Survivor Is Still One Of The Best Compeition Shows

Thanks for the post from Stan Atkins

On Thursday nights, the http://www.expertsatellite.com are taken advantage of in our house is tuned into one of the best Prime Time Competition Shows around: Survivor. This is really the show that started it all so many years ago. Of course, the contestants get dropped off in the middle of nowhere and are left to fend for themselves. While a basic food, like rice, is usually given to the contestants, who are usually split into two teams called tribes, they have to find their own steady supply of food. Plus, they must make their own fire and usually have to boil water before drinking it. The conditions the players must endure are usually very difficult.

But what makes Survivor such a great show is the challenges. The reward challenges are usually for some great food or sight seeing experience and the immunity challenges are for staying safe from being voted off the show, but just the activities the folks have to do is what really separates Survivor from the average competition show. Sometimes the challenges reward physically strong competitors, sometimes the fastest, but sometimes the smartest and most clever rise to the top. Survivor is one of those games that requires several different qualities from the players, but the really trick is to pull the whole thing off while you are starving. This is just a great show to check out, and a lot of fun to see what creative games the folks come up with.

Heat Advisory

Today in Iowa we are in a warning for an extreme heat advisory. We are suppose to have a heat index of around 105 - 110 degrees. I am ready for summer and warm temperatures to begin, however, I am not sure I want it to be that hot. Not only are the temps going to extreme, I think we are suppose to have some very high humidity. If thats the case I had better finally turn on the A/C, especially if I don't want Alli to be crabby. She does not like the humidity.

Sunshine

The weekend has finally arrived and I am hoping with it's arrival we will get to see a little sunshine. This week started out with record breaking high temperatures and the next day it was 30 plus degrees cooler. I woke up this morning to the sun trying to show itself, however the clouds have now taken over. The weekends are so much more fun when the sun is shining and the weather is perfect for being outside.

Seasame Street

My three year old daughter Dru is watching Seasame Street this morning. She usually doesn't watch this program, however, today she seems to be enjoying it. This program sure has changed since I watched it as a kid. For one thing we didn't have Elmo's World, which is what is on right now. It is kinda of annoying the way Elmo talks in the third person all the time. Elmo does provide good learning though. Another change since my childhood would have to be Abby's Flying Fairy School. Dru also seems to enjoy Abby and her school gang. They always manage to get into some type of trouble, but they always seem to find a solution to help get themselves out of it, teaching a lession to the viewers.

Topamax

I had never heard of Topamax until a lady at work started using this prescription drug for her migraine headaches. At first all went well for her and she started improving a little bit on her migraines. After about three or four months of using Topamax she started experiencing some pretty bad side effects of this drug, the most significant was drastic hair loss. She finally decided she needed to stop taking Topamax because of the hair loss but she was also concerned about other side effects she may not have been aware of. O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath are attornies in the Austin, TX area that qualified to help with any type of Topamax lawsuit, especially if your unborn child was injured because of this harmful drug.

Summer Is Here

The summer holiday season is finally upon us, and with that comes a new set of rules for the house. For some reason when there is no school my children think they can stay up as late as they want, do what ever they want, and stay out as late as they want. My son's favorite quote so far this summer has been "what else is summer for if I can't hang out with my friends and as late as I want". I guess he doesn't understand that he is a part of a family that does have rules, but when your 16 you always think you know it all. I guess he is in for a surprise when he has to hang with his parents and sisters.

Softball

Tonight Becca has her second softball game of her fifth grade season. They will play a doubleheader and she is so excited. Becca is hoping to play shortstop or secondbase. These are the positions she played last Friday night when it was so beastly hot outside. Tonight is the exact opposite, it is so cold we will be wearing jeans, sweatshirt, and snuggling in a blanket. Last week Becca never got a hit. I hope tonight she is more confident and will take the ball for a great ride.

Topamax Lawsuit

There is nothing in the world that compares to the birth of a child, it is the most amazing feeling in the world. The only thing that can possibly go wrong is when you hear those dreaded words that there is something wrong or there are complications. One situation where these words could be spoken is if during your pregnancy Topamax was taken and now your newborn baby is born with a cleft palate or maybe something even worse. Fortunatly there is O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath whose attorneys are available to help with this situation. They understand that Topamax could be the reason for your childs issues and they are ready to help with any liability claims that may be needed. If you need to file a Topamax lawsuit and live in the Austin, TX area please give them a call.

Crazy Weather

Wow, this week has had some really crazy weather. The weekend and beginning of this week started off with record high temperatures. Over 100 degrees in some area's along with very high wind speeds. Now today it is very cold. Jeans and sweatshirts are definitely needed. I just don't understand why we cannot have a happy medium. Tonight we will be going to Becca's softball game and we will probably need blankets to help us keep warm. Crazy.
