people know both actors from the sitcom The 70’s Show and other movies, as well. The two have
been working together for a while...ever since Kunis was about 14 and started on That 70s Show
as Jackie Burkhart. She is also known for the voice over Meg Griffin in 1999 on Family Guy.
Kutcher has been in numerous well loved movies and shows. For example: That 70’S Show, Two
and a Half Men and in the newest movie Jobs. Ashton Kutcher, as well, is known as the host for
the popular show Punk’d. These two have known each other for a while and finally started dating
in 2012. Then after a year, Kunis announced she was pregnant
with their first child (whose name they picked out before Kunis
even ended up becoming pregnant). Kutcher says that Father-
hood is the greatest thing on earth.” He seems really excited
about this and that’s great. They’ll both be appearing in some
great movies this upcoming year.

music since he was a child, and is considered among today's
most talented rappers. He grew up in Hollygrove, one of
New Orleans' poorest neighborhoods. Lil Wayne started
rapping at the age of 8. He later met brothers Bryan and Slim
Williams, the founders of Cash Money Records, who were
impressed enough with his skills to give him one of their busi
ness cards. Ambitious, Wayne continued to call them until
they took him under their wing and let him hang around the
label's offices.

Russia Russia will turn its clocks for the last time on
Sunday to permanently adopt winter hours. It
will also increase its time zones from 9 to 11,
from the Pacific to the borders of the European
Union. The last three years Russia had been
experimented with keeping summer time per-
manent, but too many people complained that
mornings were too dark in the winter. At a
news conference in Moscow, representatives of
the Russian Academy of Sciences said that Eu-
rope would now be closer as the difference
between the capital and Greenwich Mean Time
would only be three hours.

came into order because people
would use a tanning bed and get
sunburned and they would sue

CLASSIC CAR OF THE WEEK
All About Aquariums— by Kandice Crawford
Spotted Geckoes
Buy a 10-20 gallon aquarium with a secure lid. Don’t buy sand for the tank sometimes they might eat the sand
and this causes a problem. Make sure you have a heating pad specially designed for reptile tanks. Your Gecko
needs a shallow bowl for drinking and bathing. The water bowl should always be
clean and full ;also you need to keep it on the opposite end of the heat source. Mist your Gecko every other day. You
need a shelter for them but don’t get one from outside. You need a rock cave, log, or something around that area for
the shelter. Clean the entire enclosure once a week , if needed, or when you think you should.

The sound of your heartbeat as
it mixes with mine.
We’ll be together until
the end of our time
Nothing can ever replace you;
I can never find a love so true
The way you effortlessly take my
sanity
only with you I find the true clarity.
--Jane
Some major styling changes took place on
the 1957 Ford Thunderbird from previous
years. Inside, the instrument panel was rede-
signed with clustered dials plus new designs
to the all-vinyl upholstery and trim combina-
tions. Outside, the spare tire went back into
the trunk, which didn't occupy too much
room in the 5 feet by 5-1/2 feet space. 1957
would be the third and final year for the orig-
inal two passenger Thunderbird, and some
feel the third year was the best one yet. Af-
ter ‘57, Ford would do away with the two
seater sporty personal car rated at 300 and
340 hp (254 kW) respectively. 1957 sales
were 21,380, including three extra months of
production because the 1958 models were
late. The 1957 Thunderbird was the last two-
seater Ford sold until the 1982 Ford
EXPsport compact car.
