I havn't been reading any book lately. The most recent book that I've read is Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick, the same author that wrote my favorite book, Hugo Cabret. I really enjoyed both of these books. The author uses great hooks.

Well I don't really ever read books on my free time, but in enrichment I started reading The Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling. It's a pretty good book, but I'm only on page nineteen. I really like how the author doesn't take forever getting the story started, she just gets to the point. Otherwise I haven't read zany other books lately

Ok, so I have started reading a new book from Patrick Carmen and it is called Trackers. It is the coolest book I have read so far. The book is pretty much like an interview with the main character and some person names H.Ganz. The story is about how the main character, Adam Henderson, is being interviewed because I guess he was suspected for committing a crime of some sort, they were a little shaky on the details. Anyway, he's telling this H.Ganz guy about how he formed a group called Trackers and how he created all these gadgets and stuff. The book is very cool because it lets you watch videos that go along with the book. The book gives you passwords and you type them in and get to see the videos, get new locations, play the game called Glyph master and see his gadgets. It's awesome! The website is [LINK] and even if I give you the first password, I won't be giving much away because it's not giving what happens in the book away. However, I advise you to read this book and watch the videos. span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Type that in and watch the sample of what the Trackers do. I just had to share this because its awesome news and I can't help it.

Well, as I said before, I am reading a book called Lockdown by Alexander Gordon-Smith. It's a great book because of the suspense that lies on every page. I really am enjoying this book. It is an enjoyable book because of how exciting it is. The author makes every page enjoyable and makes boring activities in the book fun because of his use of vocabulary. The whole idea of a boy living in an underground institution is a cool concept to me. That combined with the author's unique style of writing makes this one of the best pieces of literature I have ever read.

Recently, I read In a Heartbeat by Loretta Ellsworth. Now, I am re-reading a series called The Bee-Theres by Lael Littke. I enjoy the book I am reading now, because it is very realistic and has some catching moments. Although, there aren't any manufctured anymore and it is old fashioned in some ways I really enjoy it. In this series there is a mix of problem and mystery and the plot is not "mushy" which makes it even better!

The book that I am reading now is called Bunheads by Sophie Flack. I really like this book a lot because it is about ballet and I LOVE ballet!!! Another reason I like it is because I've never really read any books about ballet, so its something new. It is also a pretty advanced book, so it brings up my reading level.

I am so mad at myself right now because I forgot what book I just read and really loved. But right now I am reading Judy Blume's Super Fudge. I like the jokes and how I can relate to Peter being sometimes frustrated with his parents. I just love fudge's character. My favorite line from fudge is when he says, " M-a-i-n-e spells Maine, F-u-d-g-e spells fudgy, P-e-t-e-r spell Pe-tah, and B-e-e-r spells whiskey." He is also so funny when he does something wrong the puts on his best-little- boy voice.

Some of the books I have read latly are the Harry Potter books. Although I am still on book 5, I have had many requests for other books to read I don't know how I will get them all done. I current plan is to finish Harry Potter and then go to the Hunger Games which everyone keeps telling me to read. I seem to be getting a little off topic so back on to the track. The book I'm in right now is the 5th Harry Potter. There hasen't been much action going on yet but after seeing the movies I think I am getting close to some.

I hate to admit it, but I haven't done a whole lot of reading lately. The closest thing to a book I've read lately is The Hunting of the Snark, by Lewis Carroll. While it is in fact a poem its certainly long enough to classify as a short story. Its about a group of people who go out on a journey to fight a monster called The Snark

Lately I've been reading two books. I just finished one, called Inheritance, by Christopher Paolini. I liked all the suspense and that everything went into deep detail and how everything is worked in ways that are unimaginable, like the dragons, they work in ways that in the real world we only dream about. The other book, I just started. This one's called Eragon, by Christopher Paolini the first book in the series. I decided to reread the series because I wanted to get more out of the books. I like how everything is a secret and nothing is known.

Right now I am reading "Gregor the Overlander and the Code of Claw." It's about a boy from New York who falls down a vent into an underland world where people ride on giant bats and at war with giant rats. I like this series because it has a lot of suspense and the author was very creative in writing it.

I'm reading Dial L For Loser by Lisi Harrison. This book is about girl clique's and what can go wrong in them. I love how the writer describes each charater with extreme detail. I also love how the writer gets you into the charaters thoughts and insecurites and it just reminds you that it does not matter what you wear or how pretty you look because noe of us are perfect. I would only recomend ths book to girls my age and i dont recoment guys reading this book because its all about girls.

I am not currently reading any book, but I may find one soon. Since I do not have a book to talk about at the moment, I thought I would talk about a book called Gifted hands: the Ben Carson story: the remarkable surgeon who gives children a second chance at life by Ben Carson. Ben Carson is a very talented neurosurgeon, and in this book, he talks about his childhood and how he became such a successful surgeon. Some people may say that this book is either for adults or for nerds. I don't think that is true, I think anyone could read this book, it is very inspiring. My mom showed me this book, and at first I was not very interested, but as I got into the book, I found it very inspiring because, I want to become a doctor myself, not a surgeon, but preferably a physician or any type of doctor. If you are the type of person who wants to be smart but is afraid of what other people would say about you, this book is really helpful. I really liked this book and didn't feel as scared to "be a nerd" and let out my inner person.

I just finished reading The Hunger Games series. It was by far one of my favorite book series. It takes place in the future on the continent of Panem (North America). It is a sci-fi sort of book. One of the reasons I enjoyed the series was the mix of topics. It included romance, suspense, betrayal, mystery, and action. The author, Suzanne Collins, mixed everything perfectly in all three books, The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay. I am about to start The Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie. I am looking forward to a good mystery.

I have not been reading to much lately but I have just gotten a new book from the library. It is called Tracking by Patrick Carmen. I have only gotten up to chapter two but so far it is very interesting. The book is actually written as a script! The conversations go back and fourth. So far the book has been about how the characters can track any body down just by using a computer chip. Apparently everybody leaves a track in the computer world. If you are a technology geek, like me, you will have a fun time reading this book.

The book that I have been reading lately is The Diary of a Young Girl, by Ann Frank. This book is The Diaries of Ann Frank. I love the diaries in history through the perspective a person my age. In some cases events in her diary are ironic. Also, it is really cool how I can compare personalities other girls my age at another time and a very serious event. This book is also very eye-opening, the way you can see and feel for the people who went through the holocaust. In all, I would recommend The Diary of a Young Girl.

The book I am currently reading and am almost finished with is "Ranger's Apprentice: The Kings of Clomnel," by John Flanagan. It is a very enjoyable book about a fictional world with people called rangers. Rangers are pretty much the CIA for a medieval country called Araluen. They have amazing longbow accuracy and are very good at moving without being heard or seen. Although it is a very good book, I would not suggest it unless you have read the first seven Ranger's Apprentice books.

I have read a couple of books recently, but the one that I'm reading right now is Iqbal by Francesco D'ADAMO. This book is a novel that takes place in Pakistan. The narrator is a young girl named Fatima. She is one of the many carpet making slaves around there. Each slave has to make carpets to pay off their family's debt. I think that this book is very sad. The slaves are not treated very well. But this book is great so far. Another young boy named Iqbal Masih joins them too and is not shy to say anything. Overall, this is a fantastic book!

I am currently reading to newest "Diary of a Wimpy Kid". It is "Diary of a Wimpy Kid Cabin Fever by Jeff Kinney". So far Greg and Rowley are making signs for shoveling snow. They put these signs up outside of the school. It starts to snow and the signs fall off and now there is a big green spot on the school wall. The next day the principal starts talking with all the students about who might have left the green spots. I really like this book because Greg and Rowley are always getting into trouble some how. I am not too far into it yet but I already can't wait to see what happens next. The rest of the series is good so I figure what the heck I will continue reading them. Hope they come out with another one.

The book I'm reding right now is called The Lost Hero by: Rick Riordan. It tells a story of a demigod named Jason, who is the demigod of Zeus/Jupiter. This book is the other series of the Percy Jackson Series. Even though it is a little tough to understand, I end up learning it. It is hard to understand because it uses some Roman mythology instead of Greek mythology. I like this book because the adventure and story lines relates ancient Greek times into modern day times. Overall, I love this book and highly persue you to read it if you love mythology.

Currently I am reading Maximum Ride the Angel Experiment by James Patterson. My friend Sam told me it was a good book, so I took her word and I find it very interesting. The main character is Max. Max is a superhuman and has the ability to fly. Her sister, Angel, was taken away by erasers, werewolf like creatures that are out to get them. At the point where I am in the book, Max and her family are on an adventure to get Angel back. Along the way they split up and face many obstacles. I find it interesting because there is always something new going on and it builds suspense, but I also think that it is boring because it is somewhat predictable at certain points in the book. Normally, I find most books extremely boring, but this book has changed my mind on all books. Finally, sometimes I find this book a little confusing because I find it hard to follow. I think it is hard to follow because you are following four different stories and six characters. I definitely recommend this book, but be prepared; it is a big book, and has 420 pages.

He goes into it and starts an adventure. Sometimes, it can get confusing and that's what I think is what I dislike about it. When I read it a lot though, it started to make a lot of sense. So far, it's a very good book and I like it. I recommend it to other people.

These books are about cats that live together in 4 different clans. The clans are ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan, and ShadowClan. Each clan has a special trait that is unique to them. The different Clans have to protect their prey and themselves from the other Clans and a variety of other animals. In the books it usually follows Thunderclan and what happens there. On some occasions they follow other cats if they doing something very important to the plot.

I've been reading Star Wars books lately. I am reading Star Wars - the Mandalorian Armor by K.W. Jeter. It's the first book in the Bounty Hunter Wars. So far, I like this book because it has a little action mixed in with adventure. The only reason I don't like this book is that they have smiliar names in the book and the Star Wars saga. Boba Fett is the main character in this book. He's always going off on dangerous bounty hunter missions. Boba Fett is awesome even though I think at least thirty other Star Wars characters are awesome, too. He is a weapon for those who hire him for the job. The most evil criminals fear his name. He does not let anything or anyone get in his way. He always hits his target right the first time and acomplishes his missions quickly. I can't wait until I finish this book.

So, we're writing about good books we have read. well, most of the books that have been reading are various Manga books- Japanese comic books that are read from back to front- and they are hard to describe or distinguish from good or bad. so, I'll tell you about two books that I haven't finished yet that do not fit into the Manga category. the two books are City Of Fallen Angels and The Clockwork Prince. both books were written by my favorite author, Cassandra Clare, and are both the next books in two of my favorite series. City Of Fallen Angels is the 4th books in The Mortal Instruments Series and The Clockwork Prince is the 2nd book in The Infernal Devices. I like these two books because of the humor and how Clare makes them seem real and really leaves you wanting more of the story. Not to mention, The Clockwork Prince is part of the prequel to the series that the City Of Fallen Angels book is in and it takes place in Old England where as COFA (City Of Fallen Angels) takes place in what seems like present day New York. I really recommend these two books. and, if anyone who knows me really well doesn't already know, my favorite characters in these two books have many things in common, such as humor. my favorite character in TCP ( The Clockwork Prince) is Will Harrandale because he had a big sense of humor, knows how to use sarcasm at all the right times, and he can do al this while hiding the secret of his life. my favorite character in COFA (City Of Fallen Angels) would be José Lightwood, because he knows how to use sarcasm as well, and has a sense of humor. he also is, like most guys, not one to show when he's scared and doesn't want to admit that he needs help. he battles with his feelings, and I think that's another thing that I like about him is how he does it because I know I do it a to too, but I don't think I do it very well and I am curious to see how that works out for him. These books are just so interesting.

The book that I am reading now is called A Pocket Full of Rye, and it was written by Agatha Christie. The characters in this book are really easy to relate to. There is Mr. and Mrs. Fortescue, who are the big boss and his wife, and Mrs. Griffith, Mr. Fortescue's assistant. In addition, there are the housekeeper, butler, servants, and family of Mr. and Mrs. Fortescue. Finally, there is Mr. Neele, the sneaky and cunning detective. This murder is so suspenseful; I never want to put the book down! That is one of the things I like best about this book. I give it two thumbs up!

The book that I am currently reading is called Witnesses to War by Michael Leapman. This book has 6 to 7 different stories about victims that were in the holocaust and managed to escape. I really like this book because it has history in it and has a lot of detail and original pictures. The thing that I don't like about this book is how a lot of children were involved. I hope to end up finishing this story in the next couple of days.

I've been reading a lot of books lately but the most recent book I am reading is Goal Line by Tiki and Ronde Barber. This book is really good. It is about two brothers who play football. The book talks about how the boys grew up and how they began to play football. This book is really interesting and I liked it a lot I highly recommend reading this book.

I am still reading "The Morganville Vampires" by Rachel Cain. I like the story line, just not the way the author writes. I think the auther could betray the main character better, beacause somtimes I will think the main character is really cool and brave, but often the writer says somthing that makes the character look nerdy and weak. But other than that the book is really good! Only 4 more books in the series!

I am going to start this book called Maximum Ride By James Patterson. I have not started it yet, but I know the main character's name is Max. She can fly, she has wings, and there are six others like Max.

I am currently reading a book called Cards on the Table by Agatha Christie. This is a murder mystery about a rich man who gets stabbed at one of his parties. I am loving the amount of detail put into this book and how well the plot is formed. However, the book is moving rather slowly at the moment, but it might just be because it's the beginning. I am excited to see who the murderer(s) is/are!

Recently, my sister read the Hunger Games series. One morning, she was pretty much reciting the books to me when I asked if she would stop bothering me if I read them. So I did. They're pretty grim books, and the characters have superhuman emotional stability, but they're good reads. I have no idea where Suzanne Collins comes up with the characters' names, though. I would recommend for others to read them, but the majority of the American population has done so already.

I'm currenty reading the Tunnels series by Rodric Groden and Brian Williams. I'm enjoying it I like the stroy in the first place and there are so many characters. What I don't like is how long it takes to switch characters. It will take a long time to go from character to character. Over all it's a great series and I think a lot more people would enjoy it.

I really enjoyed reading Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie. It's a great book. There is a second book following that, it's the Steven's brother's life when he grows up. It's called After Ever After. But, onto the book I'm reading.:P I'm reading Gone by Michael Grant. I really like how the kids in the book slowly begin to piece things together about this "dome" that appeared suddenly. In the book, all the people older than 14 years old disappear! I didn't read very much of it but so far it's a great book! I would definitely recommend this book to other students who like mystery and kind of a science fictiony book.:) I don't like how the rising action is kind of slow, not too slow, but slower than the pace I prefer. Overall Gone by Michael Grant is a great book so far!

My book I am reading now is called WaterFall by Lisa T. Bergren. I am only reading the first of the trilogy because the author herself is coming to talk to ME!!!! (and my book club) but that doesn't matter. I am going to buy the first book from her, she's gonna sign it, and in 30 years it will be worth a lot of money, like$50!!! It is about a girl in Italy who comes across an ancient tomb and discovers herself in Ancient Italy. I am also starting to read a book called The Looking Glass Wars for my book club….. Its sorta like Alice and Wonderland. Anyway, Waterfall is turning out to be a very creative book, and I'm loving it so far.

Currently I am reading the book Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick. It is a great book. Steven which is the main character is a 7th grade boy who has a brother that is diagnosed with leukemia. Now Steven has to figure out how to deal with his situation. The part I like about this book is that all the things in this book can actually happen. It has a lot of facts about the illness that Steven's brother Jeffery has. It is a great book and I would recommend it to people who don't like to read.

The NHL and the players' association have announced a tentative labor agreement that will save the hockey season.
A marathon negotiating session that lasted more than 16 hours and stretched from early Saturday afternoon until Sunday morning produced a deal that will ultimately end the lockout that reached its 113th day on Sunday.
The NHL avoided the embarrassment of having a second season lost because of a labor dispute when no other North American sports league ever had to cancel one. A lockout eight years ago that ushered in a salary-cap system to hockey for the first time wiped out the entire 2004-05 season.

By most accounts, 2013 saw some promising action by the Minnesota State Legislature, such as passing the Dream Act and the Homeowners Bill of Rights. But with Minnesota at the bottom nationwide in terms of racial equality, there is clearly much work to be done. To that end, last week the Organizing Apprentice Project (OAP) held the Racial Equity Justice Day at the Hill, an event that included a multiracial and multicultural mix of people and organizations — and that was attended by a few state legislators as well. The purpose of the rally, said Vina Kay, OAP's director of research and policy, was to "attend to unfinished business in 2014." The rally began in the Capitol Rotunda and included speakers and spoken word performances. Speaking were artist Brother Ali; Vina Kay; rap/hip hop performers Lioness and Guante; Peggy Flanagan of the Minnesota Children's Defense Fund; Jovita Morales of Mesa Latina-Waite House; Nique Mabrey from
OutFront MN; Fernando Rodriguez, a sophomore at Owatonna High School and leader of Central Campesino Youth; Archie Davis of Trillium Works from Duluth; Nicole Buckanaga of Leech Lake; and Emilia Gonzalez Avalos of Navigate. Continue Reading →

AURORA — Under the moonlight, a large crowd gathered Saturday morning near the Aurora movie theater where one year ago a gunman killed 12 and injured dozens of others.
The new memorial, located in the same place as the old across from the theater off Sable Boulevard, featured 12 wooden crosses that represented each victim.
Tearful visitors, many wearing Batman logo apparel, paid their respects by placing flowers, signs, notes and personal items around each cross.
As midnight approached, most of the crowd moved past the memorial to form a large circle, all holding a lit candle, as they prayed and held a moment of silence.
Following the moment of silence, Aurora police drove a long line of cruisers down Sable with their emergency lights flashing to pay their respects.

Looks good so far.
This is my new worldbuilding project I'm currently working on. For a change it's going to be a science fiction setting taking place in a distant galaxy, heavily influenced by Mass Effect. I would like to hear suggestions on what should be improved or if you have any other ideas to make this map better or unique. The only thing I can think of is that I'm going to change the perspective when everything is done with it so it will have more depth. I used this tutorial http://blog.hexagonstar.com/galaxy-tutorial/ to create the galaxy with some minor tweaks here and there so that I could accomplish it with GIMP instead of Photoshop!
If someone also know any Website that have guides on "how to create a science fiction world" I would be very glad if you could post them here
Looks good so far.

Something about that stylised galaxy says 'Van Gogh' to me. I like it.
Are you more interested in geology, meteorology, geography, technology, history, demographics, economics, politics, botany, zoology...?
If I know what your goal is, I can maybe point you in the right direction.

Look for Chit Chat, Sandmann's blog. Enjoy.
Well, anything would be nice, but mostly i need links about technology, goverment and how to create "believable aliens". Different ways of traveling the galaxy would be nice to!
Science fiction worldbuilding depends heavily on how "hard" you want the sci-fi ... as in how plausible you want the science. If you want it really plausible, the best way to do it is to look at actual science and take some intuitive (and fictional) leaps.
If you have a library nearby or can spare the cash to buy it, Orson Scott Card wrote an invaluable book about how to handle all of the things you're talking about. If not, here are a couple links to get you started (these are all places I've gotten good stuff for the sci-fi I'm researching). A google search on "science fiction worldbuilding" should yield some good results too.
Fantasy Worldbuilding Questions (fantasy and sci-fi intermix alot, so still useful)
Interstellar Travel on Wikipedia (and pretty much everything under See Also)
Universe Today is a great site for the actual science of space as it stands now
Space Cynic will give you an idea of what the problems with different space ideas are, so that you can deal with those problems in your world.
Thanks for the reply! I think I'm going for a more space opera-ish feeling, something along the lines of Mass Effect and Halo (not sure of Halo's genre). I've mostly been playing around with fantasy ideas and concept, so I'm new to SF. If I would focus on a Hard science fiction setting it will just turn out bad... really bad. Accuracy and mathematics are not my strong side
Preferably I want to focus on how it would be if humans, out of pure desperation and near extinction, invades another galaxy. What could possibly be the outcome and the consequences of the humans actions?
I also want to focus, as in my previous post, on governments and oraganizations, aliens and their culture and similiar stuff like that Hopefully it will turn out good!
If you are willing to spend a bit of money, GURPS Space is a quite impressive collection of material: Interstellar societies and technology, Placing worlds within a galaxy, designing worlds and star systems, and designing alien life. You don't need the rest of GURPS to use it.
LOL! Good call, Gidde. Yes, Hardness is the first thing to look at. As you can see from my list above, I tend to go for the harder end, so I might not be so much help after all, but just a few pointers to get you figuring where you want to go:
If you're going for the softer sci-fi, technology can be almost anything you want - and if you're going for an intergalactic campaign it'll be well off my scale. Galaxies are several million light years apart (compared with several light years for interstellar distances) so if you want to get there in less than a year, you have to be travelling at several million times light speed. What tech would accomplish that is anyone's guess - and by the time humans have achived that level, they might not even be recognisably human... But I'm talking hard sci and logic again.
Human governments run the gamut from a single ruler to a council and from participative democracy to totalitarian regimes - pretty much anything goes there.
Aliens will all have the same ecological problems that we're familiar with - the need to respire, to feed, to procreate and to manipulate their environment. You can go for 'rubber suit' aliens or more exotic types, but the less human they are, the more difficult it becomes to explain their motives - even the motive for conflict. The thing that really makes aliens alien is the way they think.
A human invasion of another galaxy (or even a starsystem) would be a huge undertaking that would require huge resources and a very long period of time. It would have the same difficulties, risks and consequences as any other all-out war - both sides risk genocide and extinction.
Hope that helps.

Yeah, I tend to go for the harder end too, lol. I want to give readers the same feeling I got when I read Red Mars for the first time: "Wow, we could be doing this! Why aren't we doing this NOW?"
Another good resource is the History channel's The Universe; they have a few episodes (that get pretty regularly rerun) about what ET/other planets might look like and why. Good for inspiration.
Thanks for all of the advices! I got GURPS Space and I'm currently reading it. All I can say is that this book is a must buy for a SF world builder it has a lot of information, stays interesting and explains everything in a nice way, giving newbies like me a chance to understand basic SF terms and concepts. Very nice!
While Im reading the book Ive come up with a concept of the travelling system in the galaxy. Ive had this vision of a former alien species that only focused on developing their space travelling technology for many many hundreds of years, maybe thousands. They came up with so called hyper stations, or routers, to make space travel faster, secure and simpler.
The routers functions as a sort of catapult that launch ships in high speed into hyperspace, emerging out by another router. Each router has its own close knitted network; one router leads to another one, which then leads to the next one (and back to the previous router).
As the ancient alien species expanded their territory they placed out these routers at strategically and useful coordinates.
Before using a router it must be activated. After the alien species mysteriously disappeared, one after one of the routers deactivated because of the lack of maintenance.
To relocate and activate the routs, the government funds so called router expeditions so that new territories may be explored, make new travel routs/highways in the galaxy and open up unexplored space. Router expeditions usually takes between months or years as the expedition ship needs to travel the distances between one relay to the other one in standard ship travel time instead of hyper speed. The time is approximately ten double the hyper jump time, less or more.
All currently found routers are heavily controlled by its founders. To make a hyper travel by using a router you often need to have a certain certificate or pay a fee.
Space stations are often located close to the router so that the government/organization can have some control over the router. They also schedules the travelling scheme (they dont want any coalitions on the highway) and maintains the routers condition. The space station also protects the router from invaders who wants to take control over it, as the highways are very important for trade, economics, politics and war.
So this is my first brainstorming ideas on the travelling system. I hope it isn't to confusing... english isn't my native language, and neither is SF my specialization . There are still a lot of topics left to cover, like what travel speed does the ship have in hyperspace, what happens if a router is broken while ships are travelling the highway, can ships be detected when travelling the hyperspace and so on. If you have any opinions or advices (or if you think its to unoriginal) I would be happy to hear any suggestions!
Other brainstorming ideas involves how humans came to the galaxy and why and so on. Its still too early to put it up here.
Ive also drawn some modifications on the map. The next step would be to place out the routers if the idea is good enough to be used! I also attached a pic with the galaxy without anything layered over it.

Spinner's End
this wiki
- "...They stood side by side, looking across the road at the rows and rows of dilapidated brick houses, their windows dull and blind in the darkness."
- —Description of Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange looking at Spinner's End.[src]
Spinner's End is a street on which the childhood home of Severus Snape is located. It is stated to be one of several streets lined with deserted brick houses and broken streetlamps, near a dirty river and an abandoned mill (presumably a woollen or cotton mill) with a tall chimney. It is located in Cokeworth.[1]
The Spinner in the street name likely refers to the involvement of the local inhabitants in textile production, most likely cotton or wool spinning. It might also allude to the spider-like facets of Severus Snape's character. Spinner's End is located near the childhood home of the Evans family, where Petunia Dursley and Lily Potter grew up, as revealed through Snape's memories to Harry Potter in 1998. While the Black sisters were there, Bellatrix deemed it a "muggle dunghill".
- "The chilly mist [...] drifted over a dirty river that wound between overgrown, rubbish-strewn banks. An immense chimney, relic of a disused mil, reared up, shadowy and ominous. There was no sound apart from the whisper of the black water and no sign of life apart from a scrawny fox that had slunk down the bank to nose hopefully at some old fish-and-chip wrappings in the tall grass."
- —Description of the neighborhood in which Spinner's End is a street of.[src]
Cokeworth is a large town located in England, in which the street of Spinner's End is located. It is a town with several streets of identical brick, terraced, houses. It is located near a dirty river, the bank of which is strewn with litter. There is a disused mill with a tall chimney in this town. Lily Potter and Petunia Dursley lived in walking distance from Spinner's End during their childhood, with their mother and father.[2][1]
Snape family home
- "They had stepped directly into a tiny sitting room, where had the feeling of a dark padded cell. The walls were completely covered in books, most of them bound in old black or brown leather; a threadbare sofa, an old armchair and a rickety table stood grouped together in a pool of dim light cast by a candle-filled lamp hung from the ceiling. The place had an air of neglect, as though it was not usually inhabited."
- —Description of Snape's sitting room.[src]
Snape's home contained a dark, enclosed sitting room, furnished with threadbare furniture, a dim candle-lit lamp hanging from the ceiling, and walls covered in books. The house stood at least two stories high, as a hidden door set in the wall of books revealed a narrow, ascending staircase. The place had "an air of neglect," as Snape spent most of his year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Severus Snape grew up in the last house on Spinner's End with his witch mother Eileen Snape (neé Prince) and his muggle father Tobias Snape. He presumably inherited the house after the death of his parents, and it became his home during the summer holidays when Hogwarts was closed.
Two of the Black sisters, Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange, arrived at the house in 1996, to find that Wormtail was living there, on Lord Voldemort's orders, to assist Snape. Snape treated Wormtail as a servant, forcing him to fix drinks for his guests and clean the house.
It was at Spinner's End that Snape made the Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa Malfoy to help Draco Malfoy in his mission to kill Albus Dumbledore.
As Snape died during the Second Wizarding War, his house is abandoned, and its fate is unknown.

A woman contacted 11 News after finding a giant spider outside her front door in the Security-Widefield area.
Robyn Plugge didn't know whether to just scream or scream for help, so she settled for screaming as loud as she could.
Neighbors rushed over and saw the spider as well. One neighbor was so fascinated with the spider that he caught it and now has it as a pet.
We reached out to employees at the May Natural Museum, who confirmed to us that the spider is not a tarantula. It is a wolf spider.
We have learned the wolf spider is poisonous but the bite wont kill you. If you are bitten, however, you should see a doctor.
It's also important to note as the weather gets colder, the wolf spider is often found in homes to stay warm.

Golgomath was a giant with the giant colony in Northern Europe. He was one of the biggest giants among his colony, being about twenty-five feet tall, with matching black teeth and a necklace of bones, some of which looked like human bones. He beheaded the Gurg of the colony, Karkus, and assumed leadership of the giants. He also took Karkus' helmet, which was a gift from the envoys of Albus Dumbledore.
When Rubeus Hagrid and Olympe Maxime decided to continue with their negotiations where they left off with Karkus, with a roll of dragon skin, Golgomath ordered two giants to lift Hagrid up, which resulted Madame Maxime attacking them with magic, an act that brought their negotiations to an end.
Golgomath also favoured the Death Eaters when they came to the colony to persuade the giants to rejoin Lord Voldemort's forces. Golgomath and the Death Eaters' envoy, Walden Macnair, got along very well, as they both loved to kill. Macnair and another Death Eater has apparently been consorting with Golgomath for some time, visiting and offering gifts. Golgomath told Macnair about Hagrid and Madame Maxime being here, and eventually allied the giants with Lord Voldemort, and ordered his underlings to raid the caves of the valley for giants who didn't agree with Golgomath's leadership.
Following Voldemort's defeat, it is possible Golgomath returned to his position as Gurg, or was killed during or after the war for allying with the Death Eaters.
Golgomath's name is derived from the number "googol." Its numerical value is a single digit 1 with one hundred zeros afterwards, or 10100. Obviously this is a very huge number, which is fitting for one of the largest of the giants. An alternative would be Golgotha or Calvary, the hill outside Jerusalem on which Christ was reputedly crucified. The name means "(place of the) skull", gulgulta in Aramaic with the Hebew cognate being gulgoleth. The Ancient Greek manthano, from which math is derived, means "learn" or "be taught", so together the bearer would have "learn(t) in the place of the skull (death)", which would seem to sum up this tiny, enclosed valley.

I am a serious fan of black and white and love her look.
The crocheted sweater is very Chanel-esque.
I am so enjoying these wonderful images and the blog is one of my new favourites!
Thank you!

I dig the crochet jacket here. I can't decided if it's RTW or handmade. In any event, it would be easy to make and thread black ribbon (preferably velvet) in and around the edges.

Fujitsu P55XHA51WSB review
Plasma pioneer Fujitsu is the brand of choice for most of the custom install industry. By positioning itself away from the hurly-burly of most TV high-street action, it's managed to protect itself from the chaos of falling prices. But a consequence is that it's probably not the first brand most of us think of when we think PDP - a shame, as Fujitsu has produced some very nice displays over the years.

Interested to know whether anyone here is using youtube for video sharing either publicly or privately with customers?
It's something that I am doing more and more of with other clients but not so much with accountants.
Seems like the potential to show personality and the face behind the practice could be pretty good.
Anyone have any experiences to share or thoughts on Youtube?
You're spot on Maxxy...
....we have created several youtube videos for accountancy and IFA clients and others have done their own. Some, as youhave mentioned Maxxy, have used the opportunity to show their own personality whilst talking about the services they provide. Others have gone for a more corporate image by using us to create a video sequence to a script.
Other benefits to using this method of internet marketing are:-
The Google spiders are always happy to find new content and particularly different media on a website, so having the video on your site will certainly help with SEO and push your own site up the Google rankings.
If you put a little thought into how you title your video, youtube obviously has excellent SEO rankings and doesn't take long at all to push it's videos to the top of Google. So rather than simply naming your video after you or your practice, have a think about what prospects might be looking for and title your video around that. Creating more than 1 video will help you to build your brand and reputation. If you create problem solving media as well then you will obviously generate a lot of interest, again by using the right video titles for SEO.
Using this method can be as cheap or expensive as you like; using (or borrowing) a video camera whilst sat at your desk or with a projected slide show costs you very little. Uploading your video to youtube costs nothing. If you want a more polished and professional video then yes, unless you happen to be a bit of a digital video editing enthusiast, you will need to spend a bit of money, but the results for both methods that I have witnessed have been pretty much the same.
So if you don't mind getting in front of the camera and talking about what you do, then I would suggest it's a very cost effective marketing tool....and who knows James Cameron or Steven Spielberg may find you and whisk you off to Hollywood to be part of the next blockbuster!!!
Perhaps you could share all those videos with us?
It is great to hear that you have created several videos for accountants and IFA's. Perhaps the best way to show us all what you are talking about would be to post the names and locations of all those videos. I am sure that would help and inspire others to repeat your success.
I am not sure about the value of linking to a you tube video is but then again I am not an SEO expert. However, I did talk to somebody a while ago and he suggested that linking to you tube was good for you tube and not for the site the link is coming from. I think this is because it is effectively an out bound link from your site to you tube, rather than an inbound link from a high ranking site like you tube back to your site.
Videos are great for engaging site visitors so they have value in that respect too. You should always put your contact information in the video for those who bump into it on you tube.
Lastly, just like video, still images are valuable on the web. In social media it is always best to have a nice picture of the person. I am sure you would agree.
Yes, I make considerable use of YouTube for my own promotional videos.
David Winch
Could you point us to any examples
I would love to see some examples.
On the "to do" list
As usual it is on my "to do" list. I'd love to hear how others find it.
@Mark I think the benefit of video is best for SEO if it is on your own site as it makes it more interesting. It is also useful as a source of contact when viewers click through from Youtube.
We have made videos
I am part of a family run accountancy firm in Edinburgh and my brother is a film editor in London who has helped us produce corporate films which we share on YouTube -steedmancompany Also the SEO benefit has been good in that thumbnails have appeared of our corporate films on the SERPs pages which help our entries in the organic results stand out. It also seems easier to get videos to appear on page 1 - perhaps because less people are producing videos as opposed to text-based web pages.
We have decided to produce our films in 2 ways - firstly by using professional equipment and getting the film professionally edited - and secondly by making small 'Look at Me' videos using more simple film editing software.
Also I completely agree with HudsonCo that the real benefit comes from having the video on your own site - especially if you submit a video site map as an xml file to Google's Webmaster Tools so that they scan your site regularly with ease.
Some Examples
At Mark Orr's request, you can see some of my own YouTube hosted promotional videos at:
My January 2011 Sales and Marketing Bulletin
David Winch
Thanks for sharing those with us David Winch
As you know, I have seen you speak and know that you have some great ideas.
I would also love to see some of the work from the other David who said
'we have created several youtube videos for accountancy and IFA clients'.
Don't be shy, I am sure we can all learn from your videos too.
Thanks David......
.....you give a good insight on how to put across bags of personality and stay very professional in a video. I'd like to give a couple of examples of a slightly different approach which we have found also works very well.
This approach maybe more suited to the camera shy and admittedly does not demonstrate the personality of an individual, but they do however demonstrate a solution to a problem and help to reinforce a brand.
I think both methods work equally well.
Can you show us any more examples
Hello David, these are both for the same client. Would you be able to share the results of these videos and maybe give other accountants an indication of costs. Perhaps it would be interesting to see what you have done for IFA's.
Thanks for sharing the videos with us. It certainly has opened my eyes to what you can do.
our You Tube channel
We set up a You Tube Channel containing numerous videos some months ago and have links to it from our website.
The corporate videos also play in our reception area.
Link here http://www.youtube.com/user/MitchellsAccountants
our You Tube channel
Hi andrewmcdald
had a look at your YouTube videos. Very impressive.
We've been using YouTube for several years, mainly to host the videos we have on our www.taxhelp.uk.com website, but we have also received clients directly as a result.
We have our own YouTube channel too:
It's a great way to promote the business, and the videos we had done were very affordable.
Do you think having your own you tube channel is important
Thanks for showing us your Tax Help videos and your you tube channel. I am sure their must be good benefits from using your own channel. I did notice that an earlier poster sent us links to videos that were neither in his name nor his clients which did reduce their credibility for me. They also had very few hits so maybe they are not being found for that reason too.
presumably Video is like all other forms of marketing. It needs to be measurable to be effective.
Youtube Channel
Hi Mark
It only took me 10 minutes or so to set up the YouTube channel, so it's easily done and worth having as a location for the videos.
The quality of the videos makes a huge difference - many I've seen have either been with a filing cabinet behind someone talking to a laptop webcam or a low quality green screen.
It's worth investing a few hundred getting the quality right, otherwise it can count against the poster.
My own videos were shot by an ex TV camerman and I was interviewed by the longest running presenter from MTV - having that level of experience makes the process so easy and the quality shows.
I think the interview style is a good idea
I think you are dead right to have your own you tube channel. I cannot imagine why any marketing professional wouldn't have their own you tube channel.
I also liked the interview style as it helps to bring out some character and avoids the talking head look.
YouTube has the potential to be massive for accountants
YouTube is now the second biggest search engine in the world and since Google bought it in 2006 videos are now a key part of SEO.
It's particularly relevant for accountants because we are in a people business, so it lets prospective clients see us. And since very few firms are doing video marketing, and even less doing it well, there is a huge oppotunity for firms to use video to both attract new clients and add value to existing clients.
However, there are some key things you need to know to make YouTube and video work. Here are a few tips:
1. The video MUST add value. If you do not have valuable content and only do a sales pitch then people will switch off. So make sure that you have valuable content in every video you do.
2. You need to think about traffic... traffic to your YouTube channel and traffic from your channel. With regard to the latter, what is your objective for the video? You should have a call to action at the end. For example, ask the viewer to sign up for your free book.
3. You also need to drive traffic to your channel. A great way of doing that is integrating your YouTube strategy into your other online and social media strategies.
4. Unless your video content is really engaging, aim to keep videos to 2 - 3 minutes long. Most people on YouTube are looking for a "quick fix" - if your videos are too long or not interesting they'll simply click away. If you have a video containing tips that is 8 minutes long, break it down into 2 or 3 separate videos.
5. One of the keys to YouTube success is getting people to SUBSCRIBE to your channel. This is a bit like collecting Fans in Facebook. YouTube then notifies your subscribers when you upload new videos.
Have a look at my "Pricing For Accountants" channel for some more ideas. You'll find it here...
When you explore my channel you'll see a mixture of different types of video. Some are me to the camera. Some are from live seminars. Some feature accountants I work with. And some use screen capture software (which is great if you are camera shy).
And if you want some more tips, check out this video...
I did this a few weeks ago and it gives some more tips regarding video marketing.
I hope this helps.

Well, if you ask me, I think you should ask Robert directly...He goes by the name of Sapiento here at the Guild, and is one of our best.
Subject: I am looking for someone to produce a map to accompany my Homebrew Campaign Setting for Dungeons and Dragons. The map involved is of a supercontinent the rougly the size of the Eurasian Supercontinent. Below is a link to the rough draft I have created.
Hearth Realm - Please ignore the scale on this map, I would like it to reflect a map that is roughly the size of the Eurasian Supercontinent (20,846,000 sq mi), so please use whatever scale you feel fits it best.
Style: I am looking for something in a very detailed fantasy style, much like the work of Robert Altbauer.
Quality and Size: I am looking for something that is pretty detailed, showing major settlements and key sites (as marked on my draft). The size I'm looking for would be a standard poster-size map (18" by 24"). I believe that this would be sufficient to lay out the details of the map such that important land marks are easy to spot.
Time Constraints: I have no current limit on time, as this is my personal work which will be shared with a small group of friends.
Copyright: The artist will keep full copyright for the map as the project is intended for personal use only. One copy of said map will be printed and kept in my personal Dungeons and Dragons folder.
Contact Information:
e-Mail: samuel.raup--at--rcn.com
I preface this project by wishing my utmost gratitude to whomever takes up my cause. This setting is almost five years of my blood sweat and tears and I would love to see this world come to life in beautiful color.

Art Critic = Someone with the Eye of an Artist, Words of a Bard, and the Talent of a Rock.
Please take my critiques as someone who Wishes he had the Talent
I selected unpaid because I cannot afford to spend any money on the project. His work looks as if it would cost me literally a week's pay to cover, and my income is by no means small. If I suddenly come across a large windfall of money I would be more than happy to ask him, but at this point I can't swing it.
I'll try to work on this. I have finals next week so it might be a bit sparse on development but we'll see if I can get it done next week.
What kind of terrain do you want in each region?

Georgia Boots For Men
There aren't many things that rival the quality and craftsmanship of Georgia boots for men. The company has been making outstanding work boots and steel toe boots for more than 75 years, outfitting American men with the safety, protection, durability and comfort they've needed to build this country. Georgia work boots and Georgia steel toe boot...s are the backbone of the product line, but Georgia Boot makes many different types of footwear, including Sport and Trail (outdoor), Farm and Ranch, loggers, and also other styles that have been specifically designed for specific industries. All of them are known for being available at a great price, without sacrificing quality or compromising on materials. Georgia Boot also features boots for men like the Diamond Trax, which is unique because the slip resistance actually improves the more you wear the boots, as opposed to most outsoles, which get more slippery and polished over time. Georgia Boot has always been focused on work products, following its guiding principle of simply delivering quality footwear for people who work with their own two hands to build and maintain the world around them, people who are the backbone of not only America, but also the company itself. That's why, when it celebrated its 75th anniversary, Georgia Boot sponsored trade schools across the United States, setting up opportunities for the next generation of the American workforce. It's a product that feels good to wear, in more ways than one. Georgia makes great boots for men, and that's something that will never change.(Learn More About georgia boots for men)(See less)

Deputies release name of man found dead near river

OCALA - Deputies have released the name of the man whose lifeless body was found near the Ocklawaha River on New Year's Day.
Detective Mark Peavy said Thursday that Steven Otter, 48, of Eureka, was identified by his fingerprints. He said family members have been notified.
Peavy said Otter had some medical issues, but he would not elaborate.
A deputy was dispatched Tuesday to the 15200 block of East County Road 316, near the Eureka Bridge, after receiving a report about a man stepping into traffic and pacing back and forth on the bridge. The deputy later found the body approximately two feet from the river.
Peavy said Wednesday the body had blunt force injuries consistent with a fall and there were no signs of foul play.
