The “Crude Awakening” article is about how much of the world’s oil supply is left. Some main points and facts are:

• Oil is the most important item traded between countries.
• 90% of the world’s transportation petroleum.
• That 90% also concerns thousands of products made from oil.
• Saudi Arabia has the most barrels of oil, 261 billion barrels.
• Mexico has the least barrels of oil, 15.7 billion barrles.
• The natural gas fields in Iran, Qatar, Russia, Turkmensistan could fuel the world for over 50 years.

If I had to guess when the world’s oil supply would run out I would guess about 400 years if we live the same way we do right now. I would guess this because if Iran, Qatar, Russia, and Turkmenistan could fuel the world for about 60 years, Saudi Arabia could fuel it for about 80 years also. After I added that I added other countries for about 150 years, then all the other countries for about 210 years as the most. Then I got about 400.

The new 30GB I-pod and 80GB I-pod have became very popular for people all over but do you think it is worth the price?Yes, they both can hold photos, music videos, movies, television shows, games, and music, but is it still worth the price? At The Apple Store the 30GB is $249.00 and the 80GB is $349.00, $100.00 more. At Wal-Mart the 30GB is $248.44 and the 80GB is not listed. At Radio Shack the 30GB is $249.99 and the 80GB is $349.99. And last, at Best Buy the 30GB is $249.99 and the 80GB is not listed.

I would rate this I-pod out of 1-10 i would rate it a 6 because my cousin got a 30GB and she had to ship it in to the Apple company in California to fix it 4 days after she got it. My aunt got a 80GB for her birthday and recommended it for it’s quality but it is not worth the price. What do you think? What would you rate it out of 1-10? 10 being the highest.

Dear Cheryl,                                                                   1-9-1938 Sadly are first president of Turkey just passed. His name was Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. He was a succesful milatary commander while serving as a division commander in the Battle of Gallipoli. Mustafa led the Turkish National Movement, this would become the Turkish War of Independance.  On November 24th, 1934 The Turkish National Assembly presented Mustafa Kemal with the surname meaning “Father Turk”, Ataturk.  Our latest president was born in 1881 and passed away on November 10th, 1938, He was in the Pebublican People’s Party.  Mustafa Kemal gave us females independance by letting us go to school, vote, and recieve jobs. He also changed our writing, this was a signifigant accomplishment.  In 1937 Mustafa’s health was decreasing. In the beginning of 1938 he encountered serioius illness. In May he was reccommended to go to Istanbul for recovery and treatment he was last diagnosed with cirrhosis in the liver  in Istanbul. 2 months later Ataturk died at 57 years old. I’m sure many people miss him andmany won’t forget how much he has helped us all.

I prefer Elmo over Tigger because Elmo is very optimistic, joyful, fun, caring, and overall he is cute. Today right before I posted this, this popped up on my computer, http://www.exclusivegiftsforyou.com/rd_p?p=154096&c=24173-egfy_elmotmz_emc_d32&a=283 Maybe in our 6th grade’s opinion Tigger is better, but around the world, apparently Elmo is one of the hottest toys, not the new “bouncy, trouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun” Tigger toys. Elmo has many songs, as you can go here and see the lyrics to some, you can see they are full of laughter and joy. http://members.tripod.com/Tiny_dancer/sselmo.html Elmo photos, in some you can see how caring Elmo is. http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Sands/4588/phindex.htm Even though this song has nothing to do with Elmo, my dog likes it, here are some of the song on “Sesame Street.”http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/mediaplayer.asp?ean=696998603028&disc=1&track=17 Although some Elmo toys like this one isn’t as well. You should read the reviews, this is why I am putting this up, the reviews state that Elmo is GREAT!!! Read them and search I’ll search a little more and post some more facts on why I prefer Elmo over Tigger.
