wizard_icontest needs more entries by 10pm CDT tomorrow night or else... THE WORLD ENDS OF COURSE. The themes are:

Alan Rickman (apparently he gets no love?)
Deathly Hallows Part 1
Darkness

Enter here. Even one icon would be a huge help. Plus, since this contest is not affiliated with HiH you can post these icons at hogwartsicons for points.

Works like an icon war, except with quotes. Basically, pick a quote and start a new thread, or reply to someone's thread with a quote. No other text allowed. These quotes can come from anywhere, from books to movies and beyond! Citations with the character's name and/or fandom would be awesome, but not strictly required. Enjoy! :D

Example:
Start: "I've got a jar of diiiirt!" - Jack Sparrow
Reply 1: "Power is always a relative concept."—the illithid Yharaskrik
Reply to Reply 1: "Do keep ever present in your thoughts, my friend, that an illusion can kill you if you believe in it." - Jarlaxle.

My friend's coworker's husband went missing in NYC. I'd like to spread the word, and if you can share this in any way you can twitter, facebook, lj, tumblr, whatever, please do. It's appreciated even if you aren't in the NY area, for obvious reasons. Thank you guys for taking the time to read this! Hopefully with the power of social networking we can find him!

This is the website.
This is the facebook page.
This is the twitter account.

I posted about this before and quite a few of you already joined in. I want to remind you that we're starting in three days so download your pedometer apps for your phones or go buy one.

SAVE SIRIUS!

Sirius has just seen the Minister's newspaper-- is that Peter Pettigrew on Ron Weasley's shoulder?? He must escape before Peter kills Harry! But he can't escape on his own! This is where we come in.

Erstwhile Hogwarts students, get to Azkaban and save Sirius! He promises he will not give your name away or implicate you in the crime. He'll say he escaped alone but we all know you helped.

WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT? We're going to have a fun walking competition at http://community.walkertracker.com. It's recommended that the average person walk 10,000 steps a day. This competition is set up to require about 7700 steps per day so it's great for beginners. If you're not a beginner and you want to challenge yourself a bit more, try swimming part of the way-- it is the North Sea after all.

How do you participate? The easiest way is to have a pedometer, which is $10-40 for a "cheap" version or maybe you have a fitbit or Nike fuelband or whatever. There are also a ton of FREE pedometer aps for your phone.

You can also do all sorts of activities such as swimming, Wii sports, yoga, vacuuming, you name it and keep track of your time. Then use this web site to convert your time into steps.

I also have an extra if someone is really hard up and wants me to loan you a pedometer.

SERIOUSLY GUYS WE'VE BEEN WALKING FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS ON THIS THING AND I LOST 17 POUNDS. I know that not everyone is into weight loss, some people want to get fit, others may just want to prove to all of us how fit they already are XD But it's been fun and I made a few new friends and lost more than a few old pounds so I do NOT want to stop when our current walk ends.
