Chapter 1
Once upon a time there was a girl. She was going to write about Justin Bieber except her teacher told her you couldn't do a report on Justin Bieber. She was VERY, VERY disappointed so she decided to just make up a story, and you are reading it RIGHT now! So let's try this again…
Once upon a time there was a girl. Her name was Mahlon McLeroy. She loved Justin Bieber VERY, VERY, VERY much! Her dream was to meet him, then he would fall in love with her, then they would date, then they would get married and live happily ever after. Now she isn't stupid so she knows that's not going to happen
mso-char-type:symbol;mso-symbol-font-family:Wingdings">L. (It's sad, isn't it?) Well so one day she was just hanging out with her friend who lived in Country Club of the South (by the way Justin Bieber lives there.) So Mahlon and her friend decided to go on a walk. They didn't think about Justin Bieber being there one single bit. As they were walking they stopped to take a little break for some water. And then all of a sudden they see Justin riding by in his car! OMG=http://! IT WAS JUSTIN BIEBER=http://! He looked AMAZING!!!! They HAD to find where exactly he lived so they could meet him and get autographs and stuff. They could also brag to people
"Apple Casual";mso-char-type:symbol;mso-symbol-font-family:Wingdings">J (Just saying…) Alright, now it's REASEARCH TIME=http:// They aren't stalkers they are just trying to find her true love. They were meant to be together. That is why God put Justin Bieber and Mahlon McLeroy on Earth. DUH!
Chapter 2
They SPRINTED home and ran STRAIGHT to the computer. They looked and looked and looked! It didn't seem that hard. But just as they were going to give up they decided to look at 1 more site and then stop. But this web page said his address! If it was correct they would meet Justin Bieber!!! So they printed it out and got ALL of their Justin Bieber things on, got some paper and 2 pens, they got all pretty and left. This was their time. On the way there they were FREAKING out! What would they say? Would he like them? Will he be there? STOP!!! We can't just worry ourselves to death!
Chapter 3
Ok now they calmed down and were off! They were trying so hard not to go crazy. It was so hard. But they did it… "OMG=http://=http://!! WE ARE HERE=http://=http://!! ITS REALLY HAPPENING WE ARE GOING TO MEET JUSTIN BIEBER=http://", Mahlon said. They ran up to his front door and someone opened the door…
It was Justin Bieber!!! They couldn't believe this was really happening. They were almost in tears they were so excited! He just said " Hey guys! I can see you guys are fans. Do you want autographs, pictures, anything." Mahlon ran up and gave him a hug and got pictures, autographs, and even his number!!! He said he had to go so they left. It was so hard not to but they did. Mahlon got his number and texted him all the time. They started dating and finally got married and lived happily ever after!!!

A Missing Mystery
One day in Georgia there was a girl named Lily. She went to GACS and she was in 7th grade. She was at math on a normal, rainy Friday afternoon, but something was wrong. Her best friend Alice, with perfect attendance ever since kindergarten, had been absent all day. It was 12:30, the school had called her parents and they thought she was at school. Alice was missing and no one had heard a word from her.
When they had free period and lunch Lily saw that Alice's parents came to school to talk to the principal and once the police arrived, to talk to them too, even though they didn't get much talking done. Everyone was pretty quiet that day and if you looked closely you could see that Alice's friends had tears drizzling down their faces. But her parents were hysterical. "Wh-Wh-Wheeeerree is my daughter!!!" Mrs. Taylor (Alice's mom) managing to say in between sobs, and Mr. Taylor wasn't saying anything either because the whole time he was trying to hush his wife.
Lily thought she would never see her best friend ever again. And she had to do something.

"I can't do this," I said in a low whisper. I could hear the audience calling my name my heart was racing and I could barely breathe. I could tell my friends felt the same way. Arianna was freaking out and she could not speak and Devyn was hyperventilating. We prayed that God would ease our anxiety so scared out of our minds we walked onto the stage the bright lights shining. This is where it all started in middle school.
Arianna, Devyn, and I practically ran the whole the 8th grade. We were walking down the halls earphones in ears when suddenly Arianna started screaming. Devyn and I turned to see what was wrong "What's wrong Arianna?" Devyn asked. Devyn had bright brown eyes and long wavy black hair. "My song just came on." Arianna said. "What song?" Devyn and me said simultaneously. "Upgrade You by Beyonce" she replied. "You would be listening to Beyonce you look just like her." I said. It was true Arianna had big brown eyes and long light brown hair she was really pretty. But me I had red Beyonce hair like she had in the irreplaceable video I also had pretty brown eyes and long eyelashes to compliment them. Ring-a-ling-a-ling went the bell that means first period was starting "Uggggh science" we all groaned and we walked down the hall to class.
"Heat up the popcorn Jazmyne, the show is about to start!" shouted Arianna from upstairs. "I'm comin' ok give me a second!" I shouted back. Beep!Beep!Beep! went the microwave. I quickly took the popcorn and put it in the bowl and ran up the stairs. "What took you so long," said Arianna greedily reaching her hand in the popcorn bowl. "I was waiting for the microwave beep that's what," "You missed the first three minutes of the show," "I don't care turn on Victorious,". Go heartbeat" said my favorite character Andre from victorious we laughed and laughed and laughed.

"You're an idiot!" Screamed Jared on the bus. "How do you get grounded right before the 3rd largest derby in the state!" "I know, but what do u want me to do? My mom said that I can't go." Christina said. "Go where?" Cried Alexandra. "Chris is-" Jared started. But Christina kicked him in the knee as a warning. Jared kicked her back. "Nothing!" Chris said with a odd smile. Alexandra Telco was the prettiest girl in the whole 10th grade and certainly the nosiest. Christina Alfred, Chris for short, was the nicest and friendliest girl in the 10th grade. She also had an over active imagination. Jared Marz was a jock. He was captain of the Arizona High football team. The bus got off at Boye Street. Chris and Jared got off the bus and walked down the cul-de-sac. "This my stop." Jared said as he walk toward a small house covered in ivy and reddish brown brick. "Talk to you later!" Chris yelled back.
Chris walked toward her even smaller house with stone and passed the Moxley's house. The Moxley Family was a family of three. Mr. Moxley the tall, but stout businessman. Mrs. Moxley was the your everyday average house wife. But there son Mark was the devil in disguise. At the house there were millions of cardboard boxes. As if one cue Mr. Moxley walked into the forest of cardboard. "How y'all doing, Mr. Moxley?" Chris called across the "forest". "Fine" He called back. "Y'all moving?" Chris asked puzzled.
"Yes ma'am." Mr. Moxley called back
"Why some funny looking short guy bought it from us."
"How much did it sell for."
"I don't know but it was a generous offer."
"Alright. Tell Mrs. Moxley I said hi."
"I will." Mr. Moxley said as he turned back into the house with a armload of boxes.

Valentine's Day
By LH7
Chapter One
Never judge a book by its cover.
If you judged this book by its cover you would probably assume that it's a mystery book, right?
If you suspected that, you're wrong.
This is actually a love story. Well, my love story. And Jenny's. And Thomas'. And Ada's. And a few more people's. And it takes place on the love story day itself:
Valentine's Day.
Yeah, this whole book takes place on one day, so now you think it'll be short and boring, right?
Again: Never judge a book by its cover.
Especially this one.
Enjoy, Madison
Madison was braiding.
String, that is. She was making bracelets to sell at school on Valentine's Day, which was tomorrow.
PING! Her phone beeped.
She let go of the string and picked up her iPhone off of the table. She had gotten a text from her friend Jenny. 'Sup? it read.
Nothing, she texted back.
U realize that Vday is in 40 sec, rite? Jenny replied.
Yea, Madison replied.
R u excited?
Y not?
Bcuz I'm not in luv.
I understand i guess.
U do?
I guess
So u dont like NE1
see u 2moro then.
Madison now had a suspicion that Jenny was hiding something from her that had to do with liking someone.
And then the grandfather clock down the hallway chimed loudly. It was now officially Valentine's Day.
Madison picked up her string again and started braiding. She tried her hardest to make herself believe that today was still the thirteenth of February, not the day of love.
She would never admit who she wanted to ask her out today.
She would never even admit that she liked someone. She was good at hiding it, because people just knew her as Madison: the nice, quiet kid who loves football and apple smoothies, not boys.
She wouldn't admit anything.
She tied off the last bracelet and threw it into a pile of about 50 others.
At least there was one thing to keep her occupied with today.
Matt was typing.
He was working on a new story about today. Valentine's Day.
He looked over at his clock. It was four in the morning. He could certainly not fall asleep now. He knew he would have to get up in two hours anyway. So he went back to typing, which got boring after about five minutes. He had been working on his story since midnight. That was definitely enough pages for today.
He clicked out of Word and went online, where he opened Buzz. 40 new messages were awaiting him (because he had not checked it at school, there were a lot of comments that he had missed).
He read through about thirty useless ones about brick tag, eyebrow dances, Caramelldansen, and tables pranks. And then the thirty-first popped up. It was from Jess, his girlfriend. He smiled. It read, Happy V-day every1! Cant wait for Matt and my dinner date tonight!
He clicked like and stared at his computer for a moment, thinking about her. Her profile picture looked back at him.
He couldn't wait either.
Although, there was one other girl that caught his eye. She wasn't incredibly pretty, but she was just so...nice....to EVERYONE! That was hard to do, Matt thought. He thought of her for a moment: her brunette shoulder-length hair and soft, grey eyes. He pictured the way she smiled at him at school, and how she had placed that bandage on his ankle when he had sprained it in third grade....
No. Stop. He had a girlfriend now. He couldn't think that he might possibly like Ada Blackwin.
Jenny was waiting.
She was standing in front of the apartment building, looking at the parking lot. No sign of her mom yet.
This is not like her, Jenny thought. She's a half an hour late to pick me up.
She shivered. Wearing nothing a white polo and a khaki skirt, not a jacket in sight, she was freezing in the October weather. She tried sticking her arms inside of her shirt, but that didn't help. She pulled her arms out just as her mom came around the corner in her red Kia Soul. Jenny had always admired her mom's style when it came to cars. Instead of a minivan, she had a bright and bold square car.
When she hopped in, she tried to ask her mom why she was late, but Maroon 5 was blasting so loud that Jenny's mom couldn't hear her.
"MOM!" she finally screamed louder than the music, and her voice cracked.
Her mom reached for the knob to turn the music down. "What? I couldn't hear you," she said.
"I asked you why you were late to pick me up," Jenny said.
"Oh," her mom said. "I was enjoying a nice organic all-natural smoothie with Mrs. Dolan across the street and I lost track of time, I guess. Oh, dear, Happy Valentine's Day!"
Jenny sighed. "At six in the morning, mom? And thanks," she said.
"It's not bad to be an early riser, Jennifer," she said, and her eyes shifted to Jenny's bare arms.
Jenny's mom sighed. "We have got to get you a new jacket," she said. Jenny's white jacket that she had gotten a few weeks ago had had organic orange juice spilled on it that was apparently permanently staining.
Jenny's mother pulled out of the parking lot and around the corner, and turned onto the highway.
"Mom," Jenny asked. "What time is it?"
"It's 6:30, sweetie," she said.
"Yes!" Jenny should, pulling her laptop out of its case. "They should be posted!"
"What?" Jenny's mom asked.
"Our partners for that mini project that we're doing tonight at six, remember?"
Jenny's mom gasped. "I forgot about it completely! We have to get you all ready.... maybe you'll agree to wear some more mascara than usual..."
"Mom!" Jenny said. "It's just a school activity! No need to get fancy!" Jenny felt that her mom wanted everything to be pretty all of the time. Just for school, Jenny had to curl her hair, wear makeup, and wear earrings that had to have at least three layers of dangles.
"I know, sweetie, but there's never an excuse to not look your best," she said.
Jenny opened her computer and turned it on. She got onto Safari with no problem (for some reason, her computer could connect to a Wi-Fi network almost anywhere) and opened up her school page. The names were posted on the front page.
"Here they are!" Jenny said. "Let's see…ta ta ta…aw…" Jenny felt like her whole shop was shutting down. She clenched her fists.
"What's wrong?" Jenny's mom asked.
"I'm paired with James," she said.
James was angry.
For one thing, he was riding on a crowded city bus with no one to talk to.
Another thing: he was missing a shoe.
Another thing: he was partners with Jenny.
Jenny was his enemy. She had accidentally spread rumors that he had picked his nose in fourth grade (which so wasn't true!), and they had been enemies ever since. They hadn't even spoken a word to each other in almost three years. And there was that little thing haunting him about her....
He couldn't work with her. It would end in an all-out fight.
And he might be kicked out of the group.
Stop it, James, he thought. You might jinx it.
The bus came to a halt outside of the school. "All students of Ashton Middle School may exit the bus at this time," said the voice over the intercom.
James and two other people stood up. One was Thomas, James' best friend (who James had not even realized was on the bus). He had dark hair that hid one eye and a pale complexion. The other was a girl with very long brown hair and green eyes. Madison.
Thomas walked over to James. "Guess what?" he said.
"What?" James said. "No...let me guess....um.....nah, I got nothing."
Thomas smiled. "I think I'm going to ask Madison out today," he said, his eyes shifting, probably making sure that she was not still on the bus.
"Good luck with that, man," James said.
Thomas raised his eyebrows. "Are you saying that you think she'll turn me down?" he said.
James shrugged. Thomas playfully punched him in the arm.
"So," Thomas said. "What's up with you?" They stepped off the bus and onto the pavement.
James looked down. "I'm missing a shoe," he said.
"That's interesting," Thomas said, smiling. "Come on! It's Valentine's Day! Why aren't you happy?"
"Because Valentine's Day isn't a day to be happy about," James said. "It's a day to have happy couples make you envious."
"Ah," Thomas said, a smile coming across his face. "You like someone, then?" He nudged James with his elbow.
James shrugged. "I guess," he mumbled.
"Come on," Thomas said. "Tell Thomas. Please?"
James mumbled something so low that neither of them could understand it.
"What?" Thomas asked.
"Jenny," he whispered.
Ada was thinking.
She was the only one in homeroom that Friday morning, Valentine's Day. Stuffed inside her jeans and jacket pockets were 34 homemade valentines that she was ready to hand out to her friends.
She had already stuck one inside of Matt's locker, along with a fake rose that she had bought on her way home from school at the dollar store. She hoped that when he looked at it, he would recognize her handwriting and ask her out...
...and they would live happily ever after.
But it probably wouldn't happen.
But there was still a chance that it would.
Her thoughts were broken by the sound of someone knocking on her desk. She opened her eyes and saw that many more kids had come in. How long had she been thinking? And then she looked up, and there was Matt and Jess.
Oh, how Ada hated Jess.
And it wasn't just because she was dating Matt....
No, wait. It was.
"Hi, Ada," Matt said. Jess scowled behind him. Ada looked down a little and started crying on the inside when she saw their hands interlocked.
"Hello," Ada said softly. She hoped that she wasn't blushing.
"What's up?" he asked.
She shrugged. "Happy Valentine's Day," she said.
"Yeah, I guess. Listen, Jess and I came here because she wants to give you a valentine."
Ada raised her eyes in suspicion. Why would Jess want to give her a valentine.
Jess smiled (which Ada could tell was totally fake) and pulled a pink card out of her pocket and handed it to Ada.
"Thanks," Ada said, doing her best to look happy. She tried so hard to be nice to everyone...but that was really hard to do when it came to Jess.
"Okay, see you around!" Matt said, smiling. And then he and Jess walked out of the room, still holding hands.
Ada looked back at the pink card. It had one silver heart on the front of it. She opened it up. Inside were five words in neat handwriting:
Back off Matt. He's mine.
She could feel a tear sliding down her cheek.
And then Matt appeared in the door. "By the way, I got an annonymous valentine today. Do you know who it's from by any chance?"
Ada wanted to tell him so bad that it was her, but instead she said, "No."
And then Matt shrugged and disappeared, and Ada buried her face in her hands and let the tears pour out.

"At Lina's," I said with as much nonchalance as I could muster. Lina has been my best friend since we were kids. I peeked up at the stairs, hearing my two sisters climbing down.

I gulped and looked back at my parents. My mother sighed." Just go to bed, we'll continue this discussion in the morning." I nodded and ran upstairs. I knew that that was the end of the discussion. As soon as I got there, Renée and Opalei bombarded me with questions like, " What was that about?" "What did you do?" and "Mom looked like she was going to cry." I shooed them away and went to my room. When I next awoke, the only thing that I could remember from last night was the burning red letters of my digital alarm clock, reading

Chapter 1
Hello. How are you? Well, I'm fine. Anyway this story is about a girl names Jadis Alexa Crest, a black haired, African American girl with a headstrong attitude.
At this moment she was carrying a rather bulky backpack and, from a crack in the thick trees of the forest, a man was watching her.
He was bald, his skin was gaunt, and his eyes were yellowish ant terribly sunken in. He wore a short sleeve polo shirt, plaid shorts, a baseball cap, and strange shoes. It was quite absurd considering it was an unnaturally cold fall day, and your breath could easily be seen, but we aren't at that part yet.
Jadis continued to walk though, not seeing the thin figure between the oaks, with a black cloud above her head. Her mother was a counselor and her favorite thing to talk about was Jadis.
Jadis had tried out for choir, drama, volleyball, dancing, and softball. She had got into swimming, but she couldn't get her hair wet. All that was left was soccer, her favorite sport, but why bother? She hadn't gotten into the other ones.
And school was, sadly, terrible as well. All of the girls she had known and loved came back prissy and snobby, with expensive clothes and even more expensive shoes. Obviously their parents had won the lottery and had gotten a whole bunch of money. So that was that. The girls came back not paying any attention to Jadis.
She sighed and walked down the quiet lonely road, crunching her feet on the fall leaves and humming quietly to herself. She passed the oak tree with the man behind it and felt a sudden rush of cold. Just a breeze she thought and walked on.
She walked into her house and saw her mother at the table drinking green tea and humming to herself. Her father was across from her, drinking Columbian coffee and reading the newspaper. She walked past them without drawing any attention, something she was awesome at and walked into her room.
She patted the head of her knee-high ceramic kitten with ruby eyes and said, "Hi Bartumus."

I walked by a very old Antique house and saw a red flicker then nothing. I was scared so I ran as fast as I could back to my apartment building on 54th street. When I got home the phone rang and so I picked up the phone and there was a recording that said, " Come to your front door and you will receive a message." It was very peculiar that on a Friday night this strange message would appear because two days ago my sister went missing two days ago.
My name is Talia Animat. I am 15 years old. I live in Manhattan, New York in an apartment complex on 54th street.

The Time Travelers
Chapter 1 The Things
The year is 2500. For the last 50 years Mankind has been fighting the Things. Things are these 8-foot tall creatures that are made out of metal, but they are not robots. They still have a heart, a brain, and organs. The Things came out of nowhere with their huge space ships with lasers, tanks with huge rockets on them, and a lot of other explosive weapons. The Things first attacked all of our bases that we had on distant planets. The Things destroyed the bases so fast that we never got the message that they were heading for Earth. When they attacked us they first started on the surface and worked their way down through our tunnels to the Center of the Earth. The Center of the Earth is Mankind's Capital. That is all we have left but we have a plan…

Chapter 1-How it all began
A group of scientists gathered together at a top secret lab at an island only known to top notch FBI agents to see if they could create the ultimate military contraption-a radioactive satellite that sent out a shockwave that would change the minds of terrorists to peace instead of war. After years of planning, it was finally ready to be activated. The scientist who pushed that button to send out the shockwave had no idea that the button he just carelessly pushed almost created Armageddon.
Chapter 2-What went wrong
One of the scientists had a virus and with the futuristic scientific material they were using, it was possible for the machine to get a virus. That virus changed the programming in the contraption to not change terrorists minds to peace, but changes every persons mind on Earth to war. The scientist who pushed that button had no idea what he just did. The group who invented it felt cocky and quite full of themselves because they thought they had just caused world peace-but quite the opposite. That moment a huge and unbelievable thing happened-all of the sudden everybody had the weird and unexplainable feeling of war in their minds- even the most peaceful people felt war-hungry. Of course there was the one outsider left who was the only one who could save the world. And that person was a 2 year old kid who can't talk.
Chapter 3-Armageddon on Earth
So every person was hungry for war, and that meant everybody was in action-getting weapons, and no one trusted anybody but himself or herself, even though they should have betrayed their tampered conscience. The 2 year old kid had no mind of his own, or at least he couldn't think for himself.But someone else could.
Chapter 4-Earth saved by a toddler
The person who actually helped the baby kidnapped him and took him on a jet to the ocean, planning to drown him, but when he dropped him, something strange happened-he was falling out of the skies at an unbelievable speed and he landed on the soft sand, not breaking a bone or getting a scratch-and he toddled over to the button and somehow disabled the satellite and saved the world. That is how a baby saved the world.

"Mellissa!" yelled Ashley as she got out of her car. " I could not wait to see you. I missed you all summer. Where were you, you never answered my texts."
"Sorry, my mom took my phone away all summer. I had to help my grandmother. She had some problems." Mellissa replied knowing it was a total lie.
"Oh, ok. Is she all right now? Were you able to help? You know my granddad was a doctor so I could probably get him to figure out what is wrong with her if you want."
"She is fine now." Mellissa said wanting her to go away. "I don't think I will need any of your help. I have to get to class now, but thanks anyway."
"Ok bye. Well if you need anything you know who to call." Ashley said in a disappointed tone.
As Ashley walked away Mellissa was so relieved. She thought that she would never leave. All last year, Ashley had dressed like her, talked like her, and even died her hair a dark brown to look like her. Ashley was the weirdest person in the. Mellissa was the one every one liked. The one everyone wanted to hang out with. Then there was Ashley the weird one. The one with the nasal like voice. The one who everyone hated.
"Mellissa!" called Alyssa. "What were you doing talking to Ashley? You know her reputation. You don't want to be like that do you? Aren't you going to tell her that you don't like her. She has to know where she belongs."
"She doesn't mean too, but I mean if you dressed and talked like that you would surely want to change. I mean it is not like she is intentionally sabotaging me. Believe me I think it is annoying to, but I mean I kind of feel bad for her."
"There is no need to feel bad. Just get over it. She should be the one feeling bad. She has been the one annoying and bugging you. You have not done anything to her. All you have done is avoid her. You haven't said anything mean." Alyssa said.
"Yah, I guess your right. She does need to know where her place is. I am in my group and she is in her group. Some groups just don't mix. Right?" Mellissa questioned.
"Exactly, who are we to worry about her. Come on, homeroom is about to start." Alyssa said.
Alyssa and Mellissa walked through the 6th grade hallway. They shared some of their old memories from last year. As they got to the 7th grade hallway they both walked into Mr. Ruel's homeroom. Mr. Ruel was known for pretty much nothing. No one knew anything special about except for the fact that he was really boring whenever he teached. Mellissa talked with some of her old friends from last year and met some new ones. Everyone in the class liked Mellissa. Right before the bell rang Ashley came in. Ashley the most annoying person in 7th grade in Mellissa's homeroom. Mr. Ruel got up and checked everyone off and then said the thing that Mellissa was scared of the most.
"Now class, I know all of you probably want to sit next to your friends and talk, but in my class there are always assigned seats, always. I put all you names in a hat and then pulled them out to see which table you would be at. I am going to put the paper up and feel free to look at it. These seats will start tomorrow." Mr. Ruel said.

It has been two months since they last came. I haven't been the same since. They did something I just know it. They didn't say who they were and they were wearing masks. I don't really know how to describe them to you. They wore all black and like I said they had masks on, ski masks to be specific. They were wearing black gloves and black shoes. As soon as I saw them I blacked out. I know what your thinking. You think that I'm talking about terrorists or something. You're wrong they were nothing like terrorists. If they were they would have shot me instead of doing what they did. They transported me somewhere else. I don't know how they did it. You wont believe what's happened. That's why I'm writing this. I don't want people to think that I'm crazy. I hope that you will believe me. You will at least stay and finish this book wont you? Of course I will have no way of knowing what you will do. Choose wisely for what I'm about to tell you will change you forever.
Chapter 1
I woke up on the floor. That was probably the first thing that I noticed. I was cold uncomfortable and stiff. I seemed to be inside of a room of some sort. The floor was some kind of material that I couldn't define. I sat up and looked around. The walls and floor were a sort of shiny white material. It was almost springy. I stood up to see that there weren't any doors, but that there wasn't a ceiling either. I walked around the entire perimeter until I came to a small opening of a sort. You couldn't see it unless you stood at a certain angle. I had just turned around when it happened; a huge spider about the size of a Great Dane was slowly coming through the ceiling. It looked at me with about eight beady, black eyes. We just stood there for a minute staring at each other when suddenly the spider lunged at me. Thank goodness that I was standing right next to the hole or I would have been lunch. When I stepped out of the hole I found that I was standing in a large room surrounding the spiders den. There were crowds of people sitting in stands booing at me. I turned to look back at the spider den and saw that on the side that I was looking through the walls were clear. I had been thrown into a sort of coliseum. Only after I noticed all this did I look up to see the people in the crowd. That's when I noticed that they weren't exactly people.

The Power
Ch. 1
The Thing
"What was that?" Chris yelled as the huge boom settled. "Chris, stay here while your father goes outside to see where that noise came from," Mrs. Lawrence said. "But I want to see!" Chris replies. "Fine," Mrs. Lawrence said. "You may go with your father, but be extremely careful." "Come on Chris," his father called. As they walked outside, the ground was still vibrating from the big crash. "Do you think it was an earthquake?" Chris asked his father. "I'm not really sure; it didn't really feel like an earthquake," he replied. As they got closer, the air seemed to buzz with energy. "Ouch! I tripped!" Chris exclaimed. "What is that?" his father said. There it was. The thing.

I was born on July 4, 1998. I was eight pounds, four ounces. After I was born they found something wrong with my head. I had to have several tests and some scans. They found out that I was born with brain cancer.
While I was there I met a girl who had brain cancer as well. Our mothers came often to the hospital to check on us. Several times we tried to reach out to one another. Our mothers requested for us to be put next to each other, as that is what I'm told.
After about a year in the hospital we both were allowed to go home. Little did I know my friend from the hospital lived right down the road in the neighborhood. As we grew older we played together more and more often.
As little kids our parents didn't trust us much on our own, but we went over to each other's houses often. Once my friend and I were playing in my backyard and we went into the trees behind our house and we found a little creek. Beyond the creek we saw a meadow full of tall grass and flowers.
We went back to the house that day thinking we should tell our moms what we found. We didn't though because we thought that if we did we would be banned from going back.

I sat on the bench, waiting. The airport is a busy place, especially after dark. I was waiting for the clock to say it was 11:00. I would board a plane then, headed to Los Angeles, to see my dad for the summer. That's how my life went: I remember when I stood in court, while I listened to the judge try to explain in lawful terms how my life was being torn apart. I looked at the paper I was holding. The headlines screamed in my face:
France and U.S. Having a War!
And another:
War Declared!
I started reading. It is really the only thing that can get my mind off the noisy airport and the summer to come.
After years of fragile relationships and shortages of supplies, President Cuban has finally declared war with France. We need volunteers for the Army, Navy, and Air force. All of us believe that this will be a bloody war and possibly called "World War 3". Both sides have made alliances, and we are figuring the names out currently. So far the alliances are:
With France: Greece, Ireland, UK, and Mexico.
With US: Italy, Brazil, and Iran.
China and Russia are not sure if they will join the war, but each are good friends with each country.
We will give you the best update we can as soon as we can. –New York Times
I do not like wars. I think that they are silly little fights over land, or gold, or rights. Just like two toddlers fighting over a teddy bear. But the toddlers won't kill each other- wars do. Oh well. There is nothing I can do about it.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I woke up to the sound of my mother crying. I hopped out of bed, hoping to see what was wrong. She held a newspaper that said:
After years of America accusing France about not giving enough to the U.S., and the Americans siding against us in wars, President Papoulias III is glad the US declared war with France. Papoulias III says, "France will not be accused and we will not quit! As our heroes, and the heroes of those heroes, and the heroes of those heroes, we will fight strong alongside France, and for what is right in the eye of Greece! We will fight, and we will win!" We are asking men ages 12-18 to sign up for our fighting force. We are helping out France, many of our troops will be sent there. We will give you our next update as soon as possible.
–Greek Times
Good. I am old enough- I just turned 14. I will need to sign up eventually; they will want lots of people to help fight in this war. I will fight for my country, even if mom doesn't want me to go headfirst into a war. Yes, I will go. And I will help win the war of this millennium.

Once upon a time there was an eleven-year-old girl. She was sitting in her Language Arts class, typing on her Mac book. She was confused. She didn't know what to write about. Her teacher said it just needed to be a creative writing piece, but she couldn't think of anything. Everything that she thought about writing about wouldn't work. All of her ideas just weren't right. She just decided to write on her computer what she was doing, so she did.

The Magical Chicken Nugget
One day a little girl named Tami went to her favorite fast food restaurant with her dad, which is Chick-Fil-A. She walked to the register and the cashier asked, "May I take your order?" Tami happily ordered her all time special, the 8-count nugget meal. But this meal was different. This meal was special. There was something inside that nobody has ever had inside of a chicken nugget meal. Tami hadn't noticed yet so she was being her normal happy self. Tami skipped to the table, her dad holding the tray. They sat down and ate. When Tami opened her bag something MAGICAL happened. Tami suddenly fell into a trance.
When Tami awoke she was in the hospital being rushed to the ER. She tried to get up but the doctors pushed her back down. Suddenly Tami fell to sleep. She was having a strange dream. She dreamed about the Wizard Of Oz. Instead of there being an actual Dorothy, Tami was Dorothy. There was something different about this Wizard Of Oz movie though. Tami said to herself, "I don't think I am at Chick-Fil-A anymore." "Am I the only character?" The thing was, Tami IS the only character.
Tami breathed in heavily. The doctors were telling her to calm down. "I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!!," she demanded. She was flying! The doctors didn't know what to say because they didn't know what was wrong. The only problem was, if they didn't know what the problem was they couldn't fix it. This is where the chicken nugget comes in.
The chicken nugget that Tami had eaten had so much power inside of it, it made her fall into a trance. That is what is so magical about this order of chicken nuggets. They had one magical power in each of them. So if she ate all of the nuggets she would have 8 powers right now. Except this one little chicken nugget was too much for her body to inhale. So that caused her to end up in the hospital.
Tami walked lonely around the trail. She was trying to figure out where she was. She searched everywhere to find someone to give her directions. Suddenly the bushes beside her rattled. Tami screamed and jumped away. Then a little, cute puppy walked out. The puppy barked. She slowly reached down to pick it up. Then someone behind her yelled, " NO IT IS A TRAP!!!!" But it was too late. Tami had already picked up the puppy. All of a sudden a cage from a tree branch came rushing down. Tami tried to run but the cage was coming too fast. The Evil Witch named Ellen had tricked Tami. Then, all Ellen stepped out of the bush laughing her most evil laugh. "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA=http://!" "I've got you know Tami!" Tami struggled trying to get loosed from the cage. Tami recognized Ellen from the real world. Then Tami thought speaking of the real world…
Tami still didn't know about what the chicken nugget had done to her. But her dad did. Her dad thought he would go head and tell her because as soon as she found out she would know how to use her power. I think Tami would like it a little better if she could actually USE her power. Her dad told her to calm down while he explained it all v-e-r-y- s-l-o-w-l-y. Then she figured it all out. All of her other powers flew inside of her body. All of a sudden she had super vision, flying abilities, fighting skills, super strength, smartness, night vision, and seeing into the future. She knew how to use all of them immediately. Then she landed to safety. All of the doctors looked at her and her dad in awe and in a scary way. They back away from the family slowly. Then they turned and ran out of the room. Tami stared at her dad with her new blue eyes. Her dad stared back. She sadly asked one simple question, "Why daddy? Why didn't you tell me? Now I am having strange dreams that I don't usually have." Then her dad asked, "What kind of dreams are you having?" Tami couldn't answer because she was going back to her dream.
Tami thought and she thought fast. She bent the bars out of her way so she could get out of the cage. She grabbed the dog and said a quick prayer for a safe lading, then she realized WAIT I CAN FLY!! So she jumped out of the cage and flew down safely to the ground. When Ellen reached her castle she was outraged that Tami had escaped. "I'll get you yet Tami!! You just wait!" Tami walked down the dark long trail being aware of everything that was going on to make sure she didn't get caught again.
Tami awoke and her dad asked her the same question. She replied, "Well I am in the Wizard Of Oz. And I am walking down a trail and a puppy pops out of the bushes but it was a trap Ellen caught me and--" "Slow down sweet heart!" Then she told her dad the dream. He looked at her for while. Then he asked, "Are you sure?" "Yes" she replied. Tami had gotten a lot calmer since her dad told her what is going on. They drove back to the Chick-Fil-A to see if these things were supposed to happen to her. The cashier that served them earlier in the day looked at them with an akward look as they explained what was going on. When they were done explaining she guided them to the back room that no one has ever noticed. They walked in there was a misted person floating in the air. It explained to the family that Tami was the chosen one so she received those powers.
Tami named her new puppy Cuteness. The pair walked down the trail slowly. Making sure nothing was in any of the bushes and still searching for another person. Tami wished she could've seen the person's face that ALMOST saved her life. Then a boy came out of nowhere and screamed, "HEY YOU GOT FREE!" Tami looked at the boy up and down thinking if this was actually the person that tried to save her life or just some stalker. The boy was still talking, "Hi!, My name is Jimmy. I am the boy that screamed that it was a trap from the witch. I am the prince of this land I have never seen you around here before. Are you new here? Did you just move? Where are you coming from? How come they didn't introduce you to me?" Tami was very happy to see a prince. She actually thought he was kind of cute. What should she tell him though? She couldn't say that a chicken nugget knocked her here. That would just sound weird. So she lied to him and said that she got here just a few hours ago. He held her hand while they walked to his castle. Tami blushed a little because she had never held a boy's hand that she liked. Jimmy let go once they reached it. Tami looked, her mouth hanging open. Jimmy said, "C'mon, Let's go inside. I have something that I want to show you." He entered the secret pass code that only him and his loved ones know, but now Tami knew it. That gave her an idea. Wait, he said this pass code was only for him and his loved ones. Then why do I know it? Did he just say he loves me in code? Tami shrieked at the thought. Jimmy looked at her, "Are you okay?" Tami looked him in the eyes and nodded. Then she saw something she hadn't noticed before. Jimmy's eyes were an unusual color, yellowish green. Then Tami asked Jimmy, "Is that your original eye color? I like it." He looked at her and said, "Uh- er umm.. of course they are.. psht its not like I have contacts or something." Tami looked at him in suspense, but let it go because the way he stared at her calmed her down immediately. He smiled a bright white smile, grabbed her hand and started running up a flight of steps. Then, they came to a sudden stop. "This is my room, Welcome!," Jimmy said. He was still hold on to Tami's hand. They sat down on his bed and talked for a while. Then out of nowhere, Jimmy leaned up and kissed Tami. Tami smiled, it was her first kiss! She was supposed to be happy, right?

Justin Bieber
I bet you have heard of him! He's amazing at singing (to some people) and looks amazing too! It's…JUSTIN BIEBER!!! He is a kind person and not a brat like lots of famous people are. He is a Christian so he thinks of other people beside himself. I love him!
His full name is Justin Drew Bieber. He was born on March 1, 1994 in Stratford, Ontario. His parents names are Pattie Mallette and Jeremy Bieber. Pattie had Justin at age 18. Since things weren't going well they got a divorce. That is why their last names are different. I feel bad for him.

The Super Monkey
One day, a monkey was walking along the woods, and suddenly, he tripped into toxic waste and got super powers. He could fly, shoot lasers from his eyes, and summon bananas from the trees. "I can't wait to tell my friends, they will be so jealous!" said the monkey. Later, the monkey got a little carried away with his powers, and started burning down trees and eating ALL bananas. He ate so much, he looked a little like Harry the Hippo. His mom didn't even recognize him when he got home! "May I help you?" his mother asked. "Mom, it's me! Don't you recognize me?" "No." she replied. "Did you eat my son?! You do seem very fat."
It did take a long time to prove he was her son. She finally believed him when he told her things only he would know. "How did you get so fat?" she asked. "Well… I jumped into toxic waste and got super power. I have the power to summon bananas from the trees. "You do?" she asked curiously. "Maybe you can get ME some bananas!" "Sure!" he said, and soon bananas came flying in the house.
Soon after that, his mom got fat! She looked like Ricky the Rhino! When his father came home, he thought that two monkeys had eaten his family! "What have you done to my family!" he asked. "We are your family!" "Oh yea, prove it! When is my birthday?" he questioned them. "October 11." they said. He believed them now. "How did you get so fat?" "Our son fell into toxic waste and got super powers! He can summon bananas from the forest!" "Well then," he said. "Can I have some bananas?" Then the super monkey summoned the bananas and they came flying in.

Hi my name is Alex my friends call me Cricket for short (I think). But anyway I love school. You might think I'm a good student with good grades and good personality but I'm not. I'm what you describe as a bad boy. When teachers see me I can see the fear crying in there eyes. You might think I'm a horrible person but I'm not – "Cricket let's go"! I heard my screw call me I ran towards them.
James asked "You got the stuff". "Oh snap" I said. "I forgot it" I said. "Dang man, you always do this" James yelled. If you get us shot I'm going to raise from the dead and kill you myself!!!" he yelled. My gang and I aren't close at all. We act more like rivals than a pack. We were like a dog pack. But I was the underdog, the weakest, the stupidest, and the ugliest. Compare me to James I'm worthless.
"Cricket!" I heard Shiloh call me. He had brown hair seemed to be black eyes and a super round head. On the charts of the group he was number 3. He told me I was stupid earlier. So I was sick of him. So right at that moment I slugged him right in his jaw. But it seemed to be not hard enough so I got one right back. Even harder than mine. " Who do you think you are fool" he said. In fear I got up stared him up and down and left. But I was going to my side of town, so that meant I was running things.

When was the last time your board discussed the organization's mission and vision? How much has changed – big shifts as well as incremental changes – since that time?
We find that evaluating the mission and vision is either a glossed over exercise – not much more than a quick reaffirmation of the mission statement – or a tediously-detailed (i.e., word-smithing) part of a large strategic planning effort. Neither produces helpful results.
Yet, a biannual mission and vision evaluation serves several needs of the board. First, it takes stock of the environment in which you live and work. What's it like today? How do we expect it to change in the next two or three years? How does this impact our long-term direction?
Second, it faces everyone in the same specific direction. It's no good to say something akin to, "We're heading north" (a 90-degree chunk of the compass). Rather, we need to say, "Our heading is 012 degrees." Specificity lets everyone know exactly who we're serving and why.
Third, and perhaps most significantly, reconnecting with the mission and vision of the organization breeds ownership. Effective fundraising, ambassadorship, and board recruitment requires personal connection to the mission of the organization. This exercise allows each board member the opportunity to engage the mission on his/her own terms…to find that personal stake. It deepens each person's commitment and motivates their informing and inviting others.
So, I encourage taking time to evaluate your organization's mission and vision at least every other year. ONEplace can help with resources or in facilitating the conversation. It will strengthen your connections and your resolve.

August's tepid jobs report had more bad news Friday.
Twenty-six states saw unemployment increase last month, the Labor Department announced Friday.
Unemployment fell in 12 states and remained unchanged in the other 12. Among these, preliminary numbers indicate that Colorado was among the 12 where unemployment fell, albeit slightly. Based on preliminary data, Colorado's unemployment rate was 8.2 percent in August, down from 8.3 percent in July.
The national unemployment rate for August was 8.1 percent, though in part due to a large number of what is known as marginally attached workers, which are workers not counted in the unemployment numbers because they have not searched for work in four weeks at the time of the survey. This blanket category includes everything from discouraged workers to people not job hunting due to school or family obligations.

Top 150 Availability (updated 5th December '07)
- Jesse Smit(mateybob)Australia
The reason? Because, although it seems dumb now, i remember when i first came to this site I had a really hard time figuring out which of all these great looking games id actually be able to find, how much they were worth and if they were soon to become a rarity. That and im pretty bored at work. And i want to try out the new geeklist interface.
So, for each game:
Availability: Readily Available, being reprinted etc..
Where: Local game store, online etc..
How Much: Whats a reasonable price to pay? For games that are readily available the price listed is the RRP (Recommended Retail Price), most of the time you should be able to find it significantly cheaper than that.
I hate to do it but for the masses this will be in American dollars...
If anyone could help me out with the prices for games im not familiar with that would be great. See all the places i have question marks...
Since this list seems to have been received positively I will try and keep it updated to the best of my ability.
Disclaimer: List may not be particulary accurate for non English language markets, many people have added comments for non English language editions however.

Comments On Feb 19, 2013:My Oakley O frame goggles won't contact my face with this helmet on. Helmet size XL. My last four helmets have been HJC XL's and this Bell XL is a cheek squisher (I have a narrow face). Shame It's not going to work for me as I love the color scheme and I still have fond memories of my brand new Bell Moto III clear back in the day.

Not only do they show everyone that you ride... sort of... they also give you a place out side the 'pack to hang your keys. Unfortunately, the key chain is not really tough enough to be pulled in and out a tight pockets.

Comments On Sep 03, 2012:works great for the money used it 3 times already.

Comments On Sep 18, 2011:A little too labor intensive for practical use. Better design would have been to provide a hex surface on either end of the threaded stud to use a socket on instead of having to use the wrench. For the home mechanic that does not change tires every week, it works as advertised. If you change tires more often you might want to look for something quicker.

Comments On Jan 06, 2011:Broke the bead on my 130 width tire. It wasnt as easy as other bead breaking tools but it got the job done.

Comments On Aug 12, 2009:First, let me state what should be stated in the product description:
DON'T BUY FOR TIRES OVER 160! The info that comes with this directly says it will not work on tires over 160/xx/xx. Period. Luckily for me the street tire on my bike is 160/60/17 - it worked, but was a pain to get over the tire (and it had to be fully dissembled to do this).
It's not great, it's not as slickly designed as it could be, doesn't have rubber coated ends (dipped mine at work to prevent rim marring), and the product info doesn't really state that it has limitations with sizes....for that I gave it 4 stars. Otherwise, it was actually pretty slick - broke the bead with zero problems, and then had no trouble doing the other side as well.
Overall, I'd recommend it - again, if you've got small enough treads.

I like the third one. it's pretty similar to the type of palette i've been using. and the linework helps define the shading.
Help! I need help!! Anyway, I have always had trouble shading mountains.. Definitely with finding a right color palette..

"...sometimes the most efficient way to make something look drawn by hand is to simply draw it by hand..."
Much also depends on the colours of the rest of map too....kind of hard to comment on the colours in isolation. Maybe one thing to try is to use a complementary colour of your lights to make the shadows which may help to make things 'pop' a little more.
I like the color of the first one, but it looks unfinished...there is at least one valley that can be shaded in that I see. The extra detail will bring it in line with the style of the third one.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

This is our go to meal with two teens and working parents. We can sit together and enjoy the meal that did NOT suck up our dining time!
Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
From EatingWell: January/February 2009
In this one-skillet supper, we toss dark leafy greens, diced tomatoes and white beans with gnocchi and top it all with gooey mozzarella. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette.

Easy to make, even I can't mess it up. I don't like cooked spinach so I make sure I use Chard. Only problem I can only get good Chard at Whole Foods which is a little out of the way, so I don't make it as often as I like.
This is our family favorite. I use spinach instead of chard and sometimes add bacon when cooking the onion and garlic, not much but enough to give it an extra depth without adding too much fat/calories. My kids love the dish as it is filling and comforting. My daughter always requests we leave enough for her to take for her school lunch and even her friends ask to share!
I have also added leftover roast chicken and even eliminated the beans and added chicken for a friend who is unable to eat beans and it still tasted yummy. Great with red pepper flakes sprinkled over at serving.
All in all a great meal.
My husband and I love this recipe! We've only made it with spinach so far, and love adding new things like grilled chicken or italian sausage. This meal is so quick and easy, we keep the ingredients in our pantry at all times for a quick dinner night!
