TH1RTEEN R3ASONS WHY by Jay Asher
The bone chilling novel written by Jay Asher is one which once you pick it up you can't set it down. The book tells a story that in some ways everyone will be able to relate to, making it that much easier to read.
The book begins at the end of the story, playing back to you what has already happened. It begins with one of the main characters and co narrator, Clay Jensen. This story all begins when Clay's biggest crush commits suicide and a box full of audiotapes were sent out to 13 people. Clay's crushes name is Hannah Baker. Before she killer herself she made the audiotapes, put them in a box, and mailed them to the first person on her list. After the person that was currently holding the tapes listened to all 13 of the tapes they would box them up, just as they were when they received them, and send them to the next person on Hannah Baker's list. This would just repeat until all the people intended to receive the tapes had and listened to them all.
The tapes consisted of the names of the 13 people on Hannah's list. They told each of them reasons why she killer herself. Clay, being a receiver of the tapes, stays up all night, follows the map that was mysteriously put into his locker a week earlier that corresponds with the places Hannah talks about on her audiotapes, all the way up until he has listened to all the tapes. Then the next morning he does what hes supposed to do and sends it to the next person on the list. The thirteenth tape is about a person that no one would ever expect.
The story was very good and it would keep you wanting to read more until your done learning why Hannah killed herself, but there were some bad points about the story. The author gives Hannah a voice that gets on your nerves really easily. Sometimes you can relate to her and empathetic for her, other times you are so close to closing the book because you can't believe that the author would actually make her say such things. She talks about suicide like there is nothing wrong with it, like it is a joke to her. She also has 13 people on her list, but some of the actions they did to be placed on her list were minor everyday teenage things, and that gets old really fast. Also in the end you realize how cheesy the book really is. Reading the book about a girl telling her whole life story all the way up until she murders herself may be a waste of time for some people.
The way that this author can joke around about suicide is not as funny they may have thought it was.Yes, Jay Asher probably has dealt with suicide with somebody close to them committing suicide, but how could you write an entire book with a dead girl joking about killing herself. When Hannah Baker tells the listener exactly how she will kill herself the story may have been taken a little bit too far. Also, when reading the book I thought to myself how would I react if someone I knew made audiotapes before they killed themselves, just to send them to peole to hear the reasons why they made it to their list.
The organization of the book was fresh and fun. The author dividing the book up by cassettes and sides was original and made reading the story easier. The authors voice was somewhat annoying at times, but in general it was a good read.

Think Twice About Drunk Driving
Every day law enforcement workers do their duties without even thinking about it, but April 22, 2009, in the Tongue River High School parking lot, the rescue crew, cops, and fire fighters had to demonstrate their skills for observing high school students, teachers, and some community members. As these people watched a drunk driving assembly, they watched five students, from the school, act as if they had been in a collision with a drunk driver. The rescue team, fire fighters, and cops acted as if it was a real life situation and demonstrated the seriousness of drunk driving and the outcome of making that decision.
Unlike other demonstrations the law enforcement peoples actually used their sirens, showed the audience every detail of what happens when they come upon a crash, and showed them what can really happen to students in high school. The selected students were Paige Miller, Kelsie Dellos, Sean Reynolds, Colton Caywood, and Andrew Orchard. They were in actual prom attire and had fake blood and make up on, for dramatic effect, making the situation more real feeling than it was. These students agreed to take part in the scenario. The cops had them act out a prom night where four students were in one car, and none of them had been drinking alcohol, while another student was in another car, who had been drinking alcohol. During this skit one student died, another was paralyzed, two more were hurt but no long term injuries, and the drunk driver was left unharmed. This demonstration was to show the students how important it is to make the right choice and not drink and drive. They showed the students how they use the jaws of life and how scary the situation really is.
After the real life demonstration was done the students headed to the auditorium to watch a video about driving, listened to a speaker, and had a question and answer period about the whole presentation. The speaker talked about how drinking and driving was a poor choice and it effects more than just the driver's life, it effects the whole community in different ways. She also read a poem and talked about how she, as a mother, would rather have her child be drove home by a sober driver than have her drunk kid drive home. Then the audience watched a video of four stories about wrecks that changed many lives forever. Then there was time to ask questions about the whole ordeal. Some of the questions were directed towards the students saying things like, "how did you feel when you were placed into the body bag?" Miller answered, "I was just trying to tell myself that it wasn't real and I was alive, but the sirens and everything made it so real that I became scared. It was also hot and sweaty."
At this meeting they also talked about how drinking is not the only contributing factor to wrecks. They shared statistics about how it is more dangerous to ride in a vehicle full of teenagers than riding with a drunk driver. They also told how cell phones are huge reason for many wrecks, whether it be texting or talking on the phone. In general, the assembly was to put a voice into the student's head so the officers wouldn't have to come across a real wreck, with real people, and real blood.
In general the assembly was effective to teach the community about the dangers of driving, drinking, and what really happens at a wreck.

Restraunt Review 4-23-09
“Its way better than fast food its Wendy’s.” Today fast food is not a treat; fast food is a life style. Millions of people visit fast food restaurants everyday, in taking over half of their daily calories in one meal. Like every restaurant Wendy’s promises fresh food, clean environment, and friendly service and you can’t forget. Plus they’re open 24 hours a day.
We all know that fast food is bad for our bodies and our hearts; however, we still get caught up in the rush of the day and eat it. I eat Wendy’s quite often actually, as opposed to other fast food restaurants. I do believe that out of all of the fast food restaurants Wendy’s is by far the healthiest of them. It is somewhat of an oxymoron to say a fast food restaurant is healthy, but I believe it to be true. Wendy’s offers a wide variety of sides; potatoes, fruit, salads, chili, and of course french fries. Wendy's also has some of the best salt ever. I always order the #7 spicy chicken sandwiches, it’s delicious. Sometimes I will also get a frosty, for my fries. The other day, I went into the restaurant ordering my usual. This time I got curious as to what I really was eating and if it really was the healthiest. I discovered that my thoughts were wrong no matter how good that frosty tasted.
I found out many things I never wanted to know. The service was great and the restaurant was not filthy, however that frosty I just consumed was 560 calories. Needless to say I was sickened.
In a McDonalds “Big Mac” there is about 570 calories, which in just the sandwich, is about a fourth of daily calories. In a Wendy’s “Baconator” there is over 800, In there triple stack sandwich there is almost a thousand plus 69 grams of fat. The usual a chicken sandwich, fries, frosty and a Dr. pepper is 1610 calories while they say a daily calorie intake is 2000.
All in all I consume one days worth of calories in one meal. Needless to say I will think twice about getting caught up in the rush and eating at Wendy’s again.

Pro-Life vs. Pro-Choice?
opposing blog
Alex Orchard asked the question would I ever murder a human? Well the answer to that is no, of course. That question is unfair to relate to abortion though. You have to take into consideration the circumstances of the pregnancy to really say that the woman is a murderer. There are many reasons why abortion should be perfectly legal.
Abortion is necessary because of drugs and alcohol playing a role in people's lives. Drugs and alcohol make you thinking less clear and if a woman were under the influence, not because she took the drug but someone might have slipped it into her drink, and she happened to have unprotected sex with some guy she didn't know you cannot assume that the woman would want to have that baby. How would you feel not even knowing this guy that conceived your so called "baby," even though you were only pregnant for less than a month, and being told that you would have to have that child because abortion is illegal? You wouldn't like it because that child was an accident, and you did not get the chance to decide if you were ready for the responsibilities of raising a life.
Some people argue that this is taking a helpless life away. Can you really consider tissues as being a life? Yes these tissues, if left unharmed, will eventually become a human, but if stopped right away there is nothing harmed from an abortion. I know that it may sound heartless to say "nothing is harmed" but in the big scheme of things the abortion may be the best decision for the female and/or couple. The bible may state, " A child is conceived in the womb." Yes this is true, a human does come from their mothers womb, but how long do they have to be in there to technically be a human? If the cells have been developing for 20 days the brain is just beginning to develop, the tissues haven't even formed a heart. Yes getting an abortion kills the potential of life, but that is no different then a female getting her tubes tied, because there is a large amount of lives being thrown away there.
If a woman becomes pregnant she will have a baby no matter what. She can choose how the baby will turn out in a sense, she has three options, miscarriage, abortion, or a healthy birth. She may not be ready to support a baby, and miscarriage will emotionally scar her for life, so maybe abortion would be the correct answer for this certain woman in this case. "In 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court, by a 7-2 decision, ruled that unborn humans were not "legal persons," that they were the property of the owner (the mother) who was given the basic constitutional right to choose to kill her unborn offspring." So if she has the right to decide whether she wants to keep her unborn baby or if she feels that it is best to not go through with it, then why are we still fighting that abortion is so wrong? I do not feel that the government, not knowing the circumstances of the pregnancy, should be able to choose what is right and wrong for all women.
So when people ask would you ever murder a human just tell them that abortion doesn't compare to killing someone. Abortion is removing cells from a woman's body, who should have the choice in what she feels best for herself. Murdering is intentionally killing a person that has been born.

Unfair Rules in the New School
Moving into a new school is an exciting ordeal. Getting the opportunity to be a part of something new that will be a great resource for years to come is thrilling. Getting a new set of rules that no one agrees with and rarely follow is ridiculous. A few of the rules that are questionable, the food and drink, coat, and hallway rules. Being a student that attends Tongue River High School I feel that changing these rules should be taken into consideration. Yes we understand that the teachers would like to preserve this facility and keep it as new as possible for as long as possible, but I feel that we can do that without these rules.
The first rule that the teachers should change would be the food and drink rule. The teachers may believe that the students will make a mess in the school with food and drinks in class but they should change the rule temporarily to see if students are respectable with this privilege. Plus the United States spends money every year to promote the food pyramid and the right amount of servings we need each day to be healthy but how are we supposed to get that at school when we aren't allowed to eat besides lunchtime? Some of us, including teachers, feel dehydrated and need our brain food for the day. Also due to the new school students cannot go to their lockers after they have already entered the commons area. I think that the amount of damage will stay the same if we are able to go to our lockers at lunch time than if we aren't. Last but not least, the rule about not wearing outside coats indoors should be reconsidered. The staff tell us that the building has climate control so there isn't going to be days where the rooms are freezing. There have already been days where wearing a hoodie in the classroom was not enough for some kids. They have rules enforcing us to wear more clothing, but now they are making rules for us to take some off? I don't think wearing coats is hurting anything besides the person who is cold.
Sure the new school is satisfactory, even though a little plain, but some of the rules need to be changed to regain the peace the students and teachers once had in the older school. Students still bring water and food into classrooms, and still wear their coats and it hasn't hurt the school in anyway yet so why not give some of our freedoms back?
Moving into a new school is an exciting ordeal. Getting the opportunity to be a part of something new that will be a great resource for years to come is thrilling. Getting a new set of rules that no one agrees with and rarely follow is ridiculous. A few of the rules that are questionable, the food and drink, coat, and hallway rules. Being a student that attends Tongue River High School I feel that changing these rules should be taken into consideration. Yes we understand that the teachers would like to preserve this facility and keep it as new as possible for as long as possible, but I feel that we can do that without these rules.

California Woman Mistaken for Suspect in Girl's Killing
A woman from Manteca, California has recently been mistaken for another women who was arrested 14 miles away in Tracy, California. These women both are named Melissa Huckaby. The Melissa's are both 28 year-old Sunday school teachers. People thrashing out against her did it so often on her MySpace that she was forced to delete her account.

U.S. Unveils Plan to Tackle Piracy
Hillary Clinton has proposed a four point plan on piracy after the recent attacks in the Gulf of Mexico. A few days ago three pirates were killed in an attempt to recover a captain of a cargo ship. Another U.S. ship, the Liberty Sun, was attacked by armed pirates, but escaped them with slight damage to the vessel.

Fossil Corals Show Catastrophic Sea-Level Rise
Recently corals found in Mexico have proven sea levels serged 121,000 years ago. This 4.6 meter rise in water levels was dated back to an interglacial period, or time between ice ages. This event shows patterns fitting in to how our sea levels are rising as the glaciers are melting. More research would have to be done to see if our plants exsisting now would show rapid growth patters like the fossil coarals did.

Moving into a new school is an exciting ordeal. Getting the opportunity to be apart of something new that will be a great resource for years to come is thrilling. Getting a new set of rules that no one agrees with and rarely follow is ridiculous.

Movie Review 4-09-09
Looking for an exciting movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat through out the whole thing? Well catch the movie Taken while it is still in theaters. This movie has a well organized plot, good acting, and a fantastic setting.
A man named Brain Mills is a retired CIA specialist just trying to regain his long lost relationship with his daughter, Kim. Just after her birthday her and her friend Amanda go on a trip to Europe to follow the band U2. Arriving at the airport they run into seemingly nice person who just wants to share an expensive cab ride. Kim's friend and her both get kidnapped by a gang of Albanians giving them only until they disappear forever. Brian travels to Europe where he puts his CIA skills into action and will stop at nothing to find his daughter. Using old connections and rage he Brian finds the gang but is unlucky in finding his daughter. Finding out that she was sold into a prostitution circuit its only a matter of time before Kim is sold and never seen again.
The acting in this movie was very enjoyable and realistic. Watching the actor portraying Brian Mills face off against the vicious Albanian gang brought you into the movie and it seemed like you were right there in the action. Also having the setting in Paris was enjoyable to watch, it was like a breath of fresh air. The way the movie was filmed also help put you right into the movie and at times that was good but other times it seemed like too much action. There was no break in the action to just be able to think about what was happening, you are always on the edge of your seat and that made it too much to take in at times.
For the most part though the plot, acting, and setting overruled the fact that there was too much action at times, making it a top action movie this year.

Police say that this was not the first time they had been called to the house for domestic violence, in about 2004 the man was arrested beating his sister over money. This time he killed his sisters, age 5 and 17, before the police could save them like his 9-year-old sister. This event happened in Massachusetts.

Ancient Deformed Children Not Always Killed by Parents
To prove against former studies the discovery of a infant skull with deformities suggests that ancient peoples did not always immediately kill their children. This skull was thought to live until around the age of 10 with the craniosynostosis, this is where the skull fuses together too quickly causing the brain not to develop normal. Rejecting the abnormal offspring is not abnormal for most mammals, but in these people they might have kept the deformed children.

Applying for Jobless Benefits? Here Pee in a Cup
Filing for unemployment or food stamps may become harder to do after a state lawmaker in West Virginia introduced a new bill. This bill states that if you are filing for either of these then you may have to take a drug test to see if you system is clean. If you fail this test then they give you 60 days to clear your system and if you fail again you loose the benefits for more than two years. This law is being put into effect because these aids are to help you get back on your feet and get a new job, but how are you supposed to do that if you're doing drugs?

Interview Final
Driving down a lonely unpaved road, by only the dim lights of the car and the full moon, may sound like a normal night but on December 2, 2008 this drive was far from ordinary for three local high school students. Imagine driving home scared for your life, with no one around, and mysterious people wandering the roads, this is what these teenagers went through.
Meagan Moore, her brother Jake Moore, and their friend Sam Farnum were traveling home from a late night Student Council meeting on the dark back roads in between the small towns of Ranchester and Dayton, Wyoming.
Keeping the ride interesting as always Farnum decided to tell a spooky story. Meagan retold the story during the interview saying that Farnum spoke about a cult that lived on the outskirts of Ranchester near the area where they were traveling. This cult lived there in the late 1970’s wearing shapeless clothing and sporting short hair cuts. During the time of the cult two people disappeared on a night of a full moon around the beginning of December. These people were supposedly killed by the cult the night the two victims vanished.
Being told this story Meagan thought that Sam was trying to scare them, not knowing what was to come. Driving home in her stick shift, red, Cabriolet Volts Wagon Meagan decided that it was her turn to do the scaring. With Sam riding shot gun and her brother in the back seat she decided to speed up. Traveling fast on the dark windy road Meagan put her car into the highest gear.
Meagan, being a Ranchester resident, knew the road well. She decided to make it seem like her car was dieing right around the area where the two people were abducted by the cult. In this section of the road there is a steep hill, using the landscape she knew exactly what to do. Keeping her car in a high gear she went up the hill. This made her car go slower and slower the higher and higher she went up the hill. Getting to the top she said to Sam that the car was dieing and she didn’t know what to do. As soon as she said this Sam’s face went white as if he just saw a ghost.
Behind Meagan on the side of the road stood two people dressed in all white standing with their backs to the road. Having passed all the houses and nearest roads Meagan was puzzled why they were out there. The car was now about to die and was chugging along, Meagan couldn't think of what to do so she let out a loud scream. Only being lit up by the moonlight the two white figures were hard to make out.
Then suddenly one of the people slowly turned around and stared at Meagan, Sam, and Jake. He took a couple of steps forward like he was coming after them. Panicking, Meagan slammed the clutch down and shifted into a low gear just before the car died and sped up the hill.
These three were scared and didn’t know what their next move should be. Having been told Sam’s story only minutes before the shadows were spotted they were led to believe that these they were the ghosts of those two people who were supposedly murdered by the cult years earlier.
Meagan, Sam, and Jake are the only known people to have seen these ghosts, but being told this story makes it hard to not believe them that they saw these figures.

Car Raid
Local Principal Feels Above Law
On March 2, 2009 a high school class in Dayton, Wyoming raids a suspicious car and finds unexpected evidence. When approaching the unappealing 1982 Land Cruiser many questions came to mind. Knowing that the car belonged to not only a teacher but the principal of the high school seeing that it was parked in a no parking space sent up a red flag.
Donald White the culprit of the illegal parking job and the bent out of shape car had a lot of explaining to do after the students had time to look through the car to find anything mysterious.
Linking a bag found in the back seat to Mr. White having surgery recently with the condition of the front of the car and the no parking sign made one conclusion possible, that he was a bad driver that didn’t obey laws.
When asking him if he has had recent surgery he stated that he did and that the surgery was to remove cataracts from his eyes. Also we brought up how he had parked in a no parking zone that day. He shared with us that that was the only empty parking space when he pulled into the parking lot and that because he was the principal and the one that enforces the laws he felt that he did not need to follow the no parking sign.
When he answered this question he had a manner about him that made it seem like he felt above the law because he was the enforcer at this school. We got information out of him that he once had stopped at a red light then while the light was still red he just pressed on the gas and ran into a pickup. This ordeal is the reason why the front of the Land Cruiser had large dents in it but most of the damage was done to the other man’s vehicle.
Knowing this information and the fact that he feels as if he can park in a no parking zone because he is the law enforcer at the school makes him look as if he thinks he is above the law. He feels that he should just remove the no parking sign and that if he continues on this path that his crime choices will escalate.
Some question on whether or not the cataracts had anything to do with his driving abilities was brought up but the interviewee never had the opportunity to answer.
Also while investigating the car traces of dog hair was found in the carpet. Mr. White told us that this car was mostly used for his 3 dogs before 2 of them tragically died. These two dogs were healers that were of old age. They died of cancer within the past six months.
Mr. White may think he is above the law but he realizes that his behaviors need to change before worse things happen to him and his beloved Land Cruiser. Hopefully interviewing him helped him realize that he needs to change his driving habits.

Also while investigating the car traces of dog hair was found in the carpet. Mr. White told us that this car was mostly used for his 3 dogs before 2 of them tragically died. These two dogs were healers that were of old age. They died of cancer within the past six months.
Mr. White may think he is above the law but he realizes that his behaviors need to change before worse things happen to him and his beloved Land Cruiser. Hopefully interviewing him helped him realize that he needs to change his driving habits.

Basketball Showdown in the Southeast: Kimberley and Hannah
Top teams that dominate all season get tossed out like a garbage bag, bottom weaker teams get lucky and go to the state tournament, and it’s everyone’s game no matter what its 2A regional basketball time. From the North East conference the four teams that went into the regional competition on the girls side includes Tongue River, Big Horn, Wright, and Sundance, for the boys it was Moorcroft, Tongue River, Wright, and Sundance. The Lusk Tigers hosted this year’s East Regional Tournament in Torrington, Wyoming.
The Tongue River boy’s report on how they played this weekend is not as pleasing as how the Tongue River girl’s. The boy’s first game to be played was late Thursday the 26th, 2009 while the girls played early that morning. The boy’s had a tough game loosing by 2 while the girls won in a blow out game. The eagles played Pine Bluff while the girls played the fourth ranked team from the south Lusk. Winning by this much advanced the lady eagles into the semi final game against Wright lady panthers. Unfortunately for the boys this devastating loss sent the boys into the loser’s bracket, and the next day they had a tough game to play against the number one seed from the south the Lusk Tigers.
Friday’s competition for the Tongue River boy’s players was a gut wrenching game that ended up being their last. The eagles were defeated by the well-coached team of Lusk putting them in the third and fourth place game, while Tongue River boys were knocked out of the competitions keeping them from competing in the State. On the other hand the Lady Eagles went on to defeat the Wright lady panthers by 20 points or more sending them into the championship game. That same day Tongue River’s rivals Big Horn defeated Burns to make it into the championship with them for the third year in a row. This time these two teams met the lady rams defeated the lady eagles by 22 points.
When talking to one of the Tongue River lady eagles players she told us about the part of the weekend that other teams did not know about. Torrington, Wyoming is near the eastern border of Nebraska so to kill some down time they traveled to the nearby town of Scott’s Bluff, Nebraska. There they ate at an Applebee’s and ventured in the mall that’s located in this town. Even though the Tongue River boy’s did not make it to state they enjoyed all the fun that the girls had in this town as well.
The lady eagles compete in the State Tournament in Casper, Wyoming the weekend of March 5-7. Their first game is against Wyoming Indian.

Book Review 3-05-09
Being an investigator in a serial murder case is stressful, but even harder when dealing with a life threatening disease. Lindsay Boxer befalls as the main investigator on a sequential murder case of newly wed couples on the night of their wedding. Working against time to find the killer before he or she finds their new victim and balancing out her love life with her partner on the case and her killer, Negli’s Disease, the story of Lindsay Boxer in the book 1st TO DIE by James Patterson is a thrilling but bone chilling to read.
In the books included in the series the “Women’s Murder Club” James Patterson writes about four women banning together to solve alarming crimes. The book 1st TO DIE is the starting book of the spine-tingling story. James Patterson was inspiring to be a professional basketball player when he read The Day of the Jackal and The Exorcist inspired him to be a writer. Some of James Patterson’s earlier work was being a slogan composer. The works of James Patterson strip down the scene to little details that make the book hard to put down. Short chapters make reading easier, while opening a door for the reader’s mind to place them inside the book. The “Women’s Murder Club” series are all thrilling murder mysteries that can’t be disregarded.
This novel describes the out of the ordinary life of the only detective in San Francisco, working in company with close friends to solve the most talked about murders. When Lindsay Boxer is called to a local murder, feeling uneasy but expecting it to be a regular crime scene, she makes her way to the Mandarin Suite of the Grand Hyatt hotel. When approaching the hotel nothing has prepared her for what she saw. Lying inside the door were the first victims of the cold-blooded killer, slaughtered. These heart-wrenching crimes occur all the way through the book, and detective Boxer is always one step behind the killer. While traveling across the country to another crime that is linked to her cases, her job is put in second to her love affair, Chris Raleigh. When one of the ladies of “The Women’s Murder Club” discovers facial hair at a crime scene and gets the DNA, the crime has come from an open case, to knowing the killers name. Lindsay Boxer though has a gut feeling that something isn’t right, and the story takes for the worst.
1st TO DIE is a roller coaster ride that the reader will never forget. James Patterson uses a popular writing device, telling the story from the main character’s point-of-view, helping the reader to be entranced in the book, while also having a picture being drawn in their minds. Effectively telling the story through the main character James Patterson puts a picture in the reader’s mind of the horrific crime scenes. “I’d been to a hundred homicides and could radar in on the body as quick as anyone, but this I wasn’t prepared for. It sent a wave of compassion racing down my spine,” (pg. 27) this quote from Lindsay proficiently suggests how badly these crime scenes are, and how sick the killer is.
Critiquing this book is very simple because this book is one that once you start reading you will never want to put it down. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a great mystery murder, which is mature enough to deal with descriptive pictures of gory scenes. Overall I enjoyed reading this book all the way up until the end and feel that most readers would feel the same.

A Brazilian girl was taken to a nearby hospital for stomach pains but was found to be four months pregnant. The girl was reported to be sexually abused by her stepfather. Abortion is illegal in Brazil unless the woman has been raped or the pregnancy will effect the woman's health. The doctors feel that the girl would not make it all the way through the pregnancy due to the fact her body isn't ready to support twins.

Review 1-29-09
Out of all the stores that I shop at Hollister Co. is the store I visit most. Their clothes are original and comfortable. They have a variety of selections that you can pick from. This store is my top pick.
This is a clothing store for preteens, teenagers, and early twenties. They have a variety of shirts, jeans, skirts, shorts, swimwear, shoes, and perfumes and colognes. Their clothes are comparable to Abercrombie and American Eagle Outfitters. They have very colorful clothing choices to pick from and styles. The store employees are very helpful when help is needed for finding the clothes and sizes best for you.
The atmosphere of the store is like you’re on a beach. The theme of the store and brand is surfers, so there are palm trees, surfboards, and pictures of oceans and beaches around every corner turned in the store. The aroma of the store is very sweat and recognizable. The front of the store has been built to look like a hut on a beach. It has a deck on the front with two entrances one for “Bettys” and one for “Dudes”. The lighting makes the mood of the store calm, because the lighting is dim. With a blend of calming and upbeat music the mood is always happy and calm.
When entering the store you feel overwhelmed at first because there are clothes everywhere. The shelves are stacked they have tables full and racks and racks of hanging clothes. Not to worry though because they have all sizes in store so when you find something you like you can have it in the right size and not have to squeeze into it or be swimming in it. Sometimes I feel like it might take a long time to find what I am looking for but the store employees are very helpful.
The prices of this store are sometimes comparable to other stores like this. Abercrombie and American Eagle are related brands. Abercrombie is the most expensive while Hollister and American Eagle’s prices are very closely ranged. The pants there range anywhere from 20 dollars on clearance to 70 dollars when they first come out. This price may be somewhat expensive but compared to other brands like this that is very inexpensive or similar.
Low prices, good employees, beachy feel what’s not to love about shopping at Hollister? All of the well priced clothing is there for the buying.

iPod Review
New colors, new layout, new shake feature. Apple is the future of MP3 players with all of the technology it has out there. The new iPod Nano-Chromatic by Apple is a colorful burst to the future, but may have some wrinkles in how it works.
Like all the other Apple products this iPod is useful in listening to music and watching videos. It comes equip with playlists and all the other features, but Apple has add a new variety of colors to the mix. Now instead of a few different colors there is a wide variety of bright and vibrant colors to fit your personality. Also similar to the iPod touch this has the cover flow option, this is where you can tilt the iPod the other way and the screen will automatically know to go to this. The style of the outside is similar to other Nano styles but it is modified a little, having a bigger viewing screen and smoother edges.
Even though Apple worked to get their MP3 products the ones of the future they may have went wrong in some places. One not to useful technology that they included in this was the shake feature. This is where you can shake your iPod to shuffle the song. The shake sensors are not sensitive enough so you spend more time trying to change the song by shaking it than it would take to click the next button on the shuffle songs mode. Also this can be annoying when you are trying to listen to a song all the way through and the iPod gets accidentally dropped or bumped and it changes to the next song. The new genius mode may come in handy to people with a large amount of songs, like more than 1,000. This is where it will take the song your listening to and make a new playlist of songs that are comparable to the song. Most music listeners know their music so why would they need the computer to group them together; wouldn’t they know where they would like their music to be?
The Apple iPod Nano-Chromatic has vibrant colors to choose from, and easy to read and maneuver around, but some new settings, trying to become more advanced into the future of technology, makes using this iPod a hassle at times.

Pineapple Express Review
This movie has as much drugs, violence, and hilarious catch phrases that you can get from the stars of the movie Danny McBride, Seth Rogen, and James Franco. These three join together in a comedic performance worth never forgetting.
Dale Denton’s regular day working as a process server ends up to be one of the worst days of his life when smoking a joint he witnesses a murder. Panicking he disposes of the joint that contains some of the most rare weed on earth, pineapple express. Running away from the situation he joins up with his drug dealer Saul and the middleman Red. Having bad luck Red is looking to protect himself from being killed so he gives up Saul and Dale to the drug lord that is hunting them down. Running away into dead ends throughout the whole movie Dale and Saul get into an argument where they split and the drug lord captures Saul. When Dale finds out that they have captured Saul, being the good friend that he is, he teams up with Red and looks to get Saul out of trouble. Going into a fierce battle with the drug lords the three friends take them on in a battle. When an explosion goes off the three retrieve their friendships and end the movie going to a diner.
McBride, Rogen, and Franco all are a smash hit when they come together and join their humor making the movie a hit. Using catchy lines to draw the watchers in for a enjoyable two-hour ride. The actors and writers have also worked on other movies such as Knocked Up, 40-Year-Old Virgin, and Superbad. Being in so many comedies gives the actors and co-scripter Evan Goldberg experience that provides the actors of Pineapple Express with enough laughter for a couple of films.
Combining the acting talents of Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, and James Franco was a smart choice for an enjoyable stoner movie of the year, Pineapple Express.

“Alien” Atmosphere Helped Unfreeze Earth Early
Recently discovered in the Arctic a 635-million-year-old rock was discovered suggesting that earth once had an odd atmosphere. This showed that the Earth had several times more CO2 than it does today. "Increasingly, lines of fossil evidence suggest that after this global glaciation event, animals started to appear in the geological record," Huiming Bao said. "Most believe this is not just a coincidence." Scientists feel that this leads to rapid melting of the ice caps and predict that this is what will happen in the future.
Growing Taste for Reef Fish Sends Their Numbers Sinking
High demand for reef fish is making the thriving populations decrease rapidly. Some of the fish populations that are taking the biggest hit include steaming spring prawns, spotted lobster, coral trout and especially giant grouper. Many of these species are taking large population hits during seasonal breeding periods or aggregations. Dr. Sadovy suggested that spawning aggregations be considered protected events rather than simply times when fish are easy to catch, as has been done with salmon in Bristol Bay, Alaska.
Obama May Use Executive Order Reverse Abortion Policy
Making American history by even being the president, Barack Obama is now looking forward to change a preexisting abortion policy. In the article from CNN Politics.com it shares that within the first week of being president Obama is looking to reverse an abortion policy. Obama is mainly out to overturn the “Mexico City Policy”. Bush defended his actions towards reinstating the policy by saying, “It is my conviction that taxpayer funds should not be used to pay for abortion or actively promote abortion.” Now Obama’s first action as our first black president is to get rid of these abortion laws put back into force by George W. Bush.
Search Continues in Hudson for Plane Engine
New York Police Department workers have been diving into the chilling waters of the Hudson River looking for the recently crashed plane. The plane lost power after its engines got taken out by a flock of birds and the pilot had to make a decision, which saved all 155 passengers on the plane. Divers detected a large object about 60 feet under but due to bad lighting they had to come up and are returning tomorrow to look for the plane. Also due to strong currents the department cannot use an underwater robotic device that has a video camera on it to view the object.
