Giant Sinkhole

Sinkhole in Guatemala City

In this photo, a huge sinkhole covers a street intersection in downtown Guatemala City, Monday May 31, 2010. A day earlier, authorities blamed the heavy rains caused by tropical storm Agatha as the cause of the sinkhole that demolished a three-story building but now say they will be conducting further studies to determine the cause. This sinkhole killed 60 people inside.  The building was crushed going down the hole.

Finals are coming.

June 2nd, 2010

We all know that finals are coming up and I will give you guys a little help on how to study. I talked to Sarah Moore. She says that for “I don’t really think flashcards are the best thing. Since there are a lot of topics to cover I basically use my notes and labs and even my old quizzes to see what I need to look over more.” That is how to study for science. Sarah also talks about history, English, and math. “In history since we have to be able to know every state in the United States I get a blank map and practice the whole night until I can do it easily.” Now we turn to George to tell us how he studies for history finals. “I learned the presidents by going over them to see the ones I know and then practice the ones I don’t know and learn them by repetition forward and back.” I study for math by looking over the study guides and making my own problems. In English all I do is read my poem over and over until it’s memorized.

Orrin and Lyxma Advice Column

June 2nd, 2010

Dear Orrin and Lyxma,
I have liked the same person for the whole year and we are REALLY good friends. They talk to me about the people they like and it’s never me! I find myself getting really sad and jealous which is not good. Time is running out and I don’t know how to tell them I like them even though I know they don’t like me. What do I say? Since I don’t have much time. They have liked like, everyone else but me! I’m really sad.
-Passed Over
Dear Passed Over,
I am sympathetic; I’ve had the same problem in the past. You, though, are going to handle it better than I have. Don’t try bold attempts. Go subtle. Try smiling at him more, sending him notes in his cubby. Keep it appropriate, of course. Just be nice to him as much as you can. You never know! Good luck.

Lyxma
PS. Though my solution may work, always examine Orrin’s as well.
Dear Passed Over,
You may just want to not tell him. If you are already really good friends, then telling them you like them should not change anything. They may actually like you and just not be saying it to you because you’re right there. It may be hard for them to tell you, just like it’s hard for you to tell them. Good luck!
From,
Orrin

Everyone knows that Star Wars episode VI is the complete end of Star Wars, right? Wrong! 125 years later, In Star Wars: Legacy,the empire has returned! It turns out that it works just like a republic, and it’s being led by a former Jedi, so it’s really not that bad. Wrong! It has just been taken over by the Sith! If only there was a Skywalker to save the day! Good news, there is. Bad news, he’s a drug addicted bounty hunter. After watching his father die at the hands of the Sith lord, Darth Nihil, Cade Skywalker, the great-grandson of Anakin Skywalker, turns to a life of crime and bounty hunting. Will he come around and save the day, or will the Dark side finally rule the galaxy? Find out in Star Wars: Legacy. This is a long series, and for what I’ve read (Vol. 1-5) I give a 5 out of 5.
