How To Beat Carnival Games
Rope Ladder:
The trick to climbing carnival rope ladders is to completely ignore the "rungs" and only use the outside ropes to climb on.
While applying equal pressure with your right foot and left arm, mover your left foot and right arm uat the same time. Then do the same thing with the opposite limbs -- shimmying yourself up the ladder.
Do not mover both hands or both feet at the same time - you will lose your balance.
Ring Toss Game:
Snap your wrist as you throw the ring to achieve the most spin possible, this will stabilize the ring making it easier to land cleanly on your target.
Balloon Dart Throw:
The balloons are under-inflated, and the dart tips are dull. Forget accuracy and throw the dart as hard as you can. Most people aim for the middle, so the game operators will often hide the "good prize" etiquetas behind balloons on the outside edges.
Shoot out the Star:
In this skill game you need to completely remove the red estrela using a BB gun.
Very hard to beat, even for a good marksman. The trick is to shoot around the star, rather than trying to shoot out the estrela itself.
Complete the círculo and the center of the paper will fall away taking the red estrela with it.
Also note that the barrels are often bent, and their marks not accurate. Within the first few shots it's important to gauge just how far off the mark the gun shoots and adjust your aim accordingly.
Basket Toss:
Lean over to get as close to the basket as you are allowed. Toss the ball gently using some backspin. Aim for the inside upper lip of the basket.
Guess your weight, age or birth month:
Unless you very over-weight or really don't look your age, it's best to go with the birth month. Some carnies still use an old scam for guessing your birth month.
If the carny uses this trick (not all do) they will scribble down something like the image on the right. Does it say Jun, Jul, or Jan? The guesser could claim it be whichever one is closest to your birth month. That wide spread allows the carny to be within 2 months of any month, except one: October.
So if you think you are dealing with a shady operator, always say "October" is your birth month.
Coin Toss Game:
The object is to toss a coin onto a plate without the coin bouncing off. There are a few tricks to increasing the odds of winning this game:
1. Use a very high arc, with as little spin as possible when tossing the coin. You can even try tossing the coin right up into the hanging stuffed animais above.
2. Covertly cover the coin with spit before tossing it.
3. Some people recommend purposely bouncing the coin off one plate in order to make a segundo bounce land on a plate safely.
Stand the bottle:
You are given a fishing pole with a small ring attached to the end of the line. Your goal is make a soda bottle (laying on its side) stand using this contraption.
The trick is to PUSH the bottle up rather than pull it up.
leite Bottle Throw:
The bottles used in this carnival game are often made with leaded glasses making them very heavy.
The secret to winning the leite bottle throw is to aim at the base of the bottom two containers rather then at the intersection of all three bottles.
Test Your Strength:
The goal is to whack the base of this game with a mallet causing a weight shoot up and ring a bell. The trick is all in accuracy and technique rather than strength. A few tips:
1. Accuracy is the key, be sure to hit the center of base.
2. Hold the mallet as far down the handle as possible while still achieving a firm grip.
3. Hold the mallet over your head, arms completely extended, arch your body backwards. Give a few slow motion test swings to judge how far you should stand away from the target to hit it dead-center. Using this method you will achieve the most momentum and still accurately hit the target.
BasketBall Free-Throw:
You have a lot going against you in this game. The ball is over-inflated, the hoop is smaller than regulation size and often an oval shape rather than circular. The backboard is plywood making it extra bouncy. So forget about throwing a normal free-throw shot.
The key is to use a high arc. Do not try to rebound the shot off the backboard -- the ball will always bounce too much. To win this game you must make a perfect swish, no backboard.

I am sorry. I hate it when i have to do this, because i know that it's really silly! But the only reason why i wouldn't fã anyone back, would be if they had joined the twilight saga club. I can see it on their perfil and i immediately go all prejudice against them.
I shouldn't, i know, but it's against my morals to fã someone who loves the Twilight saga. If you're only a fã of Twilight, sometimes i forgive you... if you've done something to earn my respect.
Which would lead me onto my seguinte reason...
If you have done nothing to earn my friendship, and not joined any of my favourite/major clubs, then i don't feel obliged to fã you.
However, if i can see that you're a fã of 'Random' or 'Harry Potter' or 'HP v T' etc, then the probability is that i will fã you back.
On the other hand, if you are looking at this thinking that you haven't done any of these things, then feel free to fã me... i'll gladly return the favour! :)

Hopefully I will have another chapter soon, but this story is awfully difficult to write so I'll have to leave you hanging. I think my título is reasonable (I think my descripton will be something like 'It's said that even the smallest thing has an effect similar to dropping a stone in a pond - it causes a ripple that effects everyone in one way or another.') but please give me feedback.
This just the prologue, but please let me know what you think!
***************
We were only young. We didn't know what was ahead of us. We were blind. If we had have opened our eyes we could have stopped what happened. We could have stopped that stone from being thrown in our calm lake.
But it happened, and that's something none of us can accept, even after all these years. I look at the fotografia on my end mesa, tabela and wonder what could have been. She was the light of our lives, and we didn't even know until she was gone.
