Ciao tutti!
Ha ha! Well, as you can tell from the title, I arrived home and was almost immediately whisked to Las Vegas. I told my family all about my trip to Siena, showed them my pictures and souvenirs, and got to work on the capstone project. I did wear the bay leaf wreath when I got off the plane and my family thought it was really cool. Less than a week after getting home, my grandparents, brother, and I drove to Vegas for a weekend getaway. They said it was to celebrate my graduation and my brother's acceptance into the Navy.
We stayed at the Luxor and saw the shows for Blue Man Group and Jabbawockeez. It was a blast! During the whole weekend, my grandparents asked me all about Siena. My brother has decided he wants to be stationed somewhere in Europe. I really do miss Italy but I miss the traveling more than anything. I'm applying for jobs as a sign language interpreter for travel agencies now. Hopefully I get one, fingers crossed.
We ate at an Italian restaraunt one night. I ordered something I had had in Siena and was disappointed. I guess when you've had the real thing in the country it came from, everything else falls short. It's funny, but I think I'm feeling just a bit homesick for Siena. I really could have stayed longer. But, like I said, I'll work for travel agencies and get to see it all again someday. Vedrò ancora Siena.

1998 Jeep Wrangler TJ - Texas Tube-JPosted in Project Vehicles on January 23, 2007
We've all heard the old axiom, everything's bigger in Texas. But just because it's from Texas doesn't necessarily mean it has to be bigger to be better. Think about it, would the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders be better if they were bigger? Probably to a few freakish Internet weirdos, but not to the rest of us. So in that spirit, we bring you Richard Hartgrove's better Tube-J off-road toy instead of a bigger one.
While Richard is a fully capable fabricator, he saw this '98 Wrangler in Moab shortly before embarking on a new buildup of a trail vehicle. A Colorado man by the name of Ryan Jensen had built it, including the boat-tailed and tubed rear section, the cage, and other elements. Then, three weeks later, when Richard saw the Jeep for sale on eBay, he decided it made more sense to buy this Jeep than to start his project from scratch.
Hard Facts
|Vehicle: '98 Jeep Wrangler TJ
|Axles:'78 Ford Dana 60 (front); '78 Ford Dana 60 (rear)
|Engine: Stock 4.0L
|Wheels:17x9 Trail Ready bead locks, 4.5-inch backspacing
|Transmission: Stock Chrysler 999 auto
|Tires:37x12.50-17 BFG Krawler T/A KX
|Transfer Case: Atlas II
|Built For: Fun in the San Angelo sun
|Suspension: Rubicon Express Xtreme Duty long-arm four-link
Chassis And Drivetrain
The factory TJ frame remains up front, but Jensen had back-halved the chassis just aft of the factory spring bucket locations as part of the rear narrowing. The rear tubework is integrated into the cage and ties the frame together into one solid, stable assembly. The suspension is mostly off-the-shelf Rubicon Express long-arm Xtreme Duty stuff, including the skidplate. Richard laid the factory coil buckets rearward and modified the rear control arms to add 10 inches of wheelbase out back and installed taller 7.5-inch front and 5.5-inch rear coils. A quartet of Pro Comp MX-6 adjustable shocks damp the axles. One key feature we really liked were the Delron front coil retainers machined by Machine Works in San Angelo, Texas. Richard says he had the parts built because, unlike limiting straps, the Delron pieces let the coils deliver their full droop without unseating and falling away. He says they also aid in stability and give a more predictable feel when off-roading.
Underneath all that suspension work lies a pair of unsuspecting eight-lug Ford Dana 60 axles out of a '78 1-ton pickup. The pumpkins spin 5.13 gears, while the high-pinion front runs a Detroit Locker and the rear is welded.
One of the things that really appeals to us about Richard's Jeep is the fact that the drivetrain was left untouched from the radiator to the back of the transmission in the interests of reliability. The stock Chrysler 999 automatic with a Mopar deep tranny pan backs the 3.8:1 Atlas II T-case, but the 4.0L is dead stock. Richard likes to be able to just turn the key and go. It's a sentiment we're beginning to appreciate as our carnage list of aftermarket parts grows.
On the doodad list are items like a tractor-supply sourced hydraulic ram for use with the West Texas Off Road-modified factory steering box for an inexpensive hydro-ram assist steering setup, a thick-walled CV rear driveshaft, and a high-flow muffler just because a stock-sized one doesn't fit anymore.
9PhotosView Slideshow
Body And Interior
When Richard bought the Jeep, it wasn't street legal. It was missing a windshield frame, wipers, turn signals, lights, and other things the local law enforcement tends to notice you're going without. In order to put a stock windshield frame on the Jeep, Richard first had to modify the cage, but eventually he got all the factory gizmos back where they belong and operating. The cage offers plenty of protection from the sides and top while still tucking up tight for a decent amount of interior room. A pair of el cheapo aftermarket buckets replaced the tattered factory jobbies, but the dash, shifter, and other controls remain just as Ma Mopar made 'em.
Since the repositioned rear axle required the fuel tank to be relocated, it was encased in tubing at the rear of the Jeep. As such, there's not much storage room in the back of the Jeep. Just enough for a Hi-Lift Jack, a few spare parts, and a tire if the trail calls for it. Toward the front, the factory fenders and front bumper were ditched in favor of some round and rectangular tubing, as it were, but the hood is a factory original. Between the lack of a rear body and the removal of the front fenders, there's plenty of room to swing the 37x12.50-17 BFG Krawlers mounted on 17x9 Trail Ready bead locks.
Good, Bad, & What's It For
Although at first blush it looks like just another tube buggy with a TJ front clip, we appreciate all of the reliable factory engineering that was left in place. Even the onboard air system employs the factory TJ A/C compressor. The suspension, although seemingly custom, employs a bunch of off-the-shelf parts, so replacements or even spares should be readily obtainable.
There's a nice Warn 9500 winch waiting up front and enough body armor to make it a fun wheeler since you won't constantly be worrying about dents and scratches. We do think the hydraulic assist hoses are a bit long and vulnerable and that the rig doesn't really need to sit so high to accommodate the smallish tires, especially since there's no body to speak of.
Why I Featured It
It's already been stated. It's a fun rig with factory reliability, big and beefy parts where they're needed, and a body and chassis that doesn't require any wasted brain power worrying about damage. Add the fact that it's a darn capable rig into the mix, and we feel it's something that our readers wouldn't be sorry to emulate.-Christian Hazel

So I spent a couple of days with the good folks of Meritor and Meritor WABCO at a technical event they organized at the Atlanta Motor Speedway for 50 fleet customers dubbed the "Scientific Savings" Expo – ostensibly to show how a wide variety of products crafted by their respective companies can help fleets save money and boost safety, sometimes doing both all in one package.
[You can read more about those issues are influencing the strategic vision of both firms by clicking here. And if you want to see some of what Meritor and Meritor WABCO put on display at the particular event, click here.]
One of the more interesting discussions centered on research conducted by the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE) that examined how combining a wide array of different components and systems – such as 6x2 tandem tractor axles, trailer side skirts, automated transmission, etc. – can deliver some big fuel savings.
NACFE's Mike Roeth provides an overview of the group's research in this area below:
Incidentally, Roeth told me that NACFE plans to release a report in July or August this year detailing the potential advantages and drawbacks of using a 6x2 rear tandem tractor axle configuration versus the traditional 6x4 configuration – especially whether the 300 to 400 pound weight savings and 2% to 4% fuel economy boost of a 6x2 model offsets potentially less traction and higher tire wear over the vehicle's life cycle.
"We're using 12 robust data sets for this analysis, with 8 of them conducted by fleets," Roeth told me. "We see it as a real opportunity to determine what the 'net gain' for a fleet could be if they shift to the 6x2 tractor axle configuration that's predominantly used in Europe."
Yet safety is never far from any fleet's mind these days and must take a front row seat when spec'ing changes such as switching to a 6x2 axle configuration are contemplated.
And it's also why Meritor WABCO showed off the capability of its anti-rollover and stability control technologies at the Expo – reiterating to fleets that today's technology can often react faster and with more deft precision to prevent a crash than a human can, especially in "panic maneuver" situations:
Technology of course never works 100% flawlessly to infinity in the real world, but it's sure nice to have such "stability insurance" where you're navigating big rigs along our ever faster yet more congested roadways.

Author Notes: As summer weekends come to a close, for most people so do beach getaways. One of our favorite seaside treats, bluefish are abundant, inexpensive and deliciously healthful (super-high in omega-3 fatty acids). Because they are also an oily, strong-flavored fish, it is important for them to be eaten not long after being freshly-caught (hence: near the ocean). Or alternatively, you can try them smoked (available in many good seafood stores) and served with crackers. —Loulies
Serves: 2
bluefish or rockfish
Dijon mustard
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
In This Recipe
- A little mayonnaise coats the fish to keep it marvelously moist. Use this recipe with any fresh local fish such as bluefish or rockfish.
- Lightly season the fish with salt and pepper, then brush 1 part Dijon mustard and 2 parts good mayo all across the fish's flesh to coat. Add chopped dill, if desired and broil it in the oven for about 6-8 minutes. Or, lay it on some heavy-duty aluminum foil and slip it onto a hot grill, close the cover, and cook until opaque and moist on the inside (again about 6-8 minutes for fish less than 1-inch).
- Shopping Tip: Keep bluefish cool on the trip home from market and keep it refrigerated in the coldest part of the fridge until you're ready to use.
- Note: As migratory marine fish, blues are voracious predators that sport fishermen prize for their fighting ability. In the US, they can be found off the coast of Florida and in the Gulf of Mexico in the winter months and in New England waters from June through October, when they then head south again.
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Way to Cook a Whole Fish

Thanks, Marty. You explained all that much better than I did. Never meant to imply for a minute that I thought Crowley was a Satanist. Just that Anton Lavey's version of Satanism incorporated a lot of Crowley's ideas. And it should be noted that Lavey and other mainline Satanists don't actually worship the Devil or any deity.
No problem. Actually - a lot of "modern" western esoteric systems borrow material from the same place Crowley initially got it - the Golden Dawn.

Mr. Crowley by Ozzy Osbourne
Mr. crowley, what went on in your head
Mr. crowley, did you talk with the dead
Your lifestyle to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
You waited on satan's call
Mr. charming, did you think you were pure
Mr. alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred manifest on this earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth
Mr. crowley, won't you ride my white horse
Mr. crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall
Was it polemically sent
I wanna know what you meant
I wanna know

The wierdest part about it in my oppinion is the similarity between his and my name.
Does anybody know the story of this guy? I have heard this and that about him but I don't really know what is true and what is blown up. I have heard that he was one of the most evil men of all time. I know he was deeply into black magic and tarot, ect. What did he do to be known as being evil? I know Ozzy Osbourne wrote a song about him, so he had to be somebody big.
just look at the similarity:

Aliester Crowley
(shudders) What could this mean?!?!

Product Labs had een nieuw webpagina ontwerp nodig en lanceerde daarom een wedstrijd op 99designs.
Een winnaar werd gekozen uit30 ontwerpen ingezonden door15 freelance designers.
Website page design (1 page) for Find My Pet, a website that will provide free classified listings for lost and found pets and also pets up for adoption.
Find My Pet
What I want designed
Website page design for the (soon tobe released) Find My Pet website; page design required for:
- Homepage (should include search bar, latest listings, login functionality, place for leaderboard banner ad)The website design needs toincorporate the new Find My Pet logo (winner of contest http://99designs.com/contests/20656) and must be clean, professional but still"fun" (and definitely NOT "cutesie"); should appeal to all pet owners of course :) the homepage in particular should enticepeople to place a free listing (either lost, found, adopt) , or search existinglistings (either lost, found, adopt).
Note: I will be powering the siteusing WordPress (when built) and I have purchased a classifieds listing themeto provide the desired functionality. This theme can be viewed here: http://wpclassipress.com/demo/ - I personally hate the design and hencerunning this competiton……. however this may assist with describing some of thefeatures / functionality likely to be used.
NOTE: If you are a WordPress theme guru(who could then convert my theme to look like the winning design then also letme know!!). This will be a different contest and not part of this however.
Why I want it Designed
I really want a great website designhere – the vast majority of pet related websites are dated, have had limited orno professional design adopted and quite frankly are terrible to look at!
About Find My Pet
The Find My Pet will essentiallyprovide listings for lost and found pets and also pets up for adoption(for free). Visitors can either place a listing or search for a listing,receive notifications when found pets match the profile of their lost pet etc.;later the site will expand this service to listings of other pet relatedservices. Website adopts the popular Web 2.0 features including a blog,commenting, sharing with social networks etc.
About me
I am an interactiondesigner and business analyst currently working freelance within the webindustry in Australia(my site http://www.designclarity.com.au). Find My Pet is a personal projectthat I am funding on my own.
Things that must be included in thedesign is:
- Use of new logo
- Search must be on homepage
- Colour scheme to compliment logo colours (I quite like the colours used on the TripIt site (http://www.tripit.com/) and also MailChimp (http://www.mailchimp.com/)A sitemap of the initial website can be found here:
One example of a homepage wireframe can also be found here:
Websites that I do like that are petrelated include the following:
Nothing specific (that I have not already mentioned above).

Reference to DOB and a thought on the prophecy
Draco Malfoy (born June 5, 1980). 'What?' So how come Draco's didn't come to Hogwarts and year earler. In the U.S. If some one born in July/Aug is a freshman, then some on born in June is a Sophomore.
In the U.S. (which is irrelevant since the books are set in Britain), if you are born after September 1, you are a year later than someone born before September 1. Besides, Rowling confirmed with the Black family tree that Draco was born in 1980. Hermione1980 20:19, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Hermione was born on September 19th 1979 and could not go to Hogwarts as she had not turned 11 by September 1st 1990 so she had to wait a year later and attend Hogwarts with Ron and Harry in 1991 when she was almost 12. --Seán Travers 19:07, 1 April 2008 (UTC)Seán Travers 20:07 01 April 2008
How do we know of Draco's date of birth? Where is it referred to? I am interested because Draco is left out of extra apparition practices as he, like Harry, is too young. Could he also have been "born as the seventh month dies?" He seems to have been "marked as an equal," meaning in this case that he has the dark mark. Just a thought. ~stringkarma
Malfoy's date of birth was not shown in the boos but was confirmed by J.K. Rowling. --Seán Travers 19:10, 1 April 2008 (UTC)Seán Travers 20:10 01 April 2008
Life Debts
Does Draco have a debt to Harry? And likewise, Goyle to Hermione and Ron? Syugecin
- Are you referring to during the Battle of Hogwarts? Its certainly possible, but I think its speculation. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 02:30, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- According to this, Draco would be grateful to Harry for saving his life. Indebted, probably - isn't that what "grateful for saving one's life" means anyway? The Chosen One (Choose me!) 08:23, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
I just read the part where Harry saved Draco's life twice. I saw that when Harry stunned the Death Eater, who Draco was pleading with, Draco smiled, looking around for his savior. I'd like your comments on this. Gryff23 05:37, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Yes, I'd say Draco is definitely grateful that Harry was there in the ROR, but let's remember he didn't know it was Harry who saved him from the death eater. Nevertheless though, he was also grateful for that save because he DID smile. I believe though, even if Draco did have a debt to Harry, I don't think Harry would make Draco do anything for him. If Draco has a debt to Harry, then the whole wizarding world would have a debt to Harry. In the end, Harry and Draco have a mutual understanding of each other and a sort of respect for one another because in the epilogue, Draco nods to Harry, Ron, and Hermione.22.214.171.124 02:15, January 21, 2011 (UTC)Draco's_girl_4_life
- Technically, no; as far as Draco is concerned there is no debt: yes, Harry saved his life twice, but Harry owed him his life, when he refused to identify Harry back at Malfoy Manor. An argument could be made that he yielded the wands he was holding far too easily. Secondly, he was completely unaware as to the fact that Harry saved his live while invisible. He refused to ID Harry, then Harry saved him from the Fiendfyre... debt paid. 184.108.40.206 01:05, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
Notes for the real article
Astoria Greengrass
Astoria is Draco's wife and mother of his child, Scorpius. And years later a second child, who's name and gender was never given.
- Is there evidence of a second child? Howitoughttobe (talk) 22:32, September 23, 2013 (UTC)
The page says that Lucius and Narcissa were disappointed that Astoria was not descended from a Sacred 28 family, when in fact she is - the Greengrasses are one of the twenty-eight. Wingardiumleviosassy (talk) 16:31, February 22, 2018 (UTC)
- The page says that they expected more fervent Pure-Blood ideals from a member of a Sacred 28 family. --Ironyak1 (talk) 16:38, February 22, 2018 (UTC)
Pansy Parkinson
Pansy Parkinson-Draco and Pansy attended the Yule Ball together. Pansy is like a female Draco(his counterpart). In the 6th book, they are said to be even cozier with each other on the train.
Was Draco ever attracted to Pansy? Did they give any evidence of it in the books, I don't remember? Alvinatty4ever (talk) 22:29, March 24, 2014 (UTC)
Harry Potter
Harry Potter and Draco met in the Diagon Alley in 1991, and the latter caused a instantaneous dislike in Harry, that later become full animosity and dislike. Enemies, Draco would be the bigger source of taunting for Harry and his friends. Indeed, Draco was jealous of Harry's effortless fame and admiration.
Hermione Granger
During the Yule Ball, Hermione is described as being so beautiful that not even Draco can think of an insult to throw at her. This shows that although she is muggle-born, he is still aware of her attractiveness.
Ron Weasley
Draco always make fun about Ron's mother weight . --Roselyn 11:57, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
Draco also likes to point out how poor the Weasely Family is and how they are "Muggle Lovers" --Taylor 3:24, May 1, 2011
He makes fun of how poor the Weasleys are.
Neville Longbottom
- For the record, this article is currently being rewritten by myself here. An in-depth relationship section will be included. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 20:19, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Charlie Weasley
Charlie is not mentioned in the article but I have heard that they have interactions. Apparently a nickname for shipping them is 'Red Dragon', is this popular? Ty 03:01, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
Roger Davies
Even though the two do not interact directly, are there inferences in the book that the two might be cooperating behind the scenes? They seem to have a similar enemy in Harry for different reasons of supplanting the other romantically and magically. Ty 03:01, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
Middle Name
Where's Draco's middle name, does he even have one, or am I just missing something here? Palmala 16 June 18:39 if draco has a middle name (which he probably does), jkr has never disclosed it. as a fanfic writer i always use abraxas (his grandfather's name) because it seems very pure-blood to pass names down in a family, but there is no official answer. odjit 19 July
- I always use Abraxas as well. Odd! 220.127.116.11 22:45, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
Haha, DAM. Those would be his initials. Seems fitting. 126.96.36.199 23:06, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
I was thinking it was a bad word, but I'm mistaken. And, it's Lucius.
I FOUND a picture on Google that had his middle name stated as "Cibus". I don't know what it means or if it even fits, but it could be taken into consideration. I always thought "Lucius" or "Abraxus" was his middle name though.188.8.131.52 02:24, January 21, 2011 (UTC)Draco's_girl_4_life
His middle name is Lucius Dustin1998 02:12, January 21, 2012 (UTC)
- Source? 22.214.171.124 01:06, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
- Please see the discussion lower down on this page, "Middle Name, Redux." ProfessorTofty 02:59, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
Deathly Hallows film
Are Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle going to appear in Deathly Hallows film cause I didn't see them listed among the characters who would return in Deathly Hallows, so can someone who knows put in any info on the subject? Ghostkaiba297 22:38, 24 December 2008 (UTC)Ghostkaiba297
- Tom Felton, the actor who portrait Draco confirmed earlier that he included in the casting for Deathly Hallows, Visit his Twitter account for more updates. ----ÈnŔîčö (Send me an Owl) 17:26, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
- Crabbe is definetly not going to appear in the film.--Intrudgero98 13:14, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
- No, Crabbe doesn't, but in the book, it says he died because he started a fire in the room of requirements. DahSmartzCutie 00:06, February 3, 2012 (UTC)
Deductive skills
Is this realy a magical ability? It was just used for magical purposes?--Rodolphus 16:51, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
- Our Layout Guide currently doesn't include any guidelines pertaining to "Magical Abilities and Skills" sections. "Magical Abilities and Skills" is kind of an ambiguous section title, in that it's possible to read it so the adjective "magical" applies only to "abilities," and not to "skills." Such an interpretation would allow for the inclusion of general talents that aren't entirely dependent on magic. However, if we were to limit "Magical Abilities and Skills" to covering strictly magical talents, then coverage of Draco's deductive skills should be moved to "Personality and Traits." ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 21:51, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
I liked it in Harry Potter and the Philopher's stone, the Chamber Of Secrets, The Prisoner of Azkaban, The Goblet of Fire and the Order of the Phoenix that he was so evil. That he became a Death Eater was a twist for me, but for me is Draco always the same.--Station7 14:00, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
I think he should have a Slytherin infobox, because it is the most recent affiliation (he had defected the Death Eaters). User:Quirinus QuirrellTechnically Draco didn't defect. He was unaware of his parents change of loyalties until after the battle. The last words Draco speaks in the series are -
- "I'm Draco Malfoy, I'm Draco Malfoy, I'm one of you!"
- —Draco Malfoy to a Death Eater
- Not quite. Draco defected the Death Eaters during the Battle (or at least when it ended) as he and his family sat with all the others at the Great Hall. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 12:44, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
Also, didn´t JKR state he regret being a Death Eater in later life? I think the Slytherin box still qualifies best. Myrthle still uses her House box, despite not being a student for 55 years.--Rodolphus 17:55, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
- Not to mention Lockhart. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 18:00, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
- I'd agree with the Slytherin infobox, although technically I'd say it was more of desertion than defection. - Nick O'Demus 18:03, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
- I think we should definitely stick with the Slytherin infobox. Draco deserted/defected during the Battle of Hogwarts, and thus we have to default to his last known affiliation, as we don't know his current one (does he work for the Ministry or The Prophet, say?).
- Personally, I'd call it a defection, because I see evidence of him having doubts about Voldemort's cause in HBP and DH: his crying in Myrtle's bathroom, his inability to kill Dumbledore, and his hesititation in revealing the identities of The Trio at Malfoy Manor in DH. I think when he told the Death Eater "I'm one of you!" he was probably just trying to keep himself from getting harmed. He didn't join Dumbledore's Army, but after Crabbe's death in the RoR, he didn't fight against them — and I'd say losing an enemy has the same effect as gaining an ally. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 07:38, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
- Personally, I would only say that Regulus Black and Severus Snape are defectors because they actually turned against him and fought. They also defected at great risk. I wouldn't say Draco defected, he tried to capture Harry and he never went against him. If anyone of the malfoy's is a defector it would be Narcissa but ofcourse she wasn't a Death Eater. It is likely he regretted being one.
- I therefore think that he should either have a Death Eater inbfobox or maybe like lucius, a dark wizard inbox. A slytherin infobox would certainly be ok though. Also why does it say under loyalties ministry of magic?
- Abrawak 17:11, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
Why is Draco's page locked. Now I can edit this page if I want cause I've been here for a while but why is the page locked? I'm just curious. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Intrudgero98 (talk • contribs).
- Excessive fanon/vandalism edits a while back. - Nick O'Demus 14:25, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
Draco's Wand regarding Voldemort's death
I strongly suggest the removal of the line:
- "Ironically enough, it was Draco's wand that killed Tom Riddle once and for all, having been used by Harry in the final duel."
Since it is not Draco's wand that kills Voldemort but the rebounding killing curse Voldemort himself cast with the Elder Wand. Harry had just cast a Expelliarmus jinx at Voldemort, so it is impossible that Draco's wand was the killing weapon.Sings-With-Spirits 00:59, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Technically, the Elder Wand did belong to Draco. As Harry explains in the Great Hall, Draco earned the Elder Wand's allegiance when he disarmed Dumbledore on top of the Astronomy Tower near the end of Half-Blood Prince. --Cubs Fan (Talk to me) 02:31, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
- What's ironic is that the Elder Wand did once belong to Dumbledore, and in that case, Dumbledore's, Draco's, and Harry's wand killed Voldemort. The irony is that Dumbledore killed Voldemort, while Dumbledore was dead.22.214.171.124 00:31, April 19, 2011 (UTC)
- By that logic, Gellert Grimwald, Gregorovich the wandmaker and even Antioch Pevrell can take credit for killing Tom Riddle. It does not wash, particularly since the Elder Wand's allegiance at the time was to Harrym not Draco. 184.108.40.206 01:12, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
What's the point?
I have problems with the following bullet:
- The first time Draco saw Voldemort was at the Forbidden Forest, as the latter was sharing a body with Professor Quirrell. Draco was scared, and he screamed and ran far away, despite that his father served Voldemort in the First Wizarding War. It is unknown if Voldemort knew who Draco was when he first saw him, or if he remembered him when he became part of the Death Eaters.
While an interesting tidbit, we A) don't know that Draco ran far away, B) at best Draco was almost a year old when Voldemort went into hiding after the Potter disaster C) I find it hard to swallow that Voldemort would have paid any degree of attention to any baby (of any blood persuasion) to the point of recognizing him ten years later, in the dark, as he and Draco are running in fear (Draco from Quirrel/Voldemort and the latter from the witnesses). Sings-With-Spirits 01:10, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
- I mean if you were 11, possibly 12, and in a drak forest and you see a crouching hooded dark figure approaching you, you would run away too. --Hcoknhoj 03:40, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
Draco Malfoy Profile Picture
As Draco Malfoy is a major character, changes to his profile picture rate a vote. Those wishing to propose a new picture please post it below. Thanks, --JKoch(Owl Me!) 23:42, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
There's no need to vote unless there is major debate over the image.
The discussion for whether epilogue pictures should be used in infoboxes can be found at the Wizengamot. 184.108.40.206 08:34, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
Middle Name, redux
While cleaning up my bedroom, I came across a Harry Potter notebook that I remember came with my copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Inside there are some little random facts about the series and an entry about Malfoy names him "Draco Lucius Malfoy". I'm not so sure if this qualifies as sufficient canonical evidence given is so obscure... although it is an official product (as released by Editorial Presença). -- Seth Cooper owl post! 00:08, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
- Could you post a scan? - Nick O'Demus 11:26, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
- Here you go: -- Seth Cooper owl post! 18:31, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
Bumping. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 12:24, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
- What are some of the other bits of trivia from the notebook? How well does it overlap with known canon? If it lists Ron as "Ronald Arthur Weasley" or something (JKR revealed Ron's middle name as "Bilius" in 2004, but it was only revealed in the books in DH), then, yes, we should take it with a grain of salt. But, otherwise, I'm not really sure what would make a canon source count as too obscure to be taken into consideration. I'd say it's acceptable. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 23:33, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
- It lists Ron's middle name as "Bilius", Harry as "Harry James Potter" and Hermione "Hermione Jane Granger" (her official name prior to Deathly Hallows). The other bits of trivia aren't as much interesting (Dumbledore was the Headmaster of Hogwarts; Sirius was on the run for a crime he didn't commit; Lupin was a werewolf; the Dursleys were Harry's stepfamily, etc.). I'd say it overlaps with known canon fairly well. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 02:08, July 25, 2010 (UTC)
Wand confusion
Just wondering, but why is the Elder Wand under his list of wands? True, he was the Master of the Elder Wand, but he never used it.
My guess would be because the fact that he had master over it is significant to the storyline. --BachLynn(Accio!) 15:00, February 8, 2011 (UTC)
The "spider" shown in the picture is actually a type of scorpion :-) 126.96.36.199 23:17, April 11, 2011 (UTC)
Actually it is an Amblypygid, a creature related to spiders and scorpions. 184.108.40.206 12:41, February 3, 2013 (UTC)
In a picture from Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix, it shows Draco holding Neville with his wand at Neville's chin, the caption says "Draco hexing Neville", this isn't true as he doesn't use any spell in that scene.
Draco's patronus?
Does anyone know what Draco's patronus was? I think it wasn't mentioned in any of the books but I have read somewhere else that he couldn't conjure up a patronus at all. Any information about that?
Draco Malfoy didn't have a patrounus. Since it wasn't a common practice taught at Hogwarts (it was an advance magic that surprised the ministry that Harry even knew how to use one), most students other than those in the DA with Harry never had a patrounus. They never knew how to conjure one. If I had to guess one for Draco, I would say a patronus of some sort of animal that has something to do with trying to get freedom. Something in captivity, because Draco seems to be a character who doesn't quite know who he is yet. He's constantly trying to break free of his family, but because of the Dark Lord and him being a coward, he can't break free, and he's stuck being who his family wants him to be.
Hope this helped :)
- Erm, you're right about the Patronus - he can't cast one - but I disagree with your opinion on Draco's feelings towards his family. Indeed, one of the central themes of books six & seven is the extremely strong familial bond between the three Malfoys. Its why Draco tried to be a good DE so hard (even though he hated being one, why Narcissa lied to Voldemort - which is takes a lot of guts - and why Lucius suffered so much under Voldemort. Its even highlighted in DH: part 2, where the Malfoys apparate away together at the first chance. Obviously just my opinion, but I really think you missed the point of those installments. Green Zubat 20:40, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
- You know what, Green Zubat? I could not agree with you more on that! I think every bit of that is true. I never liked Draco in books/movies 1-5. But i fell in love with him when i saw/read the 6-8 movies/books because i love how diverse his character was. He had always, in the earlier movies/books, had been the one that everyone thought would amount to being the perfect Death Eater. But in the 6th movie he is only putting up with being a DE because he wants to make his family proud. And yes i totally agree with the bond between the three Malfoys. I think if it had not been for Snape I don`t think Dumbledore would have died that night(unless one of the other DE did). Draco would not have the heart to kill him. He is still the slightest bit on Harry's side. That is why he hesitated when the students were picking sides with Voldemort.Pottergal416(Foul, loathsome, evil, little cockroach!) 17:03, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
Draco.. in love with Hermione?
What? Source plz or it didn't happened. I found it on several twitter accounts, but I still think it's fake. I think it should be deleted unless there's REAL proof :/ —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs).
- You are right. It was a piece of fanon added by an unregistered user. I removed it. Thank you for pointing it out! -- Seth Cooper owl post! 21:42, July 28, 2011 (UTC)
- And people keep re-adding it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs).
- I think it is a piece of fanon by some Dramione fan. Unless an actual, acceptable source is presented (i.e. the actual interview in which Rowling says this) this information is not to be kept in the article. So far, all I could find were posts in Draco/Hermione Forums bearing announcements that "Rowling announced this-and-that" without presenting any link to the interview or anything else to verify that claim. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 17:57, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
Agreed. I've been looking around on accio-quote.org and JK's official site and I can't find anything of the sort. Its obviously some fabrication, but peeople just keep adding it! >:( Needs semi-protection, IMO Green Zubat 03:32, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

personally i think that Malfoy and Harry could have been friends and that draco's father hated him
I'm wondering, is Draco and Harry good friends?
- No, they are not. Sev Lover Forever 01:11, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
Wand Section?
Shouldn't his mother's wand be in the wand section on his infobox? I mean he used it after Harry took his wand. Emperordmb 18:48, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
Weasley Family Mistake!
Sorry but you wrote this in the Weasley Family Paragraph "Think my names funny,do you? No need to ask who you are. My Father told me all the Weasleys have red hair, freckles and more children then they can afford", when in the movie its actually "Think my names funny,do you? No need to ask yours, Red hair...and a hand me down robe. You must be a Weasley.
- There's no mistake. The quote is from the book and is attributed as such. --Cubs Fan (Talk to me) 12:32, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Most Disturbed Character?
With my Potterhead friend, I was talking to her about the different Harry Potter characters and who had the most tragic backstory. Draco doesn't have the most tragic backstory but I do think he's the most disturbed character. Does anyone agree with this? Alvinatty4ever (talk) 22:32, March 24, 2014 (UTC)
Black family tree portrait
Why does Draco has a portrait on the Black family tree ? I thought only Blacks by birth has portraits. Draco's mother, Narcissa Black has a portrait. But Draco is a Malfoy. Black is just the maiden name of his mother, Narcissa Black. Anne B. Ng Talk 12:23, May 9, 2014 (UTC)
Final Year at Hogwarts
There seem to be a couple of things wrong here. The Seventh book Draco's mother explicitly states at Easter that Draco is "home for his holiday" which very much suggests he was attending Hogwarts (or at a push a different school, though that seems highly unlikely). Surely the article should reflect this?
Also why does this page say "Afterwards, Draco and his family were detained to the Manor by Lord Voldemort" when referring to Harry's escape from Malfoy Manor? Apart from being poor English, Voldemort mocks Lucius for the fact that Draco has not joined him like the rest of the Slytherins during the Battle of Hogwarts. This implies that Draco did return to Hogwarts after the Easter holidays, otherwise why would Voldemort expect him to be with the other Slytherins? The fact that his mother asks if Draco is "still in the castle" is further evidence of this. Serenity Smiles (talk) 15:56, October 15, 2014 (UTC)
"Haughty good looks"
The article descrobes Malfoy has having "haughty good looks". Is there any source for this information? Caligaly (talk) 21:18, December 13, 2014 (UTC)
New category?
The Pottermore Biography reveals that one of Drqco's hobbies was Alchemy. Should he be placed into the Alchemist category?--Rodolphus (talk) 17:51, December 22, 2014 (UTC)
The wording of the "Later life" section is too close to that used on Draco's Pottermore biography. This should be reworded for originality. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 00:33, December 25, 2014 (UTC)
Patronus?does draco have a patronus and do you think it is possible that he could have had a patronus since his father could have possibly abused him and force him to come to their side and he could have only done that so he wouldn`t get hurt because calling Hermione a mudblood doesn`t make his blood any purer and also he didn`t want to kill Dumbledore and when Voldemort gave him a hug he didn`t hug back
- Snape was the only Death Eater to have a Patronus. -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 20:34, July 20, 2015 (UTC)
- To save the readers from having to slog through the whole text (the relevant bit is in the last quarter):
- Samantha: Was snape the only death eater who could produce a full patronus [sic]
- J.K. Rowling: Yes, because a Patronus is used against things that the Death Eaters generally generate, or fight alongside. They would not need Patronuses.
- --Sings-With-Spirits (talk) 02:49, July 21, 2015 (UTC)
- To save the readers from having to slog through the whole text (the relevant bit is in the last quarter):
Cursed Child
In the play (which JKR co-authored, so it's canon material), Draco makes things up with Harry, Ron, and Hermione (he even makes a flirty comment about liking be bossed around by Hermione), and it truly seems as if there is some reconciliation there as the four work towards the common cause of saving their children and the timeline they know.
You included Hermione as Minister of Magic from the play's source, but nothing is notated on Draco's page about it. Plans to add it anytime soon?
- I tend to take CC with a pinch of salt, since even the book acknowledges that it was mainly written by Thorne and Tiffany. Rowling had no part in actually writing the story. She is not a proper co-author. Rowling only helped with certain details only an original author could, but the story and writing, everything that the characters even say, were not written by her and mainly by Thorne.
- But obviously, it is an awkward situation! The entire thing is complicated, but the wikia has to have the information from CC. I guess his page could have a small piece about making amends. However, I think any line about him flirting with Hermione and implying that he had feelings for her, is unfounded and too bias of an interpretation. — RoseKate13 (talk) 14:54, November 22, 2017 (UTC)

The holidays are coming and it seems that nearly every toy includes the warning "Batteries Not Included" — or at least in my household it seems that way. I usually start stocking up on batteries when I find a deal so that I am ready for no matter what shoes up under our tree.
Walmart has 2 – 48 count boxes of AA or AAA Rayovac Batteries for just $20!! Shipping is just $0.97 for a total of $20.97 for 96 batteries! Even if you don't need this many, you could split your order with a friend and you could all save!
This item qualifies for free home shipping — when you spend $45 or more on qualifying items. So, it might be a good idea to find a few other items you need and have it all delivered right to your front door!

This will be my final post here at PLOS Blogs. It's been a great couple of years, but sadly PLOS has decided to change the licensing rules that govern its blogs, and the new arrangement just doesn't work for me as a freelance journalist.
When I was first invited to blog at PLOS, I had mixed feelings. I was honored to join such an illustrious gaggle of journalists and bloggers, among them Seth Mnookin, Steve Silberman, John Rennie, Emily Anthes, Deb Blum, Misha Angrist, and David Kroll. But I was conflicted about writing for free on a site that turns a profit for someone else.
I rationalized it like this: I was already blogging for free, at a WordPress site I'd just launched. Here was a chance to do the same thing, but with built-in traffic, a great group of colleagues, and free tech support. I climbed on board, and I'm grateful for the support, platform, and readership.
Since then, though, I've become even more uncomfortable with this whole economy of undervaluing content. In addition to everything else egregious about the widespread practice of offering writers no compensation but "exposure," I'm now convinced it creates an overall atmosphere of unprofessionalism–which in turn can blur lines, leading all parties to feel a little clueless about the nature of the relationship. I may be alone here, but I don't think it's a stretch to say this climate contributed to recent episodes of bad behavior. I'm certainly not excusing anyone: "Don't be a creep," as Laura Helmuth so eloquently put it, is still a basic and irrevocable rule of behavior. But, I mean, really: How can anyone feel good about themselves, or take themselves seriously as a professional, when they're being told their work is effectively worth nothing?
All of this has been weighing on me. And then PLOS decided to change its licensing rules. Until now, this blog has operated under a Creative Commons CC BY-NC license.
This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, and although their new works must also acknowledge you and be non-commercial, they don't have to license their derivative works on the same terms.
But as of tomorrow, the blogs will operate under the same license as the rest of PLOS, CC BY. Under these terms, someone could take my words, which no one paid me to write, and use them to make money themselves. I understand PLOS's desire to streamline its licensing, and I see why this makes sense in the context of the open access mission. If I were an academic, I'd probably be fine with it.
As someone who earns a living solely as a freelance writer, though, I just can't do it. Even if it's only a theoretical objection (I mean, really, who's going to make money off my blog posts?), it's still a valid one: I'd be saying it's okay to give away my work for free so someone else can profit from it. Logically, it doesn't make sense.
I'll be relaunching Tooth & Claw elsewhere eventually–though for now I'm a little overcommitted, between writing feature stories and taking care of my son, who was born in August. For now, thanks for reading.

Horace C. Jones II, 94, formerly of Chestnut Hill, a retired textile executive, died June 8 at Fox Hill Village, a retirement community in Westwood, Mass.
Mr. Jones retired in 1978 as chairman and CEO of Burlington Industries. He was named vice president of Burlington in 1960 when it acquired the Lees Carpet Co., where he had been president.
Mr. Jones also had been chairman and president of Chestnut Hill Hospital from 1979-1980 and president of the Travelers Aid Society of Philadelphia from 1954-55.
During his business career, he had served on the board of directors of Burlington Industries, Union Carbide Company, Union Camp Corporation, Wachovia Bank & Trust, Beneficial Savings Bank of Philadelphia, Provident Mutual Insurance Company of Philadelphia, and Russell Reynolds Associates.
Mr. Jones was involved in numerous religious, cultural and civic philanthropic pursuits. He was a Knight of Malta and contributed to and participated in many church and parish activities in both Philadelphia and South Dartmouth, Mass., where the family moved in 1990.
He was also an avid gardener and golfer, having been named the Philadelphia area Junior Golf Champion in 1937.
Mr. Jones is survived by sons Spencer Jones, of Westwood, Mass., Joseph Jones, of Wyndmoor, and Conrad Jones, of Hellertown; daughters Margaret Connors, of Sugar Hill, N.H., Joy Marsh, of Chestnut Hill, Ann Cole, of Fairfield, Mass., and Katherine Stillwell, of Dedham, Mass.; 22 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.

I had a thought yesterday when I was driving to work and listening to a discussion about RG3, Luck, and Wilson for ROY. I think Wilson is definitely in the discussion, and even more so after yesterday's performance. But we all know and fear the East Coast bias.
I was thinking about RG3 being out with the injury and how that might affect the ROY race. Most of the discussion I have heard has been talking about how RG3 going down will negatively impact his chances of winning ROY. I actually think it COULD HELP his chances!
Think of it this way...
While RG3 is out, if Kirk Cousins is even mediocre and the Redskins falter at all, it will only reinforce the belief in how good RG3 is and how important his success has been to the success of the Redskins this year. If they start faltering as soon as he goes down, I can see many pointing to that as a reason why he SHOULD be ROY.
With Cousins, the comparison will be between 2 rookie QBs leading the same team, and if Cousins doesn't do well, RG3 will only look that much better in the eyes of the voters. In the NFL, absence makes the heart grow fonder when your replacement stinks.
These were my thoughts before yesterday's games took place. And how did Cousins do yesterday?
26/37 70.27 completion percentage
329 yards
2 TDs 1 INT
Redskins win 38-21
One of the articles I read said "the Redskins barely missed a beat without the talented and multi-dimensional Griffin."
Depending on how the media look at this, it could slightly help RoboRussell's chances to move up in the discussion.
On a side note, how amazing is this year's class of rookie QBs? Best we've ever seen when all is said and done?

Why every company has a chemical footprint
April 19, 2013 Mark Rossi GreenBiz Blogs
What is your company's chemical footprint?
You may think this question does not apply to your organization because it doesn't use chemicals. Yet all products are made from chemicals. Chemicals are the building blocks of matter, which is what we make products from. Thus all companies use chemicals by virtue of the products they purchase, use and sell. Buildings are also part of the "products" that organizations buy, from the shell to the interior components, such as flooring, wall coverings and chairs.
Concerns about chemicals in products and supply chains are increasingly capturing the attention of business leaders as exemplified by three of GreenBiz's Top 12 stories in 2012:
• No. 1: "McDonald's launches pilot program to drop polystyrene coffee cups"
• No. 5: "Will the Plastics Industry Kill LEED?"
• No. 10: "How Toxic is the iPhone 5?"
This growing concern with chemicals underscores the need for a metric -- a "chemical footprint" -- that will enable businesses to evaluate chemicals just as they evaluate their water, carbon, energy and waste footprints.
Chemical footprinting is in its infancy. Richard Liroff's pioneering work on chemical footprinting at GreenBiz has highlighted the need for companies to know the chemicals in their products, to assess the hazards of those chemicals and to work with suppliers to avoid toxic chemicals and select safer alternatives.
Building from Liroff's work, I define "chemical footprinting" as the process of evaluating progress away from chemicals of concern to human health or the environment to safer chemicals -- chemicals that have a lower hazard profile than the ones they replace (for example, as defined by the GreenScreen for Safer Chemicals). In this way, a "chemical footprint" is a measure of the actions an organization takes to advance the development and use of safer chemicals in products and across supply chains. Such actions include:
- Knowing chemicals in products and supply chains.
- Disclosing chemicals in products and supply chains to the public.
- Assessing chemicals in products and supply chains for their inherent hazards.
- Acting: selecting safer chemicals and avoiding chemicals of concern to human health and the environment.
- Improving: setting goals for improving chemical footprint and publicly reporting on progress towards those goals.
- Supporting voluntary initiatives and public policies that advance the avoidance of chemicals of concern and the production and use of safer chemicals.

Camphene oil was invented in the 1820s as a cheaper alternative to whale oil and a cleaner and easier-to-use alternative to lard oil. Also known as "burning oil," camphene was made by mixing freshly distilled turpentine with alcohol. By the late 1850s, whale oil cost $1.50 a gallon, while camphene oil sold for sixty cents. Camphene oil, however, was dangerously explosive. Experts warned against the use of camphene oil in the home. In 1857, Godey's Lady's Book told its readers that it was "suicidal" to use these lamps in the house.
