I have recently seen the Movie Avatar, and it is by far one of the most brilliant movie I have ever seen. Avatar is a 2009 science fiction movie written and directed by the famous James Cameron. Characters Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Rodriguez and Stephen Lang all stared in this awsome film. According to my resources,"The film is set in the year 2154. Na'vi bodies used by several human characters to interact with the natives of Pandora." I loved this film. Words cannot describe the brilliance of the fil. It was all happy and sad at the same time. No one moment of the film was I bored or readey to go. Yes the movie was long but it doesnt matter because of the content of the film. When i was watching Avatar it was like I stepped into a next world. A world full of creatures and spirtuallity. I kind say this enough, I loved this film. I will reccomend this film to anyone. You dont have to be a sci-fi fand to love this film. Its appropiate for all viewrs.

Banneker Scholar Flares After Lost !
An emotional melee ensued at the conclusion of Midwood’s victory over Benjamin Banneker, ending in enraged Warriors guard Kaylah Gholson to be restrained Thursday night.
Following the host and sixth-seeded Hornets' 60-48 win in a PSAL Class AA girls basketball second-round game, the senior chased after and was yelling at the Midwood scoreboard operator in front of the Banneker bench as the teams starting shaking hands.
The incident stemmed from a fourth-quarter dispute over the score between Banneker guard Alexcia Barnes, the scoreboard operator and Gholson’s mother sitting in the stands, sources told The Post. The scoreboard operator told The Post that Gholson then also questioned a perceived 2-point discrepancy in the score, even though it was accurate.

Banneker senior Kaylah Gholson let her emotions get the best of her following a loss to Midwood.
Gholson reacted after the game was also fueled by a comment the scoreboard operator made about her mother, sources said. The player's mother came across the court after the game as her daughter lost her cool. Gholson tried to charge through a crowd of players, coaches and fans after the scoreboard operator, but was eventually grabbed before anything more could occur.
Northeastern-bound Midwood forward Jewel Tunstull was knocked down trying to quell the situation. Gholson was held on the opposite side of the gym, still fuming. After a few chaotic minutes, school safety officers cleared both teams out of the gym separately and then the fans. It appeared no punches were thrown.
“It’s a tough loss,” said Banneker coach Moreno Fernandez, who believed the incident started due to comments from a fan. “They are seniors. Emotions ran high and unfortunately it came down to this. I wish it didn’t.”
The Midwood players said they could see the Warriors' frustration mounting in the fourth quarter. The Hornets, sparked by a Francess Henry 3-pointer, went on an 11-0 run to open up what had been a tight game throughout. Henry said she could see Banneker was “taking things personally” down the stretch. Forward Beranda Felder mentioned plenty of pushing and jersey tugging and the Warriors were called for an intentional foul when Tunstull was pushed along the sidelines with 1:10 left in the game. Banneker lost 51-50 in a regular-season game on Feb. 8 at Midwood.
“When they seen the score was getting too far, they did whatever they could to get in our heads, whether it may be talking and pushing, hoping that we would retaliate, but that’s not what Midwood basketball is about,” Henry said.
The majority of the Midwood players sat on their bench has the ruckus occurred. Felder said the team knew the incident and the in game frustration wasn’t personal since many of the players are friends off the court and was happy that her team was safe and healthy. Hornets coach Artie LaGreca was pleased that it was quickly settled and Fernandez doesn’t see the incident causing a problem in the future with six seniors on his squad.
“We don’t have anything against Midwood,” Fernandez said. “These girls are graduating so I don’t think that is going to carry over into next year.”

Weekend Post (Going Bovien)
I'm currently reading a novel called Going Bovine. The novel is about a sixteen year old boy name Cameron who wats to get through high school. He recieves bad news saying, he is sick and he is going to die. A girl name Dulcie tell him there is a cure. So Cam sets of on a road trip through America on a search for the cure. I think Libba Bray the outhor, has a gift. Even thoughI jus began reading it, I enjoy her vocabulary ideas, and sense of humor. She really brings each and every character to life. She is really descriptive with everything she does. Hopefully, I will continue reading this 480 page book. I promise you I will post blogs gradually as I read this book.
Weekend Post (Stressed Out Teens)
All over American, teens has been suffering with a silently disease that is waiting to be diagnosed. STRESS, has been affecting the lives of many teen individuals since the dawn of time. I believe that students are even more stressed out in the 21 century. The number one reason why teens are stressed out is school. As much how great school is, it really takes a toll on you. I currently attend Benjamin Banneker Academy and, even though its a great school it can be stressful. Teens are also stressed out because of their personal and social life. During these ages all we think about is who has the better girls, or boys, clothes, and houses. How is better in sports, or math. We always have to worry about what society thinks of us. My advice is to not take certain things to seriously. Distance yourself from the people that makes you fell intimidating. DON'T DO DRUGS, but talk to someone to keep yourself sane. We will overcome this disease.
Global Warming and Climate Change
Please be advised, that the world is suffering from Global Warming and Climate change. This is a serious issue and is affecting the world dramatically. Global warming is Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. Many people are not sure how global warming is affecting them. My opinion on global warming is I believe it is a serious issue. The solutions for global warming is going green. Please help stop this issue.
Racism
According to many resources, racism is the belief that characteristics and abilities can be attributed to people simply on the basis of their race and that some racial groups are superior to others. Even though we are in 2010, 60 years from the civil rights movement we are still suffering from racism in America. I strongly disagree with racism. As an African American I have experienced racism first handed. It affects people emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Please, do not contribute to racism.
Weekend Post (The Hati catastrophe )
I feel so sad for the people of Haiti. I understand that nearly 50,000 people are feared dead. I hope all the world's leader come together and think of an effective plan to rebuilt and reconstruct Haiti. I encourage all men and women of the United States population to donate generously to funds that are available to them. We as Americans need to come together and do the best we can do in order to restore peace to Haiti
Weekend Post (Women Has Evolved)
It is the year 2010 and I don"t think society understands how women evolved. Society have never took into consideration that women contributes a lot to life. In the past women had no rights. They could not vote, have high paying jobs or do anything fun. Now in the year 2010 women has the right to vote. They can have high paying jobs, and could do what ever a man can do. I appreciate women and their contributions to society. Rosa Parks allowed the world to see that Jim Crow Laws was unacceptable. Harriet Tubman helped free over 300 slaves. Now, we have Michelle Obama; first lady in the white house. She is an African American. She is given hope to all young and hope African American around the world
Weekend Post (White House party disturbance)
Tareq and Michaele Salahi, aspiring members of the cast of a reality show called "The Real Housewives of DC," crashed Tuesday's state dinner at the White House. Facebook photos of the couple posing with Vice President Joe Biden and Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel indicate that the couple had up-close access to some of Washington's elite, without actually being on the guest list. The couple maintains they were invited and a lawyer speaking for them says they have nothing to worry about.
Weekend Post (How to solve a rubic cube)
Solve each first layer corner + corresponding middle layer edge in one step. This means that after the cross you only have 4 steps (4 corner/edge pairs) to complete the F2L. With this beginner method there are 8 steps: solve each of the 4 first layer corners, then solve each of the 4 middle layer edges. I'd suggest just playing around with your cube and figuring out the F2L corner/edge pairs yourself.

(Weekend Post) My Thoughts On The Changeling
From the moment of delivery in front of a battery of magnesium flash cameras and beaming and over-decorated cops, she suspects that the little Walter returned to her is not the same boy she's known since he was born.
Christine, played by Jolie (who really earned her stripes with last year's underrated A Mighty Heart) with restraint but projecting a mounting rage and despair, had never anticipated that this was the day her life would be forever changed.
