The Atlantic Ocean is dark and calm. There is nothing anywhere but Ice Bergs. It is 11:00 hours and I can’t sleep. My Family lives in New York and they are in danger, but it’s not just them it is everyone that lives there and only the Military can save them. Our Submarine was about to launch a counter attack on the Russians in the New York Harbor. From our info they had some WMD’s or otherwise known as Nuclear Missile’s in the Harbor. The Russian’s were planning to set three WMD’s in New York somewhere but who knows where?

 That’s why we need to launch the counter attack before they plant the WMD’s in New York. Our info says that they might launch around 3:00 hours on May 14, 2015, which is tomorrow. I finally find some sleep around 12:30 hours. I dream of the bombs going on in New York. This is a horrible nightmare. I watch my family blown to bits, or zapped to dust by the atomic fumes that cover the air. How many times will I watch them die?

Right before another bomb hits in my dream I am woken by a loud alarm noise. I’m guessing that we are at the Harbor and we are under attack. I get up from my old rusty bed and walk to my closet and put on my NAVY Seals uniform and walk down the armory. As I open the door I hear people talking about the Russians. As I shut the old metal door everyone quiets down. “You’re late Lutenit. You were supposed to check in at 7:00 hours. Its 8:00 hours and the meetings are now over. It better not happen again Lutenit. “General Grigsby. He is the head General of the Marines and the Navy.

“Sir yes sir!” I say back to him.

“Permission to speak sir?” I ask.

“Permission granted Soldier.” He says as he sits back and listens to me.

“What is the situation with the Russians sir?” I ask.

“Well Lutenit, we need to find out where the WMD’s are going to get planted in New York. Our info was not correct Lutenit, which means that the Russian Bomb Squad is not in the Harbor. We have Alpha and Omega teams searching the Submarines in case they are still somewhere in the Harbor but we are sure that they aren’t in the Harbor. We think they might be in the Empire State Building but we aren’t sure. I sent Kilo team to go take a look in there but their radio and radar signals went off and aren’t responding. We found a signal jammer somewhere in Star Junction but aren’t sure what building it is in. That’s why were sending Seal team in to check it out. Am I clear Lutenit?”

“Sir yes sir!” I say back to him while I salute.

                I grab an M16 Carbine and a Desert Eagle from the Armory wall. I run back to my quarters and grab Radio-even though it won’t do any good until we destroy the Jammer- A watch, and my lucky Revolver I call Sally. I hear General Grigsby go over the Intercom. “Seal team into positions. You will be launching in 10 minutes.” He says.

                I run the launching station and grab an air tank and goggles. I get in position with my Teammates Jon and Stephen. Although no one ever really calls them that. It’s always Rusty and Smoker. We get on our Miny Submarines. I don’t know what the Military calls em’ but I like them a lot. We get out our Sonar trackers and insert them into our Sub.

“Launching I 3…2…1” Says I little voice from my Ear piece.

                Almost instantly we launch from the side of the Giant Submarine. We are swimming toward the top avoiding water mines and exploding vehicles that float in the water. Once we get to the top everything is destroyed and nothing is the same. Helicopters, Tanks, Gunfire. Only one thing can explain what this is. War.

My Science Fair Project was the Bottle Tornado. I had to make a Power Point about it so I decided that I would start by collecting Data and this is what I said: A tornado is a violent windstorm characterized by whirling winds within a funnel-shaped cloud. A tornado’s movements are difficult to see in air but can be imitated – and seen- in water.

Then I formed a Hypothesis and this was it: If I do all four of the different kind of Twist’s, witch one will have more of an effect on the liquid Tornado?

 After that I had to get my materials: 2 plastic bottles, Colored Water, Funnel, Washer, Electrical Tape, and Paper Towels. After I got all my Materials and made up my four kinds of twist’s I had to my procedure:

• 1. Pour colored water into one of the plastic bottles

• 2. Place the second bottle upside-down with its opening over the washer.

• 3. Tape bottles together with Duct Tape

• 4. Gently twist or turn the bottles clock-wise or counter clock-wise. Then observe what happens.

• 5. Have four trials. One for a Gentle Twist, the other one for a Quick Twist, Then one for a Clockwise Twist, Then the last one for a Counter Clockwise Twist.

• 6. repeating the four steps from the last step, observe your model.

Then once you know what to do you have to conduct your experiment:

When I did the Experiment the Quick Twist worked the best out of all four of the four tests. Because the gentle twist didn’t have much of an effect on the Tornado and Both the Clockwise and Counter Clockwise twist worked fairly.

And finally draw your Conclusion: The Quick Twist worked best out of the four test’s. The Gentle twist worked the worst and the Clockwise and Counter Clockwise worked fairly well in the four tests.

I have recently been reading the Hunger Games Series. I am on the third book but I suggest you read the first book though or else it won’t make any sense! The Hunger Games is a very good book. Once you start reading it, it pulls you in more and more until you can’t put it down but then you have to because it’s time for lunch. Here are a few details about what the book is about. Basically there is a Girl named Katniss living in District 12 in the Country of Panem (Panem is the “leftovers” of North America) and 74 years ago there was a District 13 that started a rebellion against the Capitol (Like where the President lives) but the Capitol overpowers them and sends bombs to destroy them and all that is left is ashes. Then after the war the Capitol makes up the Hunger Games (where two tributes from each district fight to the death until one survives) to remind the rest of the District’s that if they start a rebellion again they will destroy them. Katniss’s sister, Prim, is now old enough to get picked but Katniss assures her she won’t get picked to go in the games, but when she gets picked Katniss takes her place  to go in the games and leave everything behind that she knows and loves. I encourage you to read this book because it will keep you reading (until you have to go to lunch) and reading.

When the Dragon King returned home, one of his guards told him he heard a rumor: The villagers in his son Za-ch’s province were afraid of Za-ch. Although Za-ch lives in a town names Gardner, The Dragon King once again donned his disguise and made his way to his son’s home. As he approached, a servant came running from the house while Za-ch kicked at him from the door.

      “Oh, most revered king!” cried the servant.” Za-ch does nothing all day but kick like a Ninja! This does not seem befitting the son of the Dragon King!” Several Villagers nearby nodded. The Kind looked at Za-ch’s angry face and wondered what to do with such a son. He was about to scold him when he realized that with his actions, Za-ch would be suited to be a Ninja, where he could direct his Kicks at the enemy. When he told this to his son, Za-ch kicked the wall and shouted “Hallelujah!” and danced away excitedly.
