Resolved Question: Is this story any good?
I'm just writing this for fun, and out of boredom. So if you have any suggestions//corrections please tell me! Life of a Teenage Assassin ((Unsure if official title)) My long brown hair billowed in the cool night wind; my bangs were slightly covering my face. I shook it away, and focused my sniper scope onto a window pane where a silhouette was seen. My target opened his window, also wanting a refreshing breeze. His cell phone rang a strange tune; I could hear it because of my ear piece. The man, who is Governor Cleveland Marks, paced around the empty room; most likely making a deal with the Russian ambassador. I had some time until he stopped the retched pacing. My walkie-talkie began to speak to me. “In three-point-five seconds he will stop. Then take the shot, Agent 98225.” As promised the Governor stopped back facing me. Slowly I pulled the trigger, and watched the Governor’s body fall, blood splattering onto the white walls. I took out my harpoon and aimed the slightly heavy object to the top of the Governor’s mansion. The arrow shot out in a silent whoosh, and implanted itself into the stone. Locking the gun into place I took off my belt and used it to slide on the thick wire, into his den. “98225 get the information on the Governor’s military information he’s traded to the other countries off his laptop.” I looked around the warm den, beginning to sweat from nervousness, adrenalin, and the heat of the fire place. I searched vigorously through desk drawers, and of course it was in the one drawer that was locked. I reached to my laser pen, it wasn’t there. A flashback came to me of something shinny dropping from my belt. “Damn.” I muttered under my breath. Slowly walking, choosing my steps wisely on the squeaky floor boards, to the dead Governor. I rolled him over with a huff. I searched through his jacket; I saw a gaping hole in his head where the bullet exited. “Ew, ew, ew!” I whispered, opening the jacket to look through the inner left breast-pocket. I grabbed the shinny keys and silently made my way back to the drawer. My hands were shaking so bad from adrenalin that I couldn’t get the key in the key hole. The keys slipped through my fingers, and made what sounded like crash through the silence of the night. “Shit!” I whisper-yelled, I quickly picked them up quickly and shoved the key into the hole. Turning the key to the right, I heard heavy footsteps coming towards the room. Opening the drawer I grabbed the laptop and set it on top of the desk. There was a knock on the door, then a deep voice. “Governor, are you alright?” the man asked, I’m guessing it was a security guard. There was those ten seconds of silence, carefully I watched the door knob turn counter-clockwise. I was now hiding behind the oak desk, holding my breath not making a sound. Once the security guard had his back to me; I silently side-stepped behind him. I watched the back of his head, stepping around the loose floor boards again. I took one wrong step, and there was a slight squeak. He turned around whipping his gun out and pointing it at me. Luckily I had my face mask on so I was unidentifiable. I put my hands behind my head, “Unload your weapons, now!” he screamed. I pulled the pistol out of my gun holster, and set it on the floor. I stood back up slowly. “Don’t move an inch.” He said turning around to inspect the dead body. I crouched to one knee, he spun around. “Just tying my shoe sir, don’t want to trip.” He nodded and continued searching the body. I pushed my sock down and pulled out my switchblade. I stalked up behind the man who was twice my size. I wrapped my arm around his neck and pushed the blade out, holding it to his neck. He grabbed my arm and flipped my over. I crashed to the floor, hitting my arm just right dislocating it. I screamed, he came towards me pointing both mine and his pistols at my head. I had to think quickly, this is what all that training was for right? I round-house kicked his hands hearing them snap. I held my shoulder closely to my body; I kicked the back of his knees, making him crash to the ground. My pistol was just in reach of my hand. I pulled it into my palm, and shot the security guard. His body shook from the fast movement of the speeding bullet. I stumbled up to my feet and sprinted to the desk, grabbed the lap-top and got my ass out of that hell hole. Once I got far away enough from the mansion I took out my walkie-talkie and spoke into it. “Mission is complete boss.” I told him. “Good, now get your goddamn ass off that roof 98225,” He semi-screamed. I rolled my eyes, though he can’t see. I hopped from roof top to roof top. At one point I climbed down a ladder and into my sleek black Lamborghini looking car. Quickly I slid the silver key into the ignition, listening to my car’s deep purr. I sped away, through back alleys, into deep forests wasting time away until I was told what to do next. I eventually stopped in the middle of a dark forest so I could pop mBTW I'm only 13 so yeah lol moreResolved Question: At one time the MLB games tended to be low scoring, dominated by such pitchers as Walter Johnson, Cy Young, Ch?
At one time the MLB games tended to be low scoring, dominated by such pitchers as Walter Johnson, Cy Young, Christy Mathewson, and Grover Cleveland Alexander to the extent that the period 1900–1919 is commonly called the _____________. The term also accurately describes the condition of the baseball itself. Baseballs cost three dollars apiece, a hefty sum at the time, equaling approximately $65 inflation adjusted US dollars as of 2005; club owners were therefore reluctant to spend much money on new balls if not necessary. It was not unusual for a single baseball to last an entire game. By the end of the game, the ball would be dark with grass, mud, and tobacco juice, and it would be misshapen and lumpy from contact with the bat. Balls were only replaced if they were hit into the crowd and lost, and many clubs employed security guards expressly for the purpose of retrieving balls hit into the stands—a practice unthinkable today. moreResolved Question: House of Blues..Cleveland, OH. How would you go about trying to meet a band there?
I've been to the house of blues in Cleveland a few times. I'm going to a concert there in about 2 months to see my favorite bands. I have never attempted to try and meet anyone there.

Wtf? moreResolved Question: What can we do about private corporations rigging elections and alienating voters?
Clint Curtis, a computer programmer for Yang Enterprises revealed that Republican Congressional Representative Tom Feeny requested a software to rig voting machines in favor of Republicans. He passed a polygraph lie detector test while Feeny refused to take one. For blowing the whistle, he received threats like his dog being shot, he was offered a million dollars to keep quiet, and was finally fired from another job he took with a company connected to Yang Enterprises. He finally ended up stocking shelves at the grocery store. A person investigating the situation for him got shot, and all major media ignored his situation. It was proven by every group that studied election fraud including one done by the government, two in California, by Cynthia McKinney in Georgia, and by Princeton (Artie Feldman) that voter machines were hacked. Diebold voter machines could be hacked using a bootloader hack, and 80% of voter machines are Diebold machines. Optical scans and EF&F scans were hacked also. Feldman proved that hacked machines could spread software to other machines, so all could vote for a desired candidate. Machines added about 6 votes per precinct, and were different from hand counts. Not to mention the fact that companies admitted that 20-30 machines jumped from Democrat to Republican. Records of votes were destroyed. People trying to investigate or look in the trash were fought off by guards. Furthermore, heads of voter machine companies are tied to the Bush administration. One is introduced at the start of Fahrenheit 911. Another company named Smartech hosts Karl Rove's email accounts and GOP Republican websites. Moreover, the head maintenance guy for one set of machines said his goal in life is to shoot a liberal and make him know that it is he and not the gun that killed him. Cleveland had votes purged, Toledo lost voting opportunity, and Ohio booths had to close supposedly because of a homeland security threat that homeland security confessed they knew nothing about. These places have overwhelmingly Democratic, Black, and Latino people. Many had to stand on long lines for 7 hours, and of course the elderly and working people had to leave without voting. The excuse was that they forgot to unload extra machines. This alienates voters. In other countries they use paper. What can we do about this problem? Murder Spies and Voting Lies Recounting Democracy Fahrenheit 911 Linktv.org For those who did not see my sources, look at the last four lines above this one.For those who said the Democrats did it manually for decades, can you cite sources as I did above. We know that Bush did it twice. One in Florida and one as I described above. How did the Democrats do it? I'm a radical who supports Democrats when they are honest, or votes for them as the lesser of two evils when the only other possible choice is a Republican who declares war on my community and communities like mine. Even when I vote Democrat as the lesser of two evils, I hold the candidate accountable through activism. However, I am not dismissive if I learn about scandals in either party because when a politician wins an election, they don't have the right to laugh at the people and set about breaking all of their promises.Run for office? I might be too radical. Don't know if I would have wide appeal without compromising. I think I might be more effective organizing the oppressed at the grassroots. moreResolved Question: Where could I take a security guard course in cleveland ohio?

AN AMATEUR photographer was restrained by security guards after he was challenged for taking pictures in a public place. Lawrence Windrush was outside The Mall (that means the Cleveland Centre) in Linthorpe Road, in Middlesbrough town centre, with his camera when he looked through his zoom lens at an incident in the street involving security guards and the police. Moments later he was confronted by a guard from Northern Security who he claims challenged his right to take photos and tried to detain him. Since then video footage of the incident taken by his friend has been viewed more than 16,000 times on an internet site. http://www.flickr.com/photos/photodrift/2422740769 I take pictures all the time - as many people do. Some people take pictures for a living, some as a hobby.

So, McMahon went with a double main event of Hogan-Sid and Flair-Savage. • Prior to WMX, McMahon had Lex Luger come out with the world belt for a television taping, scheduled to air after the pay-per-view.

Shawn tried to be the brave one and he ended up suffering for it. • The WWF says that the Dynamite Kid left the WWF and retired because of an injury. Actually, the Kid still wrestles in England and the real reason he left was because of a locker room fight with him and Jacques Rougeau.

Neidhart had been fired and was filling contractual obligations, which including jobbing the tag titles to another team. In what should have been a minor point, the top rope broke at one point during the match. The Rockers defended the titles for a week after that, but then Neidhart was re-hired by the WWF, and Vince McMahon decided that the title change never actually happened, in one of the goofier decisions of the 90s, and one of many to affect the careers of Shawn and Bret. As an explanation, a story was sent to Pro Wrestling Illustrated about the rope break causing an "unfair working environment" for both teams, and hence the title reign was annulled. This was simply to cover up for the fact that they reported the title change as fact a week prior and needed a reason to no longer report it as such. The title change was edited out of the Main Event broadcast, and thus went down in history that the Rockers never had the belt. • From 1986-1989 Ric Flair averaged 34 minutes per-match.

The number of dead at the Pentagon and on the hijacked airliners numbered approximately 385. Since Yasser Arafat "renounced" violence in the Oslo Peace Accords on September 13, 1993, at least 53 Americans have been murdered and at least another 83 Americans have been injured by Palestinian terrorism. Excluding the September 11 attacks, approximately 700 Americans have been killed and 1,600 wounded in terrorist attacks since 1970.
