Portuguese and Spanish Sailors

So you have probably already heard about Christopher Columbus, the man who went to the america's. Some of you may think he was the first one there but there was this viking called Lief Erikson that went to the america's before him. His intention was to go to India and trade spices for gold and stuff but he didn't know that North America and South America were there when he set off in 1492. He set off with three ships their names were Nina, Pinta, and the Santa maria. Another sailor went to the america's after Colombus and he was the first one to figure out that the land the Colombus found was not India but were something different.

People called this land America after Amerigo his name. There was also a sailor called Magellan. He wanted to go to India the way the Colombus did, through Chile and out the other way. So he went and couldn't find a way through Chile untill he was really close to the bottom and when he went there it was stormy and it took him over a month to go through it. It was named after him, The Straits of Magellan. But when he got to the other side it was very calm so he named it calm which means Pacific in Spanish. When he got to the other side he got to some Islands near China but that wasn't India. Then he got to the Philippians, that wasn't India either but when he got there one of the leaders of a tribe asked him to fight in a battle to help him but Magellan was killed by a poison's arrow, he died there and never got to India. But his Lieutenant finished his journey for him. They started with 5 ships and a lot of people but was left with one ship and about thirty men.

The Dark is Rising book.

So I have just finished the Dark is Rising book. It is a really interesting book that was written by Susan Wise Cooper. It starts with three children that move to a house that they call the grey house. They have two parents and a great uncle and a house maid. I am going to tell you about what I liked in the book so I am basically skipping threw it. So I liked the part when they found the map in the attic and they were pretending that people were trying to get them, imagination is always fun. I also like when Great Uncle Merry lifted Jane in his arms and protected the children from harm. I also liked how Barney was always aware of everything especially when Misses Palk went into his bedroom. I liked that Simon always wanted to be the leader. And I liked how Jane cared about everyone. I also liked how Rufus barked. Overall it was a great book intense at some parts and sometimes just relaxing. I liked it a lot.

Magista Opus Soccer cleats

So recently I have shipped some Magista Opus soccer cleats. I did some research on these soccer cleats and some people say they are better then the Magista Obra because the Obra causes blisters and pressure marks for some players. The Opus was not bought that much because Nike released the Obra'ss with it so most people went for the Obra's because they were mid cut and looked cooler. The Magista Obra's sell for a retail price of  $275 while the Opus's are $200, the people thought that seventy five dollars is worth the mid cut model. But the Opus's are lighter, have the same amazing touch and are $75 less and they are also more comfortable. They have the same stud pattern and overall I think they are better. The Opus is made with Kangalite, performance mesh, and Nike skin. The Kangalite is also used on the CTR360 and the Magista Orden. I am getting the Magista Opus in Dark Citron color. They both have the all conditions control sign on them.

Orange candle

So recently I have been doing some science expirments. One of these I really liked. It is an orange hat is a candle too. Here are some pictures of it.

 Now I will tell you how I made it. So first I took an orange I cut about a half inch in and then took one of the pictures and I took the orange out but I left the thing that suck up. Then I put olive oil inbetween and on the stork and then I lit it on fire!!

Uefa Champions league

So recently the Uefa champions league has been going on. I have watched some of it but not all of that qualifying stuff that doesn't really matter.:)
But I watched the round of sixteen and after that. Here are the games that were played. Oh and also in the Uefa champions league there are two games so that both of the teams play because then each of them get to play a home and away game. Ok here are the games.


Paris SG 2                              Benfica 1                         Gent           2                      Roma              0                                                  
                     
Chelsea   1                               Zenit     0                         Wolfsburg 3                      Real Madrid  2       



Arsenal             0                      Jeventus             2            PSV Eindhoven  0            Dynamo Kyiv   1

FC Barcelona  2                      Bayern Munich  2            Atlético Madrid     0            Man City             3

Wolfsburg  1                           Real Madrid  2              Zenit                    1            Chelsea               1

Gent            0                           Roma              0              Benfica                2             Paris SG            2

Dynamo Kyiv 0                    PSV Einghoven     0  (7)  Jeventus               2               Arsenal           1

So that was the round of sixteen I was voting for Real Madrid an Jeventus but Jeventus lost in over time vs Bayern munich. Now I can show you the quarterfinals.

FC Barcelona   2                Bayern Munich 1             Paris SG   2                           Wolfsburg      2

Atletico Madrid 1                Benfica               0             Man City  2                           Real Madrid    0

Man City  1                        Real Madrid       3            Benfica              2                 Atletico Madrid 2

Paris SG    0                       Wolfsburg             0            Bayern Munich  2                 Fc Barcelona       0

So that is the quarterfinals and this time I was voting for Real Madrid again and they made it threw because of Ronaldo's Incredible hat trick vs Wolfsburg in the second leg. Now I will show you the Semi Final.

Man City       0                   Atletico Madrid  1

Real Madrid  0                   Bayern Munich   0 

And today Bayern Munich is playing Atletico Madrid home game for Bayern now, and tomorrow Man city vs Real madrid and this time Ronaldo will play again because he had a thigh injury vs man city in the first leg.
