Whether he is sitting in his celebrity chair or on a piece of paper, everyone know’s the cool cat with the name Garfield!

Thanks to Jim Davis’s funny imagination Garfield has became a kitty with fame! Not to mention, the producer’s of Garfield The Movie and Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties also help boost him to become that cat we all know and love!

So remember, garfield is more then just a cat, okay?

Blue = Chocolate Ice Cream

Red = Vanilla Ice Cream

Google has an interesting new site called Google Trends. It allows you to review search patterns from the Google search database. In the above example, I asked Google Trends to compare searches for Chocolate v. Vanilla Ice Cream (I like Vanilla.) The site also provides information on the countries where most of the searches come from and the language most often used. Try it out. You can compare anything; Yankee’s and Red Sox, Math and Science, Dogs and Cats etc. Share some of your findings in the comments section.

Everyone has their favorite car manufacturers but my favorites are BMW and Mercedes-Benz. I have always hade a thing for luxury cars and speed. These two cars give it both. My alltime favorite cars from both Mercedes and BMW are the two flagship (if the company had a flag that car would go on it) cars. The flagship car for Mercedes is the S-600. The flagship car for BMW is the 760Li. Both of these cars are fast and offer luxury. The Mercedes “STAR” stand for “land, air, and sea” because those are the engines they make. BMW stands For “Bavarian Motor Works”

A Moment With McMeow…

McMeow, Is my old kitty, Molly McMeow. She is very old, older then most of us. Molly is 15 years old and is Calico. I decided to make an Interview with my ever so “exciting” friend. Enjoy.

Q: Molly, What do you like to do in your spare time?

A: *Meow* Well Sara, my basic life, is eating, sleeping, drinking and an accasional walk around the yard.

Q: What’s it like being the oldest cat in the house?

A: Powerful, but not so powerful. I can be the loveable grandma in the house that we all love, but I get taken advantage of, I mean, Can’t everybody run faster than their grandma? Lets just say, It’s hard to get disciplined by me.(No Offence) *Meow*

Q: Do calico cats really have more fun?

A: Of Course. Definetly!

Q: Molly, Do think your smarter then us from being so old?

A: What do you think. Lets just leave It at that, hun.

Q: Have you ever wanted to be younger again?

A: Yes, Very much. I’d like to be able to play again, and get wild and have fun. Instead of sleeping all day! *Meow*

Q: Do you have any friends here at Sara’s house?

A: Sorta, Most of the cats here are younger so they arent interested in doing “old kitty” stuff with me, but I manage to have fun with them sometimes.

Thats about it, Thank you for your participation.

A Note From Molly: Hello Friends. My name is Molly. I hope you have a great day, and no, this was not really me answering these questions, It was my agent, okay!

Club Penguin

Club Penguin is an interactive world on the internet, where you can Waddle around and meet new friends. You have to sign up though, but It’s okay to do thats because no personal information is asked. Also, If you become a paying member you can even buy clothes for your penguin and buy furniture for your igloo, thats what I did, but my Club Membership will expire soon. Ohh…There are smiley icons you can use in Club Penguin too. There are two versions, one which allows you to type your own messages and another that lets you choose from messages that are already premade. Also, It is very safe, you can set a penguin player to Ignore so you cant hear what they say, and you can even Report them to the managers of Club Penguin and they can delete them so they cant return, But make sure to ask your parents If you can play, either way. If anybody tries it and has a question you can ask me at school, If you want. I hope some of you try it, below is a picture I took of Club Penguin. It features my pretty princess penguin in my igloo, just chilling, hanging out, ya know. Also, If you are wondering why it says FallenAngel under me, thats because, I made my username.Bye!

To go to club Penguin go here.

P.S. If you cant see what I made my penguin say, It reads the following, “Hey. My fellow peers! See ya at school!”

Last Wednesday Mr.Hetherington, me, Emily M., Sam M.,an Sara H took a trip to the state legislative office building for the CECA Tech Expo, a technology convention. While we were there we talked to many people about our grade’s very own website and the Room 613 podcast. Some of the other demonstrations at this fair were students with family trees, and some students even had their own handhelds. Our school was one of about 30 schools. We had our own table and our website set up on Mr.Hetheringtons laptop. We also had our third podcast playing. Many people had questions about these two things that our school experences and some people didn’t even know what these things were. My favorite part of the trip was getting to meet new people and telling them about our podcast and our website. Now you may think that Mr Hetherington did all the talking right? Well he didnt, while we were talking about our school Mr Hetherington was off looking at some of the other schools presentations. Well, that’s what we did on Wednesday on our field trip to the L.O.B

How To Make A Pixel Guide

1) To start of you open MS Paint which most computers come with already downloaded in.

2) Take the Magnify glass in paint and on the Left Side Tool Bar a size thing manager will be there. Click Size 8, that way you pixel will end up being easier to see.

3)Next you make the outline of your Pixel. Using the Pencil, with any color you like, start outlining what will become the pixel like the following picture is.

P.S. Try not to get different pencil colors like mine did for the outline. I didnt mean to do that but It lost format when I saved it.

3)Next will be shading. Start with base colors. Then you can go in and add lighter and darker shades to get more of an effect. You can Darken the edges by going a shade darker by going to the top of paint-clicking color-next click Edit Colors-then Define Cutom Colors-then choose the color you want and click Okay. And you’ll have the color you picked. You can also add another outline thats lighter too, and just mess around with it and eventually It’ll look nice. Also, You can add a little white dot on top of the Cherry to add a little extra kick and you can add pink cheeks!

On one night as I’ve been told Mr.Hetherington’s laptop made funny sounds and he didn’t know what to do. Also he was at a meeting and he was about to do a little presentation with his laptop as so I’ve been told. So now Mr.Hetherington said,” ooo no now i’m so dead I can’t do my presentation”. After he said he turn off his computer and as he turned it back on it didn’t turn back on. [He finally borrowed one from Mr. C. to finish his presentation.]
Now he dosen’t have his computer and he dosen’t know what to do so he [had to buy a new one.!!!!!!!!!!!!]

The new Computer:

The penguin and camel animation!

Well as almost everyone knows that I used to live in Florida but I just want to give you a feeling of what it was like to live there. From age 1-5 I lived in Florida and unlike most people I remember alot of what happened to me in my early age. In fact I still remember going to Disney like 1,000 times and still remember it inside and out. It was tons of fun. We could literally go to Disney every day if we wanted to but that would be alot of gas money! We also lived fairly close to the beach but never really went there alot.

Catnip to the extreme…

Have you ever wondered what is Catnip? It’s actually just dried leaves from a plant, and cats love catnip because It helps them digest there food, and because from what I think, they are just born naturally, loving the scent and taste of it. Also, Sometimes catnip is called Catmint because It is a mint plant. Another fact about catnip is that not only do housecats like catnip, but the mighty mountain lions do too! I hope I informed you a little about Catnip.

Below are two pictures, one of catnip foliage, and the other of a catnip flower.

To get an A+ in a Social Studies grade and all your other classes all you have to do is Study and ask questions when you dont understand something. “If you can believe, you can achieve”, Remember that It comes in handy when your looking down at your test in a class sighing and moaning. So always take the Capybara jump to success!

Everyone knows the story where the Rabbit and the Turtle racing and the Rabbit figured he could go so much faster then the turtle so he wasted time, but suprisingly the Turtle won! Now the turtle decided that he’d like to show that rabbit that now Turtles can go just as fast as he can maybe even Faster! The picture shows how the turtle now goes faster then a rabbit, when pushed. The turtle knew that he could do it, so now you believe that you can do It!

This is just a mini introduction to Mr.Bell. Anyways your probably wondering who Mr.Bell is, right ? I’ll tell you, Mr.Bell is a bell that lives in our Social Studies room in 6th grade in our school. Sometimes Mr.H our teacher asks a question to someone directly or to the whole class, and these questions are really hard most of the time for me at least. If you know the answer and tell Mr.H then you get to ring Mr.Bell whatever number of times Mr.H thinks that question you answered was worth. Sometimes for the SUPER-HARD questions its worth like 100+ bells ! Just for a interesting closing fact, Did you know that Mr.Bell even went to China. If you live in China you might have seen him there. I suppose this has gone over a Mini Mr.Bell Summary but Mr.Bell is a very best bell ever so he deserves it, I’m sure you will read lots more of these because we all love Mr.Bell. Go Mr.Bell ! This is SaraH signing out, Peace !

The easy button is small yet very bugging. Whenever I walk around Mr. H’s room all I hear is “That was easy”, “That was easy”, “THAT WAS EASY.” Anyway like I said it is small. It comes from a family of Easy buttons and their names are, Papa Easy, Momma Easy, and Mr.Easy(our easy button). But there is a problem! About a year ago Staples stole Mr. Easy and cloned him about 40 million times! Now in every Staples there are Easy buttons everywhere! Poor Mr. Easy is now a marketing item and is now Staples motto “That was easy!”And somewhere he is stuck somewhere in a box at a Staples somewhere in the world. Who knows, maybe we have the real Mr. Easy!
