Halloween Fancy Dress - Plan Early!
If you're going to a Halloween party or trick or treating with your children, nieces or nephews you are going to need a Halloween costume.
Most Halloween parties are held on the weekends prior or just after October 31st. You should order your fancy dress costume well before this. Shops have an abundance of Halloween outfits to choose from, but the popular costumes and sizes could sell out quickly. Buy early and avoid disappointment.
Older children always know exactly what costume they want to wear. Find the costume online and order it well in advance, so if it doesn't fit you'll still have plenty of time to re-order.
There's a fabulous range of categories in Halloween fancy dress so decide how scary you want to be and then have a look at the options. Do you want to frighten people and love to wear gruesome costumes? Try a Texas chainsaw massacre costume. You can buy the whole outfit including apron, trousers wig and mask, or you can just buy the mask. Accessories include Leatherface teeth and the chainsaw. Douse yourself in some fake blood and your ready to go.
Maybe you'd like to scare people but not quite as blatantly? Try a vampire fancy dress outfit. Halloween wouldn't be quite the same without a pack of vampires terrorizing the neighborhood. Go for a classic Lady Vampire costume, sexy vampire vixen or a gothic men's Halloween costume including velvet vest and lined cape. Add some vampire teeth and fake blood if you want to add some gore!
If you'd like your Halloween fancy dress a little less violent, fear not! There's a range for you. Ladies can find a range of fairy costumes, witch's dresses and devilish outfits. Men have a fabulous choice of ghosts, jokers and pirate's costumes to choose from.
You have to decide - a Harry Potter or a Zombie? The Wizard outfit is a safe bet when you're trick or treating with small children but bloodthirsty costumes are excellent for an adult themed Halloween fancy dress party. Choose wisely!

How Does 3D Work?
3D is back! This is not your father's 3D. This is a technologically advanced 3D that once you see it you WILL want to see more! It seems like everywhere we look 3D movies, TV shows in 3D, even 3D for your iPhone!!!
But, there are as many questions as there are 3D applications. How does 3D work? What makes it different from 3D that came out before? What are all those different glasses? Can I watch 3D without glasses?
First, a little history. The first 3D started millions of years ago with man. Yes, we all see things in 3D. All humans have binocular vision. What that means is that we have two eyes separated by a space of 2-3 inches. This enables us to perceive depth and see the world in 3D. This separation causes each eye to see the world from a slightly different perspective. The brain combines these two images into one. It comprehends the spatial differences and uses them to calculate distance. This is how we sense depth and distance.
A simple way to understand this principle is to hold your thumb up at arms length and cover one eye with your hand. Then try putting your hand over the other eye. As you switch between open eyes you should see your thumb "jumping" back and forth against the background.
Stereoscopy was invented in 1838. There is a lot of debate about the first 3D film but "L'arrivée du train" filmed in 1903 by the Lumière brothers. They were the inventors of cinema and it is often referred to as the first stereoscopic movie ever made. When it was released, audiences panicked because they thought the train was about to crash right into them! The funny thing about it is that it was probably on of the first remakes. The film was remade from the original that came out in 1895! And you wonder why Hollywood keeps remaking films. It's practically born to it!
If you are like me then you probably experienced 3D for the first time in your life with that old Viewmaster viewer. You stuck that funny round thingy with the little slides on it into your Viewmaster, plastered your eyes to the two eyepieces and tilted towards the living room table lamp. Suddenly, you were transported to a million places where you felt you could reach out and touch things in 3 dimensions. Never mind that it is really Stereoscopic and true 3D would be more like a hologram that is standing in front of you and I don't mean the CNN kind. I was hooked even then!
After that 3D came and went showing up in several incarnations during the 50's, 60's, 70's & the 80's. Titles like House of Wax (1953), Robot Monster (1953), Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954), Dial M for Murder (1954) , Flesh for Frankenstein (a.k.a. Andy Warhol's Frankenstein) (1973), Jaws 3D(1983) and Captain EO (1986) to name a few.
Now fast forward to November 2008 and the first 3DX Festival takes place in Singapore. Some of the top luminaries from around the world attended the 3DX Festival to promote 3D media, including: Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation; Mark Zoradi, president of Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Group; Jon Landau, James Cameron's producer on his new 3 D movie, Avatar; and other directors who are all involved in 3D projects: Robert Zemeckis, James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Geroge Lucas, and Peter Jackson.
There are different types, or flavors, of 3D. Some put 3D technology into glasses while others put it into a monitor or tech application. Computers or even the iphone can handle 3D but require some additional active components , such as software and applications that are just now being created.
The first time 3D technology was created it used the traditional red and blue glasses. This is called anaglyph and is very cheap in both cost and performance. Fortunately, with the rise of technology advancement we have many better ways of displaying 3D media.
Polarized glasses is another common type of 3D glasses. These are the 3D glasses that you will get at IMAX or in other 3D movie theaters. Although they work better than the old type red and blue glasses, this methods requires two projectors in the theater and additional layers to the monitor for the technology to work properly. The onetime theater set-up expense and additional cost for the polarized glasses may make this method less appealing.
3D screens with no glasses is here today. There are different ways that the 3D screen technology is built. One way is using multiple screen layers like the polarized glasses mentioned above, which is expensive but you do not need specialized glasses to view the 3D on the screen.

Phoenix Bird Tattoo - Symbolic Beauty
The tattooing world has very few favorites. Phoenix bird is one of them. Do you know where this interesting picture comes from? What is the symbolic significance of this awesome picture? We will look at the reasons this bird design has become one of enduring symbols of time.
Mythology says that the Phoenix is a creature that rises from its own ashes after burning down. The name itself originated from the Greek word for "red", the universal color of fire. Being the bird of fire, Phoenix can be aptly used to symbolize a person's inner fire and zest for life. The rage for the Phoenix bird tattoos has started a few years back. The Phoenix bird epitomizes the rebirth and resurrection from the ashes. You can use this symbol if you have had a tough patch in life and successfully overcame it.
It is fairly easy to draw the Phoenix bird tattoos which are normally painted in bright and lucid colours that represent life. The uniqueness of a phoenix bird design lies in its different interpretation by different people. You can very easily personalize a phoenix bird tattoo to highlight emotions close to your heart. You just need to tell a good tattoo artist what you want to depict with your tattoo and he or she will easily give you the best.
Jewish legend says that the phoenix was the bird that refrained from eating the forbidden fruit of paradise, set itself on fire but rose from the ashes three days later. The Phoenix bird was also considered to be the representation of the rising and setting of the sun. However later on it was widely accepted as the symbol of resurrection of life. Originally ones were just beauty symbols. Of late, they have become a medium to express ones life experiences and emotions. Therefore, the Phoenix bird designs have attained big popularity. Keeping in line with this, the tattoo artists have creatively designed many forms of the Phoenix bird tattoo.
The emergence of the Phoenix Bird tattoo as a popular one is not documented well but people believe that it has its origins in the Far East. Men like to have a phoenix bird picture on their arms, while the ladies normally prefer to have it on their lower back or on their belly. There are people who consider Phoenix to be the symbol of the devil and that pagans expressed their love for Satan through the phoenix. In the vastly popular Harry Potter series, the phoenix has been depicted as the bird that has healing powers. This is more in line with the symbolic meaning of Phoenix, the resurrection. In the chronicles of Narnia too, a phoenix is pictured saving one of the characters from imminent danger.
Historically the phoenix was used not just as a tattoo. It was also printed on the coins by the ancient Romans, who believed that it would ensure the longevity of the Roman Empire. No matter what the reason, the phoenix tattoo designs are beautiful and at the same time have definite, deeply held symbolic significance. Therefore, these designs are, like diamonds, forever.

Harry Potter Series Vs Twilight Saga
Well for me, I think there is no reason for comparison for the two series has its own different types of genre, themes, settings and concept.
Harry Potter series as we all know is categorized as a children's books but for me the book is for all ages. It is more of an adventure than of a love story. Although it is concentrated on the main character which is Harry Potter and we see the story from the character's points of view, it also shows some scenes from the other characters points of view and sometimes scenes that doesn't include Harry Potter himself which frequently happens at the first chapter of the book. The book tackles about the lives, struggles and adventures of Harry Potter. Most of the settings in the story (except book 7) are inside the Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.
Twilight saga is categorized as suspense thriller and love story. I think it is more of a love story than of an adventure. The story revolves on one of the main characters which is Isabella Swan and we hear the story all the time from that characters point of view although there is an exception in the last chapter of book 2 and the second part of book 4 which is I think for some obvious reason, when Bella was bed ridden, the author cannot write much about her since Bella is just stationed in one place. The book tackles about the love story of two very different people and the conflicts that it includes. Most of the settings are inside the whole town of Forks and only a few scenes happen inside the school.
But for me the two authors are both excellent writers in their own field. They give justice to their characters and they can really affect your emotions while reading their books. They make you feel like you are the character in that book and you're experiencing the same situations because you can really feel the intensity of their emotions. They give every single thread of details that even you can't describe what its like.
So if you're a kind of reader who likes more of an adventure, then I think you will like Harry Potter series better. And if you are more type of a romance reader who likes more of a love story, then, you will like the Twilight saga better.
So I think it's unfair to compare these two book series and please stop making fuss about it, okay, both the book series are beautiful and are really fun to read.
How about you, which do you think is better, Harry Potter or Twilight?

Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey Exhibit at Universal Studios
I'm a fan of Harry Potter having read most of the books and seen all the movies. So I'm anxiously anticipating the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter exhibit opening this June at Universal Orlando Resort. It promises, "from magical spells to magical creatures, from dark villains to daring heroes....Plus pulse-pounding rides and attractions that transport you."
Well I admit my pulse is pumping right now just thinking about walking in to Hogwarts Castle. I'll be able to visit Dumbledore's office, the Defence Against the Dark Arts Classroom, the Gryffindor common room and the Room-of-Requirement with its hundreds of floating candles. I'll even be able to soar over the castle.
But the absolute best thing I'm looking forward to is being swept into a Quidditch match. A Quidditch match is a wizarding sport played on broomsticks that's popular among wizards and witches. I wonder if they'll let me have my own broom. I want to be on Harry's team. I would love to catch the "Golden Snitch," after all its worth 150 points.
The technological innovations are supposed to be off the chart. Some of the technology was invented just for this exhibit. It's a first-ever combination of live-action, advanced robotic technology and innovative filmmaking - specially designed and developed for this brand-new adventure.
The attraction's newly created ride system envelops guests in filmed action scenes and moves those scenes with them as they travel through the ride, allowing more time in the center of the adventure and with their favorite characters. Universal says, "this fusion of robotic technology and filmed scenes has never been achieved until now."
The ride takes about an hour. Wow, that'll make standing in line worth it. There are 12 different scenes in the attraction. And of course my favorite characters will be there, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermoine Granger and Professor Dumbledore. I heard that Fred and George Weasley might make an appearance as well. I hope so. You never know what to expect from those two rascals.
The last time I was at Universal Studios in Orlando I had a Grrrreat Time-fun, fun, and fun. I can't wait to visit the new Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey exhibit. And if Harry Potter is not your thing, no worries mate-Go anyway. Instead, you can swing above the streets with Spider Man or help Shrek save Princess Fiona or battle those pesky aliens alongside Agent J. Did I mention how much fun it is?

Witchcraft For Beginners - Some Things You Will Learn in Witchcraft
Do you like magic? For sure, you must be fascinated in magic and witchcraft. No wonder Harry Potter is known everywhere. If you are captivated by this eccentric type of entertainment, then you are more likely interested to learn witchcraft for beginners too.
Some religious people are judgmental to witches without knowing that most of the practicing witches and those that are learning witchcraft for beginners are actually good people and have no bad intentions for doing so.
But before starting to learn about witchcraft, it is very important that you have the inner strengths that you can use to your advantage throughout the learning process. Meditation can be of great help for you to be in touch with your inner self. Remember that if you decide to practice witchcraft, you need to dedicate yourself to the craft and everything about it. It requires a serious commitment to enjoy fully the benefits of witchcraft.
To start your journey on becoming a witch, read books and online resources on witchcraft for beginners and just about anything about witches and witchcraft to give you the basic information that you should know about this practice. The usual practices that you can learn as beginners are casting magic spells, chanting mantras, astrology, healing and meditation.
In spell casting, you can use a spell that was written by someone else but a spell that you personally created is more effective than those written by others. Writing a spell is not as hard as you think even if you are just a beginner. You just need to have a good intention and belief that your spell will really work and it won't harm anyone including yourself.
And as part of learning witchcraft for beginners and spell-casting, you have to learn more about candle colors, oils, crystals, herbs, and incenses. You can use all the information you know about these things in making different spells.
It is also recommended for beginners in witchcraft to have your own book of shadows, or a record or diary of your favorite spells and rituals and all other information you learned about witchcraft. You can add and change the information you put into it as frequently as needed.
Another thing that you should learn about witchcraft is the eight holidays that Wiccans or witches celebrate, which are called sabbats. Witches celebrate death and rebirth in each sabbat by performing full moon rituals to mark the life and death of the God and honor the Goddess.
Witchcraft for beginners may seem to be difficult to master but you can start by learning the simple forms of meditation and just practicing them more often to help you master it. It would be helpful as well if you pay attention to the seasons, the animals, the plants, and everything that surrounds you. Even matching up your menstrual cycle with the different phases of the moon will benefit you in practicing this craft. Learning about any form of divination like tarot, palmistry, astrology, or numerology is also useful and studying these forms of ancient arts will help you learn more about yourself and in practicing witchcraft well.
Just always keep in mind to use witchcraft for good and not to harm others.

Daniel Radcliffe's Astrology-Numerology Combination - Cancer's Intuitive Optimist
As the boy wizard Harry Potter, in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", the sixth installment in the popular series, Daniel Radcliffe has another sure blockbuster scheduled this year. As the richest teenager in Brittan, and with two more "Harry Potter" movies in pre-production, Daniel is set for the next three years. Everyone knows what his character is like, but what about the actor underneath. Read on and learn what Daniel Radcliffe's Astrology Numerology combination tells us about this fine young actor.
Astronumerology; where Astrology and Numerology Cross
If I want to know something about someone's personality who I haven't met, I use their date of birth and find their Astrology / numerology combination. This technique, known as Astronumerology, is about ten years old, but the science behind it is sound. The process involves looking up a persons Astrology sun sign, and calculating their Life Path number from numerology, and then looking up the combination in a table of personality types. Since the Life Path calculation gives a number from one to nine, that means that with twelve Horoscope signs, there are (108) different combinations that we can have. Daniel Radcliffe was born on July 23rd, 1989, so his Astrology Numerology combination is Cancer with a Life Path of (3).
Cancer (3) - The Intuitive Optimist
People with this combination view themselves as born out of time and place. They see the present as a time lacking in glamour and romance. These souls are see their life as some kind of gothic romance novel. They long for some form of escapist fantasy, be it medieval Europe or renaissance France. Cancer threes have a delicious wit, and can produce puns and one liners at will. They see the humor in everyday situations in life, and are not above the well constructed prank on their friends.
These souls are sensitive and affectionate, but they usually choose casual acquaintance rather than an deeper relationship. They revere all life and wouldn't hurt a fly, much less a higher animal. They will eat fish, but they can't kill it themselves. Cancer threes can be chatterboxes, and even catty at times, but they would never intentionally hurt anyone's feelings. And, if they do hurt someone's feelings, they are the first to offer apologies, usually in some flowery and outlandish way.
Conclusion
Daniel Radcliffe's Astrology / Life Path combination shows that he approaches his art with the soul of a romantic. He fits the Harry Potter universe because it is an escapist fantasy. And his humor and wit project quite well as the character of a boyish young wizard.

Simple Ideas to Creating the Best Voldemort Costume This Year
Lord Voldemort is an imaginary character from the Harry Potter series of books and films. We like to think of him as imaginary as he's so evil! He is a dark genius who will do everything, including assassination to make the world the way he wants it. Lord Voldemort is so dreaded by the entire world that they call him he-who-must-not-be-named.
Voldemort tried to kill Harry when he killed Harry's parents. However, Harry survived and was called the boy who lived. The reason for Voldemort trying to kill Harry was based on a prophecy stating that 'while Harry lived Voldemort" could not. Angered and fearful of the prophecy Voldemort attempts, many times in the seven books to kill Harry.
In the first volume, Voldemort took over a tutor at the school. In the next volume, Voldemort or Tom Riddle came back by means of a volume to attempt to murder Harry in the Chamber of Secrets with a gigantic snake. Voldemort is an evil genius from the Slytherin house, who is afraid of only Dumbledore and Harry. Lord Voldemort has no feeling whatsoever and is 100% evil with one aim to control the entire wizarding and non-wizarding worlds. This makes Lord Voldemort one of the greatest Halloween Costumes for years to come!
To Dress Like Voldemort For Halloween Follow These Tips:
Voldemort costumes will consist of your best wizard clothes and a Voldemort mask. This usually involves getting a long black robe the longer the better. You will also want a Voldemort Mask to cover your face. You should also consider the look of your hands as well. Voldemort as a lifeless person will continue attempting to come back. His hands are typically very pale white with long nails. You will also require a wand for your hands! Your Voldemort Robe should be a big black dressing gown. It usually buttons up and so it doesn't really matter what you wear underneath.
Face - There are some Voldemort masks out there. However, to have a more realistic look, use make-up. Use a sponge to cover the face in white to simulate Voldemort's pale skin. Add subtle hints of blue to tint the temples, jawline and a touch under the eyes.
Hair - If you are not bald try using a bald cap from your local costume shop. Or use gel to hold your hair back while you cover your head with the hood of your robes. You'll have the best Voldemort Costume if you follow those simple steps!

Leadership and the Harry Potter Syndrome
When looking at filling first/middle level leadership positions, the vast majority of organizations commendably prefer to promote from within. Unfortunately, with few exceptions, the vast majority of organizations suffer from the Harry Potter Syndrome of leadership development.
The day of promotion
Congratulations, the position is filled. It may be a big announcement or a simple handshake in your new superior's office. But at some point, you get wacked over the head with a something like Harry Potter's magic wand and poof, YOU ARE NOW A MANAGER. You will start the following Monday and thanks to the abracadabra of the magic wand, you will now BE A MANAGER.
But nobody knows the batteries died a long time ago
Oops, but that same magic wand that was suppose to instantaneously give you all the skills you need to be an effective manager has dead batteries in it. It actually hasn't worked for a long time, if at all. So there you are, Monday morning, in your new office, phone is ringing, people are screaming and your new boss is telling you that you need to get to your first of umpteen meetings for the day and you didn't become magically transformed into supermanager. Ahem. How embarrassing. So you quietly take a sheet of paper, title it to-do list, and make your first entry...one case of Pepto-Bismol, priority urgent. Welcome to your first day in your new position.
So how does a manager become a manager?
There are two methods that have been used through the ages. The first is imitation. You had a boss that you liked, and so you now attempt to do it the way she did. This may or may not work with who you are and that leads us to the second method. If you are a sincere, reflective new manager, that second method is trial and error, where you try something out, make mistakes and learn from them. If you are not, or like most people, just don't have the time to be able to observe and reflect on your managerial actions, the second method is called trial and error and error and error and so on. The consequences for the organization starts out as a ripple, and like an approaching hurricane with the ripples turning into waves and wind building to a furious onslaught until the damage done increases to such a degree it becomes difficult to repair.
To improve the results at the end, you have to start at the beginning
Each organization that wishes to promote and create a leader, needs to fully support and develop that leader, so that they can become the productive manager you need them to be. Provide a systemic developmental process which acknowledges that a truly effective manager produces increased value, production and results at every level of contact, as well as reduce those Pepto-Bismol costs. The investment in developing a manager to be a positive asset for the organization provides one of the strongest ROI's for any business. And don't forget to take that magic wand and put it away. Far, far away.

JK Rowling's Astrology - Numerology Combination - Leo (5) the Zany Zealot
With the movie of her sixth novel, 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' set to come out later this year, this Billionaire author is not only set financially, but will remain in the center of the public eye for years to come. And though she based female wizard Hermione Granger on herself, we really know very little about Mrs. Rowling's personality. Read on and learn what J. K. Rowling's Astrology Numerology combination has to say about this amazing author.
Astronumerology; Astrology and Numerology Combined
The technique of combining your Life path from Numerology and your sun Sign from Astrology is called Astronumerology. It breaks people's birth days into (108) different categories which each correspond to their own set of personality traits. You probably know how to find out your Astrology sun sign based on the range of birth dates corresponding to each sign. Your Life Path calculation is equally simple to do; just sum up all of the digits in your Gregorian date of birth (including the century), and then reduce the sum to a single digit using fadic addition. Since author J. K. Rowling was born on July 31st, 1965, this combination gives us a sun sign of Leo with a Life Path value of (5).
Leo (5) - The Zany Zealot
People who are born with this combination have an unquenchable thirst for experience; they tend to try everything at least once in life. Leo Fives are constantly seduced by anything new, especially if it is showy and flamboyant in nature. These souls love to shock people with their behavior, and tend to not care what anyone thinks about them. They do however react to slander and false statements with a vengeance. You can say whatever you want about them as long as you get your facts strait.
These souls have boundless imagination and curiosity which they can harness to develop stories and ideas which they market to great affect. They are independent thinkers, and will often do things their own way, even when they know they could do it better. Leo fives make friends wherever they go, and allow their friends to impose on their good nature more than they should. They are at home at both the fanciest ball, and the lowest of dives. Leo Fives have a streak of the alley cat in them that lets them be tough and survive whatever life throws their way.
Conclusion
J. K. Rowling's Astrology / Life Path combination shows us that though she is rich, she is not above mingling with the common man. She has a need to experience new things and places which will keep her out in the public eye. J. K. Rowling will find a new story to tell, weather it's set in the Harry Potter universe, or somewhere else; we'll just have to see.

Top Harry Potter Halloween Costumes For 2009
More than the book and film series, Harry Potter has enchanted fans all over the world with its wide array of merchandise. From sophisticated Harry-inspired games and toys to the simplest calendars and posters, the young wizard with the lightning bolt scar is literally everywhere. Even so, every fan imitates Harry and other characters by dressing up with a spellbinding Harry Potter costume.
With the latest Potter film, released in July 2009, millions of fans anticipated not only the movie's special effects and lots of smooching scenes. Moviegoers couldn't wait to see the new costumes that their favorite characters would put on.
The most popular Harry Potter Halloween costume choices for 2009 are great ideas for Halloween and costume parties. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, two costumes stood out: Ron Weasley costumes and Death Eater costumes.
Ron Weasley Costumes
Ron has his first taste of real Quidditch match in the Half-Blood Prince, and it is his first time to sport a Quidditch look. But his costume is a bit different from the Quidditch apparel from previous movies, in which players are clad in red and yellow Gryffindor robes and sweaters. He is the only one wearing an additional red leather helmet among the Gryffindor Quidditch players. He also wears other safety gears like leather chest armor and shoulder pad for his role as the team's keeper.
Death Eater Costumes
On the dark side, Voldemort's followers (also known as the Death Eaters) look so scary in their costumes. Nevertheless, Death Eater costumes are very popular these days. Death Eaters wear black hooded capes with gray and white masks, making them a perfect Harry Potter costume idea for Halloween parties.

Emma Watson - A Magic All Her Own
Had J.K. Rowling not put pen to paper and created her unfathomably famous series of children's books, "Harry Potter", the world may have had to wait a lot longer for the likes of British actress Emma Watson to triumphantly emerge.
In a somewhat unprecedented move the leading female role of Hermione Granger, one of Potter's closest friends in the Harry Potter series, was given to Emma. Why unprecedented you ask? Because prior to her fantastically lucky break, young Miss Watson had never so much as acted a day in her life on the big screen. Her acting credentials listed only school plays. However, this is not to say that she lacked talent, on the contrary, those who saw her school stage roles instantly noticed that she had a particular flare for the craft.
At a mere fifteen years of age this talented, freckle faced teen actress already has four Harry Potter movies under her cape, staring in each as the same Potter pal role of Hermione Granger. This character sees her as the female comrade to an almost exclusively cast of male leads. At the tender age of ten Watson's convincing, endearing role as somewhat stuck up, perfect student Granger in the first Potter movie, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", had fans hooked. Over night she became the most searched for Potter cast member on the Internet.
Though her acting career has thus far extended only into the realm of Harry Potter sorcery and humongous box office sales, Watson has an unmistakable talent that will likely see her through when the days of Harry Potter films eventually come to an end. Her acting ability is so bang on that it has earned her the nickname of "One Take Watson".
In a world of fluffy, pop star-like personas and less than intellectual characters brunette-headed Watson is a refreshing change from the bubble gum-ness that has beseeched the majority of young female actors. Her strong-willed and charming personality only add to her movie appeal and fans can't seem to get enough of this charismatic fifteen year old.
Hopping the pond, Emma has appeared on a racket of North American late night TV and talk shows; notably her first talk show appearance in 2002 on the long running, phenomenally successful Oprah Winfrey show. Others include Jay Leno in 2002 and Live with Regis & Kelly in 2004. When not dabbling in onscreen witchery and magic Watson goes to the British all-girls school Headington where she primarily studies history, English and art. In her down time Watson's second love comes out, sports. Her favourites include tennis, rounders and hockey.
Though the world has only known of Emma for four short years, she has created a lasting onscreen character that is recognized by Potter fans - both young and old alike - the world over. Watson says that she wants to branch out and try a variety of roles, and in 2006 fans will be able to see Emma in her first non-Potter role to date. Scheduled to be released within a year the film "Airborn" will see Watson playing Kate de Vries, in an adventurous dramatic tale of cruise ships, pirates and deserted islands. Rather a broomstick's length away from Hogwarts for this ambitious British actress.

Why Harry Potter Should Be The Next President
I must confess that I am not one to succumb to pop culture. Nevertheless, even I cannot help but be drawn into the tale of Harry Potter and his band of friends. I wonder what it would like to have such a character as our president.
Of course today, the very characteristics that grace one with the presidency are more akin to Lord Voldamort, it would be a fantastic change of pace to see a man who is loyal, hardworking, talented, and excellent in the white house. Unfortunately, the characteristics that make the public love Harry are ironically, what we despise in a presidential candidate.
Loyalty - Harry is unwilling to sacrifice the relationships he has made over his life. In fact, he holds his friends to a higher standard of loyalty than they themselves are capable of producing on their own.
Honesty - Harry is not willing to deceive or let his friends be deceived. He is always vigilant and seeking the truth no matter what the cost.
Integrity - Harry's main strength is his integrity, something we do not value in our leadership.
Strength of conviction - Harry is willing to sacrifice everything even his own reputation and life to fight for what he knows is right.
As Americans, we flock to the movies and idolize this character. Even his faults are not important because of the overriding desire of Harry's heart to do right.
In contrast, Voldamort is every thing Harry is not. Is too is talented but has a talent for bullying, for being rash, narcissistic, destructive....
As Americans, while Harry would be the perfect president, one who would always look out for the interests of his friends and the interests of others, he is not popular. People do not want to believe the truth.
Rather we prefer the liar, the self-centered politician that only means to hurt and destroy what we all know to be right and good and true. Americans love the liar, badmouth, and make fun of the honest and good intentioned.
Lord Voldamort in 08!

Black Witchcraft Spells - Finding the Right Spell Caster
When you imagine the idea of "Dark Magic" witchcraft and spell casting you probably think of something out of harry potter. TV and movies have played a huge role in creating stereotypes of what the witchcraft is all about.
The real world of black magic and witchcraft will shock you with how different it is from this stereotype that you have its very different to something you may see in a film.
Although there are some factual references in there for sure,
It is usually portrayed as something evil and sinister although this could not be further form the truth.
When you search online for information on this subject you will find many websites with lots of information on the subject but you have to be careful what information you take to hart no matter how compelling it may seem.
There are many inexperienced spell casters offering up information that may incomplete or diluted.
If you want to get someone else to do it for you they should always offer a guarantee but it is usually better to learn it yourself and get practice at the art.
Spell casting can include spells in many areas including money, love, psychic readings etc.
If it sounds to good to be true it may very well be.
Use some common sense when looking for a spell caster real ones our out there you just have to be careful when deciding on the right person to do this for you.
Do some home work and read up about how it works so you can see if they know what they are talking about, see what kind of things are involved in the process of casting and make sure they ask for the right information form you so you know they are requesting everything they need.

Imagination
Hold on to your hat, you are about to take an incredible ride!! If used properly, imagination is one of the greatest tools that you can use. In your imagination, anything is possible and there is absolutely nothing that cannot be imagined. The fantasy book authors, who have spent hours in fantasy places, creating every detail and every aspect, have imagined some of the greatest and wildest places in fiction. All kinds of characters,
people, and creatures have been created to inhabit these fictional places.
Whole kingdoms and whole planets have been invented for you to explore. Movies, plays, books, television shows, media events, stage shows, theme parks, dvds,
audio cassettes, board games, electronic games, puzzles,
toys, and sometimes a combination of several of these have
all been vividly imagined and created in every detail.
When you enter into these kingdoms through the
author's guidance, you also explore them through your
imagination, so that no two experiences are exactly alike.
You can use your imagination for great adventures, great
encounters, fantastic stories, love stories, poetry,
building a special house or special property, designing or
inventing something that has never been done before, or
making something that already exists even better. From
the tiniest piece of intricate machinery, to the most
colossal awesome machine, it was first imagined in someone's
mind. She or he believed in that vision enough to figure out how to make it a reality and then she or he worked diligently
until her or his imagination was taking place in the earthly realm.
Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, and electricity.
Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Charles Drew
found a way to preserve and store blood, and he created
the world's first blood bank.
Frederick McKinley Jones invented a way to add sound to
movies, which revolutionized the movie industry; he also
created cooling units for trucks and trains to keep food
cool in transportation. All through their own imagination
and work that went on before them. They imagined something in their minds first and they worked diligently to bring that imagination into the physical realm. They
were not deterred because it didn't work the first or second
or even third time; the whole process, or the end product,
was pictured very clearly in their minds.
Harry Potter was a
character invented and nurtured in one woman's mind, now she
has written several books about him and there have been
several movies created about that one character and all his adventures.
Imagination lets you fly above the trees and soar
out over the water. It allows you to go further than is possible or ever dreamed of before. You can talk with kings and queens, you can go into the past or the
future, you can speak in foreign languages, or you can
invent a language. You can create brand new colors,
you can go to another planet, or down under the water.
Your imagination can be bright, big, dark or
foreboding. Where there is light there is dark, where there is up there is down, male and female, good and evil.
Everything has a dimension and substance in your
imagination. Try it yourself and see
where it takes you. Allow yourself a rich and
active imagination. But don't get stuck in the
fearsome side of your imagination; if you created it in
your mind you can un-create it too, and you can create
good and positive protectors in your mind to take care
of you. You can create a new picture in your mind to
replace a piece of imagination that may have scared you.
You can change the focus and change the outcome all with
a thought. You don't have to settle for the same thing in
your mind all the time; you can change your thoughts
at any time. You can create the life that you imagine,
right now, with your thoughts and actions. Every new
thought can progress you towards your dreams.
The world is wide open for you, my dear. Just imagine
what you can do, where you can go, who you can meet, and
then enjoy the journey.
