All the President's Men



In the movie "All the President's Men" Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein worked for the Washington Post. They found something fishy in the election of Nixon. Now I'm not super sure on some of the details but they were trying s to uncover some sort of illegal White House spending, along with some break-ins and also some spying on the other party. I'm not too sure on why they were spying, but my guess is to be that they were just trying to get any information they could. "Woodstein" worked extremely hard to find information and facts on this scandal. They went straight to the source of every single lead they had gotten. Even going through a whole list of names to try and find some stuff out. They must have used 20 tanks of gas trying to drive and pick up facts from people. Carl even went in the early hours of the morning to meet with a guy they called "Deep Throat" and picked up a lot of facts. They also had to be extremly careful because they had many buggers out trying to spy on them. Even though they were doubted a whole bunch in the end all their hard work payed off. They solved the mystery. I thought the movie was really good.

MX vs. ATV
Okay so here's the thing.. Which is better? Mx VS. Atv Untamed or Mx VS. Atv Reflex?
Reflex is more reality based, the graffics are extremely realistic and the controls even more. One joystick is for controlling the bike, and another for controlling the rider. Although the controls are very hard to adapt to, in the end it's all worth it. Now Untamed is know as one of the greatest Mx VS. Atv games made. It is somewhat realistic, but also applies a classic theme. The bikes are easir to control than Reflex, but after you master it where do you go? That's when you go to GameStop, trade it in for Reflex and pay the extra to have buy it. In the end it's worth it buy Reflex, especially if you REALLY ride motocross. It's more real time, so you can even learn a few little pointers to become a greater rider in real life. So, go try them both, just make sure if you don't like untamed, to bring it back within 10 days to get your full refund. Pahaha

6 Paragraphs....
The Chevrolet Tahoe, 2-door model. Originally the 2 door was introduced in 1992 and was called a Blazer. The front ends of the 92-93 models were a little rough. The grille was ugly and those horrid lights were there too. In 1994 they changed the front end to the classic chevy front end you see on 95-99 year model chevy trucks and SUVs today. 1995 the Chevy changed the name of the Blazer to Tahoe and introduced a 4-door version. The Tahoe was Motor Trend magazines Truck of the Year for 1996. The Tahoes were shorter than the Suburban on which they were based, but shared that vehicles GMT400 platform. This was a true truck chassis, and was based on that used in the Chevrolet Silverado full-size pickup truck. Both two-door and four-door models were produced, as well as rear- and four-wheel drive. The two door weighs roughly 4500 pounds while the four door weighs approximately 5500 pounds. Autotrac full-time all-wheel drive and onstar was in for 1998. The upscale Denali trim line to the Yukon appeared around this time as the vehicles became popular with wealthy families. The standard engine was Chevrolet's 5.7 L 350 LO5 small-block V8, while a turbocharged 6.5 L 395 Detroit Diesel V8 was available beginning in 1994. In Mexico, the Tahoe 2-door was released in 1995, called the Chevrolet Silverado, and in 1998 the 4-door was released as the Silverado 4-door, and both were available in Base, LS and luxury LT trim lines.

Haiti
Wow, what happened in Haiti was a crazy thing. There are countless deaths in this already terribly poor nation. Things only got worse when the aftershock came. Haiti's government put the body count at 150,000 around January 23. The devastation created serious obstacles to those attempting to deliver promised foreign aid. America is helping in many ways. They are sending money, troops, supplies, and whatever else is needed. Also, as students we can help this country get back on their feet by sending in money via text messages or even other ways on the web. (If you have a way). Already there are tons of eBay items that partial and even all the money raised will go toward helping this poor country. From what I have read and heard it has been a VERY long time since Haiti has been struck with an earthquake. Also that they couldn't have been more surprised on it hitting them. It is a very sad story to hear in my opinion. They have said that the amount of deaths in Haiti could be doubled before it is all over with. One of my mom's friends from Alabama was on a missions trip to Haiti when the earthquake first struck. She made it out okay but was stranded in Haiti for much longer than was expected.

What it takes...
Okay, by now I'm sure you all know I have a passions for motocross and love to write on it... but here's to another.
Motocross is more than a sport. It's more like a life style. It's more than hitting the gas and hoping you make it. It's more than having a good bike. Motocross is the 2nd most physically demanding sport, EVER. To make it big time, or even amateur it take much dedication. You must workout every day, eat on a controlled diet, and even ride a lot of pedal bikes or mechanical bikes. You have to have the stamina to run 3 miles to complete one "heat" race in almost any level of racing. Take into the fact of there are 2 heat races, and one main event lasting usually 5 more laps than the heat races... ALL IN ONE NIGHT! You do the math on how hard it is.. The next thing is diet. No, this does not mean that you cannot eat. I means you must watch what you eat. Try to stray from lots of fried foods and pure junk foods (cakes, etc.). Carbonated drinks don't help, so try to keep down on that. Next is that you must train for you strength every day. This includes many set of push ups, sit ups, running, lifting weights, TONS of stretching, and riding bikes (not motorcycles). Keeping a schedule for your workout is the best way to stay fit. I can tell you for experience that racing and not staying fit is one of the hardest and most painful things out there. Other than that, get out there and ride. You have to have fear, but be fearless. Don't ride over your head, and don't slip back. These can get you severely hurt and cause your career as a rider to go down the tubes... Go fast, ride safe. -720
