Post subject: Realizing your little world and it's characters.
And by "little world" I mean your very own magical land of talking horse things who troll each other with friendship letters.
What I'm getting at, is that do you have your own world inside your head filled with it's own lore and creatures that you have shown in some form?
Do you have a world filled with a captivating story and characters you've developed through thought, games, playoff of books, comics, etc?
And with this huge universe inside your mind, have you ever want it realized but can't seem to find a way how? Well I'm pretty much in the same boat. But, what is your world like?
For me, it is always changing and evolving as it slowly matures but overall it's in a third person view of one viking like man in a celtic world.
It's obviously fantasy. And it's main protagonist is this "beast" named Lorn Bearlord
Lorn Bearlord envisioned in the MMO Champions Online(I refuse to play this game now.)(http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/5643/screenshot2011060303163.jpg)
His personality and traits are of a soft gentle giant. Loving and caring, with hopes of peace for his people. For which he is strictly loyal and protective of. But when provolked or his companions threatened, he bursts forth into such a rage that no god would dare raise a hand to stop him!
He is a big guy, by height of 8-10 ft tall(I haven't settled on the height yet) Muscular stature similar to the Hulk.
In fact a very simplified way of explaining Lorn, would be The Hulk as a Viking Warrior.
He speaks in a dumb dialect of "Lorn smash puny man!" Sometimes borrowing lines from the Hulk himself. Such as "Lorn strongest barbarian there is around! Little man hurt Lorn! Little man leave Lorn alone!" But, he is by no means stupid. He thinks and fights with patience and understanding of his surroundings. No matter the level of his rage he will always think first and charge second.
Now his weapon of choice is a huge two handed warhammer. I'll have to describe and think of how it was made on some other day. But, otherwise it increases smashing efficiency by 100%
Although I could go on and on and on about his powers and back story and blah blah blah but I'm sure you got the picture.
But the WORLD in which he lives in, is a mixture of snowy mountains and thick green forests. Druids and nature like elements thrive in his area.
Of course there are the world's fair share of Desserts, ocean biomes, tundra, jungles, etc.
It's your classic medieval fantasy world filled with goblins and ghouls. Dragons are intelligent beings and war is waged over resources and lands nearly everyday. Familiar minerals of our world are also translated into mine. Except a special material I've yet to design yet ><
With all this dump of BLEGH. I've never been able to realized my World and Lorn. Because I've no way to write it down. Especially in the form of drawings.
I've been tempted on ordering commisions for Lorn. But, I've been too scared that it might turn up wrong or the artist couldn't fulfill my needs(I'm sure it's hard to get it just right. Since you can't see what they have envisioned.) That or I might insult him or her saying they didn't live up to my expectations and I don't like that drawing. I REALLY don't want it to come down to that. So I've put it off.
I'd draw Lorn myself if I even knew how to get it right. I've tried but his body proportions are always completely thrown off and it looks so bland that it isn't even worth it. It's starting to become a dream to have him drawn.
And with my world. I've attempted cartography myself for the world. And the issue with the lack of know how restrict me from going down that path as well.
So, do you have a world and/or character you haven't or have realized in a shape or form?

First, I think this thread would probably fit better in the Writing Forum, considering its topic.
Second, an answer to your question. I find that my creativity mostly expresses itself in the creation of worlds, or world-building. Stories are just the tip of the iceberg, for me; I have the most fun playing "What if?" with my mind.
In this light, I've come up with dozens of worlds, each with its own set of characters and rules of nature. Some of them are sci-fi and have aliens, some are alternates of what we would call the 'real world', and some are fantasy, with varying degrees of magical content.
The one that is uppermost at the moment involves political intrigue in a technically magical universe, though the magic is actually rather peripheral to the story and the people involved. I mean, there ARE mages, people who practice magic, but they're rare. Most people in this world think of magic as a fable or a distantly historical fact. This world isn't really fleshed out, since the story itself isn't very fleshed out, and I don't know what the geography or climate is like, other than that there's at least one large tract of temperate forest, a great deal of plains-land, and an ocean coast somewhere. For more information, please see
this story
The other recent world I've built sort of evolved out of a series of stories I wrote a while ago. It's based on Scottish and Celtic mythical beings and stories, like selkies, so it's a very coastal society, windswept. There's a large town (uncreatively called Port Town), and smaller fishing villages scattered up and down the coast. Jewel tones abound, people are generally happy. Again, techincally magical, but the people themselves don't really have or deal with magic. The most magical thing about the place are its living legends. For more information, please see

SO... In final answer to your question, I wouldn't really worry to much about 'realizing' your world through writing or drawing. Ask "What if?" questions. What would people do if...? Where would people live if...? What's the political climate? Who are the most important people? What do they care about? If you have a character, what does he do when he's 'off-screen'? THAT'S how you build worlds, by looking beyond your stories.

I debated on putting it there, but since I'm not trying or intended this thread to be used for story telling. I decided to plop it here than there. It's more or less to describe our imagination vaguely than actually flesh it out. Which would eventually fall into the random category.
And thank you for the welcome
I have no plans on contributing to the Writing Forum sadly. I sorta lost interest in writing full blown stories years ago. I simply like to tell them through voice now.

It's expected that what an artist comes up with at first isn't going to be what you were thinking of. Generally - though how individuals operate varies - an artist will commit to a concept sketch based on your description, and a certain number of revisions of that sketch for a price. And then, if you both decide to go ahead together after you've seen the sketch and any revisions, they'll produce a finished piece (based on the sketch) at a different price.
Like someone might charge $200, by way of example, for a concept sketch and two revisions; and then another $500 for a finished painting based on that sketch. (Plucking figures out of thin air. I mean I don't know what you'd be charged, so don't take it as a basis for aught.)
Artists also like to charge for rights management, if you're talking about something you intend to publish. Them selling you a sketch isn't them selling you permission to reproduce that sketch - for example.

Dont worry about it, almost everyone goes through that. ^_^
In my experience, a large part of learning to draw figures is just doing loads of stuff like this:
(Oldest drawing of a person I did that I can find, off hand, - from one of my old school notebooks. Took about a minute IIRC.)
And then once you've got that framework you can add detail to it as things go on.
Some peoplell will look at that and go -- "Oh the lines are messy and you can see where the head was the wrong size and...." And they're not wrong. But what they're complaining about is much more easily fixed than if I'd drawn it in detail and then discovered that the perfect arm I'd spent ages working on was in the wrong place or something ^^;

I have quite a few worlds bouncing around in my head. I took a tally once and it was somewhere in the 30's. ^^;
However, I've only ever written out/fleshed out one of the worlds. That universe actually involves lots of different worlds and world-hopping. It's a fun world to play around with, but pretty lacking in originality and plot. It was the first one I ever thought up though, so it holds a certain amount of nostalgia, too. I like the cast for that universe too . . . hmm . . .
It would take me a really long time to explain it, though--I wrote out over 200 pages and I still didn't get it all. ^^;;

Our students benefit from learning that combines theoretical discussions in the classroom with real world experience. Hands-on professional growth opportunities ensure students are prepared to succeed. Graduates' employment rate is over 90% for the last five years.
Internships and field placements are the hallmark of a Lesley education. They begin as early as freshman year for undergraduates, helping to affirm (or sometimes reconsider) career aspirations. Field-based learning is then integrated into the classroom, where students share and reflect on their experiences with peers and faculty, who provide guidance and insight throughout the process. As students build knowledge and skills, their field experiences intensify, leading to more responsibility and professional development. While internship and field placement opportunities vary by chosen major or program, most students will graduate with over 300 hours of real-world learning, building both their resumes, and professional contacts.
*Based on completed surveys of graduates of all schools and programs, excluding Threshold students.
"At Lesley University, the field placement office found a classroom that matched my professional interests. After completing my early field experience and 14-week practicum at the Peabody School in Cambridge, I accepted a full-time teaching position there the next fall."
- Dan Tobin, M.Ed., 2011

Actually the best use I've seen so far of magnets is Pacifist managed to create a level that relied on using the magnets to "cling" to a moving platform and ride on it towards the goal. The platform didn't have magnets in/attached to it, they just swung around and then pulled towards eachother.

WOODLAND, Calif. — With close proximity to the University of California-Davis, an ample work force and mild weather, Woodland is quickly become an international center for vegetable seed breeding.
Monsanto cut the ribbon on its $31-million, 90,000-square-foot addition Aug. 15, and Syngenta plants to complete an $11 million-$12 million expansion before the end of 2014.
Monsanto's site dedication came during its annual week of field tours, where seed dealers, shippers, retailers and others were invited to look at recent variety releases as well as those in the pipeline.
This year, the St. Louis-based company also invited about 20 dietitians and nutritionists to learn about new varieties and how they relate to healthful diets.
Monsanto has designated the Woodland facility its global headquarters for vegetable seed research.
The region was chosen because of its mild climate, its location in the heart of California vegetable production and proximity to the University of California-Davis, said Marlin Edwards, global vegetable technology lead.
"It's just a great place to operate," he said.
The expansion, which began about 17 months ago, increases the space for plant breeding support as well as plant seed health, which includes plant pathology, Edwards said.
Seeds and plant material can be sent in from around the world and tested for different diseases or physiological problems that may affect them.
The new facility has laboratories with tables, benches and other components that can be easily reconfigured.
The favorable climate and UC-Davis factored into Syngenta's decision to expand, said Scott Tefteller, coastal commercial unit head based in Boise.
"You're in good geography in terms of the vegetable arena, the access to UC-Davis and the partnerships you can create and also the acquisition of talent here," he said.
The facility in 2012 was named a Syngenta research and development center of excellence and a global center for cucurbit breeding.
In addition to vegetables and a few field crops, Syngenta also has planted almonds and grapes as part of the expansion.
Those were crops to which the company lost experimental access when it sold its research and development facility in Visalia, Calif., several years ago, Tefteller said.
Seed breeding gets social
As the nutritionists toured Monsanto's facility, they were able to talk to breeders and see and taste many of the new varieties. At each stop, many whipped out smart phones or tablets, snapped pictures and tweeted or posted on Facebook pictures of what they saw and tasted.
Leah McGrath, a corporate dietitian for Asheville, N.C.-based Ingles Markets Inc., said she uses social media, including Facebook and Twitter, extensively to interact with consumers about produce and nutrition. She also does a weekly radio program, appears regularly on local TV. and works with local growers on in-store promotions.
McGrath said she didn't realize all of the behind-the-scenes work that went into producing high-quality fresh vegetables and vegetable seeds, and that was something she wanted to convey to her followers.
"I really think all of the different varieties are fascinating," she said. "We talk about tomatoes, but there are all of these functional components of tomatoes. This is a very different growing climate than what we have in North Carolina. This is a dry climate, and it's really interesting to see what the crop looks like compared to what we see when I visit farmers in North Carolina."
Sylvia Melendez-Klinger, owner of hispanic food communications inc., Chicago, tweeted a picture of a hybrid tomato based on an heirloom variety, saying, "Tie dye tomatoes — yummy!!"
Melendez-Klinger said many consumers are far removed from cooking at home and don't know the nutritional components of what they consume.
"The more food groups you have on the plate, the better," she said. "The more colors is even easier. That's what I tell children. And then you don't have worry about vitamins C, A, D or whatever, either."
Leslie Bonci, director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburg Medical Center Center for Sports Medicine and Nutrition, works frequently with student athletes. She said she believed the current recommendations of consuming five to seven servings of fruits and vegetables daily may be too daunting for most consumers.
"The food phobia people have about produce isn't getting people healthy," she said. "It's driving people toward more processed food."
As dietitians, they advocate variety in a diet. Having more varieties of fruits and vegetables available to consumers that actually taste good could help reverse the trend of less per-capita produce consumption, Bonci said.

According to Delta State Police Chief Lynn Buford on Friday, his family was to pick him up in Demopolis, Ala., after he had run out of gas on his way back from Miami, where he gone with an unnamed girl.
Buford said Nance did not inform his parents of his plans and had cleaned out his dorm room leaving only a printer, his dorm room key and the key to his parent's house.
Buford explained Nance's brother did receive a text message from Nance early in the week but it did not tell of his plans and his phone was believed to be turned off afterwards, because no calls would go through.
Buford said Nance's parents reported him missing to the Greenwood Police Department and the Delta State Police Department because this was unfamiliar behavior for Nance.
The Delta State Police Department notified all of the Mississippi agencies to be on the look out for Nance and his black PT-Cruiser and reports of Nance filtered through social media.
National agencies had not yet been notified when his family received a phone call from Nance Friday afternoon informing them of what was going on.
It is unknown whether or not Nance will return to Delta State to finish out the semester but Buford has informed the family that Delta State would work with them and that he "hopes he comes back."

Drought Response Park Tree Care
Sat, 03/29/2014 - 9:00am - 12:00pm
TreePeople's Alex Villalta and Thierry Rivard need you to roll up your sleeves and get to work. We'll be deep watering and mulching the trees in this urban park. Because of their ability to lessen evaporation and to harvest rainwater, LA's tree canopy is an important line of defense in decreasing the impact of drought. Trees in parks provide us with immense benefits – to lose them would be a huge blow to the health and well-being of our communities. In response to this situation, TreePeople is mobilizing volunteer teams to ensure that these trees get the water they need to survive, and we need you to make this team complete.

Danby Silhouette Select Series 30 Inch Wall Mount Chimney Range Hood - Stainless Steel Model:DWRH301SSST
Danby Silhouette Select Series 30 Inch Wall Mount Chimney Range Hood - Stainless Steel
Quickly remove unpleasant and sometimes unhealthy smoke and odors in your kitchen with the Danby Silhouette Select Series 30 Inch Wall Mount Chimney Range Hood (DWRH301SSST). This eye-catching range hood comes in a luxurious stainless steel finish and has a matching two-piece flue. The 30-inch width is an ideal option as it's conveniently-sized to fit in almost any kitchen space, yet large enough to provide ample coverage for your range. Equipped with two (2) powerful centrifugal fans and two (2) halogen lamps, this chimney style range hood is ready to provide substantial venting and lighting for your kitchen.
Each fan has three (3) speeds and is capable of exhausting up to 500 cubic feet or air per minute. Adjust the speed using the back-lit push-button controls mounted front and center, and view the operation status on the high-tech blue LED display. The built-in heat sensor measures the current temperature and automatically turns the fans on to the highest setting when the temperature on the range reaches 158° F (70° C). When engaged, the auto-off function automatically turns the fans off after 5 minutes, getting the job done quickly while giving you one less thing to worry about. The automatic filter reminder notifies you after 100 hours of fan usage that it's time to wash the durable stainless steel mesh filters -- which just so happen to be dishwasher-safe for easy maintenance.
Heat Sensor:
The hood senses when a temperature of 158° F (70° C) is reached, then automatically turns the fans on to the highest setting -- if already on, it adjusts to the highestAuto-Off Function:

oil leak 2005 forester
I've a 2005 subaru forester with 107k miles. It has suddenly started burning oil. It needed a quart of oil after only 300 miles. Is it a head gasket problem? If yes, how much would it cost to fix it? At 102K miles I had timing belts replaced by the dealer. Is there any connection to that and oil leak? I've owned the car for 7 years and never had to add oil between oil changes before.
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,738Are you observing the oil to leak to the outside of the engine? If so, where are the outward signs visible? It's highly unlikely that it is related to the timing belt replacement, but the most common locations of severe leaks are the valve cover gaskets (on each end of the engine: L/R), camshaft seals, and crankshaft seal. If it is any of the seals, you'll see the leak on the bottom/front of the engine (near the middle for the crankshaft, and on either side for the camshafts).2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,738
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,738Right; that's what I meant to state. Once you suspect there's a problem and are monitoring it specifically expecting to see the behavior you first observed, you will know for sure if you see the same behavior again. The first time it crops up, who knows? Maybe the level wasn't as high as you remember it being originally, or something was different about the circumstances under which you checked the oil, etc.
Having a science background, I can't help but look for repeatable results. :blush:2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon

I have Sibley's Guide To Trees, but find it remarkably unfriendly to use in the field. While I like the watercolors for details, I think I prefer photos, especially when it comes to things like bark identification. Are there really great region specific guides for the Mid-Atlantic? New England? Mid-West? Etc? I wouldn't mind picking up a few smaller, pocketable guides, especially if they were really easy to navigate. I know I should just suck it up and memorize the 100 most common species, but there are times when a succinct guide is all I want. Any recommendations? asked Oct 04 '11 at 22:07 oliver |
I have a shelf of tree books. The guide I grab when I go out to look at trees is Peterson's A Field Guide to Eastern Trees; for me it's the best initial identification guide. This book works well for most of the US; you may want something more specialized if you're in the far west or southeast. If you spend time in cities, I also recommend The Urban Tree Book by Arthur Plotnik. linkanswered Oct 08 '11 at 13:59 cooltooler |
If you are in the area covered (Northeast USA), LeafSnap http://leafsnap.com/ is an interesting approach. linkanswered Oct 16 '11 at 17:29 |
If you are in the Northeast, I must suggest Bark by Michael Wojtech (www.knowyourtrees.com/). This book is comprehensive and very well laid-out, focusing on identification primarily through the properties of the tree's bark. I like that it gives you the skills to identify trees year-round, which is particularly useful in the winter when many trees are leafless. linkanswered Oct 16 '11 at 15:55 |
There are several good ones. They are reviewed here: http://forestry.about.com/od/aboutforestry/tp/id_tree_guides.htm Thanks linkanswered Oct 17 '11 at 06:43 philntex |
By far I have found the National Audubon Society Field Guides to be the definative and easiest to use when you are "out there" or have photographed a cool tree for later identification... you can identify trees by Bark, Leaf, and, sometimes Flower. The Field guides have waterproof covers and water resistant pages and last for years... there are different Guides for Eastern and Western regions. Here are the Amazon.com links for each. Eastern: http://goo.gl/QYaNr and the Western: http://goo.gl/snG5r - they (Audubon Society) print wonderful Wildflower books as well. Happy identifying! Jay Rephan - in Nashville, TN linkanswered Oct 18 '11 at 13:37 |
I purchased the Andriod application Landscaper's Companion for my Android phone. I often use Landscaper's Companion to research a plat or tree I see, mostly because it is with me and available, where often books and guides are not. I've also used the online internt guides through my phone to help identify items of interest. linkanswered Oct 20 '11 at 10:32 |

This rug is great. It is soft and has very rich colors. I selected it because it is made of olefin which many outdoor rugs are made of and I wanted this to be able to hold up to a lot of traffic. I was supprised at how soft it is. I would definitely recommend it.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The rug is beautiful. I wish it were a little thicker, but I really like it. The service was great also. I would purchase from you again. Thanks.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.It's a good rug for the price - shopped around awhile and Rugs USA was HALF the price of other places for the exact same carpet. My only problem: packaging and shipping. The carpet was packed in plastic which was abraded during shipping, opening a hole and soiling the carpet - it arrived that way. Also, the phone number I sent was communicated incorrectly to UPS, and the door address was wrong (thankfully I was waiting out front when the UPS guy arrived otherwise more delays).
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.

Jeff Samardzija, Cubs win on Opening Day over Pirates 3-1
BY GORDON WITTENMYER firstname.lastname@example.com April 1, 2013 3:45PM

Updated: April 2, 2013 1:41AM
PITTSBURGH – It was only a start, but it was a least a first step for Jeff Samardzija in proving this year what he didn't get a chance to prove last year.
The Cubs' 3-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates also showed how far the field staff's patience level with Carlos Marmol has eroded as the closer enters the final year of his contract.
And the ascension many expected from Kyuji Fujikawa when he was signed as a free agent over the winter came barely eight innings into the new season.
Fujikawa, a former All-Star closer in Japan, got the final out in the ninth inning with two on to earn the Cubs' first save of the year.
Samardzija pitched eight scoreless innings of two-hit ball for the victory – but not before Marmol put three of the first four batters he faced on base and was yanked in favor of left-hander James Russell.
Russell retired his batter, and Fujikawa needed just two pitches to finish it off.
Until the ninth-inning drama, Samardzija put on a pitching clinic at PNC Park – the same place the club shut him down last year because a predetermined innings limit.
Samardzija wasn't happy then and said Saturday one of the biggest reasons was because he felt strong enough to get to 200 innings in his first full season as a starter.
Eight down, 192 to go this time around.
Samardzija walked the first batter he faced, and fill-in second baseman Brent Lillibridge muffed a grounder by the ensuing batter to put men at first and second with none out.
But Samardzija then retired 17 of the next 18 he faced and 24 of the final 26 he faced.
He struck out nine and didn't walk a batter after the first guy in the 110-pitch performance.
Anthony Rizzo gave the Cubs the lead before Samardzija ever took the mound – crushing the first pitch he saw of the season for a two-run homer that cleared the bleachers in right-center and, presumably, bounced into the Alleghany River.
Nate Schierholtz, who reached base four times, was hit by a pitch leading off the sixth and scored on Welington Castillo's ensuing double for a 3-0 lead.

The ISA World Juniors Surfing Championship has been under way this past week in Nicaragua and Rusty team rider Kevin Schulz has been slugging it out and posting up scores against some of the top junior surfers on the planet. Schulz is a part of the USA surf team and was added to the world junior championship contest at Jiquiliste Beach in Nicaragua last month.
Kevin hails from San Clemente Ca where he would be graduating this week with his class, but elected to follow his dreams and join the US surf team for the contest to try and help secure a victory with the rest of the team. Kevin made it through the first 2 rounds of qualifying heats before getting edged out in round 3. He pushed through his rep heat taking first place with a 12.67, and is up in heat #3 the rep 5 heat against fellow American Parker Coffin, Elliot Ivarra from France, and Hiroto Arai from Japan.

A short note to say a BIG thanks for an amazing week. On vacations and things like that, there's always something that doesn't go quite right. Even if it's a tiny thing. Well, I can't say this about the fantasy camp week. You ran the perfect camp. Right down to the tiny things. All the big things were amazing, and all the details just as strong. It was truly the best money I've ever spent on myself. So thank you. Please share this with anyone. It was truly a special week.
- Todd Spencer
I just wanted to send a formal thank you to you both for an amazing camp this year. I can't describe how memorable the experience was for me. You have no idea how much Rick, I and our friends think of camp throughout the year. It's not uncommon for us to just pull out a random memory from camp and it never fails to bring a smile. I do hope that you both have some time to enjoy the week as well, even with all the work you do to keep us all happy. All the pros were fantastic, as always. I can't count how many wonderful memories I have from everyone. Now I get to tell folks that Dave Henderson was teaching me all about base-running, and I got so much wonderful advice from Al Bumbry, Rich Gedman, Oil Can and more.... Gosh. Again, thank you again for everything. Hopefully, Rick and I will be seeing you next year, or at least at the reunion game.
- Marge Shinkle (one of two women at camp this year)
The 2011 Red Sox fantasy camp was everything I hoped for, and more. The coaches were friendly and accommodating, the facilities and organization of the camp were first class, the games were all competitive and fun, and I had a terrific bunch of guys on my team. This camp was a present for my 50th birthday present, and it was far and away the best present I've ever received.

When we bought our house this bath had ugly wallpaper. It also had a small pedestal sink with no storage. So we remodeled this bath by removing the wallpaper and painting but it still was not enough flair. We added a new vessel sink with an Asian type sink vanity. We also added a black toilet. But the bath still needed something. We decided to paint an mural. I knew my husband was a good artist but he knocked it out of the park with this mural. This was the first time he ever painted one and we love it.

- What a great garage! Lots of room, awesome cars, neat signs, and silhouettes of interesting people at times. Would be cool to have something posted about each of the cars stored in your garage. You could take them down off the wall and take them to car shows with you. Car stats and histories always are fun to look at. Whatever you do, please don't fire the model that poses with all the cars in the pics shown in your albums!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jacque13 Too expensive for the taste. Couldn't but items separately.
The customer service was horrible. The site online could not help me understand which things to get for my guests. When I got on the phone it only got worse. The person misled me, didn't have good understanding of the products, got my order wrong. This experience has me looking at Kuerig Brewers because there is no good customer service for Tassimo products and I spent a ridiculous amount of time and money and still didn't get what I wanted. Very dissatisfied!!

The Eagles, at 11-2, will be looking to advance to the north half title game for a fourth consecutive year as they travel to Bruce to play the Bruce High School Trojans. West Bolivar is currently riding an eight game winning streak.
West Bolivar head coach Henry Johnson said he is pleased with the intensity of the team.
"We're a lot more focused," Johnson said. "This is the time of the year where you've got to be focused, and we're a lot more focused that what we were at the early part of the season. You can see it in their eyes. They are ready to go."
The Trojans, at 10-3, will try to advance to the north half title game for the first time since 1999. Bruce has made the state playoffs 18 times, all since 1990, with a state championship (1996).
Both teams have contrasting styles on offense.
The Eagles rely heavily on a strong running game with the occasional pass mixed in the playbook. West Bolivar got a strong performance last week from senior running back Kailo Moore as he rushed for 278 yards with two touchdowns on just 15 carries in the Eagles' 37-15 second round win over the Ackerman Indians. For the year, he has rushed for 1,099 yards with 16 touchdowns on just 104 carries. Senior running back Trevoris Hampton (101 carries, 795 yards, 18 TDs) and senior fullback William Lloyd (100 carries, 611 yards, 8 TDs) have also helped anchor the ground game. The Eagles have also done a good job passing the ball as Kylan Johnson (73-of-136, 1,340 yards with 16 TDs, 2 Ints) has had a good year. Johnson's primary receiving target has been Dennis Pendleton (19 catches, 553 yards, 6 TDs). West Bolivar has scored an average of 36.9 points per game this year.
Bruce does run the football, but relies on a strong passing game. Senior quarterback Davis Brown has had a monster year by completing 146-of-232 passes for 2,623 yards with 35 touchdowns and just nine interceptions. His main targets at wide receiver have been Shaq Bush (51 catches, 881 yards, 10 TDs) and Rashad Turner (32 catches, 676 yards, 10 TDs). Bruce has scored an average of 38.4 points per game this year.
Johnson said the defense can't give Brown time to throw the ball.
"You've got to pressure the quarterback, and we can't give up the big plays," Johnson said. "That's the only way we can do it."
On defense, both teams look strong on that side of the football. West Bolivar has given up 14.4 points per game, while Bruce has yielded 9.9 points a contest.
Senior linebacker William Lloyd has led the Eagles with 128 tackles, followed by senior linebacker Kawonski Williams (101 tackles, 1 Int.) and junior defensive lineman Ladarius Tucker (80 tackles, 5 sacks).
Senior linebacker Jonathan Bobo has led the Trojans' defense with 130 tackles, three sacks and two interceptions, followed by senior defensive end Deshawn Tillman (114 tackles, 2 sacks).
The winner of the West Bolivar-Bruce game will play the winner of the Calhoun City-Eupora game next week for the 2A North Half Title.

Health Information
Diabetes: Counting Carbs if You Use Insulin
Carbohydrate counting is an important skill to help you maintain tight control of your blood sugar (glucose) level when you have diabetes. It gives you the flexibility to eat what you want and increases your sense of control and confidence in managing your diabetes.
- Carbohydrate counting helps you maintain your blood sugar at your target level.
- Carbohydrate counting allows you to adjust the amount of insulin you take based on how many grams of carbohydrate you eat at a meal or snack. The formula used to determine the amount of insulin you need is called the insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio.
- The insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio differs from one person to another. You and your doctor will calculate your ratio by recording the food you eat and testing your blood sugar level after meals.
How To
To count carbohydrate grams at a meal, you need to know how much carbohydrate is in each type of food, whether it is a slice of bread, a bowl of lettuce, or a tablespoon of salad dressing. Fortunately, nearly all packaged foods have labels that tell you how much total carbohydrate is in a single serving. And you can get carbohydrate guides from diabetes educators and the American Diabetes Association.
To calculate the carbohydrate in food that is not packaged, you will need to know standard portions of carbohydrate foods. Each serving size or standard portion contains about 15 grams of carbohydrate.
When you know the number of grams of carbohydrate in a meal, you can figure out how many units of insulin to take based on your personal insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio.
For example: Your doctor may recommend that you take 1 unit of rapid-acting insulin for every 10 to 15 grams of carbohydrate you eat. So if your meal contains 50 grams of carbohydrate, and if your doctor has decided you need 1 unit of insulin for every 10 grams of carbohydrate, you would need 5 units of insulin to keep your post-meal blood sugar from rising above your target level.
Your insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio may change over time. In some people it will differ from one meal to another. You might take 1 unit of insulin for every 10 grams of carbohydrate for lunch but take 1 unit for every 15 grams at dinner. Keep the following in mind when counting carbohydrate grams:
- Portion control is important. If a package says it contains two servings and you eat the whole package, you need to double the number of grams of carbohydrate listed for one serving.
- Protein, fat, and fiber do not raise blood sugar very much. If you eat a lot of these nutrients in a meal, carbohydrate will convert to glucose more slowly than it would with a meal containing a small amount of protein, fat, and fiber.
- Advanced carb counting takes into account the amount of fiber or sugar alcohols in a food. For example, if a food has 5 or more grams of fiber per serving, you can deduct half the amount of fiber from the total number of carbohydrate grams. A food that has 30 grams of carbohydrate and 8 grams of fiber would be counted as 26 grams of carbohydrate. If you use a rapid-acting insulin, you may want to consider sugar alcohols if there are more than 5 grams of sugar alcohol in the food. Divide the number of sugar alcohols in half and subtract that number from the total carbohydrate count.
- Exercise affects blood sugar, allowing you to use less insulin than you would if you were not exercising. Keep in mind that timing makes a difference. If you exercise within 1 hour of a meal, your body may need less insulin for that meal than it would if you exercised 3 hours after the meal.
By keeping track of what you eat and testing your blood sugar after meals and exercise, you can learn to estimate the effect of protein, fat, fiber, and exercise on the amount of insulin you need.
Count carbohydrate grams and eat a balanced diet by:
- Talking with a registered dietitian. He or she can help you plan the amount of carbohydrate to include in each meal and snack.
- Measuring your food portions. You won't always have to measure your food, but it may be helpful when you are first learning what makes up a standard portion.
- Counting either grams or servings of carbohydrate. A registered dietitian will help you plan how much carbohydrate, including sweets, to have in each of your meals and snacks.
- Eating standard portions of foods that contain protein. Foods that contain protein (such as meat and cheese) are an important part of a balanced diet.
- Limiting saturated fats. A balanced diet includes a limited amount of healthy fat. Talk with a registered dietitian about how much fat you need in your diet.
Other helpful suggestions
- Read food labels for carbohydrate content. Be careful to consider the serving size on the package.
- Check your blood sugar level. If you do this before and 1 hour after a meal, you will be able to see how the food you eat affects your blood sugar level.
- Record what you eat and your blood sugar results in a food record (What is a PDF document?) . At each regular visit with your registered dietitian or certified diabetes educator, or whenever you think your meal plan needs adjusting, you can review your food record.
- Get more help. The American Diabetes Association offers booklets to help people learn how to count carbohydrate grams in their diet, to measure and weigh food, and to read food labels. But you will still need to talk with a registered dietitian to establish a plan that fits your needs.

jzaid84 Posts: 27I am shopping around for a lease on a BMW 528i. I prefer the M-Sport, the Tech, and the Premium Packages.
I need a minimum of 18K miles a year, with a preferred of 20K miles a year.
Term length would be 36 months.
What would be the residual on that? What about the money factor?
I am wanting $0 due at signing; all fees built into price.
I am in Texas, so taxes here are 6.25%
What would be a good amount, other than incentives, to argue for? Right now on leases, I would get $2250 in incentives. How much can I get the dealer to discount on top of that?
What fees should I look for that are "miscellaneous" and unnecessary?
Thanks in advance for all replies! -

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi tjk1938. Doc fees are pretty typical charges at dealers. I've heard that Florida is particularly bad as far as doc fees go. Having said that, just because they're common doesn't mean that we have to like them. They're really nothing more than a way for dealers to pad deals. When I come across a dealer that charges a doc fee, I look at it as part of the selling price of the vehicle. So, for example, if dealer A is charging $40,000 for a car plus a $599 doc fee, it's actually a worse deal than dealer B who is charging $40,200 plus a $100 doc fee. Look at the deal as a whole and it makes things more simple.

ewall45 Posts: 1Hi Car_man - please help
I am interested in leasing a 535i Xdrive as well but I need some guidance as I am getting jerked around by the dealer.
Dealer (New Country BMW In CT) came back with the following....
2013 535ixdrive with 4500mi - managers car
Cold weather, Premium pkg, Technology pkg.
36mo 15k miles
$2500 down - $725 per month
They claim to be at invoice which is a joke compared to what I am seeing on this board....
Thoughts? -
zoombie99 Posts: 124Not a good deal. You should be able to get a new one for 500 over invoice. You need to find out the MSRP and calculate the dealer cost. Also what is the money factor? Do you know about MSDs? I would also try other dealers. It may pay to call dealers in NY or NJ. I got my BMW at BMW of Tenafly and they beat about 6 other dealers.
jasonmdbmw Posts: 117
smehta76 Posts: 2We are leasing the car...He is saying the
Sale price: $66,000 (includes rebate..he is saying its 400 over invoice)
Residual value: $43,900
Down payment is: $1600 (includes 1st month)
$779/month for 35 months, 12K year
It's in Hartford, CT
What should the lease payment be close too?? -
zoombie99 Posts: 124I am just saying it should be $400 over invoice before the rebate. Adding the 1,500 makes you $1,900 over invoice (not to mention the & $750.00 loyality credit) which would put you 2,650.00 over invoice if applicable. If he/she is selling you a car $400.00 over his invoice, it should be BEFORE the application of any credits. Then you reduce the sales price to $64,500.00 or $63,750.00 which will lower your payments!
You have to get the price down and confirm the money factor. Check out bmwconfig.com to check out the invoice. -

If you were to lease with only 10,000 miles per year, this car's residual values would be 1% higher.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi tspark. Your assumption about the money factor is correct. BMW FS' buy rate for most models is .00129 this month. It's pretty silly that they changed it to that from .00130. How much of a difference can .00001 really make .
BMW FS' April residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 528xi Sedan with 15,000 miles per year is 61%.

2 - Re-boot with the new external attached.
3 - Perform a "graceful power down" with the new external
4 - Execute the copying using the gparted software, etc.
I am just a bit confused with the graceful power down steps needed prior to copying.
You are correct. Both drives must experience the "graceful power down" before you proceed.

how've you been?
I've been fine. School is keeping me busy as always. The semester is almost ending though.
Doing anything fun for Thanksgiving?
And Paul
Probably just eat with the family Kien.
hi Seth, love the blank videos
No problem jason, it's Americano's by Holly Johnson.
How you doing ?
My world is good now that YOU are back Seth.
How are you doing??
Okay dokay, been in most of the day as it's been bucketting it down all day.
I've been sleeping on and off, still sick, but it's bareable now.
Oh, and I finished QasF.
English or US version?
US version.
Good, now you can track down the far better UK original.
Never seen the US one. Didn't it go on and on and on?
5 seasons, I look forward to the UK one, you guys overseas have some great stuff.
Overseas? Depends on your perspective.
I liked both but the UK version was much more quick to the point and a lot less drama whereas the US one took on a ton of different issues and put them on full display... such as living with HIV and the drug and alcohol addiction that is rampant in the gay community.....
I must not be a perv because I thought rain.
Paul, I imagine you constantly sipping tea in the shade.
The English version was only one and a half series.

Oh I thought rain when I read the word fully but at first glance I thought it was something else..... sigh... maybe just horny....
The English version was really just about the budding relation ship and how it affects the two of them, one a well endowed man hwore and the other a blossoming virgin....
The US version follows these peoples lives and into marriage and such....
One and a half? I can finish that up quickly then.
The US goes on forever.
Though i loved Hunter in it.
I liked Brian and Michael, wish they had been together, didn't like any of Michael's guys.
Anyway, the English version must be 10 years old by now. More maybe.
That's why it's accurate.
I didn't like any of the main ones on the American version.
They ended up together in the UK version.
No he gave Nathan up and went off with Vince.
Yep I just looked it up.... Nathan becomes quite the rumored lover as I am sure the Bendy is..... on his canal street...
So Jason you wanna be Stuart and Vince like as the Seth and Jason relation goes.....
If I must.
You need beaten off.
Another boneless day for Jason.
^ Mine too.
Back soon, have to get something to eat.
Sorry we can't make your film Jay, Seth don't like me. It's quite hard to take but I'll manage somehow.
Evening gents
Hey bort and jason and all.
Hi Bendy
Hi CupidBoy
