An Open Letter to Harrison Simon

Dearest Harrison,It has come to our attention that you have ordered all classes in the Daily Double room to not change the computer screen backgrounds. We dont really agree with this notion. Changing the background to some obscure nerdy pop culture reference is a time-honored tradition here at CRCAP. It is a way of expressing our creativity and individuality. Isnt that what camp is all about? Restricting our creativity is restricting our freedom as well. We would greatly appreciate it if you would rescind the ban.To contact us with your response, dial: 555-687-1334

Yours truly,Christine Sneep Snorp Foster & Nina Pepe Kahn

Harrisons Response

Dear Christine and Nina, Thank you for your appeal for changing the computer backgrounds and appearance. This is something I truly put a lot of thought into and weighed the decision heavily. I will be keeping the computers in their current state, however Id like to answer your points. 1. Changing the computer backgrounds as you say may be a tradition, but it is hardly time honored. Can you imagine that not only less than 10 years ago almost every daily double article was written in pencil and then typed by a counselor. Certainly that tradition has come and gone. 2. Changing the background on a personal computer shows off your individuality and creativity but the Daily Double computers are not personal computers. They are shared tools. Because they are shared, they must remain as utilitarian as possible. A 10 foot hammer is no proper tool for a 5 foot carpenter, just as one meme or character might fit for a 15 year old but not be appropriate for a 10 year old. 3. While you may consider this a limit on creative expression, consider this: being limited is a true test of creative expression. If you are limited in some wayusing only one color, using only one shape, using only one brushyou are forced to think of a creative solution. Again I thank you for your appeal. Happy writing!

Why Dogs are Great!By Abby Wilson

There is more to a dog than drooly kisses, long walks, and paw prints. They are loving aborable pets that show lots of affection. They come in many different colors such as brown, black, white, and cream, with all kinds of patterns. There are so many I like: labs, yorkshire terriers, pugs, and st. bernards. Dogs also come in many different shapes and sizes. Thats why so many different people like dogs. Another reason why so many people like dogs is because if you are really sad, just snuggle your dog or look into the eyes of your puppy - it will make you happy, trust me! (if you like dogs). And also just that feeling when you take home that lonely scared little puppy and give it a home is just so amazing!

RoxanneIf she dies6. ChristineIf she dies7. EleanorIf she dies8. MaiaIf she dies9. FrancescaIf she dies10. NoraIf she dies11. RachelIf she dies12. MyaIf she dies13. AvaIf she dies14.

If she dies then the boys fight it out amongst themselves.

Editors Note:Gabbie is actually president of the hierarchy and all those below bow down to her.

Period 1: PuppetsPeriod 3: PhotojournalismPeriod 5: Fantasy Table Top GamesPeriod 6: Electronic Art

Daily DanteBy Joshua Rosenberg

Okay, first off, it is not really daily. BUT I am going to write about the evil things Dante does. Today for a festival offering, he went about with a group of campers firing counselors and CITs. Me and a group of my friends tried to arrest him, but then he escaped. Until next time...

Ask For Ethics, Issue 1By Livvy Segall

This is my first Ask For Ethics, where I tell you whats the right thing to do in certain situations. And remember-- These will not work 100% of the time. Just saying.

Q: Is it wrong to take over the world using an army of dogs?A: No, if you have a license to take over the world. Im pretty sure you do, but its worth checking. Anyway, the best way to do it is to use the dogs to find an army, which will take over the world. And if you do take over the world, leave me with an empty island.

Wait. This is the real world. Lets get back to some questions that would actually happen (not that I wouldnt want an island).

Q: My friend has really bad breath. How should I tell her? A. You know her better than I do. If she doesnt mind constructive criticism, you can tell her outright. If you do decide to tell her, tell her without getting mad and not in public and/or loudly. If you think shell react or get upset, you can tell her subtly and very calmly. If she gets upset and doesnt fix it, its no reason to stop being friends. Shes still the same person, bad breath or not.

Q: How do I convince my parents to redo my room?A: Redoing a room is very expensive, so I know what your parents are thinking when they said no. Here are some ways that you can tell them that you really want it. For one thing, you can offer your own money to redo the room. Maybe you can pay for the paint, the wallpaper, the new poster you wanted. You can also make a plan that you want, so it seems more realistic to your parents. The easiest way to do it, though, is to ask to redo your room for your birthday or the holidays.

Q: My older sisters bugging me. How can I tell her to stop?A: Siblings always find a way to annoy. If you can tell her that shes annoying you, shell probably annoy you more. If you take it one step at a time, you can get her to stop. For example, if shes taking your stuff without asking, you can tell her not to take your stuff, instead of just telling her shes bugging you.

Q: I hate One Direction. My friends like them. What should I do? A: You can have differences and still be friends. Something I recommend is not to mention One Direction in conversation with friends who like them, or you can just embrace that people have different tastes in music. (I dont like them either. Dont quote me. Unless I say something cool.)

Q: Peanuts.A. It is not, in fact, ethical to bring peanuts into CRCAP. But are peanuts ethical in general? Even if people have allergies, can other people eat them freely? Thats my question to you. Put your answers in the Ask For Ethics box!

Q: SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAMA: Do not give a vegetarian spam. Also, do not give anyone else spam. Spam is disgusting. Oh, you mean the other type of spam

Thanks for reading! Please submit questions to my Ask For Ethics box near the Activity Center!

The Right Dog for YouBy Sarah Bo

Hi, I got a note but it wasnt there when I last looked, but I am going to give advice anyway. And Im sorry I could not include your name.

Whoever asked a question was looking to find the right dog for them and I did some research and found some dogs I thought might work!

#1: Curly-Coated Retriever* Medium size* Not much maintenance * Needs to be played with* Ok with new england weather* Not a super guard dog* Fairly trainable* 20-30 minutes of exercise

#2: Gordon Setter* Small size* Not much maintenance * Needs to be played with* Ok with new england weather* Not a super guard dog* Fairly trainable* 20-30 minutes of exercise * The only difference is that one is small and one is medium size! XD

* Also I think you said something about dog eyes and huskies can have beautiful blue eyes!

Thanks for writing and keep submitting everyone!

Ask Harry PotterBy: Rachel Alpert-WisniaHello! Ive decided to make an advice column to write during my free time at Hogwarts, Aka CRCAP! Please leave me questions in the pouch labeled Ask Harry Potter. Ill answer questions about anything! Relationship advice, friend advice, family advice, sporty advice, school advice, ANYTHING! This advice column will be action-packed (not as much as the Deathly Hollows movie) and filled with very helpful advice! Ive asked around Hogwarts for questions for my column. I recieved three questions.

My first question was:Why is Dumbledore so biased towards Gryffindor?-Anonymous

My answer: I guess he may be bias because he loves me. I mean, it is true. Since Im in Gryffindor, and Im a legend, he may want me to have the best time ever. Which I am. Anyways, lets move on to the next question.

My second question was: If you werent in Gryffindor, what house would you be in? - A Ravenclaw

My answer: Believe it or not, Ive put a lot of thought into this. I would certainly be a Ravenclaw, since I am pretty quirky and I am a good student. But I dont quite fit in that house. After all, I didnt get put into the best house for nothing.

My last question was: What is Harry Potters last name? -Harry Potter Pro

My answer: I dont know. Maybe Benson? Its Potter, you dummy.Well thats it for today! See you next time on Ask Harry Potter!

2: Will you being friends with an dog destroy the space-time continuim?Well, while I may not like dogs, being friends with one wont collapse all of space and time itself. If you want more details, ask the guy in the blue box.

3: Can you explain Shrodingers cat paradox in detail? -Will GraysonOf course! So long as you can provide someone who can explain the human point of view.

Well thats all the questions I got! Keep them coming!

A Few Awesome Art Supplies I LikeBy Nina Kahn

Like many of you reading this, I enjoy drawing. A lot. Im not the best at it, but its one of my favorite things to do. Since some of yall might be looking for some inexpensive, yet high-quality art supplies, heres a list of some of my personal favorites!

Canson XL Mixed Media Sketchbooks: These are the Holy Grails of sketchbooks. Theyre mixed media, so they can hold just about anything; markers, watercolor, you name it, it can withstand it. I reccommend: 9x12 for larger sketches and 7x10 for smaller ones Price: Can vary from $5-16

Faber-Castell Artist Pens: Absolutley perfect for inking, and they come in an insane variety of colors like gold, blue, magenta, cream, and green, as well as a bunch of nibs. These can smudge if you dont give them enough time to dry, but that aside, theyre fantastic. I recommend: M edium nib and Fine nib for inking Price: Around $3

Faber-Castell Graphite Drawing Pencils: To be honest, these arent exactly a necessity, but theyre great if you want to branch out beyond using normal Ticonderogas or mechanical pencils. They come in a whole lot of graphite types, each one supllying a different smudge, darkness, and feel. I recommend: 3H For perfect light lines and HB for darker ones. You could always go for 4B and up for really dark lines, too. Price: $2-3

Tombow Dual Brush Pens: Copic Markers for the common people. A million different colors to choose from, a brush AND bullet nib, and easy blending. I dont have many of these, but what I do have I love! They can feather your paper if you use too much ink, so dont do that. I recommend: Shade 991 for a nice ochre, 969 for a warm brown color, and 772, a lovely light pink. Price: Around $2

Uni-Ball Signo White Gel Pen: Ideal for highlighting and fixing up little mistakes on the paper! Price: Can vary, mine was about $5 on JetPens.com, which you should check out! They have a massive selection of art supplies and for reasonable prices!

Thats it for now! Happy drawing!

Awkward Adviceby Ryan Kane

Hi peoples! Guess what, Im making an advice column (because there isnt a single one on campus yet). Its called Awkward Advice because the questions being asked should have completely nothing to do with anything, and also the answer wont make sense at all. Its not some sort of serious thing where I answer life changing questions and stuff, just something to do when your bored and spam the answer section with unintelligible things, or just draw a snowman and wait for an answer. Here are some random questions answered from people in the Daily Double room.

Q: Can I sniff your left sock? -Sock-SnifferA: Potato

Q: Um my cat ate my backpack. Again :(. Oh, and my phone is dead. -sadA: Blame it on Walker

So thats the kind of stuff you would be seeing if you read Awkward Advice. So come on over and get awkward (Thats my genius slogan).

Doctor Who Imagine Part 1By Rachel Alpert-Wisnia

Imagine you are Amy Pond, as a young girl. You are sitting on your knees, talking to santa. Dear Santa, Thank you for the dolls and pencils and the fish. Its Easter now, so I hope I didnt wake you. But honest, it is an emergency. Theres a crack in my wall. Aunt Sharon says its just an ordinary crack but I know its not. Because at night theres voices. So please, please could you send someone to fix it. Or a policeman... or All of a sudden you hear a whurring noise outside. Back in a moment, you say. You look out the window and see a police box. Thank you Santa. You walk over to the box. The police box is on a tilt and a grappling hook flies out of the box. A man crawls out. Hes in a raggedy outfit. Raggedy man, you mutter under your breath. You giggle. He gasps and begins to talk. Can I have an apple? All I can think about. Apples. I love apples. Maybe Im having a craving. Thats new. Never had cravings before. Woah! Look at that.

Are you okay? You ask the strange man.Just had a fall. All of the way down there right to the library.

Heck of a climb back up. He replies. He rubs his head as he slowly hunches over. Water drips from his shirt and pants.

Youre soaking wet, you tell him.I was in the swimming pool, he replies. What? He was in the

police box, you think.You said you were in the library! You exclaim. So was the swimming pool, the strange man says. When I

talked to santa, I asked for a policeman, you think.Are you a policeman? you ask him.Why? Did you call a policeman? Yeah, I did. For the crack in

my wall, you think.Are you here for the crack in my wall? you ask him.He begins to ask, What cra- He falls onto the ground and

shouts. Are you all right, mister? You ask him.No, Im fine. Its okay. This is all perfectly norm. He replies.

You watch in horror as a golden light drifts from his mouth,Who are you? You stutter.I dont know yet. Im still cooking. Does it scare you? He

asks.No, it just looks a bit weird. You reply, hoping hes not some

kind of murderer.No, no, no. The crack in your wall. Does it scare you? He

says.Well of course. Why else would I have called you? You think.Yes. You respond.Well then, no time to lose. Im the Doctor. Do everything I

tell you, dont ask stupid questions, and dont wander off. The Doctor says, walking into a tree. You giggle.

Are you all right? I ask him. Early days. Steerings a bit off. He assures.

Best Annoying Things To Do With A Robot Voice! By Doodlehead Bananafritz

1) IN AN AIRPORT: Be the sign reader robot. Every time you see a sign, read it out loud in a robot voice. Watch the other people in the airports reactions. See how long it takes for them to start talking to their companions about how annoying you are!

2) ANYWHERE: Commentate everything you do. For example, when walking forwards, say Walking forwards. When turning around, say Turning around. I would go on, but it would get really annoying.

3) WHENEVER YOUR MOM IS NOT FEELING ANNOYED: Follow your mom around and repeat everything she says in a robot voice. If you want to, you can use a timer to see how long it takes for her to start yelling at you!

4) WHEN YOU WANT YOUR SIBLINGS TO STOP DOING SOMETHING: Using a robot voice, scream in their face STOP! Apparently, according to another Daily Double reporter, this works!

5) ANYWHERE (AGAIN): This one might seem really obvious, but just say everything in a robot voice! There isnt really anything more to say about this one.

Cobras Curse Coaster coming to Busch Gardens Tampa in 2016!By Lleyton W.

Hi again everyone! Today will be another preview coaster article! Today will be about the new Mack Rides (manufacturer) SPINNING Coaster. This will feature an ekevator- type style chain lift and will be heavily themed. This coaster will be in Busch Gardens Egypt area, so i think that you can figure out what theming it has. There will be no Inversions, but will be spinning people A LOT. Since this is supposed to be a family coaster, you only need to be 42 inches to ride. Or 3.50 feet. Wow. These coasters are not free spinning, but they are controlled. that means that you can get a very dizzying ride even during the moments where it doesnt turn too much. Or making it an old spinning wild mouse. So yeah. SPINNING!

PEN THIEF REAVELEDBy Joshua Rosenberg

ok, so my friend Michael [sorry if I spelled your last name wrong] said that he stole the pens, so... I guess this is the end.
