What happens when you refuse to co-operate with The Powers That Be?
The Reluctant Hero Saga
[center]© pcp 2013.[/center]
The current accepted scientific theory is that there are multiple bubble universes coexisting with ours. This is nothing new to us comic book readers or sci-fi enthusiast; we've known that for decades. It's called The Multiverse.
My name is unimportant as I'm sure that we'll never meet. I am average. I mean it; I am of average height, weight, looks and intelligence. I went to school and made basic grades. I like girls, usually not the ones that might like me though. I had a friend or two that I lost touch with when we left school just like everyone else. If I walked into a room a few people might look up to see who entered and then go back to what they were doing, while most wouldn't even bother to notice. I am everyman and no one all at the same time. Nothing exciting happens to me.
So why the hell am I writing this you ask? Simple; you see I no longer live on Earth, well that's not correct; I no longer live on My Earth. It all started when I was walking home; I observed this old house that I had never noticed before. Now I walked this route daily and I know if it had been there before to-day, I would have seen it.
It was a house that had gone to ruin from neglect and it had a turret on one side of the front door that probably formed the living room while upstairs it was the master bedroom. I just couldn't help myself I went up to the front door and tried it and sure enough it opened. It was lit by the daylight that was streaming through the windows, which meant that I could see clearly but it wouldn't last much longer. I ran upstairs to check it out and sure enough the turret part was a bedroom with old furniture left in it. The bed was a big old queen-size four poster that had the remnants of what appeared to be curtains attached to it. It reminded me of Scrooge's bed in those old movies we all watch at Christmas time. I would not have been surprised to find a chamber pot and bed warmer under it. Beside the bed was an old round side table with an old, well used candle in a metal candle holder. On the pillow was a book opened and turned upside down, as if someone had been reading it. This bugged me as I like books and that is a disrespectful way to treat one, it can break the spine.
I looked into the other rooms and saw another slightly smaller bedroom and what might have been a nursery except it was empty but for an old rocker. I went down stairs and checked it out. At the back was a kitchen with an enormous fireplace and an old country table, which seemed to be hand carved, with three chairs. Going back to the front door I found a living room on the side opposite of the turret which had a chesterfield and arm chair for entertaining guests.
The turreted room turned out to be a Library with a bookshelf of books and a comfortable reading chair and ottoman. I looked at some of the titles of the books, most of which I had never heard of such as "Industrial, Light & Magic: How they can exist in Harmony", "The Chronicles of the People of Sklar" and "The Arts and Practices of Mrlyhn: Mage, Sorcerer or Charlatan?", along with many more. The ones that caught my interests the most though were those that had titles I knew. Like "Alice through the looking glass", "The Wizard of Oz", "John Carter of Mars" and numerous others that seemed to take part in alternate realities from the protagonist's world. I picked one called "How I got Here: A guide to leaving home unannounced" and sat in the chair to read it. It was about a young man that had been transported to another dimension where he found that it was several centuries behind his and they had yet to learn about electricity and modern medicine. I was well into it when I noticed that the light had started to fade, making it hard to read. So I got up and found a book mark returning the book to its place on the shelf before leaving by the way I came in. As I shut the door I could swear that I heard it lock but when I tried it again it opened as easily as before.
The next day as I walked home I stopped into a camping store and bought a head lamp that you charged by cranking it, as well as a sleeping blanket with a body heat return inside, you know it looks like silver foil. It turned out that they had a dumb sale on if you bought certain items you got a free gift. I qualified for a hunting knife which looked more like a large diving knife to me and its strap on sheath. I purchased some jerky at the corner store along with bottle water and headed towards the house. I opened the door and went into the Library, as I put my bag on the chair I realised that the circular night table was beside it and on it was a purple and gold embroidered Royal Crown Bag. I figured someone else had been inside and called out. I then went upstairs and looked into those rooms too; the book on the pillow was missing as was the candle but everything else seemed the same.
I went back down and checked the sitting room but could not determine any differences there either. I sat in the chair and stated reading again. I could not get into the story as the Crown Royal bag kept drawing my attention. I mean I knew it was empty; there was no bottle in it and it looked flat other than the corner that always seems to have a bad stitch. I picked it up putting my hand inside and immediately felt something grab it and start pulling on it. It was another hand but that was impossible, so I grabbed the window sill and pulled for dear life. Whoever was pulling me must have done the same thing as they were not budging but I was. I felt myself slowly being pulled into the bag, yes I know the bag is just big enough to hold a twenty-six ounce bottle of booze, that didn't stop the feeling nor the fear that I was about to disappear unannounced. I reached for my shopping bag and looped my arm through the handles then dragged out the knife and stabbed where my hand ended. It hit something and whatever it was let go of my hand. I pulled out quickly and sat gasping and sweating looking at the bag in fear and disbelief. "WTF" was all I could think. I sat for a while and must have dozed off because when I awoken it was dark and my watch showed it was ten o'clock. I went to the front door and left for home vowing never to return.
The next day I went to the house with my previous bought items as well as paper, pen and my eighteen clip FNS-40 just in case, as well as extra clips in my knack sack. I opened the Crown Royal bag and tossed in one of the notes that I had written last night. I waited a few moments and then turned the bag upside down and shook it; there was no way in hell that I was placing my hand in there again that's for sure. Out dropped a piece of paper on which I read my name plus some additional information.
It seems that "I" had stumbled upon an old cave in which I found a bag with jewels seemingly spilling out of it. I reached inside to check for more and was pulled into the bag. I emerged in an old house that seemed to be built into the roots of an Oak tree. There sitting in front of my seventeen year old self was an older version by about thirty years, this was five years or so ago.
My head was swimming, I mean if you had written me this I would have laughed at you. Talk about preposterous plot outlines. Apparently I am a Fixed Universal Point, one of the few beings in all Universes that exist around which time and history rotate. I mean I am tempted to say "Dr.?" right? This all sort of blew most of my prewritten questions out of the ball park. I threw in one though and again shook out the answer.
"Every one of us is searched out by TPTB and something that would peak our interest is placed to bring us to the wormhole. We are then snatched by the one that we are to replace, who then moves onto another world to help it. Only the one most suited to the job is picked. Please come through as I have been summoned and I cannot leave this world without you here."
I have to admit that I was tempted but I wanted more info on this swap. I wrote out a new piece of paper and sent it on its way; a little while later came its reply.
"Nobody has ever refused before and you could maybe even cause grave consequences if you don't come." Well as I said being average means that I have average curiosity, with no need or desire for adventure. So I put the bag in a drawer and sat down to read some more books.
The one I picked up was about a fifteen year old boy that was somehow sucked into another world when his parents were attacked at home. It turned out that he was a Mage on this world and he used his knowledge from his home world to create weapons of mass destruction, rifles, pistols and such. It was an engulfing story and I enjoyed it, even if it left me wanting more. The next story I read was about a man that had hidden out on another world for eighty some years and when he returned to his own world he found out that millennia had passed since he left. I never found out what had happened as every time I picked up the book to read on, chapters had disappeared like they had never been written. The next book was about a mage that became involved with a once and future king, or his advisor, who had evolved into something beyond anything any one could imagine. The protagonist had an ability to travel to other universes to see what could happen in his, based upon the decisions he made. Also very enjoyable but I was beginning to see a pattern here, while thinking about this I had an eerie feeling that I should get out so I grabbed my stuff and went to leave. The door was stuck and would not budge, so I took my gun and blew the hinges off and when the door fell in I made my escape.
I went home and notice that I had not zipped up my knack sack and one of the books had fallen in. It was the one that had been on the pillow which other than a precursory look I had not read. So I sat on my bed and started in on it. It was about a guy around my age that had been pulled through a hole in his mother's bedroom closet to another world and how he had used his smarts to better the lives of people there. Now most people would go check out their closet but not me I was quite happy with where I was and just who I was. I had no special knowledge, not about fighting other than what I saw in gung fu movies nor about weapons other than to load a magazine and point at what I wanted to hit. I knew nothing about magic except that it was all illusion, sleight of hand and misdirection. So if I did go to another world I would either be useless or dead within the first chapter. I mean let's be honest here; I am a bloody red shirt. Well I felt myself dozing off and after all the trickery that had been happening I knew I did not want this book near me while I slept. I opened my window and tossed the damn book out it and then closed it again before going to bed.
The next morning I was woken by pounding on my door. I answered it and there stood this sweet young thing in a short green dress and what seemed like wings sown on the back.
"Did you through this book at me last night?" she asked.
"No." I replied, "A friend did. He got drunk and was mad that I was reading it rather than go drinking with him. I am sorry if it hit you."
"It didn't but I saw your window close, but as it was rather late I decided to drop it off this morning. I read it and found it interesting. Maybe we could discuss it over coffee some time."
"Sure but why are you dressed like a fairy?"
"I work at the theme park downtown as a pixie. I live in Apt. 8 so if you are interested we can grab that coffee some time. I've got to go or I'll be late for work. Bye."
Well I watched out the window to see her but never saw her leave. I then remembered two things, first we don't have a theme park and second there are only six flats in this building. That was it; I grabbed my sack, threw in a couple boxes of ammo, the book and headed back to the house. I was going to put the book in the shelf and leave for good. It dawned on me that it might be boarded up now as either the police had noticed the door down or someone had called them.
Freaking place, the door was back and once again opened for me, as if it had never been dismantled. Well fuck that I thought I sure am not sticking around. So I was almost half way out the door when I saw that damn Royal Crown bag sitting on the side table and it looked like it was full of paper. Next thing I knew I was picking it up, untying the draw string and emptying all the messages that had accumulated onto the table. I picked one up and started reading them.
"Glad you came back, it wouldn't be the same without you." "Okay, let's get a few things straight. Time is running out and if you do not come through now, your opportunity will be lost." "Grab what things you would like to bring with you in a box or bag and get the show on the road." "Gillian seems to like you and looks forward to boinking your brains out." "I am waiting." I won't go on as most of the messages were of the same ilk. I picked up my pen and wrote, "Don't hold your breath waiting as I am not coming so fuck off and go find another us." I threw it into the bag along with a pixie stick I had brought from the store. I was about to close it when I thought of another note and wrote."If you don't stop sending notes I will burn this bag with mage fire and your little house too." I hope he/I bought into the bluff.
I tied the bag and started on a walk to cool down and relieve the stress that had been building up. Now don't get me wrong Gillian was pretty, hell to be honest she was the hottest blue eyed blonde I had ever seen. To think that she wanted to boink my brains out was tempting but for all I know I could be lying. Wait a minute, when did I start thinking of him as me? Now I don't know about you but I believe in Free Will and I don't care who says I have to do something. I don't, if I don't want to. I stopped into the barista to get a "double double" to go and continued on my walk. I decided to go to the park and sit for awhile, that always seemed to relax me. I was sitting on the bench snoozing with my coffee cooling when I heard a horse whiny. I looked up and there was a mounted police man and a German Sheppard, straight out of 'Sgt. Preston of The North West Mounted'.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Should you not be somewhere else?" he replied.
"Nope, I am where I am supposed to be and right where I want to be." I said.
"Well we think that you are being difficult and not very accommodating to yourselves. You should go back and do as you have been asked."
"Who are the we that you are talking about? Should I call a cruiser to investigate your authenticity as a police officer?"
With that he and his dog left me to my cold drink and warm sunshine.
I sat for a while when a young girl came over to me and asked why I was in the park alone. I told her that I was thinking about things and enjoying the day and listening to her and her friends playing. I also asked her didn't her mommy ever tell her not to talk to strangers? As she skipped away I could swear that she said something like "I won't have a mommy if you don't go to her daddy." I looked up and it looked like she had small wings on her dress.
Now this was getting annoying. What the fuck was wrong with the universe, hadn't it ever been refused before? Well it was now and as far as I was concerned the next living being that went on about this I would shoot dead. Damn it to Hell.
So have you ever had one of those days where you regret saying or thinking things? This it seemed was mine. I got up and started for home and stopped in the take-out restaurant for a doctor non approved meal with whatever it is that they pass off as a milkshake. You know the ones I mean; they are so thick that you can feel you sphincter pucker up, your scrotum pull up into your body and your eyes bulging out of your head from trying to drink it. I am sure that they are not made from milk, probably petroleum by-products made to thin out the herd. The entire planet should only have about two billion people and we are quickly closing in on ten billion, am I right?
Well I get home and I am setting out my meal with great anticipation, not. When I notice smoke coming under my door, just great now they're trying to burn me out I think. As I get up to check the door for heat, the smoke starts to swirl into the form of a man.
A Vampire? They send a fucking blood sucker after me? Well I did say I'd shoot the next living being dead and if he is already dead then I guess I cannot do that eh.
"What the hell do you want?" I ask, not too graciously.
"I have come to talk to you about what has been going on with you."
"Just talk? And if I still won't co-operate then I'll join the undead, right? Oh and what happened to knocking? You die and lose your manners do you?"
"I do apologize but I did not expect to be a welcomed guest, so to speak. I am surprised that you accept that I can enter without being invited. Most people think that is a given and become angry as well as frightened when they realise that is not true."
"Naw, I realise that is from Hollywood Land. What I do find amazing is that you came at all, I mean I did make my decision well known did I not?"
"Yes, but I hope you realise that we all must play our parts to keep things running smoothly like they are suppose to."
"Okay, what is your pitch and if I listen to your spiel will you answer some questions for me? Honestly?"
"But of course, if I am able to. Just let me start off that if you are trying to hold me until sunrise, it will not affect me."
"Naturally that too is Hollywood Land. Would you like something to eat I bought a couple of burgers and fries plus a Maxsize Milkshake. I would be willing to share if you can partake of it."
"Thank-you, I can eat and drink human food and would like to try your local cuisine."
With that I got up and got a plastic glass to pour half of my shake for him. I passed him one of the burgers and shook some fries into the box's lid. I sat down and nodded my head for him to start his exercise in futility.
"You understand much readily." He started off. "Well as you might have surmised you are the current you to be exchanged with yourself. When you arrive the 'you' there will be moved to another existence where he will prove to be well fitted to solve its problems. Now seeing as you have not been set up to exchange with your replacement it seems that your world might go for years until you are forgotten or a need for you to be here arises. Am I making sense?"
"Yes and you have answered one question that I had." I replied.
"Good. Now I want you to know that you will adapt easily to your new world. There are many friends that you will make as well as allies in your battles. You will even probably find love."
"Okay, are you a friend or an ally?" I inquired of him. "What do you mean by battles? There is nothing in my life that qualifies me for battles in any form."
"Contrary to what you believe, you are qualified. As for us being friends and allies at first we were not to be but your refusal to co-operate has forced TPTB to move up certain things to adapt for your tardiness. In fact I didn't know about this alternate world thingy until Gillian came to me and explained what was wrong. I didn't believe her at first, I mean one of you was bad enough but multiples? Give me a break, you know. She then pointed out that the you I was planning to attack is much younger than the you I previously had run-ins with. She told me how You had not been enticed by her; how I will never understand as she is the sexiest pixie I have ever known. Hell, she can even make my blood run hot. She also told me that you had threatened an Imperial Guardian causing him to run off frightened."
Okay, if TPTB are all that powerful why not just either find another me or wait to see if I go there and let things unfold as they should. I mean letting everyone know about this alternate crap cannot be very good for business, know what I mean?"
"Normally they do adapt easier but you are actually the first you that has ever been this damn headstrong about not moving. This burger and fries, as you call them, are good what are they made of? This shake thing though, I have had congealed blood that was easier to drink."
Now that last bit was little more info than I needed to hear. Unfortunately for Drac, I still was not convinced to leave my life behind. I told him so and offered my hand to shake good-bye; he of course had to be told what I was doing. Just before escorting him to the door I asked him how could he be sure that when he got back home that he wouldn't forget all of what had just happened? He looked at me like I was kidding, shook his head and said it would have been fun and left.
That night I didn't fall asleep as readily as I normally do. I thought about how all these peeps seemed to be so concerned with my decision. I suddenly knew what that woman, in the adverts, who needs the sleep inducing liquid must feel like. I tossed and turned, I couldn't get the thoughts of Vampires and pixies out of my head. Finally I made my decision and a great light brightened my room, it was the sunrise. There was no way that I was going and nothing would change my mind. I heard my neighbour say good morning to me, I went to the door and opened it to reply and there I was.
"Get in here!" I told myself as I pulled me into the apartment. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" I asked. "Well seeing as Mohammed would not come to the mountain, I came to you." was my reply.
I never knew how insufferable I could be until now. Why I was a central point in the Multiverse I would never figure out. I guess we all must be something but why a main jackass?
Now why I was surprised to see myself is actually amazing. It's not like anything out of the ordinary had not been happening these past few days. I chopped it up to the meeting yourself time travelling paradox, I expected to create an alternate universe or destroy this one. Then it dawned on me, I was an alternate universe that already existed. I was not time travel meeting myself, I was alternateverse meeting myself. I was safe or was I? I now wondered what I was up to. Knowing myself it had to be something sneaky. Very sneaky, at that.
It was then that I noticed myself reaching to grab me; I quickly moved away from myself and thus missed me. I saw a twig appear from his/my sleeve and he started muttering under his breath. He had a genuine look of shock on his face when nothing happened. Uhuh, he had tried magic. Only to find that it doesn't exist in this my world.
Now generally I am a calm and gentle person but this dickhead was trying my patience. So I grabbed him and smacked his head against the wall. He was out like a light and while he was I tied him up to a chair. I then threw ice water on his face and when he came to I showed him a butcher knife.
"Well boyo", I say "I guess you are not as smart as me. I would have tried the wand trick before I got to you, to see if it worked first."
"Maybe that is why they want you to take over." He replies giving me the evil eye.
"Look mate, I don't give a rats arse why they want me. I don't want anything to do with them. Once they get that understood we can all get on with living." I tell him.
"Now let me ask you what would happen if I kill you here and now. Leaving your world with no me?" I can see him thinking this over and finally he says, "I really don't know. It has never happen to my knowledge."
"Well if you give me your word I will untie you and you can go back home. Maybe they have started a talent search and Simon has put some unlucky bastard through." I say.
He does and I do. As he is heading towards the door he asks me why I am so much against this.
"Simple, I wasn't asked. They didn't buy me dinner and a drink. Nor did they kiss me first; you know I like to be kissed when I get screwed. All of those reasons apply but mainly They did not ask." With that I opened the door and saw him out. I knew he would not return, after all I am a man of my word. So I got dressed, oh did I forget to tell you I was still in my boxers? I got dressed and went for my morning walk.
I decided to walk pass the house to see if they finally got the message. It was still there so I went in to sort of say good bye. I admit once again I was surprised, for there sitting in the chair was me reading a book. This was not the me that had just left but a much younger me about ten or eleven years old. I coughed and he looked up and I am sorry but I could not resist it and said, "Hi mini me."
He looked at me and smiled and said hi back. Then he began to shine and this time it had nothing to do with the sun. It was as those kids had described what happened at Lourdes. I looked about for the dimmer that the Ghost of Christmas Past had carried with it. He must have realised that I was willing to snuff him out because he dimmed it down a few notches.
"Okay, let's have it what do you want to say; other than you must do it for the sake of The Multiverse. If all those superheroes in comics can survive so many changes why can't you or it or whatever?"
"First we apologise for not asking you. In all the millennia that we have been doing this we have never had you refuse."
"Maybe that is because you never had Me before. Do you actually think that coming and giving a half hearted request will change my mind?" I asked.
"Actually we are sorry and not because we did a more intense look into you either. It seems that you are the real you. That is why when we tried to move you on our own it didn't work."
"I find that hard to believe." I replied. "How can that be? I have no special powers or abilities, I'm just average."
"That is why all your other selves can adapt and have various special abilities . Most others of your ilk all have the same abilities and/or powers as their other selves. Now let's talk about how we get you into this adventure, with little or nothing down."
"Why would I want to get involved? I am happy where I am in my life and with who I am. I accepted long ago my abilities or rather my lack thereof. Knowing that you could come back at any time, wanting me to move again, to the next branch office at any time. I will have made friends and lovers and then you will expect me to leave them behind. No way José is my reply."
He sat for a moment in deep thought, "What if we stipulate that if you move you can take certain people with you providing that they agree?"
"You must allow that anyone who now knows about me will remember all of this. Also Drac and Gillian must be friends and allies with me; I find them both interesting and fun." I stipulated.
"His name is Varney not Drac. Those that want to be friends and/or allies will make that decision on their own. Does this mean that you agree to go?"
"No, I just wanted to see how far you are willing to pervert your standards." Suddenly there was a bright light and I was in the field, which had previously held the house, alone. I looked about and noticed that the area looked as I remembered it before all of this had started. I continued my walk and headed home.
In my apartment I sat and thought about the past few days, had I made the right decision? Did I make it because I enjoyed my life or was I just being pigheaded? It was then that I heard my name in a Regal commanding voice. I looked about and there in the corner was a wisp of purple-gold light. The voice said, "I am glad that you are finally thinking this out and I understand your reluctance. I do need you to accept this position and to travel to the world that will soon need your abilities."
"What abilities?" I asked.
"Being average. That is what is needed now. Don't worry you will gain knowledge and be given allies to do the things that you currently cannot." The light seemed subdued and the voice was pleasing but still I had concerns.
"If I do go the things I asked for will be as I meant. I don't want to have to worry about having to count my fingers."
"That's Luke not me."
"No, that is all of you. You play with mortals as if we are Kens and Barbies. You take us apart and you put us back together in twisted forms for your amusement. I have learnt something through this and believe me you don't want to make me mad."
"Will you go?" HE asked.
"Yes but I want it to be dignified, not through some whiskey marketing bag. I want my exits and entrances to be as follows. I want the book shelf to slide aside and behind it a pole that I can slide down into the next world. I want my house in any world that I reside in to always be the turreted one that started all of this. I want it protected against violence and evil and that it can never be destroyed. I want my clothes to be what I find to be comfortable but neither shabby nor highfalutin. I want my jeans, ranch style shirts, good hiking boots, sneakers and comfortable slippers. I want my FNS-40 and enough ammo to last my lifetime. I want to be able to have my favourite foods from here and share them with Varney and others. I also want to be able to make my own decisions without interference from you or anyone with authority from you. They can advise, suggest, etc. but they can not unduly influence me. If this is acceptable let me know. Oh, if I talk to you I want to know that you are listening."
Suddenly my knapsack appeared beside me. I looked at it and noticed all my required things were neatly packed inside and it looked bigger on the inside than it did on the outside. I slung it on my shoulder and walked out the apartment door for what might be the last time. I went to my home and as I approached it I knew that is exactly what it was. I opened the door and went inside to the library. I slid the book shelf aside and sure enough there was the pole. I could hear sounds rising up as if a party was in progress and then I heard my voice yell "Hey get your arse down here, I can only stay a little while seeing you took so long." I looked out the window and as I grabbed the pole I started to have second thoughts, again. I grabbed the pole and started the slide.
"Here goes nothing." I thought. "I just hope that I don't show up in spandex."
See you on the other side.

I really liked the concept and dialog of this story. Yes, there are some things that are inconsistent with what we've been taught all our lives. You are the creator of this 'verse' and as such, have the power to mold it into anything you deem fitting. Ignore the naysayers. I would leave a positive rating but it appears to be broken and doesn't allow my vote to count. I would like to read another chapter from the 'new verse'.

He never slept in the house so maybe you need to take a comprehension course.
Vampires being affected by sunlight goes back to the silent movie Nosferatu. It ends with Count Orlok (Dracula) being destroyed by sunlight.
If you had actually read Dracula you would know that he went out in the daylight, it is shown in the 1992 movie 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' starring Gary Oldman.
As for things that average people do is very broad even to the fact of being Heroic at times. If you had also comprehended you would have realised that he thought of himself as average. Most of the time our own impressions of ourselves is incorrect.

I'm afraid I have to say I thought this was a decidedly mediocre story. Almost average... The guy is clearly anything but average, as he goes into a house without knowing who owns it, decides to sleep there and finds the idea of an adventure repulsive. These are things that the 'average' person would think are strange. Also, sun affecting vampires goes back to Dracula and beyond. Do some research.

I might continue this, it depends on the me that wrote it though. What typos did you mean?
Sorry about the bold, it was suppose to be just the title.
Demented? Demented? Oh, I see what you mean.
Let me know where you are and I will definitely kick you. We have a personal section for this stuff but seeing as you are underage your ISP would be banned.

By Michael Muldoon
---- — Noah Vonleh of Haverhill, ESPN.com's No. 8 ranked senior basketball player in the country, has made a verbal commitment to Indiana University.
The announcement was made via Twitter by Mass. Rivals, his club basketball team, at 12:02 a.m. Sunday morning.
Vonleh told ESPN.com, "From Day 1, Indiana has been recruiting me the hardest. They were just letting me know how they could develop me into the player I want to be at the next level. Their academics are good, they're the No. 1 team in the country and they've got another great class coming in next year. They said next year I could come in and be one of the main guys. They're going to lose Christian Watford, and probably Zeller, so they want me to come in a be a big piece right away."
Vonleh was in Bloomington for Friday's season opener and judging by his quick decision, it must have been impressive. The sellout crowd of 17,472 for the blowout win over Bryant showered him with affection.
"As soon as I walked out near the court they started chanting, 'We want Noah,' " he told ESPN.com.
His other announced finalists were Connecticut, Georgetown, North Carolina, Ohio State and Syracuse.
It's been a whirlwind couple months for the multi-talented 6-8, 225-pound forward at New Hampton School in New Hampton, N.H.
First, on Sept. 24 he announced he would be a senior this year. He had played two years at Haverhill High then originally announced he'd be attending three years of prep school.
With the relatively late change of plans, the assumption was he'd make his announcement in the spring.
The Hoosiers, who had struggled for several years, are back. They are the consensus preseason No. 1 team in the nation. They have the nation's top player in sophomore 7-foot center Cody Zeller, but he'll likely go pro after the season.
Vonleh, who turned 17 in August, is the highest rated athlete ever from the region in a major sport.
Rob Konrad of North Andover and St. John's Prep was a second-team USA Today All-American fullback in 1994. Pitcher Jay Yennaco was chosen by the Red Sox in the third round out of Pinkerton Academy in 1995. Ethan Philpott of North Andover and Philips was taken in the third round by the Buffalo Sabres in 1993. Central Catholic's Scott Hazelton, a Somerville native, was a McDonald's Basketball All-American in 2000.
But none were wooed as intensely or rated as highly as Vonleh.

This 66-year-old successfully fought off four or five attackers and was stabbed numerous times. The Philadelphia Police Department's northeast Detectives Division is looking to identify the suspects as quickly as possible.
The incident occurred on February 8, 2014, at 3:54pm, according to police. They say that the 3&1 Variety store located at the 6700 block of Castor Avenue was robbed. Police say that the 66-year-old store clerk was robbed, hit on the head by an object and stabbed in the chest, but he managed to fight off his attackers and chase them out of the store.
The incident started, authorities say, when four or five unknown males entered the store and attempted to sell the man a watch. When he refused to buy the watch, police say he was suddenly attacked by the males and was struck with an unknown object in his head and stabbed numerous times in his chest and stomach.
However, when the males attempted to break open a display case, the hardy old man was able to chase the males from the store.
The suspects then fled from the store and were last seen on Castor Avenue, investigators say. The complainant was transported to Aria Torresdale Hospital where he was listed in guarded condition.
Here's the Suspect Description, according to surveillance and police:
If you see these suspects do not approach them. Police say contact 911 immediately. To submit a tip via telephone, dial 215.686.TIPS (8477) or text a tip to PPD TIP or 773847. Use this electronic form to submit a tip anonymously.

About the Project
Each year, millions of women have abortions, yet many feel secretive and alone in their decision. By bringing together personal stories, Project Voice hopes to establish a resource of sharing and support, and convey that abortion is a choice many women have made, and continue to make, for a variety of reasons. Women of all ages, races, religions, backgrounds, and circumstances have had abortions. The more women who share their stories here, the more accurately Project Voice can represent the multiplicities of abortion experiences.

Some lovely figure studies!
Good to see more fellow English posters on here.
Can see your working hard, keep it up.
Good stuff.
Looking for Feedback! Please visit my sketchbook..
Kambei Shimada Thank you! Im definitely going to keep going.
Ooh, second page!
Didnt get round to updating for a couple of days. Ive been doing some imagination doodles and such but nothing worth posting. So here are some figures with some 30 second sketches I did more but there isnt really any point posting them. And I did a bunch of quick Photoshop studies, just trying to get into it. Nothing good but its all progress! Hopefully
Hello! Have some of the not so good Photoshop stuff from today I did some colour blending stuff as well which helped a bit. I also did some anatomy studies but theyre not too interesting.
you are doing well with your studies just work a little more on proportions I can't wait to see what else you post in your sketchbook
Udonhead Thanks Yeah, proportions something Im struggling with quite a bit, hopefully itll come with more practice. Im definitely going to look at it more
Some studies and imagination from today
Does anybody know of any good websites for landscape references? Thanks
Some of the things from today, tried to focus more on proportion but everything looked terrible. Im hoping its just one of those days Also, started a Photoshop study that Im going to really try and push in order to get a better understanding of skin tones. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Quick post. Did a bit more of the study above and a quick screencap study. Ive realised that I cannot properly paint shadows. So Im definitely going to work on that Its all feeling a bit one step forward two steps back but at least Im enjoying it. Haha. I also did a bunch of imagination sketches as well in an attempt to stop worrying so much about the final outcome but the scanner is playing up.
Hey, thanks for commenting in my sketchbook. You've got some very good studies here, very clean lines.
If you want to improve your drawings from imagination, try doing some memory drawings. Go to a site like Quickposes.com, look at a pose for a minute or half a minute and then turn the monitor off and try to draw what you can remember about the pose.
Also, if you want to improve how you see values and how you paint, draw still lives or interiors from life. That's the only thing that is really lacking from your sketchbook. If you practice drawing from life a lot, it will improve your anatomy studies, your general approach, composition skills etc.
You're really promising, I hope you keep drawing, all the best

"Don't worry about your originality. You could not get rid of it even if you wanted to. It will stick to you and show you up for better or worse in spite of all you or anyone else can do" Robert Henri
Hey, Sophie! Thanks for stopping by my sketchbook, I appreciate it.
I see you're doing solid work here, if I was doing half the anatomy studies you are I'd be very satisfied! Also, take black-swan up on her advice, especially the part about drawing from life, I think it's very helpful for everything.
Keep it up!
black-swan Thank you so much for the advice! Im going to start doing the drawings from imagination straight away And youre right about doing still-lives; I think I have a tendency to avoid them. Thanks again!
Nouge Thanks Im definitely going to try and draw more frequently from life.
Hello! Ive been in Spain on a trip for a few days and spent a lot of my time focusing on drawing people So here are some of the things that I did, theres a mixture of drawings from life and ones copied from photographs that I took. Theyre all mainly very quick sketches. I have a lot more but theyre not too much different. It was nice to draw in a different environment and its helped me to feel a lot more motivated so Im going to go draw!
nice updates! still liking the pencils but your digital work seems to fall back a bit. i see a lot of unsaturated colors so try and play around with that as well as contrast.
I agree with kevins post. I like what i see! More color though! Don't be afraid to turn up the contrast and saturation a bit.
kevin_ - I totally agree, I really need to work on the digital side of things. Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it
Colour Coded Thanks Yeah, Im really trying to not be so afraid of using more colours; I have to stop worrying about things looking terrible because thats the only way to learn.
I did some quick, pretty messy sketches today that I had to do for college. I also did some quick Photoshop studies trying to look at colour; I think they helped a bit. I tried one from imagination but it doesnt look too great Im hoping tomorrow Ill have time to start a still-life that I can put some time into
I did some of those imagination anatomy studies where you look at a figure and try to copy it form imagination. And I started a bust study but it looks so terrible so I may post it if it starts to look a bit more presentable. Im feeling a bit lost art-wise at the moment so I think Im just going to reassess my goals etc. all I know is that Im still really passionate about it. I can see this becoming a recurring theme in my sketchbook, me constantly being confused about which direction to take. Maybe Im just thinking too much into it?
Hello! Just some quick 30 second sketches, I did a page from reference and a page from imagination there are more but I didnt see much point in scanning them. Same poses drawn from memory and a page from imagination. I need to start tackling my major weaknesses some of which are hands and feet; I have a tendency to roughly sketch them in instead of actually thinking about them. So I did a couple studies but Im going to try and look at them more later on today Speaking of weaknesses, my necks are still looking pretty bad. Im going to try and start focusing on colour a lot more as well.
Did some pencil stuff today, not as much as Id like but Im feeling a tiny bit more confident drawing figures. I did a photo study but Im still struggling with colours and tried a self-portrait, I wanted to focus on lighting but it didnt really work and I dont think theres much likeness either. I did try some imagination stuff in Photoshop along with a couple more studies and as a result Im thinking that for the rest of the week Im going to try focusing solely on painting, looking at colours, light etc. and see where that goes because all of those things are such massive weaknesses.
Not much so far today Did some crappy studies trying to go right back to the basics, looking at things like light. Im hopefully going to have time to start a little still-life later; I need to stop putting it off if I want to actually get better.
nice you really see that the construction studies for the head really paid off
Every critique helps me to get on step closer towards my dream so feel free to
Grey_Rift Thanks Its nice to know that theres some improvement, I thinks its easier sometimes to just focus on all that I need to improve so I dont notice actual improvement. Haha. Thanks again
A study of a spoon, its pretty bad but already looking at it I can see what I should have done differently so Im definitely going to attempt another one tomorrow to see if Ive really learnt anything.
Very nice figure studies Really need to do more of this myself. Keep it up!
Karl Schulschenk Thank you!
Hello again! Not that good of an update. An unfinished, pretty embarrassing sketch and then a study that I started to try and work on skin tones since the sketch really showed me how bad I am at it. Im hoping to do a bit more to it and hopefully bring it close to finish as it should help. And then a study I did of a knife I did some pencil stuff of clothing studies but Im too lazy to scan. Very small steps but Im looking forward to looking back on this when Im hopefully better
Some studies and stuff from today
Thanks for stopping by my SB. Your work is really awesome. So detailed and seemingly effortless.
Hey, thanks for the comment I see a lot of hard working and frequent posting, so definitely keep it up. The lines and skin tones are looking good too, but I would suggest looking more into some basic head construction and placement of features etc. I see you already studied some head structure from Loomis, but it pays to be consistently revisiting all that stuff. Good progress so far!
Odd Berry Creations Thank you
JoeS Thanks. I completely know what you mean! My faces often end up a bit wonky etc. I need to remember to keep taking it back to the basics to try and make things a bit more solid. Thanks again
Couldnt focus today everything looked rather terrible. As mentioned above, basic construction is something I need to look at so much more
Hello! I currently have no access to a scanner so here are some quick, messy studies done before bed.
keep up the studies - they looking very good
the spoon, knife and landscape are looking nice - you catch the colors
basic construction -> gottfried bammes
Zauselbart Thank you very much Ill definitely check him out!
Heres some of the stuff from today and yesterday, Ive been primarily looking at the head at the moment. Theres more but the scanner takes too long
Hello! Some of the stuff from today Still looking at the head a bit as Im currently looking at it for college. And some other things including really bad Photoshop studies. Sorry for the photos its just Im too lazy to scan Thanks for looking
Just a tiny update, no time to scan things unfortunately. Im still really uncomfortable with Photoshop but hopefully thatll change over time.

Student Loan Borrowers
Below are some tips to help you find out what's available in financial aid, and what you'll need to do to apply.
- The first step is to understand exactly how much money you'll need. Our financial aid tools can help.
- Before you even think about borrowing, search the world over for scholarships and grants. We're a good place to start. You might be able to help pay for school through work-study programs, too.
- Then, find out what's available in federal loans. Through the U.S. Department of Education's Direct Loan Program, you might qualify for loans that are interest-free while you're in college. This program has loans available to students and parents regardless of income level.
- If you can't get all of your tuition and expenses funded through grants, scholarships and federal loans (Stafford, PLUS and Grad PLUS), you may want to look at private student loan options from SunTrust. With these private loans, you can even borrow money for a computer to use at school.
- If you or your parents have any type of property, it might make sense to explore other loan options for getting the money you need for tuition.

So says Mike Ozanian at Forbes SportsMoney, "the conventional wisdom is that salary caps benefit poorer teams. But in reality they benefit richer teams more." I've been arguing this for some time now, and I'm glad that the MSM is beginning to take notice. By the way: what's worse than hard salary caps? Soft caps without salary floors.
By far the most common complaint I read regarding Selig's plan to add a second wild card is that it would "dilute the regular season." Personally, I'm suspicious of this argument, and I'll tell you why...
As you can see, baseball is the laggard again. However, unlike the graph above, this data shows that the NHL is just as mobile as the NFL, and the NBA isn't far behind.
One to rectify parity issues in baseball—without engineering a massive overhaul of the revenue sharing and luxury tax systems that would require the consent of a supermajority of the owners and the MLBPA—is simply to sweeten the pot: add a couple more playoff teams.
The point is that payroll effects are relatively weak--if at all significant--determinants of competitive balance. That said, those who criticize the level of competitive balance in baseball can draw support from these findings.
So there you have it--the MLB is clearly the most balanced American sports league [when looking solely at regular season data], and the NFL the least balanced, contrary to popular opinion. This tells us that there is something inherent in baseball that is generating a great deal of fairness for the teams that play, regardless of payroll disparity. This also raises the possibility that Baseball's "competitive balance problem" may be nothing more than a public relations problem (which isn't insignificant, it's just not a problem that can be fixed by modifying the distribution of payrolls). Readers: Before you bring up the issues of sample size and granularity regarding the use of Gini Coefficients, please read the whole piece. Continue reading at Rational Pastime...
As you can see, the MLB has consistently maintained a greater disparity in payrolls than the NBA and NFL since the start of the previous decade, and the NHL since 2005. Far more interesting are the trends of salary disparities in the non-baseball leagues. Before the 2004-05 lockout season, the NHL was maintaining a level of payroll inequality similar to that of the MLB. Pro basketball has also seen payroll inequality wax and wane through time, while the NFL's distribution of salaries remains rather stable. Read more at Rational Pastime...

Truth & Rumors > NCAA
Masoli would make Ole Miss, at least, a spoiler

08:25 AM ET 07.30 | Jeremiah Masoli's presence at Ole Miss, in football terms, could significantly impact the SEC West. The Ole Miss schedule is front loaded with four of the first five games at home and Tulane on the road. That should give Masoli a chance to learn the offense from starting quarterback Nathan Stanley and OC Dave Rader. Ole Miss then has an open date on Oct. 9 followed consecutive road games at Alabama and Arkansas. Then there is a home game with Auburn. Ole Miss is not going to win the SEC West but with Masoli, an All Pac-10 quarterback, the Rebels could beat somebody in the second half of the season that they were not supposed to beat and decide who DOES win the division.

I have nothing interesting to say about this article.
He'll be in jail before the season is over..............
He'll be in jail before the season is over..............
What exactly did this kid do while at Oregon? I heard something about stealing.
So he does not have to sit out a year or is he playing this fall?Does he get one of those magic Old Miss scholarships?
He is a post graduate student so all he has to do is enroll in a course not offered by Oregon and 'wa-la' is he eligible to play one more season.
He pleaded guilty to stealing the Apple laptops earlier this year.
His story now is he got shafted by the press (and he did to some extent) and he did not steal anything.
IIRC he's taking grad courses in a major not offered by Oregon which means he can transfer without a wait. Something like that.
This is what's wrong with the NCAA. Masoli is a thief period. Next thing you know maybe Maurice Clarett will rejoin the Buckeyes.
Funny you should mention that. You ARE aware that Mr. Clarett has been re-admitted to Ohio State, and is currently taking classes, aren't you?
Oh yeah. Basically he's Cam Newton Lite.
So Masoli didn't paint his name on the stolen laptop, then?
IIRC he's taking grad courses in a major not offered by Oregon which means he can transfer without a wait. Something like that.
Earlier this week the Mississippi admissions folks were saying he might not be accepted because the grad school application deadline was in April.
Apparently the Mississippi admissions folks don't know much about SEC football.

I'm sure they will get "educated" before fall practice starts.
Hummm hope they lock up their laptops, who steals a laptop anymore for money? Guess if you know the person and their password, if he is smart enough to get around a password to sell a computer on craiglist you would think he would be smart enough to figure out better ways to make money or not get caught. He tops that off by lying to the coach about it (many feel that is why he got tossed, instead of missing half the season, etc).
For old miss who does not run the spread and will use him in a wildcat style offense it is a little stupid to risk the integrity of your program to "try" and catch alabama which you will not.
Oregon is better off he played a horrible game in boise (why they lost) and is not a great passer and the spread to trully humm it needs the quarterback to be able to pull up and complete a few to keep good defenses honest.

He lied to the coach is what got him the boot not the pot (half of eugene smokes it) or the laptop pot induced theft.
Ole miss is trying to catch bama and this will not put them over the hump. He willl probably come off the bench and run a wild cat style offense since his throwing and passing reads are suspect. He pretty much lost oregon the boise game on poor passing decision, these performances are the main reason oregon was fine to let him go.
He is a good options runner and that may add a demension to Ole but not enogh to make enough noise to get in the top 5 hunt. What is the cost to your programs name taking bad seed cast offs in the media? Well heck just play up the "rebels" aspect and have fun be the raiders of college sports, why not after all no one really knows your program outside of the SEC and mississippi education needs all the help it can get!

He had 1 1/2 good seasons...might be a Jevan Snead????? Depends on how good OM Oline and backfield are.....of course, Nutt is saying they are great...we'll see
crappy **** post one window is spinning and still posts - oh well same thing said two different ways :P

<wink wink><nudge nudge>Where there is a really good player there is a way. Like I said yesterday, it's the SEC. If you aint cheatin' you aint winnin'.
Now, now. It isn't cheating for them to accept him-- it's their admissions standards, after all. The University of Mississippi is free to bend their rules as they see fit.
I just thought it was funny that they were acting like admissions deadlines might be a barrier to them getting a new starting QB.
I think being a Rebel is a perfect fit.
Didn't they change their mascot to the hooded rangers or something?

I said this locally on a public forum (gasp! I might be outted again about posting on 2 different sites!) - what are they goping to do? Have 10 plays they run all season? He doesn't have time to learn the playbook.

This is what's wrong with the NCAA. Masoli is a thief period. Next thing you know maybe Maurice Clarett will rejoin the Buckeyes.
Maurice Clarett isn't rejoining the football team. He's just going back to the university of OSU. Masoli is a thief, but there are a lot of athletes that get in trouble with the law. It happens in the NBA, NFL, MLB, everywhere. I do agree that the NCAA should be more disciplined with their athletes.

Food insecurity is affecting some eight million people in Niger, a United Nations (UN) spokesman said, reports China's Xinhua news agency. (..) The World Food Programme also said that some 29,000 cases of malnutrition have already been reported to local authorities since the start of the year, Nesirky said.
20 October 2009
Irregular and below-average rains in parts of northeastern Nigeria and eastern Niger have shortened the growing season for many farmers, sparking malnutrition and food insecurity concerns among aid groups and analysts. (..) "Rainfall needs to be both sufficient and well-timed in the Sahel to enable some crops the four months they require to mature," World Food Programme's West Africa assessment officer, Jean-Martin Bauer, told IRIN.
20 July 2009
A food distribution to help prevent malnutrition – known as a blanket feeding – has been launched in southern Niger's Zinder region, with UN World Food Program (WFP) and local NGO support. (..) WFP used Japanese government and UN Common Response Emergency Fund (CERF) funding to help finance the operation, said WFP's head of office in Zinder, Djimadoumngar Doumbaye.
25 June 2000
A United Nations survey shows a marked deterioration in the nutritional status of children in Niger. The World Food Program and UN Children's Fund, which carried out the annual nutritional assessment, are urgently appealing to the international community for help in combating rising malnutrition rates among Niger's children. The UN agencies find the situation of children in Niger is far worse now than it was 12 months ago when their last nutritional assessment was issued.

Patriotic Taco Salad Recipe
One year, my daughter decided to celebrate her July birthday with a patriotic theme. This colorful and refreshing salad was the main dish on the menu. The kids gobbled it up! Glenda Jarboe, Oroville, California
1 pound ground turkey or beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1-1/2 cups water
- 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
- 1 envelope taco seasoning
- 6 cups tortilla or corn chips
- 4 to 5 cups shredded lettuce
- 9 to 10 pitted large olives, sliced lengthwise
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the water, tomato paste and taco seasoning. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
- Place chips in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. dish. Spread beef mixture evenly over the top. Cover with lettuce. For each star, arrange five olive slices together in the upper left corner. To form stripes, add cheese and tomatoes in alternating rows. Serve immediately. Yield: 8 servings.
Editor's Note: If you wish to prepare this salad in advance, omit the layer of chips and serve them with the salad.

This was a great idea but I customized it for my cooking style. I added a can of black beans to add more protein and make it a meal. I also put chips on the side instead of the bottom layer. I used taco sauce and salsa instead of taco seasoning and tomato paste. Lastly, I used shredded mozzarella cheese for more red/white effect. It was a crowd favorite!

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Wiki Guide (Revision 351)
Hold up, buddy.
Release Date | Platforms |
JP December 13, 2002 US March 24, 2003 EU May 2, 2003 AU May 7, 2003 Wii U: Fall 2013 | GameCube Wii U |

Wii U Version
As officially confirmed during the January 23, 2013 Nintendo Direct broadcast, an HD remake of GameCube classic The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is coming to Wii U before Fall 2013. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata noted that the game was meant to help ease the wait for the next big Zelda game (which was also revealed today and has no release estimate in sight).
The game will give players the option to play entirely on the GamePad, and will feature both upgraded graphics and Miiverse integration. Nintendo also plans to tune up the original experience, though precisely what changes that might entail is a mystery at this point. On the visual side of things, the game definitely retains its core visual style, but with the addition of some noticeable visual flourishes (such as enhanced lighting to lend the cel-shading a more vibrant, dynamic look).
About This Wiki
Nintendo's Legend of Zelda franchise over the years has defined a genre, first revolutionizing the action-adventure and then evolving it with several critically acclaimed sequels.
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, in many ways eclipses its predecessors. Set in a huge overworld that takes more than seven minutes to traverse by boat (at full wind speed), it's not only easy to get lost, but it's near impossible to find all the secrets without a helping hand. IGN's Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker wiki strategy guide helps you along through the main quest with a detailed walkthrough with plenty of maps and images, it also gives you important tips on all the sidequests, hidden treasures and secrets.
The IGN Guide to Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker was originally written in 2003 by Peer Schneider. We converted it to an editable wiki in 2011.

Fantastic details of the Egrets feathers and in the right direction too! Great use of shading to show the details in white! Amazing! Great drawing! 5h!
Wow...this one is exceptionally well drawn. Very detailed and realistic. We have these birds in Texas. We call them Cow Birds.
Absolutely gorgeous, amazing work Sali. Every detail looks fantastic :) 5 ♥s and fav

The guys around the neighborhood have a weakly show at the local pet store. They are constantly asking for items where Lexi has to bend over, stretch up and even lean into the fish tank. Johnny thinks these guys are trying to take advantage of this innocent girl. Little does he know this little slut is doing it for the commission checks. Once he sends the guys away, Lexi makes him work it off in other ways.
