The Australian Open

Good afternoon,
Like most of you know, I, Jr Blogger, am an avid tennis player. As the title states, I have recently finished watching a replay of the Australian Open, which is one of four Major Tournaments, or Grand Slams. After winning consecutive matches, Roger Federer of Switzerland and Andy Murray of Scotland were paired up against each other in an epic battle ending with a final score of 6-3, 6-4, 7-6. At the trophy ceremony, Murray broke into tears while congratulating Federer. Great job Federer, and good luck next year, Murray!!! The next Grand Slam is the French Open.

PvP, and New Looks!

 

 

Hiya!
Good evening. As pictured above, you should notice that I have finally learned how to post numerous pictures in a single post. Boo yah! Pictured above, notice Valkoor Willowweaver's new look!
Before: Yellow and Black.
After: White and Purple!
Ta-da! I thought, since I might be getting my Commander Gear soon, that I should quicky pick out a new set of colors. Also, in the second picture, notice that I took the screen shot while browsing "Watch-able" PvP duels. I was hovering my cursor over the numerous duelists, trying to figure out what a good match-up would be. Suddenly, I found a PvP Dueler named Angela R! Above notice that Angela has an insane amount of rank points. Think that might be high? Once before, I saw a GrandMaster Ice Wizard, who held the rank of 2,600! I. Think. That. Should. Be. Illegal. Really, that much rank? WOW . . . I'm sure you'll lots of posts with numerous pictures, and I hope you enjoyed Valkoor's new looks. I have to say, he looks quick dashing . . .

Look close and you will see....

 

 

 

 

Walking past the workers and artist who were building this sculpture I noticed that some of them were using tools to scrape the ice. I thought that they were doing this to make sure the blocks of ice fit together properly. I had quite a surprise this morning when I walked closer to the sculpture. The artists were actually carving words into some of the blocks of ice. They were leaving messages for all who came to see the sculpture. They were writing the word "H A I T I" in different languages. This was so interesting to see. These artists were appealing to everyone, not just Norwegians, to contribute some money to help the suffering people in Haiti. Now, that is a very good idea. That's My2Cents.

Ice Building Mystery Solved !

 

I have discovered the purpose for the various ice "igloos" I have been seeing around Oslo, Norway. These ice "sculptures" are to call attention to the suffering that is happening in Haiti. Artists in Norway are building these in hope of raising money to donate to the suffering people in Haiti. The ice block structure you see in this picture took 2 full days to build. The workers worked late into the night in freezing cold weather to build this very special work or art. In the background you can see a brick building. This is the Nobel Peace Prize building. It is called "city hall". It is where President Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize. I think that putting the ice sculpture close to this historic building is a good idea. But that's just My2Cents. More to come on this important issue about Haiti.

Is this a new level in Wizard 101?

 

This is SR. Blogger writing to you from the land of ice and snow! I am in a country that is famous for skiing, salmon fish, reindeer and the place where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded. Guess the answer and win the prize!! Well, back to this picture. I was walking along what is called "The Walking Street" here in Oslo, Norway. (now you know the answer!) The name of the street is Karl Johans Gate ("Gate" means street in the Norwegian language). Karl Johans street extends from the central train station all the way to the Royal Palace where the King and Queen of Norway reside. While I was walking along the street I came upon this unusual construction of ice blocks in the middle of the street. What could it be? An igloo for tall people? An art construction?
Just a bunch of big ice cubes stacked on top of each other? I got up close to it and could see there was no way it could be an ice "house" for anyone...tall or short.
I asked a few people if they knew what it was and no one had a clue. Finally, I found someone in one of the shops who had the answer. This ice sculpture is a work of art...that will go away (melt) when the weather warms up. It was built for a TV show that was being filmed a few days before I got to "discover" it. So, that's the answer. I am sure there is more to the story and I will try and find out more and post any updates for you. I think that it is a very cool (pardon the pun) piece of art work and it sure gets your attention. But then that's just MY2Cents worth. Have a great day. SR. Blogger out.

I'm a Lord of a War!!! (Kind of)

 

Woohoo!
I hope you're having a good week, as I am. I had a half-day of school today, so I got home early. I just finished reading an Aesop's Fables book. I love all those great lessons. Now back on topic. Valkoor WillowWeaver, Level 12 Conjurer, is finally an infamous Warlord! After long duels, a ton of Minotaur, Orthrus, and some Bolt treasures, I have finally reached the highest rank in the game!!! I'd like to thank "dapangrulez" again, for giving me useful PvP tips. Thanks! I'm sure we'll see young Valkoor in full Commander Gear, soon . . .
