BA #37/Fav. Movies

#1- Spirit-Stallion of the Cimmeron
   This is definately my favorite movie. I first watched it at the movies with my Mimi, and I loved her too. It is a movie about a mustang, Spirit, who gets seperated from his herd and captured by white men. He becomes a bucking bronco that no one can tame. Spirit then escapes the white men and is again captured, but by his Indian friend. He meets their mare, with whom he falls in love. They then tame Spirit, only to be attacked by the white men. It is a classic about bonds and friendship. I hope you can watch this movie.
#2- Despicable Me
   I think that this is a funny movie. It is about an evil villian, Gru, who wants to steal the moon and become the baddest villian in the world. When he adopts three girls, Margo, Edith, and Agnes, his life is turned around. This movie is cute and hillarious.
#3- Secretariat
   I love this movie, but ut can get pretty sad. It is about Penny Tweedy whose parents horse farm is about to go out of buissness. She tries desperately to make the pay, but will not succeed if her horse, Secretariot, will not win the race. While that is going on, her family is in another state, waiting for Penny to come home. This movie is guarenteed to touch the depths of your heart.
#4- Monsters Inc.
   I used to love this movie as a little girl. It is about many monsters whose job is to scare kids. One day, Sulley, or Sullivan, is transformed when he meets a little girl whom he needs to scare. When he can't do it, Mike, his friend, can't change his mind. It is a sweet movie that will make you want to check your closet.
#5- Percy Jackson-The Lightning Thief
   I like this movie because I loved the book. It is about a dyslexic, ADHD boy, Percy, who finds out he's a demigod. Half god, half man. When they realize  that his father is Posiedon, his life is close to its end. Its a close movie that keeps you on the edge.

blog assignment #35/My Weekend

MY WEEKEND

   My weekend was pretty awesome. On Friday I slept over at my Aunt Sandy's house. The next day(Saturday), Aunt Sandy, my sister, Krista, and I went to LSU to walk in the heart walk. We all wore matching shirts. The shirt, on the back, had a strong, animated heart on a treadmill. Inside the heart was my one month old cousin Aidan's name. He had some heart troubles when he was born so we were walking for him. It was a tough three miles, but we made it.
   Saturday afternoon, my sister and I stayed with my mom at the tax office and rested while she did her tax preparation stuff. We also did our homework. When we got home we ate dinner and conked out on the bed.
That morning(Sunday), Mom had so much work to do that she had to go to the office really early. Dad also had some serious yardwork to do, so we stayed home.
   But instead of chilling, we had to do tons of chores. Mom made Krista and I a list of things to do. I had to vacuum the kitchen, the hallway, and the laundry room. I also had to cook lunch(fish sticks. yum!), do the laundry, and clean up my room. Krista had to vacuum the living room and her room. She also cleaned her room and, well, she did not have any homework(boohoo).
   After we did all of our chores, we jumped on the trampoline for about fourty-five minutes. It was pretty fun. When Mom came home, I helped her make dinner. We made chicken and dumplings. Dad said that it was good. I am actually eating some for lunch today. I cannot wait!

New Hope for a Rare Bird in the Syrian Desert
   A few years back, Gianluca Serra found a legendary bird thought extinct in Syria, with funds from National Geographic's Committee for Research and Exploration. Now Serra, an IUCN specialist on northern bald ibis, is trying to forge a stable population of these ungainly creatures, with a little help from a prince and some first ladies. The rest of this article is Q&A's e.g.e...
  
Q: The northern bald ibis was considered extinct in Syria for more than 70 years, according to the scientific literature. Tell us about how this legendary bird was rediscovered -- and when and where?
We rediscovered the bald ibis on a remote cliff of the Syrian desert in April 2002, following clues from local hunters and Bedouin nomads as part of a general fauna survey of the area. The birds were the oriental subspecies of northern bald ibis, which had not been seen for many years.

Coldest Star Found—No Hotter Than Fresh Coffee
   Dubbed CFBDSIR 1458 10b, the star is what's called a brown dwarf. These oddball objects are often called failed stars, because they have starlike heat and chemical properties but don't have enough mass for the crush of gravity to ignite nuclear fusion at their cores.With surface temperatures hovering around 206 degrees F (97 degrees C), the newfound star is the coldest brown dwarf seen to date. Over the years there has been steady but slow progress in pushing the boundaries of finding the coldest stars, but with this latest discovery we have made a big leap forward—besting the previous record holder by at least 150 Kelvin [270 degrees F, or 150 degrees C].

Swamp Men
  

In the Everglades’ Big Cypress Swamp, more than 1,600 animals roam wild on thousands of acres in a park run by the Seminole tribe of Florida.  Best described as controlled chaos, the Billie Swamp Safari offers visitors face-to-face encounters with ostriches, American bison, African elan, wild alligators, venomous snakes, wild hogs, raccoons and virtually every other animal found near the swamp.  The goal is to immerse visitors in the wild, in accordance with the Seminoles’ love of harmony with nature, but sometimes these close encounters can mean trouble for people and wildlife.  It’s up to the park’s director, Ed Woods, and his tough team of self-described Swamp Men to patrol the land, relocate animals from dangerous situations and rescue animals in need.

SCREEN ICON DAME ELIZABETH TAYLOR DIES

   Elizabeth Taylor died in Los Angeles at the age of 79. The double Oscar-winning actress had a long history of ill health and was being treated for symptoms of congestive heart failure. Her four children were with her when she died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Elizabeth's most famous films included National Velvet, Cleopatra and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? In her prime, she was arguably one of the world's greatest actresses and most beautiful women. Her colourful private life, screen success and Aids charity work ensured she was never far from the spotlight since finding fame at the age of 12. It is said that her legacy will never fade.


OSBORNE'S BUDGET 'TO FUEL GROWTH'

   A further 1p will be cut from pump prices at 6pm - all paid for by a £2bn tax on oil companies. But he did not halt planned rises in alcohol and tobacco tax - meaning a pint of beer could cost up to 10p more. The chancellor was forced to downgrade his growth forecasts - prompting mockery from Labour leader Ed Miliband. Mr Osborne's hands were tied by last year's spending review and his post-election Budget, which locks Britain into spending cuts to tackle its record budget deficit. Mr Osborne revealed that he now expected Britain's economy to grow at a slower rate than previously expected this year with the Office for Budgetary Responsibility cutting its growth forecast for 2011 from 2.1% to 1.7%. Mr Osborne said he would not increase tax on wine and beer above what was already announced by the previous Labour government - but campaign groups claimed that could add 10p to a pint of beer from Monday. But the Budget was welcomed by business groups, which said it would create jobs.

As with all collisions involving police vehicles the matter will be fully investigated.

MISSING CONNECTICUT GIRL ISABELLA OLESCHUK FOUND ALIVE

   Isabella Oleschuk, the 13-year-old girl missing since Sunday, was found alive this morning with a friend and church bells in the Connecticut town rang out to celebrate the news. She did leave home and she was with a friend and she is ok. "Our prayers have been answered," Annette Rubelman, a friend of the family, said through tears of joy. "We haven't been able to do anything." No one knows how or why Isabella went missing, but in the midst of their desperate search, police explored the possibility that the girl ran away to escape bullies. She had told several kids at school that she was going to run away because the bullying was so terrible and she was sure her parents were going to make her go back to school and she didn't want to.
Kids told Schurman that schoolmates called her "duck girl" because she likes to make quacking noises and animal sounds. Isabella is partially deaf and normally uses a hearing aid. Her hearing aid was left behind, prompting concerns among rescuers that she might not be able to hear people calling her name.

BA #26/ NY Time's Travel

PANTAGONIA, ARGENTINA

   Pantagonia is a popular place to visit when going to Argentina. Their cuisine is very tasty, including meats like deer, boar, lamb, crab, and trout. The climate is okay too. It is not as severe as what early travelers thought. The east coast is warmer than that of the west coast. This popular destination would be a very nice place to visit.
  
ORLANDO, FLORIDA

   Orlando is well-known hot spot. It is also close by. It is a terrific place to go if you are into golf. There are many golf courses. There is also Disney World and Sea World. Orlando has an abundance of hotels, so picking one will be hard, or easy, it all depends. I would love to visit Orlando.
  

VIENNA, AUSTRIA

   Vienna, Austria is located in Europe next to Germany. They are home to the world's oldest zoo, Tiergarten Schonbrunn. Vienna is well-known for its cuisine and has a wide variety. They also have many parks with beautiful gardens. Their architecture is very interesting too. I would definately love to go there.
  

MY OPINION

   I would love to visit all of these plases. Out of all these place, I think I would rather go to Argentina than any place else. I enjoy the view and would love to go there. I hope that one day I will be able to eat some of their seafood. Yum!
