That is the fun of D&D, but it also makes things complicated.
It's hard to put into words how to handle storylines, but I am going to give it a try. Here's what works for me.
My games have two threads:
- Main Plot: Whatever adventure I am currently running.
- Sub-Plots: Little story elements that might grow in time.
Here's an outline of how you can progress storylines. I'm going to explain all of this further below:
- Establish story elements in the campaign
- Plan out an idea
- Foreshadow the idea and put it in play
- Let the group twist and shape your idea
- Build on what they did and hand it back to them
- Let it grow until it explodes.
- Reinforce the notion that player choices matter
Brainstorm: To start with, create a bunch of stuff for the heroes to interact with. I usually run games where the heroes have a "base," either a pirate ship or a hometown. I make up a bunch of NPCs, whatever I think is fun. I give the NPCs secrets and motivations. I make sure many of the NPCs are nice and helpful to the group, and that I don't just use them as a way to "screw over" the players plotwise.
Put Your Elements in Play: Let the group interact with your elements. You might have some favorites, so try those out on the group first and see what the players do.
Player Reactions: As the group mingles with your elements, they might be sort of overwhelmed in a meta-game way. They might wonder "Which of these NPCs have story hooks?" or "What are we 'supposed' to do with them?"
It's good to keep them on their toes! Your world will feel rich and more real. The truth is that maybe you have cool plot ideas for one or two of them, but the rest of these elements are in play just for fun. You throw them out there, and see what comes of it. In time, that NPC might spark a plot, but in the meantime they're a face in the crowd.
The group will be surrounded by potential plot hooks which can slowly grow over time in natural ways.
The Cleric: A cleric at the church often heals the heroes for free, because the heroes are low level and they are just starting out. Perhaps as they gain levels, the heroes offer big donations to the church to return the favor. You might decide that the church built an entirely new wing using the money the PCs gave them.
Maybe things get bad for the heroes down the road - the whole world has turned against them. Or they are suffering from a curse. The only people willing to help are the members of the church. They let the group stay there, but the curse brings danger to the church. We have a whole adventure with the heroes and the NPC cleric trying to fend off monsters drawn by the curse and trying to figure out a cure. I'd bet the heroes would feel undying loyalty to this church and do everything they could to keep it from harm.
Factions: I'm running a Planescape campaign. Planescape is full of all of factions that characters often join. You can build something out of that. Each session, have that character do something with the faction and interact with members of the faction.
One character in my campaign, Bidam, joined the Sensates, a faction devoted to experiencing everything there is to experience. They record their experiences on magic sensory stones, which allows other people to relive your experience and feel what you felt.
There is a ridiculous amount of possibility with that. You could have the heroes use some sensory stones and see something that sparks an adventure - maybe they spot an overlooked magic item in the memory in the sensory stone.
The heroes can make friends with other Sensates and do tasks for them. The group can rub elbows with the Factol (the leader of the faction). Maybe the faction goes to war with another faction, which could lead to a series of pretty epic adventures.
Intertwining Sub-Plots: Once you've established your element, you can have it interact with other elements to create a complex narrative.
In order to do this, you need to look at your list of elements and think about how they might interact with each other and the main story.
Quick Example: Selinza is the apprentice to the party mage, Theran. Her ultimate goal is to find the villain who took her from her homeland and get revenge. After a few sessions adventuring alongside the group, Selinza goes with the heroes to the Infinite Staircase. She learns that in the staircase you can find a door to your heart's desire, but you will never return. She thinks that if she finds this door, it will take her to the villain. So now she is trying to sharpen her wizard skills so she can go get him.
The apprentice story and the Infinite Staircase were both separate elements, and we found a connection. Now we have merged them in a logical way and the world feels more rich and "real."
The best way to foster this feeling is to plant story seeds. I'm going to give two examples, one with no foreshadowing, and one with foreshadowing:
No Foreshadowing: Let's say the heroes live in a village and they protect it on occasion. You decide that you want to have an ogre pulling a cart full of bomb-throwing goblins rampage through the village.
Now, you could just have it happen. Who are these bad guys? Where did they come from? Why are they doing this? It doesn't really matter, because they are here right now making things explode and they're probably going to be dead in an hour or so.
You can get a lot more mileage out of this with a little planning. It will also feel much more climactic as you build up to it. Here's what I mean:
Foreshadowing: Let's say there's a jerk guard in the town. The heroes have interacted with him and humiliated him in previous sessions. Let's plant the seeds:
Session 1:
- Family: Establish that the jerk guard has family all over the area, in many different settlements.
- Rumors: The group is on an adventure and they hear some bad guys talking about the ogre in hushed tones. They talk about his scars and his band of loyal goblins and how they eat people or whatever. They can communicate with each other through enchanted skulls.
- Ogre's Handiwork: The heroes are out on an adventure and they discover a nearby settlement or farm has been blown up. Could this be the work of the ogre? There are a few survivors. they ask the heroes to bring them to the village.
- Things Are Afoot: The heroes do so and then need to deal with the rest of session 2's main adventure. What they don't know is that the survivor of the ruined village is related to jerk guard. Survivor stays with jerk guard and reveals that he stole something off of a dead goblin - a magic skull.
- Recruitment: The jerk guard secretly uses the skull and contacts the ogre. He wants to help the ogre come here and kill the heroes.
- Climax: Now we have the ogre and the bomb-throwing goblins show up.
- Development: Jerk guard might reveal what he did, he might not. Maybe during the carnage, jerk guard realizes he made a horrible mistake and tries to help the heroes while risking his own life.
Let the Group Shape Your Ideas
Your instinct might be to try to steer it back "on course." Don't! This is a cool development too! The heroes have stumbled onto a way to contact the ogre. What wacky player-thing will they do with it? Find out and roll with it.
Preparation: What this means is that right when you are ready to start foreshadowing this potential plot, you need to have the bad guys statted out, the enchanted skull's specifics, where the bad guys live and what their ultimate goal is.
That way, when the players tap dance all over this thing, you will be able to handle it smoothly.
That's the Fun of D&D: What I have learned over time is that much of the joy of being a DM is in throwing something out there and seeing what the group does with it. When you're not married to a story, it's very liberating. Together, you and the players are creating this living novel and nobody knows how it will end.
It is scary to allow the group to turn your thing upside down, because you might feel unsure as how you will fill your session. But if you prepare for a disruption, then it's no big deal. The key is to have a clear picture of the antagonist and what they want.
NPCs Are Vital: The above story grew out of a jerk NPC. That's why I think it is important for you to establish NPCs in the campaign for the group to interact with. Give them secrets and motivations.
Make sure many of them are kind and helpful to the PCs! Don't fall into the trap of using NPCs as triggers for bad events all the time. This will lead to the players not wanting to interact with NPCs at all, because it always leads to bad things.
Build on What Your Group Has Done
D&D is alive. You've dangled an element in front of them. They have done things with the element that maybe you didn't expect. Now you use logic and determine the ramifications or developments of their choices. Here's an example:
The War: The heroes are friends with a woman named Pollidemia. There's a war brewing in her homeland and she feels compelled to go help. All Pollidemia has is a really crappy sword. You know that the party fighter has a magic sword that he doesn't use any more. Your secret plan is that in a few sessions, the group will be drawn into this war and Pollidemia might be a valuable ally in one way or another. There's a fateful choice here:
- If the party fighter loans her the magic sword, the sword turns the tide in a crucial battle over there.
- If the party fighter doesn't think of it, or just doesn't want to give up the sword, then that crucial battle goes poorly. Pollidemia's crappy sword shatters, her arm is severed and she is left for dead. She survives, just barely.
- The group might drop everything and go off to that war with Pollidemia.
- The group might give her some other type of aid or boon.
- Maybe the group convinces Pollidemia not to go at all.
And here's the most important thing: If the group abandons the adventure they're in the middle of to go to this war, figure out the consequences! If they were tracking down some bad guy but then they leave, that means the bad guy is now running amok.
The point of this example is to show that the choice the group makes here will have major consequences. Not necessarily good or bad, just drastically different.
Know Your Players: If you've played with the same people for a while, you will likely be able to predict what they will do in certain situations. That will make planning much easier!
Grow the Story Until it Explodes
Now that we're off and running, just play off the group. Eventually it might build into something that you can get a full session out of.
Keeping Track of Plots
Record Your Sessions/Write a Summary: Using a digital recording device is the best way to keep track of things. It can be a pain to skim through it later, but it's there if you don't remember about how something went down. Writing a session summary is great, as you have an accurate log of what happened. Be sure to write it within a day or two of the session, otherwise you might forget details.
Keep a Plot Log: I have a text file on my computer. On it are all of the little elements and ideas in play in the campaign, each on their own line. After each session, I open it and update it.
Right now in that file I have all sorts of stuff, from magic items I want to give the group to vague concepts that I need to think about more. There's over 20 elements in there right now. I won't list them all, but here's a few so you can get a clear picture of how I use this:
- Bro: I had an idea last night for a frat bro NPC who hangs out with a dwarf that is always drunk. I brainstormed funny things for him to say, googled a bunch of "bro" words and I watched this youtube clip of Will Ferrell. I'm thinking the group might want to party with him.
- "Slicing Power": This is part of a giant storyline I have going that would take forever to explain. The fighter and a few NPCs have been magically touched by the Lady of Pain. They don't know it, but they have the power to cut people just by looking at them. I want to start foreshadowing this, so I am going to have the heroes hear a rumor that a citizen was killed in this manner. If they investigate, they might link the incident to an NPC and learn the whole story.
- Aza Dowling: There's a spy for Shemeshka the Marauder working at a business the heroes own. Next session, I want to plant a subtle clue that something is up with Aza and that she might be stealing valuable information.
That's how I do it. You just track and update each plot after each session.
Plot Hammer
- Foreshadow the plot whenever possible
- Play off what the heroes do and grow the story
- Use logical consequences
- Track story progress after each session
- Keep your eyes peeled for intersecting plotline opportunities

Working from home is definitely a "dream job" for many, and the popularity has grown significantly?among over the last few years!
I hear it again and again, Mom's choosing to be a stay at home Mom after maternity leave, not because they can afford to, but because they can't afford to go back!
With the combined cost of daycare and transportation, most end up working for mere pennies an hour, and once you factor in the time you are also sacrificing with your little one for those pennies, it just doesn't add up.
Working at home removes the need for daycare, slashes gas expenses, and allows you to spend time with your little one each day!
With that said, there are some aspects that many people don't consider when deciding to work at home…and that's why I'm here!
After being a "work at home Mom" for the last 4 years, I can tell you it's not just about starting, you really need to take control of your business just like any other if you want it to succeed!
7 Secrets?of Successful Work At Home Moms
1. You are the company!
If you work for yourself, you are now the face of your own company in every daily interaction. You never know where you will bump into your next customer/client/reader, so be prepared!
I know this seems simple, but don't forget your manners! Many of us can let our standards for treating others slip when we are having a bad day, or dealing with people we assume we'll "never see again"…you never know!
It's important to treat others well, not only to set a great example for your little one, but to portray the image you want associated with your business!
2. Treat work like work!
Would you head into the office in your comfy old pj's? Probably not!
Dressing for success is not just for public, and it's not a myth either! Like many other work at home Moms, I've gone through the "PJ phase", and I can tell you it greatly impacts not only your level of productivity, but your self confidence, and that will roll right into your business!
Get up and get dressed as though you are heading out to where you worked before your maternity leave, I promise you will see the difference!
3. Stick to a schedule!
A schedule is crucial to balancing work and life when you're home of operations?is home! It can take some time to figure out what works best for you, but make figuring it out a priority!
It gets?overwhelming when you start seeing?all the time as work time (because you really never get to leave!), so stick to the schedule you set, trust that you set it for a good reason, and shut off when it's time!
4. Put in what you want to get out!
If you want a "hobby" income, treat it like a hobby. If you want a "full time" income, you better be ready to work!
It's true that working from home eliminates the travel time and need for daycare, but not much else, especially at first! Until you get to the point where you expand and bring on team members, you are the CEO, Head of Operations, Public Relations, Accountant, and everything in between!
Is it possible to work part time for a full time income? Absolutely, but only once you've put in the time to establish your business and audience/client base.
5. Keep a separate workspace!
I cannot stress this enough! This is another one that I've suffered the negative impact of, and I can tell you that this is a?must!?
It doesn't need to be a complete home office setup (although that would be nice, and I'd be super jealous!), but it needs to be something that you can tuck away out of sight during your "down time".
One of the biggest struggles work at home Moms can have is knowing how to separate work and home life, since it can very easily blend together!
Being able to visually put work away will help you make that differentiation, and also helps clear your head of work, making room for new ideas!
6. Follow your passion!
If you're not doing something you love, you won't ever be truly successful!
Working at home while running a household and caring for children is (to say the least!) a challenge, so you really need to have the drive to continue piling it all on your plate every day!
Make sure you are doing something in a field you love, in a way you love, to give you steam to keep going when things get tough!
7. Take breaks/get out of the house!
When you make the jump into working from home, you'll find that not leaving the house between the two can become for of a curse than a blessing if not managed correctly!
Always make sure you that when you are creating your schedule, you work in breaks that get you moving and out of the house as much as possible! The last thing you want is to start feeling more stuck than when you worked outside of your home!
Do you work from home, or have you ever thought about it? Chat with me in the comments below!

After that film showed good jump through the weekend, but damage was already done. In fact damage was done in first week itself. It is all about recovery of the film now.
Phillauri total collection after 10 days is approx 25.75 crore nett. Film touching 30 crore nett in its lifetime is looking tough. Although not out of reach right now. Chances of film getting Flop status is very much on, unless it trends miraculously for 2-3 more weeks.
Collection Breakup -
1st Week - 22.65 crore nett.

(Reuters) - Target Corp (TGT.N) on Wednesday reported an increase in second-quarter comparable-store sales after four straight negative quarters, driven by improved online traffic and demand across all businesses except groceries.
Target shares rose as much as 4 percent after the retailer beat second-quarter profit and same-store sales expectations, traffic jumped 2.1 percent, and it raised its full-year adjusted earnings forecast.
Chief Executive Officer Brian Cornell said comparable sales rose across all Target's categories during the quarter, except food and beverage, which was flat, an improvement from the decline in the first quarter.
"This was one of the top-performing retailers over the last decade. For a little while, it seemed to have lost its way but now appears to be getting back into that 'Tar-jay' mode from both a merchandising and an operating perspective," Moody's analyst Charlie O'Shea said, referring to the faux-French pronunciation favored by customers.
Like other retailers, Target has struggled to boost traffic amid changing consumer habits and competition from e-commerce giant Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O).
Target shares have slid 25 percent since the start of the year, widely lagging larger rival Wal-Mart (WMT.N), whose stock has risen 17 percent.
In its latest turnaround bid, Target vowed this year to double the number of small-format stores, invest heavily in e-commerce, aggressively promote its products and keep grocery prices low to compete with Wal-Mart, Amazon and supermarket chain Kroger Co (KR.N).
"Probably, the best bang for Target's buck is a combination of investment in online and grocery," O'Shea said, adding that Target's rapidly growing online sales are still only a small fraction of overall revenue.
"Food is a very important category. It drives traffic and traffic begets sales of exclusive brands. A lot of Wal-Mart's success has been the explosion of its food business."
Comparable online sales soared 32 percent in the quarter ended July 29, compared with last year's 16 percent increase. This helped total comparable sales to rise 1.3 percent, beating the 0.7 percent growth expected by analysts polled by research firm Consensus Metrix.
Lower pricing and promotions hurt Target's gross margin rate by about 40 basis points, Chief Financial Officer Cathy Smith said on a post-earnings conference call, and could face additional margin pressure for the rest of the year.
Excluding items, the Minneapolis-based retailer earned $1.23 per share in the second quarter, beating the average analyst estimate of $1.19, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Sales rose 1.6 percent to $16.43 billion, above the average analyst estimate of $16.30 billion.
Target raised its full-year adjusted earnings forecast to $4.34-$4.54 per share from $3.80-$4.20.
The company's stock was up 3.2 percent to $56.07 at midday after rising to $56.46.

Someone is trying to kill the royal heirs. For Boris, that's a problem. He's an offworld mercenary working on the isolated planet Dimonah as a royal bodyguard, and the young Prince and Princess are proving to have powerful enemies. His employers don't know about his covert work with the exile Hass, but the rebels are suspiciously well informed and it's not clear who he can trust. Keeping himself and the heirs alive is starting to look impossible, yet the fate of a world may depend on it.

Sep 15, 2010I recently finished reading The Ranboen Contract and must say I was thoroughly impressed by the debut offering from this author. The story contains plenty of fast-paced action, and you'll find yourself turning pages at a brisk pace right from page one. The action scenes are well written and move the plot along at an enjoyable pace. As the story advances an increasingly intriguing political scheme unfolds adding true depth to the story and providing believable motivation and justification for the characters actions. The plot has a number of twists and turns, some of which you may see coming, but one in particular totally blindsided me. In my mind I had already predicted how the chapter would end and the story progress, but my predictions were proved wrong in one powerful scene which completely changed the course of the novel. While the story is based in the future, the action takes place on a single planet and as a result could have just as easily have been told in a current day...

In all, a thoroughly enjoyable novel and I look forward to more titles by this author.< Less
Aug 27, 2010I brought the digital version of this novel, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It turned out to be much better than I expected, and one of the better novels I've read in the while. An engaging story, and a definite page turner. My only complaint is that it could have benefited by a professional editor, as there were more than the average amount of textual errors. But definitely a good read and well worth the price!

Richmond, California, had 46 homicides per 100,000 residents in 2007, making it one of the most deadly places in the US — up there with murder capitals like Flint, Michigan, and New Orleans, Louisiana.
In 2014, that number dropped to just 11 homicides per 100,000 residents.
That's a 76% decrease in just seven years.
What allowed for the change?
For one, there is the incredible work of the Office of Neighborhood Safety, a public-private partnership that targets the young men most likely to shoot or get shot by a gun.
The outreach team then slowly builds a relationship with these at-risk men and provides them stipends for following a "life map" they create of their personal goals, in addition to providing dependable, nonpolice attention and mentorship.
It's a revolutionary approach.
In a way, it comes down to the way we frame the problem.
The operating metaphor here is violence as disease:
• Traditionally, we treat people who carry the disease of violence by "quarantine": They get sent to jail.
• But with the Office of Neighborhood Safety approach, people who carry the disease of violence are treated by "inoculation": They get an "artificial immunization" by way of social structures.
As Tim Murphy notes on Mother Jones, the thought is that if you could "inoculate" the greatest "carriers of violence," you'd prevent outbreaks of violence, thereby stabilizing entire communities or even the whole city.
University of California at Berkeley criminologist Barry Krisberg, who served as an adviser for the Office of Neighborhood Safety, explained that violence — like disease — happens across social networks.
Violence in Richmond "came down to a small number of people," he told The Washington Post. "Violence tends to be concentrated in certain social areas, and most of the people who engage in criminal violence engage people they know, or are related to, and it spreads from generation to generation."
Equally as intriguing, psychology research suggests that the metaphors we use to describe social problems like violence frame the solutions we intuitively propose for them.
Oberlin College psychologist Paul Thibodeau researches the way language informs cognition.
"Far from being mere rhetorical flourishes, metaphors have profound influences on how we conceptualize and act with respect to important societal issues," he writes.
He showed as much in a 2011 paper, in which his team asked 1,482 students to read two news reports about crime and then describe their approaches to combating it. Crime was described in one of two ways: as a "virus infecting a city" or a "wild beast preying on a city."
Depending on the metaphor, respondents had vastly different takes:
• A full 75% of people who read the "wild beast" metaphor opted for punishment-oriented responses to crime, like building jails or calling in the National Guard, and only 25% said that social improvements like investing in education would help.
• Only 56% of people who read the "virus" metaphor recommended punitive action — 44% said that social reforms were the thing to do.
What the Office of Neighborhood Safety suggests is that we need to adopt the virus metaphor if cities are going to find long-term solutions to reducing the numbers of murders.
"The idea was the old carrot and stick thing was not enough," said Krisberg, the University of California criminologist. "If you can't stabilize their financial situation, they'll go back to dealing dope, and drugs is a dangerous business that leads to shootings."

Author: Ruth Behar
Publisher: Nancy Paulsen Books
Publication date: April 11, 2017
Pages: 256

Rating: ☆☆☆☆
Synopsis (from goodreads.com):
Based on the author's childhood in the 1960s, a young Cuban-Jewish immigrant girl is adjusting to her new life in New York City when her American dream is suddenly derailed.
Ruthie Mizrahi and her family recently emigrated from Castro's Cuba to New York City. Just when she's finally beginning to gain confidence in her mastery of English and enjoying her reign as her neighborhood's hopscotch queen, a horrific car accident leaves her in a body cast and confined her to her bed for a long recovery. As Ruthie's world shrinks because of her inability to move, her powers of observation and her heart grow larger. She comes to understand how fragile life is, how vulnerable we all are as human beings, and how friends, neighbors, and the power of the arts can sweeten even the worst of times.
Ruthie Mizrahi and her family moves to the United States of America for a better life after her family escaped Castro's regime in Cuba. She doesn't like being in a remedial 5th class because she people make fun of her. Ruthie's only friend in class is Ramu, a boy who moved from India and also doesn't know English that well. Ruthie doesn't give up and eventually is switched into a regular English class.
Her parents work very hard to provide a better life for Ruthie and Ruthie's brother Izzie and to live the American dream. Life is tough but they have each other. Sometimes her parents miss Cuba but Ruthie loves being in the United States. Ruthie always thought that if she works hard, she can accomplish anything until the day of the car accident.
When Ruthie ends up getting into the car accident, it was hard to read. Her family was driving on a family trip to Staten Island and everyone was so happy. Then the next thing you know, the accident occurred. Everyone is bleeding, Ruthie is stuck in the car with a missing go-go boot and her leg hurts.
Ruthie ends up struggling in a body cast with a fractured right leg for about a year trying to heal. People get frustrated and some don't treat Ruthie the same. Ruthie blames herself for wanting so much and should have been happy being Miss Hopscotch Queen of Queens. She thinks that is she wasn't so selfish, none of this would have happened.
Ruth Behar takes her own life experience as the inspiration for Lucky Broken Girl, which is announced in the acknowledgments of the book. Behar describes in a realistic and honest voice about what a child feels when they immigrate to a new country and how they try to assimilate. Most of the time, we read and hear stories about adults immigrating. But what about children who are naive and have the sense of innocence? Ruthie wants to enjoy her life as a kid and wants to learn to become a better person. It's hard for her to make friends when kids ridicule her for not knowing as many things. Reading an immigration experience through a child's POV provides a new perspective.
Even though Ruthie is bedridden, she has a tutor visit her a few times a week to keep her updated with her education. A new neighbor, Chicho, shows her how to use paints to create art. Not only does she share her culture and religion with us but Ruthie doesn't give up. Even though Ruthie is headstrong, she succeeds in everything she puts her heart toward.
Ruthie doesn't see the world based on people's race and ethnicity. She embraces what New York has to offer! The innocence of a child is seen in this novel and you can see how she befriends people who are Mexican, Indian and even Belgian. Her letters to people at the end of most of the chapters are inspiring and show they she has hope. She addresses them to Frida Kahlo, God and Shiva. Ruthie welcomes everyone with open arms.
Lucky Broken Girl is a wonderful book about family, immigration, culture, hope and so much more. It's a wonderful middle grade novel for all ages.

We Make Custom Window Guards Ornamental or Stock
Check out the photos below of a high end decorative window guard
project !
This high style project allows for premium security without looking obtrusive. Quality hand made elements with premium materials allows for high strength with a stylish feel. The units are custom designed and made specifically for each window. They are mounted to the building with extra long security bolts that require a custom tool to remove. Interior window guards have a quick release locking system for fast egress from building. Several options are available based on window size and design.
This is an example of one of our custom window guards made to fit a window in a sold oak door. The client installed the guard on the door without painting the metal. Instead he clear coated it to retain the brushed metal look. Details of its construction methods are described below. Custom paint or powder coat would add about $75 to the cost of the project. This simple design allows protection without looking to overbearing.
Our CUSTOM WINDOW GUARDS are made of solid steel, square or round stock, to meet the level of security you want. Many decorative styles of scroll or other added elements will add a touch of elegance and security to your home. They can also be permanently mounted for increased security in industrial applications. The creation above is about 20x20 inches square and costs about $225 before painting or powder coating.
Scroll work can be added to any window guard
This custom window guard has three heavy duty hinges to make opening easier. Egress is safer and faster using hinges for larger units like this 4 foot square window gate. The unit weighs in at over 100 lbs and is super strong. 15, four-inch lag bolts hold this beauty to the wall.
At Wisconsin Iron Works, we want to help you keep your property safer. Our CUSTOM WINDOW GUARDS will surely provide some great options.
We can design and make a security bar system for all of you windows or doors. The solid steel, decorative security window units can provide a great deterrent to any thief that may want to break in and steal your possessions or equipment. At the very least, our entry guards will slow down any attempt to gain access to your property. Our products are great for use in your home as secure ornamental decorations, or for strong heavy duty commercial needs.
Each project or item is handcrafted to strict specifications and quality standards. Hand bent out of high quality American Steel and welded by experienced artisans. Your window guards will be a work of art.
All welds are finished ground and filed for a smooth, clean look. You determine how intricate your guards are designed. We recommend our zinc plating and double powder coating finish to better withstand the elements that can cause rust and maintenance problems. Lots of different colors and finishes are available.
We have made lots of different items over the years. Many were made for a single purpose or use. Every item that we have produced is still being used, today. We can provide you with references regarding the quality of our work from many of our clients.
Samples of our stock and custom designs will be ready and up on this site soon.

I think is would be great if you haul something in, you put up what it weighed. Like i hauled in a 30ft above ground pool, and it weighed 300lbs. I would like to know what some things weight for future reference. So lets get it started!
I think is would be great if you haul something in, you put up what it weighed. Like i hauled in a 30ft above ground pool, and it weighed 300lbs. I would like to know what some things weight for future reference. So lets get it started!
To many variables, for instance two identical cars same year and model could have 500 lbs or more difference in weight after 10 years one could be rusted away while the other had tons of road tar, grease or mud accumulated underneath, tire wear, jack or spare tire missing.
Yes i agree, but lets say you sell a washer, it weighed 50 pounds, the next guy sold one and it weighted 60 pounds. Then if i went to pick one up and the person wanted some money i would guess that it would weight 55lbs
Car rims- 15-35 lbs
Brake rotors- 15-25 lbs
hard to do a thread like this but I like the idea!
i sense a fish story coming up here
It's not that hard to do and can be a great way to look for reference. I have constantly been using the search options for stuff like this and always come up dry. For instance, I have found a furnace on the side of the road. I hauled it in only as cast (it did not have any sheet metal) and it was 400 lbs. A week later a friend wanted me to offer him money for his, I looked it was the same one. I got 60$ for the other one so I gave him 30$. My point is it will only help.
Cast Furnace no sheet metal about 40" square 400 lbs
275 gal oil tank. about 300 lbs.
4" Dia cast pipe. about 10 lbs a ft. Ex. 10' = 100lbs
Cast iron tub 300 lbs avg.
These are not 100% accurate but they are not too far off
Ever wonder why the members on here buy scales?
5 gallon bucket full of BB copper wire 50lbs
That was surprisingly timely. I needed to know what an average brake rotor weighed. Thanks!
nice thread idea! Get weights of things from all the scrappers who specialize in specific scrap. Then someone compile a list of everyone's answers. It would make an interesting/ informative list.
I still have yet to weigh a computer tower and see if the $4 I am paying is equal to or less than the 25 cents a pound my scrap yard is paying.
"64K should be enough for anybody." - Bill Gates 1981
Average computer tower weighs around 20 LBS.
Hard drives - 30 pounds

Winter Highlighter Tips That Will Make You Glow
With winter chills already in the air and our summer sun-kissed glowing skin beginning to fade at a rapid pace, we need a little pick-me-up so that our faces still look like they're bathed in light even when it begins to get dark at 5 pm. We need to shine like a star once more so that the seasonal affective disorder we all dread will throw us into a depressive state won't be triggered by the lack of illumination in our skin, accentuated by the lack of sunlight turning it all matte and dreary. Fall brought with it the velvety finishes with the dark lipsticks and bold brows. When it comes to winter, I think we all just want to blend in with the pretty little snowflakes we try to catch on our noses.
To look like we have a candle shining from within us, though we hope it's not a Jack-'o- lantern we appear like, dermatologist Jessica Weiser, MD, and makeup artist Kayleen AcAdams are some of the few, who have shared their winter highlighter tips for maintaining a glowing skin look.
The Need for Exfoliation
Most of the time, our skin responds best when it has been cleared of its long dead cells and allowed to rejuvenate. In order to clear up the bits that are no longer among the living, gentle exfoliators come in very handy to reopen any clogged pores and even out the texture of your prized hide.
Exfoliating pads with lactic acid are just perfect for this as you sweep them in a circular motion around your face two to three times a week, for about 5-10 minutes each. Plus, the pads are perfect for those with sensitive skin and will prevent irritation.
Oil it Up
Sometimes slathering on the face oils can help immensely in bringing your matte face back to life. You don't want to look greasy to stay away from using petroleum jelly (unless it's to moisturize skin overnight), but using small amounts of face oil under moisturizer can make a world of difference for how you look.
It will help reverse signs of aging, reduce inflammations, act as an antioxidant, keep the moisture in the skin and plump up the living cells. It's an amazing feat that can be achieved with just a little dab of oil. Just make sure that what you get is good for all skin types.
Shimmering Moisturizer
Using a moisturizer with a bit of shimmer creates a luminous glow that can appear to be coming from under the skin itself. It gives an almost porcelain doll-like look that works great under makeup so that you do not look like a ghoul from Halloween, but instead appear to be a frost fairy. Of course, make sure the product you use is also SPF 15+.
Don't miss: Winter Skin Care Tips
Combine with Mattifier
When you are moisturizing your skin, you will also need to have certain areas look more matte so that the shimmering shine has a stronger appeal on the senses. Using it on the forehead and the corners of the nose frees up every other high point on your face to shimmer in delight, creating an illusion through slight contrast in shine.
Face Duster
You are going to need to use some powder on your face as well to add to the glowing look without particularly making it shine. Light, loose powder is perfect because you do not look sweaty or greasy, but you do look rather full of Vitamin D and pretty.
It will bring down the extra shine on your nose and forehead, leaving your cheekbones illuminated. You don't want to cake on the product, so only apply to a few places on your face. You will thus make sure you look healthy as an ox and pretty as a snowflake yourself.
Makeup Illumination
Candlelit skin can be achieved through using foundation with an inherent shimmer or luminous effect to it. A highlighter can also be used under the eyes, on the cheekbones, down the bridge of the nose and on the Cupid 's bow above your lips so that you have beautiful coverage that catches the light from every angle.
Fat-Heavy Soaps
You may never have considered the fact that your soaps can affect the look of your skin but since you are likely to take warmer showers now in the winter, despite the fact that you should not make it too hot nor have it last longer than 10 minutes, a soap heavy in fat can add a layer of moisture to your skin and keep it looking nice and healthy.
Feast on the Glow
Foods heavy in Omega-3 are perfect to keep your skin glowing, and that doesn't just include the face. Salmon, herring and trout are perfect sources for the oils. Carrots and sweet potatoes are perfect to feast on wherein the beta-carotene they contain ensures your skin stays nice and soft.
Watermelons, cantaloupes and mangoes help protect the skin from sunburns in general and are great for hydrating your body. Vitamin C stimulates the collagen synthesis and gets rid of those wrinkles that just cannot wait to spill the secret of your age. Eating kiwis, oranges, and grapefruits can help save the skin from that kind of torture.
Dark Chocolate is not only heavenly but also associated with softer, more hydrated skin. If you feel like eating something chocolaty, remember that the darker it is the better! That's not to say that combining the dark chocolate with milk won't just make matters better! It's great for your teeth as well as your skin's glow.
While we're talking about dairy products, stick to yoghurts as well if you want your skin and nails to glow beautifully, while the biotic increases nail strength and the protein helps metabolize the fat. Furthermore, skin flare-ups can be avoided by snacking on almonds and sunflower seeds, while radiance can be achieved with leafy greens.

The start of the school year brings all types of supply lists to parents, but the latest twist is the new calculator race. Every year newer more expensive models arrive and this year is no exception.
The TI-Nspire is a mathematics computer disguised as a calculator. The top model features a touch screen and allows side by side comparisons of different ways of working out solutions. Software is available to allow the transfer of information from the TI-Nspire to a home computer or laptop.
I don't know if graphing calculators actually make children smarter, but I am all for anything that engages interest in performing well in math.
Don't forget the apple, for the kid, not the teacher.

It begins by making way.
By stepping on stones,
hopping on rocks.
Finding a rythm to step to
that sees you sure footed,
and without hinderance.
A spontaneous arising
of the path before you.
Step by step.
Stone by stone.
No mind to map out
the next move,
or choose for you
some sordid fate.
Stay close to life
as it presents itself,
where you shall be
richly rewarded,
and want for nothing more
than all you are given.
So each day you go to the river
to play and hop on the rocks.
Once you have learned
how to hop on rocks,
you can hop anywhere,
and so are free to wander.
Still you find yourself
by the river each day,
dancing from stone to stone,
untill you come to know
that place so well
that you become the rock,
and the river,
and the ocean beyond it,
and no longer have any need
to hop on rocks.
Still you find yourself
by the river each day.
Stepping from stone to stone.
rock hopping your way
to nowhere.

bear, and other animals. The Shawnee were to the north and the Cherokee to the south and they did not like the invasion ot their trational neutral hunting grounds.
Settlement: c __ ___ 1767 Powells Valey; He was approached by Dr. Thomas WALKER, who had discovered & named Powell's Valley & the Cumberland Mountains and had secured a large grant of land in the area. He asked Joseph to head a party to establish a `station' (fortified frontier post) in Powell's Valley. Joseph built the station (consisting of five or six strong cabins connected by a loop holed log palisade in a rectangular plan) at what became known as `Martin's Station' (named after him in present Lee Co., VA), on the KY Trace about 20 miles northeast of Cumberland Gap right off the Wilderness Trail. A crop was put in & parts of KY were explored, the post had to be abandoned because of the hostility of the Indians.
Anecdote: __ ___ 1767 Joseph's share of the profits from his Long Hunts was substantial and at the same time his luck at cards (assisted by his bullying tactics at the table) seems to have improved, he succedded in paying off his debts and aquired several tracts of land. In 1767 Joseph & CLEVELAND put in a crop of wheat on Pigg River (now Franklin Co., VA) but were too improvident to fence it in, losing much of the crop to deer. At harvest time they invited in their friends and neighbors to the reaping and provided a fiddler and a plentiful supply of whiskey for their entertainment. In the riotous party all the reapers got drunk and none of the crop was harvested. Joseph continued in this way until SUMPTER & CLEAVELAND moved from the area.
Residence: __ ___ 1773 Pittsylvania Co., VA, USA.
Moved* __ ___ 1773 Pittsylvania Co., VA, USA; Joseph took his family in the fall of 1773 to Pittsylvania Co., Virginia, he bought a tract of land on Smith River and built a home which he named "Scuffle Hill", because of the difficulty with which he scratched a living from his rather rough land. His farm eventuall grew to nearly a thousand acres on the north side of the river extending from Hammack's Branch (near the end of Lanier Rd.) along the river to Rugg Creek (where Rives Rd Extension crossed the river) and north to apoint on a small branch of Mulberry Creek.
War* __ ___ 1774 The Shawnee War erupted and Lord DUNMORE on 25 Augest 1774 commissioned MARTIN a captain in the Pittsylvania militia.

<96> Witness: __ ___ 1776 History: Henry Co., VA, USA; Henry County, created in 1776, was named in honor of the great orator of the Revolution, Patrick Henry, who did so much to overthrow the royal establishment in Virginia. Before the creation of Henry County, counties were generally named in honor of some one connected with the royal family of England or the royal government of the colonies. Formed from Pittsylvania County, the area of the county is 385 square miles and the county seat is Martinsville. Martinsville was named for Joseph Martin, an early settler and Revolutionary War soldier who represented Henry County in the General Assembly in 1791, when the town was established. Martinsville was incorporated as a town in 1873 and became a city by court order in 1928. Its area is 11.2 square miles. Parishes of the Established Church 1607 1785 When the first English settlers came to Virginia in 1607, they followed the familiar patterns of the Church of England and established parishes that served as local units of ecclesiastical and community organization. The General Assembly established parishes and fixed their boundaries, often at the same time that it created or altered county lines. On January 16, 1786, the General Assembly passed Thomas Jefferson's Bill for Establishing Religious Freedom, ending stateenforced support for the formerly established church and its parishes Camden, 1776 1778 Patrick, 1778 1785.
Military: __ Aug 1776 Henry Co., VA, USA; As Capt. MARTIN was in charge of a company of fifty militiamen who were sent to the Holston River country, to help build a fort near the Long Island (where Kingsport lies), and took part in several successful campaigns against those of the Cherokee Towns which had shown hostility to the Americans.

MARTIN was a member of the convention called to orgaize the State of Franklin from the Tennesse lands ceded by North Carolina to the United States but not yet accepted by the Congress. He opposed this move, and is credited with playing a major part in bringing about the dissolution of the State of Franklin, thereby incurring the lasting enmity of his old friend and Governor of the new state, John SEVIER. SEVIER became very hostile toward him because of the part Joseph played in the disolution of the new state, and is believed to have been the instigator of an attempt by a party of about four frontiersmen to see him out & put him to capture or kill him. Joseph learned of this, armed himself to the teeth, and set out to meet the advanceguard of eight or nine of the main party, and on coming up with them drew his pistol and announced that he would shoot the first one of them who moved his gun. The group protested that they had not plans against him, and accompained him back to this station at the Lond Island, where Joseph set out a supply of whiskey for them. The rest of the party was then sent for, and the whold affair ended in a twoday revel.
Note: 01 Jan 1784 Among the records of the Moravians in North Carolina we find 1 Jan. 1784, people arrived in toquo, but Col. MARTIN forbade them to sell their brandy, he constantly urges the Indians not to sell their skins for brandy, but to exchange them for necessities. Many are enemies of Col. MARTIN, on his journeys he has need to be most careful, the only ground for the hatred is that he secured from the government an act of assembly, securing to the Cherokees the land on which they live, and will not allow other people to settle on their hunting grounds.

She was the daughter of Brian WARD & Nancy "Nany'hi"/"GhiGau" WARD Betsy was born c 1758, Cherokee Nation East and was still living ca 1800 on a fine estate at the town of Wakhovee on the south side of the Hiwassee River 50 miles from Tellico Blockhouse [260 miles from Augusta, GA] and was still called Mrs. MARTIN. She lived in a log house fully furnished on a well stocked farm and raised and spun cotton. She and her relatives lived for a time in Chota, a town located where the Tennessee and Holston Rivers meet.

Only a portion of the credit flexibility program required by the Ohio Core will be introduced into Dublin high schools in the fall, assuming the state approves.
Only a portion of the credit flexibility program required by the Ohio Core will be introduced into Dublin high schools in the fall, assuming the state approves.
Dublin school board members voted unanimously June 28 to request a waiver from the Ohio Department of Education to delay implementing part of the credit flexibility program until the 2011-12 school year.
"This waiver today puts us in a good position," Superintendent David Axner said.
Eydie Schilling, the district's director of learning and teaching, told board members the district needs time to look into the test-out option offered through the credit flexibility program.
"We need time to develop consistent tests across the high schools," she said.
The credit flexibility program is part of the Ohio Core program in Senate Bill 311 that raised graduation requirements for Ohio high-schoolers.
The credit flexibility program seeks to offer more options for students to earn high school credits beyond just class time. Schilling said the program also offers the option to earn credits via other educational options, such as internships, independent study or educational travel. Students also may earn credits by demonstrating "competency" in a subject area, or testing out.
"It does open up more options for student learning," Schilling said, noting that it also "provides more ownership for students in (their) education."
The new program also will accommodate different learning styles, paces and interests, she said.
Though credit flexibility will offer some positives for students, Schilling said, some details will take time to work out, including the testing-out portion.
"There are strong details around this option we need to make sure we have in place," she said.
Testing out of a subject area will include more than multiple choice tests, Schilling said, and could include essays, research papers and more. Schilling said consistency for tests across Dublin's high schools also must be established before the test-out option could be instituted in the district.
Dublin high-schoolers will have the option to earn credits through traditional classroom time and other educational options, starting in the fall.
Schilling said the district still is looking into how the other educational options portion of credit flexibility might affect staffing. Teachers will be assigned to students who choose other educational options, such as community service or educational travel.
"It's a matter of matching the teacher and license with the (appropriate) subject and student," she said.
District spokesman Doug Baker said student scheduling currently in place for the fall would not be affected by the implementation of the credit flexibility program because other educational options would occur outside of the classroom.
Waiver requests had to be submitted to the ODE by July 1. According to information on the ODE website, districts will be notified of approval by Aug. 1.
According to Axner, the option of a one-year waiver for the credit flexibility program is recent and came about when the new program raised "so many questions."
