- "I'd take you on any time on my own. Tonight, if you want. Wizard's duel. Wands only – no contact. What's the matter? Never heard of a wizard's duel before, I suppose?"
- —Draco Malfoy challenging Harry Potter to a duel in 1991[src]
A duel is a confrontation between two or more wizards or witches. The combatants face each other, bow, and then attempt to disarm, injure, or kill each other in order to force submission, and thus a winner is decided. Opponents are only permitted to use magical means of combat.
There are rules and customs that define how a proper duel is performed and that are normally known to wizards and witches born to magical families, even at a young age. Ron Weasley, for instance, told Harry Potter some of the rules of duelling as a first year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry after Harry was challenged to a duel by Draco Malfoy in 1991. In the 1992–1993 school year Gilderoy Lockhart formed the duelling club, in which duelling strips were used in a system similar to that of modern fencing.[1].
The challengeEdit
- "You have been taught how to duel Harry Potter? We bow to each other, Harry. Come, the niceties must be observed… Dumbledore would like you to show manners… Bow to death, Harry… I said, bow."
- —Lord Voldemort to Harry Potter in the graveyard of Little Hangleton[src]
In a formal duel, one wizard or witch challenges another, although it is implied that duels are not commonplace in modern polite society. If the other person accepts, they then arrange a meeting time and place for the duel. Draco challenged Harry this way in their first year, though it was really an attempt to get Harry into trouble for being out of his dormitories after curfew[2]. Opponents bow to one another before beginning to fight, as Lord Voldemort reminded Harry Potter before their duel in the graveyard of Little Hangleton in 1995.[3] Lockhart has gone as far as twirling his hands while bowing, possibly trying to make himself look more gentlemanly. However, duellists who do not respect their opponents do not usually bow correctly, as Snape simply jerked his head, while Harry, Draco Malfoy, and Voldemort barely bent their heads at all.
- "Well, a second's there to take over if you die..."
- —Ron Weasley[src]
Duellists will often have a "second" in a formal duel — a person, usually a trusted ally, who will act as a replacement for one duellist if necessary. Ron Weasley volunteered to be Harry's second in the aforementioned planned duel with Draco, who chose Vincent Crabbe.[1]
There is a standard rule in duels that only magical means may be used to fight an opponent, and that there is to be no physical contact between the duellists[2]. Millicent Bulstrode broke this rule when she duelled Hermione Granger in 1992 in the Duelling Club; the much larger girl ended up wrestling Hermione to the ground and holding her in a headlock.[4]
The parties of a duel might also agree to other limits, unless planning to duel to the death, which is only common practice in a war. Minerva McGonagall, for example, informed fellow professor Horace Slughorn just before the Battle of Hogwarts that if any Slytherin attempted to sabotage their defence efforts or to fight them, they would "duel to kill", which alarmed him[5]. This may indicate that duellists generally agree not to use particularly dangerous and/or illegal spells, such as the Unforgivable Curses.
Practice duelsEdit
Duels can also be used for training purposes, as was the case in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1992, when Defence Against the Dark Arts professor Gilderoy Lockhart founded the short-lived Duelling Club. Its function was to teach students self-defence while "Slytherin's Monster" was on the loose. The club did not last long, as Professor Lockhart was incompetent.[4]
Notable duelsEdit
|Alberta Toothill vs. Samson Wiblin
|All-England Wizarding Duelling Competition in 1430
|Alberta Toothill won the competition using a Blasting Curse.
|Egbert the Egregious vs. Emeric the Evil
|Battle for the Elder Wand
|Egbert defeats Emeric and becomes the master of the Elder Wand. It should be noted that he was the only known wizard, apart from Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter, to defeat the owner of the Elder Wand in a duel.
|Albus vs Aberforth Dumbledore vs. Gellert Grindelwald
|Albus and Grindelwald were going to expose the wizarding world and enslave muggles. Aberforth tried to stop them but Gellert was furious with him and tortured Aberforth. Albus protected his brother and a three-way Duel broke out (Duel at Godric's Hollow).
|By the end of the duel Ariana Dumbledore stepped in and was killed by a rogue spell. Gellert fled and the two brothers were left in ruins.
|Albus Dumbledore vs. Gellert Grindelwald
|Arguably the greatest duel in history. Dumbledore confronted Grindelwald, a powerful Dark Wizard who possessed the Elder Wand and who was gaining power in the wizarding world, in 1945 (Duel between Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald).
|Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald, who was subsequently imprisoned in Nurmengard, in what witnesses described as the greatest duel ever fought.[1]
|Girl who played Amata vs. Girl who played Asha
|Before a production of The Fountain of Fair Fortune the Boy who played Sir Luckless broke up with "Amata" and fell for "Asha"
|As the Ashwinder that portrayed the worm exploding in a spray of hot ash, "Amata" and "Asha" turned on each other and began duelling. Who won is unknown, as the hall was vacated. [6]
|Gilderoy Lockhart vs. Severus Snape
|A demonstration for the Duelling Club in 1992. There was also small duels between Harry and Draco, Seamus Finnigan and Ron Weasley, Neville Longbottom and Justin Finch-Fletchley and Hermione Granger with Millicent Bulstrode. The outcomes of these duels were Harry getting knocked down but placing a Tickling Charm on Draco, Ron's broken wand had knocked Seamus over, Neville and Justin were lying on the ground beaten and Millicent had Hermione in a head lock and both there wands on the floor.
|Snape easily defeated Lockhart, who was made to look even clumsier than usual.[4]
|Harry Potter vs. Draco Malfoy
|Harry communicated with the snake conjured by Draco, therefore learning (along with the rest of the school) that he could speak Parseltongue.[1]
|Ministry of Magic Workers vs. Death Eaters
|Riot at the 1994 Quidditch World Cup

|Albus Dumbledore vs. Cornelius Fudge, Dolores Umbridge, John Dawlish, Percy Weasley and Kingsley Shacklebolt
|In 1996 after Dumbledores Army got exposed to Umbridge, Dumbledore blamed himself for the organisation to protect Harry and Fudge ordered Dawlish and Kingsley to arrest Dumbledore.
|Dumbledore incapacitated Fudge, Umbridge, Dawlish, Percy and Kingsley despite the fact that Kingsley (Who was the only notably powerful one out of them) was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, as it would raise suspicion by Fudge. This allowed Dumbledore to escape from Hogwarts with Fawkes before they could recover.
|Rubeus Hagrid, Fang and Minerva McGonagall vs. Dolores Umbridge, John Dawlish and 5 other Aurors
|Umbridge attempted to sack and arrest Hagrid during the night with some Aurors but McGonagall intervened.

Medical research is starting to show that having a pet may contribute to a longer life for you.
In particular, the elderly or those who live alone may benefit most, but everyone is a potential beneficiary.
The University of Missouri's Rebecca Johnson said in a news release that, "Research in this field is providing new evidence on the positive impact pets have in our lives."
The health benefits include lower blood pressure, encouragement to exercise and improved psychological health. Pets can contribute to improved health, but be aware that some pet diseases can be transmitted to humans. Proper care, cleanliness and attention to the animals health is a responsibility to the animal as well as insuring your continued good health.
CNN.com reports that a recent study by Dr. Karen Allen of the State University of New York at Buffalo looked at 48 stockbrokers with hypertension. Half the candidates adopted a cat or dog at the beginning of the study. After a significant period passed, stress tests that the ones without pets were twice as stressed.
The same report quoted Dr. Lynette Hart, associate professor at the University of California at Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.
"Studies have shown that Alzheimer's (disease) patients have fewer anxious outbursts if there is an animal in the home," she said. "Their caregivers also feel less burdened when there is a pet, particularly if it is a cat, which generally requires less care than a dog."
Do these reports mean that everyone should dash out and purchase a cat or dog? That is definitely not the case. Each individual must evaluate their circumstances and determine the potential benefits and enjoyment of having a pet as opposed to the responsibilities, expense and any inconvenience that a pet might cause.
North Dakota State University stresses the requirements of time and expense in caring for a pet. Pets require health exams, immunizations and you should consider options such as neutering or spaying. Also, people with allergies or asthma might not be able to have pets without adverse effects.
And animals can carry parasites and disease, so owners must take proper precautions. Washing hands after contact with animals is always a good thing. Checking animals for fleas, ticks and other parasites as well as regularly scheduled check-ups by veterinarians is a good idea.
Help In Nursing Homes
One of the positive benefits of having pets is to shift the focus from our own problems to the companionship factor that a pet brings. Our interactions with them get us involved in activities other than being totally introspective and dwelling on our problems, whether they be real or imagined.
Nursing homes have found that having animals brought in by outsiders to visit has a very positive effect on the mental state of the residents. Many who are withdrawn respond to the affection of a friendly animal. Dogs are particularly good in this role because of their more affectionate nature with strangers. Cats can work in this role, but are sometimes more aloof.
Animals such as dogs and monkeys acting as helpers for the blind or otherwise handicapped individuals have proved to be invaluable. Many of these people are able to be much more independent because of the companionship and assistance that these animals provide.
Based on the overwhelming positive information available, we must conclude that animals definitely have a positive impact on the health of humans.

Jeanette J.A. Holden, PhD, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, CANADA
This is a story about Jim – my younger brother. We grew up in Vancouver, BC., with my other brother, Brian, and we were blessed to have both our parents until 1988, when our father passed away. Mom is now 82; I brought Jim and her to live with me in Kingston, Ontario in June 2000. For several years now, I have been sharing stories about Jim, who has autism, with anyone who will listen. He is a great inspiration to me and I feel I owe him everything that I have achieved.
Jim has classical autism. That diagnosis didn't come easily – he had several diagnoses when he was young, from mental retardation to cerebral palsy. Ever since I was about 10, all I wanted to do was to find out what Jim "had" and to figure out how to "cure" it and make him normal, so he could enjoy the school dances, and skating parties, and going to university, just like Brian and me. I wanted to do research to help Jim.
As a child, Jim appeared to be essentially non-verbal. He tried very hard to say words, but they all came out pretty much the same – "unghhh" "arnghhh" – sounds that had no clear meaning. He would repeat the same sound over and over when he wanted to tell us something. He could go on for half an hour, with us guessing. When we finally got it right, he was overjoyed. He had such patience – patience I have never known in anyone else. In time, he learned to say some simple words and phrases. I remember how he would like to tell us that he recognized a song on the stereo – he would rush down to his room, check all his 45's or LPs and find the same song and put it on the record player (often in synchrony with the song on the radio!) and say "1, 2, the same". He was telling us that he knew that these were the same song.
Jim loved books too – our family didn't have much money, but I remember we bought him the Funk and Wagnallis Encyclopedia – from the Dominion or one of the other chain grocery stores: 49 cents for the 1st volume and 99 cents for the next ones. They had diagrams of each item, and Jim would look at these over and over again. One day there was a documentary on icebergs on TV and we were all watching it. Jim went over to his encyclopedia and picked out the right volume and opened the page at "Icebergs" and again repeated "1, 2, the same". Jim did not read, he knew not a single letter of the alphabet, and we had not been reading the encyclopedia to him – he simply made the connection from a drawing in a book to the photographs on TV. He was continuously surprising us. I often said, as we were growing up, that if Jim could talk, he would be far brighter than Brian and me.
When Jim was 20, I was in Basel, Switzerland doing postdoctoral research. I longed to read something in English, and went to the English bookstore, where the book "The Siege" by Clara Claiborne Park was prominently displayed. I still remember the display vividly. I picked up the book, which I still have, and read it from cover to cover in a couple of days. Soon after I started reading it, I realized that this book was "about Jim": Jim had autism. He had all the characteristics of classical autism, except that he clearly loved us and recognized us. Or so I thought…When I wrote home sharing my findings with our Mother, she wrote back and said "No, dear, Jim has all the characteristics – all of them". As his sister, I had simply assumed that he loved us, just as we loved him. And, I know he did – but he didn't show it…. He didn't know how. Reciprocal social interaction was one of his great weaknesses.
Jim wasn't properly diagnosed until he was 35 – when there was a review of all individuals in Sheltered Workshops in BC. Ironically, a high-school friend of mine assessed Jim, and he was given an official diagnosis of classical autism. Although one might think that a diagnosis at this late age probably wouldn't make much difference – it did! With a diagnosis, one knows where to look for information and help. And, although we realized it earlier, those who were working with Jim on a daily basis didn't. I don't know if it ever really made much difference to those who worked with him – they never really understood that Jim liked routines and that any departure from routine was very disruptive to him unless he was warned beforehand.
Jim never forgot promises, either. Ever. So, if something was promised, and then not delivered, he could become very upset – he wouldn't understand why what was promised didn't happen. He did, however, understand it when a change was discussed with him: if we told him ahead of time that plans were changed, he was extremely accepting of the change.
I think most people incorrectly assume that a person who is non-verbal doesn't understand what another person says. We need to ensure that we all respect those who are non-verbal and offer them the same explanation that we would someone who is verbal. Despite telling all those who worked with Jim, over and over again about this, it was rare that they explained anything – and Jim would have a "tantrum" or become upset when things were not the way they usually were. Is it any wonder why he was upset? When it happens to us, we get upset – yet they shouldn't get upset. That doesn't make sense.
About 6 years ago, my mother and two brothers were visiting from Vancouver, and I invited a speech and language pathologist colleague of mine to have lunch with us. I wanted her to listen to Jim and see if we could somehow improve his speech. Communication is perhaps the most important gift that we have: whether it is verbal or non-verbal, the ability to tell others how we feel, what we want, who we like defines us and our relationships. Can you imagine never being able to ask for a drink of water when you are thirsty? Or telling someone about something that makes you extremely happy, joyful or sad? Not being able to share our thoughts with others makes one very lonely and alone in the world. I knew that Mom, Brian and I usually understood Jim, but I worried about how he would cope when we aren't there to interpret. I really wanted her to say that "Yes, we can make him speak more clearly, so everyone can understand him." I really, really wanted her to say that.
Instead, she asked me something strange – whether Jim had ever had an audiology test. I looked at her in surprise and ask "Why? Why would we have his hearing tested? He can hear a lawnmower 4 blocks away, from inside the house. He can hear an airplane – from inside the house – and runs to the window or door to see it, and tells us what kind of plane it is! He can hear – he hears everything! Including things we don't hear." When I again asked "Why?", she said, because his ears are abnormal. I was stunned. I had never noticed, but she was right. They were abnormal. Shortly after Mom and Jim moved to Kingston, Jim had an appointment with the audiologist. We all went in together, in case Jim didn't understand the instructions. After about an hour, the audiologist told us that Jim had moderate hearing loss, and probably had it all his life. I cried and I cried. We had had no idea that Jim couldn't hear us – so when he said "unghhh" or "arnghhh", he was simply repeating what he heard. And he repeated it and repeated it – exactly how he heard it. He understood us, but we didn't understand him – despite the fact that he was repeating exactly what he heard. It still hurts beyond what I can say – it hurts so deeply to know that for 45 years, we didn't know that Jim couldn't hear us clearly, that he only probably heard the middle parts of words. You see, if you know that someone is hearing impaired, you adjust what you say, how fast you say it, and you speak slowly and clearly, with simple words. When you don't know this, you make no adjustments – and that isn't fair. For 45 years, we didn't know and yet he never gave up on us.
The audiologist thought that a hearing aid might be helpful, but Jim might have a lot of trouble handling it, as it is a delicate piece of equipment. And Jim wasn't sure that this is what he wanted – we felt it was important for him to want whatever he might eventually get to help his hearing. I should also point out, though, that Jim is a very very happy person – he is undoubtedly the happiest person I have ever known. We should all be so lucky to be so happy. Happy despite the incredible frustration he must have felt every day of his life, understanding us, and repeating what he heard, but with no-one understanding him.
The following parts of Jim's story will seem like magic – largely because they are. Nothing was planned, yet everything happened in the right order and at the right time…
In December 2002, I was writing a research grant with some colleagues, entitled "The Healthcare Equity for Intellectually Disabled Individuals (HEIDI) Program". One of the areas that I intimately knew was not the same for persons with developmental disabilities and "typical" individuals was access to hearing tests. I called the Canadian Hearing Society office in Kingston, explained the basis for the grant, and asked for a letter of support. The executive director was so supportive and when I went to pick the letter up, as I waited I noticed a small notice that said that someone would come to the home with examples of hearing aids, if we wanted. I spoke to the receptionist, gave her my name and contact information, and said that I would like to speak with someone about a home visit. After explaining our situation, and about Jim's autism, we were visited by a lovely lady from the Hearing Society visited us in March 2003. Instead of bringing hearing aids, she brought something that would change all of our lives forever. She brought a couple of personal FM systems, which are small units consisting of a microphone, amplifier, a receiver and headphones. Jim was excited by this because he likes headphones a lot.
This wasn't Jim's first introduction to technology that might help him. Jim started using a computer about a year before the FM system was introduced to him. He had a Tonka Workshop – a set of plastic tools are placed on a workbench over the keyboard and, using a mouse, Jim would go through a program that let him make choices about what he would like to "make" and then gave instructions on how to make it, using, for example, a saw, hammer, sander, drill, Jim didn't yet type, but he had liked tools for a long time, using them with our father, so he enjoyed the program a lot.
Jim didn't take to the FM system immediately. Using it did not come naturally – until after about a month, we decided to use the microphone to amplify what was said on the computer or on TV by placing the microphone near the speakers. After a couple of tries, Jim was excited to use the FM system – particularly while watching TV. He would sit at the edge of his chair and listen intently. It seemed as though he was getting more out of watching TV than he ever had before. And he listened to the entire shows. And suddenly he began to tell us things – tell us about the story on TV. Until then, Jim had never told us anything. He answered questions that we phrased in such a way that he could say yes or no – or a single word would be the answer. But he never told us anything. And now he was telling us what was on TV, what was on his computer screen, he simply started talking. He wasn't perfectly clear – he was still quite difficult to understand, but he initiated conversations. His speech did improve, and he wanted another computer game, so I got him a different Construction game. This didn't have an overlay, so he had to manipulate the mouse a lot to play the game. He became proficient and his dexterity improved immensely. After playing that game for a few months, I noticed something new on the screen. Upon closer inspection, I realized that he had found something else in the program – and he had figured out what to do with this new part of the program! He was discovering things for himself and teaching himself!
Although Jim's pronunciation had improved, other people still had trouble understanding him. Because so many more people would understand him if he could write what he wanted, our next task was to teach Jim to write and to read. In February, 2004, as I was shopping at Staples (which I often did and do, for office supplies for our research), I overheard one of the salesladies saying (to herself) that she should "buy one of these for my daughter". Having eavesdropped on her private conversation, I quietly asked her "what?" and she kindly replied, one of these "things" to help her daughter learn to spell. I quickly picked one up and checked it out, and clearly this could be the beginning of writing for Jim. It was a Leap Frog Phonics Writing Desk, a small hand-held device that had large colourful letters of the alphabet, and – among other things – one could learn to spell 3-letter words. After pressing each letter, a voice would say the letter, and upon completion of the word, the voice would say the word. Jim took to it immediately, and within a few days knew 20 words. Within about 6 weeks, he knew more than 100 3-letter words, (thanks in part to JoAnne who worked with Jim 2 days a week, 6 hours a day).
Jim didn't want to stop! He worked day and night to learn more. After about 100 3-letter words, I ran out of new words that I could define so he knew what they were! It was time to start looking into a new, more versatile device. Not everything worked, though. I explained what Jim was doing to a psychologist I had met at a meeting in Vancouver and she suggested Clicker 4 might be an appropriate program. After long delays, we finally got it and a special Intellikeys keyboard that can be configured in different ways. We set it up the same as the Leap Frog, making it a seemingly relatively easy transition for Jim. Clicker 4 didn't work for Jim – the voice was not right and I had troubles with it.
On June 3, 2004, Jim began working with WriteOutloud, a program that a friend mentioned her non-verbal son with autism used and he was already writing long sentences! That seemed like a dream for us. It took Jim only a few days to get used to the computer and typing on the IntelliKeys keyboard. He started with the 3-letter words he had been doing, but on June 7th he was ready to write BRIAN, which he did. By June 23rd he realized the power of what he could now do and wanted to learn how to write "To Serve and Protect". It was the beginning – a beginning that really hasn't stopped. By June 28th, he was correcting words that he misspelled and the thirst for knowledge that he had before we started, exploded. He started copying short sentences by June 30th. He didn't compose them himself, but he did tell us what he wanted to write about.
Late on August 5, Brian and my sister-in-law Gayle arrived from Vancouver. They knew nothing of what Jim was doing because we wanted to surprise them. We did! Jim typed "Brian is my brother" for Brian, which we have captured on videotape. Although Jim copied this, "Brian" and "is" were from memory. Jim does not understand phonics and thus all he learns is by memorizing. The morning was magical – Jim wanted to type ADAM-12, so we showed him ADAM TWELVE, since the Intellikeys keyboard does not have numbers. Although it didn't look right, it sounded right. He was clearly disappointed, so I showed him how to do ADAM on the IntelliKeys keyboard and 12 with a regular QWERTY keyboard. He was ecstatic and immediately worked it out himself, switching from keyboard to keyboard.
While Jim was showing Brian what he could do, Carol (his speech/language pathologist) and I were discussing what Jim's next steps should be. She suggested that he should also learn to use small letters (until then, he only used capital letters). After that, she thought, we should change the coloured letters to black, so he didn't have the colour cues anymore, making it more typical of what he would see in print. Finally, she suggested we should switch to a QWERTY format on the IntelliKeys keyboard, before switching to a regular keyboard. She thought this transition would take about 6 months. I thought she was trying to make me feel good by saying such a "short time".
Since we were videotaping Jim, I thought it would be good to see how he worked on a regular keyboard before this process began. We handed him the keyboard and asked him to type ADAM-12 on his regular keyboard. He did it immediately! Stunned yet again, we suggested he write To Serve and Protect – although he had to search for the letters, he was able to do this without any problems! What Carol thought would take 6 months, happened almost immediately! From then on, Jim used both keyboards, depending on what he felt like doing.
Jim continues to progress. Though it's not easy to teach when to use capital letters, he learned to use small letters and to use capital letters at the beginning of words. He likes to copy new words from something that is written down – either on cue cards, or in a book. A few weeks ago, he went to the library with JoAnne to see if they could find something on Hawaii-Five O. They spoke to the librarian, and when she started to look something up in their computer, Jim proudly (and loudly) spelled H-A-W-A-I-I – Hawaii! JoAnne said she was so proud of him – and the librarian was clearly impressed! Jim's self-confidence was certainly mounting.
Jim is now telling us what he wants to learn to write and he even composes his own short sentences. He talks constantly in the evenings, telling us everything he wants to write the next day. There is never even a moment when we think we'd like him to stop – never. We waited 50 years for this, and he's just catching up on lost time. I am so happy that Mom gets to see this.
Jim is now starting to learn how to read, which is something he really wants to do. Reading is far more difficult for Jim because, remember, he types words from memory, not from phonics. But he seems to be "getting it" – he is starting with cue cards, with JoAnne – it is slow, but we can wait. After all, he waited patiently for more than 50 years to be heard and understood, and now we simply have to provide him the opportunities for each new step towards his independence.
The last two years have been similar to the magic in "Awakenings". Jim had his first eye contact with me ever last spring – he now looks at people more and seems to benefit from eye contact. He articulates more clearly than ever, and many people now understand quite a few of his words. He practices these all the time, repeating after he hears the computer voice say a word or sentence. He is tracing letters so he can learn to write – what was so awkward for him a year ago, is changing to fluidity. He is spatially more aware: When we moved to a new house last July, Jim would move a box and, if it was too wide for a doorway, he would stop, unable to figure out how to turn it so it would go through the doorway. This is no longer a problem – he figures out all kinds of situations now.
Through all of this transition, Jim has remained cheerful and excited about life. He chooses when to use his FM system and when not to. He chooses what he wants to do during the day or evening. He helps with cooking and continues to love to vacuum (thank goodness!). He plays and "talks" with our cats. And he smiles, and he looks us in the eyes with love.
Jim is an inspiration to me – but he should also be an inspiration to all parents who have a child with autism. Jim needed one-on-one help and the opportunity to explore with the right tools. Neither my Mom nor I could give him the intensity that he needed without the tools. Jim needed the FM system, the Leap Frog and a computer program that reinforced everything he did at the keyboard. I think that using the FM system taught him the value of communication because he could now hear what was going on when people were talking together on TV and he began to tell us about what was happening. He just needed the opportunities that everyone had when we went to school. After all, where would we be without 12 years of intensive intervention? Some of us needed more than that! I needed 19 years! Jim just started late because the doors were closed to him when he was 6. They're open now and they will not be shut again.
Thank you, Jim – for giving us all hope that one day all people will be respected equally; that one day, those who need the extra help, will be given it without hesitation. Thank you for being you.
And now, full swing – my own research into the Genetics of Autism Spectrum Disorders continues, but we have added some new studies. We are beginning a study of other adults with autism, to see whether a personal FM system can augment their communication skills. And, then we hope to try to teach literacy skills to those who are interested. Since there are so few interventions for adults with autism, we hope that the example of Jim will provide new avenues for providing the tools to enjoy that which we all take for granted – the ability to communicate.

Lately I've been mostly successful at stemming the craving, but last night I fell down hard in that aisle at Walgreen's where the Easter candy is on sale. At bedtime it was nibble, nibble in between browsing Heirloom Knitting for a new Big Lace Project.
So I had a nightmare. It's one I have quite a bit, about once a month.
I was back at my first (and worst) job ever, stocking shelves at a forlorn supermarket in a depressing corner of upstate New York. I was paid minimum wage, minus the usual taxes plus weekly union dues that were equal to about 50% of my take-home pay.
The official job responsibilities were what you'd expect. I lugged boxes to and fro. I wrangled shopping carts that were determined to escape from the parking lot. I cleaned up spills, wielded a price gun with little skill and less enthusiasm, and suffered the insults of a supervisor five years my senior who had been rejected by Harvard (which he knew I was getting ready to attend) and was not happy with his lot in life.
He liked to give me the heaviest lifting to do, particularly as I was the youngest and smallest of the stock boys. Sisyphean tasks were his forte:
Move these thirty ten-pound boxes from this side of the stock room to that side. No, you can't use a cart. Carry them. Shoot, you just finished moving the whole stack? I just realized they shouldn't have been moved. Put them all back where they were. And do it faster this time. I'll be watching the clock.Annoying, but honestly no worse than stocking shelves. And it was good for my biceps.
The night supervisor, however, was a genuine sadist. He was a guy from my high school who'd been on two dates with one of my best friends, an enormously pretty girl named Candace. She'd apparently spent most of those two dates talking about what a sweetheart I was. Then she told him to get lost. He was therefore not inclined to look upon me kindly.
After his unfortunate affaire de coeur with the lovely Candace, alarming things began to happen on the shop floor. I'd be pushing a cart through the stock room and suddenly a full, heavy box of canned food would land with an explosive CRASH on the floor next to me. I'd look up, and he'd wave from the catwalk. "Oops!" he'd shout, grinning impishly. "Must've lost my grip!"
Six-foot stacks of boxes would topple as I passed. Full pallets would zoom down the aisle and knock me flat. I'd climb a ladder to reach a high shelf and find myself heading for the floor. "Wow," he'd say, smiling down at me, "You gotta be more careful about where you set up, slick."
I learned very early in childhood that it was no good appealing to authority about stuff like this. Rumors aside, I don't know what it's like to grow up as a little girl. But when you're a little boy, you discover fast that asking for help with bullies does no good. You get one of two stock responses:
- You better learn to fight back.
- If you're gonna act like a sissy, you deserve what you get.
So I said nothing, and kept my eyes open for runaway cans.
And then–and here is the scene that replays in my dreams–there was a late shift when the box crusher jammed. The box crusher was a big, green cage into which empty cardboard boxes were heaped. When the cage was full, the contents were pressed into a compact bale by the machinery, then tied with wires and ejected for disposal.
There was a huge sign on the side of this thing indicating that nobody under 18 was even supposed to touch it. I was 16, but when I asked questions about the sign the day supervisor told me to shut up and do what I was told. I became fairly proficient with loading, crushing, and bailing. It wasn't especially scary or difficult. If I pretended my boss was inside, it was fun.
But the night it jammed, the late shift supervisor ordered me to crawl inside and fix it. I was, he pointed out, the only guy in the building small enough to fit through the opening. And once I'd cleared the jam, I'd have almost ten seconds for him to pull me out before I'd wind up as Flat Stanley.
I told him to forget it. He persisted. He called over the other members of the night crew, none of whom were terribly fond of me, and they insisted I was being a faggot and a sissy.
"Get the fuck in there," said the supervisor, "or I'll fire your faggot ass on the spot."
I'm sitting here typing this, so I don't need to tell you I ultimately did not wind up in the crusher. But it took everything I had to stand my ground and say no. He told me I was fired, and I waited out the remaining hours of my shift in the parking lot. The next day, I swallowed my pride and appealed to the store manager, who was appalled by the whole thing and reprimanded the night supervisor, though he didn't actually fire him.
Of course, that just increased the rate of falling boxes, but I managed to survive the rest of the summer with only minor bruises and a whopping $250 in my bank account.
The nightmare is very weird in that I always get stuck in a sort of loop where my moment of indecision plays and replays. I stand there in my ugly apron as ten guys call me a stupid sissy faggot and try to get me to climb into that crusher. And in that moment, I honestly don't know what to do.

Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni
1671 – 1750
Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni short biography
Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni was a son of a wealthy Venetian trader. A child prodigy, Albinoni became known as a singer and, more importantly, as a virtuoso violinist. Albinoni, however, soon abandoned his performing career and dedicated himself entirely to composition. Albinoni's first opera, Zenobia, regina de Palmireni, was staged in Venice. A very prolific composer, Albinoni wrote 81 operas, most of them performed to a great acclaim in Italy and northern Europe. Considered equal to his contemporary giants Corelli and Vivaldi, Albinoni published his compositions in Italy, England and Holland. All Albinoni's compositions were sponsored by the important members of the European nobility.

Who knew that Charles Dickens was a rock star? That�s the way he�s drawn by Abi Morgan in her screenplay for �The Invisible Woman� (based on the book by Claire Tomalin). That�s also the way he�s presented by director and star Ralph Fiennes. The Dickens of this film was a wildly popular fellow who had throngs of audiences waiting to see him direct and act in plays, and many more waiting for the next chapter of whatever serialized book he was in the midst of writing. He was celebrated by all, and he loved what he was doing.
Yet if everything that he was doing was known about by his fans, some of them might have turned on him. Little did anyone know at the time that the beloved author was embroiled in an affair with a much younger woman. If revealed back then, the scandal would�ve likely been bigger than that recent business of Justin Bieber visiting a brothel.
The story opens many years after the central events had taken place, looking out onto a desolate beach in Margate, England, in 1883, where Nelly Ternan (Felicity Jones) roams the sands, as she does every day, lost in thought, dreaming of the past. It seems that she only comes out of her self-induced reverie when she�s at her tiny school, where she directs young kids in a play. It�s not till the film shoots back a couple of decades that we begin to understand what has led friends and family to believe that Nelly�s come to be emotionally �absent� from practically everyone around her.
It was back then, somewhere around the time that Dickens was writing �Great Expectations,� and was regularly doing public readings of his works and staging plays based on them, that he first set his eyes on Nelly Ternan. She was one of three actress daughters of Frances Ternan (Kristin Scott Thomas), all of whom traveled the road on the acting circuit. It appears that it took about a blink of an eye for him to fall for her, even though he was 45 and she was 18.
But there�s an easy explanation, one that goes beyond a famous and wealthy man suddenly accosted with a romantic fantasy. Dickens is shown to be bright and boisterous and full of life when he�s with his public, but the fire had long gone out at home, where his quiet, drudge-like wife, Catherine (Joanna Scanlan), goes about life, unaware that her husband has lost interest in her.
The secret romance between the middle-age author and the young would-be actress wasn�t easy to get started, although she had already been a fan of his novels. While Dickens seemed to easily put his own family on the back burner, there was Nelly�s powerful and outspoken mom to deal with. There was also the fact that Nelly was so young she didn�t know how to react to his advances.
And so to the good news and bad news, most of it involving acting. Joanna Scanlan is absolutely heartbreaking as Catherine, and will no doubt bring tears to some viewers, especially when she pays a visit to the woman who is unwittingly taking her husband from her. Kristin Scott Thomas hasn�t yet done a bad film performance, and her record remains unblemished here. Ralph Fiennes turns in one of his strongest pieces of acting with a full-bodied, well-rounded portrayal of a man caught up in emotional chaos. But Felicity Jones, who is certainly too old for the part � it�s been a long time since she was 18 � plays an actress who doesn�t know how to act and, unfortunately, does it convincingly. Many of her scenes are painful to watch, though there is one bit, with Dickens and Nelly whispering to each other late into the night, that�s spellbinding.
The best part of all of this is that Fiennes, in only his second attempt at directing a film, has progressed wonderfully. His first, �Coriolanus,� was an interesting experiment but had more to do with acting than all around filmmaking. He�s now learned not only where to place his cameras for best effect, but also when and when not to move them, and he�s gained an understanding of how and why to jump from an establishing shot to a close-up.
This is a sad and beautiful love story that would have been better with a stronger leading actress. But at the very least it should entice people to read some Dickens.

I am looking for a welder for mobile heavy equipment repair. Mostly going to be plating booms and repairing buckets. I will most likely always be using stick running a 1/8 7018 rod but would still like to have the option to run a wire feeder for dumpster repairs just to save some time. So far I'm looking at a 1989 miller big40g gas job with 1600 hours($3500) and a 2001 Miller 55d with supposedly 825 hours on it ($3250). What do you guys think of these power sources which would be better for me and what other set-ups would you see as ideal thanks in advance for any advice
No announcement yet.
Heavy Equipmet Repair
new posts
spend another 1,000.00 and buy a Trail Blazer that has a 3 year warrante.
If you plan on welding heavy equipment with 1/8" 7018 you wont keep your customers very long.
You need to get set up with a suitcase feeder to have the ability to run mig.
You might think that you need one of the real big welders but dont be fooled by size, The small Trail Blazer will out perform the big machines with the exception to Air arc capabilities where you should use 3/16" carbon and the Big 50 and the 55D can run a 1/4" carbon.
If you Truly work on strictly heavy equipment day after day you would then want to go with a big machine but because you mentioned dumpser repair leads me to beleive that you also do general repair.
I bought a Miller big 40 with the CV option back in 1989 and my distributor never could get it to run wire so it was nothing more than a glorified stick welder and a scratch start tig.
The price for those used machines are way to high in my opinion, They should be closer to $ 1,000.00 - $ 1,200.00

I do this for a living, and own my own company. I run a tb275, have had a 302. Plenty of welder
. Buy a wire feeder, most customers will not pay for stick welding when wire is 40 percent faster. Also other reason i run a trailblazer is weight. My f550 weights about 17k. Put an engine in it, now your at 19500. Simply cant hold a welder that big, also overkill for running power tools.

J. Hall, I've been told by some of my older buddies that the old 55s were the best or only wire machines back in the day.
However, I diddn't mention that because I thought it was alot of money for that old of a machine and I personally have never run one so I dont know how good they really are compared to the new machines.
Tryagn5, I'm guessing you have a crane and compressor for the weight you mentioned because thats exactly what my 550 weighs plus or minus a few hundred.

Trailblazer 55d
I have heavy equipment and do all my own welding. I have a Trailblazer 302 and a Trailblazer 55d. The 302 is good for wire up to 1/16. When I'm welding heavy stuff i use an LN-22 wire feeder and run 5/64 NR 232 or NR 203ni wire. I like the NR 203ni because it tends to flex a little more. NR232 is easier to run in all positions but if you have never used it before I would have someone show you how to run it. My opinion is that if you are focusing on only heavy equipment the Trailblazer 55d is the way to go
A Lincoln Vantage is pretty hard hard to beat in that environment in my opinion.
There is an way overabundance of aux power for whatever reason you need. The ability to run large rods, large wires. The inductance control in wire mode makes life a lot happier for the guy holding the gun and saves a lot of cleanup time.
They're pretty tight on fuel use. Wire to stick is a quick change over. Gouging is a piece of cake.
1/8" LoHi is mandatory on some factory repair or modification procedures involving booms, but in run of the mill equipment repairs it'll just put you out of business when someone comes along making welds with a high deposition wire or big honky rods, = much less cost to the owner.
Used ones are pretty affordable. A remote gives you amperage control in stick, and inductance/pinch control in wire. All you need at the site of the weld.
If I was only welding on equipment and couldn't swing the price for a decent used Vantage I'd find a old SA (with wire feed module) or (mo better) SAE 400 and let er rip. Those old 400's run an air arc better than anything on the market today. They are absolute big bad horses and will put out over 600 amps on a load bank. Parts & service available anywhere in the civilized world.
All of that assumes day in day out hard use. If it's a part time machine you can live with a lot less. And have a lot more options in older machines.
JSome days you eat the bear. And some days the bear eats you.
you got it!

Still running my TB 302 AirPak I do a lot of 6010/7018 welding up cracks
But have my 12RC running FC most NR232.. Never have run mig in the field though i have the capability running a Q300 gun and for duel shield
Most times it's just crack repairs and i gouge it out with the plasma cutter and 6010 the root then 7018 fill/ cap depending on how thick the base metal is
Most people don't like the airpak but i have limited room working out of my pick up trucks so i paid the extra money for the compressor which outputs more air than 2 piston gas driven portables that i have ever run across
So i can run air tools of any kind and the generator is 11 kw output independent of the welderBacked my CATMA over your CARMA

Weldonwelding, I have to respectfully disagree, There are times I feel that mig out shines a stick and heavy equipment is one of them.
Hey, We all have our methods, I just know that I have out ran a couple of guys that were using a stick when we were repairing a stone box.
He was running 3/16" 7018, At the end of the day I used up 2 spools a wire and his 50lb. tin still had some left.

Feud? What feud? While NBC is reportedly poised to replace longtime Tonight Show host Jay Leno with Jimmy Fallon, there doesn't seem to be any bad blood between the pair — a fact they made abundantly clear when they performed a duet together Monday night.
Check out other stars who deserve a late-night talk showSet to the tune of West Side Story's "Tonight," Leno and Fallon took turns trading lyrics, poking fun at the speculation that The Tonight Show could move to New York, that Leno's "ratings were alright" and that he has "Fox on the line, or maybe [he] could take over for Dave."The duet marks the first time Tonight and Late Night have collaborated. Watch the full clip below. What do you think of the bit? Report: Seth Meyers to replace Jimmy FallonEarlier in the night, Leno continued to take jabs at NBC during his opening monologue. Leno said he and the network "have reached a peaceful, amicable agreement that will be beneficial to both sides... April Fools! It will never happen."

About Maryanne Jacobsen
Maryanne Jacobsen bought a set of oil paints in February 2006 and fell madly in love with all the lovely colors in the box. She then picked up a palette knife and the magic of creation began. The love affair is still in high gear over three years later and Maryanne feels truly blessed to have found one more passion in a life that has been filled with artistic accomplishments. Maryanne has been a musician, ballet dancer, choreographer, graphic designer and photographer throughout her life, and has found much personal satisfaction in her love of the arts. The former founding director of West Chester Ballet Theatre and Regional Director of Rock School West in Pennsylvania, Maryanne hung up her ballet shoes for good after an unexpected move to Florida in 2005 and soon replaced them with a jar of mucky turpentine. Although she began painting later in life, Maryanne actively seeks out mentors and workshop teachers who can help her improve her artistic abilities. She has studied at the Ringling College of art and taken master workshops with Robert Liberace, Hodges Soileau, Julie Hanson, Louis Tedesco and Jon Greeley. In her short painting career she has had her work exhibited in dozens of juried as well as solo shows, and has taken home numerous awards and honors as well. Maryanne's work has been selected to hang in numerous government and business establishments throughout Southwest Florida, and her work is in private collections throughout the United States as well as abroad.

Featured Post from Farcaster's Musings
The Gatekeeper Campaign Logby, 10-14-2011 at 07:14 PM (Farcaster's Musings)
I kicked off a new campaign about a year and a half ago called "The Gatekeeper," and I have had the extremely good fortune of having a published WotC designer and author at the table with us, Mr. Erik Scott de Bie. Erik, I have come to find out, is a tenacious writer. In the first few weeks of our game, he actually sent me more post game followup than all my players combined have sent me in the following year.
So, I asked him if he'd focus that insatiable pen of his towards ...

A slew of press reports have trumpeted the finding of a new strain of bacteria recovered from Lake Vostok. Vostok is located in Antarctica, where the liquid water is buried under several kilometers of ice that have kept it isolated from the outside environment for millions of years. After several years of efforts and a pause to work out decontamination procedures, a Russian team drilled down to the lake water for the first time last year.
The hope was that, like several other under-ice ecosystems (most notably the one that creates Blood Falls), Vostok would host a community of bacteria that scrapes out a living through some combination of residual organic material and energy provided by geological processes. According to the press accounts, that hope seems to have been borne out.
But what sort of life are we looking at? Almost all of the accounts trace back to a RIA Novosti account that has very little in the way of details. The Russian researchers have apparently sequenced some DNA from the organism; although they don't specify which DNA, chances are good that it's the gene for ribosomal RNA, which is very useful for placing the organism within the tree of life. The differences with known species of bacteria indicate that it's clearly a new species, and the initial analysis suggests that it doesn't even group neatly with any of the major categories of bacterial life we're aware of.
But claiming it's a whole new branch off the tree of life should probably require more extensive sequencing of other areas of the genome. More data could probably tell us something about how it ekes out a living in a frigid, isolated ecosystem, and help figure out what its closest relatives are.
To be clear, it almost certainly has some relatives. One of the scientists is quoted as saying, "If it were found on Mars, people would call it Martian DNA. But this is DNA from Earth."
As noted in the article, however, the match between its DNA and known species on Earth reached at least 85 percent in some stretches, clearly showing its kinship to this planet's other biological inhabitants. And Vostok has only been separated from the rest of that life for fewer than 30 million years. That's a long time by almost any standard, but less than one percent of the time that bacterial life has been evolving on Earth.
