 * // Many people know about President John f. Kennedy’s assasination. Many people believe that Lee Harvey Oswald killed J.F.K. But was he part of a conspiracy or a lone gun man? Was there someone else with him that was never brought to justice? What vital detail was over looked? One lady may have our answers. Reviewing photos and tapes a lady with a camera angled at the limo, but, may have been rightly positioned to see the assign, was viewed. This lady was wearing a babushka. She was very calm all through the shootings. While other couples dove to the ground she remained calmly, standing. She followed the crowds for a while no longer filming and then disappeared into obscurity. After viewing these tapes the babushka lady was called to turn in her tapes and be questioned for any information she might know. But she never came. No one knows where babushka lady is or why she never came but all we know is she might hold very valuable information in J.F.K‘s murder.

stephanie81-What's a babushka? You should include what it is in your article. Otherwise, it's really good. Arpegher: Steph, a babushka is a scarf the women in Europe and Asia wear. And a picture and the definition of babushka and it will be awesome!

- isnt a babushka russian for like grandma or something? Arpegher: Just for the record, in Hungarian grandma is nugge mama. Breek: i love the article. the picture of the cat is reallyy cute. and babushka is a funny word Are earthquakes damaging? Earthquakes are a major part of our devastating weather, even if we don’t truly realize it. For example: in 2004 the world suffered from a tsunami, over 225,000 people in 11 countries died. This natural disaster was caused by an earthquake, the 2nd worst in the world. It was a 9.3 on the seismograph*. Other disasters caused by earthquakes are: volcanic eruptions- triggers or opens the flow of lave / magma, landslides- upsets the balance of earth causing it too come tumbling down, flooding- breaks dams, tsunamis-causes unusually large waves, and Of Corse the actual damage caused just by the earthquake. How is an earthquake caused? An earthquake is when a fault* slides or moves. It is also caused when two tectonic plates* shift against each other. However an earthquake does not often open up the ground as many people think. It is often just the shaking of land, it may not sound that damaging but it is. Will an earthquake destroy my town? Often earthquakes are not that damaging in fact in some areas that are prone to earthquakes they are not even noticeable. Many modern buildings are built to withstand earthquakes. tsunami
 * __Fault__ – a crack in the earth dividing rock
 * __Tectonic Plates__ – a large section of the earth
 * __Siesmograph__ -- a machine that measures the tremors in the earth



Twilight //**

There were about three things I was absolutely sure of, First, that Edward was a vampire, Second, that some part of him, and I didn’t know how dormant that part might

be, that thirsted for my blood, Lastly, I was unconditionally, and irreversibly, in love with him =// WARNING //= =// DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ TWILIGHT YET MAJOR SPOILER //= =// New Moon //= = = = = = = = = = = = = = "Shoot," I muttered when the paper sliced my finger; I pulled it out to examine the damage. A single drop of blood oozed from the tiny cut. = ** It all happened very quickly then. **  ** Edward threw himself at me, flinging me back across the table... **  ** I tumbled down to the floor by the piano, with my arms thrown out instinctively to catch my fall, into the jagged shards of glass. I felt the searing, stinging pain that ran from my wrist to the crease inside my elbow. **  ** Dazed and disoriented, I looked up from the bright red blood pulsing out of my arm—into the fevered eyes of the six suddenly ravenous vampires. **

 * // Summary //**
 * //  Typical boy meets girl – girl meets boy the fall in love, but have you ever heard of a quiet timid girl falling in love with a vampire? Or a vampire falling in love with a girl? Well that’s what happens on this whirlwind adventure, can these two lovers ever be together? Or will the fact that Bella’s blood is soo tempting for Edward, and that it seems like every force in the universe is out to keep them apart be too much? //**

After Bella’s disastrous birthday party Edward decides he no longer wants to hang around her, and he and his family leave. After many moths in a zombie like state Bella finally, in a desperate attempt to break promises, snaps out of it and starts hanging out with old family friend Jacob Black. She, with the help of Jacob, starts working down a list of dangerous things to do, until Jacob starts hanging out with the La Push gang even though a couple days ago he was terrified of them. Then Victoria returns leaving Bella in a state of total fear, but when Edward decides to go to the Voultri its up to Bella to save him. In mad rush to save him before its too late, Bella realizes that she may not make it out alive, or worse with Edward. =// WARNING //= =// DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ TWILIGHT OR NEW MOON YET MAJOR SPOILER //= Eclipse //**

With a burst of intuition it all fell into place. somthing Edward didn't want me to know. somthing Jacob wouldn't have kept from me. Somthing that had the Cullens and wolves operationg in such close proximity of each other. It was never going to end, was it?

After rescuing Edward from the Voultri, and learning the truth about why Edward left, Bella is getting her, happily ever after, fairy tale after all. But she has no idea what to do with the left over character/ Jacob. Is there REALLY a happily ever after if her best friend counts her as an enemy? And when Victoria comes back, some one is creating a vampire army, and the Voultri are going to be coming in for a visit ( to see if Bella is a vampire yet) any time, Bella doesn’t know if she, Alice, Charlie, Esme, Carlslie, Emmet Rosalie, Jacob or his pack, and even worse, Edward, will even make it to graduation! stephanie81-I like your page and buy the way thanks for listening to my previous comment. The book review is a little long. You should try shortening it a little. I also like the earthquake article it's really good. Breek: Great reviews but they're a little long

Riddle Answers   media type="custom" key="865273"media type="custom" key="865285" Many of you know that the presidential election is coming up this November. It is pretty much certain the McCain is on the ballot for the Republican Party. But who is the candidate for the Democratic Party? Barak Obama or Hillary Clinton? That choice is up to us, WE THE PEOPLE (for some of us it’s up to our parents). Some people think that Clinton is more experienced. True she was in office but some people blame the Clintons for 9/11. She also is very naive and lies. She said that when she and her daughter were abroad; as they landed they were under open fire and had to run for their lives. It was the opposite. School girls read poems and people were holding flowers, not a single bullet to be seen or heard (a tape of the landing was shown proving he statement false) Not exactly a small misremembered detail. She also said that she did not support the forming of NAICS while she was first lady, the truth, she did support it greatly and held many campaigns for it, or she did not support it and held many campaigns for it anyway. Clinton has also been trashing Obama constantly. Yes, Obama did fight back, a bit, after many months of enduring her “throwing of the kitchen sink” but has not gotten caught up in it and forgotten the meaning of this campaign ( to pick the best possible person to lead our country) as it appears Clinton has. For example, while Clinton was pointing out every small fault, true or not, about Obama, during a press conference, Obama did not criticize her once, until the every end when he was asked his opinion on Clinton’s behavior. He calmly, coolly, replied, Senator Clinton deserves a right to make some errors once in a while, what’s important is to make sure we don’t become so obsessed with gaffes that we lose sight of the fact that this is a defining moment in our history.” A very subtle insult, he did nothing wrong so technically, Clinton can not be insulted, all he did was make a statement, he did not even say that Clinton was becoming obsessed(or already was). He merely implied it. In a very similar to side stepping a minefield. Some women may vote for Clinton on the sole fact that she is a girl. I am a girl yet I do not think Clinton would be a very good president. Would it be nice to have a female for president? Yes it would but the most important thing is to have a leader who is good and true. A leader who will be kind and just, who will lead our country to a time in history of peace. We may not reach this era with one good president, but in this authors opinion Obama will make a head way in to that golden age.
