Last post on the Zilker blog. I was thinking about maybe starting a blog for the 2011 Zilker graduates. I looked on the comment for my last post and Rose said she could not make it to the Barton Springs pool thing so I decided to make it every Thursday, Friday, or Saturday! If I decide to make a 2011 Zilker grads blog I will continue to post and hopefully all the others. If The 2011 zilker Grads blog gets started today or tomorrow I will ask Ms. Pena, Ms. Ogren, Ms. Thompson to spread the blog info through out the 3 classes! Hope to keep posting!

BYE ZILKER PEEPS!!!:(

Ps that hopefully make you cry!

I have known most of you since kindergarten, now I will have to remember all of the great memories we have shared. We have made new friends in the past year and we have also been holding on to old friends since kindergarten. We will all greatly miss friends that we shall try to hold on to as we have done since Kindergarten. You will notice over the next few years that everyone goes in different ways. I hope to keep in touch with everyone from our family at Zilker Elementary School. For those that only arrived at Zilker this year I wish you could have had the experiences that most of us hold. Farewell friends old and new);

Hi, I had a really good time at the "Sock Hop" yesterday. It was like a mixture of coolness, scariness, and sweaty kids running around being goofballs. Now that I've talked about the Sock Hop I must start talking about HAVING FUN! The Peter Pan Mini Golf course is fun and challenging for all ages. If you would like to play 1 course (18 holes) it will cost around $6.00. If you would like to play both courses (36 holes) it will cost $9.00. For children 5 and under it costs $2.00 less on both courses. It is very fun and they even have a gigantic bunny, peter pan, turtle and a gigantic t- rex! If you are looking for something to do when it is dark outside you should go to the South Congress bridge. Just around dusk the bats will fly out from under the bridge. It is really beautiful and anyone will enjoy it! If you have a younger sibling or relatives from out of town this is a must see place in Austin if you have never seen a bat.

I hope you enjoy Peter Pan Mini Golf and the bats at the South Congress Bridge!

PS I am starting a "Zilker Group" at Barton Springs pool tonight from 9- 10pm! Please show up if you want to have the best night of your lives. Make sure you tell everyone you know and bring towels swimsuits and lots of friends! I hope to see YOU there!!!!!

If you are looking for something fun to do on the weekends or in the summer, listen to me! Last time I posted about the fountains at Palmer Events Center Park, and Bubble Tea at Toy Joy. The Austin Children's museum is really fun even though we are not quite children. Even my parents liked it! Think about it, if I am sitting here listening to the Gorillaz (I love the Gorillaz) and this place rings a bell it must be cool! They have arts and crafts stations set up and places where you can make music and stuff like that! If you are there and are feeling like a dork well maybe this will make you feel better: last time I was there these hipster- skater guys pulled up in their motorcycles and started having a good time. The message here is if hipster- skater guys riding motorcycles started having a good time at a little kids museum, you should too. Something else you should do on a sunny day is go down to Lake Austin and SUP (Stand Up Paddle boarding) or kayak or swim. If you have a party boat with swim decks on the back, that would be fine to take out also! If you are scared to go swimming in the chilly water here is some advice: don't tell anyone that you are afraid to jump in because you are basically asking to get pushed in by your best friend. Make sure you wear sunscreen because if you don't the sunburns are the type that turn bright red and start to peel and hurt a lot! I hope you enjoy the Children's Museum or Lake Austin! But until next time.... I hope you have a great day!

Hi sorry I haven't posted in awhile, I've been having lots of stress because of you guys! I would really like it if you would stop pestering people about being the Zilker Fashionista. I'm not going to tell you who I am until the end of the year so why keep asking. More people read my blog to know who I am rather then the big picture...fashion! So I really want you to just stop pestering people!
I really liked Zoe's dress that she wore today, her messy braid went perfect and gave of a busy yet fashionable student. The dark navy blue went perfect with her skin tone too. Write and tell me some of your favorite outfits.
I will be at the Sock Hop, watch out my mask is going to be AWESOME! I can't wait to see what fashion dares you all make.

Hi. If you are looking for something fun during the weekend or summer listen to me! Last time I posted about Barton Springs and the Zilker Botanical Gardens. Next to the Palmer Events Center there is a park. Inside the park there are these holes in the ground and they shoot water out of the little holes. It is extremely fun to run through and it is FREE! Make sure you bring a swimsuit, sunblock and some towels. Heads up: the water is usually just right or extremely cold! If you are thinking about going I would recommend it be an all day thing. If you don't have time during the day, that is perfectly fine. You can go during the night also! It is really cool during the night because they turn on different colored lights by the fountains and they change colors as water comes out of the holes! I give this place five stars! If you would like something that you can chew and drink at the same time I say go to the best store.... Toy Joy! The Toy Joy on campus has a food and drink bar where you can get the delicious "Bubble Tea". There are numerous flavors to choose from. They range from chocolate lavender to creamy strawberry, peach, mango! My newest favorite is the pineapple, coconut. Bubble Tea is an icy drink with chewy tapioca balls at the bottom. The people at Toy Joy give you a big straw so you can get the tapioca balls. The kid size costs $1.95, the small size costs $2.95, the medium size costs $3.95, and the large size costs $4.95. I hope you enjoy the fountains or Bubble Tea, but until next time I hope you have a great day!

Apple Product of the Day by Scott Morris

2011-05-23T13:49:00.001-05:00

Today, the Apple product of the day is the iMac.

The new iMac of course comes in 27 inches and 21.5 inches. All of the new iMacs are now quad-core, not just the $1,999 model. The iMac includes one Thunderbolt port on the 21.5 inch models, and two Thunderbolt ports on the 27 inch models, which is really cool because you can have up to three displays, (including the iMac) but that's just for the really hardcore movie/photo editors. And of course, like all Macintosh computers, the iMac is very green. The iMac is BFR and PVC free, it has a Mercury free-LED-backlit display. The display glass is Arsenic free, and the iMac has highly recyclable aluminum and glass enclosures. The iMac meets the ENERGY STAR 5.2 requirements, and is rated EPEAT Gold. In the box, you get the iMac, (duh) you have a choice between the Apple Magic Mouse and The Apple Magic Trackpad, (wireless) the power cord, install/restore DVDs, and a printed and electronic documentation. The iMac comes with iLife "11, and Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The camera built in to the iMac is bumped up from the iSight camera to the FaceTime HD camera, which shoots at a stunning HD 720p quality. Apple has done away with the Intel Core i3 processor, and the iMacs only have the i5, but you can configure the $1,499 model to have a 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, and you can configure the $1,999 model to have a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor.
I rate this this computer 5 out of 5 stars, and I really like the iMac and Apple. I'm very sorry to say that this is gonna be the last Apple Product of the day because the blog is being shut down. So if you're looking to buy a new computer you should get the new iMac or the recently refreshed MacBook Pro.

Britney Jean Spears (born December 2, 1981) is an American recording artist and entertainer. Born in McComb, Mississippi and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana, Spears began performing as a child, landing acting roles in stage productions and television shows. She signed with Jive Records in 1997 and released her debut album ...Baby One More Time in 1999. During her first decade within the music industry, she became a prominent figure in mainstream popular music and popular culture, followed by a much-publicized personal life. Her first two albums established her as a pop icon and broke sales records, while title tracks "...Baby One More Time" and "Oops!... I Did It Again" became international number-one hits. Spears was credited with influencing the revival of teen pop during the late 1990s.
In 2001, she released her third studio album Britney and expanded her brand, playing the starring role in the film Crossroads. She assumed creative control of her fourth studio album, In the Zone released in 2003, which yielded chart-topping singles "Me Against the Music", "Toxic" and "Everytime". After the release of two compilation albums, Spears experienced personal struggles and her career went under hiatus. Her fifth studio album, Blackout, was released in 2007 and despite receiving little promotion, it spawned hits "Gimme More" and "Piece of Me". In 2008, her erratic behaviour and hospitalizations caused her to be placed in a conservatorship. The same year, her sixth studio album Circus was released, with the global chart-topping lead single "Womanizer". After embarking on The Circus Starring Britney Spears, she released greatest hits The Singles Collection, which featured U.S. and Canadian number-one single "3". In 2011, Spears returned with her seventh studio album, titled Femme Fatale, which was released on March 29, 2011, including the lead single "Hold It Against Me" which has become Spears' fourth U.S. number-one single.[1][2] The album debuted at #1 on Billboard 200.[3] This made Spears the only female artist ever to have six number one debut albums, and have seven albums debut in the top two spots.
Spears has sold over 100 million records worldwide. According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), she is the eighth top-selling female artist in the United States, with 33 million certified albums.[4] Spears is also recognized as the best-selling female artist of the first decade of the 21st century, as well as the fifth overall.[5] She was ranked the 8th Artist of the 2000s by Billboard.[6] In June 2010, Spears was ranked sixth on Forbes list of the 100 Most Powerful and Influential celebrities in the world; she is also the third most mentioned musician on the internet, according to Forbes

Hi. If you are looking for something fun to do during the weekends or in the summer listen to me! Lots of people (including me and hopefully you) love to go to the refreshing but cold...

Barton Springs! If you feel like going there is a secret that I must tell. In the summer at 9:00 PM you can get in free! You can just walk right in and the life guards will not ask you why you just walked in. They turn on these big white lights and you can see through the water as clearly as if you were going during the day! If you feel like going in the middle of the day admission costs $3.00. If you are looking for something that will not turn you into a lime popsicle you could go see the amazing Zilker Botanical Garden. It is pretty cool and relaxing. If you are having a stressful day you can just ask your parent to take you there! I hope you enjoy Barton Springs or the Zilker Botanical Garden, but until next time.... hope you have a great day!

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Going hard to the net? Good. Scoring a goal? Even better. Standing over the goaltender, looking down through the top of the net and talking smack afterward? Dumb.

Even dumber when all you did was score a garbage goal at the end of a 7-3 blowout loss in an important playoff game, a snowball you helped roll down the hill by taking boarding and tripping penalties earlier in the night.

But that’s what ben eager did Wednesday, sparking a scrum, taking a roughing penalty and then adding a cross-checking penalty and a 10-minute misconduct after getting out of the box in the final seconds for good measure

Ben Eager had something to say after beating Roberto Luongo with a late goal
(Getty Images)

And the saddest part of all for the San Jose Sharks? At least Eager made an effort against the Vancouver Canucks . His coach would rather take the bad with the good he got from Eager than the little to nothing he got from others.

“We had some guys that really showed up and committed themselves to the team, and then we had some guys that weren’t sure,” Todd McLellan said.

Hey guys, today I'm going to do a review on the band Kings of Leon.

On to the review...

Kings of Leon is an American alternative rock band formed in Tennessee. They have a great style, similar to bands like Nirvana or The Clash. Kings of Leon has performed at many music festivals, such as ACL here in Austin, TX and Lollapalooza in Grant Park, Chicago. I really like their album Only By The Night, which was released in 2009. The reason I like it so much is just because of their style in that album. Kings of Leon consists of four band members (all brothers) who are very talented. Overall, I really love KoL because they have great music, and I really love alternative rock.

Well, this is MusicManiac, signing off.

Kesha Rose Sebert (born March 1, 1987), better known mononymously as Kesha , stylized Ke$ha, is an American pop singer-songwriter and rapper. In 2005, at 18, Kesha was signed to Dr. Luke's record label, Kemosabe Entertainment, and publishing company. Although an active musician since then, singing background vocals and writing songs for other artists, her breakthrough only came in early 2009 after appearing on Flo Rida's number one single, "Right Round." Kesha's debut single "Tik Tok", released in late 2009, reached number one in 11 countries. Her debut album, Animal, was released in January 2010 and debuted at number one in the US, Canada and Greece. By September, Kesha had sold two million albums worldwide and released three more top ten singles from Animal.[1] The album was re-released with a companion extended play, Cannibal, in November, preceded by the chart-topping lead single "We R Who We R".
Kesha has cited artists such as Madonna, Debbie Harry, Queen, Johnny Cash, Aaron Neville, Bob Dylan and Beastie Boys as musical influences. Her music incorporates elements of dance-pop, and she uses a spoken word rapping style on many songs.

Hi hi everyone! Today I'm going to do a review on the song "Memories" by Weezer. You might have seen my review on the band, if not check it out, it's somewhere on the bloggity.

"Memories" is much like a lot of Weezer songs. It's a very Power Pop or Punk Rock song. The song begins with a guitar solo, and the title is exactly what the song is about, memories. They sing "Listenin' to techno music on the bus where we undigest" which is by the way my favorite part of the whole song. Why? I love Techno/Electronica. I really love this song because it reminds me of all he memories I've had. Weezer is a very talented band that I really like, so expect me to do more reviews of their songs. Overall, this song is great and please go buy the whole Weezer album "Hurley" on iTunes, I think you'll like it.

Hey there Austin-ites! Austin-ish person is here to save your Austin place going troubles away! (that didn't really make any sense at all, but yeah, you get what I mean. (I hope)) Well, anyway, back to the blog. So today we will be reviewing.....

ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMA!!!!!!!!

So, the Alamo is this awesome theater with several locations around Austin. The most popular and my favorite, is the one on South Lamar. It's super cool, and it's very old fashioned and has cool 50's style theme. The epically unique thing about the Alamo Drafthouse is that they half as a restaurant. Yup, that's right. They literally have a menu and they serve the food directly to you. AND it's good food! I loooove the strawberry milkshakes with candied sunflower seeds and fried mozzarella sticks. Yummy!!!!!!!!! What's also awesome about it is that they also play old movies that are WAY out of the theatres so you get to see them on the big screen, not just on DVD, which isn't as great an experience. I love the Alamo and you should love it too!

Oh, and by the way, I'm Grace. I'm telling you because some person ruined this whole awesome guided group for ALL of us. Thanks a lot, whoever you are. Nice move. :/

Hi everybody. Today I'm going to be doing a review on the song "Paper Planes" by M.I.A. First of all I have no idea what out this song is about, but I like it. The song is somewhat crazy, featuring gunshots and weird lyrics. The song has an Alternative Dance or Alternative Hip-Hop ring to it. It actually backs an 80's song by The Clash. The song has been remixed, and sounds really cool if your even remotely into Dance/Electronica music. You guys really should think about getting this song. Sorry I know this was a quick review, but it was a 1-song review today.

Overall, I love this song a lot!

Yum yum yummy!It's a certainly very "out there" place, but in an amazing way! Located on the Austin famous South Congress Avenue, or also known as, soco, it keeps the "Keep Austin Weird" feel going for sure! It has a sort of carnival theme going on inside that local strollers and tourists alike seem to love. But it's not just famous for it's wonderful atmosphere. When you walk in, you inhale the comforting smell of delicious salt water taffy in tall weaved baskets according to flavor, the creamy to-die-for drinks such as the mango italian cream soda with a dallop of cream (my personal favorite), the freezing cold Blue Bell ice cream perfect for killer Texas heat in the summer, the large array of any type of chocolate you can imagine, well, you get the idea. It's pretty much every kid's (and adults) dream. But be prepared, it's crowded most of the day, especially on weekends, caused by it's intimate setting and awesome candy. It sooo good and you should try it!

Hello everyone. So I'm chilling right now and decided to do a review for you guys.

Tonight, I'm gonna review the band Weezer. I'm a HUGE fan of Weezer, just because they're so awesome!

On to the review:

Weezer is a Alternative Rock/ Power Pop band. They feature bass, keyboard, guitar, and vocals in most of their music. The band has a very "I don't care" or sarcastic tone in their vocals. The band also has a kind of "We're 40 year old teens" feel to it. First off, I really love the lyrics. The Pop Punk lyrical style really brings every song together. The bands influences are other Alternative bands like Nirvana and Green Day. Their latest album "Hurley" seems to go along with more of a darker, yet still relatively upbeat feel. My favorite song on "Hurley" would have to be "Memories" because the song really makes you think.

Point is, Weezer has a great style, I really recommend anyone reading this check them out, because they got some cool stuff.

I give Weezer 4/5 stars!

This is Music Maniac, signing off.

Rihanna was born in a county in Barbados called St. Michael. She lived the life of a normal island girl going to Combermere, a top sixth form school. Rihanna won numerous beauty pageants and performed Mariah Carey "Hero" in a school talent show. Her life changed forever when one of her friends introduced her to Evan Rodgers, a producer from New York who was in Barbados for a vacation with his wife, who is a native. Rodgers arranged for her to go to New York to meet Jay-Z, CEO of Def Jam Records. He heard her sing and knew she was going to be incredibly successful. She was 16 when she was signed to Def Jam. Since then, she's amassed phenomenal success.q

What up, peeps! Today, I will be reviewing a song. The song is "1901" by Phoenix. "1901" is an Alternative Rock/Synthpop song by the French band Phoenix. The song was released in February of 2009.

Now, on to the review:

The song has a very poppy, upbeat beginning. Featuring a very moody kind of singing from Thomas Mars, the song suggests that the song is obviously about something crazy that happened. According to Mars, the song is about how great Paris was in 1901. The song features interesting lyrics and a variety of instruments. I give this song 5/5 stars, and I recommend a buy on iTunes.

NBA stars Kevin Garnett, Dwyane Wade and Kobe Bryant are three of the best players in the NBA today (probably just random, though Wade’s stature decreased a tad with LeBron James joining his team, and Garnett is another year older). All three of these players were in the NBA playoffs, but the Lakers just got beat by the Mavs, so Kobe is out!

The top three players in college basketball last season had two things in common-- Jimmer Fredette, Nolan Smith and Kemba Walker were all guards – and they were all upperclassmen. It’s no secret that experience can play a huge role in players’ success, especially on the perimeter.

Hi, my name is Horsegirl. I am going to write all about horses and tell you interesting facts. Be ready to learn all kinds of cool stuff about horses from your Zilker horse expert, Horsegirl!

First fact-- more than 350 breeds of ponies and horses can be found.

Second fact-- The height of a horse can be mesure with the hand, where the hand is 4 in.

Time is out for today, but you can expect more facts tomorrow.

Hello people of the world! Welcome to the Zilker 5th Grade Blog. I'm your crazy awesome music reviewer, Music Maniac! Today I will be reviewing the band The Limousines. You may have heard of them, because they played at SXSW this year.

On to the review!

The Limousines are an Alternative Rock, Electronica, and Indietronica band. Composed of two people, Eric Victorino and Giovanni Giusti, this Rock N' Roll gone Electronica band formed in 2007. The band orginally started in the San Francisco Bay Area. Their singles "Internet Killed The Video Star" and "Very Busy People" allowed them to gain popularity in the Indie and Electronica scenes. In July of 2010, Victorino and Giusti released their first studio allbum "Get Sharp" to Hot Topic stores nationwide. Get Sharp" was released under the Orchard City Books & Noise indie label. Eventually, "Get Sharp" was released on iTunes, and gain much more fame. As of December 2010, The Limousines are signed to the label Dangerbird Records. In my opinion, The Limousines are a great band for anyone who wants to find some new music, loves the indie scene, or just like the style of Electronica. Overall, The band it's self gets 4/5 stars, and the album "Get Sharp' gets 5/5. I am very impressed with their music.

Well, that's all for now, but I might post another review later this afternoon.

I'm Music Maniac, signing off. :)

Apple Product of the Day by Scott Morris

2011-05-10T10:45:00.004-05:00

Today, the Apple product of the day is the iMac.

The new iMac of course comes in 27 inches and 21.5 inches. All of the new iMacs are now quad-core, not just the $1,999 model. The iMac includes one Thunderbolt port on the 21.5 inch models, and two Thunderbolt ports on the 27 inch models, which is really cool because you can have up to three displays, (including the iMac) but that's just for the really hardcore movie/photo editors. And of course, like all Macintosh computers, the iMac is very green. The iMac is BFR and PVC free, it has a Mercury free-LED-backlit display. The display glass is Arsenic free, and the iMac has highly recyclable aluminum and glass enclosures. The iMac meets the ENERGY STAR 5.2 requirements, and is rated EPEAT Gold. In the box, you get the iMac, (duh) you have a choice between the Apple Magic Mouse and The Apple Magic Trackpad, (wireless) the power cord, install/restore DVDs, and a printed and electronic documentation. The iMac comes with iLife "11, and Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The camera built in to the iMac is bumped up from the iSight camera to the FaceTime HD camera, which shoots at a stunning HD 720p quality. Apple has done away with the Intel Core i3 processor, and the iMacs only have the i5, but you can configure the $1,499 model to have a 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, and you can configure the $1,999 model to have a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 processor.
I rate this this computer 5 out of 5 stars, and I really like the iMac and Apple. I'm very sorry to say that this is gonna be the last Apple Product of the day because the blog is being shut down. So if you're looking to buy a new computer you should get the new iMac or the recently refreshed MacBook Pro.

*This is Scarlett Johansson, and what I liked about her dress was the color and the outer layer of fabris flowers, it looked very graceful.

*This is Sandra Bullock, and what I liked about her dress was the neck line shape.

*This is Halle Berry and what I loved about her outfit was the draping on it. and how well it complimented her skin.

*This is Gwyneth Paltrow and what I really liked about her dress was the simplicity of it.

*This is Cate Blanchett, I really liked the beaded design on her dress. I was not a big fan of the oval at the top.

*This is Anne Hathaway's Oscar dress, and I really liked the pleating in the back.

Feel free to leave your own comments. And I have made up a grading system. If you like something give it a number of panther paws by finding a picture of a panther paw. For example if I really liked this outift I might give it 5 panther paws that I found a picture of.

Please comment!

I have just gotten some fantastical news (yes I said fantastical) the new project runway season starts...wait for it....well they staart filming in July or June so...it will start over the summer! So I went to the Valentines day dance, and saw lots of you there, you might not have known but you probably saw me. I want to compliment Grace's outfit from today, it was spectacular. For those of you who didn't see (which is highly unlikely because it totally stood out!) she wore a bright turqouise skirt, a belt with many buckles, black tites, and I didn't quite see her top because I was far away.
I would love to host another best dressed contest except you guys don't comment very much. But if so you can only vute for students that are in Ms.Thompson's class (I want to find the best dressed in one class at a time). It can be a boy or a girl, the person cannot be elected because they are simply a friend, they must be a well dressed person.
Finally my fashion tips, since its starting to get warmer: puffy skirts, skinny jeans 4ever, short sleeve nice button up shirts (4 boys), and your choice! Comment on what you think people should wear more!
The contests for this week are
-best dressed (see above)
-what should people wear more (see above)
Have a great V-day holiday!

Dear music lovers,

Febuary 2nd, 2011 was a sad day alot of people's ,including me, lives. The White Stripes have officially broken up. Here's the message on their website regarding that.

The White Stripes would like to announce that today, February 2nd, 2011, their band has officially ended and will make no further new recordings or perform live. The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue, nor any health issues as both Meg and Jack are feeling fine and in good health. It is for a myriad of reasons, but mostly to preserve What is beautiful and special about the band and have it stay that way. Meg and Jack want to thank every one of their fans and admirers for the incredible support they have given throughout the 13 plus years of the White Stripes’ intense and incredible career. Third Man Records will continue to put out unreleased live and studio recordings from The White Stripes in their Vault Subscription record club, as well as through regular channels. Both Meg and Jack hope this decision isn’t met with sorrow by their fans but that it is seen as a positive move done out of respect for the art and music that the band has created. It is also done with the utmost respect to those fans who’ve shared in those creations, with their feelings considered greatly. With that in mind the band have this to say: “The White Stripes do not belong to Meg and Jack anymore. The White Stripes belong to you now and you can do with it whatever you want. The beauty of art and music is that it can last forever if people want it to. Thank you for sharing this experience. Your involvement will never be lost on us and we are truly grateful.”

Sincerely, Meg and Jack White,The White Stripes

band/artist of the day

AND THE ARTIST OF THE DAY IS...

FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE!

Florence Leontine Mary Welch came into this world on August 28th, 1986 in London, England. As a child she was diagnosed with dyslexia and dysmentria and often got in trouble for singing in school. She studied at the Camberwell College of Arts before dropping out to focus on music.

She could be best described as indie pop, indie rock, soul, art rock, and many others. Her lyrics are creepy and gothic, such as the song My Boy Builds Coffins, where she talks about, well, you can guess from the title can't you? She only has one album, Lungs, but there are it just rumours that she is coming out with a second one soon. Her backing band, The Machine, varies, it depends on what instruments she needs for that particular song. I SUGGEST YOU BUY HER ALBUM!!!

CANDY CANE CHILDREN UNITE!
