It will help Anakin and Ahsoka locate R2-D2. The first computer (located behind Ahsoka) is given a reading from the satellite on top of the radar system. The second computer, located on Ahsoka's left, tells who the droid is thru the satellite on top of the system. It's power source is red diamonds plugged into the cooling jet behind Ahsoka and the pipes with blue tips (on the bottom of the system, next to Anakin), sucks lava from the middle of the planet. The lava is also a part of it's power source. The heat from the lava gives the radar power surge on Tatooine where the sand storms come often. The first radar has a back up power supply (a blue diamond), also with a brown cooling fan. The yellow diamond on the top of the large radar is a power booster for the satellite."</em></strong> </p><p>If I win the contest, I will win a $100.00 dollar lego gift card. </p><p>I have some Tim Hawkins videos that I you would enjoy.

It meant a weekly day of rest. From the beginning of time there was work. Moses led the Jews out of Egypt onto Mt.

I also went to see the Battleship U.S.S. North Carolina. It was in Wilmington. I learned that it was actually sunk, but they pulled it out. They had lots of neat stuff on the ship like ice cream, a bakery, and even a barber shop. They did the laundry in their "skivies" (undergarments) because it was so hot in the belly of the ship. You could actually go into some of the big guns and then some of the small guns you could put your hands on. The ship is from WWII.

My family and I just recently moved from the mountains to Elizabethtown----- FLATLANDS!!! I have been missing my friends, but I am still going to be able to see them. I have been going to the lake. The lake is very nice. The longest dock is pretty big. When you jump off, it is 5 feet or deeper. There is a bit of algae in the water because the lake is so clear. The sun hits the bottom of the lake and makes the plants grow. Then, the jet skis come through and chop it up and so sometimes you may see chopped up algae in the water. Otherwise, the lake is really cool. </span></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">Recently, we rented a movie: "Ghostbusters".
