Studying For Major Tests: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. January 26th, 2011| Teen Perspective
This week was supposed to be the week for my high school's midterms.  Unfortunately, my school's four-day midterm week was interrupted by two snow days (one major storm and another minor one), but that's another story.  Now, midterms account for 15% of the grade at my school, making them

Baby showers provide parents with many of the essentials for raising a healthy, happy little one. From car seats to cute and cuddly stuffed animals, parents-to-be receive practical and not-so-practical items alike.

by Louise January 19th, 2011| Teen Perspective
If it ever comes up in conversation that I'm a twin, the person I'm talking to often jokingly asks me, "Do you have twin telepathy?" No, I don't have telepathy. Then he or she asks me, "Do you guys get along?" Well, I'd say that my twin sister and

It happened. I don't know how it happened, but it happened. Just last week I was happily the father of two little boys. Now I have one little boy and one Tween.

Gyroscopes

by Louise January 7th, 2011| Product reviews
Looking for a fun toy that's educational too?  I suggest a gyroscope.

Gyroscopes are a common topic in Physics classes. They seem to defy gravity, which is why they are addicting to play with. (Search "gyroscope" on YouTube if you have never seen one in action before.) You can perform

These numbers can be interpreted as every high school senior's increasing desire to obtain a higher education, which is great because isn't that why we have higher institutions of learning in

Happy New Year

by Ronald A. Rowe January 3rd, 2011| Elementary, Helpful Hints
