The 6Th Graders Are Representing This Year! Independence Middle School Volume II, Issue 1 Wednesday, February 11, 2015 Eagle Eye The 6th graders are representing this year! Congratulations to the 6th Graders for winning the United Way Penny Wars! A total of $321.59 was raised. The sixth graders also won the Spirit Link Competition.

Try some awesome apps that I personally find awesome, and helpful. (Mostly iPhone specified, however some are cross plat- form) Iconical: Have you ever wished that your iPhone was as customizable as an Android? Well, for $1.99 you can do things such as edit all of the icons, and set home screen shortcuts that will take you straight to someone’s Face- book page (I won’t judge you…. Too horribly), or to the upgrade screen of Plants Vs. Zombies. If you want a phone that is truly unique to you, then you can download it off from the appstore today. Dayre: If you don’t have Tumblr and you want something pretty dang close, and in my opinion a lot more pleasing to the eye, then you can pick this up from the appstore for free today. Dayre allows you to take pictures, sound clips, and even videos of your life and upload them to your own personalized blog style page which has its own URL ,so your friends can follow your ex- ploits. Plants Vs. Zombies: How could you make a list of apps without including this game? Plants vs. Zombies is a tower defense game where you have to plant plants to protect your brains from the zombies. You, as the player, have a whole arsenal of greenery at your disposal ranging from peashooters to cherry-bombs! If you would like to get this,you can grab it from the appstore for $0.99. Pandora: Pandora radio is my favorite radio service on mobile devices. Pandora not only gives you music you love, it also helps you find more music that you will like based on the style, tempo, and group you are listening to. The only downside is that you must be connected to the internet to use it. However, that shouldn’t be much trouble considering most phones have 3/4g. You can start finding new music by downloading this for free from the appstore. Independence Middle School P a g e 6 Entertainment KANDI BURRUSS Picture from : http://thatgrapejuice.net/2013/12/kandi-burruss- xscape-deal-tlc/ Kandi Burruss was born on May 17, 1976 in College Park, Georgia. Kandi is an American actress, singer, song writer, record producer, and television personality. She has a lot of songs out and some that I would love to share with you are: “Haven’t Loved Right”, ”Let Them Love”, “Don’t Think I’m Not”, “Stay Prayed”, “Cheating On Me”, “Leave You”, and “Fly Above”. Additionally, she’s been in a TV show that is called “Bravo” and the show she is currently in is called “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” Also noteworthy is her part in the movie, Second Chance Christmas. She is in a relationship with Todd Tucker who is also in “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” They got married on April 4, 2014 and are now living a good life in Atlanta, Georgia. Kandi’s Parents, Titus and Joyce Burruss Jr. have also appeared in their show, “The Real House- wives of Atlanta.” All in all, Kandi Burruss is a good person. by Davanta P a g e 7 E a g l e E y e The Way to Play Video games are something everyone can find some sort of fun in, and so in this article I will recommend 3 of my favorite games to you. 1. World of Warcraft: World of Warcraft has been running since 2004, and is one of the most popular massively multiplayer online (MMO) games in the world and my personal favorite. WoW allows you to choose one of the two opposing factions: Alliance or Horde and make your character out of the eight playable races ranging from Goblins to Elves, even Gnomes! After you choose your race, you are able to choose one of the eleven playable classes available to that race, so you could be a melee fighting warrior, or a spell-casting mage. The point of WoW is to quest through the huge, beautiful world of Azeroth (and a planet in space called Outland), to level up your character, and eventually get to the high level content. But don’t worry, if you don’t feel like doing that, then you can spend your time doing Pokemon style pet battles, or collecting mounts, and with the new expansion Warlords of Draenor, now is a great time to start playing. Platforms: PC, Mac 2. Brütal Legend: So, any game that features Jack Black as the main character totally wins me over instantly. I bought this game because it was a dollar during a Steam sale, and my life has been changed! You play as Eddie Riggs a roadie (voiced by Jack Black) who was sent to the land of heavy metal to help fight off numerous big-bads. You meet many famous artists along your travels such as: Ozzy Osbourne, Lita Ford, Lemmy Kilmister, and Rob Halford. You battle evil with your Flying V guitar, and a battle axe in a world inspired by the album covers of metals past. If this game doesn’t interest you in even the slightest with its witty humor and absurd story-line, then we just can’t ever talk. Platforms: PC, OS X, Linux, X-Box 360, and PS3 3. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: Okay, so by this time in our lives you have seen or heard of the GTA series. There have been many controversies surrounding them, and they have a really amazing story line. GTA: SA in my opinion is the best game in the 16 title series. Here’s the synopsis from the Rockstar Games website: “His mother has been murdered, his family has fallen apart and his childhood friends are all heading towards disaster. On his return to the neighborhood, a couple of corrupt cops frame him for homicide. CJ is forced on a journey that takes him across the entire state of San Andreas, to save his family and to take control of the streets.” This game was the first of many things for the series, holds a Metacritic score of 95, and was Playstation’s game of the year for 2004. I recommend you pick this up for the experience of story mode. It will change you with its humor yet gripping seriousness! Platforms: PC, X-Box, X-Box 360, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, OS X, iOS (mobile versions aren’t as good), Windows phone, Android, and Fire OS. by Kamron P a g e 8 E a g l e E y e What to Watch TV—something everyone can find joy in. Well, I’m going to be recommending 3 of my favorite TV shows. 1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Joss Whedon once said, “ Make it dark, make it grim, but for the love of God tell a joke.” This statement sums up this show perfectly! Buffy the Vampire Slayer takes place in the fictional town of Sunnydale, California and centers on Buffy’s ex- ploits in fighting everything from vampires, to robots. The show also has great character development and an epic progressive story. It knows how to make you laugh and then make you cry. You can stream it from Netflix and Hulu or you can purchase it. 2. Doctor Who: Doctor Who started in 1963 and has been running ever since (excluding the stall period between old DW and the new DW). Doctor Who stars the time-traveling, regenerating Doctor on his escapades through space, time, and sometimes even alternate dimensions! He picks up different companions as the seasons go on, as well as his regener- ations to a different actor and personality.

  • Star Kandi Burruss Is Engaged
    ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Star Kandi Burruss Is Engaged By Nic Baird Kandi Burruss, from Bravo’s Real Housewives of Atlanta is engaged to her costar, line producer Todd Tucker, Burruss’s rep confirmed to People. The reality star couple first met when filming the fourth season of Real Housewives of Atlanta in 2011. Buruss is a Grammy Award winner known for writing TLC’s hit “No Scrubs,” Destiny Child’s “Bills, Bills, Bills” and Pink’s “There You Go.” Her upcoming show, The Kandi Factory, follows her as she searches for the next big pop talent. She also has an 11-year-old daughter, Riley, from a previous relationship. How do you announce your engagement to your children? Cupid’s Advice: There’s a lot of pressure to make sure your relationship doesn’t affect your child. This priority can make sudden changes to your family seem more stressful then they should. Sit down with your child, have the discussion, and simultaneously create a healthier family unit. Here’s how: 1. Treat them with respect:When discussing your new engagement with your children, you have to give their feelings and questions the attention they deserve without dismissing any discussion. Make sure they understand how much you appreciate them as part of your life. Let them know this new arrangement doesn’t change your love for them. This is an addition to the family, not a subtraction. 2. Talk to them with your fiancé: A united front means making decisions as a parenting unit. If you’re getting married, it means that your partner will fill this role to some degree.

    „Who you calling a bitch?“ Svört femínísk hugsun og vægi r&b og hip hop tónlistar innan hennar Gréta Þorkelsdóttir Lokaritgerð til BA-prófs Listaháskóli Íslands Hönnunar- og arkitektúrdeild „Who you calling a bitch?“ Svört femínísk hugsun og vægi r&b og hip hop tónlistar innan hennar Gréta Þorkelsdóttir Lokaverkefni til BA-prófs í grafískri hönnun Leiðbeinandi: Ásta Jóhannsdóttir Grafísk hönnun Hönnunar- og arkitektúrdeild Desember 2015 Ritgerð þessi er 6 eininga lokaverkefni til BA-prófs í grafískri hönnun. Óheimilt að afrita ritgerðina á nokkurn hátt nema með leyfi höfundar. Útdráttur Í þessari ritgerð rannsaka ég mikilvægi þess að skoða femínisma í víðara samhengi en út frá einangruðum stað eins og Íslandi og athuga hlutverk ólíkra femínískra hópa víðsvegar í heiminum. Meginstraums femínismi gerir sjaldnast ráð fyrir öðrum stéttum en hvítu millistéttinni. Dýpri skilningur á forréttindum mismunandi hópa er því nauðsynlegur, sérstaklega í landi þar sem fjölbreytileiki er lítill og minnihlutahópar lítt sýnilegir. Áherslan er á Svarta femíníska hugsun, eftir skilgreiningu fræðikonunnar Patricia Hill Collins, og mikilvægi þess að líta utan fræðasamfélagsins í leit að heimildum og vitneskju um femínisma Svartra kvenna. Í ritgerðinni er fjallað um hvernig femínísk hugmyndafræði birtist í tónlist og textum kvenna í r&b og hip hop. Ég byrja á að fara stutt yfir sögu femínisma Svartra kvenna samhliða kvennahreyfingunni og baráttu Svartra fyrir borgaralegum réttindum á sjöunda og áttunda áratugnum, og hvernig kerfisbundin mismunun samtvinnast og mótar upplifanir Svartra kvenna. Þaðan er farið í að skoða hvernig femínísk hugmyndafræði virðist ætíð vera til staðar í afrísk-amerískri tónlist, allt frá afnámi þrælahaldsins og myndun blús- tónlistarstefnunnar til nútímans.
