Beware of Photo Frames & Photo Key Chains

The link provided will take you to a blog posting concerning digital display photo frames and key chains.  Evidently manufacturers have packaged their items with a holiday bonus - a virus. 

 

Take a moment to read the post and to take defensive action if necessary.

Atomic what??

The following blog contains the instructions for making an atomic bomb.  Could be a bit useful during science fair week.

My Dearest Niece Mia,

I would like to provide you with an introduction to your mother. You see dear Mia, there was a time when her hair was reaaaal short on the left side and reaaaaaaal long and many colors on the right. Oh, and the eye liner...don't worry that it extends past the eye a bit....it was drawn on that way. Stick with me Mia, I've got the goods on Mom.

Love Aunt Cindi


Breaking the Norm

by Laura Carton



Is unique different at WHS? Some people think all Worthington students are clones of each other. Mimi, however, is definitely unique. Her different look makes her more of an individual. "I'm not really making a political statement. I just don't want to be like everyone else, " remarked Mimi, a junior.



Labels don't have much of a definition and the word 'punk' conjures up many different impressions in a person' mind. Mimi, for this reason, does not like to be called 'punk.' "punk classifies people too much," Mimi said. When Mimi was in grade school her sister (ME) used to do her hair. She would put different braids and hair styles together. Mimi would go to school like this. "I really didn't care. I thought it was kind of fun," she recalled.



During the summer of her eighth grade year, Mimi saw a movie that had a great impression on her: Purple Rain (Me again). "I really liked the different make-up and hair styles that I saw in the movie. I guess I started experimenting with that myself."



Although Mimi's style is not the 'norm,' it doesn't mean she is into the "wrong" things; yet Mom and Dad were still a little worried. "when I dyed my hair white, my dad really got upset. He thought that this was more than it was. He was worried about drugs."



Mimi doesn't do drugs, but she does like to have fun...(insert comments about bands playing at alcohol serving establishments...then question how that works for a junior in high school)



...Most of the teachers are pretty cool, but some look at me like I'm nuts and shouldn't be in school." Mimi doesn't have a job right now (she's a junior in high school for goodness sake) She would love to get a job as a fashion designer in New York.
