Rodeo parade spectators watched in horror Thursday as a 5-year-old girl — three years younger than the event's minimum age. She was thrown off her mount and trampled by an out-of-control team of horses pulling a wagon. She later died. This is a very sad event and one that should have been prevented in the first place. In a way the parents are the blame for this incident because they knew the age limit and they still allowed their daughter to participate in this event.

Intrepid-resolutely fearless; dauntless

British Prime Minister Tony Blair plans to withdraw nearly half of his country's 7,200 troops from Iraq by the end of 2007, according to media reports. I think that this means that the British Prime minister finally realized that this is an American war. They finally realized that if they keep their troops down there they are just killing off innocent people that have no reason being down there in the first place. According to people on the news this morning the British are just a part of an civil war inside of Iraq that no outside army or country can win.

Inexorable-not to be
Read the article at this link and write a blog discussing what you have read and your opinion on what it expresses.
I think this is a very interesting article that makes us look dumb in a way. For example the hand levitation part instead of doing a trick you could just ask "what time is it?" And the person's hand will go up. So its done in such a clever way that a simple person wouldn't really figure these out without relly being focused on it. The mentality of this article is to do a simple favor and in return ask for a bigger favor that out does your favor. So it basically highlights the ways that people manipulates us without us realizing it.

Read the blog entitled truth behnd valentines located at this link and write a bolg about it.
There might be some truth behind this because some of it contains some convincing ideas. But how is she able to know all these reasons of what romance is. Why does she believed that romance serves a larger political purpose by offering at least a temporary reward for gender roles and threatening rebels with loneliness and rejection. So in a way I think what she is saying is BS cause she is using her own opinion on this lovely day. And she thinks that because she had some very bad experiences on valentines day or she's just been lonely every valentines day.

A deadly string of three explosions ripped through sections of central Baghdad around midday Monday, killing at least 71 people and wounding more than 170 others, police said. This was very traumatic and its leaving alot of families crying and mourning right now.Iran on Monday rejected U.S. accusations that the highest levels of Iranian leadership have armed Shiite militants in Iraq with armor-piercing roadside bombs. A day after U.S. military officials in Baghdad said they had traced the weapons to Tehran. This just a case of them trying to keep a good image and stay away from war with the US.

Floodwaters have forced more than 270,000 Jakarta residents from their homes, as the death toll from the natural disaster climbed to 25 Monday, according to the capital's flood crisis center.This story is kind a good seeing the fact of how many people that got forced out their homes and how much died.MEXICO CITY — For most people, even the smallest bite of a raw chili pepper means a flushed face and a rush for a gulp of water. But Manuel Quiroz can guzzle down dozens of Mexico's spiciest chilies, rub them on his skin and even squeeze their juice into his eyes without so much as blinking. This Mexican is very crazy because he finds it fun to eat a whole bunch of chili peppers just to have a world record. And he does it in such a fashion that he doesn't really need to drink water while he is doing it.
