District 1
Bascule's POV
I walk around the square, careless. I'm wearing my best dress. It's white and very short, so it shows off most of my tanned legs. Today, I'm going to volunteer, and I want to look amazing when I get to the Capitol.
The Mayor appears on the stage and starts reading the Treaty of Treason. He then reads the names of the many victors we have had in the past 52 years. I don't pay much attention, I just want the escort to get her ass on the stage and read those names.
Alena Trojan, our escort, shouts with her squeaky voice:
"Happy Hunger Games!" She pauses. "And may the odds be ever in your favour!"
Oh well. I guess she's going to say that every year.
"Ladies first!" She says, and crosses the stage to the girls' bowl. She removes her pink gloves and reaches her hand in the bowl, picking the very first slip she touched.
Everybody's silent as she reads the name.
"Coralie Lucasta!"
A small girl, maybe 12 years old, steps forward. She looks terrified. Didn't finish her training, huh? But as much as I love making fun of scared kids, before she reaches the stage, I scream:
"I volunteer!"
"What? What's that?" Alena says, looking around the square, confused.
I didn't know she was deaf. Maybe she's just stupid.
"I said that I volunteer!" I scream again, as I hit the other people to get on the stage.
"How lovely," Our escort fakes a smile.
The little girl whispers a "Thank you" as I walk towards the stage, but I pretend I didn't hear. When I get next to Alena, she asks me my name.
"Bascule Du Fey," I say, proudly, hoping she would recognize my last name, as my father was a victor 20 years ago.
"How lovely," She repeats, without mentioning my father. "And now, for the boys..."
Excel's POV
"Nigel Rose!" Alena reads.
How about that. My 18 year old brother seems excited as he walks towards the stage.
I'm not going to let him to be the first victor of our family.
"I volunteer!" I shout.
Everyone seems surprised. A bit angry, actually. Usually, when 18 year olds get picked, is better for us, the smaller, not to volunteer. Now they sure think I'll lose.
"A second volunteer," Our escort says, but she doesn't seem surprised at all. "Come on up," She adds, shooing Nigel.
He gives me an angry look as I walk past him. I ignore him and climb up the stage.
"And what would your name be?" Alena asks.
"Excel Rose," I answer her, grinning.
"Wouldn't let your brother steal all the glory, am I right?"
I nod.
Bascule and I shake hands and disappear into the Justice Building.
Shermaine's POV
I was just getting dressed for the Reaping when my little sister, Karabela, walked in my room. Her eyes were red from crying, her cheeks pale and her lips dry.
"Hey, what's the matter?" I asked, closing my wardrobe and taking a look in the mirror. Perfect.
"I don't want you to volunteer," She said, sobbing again.
"But then we'll be rich and we'll live in a much prettier house, because I will win," I answered her, pulling her small body into a hug.
"That's what they all say. But... they don't," She said.
"Look, Karabela, we'll talk more in the Justice Building, ok? I'm going be late for the Reaping, and you know that the Peacekeepers won't exactly love that."
I took her hand, met my parents and we all walked to the Square.
I patiently sit along with the other 18 year old girls. They all seem to be ready to volunteer. I need to be quick, I whisper to myself as our bored escort, Agricola Arius, steps on the stage.
Of course she's bored. She's practically useless, seeing as almost everybody volunteers in this district.
She doesn't say anything, just walks towards the bowl full of girls' names. She reaches in and after 2 seconds, pulls out a slip and reads out loud:
"Alcina Madu!"
A 14 year old steps forward. Before our district even looks at her, I shout:
"I volunteer!"
Everybody nods, approvingly. Of course, I've trained since I was 7. They were all sure that I will volunteer now, on my last Reaping.
"Come here, darling," Agricola says.
I walk on the stage and she asks me my name.
"Shermaine Wilson" I say.
"Great. Now, for the boys...."
Clay's POV
Agricola grabs a slip from the boys' bowl, and reads:
"Barrius Arvina!"
A 13 year old starts making his way to the stage, looking nothing but worried.
"I volunteer!" I scream.
Again, people nod approvingly, just like they did for Shermaine. I also am an 18 year old.
I walk fast and pass Barrius on my way. I don't even look at him. I smirk when I stand next to Shermaine, and before our escort asks me my name, I say:
"Clay Kratnea."
Shermaine and I exchange hating looks as we shake hands. Then they escort us to the Justice Building.
District 3
Menway's POV
I look at my twin sister as we walk towards the Square. Ever since dad died when we were 13, we always looked after each other, but she was the bravest one, the one that would always help me out, because of... well, my bad leg. I love her so much.
The place it's crowded with children and their parents. Our mum is next to our aunt, and they talk calmly. I'm looking at the stage, where Mayor Dumree starts reading the Treaty of Treason. But I'm not paying attention. I look at the kids around me. There won't be any volunteers, my guess.
I didn't notice our district escort. She appeared on stage wearing her usual velvet, ridiculous dress. My sister always made fun of her and said that she's crazy.
"Welcome, everybody! God, I missed you all so much! You look so adorable in your cheap clothes!"
See, that's what I meant.
"Let's choose the lady first, shall we?"
Her heels made weird noises as she crossed the stage. She pulled a slip quickly from the bowl, and read the name:
"Corisse Buzz!"
What? No! My sister looks terrified. They are not going to hurt her.
"I volunteer as tribute!"
The place falls silent. They all look surprised. Corisse starts shouting and pleading:
"Don't do this! I promised dad I'll take care of you! You can't go!" The Peacekeepers carry her away firmly. I'm grateful, because my eyes started to water.
"Come on stage, dear!" Our escort says. "What's your name darling?"
"Menway Buzz"
"Oh, and that was your little sister?"
"My twin."
"Interesting. And now, for the boys!"
She took a slip from the bowl.
"Daunte Cascade!"
Liam's POV
"Wait! I volunteer!" I scream.
Everybody stares. A volunteer in this district is something rare, and TWO volunteers are... Well, something unique. But I did what I had to do. My brother is only 12.
"Hurry up on stage, boy!" Our escort giggled.
I walk fast towards the stage, without looking my brother in the eye. The last thing I need right now is another reason to cry.
"And what would your name be?"
"Liam Cascade," I answer with my voice trembling.
"Okay then. Our tributes from District 3!"

Day 1: The Bloodbath
Let the 53rd Hunger Games begin!
Mars' POV
I bit my lip as my metal plate started lifting. I'm so nervous. I don't want Baez to watch me die.
I open my eyes. Where am I? It looks a bit like the pictures I saw from other district. District 11, maybe. The golden corn, known as the Cornucopia, is surrounded by cheap and old-looking houses. And of course, there are the supplies. Clothing, weapons, food, water containers. Damn it, I need to get that spear.
I stare as a girl explodes alive on her metal plate. Oh God. Did she try to run or...
The gong sounded. And I wasn't paying attention! Damn it! Somebody took my spear! I run fast until I reach the Cornucopia and grab the first weapon I see. A sword. I'm useless with a sword! I throw it and accidentally hit the back of the boy from 5. He falls, but I'm not going to stay around mourning his death. I grab a trident. Much better. I run and pass the houses, and get lost in the beautiful forest around them.
Detria's POV
I don't know what to do! Shall I take my chances and go in for some supplies, or go to the safety that are the woods?
I decide to go in for a backpack. As I run, I trip over something. Oh God. It Jake's dead body. Tears start dripping down my cheeks. What was I thinking? I need to get out of here.
And I run away.
Alice's POV
"No!" I scream right before the boy from 1 shoved a sword in Josef's back.
I fall on my knees. Let them get me. I just don't care anymore.
The boy that killed Josef starts laughing at me, and calls me "weak". I don't know if I'll feel guilty about it later, but right now seems to be the right thing to do.
I grab a bow and an arrow and shot it at the boy's neck.
I turn around and see an axe flying in my direction. It goes black.
Hunter's POV
Come on. I can do this.
I start running for a pack, or a weapon, or anything. But I have to stop because the boy from 8 and the boy from 11 start batelling with their bare hands. I try to go in the opposite direction.
The girl from 7 throws an axe at the boy from 3. He falls, lifeless. Her eyes are now set on me. She stares like a lioness.
She again throws the axe.
Freya's POV
"Brann, hurry up!"
My district partner holds his sword tight as we run in the woods. Turns out that there are many other houses here, but they all look as cheap and old like the ones around the Cornucopia.
"Let's stop here, I can't run anymore", Brann said, pointing at a small wodden house.
"Okay. But only 'till the bloodbath is over."
He nods and we step into the house. There only is a table and a cupboard in it, and some dirty rugs on the floor. The air smells of fresh bread. It makes me dizzy.
"Do you think there's food in there?"
"There's only one way to find out."
I open the cupboard and see the fresh white bread. My mom used to call it "smooth bubbles in cloud of cream." I smile as I remember.
"I'll try it first," Brann said.
"Are you sure? It could be poisonous."
"I doubt it."
He takes a large bite from the bread and smiles.
"How does it taste?" I ask.
"Like salty milk," He answered grinning.
So we spent the day eating the bread and talking. We were preparing to go to sleep when I started hearing the cannons. Ten. That leaves 14 of us alive. I cuddle up closer to Brann and pray that no nightmares would hunt me tonight.
Excel Rose, Liam Cascade, Jake Brown, Willow Oaks, Carol Velasque, Yamir Snatret, Alice Key, Josef Bruno, Archer Scyth and Hunter Hatch have died in the Bloodbath.
Bascule Du Fey, Shermaine Wilson, Clay Kratnea and Joyon Adourd are sleeping in the houses around the Corncuopia. Needs: nothing.

DAY 2: Staying Alive
Natasha's POV
It's freezing out here...And I'm too afraid to go in one of these houses... Wait, is that a parachute? I start running with energy I didn't think I have. I open it grinning and find a tent, that would protect me in almost any kind of weather, and a backpack containing dried fruits, dried beef, a full water container and a set of throwing knives. I've never felt so happy in my life. Whoever this sponsor is, he or she saved me!
I find a darker place in the forest and put my tent there. I eat some dried fruits and drink some water. I take my knives and look a them, feeling confident.
I was about to take a nap when I heard a scream, followed by a cannon.
Clay's POV
"Who did this to her?" I screamed, pointing at Joyon's lifeless, bloody body.
"Look, I have no idea! You told me to go and find some water, and I did!" Bascule screamed back, her face turning red from the anger.
"Would you stop fighting! We're not the only tributes left in the arena, you know?" Shermaine said, a bit calmly than us.
"Yeah, but I wish we were," Bascule said, giving me a poisonous look.
We went silent for a couple of seconds, but Shermaine kept staring at Joyon. Suddenly, she seemt terrified.
"It was a spear," She said.
"A spear killed her. And except for her, who is the only tribute that uses a spear?" She asked, pointing the obvious.
"Mars Rocca!" Bascule says.
"Oh, that b****!"
"Calm down. I say we make a plan..." Shermaine said, with a wicked look in her eyes.
Menway's POV
I open the parachute, with my hands trembling. Inside, there is a medium-sized backpack. It contains food, water and a knife. I put the rest of the food I had from the Cornucopia backpack in it, then jump from the tree. I continue my journey in the forest.
I finally see the houses. I was about to pass one when I see the boy from 7 near one of them, looking very hungry and holding an axe in his right hand.
Suddenly, a knife flew in his direction, hitting his forehead. A cannon fired. I start running.
Detria's POV
I take my knife from the boy's forehead. I kind of feel bad for it. But he probably would've killed me if I didn't kill him first.
I walk alone for an hour, and decide that I should climb a tree and go to sleep, because it was already getting dark. I was just closing my eyes, but the Panem anthem played, and I am curious. I wonder who died today. The first one to be shown is the girl from 4. A Career. Interesting. Then, the boy from 7 I killed. Only 2 today.
At least I wasn't one of them. I fall asleep soon.
Joyon Adourd and Leon Johannson have died.
The Careers are at the Cornucopia, planning Mars' death. Needs: Nothing.

Meaghan Camburry and Franklin Wong are still at the lake, but hungry. Needs: Food.
Dorthema Havoc found a cave and sleeps there. Needs: Water, food.
Natasha Grey is sleeping in her tent. Needs: Nothing.
DAY 3: The Announcement
Meaghan's POV
"Hey, Franklin, wake up!"
He opens his sleepy eyes and looks at me.
"What's up?"
"What do you mean, 'what's up'? The Careers are after us!"
He doesn't look concerned.
"They are after all tributes. Come on, what are the chances that they find us?"
"Well, we're at the only water source in the arena. The odds are pretty high!"
"Please, don't yell."
I sigh. "Sorry, it's just... I'm stressed out. I don't want the people from home to watch us die."
"And they won't", he says, patting my shoulder. "One of us is going to win."
"That's the other thing I'm scared about. Just one of us..."
"We'll be okay, alright?"
That's enough for me not to worry about it right now...
Mars' POV
"So what's your name?"
I got a note from my mentor saying that I should ally with someone. I found this girl a few minutes ago. She is from District 3 and seems trustworthy. And she's not a Career. That's good enough for me.
"Menway. What's yours?"
"Mars. Mars Rocca."
"And what supplies do you have?"
"I had a spear a while ago. But now I have three tridents. Two of them are back at my shelter. I can show you if you want."
She nods, but remains quiet. She doesn't want to talk. Good. Neither do I. But... I'm dying to ask her some questions.
"So how's District 3?"
"Not as pretty as District 4," She answered.
I smile. I kind of like her.
Bascule's POV
Clay removes his sword from the girl's body as a cannon fires. I think she was from District 11.
"Fool... She hid in a cave," Shermaine says, laughing.
"Yeah, fool..." I say, not really paying attention.
"What's bothering you?"
"Nothing... It's just... Sitting around in a cave won't help us find Mars."
Suddenly we hear a strange sound. An ugly black thing with wings that are thin and leathery. Even more animals of this kind appear, with hungry looks on their faces.
"Bats!" Clay says, and starts running out of the cave.
But he trips and falls. I run and try to get out of the cave. Both Shermaine and Clay are screaming and begging me to come back. But their bodies are already covered in bats.
"Goodbye. And I'm sorry," I whisper, and run without looking back as their cannons fired.
What am I going to do now? I don't have allies. I don't stand a chance against Mars. Or maybe I do. We'll see tomorrow.
As I walk, I see a tent. I throw my mace at it, and easily a cannon fires. Well, that was easy.
Claudius Templesmith's voice filled the arena.
"Attention, tributes. May I congratulate the 8 remaining tributes. Also, there will be a Feast tomorrow, at the Cornucopia. Each of you need something desperately. If you will to put up a fight, we can guarantee you that special item. Good night and may the odds be ever in your favour."
DAY 4: The Feast
Franklin's POV
"Meg, you know we'll have to go."
She remains quiet, staring at the lake.
"But I don't want to. It's just a bloodbath. We can manage without it."
"Look, I'll know what to do. I'll go at the Cornucopia and you'll remain hidden. If I need help, you'll be there. Nothing bad will happen to us this way."
I kiss her cheek and we both walk to the Cornucopia.
We stay hidden behind one of the old houses. Nobody came to pick up their pack, I see. There are 6 packs on the tables, each having a number on them. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9. I hug Meaghan and start running.
Well, that was a mistake. I grabbed my pack and accidentally push the pack with "5" written on it off the table. The girl from 5 must've thought I want to steal it, because there she is, holding two knives in one hand and two in the other. She throws the first one and I use my pack to protect myself, but the second one hits me in the leg. I fall, but I don't scream for Meg. She'll die if she'll come. I can't risk it.
The girl throws one last knife to my head.
Menway's POV
"No!" A girl ran from behind a house, screaming, as a cannon fired. She was filled with anger and attacked the girl from 5, Detria, with her harpoon. She was clearly blinded by revenge. Detria started running to get her pack, but Meaghan threw her harpoon at her, piercing her stomach with it. Then, in a fit of rage, when she had Detria at her mercy, Meaghan smashed her head into a rock. Another cannon goes off. Meaghan kissed a body of a boy on the forehead, then took her pack and ran.
Mars starts running towards the wodden table. What? What is he doing? We haven't talked about it! He makes a sign with his hand in my direction, telling me to stay hidden.
The girl from 1, Bascule I think, appears from another house. She holds two axes in her right hand and another in her left one. Mars was clearly expecting it, because he jumped when the first axe flew, protected himself with his trident when the second one flew. I can't stand it. I run in their direction, wanting to protect Mars, but then another axe flew. Before I could even think what to do, Mars threw himself in front of the weapon. He falls.
It's his stomach. He's bleeding. I start screaming and crying.
A very weak Mars throws his trident at Bascule, hitting her chest, and her cannon fired. I kneel next to Mars.
"Why did you do that?" Tears start dripping down my face.
"Because I'm not one of them... I'm not a Career... I actually care about other people." He pauses. "Especially you."
I try to say something, but all it's heard are hiccups from my crying.
"Shhh. Don't cry. Win this thing for me, Menway."
He closes his eyes and a cannon goes off. I try not to cry, but I can't. The pain is tearing me appart.
"Attention, tributes. Because today is the Birthday of President Snow, there will be a... rule change. The four remaining of you can win, but only if you all make it through the worst day you could imagine. You'll have to drink the blood of the tributes you killed, from a river. And I'll let you discover the rest. Congratulations, and may the odds be ever in your favour."
Day 5: The Victors
Freya's POV
"Hey, put me down! I'm not dead!" Brann screamed.
"Be quiet!" I shout at him.
They must've given us some sleep syrup in the hovercraft, because we wake up in a whole diffrent place. A much... scarier place.
"Where are we?"
And that wasn't Brann saying it. A young girl with black hair and a metal leg appeared next to us.
"I don't know. Who are you?" I ask her.
"I'm Menway Buzz, from District 3."
"And who is she?"
A girl with blue hightlights that match her eyes was laying on her back on the cold ground of the cave, staring at some point far away.
"She's Meaghan, from District 9. And who are you? I haven't seen you in the arena. Maybe in the training center."
"I'm Freya Nuelli and this is Brann Clatch. From District 6."
"Well, I guess we're in this together, right?"
We nodded but Meaghan still didn't move. She kept staring, without even blinking.
"Is she dead or something?" Brann whispered.
"On the inside," Menway said wisely.
I start looking around the place. Yes, it's a cave for sure. There isn't much light here. Actually, it's because of Brann's flashlight. It's the only thing they let us keep from the initial arena.
"God, I'm so thirsty!" Brann moaned.
"I think I hear something. It's a river!" Menway said excitedly, grabbing the flashlight and pointing it at the place where she heard the sound from.
"It's definetly.... liquid. But why is it red?"
Silence set between us. I remember that Claudius Templesmith said something about drinking blood... of the tributes we killed. Something is not right. Brann and I didn't kill anyone.
"Well, you didn't think they will make a special river for each of us, right?" Menway asked, reading my thoughts. "I didn't kill anyone either. She's the only one who did."
She pointed at Meaghan. We stared at her.
"Please don't tell my his or her name. I won't be able to drink this after that." Brann said.
"Wait, don't do this! Can't you just wait a little longer? I'm sure we'll find another source of water. I'm going to find one right now. Anyone coming?"
"Freya, you do realize that we'll have to stay together, right?"
"Right. But... what do we do with Meaghan?"
Brann shruged and said:
"She'll have to walk if she wants to live."
"Let me handle it." Menway kneeled beside Meaghan, and whispered with a sweet voice. "Meg, he would've wanted you to win. I know how it's like. Losing someone you care about. In the arena."
Meaghan closed her eyes, breathed heavily and got up. Menway smiled at her and helped her walk.
"I'm tired. There's no other source of water!" Brann said, after we walked for about two hours. "We'll have to drink it, Freya."
"Don't worry, I'll go first."
I close my eyes and refuse to watch. "How does it taste?" I ask him, like I did when we first entered that house.
"Like salty copper."

Brann's POV
It was horrible. Especially after the batteries of the flashlight ran out. Those things there... I can't even describe them. Drinking blood was the easy part.
But we made. We all survived. Freya, Menway, Meaghan and I. We won The Hunger Games.
But after this day, I wish I hadn't...
Special thanks
Kind of weird, these Games, right? But I wanted more than one winner this time. Make more people happy, you know?
I would like to congratulate:
- Robin040197 and his tribute, Brann Clatch of District 6;
- J McAtee and his tribute, Menway Buzz of District 3;
- I Want Seddie 2 Happen98769 and his/her tribute, Meaghan Camburry of District 9;
- Thena.airice14 and her tribute, Freya Nuelli of District 6;
For winning the 53rd Hunger Games!

Take a BreakEdit
Before you dash into revise-story land, take 2 weeks to a month off from writing. Don't just do that, pretend you are not a writer. Don't talk about the story or start a new one or make plans for revisions in advance. Don't do anything related to the story during the break. That way, by the time you're ready to get back to the story, your proudness of having completed the first draft will have faded away, allowing you to detect every mistake.
==Fixing the PlotEdit==
Plot holes are the main source of plot problems. Plot holes are, according to the google definition are, "inconsistent or impossible events in the story." If your character is driving a car in a story that takes place in 1878, there's a plot hole. If your obese character is somehow able to fit through a sewage pipe, there's a plot hole.
How do you fix them? Read through the entire story in one sitting, but do not edit anything. Instead, open a word document and make a list of all the holes you've noticed. Additionally, write an outline detailing all the events in the story. In the outline, note any events that are the result of previous events. That way, you will not only find additional plot holes, but also determine if there are any scenes that don't help the story move along. Once you have all the plot holes noted, do not fix any, as when reading thorugh, you need to read like you're a reader and not a writer. There will be time for that later on.
Fixing the CharactersEdit
So, you know the issues your plot has? Good, because now we're onto the next step: characters.
Read through the story in one sitting again, also without editing, listing the behavior of the character's, from what they like and dislike to their quirks in the opening pages. Think of how they behave in the start as the rules of what they do throughout the story. See if they violate these rules without explanation. Lastly, note any development that the characters undergo, and see if any of these 2 problems occur:
- The characters don't change or change completely.
- The characters' change is not explained.
Be sure characters change in someway or another over the course of the story. Perhaps they conquer an internal weakness or reach a goal they wanted to reach. How they change is up to you, but be sure that they change in a way that is explained clearly. Afterall, character development is half of what makes the characters in fiction so compelling.
Fixing the DialogueEdit
This is much easier to fix than the others. Read through once more and note how the characters speak. Again, we're only listing problems, not fixing them. Be sure they speak in that way throughout the story, unless changing how they speak is part of the character arc. Also, be sure the characters speak in a unique way. Perhaps they use slang from a profession or place, or have a lower or higher diction than most do.
Fixing ExpositionEdit
Exposition is any backstory that is important to the story. Without it, the audience will be unable to understand the story or characters. Be sure that the exposition is given more through image and action rather than dialogue.
For reference to good exposition vs bad exposition, although I don't often do this, we're going to use a movie as an example. Let's suppose in a movie, such as in Signs, the backstory involves the main character losing his wife in a car crash. A lazy example of revealing this would be a voice-over, or some character saying it for no reason. Instead, Manjor Shymalan reveals this by showing a shot of a photo of the main character sitting next to his wife. Then we see him waking up by himself in a bed made for two. It is quick, and lets the audience guess what happened rather than telling them.
After Finding All the ProblemsEdit
Did you forget back then when I told you not to fix any problems until you've noted all of them? Well, since you've made it this far, time to fix it all! Look at the list of all the problems you've found, and start fixing them in the ways I described above. Once you've fixed every problem you found in the previous readings, go back and repeat this cycle several times. The number of times you'll need to do this will always be at least 5, but it should be more if you're writing a longer story, or if it is filled to the brim with characters and subplots.
A Final NoteEdit
Lastly, do not rely on the writer's workshop to improve stories. It can help to some degree, but since it is based on people's personal thoughts, it could risk you doing "revisions" that pander to what genre or tone people enjoy personally. Just ask for the thoughts of one or two people, determine any good advice that those 2 give, and leave it at that.
Creeper50 out now. Bye.

I gotta tell ya, with all the hubub about field goal snaps and holders and all I was pretty worried.
Did you guys see that on the replay? V hit the side of the goal post and it kissed in like a bank-shot of sorts.
How fitting of an end is that? Our defense is just playing out of their minds right now. PLEASE, PLEASE show the press conference. I want Lewis have to eat his words on TV. Mmm mmm good nothing taste better than a little crow.

Peyton talking about how many people flipped the Colts off while they were in the bus.
Shows how decent that town is.

Ravens got away from the run game and that ultimately killed them. Colts defense played another good game.
By the way, mad props to Dom Rhodes. He was key, running the ball late in the game.
And congrats to Dallas for his sick completion which more or less sealed the game.
Oh, I can't wait for the Pats!!!
Let's go Pats!
Bunch of a bitter fans got what was coming to them. Shannon Sharpe of all people just made a great point, the Ravens D, the best in the NFL, couldn't get the ball back when it counted, but Peyton, arguably the best in the NFL, completed the Clark pass when we needed it. Very good point.

Oh man was that ever great!!
I think it was a blessing in disquise that our starters weren't rested the last couple of games of the regular season this year. Resting our starters has hurt us the last two years in the playoffs. I still can't believe the difference in our defense, its like a switch got flipped!
Dallas Clark>Tony Gonzalez
Congratulations on a hard fought victory.
Not that I actually need to defend B-More, but making a blanket statement like the one above is on the same level as fans making generalizations about Indianapolis because of the brawl. Believe it or not those fans do not represent all of B-More
Yeah, not all, but a lot just seemed like bitter ********, I should have edited in not all but a lot.
But, I realize it's not all, but I'm kind of just letting out my steam, sorry if it offended you.

Did not offend me at all, hell if I ever get a team that is able to make it this far I would celebrate just as much.
Enjoy the win. You guys earned it.
I picked the Colts pre-season to win the SB, then before the playoffs I picked the Chargers. Now Im really in a bind
Congrats to the Colts for winning a game I didn't think they could win.
It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

What options are there for facial hair removal?
03 July 2013Whether you are a man or a woman, excessive facial or body hair can be the source of severe embarrassment luckily there are many ways to deal with it. Heredity, hormones and even some medications are the main culprits that cause women to have hair growth from the upper lip to the chin and around the face, says Dr Jitka Lom of Express Health and Skin Care in Guam.When people just have hereditary facial hair, it's easily treated with removal like face wax, or with laser, Lom says. If you have a hormone imbalance, it can be treated. When it comes to removing unwanted hair, those who want to avoid temporary measures can turn to laser treatment. According to Dr Lom, it is the gold standard for hair removal anywhere on the body, particularly on the face. She added: The reason it works so well is because it destroys hair follicles. All the other methods of hair removal just remove the hair from the follicles. The Harley Medical group specialises in removing all kinds and colours of hair. The process is incredibly effective and, with regards to pain level, is no worse than waxing.

I would like to wish my unique niece Maya a Happy 5th Birthday! Talked to her last night and she proudly said, "Today is my last day being 4!"
I took her and Ava to the Belle Isle Nature Center this weekend and Maya fell in love with this frog. She wanted pictures of her hugging it...
...and doing whatever this is.
Typical Maya. Please notice all of her rings; one of her favorite fashion accessories. More is more is her philosophy.
We had a great weekend together, and hopefully more pics, videos and stories will make it to the blog soon. For now, enjoy my attempts to get a family pic.
I had no idea these three were in cahoots against me. Story of my life.

Actually, it's not the topic or headline of her lame article that gets my panties in a twist, because, yeah, there ARE ideal husbands. (And I don't think that's an oxymoron. I was just being cute.) But a list of ideal traits for a husband from a priest? That's all you can come up with Maureen? The list is fine, but really, you get paid for top 10 lists? On an Op-Ed column? No commentary? No insight? You dated Michael Douglass or something. Shouldn't you have something jaded and cynical to say? Or go for the supportive vibe because God knows if you sass what a priest says, you're just asking for a one-way tix to H-E-double hockey sticks.
In WAY more interesting and opinionated news, I talked to Neighbor and we're being Neighborly again. He realized what an ASSHOLE he was being and apologized. So now we're friends again. It's weird to be friends with someone you want to rip clothes off of you're kind of attracted to but actually don't have that much in common with. I'm kind of like, if we're not going to have sex, what's the point? But then if we did have sex, it would be over very very quickly. Just like all those other guys I got involved with without really knowing and only had the physical connection to keep us, uh, connected. Ultimately, I really am looking for the this (thanks Moe) and we'll just have to see if Neighbor is that. It's not looking likely, given the behavior, but I'm willing to check it out for a little longer. Nothin else to do.
The good news is I don't have to give up rent control. Yay me.

Cambiasso eyes semi-finals
By Patricio Figueroa
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Esteban Cambiasso is expecting Argentina to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup.
Esteban Cambiasso is expecting his Argentina side to reach the semi-finals of this summer's World Cup.
The Internazionale midfielder is already in Argentina preparing for the tournament, where he expects his nation to finish in the top four.
"We know very well that we have a big responsibility because we are representing Argentina," he said.
"Now we have to be intelligent and use these days to rest and recover so that we are in perfect condition for the competition.
"It's very difficult to say which teams are going to be in the final but what I am sure of is that Argentina are going to reach the semi-finals and that we are going to be among the top four positions."
Meanwhile, Cambiasso has spoken of his delight at being selected by Jose Pekerman for the tournament in Germany.
"I am very happy to be in the list of 23 players, that is something that everyone wants and it feels like it's a dream," he added.

The pair apparently are getting serious with their love relationship with new report claimed the model has moved in with her and they are now living together at her Hollywood Hills home.
They have been dating for sometimes and it appears that they're taking their relationship into the next level. Paul Sculfor, the model boyfriend of Cameron Diaz, reportedly has moved into the actress' Hollywood Hills home.
A source told In Touch Weekly, Cammy and Paul "have been spending every night together. He doesn't have a house in LA and Cameron doesn't mind him staying with her. When he dated Jen Aniston he used to stay at hotels, but Cameron likes him a lot and always wants to be around him." Cammy herself according to the publication paid $1.5 million for the home, which she purchased and renovated in 2001.
Neither Cammy nor Paul has commented on the report.
Played secretive about their romance, Cammy and Paul were photographed hugging and kissing during an outing in West Hollywood on June 22. She was then seen having a workout with her personal trainer at the gym in L.A. on Wednesday, July 2.
Professionally, Cammy could next be seen starring in the drama flick "My Sister's Keeper" which is slated to hit the theaters next year.

Credit Card Center Advertiser Disclosure†
Hoping to buy a house this year. Neither hubby or I know much about the process, just what i learn on here and other similar sites. Which is alot of info at an alarming rate!!! LOL . Someone suggested a USDA guaranteed loan as an option for us. No money down approvals in the 620-640 range. Myfico score is 636 for hubby. Mine is 584 but I have just added a cc and I don't work anyway so don't anticipate being on the loan.....could be wrong??? Anyway the question is....What is a USDA guaranteed loan? I know they guarantee the loan if it defaults, BUT do we also have to go through approval processes with lenders as well as the USDA process...does the usda process itself approve us for a mortgage? What out of pocket costs are involved? downpayment? appraisals, inspections? are they stricter or more lacking in the USDA process? Sorry for so many questions....and thanks in advance for the replies!
There are two different types of USDA loans... You can do a search on boards about the differences.
The area you are looking at homes in has to be an approved area, which you can find on their site of the areas. Your income has max values you are allowed which you can also find on their site.
All loans have advantages and disadvantages according to each individual.
In your peticular case I couldnt tell you what the advantages are as I do not know all your circumstances. The biggest thing that stands out from the limited information is you wont qualify for a conventional loan, and if you did your scores as low as they are your rates would be substantially higher. Comparing to FHA you wont have the UPMIP and the monthly MIP that you must pay for at least 5 years and possibly longer until your home is at a 78%LTV. Also with FHA you have to pay 3.5% minimum down payment. USDA does have MI but it is a much smaller number compared to FHA.
What the general advantage is, will accept lower scores, rates are competitive, minimal to no down payment needed, and MI is much cheaper compared to FHA.

CLARK FREEPORT ZONE, Pampanga – A ranking government official defended
today the 10-day working visit of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
saying the trip produced "results" and was far from the "useless
junket" yarn critics have hurled against the Chief Executive's latest
trip abroad.
Deputy Spokesperson Lorelei Fajardo said that the amount of pledges
and investments from investors in the United States proved that the
President's working visit was "very productive."
"In New York alone, she (the President) had seven business calls from
big companies. In fact, there is a potential of 15,700 additional jobs
that were committed by these companies – two of which are world
renowned fruit grower Libby's and electronics firm Texas Instruments,"
Fajardo said.
"And then there is this additional investment potential where the
country may earn up to US$ 560-million aside from the pledges from
Filipinos overseas of aid for the victims of typhoon "Frank,"" Fajardo
She pointed out that the talks the President had with US government
officials specifically US President George W. Bush further
strengthened the already solid ties between the two countries as well
as hastened the passing of the long awaited Filipino Veterans Bill to law.
"So hindi useless ang trip ni Pangulo dahil marami siyang naging
accomplishement dito sa trip sa US," Fajardo said.

Hey Everyone, another new story. I know, I'm crazy. This is another dark one, so be warned. No worries though, like all my stories it will have a HEA. Just a note: Someday, Somewhere is done but there is a sequel coming. Everything else will be updated soon! Enjoy this!
Warning: This chapter contains themes of domestic and sexual violence.
I sat waiting to hear the front door open or for my cell phone to ring. It was nearly two am and Joe hadn't come home or called yet. It was the fourth time this month that he'd done this and it was starting to piss me off. All the harping he did about me settling down and becoming a good 'Burg housewife and then he doesn't even come home when I do find the time to cook him dinner.
Before we'd gotten married Joe promised that he accepted my career choice and that he was fine with me being me, and not some perfect 'Burg wife. He said he didn't care that I wasn't interested in having children yet. He was being so great that I'd tried to compromise. I cooked dinner once in a while, I did laundry. Nothing seemed to be enough though. Joe was constantly bitching at me to quit my job and stay at home full time. If it wasn't that it was kids. His Grandma Bella wanted to see Joe's babies before she died. Yikes, that woman was likely to outlive us all anyway.
It was enough to drive me crazy, but then we had good days and the bad days didn't seem all that bad anymore. Until another came along to remind me. Maybe I was just being too sensitive. Work wasn't going well. I'd had an amazing number of embarrassing captures lately that made me feel like an idiot. To top it off Ranger wasn't really speaking to me. This thrilled Joe to no end but made me feel like shit.
Ranger hadn't voiced any objections to me marrying Joe; he'd acted normal until a few days before the wedding when he took off on some super secret mission. When he came back I was married and he was distant. It hurt my feelings the first time we'd ran into each other and he'd only muttered a few words before grabbing his skips and leaving the office without saying goodbye. It was just adding another layer of depression to my life.
And now this thing with Joe being late all the time. It was just fraying my already thin nerves. I waited another hour and the door finally opened and Joe came upstairs, staggering into the bedroom like he was drunk.
"What are you still doing up Cupcake?" He crawled onto the bed and nuzzled my neck, "God I missed you today." Apparently tonight was going to be a good night.
"Waiting for you." Joe nipped at my neck and unbuttoned his jeans. I moaned under his mouth and ripped at his shirt buttons. I pushed him down and straddled him and he lifted my t-shirt over my head. I got his pants off him and kissed down his stomach until I reached…what the fuck? "Joe?"
"Keep going Cupcake…"
I tried to keep my voice calm, tried not to jump to conclusions but there was really only one conclusion to jump to. "Joe there is lipstick on your dick."
Joe's head shot up and he looked at the perfect pair of lipstick lips encircling the base of his dick. "Oh fuck."
I sat up and pulled my t-shirt back on and got out of the bed. "Seriously Joe? We've been married less than six months! Fuck! I'm having a Dickie flashback." I pulled on some jeans and grabbed my purse.
Joe jumped up behind me and grabbed my arm and flung me back on the bed. He straddled me and held my arms above my head so I couldn't move. What an asshole. I struggled to get him off me but I wasn't strong enough. "Do not compare me to him Stephanie."
"Well you're certainly acting like him. Jack ass. I want you to let me go. And I want a divorce." Joe's hands tightened on my wrists and cried out.
"We are not getting a divorce. You are going to have a baby and quit your job and learn to make a fucking pot roast. Do I make myself clear?" Joe said. I realized then how drunk he really was.
"No Joe. Let me up. We'll talk about this tomorrow." I had no intentions of talking about it. I just wanted him off of me. I tried to get up and when he wouldn't let me I bit his arm. I saw his arm draw back and then snap forward in slow motion. I heard the sickening crunch my nose made as his fist made contact. I screamed in pain. He let go of my wrists and my hands went automatically to my face. Joe reached down and pulled my jeans off of me and then ripped off my panties. Fuck. I tried to get up but he pinned me down with one hand and spread my legs with the other. I tried to scream but there was blood pouring down the back of my throat from my nose.
Joe pushed himself inside of me roughly, not giving me anytime to get used to his size. It hurt and struggling just made it hurt worst. He bent his head and bit my nipple until I felt his teeth sink into my skin. I was choking on the blood that was trickling down my throat. Joe didn't care, he kept fucking me, thrusting into my harder and harder until finally he came and then collapsed on top of me.
He pulled himself up and whispered in my ear, "Not a word. You're already the laughing stock of Trenton. I'll ruin you Stephanie. I'll get Ranger on some made up charge. I'll make your life living hell." He got off of me and I sat up and tried to get a good breath. Joe put on his pants and shirt and opened the door. "Clean this place up. Christ Stephanie." He slammed the door shut behind him and I sat in shock.
What the hell had just happened? I touched my nose gently and almost screamed. It hurt like a bitch. It must have been broken, it was still dripping blood and I didn't know if it would stop on its own. I reached for my cell and called Lula, she answered after a few rings, sounding sleepy.
"Hey Lula, I fell down the stairs, can you give me a ride to the hospital? I think I broke my nose."
"I'm on my way. Wait, where is Joe?"
"Overnight stakeout."
"I'll be there in fifteen minutes girl."
I stood up to put on my jeans and grimaced. I was sore; I walked to the bathroom slowly and cleaned up. There was blood staining my thighs. I grimaced again and put on some sweats. I went outside to wait on the porch, a hand towel held lightly against my nose. A black Escalade pulled up. Fuck. I didn't need Tank seeing this. Lula jumped out of the SUV closely followed by Tank. I waved them off but Tank came over and lifted the towel from my face.
"Shit Bomber. What happened?" Tank asked and helped me into the back of the SUV.
"Fell down the stairs," I answered as he jumped into the front seat and took off. I couldn't tell them what had really happened. That Joe broke my nose and raped me. I had no doubt he would do what he said. Except he wouldn't have to make up some charge to get Ranger with. Ranger would be going to prison for murder if he found out.
"You want me to call Ranger, Bomber?" Tank asked as we drove.
"No! I'm fine. Really. Don't bother him." I realized suddenly that my words were coming out very funny when I talked. Tank gave me a look like I was crazy but didn't take out his cell. We got to the ER and amazingly there wasn't much of a wait. The doctor said the break wasn't horrible but he had to straighten it and they gave me a local anesthetic. It still hurt. He put some type of tape on it and told me it would hurt for a while and gave me a prescription for Vicodin.
Ranger was outside the room when I walked out. I sighed and he looked me over carefully. "What happened Babe?"
"I'm sure Tank told you."
"Tank told me you lied to him." Ranger said with a raised eyebrow.
I sighed, "Ranger it is embarrassing enough to fall down the stairs in my own house, I don't need you adding to that." Ranger nodded and walked me out, Tank and Lula were gone. Cripes. I looked at Ranger. "I need to stop at a 24 hour pharmacy to get my pain pills." Ranger nodded again and stopped at the pharmacy. He waited with me while they filled the prescription and bought me a bottle of water.
"This says to take one every eight hours. No more than three every twenty-four hours." I nodded and popped two, washing them down with water.
"Babe." He put me in the car and by the time he pulled up to Joe's I was concentrating fully on not saying what had happened. I was relieved not to see Joe's car. Ranger carried me into the house and upstairs. He paused when he saw the sheets. "I thought you said you fell down the stairs."
"I did. It didn't bleed much until I laid down." The excuse sounded weak to my ears but Ranger nodded. He sat me down in the chair in the corner and stripped the bed. I told him where to find new sheets. He made up the bed and put me inside and then sat down in the chair in the corner. "Go home. I'm fine."
"I'm going to keep an eye on you until Joe gets here." I wanted to protest but my head was too fuzzy. I lingered somewhere in between awake and asleep for a while until I heard the door open. Joe came in and I heard him swear.
"What are you doing here?"
"Relax. Stephanie fell down the stairs, broke her nose. She called Lula who was with Tank who called me. She should be fine but the doctor said to keep an eye on her." I heard Ranger shut the bedroom door and I tensed as Joe settled onto the bed.
I pretended to be asleep and I felt him brush a light kiss over my lips. It took all of my strength not to cower away from him.
Alright, hope it wasn't *too* dark for you all. Let me know.

Dropdown with Paging Widget: Allow its value to be copied through conditionAsked by deliverygurullc on July 17, 2016 at 01:49 AM
I am selecting and setting up "calculate field values" but my selection is automatically changed to "copy field values" and nothing is happening as per the conditions I have set. I am wondering if having multiple fields with the same label (fields of the conditions) is what's causing the problem but then I read here in the forum that other people are having trouble with this feature too. I am baffled here and need some enlightenment please.
Please advise
JotForm Support
The reason why is because the dropdown paging widget is not supported with conditions as of its current version.
We suggest to use a regular dropdown field instead or you can use auto complete widget so existing options will automatically appear as you type in.
Here's how:
Copy field's value should work with autocomplete.
Hope this helps!
JotForm Support
I have also raised the dropdown paging widget issue to our developers. We will let you know via this thread once this is implemented.
Thank you!
Thanks EltonCris, I'll be looking for that update!
JotForm Support
You're welcome. You'll be informed here once an update is rolled out.
JotForm Support
This has now been implmented.
Thanks Nicholas! Jotform is always improving these days and for that I am a very grateful customer!

Question: A quality control analyst wants to estimate the proportion of imperfect
A quality-control analyst wants to estimate the proportion of imperfect jeans in a large warehouse. The analyst plans to select a random sample of 500 pairs of jeans and note the proportion of imperfect pairs. If the actual proportion in the entire warehouse is 0.35, what is the probability that the sample proportion will deviate from the population proportion by more than 0.05?
View Solution:
View Solution:
Answer to relevant QuestionsSuppose that in a sampling survey to estimate the population variance, the biased estimator was used instead of the unbiased one. The sample size used was n = 100, and the estimate obtained was 1,287. Can you find the value ...An article in the New York Times describes an interesting business phenomenon. The owners of small businesses tend to pay themselves much smaller salaries than they would earn had they been working for someone else. Suppose ...The average value of $1.00 in euros in early 2007 was 0.76. If σ = 0.02 and n = 30, find P(0.72 < x̄ < 0.82). Explain the idea of a bias and its ramifications. Use a random number table to find identification numbers of elements to be used in a random sample of size n = 25 from a population of 950 elements.

We were flirting for a while and he had found out that I liked him through our many mutual friends even though I never told him. And he kept on giving me mixed signals and asked me to comeover and then after I said I wasn't sure quickly cancelled it. He kept on telling me that he likes me and im pretty but he can't date me at the moment and he might after our exams. Once he asked me to sit with him at recess because we didn't talk in person as much as we did online and after 2 days he msged me and said that im not his type... and he didn't talk to me for about 4 months after it and unfriended me on fb until last week he suddenly asked me about how I've been and msged me saying that he doesn't want any tension to be between us and asked me to take a picture with him at school and signed my shirt calling me babe and stuff (last day). But then he went to my friends house and called me asking why I don't love him while I kept on talking to my friend. Now I'm so confused because he didn't even talk to me after then and hasn't even re added me on fb yet...
My old crush suddenly stopped talking to me after a joke a few months ago. He started talking to me last week again and im confused?
I dont know if I should talk to him, wait for him to talk to me or just stop liking him.

When I was in elementary school, morning announcements were done over a crackling PA system--the most exciting part being the unexpected screech of some sort of microphone mishap. So it was a bit of a revelation to me during my school visits in Frisco that morning announcements are now more like closed television broadcasts--each classroom with their own TV or projector. One of the school asked if I would take part in their morning announcements, in a mini interview:
(If you can't see the above movie, go here).
I know I should have looked at the camera more, but it was the first time I have ever been interviewed by a puppet. I couldn't take my eyes off of it!

wow i've been reading your blog just now, you seem so busy! well, i did wish you could have been to Tokyo 2 weeks ago! i think you would have been really inspired by a lot of things in japan and the wedding venue itself as well. I think it was almost the main character of the event. LOL! anyways, if you ever have the time/vacation/money and want to come to Japan, let me know. I know some cheap hostels/hotels and i can show you around for FREE! ;D

Martini Cadet conversion to .357
In the 60's, Thousands of Martini Cadet rifles were sold in the US. Many were converted to other calibers from the original .310. I think .357 was the most popular conversion. I'm trying to find one for a shooter.
Any ideas?
