One of my favorite hobbies is playing online strategy games. Turn based online games are as goes: (One of the games is called "Monarchy") You join up and the give you a name, and a kingdom. The game takes place in a medieval world when kings fight each other for control of land. You have to build castles, farms, and armies. The turns come once every three days. The game is fun because you interact with people all over the world, then you kick their derriere. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

The place that I remember to my one of my favorites Is Key West. Key West is a place like no other that I have Ever visited. It is a small place and has a sort of community feeling to it, but it is full of color and movement. There are people there form every culture. The people there Roller blade, ski, shop, and a thousand other things. Key West Is a real people place. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Gabriel Arias | Book Review My favorite book that I have read so far is The Hunt for Red October It is a book about a Lithuanian Captain in the Soviet Navy named Marco Ramuis. He designed a submarine with a new silent propulsion system called A " Caterpillar Drive". He is the most senior captain in the Soviet Navy and he has trained most of the officers. After the death of his wife, he no longer has any ties to the U.S.S.R and decides that he will defect to the United States of America. He hand -picks a group of officers and on the Red October (the name of the submarine) sets out on a mission to test the capabilities of the new submarine. During the voyage he kills the political officer (the political officer Was the only one who knew of the mission) and tells his crew they are going to Cuba. Prior to the departure of the submarine he sent a letter to the Admiral of the fleet stating his true intention of defecting and handing over the submarine. The Russians send their whole fleet to sink the sub, and the Russians tell the Americans that Ramuis intends to attack the U.S. While Captain Ramuis is in the Atlantic playing cat and mouse With an American submarine commanded by Capt. Mancuso, a writer for the C.I.A named Jack Ryan is being briefed about the concern about the Red October. Jack Ryan is the C.I.A 's main source of information on captain Ramuis. After conducting a meeting with the top security people In the U.S.A he comes up with the notion that Captain Ramuis is defecting. His assignment is simple, if possible, try to get in contact with Ramuis And see what he wants. While Jack is in the Atlantic the Soviets send a Message to the U.S stating that Ramuis intends to attack the United States with nuclear missiles. Now it's a race to get to Ramuis first. The Hunt for Red October is a definite page-turner. This book is a sort of prelude to Red Storm Rising, the next book I plan to read. Long and involved technical novel. You have to be some what aquatinted with Tom Clancy novels or with military technology. Besides that, the story is interesting and the book is a
