Colorado Rockies Beat San Francisco Giants

Last night the Rockies showed what their offence was really capable of to secure a win over the Giants by scoring 17 runs to the Giant's 8. The Rockies really showed their fans that opening day is not going to be representative of the season. On the Home Opener the Rockies were shut down by the Giants losing 7 to 0! Second game in the series was different. The Rockies played strong defence and incredible offence. The game was exciting with the Rockies at bat even without any home runs. I am so glad baseball season is back! GO COLORADO ROCKIES!

Adeline Gray Working Towards Gold

So the weekend of the 20th my sister, Adeline Gray will be going to Iowa City for Olympic Trials. I am so proud of what she has done so far at only 21 years old. She is so amazing! Adeline has a very very great chance of being the Olympian for the United States Women's Freestyle Wrestling Team at 63 kg. Adeline will be competing all day long wrestling to make the final matches where she will face the number one girl in her weight class, Elena Pirozhkova, who sits out all day until the finals because she won the World Team Trials. Elena is 26 years old and has more experience on the Olympic Circuit than Adeline, but I believe that Adeline will beat Elena best two out of three matches to claim her title as the youngest U.S. Olympic Wrestler. No matter win or lose Adeline is an incredible athlete and will show how strong she is and how hard she has worked her whole life to get to this point. Keep your eyes out for Adeline Gray because she will be shocking the world!

Feed Your Mood

There is a new pill out there to make your mood better. There are just key ingredients that your body needs to be happier. The example used in the article was cars. You should not put diesel in a Ferrari so you should only put good things in your body. I agree we should eat healthy, but now there is a pill you take in the morning that will improve your mood. I wonder how much of this study was just the placebo effect. I kinda want to see if it works. Check out the article here.

Smoking made Non Deadly

I think that this electronic smoking thing sounds awesome! I personally do not smoke and I am not really a big fan of smoking, but I do understand that people love it and are addicted to it. I don't care if they smoke or not I just thought that this little gadget sounded cool. You still get nicotine with out the smell or risks of normal smoking. They are also cost effective! Check them out HERE!

Not Dead

This is crazy! I know people make mistakes, but this is a big one for paramedics. Is he dead or not? In Australia paramedics pronounced a guy dead after a bad car accident, but when the coroner went to collect the body, he found a pulse. The guys was not dead! He was left for an hour or more alive while everyone else thought he was dead! Crazy stuff!

Autism Awareness Month

April is Autism Awareness Month! A new study came out last Friday claiming 1 in 88 kids suffer from Autism. That is up from 1 in 110 kids from last year. Studies are showing a 23 percent increase in children diagnosed with Autism in the last two years. My neighbor helped out with Autistic kids at the nearby elementary school and I have so much respect for her and those kids she helps. There are a ton of different levels of Autism, but it is still a debilitating disease that affects every aspect of life for those that suffer from it. Therapy is really starting to help children with Autism, but not the level we hope. Only about 10 percent are showing noticeable difference in behaviors with therapy. But show your support by wearing blue, putting in a blue porch light, and learn more about autism at autismspeaks.org.



                 

IPad Envy

The new IPad is so cool. I got to play around on one this weekend and could not believe how nice it really was. I have always asked if the product was worth the cost and I am begging to think that this IPad may be. I want one! If I had the money I would have one already. I had a blast playing the different games, checking Facebook, and going through ITunes. I was impressed at how great the screen quality was and how responsive the touch screen was. I was looking into them a bit more and found this article and can see why it is rated number one!
