So tat a 4 now, much love to you all, peace. Sincerely, ALEX H.

My opinion on the best skateboarding companies are Girl, Almost, Darkstar, and Zero. Because they are really strong and it also depends on what kind of trucks you have. There are a number of good brands of truck like Thunders, Grind Kings, Kruxs, Ventures, Independent, Destructo, Phantoms, Tensors, Silvers, Ruckus, Monsters, and Elements. The skateboard itself can only withstand 300 pounds of pressure and the trucks can withstand 1000 pounds of pressure. Also some of these have a warranty to back their products. By Michael T

Resident Evil Extinction (rated R - 1 hour 47 minutes) Alice, now hiding in the Nevada desert hiding from a deadly virus that has infected the earth. The virus that infected the earth Is a zombie virus and I heard this Resident Evil Is by far the scariest one of the whole series, the series is made up of 3.. for now. In the Past Resident Evil’s the same things have happened, but this movie is supposed to be the last, but in my opinion I don’t think it will. When I first saw the first Resident Evil It was the scariest movie, but this was back in the day kids when things weren’t as high quality. If you want a scary game or movie well, the movie is just weird in my opinion, but the scariest game I think is out there is the Silent Hill series also as well as the Resident Evil series. by Tyler W.

I’m doing a movie review on a movie called Live Free Die Hard. It’s about this organization that gets this code. This specific code was made up by one of these guys that was fired from the secret services and so this three step code can make the world disappear in to thin air by just a few hours. The first step is to shut down all transportation, the second step is shut down all the power, and the third step is taking over the world. When the government knew someone hacked in to the system, they sent out men to get all of the computer hackers in the world. Bruce Willis plays a guy that was told to go get a computer hacker by the name of Matthew Farrell. When he got to this guy's apartment he was just about to leave, but then some guys started bombing the place, so Bruce Willis kicked butt. Justin Long played Matthew Farrell. When the government discovered that the people that were bombing the place were also using the three step code they made Bruce Willis take him to the white house, but when they were being followed they decided to stop the three step code before it was too late. This Asian girl named Mai Linh that was in love with this guy named Thomas Gabriel played by Timothy Olyphant left off to go to the main place in West Virginia. She was attacked by Bruce Willis and Matthew Farrell. Bruce Willis played John McClane. Bruce Willis was fighting Mai Linh when she threw him out the window. He jumped into a van and drove through the building hitting Mai Linh (her real name is Maggie Q) was ran over. Bruce Willis drove this car through the elevator when he grabbed a cable and held on. Maggie Q died. Bruce Willis got a call from Maggie’s cell phone. It was her boyfriend. Bruce Willis told Thomas Gabriel she was dead. He started crying. Bruce Willis’s daughter was stuck in an elevator when Thomas Gabriel called her. She said she needed help, so he went over there and got her out. His daughter was taken, as a hostage so was Matthew Farrell. I’m not going to tell you anymore. If you want to hear it or see it go buy it or go see it at the dollar theaters. Well, I hope you see it. I thought it was a great action, and adventure film. I really liked it.

Book Review!!! I Know What You Did Last SUMMER!!!! This book was a very good book. So far it is a very, very interesting book. I have never read a book that is as interesting as this one. What I liked about this book is that my favorite author wrote it. My favorite author is Lois Duncan. One thing that happened in this book that I like is that a boy and a girl got married. It was so romantic. They also lived happily ever after.

THE END!!!!!!!!!

Smokers’ Taxes Are you sure you want me to teach you some thing? I don’t care what your answer is I am going to. I am going to teach you about the smokers’ taxes. The newspapers say that the government is going to make the smokers pay a separate tax amount to purchase cigarettes. I think they should pay the taxes, because people who sell cigarettes are basically killing us and victims of second hand smoke and first hand smoke are dying too.

AC/DC is the best music I have listened to. I think you will like it, because it has the song called Back to Back. And they are so cool. I’ve been to one of their concerts and they are the bomb. The way they dressed that is so cool. My friend took me to one of their concerts and we had a blast there.

Opinion Article

Communication Blocks:

I think communication blocks are a very terrible thing. If you ask me I think they make you want to talk even more, which makes the situation worse. Communication blocks are the staff’s way of saying “SHUT UP!” I think the staff should do more of a time out punishment, rather than a shut up for the day thing. That’s what my opinion of communication blocks is.

My favorite video game is Pokemon Stadium 2. It’s a cool video game. It’s where you get to pick your own Pokemons. And you get to go to some challenging place.

My other favorite video game is No Mercy. No Mercy is a wrestling game and you can create your own wrestler.

I need Advice By: Sarah M. So I really don’t like living where I’m living because my family is kind of mean to me and they're really racist because I’m Mexican. What can I do to just get through it until I’m 18. I love my grandma and all, but sometimes they don’t know when to stop. They make jokes about Mexicans and they call me names. And when I react I get in trouble and I feel so hurt every time. What can I do to just stay calm and try to express my feelings in an appropriate way. Please help me!!!!!!!!!

Dear Sarah,

i think it's good that you that you say you love your grandma because it will probably help you work this out. Is there anyone around that can help you talk with your family? If you can find someone that can be a mediator it might make it easier for you to say what you need to and not get in trouble. maybe you can have your therapist be the middle person or a friend or relative that can see your point of view.

Game Review

The Punisher it is one of the coolest games that I have ever played. Most of the games that I play are not fun. I think that the Punisher is the most fun game of all time. I think 9 out of 10 kids have the Punisher. The game Punisher is violent but not sow violent. By IsaacF.

...HOROSCOPE… .for the week. ..Virgo.. Right now would be a good time to set your goal high. You have good instincts and styles, you make all the right moves. Learn when to work and when it is time to play. Get ahead by taking action. You are smart when it comes to money and things. Humble attitude and willpower well also help.

..pisces.. Love might confuse you with lust; Even though they have some similarity. They are totally two different emotions. Try slowing things down. If you are wanting to take things to the next level try going back to the first date again; what attracted you to this person to begin with? If you are single try looking for someone sweet but has energy.

.. ARIES.. Start a savings plan as soon as possible! (a.s.a.p.) It will help achieve a goal you may have. Opportunities to advance your work might just fall right into place for you. Don’t pass it up.

Movie Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End

This movie is about pirates, of course, but certain pirates. First off, there is Davy Jones, the former captain of the Flying Dutchman ship. He is heartbroken about his beloved Tia Dalma. Secondly, Jack Sparrow, one of the pirate lords. (He is a little bit of a drunk, you’d say) But he is one of the good-humored characters. Anyways…this movie is about Jack defeating Davy Jones, that is, killing him, of course. Davy dies, and Will Turner’s father has to carve out his own son’s heart to replace Davy Jones’ heart.

Book Review By: John P 3

The Lightning Thief

• This book was a very good book because it had a mixture of reality and a hint of myths and legends. • There are two other books that are sequels to this book, which I have only read two of the three. • This book plays out as a boy named Percy Jackson is on a field trip, when his substitute teacher turns into a ravenous flying monster and tries to kill him. It turns out that he’s the son of an ancient Greek god named Poseidon. • So he meets up with a satyr named Grover and the daughter of the greek goddess Athena to find something that stole lord Zues’s lighting bolt.
