Brief and Oral Argument, Denver Dispatch

May it please the court; we are the petitioners, representing the Denver Dispatch newspaper.

We appear before you today to ask the Supreme Court to remove the court order that forbids the Denver Dispatch from publishing articles about biological warfare at the Boulder Research Laboratory.

This case is all about how the Denver Dispatch should publish articles about secrets about the government’s biological warfare. We believe the Supreme Court should remove the court order that forbids the Denver Dispatch to publish articles about biological warfare at the Boulder Research Laboratory.

The first reason we believe the Supreme Court should remove the court order that forbids the Denver Dispatch to publish articles about biological warfare at the Boulder Research Laboratory is because of the past Supreme Court decision in Schenck v. United States, in 1919.

This case was about if Charles Schenck could publish anti-war leaflets that said the government shouldn’t be able to force young men into war. Congress had passed a new law that said it was against the law to encourage men to not be drafted for the war.

Justice Holmes wrote as part of the majority, ““We have to ask ourselves every time that we look at a case, ‘Are the words that are said or written used in such a way that they cause a clear and present danger?’…It is a question of how close is this possible danger and how dangerous it could be. Things which we allow in peacetime are sometimes too dangerous to allow in wartime.”

We believe this applies to the Denver Dispatch case because the Denver Dispatch has words that can cause danger. Also, things that are allowed in the Denver Dispatch in peacetime are dangerous in wartime.

The second reason we believe the Supreme Court should remove the court order that forbids the Denver Dispatch to publish articles about biological warfare at the Boulder Research Laboratory is because of the past Supreme Court decision in Near v. Minnesota in 1931.

This case was about whether Jay Near could publish his newspaper, the Saturday Press. The newspaper attacked everyone physically and emotionally.

Justice Hughes wrote as part of the majority that, ““We have usually believed that freedom of the press means that a newspaper can publish what is wants and that the government cannot stop it from publishing what it wants.”

We believe this applies to the Denver Dispatch case because the First Amendment protects the Denver Dispatch’s right to publish what it wants. The Denver Dispatch can publish information on the biological warfare (anthrax X).

The third reason we believe the Supreme Court should remove the court order that forbids the Denver Dispatch to publish articles about biological warfare at the Boulder Research Laboratory is because of the past Supreme Court decision in New York Times v. United States in 1971.

This case was about if the New York Times could publish the “Pentagon Papers” and if they were breaking a law publishing these papers with secret information.

Justice White wrote as part of the majority, ““There are times in which the press can be prevented from publishing information about government plans or operations.”

We believe this applies to the Denver Dispatch case because there are times when the Denver Dispatch can get prevented from publishing information but this time is not one of those times.

The last reasons we believe the Supreme Court should remove the court order that forbids the Denver Dispatch to publish articles about biological warfare at the Boulder Research Laboratory is because of the what is written in the United States Constitution.

It is written that in the Constitution that Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press. Congress is not allowed to make laws that stop people from speaking, writing, printing, and broadcasting.

We believe that this applies to the Denver Dispatch because the government has no right to stop the Denver Dispatch from writing and printing.

It is also written in the Constitution that the people of the United States set out rules that the government must follow. The Constitution was made to keep peace in the nation, bring about justice, defend the nation a s a whole from foreign enemies, make peoples’ lives better, and make sure that the people remain free.

We believe that this applies to the Denver Dispatch because the Denver Dispatch was written to warn the people of anthrax x. This defends people’s lives.

You have heard the arguments from the petitioner, the Denver Dispatch. We ask the Justices to uphold the freedom of the press granted in the First Amendment and to allow the newspaper to continue to publish the articles about biological warfare research.



Brief and Oral Argument, United States Government

May it please the court; we are the respondents, representing the United States government.

We appear before you today to ask the Supreme Court to uphold the court order that the lower court and the appeals court imposed on the Denver Dispatch newspaper.

This case is about not letting the Denver Dispatch publish military secrets about biological warfare in Boulder, Colorado.

We believe the Supreme Court should forbid the newspaper from publishing further articles about biological warfare research at the Boulder Research Laboratory.

The first reason we believe the Supreme Court should forbid the newspaper to publish further articles about biological warfare research at the Boulder Research Laboratory is because of the past Supreme Court decision in Schenck v. United States, in 1919.

This case was about Charles Schenck printing 15, 000 leaflets.

Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote as part of the majority, “What someone is constitutionally allowed to do depends upon the time and place in which it is done. . .Things which we allow in peacetime are sometimes too dangerous to allow in wartime.”

We believe this applies to the Denver Dispatch case because we are in a war. Freedom of speech isn’t important while in a war.

The second reason we believe the Supreme Court should forbid the newspaper to publish further articles about biological warfare research at the Boulder Research Laboratory is because of the past Supreme Court decision in Near v. Minnesota in 1931.

This case was about Jay Near publishing a newspaper which was anti-Jewish, anti-government, and it attacked everyone: gangsters, police, commissioners, and even the mayor.

Justice Butler wrote as part of the minority, “The newspaper has already published false and outrageous stories that harm the reputations of various people. The use of the law in this case is a way of punishing the newspaper for already abusing its right of freedom of the press.”

We believe this applies to the Denver Dispatch case because the Denver Dispatch is already abusing the Freedom of the Press.

The third reason we believe the Supreme Court should forbid the newspaper from publishing further articles about biological warfare research at the Boulder Research Laboratory is because of the past Supreme Court decision in New York Times v. United States in 1971.

This case was about whether it was constitutional for the New York Times to publish past military secrets and the thinking of the U.S. generals.

Justice Blackmun wrote as part of the minority opinion. “Each section of the Constitution is important and [we] do not believe that the First Amendment is so important. . . .”

We believe this applies to the Denver Dispatch case because we believe the First Amendment isn’t that important that it stands above the other sections.

The last reason we believe the Supreme Court should remove the court order that forbids the Denver Dispatch to publish articles about biological warfare at the Boulder Research Laboratory is because of the what is written in the United States Constitution.

It is written in the Constitution that the Constitution was made to “keep peace in the nation.”

We believe this applies to the Denver Dispatch case because if the lab gives out secrets there will be no peace in the nation.

It is also written in the Constitution that “the President is the Chief Executive.”

We believe this applies to the Denver Dispatch case because he (or she) must protect us if he (or she) thinks it is dangerous.

You have heard the arguments from the respondents, the United States government. We ask the Justices to uphold the constitutional right of the government to protect the national security by blocking the Denver Dispatch articles on biological warfare research.



Denver Dispatch v. United States 2009
Docket Number 93-8000

1. The Story:
The government want to stop the publication of the Denver Dispatch newspaper because they think it’s saying military secrets about a biological weapons laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. In the lower courts the Denver Dispatch lost and they kept appealing until they got to the Supreme Court.

2. The Denver Dispatch Goes to the Supreme Court

The lawyers for the government argued:
The lawyers for the government argued that the Denver Dispatch should not publish the Denver Dispatch because they thought it was giving away military secrets. They argued that the First Amendment right to Freedom of the Press was not the most important Amendment.

The lawyers for the Denver Dispatch argued:
The lawyers for the Denver Dispatch argued that they have the freedom to print their articles and the people should know what the military is doing in the lab.

The Supreme Court Justices decided:
The Supreme Court voted 5 to 4 in favor of the Denver Dispatch.

Writing for the majority, Justice RockGirl voted in favor of the Denver Dispatch. She wrote:

I, RockGirl, believe the Denver Dispatch has the Constitutional right to publish information about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. I believe they have this right because you can’t break the Constitution because terrorists “might” attack or “may” attack. I do not believe the government has the Constitutional right to stop the Denver Dispatch from publishing because if the government stops the Denver Dispatch from publishing terrorists may still attack.

Writing for the majority, Justice Mets1 voted in favor of the Denver Dispatch. He wrote:

I, Mets1, believe the Denver Dispatch has the Constitutional right to publish information about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado because like the Denver Dispatch said, terrorists won’t attack because it is peace time not war time.

I believe the Government doesn’t have the Constitutional right to stop the Denver Dispatch from publishing information about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado because the Congress has no right to make laws that stop people from speaking, writing, printing, or broadcasting. I don’t think they have anything to be worried about because it is peacetime.

Writing for the majority, Justice SuperStar9 voted in favor of the Denver Dispatch. She wrote:

I, SuperStar9, believe the Denver Dispatch has the Constitutional right to publish information about the military Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. I believe they have this right because, “there are times in which the press can be prevented from publishing information about government plans or operations.” But this time is not one of those times. I do not believe the government has the Constitutional right to stop the Denver Dispatch from publishing information about the military in Boulder, Colorado. We believe this applies to the Denver Dispatch case because the Denver Dispatch is already abusing the freedom of the press. But they aren’t publishing false and outrageous stories. So why punish them?

Writing for the majority, Justice HolibackGurl voted in favor of the Denver Dispatch. She wrote:

I, HolibackGurl, believe the Denver Dispatch has the Constitutional right to publish information about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. I believe that they have this right because they published one article and there has been no terrorist attack. Also they are warning people about this Anthrax X so if this stuff got out it could have killed someone. I do not believe the government has this Constitutional right to stop the Denver Dispatch from publishing information about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado because they put national security in front of the First Amendment. Also they didn’t do very well about answering questions.

Writing for the majority, Justice BlackPanther voted in favor of the Denver Dispatch. He wrote:

I, BlackPanther, believe the Denver Dispatch has the Constitutional right to publish information about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. I believe they have this right because the people should know what the government is doing in the lab. The government said they have the cure for Anthrax X so why are they afraid that the Denver Dispatch will publish the secrets? We are in peacetime not in wartime. I do not believe the government has the Constitutional right to stop the Denver Dispatch from publishing information about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado because they said they have the cure for Anthrax X so why should they be afraid. The Denver Dispatch has freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

Writing for the minority, Justice Alvarez voted in favor of the government. He wrote:

I, Mario64, believe the government has the Constitutional right to stop the Denver Dispatch from publishing information about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. I believe they have this right because they want to publish papers that reveal the military secrets. I do not believe the Denver Dispatch has the Constitutional right to publish information about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado because it’s revealing military secrets that are not supposed to be heard even if there is a virus or anything that might get us sick.

Writing for the minority, FamousStar3000, voted in favor of the government. She wrote:

I, FamousStar3000, believe the government has the Constitutional right to stop the Denver Dispatch from publishing about the military laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. I think the government has the right to stop publishing these articles. The government wants to keep our county safe. I do not believe the Denver Dispatch has the right to publish these articles. The articles might fall into the wrong hands and something bad might happen. Even though it’s been peacetime for a long time, you don’t know what can happen. Something can happen any day now if those articles are published.

Writing for the minority, Justice Luigi2Power voted in favor of the government. He wrote:

I, Luigi2Power, believe the government has the Constitutional right to stop the Denver Dispatch from publishing information about the military lab in Boulder, Colorado. I believe they have the right because like they said, if the newspaper was published then our enemies can find out and the public might worry. I do not believe the Denver Dispatch has the right to publish information about the military secrets because our enemies might find out, and they will make a plan to destroy us.

Writing for the minority, Justice MusicGirl voted in favor of the government. She wrote:

I, MusicGirl, believe the Government has the Constitutional right to stop the Denver Dispatch from publishing information about the military laboratory. I believe they have this right because what if the next five articles put us in danger if they are published? What if people find out more about Anthrax X and it gets in the wrong hands and hurts innocent people and the military can’t get there in time to stop the Anthrax X? Like the attorneys for the government said, “The First Amendment isn’t the most important part of the Constitution.” I believe that because it’s not the only Amendment or the only part of the Constitution. I think they should all be thought of as equally. Also, like the people in my family say, “You’re better safe than sorry.” I do not believe the Denver Dispatch has the Constitutional right to publish information about the military laboratory in Bolder, Colorado. First, when I saw the attorneys argue for the Denver Dispatch they looked like they weren’t collected. But when I saw the attorneys argue for the government, I thought that they were very put together and knew what they were doing. Second, I liked the way they said their argument and stated their rebuttal. They answered the questions very clearly, and I wasn’t as confused when they were stating their rebuttal and argument. So that’s why I agree with the government.

The Sand Lot (A)

Article posted June 22, 2009 at 02:04 PM GMT0 • comment (1) • Reads 1194

The "Sand Lot" is about these nine kids that always playing in a sand lot. It’s in the old days. But a greedy dog lives behind the rusty old fence that is in the sand lot.
So one day one of the nine boys (Smalls) hits a baseball signed by Babe Ruth. They had to get it back because it was Small's dad's signed baseball and it was signed by Babe Ruth! Whatever goes over that fence stays over the fence! So they tried every way to get the ball back. They just couldn’t get it back so Benny jumped over the fence and got the ball. The dog chased Benny through the whole town. Then when they got back to the sand lot the dog knocked over the fence. But it’s a good thing they got the ball back.

I think people should see this movie because it’s the funniest movie ever seen. It’s also a terrific kids movie. It’s my favorite movie.

Gymnastics Regional Competition (WP)

Article posted June 10, 2009 at 02:52 PM GMT0 • comment (2) • Reads 532

I just had a gymnastics competition and it was called "Regionals." It was so fun and also really exciting because I did such a good job at it. I got a 9.987 on floor and a 8.464 on beam and a 9.435 on bars and a 9.998 on vault. I think I did pretty good.

I mostly like bars because my nickname is "Monkey Girl" because I’m a gymnast and I swing like a monkey and act like a monkey. On bars I also get to swing on the bars which I think is really fun for me.

I’m really excited that I actually made it to bars because at the State Competition you had to get a 33.5 on all-around. I made over it which I'm also really excited for.

Now I have Nationals coming up. It's on June 27. . . .I think, well, I hope I do good at Nationals. . . .

Wish me luck! Bye! =D

Teens shouldn't smoke or drink (A)

Article posted June 2, 2009 at 02:40 PM GMT0 • comment (1) • Reads 1181

Do you want your child to smoke or drink? Do you want them to have a short life? Do you feel they just never listen to you? Teens should stop smoking and drinking!

First of all, they could get drunk and hurt other people. Someone in my class knows this person and their uncle came home drunk. His wife wouldn’t let him inside the house so he tried to break through the window. Then he broke his whole arm and there was a pile of blood on the side walk. That’s how bad it is to be drunk.

In addition, it is very bad for your insides. Smoking can make your teeth yellow, your hair fall out, and your finger nails turn yellow and brown. You can also get lung cancer, brain cancer, breast cancer, mouth cancer, and stomach cancer, and die from all of the cancers.

And most importantly, you can die when you are really young. Once in the village in front of Sal’s Pizzeria this kid that was about 14 was asking for a cigarette from this old man. The old man was just ignoring him. He’s’ already 14 and smoking! He’ll probably die young.

Most teenagers think their cool for smoking and drinking in front of their friends which is bad because they can’t stop. But I think they shouldn’t smoke or drink because it can slow their life down.

Smoking and drinking is bad for teens because you can die when your young and you’re not cool when you smoke and drink. I mean, why do they smoke and drink anyway? Do they think it’s cool? TEENS, DON’T SMOKE OR DRINK!

Introduction
This song is about my great grandma who passed away a year ago. I'll always miss her because she was the best grandma ever. I remember when I went to her house and I always had my stuffed animal dog. It's name was Stuffy. I always used to go on my grandma's deck. I used to always drop Stuffy over the deck so me and my grandma had to go outside and go around the corner and into her backyard and get Stuffy. I always thought it was so funny. I also remember she told me that every morning she would go outside and feed the deer and rabbits that came in her back yard. One day my mom woke me up on a Saturday morning and she said that Nanny (my great grandma) died and. I started to cry. My mom was holding me in her arms while I was crying. Now I'm about to cry again. Well, here goes the song. . . !

All hands on deck,
always saying what you want to say.
Everyone goes on your side.
Always sitting on my bed
and writing in my diary
about how much I miss you!
I miss you
I miss your smile
and I still share the tears
every once in a while
and even though I'm different from now
your still here somehow
my heart won't let you go
cause I need you to know
I miss you
sha la la la la
I miss you
you used to call me your angel
said you were staring down at meeeee
you hold me close in your arms
I love the way you looked at me
cause I miss you
I miss your smile
and I still share the tears
every once in a while
and even though it's different from now
you're still here somehow
my heart won't let you go
cause I need you to know
I miss you
sha la la la la
I miss youuuuuuuu!

Fizzle-the greety little fox (N)

Article posted May 15, 2009 at 02:34 PM GMT0 • comment (1) • Reads 869

I felt so bad for this little fox! In a person's yard this fox came and there was food in the jar that the fox found in the backyard. The fox started to eat it. After that the fox stuck his head in the jar to get the food out. The fox was stuck. He was struggling to get out and he couldn’t. That’s why I felt really bad for him. Then the animal rescue came and helped the fox out of the jar. They got him out and the fox TOOK OFF!

After that the people that owned the yard put out food and drinks for the fox, but the fox NEVER came back. The people that owned the yard thought that the fox would never come back to their yard again because the fox learned its lesson.

High healed (WP, Video)

Article posted May 13, 2009 at 02:05 AM GMT0 • comment (3) • Reads 504

High Healed

Inspired by the songs of Miley Cyrus (and Hannah Montana).

Characters:
Alyssa
Maggie
Max
Mini
Alexa
Dad
Six Girls



(Walking to school.)

Alyssa (walking towards Maggie): Hey, Maggie.

Maggie: Hey Alyssa.

Alyssa: OMG! I just remembered that they’re having a major sale on high heels in a couple of days!

Maggie (under her breath): Oh, high heels? Of course. . . .

Alyssa: Did you say something?

Maggie (smiling and walking farther from her): No!

Alyssa: There’s something up with her today….

(In school hallway.)

Alyssa: I’m telling you there is something up with her. I tried talking to her in Biology but she wouldn’t talk to me. I asked her if she was mad at me, and she said no. It’s just like she’s not the same ever since I told her about the high heels shoe sale.

Max: Maybe she doesn’t like high heels?

Mini: Yeah, maybe Max is right?

Alyssa (taking a deep breath): Nooooo! No, no, stop saying that! Oh!

Alexa: You never know, Alyssa.

(Max, Mini, and Alexa walk off.)

Alyssa (putting her hands over her eyes not knowing what to do): No, that can’t be it. Maybe it is, I don’t know.

(Maggie enters. Alyssa still has her hands over her eyes.)

Maggie: Hi, Alyssa!

Alyssa: AH! You scared me!

Maggie: Oh, sorry.

Alyssa: Hey, you haven’t been the same ever since I told you about the shoe sale on high heels. And Max said that maybe you don’t like high heels anymore. I know that can’t be possible, right?

Maggie: Uh, of course not! BYE!

(Maggie runs off.)

Alyssa: Now there is DEFINITELY something wrong with her today!

(The scene changes to Alyssa’s house. Alyssa walks in to her dad and mom’s room and her dad is watching TV on the bed.)

Alyssa: Hey dad, Maggie was really different today.

Dad: Why?

Alyssa: Well, I’m not really sure but it started ever since I told her about the high heels sale that’s in an hour.

Dad: Maybe she doesn’t like high heels.

Alyssa: WHY DOES EVERYBODY KEEP SAYING THAT?! Max, Mini and Alexa said that and now my dad. Uuuugggghhhh!

Dad: Maybe they’re right.

(The doorbell rings.)

Alyssa: I’ll get it!

(Alyssa opens the door.)

Alyssa: Hey, Maggie, come in.

(They go and sit on the couch.)

Alyssa: I need to ask you a question.

Maggie: Sure, anything. What is it Alyssa? Wait, I think I know. Are you gonna’ ask why I have been so strange today. It’s because. . . .

Alyssa: What is it?

Maggie (NOT telling the truth): Jjuuusstt because. . . .I was in one of my moods.

Alyssa: Well, ok!

(Maggie hangs out a little at her house. After, Alyssa goes on a three way phone call with Max, Alexa, and Mini.)

Max: Soooo, what happened with you guys?

Alyssa: She said that she was in one of her “moods.”

Mini: Do you believe her?

Alyssa: I don’t know, should I?

Alexa: Well, it’s up to you.

Alyssa: What do you think guys?

Mini: Yup, I agree, it’s up to you.

Alyssa: Max? You got any advice?

Max: Nope, sorry. I agree with Alexa and Mini too.

Alyssa: Wait, I’m getting another call. It’s Maggie! What do I do?-

Mini: Just speak to her!

Alyssa: But what if. . . ?

Max, Mini, and Alexa at the same time: GO!

Alyssa: Fine, fine, bye!

Max, Mini, and Alexa at the same time: Bye!

Max: You think she’s gonna’ make it?

Alexa: Not at all.

Mini: Same.

(They all get off the phone. Alyssa and Maggie are on the phone)

Alyssa: Hey, Maggie.

Maggie: Hey, Alyssa. I was wondering if you were free on Friday. Maybe we can have one of our sleepovers!

Alyssa: Friday, Friday, uh, yeah I think I’m free.

Maggie: Your house, 6:00?

Alyssa: Awesome!

Maggie: K

Maggie: Bye!

Alyssa: Bye!

(Next day, two days before the sleepover, Alyssa passes Maggie in the hallway. Maggie is talking to Mini, Max and Alexa. Alyssa realizes she is wearing shoes instead of high heals. Alyssa wipes her eyes thinking she’s seeing wrong. When she takes her hand off of her eyes she sees she wasn’t mistaken. Alyssa just shrugs and walks off.)

(Day of the sleepover. Scene changes to Alyssa’s concert. Maggie and Alyssa are together, arms locked with each other. Max, Mini, Alexa and six girls are behind them.)

Maggie: Good luck.

(They hug each other.)

Max: Well, we better go take or seats.

Mini: Yeah, you did amazing.

Maggie: OK, who is ready to have some fun? Turn the music up loud, Alyssa!

(“Girls just wanna’ have fun” starts to play and everyone starts dancing.)

Maggie: I come home in the morning light
My mother says, "When you gonna live your life right?"
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun

Alyssa: The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells, "what you gonna do with your life?"
Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one
And girls, they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have

Both: That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun

(Girls they wanna, wanna have fun)
(Girls, they wanna have)

Alyssa: Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I wanna be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have
Maggie: That's all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun

One of the six girls: I just love that song!!

Maggie: I know, right!?



(Mom enters Alyssa’s room.)

Mom: Girls, was that you making all that sound?

Alyssa: Oh, sorry, mom, we’ll try to keep it down.

(Mom exits.)

Maggie: I have a little surprise for you.

(Maggie pulls out a best friend necklace and the heart is broken so they both have one. Then they hug!)

Alyssa: Aw, thanks and I have a surprise for you.

(“Full circle” starts playing. Alyssa knows Maggie absolutely loves that song!)

Alyssa:
I’ve been in a rut
Back and forth enough
Heart like the wheel
Without you around
So uncomfortable is how it feels
Every time you’re near
Trouble disappears
Under the ground
But when you go too far
Silver clouds will start hanging around

And I know why
Try to run
But I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
And I can’t jump the track
Can’t let you go
Tried to once
So I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
‘Cause I know you’ll come around
You’ll come around

Skippin' down a broken path
How long can I last?
Please let me know
Where’s the finish line
‘Cause I’ve got to find somewhere to go
I don’t want to hear
These people interfere
What do they know?
What I feel inside
When I’m up all night
Needing you oh…

I don’t know why
Tried to run
But I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
And I can’t jump the track
Can’t let you go
Tried to once
So I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
‘Cause I know you’ll come around
You’ll come around
‘Cause I know you’ll come around
You’ll come around

I'll keep on runnin’
Till we meet in the middle
I'll push it right aside
And I give just a little
There’s miles to go
But wait
Don’t hold back
We’ll make it

And I know why
Tried to run
But I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
And I can’t jump the track
Can’t let you go
Tried to once
So I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
‘Cause I know you’ll come around
You’ll come around
I know you’ll come around
You’ll come around
Yeah I know you’ll come around
You’ll come around

Maggie: I just love it when you sing that song!

Alyssa: And that’s why I sang it!

Alexa: Okay, I’ve been enjoying the songs but why not dancing.

(Maggie and Alyssa and Alexa both look at each other and smile.)



The music starts to play “Lets Dance.”

Alyssa: The weekend's almost done
The moon is low in the sky
I feel like going out
Before the night passes by
I won't just sit around
When life becomes a drag

(Music plays. Everyone starts doing the tango. Alyssa and Maggie pair up.)

Maggie: I like the base (turn it up, turn it up, and turn it up)

(Maggie and Alyssa trip after the song is over because Maggie is wearing sneakers and Alyssa is wearing high heals. They both laugh.)

Alyssa: Wait one sec, Maggie are you wearing sneakers?

Maggie: Uhhhh…. OKAY yes, I’ve been dying to tell you that sneakers are SO much better.

(Everyone gasps. Alyssa starts to give reasons why they are so much better. Then Maggie starts to give reasons why sneakers are so much better.

Alyssa: I can’t believe you like sneakers?!

Maggie (pausing): I’m going to bed

(Everyone else does, too. Maggie wakes up. Everyone is still asleep.)

Maggie: It's six a.m. and I'm wide awake
'Cause I can't stop thinking
About the stuff you'll say
And me and I, I can't let it slide

The paper's not here yet the sun's not up
But I'm not afraid to tell you what I feel inside
I had one of those dreams that make it all so

Clear to me now
I got a whole new perspective
It's so clear to me now
You can't treat me that way

It appears to me
How long you tried to make me think
It was me who was being the fake
So clear

Why did I smile when I hurt inside?
Said I was okay when I knew it's a lie
I wanted to believe in you

You took your chances and one was me
So I'll just forgive you and set you free
I'm on my way
Yeah I'm stepping out of the haze

And it's so clear to me now
I got a whole new perspective
It's so clear to me now
You can't treat me that way

It appears to me
How long you tried to make me think
It was me who was being the fake
So clear

I wanna put the past behind
Try and maybe I can find better days
The first time in a while
Think I even feel a smile on my face

I got a whole new perspective
You can't treat me that way

It's so clear to me now
I got a whole new perspective
It's so clear to me now
You can't treat me that way

It appears to me
How long you tried to make me think
It was me who was being the fake
So clear

Yeah, so clear
So clear, so clear
Ooh

Sun's going down on a Saturday
And I feel all right, I feel okay

(Maggie leaves without anyone knowing. Everyone wakes up wondering where Maggie is.)

Mini (waking Alyssa up): Alyssa? Where is Maggie?

Alyssa: Please don’t even say her name and, besides, she is right here.

(Alyssa puts her hand on the other side of her and feels that she is not there.)

Alyssa: Big deal, she went home. I’m going back to sleep.

Mini: Alyssa!

Alyssa: What? It’s not my fault. Which side are you going to be on Mini?



(Mini stays quiet. The sleepover ends.The scene changes to the school hallway, and Alyssa is telling Max what happened.)

Alyssa: I can’t believe she likes sneakers more than high heels.

Max: Well, um, Alyssa. . . .

Alyssa: And I know I’m going to have you on my side. Because obviously when me and Maggie get in fights your always on my side.

Max: Well, I am actually on -

Alyssa: My side!

Max: Could you just let me finish?!

Alyssa: You don’t have to. I know you’re going to be on my side, right. . . ?

Max: Actually, no.

Alyssa: What do you mean, no?

Max: I’m on Maggie’s side. Bye, Alyssa

(Max walks off stage.)

Alyssa: Did you forget
That I was even alive
Did you forget
Everything we ever had
Did you forget
Did you forget
About me

Did you regret
Ever standing by my side
Did you forget
What we were feeling inside
Now I'm left to forget
About us

But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it

So now I guess
This is where we have to stand
Did you regret
Ever holding my hand
Never again
Please don't forget
Don't forget

We had it all
We were just about to fall
Even more in love
Than we were before
I won't forget
I won't forget
About us

But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it

Somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
At all

And at last
All the pictures have been burned
And all the past
Is just a lesson that we've learned
I won't forget
I won't forget us

But somewhere we went wrong
Our love is like a song
But you won't sing along
You've forgotten
About us

Alyssa: Goodbye Max.

(Alyssa goes off stage. Scene changes to Alyssa’s house.)

Mom: Is something wrong Alyssa?

Alyssa: Oh, nothing.

Mom: Are you sure?

Alyssa: Yeah, I’m sure.

(Scene changes to Maggie’s house. Maggie is on the phone with Mini.)

Mini: So don’t worry, I’m on your side. Also I heard that Max is on your side too.

Maggie: Max? I thought he and Alyssa had been friends since Kindergarten?

Mini: Yeah, they have.

Maggie: He really went on my side then Alyssa’s?

Mini: Yeah. But I heard that Alexa is on Alyssa’s side.

Maggie: Fine, Alexa can be that way.

Mini: Got to go, bye.

Maggie: Bye.

(They hang up on the phone.)

Maggie: Uh, why did this stupid fight have to happen?

(Maggie starts to sing “When it all falls apart.”)

Maggie: Too bad she’ll never forgive me. . . .

(Scene switches to Alyssa’s room.)

Alyssa: High Heals, Sneakers….a fight! What was I thinking?

Alyssa: I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking, every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
but I got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s The Climb

The struggles I’m facing, the chances I’m taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
The pain I’m knowing but these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It’s all about, it’s all about
The climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith

Alyssa: Too bad she’ll never forgive me after what I said. . . .

(The scene changes to the hallway. Alyssa and Maggie both come in. Maggie is walking one direction, Alyssa is walking the other and they pass each other. Everyone gasps. Alyssa comes in with Alexa and Maggie comes in with Max and Mini.)

Maggie: Uhh. . . .

Alyssa: Umm. . . .

Alexa and Mini (at same time to each other): Look what the wind blew in? Look what the cat dragged in?

Maggie and Alyssa (at the same time): It’s OK, I got this!

(Alyssa looks down at Maggie’s feet. She is wearing sneakers. Then Maggie looks down at Alyssa’s feet and sees she is wearing high heels.)

Alyssa: Soooo. . . .

Maggie: Awkward!

(They both laugh a little then look back at each other with a straight face.)

Alyssa: Hey, don’t laugh. I’m mad at you!

Maggie: Well, I’m mad at you!

(There’s a long pause. Then they start laughing.)

Maggie: Nothing can keep us apart.

Alyssa: Not even a pair of high heels and sneakers.

Maggie: Hug?

Alyssa: Hug!

(Everyone says Awww.)

Max: And I have to say something too. I wasn’t really on someone’s side.

Alyssa and Maggie (at the same time to Max): What?!

Alyssa and Maggie (at the same time to each other): What?!

Alyssa and Maggie (at the same time to Max): What?!

Max: I was trying to get you guys to realize how stupid this fight is.

Alyssa and Maggie (at the same time): Ohhh. . . .

Alyssa: Now there’s nothing like topping it off with a song!

Alyssa: You wake up, it's raining and it's Monday
Looks like one of those rough days
Time's up, you're late again, so get out the door
Sometimes you feel like running
Find a whole new life and jump in

Maggie: Let go, get up and hit the dance floor
But when the lights go down it's the ending of the show
And you're feeling like you got nowhere to go
Don't you know

Everyone: You can change your hair and you can change your clothes
You can change your mind, that's just the way it goes
You can say goodbye, you can say hello
But you'll always find your way back home
You can change your style, yeah your can change your jeans
You can learn to fly and you can chase your dreams
You can laugh and cry but everybody knows
You'll always find your way back home

Alyssa: Your best friends, your little hometown
Are waiting up wherever you go now
You know you can always turn around
Cause this world is big and it's crazy

Alexa: And this girl is thinking that maybe
This life is what some people dream about
Cause when I'm feeling down and I am all alone
I've always got a place where I can go
Cause I know

Everyone: You can change your hair and you can change your clothes
You can change your mind, that's just the way it goes
You can say goodbye, you can say hello

CheerGirl (WP)

There have been many people that are good to me, but I think the only person that is mostly good to me is my best friend CherrGirl. She has always been there for me. I think we met when we were about four years old. I think our moms met because my older brother is now 13 and CheerGirl's brother just turned 14. (But he was 13 about a week ago, and my brother is turning 14 in November.) I think my brother and CheerGirl's brother met at school in about 2nd grade, and that’s what got our mom’s talking. CheerGirl is a very bright person. She has a really good personality, she is beautiful, nice to everyone around her, and she has lots of friends because of her great personality. She is very loyal and cares for people and things around her. She cares for her friends a lot. I know she is the perfect best friend for me!

Tinker bell blown away (N)

Article posted May 5, 2009 at 03:14 PM GMT0 • comment (1) • Reads 833

Now, it was just an ordinary day, and it was really windy. There was this dog. Her name was Tinker Bell and was only 8 months old and.

Tinker Bell's leash was securely fastened to a cooler at the back of the trailer. Suddenly at 2.30 pm, a 70mph gust of wind swept through the area, lifting not only all the goods, but also poor Tinker Bell. Her owners watched in disbelief as their beloved black and tan Chihuahua that weighed a mere 5lbs "flew" away, high up in the skies, beyond reach.

I felt so bad! I watched this video, and t didn’t show the dog getting blown away. I can just imagine it getting blown away.

For the next two days they still couldn’t find the dog. Then, finally, the dog came back on Monday.

I was very surprised. I thought she would never come back. This poor dog had flown over three lanes and then LANDED IN THE WOODS! One mile away! The hungry and tired dog was excited to see his owners.

What an amazing story! I thought that was the best story I have ever read!

This is no ordinary hospital (WP)

Have you ever heard of an orangutan hospital? Well, it's true there are hospitals for orangutans. I think it is amazing how those people can actually take care of them because they are really hard to care for. If I were in a hospital caring for them I think it would be really hard work.

Smallest Dog (N)

Article posted April 17, 2009 at 02:40 PM GMT0 • comment (1) • Reads 900

Oh, my gosh! I think it is so amazing how this dog can fit into a teacup and it’s also in the book of world records because it’s the smallest dog in the world! It is only four-inch, 3 oz puppy and can fit in a teacup. I think it is amazing! I really wish I could be that small, but I also think it is hard to be that small because what if one day you decide to go out and take a walk and you get stepped on by other people. That would really hurt. I also think it is amazing how this dog can fit in to a teacup. It is as big as a person’s palm. The people that own this one dog also own three other dogs and they're all the same kind of dogs. They are that dog's siblings. I think it is truly amazing, but I also think it very sad because there other brothers and sisters got sold when they were only six years old. I would really hate it if I had to give away my dog (Daisy). It is also very hard to give away dogs that you really love. I think it’s mean and sad to give away a dog that you really care for and love. This dog is a Chihuahua and it lives in Florida, I think it is the cutest dog ever. I really agree with the people that made this article.

He loves cats (N)

Article posted April 14, 2009 at 05:37 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 838

This man loves animals. He mostly likes tigers. He takes care of this one lion all of the time. He also loves to jump in the river and play with it in the water.

I'd love to do that to because I think it looks very, very fun. I think it is amazing and weird how this guy spends most of the time in his life hugging and kissing cats. I love animals and cats and tigers myself. I think they are adorably cute, and I love to cuddle them because I think they are so cute. But I also think they are dangerous. Well, not that dangerous, only a little dangerous. I also love animals, but I think that it is very, very, very, dangerous that someone would do something like that.

Lyrics by Demi Lovato
Jear it performed by NickJonasLuver by clicking the link at the end.

Did you forget
That I was even alive
Did you forget
Everything we ever had
Did you forget
Did you forget
About me

Did you regret
Ever standing by my side
Did you forget
What we were feeling inside
Now I'm left to forget
About us

But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it

So now I guess
This is where we have to stand
Did you regret
Ever holding my hand
Never again
Please don't forget
Don't forget

We had it all
We were just about to fall
Even more in love
Than we were before
I won't forget
I won't forget
About us

But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it

Somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
At all

And at last
All the pictures have been burned
And all the past
Is just a lesson that we've learned
I won't forget
I won't forget us

But somewhere we went wrong
Our love is like a song
But you won't sing along
You've forgotten
About us

Come to the town of Mamaroneck (A)

Article posted April 3, 2009 at 03:07 PM GMT0 • comment (1) • Reads 1260

Where do you go to eat good food and buy nice clothes?
Well, I go to the town of Mamaroneck! The town of Mamaroneck invites you to come and buy nice cloths and eat great food! It’s fun going into our town.

First of all, I think shopping in the village is fun because
at Toy Box you get to buy candy, and I LOVE CANDY!

Second of all, my town is fun because you get to buy Sal’s Pizza. Sal’s Pizza is delicious because when you put it in your mouth you could feel that nice warm cheese just melting in your mouth. It’s so good!

And most importantly, I like to go to the harbor because you play soccer and go to play in the park. You could play lava tag with your friends.

So if you want to eat good food, buy really nice clothes, and play at the harbor, then come to the town of Mamaroneck!

Lyrics by Miley Cyrus
Performed by NickJonasLuver. (Click link at end to hear.)

I've been in a rut
Back and forth enough
Heart like a wheel
Without you around
So uncomfortable is how it feels

Every time you're near
Trouble disappears
Under the ground
But when you go to far
Silver clouds will start hanging around

And I know why
Tried to run
But I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
And I can't jump the track
Can't let you go

Tied to one
So I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
'Cause I know you'll come around
You'll come around

Skippin down a broken path
How long can I last
Please let me know
Where's the finish line
'Cause I've got to find somewhere to go

I don't want to hear
People interfere
What do they know
What I feel inside
When I'm up all night
Needing you home

I don't know why
Tried to run
But I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
And I can't jump the track
Can't let you go

Tied to one
So I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
'Cause I know you'll come around
You'll come around

'Cause I know you'll come around
You'll come around

I'll keep on runnin'
'til we meet in the middle
I'll put pride aside
And I'll give just a little
There's miles to go
But we both know that
We'll make it

And I know why
Tried to run
But I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
And I can't jump the track
Can't let you go

Tied to one
So I keep on
Coming back
Full circle
'Cause I know you'll come around
You'll come around

I know you'll come around
You'll come around

Yeah I know you'll come around
You'll come around

MY D.A.R.E REPORT (A)

Article posted March 24, 2009 at 03:13 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 1051

D.A.R.E is a very fun and an interesting program to learn. You learn about making good choices, the effects of drugs, and what can happen to you if you smoke or drink alcohol or smoke marijuana. All of those things I just mentioned can slow you down in your body and growth system.

We learned about making good and healthy choices. We thought about alcohol, marijuana, and smoking. We wrote a warning label. We solved tobacco situations. We talked about how hard it is to say “no” to your friends. We learned about peer pressure situations and all of the things that can affect your body.

But what I think was most interesting to learn about was smoking. Smoking can slow your body down. Smoking can make your teeth and lungs brown and make your teeth fall out. It’s a good thing I learned this. I never knew how bad all those things I learned were. I was very shocked when I heard what smoking marijuana and tobacco can do to you. It’s a great thing I learned in D.A.R.E.

I’m so happy I learned D.A.R.E, and I promise I won’t smoke, smoke marijuana, or drink alcohol at all in my young life or older life=http://!

Albert Einstein Resurrected (N)

Article posted March 16, 2009 at 02:54 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 813

Wooooooow=http://! I think it is amazing how they're making a robot of Albert Einstein. He really died in 1955. If you look at it, you’re staring into an eye of a robot. I think this is really scary for me to look at a robot in the eye. It is able to replicate all 48 human facial muscles, thanks to its 32 built-in motors. Its skin, made with a new material called Frubber, is flexible enough to allow for very realistic expressions. He has been programmed to understand common expressions like sadness, anger, happiness, fear and confusion. I think it is very cool how those people could make these robots. Some people that make them are even scared of them Well, I think that it is very cool how people can build these really amazing things=http://! P.S But its also very creepy.

I was in control of the data. My responsibility was I was supposed to receive data from Mission Control and Navigation. Then I was supposed to type the note to either Navigation or Mission Control.

I’d say the most significant information I collected was the one to Navigation. It was about the degrees from Life Support’s station.

I thought the hardest part about my job was when I received messages from other stations. They kept sending it to the wrong person. So I had to print another one, and then send it to the right person.

If I had another chance to fly, I’d make sure I get everything right because last time I kept sending the wrong information to the wrong people. The next time I really hope I get everything correct.

Well, I had a really good time at the Buehler Challenger and Science Center. It was challenging and fun and lots of other kids in our class and in other classes from 5th grade said they really liked it.

Wow, I think that is amazing how small that car is. That’s like sooooooooooooooo small. I think it should be made for kids that is how small it is. If you look at the picture, there is this really big man in there. The car is red and it is only 39 inches and 130cm. A fully grown lady has to bend down to get the real height of the car and she is regular size. I think that it’s pretty CRAZY!

Love story, by Taylor Swift (WP, Audio)

Lyrics by Taylor Swift
Vocals by NickJonasLuver and RockGirl. [Click the "play in browser" link below to hear it.]

We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
and say hello;

Little did I know
That you were Romeo; you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
And I was crying on the staircase,
begging you, 'Please, don't go.'

And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew.
So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said "Stay away from Juliet,"
But you were everything to me; I was begging you, 'Please, don't go,'

And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'

Romeo save me; they're tryin' to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult, but it's real.
Don't be afraid; we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'

Oh.

I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever comin' around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town.

And I said,
"Romeo save me - I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think-"

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
"Marry me, Juliet. you'll never have to be alone.
I love you and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress;
It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'

Oh, oh.

We were both young when I first saw you...

And all of those stuffed animals? That’s so cool. Even her dresser where she keeps all of her clothes is covered with Dalmatian dots. Now, if you look below this picture. You could see another picture of this lady with more Dalmatian dots.

I think this dog is kind of funny looking because its owner is a hair dresser and its owner has these funny looking designs and colors in its hair. The dog's name is Cindy, and she always looks like a camel because the owner is a hair dresser. They live in this town called Yucca Valley. As you see, there is a picture of the dog and all of its colored hair. Look below!



It looks like a peacock!

Tone deaf dog learns sign language (N)

Article posted December 10, 2008 at 03:44 PM GMT0 • comment (3) • Reads 1114

There is this dog that is very deaf. She cannot hear anything so her owner taught her some tricks. He taught her how to say kiss, talk, sit, stay, dance, lie down, and paw.

I feel so bad for the dog because she is tone deaf. That guy that is teaching her how to do sign language is still a good thing, but I still feel bad for the dog. She has to live her whole life learning sign language.

So if you you’d like to see the pictures of the dog learning sign language then go back to mrbrune.org and go to dogonews in the left corner of the page and when it gets to all of the articles then scroll all of the way down to the last article but if it is not there then you could go to the corner of the page and press one of those topics in the corner and click one of them and eventually the picture will come up sometime and if it doesn’t then comment me about the article so well have fun researching!

When I broke my foot (WP)

Article posted November 26, 2008 at 03:39 PM GMT0 • comment (7) • Reads 504

There was this one time when I was at my friend's house. Her name is Kirsten, and I was on her trampoline. I did a back handspring, and I landed on my foot. But when I landed, I landed on this medal part on her trampoline. I didn’t want her to find out what had happened so I just hopped off the trampoline just like nothing ever happened. The next thing I know I got up off of the floor, and I just fell down onto the ground. I didn't know what had happened but all I knew is that I probably BROKE MY FOOT!

OOOOHHHH!

Now I didn’t know what I did to my foot. I was so mad at myself. I knew I should have never, ever did that last back handspring. A day later I went to the hospital on crutches. You know, those things that you walk on when your foot is broken.

Well, anyway, when I went to the hospital I was very nervous. I really did not want to go. When I got there I was very afraid. I was about to. . .nevermind. When I got to the hospital there was this doctor. He just started to talk to me. I was afraid that he was going to say my foot was broken.

Well, he did say that it was broken. I got very nervous. I was about to cry. I was so mad at myself. Then the doctor told me to go to this other doctor. I forgot what kind of doctor it was called but I'll call him a bone doctor.

I went two days later. I thought he was really nice. His name was doctor Unis. He told me I could go back to gymnastics in six weeks.

Well, it is already passed six weeks. So now I'm back to gymnastics! Yeah!

Wish me luck.

Alaska and Africa (A)

Article posted November 20, 2008 at 03:00 PM GMT0 • comment (2) • Reads 1268

There are many places that have been effected by geographical features like climate and water supply. In this essay I will be talking about the geographical features in Alaska and the desert in North Africa.

One way geographical features effects people is because in Alaska you get frostbitten when it’s 50 degrees below zero so people are forced to stay inside. Then people can’t go outside. They can’t do anything because if you step any foot outside then they can get a really bad frost bite. In the desert in Africa it is really hot. Its good for the animals but it is not good for the people. It effects them because they don’t have that much water. They always need to drink water to stay alive.

So you could see that it’s really cold in Alaska and really hot in Africa which can make it hard for people to live there.

Best memory: When me and my brother did a show for my mom and dad for Fathers day and I kept putting my face up to the camera.

All about me (WP)

Article posted November 17, 2008 at 03:50 PM GMT0 • comment (2) • Reads 417

Hi my name is nickjonasluver16 and my wishes are: To be in the Olympics when I'm older, and I really want to get better at my multiplication facts and my division facts.

OK, now I'm going to talk about my life. I have one brother and no sisters, but I really wish I had a sister and a brother. I have a mom and dad. I have four dogs. Three live in Arizona with my cousins, and I have one dog living with me. I used to have a cat named Poo Poo
Cat but it died when I was a tiny baby. Well, getting back to my family now, I have one lizard, one fish, and one snail. I used to have a frog. It was a water frog, but it jumped out of its cage and a few months later we found the dead frog behind my living room couch. It was the nastiest thing I have ever had.

Gotta go! That’s my story! bye!

Incredible stunts! (N)

Article posted October 23, 2008 at 05:42 PM GMT0 • comment (2) • Reads 994


Professional stuntman, David Danger, made this 160ft jump over the wingspan of a large passenger airplane,, for a television show called I" Dare You."

I think that this man is incredible. Doing that must take lots of courage, and he must be very, very, brave. If I did that and I was a professional at that, I'd do it and just let be done with it. And, oh yeah, never ever try this at home because you’ll never no what will happen. So, LET THE FUN BEGIN!

Do I want a dog? I think so! (A)

Article posted October 16, 2008 at 03:18 PM GMT0 • comment (4) • Reads 1368

I think the animals I'd probably see at a pet store would be dogs, cats, frogs, fish, hamsters, mise, ferrets, bunnies, hermit crabs, birds, and lizards. Out of all of those animals I'd probably choose three pets: the dog, cat, and lizard because I love all three of those animals.

I'd probably choose the dog because I already have a dog and they're so fun to play with. My dog Daisy just loves to have fun. I mean, what kind of other dog can play with you in your backyard?! My dog is very, very, talented and that’s why if my parents let me get another dog I'd probably choose another dog. Then all three of us could play tag in my backyard and that would be very fun to play with two dogs.

Dogs are very fun and talented. They always know how to do everything. I mean, sometimes they do things all by themselves. Sometimes you can just sit on the couch and watch TV while your dog is outside in your backyard playing with its toys. If the toy gets stuck on something high, well, that’s no problem if your dog is an expert at climbing. It will be easy for them.

That’s why I want a dog really, really bad.

This Is One Cool-Looking Dude.....Er Turtle (N)

Article posted October 3, 2008 at 03:33 PM GMT0 • comment (2) • Reads 1037



I know this turtle is a weird looking turtle that looks like it's ready to party! And I know everyone is wondering what that green stuff growing on its head is. Well, it’s definitely not hair dye. It's called green algae. It might look icky but it's not because algae is really just grass. You could find these kinds of turtles in Queensland, Australia. In the 1960’s and 1970’s these turtles used to be very popular as pets, and that’s why lots of people had them as pets. But now the numbers have changed and they're one of the most endangered fresh water species in the Australian waters. These turtles lay 100 eggs each year but sometimes bad things happen to the eggs. Other animals eat them. These turtles can swim extremely fast with their small head and big body. These turtles hibernate in the winter just like other animals.

Dog Saves Owner by Calling 911 (N)

Article posted September 23, 2008 at 02:57 PM GMT0 • comment (2) • Reads 1057

There was this man named Joe, and he lived in Scottsdale. One day he had a seizure. (A seizure is like a stroke.) So his 18 month old
German Shepard, Buddy, saved him from a seizure.

What happened was his dog saw that his owner was having a seizure. Noone knows how but the dog is so amazing at saving lives because he rushed over to the phone while Joe was having a seizure. Buddy called 911 and started barking on the phone. The police saw the man's caller id and came rushing over to the house. When they came in the door they were looking around the house until they heard the dog barking in the living room. The police ran into the living room and guess what they saw? They saw the dog standing next to Joe (the man that owns the house) barking. The police could hear the loud barking. They rushed over to Joe and brought him to the hospital. He stayed there for two days.
