The new downloadable maps are :  The Pit, Broken Steel and Operation Anchorage.

The Pit is really the reaming ruins of Pittsburg.You play as a slave worker trying to collect hidden ingots. These ingots will buy your freedom from the Pit.

Broken Steel is an above ground area where you fight as a team with AI's.The level 20 cap , is now a level 30 cap on this new map.

 Operation Anchorage is where you battle the Koreans . You get to control a super robot of doom.

You can make your own one of a kind weapons. There is a handheld weapon that allows you to shoot with anything you find on the ground. So your ammo can be anything from teddy bears to tin cans. I find this funny...shooting AIs with teddy bears...something cute and fuzzy.  ROFL =)

The Mythic Map Pack is a downloadable pack with three new maps in it . The maps are Assembly , Orbital and Sandbox. Assembly is a Covenant themed map where you fight in a Scareb factory. Orbital is a human themed map of a space station orbiting the planet Earth. The inside of the station is where the battles break out in  hallways on different floors. The map Sandbox is three maps in one. There is the Mid - Area kind of a combination of Sandtrap and Battle Creek . There is the Crypt down below Mid - Area . The Crypt is a big box dungeon. The sky bubble is where you can make platforms in the sky. Great for snipering at players below you. Sandbox is a forge map where you can make anything and move anything you want it to be at .

In this game you play as the first Big Daddy who can think for himself. Big Daddys are big and bulky in their scuba armor. They have a big drill that they use as a weapon against the people of Rapture ,who attack the Sisters you adopt . There is also a Big Sister who is more agile , who protects the city of Rapture . If you collect all the bodies of people you kill she will come and attack you. If you gather all the sisters together she shall be furious at you. You play in a city under water called Rapture. The people that live in Rapture are human and abnormals. You can use weapons other Big Daddys would not think of ; like a hammer gun and plasmids .

 Looks like this 2nd edition of Bioshock is going to rock !

You are fighting terrorists in Russia, an a cargo boat and in war - torn cities . The graphics are so realistic that you feel your actually on the battlefield . The better you are , the better the rewards. The more kills you get the greater the upgrades on the weapons. Upgrades ammo of guns, aim sights on guns , camoflauge that make you a ghost on the battlefield. Perks run silent no one can hear you running up on them. You can do knife kills instead of bashing with your gun like a maniac. Number one tip is always keep moving on the battlefield.

Nickelback opened up the Junos with a brand new song called Something In Your Mouth . A little bit later on in the show they win Group of the Year award . Then they win the Fans Choice award . At the last award Nickelback wins Album of the Year award . Overall Nickelback won the the most awards . Nickelback has over 75 million fans around the world . I like the band Nickelback because their songs are really good uplifting songs .

Halo wars is a smashing succes over 1.1 billion copies have been sold in the past 3 weeks . Also on the online muitplayer there has been over 5.0 billion matchs. Lost Planet 2 has been announced to come out next year . The game Prototype is almost out .

Your body is more than half water. Your blood for instance, is 90 percent water. Your brain is 75 percent water. And there is water in every one of your cells.

You lose about 2 and a 1/2 quarts (2.4 liters) of water a day. Some is lost as urine. Some, as perspiration. Some, when you breathe. But water is usually easy to replace. Every time you eat food, you eat water.

Foods that contain a lot of water are ; tomatoes , oranges, and watermelon.

Did you know that bread is more than one-third water ? Meat is more than half water. And of course, milk and juice are nearly all water, plus natural flavoring and nutrients.

The average cow produces 62 glasses of milk a day. The record-holder is a cow in Indiana. In 1975 she gave more milk in one day than any other cow ever has-372 glasses. Just imagine how tired that prize-winning cow must have been after her record milk-producing day!

Where did foods originally come from ? The answer may not be easy to discover. Consider these familiar foods: Italian pasta actually originatedin China. French croissants ( rolls ) were first made in Hungary. The Irish potato is a native of South and Central America. And the good old American hamburger got its start in Germany - in a town called Hamburg.

Today I want to talk about the game " Killzone 2 " This game is based on a work of fiction. You play as a soldier in a war between the Hellgas and the humans of Earth. The Hellgas attack Earth , you and Earths' army fight them off . Now you and Earths' army takes the fight to the Hellgas home planet Hellgone to attack the Hellgas soldiers. At the begining all the soldiers are told there will be  minor enemy resistance on the planet. You and the men land on flying craft where the soldiers stand on top of it in the wide open, or sit on it. Earths army has tanks and high tech mech battle suits . You can only carry 1 main weapon, so you need to think what weapon you need to keep advancing on the enemy. The Hellgas know that you and the army are coming. They  are well fortified , are dug in and hiding and waiting to ambush the soldiers.

I find it hard to get my teenage son to write . I find if they are excited or concerned about something , they tend to do better. I told him yesterday to think about what he would be blogging about today. LOL...I figured it was going to be another gamer blog. Well surprise, surprise....It was about Africa . To see it for yourself look at the previous blog " Are We Helping Or Hurting Africa ? "  He may have seen something on television that sparked his thoughts. As all he wanted to talk about this morning was what was going on in Africa. I was like write it down, it will be perfect for your blog. He is a great speaker, but his thoughts get jumbled before it reaches paper. So any writing he does makes me proud !

Canada and U.S.A send humanitarian aid to Africa. They build schools to help teach the children. The Rebels grab the children from the schools and burn the schools . They want the children for soldiers and the male adults get taken for blood diamond mining. Some of the food , water and medical supplies that are going to the villages that need it, get stolen. The Rebels steal it or destroy it if they cant have it for themselves. With the schools all the children of the village are in the school making it easier for the Rebels to get more soldiers. Because of the schools the Rebels get all the children in one swoop and their new soldiers are more smarter.

 In my Opinion : The answer to the question is we are hurting Africa and fueling the Rebels with food , water ,medical supplies and more  children soldiers . Hopefully we can find a better solution !

The year is 2531 you are with a army of UNSC soldiers trying to find out what the Covenant are looking for on the planet Harvest. This game is different than the other Halo games. It is not a first person shooter game, it is the first halo strategy game for the Xbox 360 . You can command all UNSC soldiers and vehicles including the Spartans when they were still a team. In this game you will have to outwit the Covenant to take them out with little losses on your side. You shall be fighting the Covenant and the Flood . You can build buildings  that make vehicles , call in air strikes , make factories for resources , call for reinforcements,  call for artillery etc. 

I am looking forward to this game being released this year 2009. I like how the game has evolved to a new gaming experience. GET YOUR GAME ON !

My great grandmother made the most wonderful quilts and rugs. I am thinking of trying my hand at it. You know how clothes gather up in bags as they have large holes or are worn out. Like the crotch in a pair of blue jeans...LOL...The rag bag !

I do not own a sewing machine as I am not a great sewer. I can however mend small things by hand. I have made toppers for windows.

Youtube has videos on all sorts of sewing ideas and making rag blankets etc..

I have gathered this info on making Rag Rugs :
