Justin Katz Helium 11/30

The topic I chose to review discusses which is better, a male or female dog. I learned a great deal about the similarities and differences between male and female dogs. With the best essays, the authors gave examples by using experiences they have had with both male and female dogs. The essays that weren't as good and they weren't really organized. If I wrote an essay on this topic, I would support that male dogs are better. This is because every dog I've had has been a male.

The topic I chose to review this time discusses what to expect when getting a new puppy. I learned by reading these that puppies aren't as easy as people think they are. They take a great deal of training and are quite expensive. The author of the best essay explained a great deal of things. This author also compared getting a new puppy to a great deal of things, which makes the truth become reality. With the essay that wasn't the highest ranked, the author didn't really take time to organize the essay as well. the author also didn't make it interesting as much as the best essay was. If I wrote an essay on this, I would probably write similar to how the best writer did. I would compare having a puppy to other things to draw in peoples' attention as well as make it interesting for them.

Justin Katz Helium 11/30

I reviewed articles on how aggressive dogs can be rehabilitated. I learned from these articles that there are a great deal of ways to rehabilitate aggressive dogs without using Euthanasia. With the best essay, the author used a great deal of organization and writing concepts to make their essay great as well as unique. The lesser essay wasnt as organized and they didnt have supporting facts. If I wrote an article on this topic, I would list the types of ways to rehabilatate dogs as well as explain each step in trying to rehabilitate a dog.

http://lmcwriting.blogspot.com/2009/10/stumble-rashawndra-doby-piano-and.html

Looking at all these blogs I could see that everyone talked about different things. Like animals, drungs, objects like musical instuments, and even plants. When I look at Tyricee`s stumble I could see where he had questions on how someone can tax a stoner when the person who is selling the drug is not even taxed either. I can understand that question myself

Rashawndra`s stumle on pianos being played virtually is different because I have not seen someone stumble about instruments being played online than it actually being a real object. This person shows the differences of how you can stumble about something different from everyone else. Justin Katz`s stumble is about something that everyone can blog about. Weird and odd animals. Anyone can do that, find an animal they have never seen before and stumble about it and it be something "new" to talk about.

From all the stumbles I have seen I have learned that to blog about something completly different sets you aside from all the other bloggs. Which I have learned to do.

This topic caught my eye from being interesting and even more surprising to me in how the situation played out, along with the fact he didn't even know what was going on in tell it was practically over. I would recommend this stumble to my classmates because it is funny and pretty awesome story to be able to get in a shot of a high profile movie. The topic is interesting and a once and a life time opportunity, along with that it isn't to long making it a great stumble to recommend. As for citing his sources he really didn't have any besides stating were he was since his story is all first hand experience. The main question i would have for him would be if he made the cut or not, but that cant be answered in till the movie is out.




http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#8EVW2f/www.truckspills.com/whale_spill.html/


This blog grab my interest with how bizarre that would be to see in a everyday street. The pictures gave you a good idea how it would to be apart of that and to see others reactions. I also learned that they apparently carry huge whales on tractor trailers as well. I would recommend this to my classmates because everyone enjoys hearing about bizarre incidents specially on the scale that this was. Another reason is because it has good pictures and with these sort of times words are never enough. As for citing his sources he did cite the pictures, just not in great detail naming MSNBC and other for his sources. This isn't great citing but is better than nothing. One question i would have would be how long it took to clean up and how long was the smell in the streets.


http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#2Oobo2/www.princeton.edu/~ina/infographics/starbucks.html/

This stumble is interesting to me because it shows how we are connected through food and it is surprising that some restaurants you would think of only in America and other neighboring modern countries would be spread throughout the world in such high numbers. I think my classmates would like this because it helps you realize how connected the world is now unlike a few hundred years ago. They cite their sources at the bottom left corner. A question I would ask would be what are some other big companies spread throughout the world.

This is interesting and new to me because i haven't seen anyone do this before. He paints himself to blind in or look "invisible" in the surrounding environment. I would recommend this to a class mate because it is entertaining and pretty cool to look at. For citing the sources they give credit to the artist at the top but not to who took the picture. One question I would have is how long it took to paint him?

This link interest me because it has some humor and is also sort of sad in the fact that this person either doesn't know about the Holocaust which is surprising, or he just decided to make fun of it which wasn't the best idea. But the rest of the paper has humor to it. I would recommend this to classmates because it does have humor in it and if they ever wrote a bad paper it wasn't as bad as this one. For citing the source's they didn't really do that because it was suppose to be confidential to the student. One question i would have is how he made it to US history II?



http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#1FhFTI/www.demonbaby.com/pics/americanworld.gif/

This interest me because it shows how others view Americans as a whole on world knowledge. It's funny because its true on some of the stereotypes not saying that is all majority of Americans think this way. I think my classmates would enjoy it because its funny and true also they can judge for them self if they agree with them. They didn't cite any source's its just a picture you cant tell if they did the picture of found it else were. One question i would ask is if you had to change uninhabited for Canada what would it be?

Icey Patterson Helium Can a relationship with a cheater work out

Well if i was in a relationship i don't think it would work out for me. The reason why is because once you are a cheater always will be a cheater. And if somebody cheats on me i feel like that person really don't care about me and don't love me. So for me i will just end the relationship. But you know some people can work it out, but i can't. Cheating can change a lot of things in a relationship, some of the things it can change is trust and also how you feel about that person. In a relationship you need to be honesty and trust it for it to work out. If you cheat on someone you could have broken that person heart. You should never cheat on anyone because that is a hurtful feeling. Also if you know that you are a cheater i mean why be with that person and you know that you are going to cheat, i mean that is not good. Now if you cheat on someone while you are married i think you should get a divorce because that is so not cool to cheat on someone while you are married. Cheating is not good at all. I learned many things from reading this article it gave me good information and also facts. The other ones didn't give me enough information at all. If you have been cheated on or think someone is cheating on you, you should read this article you will learn a lot from it.

Icey patterson Helium Thankgiving

Thanksgiving- secret to enjoy family hoildays: In this article ii said, that the main word in this article is family. Family can also mean many different things. The reason why people have thanksgiving is so that the family can come togther and have a great time. So that everyone can come and get alone with eachother. When familys come togther on hoildays it can be a very happy time and sometimes it can be sad, but it depends. Thanksgivng is just a time to spend time with your family so you can go back and tell your friends how great it was. You can also have a great time and if you do the memory will last forever and you will never forget that day. The reason why i think thanksgiving can be sad for some people is because that family might have had death in there family and they were wishing that person was there, so thanksgiving can be sad for some families you never know. I liked this article because it gave me a lot of information and details. The other ones, i mean they were good but it just didnt give me enough facts so that i can talk about it. I think if thanksgiving is your best hoilday you should read this article it have great information.

The first link I found was a comic that shows why macs are easier to use for those not computer savy. Trying to teach someone who doesnt know how to use a computer what to do on a pc can be very annoying since microsoft doesnt know how to make a straight forward program to use. Or atleast the last time they attempted to make an easy to use program they made windows vista. I want to post this comic but I have a better picture for later on in this post.
left click right click

My next one is a picture of a sign posted on a door as a joke. The door involved has a sign saying "This door is Alarmed" and under that there is a handmade sign asking "what startled it". its a simple thing but quite funny in the right situation. I'll leave it to you to judge this one in more detail.
Door

My final post is pictures meant to be wallpaper. The artwork isnt that great but its strange enough to make a good wall paper image. Also There is a picture of how sushi should be made, I'll go ahead and post that image now.
So that is how sushi should be made. The rest of the images have that strange artwork that is interesting to look at.

The first link was just a random picture that made me laugh so I thought I would post it on here. I'm not really sure how to describe it since its so off the wall and I dont understand it at all really. Maybe you will have more luck at understanding it than I did so here is the link.

My next link is more photography. I think these are actual images and not done completely digitally like the others I have posted.
Ok..... so that one looks digital, but it still looks good. There are other photos like this one and a few that are just strange to look at.
link

And my final link brings me back to surviving the world, and this one even has to deal with writing.......kinda. Anyway it relates to drafting your writing and also Shakespeare. I found this entertaining but then I also like reading surviving the world. Its a fairly simple comic with a great sense of humor about it.

I have found a motivational poster worth posting. Except you wont understand it at all if you dont know what lolcats are.
That should be enough explination why you wouldnt understand it.

My last link Im posting since I actually know how to play this game from learning binary for a programming class. Its almost like tetris but done with binary math so I say good luck if you dont know binary. If you do this link is fun for about ten minutes after that it gets annoying, but anyway here it is.

Anyway it was an interesting find to watch someone who learned to climb by imitating monkeys climbing buildings and other man made objects. Im going to let the video do the talking for the rest of this so you can decide for yourself.

The second link is supporting the halloween season by letting you carve a virtual pumpkin. Not really useful for outdoor display with how the weather is here but it was fun to play around with. Its a great time waster if you are bored. Not really mush else to say besides you can carve a pumpkin with out the mess of gutting it first.

The last link is of programs that would be good to use if there was someone using their computer enough to where it becomes annoying. These range anywhere from fake shutdowns to just annoying text boxes. This site could create alot of fun times if you can watch the discovery of these programs.

Icey Patterson Helium-is there truth to old wives' tales about predicting the sex of an unborn baby

Is there truth to old wives' tales about predicting the sex of an unborn baby: "Did you know that women is a modern era have the ability to determine the gender of their unborn child by simply having a ultrasound". In this article it also said that ultrasounds was not available long ago, so the only way for the woman to find out what she was having was the old wives' tales that have been passed from generation to generation to predict the gender of the unborn. If you are having a bad morning sickness it means you are having a girl. But man mothers that are having morning sickness can sometimes have a boy. Also in this article it tells you different about symptoms if you are having a boy or a girl. But you real want know what you are having until you go to the doctor and get and ultrasound, Some people try to guess and see what they are having some might be right and sometimes they are wrong. If you want a girl sometimes you go to the doctor and the doctor tells you that you are having a little boy. The doctors might be wrong about telling you what you are having. This is a great article and gives a lot of information and great ideas. The other ones just didn't give good examples. I think you should read this if you are having a baby or wanting to have one.

Icey Patterson Helium Is friendship a lifetime?

Is friendship a lifetime?: Some friendships can be a lifetime and some can't. The reason I say that some friendship can't be a lifetime, say if you and that person been friends for a very long time and that person like went with your ex- boyfriend, so now that lifetime friendship that you and that person had is gone. But yall might work it out but it's not gone be the same. Many people find a true friend that have stuck by there side the whole time and was there when they needed them. In the article it said that whether you are unpleasantly thrust apart through unfortunate experiences, or simply through age, the truth is that people tend too grow older and further apart. It doesn't make a friendship less significant, however, knowing that it hasn't or won't last. But people come into our lives for some reason. You should always stay positive in your friendship at all times because that person is here for you for some reason rather you know why or not. Always try to make your friendship last because you might never find a friend like the one you had before. This article gave good details and information. The other ones gave me little information and i didn't get nothing out of those. You should read this article if you want your friendship to last.

Icey Patterson Helium A guide to weight loss surgery

A guide to weight loss and surgery: If you are trying to have weight loss surgery, did you that it is a major decision is someone's life. If you decide to have surgery you are risking your life. Many people have died while having weight loss surgery. Well i think many people have this surgery to lose there fat, and also to make there body look good, but some don't relaize that they are putting themselves into danger. When reading this article it said bariatric surgery promotes weight loss and is known to reduce the type of two diabetes. There are several different types of bariatric surgical procedures that are available. "But some of the procedures will restrict food intake and interrupt the digestive system to prevent the absorption of calories and nutrients." The reason why i liked this article better than the other ones is because it gave me very important facts, and also great details. The other ones didn't really tell me anything and it gave me poor information. But i think whomever is trying to lose weight should read this article because it gives very good information and good details.

Icey Patterson- Helium- Education

Education College and universities and small colleges: College selection process and be very hard for most people. Many people also want to make the right decision for there education and also when they go to college. Some people try to go to smaller colleges. The reason why is because if you go to a smaller college there are fewer people in your classroom, and also teachers can help you more with your education and also your work. While I was reading this article I also learned that people who enjoy small schools are also intimate social environments, and wide open spaces.If you attend a small school teachers and faculty will know your name. But you should choose a school that makes you comfortable. For me I rather attend a small school. The reason why is because its less people in the classrooms, and the teachers can help you more with your and can help you improve your grade. The reason i picked this article is because it gave me a lot of information and also good facts. The other ones didn't give me a lot of information. I think whomever is looking for a good small college or what to know about small colleges should read this article because it gives you good information and also details.

2. I found about the cookies can be made without baking them. It would be very helpful in summertime.

3. The author of best rated article decribes the ingredients and how to use them properly very well. I think even I can make the recipes.

4. The lesser articles are too short. The explanation has not enough description about how to cook ingredients.

5. I need to make one myself in order to write recipes. Because I think it helps me to know the recipe is working.

The first stumble upon that I cam across was “The coolest place to stay and see the Northern lights.” The Hotel Igloo Village in Kakslauttaen, Finland is the coolest place to stay and see Northern Lights. You can see these lights anywhere above 60 degrees north. This Hotel Igloo Village offers 31 first class log cabins in Lapland. When you sleep in these glass igloos you are about to see the northern lights and millions of starts in the sky. It would be so cool to sit in your bed at night in a glass igloo and see all the stars and than wake up to snow and pine trees all around. You may also expect a snowstorm while you are inside this igloo, which would be an unforgettable experience. The northern lights are a rainbow type light. Just image yourself surrounded by snow and the northern lights, and sleeping in a glass igloo while a snowstorm is taking place. This would be an amazing get a way! I would recommend you to cheek out this site and see pictures of the northern lights and the rooms that are inside this igloo. They look amazing!

http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#1k4jsF/www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/oct/16/swine-flu-anxiety-produces-curious-side-effects?feat=home_headlines/

This article I stumbled upon was a “Flu Alert: Fear of a hand sanitizer shortage.” Jennifer Harper wrote it. She says that “a new swine flu culture is descending on America and it’s got us all squealing.” Anglicans fear that getting the vaccine and, alternatively, not getting the vaccine. The Anglicans depend on hand sanitizers to stay clean but the only way to keep germs and bacteria away is to thorley wash your hands and than you can apply hand sanitizer. The Anglicans need to wash there hands and than use the hand sanitizer. You do not need to stop giving people handshakes you just need to wash your hands and carry hand sanitizer with you so when you get done with a handshake put the sanitizer on your hands to kill the germs. I think people are over reacting about the swine flu because yes you may get it and yes you may die but it is not any worse than what getting the flu is. Just take the proper precaution and you will be just fine. But being worried about running out of hand sanitizer is not a big deal because washing your hands is more effective than hand sanitizer. I encourage everyone to protect himself or herself and take precautions and wash there hands frequently.

http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#9vMYNj/www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/foodanddrinknews/6335916/Extinct-Norfolk-Dumpling-apple-grown-again.html/

The last article I stumbled upon was “ Extinct Norfolk Dumpling apple frown again.” This apple, which was last recorded in 1920, has been found growing in the garden is a former rectory. This fruit was thought to have died out almost 90 years ago. The only written record of the Norfolk dumpling, a pale yellowy-green cooking apple with smooth and slightly greasy skin and short season from September to October. As the older trees get older there fruit begins to get smaller. It is amazing what you can discover. People thought that this apple had died off 90 years ago but this garden changed all that. He found a Norfolk apple in his garden and now made headlines in Norfolk. Dr. Kevin Browne was a retired GP but now he takes on the old orchard and walled garden in North Creake in north Norfolk. Dr. Browne has grown more than 50 varieties of apples in his orchard over the last 25 years but nothing like the rare Norfolk Apple. To me this apple looks like a “yellow apple” so I am not sure what is so amazing about it other than it is a rare apple that was thought to have died away 90 years ago. I guess if I lived in Norfolk I would have a different perspective on this apple.

Trott,Rieko-Helium

The first promt I looked at was about health & Fitness. The main focuse was the immune system. The immune system is the bodies defense system which fights off bateria and illnesses that try to enter the body on a daily basis. The author of this promt recieved a five star rating. I thing that the author really explained her topic, she was enthusiastic and coordinated her words beautifully. though she was rated five stars, i feel that the author could have been more specific as to who her audience was. She never gave any indication that she was talking to a specific set of people and that is very important. If I had to write about this topic I would probably write it in a similar fashion to how the writer wrote hers'. she was direct and powerful. I would do a better job of identifying my audience to make the promt complete. The second blog I read was about was about ways you could boost you immune system. The author of this promt was not a very good author. he did not get a rating and i could not understand what he was saying. The organization of this promt was very poor and he was not clare about what he was saying. howerver he did metion a few ways to boost your immune system but the overall promt was very unorganized. The last promt i read was very organized and stated who the audienc were. They stated the facts and opinions of the topic and used used them to back up their main points. However, the author did not use many transitional words therefore her writing did not have a good flow to it. I would use more transitional words to link the sentences together, once that is done i believe this promt would be a five star rating.

home cooking- Grayson Avery

http://www.tastespotting.com/

When walking around a college campus just before break, i asked what people are looking to most forward to. The main answer that i got was the home cooking. people have found that the cafeteria food up here is good, but it is nothing like what you get while you are at home. I have found that no matter the size of the person the food is always the first thing on the mind. so while everyone is on break get your parents to make you lots of food, and make sure to bring it back to your dorms.

Will Chase-Best

Reading the blogs and doing stumble I have come to known that this was not an easy process. You have to mentally help yourself remember that this is not just free writing but a writing process where you have to mentally think about your writing and the elements of it. This is not like research papers where you have to write pages and pages of things. It is a blog where you can contemplate on you feelings.



Stumbles like Bradley King is very interesting. I have noticed that everyone has blog about this person and so will I. He has very key points that keeps the audience in tact with being personal with his writings. I also noticed he writes a lot about sports which is an interest that people can take in.

Doing blog has helped me in so many ways. Even though we all tend to write about the same stumbles, we all have different view points of the topic and that is the interesting thing about each of the students.

Gooding-Helium-Dogs and children

The topic I chose for my Helium this week was: Dogs and Children: What to consider when selecting a dog breed. I learned some new things while reading this Helium. I learned that it depends on how big your children are to decide what type of dog that you should consider getting. For example if you have a young child then I golden retriever is most likely the best bet since it does very well with children. But when your children get older you can get different dogs. Such as German Shepherd, Dobermans, and toy breeds. As I read the best essay I saw that the author knew what he was talking about. He had all of his facts and even knew some of the special characteristics to some of the breeds, not just their names. He also put all of his writing into three main points, which made it easier for anybody to read this essay. The author also gave you good advice about what to do before making your final decision. Overall I think that this essay was very well written and had good key facts. The middle essay was pretty good. He has some of the good main points that the first essay had but what I didn't like was that he only pointed out a couple of breeds when he should not have mentioned a lot at all to keep the potential owner's mind open to all breeds. Also he made the black lab seem like a bad dog. All his dog needs is some training and not punishment. I feel like the essay overall was good but I think he should not have mentioned as many breeds as he did. The lesser essay it started off on a completely different topic than the prompt was. This author started off talking about the nature vs. nurture argument. I really think that he could have done without that. It just seemed to throw off his entire essay for me. This essay did have some good points but I feel like it could have had some more detail and better flow from paragraph to paragraph. I think that if I was to write this essay myself I would use some of the main points that the other essays used. I would, however, not mention that many dog breeds. I feel like if you mention to man breeds you might make the reader biased to some breeds. That would not be good. Every breed deserves an equal chance at a good home.

• "One had to cram all this stuff into one's mind for the examinations, whether one liked it or not. This coercion had such a deterring effect on me that, after I had passed the final examination, I found the consideration of any scientific problems distasteful to me for an entire year."
• "...one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought."
• "He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
• "A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
• "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts." (Sign hanging in Einstein's office at Princeton)

Something new and interesting is that I've never seen all of Albert Eistein's quotes before.

it was interesting to see all his quotes. I would recommend a classmate view this page because it can be aspiring in a way. Sources citied well. What was Alberts most influencial quote.

http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#1j2n0Z/monster-island.org/tinashumor/humor/breadkills.html/

Bread Kills!

1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.

2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.

3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations.

4. Every piece of bread you eat brings you nearer to death.

5. Bread is associated with all the major diseases of the body. For example, nearly all sick people have eaten bread. The effects are obviously cumulative:

• 99.9% of all people who die from cancer have eaten bread.
• 100% of all soldiers have eaten bread.
• 96.9% of all Communist sympathizers have eaten bread.
• 99.7% of the people involved in air and auto accidents ate bread within 6 months preceding the accident.
• 93.1% of juvenile delinquents came from homes where bread is served frequently.

6. Evidence points to the long-term effects of bread eating: Of all people born before 1839 who later dined on bread, there has been a 100% mortality rate.

7. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as little as a teaspoon of dough can be used to suffocate a lab rat. The average American eats more bread than that in one day!

8. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis.

9. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and being fed only water begged for bread after as little as two days.

10. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts.

11. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.

12. Newborn babies can choke on bread.

13. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.

14. Most bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling.

In light of these frightening statistics, we propose the following bread restrictions:

1. No sale of bread to minors.
2. A nationwide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign, complete celebrity TV spots and bumper stickers.
3. A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal ills we might associate with bread.
4. No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may appeal to children) may be used to promote bread usage.
5. The establishment of "Bread-free" zones around schools.

The prompt I review was coaching youth soccer- Tips on successful strategies. I learned that players have to work hard on their supporting skills, guessing the next move as quick as possible. Lots of explination and examples. A little bit more info needed to better understand the article. I approach the prompt by explaining it more, giving more info, and more elaboration. No citations.

Helium ?- Will Lampley- Characteristic of the child who is a dreamer

http://www.helium.com/items/1343917-characteristics-of-the-child-who-is-a-dreamer

Characteristics of the child who is a dreamer. The characteristics of a dreamer is for one they gazing looking off into space with stories or concepts whirling in their head. Artistry, imaging in the head, broad ideas. Concepts in that he can come up with drama, depth and intrigue. The author uses main ideas and points to convey the essay. More explination needed in the essay. I would explain the main ideas and points more to create a better essay.

Helium ?- Will Lampley- Should the gov. restrict exotic pet ownership?

The name of the prompt for the article is about "Should the government restrict exotic pet ownership" I learned that exotic pet ownership is restricted because of the special needs of exotic animals. The author used alot of opinions from people to answer the prompt. Some of the mistakes are some misunderstandings why exotic pet ownership may be restricted, they have special needs that need to be fulfilled. I would approach the prompt by answering the questions why might exotic pet ownership might be restricted. Next I would answer to what needs to be done to prevent the restriction of exotic pet ownership.

I find that the baby bat is interesting because of how small the baby bat is, and how it was able to survive a fall from it's nest without being hurt. The bat has actually survived the fall, something new that I haver rarely heard of a bat surviving a fall from it's nest. I would recommend this article to students because it teaches the rarity of bats surviving a fall from a nest. How is the bat able to survive from falling from it's nest and being taken care of humans.

http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#2RlJES/uberoops.com/archives/1738/ No citations What makes the Geico so interesting is how it's feet and legs are stretched out as far as they can go. What is new is that I have never seen a geico stretching it's legs and feet out sitting in a chair. I would recommend this article to students because it's interesting looking at the pic and how amusing a Geico can be. How were people able to pose the geico in the chair with it's legs stretched out. http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#1SQJBQ/www.buzzfeed.com/cbz3000/wrist-mounted-flamethrowers-are-perfect-for-any-oc-7xu/ What's interesting and new about the wrist mounted flame thrower is that it's very interesting how one can have a flame thrower mounted. And i've never seen a wrist mounted flame thrower in my life, so this is my first. I would recommend this article because It might be a useful weapon in war. How accurate is the wrist mounted flame thrower WILL LAMPLEY
