ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Carl Froch has always given off an utter sense of confidence, almost bordering on arrogance, and since Showtime's Super Six World Boxing Classic was announced in the summer of 2009, he has said he would win it.
Over and over and over.
Now, after going 2-1 in the group stage bouts and winning a majority decision to retain his super middleweight title in the semifinals against Glen Johnson on Saturday night at the Adrian Phillips Ballroom at Boardwalk Hall, Froch has just one more mountain to climb.
That mountain is Andre Ward, a fellow titleholder who sat ringside as part of Showtime's broadcast team and, no doubt, was scouting his fall opponent in the finale of the tournament that will have taken two years to complete by the time it's over.
"He's a great fighter, an Olympic gold medalist, but it's going to be a totally different kind of fight than this was," Froch said of facing Ward for the big silver trophy, two belts and a lot of money. "[Ward] was a great amateur fighter, I was a great amateur fighter. We're both great professional champions and this was what it is all about. We were original Super Six [participants] and we're in the final."
Indeed, three of the original members of the field -- Mikkel Kessler, Jermain Taylor and Andre Dirrell -- all withdrew, citing injuries. But Froch and Ward, despite hard roads, are the last men standing.
"I think that this [final] was what we all felt like was supposed to happen -- me, Froch and Showtime," Ward said. "We were the original two fighters in [the semifinals]. We both endured the hardships along the way. From a selling standpoint, this is a bigger fight [than Ward-Johnson]. The fight Froch and Johnson fought was how I thought it would be, and I'm looking forward to getting into the finals against Froch."
Froch (28-1, 20 KOs), who drew a small but vocal group of supporters from his native England to cheer him on among the 2,286 in attendance, did what he usually does in beating Johnson to get to the final: He outworked him in a hard-hitting fight.
Although judge Nobuaki Uratani of Japan scored it 114-114, the other judges seemed more on the mark with scores of 117-111 and 116-112 for Froch. ESPN.com also had it for Froch, 117-111.
Johnson, a 42-year-old former light heavyweight champion who dropped down to join the field after Kessler withdrew, put up a very credible performance -- as he always does -- but Froch was just too fresh, too quick and displayed a superb chin.
Johnson (51-15-2, 35 KOs) landed several bombs, but not only did Froch take them without budging, he would immediately return fire with four- and five-punch combinations.
He definitely earned Johnson's respect.
"I've seen him take some big punches from other fighters, but I really thought when I hit him I would get more results," Johnson said. "The thing that threw me off was he was able to take the shots and come right back and throw big shots and combinations.
"He certainly has one of the better chins. Most guys, when I hit them clean, I get good results."
In the seventh round, for example, Johnson rocked Froch with two right hands. But Froch walked through the shots and unloaded a flurry in return.
The same thing happened again in the eighth round, probably the most action-packed of the fight.
Although one judge had the fight a draw, Johnson did not argue the result.
"It was a close fight, but I can't argue with the decision," Johnson said. "My corner was telling me I was falling behind. I took myself out of the fight by just throwing hard punches. I wanted to land bigger punches and I got greedy, but I knew that Carl Froch would be that kind of fighter. I got into a slugging match and I was supposed to box. I got out of my game plan.
"I was able to hit him, but I got greedy. I started coming in on the inside and he was able to take my best punches. That surprised me."
Although Johnson is no spring chicken, and has now lost two of his last three (including a light heavyweight title bout to Tavoris Cloud last August), he said he is not necessarily done.
"I feel like this was the kind of fight that fans wants to see," he said. "If fans want to keep seeing me fight, I will keep fighting. I fell out of my game plan. That happens to the best of everyone. That doesn't mean I am finished. It just means I will come back better."
He found his experience in the tournament -- a knockout win against Allan Green and the loss to Froch -- a positive one.
"I had a chance to box against two of the better super middleweights in the world and compete well, after coming down from 175," Johnson said. "I still believe I can do some damage in this weight class. I am still here and ready to compete."
While Johnson ponders his next move, Froch knows he is facing Ward. But he still took time to give Johnson his props for a tough fight.
"He was very tough. He's very strong, like an oak tree," Froch said. "I started off slow, but toward the end I was throwing more punches. I thought I won the fight easily. I don't know what that other judge was watching. But, yes, I could feel his shots. He's a real tough guy."
Johnson's best success came early in the fight. Johnson tagged Froch with powerful jabs and also bounced some hard right hands off his chin and head. But as the fight wore on, Froch found his rhythm in a fight with many exciting exchanges.
"Carl Froch is one of the most underrated fighters in the world," said Lou DiBella, Johnson's co-promoter. "Great chin, great footwork, straight punches. I think he is a tremendous technical fighter, he has huge b---s and a tremendous chin. And he rumbles when he has to.
"I think the fact that he's not a TV star in the U.K. means that there's something wrong with the guys making the decisions over there. He adjusts great. He adjusted against Glen like a champion is supposed to adjust."
Froch's ability to adjust after Johnson's early success was pivotal.
"I was trying to knock him out at the beginning with power shots and it wasn't working," said Froch, 33. "And then I changed my game plan and was moving around and hitting him with more shots."
But will Froch be able to do adjust yet again to the more technically gifted Ward (23-0, 13 KOs), a 2004 Olympic gold medalist who has not been tested in any of his tournament bouts?
Froch, with that ultimate confidence, did not hesitate.
"We are gonna win," he said. "Me and my trainer [Robert McCracken] have the formula, and [Ward] will find out the formula when we box. This is what it's all about."

Look out for 'marked' Milbert's Tortoiseshell Butterflies
Ross Layberry, one of three authors of The Butterflies of Canada, recently released over 100 Milbert's Tortoiseshell butterflies on his property near Fitzroy Harbour. He reared them from a nest of larvae which he collected near Cornwall on May 10. Each has been marked on the underside, in the centre of the hind wing, with a small spot of white.
He would appreciate you keeping a lookout for these marked butterflies over the next couple of months. There is no need to capture the butterflies, just note if you see one with a white spot at the centre of the underside of the hind wing, and the coordinates or location of your sighting. If you see a marked Milbert's Tortoiseshell butterfly, please contact Ross by email at:

Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists Conducts Ash Tree Survey in Almonte Ward
As many know now, the invasion of Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilis planipennis) in the Ottawa area is decimating all of the area's ash trees. Thousands have now died in Ottawa and the invasion is moving our way. Prediction is that we will lose all of our ash trees in ten years.
In order to begin planning and budgeting to cut and replace our local ash trees, the Town of Mississippi Mills Public Works has asked MVFN to assist by conducting a survey of all ash trees on municipal property in Almonte Ward. MVFN has already surveyed all of the parks and other public lands in the municipality and this Saturday, August 16th , the town streets will be done.
Using a blitz format, teams of three or four will fan out to designated sections and count every ash tree on public streets, estimating size and condition. They will not be counting trees on private property nor on the County of Lanark roads passing through town. The blitz begins at 8:30 am with team members assembling in the parking lot at Equator Coffee. Team members are MVFN members who have already registered for the event.
For more information, please contact Cliff Bennett, 613-256-5013 or email at
Calling all volunteers for 'The Great Ash Tree Survey Blitz'!
Saturday morning, August 16, 2014
If you can identify an ash tree, we need you!
MVFN will conduct a survey of approximate location and number of ash trees around Almonte Ward streets for the Town of Mississippi Mills Public Works department, as they prepare to deal with Emerald Ash Borer. Earlier this spring, MVFN conducted a similar survey of trees located within municipal parks in Almonte.
Meet at the Equator Coffee parking lot in Almonte, 8:30 am. We will divide into teams and the work should take no more than two hours. Please bring a clip board.
If you can help with the survey, please register with Cliff Bennett at 613-256-5013 or .

Where To Start with Experts and More
6 Benefits of Outsourcing to an SEO Company
Many firms are now redesigning their activities after discovering that they cannot survive without SEO. A few have taken measures to expand their IT departments, and many have outsourced SEO to independent firms of experts. Though the two approaches have the potential to yield positive returns; outsourcing will lead to the 6 advantages listed next.
Handling SEO matters is now very tricky because you may have to deal with the effects of a search engine update, the moment you think things have settled down. An in-house team of IT experts cannot keep up with the changes due to the limited exposure to the market changes and the fact that they could be immersed in other tasks. An outside firm of SEO experts has all the time to research the industry and offer to you solutions that are up-to-date.
Your digital marketing expenditure will be constant as long as you hire an SEO firm. You will now be able to plan ahead your finances and evaluate the effectiveness of the SEO expert by comparing costs and results.
It is cheaper to outsource SEO services than to operate an entire department of IT experts. It will, for instance, be necessary to hire the best professionals, equip them appropriately, and furnish their working environments. On the other hand, the fees to an outside firm are fixed and can be terminated conveniently.
If you hire an outside SEO company, the quality of content on your website will always be high. The outside firm will not reveal the writer of such content and users will assume that it is you who has written it. An in-house team of employees cannot come up with such content, which may compromise your website's rankings.An outside firm will only use the ranking methods that are allowed by search engines. Your website will never suffer penalties if white-hat techniques are used in rankings. Since your in-house employees may not be well-versed with SEO matters and may use forbidden ranking tactics that may not yield the effects you desire.
You are a client but not an employer of an outside firm, so the company will work hard to retain your business in the future. In fact, the company will want you to renew the contract for a prolonged period and post positive comments and reviews wherever you can. You will not even be necessary to monitor the company's work performance since the ranking of your site will reveal it all. With in-house employees, you may not get the best outcome since their salary is mandatory whether they produce results or not.

10 Reasons to Get a Flu Shot
You Can Spread the Flu Even If You Don't Get Sick
According to Harvard School of Public Health, 20 to 30 percent of people who carry the influenza virus never experience flulike symptoms. Yet it's still contagious. "Young, healthy people especially need to get vaccinated because they often get infected and never know it," Schaffner says. "Either their symptoms are mild or they have none at all, so they're out there inadvertently spreading the virus to others — girlfriends, coworkers, even people at gym." If any of those people have a weaker immune system than you — or if they're simply not as lucky — they could get hit hard with symptoms even though you never did. "No one wants to be a flu spreader," Schaffner says. "Get vaccinated and be a flu preventer instead."

Vernon Dursley. – Harry Potter's muggle uncle, married to his Aunt Petunia and father of Dudley Dursley. .
Petunia Dursley. – Harry's aunt, the sister of his mother Lily. Married to Vernon Dursley and mother of Dudley Dursley.
Dudley Dursley. – Muggle son of Vernon Dursley and Petunia Evans, first cousin of Harry Potter.
And to quote uncle Vernon Dursley:. "No wonder this country is gone to the dogs"
"He's a sack of fat lard. And does not deserve to live. Sorry not sorry." Becca on Vernon Dursley.

did you jus inadvertently quote Vernon Dursley from Harry Potter the philosophers stone
Birthdays on Sunday's aren't as good as others because in the words of Vernon dursley "No Post On Sunday!"
For me, Harry Potter is like the gateway to fandoms. You start reading the books and then all of a sudden, you sing along to 'I wanna be the very best- gotta catch 'em all!', get weirdly fascinated with batman, realises you have a sonic screw driver, you start to describe things as legendary, you start off a conversation with 'How youuu doin'?', you know salt can ward off almost anything supernatural, you get obsessed with sherlock's intelligence, you get goosebumps when you hear "I AM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS!", you can make make proper sense out of 'Do or Do not. There is no try', you can totally pull off 'Live Long and Prosper.' and you don't know what happened, but you're pretty sure all of this started because Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Dursley of No.4, Privet Drive were proud to say that they were normal, thank you very much. :)
if the battle of Hogwarts was on 2 may 1998, how could Vernon dursley drive a 2008 Vauxhall Vectra. now that's magic
Now the tie breaker.. it consists of 3 questions and the one who answers all 3 ques in one comment first wins! 1.What was the first sign of "insanity" observed by vernon dursley the day after the dark lord vanished? 2. When did the Battle Of Hogwarts happened? 3. What was the main reason behind the failure of S.P.E.W. in freeing the house elves from the Hogwarts kitchen ? Time-3 minutes Best of luck. ~PatronusKing
Ever hear one of those fan theories that blows your mind? Harry Potter actually went to St. Brutus's due to the emotional effect of being in a car with his dead parents after the accident. He created Hogwarts as a coping mechanism. He never left the Dursley's house, he just stayed under the stairs. He slays Voldimort in the end of the final movie and the screen shows his face with the school in the background. The school fades into 4 Privet Drive and he's standing over Vernon Dursley's dead body, holding a wooden stake, covered in blood. He quietly whispers to himself, "You're a wizard, Harry."
A wizard am I lyrics [HAGRID] [spoken] O', 'arry Potter [sung/spoken] Many years I 'ave waited For this birthday o' yours to appear Why, I predict Dumbledor Could make you 'is favorite student of all!

So been watching Will and Grace on love film. I only ever saw the odd episode when it aired on channel 4. Now I'm on the last season and I'm gonna sad when it ends. I love all the characters and it's had some awesome guest stars. Including the one and only Seth Green. And Willy Wonka himself yes you guessed it. Gene Wilder. Another one of my fave guests has to be John Cleese. If Stanley Walker had of been seen on screen the perfect actor to play him would of been the late Richard Griffths. Better known for his role as Vernon Dursley in the Harry Potter films.
"And when I had just graduated from university, I was going out with this boy, Vernon Dursley, he was fat and he was the only boy who would talk to me. And he said he wanted children, and that his first son would be named Dudley. And I thought to myself, what kind of parent names their child Dudley Dursley?" Ça commence très très bien, HPMoR :D ( )
You know, I wouldn't mind TWO deliveries being late, if my livelihood didn't depend on it.. P.S: I know there's no post on Sunday, Vernon Dursley, stop reminding me!
As you may have noted, I'm working my way through the Harry Potter books at the moment. One thing occurred to me a few days ago. I don't think Vernon Dursley and Severus Snape ever met, so how do you think they would have gotten along if they had met? On the one hand, they do have one thing in common -- neither one of them cares for Harry all that much On the other hand, Snape *is* a wizard, and we know how Vernon feels about them. So, would they get along well or not?
There's a man on this train that looks like Vernon Dursley.
Vernon Dursley: Do you know what's so great about Snowdays, Dudley? Dudley Dursley: (Speechless) Harry Potter: No post on Snowdays? Vernon Dursley: Right you are, Harry. No post on Snowdays! Ha!
My board didn't come and there's no post on Sundays. I blame you, Vernon Dursley.
Uncle Vernon Dursley and Cliff Clavin are both in Superman II.
Just got an email that the boy's basketball game at Otsego is still on for 10:20am today. They said it will only be canceled if either Wood or Lucas County goes to Level 3 snow emergency. I guess Level 2, indicating you should only drive if it is absolutely necessary, isn't enough. Ridiculous. And in the words of Vernon Dursley, "He will not be going!"
You know THAT feeling you get when someone is staring at you from across the room? Well I was at Becks cafè when I suddenly felt that tingely feeling :P And I looked to my left, and who do I see staring at me with hate in his eyes? Wait for it. A (Uncle) Vernon Dursley lookalike at the next table X3 And he was sitting together with a blond, horsefaced, stuck up looking woman that remimded me eerily about Petunia. And they kept looking over at me X3 So I couldn't help my self, so I said kinda loudly to my friend; "I'm that special kind of freak you know ;) HA HA HA X3 Made my day! ~Harry- the special kind of freak XD
All Harry could do now was look at the floor. It seemed impossible to bring his eyes to look around him, or Merlin forbid, at the redheaded girl sitting across from him at the table. A stone bowl sat between them, covered in runes and a silvery substance that flowed softly over its edges. The two of them sat in silence, Harry gathering his thoughts, Ginny letting him come to her when he was ready. He looked up, but only briefly, as if catching her attention then being unable to look at her. "Ginny...after I show you all of these..." He gestured to the three vials full of silvery threads in front of him,"...I don't want anything to change between us. I don't want you to think of me any different, or treat me any differently. I just want you to know because I think you need to." She bit her lip in a characteristic display of emotional turmoil. "Harry...you know I can't promise that. I promise that I won't think any less of you, and I won't love you any less, but you can't expect me to forget about what you ...
It's starting to get hard think about how Harry Potter actors are starting to pass away. I mean barty crouch sr (roger Lloyd-pack) and Vernon dursley (Richard Griffiths) have both passed on. It's hard to think that the main actors we've grown up with and had in our lives because of an incredible film franchise are no longer alive. Sorry that was my geeky moment of the day. You're welcome.
Hard to watch a movie with Vernon Dursley in it and have to like him.
i wish Vernon Dursley had confronted three Death Eaters with a shotgun in defense of Harry and the family. would've been …
the guy who played Vernon Dursley died last year? well *** :(
"I'm not having one in the house, Petunia! Didn't we swear when we took him in we'd stamp out that dangerous nonsense?" —Vernon Dursley refusing that Harry was a wizard
According to Sorcerers Stone, what firm is Vernon Dursley the director of? a)Gruntings b)Grunnings c)Grinnings
Movie descriptions using other characters the actors have played. Captain jack sparrow is sent to Sleepy Hollow to solve a couple of murders. There he meets up with Wednesday addams, emperor palpatine, professor dumbledore, Vernon dursley , ed Rooney and johnny Rico.
So not only did uncle Phil die but uncle Vernon Dursley died last year as well. Are no uncles safe anymore?

Superman 2 (1980). Awesome classic. :) I didn't know Uncle Vernon Dursley of Harry Potter was in here. He's so young in this film, like in his 30s. :)
Epic bits of Harry Potter CoS •Vernon Dursley. Just love him. The way he talks, jumps up out of bed, falls out a window. Excellent. •The look on Ginny Weasley's face when she sees Harry at the breakfast table. •Harry slapping the closed portal to track 9 3/4. •Ron's face when they are trying to catch up to the Hogwarts Express..."We must be close". Cracks me up every time. •Snape's crazy finger as he is pointing at Harry and Ron. •Every single scene with Lockhart. • The look on the Sorting Hats "face" when Harry tells him he was wrong. •Ron spitting up slugs. •Dobby. •The sink in the Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. •Moaning Myrtle. Just love her. •Lucius Malfoy getting his comeuppance. •What does the Fawkes say...jk. Seriously, Fawkes. •Madame Humphries. She reminds me of a cupcake. •Hermione running through the Great Hall to greet Harry and Ron. Warm fuzzies. •The fact that we only see this particular Tom Riddle once.
Notable deaths of 2013: Paul Walker, Roger Ebert, George Jones, Edith from Archie Bunker, Margaret Thatcher, Jonathan Winters, Dear Abbie, Hugo Chavez, Vernon Dursley from Harry Potter, Helen Thomas (the White House correspondent for the Clintons), Tom Clancy, Lou Reed, Nelson Mandela, Peter O'Toole from Lawrence of Arabia... and many more- Very sad to see them go. I hope 2014 is better than 2013 was!
How did I miss that Richard Griffiths-(Uncle Vernon Dursley) from Harry Potter had died this year in May? Makes me sad:(
Almost as though this thought had fluttered through the open window, Vernon Dursley, Harry's uncle, suddenly spoke. 'Glad to see the boy's stopped trying to butt in. Where is he, anyway? 'I don't know,' said Aunt Petunia, unconcerned. 'Not in the house.' Uncle Vernon grunted. 'Watching the news...' he said scathingly. 'I'd like to know what he's really up to. As if a normal boy cares what's on the news - Dudley hasn't got a clue what's going on; doubt he knows who the Prime Minister is! Anyway, it's not as if there'd be anything about his lot on our news -. 'Vernon, shh!' said Aunt Petunia. 'The window's open!'
Did anybody notice Richard Griffiths (Vernon Dursley from Harry Potter) died this year?!
I am feeling fat, and ugly, and grumpy today. In other words, I am Vernon Dursley.
Everyones mourning Paul Walker and im just sitting here still crying over the actor who played Vernon Dursley dying.
RIP Richard Griffiths (aka: Mr. Vernon Dursley) ; Joan Fontaine ; Jack Klugman ; Jonathan Winters ; and Annette Funicello. TCM ran their "TCM Remembers" ad and I was surprised and caught off guard by a couple of the names. Thought maybe others might like to know if a fondly thought of actor had passed as well. This is by no means the full list - just the ones that surprised.
So, who's your favorite? Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore? Whiz-kid spellcaster Hermione Granger? The massive Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds? Or Professor of Transfiguration Minerva McGonagall? Or maybe you like Harry Potter the best. If you do, you're not alone. Kids all over the world (and adults, too!) love Harry Potter and the books that tell of his adventures. THE BOY WIZARD Maybe you haven't read Harry Potter's adventures. If not, then let's quickly introduce him. Harry Potter is an unhappy 11-year-old. He lives with his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon Dursley and their awful son Dudley. Harry doesn't know it, but he's a wizard! His mother was a witch and his father was a wizard. Both died fighting the evil wizard Voldemort when Harry was just a baby. Harry was hidden with the unmagical Dursleys to protect him from Voldemort. Harry's adventures begin when he is accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There, he meets adults like Headmaster Albus Dumbledore ...
"Your mum's just looking for something in the cupboard under the stairs. We haven't locked her in it though" ...well thanks for clearing that up, Dad aka Vernon Dursley
Vernon Dursley is sitting across the train from me. He's a Dallas Cowboys fan. I'd say Boston is a magical city because of this but his fits of anger are scary.

So Richard Griffiths(aka Vernon Dursley in the HP movies) died in March, only found out about it now. Belated RIP, his scenes were small but hilarious...
3. Help yourself and de-stress when necessary. If Vernon Dursley would have relieved his stress properly, he might not have punished Harry so much as a child. But then again, he spoiled his own son, Dudley. It seems as though stress is not the reason why the Dursleys treated Harry unfairly, but more because of their hatred for Harry's parents.
A postman just came to my door and gave me my post. Have I lost track of what day it is or did I get post on sunday? Vernon Dursley would have a fit.
the busy Grunnings world of Uncle Vernon Dursley
Have had so many packages delivered this week at stupid o'clock in the morning for Christmas I felt like Vernon Dursley getting into bed, NO POST ON SUNDAYS!
The man who played uncle Vernon Dursley in Harry Potter died in March and I just found out now. :/
So, it's pouring rain outside, thunder and lighting and all...and Vernon Dursley blows a hole in the roof without so much as a slow drip getting in. Looks like important details didn't just get left out from the books...
The Weasleys, Harry and Hermione were all stood quietly in the kitchen of the Burrow. Normally the house would be full of laughter and loud conversation, but today they all stood around waiting. Today was the funerals of Petunia and Vernon Dursley. Hermione and Mrs Weasley had gone into muggle London the day before to buy everyone clothes for the ceremony. No one other than Hermione had attended a muggle funeral before so she had picked out black suits and dresses for everyone to wear. After the war there had been a lot of funerals to attend, but wizard funerals were a lot different and no one really knew what to expect. Harry felt like he'd been to enough funerals recently to last him a life time. He'd attended every funeral of the victims of the battle of Hogwarts. It was something that he'd had to do. He had to remember the life's of all those who had sacrificed themselves to help him protect the world they lived in. 'Hermione dear, could you help me with this tie please?' Mr Weasley asked, attem ...
I was thinking 'I wonder if that stuff I ordered will come today' and had to go all Vernon Dursley on myself because it's Sunday isn't it, and what does that mean?
Alfred the butler, Emperor Palpetine, Albus Dumbledore, Vernon Dursley in the same movie... NAME IT!
Just seen a lookalike of Vernon Dursley.
everyone's getting their acceptance letters for university... i'll just pretend my mean uncle Vernon Dursley is trying to hide it from me...
could this be Uncle Vernon Dursley reincarnated ?
The fact the Vernon Dursley is dead still really upsets me.
That awkward moment when you realize Albus Dumbledore and Vernon Dursley were also in the movie Sleepy Hollow.
While watching Harry Potter I realized how incredibly insane Vernon Dursley really is. In order to prevent Harry from getting a letter he buys an island in the middle of some ocean for them to live on. Who does that?
Vernon Dursley: "I WILL NOT PAY FOR SOME CRACKPOT OLD FOOL TO TEACH HIM MAGIC TRICKS!" Hagrid: "NEVER INSULT Albus Dumbledore IN FRONT OF ME!" Me:"Hagrid can i hurt him" Hargrid:"no joshua i sorry as much as i want to you can do majgic outside of school"
Maybe a bit late and not as good as the others and also not strictly HP themed, but he has a moustache and Vernon Dursley also has a moustache, so. Here's Alistair. (thanks to Jess for pic :-) )
32 years ago today, Lily and James Potter were living in hiding with their one year old son Harry. Everyday they were scared for their lives, but they were as happy as one in that situation can be. 32 years ago today, a trusted man betrayed two of his best friends, resulting in one spending 12 years wrongly accused in Azkaban Prison and the other and his wife dead, their one year old son orphaned and forced to live with his only living relatives, his aunt, uncle, and cousin who treated him like he was nothing and tried to hide from him what he really was. 32 years ago, a cat sat outside a muggle house, reading a map. Flocks of owls were seen flying in broad daylight everywhere. Muggles noticed people in strange clothing and cloaks gathering in Kent. A little wizard wearing a purple robe hugged Vernon Dursley. And there was a whisper. A whisper about the Potters, Lily, James, and their son Harry. 32 years ago on a Wednesday, Petunia Dursley went out to get the milk, and screamed when she got the shock of h ...
At this point 32 years ago Vernon Dursley was getting sternly glared at by a cat.
I dont know what all the fuss is about, i think that Mercedes will get on just fine without Vernon Dursley
Watching sleepy hallow for the first time. And Idk if anyone else noticed it but the guy who played Vernon dursley ( Harry Potter's uncle) is in it. Lol surprised I caught that since I'm so tired.

Watching Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow and it is sooo weird seeing Vernon Dursley, Dumbledore, and other Harry Potter peeps! The weirdest is seeing Rita Skeeter as the main bad character!!!
Pretty sure I was told this when I wanted a phone..."Why? So you can send secret messages to your freaky little friends?" -Vernon Dursley ⚡
When walking to work and seeing grown adults wearing onesies in public, I feel how I can only imagine Vernon Dursley felt seeing all the witches and wizards wearing cloaks on his commute. Except, instead of actually being witches and wizards, they're just ***
OK, so I'm once again reading the Harry Potter series. Being the kind of nerd who has lost track of just how many times I have read it through, I am picking up on little story points; details that are ultimately inconsequential to the plot of any particular book, let alone the series as a whole. For example: in chapter 3, "Letters from No One" while Vernon Dursley is driving the family around, trying to escape the Hogwarts letters, Dudley says, "It's Monday. The Great Humberto's on tonight. I want to stay somewhere with a television." And I ask myself, just what kind of show IS The Great Humberto? It sounds like the name of a magician, exactly the kind of thing Vernon and Petunia would categorically ban from their household. What sort of program was Rowling envisioning when she thought up that name? Or am I just getting too involved?!?
I wish Vernon Dursley would lock me in my room and tell me I can't go back to school.
"When, in due course, Vernon Dursley proposed marriage, very correctly, on one knee in his mother's sitting room, Petunia accepted at once. The one fly in her delicious ointment was the fear of what her new fiancé would make of her sister, who was now in her final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Vernon was apt to despise even people who wore brown shoes with black suits; what he would make of a young woman who spent most of her time wearing long robes and casting spells, Petunia could hardly bear to think. She confessed the truth during a tear-stained date, in Vernon's dark car as they sat overlooking the chip shop where Vernon had just bought them a post-cinema snack. Vernon, as Petunia had expected, was deeply shocked; however, he told Petunia solemnly that he would never hold it against her that she had a freak for a sister, and Petunia threw herself upon him in such violent gratitude that he dropped his battered sausage." - Pottermore ~Xeno
Why does the actor who plays Vernon Dursley look so much like Grover Cleveland?
R.I.P to Richard Griffiths who plays Vernon Dursley, Harry Potters uncle...
RIP Richard Griffiths. No one could have played Vernon Dursley better than you.
RIP Richard Griffiths..you are the only person who could have played Vernon Dursley
Please raise your wands and lets pay out respects to the man who brought Vernon Dursley to life. RIP Richard Griffiths.
And it's a pity Richard Griffiths was already Vernon Dursley because he'd've made a perfect Slughorn.
Does anyone here think that Vernon Dursley could, in fact, give a Dementor the ol' one-two? -Royal
It's Vernon Dursley and Milton Bradley. I like Boyd too. It should've been his first name, IMO, cuz it fits.
I like Boyd though! Or at least I'm used to it? Idk. Mostly I just associate Vernon with Vernon Dursley, so.
Does anyone else think the actor who plays Arthur Weasley is starting to look like Vernon Dursley?
My humanities teacher looks like Vernon Dursley from Harry Potter. LOL!

I still want to know what the punchline was for Vernon Dursley's Japanese golfer joke. What happened at the ninth hole?!
I wish I had a chin like Vernon Dursley's
Even though i know there is no mail on sundays (Vernon Dursley taught me that when i was 6). i will wait anyway.
Petunia Dursley: You know the saying you never know what you have got until its gone? well there could be no truer words ever spoken to describe Petunias feelings when harry left for the last time. she knew they had to move...to be safe and she thought she would be relieved to have him away from her family...but she wasn't, it was as if harry being there numbed the pain of loosing lily, like cos she had harry right there she didnt think about the loss of her sister, but when harry was gone it hit her...it hit her like a ton of bricks. and for the first time in all of harrys life, she realised she actually loved the boy, and she realised just how much she loved her sister. Petunia live on edge all throughout her time in hiding, Vernon gave up trying to talk to her, he just put her reaction down to "being a woman" . she was terrified for harry. but when the war was over she still could never muster up the courage to tell harry how she felt about him and how sorry she was.

In late 1977, Lily Evans and James Potter had a disastrous first meeting with Petunia and her then-fiancé, Vernon Dursley.

Vernon Dursley singing to the biscuit he dropped 'the one that got away'
Petunia and Vernon HC :D "Wingarrdium levioosaa" whispered Petunia, waving the twig she had picked up. She had escaped the "F.O.L.D" (fussing over Lily day) by going to the park. Lily was leaving for her "special school" in two days for her sixth year and the usual bout of jealousy had washed over Petunia. If her sister could do magic, why couldn't she? She threw the twig down in frustration. "What were you tryna do?" said a voice from behind her. She spun round to see a dashing young man who had neat light brown hair and the sweetest smile. "I was trying to levitate that leaf by magic," she replied. "You know, for fun because magic obviously doesn't exist," she added hastily, avoiding eye contact. Raising an eyebrow, he said "why don't you try that again?" Confused, she picked up the twig and whispered the words her sister had told her about. The leaf rose slowly, held by the lad opposite her. She giggled, while he smiled sweetly. Petunia stared at him for a while before ...

It's curtains for Oscar. In the words of Harry Potter's Uncle, Vernon Dursley -->
NO cards are you serious? I must be either unloved or my dads turned into Vernon Dursley over night and is hiding them
I'm reading JK Rowling's adult novel The Casual Vacancy. First thing I noticed is that in the first few chapters, her characters use all the basic dirty words which nobody in Harry Potter's world (except perhaps Vernon Dursley, off-stage) could ever utter. Next thing I noticed is that early on, a character dies OF NATURAL CAUSES. That's a very adult-novel thing to happen.
Headcannons 8. Vernon Dursley never liked Harry, but he couldnt help being amazed. Sure, he hated magic, wizards, witches, and all that other stupid crazed stuff. But sometimes he would lie in bed at night and wonder. Wonder if magic really was possible. Wonder why he couldnt do it. He hated himself for thinking these things, and always pushed them quickly out of his mind afterwards. However, his mind often drifted back to the magical boy living in his house. And he wished, so badly, that he could do it too. That thing called magic. ~DraMione~

Marjorie Eileen Dursley is the older sister of Vernon Dursley. Although no blood relation of Harry Potter, he has been taught to call her 'Aunt Marge'. Marge is a large and unpleasant woman whose main interest in life is breeding bulldogs. She believes in corporal punishment and plain speaking, which is what she calls being offensive. Marge is secretly in love with a neighbour called Colonel Fubster, who looks after her dogs when she is away. He will never marry her, due to her truly horrible personality. This unrequited passion fuels a lot of her nasty behaviour to other people. Marge dotes on Dudley, her only nephew. She does not know that Harry Potter, who lives with her relatives, is a wizard. She believes him to be the offspring of two unemployed layabouts who dumped their son on their hardworking relatives, Vernon and Petunia. The latter, who are terrified of the prejudiced and outspoken Marge finding out the truth, have fostered this impression over many years. When Harry becomes angry with Aun ...

Major petrol pump operators, mostly in South India, have denounced their participation to keep petrol pumps closed on Sundays. The government slammed a section of petroleum pump association saying that such closure of petrol pumps by a small section of dealers will lead to inconvenience to general public. The Petroleum Ministry in a series of tweets said, "Major dealer's federations have clarified that they don't endorse any closure of petrol pumps on any day".
On the issue of the Prime Ministers call on saving fuel, the Ministry tweeted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his radio address 'Mann Ki Baat' had appealed not to use fuel once a week and not to dealers to close their pumps on Sundays. "Hon PM in MannKiBaat appealed to People of India not to use fuel once a week & not to dealers to close their pumps on Sundays", the Petroleum Ministry tweet said. These tweets were, however, retweeted by Union Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
The clarification of Prime Minister's appeal for saving fuel comes after the Consortium of Indian Petroleum Dealers claimed that they are planning to keep petrol pump shut on Sundays after Prime Minister's appeal of not using fuel for a day and claimed that this move would conserve fuel.Read More…

A Great Way to Release Tension Through Your Pressure Points
Some weeks are longer than others, and the stress produced during those weeks can accumulate and secure tension in different parts of the body. Overtime, those spots of tension can become knots, which may overtime need a professional to undo and heal. Release that tension and reduce your stress levels yourself. Try practicing applied pressure to the trigger points on the body to avoid built up tension.

· Most important is that you implore God alone. [19:48] "I will abandon you and the gods you worship besides GOD. I will worship only my Lord. By imploring my Lord alone, I cannot go wrong."
When should we implore God?
· Implore God in good times as well as bad times (21:90)
· God sends adversity and hardship because He wants us to implore Him. [6:42] We have sent (messengers) to communities before you, and we put them to the test through adversity and hardship, that they may implore.
· Be mindful not to implore Him only during times of adversity. God tells us this is a human trait. [10:12] When adversity touches the human being, he implores us while lying down, or sitting, or standing up. But as soon as we relieve his adversity, he goes on as if he never implored us to relieve any hardship! The works of the transgressors are thus adorned in their eyes.
· Really we must remember and implore Him all the time—when we get up, when we wash, when we eat, when we talk with others, all through our day.
· Many of the verses with the word "implore" also have "forgive" in them. It must be very important to implore God for forgiveness. [4:106] You shall implore GOD for forgiveness. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
Sometimes we implore, and God doesn't seem to answer our prayer. It may be that we're imploring for things which are bad for us. [17:11] The human being often prays for something that may hurt him, thinking that he is praying for something good. The human being is impatient. (Also 2:216.) Maybe our car didn't start because had we left at that time we would have been in an accident. God knows while we do not know.
In the January 1996 issue of Submitter's Perspective, there's an article ("Implore God with the Best Prayers") by an unnamed author (living in a country where printing their name might have been dangerous to them)
that addresses this same issue in a concise way, including many prayers from the Quran to help us find the words to implore God.
The most important thing is to remember to implore God alone, and to do so as often as we can.
[55:29-30] Imploring Him is everyone in the heavens and the earth. Every day He is in full control. Which of your Lord's marvels can you deny?
* * * * *
There is a common belief among many cultures and societies that humans who have died are somehow watching over their loved ones who remain on earth. Even in today's technological society you can hear things like "Your dad was watching over you" or "Mother must be turning over in her grave to hear you say that".
Sometimes this belief goes even farther into veneration and outright worship of ones ancestors, but often it is just a "comforting thought" that our dear departed family members and friends are still there with us in some manner.
While the bonds of love may not be broken by the departure from this earthly realm, the Quran is quite definite that actual contact is broken. The clearest statement of this is in 23:99-100
The Dead Never Come Back Until the Day of Resurrection
When death comes to one of them, he says, "My Lord, send me back. I will then work righteousness in everything I left." Not true. This is a false claim that he makes. A barrier will separate his soul from this world until resurrection.
The argument has been made that verses 23:99-100 refer only to the disbelievers, since the one being discussed is a disbeliever. However we have other examples in the Quran showing that the righteous also lose contact with this world.
In 5:117 God is speaking with Jesus on the Day of Resurrection and Jesus responds in part with: "… I was a witness among them for as long as I lived with them. When You terminated my life on earth, You became the Watcher over them. You witness all things."
And in 36:26-27 the believing Egyptian appears to wish he could tell his people of his blessings at death: (At the time of his death) he was told, "Enter Paradise." He said, "Oh, I wish my people knew that my Lord has forgiven me, and made me honorable."
There has long been a Christian tradition, especially among non-Protestants, of praying to Jesus or Mary or the saints. It is not clear if the Bible condemns this practice, but the Quran certainly does:
The Dead Prophets and Saints
[16:20-21] As for the idols they set up beside GOD, they do not create anything; they themselves were created. They are dead, not alive, and they have no idea how or when they will be resurrected.
[35:14] If you call on them, they cannot hear you. Even if they hear you, they cannot respond to you. On the Day of Resurrection, they will disown you. None can inform you like the Most Cognizant.
So it is especially ironic that many Muslims pray to the saints, or believe that the righteous family members of the prophets can help them in some manner. And many go to Medina to pray to Muhammad, though even when alive, he could not help them:
[7:188] Say, "I have no power to benefit myself, or harm myself. Only what GOD wills happens to me. If I knew the future, I would have increased my wealth, and no harm would have afflicted me. I am no more than a warner, and a bearer of good news for those who believe."
[10:49] Say, "I possess no power to harm myself, or benefit myself; only what GOD wills takes place." Each community has a predetermined life span. Once their interim

My brother and I have never been close– he was physically abusive when I was 17 and I now generally see him only on Christmas to maintain the peace– but my mom recently shared some news with me earlier this week and I'm not sure how to process it.
My brother is 28, miserably unhappy with work, and has very unhealthy/dangerous habits. He's dating a 19 year old and has a ring purchased and an elaborate proposal planned for October. They've been dating since December 2012 "secretly" and only recently came out to her family. She's currently in college.
I'm not judging the age difference and I would never, ever say anything to him against the relationship– it's absolutely not my place since I am not a part of his life. There's something about this that bothers me though, its just like a nagging feeling in the back of my mind? What would you bees think/can anyone relate?
Ugh, sorry for the incoherent mumbo jumbo. I really wish I could just stop thinking about it since it's really none of my business. Thanks for listening though.

Muchas Gracias St. Germain!
Today's blog post is about an important lesson I have learned with St. Germain. I went to the hospital today to visit my mom, who has been inpatient for some time, and has some severe energy patterns for her children to weather. Long story short--the protection worked! I am just as strong in my aura as when I left, possibly better, because the protection allowed me to really be caring and loving and accepting instead of on a defensive stance during my visit to her.
Who is St. Germain? Well, from what I know, he is an Ascended Master, who is good with finance and impossible things. He likes things fair. And he always roots for the Underdog to win in any situation! His fund was started by him and is supposed to bring prosperity in a Robin Hood fashion to the ninety-nine percent. He has lived on Earth as Francis Bacon, as a french nobleman, and I am not sure about anyone else. What does he look like? It was his choice to post the oblique reference to him above--the church in his name in Paris, and the Metro stop. But here is one I found that looks close:
One of the gifts of St. Germain is the Violet Flame. It is cleansing and healing all at once, and very highly protective. Here is a look at an artist's depiction of it. Feel the power and the Light:
How did I use it for the energetic protection that I used today?
Well, let me ask you, when you need protection, for yourself and others, what is one thing you have been taught to do?
Well, in your aura, you can wrap a bubble of Light around you as protection. The White Light of protection is very helpful and safe. A layer of Pink can be used for Universal Love. Green is for Love as well. Gold is for Archangels. You can pick up to three layers, and it will last all day. Today for the first time, thanks to Meline Lafont, I put the Violet Flame inside my bubble of white light, making my aura look somewhat like this:
I would be the deep blue center. Then the outside would be the white light of protection. Inside it are both the Violet Flame--to cleanse and protect and heal and get rid of anything I don't need--and the turquoise Light for enhanced communication.
So, with a 'full cup' (I went and had fun to replenish my energy when I was burnt out from mom and the hospital earlier this week), and a full heart, with my aura completely protected, I was able to spend time with mom today. I smiled as she asked for many things, and I did not get much time to do anything else but dote on her. She didn't like the slippers. She said no to the fingernail polish I offered to do for her. She did not want to try the lipstick that I bought, but the name 'Coquette' made her smile. My being a source of Love, as well as her daughter, was healing for her as well as for me.
It was a good day.
Try it! Try 'lighting the shell of protection of light candle' form of prayer into your aura, and see how it works! You'll be delighted, I know it!

So glad it helped! It helps me a lot too!! Everytime that I go to work in hospitals and so on, I call Saint Germain and the Violet Flame to go with me together with the protection of AA Michael.. Saint Germain is the one whom insisted to go with me and surround me with his flame, he said it was to protect me but more to empower me so that I would stay purified without losing my power and purity. The violet Flame stands for a lot and is very helpful indeed for those cases. ♥ Thank you, and much Love to you :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you and thank you St. Germain! It is going to be a long time with mother once she is at home. It will help considerably. Oddly enough, the Golden Mesh of protection I had after a clearing of negative attachments and healing to my energy body with www.margaretmccormick.com, works beautifully in the hospital setting, but not with family. The Golden Mesh is life-long protection, unless one 'invites' negativity in by free will. I think the tie between family was too strong for it. Now with The Violet Flame I can do everything that I need to do in this life. Thank you so very very much Meline! And for your comments too!Delete

That's a good way to describe Louisville defensive tackle Amobi Okoye. He played his last game for the Cardinals in their Orange Bowl victory over Wake Forest. Where many student athletes are just beginning their collegiate career at 19 years old, Okoye just finished his. Amazingly, he was a 16-year old freshman playing big-time college football, and in April could wind up being selected in the first round of the NFL draft.
Okoye's success on the field, while impressive, is only a small portion of his story which has taken him to Louisville via Nigeria and Alabama.
