. Edgar Hooterville, director of the Federal Bureau of Insanity, the early results of the tests are indicating some surprising trends. "Based on returns so far," he said at a recent press conference, "our projection is that about 99% of the people in this country are insane. The other one percent are what we call 'enablers.' In retrospect, I guess we shouldn't be surprised that this is the case in a nation where peanut butter comes with instructions and has a 1-800 number for those who are still confused.
"Nonetheless, we must accept the fact that lunatics are indeed running the asylum. It's just like that French movie, 'King of Hearts,' from the 1960s. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? No? Well anyway, since it now appears that everyone who owns a firearm is crazy, including myself, there's really not much point in trying to take anyone's guns away. It just wouldn't make sense; right? We will, however, be initiating a number of government programs designed to protect and serve our armed populace.
"Weekends will be officially designated 'Don't Leave the House' days. This should cut down on shootings outside of the immediate family. In general, people will be encouraged to stay home as much as possible. They can watch brutal, gory shows on TV and play violent video games to satisfy their aggressive tendencies.
"We will also be publishing a pamphlet entitled '101 things to do when a loved one gets shot.'" For example:
• Tip #3 'Get more guns for yourself.' To facilitate this, they have eliminated the waiting period for all gun purchases (why bother?), although the waiting period for tattoos will remain in effect.
• Tip #47 'Write to your Congressman' (if she hasn't already been shot) and request more armed guards in public places, including guards guarding the guards. Make sure you tell the Congessman that this is exactly the kind of 'Mexican standoff' society in which you want to live and raise your family.
"We have also produced a video, 'My First Gun,' in which the popular Muppet Elmo talks to kids about the importance of the Second Amendment. In it, he sings, "Don't tread on me," about how protecting gun rights is much more important than getting a good education. As Elmo so eloquently puts it, 'Which rallies get more people — Save Our Schools or the NRA's Save Our Guns?'
"In addition, we are making available for a nominal fee, our 'Do-it-Yourself Mourning Kit,' which includes candles, teddy bears, Mylar balloons, black crepe frames (for photos of your deceased loved ones) and a CD of inspirational hymns (or, for atheists, sad folk songs). Available in 17 different languages.
For those of you who have not yet taken the Home Insanity Test, here's a quick overview of the quiz:
• Part A is designed to identify people who are paranoid. To make things easier for the vast majority of folks who can't spell, these questions are all 'true or false.' Only check one.
True or false:
• Robots are watching you.
• Aliens are taking over the country.
• There's poison in your food, air and water.
• Government agents are monitoring your communications.
OK, all of these are actually true, so it doesn't matter which box you check. If you weren't paranoid already, this should push you over the edge.
• Part B determines your personality type. You may answer 'yes,' 'no,' 'yes and no' or 'what the hell are you talking about?'
Do you:
• Hate people who have different lifestyles, disagree with you or support opposing sports teams?
• Believe that global warming and evolution are Commie hoaxes?
• Think that the universe revolves around you and your needs?
• Eat a lot of bacon?
Of course, the test results are still being tabulated, but for all intents and purposes, the verdict is already in: if you are over 18, of sound mind and live in America, you must be nuts.

M1 Bazooka replica legality question
I have been wanting to build a replica M1 Bazooka for a while now [for WWII reenactment]. When I started to get serious I ran into several problems with the legality of the build. I want to build a replica M1 bazooka that will fire an inert M6 Model Rocket.
The problem is that if I add a functioning trigger to the replica it is an NFA weapon and that's not what I need.
I was wondering if I could just build the launcher without a trigger [so it would just be a fancy tube with a stock and handles] and fire the model rockets using a step activated model rocket launch controller like the ones you find at hobby stores.
Would that be legal? The launch controller that would usually launch the model rocket from the launch stand would still be used to launch the rocket, and the tube would act as a new launch stand/guide rod. The launch controller and the tube would be two separate devices and would never be physically attached.

The trigger isn't just literally a trigger. If it's a smoothbore tube over .50 that fires a projectile, you have an NFA item. Period.

Check into the legalities through ATF for getting the forms filled out for it and do it right, otherwise plan on an extended vacation in Club Fed.
When you do get it all approved and built we'd love to see video!

Maybe look into having it propelled by some compressed gas of some sort, like a spud gun. Then it's not even classified as a firearm and you don't have to deal with the ATF ( as long as the projectile doesn't explode)

You could make the projectile from a plastic foam material, that would be light enough. Compressed air/gas from a paint ball gun should work OK, or use spring power.

check with the ATF..
And get it in writing!
The last I knew (and this is decades old, so it may have changed) the launcher is not an NFA weapon.
What the ATF did back in the 1970s, (which was the last time I checked), was that they didn't consider the launcher tubes to be NFA weapons. The same went for actual artillery pieces.
Each individual round of ammo was NFA registered! Because they contain explosives. Practice rounds, with inert projectiles, were not registered.
I have seen lots of LAW tubes for sale, and once in a while bazooka type launchers, although I haven't paid much attention to them, not my thing, really.
Check with the ATF, in these matters, their word is (unfortunately) law.
Until they change it. So, best thing is get something in writing. Don't take a phone conversation with some "agent" in an office as valid. IT may be, but then again.....
Kind of like taxes, if the IRS tells you something, and it turns out to be wrong, you are still responsible!
All else being equal (and it almost never is) bigger bullets tend to work better.

That would definitely be a cool build if you can figure out how to do it legally, and safely. For all purposes I would suggest looking into the compressed air build... but the simple fact I have personally seen model rocket engines go catastrophically wrong... and would not be a great thing to fire off your shoulder.
If you ever do build one... as others said.. please post the final project.

I suppose I should've been more precise, due to the piles of online folks who will take things out of context, put words in my mouth, etc.
Shotguns would be NFA if they weren't exempted for sporting purposes. Airguns don't count as NFA, and "spud guns", well, they seem to vary from letter to letter, state to state.
If you have a tube that is going to be used to fire a projectile, that is smooth bore, that is over .50", that is a firearm in any legal sense (using a burning propellant to project an object over distance), you have an NFA item in the large bore destructive device category. Doesn't really matter if you're "only" using model rocket motors (which is how actual AT rocket launchers essentially work...), doesn't really matter if it's "only" a toy, in a pure legal sense it's within the NFA.
(There, is that more precise?)
Frankly, if you don't believe me, you can ask the NFA tech branch, or you can read the law, or you can look at existing examples. To be NFA compliant, tubes are either registered and sold as DDs, or they are rendered compliant by being "demilled" to whatever specs the BATFE is currently happy with.
By the by, if you go by the thinking that if there's no explosive projectile it's not NFA, why in the world are 40mm grenade launchers required to be registered? Why are mortars required to be registered?

Yes that is pretty stupid advice! You'd imagine the RSPCA to know more about animals...(?)
I haven't received any silly advice exactly from them, but one day I calle dthem about a dog howling from a shed, which I had heard regularly for hours on many days. I just asked if they could check it out.
I told them this shed was on spare ground, and gave them the grid reference and a fine detailed description of the location, so that no-one who followed that particular little lane could miss it! I told them "There is no house there. It is a collection of sheds behind a 15ft high corrugated iron fence."
So....they wanted the house address and number (what??) I repeated what I'd told them a minute before, and they repeated that they couldn't come out unless it was an actual house and address.
This back-and-forth lasted another few minutes. Then I gave up. They suggested I try the Dog Warden...
Fortunately later I did discover that a farmer owned that bit of land, kept sheep and trained sheepdogs. He had the dogs kenneled there. Unknown to him, I watched him once through a hedge, training one of his pups, and he was good with the little dog and gentle. I watched him with his dogs also, and all the dogs looked cared for and very happy.
That must have been a noisy one!
So I found out there was no cruelty happening.
But what a limp response from the RSPCA!

Daryl Hall to open music venue
Rock star making music in a club of his own
Rock 'n' roll legend Daryl Hall is opening a music venue at the old Towne Crier location in Pawling, N.Y. (The Towne Crier relocated to Beacon, N.Y.)
The venue -- which will be called Daryl's House -- is going to feature live performances and serve as the new location for Hall to film his critically acclaimed, award-winning, web-to-cable music talk show, "Live From Daryl's House." The show, which started as a web series, features Hall talking and jamming with music icons and bands in an intimate setting with no audience. Past guests have included CeeLo Green, Train, Jason Mraz, and more recently, ZZ Top front man Billy Gibbons.
When asked what inspired him, Hall (of the celebrated duo Hall & Oates) said he'd always liked the idea of having a club.
"I just like my own clubhouse to play and the opportunity sort of presented itself. I heard that the Crier (location) was up for grabs, and it is certainly in my neighborhood.
"I also sold my house up in Dutchess County (in Millerton, N.Y.), so I wanted another venue to put on the `Daryl's House' show."
It's not a long haul for the musician, who recently moved to Sherman. His new Connecticut digs is a classic house built in 1787, which he is renovating as part of another show he's doing. This one is for the DIY Network and is called "Daryl's Restoration Over-Hall."
Hall hopes to have the new Daryl's House open to the public sometime in late spring. But "Live From Daryl's House" is already being filmed there. The first episode featured Amos Lee, whose latest album, "Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song" (2013), topped the Americana radio chart for two consecutive months. That episode premiered Feb. 27 on Viacom's high-definition music channel Palladia. It will also be available April 15 on the show's website, LFDH.com.
Jonathan Wolfson, Hall's manager and co-producer of "Live From Daryl's House," said the show will always be filmed without an audience, even once the venue goes public.
"We've pretty much kept it similar to what the show has always been," he said. "It's an intimate situation where the audience (watching from home) is a fly on the wall."
Hall is going to remodel the place in a similar fashion to his former 1770s home in Millerton. "I'm trying to do a specific decor and style. I'm converting everything, from the tables and chairs, to the walls and ceiling, to an 18th-century style so it looks like a big version of my house," Hall said. "It's a very Early American, New England-y kind of vibe I am turning it into."
Much like Carnegie Hall, the new venue is going to be all about the music. Hall said it will feature artists who play styles similar to his own and who are more in the R&B and rock vein than the folk and world music for which the Towne Crier was known.
"It will be similar, in a way (to the Old Towne Crier), in that there will be food and music, but that's where it ends," Hall said.
He added that previously most of the space in front of the stage was taken up by tables and chairs. He plans to expand the performance area and has designed the new space to be more focused on music.
That's not to say the restaurant and bar portion of the club are going on the back burner. Hall said it will be a great restaurant and bar that will feature an eclectic menu with a variety of options, including steaks, burgers and Italian and Indian food, though one has to hope that there will be no "Maneaters" in attendance.
Those involved with the project are optimistic and excited about its prospects, and Hall's notoriety should certainly help. Wolfson said, "You never know when Daryl is going to get on stage. It will be great."
On June 15, Hall will be at the Chastain Park Amphitheater in Atlanta for a concert he's doing with his old friend John Oates.
The duo will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next month.

- Minerva McGonagall: "Is that where — ?"
- Albus Dumbledore: "Yes. He'll have that scar forever."
- — Talk of Harry's lightning-bolt scar[src]
Harry Potter has obtained a number of scars over his lifetime, as well as a few injuries that may have resulted in scarring. The one he is most well known for, and the first he received, is on his forehead and is shaped like a lightning bolt (or possibly in the shape of the wand movement required for the killing curse); it is the result of a Killing Curse striking him when he was an infant and played a role in his conflict with, and eventual defeat of Lord Voldemort.
Lightning-bolt scar
- "Yes. That ain't no ordinary cut on your forehead, Harry. A mark like that only comes from being touched by a curse, and an evil curse at that."
- —Brief description of the scar on Harry's forehead[src]
A scar on Harry Potter's forehead in the shape of a lightning bolt[1] is the result of a failed murder attempt by Lord Voldemort on 31 October, 1981, when he struck 15-month-old Harry with the Killing Curse. Harry is the only known person to survive the curse because his mother's loving sacrifice protected him.[2] Unbeknownst to Voldemort, the incident also inadvertently made Harry into a Horcrux, as a piece of the Dark Lord's soul embedded itself in Harry.
Realising the connection
- "I guessed, 15 years ago, when I saw the scar on your forehead, what it might mean. I guessed that it might be the sign of a connection forged between you and Voldemort."
- —Albus Dumbledore regarding Harry's lightning-bolt scar[src]
In the years to come, Harry's scar hurt whenever Voldemort was close, or whenever he was in danger from the Dark Lord or his followers, the Death Eaters, such as when one set off the Dark Mark near him in 1994. When Harry was forced to confront the newly returned Voldemort in the graveyard in Little Hangleton in 1995, his scar burned terribly.[3]
At this point, it became clear to Albus Dumbledore and to Harry that the scar was part of a link between his mind and that of Voldemort. It would hurt Harry whenever Voldemort was experiencing strong negative emotions, and sometimes Harry was able to see into Voldemort's thoughts directly. It was through this connection that Harry saw Nagini attack Arthur Weasley in 1995.
This incident was what high-lighted the need for Harry to learn to block the connection that existed, as this vision was more intense then previous ones. To try to prevent Voldemort from invading Harry's mind, Dumbledore had him take Occlumency lessons with Severus Snape, though they were ultimately unsuccessful. They were unsuccessful because Snape and Harry could not put their animosity towards each other aside and preform the necessary steps required in teaching and learning this art.
In June of 1996, Voldemort used the link to send Harry a false vision of his godfather being tortured with the Cruciatus Curse in order to lure him to the Department of Mysteries. Once within the department he and his friends were attacked and a battle ensued. Voldemort briefly possessed Harry at the end of this battle, but when Harry focused on feelings of grief for his beloved, murdered godfather, Voldemort experienced great pain and pulled out from his mind. Dumbledore theorised that Voldemort would never attempt to enter Harry's mind again.[4]
Using and destroying the link
- "The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well."
- —The connection with Voldemort was destroyed[src]
Although Harry never mastered Occlumency, he did eventually learn to exert moderate control over the connection between himself and Voldemort. While searching for the Horcruxes with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, he felt his scar burn many times, on the occasions when Voldemort was angry, and was able to glimpse his thoughts and perceptions at those times. For example, when Harry questioned Mr Ollivander about the existence of the Elder Wand, he had seen a vision from the past in which Ollivander was telling Voldemort that Gregorovitch had the Elder Wand. He also saw Voldemort ordering Draco Malfoy to torture Thorfinn Rowle through Voldemort's eyes. When Harry focused on feelings associated with love, such as his anguish over Hermione being tortured by Bellatrix Lestrange or his grief over Dobby's death, he was able to block out his link to Voldemort.[5]
After Harry learned that he was a Horcrux, he willingly went to what he believed would be his death. Voldemort's Killing Curse, however, only destroyed the piece of his own soul that was inside of Harry, thus eliminating their link. Harry survived, and went to defeat Voldemort once and for all. Since the pain from his scar was caused by the portion of Voldemort's soul within him trying to escape, Harry did not feel any more pain from the scar once Voldemort had eliminated that portion of soul,[5] until the year 2020, when Voldemort's daughter, Delphini, was plotting his revival via the use of time travel.[6]
Scars on Harry's hand
- Ron Weasley: "Bloody hell, Harry. The woman's torturing you... If the parents knew about this..."
- Harry Potter: "I haven't got any of those, have I, Ron?"
- Hermione Granger: "But, Harry, you've got to report this."
- — Conversation regarding the scars on Harry's hand[src]
Dolores Umbridge, a Ministry employee, became Defence Against the Dark Arts professor and High Inquisitor of Hogwarts in Harry's fifth year. She pushed the Ministry's position that Lord Voldemort had not returned, and that Harry and Dumbledore were liars or nutters for saying otherwise. Harry argued with her about this on numerous occasions, resulting in her assigning him detentions. She made him write lines with a Blood Quill, which used his own blood as ink.
As a result, Harry was left with scar on his right hand reading "I must not tell lies" that are white when he clenches his hand, usually when he is filled with hate upon hearing about Umbridge. The scars tingle whenever Harry hears or touches Umbridge's name, or any reference to her.
Other possible scars
There are some injuries which Harry received that may have left scars.
Nagini's bite scar
- "The snake bit you too, but I've cleaned the wound and put some Dittany on it..."
- —Harry now has a snake bite scar on his forearm[src]
When Nagini attacked Harry when he and Hermione ventured to Godric's Hollow on 24 December, 1997, the snake bit him on the forearm. After Disapparating, Hermione put some Dittany on the wound. By the time Harry woke up, the bite was "half-healed".[5] It is unknown if this left a scar, because although Dittany generally repairs damage to the skin, Nagini was a venomous snake, which may have exacerbated the injury. When she bit Arthur Weasley in 1995, the healers at St Mungo's had a difficult time keeping the wound closed because her poison dissolved his stitches[4] and was immune to common magical forms of healing. Nagini may not have given Harry as severe a bite because Voldemort ordered her to hold him, not to kill him.[5] Harry's own nature as a Horcrux may also have been a factor.
Cheekbone Scar
- "The famous lightning scar has company: Potter is sporting a nasty cut over his right cheekbone. Requests for information as to its provenance merely produced the usual response from the Ministry of Magic: 'We do not comment on the top secret work of the Auror department, as we have told you no less than 514 times, Ms. Skeeter.'"
- —{{{2}}}
In the gossip section of the 2014 Quidditch World Cup on Pottermore, Rita Skeeter reported spotting a new scar upon Harry's right cheekbone, the origins of which are currently unknown.
Behind the scenes
- According to J. K. Rowling during a web chat, the lightning scar no longer burns or hurts after Voldemort's defeat.[7]
- J. K. Rowling stated that the pain from Harry's scar on his forehead is caused by the piece of Voldemort's soul trying to leave his body through the wound it entered to rejoin its master's soul.[8]
- J. K. Rowling during a web chat stated that she could not sport her hero with a doughnut-shaped scar and so she gave Harry the lightning bolt scar on his head because she felt it was cool.[9]
- In the films, Harry's scar is off-centre on his forehead. This was done at J. K. Rowling's insistence, because many fans believe that the scar is in the middle of his forehead, since this is where illustrations in the American books depict it; however the British books depict it off-centre, but the scar's location is never mentioned in the books' text. It is, however, hinted to be on the right side of his forehead (in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix it says Harry received pain above his right eye). It was also mentioned that it was in a location easily covered by his hair.
- The scar on Harry's forehead prompted Draco Malfoy to come up with and use the mocking nickname of "Scarhead" for Harry, which he first uttered during the Quidditch match of Gryffindor versus Slytherin in 1992,[10] but used multiple times since.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the scars on Harry's left hand read "I must not tell lies". Also, he has scars on his right hand saying "I will not break rules" (done after Umbridge found the Dumbledore's Army).
- Prince William, Duke of Cambridge revealed that he has a scar similar to Harry Potter's on his forehead. He calls it his "Harry Potter scar" because it glows sometimes, and some people notice it, while at other times they do not notice it at all.[11]
- Before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released, J. K. Rowling stated that the last word of the book would be "scar." She changed her mind in the end, and the last word is "well", although Harry's scar is mentioned in the penultimate sentence of the book.
- The cut that Pettigrew gave Harry in the Little Hangleton Graveyard is similar to the Dark Mark in its location and length.

When North Raleigh Christian gave up a 2-0 lead in the seventh inning against visiting Wake Christian Monday, the Knights coaches told players to "find a way."
Trailing 5-2 in the bottom of the inning, Drake Harris and Richard Landis each doubled for the Knights, bringing Trevor Edge up to bat with one out and runners on second and third.
Edge knocked one out of the park and just inside the right field foul post for a three-run homerun to tie the game and force extra innings.
Edge would score the winning run two innings later when Wake reliever Kyle Patterson fielded a Russ Smith bunt, but overthrew first base to allow the NRCA score.

"They came up with that ('find a way' motto) in here on their own," North Raleigh Christian coach Bill Cook said of his players. "We've been talking all year long about competing and about fighting, never giving up. It was 'find a way on base, find a way on base, find a way to get it done,' and that's what we did today. We found a way."
Smith's RBI single put the Knights on the board in the fourth inning, and Lachlan McKinion doubled in the sixth to bring Smith home for a two-run lead before the Bulldogs took advantage of North Raleigh's struggles on the mound in the seventh inning.
After being held scoreless through six innings by Edge and Harris, NRCA's starter and reliever, respectively, Wake Christian completed 11 at-bats in the seventh, with the first three batters reaching base. Andrew Alexander's walk brought in the first of five Bulldogs runs in the inning before two flyouts to center field stopped the damage.
Wake Christian coach Randy Johnson knew the matchup with North Raleigh Christian would be a battle.
"Those guys won the conference last year and we were second. We've got everybody back but one, so I expected it to be a good game and it turned out to be a nine-inning game," Johnson said.
Knights closer Maleek Perpall, who had given up the five seventh-inning runs, retired three straight batters in the eighth before Smith came in to finish the game on the mound in the ninth.
"Maleek's been our closer for two years and that was probably the worst inning I've seen him throw," Cook said. "I wanted to give him another chance to go back out. I didn't want him to come out of this game today with a five-run seventh inning being the last thing he remembered.
"We had tied it back up. I knew we'd get one more set of at bats, and I really wanted him to go back out there and figure out what didn't work the inning before, and it worked out. He did pull it off. He did do exactly what I thought he would. He's a competitor and that's why he has that position."
The Knights' offensive output was significantly slowed Monday for a team that had scored 79 runs in its first six games.
"Beau Barger threw a fantastic ball game for Wake. ... He definitely threw well enough to win today," Cook said. "That held us in check until that last inning. I know he'd thrown a lot of pitches. He was tired. He really threw one bad pitch and Trevor made him pay for it, and the bats came alive, so it worked out for us."
Monday's game kicked off Triangle Independent Schools Athletic Association play for both teams, and a three-game series with the Bulldogs.
Wake Christian would win the second installment of the series Thursday, 10-3.
"This year I think everybody's gotten better and it's going to be a fight," Cook said. "It's a 12-game conference season this year, which is different than last year, and we've got to come ready to play every day."

Composing Room
The process of typesetting is called composition in the trade. Traditional composition has been called hot metal composition, which in some usage includes hand composition of foundry type since that was also cast once. For much of the history of printing, composition was hand composition of hand-cast type. Only in the 20th century were practical methods of machine setting invented, which leveraged on previous advances in machine casting of type.
Hot Metal Composition: Machine Composition
The workhorse for book-work machine typesetting was the Lanston Monotype. It cast individual sorts as needed and assembled them at an assigned width. Once the page was "worked off," the type could be melted to be cast anew, or it could be distributed into cases for hand composition or correcting of typographic errors matter set in the same face.
- Composition casters with 160 cases of mats
- Keyboards
- Strip casters with 150 border mats
- Sorts casters with 110 fonts of mats
The original hot-metal composing machine for newspaper operations. In contrast to the Monotype, it cast whole lines at once. Typographic errors required the resetting and recasting of the entire line, and sometimes adjacent lines if the spacing was changed too much by the correction.
- Model 1 ("X") The Second Band Machine
- Model 5
- Model 31 (3)
- Model 35 Comet (2)
- Elektron Linotype
- Linotype magazines in racks (115) liner, mat and parts storage
- cabinets (17)
- Linotype mats (300 fonts)
Linotype Teletypesetter
The Linotype was adapted to remote setting using transmission of wire-service copy with the Teletypesetter papr tape keyboard and printer.
- Perforator keyboards (4)
- Teletypesetter high-speed Punch
All Purpose Linotype
Merganthaler Linotype's solution to the headline composition problem was the "APL," a machine which would cast headline lines from hand-composed matrices. It had larger matrices than the largest regular Linotype, and with the Ludlow conversion composing sticks (2+), it could cast from Ludlow matrices.
lntertype (3)
Intertype was a clone of the Linotype, made to be able to interchange fonts and some parts, made by the Intertype Corporation.
- Model C
- Model C with Teletypesetter and Justape
- Model F
- 90 magazines in racks, all with mats
Linograph (1)
Linograph Model 1, with 5 magazines, 12 fonts of mats
The Ludlow was the main machine for headline composition. A compositor assembled matrices for one line of headline or display by hand on a "Ludlow composing stick." Ludlow type is cast type-high like all other type, but it is not cast to the full point-size to that height; to save metal and expedite cooling (and thus cycling), all sizes are cast on a 12-pt slug, with massive cantilevers (far too solid to call kerns) hanging over the top & bottom, which are supported on high spacing slugs. The high spacing slugs were cast on Elrod casters, which could also cast low spaces; an Elrod in good condition could cast one-point leads.
- Ludlows (2) — with 206 fonts of mats in 20-case racks
- Ludlow Super-Finishers (2) support tools.
- Elrods (2) with molds and support tools.
The Unitype foundry-type typesetter set foundry type (harder than the normal hot-metal composing machines could cast on the fly). It requires specially cast foundry type that was notched for machine sorting (not unlike Linotype matrices). 10pt., with font.
General support equipment
A well equipped hot-metal composing room had a wide variety of specialized tools (in addition to a general machinery-shop for repairs!).
- Typographical saws (5)
- hand lead and slug cutters (12)
- rotary mitering machines (3)
- hand miters (3)
- line-caster slug router
- Monotabular broach
- type-high gauges, dial (2)
- small tools
- Smelter – multiple pig mold, 8-pig, water cooled single pig molds (16)
- pi trucks (8)
- smelter tools

Make-up and Correction
After basic composition, type must be assembled into galleys for first proof and then "imposed" pages and multiple-page forms in preparation for printing. The table upon which the type is organized into one or multi-page forms is called the imposing stone, and often is made of marble. Later industrial models are precision steel. Marble and steel are preferred to ensure flatness and levelness of the surface when a form is prepared for the press. Forms are stored temporarily and long-term tied with page-cord (strong fine waxed string) on a galley in a galley rack. Forms that are going to or from the press for proofs or corrections will be stored in chases that fit the press, which are stored on edge in special racks and (in larger sizes) wheeled about on special "trucks" or dollies.

For large (or repeated) runs of books or newspapers, neither hot-metal machine-composition type nor hand-composed foundry type is ideal. Having large quantities of type metal in standing forms is expensive inventory; also both kinds of type wear (machine comp wears faster than the harder foundry, but the wear on foundry is capital depreciation). In addition, only one press can print the result of one composition; to have multiple presses running hand comp would require multiple settings (and multiple errors and proofings). The solution to this problem is the stereotype (or in French, the cliché), by which each multi-page form, in a special chase, is cast into a solid thin metal plate, which may be printed either upon patent bases on standard presses or on rotary presses built for stereo plates. Multiple plates can thus be made from one setting (hence stereo); and once the plates are made, the type can be distributed or melted for reuse. Mats taken from the type form can be expressed to remote sites for casting, allowing coordinated advertising and syndicated copy without resetting.

Cold Composition
All means of composition not using cast metal type is cold composition. The typewriter was sneeringly called Cold Metal in some times and places (although you now hear it used for hand composers working at the case!) as well as Strike-on Comp; the various Zip-a-Tone/Letraset products have been called Rub-on Comp. In the middle of the Offset revolution, they were the low-end competitors to pulling reproduction proofs from metal type to produce camera ready art.
The primary replacement for Hot Metal were the phototype compositor machines. Here the photographic negative replaces the impress matrix casting new metal. Most were running-text machines as with most hot-metal. Most shops continued to handset headlines at the case or at the Ludlow to pull repro proofs, but the CG Headliner filled the niche of the Ludlow.

Composing Typewriters
Derogatorily called "Strike-on" composition, the composing typewriter was used for camera-ready copy in the quick-print business, in academic publishing, and small weeklies, where cost and turn-around were the driving factors. The best were capable of proportional spacing, justification, and handling multiple fonts. The familiar IBM Executive and Selectric can be considered to be in the low-end of this family; the IBM Composing Selectric was a computer-driven, auto-justifying, high-end system.

Photography & Plate-Making
Gallery Cameras
In the cold-type/offset world, plate-making is a photo-mechanical process, and that requires cameras big enough to make full-page size negatives.
- Lanston Monotype overhead with carbon arc lamps
- Klimsch 1180 with Ascorlux lamps
- Clydesdale 402D with Macbeth lamps
Darkroom equipment
The gallery camera required a darkroom to develop the negatives and
to expose and develop the offset plates.
- timers
- safe lights
- enlarger
- exposure frames
- Robertson 4½′×5½′, 2′×3′
Later, smaller cameras included built-in, semi-automatic darkrooms.

Digital Type
The Museum has recently acquired a couple of Macintosh Plus's, initiating coverage of the new era in composition. Donations of a matching LaserWriter+, older Macs, or software to match would be most appreciated. Donations of current or intervening or prior digital type hardware and software would also be appreciated.

Infinity Ward does not care at all how many people buy Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, the company's creative strategist Robert Bowling tells IGN, to the extent that he says: "we don't care if there are three people playing it or 30 million people playing it. If there are three people having a great time then we've done our job correctly and we will be happy." Of course if that's the case, this happiness will serve them well on the unemployment line, but the point he seems to be making is they are making the game they want to make: "We don't care about sales numbers, we don't care about competition, we don't care about beating anyone. Our 100 per cent focus is making a game that we're going to love to play, that we're going to be proud of, and that we know that our fans are going to play."

Or maybe they are simply unable to sculpt Guts face correctly ? It's not accurate and doesn't look like his face in the manga.The same goes for their Zodd head sculpt.
maybe some of you new already, this was posted month ago on FB from Kelvin Loke: "More photos of the awesome Berserks Guts which P1 has the privilege to work closely with the creator himself, Kentaro Miura.Kentaro valuable inputs to make this not just a statue of Guts but a painting in 3D of Kentaro's ever evolving art style.The impressive base captures the life of Guts as a demon slayer such as the Wolf of Darkness which follows him and the ghosts that hunts him.Kentaro has given his seal of approval to the final design and look that was showcased in wonderfest.Ps the paint job on the prototype shown is not final."
Uh huh, yeah I'm sure what's-his-name is on a first name basis with Miura. I get that you're posting this to back your argument that the statue is an accurate depiction, but I wouldn't make too much of that statement. I'm pretty sure Miura has to greenlight all Berserk merchandise.By the way, it's called the "Beast of Darkness". It's not a wolf (and it doesn't "follow" Guts either).
But I don't think Miura greenlight every shitty Berserk stuff.
BTW Kelvin Loke is not from P1, he just plug for them on FB and is in a deeper connection to them than any of us so I would not wonder too much that he didn't know exaclty what the "beast" is cause he is not too deep into Berserk.
But common it just could be a wolf or maybe a mixture of wolf and fox hahaha.
haha it's ok, it's your opinion
"Anger...Fury...They draw out the armor's power. But... you must never yield everything to them. Make your volition... your pivot of power."Prime 1 Studio is proud to present UPMBR-04: Guts, Berserker Armor from Berserk (Manga). Guts also known as The Black Swordsman is the main protagonist of Berserk. The Berserker Armor is a suit of highly durable armor forged by dwarves. Wearers of the armor are appropriately named Berserkers. This armor imbued with a violent od purposed for drawing out and manifesting its wearers negative emotions. It is eventually entrusted to Guts after Floras spirit tree mansion is invaded by apostles of Griffiths reborn Band of the Hawk. This Ultimate Premium Masterline Berserk series brings to life the popular Japanese dark fantasy comics/manga and crafted with attention to details and true to the original design of the character. The Berserker Armor statue stands at an impressive 37 inches tall with his Dragonslayer sword on the shoulder. This is the ultimate piece for all Berserk fans.Statue features: - Size approx. 37 inches tall with the sword on the shoulder [(H)95cm (W)57cm (D)52cm]- Size approx. 30 inches tall with the sword down [(H)75cm (W)57cm (D)44cm]- One (1) alternate Exclusive portrait (In Exclusive version only)Retail Price: - Regular version: $949 US- Exclusive version: $999 USEdition Size: - Regular version: 1000- Exclusive version: 500Prototype samples shown.Product details could be subjected to change without further notice.
have the black swordsman on pre-order, but sadly i think i am going to pass on the berserker. there is just one too many details off about it for me justify dropping another 1k+, not to mention the considerable amount of space to display/store it, which after collecting for 10+ years have become a precious scarcity for me.gonna save my money/space for the hokuto no ken kenshiro prime 1 teased right before wonderfest summer.
Hope anyone other than me enjoy these
I do! It really looks amazing, the size and the level of detail are impressive. Thanks for sharing these pictures.
Yes, thanks for sharing those pictures.
Now we can have a closer look at how they've fucked up Guts headsculpts and Zodd face.
[...] They don't understand (or care) that people wants something accurate to the original material, and not their own take on the characters.
But I imagine that's P1 "realistic" touch...

So we've had the Pox and survived.
Not without a massive dose of guilt for me though.
T had her jabs nearly two weeks ago. All went well, my brave girl didn't even cry (I think the promise of sweets and a toy helped sooth the pain).
Slept and ate fine, no problems I thought, phew.
3 days later, we woke up and there was a rash. So of course like the techomum that I am, I was straight onto the NHS website looking it up. Ah so a rash is common, oh her cousin had one too you say. All good.
Except the next day, even more spots. No other symptoms, eating fine etc. "No no all is fine" said M, "it's just a reaction".
The next day I am back to work after a week off, get a text from SIL "She won't eat her lunch and has spots on her tongue, going to pop her to walk in centre just to be sure"
2 hours later "She has chicken pox"
Oh god, why didn't I realise, why didn't I get her checked out, why did I let MIL take her to SIL (where there is a 4 week old baby) why this, why that.
Touch wood so far none of the cousins have caught it. She is still on course to go back to pre-school next week. No new spots, no major scarring.
And that my friends is the last time I listen to my husband and ignore my instincts!

How to Remove the Breaker Strips
continued from page 1
Determine whether anything must be removed (such as the control console) before the breaker strips can be removed. Attempt to remove the strip by pulling it away from the freezer case. If that does not work, gently slide a putty knife under the strip. Instead of prying the strip (which may damage the case or strip) slide the knife along the seam, rocking it where necessary to separate the strip. Some breaker strips are held in place with a sealant, which will have to be cut with a utility knife.
If the insulation is damp or has an unpleasant odor, leave the strip off to allow the insulation to dry. You may alternatively use a hair dryer set on low to dry the insulation.
Replace the breaker strip using a food grade sealant as necessary.

We traditionally eat lamb on Easter and it's always the highlight of the meal. Legs of lamb seasoned with garlic and rosemary roasting away in the oven makes the whole house smell festive. The downside is that sometimes, it can take a while for a whole leg to roast.
Butterflied leg of lamb, however, cooks relatively quickly so you can cook it any night, not just on special occasions. And not only that, it is wonderful on the grill. I like to serve this with tzatziki and pita bread.
- 1 butterflied leg of lamb (if it's netted, remove from net and unfold)
- Marinade (see below)
- rock sea salt
- fresh ground pepper
Combine in a bowl:
- 1 cup of red wine (I used leftover beaujolais nouveau)
- 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar (use a cheap one)
- about a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
- 3-4 smashed cloves of garlic
- a 6 inch sprig of fresh oregano
- a 6 inch sprig of fresh rosemary
Marinate lamb in marinade for at least 2 hours up to overnight.
Preheat oven to 475º. Remove lamb from marinade and place into an oiled roasting pan. Season with rock salt and pepper. Place in oven and roast 10 minutes, then flip, season, and roast the other side for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 325º and continue cooking 25-40 minutes more until meat thermometer reaches 170º for medium. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice thinly, on a diagonal, against the grain. Serve with pan juices and/or tzatziki alongside. Serves 6.
(Stefania's tzatziki: 1 7oz tub of plain Greek yogurt; 1 clove of garlic,pressed; 2 Persian cucumbers, grated or 1/2 a regular cucumber, grated; remove skin and seeds and squeeze liquid out of cukes. Combine everything, salt and pepper to taste. If you don't use Greek yogurt you will need to strain your yogurt for several hours by putting it in a cheese cloth and setting it in a strainer to remove as much liquid as possible.)

I cam across this post on the ebay photo chat board and thought it worthy of input from the qualifed users here.
Quick question from someone that know more than I do. I recently found a Century No. 8 studio camera ******* locally. It is in exc+++ condition, and includes the original crank and tilt hubacious stand with it. It has an 8x10 sliding adapter back that allows 2, 8x10 shots on a single sheet. Now for the question. They are asking 800.00 for the camera, 450.00 for the stand. Is this a fair price, a great price, or overpriced. I am looking at moving into 8x10 or larger format. I have made the moves from 35 to 120 to 4x5 to 5x7, and just recently gave up my 5x7 field. I just hate to spend that kind of money on a "whim". Know-whut-I-mean? Thanks for any input. Randy
I may not be in the "qualified user" category, but I'm usually happy to spew out an opinion anyway
Those huge studio view cameras are beautiful. There were a couple I thought seriously of buying myself. But there's a few problems...
They are HUGE and heavy. Forget about shipping...
They usually have no movement, except rise & fall for portrait work.
You need a great area to use or store them.
For strictly studio work, what they are designed for, they would be great to own and use. But they really can't be used for anything else...
The few I've seen on ebay didn't sell. Very few people want them, have the room for them, or can pick them up if they did buy them...
If one goes up within driving distance of me, watch out

If you've got a loft, a beemer, and at least 3 fortune 500 companies as clients, they make great decor.
since it only has a split back, all you can really do is shoot 5x7 on an 8x10 camera (okay 5x8).
Here's a camera that is as much at home out doors as a cello player in a marching band, and you won't look nearly as funny as Woody Allen.
I had an Ansco of the same size. They lady had it in her antique store for years at $600, I got it for $250, with a lens (lousy) but no stand. 5 years later was glad to get rid of it for $150.
First get the studio
Then get the F500 clients
then the Beemer
Then you can think about one of these. But by then you'll realize they really aren't any fun.
You gave up the 5x7 field. Why? Want to move to 8x10? that 5x7 field would do more, do it faster and easier than this camera would
Mckeown's in his 11th edition
"they haunt the basements and attics of old studios, too larger to haul away easily, too combersome form most of today's studio work. But
collectors with unlimited display space, and some users requiring a large format but only limited movements will pay $250-$300 for such an outfit"
Now I was about to say the value may be in the lens. Common lenses like a tessar or even an Wolley Portait lens won't command much more than $100 or so, But a B&L Unar, a Heliar, or better yet a Pinkham and Smith lens might be more than the value of the camera and stand.
I said about, but then I looked at the total price. For $$1250 you can get a nice Deardorff and a 10" WF ektar and your pictures will drop the jaws of all of your friends for miles around.

Post subject:
I have and use a Century #8, and love it. Besides being a handsome and fine piece of hand-crafted woodwork, it is a capable piece of photographic equipment, with good rear tilts and swings. It is not very portable! With the stand you described, it's about the size of a small horse, but with a good set of wheels you can get it outside and set off down the sidewalk. With a long lens (a 42" Artar) and a 5x7 back, I can wheel it out onto my front porch and take a 'close-up' of Mt. Lassen 30 miles away. Bellows draw is about five feet. This one cost me $100 on Ebay plus another $100 for shipping (via Greyhound bus. These cameras were made in a time when one would drive the wagon down to the train station to pick it up.)And the stand came with another purchase costing about the same. I adapted another make of 11x14" back, and have just taken my first 11x14's with it. What an eye-opener an 11x14 contact print is!

Seven students were recognized for their Honors projects during St. Bonaventure University's Honors Ceremony on Saturday, and all received Honors Degrees on Sunday at Commencement. {Learn more about their projects and view slideshows of their presentations at www.sbu.edu/HonorsProjects}
The students and their Honors projects are:
Simone Bernstein, a social entrepreneurship and altruism major from St. Louis, Mo. Her project explored the mindset of Generation Y and how to get them involved in societal change; analyzed the skills necessary to be a social entrepreneur; and presented solutions for a variety of problems facing a social entrepreneur.
Sarah E. Hicks, a philosophy pre-law major from Cassadaga, N.Y. Her project examined the history of appointed legal counsel and considered alternative solutions. She concluded that a system of unbundled legal services may prove to be the most viable option, granting the advantages of assistance from counsel as well as those from reformation of pro se representation procedures.
Amy Jarrell, a special and elementary education major from West Berlin, N.J. She created and implemented lesson plans that focused on the integration of art and mathematics in two elementary classrooms and created a website that included her research on the benefits of art integration, descriptions and printable versions of my lesson plans, student work samples, a chart of the standards used in the lessons, and other resources for elementary school teachers.
Taylor Phillips, a psychology major from Oswego, N.Y. Her project tested the effectiveness of emolabeling — emotional correlates of health (i.e., healthy=happy label, unhealthy=sad label) — to promote healthy food choices in children ages 3 to 11. In all, emolabeling effectively influenced food choices for healthy foods, more so than labeling for taste, social norms, and branding.
Matthew F. Schweiger, a psychology major from Barton. N.Y. His study attempted to clarify the relationship between collegiate sports and deviant behavior by taking into consideration a distinction relatively absent from the literature: club sports. He concluded that the distinction between club teams and division (varsity) teams should be made when examining the relationship between student athletes and substance abuse, but not aggressive behavior.
Faris Zuraikat, a psychology major from Indiana, Pa. His project tested if proximity of a food or preference for a food influences intake in a competitive food environment in which one low-calorie/low-fat (apple slices) and one high-calorie/high-fat (buttered popcorn) food was available in the same environment. The results support the hypothesis that making a low-calorie food more proximate will reduce total energy intake and increase intake of a low-calorie food, even when a higher-calorie and more preferred food is also available, but less proximate.
