The Excited Time in my Life

Article posted December 8, 2011 at 12:10 AM GMT0 • comment • Reads 895

Hi i'm Doug Hoo and i'm going to tell you about the most exciting time in my life. It was when I ran a 20 mile Marathon with only 2 breaks. It was the hardest thing I ever done. It all started on a breezy summer day, I was going to the store to buy so shorts. When a flyer hit me smack dab on the nose . I got a really bad paper cut but that's not the point. I picked up the paper and read it it said come join us for a 20 mile marathon. 20 thousand dollar prize for first place winner. So that was when I thought to my self "I have to enter and win to buy my wife a new ring". So the next day I went to the park were the race started and their were 4 other people there and they said "good luck chump". That's when I said "you will see when I win the race". They said " what ever". The refs said "get ready set go". The race started and I was in the lead but the others weren't so far behind. We were to the point were we had ran 10 miles all ready I was still in the lead. Then next thing I know I'm in third place. Know we have ran 19 Miles I can see the finish line then bam I get back In first Place and win. I was so tired after but I did it. That's the time I ran A twenty mile Marathon.

Balloon Chip Bag Results

Article posted May 11, 2011 at 09:55 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 608

Balloon Experiment Results Description: On my class's payload we are going to tape a green balloon that is a quarter full of air a blue balloon that is half full of air and a orange balloon that is about as full as can be of air we are also going to tape a small bag of Cheetos to the payload. Next, we will send the payload up over 100,000 feet on high altitude balloon. Hypothesis: Green Balloon - I don't think that the green balloon that is on the payload will pop because it has enough room to expand. The green balloon did not pop but got pretty close to popping. The green balloon got so big that it was about the size of are pay load. Then on the way down it slowly shrunk down to the size it was at the beginning. Blue Balloon – I think the blue balloon will pop because if it gets more air it will pop. Ok I don't known how high the blue balloon popped at but it popped over 80,000. But it got bigger and bigger in tell it could not take the pressure and then it went pop=http://=http://=http://=http://=http://=http://=http://=http://=http://=http://=http://=http://=http://=http://! went the balloon. Orange Balloon – I think the orange balloon will pop because it is filled to were if it gets more air it will pop and the pressure will make it pop. OK the orange balloon pop at a low altitude because it was filled to about to its popping point. Bag of Chips – I don't think the bag of Cheetos will pop because last year we put hot Cheetos on are payload and they did not pop so that is why. The bag of chips did not pop but it was going to but it had so much pressure that it made a little hole so it did not pop. And here is a pic of the holes.

I live in Sparks, Nevada and My high hopes for my school are that we can have more computers, more recess, better food, nicer substitutes, a PE teacher, and nap time. My high hopes for my community are that people use cars less so there will be less pollution in the air, another one of my high hopes in that people will lower prices for poor people, another one of my high hopes is that there will be less crime so people can be safe, and my last high hope is that people will stop littering and start recycling. My high hopes for the world are that that there will be less war going on in the world, That the people in japan will recover from the earthquake and tsunami, more oil will be found, That hattie will rebuild there country, that dictates will change there ways, and that there will be money for the poor that don't have money or food.

The History Of Balloons

Article posted April 5, 2011 at 10:25 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 248

The next month he was one of two men to make the first free flight in a hot-air balloon, ascending to a height of about 300 feet (984 meters) over Paris, France, on November 21, 1783, for twenty-five minutes.The hot-air balloon was invented by Joseph-Michel Montgolfier (1740–1810) and his brother Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier (1745–1799), who were French paper makers. They launched their balloon on June 5, 1783, in Annonay, France. Their invention, which was filled with heated air, ascended for about ten minutes. Three months later they sent a duck, a sheep, and a rooster up in a balloon. The success of this flight prompted them to attempt a human launching. In October 1783, the French scientist Jean-Francois Pilatre de Rozier (1756–1785) became the first person to make a balloon ascent, though it was tied down for safety. The hot-air balloon was invented by Joseph-Michel Montgolfier (1740–1810) and his brother Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier (1745–1799), who were French paper makers. Manned Hot Air Balloon Flight Begins
Although the flight lasted only 20
minutes, a new industry had emerged The first true manned attempt at hot air ballooning came about later on the 21st November, 1783 with a balloon
made by 2 French brothers, Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier in Paris, France.  In these early days of ballooning, the English Channel was
considered the first step to long distance ballooning so this was a large benchmark in ballooning history .Long Distance Hot Air Ballooning
Just 2 years later in 1785 a French balloonist, Jean Pierre Blanchard, and his American co pilot, John Jefferies,became the first to fly across the English Channel. His balloon was tethered to the ground, and he used a telegraph.   Thaddeus
Lowe sent messages to the ground accurately directing artillery fire over 4 miles.  Civil War Balloons
From 1861-1865, hot air balloons were used to spy on enemies and to direct battles from the air How did he do this from 100
feet up? Of course, after he set the record, many people after him went
higher and higher. Hot Air Balloon Altitude Record
Auguste Picard of Switzerland set the first Hot Air Balloon Altitude record with a flight which topped out at a still
incredible 52,498 feet (over TEN MILES HIGH!). 
higher and higher.
The current Hot Air Balloon flight altitude record is held by Vijaypat Singhania of Bombay, India.  He achieved a
height of 68,986 feet (21,027m) on November 26, 2005.

It is a skateboarding game it is really fun you pick if you want two players or one player. You pick a skater and then you pick a place were you want to skate. Next you pick a mode like if you want free skate and there is also a mode called combo mambo. It is were the one with the best combo wins. And there is free skate is were you can skate no time or any thing and you can go any were you want. So then me and my friend were playing combo mombo to see who could get the best combo my friend Dillon went first. He did a lot of tricks and he got a score of 1689 and I thought I would never beat that scorer I did every thing I knew how to do it was hard but I did it I beat Dillon my score was 1800. He is the best of my Friends and I beat him that is like winning an award to me and my Friends.
So then we asked my grandma to take us to the park and she said yeah so we put up the game and got ourskateboards. So on the way we ran in to my cousin Jasmine and went to the park. On the way there we got to this huge hill and started to go down but I was new at skateboarding so I was going too fast and I did not know how to stop. I fell off the skateboard and did like ten barrel rolls I was so scared I thought I was going to die. When I was done going down the hill my friend Dillon came to help me and I was very happy that my friend helped me.

My Train Track Story

Article posted March 11, 2011 at 07:35 PM GMT0 • comment • Reads 387



One day in 1840 my friends and I got on a supposedly haunted train to see if it was really haunted. So we said our good bye's to our parents and got on the train. So as the train was moving we got robbeed by some bandits on horses they robbed us with toy baseball bats. They looked scary with the toy baseball bats one of them came up to me and ask for all my money. I said leave me and my friends alone and he hit me In the head and knocked me out I was knocked out for five minutes. Ween I woke up thats when I noised that my friend named Anthony was gone. So I asked my friends what happened to Anthony and they said he made fun of the robbers and said some bad stuff about them and they got mad and kid napped him.

They said we have to pay them if we ever want to see him again. So me and my friends got in are ninja suits and put on are gear and went of to find are friend. We were out in the hot desert running about 10 miles and hour. We searched for hours and finally after five hours we decided to catch up with the train.

To tell the conductor what happened but the problem was there was no conductor the train was really haunted those people weren't lining about the train being haunted. The train was moving by its self so me and my friends tried to move the train but we couldn't it keep going we thought are friend was gone forever but then we was back on the train.

So I asked him how he did it and he said he made a deal with the robbers to scare us. We were mad at him I punched him and we started to fight but are friends broke it up. When they weren't looking me and my friend went back to fighting I got him in a choke hold and I asked him why would he do that. and he reversed the choke hold and then I reversed it and I asked him again why he did it and he said it was a joke and I told him how he almost made us blow are cover cause we were ninjas and a man almost saw us and if he did he would have told the cops and do u really want that to happen he said no so. He also told us he was the conductor he told us to get of the train because he had horses under the bridge and we got off the train and headed home. To Be continued.
