Having seen JKR's interview where she expands on everyones future, I would like to know why would Harry become an auror? Having been through so much, and having defeated Voldermort, I would have thought that would be the last thing he would want to do? I thought he would have been a famous seeker. Also, becoming an auror runs the risk that he will loose power over the elder wand??????

How many marbles do you have left?

The older I get, the more I enjoy Saturday mornings. Perhaps it's the quiet solitude that comes with being the first to rise, or maybe it's the unbounded joy of not having to be at work. Either way, the first few hours of a Saturday morning are most enjoyable.

A few weeks ago, I was shuffling toward the garage with a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and the morning paper in the other. What began as a typical Saturday morning turned into one of those lessons that life seems to hand you from time to time Let me tell you about it:

I turned the dial up into the phone portion of the band on my ham radio in order to listen to a Saturday morning swap net. Along the way, I came across an older sounding chap, with a tremendous signal and a golden voice. You know the kind; he sounded like he should be in the broadcasting business. He was telling whomever he was talking with something about "a thousand marbles." I was intrigued and stopped to listen to what he had to say.

"Well, Tom, it sure sounds like you're busy with your job. I'm sure they pay you well but it's a shame you have to be away from home and your family so much. Hard to believe a young fellow should have to work sixty or seventy hours a week to make ends meet. It's too bad you missed your daughter's "dance recital" he continued. "Let me tell you something that has helped me keep my own priorities." And that's when he began to explain his theory of a "thousand marbles."

"You see, I sat down one day and did a little arithmetic. The average person lives about seventy-five years. I know, some live more and some live less, but on average, folks live about seventy-five years.

"Now then, I multiplied 75 times 52 and I came up with 3900, which is the number of Saturdays that the average person has in their entire lifetime. Now, stick with me, Tom, I'm getting to the important part.

It took me until I was fifty-five years old to think about all this in any detail", he went on, "and by that time I had lived through over twenty-eight hundred Saturdays." "I got to thinking that if I lived to be seventy-five, I only had about a thousand of them left to enjoy. So I went to a toy store and bought every single marble they had. I ended up having to visit three toy stores to round up 1000 marbles. I took them home and put them inside a large, clear plastic container right here in the shack next to my gear."

"Every Saturday since then, I have taken one marble out and thrown it away. I found that by watching the marbles diminish, I focused more on the really important things in life. There is nothing like watching your time here on this earth run out to help get your priorities straight."





"Now let me tell you one last thing before I sign-off with you and take my lovely wife out for breakfast. This morning, I took the very last marble out of the container. I figure that if I make it until next Saturday then I have been given a little extra time. And the one thing we can all use is a little more time."

"It was nice to meet you Tom, I hope you spend more time with your family, and I hope to meet you again here on the band. This is a 75 Year old Man, K9NZQ, clear and going QRT, good morning!"

You could have heard a pin drop on the band when this fellow signed off. I guess he gave us all a lot to think about. I had planned to work on the antenna that morning, and then I was going to meet up with a few hams to work on the next club newsletter..

Instead, I went upstairs and woke my wife up with a kiss. "C'mon honey,I'm taking you and the kids to breakfast." "What brought this on?" she asked with a smile. "Oh, nothing special, it's just been a long time since we spent a Saturday together with the kids. And hey, can we stop at a toy store while we're out? I need to buy some marbles...

You fail the greatest test


life

you no longer fear the dark or the monsters
you once did as a child, poor, innocent.
reality hits hard, the day you realize the terror you feared
as a kid, is within you.
it will not falter, and it
shows no sign of weakness.

the days of yesterday:
a blessing to know youve begun to climb and reach the summit of it all

your thoughts begin to crumble and as you loose grip you see
reality, the top of your journey and joy were nonexistant.
you never laughed,
burning truth pours in and the destruction is physically inside.
a virus

you lay to ease the pain.
it builds
a flash of bright light.
quiet darkness

Are we having fun yet?

Thanks so much for your explanations about the dreaded purple fringe. Some of that I knew and much of it I did not.

My original question asked whether fringe came from the sensor, the lens, or both. I do believe that it comes from both, but I now believe that the lens is the more significant contributor. Once you see my sample, you will understand why I say this. If fringe was merely caused by the sensor, you would not see the pattern that I observed. Whether a "good" lens will give less fringe or not remains to be investigated.

See http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstein/1209211393/ and read the commentary and come back and answer the question, "What do you think?"

Interestingly, I was not expecting to ever use this image for anything but a geometric study. I used to weld and do some minor steel construction and I really appreciate the precision of this structure. You have to realize that you are looking at something about 30 feet wide.

I am wondering if anyone knows of another theory,than
Siberians coming accross the land bridge as it froze over.
How do Native Americans feel about this theory?
Scientists find more info and have more questions.
The old saying "the more you know the more you dont know"
I wonder if they could have just developed as a seperate race
like Africans.
I realize this doesn't go along with modern science and theories.
They have uncovered evidence that Asian and Native American
Dna is alike.
Is this the only possibility?
I would like to hear your thoughts on this.
