Thanks to all that answered my question so far-> greeneyed, babydol70, and Canadian Ken, but I forgot to mention that we did discuss the possible answers to this puzzle in class we also came up with "WASH SHOWER SOAP" but guess what he said that wasn't correct. For everyone to be coming up with the same exact answer it's impossible for us to be wrong....I think he's just trying to pull our leg and wants us to stress out over this non-sense. For anyone else who wants to try and guess it's W_ _ h Sh_ _ er S_ _ p

This paper is about my Dream vacation and the memories about my family vacations tied up in that. If you can help me, i would really appreciate it. This is all i have written so far. If you have any ideas, comments or add anything to my paper that i have so far please do so.

A vacation means different thing to different people. Some people go on sight seeing adventures seeking out museums, and historical places in Washington DC. Others go places for the entertainment and enjoyment to places like Disneyland. Some people just rush around trying to get everything done and everywhere to see all the things before going home. Laying on a beach, looking onto the ocean at the sound of the waves crashing into one another and the touch of the sand between my feet, THAT’S what I call a vacation!

As I close my eyes, I can envision those family vacations to Myrtle Beach.

Thank you so much. I really need the help. Anyway i am really BAD at writing papers. You can also email me some ideas.

My guidance counselor is a straight up B-I-T-C-H to every1. She'll bark at you over anything-she's not welcoming at all and NO ONE likes her. She's no guidance counselor-no one wants to go to her, becuz no one's sure if they'll come back alive. Every time I'm around her she makes me feel rly stupid. I have 2 go to a meeting with her about college next week, &I don't know what to do. I know she's going 2 make me feel like I have no options &like I've already screwed my chances of getting anywhere because even though my grades are OK, they could be better [i've gone thru a lot these past few yrs]. ANYWAY, even my friend's MOTHER who had another child go to my school has noticed that this woman is only nice to the supersmart kids & everyone else is just "lesser-than-thou" or something. The school's not gonna get rid of her either cuz she's been here 4 like 235 yrs already & besides her abnormal b!tchness she's good w/ the college process thing..
WHAT CAN WE DO? JUST PUT UP WITH HER?

I wrote this today, in about ten or seven minutes, and I'm twelve and in seventh grade.

Look into your heart.
See all the darkness and hate within?
Look into your heart, and
Think, think.

Look into your soul.
See all the wrong you have done?
Look into your soul, and
Think, think.

If the heart nor the soul
Makes us good and sweet,
Nor horrid and evil,
What does?
Think, think.

Our mind!
There is no such thing
As a hard heart, or
An unclean soul.
Look into your mind and
Think, think.

Look into your mind.
See all the horrible things you have done?
They were not from your hard heart,
Nor your unclean soul.
They were from your own decisions.
So next time,
Look into your mind and
Think, think.


Could some people tell me what they really think about this, or give me some constructive critisism, or tips? Thank you!

So many questions get posted that are obviously someone's homework problem. And people just answer the question!

If you know the answer, why are you doing the work for someone else who should? At least explain what you're doing so some learning can come out of it. When I was young, you were a chump to do someone else's work for free. Maybe today people are comfortable with that?

China claims success in test of fusion reactor
Posted 9/28/2006 7:50 AM



By Alexa Olesen, The Associated Press
BEIJING — Scientists on Thursday carried out China's first successful test of an experimental fusion reactor, powered by the process that fuels the sun, a research institute spokeswoman said.
China, the United States and other governments are pursuing fusion research in hopes that it could become a clean, potentially limitless energy source. Fusion produces little radioactive waste, unlike fission, which powers conventional nuclear reactors.

Beijing is eager for advances, both for national prestige and to reduce its soaring consumption of imported oil and dirty coal.

The test by the government's Institute of Plasma Physics was carried out on a Tokamak fusion device in the eastern city of Hefei, said Cheng Yan, a spokeswoman at the institute.

Cheng said the test was considered a success because the reactor produced plasma, a hot cloud of supercharged particles. She wouldn't give other details.

"This represents a step for humankind in the study of nuclear reaction," she said.

U.S. and other scientists have been experimenting with fusion for decades but it has yet to be developed into a viable energy alternative.

"I think it is a considerable step ahead for China," said Karl Heinz Finken, a senior scientist at the Institute for Plasma Physics in Juelich, Germany, who had no role in the Chinese research.

"China is speeding up with the development of nuclear fusion and I think at the moment they are making considerable progress," he said.

The Chinese facility is similar to the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, or ITER, being built by a seven-nation consortium in Cadarache in southern France, according to state media. That reactor is due to be completed in 2015.

China is a partner in the ITER reactor, along with the European Union, the United States, Japan, Russia, India and South Korea.

A Tokamak reactor uses a doughnut-shaped magnetic field to contain the hot gas.

Several countries have produced plasma using a Tokamak or similar device, said Gabriel Marbach, deputy head of fusion research at the ITER facility. He said producing plasma was only one step toward the fusion that ITER aims to perform, and that the project could be helped by the Chinese experiments.

"It was important for China to show that it is part of the club, and that adds value to its participation in ITER," Marbach said.

"That is not to say that it is at the level of the Europeans or Americans," he said. However, he added, "We are rather admiring of the Chinese for conducting this test. It was conducted well, and they constructed (the machine) rather quickly."

China is the world's No. 2 oil consumer and its No. 3 importer, consuming at least 3.5 million barrels of foreign oil per day last year.

China plans to build dozens of nuclear power plants and is trying to promote use of cleaner alternative energy sources such as natural gas, wind power and methanol made from corn.

I've always wanted to do this!!! I'll start the story and whoever answers next will write ONLY ONE paragraph and we'll see how the story turns out! And whoever writes the most interesting one, I'll pick.

I gazed around at the view before me, shaded by the outside world, in the grove I felt safe. The corners of my vision blurred as I was exposed to patches of the burning ball of fire. Thin lines, almost invisible to my occupied mind, flew past in waves flowing in the wind, it took me a while to realized my hair had also gone to the rythmic symphany of this peaceful forest.
