ports THE Super Bowl was a bummer because I wanted the 49ERS to win the game. The 49ERS were coming back at the end of the game. It was a really good game. On Sunday we had a party with food and drinks. We had chips and soda for the party. By Chase

**__What’s Hot __** **__& __** **__What’s Not __** Hot:


 * Ø Natural Beauty

Cake faces are such a turn off, an original is always worth more than a copy.




 * Ø Integrity

Liars, hypocrites, cheaters, fakers.

What’s a worse reputation?




 * Ø Giraffes

Purple tongues? Too Original. 


 * Ø Clothes That Fit

From muffin tops to drowning in your shirts, flattering yourself shows that you care about yourself.




 * Ø <span style="font-family: 'Baskerville Old Face',serif; font-size: 18pt;">Correct Grammar

<span style="font-family: 'Baskerville Old Face',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Misspelling your words, especially on purpose, frankly looks like you need to go back to second grade.



<span style="font-family: 'Baskerville Old Face',serif; font-size: 20pt; line-height: 1.5;">Not:


 * Ø <span style="font-family: 'Baskerville Old Face',serif; font-size: 18pt;">Provocative Attitudes

<span style="font-family: 'Baskerville Old Face',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Don’t be like the heel of the bread, everyone touches it but nobody wants it. Respect yourself.


 * Ø <span style="font-family: 'Baskerville Old Face',serif; font-size: 18pt;">Indirectness

<span style="font-family: 'Baskerville Old Face',serif; font-size: 12pt;">We know what you want, it’s just irritating that you can’t be straight up.




 * Ø <span style="font-family: 'Baskerville Old Face',serif; font-size: 18pt;">Apathy

<span style="font-family: 'Baskerville Old Face',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Care about yourself and your future. If you don’t, how can you expect anyone else to?
 * Ø <span style="font-family: 'Baskerville Old Face',serif; font-size: 18pt;">Carbonation

<span style="font-family: 'Baskerville Old Face',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Just a stomach ache waiting to happen.


 * Ø <span style="font-family: 'Baskerville Old Face',serif; font-size: 18pt;">Uncleanliness

<span style="font-family: 'Baskerville Old Face',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Cockroaches.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'arial rounded mt bold',sans-serif; font-size: 37px; text-align: center;">Super Bowl(:

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'arial rounded mt bold',sans-serif; font-size: 29px; text-align: center;">Okay, so Super Bowl was last Sunday and I’m not so happy about it. I can’t believe that the 49ers lost to the Ravens. It was funny though, all of us were sitting in front of the TV yelling at it. If it wasn’t for Vernon Davis #85 and his butterfingers we might have just won. I mean Colin Kaepernick’s #7 passes were just outstanding!

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'arial rounded mt bold',sans-serif; font-size: 29px; text-align: center;">Maybe next year, Right?(:

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'arial rounded mt bold',sans-serif; font-size: 29px; text-align: center;">__ Football __ <span style="color: red; display: block; font-family: 'edwardian script itc'; font-size: 29px; text-align: center;">Football is one of my favorite things to do. The reason why I like to play football is because I like the adrenaline rush I get when I catch the football, and start to run for a touchdown. Another reason why I like it is because I get to tackle people to the ground. My friends and I like to play football in the summer when we don’t have anything to do. It used to keep us out of trouble most of the time. But I got into drugs and I started to get into a lot of trouble and I hardly play football, because I’m always locked up. <span style="color: red; display: block; font-family: 'edwardian script itc'; font-size: 29px; text-align: center;">By: Joseph

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'arial rounded mt bold',sans-serif; font-size: 29px; text-align: center;">__ Wiz Khalifa __: He’s tight, right now he has some way good songs such as: On My Level, Rollup, and you know just everything sick. I think that everyone should listen to him cuz his lyrics run deep and it gets you that mood you KNOW?



<span style="display: block; font-family: 'arial rounded mt bold',sans-serif; font-size: 29px; text-align: center;">__ Kid Cudi __: He’s also tight. Here are some songs that I like: Mojo So tight, Cleveland, Dat new new, sound track to my life, and really just all of them. I can’t get enough of it always gets me up and movin or bobbin my head real nice like. Can’t wait to get out and listen to more of his songs.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'arial rounded mt bold',sans-serif; font-size: 29px; text-align: center;">__ Machine Gun Kelly __ :ooooooooooooh he sick. The song that I really dig by him is called, Long Road Home. I personally have been listening to that song a lot lately, once it’s over I just want to keep replaying it over and over and over again. It really fits the situations that we are in right now. I would have to say that it gives me motivation to keep pushing forward.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'arial rounded mt bold',sans-serif; font-size: 29px; text-align: center;">__ Baltimore vs. San Francisco __

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'bernard mt condensed',serif; font-size: 32px; text-align: center;">This last Sunday was the Super Bowl. It was with the Baltimore Ravens, and the San Francisco 49ers. The quarterback for the 49ers, is Colin Kaepernick. On Sunday, Kaepernick threw 302 yards. He was also the first San Francisco quarterback to throw an interception in the Super Bowl. Over all, he did really well for his first Super Bowl. The quarter back for Baltimore is Joe Flacco. This was an interesting Super Bowl, for many reasons. First off, the coaches of both teams are brothers, Jim and John Harbaugh. In the middle of the game, the power to the whole stadium went out, for 35 minutes. At this point, Ravens were up 26-6. After the power returned, the 49ers shot up fast. In the end, the Ravens won, 34-31. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'bernard mt condensed',serif; font-size: 32px; text-align: center;">By Tyler

Movies

I think the best movie of the year is Spider Man 3!!!!! I like this movie because of Venom!!! I like this character because he is big and black. This movie was made in 2009/2010 but I think this is the Best. This movie is about Peter Parker [AKA SPIDER MAN] who finds super cool super villains. By Justin

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'bernard mt condensed',serif; font-size: 20pt; text-align: center;">Music of my opinion of music <span style="display: block; font-family: 'bernard mt condensed',serif; font-size: 20pt; text-align: center;">Why I like Christina Augularia is because how strong and beautiful her voice is. She made it off of Disney channel and then followed her dream as a big singer. Now she is a famous singer and now everyone likes her. There’s not one person who doesn’t know her name. Two favorite songs by her are Beautiful Rock and Your Sweet Love. <span style="display: block; font-family: 'bernard mt condensed',serif; font-size: 20pt; text-align: center;">By Aria.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'bernard mt condensed',serif; font-size: 20pt; text-align: center;">Adele is a wonderful British singer who has an amazing voice. All of her songs I like because she is a unique singer who makes sad songs into happy songs. The way she sings makes me so jealous and she does not use stuff to make her voice sound better, it is just her real voice. She has been doing music for a long time and now she just got a awarded for her big single: Sky Fall. Now she just hade a baby and I hope she is still going to make music, because I would be so sad if doesn’t, because she is so talented and has such a great voice and that is my story on Adele.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'bernard mt condensed',serif; font-size: 20pt; text-align: center;">Sia is a great singer, because her voice is so amazing and even though she is not that pretty her voice and her personality makes her so beautiful. Her life story makes her so strong, the way she got her life together and started to write music and then she decided to write music for other people and now she has a song with Florider and David Gutta and now she has written a song for Neyo. I wonder what she is going to do next.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'times new roman',serif; font-size: 48px; text-align: center;">Valentine’s Day <span style="display: block; font-family: 'times new roman',serif; font-size: 19px; text-align: center;">Valentine’s Day is coming up and it’s time for love! Valentine’s Day started when a man named Saint Valentine was imprisoned for doing weddings for soldiers that were forbidden to be married. On his execution he wrote “from your valentine” and that is where the saying came from. So this year tell the person you love about how much you admire them and love them, and have a wonderful Valentine’s Day.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 18px;">So, Super Bowl Sunday is over and now the question I keep getting is, “Did you watch the game?” To answer, no I did not. To be completely honest, I never really cared much about football or really any other traditional sport despite all of the all American sports propaganda I was fed since I was a child. Everything from bed sheets to bookends, despite the fact that I //never// once showed any interest. One day I actually did gain an interest in basketball and so I told them “I want to play basketball.” So of course they promptly put me in //tee-ball.// You know, baseballs handicapped little brother, where instead of throwing the ball to you they put it on a post and you’re supposed to hit it as far as you can. The game where 20% of the kids run in the wrong direction, 30% of the kids spend their time in the outfield eating grass, 35% of the kids strike out, and 15% of the kids actually have the attention span to play. Like I said before, I never really cared much for sports. One of the biggest reasons I don’t watch football is that I don’t really have the patience for it. They spend 30 seconds making a play and then spend 5 minutes talking about it. No thank you. That doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy the food though. I was standing at the buffet table getting a bowl of ice cream and some seven layer dip when someone asked me, “Who are you rooting for?” <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 18px;">“Uh… who are //you// rooting for?” <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 18px;">“The Ravens” <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 18px;">“WHOO! RAVENS! FOOTBALL! ...YEAH!” <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black','sans-serif'; font-size: 18px;">The part I enjoy most about the Super Bowl is the commercials, and thanks to modern technology and YouTube, I no longer have to sit through all that football crap. I got a good solid 20 minutes of chuckles and I didn’t even have to sit through halftime. My people, //this// is progress. At this rate, we should have jetpacks and gummy bears growing on bushes in the next few thousand years.

<span style="font-family: 'Agency FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 27px;">Book Review <span style="font-family: 'Agency FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 27px;"> <span style="font-family: 'Agency FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 27px;">I read the book Go Ask Alice and I really liked it. It was about a young girl that becomes addicted to drugs and it tells about how she got through her addiction. I think that her story is really deep and explains a lot about teenage addiction. This is a really good book for teenagers because many can relate to her story. I recommend it to any teenagers that have struggled with addiction. <span style="font-family: 'Agency FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 27px;">By: Savannah

<span style="font-family: 'Bernard MT Condensed','serif'; font-size: 19px;">Kendrick Lamar is my favorite rapper. He’s been around for awhile, just been in the dark for a long time looking to make a vow soon. Right now he’s putting out an album which would be Good Kid. His first major label album. Which landing number 2 album in the top 10. Kendrick got his name Lamar from working with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog. They crowned his the new West Coast King By;Kaine

Dear Artec news The kids need more work in class to keep them busy in class and we need more gym classes twice a day. Ok,we will give you more work, but we don't have time to give more gym classes, because we need to give the other subjects too. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT WATER BOTTLES? I THINK WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE WATER BOTTLES HERE. The problem with this is that kids share and then pass germs, also some kids sneak things in their water bottles that aren't water. WHY DON’T WE HAVE BREAKFAST? I THINK WE SHOULD AT LEAST GIVE BREAKFEAST A CHANCE. I agree, but for now eat a big breakfast at home. WHY DON’T WE HAVE CANDY IN CLASS? I THINK THAT IT WOULD HELP THE KIDS BE A LITTLE BIT HAPPY ALL THROUGH OUT THE DAY WITH CANDY TO SNACK ON. We do have some candy in class, but if we gave too much it would cost too much, and become a distraction. Also, kids leave their candy wrappers everywhere. Communication with others. like be allowed to talk to kids who you may not like and you have to be nice.

My philosophy of drawing

When I draw I try to shade more so that I give the picture more definition. Also when somebody draws, to me the idea of a drawing or painting or something there of is to try and bring a particular thought or image to life. So start by giving the image/thought a light outline so that you can redo or fix a mistake. Then as you get more detailed and closer to the final product of the sketch you darken your sketch’s details so that they are more defined and noticeable. Then if you want to make it more permanent you can ink you drawing with a fine point or a broader point ink pen of your preference. I prefer to ink the finer details first then move to the more broader details. Good luck. Yours truly… Angel
