During my Spring Break, I visited the Grand Canyon and Sedona with my host family, the McClung’s. After staying there for 7 days, we took off to spend two nights in Las Vegas. We drove four hours from Sedona and the excitement rose when we finally arrived in Vegas. Thousands of lights, people, music, and big fancy hotels were all I could see. When people talk about Las Vegas, they talk about casinos and gambling. Since I had never been in a real casino before, I could not believe what I saw. All those different people from all over the world were gambling, laughing, singing or taking a drink at the bar. The city serves as world headquarters for the world's two largest Fortune 500 gaming companies, Harrah's Entertainment and MGM Mirage. I really have to say that I especially enjoyed Las Vegas at nighttime because it starts to get really interesting and fun because the lights of all the famous hotels are incredible and worth to look at. I particularly liked the Venetian Hotel because of its fancy style and the restaurant Tao, an Asian restaurant, where we ate dinner the first night. Tao is famous for its good food, excellent service and for the stars that come and enjoy dining there. Our waiter told us, he had served Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Ludacris and many others, what made us feel a little bit special. We had a great time there and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone who is planning on going to Vegas. I always heard people talking about the shows in Vegas and therefore I was very excited when Michael told me, we were going to see the Blue man group on our first night. The show was amazing and I will always remember how much fun we had. The Mirage with the white tigers inside was also a hotel I will definitely remember because I’ve never seen a hotel with an attraction similar to that. A thing, I really enjoy is dining at Hard Rock Café and collecting the different T-shirts because I think it is a great memory to take home to Germany since I do not have one in my area. In the end I have to say that this was one of the most amazing trips I have ever taken and I know this was not my last time that I’m going to visit Las Vegas! www.wikipedia.com |

Health has become more and more important trough out the years, but do people really pay attention to their body and its signals? Nobody wants to be sick or die young because of the consequences of our behavior, but do we really do anything for our health? If the doctor or your mother tells you to take care of yourself then there is a reason for her advice and it’s our tour to follow it. It is necessary to have a strong immune system to protect you from dangerous diseases. The swine flu for example could have killed you because your immune system was already weak before. In comparison other people, who took care of their health all their life, would experience the swine flu as a normal flu without any life risk. To live a long and healthy life we need to pursue a few simple rules. Some of them I show you in the following list. Be always ready for the unexpected and prepare yourself for illnesses. 20 Health tips 1. Drink pure water. Rule of thumb: drink 10 glasses of water through out the day. Your body is 85% water. 2. Fresh juice is the fastest and most natural way to build healthy and strong blood. Use freshly pressed juice, produced from good fruits and vegetables. That means free from molds, preservation materials and put pressure. It should neither be sprayed nor superimposed. 3. Eat a lot of vegetables. Live mostly vegetarian. Fish and meat are only good for you in small amounts (1-2 times a week) 4. Take deep breaths. Every single cell of your body needs oxygen. Walking trough the forest does not only give you a lot of oxygen but also time to relax. 5. Much movement, especially stretching keeps you in shape. Do moves and sports on a daily basis and keeping on to it. 6. Water therapy is the fastest, strongest and most effective way to build up the blood cycle. Shower alternately with cold and hot water. This process strengthens the immune system. 7. Cloth made out of natural products is breathable. Therefore wear cotton, wool, canvas, silk and other natural sources. Your skin needs to breath. 8. Give the priority to natural makeup products. Only use natural cleaning products for your body and household. Nothing else. The organism can not deal with chemical substances. On a continuous application it is damage to health. 9. Don’t let media influence you with commercials and disaster reports. Just turn off the TV; your eyes will be thankful as well. 10. Separate yourself from unnecessary burden. Surely you can get rid of one third of your possession. 11. Love Life. Love yourself and the people around you. 12. If you have psychologically problems speak about it to someone. Talking can solve most of the worries. 13. Always be helpful. If you help your fellow men during the day it will make you a lot more happy and satisfied. 14. Laugh more and you will have even more energy. A good laugh a day keeps the doctors away. 15. Make love not war. 16. Listen to your soul. It’s not always but the mind says, you need to listen to your inside. Be your own guide and trust in your ideas. 17. Practice tolerance and patience. 18. Plan your free time as well as your school work/ job. 19. Believe in peace and harmony. That way you stay relaxed Old practices won’t change all the sudden. Try and be patient with yourself and others. You can do it if you really want to. |

Deadpool, Lady Deadpool, Head-Pool, Kid-Pool, and Dogpool, these names are going to be the saviors of our universe. You may recognize two of these names from previous articles but the rest you may be wondering “Ok who are they”. We can never forget about Deadpool and his amazing-ness that has spread across almost every issue of the Broncho Express and his alternate zombie universe self HeadPool. Now the others have a lot more back story it’s very long and complicated but I’ll tell you anyway. Deadpool lasted until issue #69, at which point it was relaunched as a new title by Gail Simone with a similar character called Agent X in 2002. This occurred during a line wide revamp of X-Men related comics, with Cable becoming Soldier X and X-Force becoming something else . Simone notes that 'When I took the Deadpool job, the revamp hadn't been planned, so it was a complete surprise. Thankfully, we heard about it in time to make adjustments to the early scripts'. It appeared that Deadpool was killed in an explosion fighting the aristocratic (and telepathic) villain known as the Black Swan. Weeks later, a mysterious figure showed up at the apartment of Deadpool's manager, Sandi Brandenberg. The man took the name Alex Hayden and together they started "Agency X," with Hayden dubbed Agent X after the company. Most believed that Hayden was Deadpool suffering from amnesia. The title character of Agent X was eventually revealed not to be Deadpool and the climax of that series saw the original character restored. Simone left the title after seven issues due to creative differences with the series editor. Deadpool's next appearance came in 2004 with the launch of Cable & Deadpool written by Fabian Nicieza, where Deadpool became partnered with his former enemy, Cable, teaming up in various adventures. This title was canceled with issue #50 and replaced by a new Cable series in March 2008. Deadpool then appeared briefly in the Wolverine: Origins title by writer Daniel Way before Way and Paco Medina launched another Deadpool title in September 2008. Medina was the main series artist, with Carlo Barberi filling in on the first issue after the Secret Invasion tie-in. A new Deadpool ongoing series written by Daniel Way with artist Paco Medina began as a Secret Invasion tie-in. In the first arc, the character is seen working with Nick Fury to steal data on how to kill the Skrull queen Veranke. Norman Osborn steals the information that Deadpool had stolen from the Skrulls, and subsequent stories deal with the fallout from that. Writer Daniel Way explained, "the first thing Osborn does to try and take care of the situation is to bring in a hired gun to take Deadpool down, which would be Tiger-Shark. That would be the standard thing to do, but of course everything about Deadpool is non-standard. So it goes completely awry and Norman has to get more serious about things." The story also sees the return of Bob, Agent of HYDRA, "I don't want the book to become 'Deadpool and Friends' so characters will drift in and out, but Bob was someone I definitely wanted to bring in. It just had to be at the perfect moment and when I was putting this storyline together that moment presented itself.” This all led directly to a confrontation with the new Thunderbolts in "Magnum Opus" which crossed over between Deadpool Vol. 4 #8-9 and Thunderbolts #130-131. Thunderbolts writer Andy Diggle said, "it's a natural progression for Deadpool to go after Norman, and for Norman to send his personal hit-squad after Deadpool. Another ongoing Deadpool series, Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth launched in July 2009, written by Victor Gischler, with art by Bong Dazo. In it Deadpool teams up with the head of the zombie Deadpool from Marvel Zombies 3 and 4.A special anniversary issue titled Deadpool #900 was released in October 2009. It features stories written by several authors, with the main feature written by the original Deadpool series writer Joe Kelly and drawn by Deadpool's creator Rob Liefeld. A third Deadpool ongoing series, Deadpool Team-Up, launched in November 2009 (with issue numbers counting in reverse starting with issue #899), written by Fred van Lente, with art by Dalibor Talajic. This series will feature Deadpool teaming up with different heroes from the Marvel Universe in each issue, such as Hercules It has also been confirmed by Chris Yost that Deadpool will soon join the cast of the new X-Force team. Another Deadpool series, entitled "Deadpool Corps", is scheduled to be released in April 2010. This series is expected to feature alternate versions of Deadpool, consisting of Deadpool, Lady Deadpool (who debuted in Deadpool: Merc with a Mouth #7), Headpool (a.k.a. The zombie Deadpool head), and two new characters; Kidpool, a kid version of Deadpool who uses lightsabers, and Dogpool, a dog version of Deadpool. Deadpool was ranked 182nd on Wizard magazine's list of the Top 200 Comic Book Characters of All Time and ranked 45th on Empire magazine's list of The 50 Greatest Comic Book Characters. |
