2) The Room with the Buckets
You are trapped in a room with only four things inside. Those things are:
• A 3 gallon bucket
• A 5 gallon bucket
• A hose with unlimited water
• A drain to pour out extra water
To open the lock on the door, you need to measure out exactly 4 gallons of water. No more, no less. The buckets have no measuring lines, and no markings other then their sizes.
How would you do it?

The newest invention by Apple, the iPhone 4, has taken the world by storm, as the iPhone is the world’s best selling smart phone. Millions of pre-orders have been placed on the phone, and millions have already been sold. There are many Apple stores where lines are out the door and where people have set up camps to wait for the iPhone 4.
But the real question is: what’s so great about the iPhone 4?
It has 2 cameras, one in back and one in the front, for video calling. The iPhone 4 has a crystal clear display, 10 times better than the iPhone 3GS display. It has a redesigned shell and exterior, multitasking, the ability to set a wallpaper for the main screen (called the Springboard) which was originally only available by hacking the phone, the ability to use a password instead of the regular 4-digit passcode, a unified mailbox for all email accounts set into the iPhone, improved Bluetooth and wireless capabilities, redesigned game play experiences, a faster internal hard drive, redesigned internal apps, the ability to make “app folders,” or groups of apps (a folder is already made for you the first time you use the iPhone 4 software), a built-in GPS system, a digital compass, up to 7 hours of talk time on 3G calling, 14 hours with 2G, up to 300 hours of battery, 6 hours of 3G internet, 10 hours of Wi-Fi internet, 10 hours of video playback, 40 hours of audio playback, and over 100 other GUIs, or General User Interfaces.
You may be asking “You can fit that much stuff into an phone?!”
With an iPhone, anything is possible.

It’s that time again, the end of the summer.
Long gone is the packed mess hall and
overflowing amount of the infamous, yet
very tasty, mac and cheese.
Even that will be over, sadly.
Yet still, we must hold on to
our memories as we can still
use them to not forget.
Many times before, we have each
experienced an occurrence to where we
go off on a vast new journey. As usual with an
adventure like this, just remember to
never forget where you came from.

Hey everybody, I’m going to tell you about songs I’ve been hearing constantly over and over again everyday. One is “California Gurls” and yes, that’s how it’s spelled. “Don’t Stop Believin” is another. There’s nothing wrong with it, but every single day don’t you get a little tired of hearing it over and over? I heard “California Gurls” this morning, it was fine to sing it, but just not all the time.

Camp Laurelwood is an area of joy and tears, while campers come and go. I myself can tell the excitement in all of the campers when they come here ready to have some fun. The spirit of this camp is a constant.
The first week of second session will be blazed with fun, new campers settling in and getting used to all the activities and meals. I’m looking for all of the talents that will be displayed at “Laurelwood’s Got Talent”, biking trip for all campers, and just the regular schedule days for all of the bunks. Saturdays will definitely be fun for all, no doubt. I hope the rest of the summer will be most enjoying to all campers and counselors. I’m looking forward to all the activities that we will do at camp, The Memory Maker.
