Constructive Feedback

Recently, we have been recieving some complaints from our viewers. Although some are constructive (such as post more pictures!) others are not so. The most popular ones are as follows:

1. Change US Colors from Red White and Blue to Cheetah


2. Instead of selection camp, begin an underground fight club to determine team members.


3. Have a badminton tournament.


4. Change the US "mascot" from the eagle to a swan.

While these changes are interesting, some of them are just implausible! First of all, how could we have a badminton tournament without equipment. The mere thought of gathering enough people and raquets, not to mention birdies!, to play with is a logistical nightmare.

Although nothing would please me more than changing the colors to a more "intimidating" and threatening scheme, my complexion works best with red white and blue so I am afraid that I cannot change this either. However, I am working on adopting a cheetah from the African wilderness as the new team pet!

As far as the second complaint goes, I can neither confirm nor deny the rumors of what may or may not have happened this summer nor comment on the plans for this summer.

Finally, I would like to say that I CAN do something about the National Emblem of the United States. As of today, December 16th 2010, I have officially changed National Emblem from the Bald Eagle to the Swan. Your welcome.

PICTURE OF THE DAY:

Chandler Lally as a young tot.

The past two days have passed quickly, like the wind flowing beneath the wings of an eagle. These days have brought with them both great happiness and sorrow for our clan. On Thursday, July 15, the year of the snake, we nearly lost four to the great smoke. An angry fire burst forth from their cookware as the young tribe members tried to stifle the flames by sticking their hands in the fire.


Their bravery and audacidy was rewarded by an end to the cruel fire, however the smoke set off strange, loud noises in the ceilings throughout the entire Residence Inn, and everyone had to be evacuated. Soon, the police and the fire department arrived and swirled in like caped avengers into the young ones' dwelling. The children learned an important lesson about where smoke comes from, and how to better control unpredictable fire's sneaky cousin (smoke). Our clan grew stronger, and we pass each day planning our revenge against fire and its evil cousin.

Food Crimes
The Case:

On Friday, July 16th, a jar of nutella went missing from Christina Bax's custody. She claims the tastey topping must have been stolen but could it be that Miss Bax just didn't want to share....


Suspects:



Rosie ; The most common food crime offender and nutella fiend










Agatha Nowinski; Has the reputation of eating anything and everything she sees, edible or not.











Christina Bax; Although friendly, has a dark side when it comes to sharing deserts (or any type of food for that matter).







Lucy Grinalds; Adores nutella.







I, Faith Richardson, was on the case. First I began my investigation with Bax and Grinalds, L. They seemed clean, but then a little birdie told me that Bax had been eating the nutella earlier and refusing to share. Bax assured me she would have shared, but I wasn't convinced.



Later that day I hit a block. I questioned my worth as a city slicker, and trudged around dejectedly. This was when I hit a break in the case. I saw Rosie and Agatha leaving the boat bay, smiling and giggling, with nutella on their fingers.



Ironically, I found that they had hidden the nutella near the weight scale, the last place anyone would look. I had to give them credit as I cuffed them and read them their rights; it was almost the perfect crime. They could spend life in prison thinking about the severity of their actions.



I returned the nutella to Grinalds, L, because I still didn't trust Bax with it. She seems shady when it comes to desserts. Agatha and Rosie however, could have their just desserts IN PRISON.

THE END



ON THE LIGHTER SIDE
Practice yesterday was the toughest yet. We found ourselves tested with everything we have worked on to this point, and mentally had to hold ourselves composed until we got the weekend off.
