Should I have pegs or not? Drawings on the frame? I have a black BMX.

my opinion on the Performance is that pegs are good if u will use them for tricks but if u are only jumping they jest get in the way. I know this because i experimented with pegs at 1 stage and i ended up taking them off because i didn’t do tricks with them and my heels get caught on them and it messes up my balance.

They just beat the giants their next and final games are Browns, Redskins, and the Cowboys. If they win those games they would have a record of 10-5-1

apparently it goes like this……… in order for the eagles to make the playoffs they need the falcons to lose just once, and they need to win all three games, im hoping they will do it! i think they have a decent shot.

I’m a bit confused on which of the two i should get. The addict is $520 and the element $630 (backbone BMX, australia).
And if possible can anyone recommend a shop that sells these bikes for cheaper than as is?

there is no doubt that the we we the people is better. it holds up better than the eastern and runs better too

the bills were a dropped kick return from winning. They looked good to me!
words, where did you read in any where that the eagles played the bills? i was responding to the person who just said "so are the bills". the bills are doing fine and i watched both monday night games. and both were great

they are screwed for this week

I recently finished my first book on paper and I’m now putting it onto my flashdrive. I just wanted to know what you think of it so far and things I should keep in mind while writing the rest of it. Don’t comment on my grammar and spelling because I havn’t edited it yet. Thanks in advance ( :
Be as harsh as you want but keep in mind I’m 13.

The Darkness, Chapter One
Normal, the least liked word in my vocabulary. Hardly anything about me was normal, and that’s the way I liked it. I liked the way my non normal hair sparkled even when fog blanketed the earth and wiped out the sun. I liked the way people stared at me for my unusual way of dressing. It made me giddy with excitement when guys whistled at me when I walked down the streets and made comments a normal mortal wouldn’t hear. And I loved that I could do anything and make anyone do anything I wanted. Yes, I knew how conceited that sounded and I liked it that way also. The only thing that could sound even more conceited about that was my immense beauty that all witches and wizards possessed. But was I conceited to the point that all I talked and thought about was me. No.
Slowly I climbed out of my extremely warm bed and looked out the window. Rain drizzled down from the heavens and once more the earth was blanketed with fog like most mornings. Jeez, did every single day have to start out dark and dreary in Grand Marias? Apparently, seeing that this made it the seventh day straight with crappy weather starting the morning. Shaking it off, I glanced over to my beeping alarm clock. Amazingly it said that it was almost six in the morning, but I would never set a clock that early. I had no clue why in the world I would set a clock to wake me up at six. Usually I woke up around ten or later without a clock, even on some school days.
School, I shuddered realizing the reason for waking. Today was my first day of non magical school, in other words, mortal high school. How fun. Classes started at different times in my world which also has a time difference than Grand Marias. Normally I would be getting out of my last class in Mizaray, and having to switch schedules was really starting to mess me up.
Looking around my room, the messiness stood out the most. Books and boxes from recently moving were scattered everywhere along with an unknown amount of crinkly brown paper that protected things in the boxes. Wooden furniture laid around the room at odd angles and in weird places. Finding the piece most important to me, an oak desk that always held my wand, I walked over to it. Sleep still clung to my movements, making the grace and finesse in my steps become mulled over as if I consumed a bit too much alcohol. Grabbing the wand I headed downstairs to get ready for school.
As soon as I hopped from the last step to the ground, I ran into the kitchen. The glass wall facing Lake Superior was laced in water ripples from the drizzle. One thing on the window blocked me from seeing the view. A piece of crinkled parchment taped to the window. From where I stood I could already see that it was a note. Walking over to it, the note read:
Emily,
Went to shopping to find new clothing that mortals approve of, and, find Alexa a school to attend. Have fun at your first day of school. The bus will arrive at seven thirty.
-Domi, Dimitri, and Alexandria

Great, I had to ride the bus and face the morning alone. Looking out the glass window once more I tried to calm myself. Small ripples disturbed the bays glass like water. I stared into those ripples, wanting them to wash away this new life I had to act like a good mortal girl in. I wanted the water to cleanse me of the days worry and make everything disappear except for my steady breathing. As usual it worked and I found myself mesmerized by the mortal nature. It deemed so much more soft and lush compared to that of Mizaray. The trees loomed with life and the forest floor was its own life giving utopia. Mizaray’s nature used to be like that once. Now it was altered and burned by the new king. Everything seemed fierce and well, doom like.
Soon I snapped out of the mesmerized state I forced myself into and made myself get ready.
Cool crisp air rushed against my face as I walked out the door. Droplets of dew stuck to me as tree branches hit me with their leaves. I felt at home in these woods, like they were a protected cocoon around me that I could be myself within. I let myself be one with nature as I looked down the daunting mile and a half driveway. I could see naught but forrest and sand from Domi would take away my wand and spell books. Those were my two most prized possessions in this world besides my broom, the Lightning Strike 700.

I think that your story is intriguing and that you write well for your age. You’ve used some terms/words incorrectly, however; for instance, where you write …my steps become mulled over… to mull over means to think about; also, your use of the word deemed is incorrect; deem means to make a judgment. There are indeed some errors in grammar and punctuation, but proofreading may be the key to eliminating those; one I feel obligated to mention is your use of the verb laid; you may not understand that the past tense of lie is lay, not laid. I hope that you won’t think that I am being overly critical, but you asked for a critique of your story’s content. In that regard, I would appreciate your being more explanatory of the plot’s background. I have no clue as to who Domi, Dmitri, and Alexandra are or why suddenly you (the protagonist) are living in Grand Marias on the shores of Lake Superior, where or what Mizaray was/is. To hold my interest, I would want you to make the situation clearer. If you aspire to write for publication, a literary agent or publishing company will not be persuaded to represent or purchase your manuscript because you are only thirteen years old — they aren’t charitable; you must write an original, compelling novel if you hope to see it published, regardless your age! To reiterate, though, you do have definite potential as a writer. What you’ve written thus far is a rough draft; much altering and rewriting will be required in order to produce a professional manuscript, but you surely have the time to do so! Good luck! (I’ve written two novels so am aware of tedious task that making corrections can be — a "necessary evil", nonetheless!)

Philadelphia Eagles vs Atlanta Falcons 34-7 – NFL Highlights week 13

Vick helps Eagles rout ailing Falcons

It was over when …

Sheldon Brown picked off a Chris Redman pass and returned it 83 yards for a touchdown late in the third quarter to give Philadelphia a 27-0 lead.

Game ball

In his first game at the Georgia Dome since departing from the Falcons, Michael Vick put on a show. He scored his first touchdown of the season on a 5-yard run in the third quarter, and then threw his first TD pass of the year in the fourth quarter, connecting with Brent Celek on a 5-yarder.

Key Stat

The Eagles are at their best when they make big plays offensively, and that is exactly what they were able to do against the Falcons, averaging an impressive 6.9 yards per offensive play. The Falcons, on the other hand, averaged just 4.3 yards.

Noteworthy

In his first start since 2007, Falcons QB Chris Redman threw for 235 yards, but had two interceptions. … The Falcons lost their first home game this season. … Seldom-used Eagles FB Leonard Weaver had 100 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. … Philadelphia’s David Akers added to his league-leading field goal total with two more.
