Zilker Fashionista

Hello world It's me again and I'm here with last Project Runway's update.Well the first thing I want to say is that this coming up Thursday is the P.R. finale! For the challenge the contestants had to make 1 new garment and pick 2 of they're collection pieces. But before I go any farther I have to say Michael's wasn't all that bad, but yes Gretchen's 3rd look was horrible.The new piece that Mondo made was a long sleeved ankle long dress. It had a row of white polka dots infront of black and the rest of the dress was black he also made a purse with a day of the dead skull on it. His 2nd garment was a brown you guessed it patterned skirt, with a turquois long sleeved see through shirt, it also had a small yellow belt with it. His 3rd garment was a light leaf polka dotted shirt with the same patterned skirt. Gretchen's newest garment was a short green dress with big pockets and abig open pocket in the back. Her 2nd garment was a Green leather jacket with yellow trim and her 3rd garment was a pant with a camel color same color but a sleeved shirt with unapeeling patterns. Michaels new outfiit was a brone one sleeved dress with a beaded strap and great movement. His 2nd outfit was a V-necked shirt with a big hipped feathery skirt they were both sort of bronzish. his 3rd look was a brown vest with brown sequin pants. Andy's new look was a hand pleated green cock-tail dress, his 2nd look was a silver bikini with a cape type of thing attached to it. His 3rd look was a silver pleated jumper. Some of the accessories were hand made like Mondo's rose head band and sphere head band. There was also the jewelry that Gretchen designed which was gold and brown triangular shaped. Then there was also Andy's head pieces wwhich were silver flowers on long thin pieces of metal. Now what you've all been waiting for who gets to go to Fashion Week!!!!!! Here they are MONDO, ANDY, and sadly GRETCHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!Well my fashion tips for this week are perriwinkle/mint/light blue/white for tan people greys and smoky colors for pale people and purple/blues/geens for in the middle people and then dark skinned people reds/oranges. Then also keep rock'in the skirts!
-Well make it work in the world, your Zilker Fashionista(as shown in the picture peace out!)

Zilker Fashionista

Hello World, I'm here with last Thursday's p.r. report sorry peeps I couldn't log into the blog! Anyway they didn't exactly announce a winner but they announced the 4 people to compete at Fashion week. If you've noticed that's more than usual so all four of the finalists (Mondo, Andy, Michael C., Gretchen) will make a collection and the judges will pick who gets to go to fashion week. The challenge was to use something in New York as an inspiration.
The worst part about the last p.r. was that April doesn't get to show a collection at fashion week!Here's the contestant's inspiration Mondo-Brooklyn bridge, April-Brooklyn bridge, Andy-Central park, Gretchen-Lower east side, Michael-Statue of liberty. Here are pictures of what inspired them. If I were a judge I would have commented on Gretchen's garment,"The lower east side is supposed to be cool and hip this is neither of those." And for Michael's," It is really bland, the slits too high and it reminds me nothing of the statue of liberty." For Andy," Why didn't you keep the flower?" and," Its really elegant but, it looks and reminds me nothing of Central Park." Then for Mondo's I would have said," It's really cute, and feminine,but I've seen this print a lot of times from you!" I predict the finalists will be Mondo, Andy, and Gretchen.

I saw the new copy of Marie Claire and I loved a bright yellow pant. By the way Caela, loved the locket necklace, Finley rock'in the belted skirt, loved Finley and Zoe's matching T's, and I really liked Lily G.'s striped, grey and white hoodie with a red and navy blue shirt! My fashion tips for this week are grey skinny jeans for petite people, colored for long legged peeps and skinny jeans for well skinny peeps! For boys plaid, short sleeved dress shirts and 10- is shoes. Oh and don't forget to leave me comments or iddeas.
Make it work in the world!

Birthday for Bryan

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRYAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

band/artist of the day

And the band of the day is...
THE KILLS!

Similar to the last band I did (The White Stripes), The Kills are a duo, but they are very different. Alison Mosshart, the lead singer, was touring with her band from California in London when she met Jamie Hince, their guitar player. She was staying in the same flat that he lived in and she heard him practice. They met, and one thing led to another and they became a band. They would be best described as indie rock, garage rock, or art rock. They have 3 albums, Keep On Your Mean Side, No Wow, and Midnight Boom. Alison said that they're mostly done with their 4th album,but they will finish it when she is done with her tour with The Dead Weather.(Another awesome band, with Jack White, Dean Fertita, Jack Lawrence, and her)I'm really excited for that!

And I hope you are excited for the next band!!

Maddie's Marvelous Interviews

Hello this is Maddie speaking.
I have told you things about other people, but I have not told you anything about myself.
Here I go.
One thing about me is that I LOVE pumpkin pie topped with over the top whip cream! I think that pumpkin pie is the best kind of pie in the world! (Mostly because I haven't tried any kind of pie but pumpkin.) My favorite kind of animal is a WOLF! They are sooooooooooo cute!
I have 2 annoying but great siblings, my sister Rowan and my brother Tommy. I also love my family. And I really have to brag about my grandparents, they spoil me and my siblings rotten! They are both in great shape and still get up at 5:00 in the morning and ride their bikes all around the neiborhood. I also have the best friends that you could ever imagine. Bethanie, Lilly, Alex and Georgia are SOME of my best friends.
One of my favorite things about my life is going to... school!!!!!!! I go to the best school ever, Zilker elementary. All of the teachers that I have had were all amazing. I would like to give a special thanks to my 4th grade teachers, Mrs. Hardwick and Ms. Brosko. Mrs. Hardwick taught me how to really write. I was an ok writer when I started 4th grade but by the end i had learned to love and enjoy it. Ms. Brosko was about the coolest science/math teacher ever. She made math really fun. I loved, and still love all of my Zilker teachers. So go ZILKER!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Apple Event

This is Bryan here, and I have an announcement about Apple, my favorite tech company.

The "Back to the Mac" Apple event will occur on October 20, 2010!

Supposedly, showing a preview of Mac OS X Lion 10.7 and a new, refreshed iLife, the entertainment section of Apple's software, including GarageBand and iMovie.

I predict a MacBook Air refresh, and possibly hinting multitouch support in the near future.

I do not predict Mac Pro, iMac, or Mac Mini refreshes because they were just updated this August.

Anyways, I'd love to here some replies from my fellow fifth grade students, and, of course, our friends around the world! This has been Bryan, have a good afternoon.

Update: Mac OS X is rumored to be released at WWDC 2011 next year.

daily dino

Allosaurus

This beast was king of the jurrasic period, and ate flesh of huge beasts such as diplodocus(see previous daily dino).How did it hunt such massive creatures? Well, first they hunt in packs. Second, they had a use for its s shaped neck. They would lunge out with it,and take a chunk out of its prey, somewhat like a spring. As a bonus, their jaw can open surprisingly wide. This beast also had two crests above its eye,used to attract mates, and its well muscled arms could grab prey. People once thought it ran slow, like a t.rex, for if it fell it would get hurt badly, but recent discoveries show it could heal fast.

length:12 metres long
diet:meat

Tomorrow's Weather Report by Micah Wheat

Tomorrow will be nice with a high of 82 and an overnight low of 51 no chance of precipitation and winds from the north at up to 10 M.P.H. the humidity is 39% and the pollen level is higher than yesterday with the elm moderate and the grass but the weed is still at a high.

Apple Product of the Day by Scott Morris

The Apple product of the day today is the new iPad. The prices for the iPad are: 16 GB costs $499, the 32 GB costs $599, and the 64 GB costs $699. The 3G models cost: 16 GB costs $629, the 32 GB costs $729, and the 64 GB costs $829. The iPad is very fast. It is made with a high performance Apple A4 chip with a 1 GHz processor. The iPad has a 9.7 inch LED-backlit glossy display that is multitouch and has IPS technology. It has 1024 by 768 pixel resolution 132 pixels per inch. The iPad has an accelerometer so when you are typing, you can turn it to the side so that is is like a keyboard. A lot of people say the iPad is just a big iPod touch, personally, I don't like when people say that because it really isn't. The iPad is available in 3G, it has a much bigger 12 hour battery, and it's a lot faster. The iPad has a microphone so you can make Skype voice calls or make phone calls. The iPad is really nice and I like it a lot. I actually have one, and for anyone that is going to buy one, I think they should get the 64 GB, the one without 3G, unless you're a person that is always on the go.

Best band/artist of the day

Before you start reading this, you should know that I will not be focusing on Justin Bieber, Hannah Montana, The Jonas Brothers, or anything of that sort. No offense to people who like that kind of music, I just don't want to disappoint anyone.

So anyway, the band of the day will be THE WHITE STRIPES!!! They are my personal favorite and in my opinion, they are the BEST band on the planet! Jack and Meg White are a "Brother/Sister" duo from Detroit. But the strange thing is that they aren't actually brother and sister. Jack's real name is John Anthony Gillis and they got married and he took her last name.
But anyway, let's talk about what this blog is about. MUSIC! Their style is very versatile, going from punk/rock to even country! They have six albums. The White Stripes, De Stijl, White Blood Cells, Elephant, Get Behind Me Satan, and finally, my personal favorite, Icky Thump. They have a documentary about their tour of Icky Thump in all the provinces of Canada called "Under Great White Northern Lights". (I have watched it SEVEN times!) Jack has also been in a documentary called "It Might Get Loud", a film discussing the electric guitar. It features Jimi Page, from Led Zepplin, The Edge, from U2, and of course, Jack White, from The White Stripes.

I could honestly go on and on about this band, but sadly, my blog must come to an end. I know, I know, it's sad, but you'll just have to wait for the next band!

MNF Score

Minnesota Vikings - 20
New York Jets - 29

Cleveland Browns rookie QB Colt McCoy will be starting against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He is playing because the other Browns QBs are riddled with injuries.

My prediction for that game: I'm guessing the Steelers because of the defense, also they are playing against a rookie QB.

Sunday's game to watch: Baltimore vs New England

Apple Product of the Day by Scott Morris

Today, the Apple product of the day is the MacBook Pro.
The MacBook Pro has a ton of features. The MacBook Pro comes with an Apple iSight camera built in. There is an application built in called iChat. With iChat, you can make video calls from MacBook to MacBook with the iSight camera. The MacBook comes with a multi-touch track pad made of recycled glass. If you are on a page and want to scroll down, you can simply put two fingers on the trackpad and move your fingers down. If you want to go back one page, put three fingers on the trackpad and move them to the side. With four fingers, move them up or down or to the side and you can see all of the pages that you have open.The MacBook Pro is also very fast. One of the 13 inch and 15 inch MacBook are the fastest, the both have 2.66 GHz of speed. Other than that, one of the 13 inch has 2.4 GHz of speed, one of the 15 inch has 2.4 GHz of speed, and another one of the 15 inch and the 17 inch have 2.53 GHz of speed, not as fast as 2.66 GHz, but still very fast. The MacBook Pro has a very reasonable price for it's quality. In fact, I'd rather pay more for a Mac and have it last longer, than buy a cheap Dell or any type of PC and have it only last about a year. You can make movies with iMovie, and then put it on a DVD with iDVD. The MacBook Pro is really cool and I like it alot. I like it so much, and I am going to buy one soon. For anyone that is buying a computer, i recommend that they get a MacBook Pro.

word of the day

ENCHIRIDION In origin, an enchiridion is literally a small thing for holding in the hand, from Greek enkheiridion, which is made up of the parts en-, within, plus kheir, hand, plus the diminutive suffix -idion.

A famous example of a treatise with this name is the one St Augustine wrote around the year AD421, the Enchiridion de Fide Spe et Caritate (a treatise on faith, hope, and charity), in whose title appears the Latin form of the original Greek, the version that English has borrowed. Another example was penned by Erasmus in 1503, Enchiridion Militis Christiani, in English “Handbook of a Christian Knight”.

Animal of the Day

The animal of the day is the Ring-tailed lemur
Marlie Frasier
Madagascar is famous for its lemurs. When ring-tailed lemurs are first born they love to cling onto their mother's furry underside but soon graduate to a 'seat-with-a-view' astride her back. But that mother better be careful because her infant is highly precocious and is often dismounting to join the other youngsters in a lively playgroup. Ring-tailed lemurs spend most of their time on the cool forest floor, which is unlike any other type of lemur.

Never Mind

something and they drone on and on?
Has it ever happened to you when
you're talking to someone and they
stop short in their story and you ask

Couldn't care less.
And you bug them and bug them,
but they still won't tell you.

Zilker Fashionista

On Thursday it was Project Runway night (which comes on at 8:00 every Thursday) and in case you didn't see it Andy won! So based on his profection last week I think the finalists will most likely be Mondo, April, and Andy!!! The challenge was to make good looking sports wear for Heidi Klum's line, the contestants had to make 3 whole garments and Andy was the clear winner. His first outfit was a black and white sort of zebra printed dress. It fell a little above the knees and a it hung diaganoly across the model's shoulders. His second outfit had black zebraish printed pants and a grey and white hoody with the same type of print. Finally his last garment was black flow pants like the others and a flow shirt with a white diagonal T on it (it was diagonal because it hung diagonally across his model's shoulders) the rest of the shirt was black. Anyway for a better look at all of the garments on P.R. type in Project Runway season 8.

I would really like to comment on all of the nice clothes I saw at picture day, I really liked the plaid shirts I saw and a blue and white striped dress with flowers on the bottom and I loved the trim on it! I also saw a really nice boy's plaid shirt with lines of brown, gold, and other brownish colors on it. My fashion tips for this week are nuetral colored plaid (anything). Gladiator shoes they are deffinaetly in and skirts with belts again come on people have confidence!!!

Apple Product of the Day by Scott Morris

Today, the Apple product of the day is the new iPod Touch 64 gb. The new iPod touch 4th generation has many more features than the last generation. It is made with a retina display which is the highest quality display. Also, one pretty big feature, it has two very good cameras on the front and the back and it comes out with a really good picture. An application that comes built in on the iPod Touch is FaceTime. FaceTime lets you make video calls from iPod to iPod, or you could make video calls from iPod to the new iPhone 4. There's an app From the app store called iMovie, you can use the pictures and videos that you have taken on your iPod and make a movie with them. There are also more accessibility feature like white on black colors, and you can also make folders with the apps that you have so that your iPod doesn't get cluttered with apps.

The new iPod Touch 4th generation is a very cool device. I have used it before and my brother has one of them. I really like the iPod and it is also really useful

At the dinner table,

Then I get in my bed

And start dreaming.
