Oill Spill in Gulf

Many animals and plants were hurt and still are getting hurt and affected because of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. It is a spill like no other, taking place a mile or so deep under water, in layers of more shallow water and also on the surface. It is said that there more than 50,000 gallons of oil being spilled into the Gulf of Mexico. Scientitsts are worried about how far it will spread and go. Many people are doing whatever they can to stop this spill before it hurts any more animals and plants around the ocean. Thursday crews had sprayed 798,000 gallons of chemicals to dissolve the oil at the surface and injected another 346,000 gallons under water to break it up near the seafloor. In 142 controlled fires, crews also burned an estimated 3.62 million gallons of oil on open water. About one-third of the Gulf is only left good enough to fish. If the oil spill continues that one third will also be closed down.

Five restaurants that I would visit.

5 Restaurants I Would Visit

5 restaurants that I would visit if I had the time and unlimited funds are:

1. Aji Sushi, a japanese restaurant that I heard serves one of the best Japenese foods in the city. It was rated a 4 out of 5 and serves one of the best sushi's in the city. The dish I would buy from this particular restaurant is Oshizushi. Oshizushi is pressed sushi, in which the fish is pressed onto the sushi rice in a wooden box. http://www.menupages.com/restaurants/aji-sushi/

2. CinaMoon Restaurant, a polish restaurant located in Manhattan Avenue. It is a Polish restaurant that was rated 5 out of 5 in retsuarant reviews. It has the best polish food according to people who have been there. It also has very good prices. It gives you the food you paid for and more.

Atlantic Catering, a 5 star American restaurant that serves the best traditional American food according to critics. The dish I would try from there is the smoked salmon with sliced tomatoes and red onion.

It is everything they paid for. http://www.menupages.com/restaurants/atlantic-catering/menu

Olive Garden Restaurant Review

I've been to many restaraunts that have given me food worth my money, and they also had good customer service and lines were fast moving in a nice pace. olive Garden was not one of them. Although Olive Garden is known all over NYC, and is known as one of the best italian restaurants in NYC, it is not. In my opinion Olive Garden has long, long lines that m,ove very very slow. Although the menu has good food listed on it, its not served properly. When i went with family and friends, I ordered Chicken Parmagian and wasn't what i expected at all, it was worse. Along with that, the service took way to long. I ordered my food with my family hours before i actually got the food on my table in front of me. According to me in my opinion, i wuold give Olive Garden a 3 out of 5 in restaurant ratings. But who knows maybe it was just one of there bad days.

Miss America 2010

Judges have finally selected a new woman to be Miss America. As it turns out Rima Fakih is Miss America 2010. Whats even more interesting is the new Miss America is a of the Islamic religion. Her parents were born to a muslim family and so was she. Although they are muslim they celebrate both the Islam and Chrisitian holidays. Although Rima Fakih was voted Miss America 2010, there were controversies on whether she should be Miss America because a recent video of her pole dancing was leaked. Another thing is since she was elected Miss America as a muslim, there will be many problems and controversies amongst the muslim community. There will be many arguments o n whethere this is right or not, and well, the muslim community will definitely consider this wrong. They will also say how this will give Islam a very bad image worldwide. All we can do now is wait and see what will happen, because time can tell everything.

N.Y. can live with fewer teachers Editorial

Dear Editor,

I am referring to your opinion posted on the Daily News editorial section where you said NY can live with fewer teachers. I disagree with your statement about having less teachers and more students per class. The reason why I disagree is because a lot of the schools in NY are already crowded with around 30-35 students per class when there's really suppose to be 20-25 students per class. If NY has less teachers this then means that in some schools the students per class can rise to 40 or more students. In a crowded class like those what can we posibbly learn? It would be to distracting, noisy many other problems. Another thing is many teachers have only one job, which is to teach. If teachers get laid off then they won't be able to support there families or kids. Instead of laying of teachers, why not lay off the teachers that don't teach at all and  just sit around all day, then hire teachers that actually teach and want kids to pass. Because many teachers in NY come to school to teach because they have to and not want to. There are many people out there that want to be teachers, not because they need a job to support themselves.

The Calm, Cool and Collected President Editorial

Dear Editor of the New York Times ,

I am referring to your opinion that you posted on the editorial section of the New York Times about President Obama being calm, collected and cool. I agree with you when you say President Obama is one President who can keep his cool in times like this. Usually you would expect a President to become rude and cranky when hes in stress because of all the problems going on around the world that he has to handle. I mean when your soldiers are in war dying daily and suffering, or when our country is going bankrupt or something worse you expect a President to probably just give up because it's to much to handle. But President Obama he has everything under control and stays calm with a postivie attitude that says "Things will start to get better". He always has a smile on his face which gives a great deal of relief to everyone and he always has a serious face when hes talking about something very serious. He thinks about the citizens and the people all around the world, not just himself. It seems as if we just got the President that we had been wating for for ages.

A homeless, illegal hero left to die editorial.

Dear editor of the New York Post,

I am referring to you opinion posted on the editorial section of the New York post on the homeless man that was left to die after saving a women from a robber. I completely agree with you when you say there are very few people left with humanity in this world. If 20 people passing a women being robbed and don't help and leave a homeless man to stop the robbery then pass by him dying in the streets is called humanity then this world is worse then we thought. What I'm trying to say is, okay you let a homeless man save the woman, but at least try to help him when he's dying , i mean he's a homeless man with no family and no where to go. Many people just left him to die because he's homeless and has no importance in the economy. Well, for all of you that think that, consider your self with no heart. Even a homeless person matters, even if they have no where to go or no one to go to. All humans are equal and deserve to be treated equally with the same amount of respect, disrespect, friendship and love. Not to many people think this way because if they did then this world would have been a place with no violence and crimes. Sadly, this world has a very long way to go before we can achieve something like this.
