Analysis: On December 19, 2012 I took a trip with my classmates to the DIA. The first thing I saw when I walked in was the famous statue, The Thinker. As I traveled farther into the Institute I was greated by the warm feeling of happiness. I saw so many different galleries and some of the best were the ancient indian tribe, it had few remaining artifacts of the clothing and fabric they used back in those times. The DIA was a wonderful eye opening experience and I will definetley go back soon.

The Right to Bear Arms
December 13, 2012
Topic: The Second Amendment/Right to Bear arms
A "Long Barreled" Debate
Synopsis:The right to bear arms has been a long time talked about topic that has many different viewpoints. To begin I am going to take a detailed look into the Second Amendment and what it is really about. The right to bear arms comes from the second amendment of the United States constitution. It states a well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. We as Americans have the right to keep and bear arms, meaning within boundaries we can own firearms and as many as we want. Considering this was an amendment it means that this was not an original issue that was put forth in the constitution. The original men in office were not too worried about this issue and didn't think it would be such a big issue in the future. Currently is subject is still in "limbo" meaning it could be changed and guns could not be awarded to anyone. Many people believe that guns should not be open to purchase to the public and many believe we should keep the right to keep and bear arms, I believe we should keep the right, considered things are done illegally anyway and if innocent citizens don't have the right to protect themselves we would be ruled by the criminals who don't follow laws anyway.
Analysis: You can see that it would be a bad idea to take guns away from the public. First off if guns are taken away the people will be afraid and more hatred will arise between the people who actually choose to have guns and those that choose to obey the law and remove them from their possession. If innocent people don’t have protection situations could be switched. For example on March 10 of this year, Miguel Lopez Hernandez, 25, and an armed accomplice entered Kelly Jewelers. The accomplice produced his handgun, ordered the store manager to get on the floor, then tossed a roll of duct tape to Hernandez. The manager, however, was quickly able to retrieve his own handgun. The armed assailant dashed out the door upon seeing the firearm, leaving Hernandez armed only with the roll of duct tape. Hernandez was arrested and is under investigation for aggravated robbery; his accomplice remains at large. (KSL 5 News, Midvale, UT, 3/10/12) First off the criminals were performing and illegal crime anyway, holding someone up and stealing from him, these kind of people play the bigger man card and they don’t care if guns are illegal or not. Now if the citizen would not have had his own firearm he would have needed to defend himself without a powerful weapon and could have been seriously injured or hurt. This is proof that weapons save lives and the death rate would increase if they were taken from the innocent lives of people.

http://www.lamborghini.com/en/models/aventador/lp-700-4/technical-specifications/
The car:
Synopsis: The Oakley Design Lamborghini Aventador LP760-4 Dragon Edition features the Oakley Design upgrades we first saw on their Aventador LP760-2 back in May. This means it has the fixed carbon fibre rear spoiler, redesigned front bumper and rear air vents to aid the cooling of 6.5 V12. It also has the ECU modifications and a titanium exhaust system, that not only helps to produce 760hp, but also reduces the overall weight by 35kg. The ‘Dragon Edition’ also features specially developed HRE Wheels that are half an inch wider at the front and an inch wider at the rear while also saving another 5kg.
Analysis: The Lamborghini aventador LP 700-4 is possible the fastest car ever made, it goes from 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds almost reaching the Bugatti veyron's 2.5 seconds. This car is relatively new for 2012 and it comes in a few special editions. The LP 700-4 pushes out 700 hp, with a top speed of 350 km/h, this monster kills road at 0-100 km/h in 2.9 sec, thats 0-60 mph in the time it takes you to yawn. This verson is the Oakley design LP 760-4, Oakley design has taken the reigns on the designs and the materials that make this car. Additions to the stock model include a Carbon fiber spoiler set at an optimal 15 degrees, a front end spoiler for increased downforce and other Carbon fiber add-ons. Although the speed is a little less than the Bugatti, the curb weight is more than 300 kilograms less. This car is all in all a first class sports car, and has made its mark on the history of motor vehicles.
