Guy Ritchie ‘Doing Fine’ After Divorce Announcement

Guy Ritchie and Madonna's divorce announcement may have shocked the world, but a friend of the "RocknRolla" director told People he’s "doing fine."

"The divorce is news to you and everyone else, but for Guy this has been a long time coming," the friend told the mag.

"I think he’s sort of relieved that it’s all out there. He doesn’t have to fake it anymore."

Instead, Guy is pouring his energies into his latest project, the Robert Downey Jr.-starring "Sherlock Holmes" film, which is currently shooting in London.
"He’s very excited about his film, and he’s focused on that and getting on with it," the friend said. "For him, everything is really the same as before, only with more photographers. Yesterday was insane."

Meanwhile, Madonna is back on her "Sticky & Sweet" tour, having performed in Boston on Wednesday. But what about the kids?
"They are great," the friend said. "They are Guy and Madonna’s top priority. That’s all that needs to be said." The estranged couple’s children include Lourdes, Rocco and David. A rep for Madonna confirmed the divorce to the Associated Press on Wednesday.

ILLINOIS WIN OPENER AGAINST EASTERN WASHINGTON

The Illini played a strong second half last night to pull away from Eastern Washington and win their 2008-2009 season opener. Trent Meacham hit three threes on his way to 18 points and Chet Frazier added 13 points. Those may end up as single game point highs for those two guys all season. Oh, by the way, the Illini are currently down 23-13 to Ohio St. at the half. But for two Juice turnovers the Illini may be winning this game. Matty Eller has boomed two big field goals to get the game to within 10. Let's see if Juicer can work some magic in the second half.

" A REAL NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!! "

"No! it wasn't a dream! I'm sure there was something at the window!" I told my mother as she tried to comfort me in her arms. It wasn't very long ago that we had moved into our new house in Colorado, during that time nothing that nerve wrecking had ever happened to me. My room was just like any other room in the house never in my mind did I think that my room was going to become one of the most memorable rooms in my entire house.
It was about 11:30 p.m. when I was getting ready to go bed, like any other night I put on my pajamas, bushed my teeth and tucked in to my bed, which was right next to the only window in my room. Everything was normal until I turned off the lights from my nightstand. I laid there for about a minute with my eyes closed but still conscious of what was happening. Suddenly a slightly noise make me open my eyes I turned slightly toward the window since that’s where the small noise was coming from. I didn’t pay much attention to it since I thought it was our dog that might have been loose. But as I listened carefully it sounded like footsteps walking over dry leafs and grass and they seemed to be getting closer every time. That's when I started to get scared. Just when I was about to get up and calmly tell my parents , I heard a loud "thump!" on the window followed by the most horrifying and slow screeching noise. At that time I turned again slightly toward the window and saw a big figure on the window. At that moment I couldn't take it anymore and I screamed as loud as my lungs let me "HELP!" in less than five seconds my mother and my father came running through the door, at that time the only words that came out of my mouth were "there's someone at the window" immediately my father went outside to see if anyone was in our back yard and also to check behind the fence that surrounded our house. While my mother got me in her arms and tried to get me to explain what had happened. I was shaking and very pale looking; my mother took me to the kitchen to give me a glass of water to try to get me to stop shaking and to see if I got my color back. A few minutes later, just as I was finishing the glass of water mom had given me; my dad stepped in and said he had checked everywhere and that there was nothing there. I asked him if maybe it could have been our dog and he answered, "I too thought it was the dog, but I just checked and Wolf is still tied up in the garage there's no possible way it was him maybe it was some other animal". He tried to explain although as soon as he said that every hair in my body stood up because I knew the figure I saw wasn't an animal. My parents were convinced it was all in my imagination or that maybe it was all just a nightmare I had. They tried to convince me that I was just dreaming but I am more than sure that what happened that night was real. That night I slept with my parents and the next day my dad rearranged the room and put up a light outside the house so no animals would come near.
Many years have passed since that incident but I still remember it like if it were yesterday. Even though nothing like that ever happened again in that house I still know there was something out there just like there was something in me that told me that what ever was out there was not from this world or was it?.

Our last day on the beach was very nice. We weren't in a hurry and we really enjoyed ourselves. We arrived on the beach at about 10 am to find the tide pretty high still. So we set up our chairs just outside the tide's reach. Of course by the middle of the afternoon, the tide had gone out quite a bit so now our chairs were pretty far from the water's edge.

At one point, Fèlix came to us and told us he had to pee. Instead of go and look for a bathroom, we told him to just go out and pee in the ocean.In a few moments, we said "Hey, check out Fèlix".

He had walked just to the edge of the water, ankle deep, and dropped his pants. There he stood, using the ocean as his personal urinal, and us without a camera hahaha what a day we had lots of fun!!!!

Eagles have held a special place in the cultures of many civilizations because of their impressive size and beauty. Used to symbolize royal power, from ancient Egypt to the Roman and Napoleonic empires, eagles have appeared on coins, standards, and weaponry.

The near-threatened Harpy Eagle is one of the world's largest birds. These raptors (or birds of prey) are only found in the Central and South American rainforests. They are one of the 600 species of birds that inhabit Yasuni National Park.
Harpy Eagles are powerful raptors; they are able to pluck monkeys right out of tree tops. Besides primates, this voracious carnivore feeds on other birds, sloths, opossums, large reptiles, and large rodents. Their hunting skills can be attributed in part to their impressive anatomy. Harpies have talons as long as grizzly bear claws (5 inches) and their wingspan is near in length to the height of an NBA basketball player (6-and-a-half feet). They can fly at speeds above 50 mph. Females weigh 14-18 lbs. and are larger than their male counterparts, which weigh 10-14 lbs. Harpies' bodies are almost 3 feet long.

Harpy pairs mate for life and establish nests in high trees or cliffs (above 130 ft). Females lay 1-2 eggs that have an incubation period of 53-56 days. Usually only one offspring survives, and both sexes care for the young.

Harpy Eagles are in danger of becoming extinct due to habitat fragmentation, habitat destruction, and hunting. The proposed oil road into Yasuní National Park will fragment their habitat and could have a dire effect on the Harpy Eagles' already tenuous population.

Cameras vs. video cameras

cameras and video cameras have helped us capture our happiest moments,and they both help us to remember those big moments that we share with our love ones.

cameras and video cameras are very useful and easy to carry anywhere, also they can be charge easily for couple hours so you can lately use them in a freely and comfortble way.

The differences between the camera and video camera is that with cameras you can only take pictures and you can decided if you kepp it or if you erase it , on the other way with video cameras you can record the whole moment.

also you can se it detail by detail and remember it like it happened.

I think that both of them have improve our lives,because thanks to technology we are able to remember different kind of moments in our lives .

So from my point of view they are very useful and helpful in so many ways.

Halloween (or Hallowe’en) is a holiday celebrated on October 31. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating,ghost tours,bonfires,costume parties,visiting haunted attractions, carving jack-o'-lanterns,reading scary stories, and watching horror movies. Irish and Scottish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century. Halloween is celebrated in several countries of the Western world, most commonly in the United States,Canada,Ireland,Puerto Rico, Japan, the United Kingdom, and at times in parts of Australia and New Zealand.

Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain from the Old Irish samain). The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture, and is sometimes regarded as the "Celtic New Year." Traditionally, the festival was a time used by the ancient Celtic pagans to take stock of supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, now known as Halloween, the boundary between the living and the deceased dissolved, and the dead become dangerous for the living by causing problems such as sickness or damaged crops. The festivals would frequently involve bonfires, into which bones of slaughtered livestock were thrown. Costumes and masks were also worn at the festivals in an attempt to mimic the evil spirits or placate them.

History of name
The term Halloween is shortened from All Hallows' Even (both "even" and "eve" are abbreviations of "evening," but "Halloween" gets its "n" from "even") as it is the eve of "All Hallows' Day," which is now also known as All Saints' Day. It was a day of religious festivities in various northern European Pagan traditions,until Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV moved the old Christian feast of All Saints' Day from May 13 (which had itself been the date of a pagan holiday, the Feast of the Lemures) to November 1. In the ninth century, the Church measured the day as starting at sunset, in accordance with the Florentine calendar. Although All Saints' Day is now considered to occur one day after Halloween, the two holidays were, at that time, celebrated on the same day. Liturgically, the Church traditionally celebrated that day as the Vigil of All Saints, and, until 1970, a day of fasting as well. Like other vigils, it was celebrated on the previous day if it fell on a Sunday, although secular celebrations of the holiday remained on the 31st. The Vigil was suppressed in 1955, but was later restored in the post-Vatican II calendar.

The litle of the history is " The Monster" by Henry Frankenstein.

Characteres: Dr. henry frankenstein,elizabeth,victor,the monster and fritz.

The character that I found most interenting was Dr. henry Frankenstein because of his obsession of giving life to a dead human body.

the central problem was tehe opposition of the people around Henry because they were against the experiment.

they didn`t resolve the problem because Henry at the end he created a monster.

yes I recommend this book because is very interesting and talks about life and dead.

DANCE ARTS

The art of dance is one of the most beautiful arts that there are in all over the world, dance can be defined as a sequence of rhythmic steps or movements performed to music, for pleasure or as a form of social interaction.Here we have some of the kinds of dance that exist.

Folk dance refers to dances developed by groups or communities, as opposed to being made up by a choreographer.

Latin dance is a fast-paced, often sensual, partner dance characterized by sexy hip movements.

Modern dance is a dance style that rejects many of the strict rules of classical ballet, focusing instead on the expression of inner feelings.

Swing dance is a lively dance style in which couples swing, spin and jump together.

Ballet Lithe, flexible, graceful, elegant, poised---if you’re not all of those then it’s time to say farewell to your tutu. In ballet, each movement is an expression of a specific emotion so it must be executed precisely and without flaw.

A LESSON IN CARING

1.- IN WHAT WAY DO YOU THINK THE AUTHOR AND HIS DAUGHTER BENEFITED FROM THE VISITS?

In my opinion the author and his daughter benefited from the visits, because right now they can see poverty from a different angle and that permits them to interact with people who can make them better persons in many ways with good feelings and I also think that people who do this kind of jobs, their lives change for a better and sooner or later they are rewarded.

2.- WHAT DO YOU THINK MOTIVATED THE AUTHOR TO BEGIN DOING VOLUNTEER WORK?

From my point of view the author got motivated, because he saw that his daughter was interested in helping needly people and that makes her daughter feel happy and excited.

3.- WOULD YOU CONSIDER THE AUTHOR A HERO? WHY OR WHY NOT?

Definitely I consider the author a hero, bacause to me a hero is a pearson who has the courage to be kind to people at any situation, and the author had the opportunity to either stay at home or make the difference by giving others unforgettable moments.

MICHAEL JORDAN

His impact is far greater than awards and championships. He burst into the league as a rookie sensation scoring in droves with an unmatchable first step and acrobatic drives and dunks and concluded his career as a cultural icon. Along the way, he became a true champion who spearheaded the globalization of the NBA with his dynamic on court abilities and personal sense of style that was marketed to the masses.

He was an accessible star who managed to maintain an air of mystique. He was visible as "Air Jordan," as part of a sneaker advertising campaign and endorsing other products as well as the star of the movie, Space Jam. However, he would vanish into retirement twice only to return until hanging up the sneakers for the last time after the 2002-03 season.

Although Brooklyn born, Jordan was bred in the more tranquil North Carolina. The son of Delores and James Jordan, he shared a special bond with his father, which included baseball being both of their first love. However, following his older brother, Larry, whom he idolized and was a spectacular athlete in his own right, Jordan began to play basketball.

At the turn of the 21st century, ESPN, the preeminent all-sports network, conducted an expansive survey of media members, athletes and others associated with the sports world to rank the 20th century's greatest athletes. Jordan topped the list above Babe Ruth and Muhammad Ali -- substantiating his link to those earlier cultural icons.

FEEL COMFORTABLE. THAT`S ALL THAT MATTERS

It`s important to dress in a way that makes you feel comfortable, because it doesn`t matter what are you wearing as long as you show the security you have on yourself.

Doing this people will see you the way you are which is better because you are not pretending being someonelse by wearing expensive clothes.

This also could affect you in the way, that everybody is going to see you in a different way just because you are not following any trend like anybody else.

In my opinion just get dress the way you want to as long as you feel comfortable and you like it that`s all that matters.

FEEL COMFORTABLE.

MY FAVORITE SPORT

My favorite sport is swimming.

I like to go swimming, because besides I enjoy doing it, it`s the better way to exercise all your body.

I go swimming twice a week of course in summer, because in winter is too cold and I don`t know of a swimming pool that has the facilities to open during the winter.

I have been practice this sport since I was 9 years old and that thanks to my mother, because she was the one that encourage me to do it.

well, whatelse can I say I really love swimming so if you haven`t try it I strongly recomment you. JUST DO IT!!!!!!

THE KILLERS

Today I'm going to talk about one of my favorite groups...Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you The Killers: Brandon Flowers (yes, it is his real name) jajaja– Vocals, KeyboardsDavid Keuning – GuitarsMark Stoermer – BassRonnie Vannucci – Drums.

Few bands in the mid-2000s rose so quickly to the forefront of pop music as Las Vegas quartet the Killers. With a mix of '80s-styled synth pop and fashionista charm, the band's street-smart debut, Hot Fuss, became one of 2004's biggest releases.

The popularity generated by leadoff single "When You Were Young" led up to the highly anticipated release of Sam's Town in early October 2006. While the album did not match the commercial popularity of the band's debut, it nevertheless sold 700,000 copies worldwide during its first week.

In my next blog I'll put a video of the killers so you can check them out! well i have to go... Bye
