Los Angeles Rams NFL Draft Fantasy Preview
The Rams will gain some LB depth in this year's draft
For more NFL Draft Fantasy Team Previews and coverage click here.
In what was likely the most surprising story of the NFL season, the Rams offense turned into one of the best in the league. Jared Goff looked like a different QB overnight with Sean McVay as the new head coach. Goff looked more decisive with his throws and his receivers were making plays for him to the tune of a 28-touchdown season. His Fantasy draft stock is certain to rise this year with many owners likely to pull the trigger on Goff as a QB1. But temper expectations, as there is likely to be some sort of regression.
Todd Gurley had quite the bounce-back from a poor sophomore campaign. His 323.3 Fantasy Points paced the field at the running back position as he was a threat both on the ground or through the air. A healthy Gurley along with a passing attack that can keep teams honest is one that will be among the league leaders in points in 2018. Gurley will be one of the first couple of picks off the board in drafts this year, and with the value he can return, it's warranted.
The receiving core even got an upgrade this offseason with the departure of Sammy Watkins, but him being replaced by Brandin Cooks can be viewed as a win. Cooks in this offense has all kinds of potential. He has the all-around game to be dangerous in both PPR and standard formats. But will the targets be there? They still have Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp to keep happy as well. Goff will have to learn how to keep his receivers content with this group. Both Cooks and Woods have value as WR2s, while Kupp could be intriguing as a Flex play in PPR formats.

— Pro Football Focus (@PFF) April 25, 2018
Team Needs: LB, C, DE
Projected Top Three Picks
Third Round: Darius Leonard, LB South Carolina State
Fourth Round: Austin Corbett, OG Nevada
Dorian O'Daniel, LB Clemson
With the limited picks that the Rams have, they will look to just find depth in this draft. That is exactly what they will do with two of their first three selections coming from the linebacker position. Darius Leonard is a long, speedy linebacker that is very reactive on the field. He posted very productive numbers while in college and should easily find a spot on the defense. Dorian O'Daniel is the opposite of Leonard in that he lacks the size and speed. But what he lacks is made up for with consistency and production. O'Daniel may see most of his time in 2018 as a special-teams contributor. Neither have value in IDP Formats for the upcoming season.
Austin Corbett has seen his draft stock dip over the last month or so as teams have really dug into the tape. He never blows you away on game film but plays solidly. His average to below-average strength and lack of length have been concerning to some evaluators. His size will allow for him to compete for a spot at center early on and if he can work on his consistencies on the field, he could progress into a solid NFL starter. Corbett could be a cog that helps strengthen the Rams offensive line, helping the offense to maintain the production from the 2017 season.

Full disclosure…this wasn't one of those "Holy cow, who would have EVER thought they were going to do something like this???" proclamations. In fact, if you ask me, it was really only a matter of time.
Anyway, it was announced last week that starting on Monday, June 4th, Alaska Airlines will decrease the carry-on bag size limit from 24″ x 17″ x 10″ to the limits of what nearly every other U.S.-based airline has, 22″ x 14″ x 9″.

This concise history of France from the occupation in 1940 to liberation in 1944 focuses on the struggle between those who favoured collaboration with the occupying Germans and those who opted to resist.
Roderick Kedward shows how ordinary people experienced the occupation; he examines the politics and ideology of the Victory regime, and he discusses the many different forms of resistance launched from inside and outside France. He particularly emphasizes the changing nature of both collaboration and resistance as the pressure of the occupatoin intensified, and asks whether France was involved in a civil war by 1944.

Thinkin about a 8.8 axle swap
I'm thinking about swapping out my 35 for a 8.8 and was wondering a few things. I'm running 33's right now and just think the rear end is a ticking time bomb. The axle was off an 85 cherokee and is complete drum to drum. Seller wants $150 for it. Comes with limited slip and the axle itself looks pretty solid. Haven't took the cover off of it but it spins smooth.
Question is might the perches used for the cherokee work for my yj? My guess would be no.
He said he's a certified welder and would do any swapping of parts I would need.
Other than the spring perches and trackbar bracket, should it be a direct bolt-in swap?
This just sounds too good to be true.
8.8 are everyplace. I have one sitting in my garage with disc brakes and 4.11's. I would look for a 1995 or newer 8,8 out of an explorer, those have the disc brakes and 31 spline shafts as well. You will have to weld on new mounts, but its not major work.
This one has 4.10s and is upgraded to 31 spline shafts, so he says. I think I'm just staying with drum brakes to keep the cost down.
I just swapped one in my 95 this weekend. Pretty easy swap.

If I Could Show You A Way
If I could show you a way to build instant credibility with your prospects, 8 out of 10 of you would still ignore this advice and continue making the same mistakes. If I could show you a way to guarantee a dramamtic increase in your income, 80% of you would nod in agreement about my sugestions but never act to actually get the pay hike!
Selling Is A Transfer Of Trust
One sure fire way to lower a prospects anxiety about making a commitment is to show them a testimonial from satisfied client. To see how I use testimonials on my website just scroll all the way to the bottom of my home page http://www.explosivebusinesssolutions.com/ Testimonials are especially useful early on in the sales cycle but not for the 80% of you who just unconciously decided its just too much work.
The biggest obstacle to getting a testimonial letter is having a busy business person find the time to prepare it for you, so instead of waiting why not ask a few questions to gauge their degree of satisfaction. Once you have a sense of what would feel comfortable for them to say, take the bull by the horns and generate the letter on their letterhead and ask them to sign it.
The whole point of this approach is to have credible letters on hand that you can pull out when the situation warrants, to speak to particular concerns being raised by potential clients.
20% of the people reading this today will generate 80% of the testimonial letters from this group and the same will apply when it comes to using them. In fact, 20% of the salespeople will sell 80% of the products and earn the lion's share of commissions. I can't make you become more successful, but I can show you a way and then the cloice is really 100% in your hands.
I'd love to hear about the best testimonial you've ever gotten. Leave a comment!

NBC's new talent discovery show, The Voice is upping its star power with the addition of Reba McEntire, Monica, Sia (Furler) and music producer Adam Blackstone as new advisors.
These new advisors will join with the previously announced coaches Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton to assist during the upcoming "battles" competition phase of the show which will last for four episodes and is staged inside a boxing ring. Each coach will pit two artists on their eight act team against each other in a series of duels designed to shrink each team to four members.
Reba will of course work with Blake Shelton, Green with Monica, Levine with Maroon 5 music director Blackstone and Aguilera will join with singer/songwriter Sia.
Not unlike another well known talent contest (on another network), the advisors will be tasked with helping to improve the contestants image and performance.
The Voice premiere was last week's top rated show attracting over 11.8 million viewers.

Andy and I have to make another disappearance for a few days (isn't it odd that we always disappear at the same time?). Mostly a mental health thing. I'll be doing some non-Internet stuff until Tuesday, so sadly, you'll be stuck with the Slytherin layout until then. I might make slight appearances, since I WILL have a computer, but they will be minimal.
And until Tuesday, then, read the classics.

Here's a new website I'll have to add to the sidebar (when I feel like making this a non-Slytherin page later): Bardball!
I guess I'll have to post one of my old poems. (It was written in 8th grade!)
Casey IV: A Little Homage to Ernest Lawrence Thayer's "Casey at the Bat"
Yet another year, and the outlook was poor...
You'd know if you had looked at the score.
The crowd, discouraged, was leaving quickly
In hopes to get home for another game on TV.
A few hopeful still stayed, while the rest resigned to next year,
For those who stayed, they held their Mudville nine dear.
Needless to say, someone shouted then, "Look now who's up!
He's got his bat... THIS one can get us out of our rut!"
With his team down by the total of eight,
Casey IV stepped up to the plate.
He looked at the mound, his grip on the bat,
And prayed the ump was not a rat.
Bases were loaded, Ninth inning no doubt,
Pitches were thrown, Strike One, Two... so close to an out.
Count 3 and 2, the pitch came in,
The crowd was silent, could this lead to a win?
Casey swung and CRACK! BOOM! BAM!
Four new runs for Mudville! A whole grand slam!
But since they needed eight, they were still in a jam,
And struck out did the very next man.

Rumors are going around that Goatse.CX made it into a split-second frame of the CNN-YouTube debates. That post said Obama and Clinton flinched in disgust.
We'll spare you the pictures, but pretty likely, it's a hoax. Most other bloggers that reported it are saying it probably never happened. No proof or outrage has actually happened.
Proof how much power a simple blog post can have sometimes.

After a cookie-fueled marathon (with several untimely halts for birthday parties and friends), I finished. And I couldn't believe Colbert was right about Hermione being a dude!
Never mind that. I lied. But I won't be from now on, so you have to be careful! Time for inviso-text! SPOILERS ahead, as if you needed to know. Please cast Lumos/say the magic words, Marauder fans/highlight the below with your cursor to get my thoughts!
Hedwig as the first death? I guess I should've seen that coming. Everything precious of an older order precious and related to Harry had to die (besides Hagrid, who was a symbol against racial stereotyping... I believe that was all that kept him alive).
More on Hagrid: the thing at the beginning might have been the worst Rowling has ever done to my heart. To send Hagrid careening to the ground and to have Harry see him limp and cold was too much to end a chapter with, followed immediately by a chapter called "Fallen Warrior?" I hate you, Ms. Rowling.
The scene where Harry finally visits the graves of his parents might be Rowling's true prose masterpiece. She might just as well have written the part ten years ago, planning every moment to lead up to that. Just read it. Again.
From the first book, I knew Harry would have to break into Gringott's. And ride a dragon. C'mon.
Snape, sadly, played such a minor role for most of the book that it started aching. At least until one very fateful chapter. Then Snape... well, my predictions were pretty much perfectly in tune with Snape. It wasn't a question of whether Snape was good or evil, but why he was good.
Still, I cannot say he fits the role of tragic hero. Harry is the only one remotely carrying such a flaw.
I will admit to being a Harry/Ginny shipper (as annoyed as I was with her in CoS, I loved her in OotP), so let's put it this way: way to shortchange Ginny, Rowling! That girl deserved much more screen time.
The only way I can forgive it is how someone put it: Ginny's character quest was fulfilled by the end of HBP. She had become a social butterfly, popular, athletic, and extremely pretty. She had turned from the little fangirl to her own woman, leaving Rowling free to pursue other characters, especially to put Harry out in the cold, longing for her the way she longed for him back in the day. Like I said, I'm a Harry/Ginny shipper.
Or it might just be the red hair.
Also, KILLING A WEASLEY TWIN?!?!?! SPLITTING THEM UP?!?! What is this, every action movie? Dragonlance?! Seriously!
The final thing I can gloat about is the final thing: the Battle of Hogwarts. The only place a fitting showdown could take place. I was nearly livid when it looked like it would be in the Forbidden Forest, but, bless his heart, Harry pulled a Jesus. Which might be something to discuss, but I'm also on break from school, so nyah.
Finally, I just have to say this: congrats, Rowling, on having the guts to make Harry a Horcrux. True, I should scold you for not having the guts to kill him, but then, I'd be pissed.
All in all, I felt it was the most different of the novels (no one will disagree), and it broke from Rowling's previous formulas almost entirely, besides the Trio's "research" stage, "on the run" stage, the "climax" stage involving the death of someone important, and the "Dumbledore explains" stage (which was only not in one book, HBP).
And the only appearances of Hogwarts are in Harry's visions and in the final battle (and what an appearance!).
It was a culmination of all the characters. I told someone that it was like the last episode of Seinfeld: bring everyone back and give them a moment in the sun. Dobbie and Kreacher even get their moments. Griphook the goblin appears (from Book One). Grawp shines. Neville (as everyone expected) kicks ass. Even Molly Weasley gets into the fray and beats the shit out of Bellatrix.
So that's the end of the series, that's my 5,000 words, and that's Ha'Potta' Kedavra!
DISCLAIMER! I went there for much less time than most people. In fact, I skipped midnight, partly because I can get ahold of the book through other means and partly because I had to host a party.
Oak Park, home to literary giants... or well, just Ernest Hemingway I guess. It's also kind of my home, though I more live next door in Forest Park, the place they send their thru traffic and black families.
Yes, I grew up in the shadow of Ernest Hemingway's museum, birthplace, childhood home, and wide lawn. And Saturday was his birthday, and what a coincidence! My birthday! My 21st! Yesterday! So I apologize for not staying to the end, of course, but Butterbeer is not the same as a Doplebock or Hefeweisen (or a whole load of friends spritzing you with a 30-pack of Old Style).
Now, off to the land of wide Harries and narrow Potters (eewww!). That's right: you get a picture story!
My budget for my journalistic endeavour. Better not waste it on Chocolate Frogs and Butterbeer!
Hogwarts, at last!
The building itself looks like an old field house. I think Oak Park should've sprung for a higher budget and built a full-scale Hogwarts.
I solemnly swear I am up to no good, jerkface.
The Quidditch Pitch, wizards and witches ages 6-12.
How were they playing Quidditch? All the kids had to be on their brooms to play.
Brooms galore!
Three periods, ten minutes each, would be played. Snitch catches would NOT be ending these games (so inaccurate, these nerds). A score with the Quaffle was five points (it is ten in the books), and a Snitch catch was 50 (150 in the books, and there could not be multiple catches).
There were three hoop goals on each end of the pitch, protected by a Keeper. The other players were the three Chasers (ones who take the shots on goal), two Beaters (the defenders and brutes for the team), and one Seeker (the Harry Potter).
The Pitch.
There were four balls on the field: one Quaffle, a large black-and-silver ball, two Bludgers, orange-and-blue Nerf basketballs (in other words, small), and one Golden Snitch, a cute little thing (more on this later).
The Beaters were given a Nerf bats to protect the rest of the team from Bludgers. The sideline refs threw the Bludgers. If hit by a Bludger, a player would have to drop everything they were doing and go ring the bell on the side of the field.
As you can imagine, the bats were not just used for this. As the announcer pleaded, "Beaters must remember to not attack Chasers, only Bludgers!"
The bell to ring when hit by a Bludger.
As for the Snitch...
The Golden Snitch was a guy in a hat swinging around a golden ball on a string. Really.
See! Look at his hat!
The game I watched the entirety of was between the Lady Dragons versus the Holyhead Harpies!
The stands, filled with fans!
The box score:
Holyhead Harpies -- 130 - 70 - 135 -- 335
Lady Dragons -- 160 - 160 - 55 -- 345
Lady Dragons win! It was a great game for all involved, including the parents. One remarked, proudly, "Is this going to help them on college applications?" I am sure these 6-through-12-year olds already want that sporting scholarship.
I decided I needed to move to the rest of the party. Lucky for this Muggle, transportation showed up.
The Knight Bus is apparently Grey Line-owned.
But I decided against that transportation to continue my investigation and spy what I could on the way. I walked.
The local church joins in, calling itself Grace-yndor! Get it?!
Is that the entrance to the Ministry of Magic or a Time Lord's primary weapon?
Scoville Park in reality is NOT Hogsmeade Village, proven by the fact that they are quite a way away from each other.
Rickshaws, chosen transportation of Scoville Park.
Wizard's Chess! Just as boring as real chess!
The announcer's minions pose.
I invoke the King's Privilege! Gangbang!
Dumbledore Is Alive! Elvis Has Twins!
A segway into the next picture...
Granddad's Wands, selling you plenty of little overpriced yet finely crafted wooden sticks.
A finely crafted $32 wand or this free pen? Sometimes, the pen IS mightier.
House Elf Sock Drive!
And a horse.
Unfortunately, my picture of the portrait of the fallen wizard Albus Dumbledore didn't come out well due to the reflective surface he was behind, but his portrait was quite animated as we gave each other thumbs up.
What I spent my budget on. I also got the knockoff brand of butterbeer. Tonic water, caramel and Irish Cream coffee syrups, and ice. Lots and lots of ice.
My chocolate frog lost its butt.
I finish out the day where I started... getting drunk on the doorstep of Hogwarts.
Here's to getting my book and hoping Harry doesn't die in the rain.

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
-- T.S. Elliot, "The Hollow Men"
No, I'm not talking about the world ending in a titanic clash between a snake-man/dark lord and a dweeby little scar-kid. I'm talking about the end of our world as we know it. With the end of Harry Potter, how will we fill the void? How will we keep countries from destroying each other over the inevitable death of Hagrid?
Personally, I'm worried how the fanfic'ers will cope. Will those communities dry up after they find out Draco and Harry never snog and Hermione never gets pregnant? Will there be mass suicides?
Will the world economy collapse because of this?
Maybe all bookstores will go out of business, due to all of their owners and employees retiring. But we can still go on! We have Amazon! Though they'll probably retire, too.
We'll just have to try new things. We should reading. Err, you know, different books. And watching movies. Errrrr, different movies. And playing video games... I'm not worried there, no one played the Harry Potter games.
Perhaps get a little sunshine? Natural light is good. The Lumos Charm doesn't provide Vitamin D.
Thinking about it, for public safety, maybe Rowling should be forced to continue the series. No, it should not be about Lily, James, Remus, Sirius, Peter, and Severus. Ms. Rowling, if you're listening to me, never EVER go down that road. It really does lead to the dark side.
Personally, I'd be fine with seeing the founding of Hogwarts, with the four house namesakes battling and working together. It's a prequel, yes, but not one really related to the first story. A story set where four very powerful wizards, ones who invented plenty of spells for themselves, battle it out -- c'mon! They don't even have to be careful not to hit a skyscraper with a Blasting Curse!
Rowling swears it is done. I pray. Maybe there won't be a Hogwarts Revisited novel in eight years, featuring the Dobby and his family celebrating House Elf Life Day, Minister of Magic Ron and United Wizard Nations Ambassador Hermione having twins, and the ghost of Dumbledore singing scat.
But I am cynical, so I won't be holding my breath with any Bubble-Head Charms. See you at the end of the world.
We all joke about dropping everything and enrolling in Hogwarts. Some of us really did go to Hogwarts. St. Ignatius Magical Prep is an American wizarding school nestled in plain view, 1076 W. Roosevelt Rd. Chicago, IL 60608 (feel free to sign them up for any mailing list you please, now).
Hidden in plain sight.
Oh, don't look so surprised. Everyone knows Jesuits are in league with the forces of witchcraft. Catholic? Ha!
How many schools can claim to be over a hundred years old? Tradition is one of the great cornerstones of such institutions, and Ignatius and Hogwarts share such a mentality. I would not exactly call a certain president a match for Dumbledore, but I'm not, by any means, calling Ignatius and Hogwarts the exact same school. One must make allowances for how the British Ministry of Magic and the US Dept. of Magic run things.
Ignatius and Hogwarts are friggin' castles and museums. Huge libraries with hidden nooks and crannies? Lots of artifacts and old pictures? Certainly. There beautiful chandeliers, you can walk up winding staircases to nowhere, and all the pictures will talk to you, at least once you've spent four years there.
Ignatius flaunts a coat of arms like Hogwarts: odd for an American school to do that? Not if it's a wizarding school!
Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus (Latin: "Never Tickle a Sleeping Dragon")?
Or Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam (Latin: "For the Greater Glory of God")?
Now, I have to tell you a ghost story. One is about a guy who got his head mostly chopped off and became Nearly Headless Nick. The other is the founder of Ignatius Magical Prep and resides on the infamous Fifth Floor, which is odd because the school doesn't HAVE a fifth floor... though students swear to it.
Now, I've never sat down to tea (or pranked) with Fr. Damen, but I'm pretty certain I could do so if I met him. He is supposed to be very friendly.
There is only one place to buy your books, and they rip you off every time... though at least Hogwarts has Knockturn Alley for some secondhand books. We have to pray Amazon can apparate them to us the night before that 20-inch scroll is due.
Perhaps some would say the most similarities came when Ministry Toad Dolores Umbridge took over Hogwarts. The Public Displays of Affection and Shirts Tucked In offenses shot through the roof.
So Ignatius and Hogwarts are similar. When did I notice? Junior year, and yes, I did something about my observation. Here now is the only time I'll ever publish the only evidence I've ever written fan fiction: an excerpt from Joe Pacold and the Mathematician's Wand.
"I assume, since you're a student, you'd want a bird?" asked Scritch.
"Yes," answered Joe. Scritch looked just a bit disappointed.
"Over here, then." Scritch led the Pacolds into the middle of what seemed to be a forest. "This is our bird sanctuary."
Colorful birds fluttered overhead. Many pairs of bright eyes peered out of the trees at Joe. A few birds even landed right nearby to get a closer look at the people. Scritch motioned for several large birds to come closer, and they obeyed.
"Well, whatcha think?" Scritch asked hopefully.
"They're emus..." Mr. Pacold said. Joe could see his father was pretty sure Scritch was not accustomed to selling birds to young children. "And those are ostriches... none of those can fly."
"They sure put off bullies, though!" Scritch laughed. "So, not those?"
"Yeah," said Joe.
"How about these?" Scritch pointed at little brownish birds on a nearby tree, tweeting out various songs. One particularly ambitious one had begun a rendition of "My Way."
"The song sparrows? Those would get hernias from letter-carrying," Mr. Pacold said, in a very serious tone. "Besides, who wants to wake up listening to an avian rendition of Sinatra?"
"And these?"
"Do I really want to say what's wrong with a dodo?"
"Point taken," Scritch said, looking agitated by the insistence of Mr. Pacold that these birds would not make good pets. He made a cooing sound, and a scraggly-looking pigeon landed on Scritch's shoulder. "Here we are."
"A pigeon?! You expect my son to use a pigeon?" Mr. Pacold was looking more agitated than Scritch was.
"I assure you that our pigeons are quite clean. And they do blend in around Chicago, I'd have to say."
What about owls?" asked Joe.
"Owls?" Scritch laughed. "Where do you think we are? ENGLAND?"
Another pigeon fluttered down onto Scritch's shoulder. It was pure white. A PIGEON? Joe looked in a little disgust at the moldy bit of sandwich clutched in its beak, and certainly knew it was a pigeon. Other than the garbage, the pigeon glittered like pearl.
"Our resident snowy pigeon... Like her?" Scritch finally seemed hopeful the Pacolds liked something.
Joe threw a confused look at his father. Joe had wanted an owl. Instead, it looked like he"d be getting a pigeon, the kind of thing other kids' pets would eat.
Okay, so this scene doesn't take place in Ignatius. Most of the scenes that I wrote back then were kind of too long or kind of sucked. The scene with the running pack of wolves statue at the front of the school was pretty awesome though (it asked passwords to get into a House dorm), and I planned to make the Wolf Gate into something awesome (and worth the million dollars it cost) as well.
Why did I stop? Because it became too autobiograImeanboastful. It felt arrogant to continue writing, and I think the Pacold family gave a sigh of relief when I called it quits.
And yes, after graduating, I can conjure a full Patronus like any trained graduate of the finest Midwest wizarding preparatory school. Guess what animal it turns out to be? That's right: a binturong. Looks kind of like a teacher with tenure.

J.K. Rowling has avoided the American question all her years. And if I know Americans, they would hate Quidditch (well, probably not, but roll with me here).
This was one thing that I wanted to deal with years ago when I tried to write my Americanized spoof of the books (which you will hear more about later). What would Quidditch be called in America (Quaffleball, Snitcher, or Complete Rubbish, I don't know which)? And how violent would American Quidditch be?
The game would be split into periods. For the sake of guessing, let's say... thirteen periods. Thirteenths. And the field will be 100 furlongs... Hey, in America, bigger is better. Much bigger is much better.
Would there be a Quaffle? I don't know. Americans probably wouldn't even have names like those. We'd probably just call them Brown and Red Balls. There would be one ball for scoring, possibly an end zone to bring that to (we like those in America).
I suspect the game would involve a lot more Bludgers. Probably ten of them. And we'd call them Guards and Linebackers.
And brooms would be allowed, but not required. Receivers might have those. And wands and dark magic would be allowed. The more violence, the better Wizards' SportsNet would be. Bans on (at least) two of the Unforgivable Curses? Totally lifted, though the Killing Curse might still be a 15-furlong penalty.
Artifacts, potions, and mystical steroids would be tested for. No cheating with outside substances. Magical swords and poleaxes must be approved first, and pine tar on wands can only be up to five inches.
The Quidditch Super World Bowl would take place when one team from the National League and one team from the American League (some things don't change, Muggle or wizard) won their playoffs, and they play against the other for the title of World Champion. Of America.
So maybe this sounds like a post-Apocalyptic movie sport, like Crushball or Bloodsport, but hey, Americans are Americans, no matter what genre you put them in.

Anyone feel the Sorting Hat put me in the appropriate house? I, Eaglie, made the Sorting Hat choose Slytherin. It decided I fit in well. Not all Slytherin wizards are bad! And not all bad wizards are Slytherin! Some come from Romania!
Anyway, I could do the obvious thing I do and sort all politicians and celebrities into the houses, but that would just be too... normal of me (they're all Slytherin anyway--see! not funny!).
So what should I do? Stall?
Well, that got me a line or two.
Anway, Slytherin was my choice. I believe there is good in that house, and I feel I can change it by joining plenty of Harry Potter roleplaying communities. I mean, change the evil in the house, not the good. We WANT the good, don't we?
My friend Andy is an anomaly. He is a renegade hero at times, a wit and intelligence unto himself, and sometimes just likes to smell the roses. I don't know which house my comrade belongs in: Griffindork? Retardclaw? Hufflepuff (why change it)?
So I'll just put him in Slytherin and be done with it. We won't corrupt him too quickly.

He might also just be sticking out his tongue... if you look at it in a certain direction.
Well, maybe I like the crazies.
Why would Dumbledore stay dead? Because his death has to have meaning. Why does it have to have meaning? Because Dumbledore is a great wizard. Why is Dumbledore a great wizard? Because wizards did it.
Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter himself) has decided Snape will turn to be the tragic hero.
"One of my theories is stolen from someone else. He thought Snape is going to turn out to be the tragic hero, and I thought that was a really good idea. I think J.K. Rowling would have possibly gone down that route -- but possibly he is pure evil, and we'll all just find out." (Ciaran, MuggleNet. 17 Jul, 2007. http://www.mugglenet.com.)
One can only hope the actor doesn't begin using words like hubris and hamartia.
In fact...
No, no. Snape is not Oedipus, Macbeth, Hamlet, or Othello. Though Alan Rickman should play all of those people sometime in his life... except Othello.
The black guy in the Ministry and Order in the 5th movie was added simply to say, "But you gotta admit, he's got style."
Someone pointed out that, due to the dating on the books, John Major is the British prime minister in the sixth book. It was his last year in office (1996). The Labour Party (headed by Tony Blair) takes power in the seventh book. Therefore, the Harry Potter series is actually just an allegory for the rise of Tony Blair in British politics. Think about it: the conservative Cornelius Fudge gets put out of power by someone who "looks" right for the position, Rufus Scrimgeour. Tony Blair did the same, mostly because John Major is an ugly jammy git, and Blair is dreamy.
It has also been mentioned that President Clinton is the president from a "far off country" the prime minister will be meeting with shortly. I'm not even going to touch that.

Anyone notice the theme of dogs, cats, and rats in the books (and it's played up in the movies)? Dogs in Harry Potter are a symbol of the good. Cats are neutral (both screwing things up and being useful once in a while). Rats are bad. Even werewolves have a symbol of still being "good" in Remus Lupin.
Rowling must be allergic to cats (and rats?).

Severus Snape: deviously good or Hans Gruber-ly evil? Well, even Orson Scott Card collaborated on a book about it, so why shouldn't I say something?
As much as I want to see Snape ripped to pieces by Norwegian Ridgebacks from the bottom up, I lean to the side of a good Snape. I feel like Rowling would not diminish Dumbledore's power by making Snape truly evil. Dumbledore trusted Snape fully, so how could the man be truly bad?
Also, Harry believes Snape is evil, and Harry always guesses wrong. He always can tell evil is afoot, but his passions lead him to the wrong conclusions. It's a character trait, just like Dumbledore's is to see the greater picture. Even if Snape is evil (I admit there is a chance), Dumbledore's death was meant to happen, as Rowling is not Joss Whedon. Characters don't die in vain.
And Snape, on orders, was just the one to kill Dumbledore. He can't die to Voldemort. That would mean that Voldemort was more powerful, and really, then how could Harry beat the man who beat Dumbledore? Unless Rowling creates a charm that gives Harry superspeed, superstrength, flight, and X-Ray vision. The Kal-El Charm.
And is Dumbledore dead? If you know anything about the "hero's journey", you'd not be asking that question.
Yes. Yes, he is.
I just discovered there is a Mexico, Florida. That's it for your interruption from Harry Potter, all day, all the time.

Hello, and welcome, little wizards and witches! This is the Aviary's Ha'potta' Kadavra Week, and I hope to enlighten during the week leading up to Deathly Hallows Release Eve.
This is the biggest event of all of our lives. Well, maybe not all. I totally apologize for my nerdiness this week to people not involved in reading Harry Potter. A lot of stuff I say will make as much sense as DADA professor keeping his or her job without so much as getting an Imperius Curse placed on them. Just remember: you guys who this doesn't make sense to, you are the future. People like me? Have none.
And I have a banner for the week:
Artwork by M. Dost. Lettering by Cracked PS 7.0.
Before you go calling me a mindless Inferi, I remind you I am only an undead creature in a GAME, a GAME OF WARCRAFT. I am still an elf in real life, thank you very much.
So we're off. Off to read about a final stand for the wizarding world! Off to read a tale of friendship, sacrifice, and heroism! Off to read about the inevitable death of Hagrid*!
And I'll mark this right now so I don't have to for the rest of the week: these are characters and situations created and owned by J.K. Rowling, various publishers including but not limited to Bloomsbury Books, Scholastic Books and Raincoast Books, and Warner Bros., Inc. They are being used in a satirical vein, legal under U.S. law. No money is being made either. Plus, I'll probably be stepping on some other publishers' toes. This applies to them**, too.

The different versions, the Aramaic (top) and English (bottom), have a surprisingly similar degree of legibility.
JERUSALEM - Stunning the archaeological, political, and entire world, archaeologists discovered the tatters of ancient scrolls that may be the earliest known copy of the US Constitution. Found in several caverns dotting mountains south of Jerusalem, the find baffled researchers. The fragments appear to be genuine.
They are dated around 2000 years old and written in Aramaic. This explodes the myth the Founding Fathers of the United States wrote the original Constitution.
"This is exciting and will change everything we believe about America," said James S. Snyder, the director of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. "The 'Who wrote them' debate is going to rage in the scientific community and the American Congress for years."
Who controls the documents is another matter. The Jerusalem Museum currently possesses them. Linguists at the top universities in the world are scrambling to get a peak at the scrolls.
A speedy but accurate translation is vital.
"We could have had it all wrong the last 200-something years. It could mean 'promote the general welfare,' or it could mean 'immigration'. The words are very similar," said Michael Renard, top linguist at Harvard University.
"See this verb? That could change the meaning entirely. And this line, it looks a little like, 'covet thy neighbor's wife'."
There were even the fragments of an embryonic Bill of Rights. The First and Second Amendment generated the most interest.
"'Duty to keep and bear bronze'? What the hell does that mean?" Renard said.
The dating to the 1st Century CE has immediately brought to mind the question of whether Jesus had a hand in them. The place the scrolls were found was an Essenian hiding place.
The Essenes being an ascetic sect of Hebrews that many believe Jesus might have belonged to. They also are widely believed to be the authors of the Dead Sea Scrolls, a similarly earth-shattering discovery in the same region.
Other questions bubble up. First, this might not even be the original copy. There may be older versions. Most ancient manuscripts are simply copies of even older ones.
What about other major documents concerning the founding of the United States? With this find, there might be other sources for the Declaration of Independence.
The United States federal government has not issued a statement about the find. It is expected to within the week. Most expect it to demand possession of the scrolls.
Not everyone believes the find is something beyond a novelty.
"We have to interpret everything for a new age. We can't just go with the literal translation we've had the past two centuries?" said John Paren, an American Politics professor at University of Chicago. "Look, I like attention to accuracy, but if 'We the People' turns out to mean 'game of badminton', I quit." -OAP

Valentine's is like a box of chocolates
All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't' hurt. – Charles M. Schulz
The day is here. A day loved by most, yet hated by many. Valentine's. Those who love it, adorn themselves in gifts, flowers, chocolates, and balloons. But those who hate it are like a bull ready to charge at the sight of the color red. And well, can you really blame them? 😛
February 14th. The international day of love. Hearts, truffles galore, and heart-shaped boxes of chocolate have become international symbols of Valentine's around the world. But what brought about the "sweets for a sweet" tradition on this day?
While Valentine's can be dated back to Roman times, giving candy is a much more of a recent development. What is it about chocolate that makes it so widely used today?
Chocolate has a reputation for having aphrodisiac qualities. This is why girls eat chocolate after a break-up, and why people have it when they are stressed. Or maybe that's just a reason for them to eat more chocolate! These days, right after New Year's, shelves of supermarkets and stores become filled with love quotes and heart shaped boxes that are usually a little overpriced. Then again, tis the season to be lovey dovey!
When Valentine's first started becoming popular as the holiday of love, candy was still not associated with it, since sugar was still a precious commodity and not accessible to all. Then,chocolate became the go-to symbol of seduction. In 1837, Valentine's day became a commercialized bonanza, and people wanted to shower their loved ones with gifts and cards. This is where the marketing geniuses of Richard Cadbury stepped in.
Richard's family manufactured chocolate, and he was looking for a way to use the pure cocoa butter to make a more palatable drinking chocolate. He came up with the solution of eating chocolate, which were packaged in beautiful boxes which he designed. In association with Valentine's, Richard Cadbury started adding Cupids and rosebuds on heart-shaped boxes. These boxes could then be used after the chocolate was eaten to save love letters, and other trinkets.
Following the chocolate trend, Milton Hershey–who started as a caramel maker–began covering his caramels with sweet chocolate. With the success of Cadbury, and the commercialization of Valentine's, Hershey's launched their tear-dropped shaped chocolate "kisses". These chocolates became traditional Valentine's day treats, given by people to their loved ones.
Now that Valentine's day is here, we hope you showered your loved one with more than just heart-shaped chocolate boxes filled with delicious and creamy chocolate. Even though dessert is definitely a deal breaker, the meal itself has to be prepared with love and passion. Our chefs prepare meals that are cooked with affection and their desserts aim straight to the heart, as accurate as Cupid's arrow.
Our chefs even prepared special Valentine's day menus with Valentine recipes that will arouse the taste buds. If you haven't already booked a Chef, no worries. You still have time. We always have your back for every occasion. Be sure to check out our list of chefs here and travel on a culinary journey you've only ever dreamt of tasting.

Designer Bio: Ebony Taylor
Filed under: Fashion
August 31, 2015
Current Student (4th quarter), Associate of Applied Science, Fashion Design, The Art Institute of New York City.
"I want my collection to be sophisticated with a hint of [being flirty], perhaps enticing the imagination."
Ebony Taylor is currently balancing her studies with a career in the military—a challenging task but one that she's conquering through a strong support system. She describes herself as a self-taught designer who came to The Art Institute of New York City to develop her inherent talents and visual identity.
Ebony grew up in Columbus, Georgia, and was always fascinated by fashion. But before she decided to pursue that passion, she joined the military and served for seven years in San Diego. During this time, her interest in swimwear and resortwear was piqued. "There was something about San Diego that just made me fall in love with the water," she says.
Her collection for New York Fashion Week, "End Game," was inspired by a dream she had about a loved one who'd passed away. "The dream involved a game of chess, with the pieces moving on a chessboard the way people move through life. The collection features the classic black and white color palette, and the fabric choices are all about movement."
Ebony looks to inspiration from designers Zac Posen, Carolina Herrera, and Elie Saab. She also frequents Stylesight.com, TheFashionList.com and FashionBombDaily.com.
Ebony says that her military background helped her to remain structured while working on the collection. And she adds that her education helped to fine-tune the process involved in staying on-track and on-time with projects. "[In my] Draping class, I realized how much fabric I was wasting with incorrect technique. The Art Institute of New York City has definitely helped me become a better more creative designer."
Keep up with all the designers here!

I was seduced by the title. Not the sex and death aspects but the bowling.
I'd never heard of the film before I discovered it while browsing through Netflix. The premise seemed reasonable enough: a family dealing with an impending, premature, death with a bowling tournament as the backdrop. Life goes on after all.
My screen time is limited. I watch movies mostly as background while doing household chores such as ironing. Must be some desire to keep busy and not waste my time. Or maybe it is just that I need something to occupy my mind so the mundane task doesn't drive me crazy.
Yesterday I posted my thoughts on a film based on the dating website Christian Mingle. I pointed out its flaws at great length. But if you have to choose between it and Sex, Death and Bowling, you should definitely go with Christian Mingle.
Sex, Death and Bowling was a waste of my time. I'm not sure if it is the worst movie I have ever seen, I've seen a few clunkers, but it certainly doesn't win any awards. The characters are so shallow they could drown in a puddle. Death is not investigated as much as hastened in secret. There is no nobility. Sex in the title is more a question of gender identity. And the bowling is highly unlikely.
What saddened me most, I think, is that this film had potential. I don't know whether to blame the writer/director or someone higher up, but they flubbed the opportunity to make a thought-provoking picture and instead allowed it to degenerate into something just as, if not more, clichéd than Christian Mingle. And that certainly takes skill, if not talent.
So where to begin my mini-rant? With the bowling? Why not.
Despite people poking fun at bowling and bowlers, there is a certain amount of skill involved. You will never convince me that a computer geek who has never bowled can become a championship bowler and win a tournament by watching an instructional video the night before. I think it was supposed to add a comedic element to the film, but it wound up being stupid instead of funny.
The sex part? Gay man comes back home where they didn't understand him growing up is so stereotypical as to be embarrassing. And didn't need to be in the film – it's a distraction from the real story which is about death, specifically dying well.
As for the dying part, well, they dealt with it more interestingly in Canada's House of Commons this month when they debated assisted suicide. An 11-year-old looking for spiritual advice from different religions? Roll out the stereotypes. A wife wanting to end her husband's suffering when he hasn't asked for an early death? Let's not discuss that.
This is a film with no answers, that doesn't have the courage to spit out its basic question: where is God in all of this? That would have been a fascinating topic to explore through the eyes of each of the characters. Perhaps none of the actors had the skills to get to that depth of character – the whole film seems superficial.
If you want to make a film about death, it really should have some substance to it. This one may have more substance than air, but only just. Better to watch just about anything else.

Seeker x Retriever is a sustainable, gender-neutral label based in Thailand and Australia. Creative director Nan Tohch founded the label after meeting local artisans on her travels in Lampang Province in her birth country of Thailand.
Considering the environmental implications of the fashion industry, Seeker x Retriever is conscious of all aspects of the supply chain from the loom to the dye bath to the final design. We spoke to Nan to find out more about why she founded the label, the challenges of eco-production and what inspires her.
Can you tell us about your background and why you started Seeker x Retriever?
Nan: I studied film in university and fashion has always been on my mind. I finally got to work in fashion when I returned to Thailand and worked for a local magazine as Men's Fashion Editor. This project started from my fascination with timeless pieces that can stay in your wardrobe for a long time. When my mom passed away, I had a chance to visit her heritage up in the North of Thailand and I discovered so many beautiful textiles there. In a sense, the label is both a homage to her and a step away from the so-called fashion world I had been in a long time.
You use natural dyes and hand weaving in your range. Why did you take this approach? How does it influence the final design?
I was fascinated with the fact that every single plant can produce dye, and that every single piece of dye fabric is different. That is something quite special to me. When we design, we consult with our artisans first to see what's in season and we never force them to produce colours that are unavailable or to overproduce the textiles. The struggle is, you can't exactly predict the colours. Also, you can't get real dark black from natural dye--black is my go-to colour but I guess I just have to adjust!
What inspires you?
Film, first and foremost. I love Stan Brakhage's early works and the film called Science Is Fiction: 23 Films by Jean Painlevé. I guess I could say that the natural world has had a lot of influence on my designs as well, like those two films mentioned, which both have elements of organic and natural subject matter.
My mom and Thailand's Northern culture has also inspired me a lot; there are certain elements of the way people dress up North that I would like to play with more in the future, whether it's buttons or hem details.
My mom and Thailand's Northern culture has also inspired me a lot; there are certain elements of the way people dress up North that I would like to play with more in the future, whether it's buttons or hem details.
I'm also inspired by traveling, art and architecture, like Luis Barragán and Man Ray.
Do you have any habits or rituals you follow that help you stay focused while running your own label?
Exercise is very important to me. I've practiced Pilates for over five years now and it really helps me stay focused. Also learning to be OK with imperfections, because that's the nature of my materials. That's not to say that I'm not meticulous about the fit of the garments, but just learning to love the natural pigments as a living thing that can fade and grow old with you, which is all part of the charm!
What are you looking forward to?
Meeting more people who are passionate about design and the kind of lifestyle Seeker x Retriever can offer, and creating more beautiful designs that stay with wearers for a long time.
We are currently working on an all-natural perfume and organic skincare products at the moment, so that is a lot of fun too.

I travel to change my view. There is no better way to see things from a different perspective than by traveling. Especially when going to the south of India where everything seems so totally upside down, yet unknown and thrilling. The colourful places, chaotic moments, crazy bus drives and spicy foods have added a new piece to the whole picture.

NFAT Signaling in Osteoblasts Regulates the Hematopoietic Niche in the Bone Microenvironment
Department of Pathology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL 35294, USA
Received 14 January 2013; Accepted 6 March 2013
Academic Editor: Giacomina Brunetti
Copyright © 2013 Cheryl L. Sesler and Majd Zayzafoon. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
Osteoblasts support hematopoietic cell development, including B lymphopoiesis. We have previously shown that the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) negatively regulates osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. Interestingly, in smooth muscle, NFAT has been shown to regulate the expression of vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), a mediator of cell adhesion and signaling during leukocyte development. To examine whether NFAT signaling in osteoblasts regulates hematopoietic development in vivo, we generated a mouse model expressing dominant-negative NFAT driven by the 2.3 kb fragment of the collagen-I promoter to disrupt NFAT activity in osteoblasts (dnNFATOB). Bone histomorphometry showed that dnNFATOB mice have significant increases in bone volume (44%) and mineral apposition rate (131%) and decreased trabecular thickness (18%). In the bone microenvironment, dnNFATOB mice displayed a significant increase (87%) in Lineage−cKit+Sca-1+ (LSK) cells and significant decreases in B220+CD19−IgM− pre-pro-B cells (41%) and B220+CD19+IgM+ immature B cells (40%). Concurrent with these findings, LSK cell differentiation into B220+ cells was inhibited when cocultured on differentiated primary osteoblasts harvested from dnNFATOB mice. Gene expression and protein levels of VCAM-1 in osteoblasts decreased in dnNFATOB mice compared to controls. These data suggest that osteoblast-specific NFAT activity mediates early B lymphopoiesis, possibly by regulating VCAM-1 expression on osteoblasts.

A little while back I found this post on the reader feed and thought it worthy of a reblog, so today is the day.
The veto is a very dangerous thing and this article outlines why. It also offers some very sound and useful advice on an alternative approach to the veto.
I won't spoil the surprise, but its really a simple solution and should really be the cornerstone of any relationship, not just a poly one.
Some people see the veto as the only way to protect a primary relationship, or protecting against someone else getting too close to a 'significant other'. This by it's very nature should raise alarm bells with ALL parties involved.
So take a look and draw your own conclusion.

Steps to start a handmade business at home
People have all sorts of hobbies; some like playing tennis or golf, some like travelling, and some like arts and crafts. However, only a small part of them turns their hobbies into a profession and starts making profit out of it. If you are passionate about handmade and crafting, you should definitely consider starting a business and for start set it up in your own garage. It is a more cost-effective method since you will not have to pay any rent. Look for some garage storage shelving units online in order to have a place to expose your creations and make it happen. Here are the main steps you need to follow for a handmade business at home.
Organize your garage first
If you want to start a handmade business at home, the first step you have to make is to organize the garage. It is commonly known that the garage is that place where all those things people use seasonally or do not use them any more are stored in there, and your garage is probably no exception. Spend an entire day if necessary and start making enough space in this room in order to be able to start your business in there.
Install some shelving units
The next step implies installing some shelving units. It is worth mentioning that there are numerous companies on the market that provide high quality shelving and racking systems, so all you have to do in this case is some research on the internet and look for the one that matches both your budget and needs. Make a list at first and write down all the companies you have found. Then, start asking your friends, relatives or even other people on various blogs which company is worth working with. It is a great method to see which firm has received positive feedback from its previous customers.
Take some great photos
Another important thing to do is to take some amazing photos of your creations. You can either purchase a good camera, if you do not already have one, or you can resort to a friend who has a professional camera and ask them this favour. It is important to take these photos because this is the easiest way to make people see your work and come in contact with you. Bonus tip: take the photos in natural light, during the day, and not in the evening, because they will look a lot better this way and the colours of your creations will be more intense.
Show your photos to the world
After you have taken the photos, it is time to show them to the large public. The easiest and cheapest marketing method is to post them on the internet. Create a website and post them there along with other details such as prices, transportation and so on that people might be interested in. post them on the most popular social networks too, because there are high chances for potential customers to see your creations this way.

Many thought he was destined to become the next Mozart. At one time he claimed to be able to play any of Beethoven's 32 sonatas from memory. He composed quickly and easily, and his first symphony was performed when he was 18. Saint-Saens is most well known for Danse Macabre, a spooky piece about Halloween night, and Carnival of the Animals which was composed as a musical joke. Saint-Saens never meant for Carnival to be published because he was afraid that he wouldn't be taken seriously as a composer. It is now one of his most performed works.
