I have a very strange request here: I have decided that I want a wooden - maple or cherry - toilet seat, and none of the hardware/houseware stores seem to carry them in my vicinity.  Anyone know a good place to find such an item?  I've googled and found several places but I'd rather look at options before buying such an item.

JUST WILD ABOUT HARRY

Author: 'Pottermania' spells trouble
Warns real occultism permeates popular children's books

Within 24 hours after its July 2005 release, "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" had sold 6.9 million copies in the United States alone – 287,564 books per hour – making it the fastest selling book in recent history.

If early buzz proves accurate, however, the whirlwind of Pottermania accompanying the July release of J.K. Rowling's seventh and final installment, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," will catapult the series to new heights in the world of literary accomplishment.
But, contends author Steve Wohlberg, what many people don't know is that when Harry Potter and his Firebolt whoosh off the shelf, he's not alone. A victory for Harry Potter means a victory for Wicca, a religion that practices various forms of witchcraft.

And the acclaimed DVD program, "Harry Potter: Witchcraft Repackaged, dramatically documents Potter references to evolution, reincarnation, sorcery, divination, spells, curses and other occult factors.
Wohlberg's new book "Exposing Harry Potter and Witchcraft: The Menace Beneath the Magic," asserts that "Harry Potter" purchases are often accompanied at the sales counter with materials on Wicca. Increasing numbers of young readers also frequent Wicca websites, cast "Love and Money Spells," and practice "white magic."
…
Wohlberg feels allowing children to read Potter just isn't worth the risk. "There are much better things for our kids to read," he said. "My wife and I have a three-year-old son who loves stories. Daily we read to him stories that teach lessons about honesty, purity, truth-telling, respect for parents, faith, and obedience to God. In 'Harry Potter,' young Harry lies a lot, break rules at school, curses, throws temper tantrums, and even drinks 'firewhisky' (he's an underage drinker)."
…
"People have a right to read Harry Potter if they wish, or to be Wiccans if they choose," he told WND. "I also have a right to express my concerns. Based on the explosive popularity of real witchcraft among young people, such a warning is urgently needed."

After reading his book, Wohlberg hopes that readers will "respond with an open heart, take warning, and avoid both Harry Potter and real witchcraft in all of its forms."

"Dabbling in the occult is dangerous… but I want my readers to begin (if they don’t already) to communicate with Wiccans respectfully, viewing them not as blood-drinking evil monsters (which they aren't), but as real human beings who need additional enlightenment," he said.

As WND reported earlier, the Vatican's top exorcist has condemned the series as leading children to the devil.
Rev. Gabriele Amorth said: "You start off with Harry Potter, who comes across as a likeable wizard, but you end up with the devil. There is no doubt that the signature of the Prince of Darkness is clearly within these books."

Hmmm...seems "enlightenment", like charity, should begin at home.

Oh well, think of all the business JRand will be getting

Neither do I!  -And, actually, never had them, and never will.  (Despite - in spite(?) - of my sweet tooth.)

[MBarnum]

He wants to take the picture of the Morelli gang with him and pass it around.

Be sure to have him ask all his family if they know of this Trax Colton guy (alias Louis Morelli).

[JoseSPiano]

OK - Time for me to head down to somewhere on 45th Street and start looking for the Roundabout Rehearsal space...

Just like the Hippagator?

No sir, the meanest animal in the world is a hippagator."

The other two in disbelief inquired as to what in the world is a hippagator, believing there was no such animal.

The gentleman slowly began to explain, "A hippagator got a hippo head on one end, and an 'gator head on the other"

"WAIT!" interrupted the others, "If he has a head on both ends, How does he sh*t?"

The reply was simply," He don't, that's what makes him so mean."

Um....

Yeah, just like that!

 

[DERBRUCER]

If it's Bridge, ibid four no-trump.

If that 's the opening bid, I presume it is "unusual" asking for best minor suit.

If my last bid was three no-tump, then your bid is quantatative.

If we have set a suit, then I need to know which version of Blackwood we are using; Regular, Roman, or Key Card?

[DERBRUCER]

Are you suggesting that many are called, and most are chosen?
