The famous Godiva

Godiva was founded in 1926 in Brussels, Belgium, by Joseph Draps. Draps opened his first boutique in the Grand Place in Brussels under its present name, in honor of the legend of Lady Godiva. The first Godiva shop outside Belgium was opened in Paris in 1958. In 1966, the company's products reached the United States, where it was sold at luxury department stores. The following year, it was purchased by the Campbell Soup Company. In 1972, the first Godiva boutique in North America was opened on New York's Fifth Avenue

You can reserve the game at game stop and make a down payment as little as $5.00, like I did. But you can also pay it in full, just to get it over with, like what some of my friends did. Which ever way you chose to reserve the game you will receive a small token of appreciation for reserving the game.

Police Taser Innocent Student

On Jan 29, 2010, police officers used a taser to stun a student after a fight broke out between 2 girls in the hallway, at a high school basketball game in Monessen, Pennsylvania. The incident happened outside the gymnasium at Monessen High School during a game on friday, with Washington High. Officers say the fight grew to the point where players became involved. That's when police were called and the situation became dangerous. Police started to use tasers to brake the fight, but they targeted the wrong student. The victim, Mario, only wanted to get his sister, but staff targeted him as though he was the problem. A staff called a cop to assist him and tasered the innocent student. Mario was able to get away but he said after he was tasered, "I felt pain like never before". After reviewing video from the incident I think that the staff of the school are the blame, because they failed to control the problem. Fights happen, but if they're not controlled immediately it can become serous. If the problem was controlled their would not have and accidents nor would any one be injured.
