So far this summer we have seen what seems to be an abnormal amount of tornado activity. The latest hit was in Iowa, western Iowa to be exact. The tornado struck the Little Sioux Scout Ranch and killed 4 scouts when they dived under a picnic table and were buried under a collapsed chimney. The Little Sioux Scout Ranch was struck early thursday morning. Im sure the boy scouts were prepared with their first aid kits though.

First aid kits have been known to save many lives in the past. I’m sure that after the tornado struck the little sioux scout ranch, the boy scouts were ready to help the 48 scouts that were injured with their first aid kits. Being a scout myself, I know how handy first aid kits can be. With the events on thursday morning happening so quickly, the quick and cool response from the boy scouts and the willingness they had to help each other out came in handy too. Tornados are so unpredictable. They can come out of no where, which the boy scouts at the little sioux scout ranch learned on thursday morning, as they watched the skies. Good thing they were boy scouts and prepared, with their first aid kits as well. Read the rest of this entry »

There is a new show coming to ABC premiering on June 24th on a tuesday! I am so excited! Its called wipeout. I think this show looks so hilarious! They are going to need to find a good discount spa!

They are going to get thrown around and jump and bump into everything! It reminds me of those chinese extreme shows. So funny! The commercials are showing clips of them running into things and falling off and getting hurt and it looks like they will use a discount spa! Read the rest of this entry »

It has been reported that the Oil Price Per Barrel has now reached above $137.00/ barrel as a result of world demand for oil and with the decreasing supply of oil. Wall Street firms believe that the future prices could even rise above $150.00 per barrel. So naturally what is everyone doing? Panicking! And of course they should its hurting their pockets. Something must be done to lower the oil price per barrel. And the solution… well there really isn’t a quick way to solve that problem, but there is some changes we can make to help even out our pocket book. Some of the ways to help you conserve your money is, take shorter showers to lower your water bill, conserve on electricity, and my favorite use food coupons!

Every sunday and every day for that matter in the local papers they have food coupons. In the front of most grocery stores they show food coupons of what food is on sale. I can save up to twenty bucks or more just by using food coupons!!! I know they seem like a tedious task but in my opinion it is worth it! I keep mine in a little box and take it every time I go to the grocery store. In fact most grocery stores if you have a coupon for another store and present it to them they will let you have it at that price just to stay competitive!

So don’t fret to much about the price of gas going up because of the oil price per barel. Just think smart about things you can cut back on and do smart such as like I said, USE FOOD COUPONS, I LOVE THEM!!!!

Americans are feeling the pinch of rising food prices due to our suffering economy, but the American dieting habits, and level of food consumption is very different from those of people around the world according to the 2005 book called, “Hungry Planet: what the world eats” by photographer Peter Menzel and writer Faith D’Aluisio. The prices that are shown are reflected in U.S. dollars and do not reflect today’s costs, but are definatly an interesting comparison of our world and the American diet habits.

In the book, “Hungry Planet” , they talk about several families and their diet habits. It amazes me how different people around the world live and especially eat. I personally ate about four or five slices of pizza just a few hours ago and am already hankerin’ for a little snack. Read the rest of this entry »

What are the smallest birds in the world? Well, the absolute smallest birds in the world would be the hummingbirds. To be more specific the bee humming bird(Mellisuga helenae). But what is this world coming to? Will these small birds become an endangered species? Unless we take the initiative to save the animals, there wont be any smallest birds in the world, for that matter there wont be any birds at all!

Want to help the animals? Then we need to do our part in taking care of the planet. We are in control of this planets future, and whether or not our animals will be a part of it. From the smallest birds in the world to the polar bears at the north pole, we decide their future. We need to save the tiny animals too! Lets face it, unless something is done soon, all of our favorite animals will face extinction. So you ask yourself, what can i do to save the planet? Well, there are many good ideas out there, such as using public transportation or even riding a bike to work. This will cut back on all the pollution in the air. Conserve energy around your house by updating to the latest energy star appliances. You can also make your house more efficient by changing your windows to better insulated ones.

Now I know this has actually nothing to do with anything in Denver, but I figured why not throw some current event stuff in here too? And I know that I’m kinda late on this whole topic, but I guess there is some controversy in the American Idol world. Who really won on that fateful night? Who should really be going to Disneyworld? Supposedly the americanidol.com forums were going crazy with people claiming that their votes went to the wrong person. After they dialed, they would hear the message thanking them for picking contestant one, which was David Cook, when they were really trying to vote for contestant two, David Archuletta. Now me personally, I could care less. I have never voted for any of that stupid crap in my life, and don’t plan to. But when I heard that the winner won by 12 million votes, I had to raise an eyebrow.

I mean, who wins by 12 million votes. I don’t remember last years numbers, but I dont think the margin was that wide. And if it was, wow. That only shows how many people actually watch this crap. The only part I like(and occasionally watch) is when the judges are “scouting” America for talent. I know they intentionally show some really bad contestants, but it is entertaining. After that part of the show, I think American Idol gets pretty useless.

So, whose to say who actually won. I guess you would say the voters, by 12 million. Me, I don’t really know and don’t really care. But I do know that no matter what the votes actually were, if the “powers that be” wanted David Cook to win, then he would win. And if they wanted David Archulleta to win, then he would have won. Am I saying that there is an American Idol conspiracy? Well, maybe I am.
Thanks for reading our post on American Idol news.
