Everyone I have something to tell you...I'm moving!!!! I'm moving back to America. I've been waiting for the right time to tell everyone and it's finally come.
We bought our plane tickets,

Wednesday was the first day back from Easter break!!! It was also the first day of level 3 in Gym! Everyone was excited about that! Our goal is to get to level 10 by the end of school year! I think we'll get there, in fact I think we might even get to level 20 maybe higher. We also have to do 100 hours by the end of the school year...I think we can do that.

We are also going on a trip to Siracusa!!! We are still waiting on a bus, but everyone says it's going to be the end of this month or the begining of May...I'm sooooooo excited!

The way getting there was easy but getting through the town...not so much!

Isn't this beautiful? This was taken in the town square.

And then this right here is a picture of the (really big) castle in Montalbano. It's really big...I have to get a bigger picture of it or maybe I have one...

I don't know!

Did I say in the last post that Montalbano is in the moustains? Well it is!

Montalbano!

2010-01-31T10:19:00.001-08:00

Montalbano is so big and so cool.

So here is some pics to show you how cool it really is!

I'm at the top of the world! Really, Montalbano is on a tall and big mountain. My dad was afraid we were going to fall off on the way there!

Isn't this thing cool? Well I shouldn't call it a thing, someone lives here...this is a house!

Cool, right were I want to live...on a cliff right next to a giant castle.

Well, only the castle part was true! Maybe someday I can live and own one!

Sweet, that would make me royal...right?

Stuffed in Homework!

2010-01-28T06:20:00.001-08:00

Lately I have been stuffed in homework.

For tomorrow I have to study history, complete
number 1 on page 29 and number 1 on page 31
for math, finish 5 pages of math that is in my
notebook, study page 32 in my big math book,
study page 43 and 44 in English, complete page
44 in my (also for English) and then write it in my
notebook.

It's making me go crazy!

Last week I had tests out the ying-yang! I had
one test for math (don't know if I passed it). My
teacher didn't tell me. I got an A in my cooking
class. One day there was a flyer in the hall way
near the girls bathroom and I looked at it and
it was for a cooking class. So I signed my name
and then later that day I went to class and there
was cooking stuff out!!!! Only me, Erica, Meng
Meng, and Luna were in that class. (from our
class) (5A)

Anyway...and this week I had a geography test
and I got 35 out of 50. But today I found out my
geography teacher gave us a 7th grade test! Not

5th grade. So today I had the 5th grade test and
I got 45 out of 55...I got an A! Then tomorrow
I have to take a geometry test and a history test.
I'M READY!

Well, I have to be ready I've been studying all week!

Card Castles

2010-01-27T11:46:00.001-08:00

Ok, so you've seen real castles now it's time to see some card castle's me and my cousin made.

Around Christmas me and my cousin, Salvatore, were really bored so we desided to make a castle out of cards. He made the first floor and I made the second. Yeah, he got the easy part and left me with the hard (going to fall) part! (LOL)

I also wanted to say I finished "The Tail of Emily Windsnap"!!!! I don't want to ruin anything for anyone who wants to read the book or is reading the book. So all I can say is that she lived happily ever after! THE END!

Reading...

2010-01-24T05:49:00.000-08:00

Lately I've been reading "The Tail of Emily Windsnap".
It's a story about a girl who has never been in the water fully. (like a bath or swimming). The first time she was ever in the water fully, she starts feeling like her legs are coming together.
Later, she told herself and her mother that she is never going in the water again. A couple of nights later she goes back into the water and it's happening AGAIN! She tries to get out of the water but she's stuck. Then, she notices that she is has a tail and that SHE'S A MERMAID!
I don't know if Emily's mother is a mermaid too. But in the book it said that her mother hates going in the water. DOES THAT TELL YOU SOMETHING? But I have to find out more but I'm only on the 5th chapter. And there are 11 more to go (16 chapters).
I love reading expesally mysteries...

After Emily found out she was a mermaid she ran into another mermaid named Shona Silkfin. Shona had never seen a human with legs before...when they first met they didn't like each other very much. But then they became best friends...I wish I could have a friend like that!

Castles in Oliveri and Brolo

2010-01-23T22:04:00.000-08:00

My cousin, Pippa, said that a prince lives in this castle. (above us)
Me and my mom are excited to go see it. But my dad doesn't want to go see it (he's afraid of small driveways). It is a very big castle but it is also a very old castle. Who knows how old it could be!?!?

The other day we went to a town in Sicily called Brolo. It was beautiful! Just a minute ago I was looking for a picture online of the castle above (in Oliveri), but I couldn't find anything. But I did find this:http://www.castles-for-sale.com/sale/Sicily/index.htm It's a website of the castle in Brolo. The castle is for sale. You want to know how much they are selling it for? Asking Price: $1,600,000.00 US
My goodness! I would only pay them €5...because that's all I have!

When we were in Brolo I went to the beach and I saw a volcanic rock. (probably from a volcano).

And I just thought how cool! Ya know?!?!

PEACE OUT SUCKER...I LIVE IN ITALY!

I love the beach! I think the beach is the most wonderful thing in Sicily!

Cool looking things...

2010-01-23T10:04:00.000-08:00

This house below looks really cool doesn't it? It also looks new but it's not for sale. While I was

taking this picture the owners' dog was barking at me! And it was
a really big dog too!

And this below here is a picture of the ocean. And of houses below

us. All the houses here are 2,3, maybe at the most 4 levels...it's crazy! The apartment we are living
in now is 4 or maybe 3 levels. But
then we have 1 in the back of us,
And my friend, Selene, leaves next

to us.

These pictures here are just pictures of the island and the ocean...I love
taking pictures off these kind of things!

How old is the Earth?

2010-01-21T10:16:00.000-08:00

Usually people don't think of the earth having an age. But really the earth is 3.8 to 4.5 billion years old. Wow! I wish I could live to be that old!
But how is it possibile to find this stuff out? The oldest rocks which have been found so far (on the Earth) date to about 3.8 to 3.9 billion years ago (by several radiometric dating methods). Some of these rocks are sedimentary, and include minerals which are themselves as old as 4.1 to 4.2 billion years. Rocks of this age are relatively rare, however rocks that are at least 3.5 billion years in age have been found on North America, Greenland, Australia, Africa, and Asia.

The difference in how old the Earth could be is enormous, but unless there is clear evidence, who can really say how old the Earth is.

Padre Pio

2010-01-19T07:55:00.000-08:00

Today, me and my mom went out for a walk. Well, you can't
really call it a walk, I skated and she walked. We went past

Padre Pio.

On June 16th, 2002. Padre Pio was made a saint.

This is me doing what Padre Pio is doing!

Don't look away, look at the camera! LOL!

Me skating to Padre Pio.

Apple Pie!

2010-01-16T06:01:00.001-08:00

The other week, my mom made apple pie while I was at school! It was so good! Usually I don't really like pies. But this was good!
I can't wait till she makes it again. And maybe I can make it with her.

Yesterday, my mom made "Apple Sauce Snack Cake". That was good too! I will have to take a picture of it and post it. Even though it has pieces cut out of it, it is still going to be a good picture.

"Black Madonna"

2010-01-15T05:10:00.000-08:00

Some of you people who read "Litlequeen Rules". Saw that she posted this: http://litlequeenrules.blogspot.com/ (the first post)
She said here that the big church up on the mountain (here in Sicily). "Tindari" Is called ,the Church of the Black Madonna!
I don't know what that is or who it is, but all I know is this. (Copied from Wikipedia)

A Black Madonna or Black Virgin is a statue or painting of Mary in which she is depicted with dark or black skin, especially those created in Europe in the medieval period or earlier. In this specialized sense "Black Madonna" does not apply to images of the Virgin Mary portrayed as explicitly black African, which are popular in Africa and areas with large black populations, such as the United States.

That's strange, here it says that the "Black Madonna" is suppose to be Mary?!?!

The Black Madonnas are generally found in Catholic areas. The statues are mostly wooden but occasionally stone, often painted and up to 75 cm tall, generally dating from between the 11th and 15th centuries. They fall into two main groups: free-standing upright figures and seated figures on a throne. The pictures are usually icons which are Byzantine in style, often made in 13th or 14th century Italy. Their faces tend to have recognizably European features. There are about 450-500 Black Madonnas in Europe, depending on how they are classified. There are at least 180 Vierges Noires in France, and there are hundreds of non-medieval copies as well. Some are in museums, but most are in churches or shrines and are venerated by devotees. A few are associated with miracles and attract substantial numbers of pilgrims.

Okay, so here we found out that the "Black Madonna" is a Catholic. Thank Goodness! Because she seems kind of scary. If you look at the pictures of her here on this link you can see why I said that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Madonna
To learn more check this website out! http://www.interfaithmarianpilgrimages.com/pages/blackmadonna.html

Well,I hope you all in joyed that! Bye!

Hungry? Here this might make you even more hungry!

2010-01-12T08:41:00.001-08:00

When we were still living with my aunt. I got pictures of some cool things she made.
This is a picture of stuffed calamari (squid). It was stuffed with it's arms and bread crumbs. I love calamari but I didn't really like the stuffing.

This is a picture of some anchovies. Of course they were cooked, and yes she did take the heart and bones out.

They were really good. But it was weird having them (the anchovies) look at me the whole time I was eating them.

Tiny Town? No, Tiny Room? Yes!

2010-01-11T11:34:00.000-08:00

This is my room! I'm using my mom's computer.(playing a game) (Nancy Drew) Can you see how small my room is?

Remember the post I did called "Tiny Town"? Well now it's "Tiny Room"! LOL

It's the door to the hall way, my stuff on the side, my bed (in the other picture), and my mom's computer. And that's it.

I'm suprised to get it all in there!

Yesterday...

2010-01-11T05:50:00.001-08:00

Yesterday, was my friend, Fabio's birthday party. I had so much fun, it was the very first birthday party I have went to since we got here!

I took this picture when we all were done eating and started playing.

This right here is a picture of Giovanni, and the other one I don't know his name.

This right here is a picture of "my" girls. Luna, Manuela, Selene, and Giorgia. (in that order) We were all acting like goof balls yesterday.

Here in this picture is all the boys. ?, ?, Salvatore, ?, Giuseppe, Fabio, Rosario, Giovanni, Biagio,?.
Some of the boys were from a diffrent class, and that's why I don't know their names.

Fabio opening the present I gave him. (Money) I just met him and I don't know what he likes so money was the best thing. Right?

This right here is a picture of Giuseppe, and Fabio. Right after Fabio blew out the candle's.

Giuseppe: Let's party!!!

Fabio: Happy Birthday to me!

That's not really what they were saying just what I can see from their faces.

This is a picture of Fabio's cake. Isn't it beautiful? As you can see Fabio was turning 10!

The other boys: Yea! The camera. Take our picture!

For Christmas...

2010-01-10T05:46:00.000-08:00

For Christmas I got a Wii!! I always wanted one! I also have a Wii fit board, Wii Sports (Game), Wii Play and a snowboard game! I had to buy a new conroller (as you can see in the picture) to get Wii Play. But that isn't the only reason why I got it. I needed another one in case one of my cousins come's over to play. That way we could play against each other.
I got a used Wii. Why? Because it's cheaper. Where did I get it? I got it at "Game Stop". I was really suprised to find one here. It's inside this store called ,Ipercoop. That is the only one we have found and I don't think we are going to find anymore here!

I also got a bike for Christmas! I always wanted one of them too. I got a Mt bike, that has a bell, and a place to put a water bottle. My bike is pink. "Of corse" I have only gotten to ride it twice so far. Because after the First time I rode it I got a flat! So I pumped it up and went again the next day and I got another flat! And I haven't been able to ride it since!

Pretty...

2010-01-09T23:10:00.000-08:00

Don't you just love flowers? I do, I think flowers are the most beautiful think in the world. That and babies.

I took this picture while we were exploring a town.

The other day while we were leaving Mt. Etna. We saw this town near by. So we drove over to it, and stated walking around. After

we started walking around we noticed the town was abandoned.

This picture is a picture of a church that they started but never

finished.

As you can see in these pictures someone started it but never finished. Probably ran out of money or something.

I wonder what this town would have looked like if it were finshed.

Another thing that I think is pretty is the sun rising. I took this picture while everyone was sleeping!!!

I wish I could have a picture of the sun setting but I don't! Sorry.

La Befana

Today, here in Sicily is "Befana day". Today I went to get a present from the Befana and when I got there it was crazy! Tons of kids running around, singing and dancing. OMG!!! Just now I got a game and some candy. I can't wait to play the game!

La Befana is an old woman who delivers gifts to children throughout Italy.

The character may have originated in central Italy, then spread as a tradition to the rest of Italy.

Many of you may think that La Befana is Santa Claus. But she's not...here they have both,Santa Claus and La Befana. First, comes Santa Claus then La Befana!!!!

If you don't understand here is a bioagraphy about La Befana:http://www.factmonster.com/dictionary/brewers/befana.html

Tiny Town!!!!

2010-01-05T23:14:00.000-08:00

We had to go through a "tiny town" to get to MT Etna. But I say it was worth it! The streets wear really "tiny". As we were coming down from MT

Etna we ran into a bus!!!! My mom thought we
weren't going to make it!!!!!!!

This picture right here is of the center of the town. This is the largest street in the town.

Look how small this street is!Sometimes in other towns the streets are even smaller!

My mom was worried that we wouldn't fit!!!!

Merry Christmas... + our trip to MT Etna

2009-12-20T10:21:00.000-08:00

We were out for a drive the other day, and we saw all these sheep there were so many of them, it was like a sheep farm (probably where they were coming from). It was so cool I have never seen anything like it before! And I may never see anything like it again.

After they left there was tons of pooh on the road it was so smelly but yet still cool.

Io Vado (I go)

Olives in the Moutains

2009-12-18T22:47:00.000-08:00

Sicilians and Italians are crazy about olives. They put olives in everything. Especially in pizza, Sicilians and Italians are crazy about them too! But it's like they can't have a meal without something having them. I mean I'm not complaining, it's just amazing!

When we were up on the moutain the other day and my mom got some great pictures of some olives. Some up close and some a little more far away.

This picture here is me favorite even though it only shows two it is still my favorite. Do you see how dark they are That means they are ready to pick!

I have another picture of some olives . It shows more olives but I like this one up here better.

You can see these are much bigger but they aren't ripe yet. You can also see there are much more olives here than before. But you can also see these are dirty, but are still ediable.

Buon Natale,Merry Christmas!

Sicily

2009-12-17T00:30:00.000-08:00

Did you know that Sicily (Italian and Sicilian: Sicilia) is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea and an autonomous region of Italy? Minor islands around it are also considered to be part of Sicily.

Throughout much of its history, Sicily has been considered a crucial strategic location due in large part to its importance for Mediterranean trade routes. The area was highly regarded as part of Magna Graecia, with Cicero describing Siracusa as the greatest and most beautiful city of all Ancient Greece.

The island was once a city-state in its own right, and as the Kingdom of Sicily ruled from Palermo over southern Italy, Sicily, and Malta. It later became a part of the Two Sicilies under the Bourbons, a kingdom governed from Naples that comprised both the island itself and most of Southern Italy. The Italian unification of 1860 led to the dissolution of this kingdom, and Sicily became an autonomous part of the Kingdom of Italy. Sicily is today an autonomous region of Italy. Of all the regions of Italy, Sicily covers the largest land area at 25,708 square kilometres (9,926 sq mi) and currently has just over five million inhabitants.

Sicily has its own unique culture, especially with regard to the arts, cuisine, architecture and language. The Sicilian economy is largely based on agriculture (mainly orange and lemon orchards); this same rural countryside has attracted significant tourism in the modern age as its natural beauty is highly regarded. Sicily also holds importance for archeological and ancient sites such as the Necropolis of Pantalica and the Valley of the Temples.

The Sicilian economy is plagued by organized crime, the Cosa Nostra being the oldest of Italian mobs. The overall income of criminal associations in Italy (including 'Ndrangheta and Camorra) was estimated to be 63 billion Euros annually, or 7 percent of the Italian economy.

The Climate in Sicily,
Sicily's location means that it has a Mediterranean climate with mild to warm, wet winters and warm to hot, dry summers.

The History of Sicily,
Ancient tribes
The original inhabitants of Sicily were three defined groups of the Ancient peoples of Italy. The most prominent and by far the earliest of which was the Sicani, who according to Thucydides arrived from the Iberian Peninsula (perhaps Catalonia). Important historical evidence has been discovered in the form of cave drawings by the Sicani, dated from the end of the Pleistocene Epoch, around 8000 BC. The arrival of the first humans is correlated with extinction of dwarf hippos and dwarf elephants. The Elymians, thought to be from the Aegean Sea, were the next tribe to migrate to join the Sicanians on Sicily.

Although there is no evidence of any wars between the tribes, when the Elymians settled in the north-west corner of the island, the Sicanians moved across eastwards. From mainland Italy, thought to originally have been Ligures from Liguria came the Sicels in 1200 BC; forcing the Sicanians to move back across Sicily settling in the middle of the island. The Phoenicians also were early settlers before the Greeks.

The Kingdom of Sicily,
Palermo continued on as the capital under the Normans. Roger's son, Roger II of Sicily, was ultimately able to raise the status of the island to a kingdom in 1130, along with his other holdings which included the Duchy of Apulia and Calabria and the Maltese Islands. During this period the Kingdom of Sicily was prosperous and politically powerful, becoming one of the wealthiest states in all of Europe; even wealthier than England.

Significantly, immigrants from Northern Italy and Campania arrived during this period. Linguistically, the island became Latinised. In terms of church, it would become completely Roman Catholic; previously, under the Byzantines, it had been more Eastern Christian.

Depiction of the Sicilian VespersAfter a century the Norman Hauteville dynasty died out, the last direct descendent and heir of Roger; Constance married Emperor Henry VI. This eventually led to the crown of Sicily been passed on to the Hohenstaufen Dynasty who were Germans from Swabia. Conflict between the Hohenstaufen house and the Papacy, led in 1266 to Pope Innocent IV crowning Angevin Dynasty duke Charles I as the king of both Sicily and Naples.

Strong opposition of the French officialdom due to mistreatment and taxation saw the local peoples of Sicily rise up, leading in 1282 to an insurrection known as the War of the Sicilian Vespers, which eventually saw almost the entire French population on the island killed. During the war the Sicilians turned to Peter III, son-in-law of the last Hohenstaufen king, of the Kingdom of Aragon for support after being rejected by the Pope. Peter gained control of Sicily from the French though the French retained control of the Kingdom of Naples. The wars continued until the peace of Caltabellotta in 1302, which saw Peter's son Frederick III recognised as king of the Isle of Sicily, while Charles II was recognised as the king of Naples by Pope Boniface VIII. Sicily was ruled as an independent kingdom by relatives of the kings of Aragon until 1409 and then as part of the Crown of Aragon. In October of 1347, in Messina, Sicily, the Black Death first arrived in Europe.

Sicilian Baroque in CataniaThe Spanish Inquisition in 1492 saw Ferdinand II decreeing the expulsion of every single Jew from Sicily. The island was hit by two very serious earthquakes in the east in both 1542 and 1693, just a few years before the latter earthquake the island was struck by a ferocious plague. There were revolts during the 17th century, but these were quelled with significant force especially the revolts of Palermo and Messina. The Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 saw Sicily assigned to the House of Savoy, however this period of rule lasted only seven years as it was exchanged for the island of Sardinia with Emperor Charles VI of the Austrian Habsburg Dynasty.

While the Austrians were concerned with the War of the Polish Succession, a Bourbon prince, Charles from Spain was able to conquer Sicily and Naples. At first Sicily was able to remain as an independent kingdom under personal union, while the Bourbons ruled over both from Naples. However the advent of Napoleon's First French Empire saw Naples taken at the Battle of Campo Tenese and Bonapartist Kings of Naples were instated. Ferdinand III the Bourbon was forced to retreat to Sicily which he was still in complete control of with the help of British naval protection.

Following this Sicily joined the Napoleonic Wars, after the wars were won Sicily and Naples formally merged as the Two Sicilies under the Bourbons. Major revolutionary movements occurred in 1820 and 1848 against the Bourbon government with Sicily seeking independence; the second of which, the 1848 revolution was successful and resulted in a period of independence for Sicily.

Italian unification

Salvatore Giuliano (1922–1950), a Sicilian bandit and separatist mythologized after his death as a kind of Robin HoodAfter the Expedition of the Thousand led by Giuseppe Garibaldi, Sicily became part of the Kingdom of Italy in 1860 as part of the risorgimento. The conquest started at Marsala and was finally completed with the Siege of Gaeta where the final Bourbons were expelled and Garibaldi announced his dictatorship in the name of Victor Emmanuel II of Sardinia. An anti-Savoy revolt pushing for Sicilian independence erupted in 1866 at Palermo; it was quelled brutally by the Italians within a week.

Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa wrote in his book Il Gattopardo that the Sicilians viewed the unification of Italy as a conquest of the south by the north. The Sicilian (and the wider mezzogiorno) economy collapsed, leading to an unprecedented wave of emigration. Organizations of workers and peasants known as the Fasci Siciliani, who were leftist and separatist groups, rose and caused the Italian government to impose martial law again in 1894. The Messina earthquake of December 28, 1908 killed over 80,000 people.

The Mafia, a loose confederation of organized crime networks, grew in influence in the late 19th century; the Fascist regime began suppressing them in the 1920s with considerable success. There was an allied invasion of Sicily during World War II starting on July 10, 1943. In preparation of the invasion of Sicily, the Allies revitalised the Mafia to aid them. The invasion of Sicily was one of the causes of the July 25 crisis; in general the Allied victors were warmly embraced by the Sicilian population.

Italy became a Republic in 1946 and as part of the Constitution of Italy, Sicily was one of the five regions given special status as an autonomous region. Both the partial Italian land reform and special funding from the Italian government's Cassa per il Mezzogiorno (Fund for the South) from 1950 to 1984, helped the Sicilian economy improve.

Well I hope you in joy all of that,

"Cole and Dylan Sprouse" Also Kay Panabaker from Fame is in this movie , also, Dedee Pfeiffer from Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Hannah Montana the Movie

2009-10-01T04:08:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I borrowed Hannah Montana the Movie from the library. And it was really good. I mean I don't really like Hannah Montana or Miley Cyrus. But it was good movie, it was about showing Miley what it is like to be a normal kid. Before I saw this movie I thought that it would end the Hannah Montana show but...I was wrong. I used to be crazy for Miley and Hannah but now I think that celebrities are just normal people. Yeah sure they have great jobs that everyone wants and they are in movies and get awards. But they are just normal people who have great life's. And tons of money!!!!!!Now back to talking about the movie. Lucas Till and Taylor Swift were in the movie. I love Taylor Swift she is so cool, and she was born in my state. And yes Taylor Swift is a country singer but I think some of her songs are more pop then country. Also, mostly everyone from the show is in the movie. Emily Osment, Mitchel Musso, Moises Arias, Jason Earles, Billy Ray Cyrus, and of course Miley Cyrus. Also, Vanessa Williams VII "the seventh" from Ugly Betty, and Melora Hardin from 17 again. I to start school so bye!

What is your favorite Cereal?

2009-09-30T06:57:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of the cereal Corn Pops. I eat these almost every week or everyday. They are the most corny cereal I have every met. HAHAHA Anyway, Once I wrote a persuasive paper for school trying to convince people to eat these cereals. I had graphs and everything. It was fun to write but it took a long time to do it. The whole point of doing this is to see what your favorite cereal is. The way this is going to work is I will list a bunch of different cereal's and you will leave me a comment telling me what your favorite cereal is on that list. I will also have pictures of some of the cereals so you know what I'm talking about.

This is a picture of Honey bunches of Oats Honey Roasted. This is good cereal but I don't eat this everyday...just some times. I love it, this is the only kind I like of Honey bunches of Oats. I also like posts Just Bunches. I snack on them all the time but they are not something I would eat for breakfast. I tried putting milk in with them and they didn't taste to good. But we will talk more about that later, now we are talking about Honey Bunches of Oats. So yes Honey Bunches of Oats is good but some times I get sick of eating them. Also, I think you can get them in chocolate and I don't think that will taste to good ether.

Just bunches

I tried getting a picture of Just Bunches but when I put it on it came out as Honey Bunches of Oats and I didn't want to look for the right picture. So I put no picture on of it. But yes Just Bunches is a good cereal to snack on but not something I would have for Breakfast. But maybe I have to put more cereal in, I only put a little bit in so I will have to try it again. I will tell you my results of it later:

Here is a list of Cereals:

Corn Pops
Honey Bunches of Oats
Just Bunches
Rice Krispies
Corn Flakes

I also put up a poll about it so if you can't leave me a comment you can do the poll. Bye!

Bat's in the Attic

2009-09-22T15:36:00.000-07:00

My mom needs to get stuff out of my grandmother's attic before we move, but when my grandmother went up there the other day she saw a bat! I don't know if was just one bat, but there was a bat. The last time my mom and I went up there, there was not bat, but there was rat poop everywhere! My mom didn't want me to step in the poop so I was just standing in a space that I wouldn't get in the way. After a while my legs started falling a sleep and when she told me it was time to go I couldn't move! But that was a while ago, so I don't remember all the details.

Did you ever want to know more about bats? Well here is stuff I found off of the internet:

Bats may be the most misunderstood animals in the United States, although as consumers of enormous numbers of insects, they rank among the most beneficial. Almost all United States bats, and 70 percent of the bat species worldwide, feed almost exclusively on insects and are thus extremely beneficial. In fact, bats are the only major predators of night-flying insects. One bat can eat between 600 and 1,000 mosquitoes and other insect pests in just one hour.
While most United States bat species are insectivorous, bats in other parts of the world feed on a variety of items in addition to insects. Many species feed primarily on fruit, while several types feed on nectar and pollen. Fruit bats perform an extremely important function as seed dispersers. Nectar eating bats, including the federally-listed endangered lesser long-nosed (Leptonycteris curasoae yerbabuenae) and greater Mexican long-nosed bats (Leptonycteris nivalis), are important pollinators. Many plant species depend almost entirely on bats for pollination.
Of the 45 species of bats found in the continental United States, six are federally-listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. These species include the:

gray bat (Myotis grisescens),
Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis),
Ozark big-eared bat (Corynorhinus (=Plecotus) townsendii ingens),
Virginia big-eared bat (Corynorhinus (=Plecotus) townsendii virginianus),
lesser long-nosed (Leptonycteris curasoae yerbabuenae),
Mexican long-nosed bat (Leptonycteris nivalis),
Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus)(Hawaii),
little Mariana fruit bat (Pteropus tokudae)(Guam), and
Mariana fruit bat (Mariana flying fox) (Pteropus mariannus mariannus)(Guam)

In addition, populations of several of the remaining species, especially cave-dwelling species, appear to be declining.

Have a good day, Bye

Adobe Buildings

2009-09-17T12:59:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone! I'm sorry I didn't start writing on the top I just didn't want to get my words all mixed up.

Above me I have a picture of an adobe building!I learned about this in my American history class,also it was one of my spelling words for this week.

I hope this all makes sense I was just typing away!"Written after I typed what is below"

Adobe is a natural building material made from sand, clay, and water, with some kind of fibrous or organic material (sticks, straw, dung), which is shaped into bricks using frames and dried in the sun. It is similar to cob and mudbrick. Adobe structures are extremely durable and account for some of the oldest extant buildings on the planet. In hot climates, compared to wooden buildings, adobe buildings offer significant advantages due to their greater thermal mass, but they are known to be particularly susceptible to seismic damage in an event such as an earthquake.[1]
Buildings made of sun-dried earth are common in the Middle East, North Africa, South America, southwestern North America, and in Spain (usually in the Mudéjar style). Adobe had been in use by indigenous peoples of the Americas in the Southwestern United States, Mesoamerica, and the Andean region of South America for several thousand years, although often substantial amounts of stone are used in the walls of Pueblo buildings.[2] (Also, the Pueblo people built their adobe structures with handfuls or basketfuls of adobe, until the Spanish introduced them to the making of bricks.) Adobe brickmaking was used in Spain already in the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age, from the eighth century B.C. on. [3] Its wide use can be attributed to its simplicity of design and make, and the cheapness thereby in creating it.[4]
A distinction is sometimes made between the smaller adobes, which are about the size of ordinary baked bricks, and the larger adobines, some of which are as much as from one to two yards (2 m) long.

I hope that explains all about adobe buildings! Aren't adobe buildings exciting?

E-matic MP3 Player

2009-09-16T14:01:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,
Today I got a MP3 player! I had one before but it was a barbie girl MP3 player and I told my mom "I'm getting to big for this". So I told her if she bought one for me I would pay for half of it, and...she said yes!
I got a E-matic Mp3 player. It's so cool, when we got home today we saw a box on the chair on our porch. I went to get it and I opened it and there it was! I was so excited I turned our computer on and started charging it! Then my mom came over and we put tons of songs on it. I was so excited, but when I saw how small it was I was a little disappointed, but it's worth it. I got it from Walmart for $27.00!!! And it wasn't on sale! We originally were going to get it from Target, but I went on Walmart to see if they had it in purple "they didn't"and when I saw it was $27.00 I told my mom to get it there! As you can see in the picture it's green, but what you can't see is it has a built in microphone! I don't know where it is...YET. I read SOME of the manual but I was so excited I didn't want to read more! I was just listening to it and it was so cool I could see what song I was listening to! With my last Mp3 player I didn't have a screen or a hold button! Also it can last up to 10 hours without charging!

Today my mom and I went shopping. We went to Target, this Italian place called Russo's, and two libraries. It was really fun, I always have fun when I'm shopping with my mom!
Well I have to go listen to my songs,
See you later.
Bye!

Do you want to know about Club Penguin?

2009-07-22T14:23:00.000-07:00

I got this off of this site:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_Penguin
Club Penguin is an MMOG (massively multiplayer online game) involving a virtual world containing a range of online games and activities, developed by Club Penguin Entertainment (formerly New Horizon Interactive). Using cartoon penguins as avatars, players waddle around, chat, play minigames and participate in other activities with one another in a snow-covered virtual world. After beta-testing, Club Penguin was made available to the general public on October 24, 2005[1] and has since expanded into a large online community — growing to the extent that by late 2007, it was claimed that Club Penguin had over 12 million user accounts.[2] While free memberships are available, revenue is predominantly raised through paid memberships which allow players to access a range of additional features, (such as the ability to purchase virtual clothing, furniture and "pets", also called puffles, for their penguins through the use of in-game currency).[3] The success of Club Penguin led to New Horizon being purchased by The Walt Disney Company in August 2007 for the sum of $350 million, with an additional $350 million in bonuses should specific targets be met by 2009.[2]
The game is designed for children between the ages of 6 and 14 years old.[4] Thus a major focus of the developers has been on child safety,[5] with a number of features introduced to the game to facilitate this — including offering an "Ultimate Safe Chat" mode, whereby users select their comments from a menu; filtering that prevents swearing and the revelation of personal information;[5] and moderators (along with veteran players) who police the game.[6] Nevertheless, the game has had a degree of criticism, including claims that it teaches consumerism [7] and that some players "cheat" to improve their status.[8]
Well that's it!!!! Little P
