TWO MEN KILLED, FOUR ON THE RUN.

TWO MEN KILLED, FOUR ON THE RUN.
BY REBECCA LANG
After two men aged 24 and 25 were gunned down without any warning this weekend near some of Sydney's most exclusive real estate, police are concerned about an outbreak of gang war.
Police are currently searching for four suspects in The Rocks area. They believe that the men had fired at least 20 shots from semi automatic hand guns at close range.
Anti-firearm lobby groups have called for initiatives to halt the spread of illegal hand guns in Sydney while the New South Wales.
Opposition leader John Brogen accused the Government of letting gun crimes spiral out of control. "Bob Carr has run out of excuses" Brogen said."His policing strategies aren't working when criminals think shooting people in highly populated, tourist areas is easy"

Mao's Last Dancer - David Stratton


Mao's Last Dancer (review of a review)




By Rebecca Lang

This review of Mao's Last Dancer by David Stratton is pretty much just a replay of the movie (though it does not go into detail and give away the ending).

For the first four paragraphs of the review, it only really states what actually happens in the movie. Though in the last two paragraphs there are actually David's thoughts of the movie, which to me came across as though he wasn't really paying attention to the story line of the movie opposed to being stubborn and picky with the actors chosen. :( Which I thought was just silly considering that it was an emotional roller coaster from my perspective.

We felt sorry for him, we cried for him and then for a finale we applauded for the sake of him getting his family back. I really like this movie and would recommend it to anyone who loves to laugh, cry, and applaud all in the matter of 2 hours. :)

Miss Sophie Courtney Haber

9-2-10
A hot Tuesday afternoon.
As I sit outside on a bench in Wollongong TAFE smoking a cigarette with my new pal Miss Sophie Haber, who I currently know nothing about, I wonder... who is Sophie? What does she like? What are her political views? These are the questions I seek an answer to.

We got along straight away, Sophie is a very easy person to get along with and talk to. We made small talk about random things like smoking and had a nice conversation with our teacher Peter about how people kill trees and pretty much don't help the environment just to make cigarettes. I ask Sophie the questions I had been itching to find out, and these are the results.

Miss Sophie Courtney Haber is a 16 year old woman, from Austinmer. She is currently a smoker but would like to quit in the near future. Sophie has had 23 piercings in her life but today has she only has 5. A brunette with blonde streaks and brown eyes, she is very intelligent and seems to have her head screwed on pretty well considering her age.

Sophie lives at home with her parents and has her own personal farm - 3 dogs, 3 horses, 4 chickens, 1 rabbit (who thinks its a chicken) and 2 cats.

Sophie is currently doing her HSC through Wollongong TAFE, previously went to Port Kembla Senior College and in the future would like to become a tattoo artist.

Sophie enjoys riding horses, hanging out with friends and boyfriend Danijel, listening to her i-pod and enjoys all genres of music. She also enjoys reading, going to concerts, eating mac & cheese, the colour pink, and rainy days.
Sophie was an enjoyable person to interview and can see us hanging out in the future.
