Coke VS. Pepsi
I'm not quite sure what to say. Im here for extra credit... lol But its really all the same. Its like Backstreet Boys or Nsync or Star Wars or Star Trek their basically the same. People always like one or the other. There are so many blogs about Coke and Pepsi. People like one or the other because of little things like there is more fizz in pepsi than there is in coke and thats just a theory. Pepsi started making different flovors and so did coke but i think Coke made more different kinds of flavors than pepsi did.
Plus pepsi is not that pricey than Coke. You may find them the same price at some stores but they say that Papsi makes more money. Personally they both taste the saem to me i don't know what the fuss is about but whatever.
And when you look at revenues, the gap is even more dramatic. Coke is trading at 7 times estimated 2002 sales while Pepsi is trading at 3.5 times 2002 revenue estimates. Both companies are expected to post slight declines in sales this year and an increase of about 4 percent in 2003. Due to this disparity in valuation. Coke is still the market share leader in soft drinks. One of the main reasons the stock has outperformed Pepsi this year was because it reported a better than expected gain in unit volume in the first quarter. And the company has taken steps to cement its carbonated beverage lead as well gain ground in the bottled water market. (Coke and Pepsi both have their own brands of water, Dasani and Aquafina, respectively.)
It is wierd but cool how people can go on and on about the silliest things. This might now be silly to some people but it is to me i mean come on its just a drink. Lol

Myspace.... the new fad!!
MYSPACE!!!!!!
im sure that everyone either has or ahs heard of myspace before! its seems like everytime you sign on to myspace you have a new friend or someone is asking you how to work their myspace because they just got theirs. but what really is myspace?? How did it start?? these are the questions that we are wondering.
Myspace alone is bigger then yahoo!, youtube, and google. It has millions of from more then 23 countries. Myspace was founded in 2004 by Tom Anderson and Chirs Dewolfe. In 2005 Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. bought the website for $580 million. Most of the money that myspace makes comes from the adveritising that goes on on the pages. Mostly for movies and new tv shows, or different web sites.
Tom and Chirs got the idea for their website from friendster.com. They thought that it would be a fun idea to create a socioal networking site, that could potentially get bigger then friendster.com.
its thanks to Tom and Chris for their hard work, that we can enjoy myspace when we get home from school.
Koi Bros!!!
There is a fish farm in Scandia, MN. These aren't just ordinary fish though, they are fish called koi. It started out as a hobby of a man named Mike Swanson then he got his 2 sons to enjoy these fish also. Now they own a koi fish farm located in Scandia MN. Their business, Koi Acres, began just a few years ago when the Swanson family, which also includes father Mike, mother Janel and brother Tayler, moved from suburban Oakdale to a farm in Scandia. Mike Swanson researched koi, which are popular in Japan. He had been unable to find a variety of the fish locally and decided to renovate their new land into a koi farm. The site now boasts a facility that holds four 8,000 gallon tanks for the fish. The farm generally contains 2,000 to 4,000 fish. While in Japan, the brothers tour koi farms and purchase fish to be transported to Scandia. Held July 23-24, the parade is a self-guided tour of unique ponds and landscaping in the metro area.
"This very large koi pond is a showcase for our Japanese koi. This pond is also our swimming pond and outdoor entertainment area. The pond is eight-feet deep and crystal clear all summer long due to an extensive filtration system," described the Swanson family.
