Subject: Any MVPs out there who still support office 2003?
Message-ID: <057CD9E56C49462093F6BB8141C7A332@Dobby>

Hi there,

Yes, office 2003.  And I have a very unique problem that I can't seem to
fix.  After calling microsoft four times, getting disconnected three times,
transferred to the wrong people three times and then getting disconnected
again, I gave up and decided to bring my problem here.

I bought a copy of Office 2003 from EValue; it installed perfectly,
activated successfully (according to message I got on my screen), but every
time I open an application I have the service agreement on my screen with
the little buttons for PRINT, ACCEPT, DECLINE.  I tried the Fix-It but it
didn't help.

So, is there a fix or do I have to put up with this service thing every time
I open an app?

ANy brainstorms welcome.  I can't take this annoyance for long.  I want to
do work, not keep hitting the ACCEPT button for every opening of an office
app.

Thanks,

Lee (The Annoyed) :(

Do not walk before me,    | n2fgc at arrl.net (or)

Work on Invisibility cloaks mainly by the US DoD, has been going on for many 
years it seems they have now got to the stage of a flexible cloak.
the report is carried on the BBC website: BBC.co.uk/news/science and environment 
I'm afraid I am having problems copying the link in here, but if the report has 
been dropped by the time anybody interested logs on just use the search box for 
invisibility cloaks, near the top.
There is also an interesting report for those interested on 3D movies.
Should anybody be interested, enjoy.
KEN

Subject: I'm looking for an essay.
Message-ID: <ib3ttp+t7la@eGroups.com>

I read on Elkins' Overanalyzing the Text Website, below HPfGU #43422
"Why I Dislike The Twins/Toon Talk" post, that there was a really good essay on the parallels between Barty Crouch Jr and Percy Weasley that they referenced their post from.

The text read:

"References:

firebird5: Oh catharsis!

Here's the essay which compared Percy to Barty Jr and the "disappointing father figure" concept. And remember it was written before OotP so this insight is particularly... astonishing. The quotes are made by others and the replies by Elkins, who wrote all those essays. . . ."

That link lead me to an empty page on Live Journal. :(

Does anybody know where to find it?

Also, I'd really like to show Elkins my appreciation for their posts. (They are amazing!) Is there any way that I could do that?

This is an interesting article, to me anyway. I recall the topic of Harry using the Cruciatus Curse was a strongly debated topic in the main group. It seems, after fan complaints, Harry won't be able to use "Crucio!" in the video game.

Suck.  It would've been more interesting to have him cast it and then be chastised for doing so by McGonagall.  

Oh well.  Maybe in the movie.

But I doubt it.

Yes, great mix up when people write about the books or films who don?t know what they are talking about (i.e. most journalists ? ;)
I have just watched the new film, Deathly Hallows part 1 premiere this afternoon, (I live in Germany). The scene you discuss here will be in part two of the Deathly Halllows film. Of course Hermione will look like Bella because she took Polyjuice, so it is like you wrote: Emma Watson must have helped Helena Bonham-Carter to act like Hermione, not the other way around!

In fact, assuming that Kloves has changed the plot of HBP, I still can't think of a reason for Bellatrix to become Hermione.  Of course, as I haven't seen the film yet, I could be mistaken.  I think this is referring to the time in DH when Hermione polyjuices into Bellatrix, not the other way around.  So the writer of the article got the wrong film (probably)and the situation backwards (probably).  Thus, I imagine that Emma was helping Bonham-Carter to act like Hermione, not Bonham-Carter helping Emma to act like Bellatrix.  Bonham-Carter, after all, will be required to act like Hermione when alone with Harry and Ron and then she will be required to act like Hermione pretending to be Bellatrix when they get to Diagon Alley.

Subject: To Hogwarts via the MTA
Message-ID: <id1f55+5h4j@eGroups.com>

A friend of mine sent me this link to an article that he (rightly) thought I'd find amusing:

http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2010/11/22/2010-11-22_mta_offering_service_to_hogwarts_sign_for_magical_harry_potter_train_line_appear.html

I'll include a tinyurl in case the long one gives us trouble:

http://tinyurl.com/2f587db

On an unrelated note (except that it's a link), I spent nearly a day trying to locate an old URL, which I finally found in an e-mail message and was able to access using a website called the Wayback Machine (anyone besides me old enough to understand that reference?): 

http://web.archive.org/collections/web.html

Very useful website--Wish I'd known about it years ago.

For the curious, the archived website I managed to access--and download from--is a lovely interactive Advent calendar with Bible verses and screenshots from the 2008 film "The Nativity Story." Starting December 1, you click on the blinking star (it changes each day) and open a window for each day in Advent. The music is lovely, too, and can be changed if you get tired of it. Almost forgot to include the archived URL (the old one is inaccessible): http://web.archive.org/web/20061224142503/http:
//www.thenativitystory.com/advent-calendar.html

(You have to copy and paste the whole URL, two http's and all. I can supply a tinyurl if anyone needs it.)

Happy Advent (the four weeks before Christmas) to those who celebrate it.

Carol, also wishing a slightly early Happy Hanukkah those who celebrate it
