As you know, the elections are coming up and the big fuss right now is on the political “issues” and decisions. People all over are hyped up about who they think should win the election. Some people are even making it a bigger deal than it should be by causing violence. Even the kids in school get in fights over this topic. The young people think they know what they’re talking about, when most don’t. I will say some people do know what they’re saying. Most of the kids are just going by what they’re parents say, not there own opinion. And even sometimes they get there information mixed up. Kids are coming on the buses starting arguments and fights over who they think should win. I defiantly do not think this is necessary. Yes, I think everyone should have a right to pick who they like, but that doesn’t mean they should “beat up” someone who doesn’t agree with them. It just causes more problems then we need. You need to be mature enough to understand that not everyone is going to agree on what you say. After all, we are trying to focus on who we think is right. This is a big decision. You need to know what the candidate is planning to do to our country for the next four years. So, by causing violence and more problems it’s not letting people think what they want. People! Violence is never the answer, especially for election opinions!

The peace sign is a great symbol. It’s being used a lot now. Clothes, bags, shoes, jewelry, and all types of accessories are decorated with this sign. On people’s websites and profiles it’s all around. I really appreciate the fact people want a better environment to live in, but it really bothers me when they’re obsessed with the symbol and do not do anything to help out with the situation. Helping out in even small ways will help in big ways in the future, but some people do nothing. They’re like “posers”. I think you should stand up for what you believe in and by wearing peace signs and just sitting there and doing nothing at all for our world doesn’t make sense. Maybe people just like the idea or the design of the symbol, but everything you own doesn’t have to be covered with it if you’re not going to help the cause.
So you should stand up for peace because it’s your future. If you don’t want to, that’s also fine. Just don’t pose.

On Monday, November 24th, there was a poetry assembly. A woman named Gayle Danley came to Cab to share some of her poetry with us. She is quite a talented woman. Gayle connects with people, her poems are very deep. They are graphic, not in the bloody gore type but just that she gets your mind and your imagination racing. It’s like her soul is reaching into yours. Gayle won the 1994 National Individual Slam Poet in Ashville, NC. This was only a few months after learning about Slam Poetry. In Germany, she became the 1996 International Slam Poet Champion.
At Cab, Gayle started off with a funny poem. Most people laughed and thought it was pretty funny. The more the “show” went on her poems got sad. They were about what she went through in her lifetime. The fact that she shared some of her roughest times with us is really impressive. I know sometimes it’s rather hard to share some things. Gayle cried during some points and a lot of people did, including me. Other people really got under my skin. They were laughing at the sad parts. That really made me mad. She was pouring her heart out to us, and people had the nerve to laugh. I know that if you were telling a crowd of middle school students something that touches your heart, you wouldn’t want anyone to laugh. Your feelings would most likely be hurt. So, to pull this all together, I think people should mature and learn what art really is because you’re in an art school. What Gayle preached to us was defiantly art. Appreciate that.

When you think of divorce, do you think it’s good or bad? I thought for a long time, that it could be good for some circumstances. If you had an abusive parent or something along those lines, you’d think it would be good if they got divorced. But, then think of that child who doesn’t have a father or mother together anymore. Even if one of them got re-married, it wouldn’t be the same as your biological parent. You and your parent or parents may not get along, and if they got divorced you would think you’d be happy. But, again that child will know his or her parents didn’t get along or love each other enough to stay together; you know something went wrong. It’s even worse when you love you parents so much and they don’t get along and divorce. It is a horrible thing, and sadly, it happens all the time. And sometimes it’s no ones fault, it just didn’t work out the way people wanted it to.

Ashley Tisdale, 23, known for The Suit Life Zack and Cody and High School Musical 1, 2, and 3 was seen strolling around in Hollywood. When photographers and paparazzi got a little closer, they saw something shocking. The Disney Channel star was seen with a baby bump. So many people were shocked at the idea. Usually, people portray Disney stars as innocent. When reporters heard, they had to find the truth.
The world famous interviewing agency met Ashley at a local coffee shop. They also noticed the difference in her appearance. Ashley quoted, “I was in love and wanted to start a family.” She is 23 and mature. Ashley is expecting in about 4 to 5 months. She hopes it’s a little boy. Tisdale is not anywhere near embarrassed or upset for people to know. She will be holding off on shows/movies for at least a year. Ashley says she will defiantly be back in business. Everyone’s wishing her luck!

On Monday February 2nd, 2009 Eeyore, a favorite character on "Winnie the Pooh," was arrested for armed robbery. The robbery occurred at noon the day before he got arrested at the Bank of America in Dover, DE. The suspect supposedly carried a 44 caliber gun. Four security cameras and twelve witnesses witnessed the crime. One of which was a clerk who worked at the Bank of America. "He was calm at first, and then he starts freaking out and pulls out a gun!" says the clerk, who asks to remain nameless. Eeyore has no known motive but network executives say that they told him they were replacing him just hours before the robbery. Eeyore was heartbroken, and stormed out of the studio. Police aren't sure, but they think this is the cause for his outbreak. If he is convicted, he faces at least 15 years in jail, ten for the robbery and five for illegal weapon possession. There is no word yet on if the show will stay on the air. (And by the way... APRIL FOOL'S!!!!)

Pal Dances are the Shiz.
By: Kayla Irby and Maddy Hill
6th-8th graders, do you know what a P.A.L. dance is? Well, it’s a dance hosted by the Police Athletic League, and is one of the best dances in the local area. It costs ten dollars to get in, and if you are a member, you’ve just lucked out, you get in for free! They are so much fun (worth the ten bucks) and you meet a lot of cool new people from schools in the tri-state area.
Don’t worry parents; the cops are there to watch out for your children. These dances are hosted from 7-10 p.m., most of the time on Fridays and sometimes on Saturdays. They play all of your favorite hit tunes, and there is a snack bar so bring money. If you want to bring a bag or a coat, they have a room where you can put them there and they have people watching your stuff. Make sure you dress accordingly because it gets pretty hot in there. It’s in Hockessin Delaware and to get ask any questions about the dances or the P.A.L. go to palde.org. So if I were you, I would consider going to the next upcoming pal dance, I promise, you wont regret it ;]

During the summer, a couple of kids started trouble in the mall. This made the owners of Christiana Mall very angry, which made them make up a rule. No child under 18 is aloud in the mall after 5:00pm without a parent or guardian. This made lots of teens mad and frustrated. I personally think this is an unessacary rule. Just because other kids made a bad choice by acting bad in the mall, doesn’t mean everyone else has to suffer. They could have just punished or banned those people who were wild in the mall. Now if your 17, I don’t think you want to be walking with your mom or dad in the mall. I know I wouldn’t. They're also really strict about this. For example, my friends were walking in the mall, and it was about 5:02pm. Two minutes after the set time. The guard called them over and told them since their parents weren’t there, they had to walk around the mall with them until they're parents came. Another example was my best friend was with her mom at the mall. They were in the food court, and my friend left her table to go get a napkin. The guard grabbed her by her hand and then asked her where her parent was. She told him where she was at and he didn’t believe her. That goes to show you these guards don’t play around. But anyway I really think it’s unfair to let all these other teenagers suffer, when they only needed to punish the trouble makers.

Last seen on March 21st, 2009 known rapper Biggie Smalls was seen walking around The Wachovia center. Many say they saw him at various concerts. Surprisingly, this doesn’t seem like a big deal to many fellow folks on the street. The bad thing about this is that, some sources say they have seen him set arsenics near abandoned towns. People believe that’s why there have been a lot of mysterious fires. But that’s not a proven story. No one really knows why Biggie Smalls is all of sudden back on this earth. This is a mysterious case. I interviewed Laniya Thompson and she said the following "I was in Wachovia taking out lunch money from my Cab Calloway School of the arts account when there was all of sudden this blackness all over the place and as I looked around, I saw Bigge Smalls walking towards the back exit. It seemed like an eclipse.” I asked how you reacted to seeing the mysterious figure of Biggie Smalls. She replied saying "Like any other normal person, I reacted very much in shock. Also I screamed and called 911. But there was no answer. People these days!" I tried catching Laniya but she ran away from me crying. Weird. If you have any information what so ever, contact this number. 111-222-3333

60-year old woman gives birth to twins.
By: Kayla Irby
Frieda Birnbaum delivered twin boys and has become the eldest woman in the United States of America to give birth to twins. The twins were delivered in Hackensack New Jersey. One baby weighed 4 pounds and 11.4 ounces while the other baby weighed 4 pounds and 11 ounces. Frieda says having these twins were a great experience. Frieda also has 3 other children, including a 33-year old son, a 29-year old year daughter and a 6-year old son. Doctors say this was a very high risk for the babies. No one has had this experience before at her age. Frieda decided that she wanted to have twins by reading a magazine article about kids, on a cruise ship. Frieda looks forward to dressing them in matching outfits. Before, Frieda has had some of her eggs frozen. For the sake of Frieda’s babies she “plans” on staying around for a long time. “My mother lived until 89 and my father lived until 92.” Said Frieda. Even though Frieda is the oldest woman to ever give birth to twins in America. There is another lady that’s Spanish had twins seven days before she turned 67. Frieda is doing well with the twins and is happy with this miracle.

Yes, it’s true the mega hot vampires and semi hot….. Well non vampires, are calling a quits! Rumor has it that they all have there personal reasons for leaving the movie, when they were just about to start filming the sequel to Twilight, NEW MOON!!!!!!!! Some say that Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen) said “why come back to film 4 scenes then leave for a year or so, to come back and film eclipse, no they can find there self’s a new Edward Cullen”! Now I love Rob but that’s being a little selfish don’t you think?? Then others say Kirsten Stewart (Bella swan) is sick of all the pictures and interviews and rather make little movies then have to go through this kind of torture!! Its sad Kirsten I think after making all those little movies that when you caught a break you would keep it going for as long as possible. Well anyway, I can’t forget those little actors. OPPS!!!!!!!

Deep in the Zambezi valley, in the continent of Africa, Zimbabwe, and the Vadoma tribe lives excluded from the world, all alone from civilization. This tribe is not like any other. They have an extremely rare deformity in there feet that gives them only two, enormous toes. Discovered by Charles Sutton in the 1950’s, this tribe tribe’s chromosomes are mutated, causing such a rare condition. As a matter of fact, they have easily adapted their feet. They can climb trees with ease, and now have special shoes that they make themselves. These people don’t mind there condition. In their minds, they’re completely normal.

What is one of the main killers of every one in the world? AIDS of course. Finally! At last we have the cure for AIDS! While an American victim of AIDS was getting a bone marrow transplant, for leukemia, the researchers discovered that 20 months later, his condition was gone! This was basically found by accident! They tried it on another patient and once again, 20 months later, the patient was relieved of all the symptoms of the virus. Some people are immune to the HIV virus. Amazingly, a genetic mutation of both parents’ chromosomes creates this surprising immunity. Doctors are now trying this new method of treatment on their patients to see how the results turn out.

In modern day, some technologies are getting very advanced. Some are so advanced that they are able to create vaccines and other helpful inventions. Now, in this day we have a better, more efficient way of detecting people suspected of the consuming of drugs. All that is required is your fingerprint. Ordinarily, accused people of using drugs had their urine tested. However, now the scientists can simply find out by attaches the iron oxide particles to antibodies and suspends them both in a liquid solution, which is then drizzled over a fingerprint. Only if the chemical that the antibodies find is there they will eventually latch on to it, and glow. But that’s not all this new invention can do. It can also detect if the fingerprint was touching a weapon, explosive, or even its medical conditions.

Nelson Hernandez, a brave, strong and manly graffiti artist, recently took a visit to his condo on the moon with his labra-doodle Banana. While he was there, he thought of a brilliant idea. To tag the moon! It took him almost five minutes, and was later of to relax in his fifty-thousand square inch pool. On his epic return journey, he rode threw several asteroid belts, risking life and death to get home. This amazing, unique person finally returns after slaying a giant block of cheese, named Cheese. He is awarded by President Obama the Key to The World, and is a big hero to this day. You can even see his legacy from earth every day in the night sky, and it says, NH WUZ HERE.

A group of scientists were listening to the radio while making grilled cheese sandwiches. Nothing out of the usual. But then their radioactive detecting sunglasses were going crazy. They looked for the source of the radio activeness for hours. Until, they found it. They got hungry, so they decided to eat their grilled cheese. But when the grilled cheese got close to them their radioactive detecting sunglasses AND shoelaces were going crazy. The discovery was made.
“It turns out,” scientist Joe Josephs says, “that all types of cheeses have been watching us in different ways.” Cheddar was watching us through their invisible eyes. Parmesan used thermo graphic senses to watch us. All types of cheeses are watching us in their different, evil cheesy ways.
“Where do they come from? Was the first thing I thought when we made this discovery.” Scientist Steve Stevens says. After more hours of working diligently to find out where they came from, it happened. “It was so obvious when we found it.” scientist Mike Michaels says. “They came from cows!”
So now we know the cheese mystery. The cheese came from cows. But the mixture of the cow milk and the cheese ingredients gave them vision. So remember, be careful where you put your cheese because; it’s watching you.

You know the upstairs’ girls bathroom? It has been having renovations performed on it for a long time you know (along with the rest of the school)? Well, those renovations won’t be done for a while. An undercover expedition caught several of the construction workers off duty. Where did they go you ask? It may sound a little strange but, they went to the bathroom, in a girls stall! A recent discovery has been made, stall number three is actually a toilet portal to Las Vegas (how they all fit, I have no idea)! During renovations, a pipe above the third stall, broke spilling out some sort toxic waste (It’s honestly that not hard to believe) causing the toilet to become a magic portal……TO LAS VEGAS!
The investigation took us deeper and deeper into the mystery of the never ending renovations. When we finally compiled enough evidence, we were able to get a warrant. We questioned several of the construction workers. Most of them claimed that they had no idea about the portal. The principal gave us information on all of the construction workers currently on duty. Upon further investigation, we discovered that some of the construction workers weren’t on the list at all, meaning that the school did not employ them. As it seems, someone leaked the information about the ‘portal-potty’ causing others to pose as workers to get free trips.
The frauds are being weeded out, and soon the construction will continue on as planned. The school is deciding whether or not to destroy the toilet, so until a decision is made, the bathroom will be closed.

Have you ever considered an alternative calendar, one where instead of having summer, we have four breaks, each averaging 2 or more weeks? Often enough, people have told me, “Get rid of summer!? Why on earth would you want to do that?” To be completely honest, I think an alternative calendar would be a better idea. The idea is to get a higher student out put. It’s made so you do better in school (and we get better vacation time too!)
With an alternative calendar, you wouldn’t have the problem of forgetting things over the summer; people forget most of the things they learned in the previous year. Kids go back to school and can spend a month trying to re-learn what they forgot. With a two or more week break, kids will forget less. Reports from the California State Department of Education show that standardized test scores increased an average increase of 13.3% in reading scores after year round schooling. Some schools have already switched.
With a summer break kids from Delaware, can only do summer activities unless they travel to a place Siberia. With an alternative calendar, we can take a skiing trip on the winter break, or go to the beach on the summer break. It would allow more flexibility. Most of the time families can’t go on a trip because they don’t want their kids to miss any school. With an alternative calendar, you could take a trip in any season you want!
This alterative calendar won’t change the number of days of school either. You will still have 180 days of school. You will also still have all of the half days and days off. This new calendar is a much better plan. Kids will do better in school and breaks will be more enjoyable. So come on, let’s alternate to recreate!

Barney Involved in Million Dollar Scandal
by Mewspaper
Everyone’s favorite purple dinosaur is no longer lovable. Just ask his adoring followers.
“I know Barney’s schedule by heart!” exclaimed one clearly over-caffeinated stalker/fan. “He seems to be spending a lot of time at the bank...”
Investigators went straight to the bank. (The name of this bank cannot be disclosed and is strictly confidential.) The bank tellers gave us a great deal with 5% interest, but our highly trained investigators cut straight to the chase. The tellers described a “big purple dinosaur” that had come frequently in the past few days to withdraw money. Barney’s account had been receiving multiple payments. All together, he received a total of about $1,000,000.
“All the payments were from the same store: Rich People & Company,” the tellers explained. “It just so happens that their headquarters is right on this street.”
The investigating team went straight to the HQ. Once there, we were offered another amazing deal: Buy two for the price of three! Instead of shopping around, we asked to speak to the CEO of Rich People & Company. The CEO (who was wearing a very snazzy suit) gave us even more valuable information.
“Yeah, it’s strange. We’ve been losing a lot of our profit. You should talk to our replacement treasurer, Mr. BJ. Our old treasurer hasn’t been seen in quite a while now... What kind of a person takes a three month vacation to Cuba!? ”
After extensive questioning, our investigators uncovered a very malicious and not very intelligent plot. First, Barney had the treasurer kidnapped. Then, the dinosaur had his friend “BJ” pose as a replacement treasurer. Instead of properly managing the money, BJ had most of it sent to Barney’s account. It turns out that Barney was going to use the money to fund his own store: Barney’s and Noble. We arrested the dinosaur and his accomplice. The old treasurer was found eventually, but he was partly insane by then.
Barney is also charged with the “biting” of innocent children. Surveillance cameras have shown Barney taking daily trips to the blood bank. Scientists claim that he is a vampire. The dinosaur denies this and explains that his “fangs” are just very sharp canine teeth. Our investigators wanted more evidence, so we turned to the children from the Barney & Friends Show.
“Barney bit me on the neck,” said one child. “Now I have fangs!” He proceeded to show the investigators two puncture marks. Then, he showed us his teeth. Two were distinctly sharper than the rest. Our investigators made sure to stay FAR away from that kid.
Another child gave us a picture that she had taken. “I took this picture right after Barney bit Frank. My mommy says that I’ll be a famous photographer when I grow up. I like taking pictures of magic toilet portals!” Later research led us to the conclusion that Barney is a vampire. Much to the dismay of Twilight fans, Barney is indeed related to Edward Cullen. (Second cousin twice removed… or something likes that.)
Looks like fans will only see reruns from now on. And we thought Barney was a nice dino!

Here I am again, with another video game review! This time, it’s a game I could rant about for hours- Prince of Persia. Yes, as in the Prince of Persia newly released for the PS3. The characters are new(ish) and the environment is refreshing. The clear, crisp graphics are exceptional. From where I’m coming from, the game appears to be between a painting and a video game. Also, the very few characters are awesome and vibrant.
Yes, the Prince is finally not as cliché as before- Sort of. Now, it’s completely intentional. My personal favorite quote al la Prince is, “Why couldn’t you choose a religion where, oh, I don’t know, the enemies are… slightly angry sheep?” It’s gotta be a classic. Wise-crackers, come flock to me! Err, I mean this game. The rest of the cast is made up of Elika, a rebel princess who has magic powers and travels with the Prince on an adventure to save the world. The rest of the characters are: The Grieving King (Elika’s Father- he brings upon the apocalypse), and… drum roll… generic grunts and annoying bosses that you have to beat five times to beat! Yes, each of the four bosses has five full battles… or is that six?

You have all seen those small, cute little praying mantises in your backyard, right? Yeah. Well, the new Manti composer, Clawgang Mantisart, has released his new piece, Symphonic Mantisi Clawine. This piece of music shocked the world. Mantisart says, ‘Iz a worka ofva completevly vwonderful mantis glory vwith antennae standing ona enda.’ His orchestra of 250, 000 manti weolonists, viani, and klitists have worked together with many other diversified instrumentalists to create a modern triumph.
The 20 minute long musical masterpiece will no doubt go down in history as a classic. ITunes has been swamped by buyers of the song. We can count on the Manti being hailed as legendary composers in the times to come. Alas, Wolfgang Mozart has been surpassed in the world of uber- classical music masterpieces. The Manti are already settling nicely as the smallest sentimental organisms on the planet.

The entire Lord of the Rings video games so far has ended with: ‘And with the ring destroyed, Middle Earth descended into a long reign of peace… and yaddah, peace, yaddah, fluffy bunnies, yaddah… or at least most of them. So, Lord of the Rings: Conquest offers a new outlook. Let’s see… save the world from Sauron… and then, after that… DESTROY IT AS SAURON! MUHAHAHA! Yes… Destroy all hobbits… The game play is ok, basically your average hack- and- slash fighter. You can go online and play multiplayer, or you can grab a random passerby and play a 2- player campaign offline. For instance, “Hey, dad, want to play Lord of the Rings with me?” “No.” “Ok! Let’s play!” Basically you can drag pretty much anyone in to play this, because skill doesn’t really help when you can just mash buttons and win.
I personally believe that one of the best features of this game is the “Play as Hero” option. During game play, you sometimes will respawn and have the option, ‘Play as ______ (insert hero/ villain name here). For instance, in the plains battle, you can play as Eowyn and kill the Witch King. After that, you gain the ‘No Man Am I’ trophy in your trophies section in the PlayStation 3. Also, you can play as Oliphants, Trolls, Balrog, and even an Ent. If you have a Siaxis Controller, it will vibrate like heck if you are near a moving Oliphant or troll or anything at least ten times your size. Take the reins of a battle ready Warg or horse and charge you enemies into nonexistence (I recommend this extremely destructive habit. It is nearly as fun as killing 100 orc grunts in a minute flat. It is also a good way to express your obsessive love of fantasy animals… in a video game). Be careful to not get killed though… it can be quite frustrating to start a whole stage over again because you thought it was fun to run underneath a Oliphant’s foot. Seriously, people. Do you enjoy the big, red FAILED loading screen? Or maybe it is a new form of masochistic activity… Do you do that on math tests, too? Ow! Don’t smack me! I’m sorry!
Anyway, this game is rated T for Teen (Pssh, of course not. It’s rated T for trees only. Oh wait… that would be ‘TO’. Sorry.) So, sorry, kiddies, I don’t know why you are reading this, but, too bad.

The students in Cab Calloway have a few questions, and they want them answered. But this breaking news will put a hush over the curious minds of Calloway. Firstly, where oh where have our beloved ceilings gone? Now, walking through the hallway or standing in the classrooms, the constant fear of having God-knows-what drip on our heads dominates, and studies show that if it were not enforced, students would indeed bring umbrellas to school. Second, why is it that our school does not have proper bread? It tends to be on the grainy side, and a strange color has recently been showing up. Well, as a wise… okay, it was just Mr. Drake. So: as a strange man once predicted, the ceilings are being used for a purpose that money doesn’t cover. Are our acoustic tiles being made into the unsatisfactory lunches we’ve been receiving? An interview with our undercover spy, Ian Alejandro, will uncover the truth you’ve been missing:
Ian, when I appointed you as my undercover assistant, did you really think you would find any suspicious activity at all?
Ahem… First of all… no.
What was your initial reaction when you discovered the major felony behind the disappearance of our ceiling?
I thought someone stole it, and then sold it on eBay.
And how did you come across your astounding discovery?
I was searching for my super-secret trench coat in the lost and found, when I came across a Sweeny Todd-esque meat grinder, which, upon further inspection, I found to be coated with a fine layer of ceiling dust.
And where exactly was this tile grinder?
Behind the lunch counter, near a large and suspicious pile of moldy ceiling tiles.
Did you question anyone?
Yes. I interrogated the lunch lady until she burst into tears and told me everything. I mean, ahem… no. I keep to myself.
I have one last question for you. Do you, or do you not, have proof of this major crime?
Yes. It’s in my briefcase. I’ll go get it.
Now, friends, teachers, and sworn enemies alike can all rest assured that they are not eating bread, but that it is, in fact, the ceiling they once learned, conspired, and plotted under. Thank you for your time. Kira Alejandro, out.

ARIES - the ram - March 21 to April 19
Just suck it up and face your fears. You may feel small right now, but this is your time to shine, and it won't last forever. And don't be afraid to make mistakes, because everyone does.
TAURUS - the bull - April 20 to May 20
You may not be able to get everything you want, but that doesn't mean you can't dream. So shoot for the moon, and if you miss, well, you miss, but you land amongst the stars... and if you miss them, try to snag yourself a nice comet. =)
GEMINI - the twins - May 21 to June 21
Take some time off for yourself. If you've been struggling to keep your grades up, OR if you're acing Algebra Two, you still need a little downtime so you don't get caught up in the Calloway drama. So just take some time to just chill and read a good book!
CANCER - the crab - June 22 to July 22
We hear you're a good listener, but you've got a mean mouth for gab... You may be a helpless romantic, or you may have eyes only for detail and learning, but don't get caught up in things that you lose sight of what you really want. XD
LEO - the lion - July 23 to August 22
You've been on fire lately! You've been set to get what you wanted, and that's exactly what you've got! If you find yourself in a rut, turn to a close friend for advice. And remember... Life is too short to be anyone but yourself!
VIRGO - the virgin - August 23 to September 22
In your case, we know you mean business! You have a critical eye for details, but a knack for perfection. You go for quality, not quantity, and you're quite put-together.
LIBRA - the balance- September 23 to October 23
You never seem to forget anything, and you're hardly ever caught unprepared. Your best accessory is a smile, and your motto lately is, "Life is Weird". But don't leave home without a book, because sometimes you need to live in someone else's world. =)
SCORPIO - the scorpion - October 24 to November 21
Whether you're laid back and cool, or hyper and bubbly, now's the time to get back on track. Whether you've grown apart from a friend, or if you super power has gone awry, now's the time to laugh at your mistakes; your carefree persona will keep you afloat!
SAGITTARIUS - the archer - November 22 to December 21
Lately it seems like you've been fooling yourself into happiness. Step back and assess the situation in third person - is this really what you want? If so, then keep going down that path of awesomeness! But we think you'll find something missing - whether it's a silhouette in your peripheral, or a goal just out of reach, you need to follow your heart, and leave that sense of mediocrity behind.
CAPRICORN - the goat - December 22 to January 19
The nonconformist that you are, it's time you take a breathe, and let the quiet kid behind you in homeroom get a few words in. Who knows? You may like what they have to say!
AQUARIUS - the water bearer - January 20 to February 18
you’re pretty laid back, and you love taking time to do what you want. You have a different take on life, and you have a more creative side (well, you go to Cab. Of course you do.) But you need to take time to be quiet and.... read a good book!
PISCES - the fishes - February 19 to March 20
Things are getting a little fishy (sorry) around here! Either you smell (no pun intended) a scandal, or somebody's shoes. Just keep an eye out for that bad egg - a friend may be headed upstream (I’m done now!) And try your hardest not to rub people the wrong way (oops!)

Yes I did stalk him. I did break into his house. And I found out his secret. A couple weeks ago when he left his bed room I quickly leapt into his room and noticed regain mixed with chia seeds I knew this couldn’t be the thing that could gives him hair. But then I heard him racing up the stairs I knew I was doomed. I quickly shot under the bed hoping not to get caught but then I saw him.
These next couple lines may shock every one reading this article.
So I will show you a picture of it.
Gasp I know!!! So I sat under his bed waiting to hear him say the slightest bit of evidence towards what I was looking for. But I didn’t even need him to say anything I had to move my hand to scratch my neck when I felt what appeared to be a wig. But it wasn’t kind of. It was a bald wig. Just so if you don’t know what a bald wig is it’s a wig that makes you look bald. I know what you’re saying why some one would want to be bald, I know either. He left the room again I made a dive out his window landing in his trashcan piled up to the top with wall words from last year. The next morning I walked in to his room and had him take a picture of his famous pinky to mouth combo. And I had him stand in front of the door and then right before I took the picture I turned on the fan and snapped the picture and ran. And that is my story and now you all know. Mr. Mazz has a Mohawk.

After many childhood dreams and 50 thousand tons
of concrete Sarah
Palin’s wall is finished. Ever since she was 5 she
dreamed of connecting her home land and her
favorite place together. After 35years of hard work
her life long dream is finished. We got up close and
personal with Sarah and she had this to say “After years of seeing
Russia from my house, I can finally visit and tell my wonderful tails of watching from a distance. Gosh, I hope they don’t get creeped out eh?” With the concern of our almost Vice President on our minds we went to talk to the Première of Russia. He had this to say. “We are
completely insulted that an American would connect us!!! If we wanted to be part of America we would have said something. We
will begin the destruction of this bridge immediately.” Though not many people have seen Sarah’s bridge it shall always be
remembered. That is until John McCain finishes his teleporter…

Alright then I think that two colors on top of each for ex. Pink on pink [pink shirt and pink pants] are not that appealing just except for the color black and gray. Other than those two everything else is hard to find an exact match. If you like two colors make them match. Neon colors look nice with a normal dark color. Some colors need to be in a pattern. Make sure you have the same amount of each color or pretty close. YOU MUST be careful when trying to wear more then 3 colors. Only 1 neon color all of the other colors must be normal. Of course black and white go with everything so don’t be plain! Give it some SPICE. Personally I love light colored jeans. They look brilliant with everything.
2nd
This is what you wear when your;
Going to prom;
Gold; wear it with a purple or black
Green; this is a hard one but I got it. Wear it with a gold, black or very light pink.
Pink; a black, white, red, gold , gray , purple ,or brown
Black; everything
Going to or having a Party;
Laid back; light blue jeans && a nice bright shirt with matching or going together shoes.
3rd I saw the most amazing thing in the Christiana Mall! Do you want to know exactly where and what they are? In Delia’s I saw huge flare pants. They are 49.50! Of course I had to buy a pair. They don’t really look like jeans but they are. They look like soft jeans.
Suspenders are really coming back. I love them but I do think they are some what of a hassle when trying to put them on your shoulders. I would rather just wear them down to my knees. Lastly Pea coats are the stuff. My mom went on aeropostale’s website and saw a pea coat. It was black and gray and blue. But it wasn’t on the racks yet at the store. So my mom ordered it. May I remind you it was in like June so I haven’t worn it until beginning of October. Then I saw everyone else wear it shortly after for about half the price I got it for. So waiting does pay off. Don’t wait for too long or there won’t be any left. That’s a little word of the “wise” for the winter.
4th:
I know that all of us sometimes go to school looking one way, and then come back looking another. Its either stains, tears or spots in our clothes. One way to avoid our little friends is to find out when the cafeteria will be serving our favorite spaghetti at school just when its time to wear our favorite white shirt. Or try not to eat like a savage at lunch. That’s all there is to that little mayhem.

Hilary duff unexpectedly sung this huge song, reach out. I actually had no idea that she had an awesome song like this until about a week before Valentines Day when I heard it on the radio. Hilary I don’t know how she managed it but some how she managed a huge come back from my prospective. Reach out is a huge song compared to many of Hilary’s other hits or just plain songs. I think that if she keep all her songs this way, we'll have another Taylor Swift on our hands. We all know how of singer she is right. I am sure that once you guys hear this song you will surly agree.

I am sure in this school of the arts, students you have all heard of and listened to Katy Perry. Every editor has a reason for writing the type of article that they write. Today my reason for writing about thinking of you by Katy Perry is if I hear the song one more time I will explode. The song it's self is so awesome that I listen to it all the time. I could seriously sing the song a few times through knowing all the words. The song thinking of you isn’t very fast as in rock and roll or hip hop, it is kind of slow, and I believe that is mostly why people will love it. Thinking of you the song made me think of how much the students and possibly staff would enjoy listening to it. I am very hopeful that when I request songs to you students you actually take time to listen to them. I am especially hopeful with this song.

Give it up give it up give it up for KID ROCK and his new song roll on. Now I don’t know about you guys but when you hear this song you guys are going to say (I WANT TO HEAR IT AGAIN!)

I swear I have learned that all of kid rocks songs are perfect. This song shows it all the way. Want to hear go to MUSICTALES.COM

I am sure as I always say u guys have heard of this famous singer. Taylor Swift awesome singer with a great voice. The title of this song of hers is called CHANGE. I think this was a perfect title for this song because it is truly time for a change. I am sure if you listen to this song you will get some of the feedback of that. If you want to listen to this song and any other you can always go to WWW.musictunes4u.com/newmusic.php you will see how amazing and true this song really is. This song truly carries a person’s spirit.

I have to give a great respect to Brittany Spears this year. People will stat regretting all the bad things that they have said about her. She is showing a great com back in her music there are to great songs that are going to be said and need to be heard by every and anybody. The fist song is Womanizer. Great song, I am sure if you haven’t yet heard it you are sure to love it. I am not usually into anything but soul and hip-hop but I love this song to death. I am sure not to be the only one. The next song hat I like of Britney is (Shattered Glass) another song needed to be heard. This song is fast and active. It is true and it is a great song. I am pretty sure not a lot of people can have bad things to say about it. It is almost impossible.

Hey MUSIC IS HERE TO STAY!
I particularly love music as I am sure many of you students do. I always see cab students running around with iPods, so I know they do. Know I know every single person in this school has heard of Chris Brown. It is totally impossible if you haven’t! Well Chris Brown has just come out with something hotter then them all! Well this time it is actually Chris Brown feat. Keri Hilson. The title is very different and unusual it is called SUPERHUMAN. I know a lot of girls out there and maybe boys who fall all over Mr. Chris Brown here so for those of you who that occur to I think you better get out there and search for it like Mrs. Naya Jacobs out there somewhere.

I am sure many of u has heard of the famous singer Beyonce Knowles but u may not have heard of her new song (If I were a boy) it is a great song! If you haven’t heard it surly you need to. I have given websites for other songs I have given, but u definitely have to check this out if u haven’t already. I read that beyonce as put this album out to express to her newest male companion Jay-z. I think she is probably doing a very good job of it!

It was a regular, old Cab Day. No ceiling, cardboard floor in the lobby, and the insane sound of construction workers. There was only won thing though. You could feel love in the air but not the love in a romantic story... more like love in the most disgusting way. There was a girl; the girl remains “the girl”, because telling her name would cause trouble for me, was walking down the hallway. There was a glow to her like an angel from heaven [it ended up being a costume that was so out of date! That was out like last week. DUHHH!] and she was actually happy for once. I think nobody was picking on her. People picked on her because of her short skinny body but just were thing…a BIG BUTT. On the other hand was a boy; the boy remains “a boy”, because telling his name would cause trouble for me, was also walking down the hallway during 5th period. He had a uniqueness to him like he invented something that people in Delaware probably can’t do [not making fun of Delaware I just needed to use a state and Delaware is...well......*crickets*].People were also not making fun of him. He stunk! I noticed that he went to the stairway and the girl wasn’t in Science with me. We were doing DNA Testing and blood creeped me out. I asked to go to the nurse. I always felt queasy at the sight of blood. Mr. Beam signed my pass and I ran to the stairway but what did I see...... [Do you really want to know? I’m going to tell you anyways. HEHE! I answered the question for you so...so...*crickets*] I saw THE GIRL and THE BOY kissing. As you read in the beginning I said quote:” You could feel love in the air but not the love in a romantic story... more like love in the most disgusting way.”, and that is exactly what I meant. A big butt and STANK! can give you love. You know how people say age doesn’t matter; well I guess size and cleanliness doesn’t matter.

Is the Legal System Fair?
A woman left her child in the car seat occasional times when the weather went up to 100 degrees! The woman would go to work leaving the child in the car for up to eight hours. She has another daughter and was told by a daycare worker that she shouldn’t leave that child in the car but she didn’t listen. So what happened to the child? The poor, little, innocent girl dies and many people think the mother did it on purpose. The average person would have the sense to not leave their child in the car. That’s why some people call this murder. So what happened to the mother? She is at home with her other daughter and not in jail where personally I think she should be. A man in Philadelphia owned a puppy mill and shot more than 50 of them. He claimed that they were unwanted dogs. As two investigators. Bill Smith from MLAR look throughout the filthy mill, they see dogs covered in there waste. How disgusting and sad it was to see some of the dogs. Some were crippled. Lisa and Bill thankfully, saved many dogs and are now in good care and with loving families. The thing is this guy never went to jail. That seems kind of weird. A man went to jail for accidentally killing a dog. He was driving and it was late and dark outside. He hit the dog and the owner of the dog sued him. The man was sentenced to jail for 2 years. Is the Legal System fair?

A German Shepard. The VP dog for Joe Biden 08'. Cute, and furry as this pal is, it has more fame the then new chosen VP, and president! My personal opinion on this is... I LOVE IT! A German Shepard is a great choice for Joe Biden, and it would probably be a great good natured friend. I'm hopeful that this will also bring a whole new inspiration for new comer president, President Elect Obama to choose his new dog for his two daughters.
Although, I need to stay on the topic of Joe Biden's new dog! I really do like the idea of having a German Shepard next to the president's side. I think the press does too, because in recent news you know of the economy crisis, automakers, and job losses, but guess what?!? In the recent news paper they put an article on the German Shepard as the first article, instead of putting our economical crisis first! How 'bout that for a "crisis"?

Winter is partly known to be cold scenery with strong winds that could blow away your hat, burying in the piles of snow as though it was a white desert of mounts, but it is mostly a definition of pure warmth for the upcoming and anticipating holidays. Cherished moments of presents wrapped in colorful bows while watching the lights of the trees flicker like traffic lights with different shades of red and green. The fire shares its warmth as it sways eagerly, and your there… leaning against a stool… still as thawing ice as you take each step, with the beat of the tree’s beaded lights, looking around you in awe, and the you sit with your family, and watch traditional movies of animation or realistic for the a holiday treat…
Mum… isn’t this just a dream! Hello?! Reality! Snap out of it! With the way the present is running right now this is a rare case of what you read above. People have been wrapped up in their own situation that having that simple tradition of family, friends, and happiness is challenged. Let’s use a simple example. The famous tradition of watching a holiday movie or a holiday animation has formed into brainless cartoons! You can’t run away from the swallowed pity of reality. The only thing you can do is to have YOUR tradition. It could be eating cheerios for dinner if all I care! The only thing that really matters is that you’re having an enjoyable time with family, and maybe even your relatives.

Yes. It is true. There is a brand new invention out there that will cure loneliness, and something you can have some fun with. Robotic babies. Also known as “Robo-Babies”. This new invention took months of hard work and concentration and it is finally selling in stores. It’s weird to think you can buy robotic babies. Don’t you think? Well it is actually a very nice thing indeed. I have bought one myself, and boy she’s a handful!
These Robo-Babies are pretty much the exact replica of an actual baby. And it’s not one of those silly kid toys. It is just like a living baby, and you need to take good care of it. Which includes all the fun stuff; changing diapers, feeding, bathing, and burping! Oh and don’t worry, their waterproof. You can play with it; take a walk with it in the stroller, whatever you like. Want to re-live baby’s first steps? Well this baby can also learn by you how to walk and talk. And if you have pets, this baby can get along with any pet you have, and your pet is guaranteed to like it! It will fit into the family immediately. I know mine did.
This is no lie. Some celebrities were even talking about buying one for them. Britney Spears quotes: “I’d love to have another!” I even saw for myself a few of them holding the babies. And all the people I’ve talked to on the street about it did nothing but ask where to get them. In a few months from now, everyone will have a robotic baby. I can just see it now. So don’t miss out.

That would be the question. Should tobacco really be outlawed? I personally think that it should be. Especially cigarettes. They are dangerous in many ways not just because they severely damage your body in many ways. But that it affects the people around the person smoking the cigarette. There is no good thing about smoking and why people start I do not know. Even though there can be multiple reasons, it’s always a bad decision. To me, tobacco is useless and should be made Illegal.
If you really think about it, there’s nothing good about tobacco. It is a drug that is VERY harmful. It’s addicting and life threatening. So many things can happen to you if you start smoking and using tobacco. You age more rapidly, your teeth turn yellow, and it could cause wrinkles and make you have very strong smelling breath. Trust me, that is not a good thing! Not only can it cause changes to your body that you can see, but it affects inside your body as well. Such as Your lungs, esophagus, throat and even your heart. It can also sometimes cause cancer. Now why would you want to buy something like that?
But really, why would people want to sell things that can shorten your life span? Or could give you terrible diseases? The only reason that I can think of is obvious. To make money, but there are many other ways to make money that aren’t harmful to people. They can think of other ways. Not to blame it all on the people that sell them, because the people that makes them are to blame too. Not only are them, the consumers are to blame too. They could make the choice themselves not to buy it, but if it wasn’t out in the first place, that would probably help a lot.
So I hope whoever reads this gets my point. Smoking is one of the worst possible things you could do to your body. Don’t start, why take the risk? I seriously think that tobacco should be outlawed. Think about it the next time you pick up that cancer stick. (;
I know that is a lot! lol, i just went through and edited it all. it isnt even all the articles, maybe 3quarters of them? but anyways, idk if u alredy edited them so if u alredy did...uh...yup :)
