Gustav
Hurricane Gustav has hit Cuba and Jamaica. Gustav is now heading for Louisiana and is supposed to hit the shores on Monday morning around 8:00am. Some evacuations have already been made. When the storm hit Cuba and Jamaica it was a category 1-2 storm. The weather meteorologists predict by the time it hits New Orleans it will be a category 3 hurricane! The weather meteorologists also think there will be 185-200 millimetres of rain hitting New Orleans Louisiana and the winds speed will be around 105 kilometres an hour!. Lets hope that New Orleans, Jamaica, and Cuba will all be okay from the hurricane!

American T.V shows
I really enjoy watching American T.V shows. Canada has the odd good show on but the ones you remember the most are the American shows. For Example American Idol America's Best Dance Crew America's toughest jobs, So you think you can dance and lastly Americas got talent. These are just a few of many that I named off the top of my head. America's Got Talent is on tonight at 8:00pm. This is a very cool show as everyone has different talents and you get to see them. Some are singers, dancers, Ventriloquists, drummers and many more! Not to mention there is another very popular sport happening in the United States in less than a week! FOOTBALL SEASON! This is just an awesome sport to watch! This is very big to watch in Canada but way more popular in the United States! You should see how many sites they have about football. To me I find Canadian T.V shows a copy of America's. For Example American Idol /Canadian Idol. Its almost funny to see that Canada can not think of their own shows! America's best dance crew is a very good show as the jabawokeez were the best dancers i have ever seen dance before. So you think you can dance there was an amazing popper and I wish he went on America's got talent as the judges on so you think you can dance said he wasn't good enough in choreography. Here is a link to show how good of a popper he is.

Maple Leaf Meats Disease Outbreak
Listeriosis is in some of the meat of the Maple Leaf Company. Listeriosis is a deadly disease that make people very ill. To be safe I threw out all of my Maple Leaf meat as I did not want to take any chances. If I were you I would do the same as this is a serious matter that must be stopped. It harms the elderly and the unborn the most. Usually men at 76 and women at 80. Listeriousis is often found in soil, vegetation, animal feed and feces, and recently inside the processed meats of the Maple Leaf Plant in Toronto. Eiwwww animal feed and feces? That's in our meat?
Personally, it will be a long time before I buy Maple Leaf Products again.

Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare
This game is terrific! The campaign is so fun but it is way to short. If you wanted to you could finish the game in 1 day or 1 and a half days. The online gameplay is awesome as there are lots of different games you can play like deathmatch, team deathmatch etc. There is a lot of online people for the game Call of Duty 4 as it is very popular. The error that they made was when you beat the game and if you want you can go to mission Select to play on a harder level. When you click the mission that you want to play and you beat it on that harder level and if you push save and quit it litterally saves where you are and quits. So if you picked the Prolouge to play and after you beat the prolouge level and you want to quit you push save and quit it would wipe out all of your maps you beat before and you would have to play them again. Believe me this has happened to me before and I was not happy! So the solution to that is when you do not want to play anymore you hold the PS button and it will say quit game you then press quit game. But syaing that this game is a very fast pace game and you will always have to be on your toes or the enemy will shoot you. I find the last difficulty ridiculously hard so I just go a difficulty down and play hard. But when you are playing and you can not get passed this one part it gets really frusturating as you are the middle of the level. So just play down a level of difficulty! There are four different difficulities to play so you should be able to find one right for you. Other than that though the game was so good at keeping it realistic and simple controls. When it ended though I was unhappy as the ending wwas sad AND i just wanted to play more! At the end of the game this was one of my favourite lines ever it said "HEARTBREAKERS AND LIFE TAKERS THANKS FOR PLAYING!"
Overall, I like this game and I would give it a 8 out of 10. To get the full ten just have a longer single player and maybe have some Coop missions as they are always fun to play!

PC vs PS3
The Pc and the playstation 3 are the best ways to play a game. I prefer to play a game [especially Call of Duty 4] on the Playstation 3 as the bigger the screen you play on the more realistic it gets. With the PC it seems like "ya I'm playing a computer game with my keyboard and mouse". With the Ps3 you are holding something therefore you feel like your in the game more. Not to mention the graphics on the Ps3 are WAY better than the Pc. I find the volume a lot lounder on the T.V when you play Ps3 as it sometimes has bigger speakers. Volume is another thing that makes you feel like your in the game. Sometimes when I am being stealthy in Call of Duty 4 I don't move as I want to be as quiet as I can. I feel like if I make a sound they will hear me. Another up side is you can probably get a PS3 and controllers for less than a computer!
Personally, I prefer the PS3 as the Overall expierience of the game is better on the PS3 than the PC .

Two Awesome games!!!
Resistance 2 and Far Cry 2 are going to be very popular when they come out. Far Cry looks so good because you have so much freedom. For Example in a demo they were showing thee guy putting grass on fire with a flamethrower. In Far Cry 2 there is so much gun selection. Flamethrower, Rocket Launcher , AK-47 and more. The Map Editor has anything you can think of. There is a interview of the creator of this game and he tells you all about. If you were wondering it is called Far Cry 2 Map Editor Interview. When you shoot a flammable barrel and it explodes it is a huge explosion! The game looks like it was very well made and the creators put a lot of time into it. Now for Resistance 2. There is an amazing video on it and it is called Resistance 2 Boss Fight. Resistance 2 has very intense and fun filled Coop missions. The single player is very high paced as well. Resistance 2 has some of the best boss fight you will ever see and probably will ever play! The single player campaign is different then the Coop campaign. That's awesome because then you won't be bored of playing the same thing! Resistance 2 is a lot gorier than the first Resistance. Resistance 2 is realistic because the majority of the game takes place in the united States! This game looks very good as the boss fights just look outstanding!
If you are in to making maps and having lots of freedom than Far Cry 2 is definitely the game for you. If you like more realistic and boss fight games then Resistance 2 is the game for you.
Personally, Resistance 2 is more my type of game as I am big on killing bosses and I am not a big fan of making my own maps as I like to just play the game!
Resistance 2 is coming out on November 4th 2008!
Far cry 2 is coming out on October 21st 2008!

Underage Olympians?
In the Olympics there was a 14 year old diver from Great Britain! Although he did not place he was fourth place going quarter final. Now you have to be 14 for diving and 16 for gymnastics. There is a controversy going around that some of the Chinese gymnastics are not 16. Nine months ago Chinese news had reported that there were 3 under aged girls that were 13 competing in the Olympic games in gymnastics. The Chinese government said it was a mistake. How could this be a mistake as they train for years for the Olympic games and not know that 3 of the girls are under aged. HMMM sounds suspicious and fishy to me!

Playstation 3 vs Xbox 360
I personally like the PlayStation 3 over the Xbox 360. This is because when you are playing on your PlayStation 3 you can go to google and browse n the internet. On the Xbox 360 you can play online but you can not browse on the internet. The up side about 360 is it is a lot more affordable then the Playstation 3. The PlayStation 3 has better graphics! The wireless ps3 controllers come with a battery charger as the batteries are built in! When you are in the middle of playing your game on the 360 sometimes the controller Will blink and disconnect. So then you have to go get more batteries at the store. The solution for that with the Ps3 is you just plug it tin with the chargers you got with the controllers. Now the Ps3 controllers are $59.99 per controller.
But overall I think it would be cheaper than a 360 because if you keep having to buy batteries for years and years its going to add up! Overall, I think the Playstation 3 is better than the Xbox 360. If you have any comments about this post please do!
Closing Announcement
The 2008 Olympics in Beijing are over. In fact they are having the closing ceremony right now. Our grand total came to 18 medals 3 gold 9 silver and 6 bronze. We beat the medal count in Athens! So maybe in 2012 we will even beat this grand total! Our Canadian Olympians did great as they got lots of medals but also they represented Canada well. These Olympians always had a smile on their face no matter what. Way to go Canada! You represented well!
Latest News!
After Losing in the Mens K-1000 metres Adam Van Koeverden was very dissapointed with himself as he came 8th out of 9 racers. The last summer olympic games he won ronze in Athens. Anyway, In the Mens K-500 metre race Adam Van Koeverden pulls out a silver medal! That takes our grand total of 3 golds, 9 silver, and 6 bronze! That is very good considering last summer olympics we only got 13 medals and in the first week of the games we had 0 medals!
The Golds!
In this post I will tell you all of the athletes who have gotten gold medals this past week. Our Men's Eights rowing team wins gold! Eric Lamaze in Individual Equestrian jumping wins a gold medal! He went in a jump off against a man from Sweden. Not only did he have to jump clear to win gold but it was raining while he was jumping! I am very happy for these Olympians for winning gold!
Silver medalists
In this post I will tell you all of the Canadians who have won silver in the Olympics! In the Men's 3 metre springboard Alexandre Despatie takes the silver. In the Women's 10 metre Platform Emilie Heymans gets the silver. Emilie Heymans was sitting in the gold medal position until the last diver! In Equestrian jumping Team Canada takes the silver after being defeated in a jump off by the United States. Personally, I do not think it was fair because the Canadians only had three riders throughout this competition but they were supposed to have four as one of team Canada's horses got injured. So in the jump off the United States took there lowest score off as they could only count three scores. In Trampoline Jason Burnett gets silver. Karen Cockburn wins silver in trampoline as well. In the triathlon Simon Whitfield was in fourth place but while he was running the last 100 metres of the triathlon he kicked it up a notch passing two men to get the silver! In Taekwondo Karine Segerie Women's Welter(57-67kg) gets a silver after losing a close match against Korea. Karine really wanted to win gold and was very happy for herself for winning silver but was very unhappy with herself at the same time as she only lost by one point form getting the gold. Maybe she will come back next year even hungrier for that gold medal.
Canada gets on podium!
A lot has happened this week in the olympics for the canadians! In this post i will tell you all the Canadian athletes who won a bronze medal in the olympics. Thomas Hall got a bronze in canoeing! In Men's Lightweight Sculls the men win a bronze medal. Also Women's lightweight Double Sculls got a bronze medallion! In the 1500 metre swimming race Ryan Cochrane got a bronze medal for Canada after battling out with a Russian swimmer for that bronze medal! Priscilla Lopes-Schliep scored a bronze medal in the Women's one hundred metre hurdles and they had to have a photo finish in order to see who got the bronze. Fourth and Fifth place were one-one hndredth of a second behind and Sixth was two one hundredths of a second behind! That was a close one but we still came up on top!
Canada Olympics Exciting News!
What a surprise to wake up on a Saturday morning and find out that Canada has won three medals! Tonya Verbeek won a bronze medal in 55 kg wrestling. Scott Frandsen and Dave Calder won a silver medal in two man rowing. The moment we have all been waiting for....... Carol Huynh won a gold in wrestling! GO CANADA GO!
I will be away for six days for a buisness trip.
So close to getting a medal!
Although Canada has 0 medals right now they are not far from getting one. Our swimmer Mike Brown was only nine one hundredths of a second out of bronze medal position in the 200 metre breastroke and two tenths of a second out of silver medal position. Dylan Armstrong was only one centimetre away from bronze medal position in the final for shotput. Also the Canadian women's soccer team went to overtime with the United States after both of the teams scored one goal in regular time. In overtime the American team scored with 15 minutes out of the 30 to go. The Canadian women's soccer team did very well considering they were ranked 9th in the world and the United States were ranked 1st in the world going in to this match.
