With the 51st pick in the NFL draft, the Washington Redskins select … we'll know soon enough.
The draft starts Thursday and the ratings around town don't figure to be all that high as the Redskins don't have a selection that night. You'll recall this year's first-round pick (and next year's) were traded so the team could get in position to pick second last year and draft Robert Griffin III.
It's time to pay attention Friday, when the Skins will make their first pick. With No. 2, you expect an immediate impact player. With No. 51? Who knows what you'll get? That's kind of what makes the draft fun.
Thanks to the great work of those who put together Pro-Football-Reference.com, it is easy to get a quick look at the history of the 51st pick.
The first No. 51 pick was Ettore Antonini, an end out of Indiana who went to the Chicago Cardinals in 1936. Last year's No. 51 was defensive tackle Jerel Worthy out of Michigan State, who went to the Green Bay Packers. He made four starts and was credited with 2.5 sacks.
In between? Some pretty good hits, some pretty good whiffs. And some interesting names.
If the Redskins go defense with the pick, as most analysts expect, the draftee will have an instant bond with his defensive coordinator.
Jim Haslett is a No. 51, taken in 1979 by the Buffalo Bills. A linebacker, Haslett played collegiately at Indiana (Pa.), not to be confused with the Indiana University attended by the first No. 1, Mr. Antonini.
Haslett had a solid playing career. He played eight seasons, seven with the Bills and one with the Jets. He started every game he played his first three seasons.
Clinton Portis surely rings a bell around here. He, too, is a member of the 51 club, taken in that spot in 2002 by Denver after a collegiate career at Miami.
Traded to the Redskins after two seasons with the Broncos, Portis rushed for at least 1,262 yards six times. He had three seasons with more than 1,500 yards. Two of them came in his two seasons in Denver.
He finished his career in 2010, just 77 yards shy of 10,000 for his career.
The guy who drafted Portis? Current Redskins boss Mike Shanahan. In an interesting twist noted by Rich Tandler on ComcastSportsNet.com in February, that was the second of three straight years Shanahan got to make the 51st pick.
The first of those picks, defensive end Paul Toviessi, is one of two players selected 51st since 1970 to never play a down in the NFL.

May 12, 1964 J. c. DUDDY ETAL FUEL CELLS Filed NOV. 4. 1960 HYDROGEN N E G vl X O INVENToRs JOSEPH C. DUDDY JAMES W. CONSOLLOY" United States Patent() 3,132,973 FUEL CELLS Joseph C. Daddy, rIrevose, Pa., and James W. Consolloy, Pennington, NJ., assignors, to The Electric Storage Battery Company, a corporation of New `lersey Filed Nov. 4, 1960, Ser. No. 67,224 7 Claims. (Cl. 13e- 86) The present invention generally relates to fuel cells. More specifically, the present invention is concerned with a new and improved construction for fuel 'cells of the ty'pe consuming oxygen and hydrogen as its fuels and utilizing a liquid alkaline electrolyte.
It is the object of the present' invention to provide a high eciency fuel cell ,for operation at relatively low temperature, that is, at room temperature, the high eficiency 'being derived to a large extent from the electrode 4configuration and other novel construction features employed.
Prior to the present invention, fuel cell devices, which convert directly into electricity the free energy of chemical reaction have for substantial current outputs and improved efficiency, operated at relatively high temperatures. Though low temperature fuel cell operation has been obtained, much has been left to be desired in maintaining the voltage for current levels of substantial magnitude.
The present invention is particularly concerned with the provision of a fuel cell configuration utilizing concentric tubular electrodes for both oxygen and fuel gas which provides a fuel cell of unexpectedly high voltages for given current outputs. More particularly, the fuel cell of the present invention is characterized by Ithe utilization of `a novel electrode configuration which is functional in eliminating the water formed during cell operation.
Further objects and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent lfrom the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof when read with reference to the accompanying drawing, which is a sectional elevation of a f'uel cell in accordance with the present invention.
Referring now to the drawings, Ithe numeral 1 designates a cell container which is cylindrical in shape and which may rbe made of a suitable insulating material such as a plastic or hard rubber. As shown, the bottom of the cell container 1 is provided with a cylindrical recess 2 to facilitate the mounting of the fuel or hydrogen consuming electrode assembly generally designated as 3. The functional portion of the fuel electrode assembly 3 comprises a microporous cylinder 4 of sintered silver particles containing metallic palladium or palladium oxide as its catalytic element. The electrode 4 is preferably made in accordance with the teachings of Ithe copending application Serial #3i-3,948, now Patent 3,062,909, of I. C. Duddy, filed .lune 6, 1960, assigned to the assignee of the present invention. Specific details relating -to the manufacture of the electrode 4 will be presented hereinafter.
The fuel electrode 4,is supported and mounted in the cell container 1 by means of a central fuel feed tube 5. The fuel feed tube 5 is preferably constructed of a metal inert to the cell electrolyte such as nickel or stainless steel. The electrode 4 is affixed to the fuel feed tube 5 by means of a pair of moldedend caps f6 and 7 which seal the electrode 4 to the tube 5'. An epoxy resin has been found to be a suitable material for molding the end caps 6 and 7. The fuel feed tube 5 in addition to functioning as a support `for the electrode 4, also functions as the electrical connection thereto. To this end, a connecting disk 8 welded to both the electrode 4 and the gas feed tube 5 is provided. As shown, the connecting disk 8 is cast in the end cap 7. The gas feed tube S is ice at the lower end of the electrode 4, the static pressure of hydrogen within the electrode 4 at shutdown prevents electrolyte penetration of the electrode 4 beyond the level of lthe port 1l, thereby eliminating the necessity of purging the electrode of electrolyte on start-up.
-In the fuel cell of the present invention, the oxygen electrode assembly 13 is mounted concentrically with respect to the hydrogen electrode assembly 3 within the container 1. The functional portion of ythe oxygen electrode 'assembly 13 comprises a microporous cylinder -14 of sin-tered nickel and silver particles. The electrode 14 is also preferably made in accordance with the teachings of the aforementioned co-pending application Serial #33,948 and will be discussed in more detail hereinafter. As shown, the tubular electrode 13 is provided with molded end rings 15 and 16 which are adapted to conform to the interior of the cell container 1. The end ring 15 is provided with an annular recess 17 which houses an O-ring gasket 18 which provides an oxygen and electrolyte tight seal between the oxygen electrode assembly 13 and the interior wall of the cell container 1. Similarly, the end ring 16 is provided with an annular recess 119 which houses an yO-ring gasket 21, which provides a seal between the interior wall of the cell container 1 and the oxygen elec-trode assembly' 13 at its lower end.
The top ring 15 is provided with a baille 22 which extends downward between the oxygen electrode 14 and the interior of the cell container 1. The bafe 22 serves to diffuse oxygen fed to the electrode 1'4 through an oxygen inlet 23 adjacent thereto in the side of the cell container 1. ll'he end ring 16 is provided with a baffle 24 which lextends upwards into the space between the oxygen electrode 14 yand the interior ofthe cell container 1. The baffle 24 is functional in providing a sump for trapping water generated during the operation of the fuel cell which Imay be discharged from the cell through a water discharge vent 25 adjacent `thereto in the side of the cell container 1. To facilitate the collection and the removal of wa-ter from the cell during operation, the outer surface of the oxygen electrode 14- and fthe inner surface of the cell container 1 are preferably sprayed with a suitable hydrophobic material such as a iluorocarbon resin. The other novel features of the fuel cell of the present invention which aid in water removal will be discussed in more detail hereinafter.
'Ilhe cell container l is provided with a cover 26 having a central opening 27 adapted to lit over the fuel gas feed -tube 5. The cover 26 is held in place Iby means of a nut 23 which is screwed around the gas feed tube 5 which is threaded for this purpose. A seal Vis maintained between the cover 26 and the tcell container -1 by means of yan O ring gasket 29 held in an annular recess in the side of the cover 26. The cover 26 also includes the positive terminal 3-1 of the fuel cell which is electrically connected to the oxygen electrode 14 by means of the flexible connector `32. As shown, the cell is adapted to be filled with a suitable alkaline electrolyte 3B to an operating level which covers the electrodes 4 and 14 and which fills the space between them.
As mentioned hereinbefore, both the hydrogen electrode 4 and the oxygen electrode 14 are made in accordrance with the teachings of the aforementioned co-pending application, Serial #$3,948. As taught in that application, the electrodes d' and 14 are produced by la process lin which two intimately rnixed incompatible thermoplastic resins, one of which is soluble in a sol- =vent and the other is insoluble, are utilized as a temporary binder for the powdered metal electrode material to be resin phase, the electrode is dried and heated to a temperature of about 375 F. to 450 F. to remove therefrom the low molecular factions of the insoluble .thermoplastic resin. This lheat treatment step is carried out while the electrode is rotated so that it maintains its cylindrical shape. The electrode is next heated to a temperatmre of about 450 F. to 550 F. to remove therefrom the remainder of the insoluble resin and to lightly sinter the electrode material. t is then further heated to the sintering temperature customary for the material from which the electrode is made to further strengthen the bond between the sintered particles. For the production of both the hydrogen electrode 4 and 'the oxygen electrode le, polyethylene oxide has been found to be the preferred soluble resin binder and polyethylene the preferred non-soluble resin binder. Polyethylene oxide is preferred because it -is water soluble. The hydrogen electrode 5 is preferably made of sintered finely divided particles of silver having uniformly dispersed therethrough about 1% by weight of finely divided metallic palladium oxide. -a sintered mixture of finely divided silver and nickel particles in which the nickel is present in an amount of from about to 40% by weight of the silver.
As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the manner in which the free energy of the chemical reaction between the gases and the electrolyte is directly converted -in-to electricity can be expressed by the following equations:
At the Oxygen Electrode Og-l-ZHZOr-I-lee 4(O1H)- (l) Vuren oxygen is supplied to the Oxygen electrode, hydroxyl ions are formed within the electrolyte. In form- :ing such ions, there is utilized electrons, thus leaving the electrode positively ycharged or with a deficiency of electrons. The negatively charged hydroxyl ions are diffused through the electrolyte, or migrate through the electrolyte to the hydrogen electrode.
At the Hydrogen Electrode nomanpanzode (2) With hydrogen flowing to the hydrogen electrode, the hydrogen is ionized. It reacts with the hydroxyl ions to form water with release of electrons. Accordingly, if the electrodes lare connected to an external circuit, current will flow. Thus, the fuel reactions are dependent upon the flow of electrons from the hydrogen electrode rough the external circuit to the oxygen electrode. In accordance with a generally recognized convention, the oxygen electrode from the standpoint of the external circuit may be considered as: the positive electrode, and the hydrogen electrode as the negative electrode.
The water produced during the operation of the fuel cell in accordance with the present invention condenses as minute droplets on the inner Wall of the container l. As operation progresses these minute droplets coalesce land drain down-ward being collected in the sump formed between the baille 24 and .the inner wall of the cellV container 1. in considering why this occurs, it should be understood that the oxygen electrode 14 is wetted with electrolyte on its inner surface and perhaps outward therefrom a short distance. Accordingly, from that point outward to the internal surface of the electrode there exists a very high wetted sur-face area from which water can evaporate, especially if the temperature of the The oxygen electrode 14 is preferably made of cell interior exceeds the ambient. In effect then, the concentric cell design may lbe considered to be `a still which operates on an extremely small temperature differential, to eliminate the water produced during fuel cel-l operation. If the electrolyte space between the concentric electrodes is of Ithe proper order, the 4internal resistance loss produced therein is functional in providing 4the internal heating responsible for the temperature differential necessary for generation of the Water vapor and its removal from the fuel cell. Depending on the temperature differential produced and the 'associated heat capacity of the system, there will be formed varying amounts of water condensate, lthese amounts being equal to, greater than, or less than, that quantity of water formed by the fuel cell reaction.
It should be u-nderstood that the same phenomena would occur if the hydrogen electrode had been chosen as the outermost electrode and the oxygen electrode the inner electrode. Consequently in designing a con-centric oxygen and hydrogen fuel cell system in accordance'with the present invention the select-ion of relative electrode n positions is determined solely on the basis of the efficiencies of the particular electrodes to be utilized. With respect to 1the electrodes described hereinbefore, the fuel electrode was selected as the innermost electrode, which is inherently the smaller, because of its higher efficiency. lt should also be understood that the hydrophobic coating on the interior wall of the cell container 1 mentioned hereinbefore is an aid in facilitating the condensation and subsequent coalescing of the water which collects on the inner surface of the container 1. As mentioned hereinbefore, it is also advantageous to provide a similar coating on the outer wall of the oxygen electrode 14. This coating is operative in preventing excessive electrolyte penetration through the electrode 14 and into the space between the electrode ld and the cell container 1. An emulsion of tetraliuoroethylene has been lfound to be a suitable material for this purpose.
By way of example of .the performance of a Kfuel cell .in accordance with the present invention, a cell was constructed in which the apparent unprojected surface area ofthe inner wall of the oxygen electrode was 33.9 square inches while that of the outer wall hydrogen electrode was 23.6 square inches. The space between the Vconcentric-ally positioned electrodes was on the order of oneeighth of an inch. A 20% solution of potassium hydroxide was utilized as the cell electrolyte. The equilibrium gas flow condition was established at 3 pounds per square inch gage pressure for hydrogen, and at 71/2 pounds per square inch gage for oxygen. The immediate open circuit voltage of the system was zero volts -but as time progressed, thatl is, as the hydrogen continued to diffuse through the fuel electrode, the cell Voltage slowly rose until the equilibrium value at open circuit wasv 1.08 volts. rfhis situation is normal when starting a cell utilizing new electrodes but thereafter a starting period is unnecessary. A load of one ampere was applied and the equilibrium voltage for the cell was observed to be 0.95 volt. Thereafter the cell load was carried upward -until the cell was delivering 2O amperes. Cell voltages for various current loads are shown in the table below.
`Cell voltage: Current, amps.
1.08 c Open circuit From the foregoing, it can be seen that the construction described hereinbefore provides a high efficiency fuel cell for operation at relatively low temperatures. In addition, the electrode configuration described in which concentric electrodes are employed with the outermost electrode spaced from the cell container, provides a means for eliminating the water formed during cell operation.

How to evade making a Mary SueThe Mary Sue Guide
This guide is meant to introduce and/or inform you of this threat that is currently attacking storywritting, drawing, Original Character creation (OCs) and fandom/fanfiction in general, not to say Originality itself!
During the course of this guide, you will learn what a Mary Sue is, youll identify one when sighted and, most importantly, you will not create one and hopefully you will help others in the subject, so they dont create Mary Sues too.
I) Mary Sue 101:
-What is a Mary Sue?
Mary Sue is a title given to characters in fanfiction (and sometimes original, professional work) who are simply perfect: They are beautiful, smart, friendly, always willing to help for nothing in exchange even if they can die, powerful, important in one way or other...you get the point (I will explain on emphasis later). These characters are often created in Roleplaying forums/chatrooms or simply as OCs with a storyline
So You've Created a Mary SueSo Youve Created a Mary-SueSo You've Created a Mary Sue7 years ago in Academic Essays More Like This
One day while browsing on deviant Art or even Fanfiction.net you get a really great idea to create your own Original Character (OC). So cool, right? You make him/her for your favorite fandom so you can draw or write them it, its like youre in the series. You can make your favorite sexy anime guy or beautiful girl fall head over heels in love. You quickly write everything you would like if you were in that fandom and upload away. Thats when you get your first comment or review. As soon as you open it the room catches fire and you are incinerated within the depths of a Flame. A flame is a type of review or comment that is left usually to bash one writing or drawing and hold little to no constructive criticism to help with improvements. Thats when you realized you have been infected by the dread disease of creating a Mary-Sue. Whats the first thing you should do, throw it out right? wrong!

How to Avoid Creating a Mary Sue TutorialHiya!How to Avoid Creating a Mary Sue Tutorial5 years ago in Writing More Like This
While reading manymanymany fan fictions and original stories with varying levels, it popped into my mind a few tricks to decrease the Mary Sue aspects from characters. I've sorted the tricks to different categories, hope they are useful! The categories are,
- What is a Mary Sue anyway? And why people create them?
- Before creating him/her, aka General attitude
- When creating him/her
- When writing about him/her
- Notes about fan characters
- Notes about original characters
- Links to other Anti Mary Sue tutorials
Most the tricks I've mentioned in this guide are good to remember all the time. However, the tricks I've marked with a star symbol (*) are optional, kind of extra tricks. I use quite harsh examples in the guide to make stuff clear, but remember that the flaws that are smaller than the ones that I mentioned can be bad, too!
On the other hand: Generally, NONE of mentioned flaws are ABSOLUTELY bad, so you don't necessarily have to throw your character into recycling bin or
Rants: Mary-sues and how to make a decent OCRants: Mary-sues and how to make a decent OC4 years ago in General Fiction More Like This
Hi, guys~!
Well, I figured that since Spongebob- Proof Of Spandy was so popular that I would do something that's different but also the same. I've written a little mini rant/opinions on an issue that isn't nearly as annoying as it used to be but it's still suck around for a quite a while everywhere I've been (Ex. DevArt, Fanfiction Net, LiveJournal). So, hope you can all enjoy and leave whatever comments you feel necessary. I would love to hear your opinions.
First I shall address Mary-Sues. Here's the five bad points of a Mary-Sue:
The name is only a slight problem. As in, it's not really one to be too concerned about but it is something that could give a good character a bad image. A name such as 'Melony Butterfly Lily DeeDee Silver Jay Hannah Rose, Melony Rose for short' is not going to give anyone a pretty image of your character and people will get tired just by trying to sa
A Comprehensive Guide to OCsSo you say you want to write an OC, but don't know where to begin? Well, here are a few tips to help you get started, and maybe help you avoid the terrible Mary Sue Trap that so many writers fall into.A Comprehensive Guide to OCs5 years ago in Reviews & Guides More Like This
1. Create a profile for your OC, with their name, age, gender, height, weight, and other such defining characteristics, to help you flesh out how they will look. Once you do this, go back and take out any Mary Sue/Gary Stu adjectives, such as "Sapphire Blue Hair with Icy Pink Streaks" or "Emerald Green Eyes with Amber Sparkles". Everyone wants their character to be special, or easily recognizable, but this tends to backfire horribly when introduced into your story. Unless the universe you are working with has canon characters with strange hair/eye colors, stay away from the unique color approach. The same also applies to skin color, unless your character has some sort of disease, like albinism, that affects a person
Basic Facts About Mary-SueYou are in love with Riku. You are warm for his form. Unfortunately, you cannot have him. He doesn't exist, after all. So you do the next best thing. You create a fan fic centering around your own original character (OC) and Riku.Basic Facts About Mary-Sue8 years ago in Editorial More Like This
Riku falls in love with this character immediately. His dark personality turns on your OC like a light bulb. The two share passionate moments as he gushes his feelings for her on Twilight Hill (three hours after meeting her, of course), telling her how much he loves her layered purple hair, silver eyes, milky white skin, and thin, curvy body. He tells her how the name Ruby Mina Rose-Topaz fits her so well. The normally chaste Riku agrees to a one-nighter without hesitation.
As they lie in the spacious bed in her mansion, she begins to sob. Her eyes turn emerald as tears pour down her cheek. Immediately, Riku strokes her moonlit silver hair and coaxes her into telling him what is wrong. Tearfully, she sobs about how her parents were murdered. She was brought u
OC Mary-Sue Test 2.1OC Mary-Sue/Gary-Stu TestOC Mary-Sue Test 2.15 years ago in Writing More Like This
This test is designed for Original Characters. Questions for Role Play Characters and Fan Characters will be added soon.
Now, this tests for both the traditional Mary Sue/Gary Stu, and for 'gloomdog' style characters, which I suppose is a sub-category of the Mary Sue, but is often over-looked in this kind of test.
Further down this test, there is a list of traits and characteristics, each one stating how many points that particular trait is worth. Simply read through the list, and give your character the appropriate number of points for each of the listed traits/characteristics displayed by your character.
When you reach the end of the list, add up all of your character's points and refer to the results at the very bottom of the test to see (approximately) where your character is on the Sue Scale.
Now, while you're taking this test please also take into account
Character Cliches to AvoidCharacter Cliches to Avoid (Like the Plague)Character Cliches to Avoid5 years ago in Writing More Like This
This tutorial-suggestion love child will be split into two parts :: 1 for cliches that should NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVUR be done by anyone, and the second part being ones that shouldn't be done by beginning writers.
Section One: The Black Plague
These are character cliches that are so overdone that they should NEVER be done anymore. EVER.
Underdeveloped Characters
Not a lot to say on this one. There's nothing worse than reading a piece of writing though with a main character or side character that never got the character development that they deserved.
"Stone" Characters
This is my name for characters that never change through the series/work. Your character should always grow with each obstacle they're faced with.
Characters with Atrociously-Spelled Names
Let's just say that if I have to get out the pronounciation guide to get through the first half of your character's name, it shouldn't be done.
The Naming of CharactersFirst of all, we don't need this surface-value, wishy-washy crap. I'll show you what I mean, so here's a form I used to give out when accepting OCs for stories a long time ago (ah, back in the days. I truly forgot how fun writing without bounds used to be--you know, writing for your own satisfaction with things like outrageous Sues, blatant cliches, and genres that I have worn out for a year or two. I still do it sometimes, but I can't bring myself to get too heavily into the story because I know it would be really bad to anyone else. I DO miss writing about fantasy journeys, though, but I really wore that out when I was younger, so right now I'm getting into fantasy-without-the-magic. Technically, historical fiction for my own world).The Naming of Characters4 years ago in Reviews & Guides More Like This

Mary-sues, Martha-sues, Marty-stus, Larry-Stus and Gary-Stus, we will all come across them at one point. Most of us have heard of them, some have been violently accused of making them via flaming, and others are still naïve to the terms. While people who have been on writing sites for years absolutely loathe them, most are inconsistent with an all-around definition. A majority claim that Mary-Sues are characters that are absolutely perfect in every shape, form and personality, while others just say that they are characters that are just too powerful, unique, or are so clichéd from past characters, and a few say they are self-inserts no matter how well-developed they are. Some on fan fiction sites even say that all Original Characters or Fan Characters (OCs) who are paired with a canon character or just take the spotlight are Mary-Sues. On the other side of the cr
Murdering Mary SueMurdering Mary SueMurdering Mary Sue7 years ago in Academic Essays More Like This
Every aspiring writer has met her at least once, whether in his own works or in those of others. The alluring temptation of a perfect character taunts the author from one side while his muse urges him to keep writing from the other. Who wouldn't love her? She's the most beautiful, talented, fantastic woman in the universe, with not a flaw in sight. Every woman wants to be her; every man wants to marry her, so why would anyone want to kill her? Who would want to murder Mary Sue?
I would. I and many greater authors have been working hard to keep this succubus in her proper place: the trash can. Mary Sue is one of the worst enemies of good fiction, second only to poor spelling and grammar. And the seductress tempts even the most cautious writer. Her many disguises can make her difficult to spot, allowing her to weave her way into every plot twist and turn, slowly destroying the author's work. By the time shes found, she may have done so much damage that the
Is she Mary Sue? Clarifying Mary SueIs she Mary Sue?3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
So, I realize that everyone has heard of Mary Sue characters, but the thing that bothers me is that Mary has never really been as clarified as she could be. Girls go around crying Mary Sue at every character with long pink hair, then go and create even worse Mary Sue characters in the false illusion that they're making nonMary Sue characters (or even anti-Sues) when in fact they're doing the opposite. Allow me to explain how this seems to happen.
First of all the term "Mary Sue" desperately needs to be clarified to these people, so this brings us to the very important question: What IS a Mary Sue?
At least everyone can agree on one thing. Mary Sues are characters that are so perfect it's annoying.
But. What do they mean by perfect? Everyone has different ideas of that, naturally. Unfortunately, this is how many fanfiction (and other) writers make their biggest mistakes.

Small word of introduction: This little essay is based on my own experiences with OCs, Mary Sues and widely known fictional characters. The opinions expressed here are mine alone and I understand not everyone might agree with them. But that doesnt mean Im going to change my opinion just because someone thinks different. Im not anyones trained circus monkey.
If you are reading this, you probably know what a Mary Sue is. Just check Wikipedia or Encyclopedia Dramatica for various definitions. I personally think the most simple and accurate definition can be A Mary Sue is an overrated fictional character, that only her/his creator loves. Sues can be found in three basic places: fanfiction, original fiction and roleplays. Mary Sues are mostly created by 12-15 year old girls with a strong sense of insecurity. And here begins my story

There are tons of guides about avoiding the creation of a Mary-sue/Gary-stu throughout the internet, but nobody ever say anything about making it awesome. Admit it, people. I know you have this problem. Even I have. But then I found a way-a way that will make the title into reality if you do it nicely and diligently. One single drop of ignorance and you're toast. There are steps to reach enlightenment. Scroll down and you'll know it.
ATTENTION: This guide is not for minor OCs that only appears for a very brief moment. If you're making a story and you want minor OCs for villains -- you can actually make them into a Sue/Stu, because Sues and Stus are meant to be annihilated.
Step 1: Themselves

Where does your OC come from? Most fanfic writers (especially girls) make their OCs based on themselves. They can also inspire by someon

Ah, the Mary Sue. We can't cobble together a truly comprehensive description of what they are, exactly, but we can agree on one thing: an annoying, 'perfect' character who, through a general lack of flaws and character development, is excruciating to sit through and often makes us gnash our teeth, tear our hair, and reach for the back button. This nefarious creature can be measured and detected, so let's all grab our magnifying glasses and get classifying.
This is a subjective subject; a trait that drives one person right up the wall might fail to get any reaction from another. As you go through the list, count up the points. Each trait will register from 1-5 points, with 1 being a mild thing and 5 being a serious infraction. If a trait is not addressed at all in the story the character comes from, or is totally unknown, just ignore it. And don't worry about racking up pointsthe de-Suifier part of the test ought to restore some balance to

Character Creation
Note: Many people have asked how I come up with my characters so I figured I would share what I do. This is just an outline and know that you dont have to fill out any and all. Its a guideline. Also note, that though you answer these questions not everything should be included or expected in your writing. This is so you can know your characters intimately and how they would react but not everyone else needs to know some things.
Basic Information is key to the first vital step
Name: (normal, foreign, alien etc)
Age: (2 years, 1000, immortal etc)
Gender: (female, male, transvestite etc)
Race: (human, vampire, alien etc)
Profession: (student, doctor, king, mage etc)
Note: These tell you what your character is but it just scratches the surface to character building

For most people, the problems that people will have with a character is the lack of balance they might have.
Mary-Sues are the most popular characters that exemplify this.
Mary Sues are characters that have more good traits than flaws and therefore look perfect for the audience. That can include all sorta of aspects in the character 'life'.
1) You have over-powered Mary-sues who can defeat any and every opponent and therefore are respected and awed by everyone.
2) Realtionship-Sues who are so much of the woman that every man who meets her is obviously struck with love the minute they see her, even when the character has no real qualities that WOULD normally attract men. And these are also the ones who are able to take their pick of the guy and somehow always end up getting with the most sought-after man in the series.
3) You have the feminist-sues/tom-boy sues who are the perfect women in their being less "girly" on

How To 'Flesh Out' an OCHow To 'Flesh Out' an OC4 years ago in Reviews & Guides More Like This
The aggregate of features and traits that form the
individual nature of some person or thing.
In this tutorial I will guide you through a way to 'flesh out' an Original Character (Also known as an OC). Before we begin, let's go through the basics.
A character is quite simply one who possesses qualities that define them from someone else. Every character is original and unique. A character can not only be human, but an animal, an alien, or anything that the imagination can come up with.
However, characters are often difficult to create, because to put it bluntly, you are in a sense creating a new being. This being needs the same kinds of traits and characteristics you possess, but can't be your own. They have to be original. In this case, many young writers and artists forget how hard it is to make a character and forget the complex details that enhance a character.
Fleshing out is a term used commonly in developing characters. It means to add additional det
Mary Sue - Gary Stu TestLet's get one thing very clear: there is no score that will automatically 'make' a character a Mary Sue/Gary Stu, a high score only indicates that there might be a problem with a character. This test is for people who are worried that their characters might be Mary Sues/Gary Stus; the intention is to help people to improve their characters, NOT to make people feel bad about them. So if you like your character, that's the important thing. But if you're worried about your character, and are unsure if they need further work or not, hopefully this can help.Mary Sue - Gary Stu Test4 years ago in Reviews & Guides More Like This

It's every writer's nightmare: your characters, after all the things you've put them through and all the months or years they've inhabited your head, have been eagerly displayed to the public and received an unenthusiastic response. Your audience has not been enchanted. They do not drool, fall hopelessly in love, or draw fan art in droves. They don't even pick favorite characters or whine for more information! You've failed. Nobody understands your characters. Nobody understands you.

DO's and DON'Ts of OCsDOs and DONTs of Creating OCs.DO's and DON'Ts of OCs7 years ago in General Non-Fiction More Like This
I'm not a brilliant or fantasmically talented writer, but I know a decent OC when I see one. Or at least a non-crappy one.
I think we know how this works. Here we go
1. DO Try to vary your OCs personalities. In the real world, if everyone had the same awesome, flawless character, life would be mind-numbingly BORING. Also, not everyone is nice/horrible/depressed/energetic all the time. (Unless, of course, you want to use that as a flaw.)
2. DONT get too hung up on making profiles for your characters. Profiles are for procrastinators who want to make a fantastic character without getting started on the actual story. I was guilty of it too, before I realised how boring filling out the same form over and over again was.
Try describing them in the story, THEN make notes to help you remember stupid boring details like their star-sign and eye colour so you dont accidentally change them halfway through the st

One of the granddaughters of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has been transferred from Gaza to an Israeli hospital for urgent medical treatment.
The news emerged when Haniyeh's son, Abdul Salam, wrote on his Facebook page that his daughter, Amal Haniyeh, aged one, had crossed the "green line" which separates Israel from the Palestinian territories.
A Jewish human-rights group has asked the Dutch Prime Minister to reject an advisory report that "demonises Israel".
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, accused the Dutch parliament's advisory council on international affairs of producing a one-sided report on the Middle East conflict.
A hamas scheme to launder money in Chinese bank accounts has been revealed in an ongoing court case in the US.
The allegations emerged in a suit being brought against the Bank of China by the family of Daniel Weltz, a 16-year-old American killed in a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv in April 2006.
The counter-revolution in Egypt which cost Hamas its Muslim Brotherhood patrons has also put paid to the attempt to bring about reconciliation between the Islamist movement controlling Gaza and Fatah, which rules the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank.
Amnesty International has attacked Hamas' plans to carry out executions in Gaza following the Muslim festival of Eid.
The charity said the threat facing prisoners sentenced to death was "deeply disturbing".
Hamas' Attorney General in Gaza announced plans last week to execute a number of what he said were "convicted criminals" as a "lesson" to other Palestinians.
A few hours after the first meeting between Israeli and Palestinian negotiators in Washington on Tuesday morning, a rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip and landed in a field in southern Israel.
Although the explosion caused no casualties or damage, it signals a greater danger on the horizon.
Britain's ambassador to Israel believes trade restrictions imposed on Gaza have "enriched" Hamas and weakened Israel's security.
Matthew Gould said he was in "no doubt about Hamas' lack of readiness to be a partner for peace", but added that Israeli sanctions on trade to the Palestinian territory were "hurting moderate businessmen" and "ordinary Gazan workers".
Claims from Gaza that EU governments, including Britain, are keen to build backchannel ties with Hamas have been strongly denied in London and treated with scepticism in Israel.
Hope for political stability in Egypt any time soon faded on Monday morning as news of the mass-killing of Muslim Brotherhood supporters outside the Republican Guard headquarters in eastern Cairo began filtering through.
A leading Middle East expert has said that "Hamas is in dire straits" after the Egyptian military removed Muslim Brotherhood Prime Minister Mohammed Morsi from power.

Katie Holmes in Mother The Looker Skinny Jeans in Here Kitty Kitty
Katie Holmes is certainly keeping a low profile these days! Last summer we saw her out in her Mother The Looker Skinny jeans in Here Kitty Kitty quite often and it looks like she is wearing them again this summer.
I think this is a great laid back outfit for the warm weather. Katie looks really relaxed and not too fussy, but still put together. I think that this is one of her better outfits. You can buy Mother jeans online from Shopbop.com.

Katie Holmes in Levi's Shorts
Katie Holmes filmed scenes from her new movie, Mania Days, in New York City. She plays a manic depressive who strikes up a romance with another manic depressive.
While filming, Katie wore a pair of cut off Levi's shorts with a white tee and chukka boots. While I think that these shorts are part of her wardrobe for the film, I really do not think they're a flattering look for her, they hit her at a very awkward length. Perhaps they relate to her character's wardrobe, but I hope we don't see Katie in these off set.

Katie Holmes in Mother The Looker Skinny in Skinny Dipping
Katie Holmes was spotted braving the cold after a meeting in New York. I wonder if she is doing prep for the presentation of her new Holmes & Yang line? She wore a pair of Mother Looker Skinny Jeans in Skinny Dipping with a pair of Rag & Bone Newbury boots and a fitted blazer.
This is one of Katie's best outfits in my opinion. I think the color scheme works really well on her and everything fits really well. I hope to see her in more looks like this, this year. You can click here to purchase Mother Denim at REVOLVEclothing.

Katie Holmes in Patchwork Jeans
I absolutely love this outfit on Katie Holmes! I think she looks really laid back, but still put together in this pair of patchwork jeans with a chambray shirt and heels, which really dresses up the look.
I think Katie always tends to take risks when it comes to different denim styles and trends. Luckily, I think this is one of her more successful attempts at dressing up a trend, a lot better than when she tried out overalls. Does anyone know who makes Katie's jeans?

Excerpt from Beltway Report
Bend Over, Cough On
January 23, 2012, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") published a notice of proposed rulemaking that would require certain large insured depository institutions to conduct annual capital adequacy stress tests. The proposal, implementing section 165(i)(2) of the Dodd- Frank Act, would apply to FDIC-insured state nonmember banks and FDIC-insured state-chartered savings associations with total consolidated assets of more than $10 billion. The FDIC regulated 23 state nonmember banks with total assets of more than $10 billion as of Sept. 30, 2011. The stress tests would provide forward-looking information that would assist the FDIC in assessing the capital adequacy of the banks covered by the rule. The banks that would be required to conduct the stress tests also are expected to benefit from improved internal assessments of capital adequacy and overall capital planning.

Circle ParkingRead MoreIt's a charity race with a back story like none other: bloodthirsty demons have been working in your community's offices, living in its homes, attending its schools. And now they're on the hunt and people are running for their lives. Citizens might be booking it across a field, seemingly far from the chaos, when shapes emerge on the horizon dressed head-to-toe in vampires' telltale black clothes. If you're a citizen, be prepared to run. If you're a vampire—lock in your target. That's just part of what you might experience on the Vampire 5K, a twilight fun run where participants can register as "citizens" or "vampires" and take off from two separate starting lines. Both camps eventually converge in a chase that finds vamps trying to convert their mortal counterparts to the dark side. Citizens, dressed in white, sport two garlic flags; if the flags are taken before runners cross their finish line, they switch to a black tee and chase citizens. After the race, a moonlit party finds both camps sipping bloody marys during a dance party and award presentation. The race benefits the Mission to Hear Foundation, which provides hearing aids to underprivileged children, adults, and whatever they're calling the age group that comes in between these days.4530 40th St NWWashington, DC US

This hotel has exterior entry rooms. There is now way this hotel should be rated as a 2.5 star hotel.
I would not stay there again
The hotel is old and outdated. I paid way too much for this hotel.
Easy to find.
Small bathroom, price $10 higher from original page. Insufficient outlets
Room was fairly large and very clean.

We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
