stumble upon Wk1- Kasey Talley

http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#2WazJ4/blogoscoped.com/files/stripes.html/- I stumbled upon these two images one was a white paper with unevenly spaced black lines and the other was bunch of evenly spaced vertical lines. When you slowly slide the vertical black lines over the white paper it creates a image. The images is a cat that appears to be running in place! The image is taken from the book "Gallop!" by Rufus Butler Seder. I thought it was very
entertaining watching the image move as I pulled the one image over the other.

http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#1AaE5v/leogeo.com/28_timebeat.htm/ - The second thing that I stumbled upon was a clock. I thought that this was very cool and unique. At first I couldn't understand what it was doing but after a few minutes I finally realized that it was a clock telling the exact time. It is very neat how the seconds spine around on the page and come from no where. I was very impressed by the graphic design that went into making this 3D animated clock.

http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#2W0NKX/www.unicat.net/en/pics/EX70HDQ-MANTGA6x6-2.html/- The last thing I stumbled was pictures of a truck that at first glance looked like a metal convoy truck but as i contunied to scroll down the page i learn that it wasn't an ordinary combat truck. When they say a vechiele s loaded this one really is! Its like a mini mansion on wheels. It contains a four wheeler located under the back of the truck, as well as a fully furnished kitchen and sleeping quarters. This truck comes with all the nessesites to survive in the desert or any remote location.

MAKING YOUR OWN LOW BUDGET HORROR!


This website was interesting to me because I love horror movies and learning behind the scenes about them. The Picture was what caught my attention. I decided to keep reading. The basic idea of this article is teaching you how to make bloody, gorry fake human parts. The only way that I would recommend this website to another classmate would be if they liked horror films too. If you don't like horror films, please don't read this. It's gross and it makes you feel like you really are watching a horrow film. It's also not sourced very well. They only have one more source you can go to and that is zonehorrortv.com. One question about this article that I would have is how much time does it take for a horror film to come together?








This website focused on the positive outcomes of a four day, ten hour work day. It showed that energy costs, fuel emmisions and operational costs were lowered in effect to this new deal. I think it would also help with more pleasant people and rested people as well. I would recommend this website to anyone because bossess need to read this especially if it is a 5 day business. it has plenty of positive outcomes to it. It was very well sourced. It included about 5 more sources and websites that you could go to in order to find out more about the effects of four day, 10 hour workdays. The only question I have is I want to know more outcomes of this idea.



I chose this article about yoga because I just changed one of my classes to yoga at school. I am interested in learning more about the different types of yoga positions that go with each. I did not know that there were so many different types of yoga. I knew that there were many different positions you can get into. If you are taking a yoga class anywhere, whether it be at school or not, I recommend this article. If you have no clue what type of yoga class you are in, this article will help you determine what type you are enrolled in. It did not post anymore sources as a whoel article except for each type of yoga had an additional source. I want to know what type of yogi I am.

Today I read a poem that talks about how young children want to grow up faster then there time. I think the poem is right.As a child I wanted to grow up , and be an adult because being an adult seemed so much funner then being a kid , and there were more things to do as you got older. As a child I didn't understand that as you get older you have more responsibilities. Or as you you get older you have more things to stress about and worry about because of life. Another thing I realized by reading this poem was that a lot of things change as you get older , like the people you hang around , whether or whether not you choose to allow peer pressure to affect you. All in all I've realized growing up has its ups and downs , and it just depends how you manage yourself and your life. Although growing up isn't the most exciting thing to do it has be done , so you should just make the best out of it.
Life is to short to be anything but happy. I agree with that statement entirely. There are some things in life that you have control over but most matters you can't control. The things that you can control are normally the most stressful for some reason. Sometimes as a person you have to learn to sit on the sidelines and let life happen to you. Having a nonchalant attitude works sometimes especially when there are things you can't manage solely under you control.
Given the physical characteristics of the " Common Suspect " , our bias generally lean toward the media. I did an activity where I had to choose the criminal that committed a particular crime.I noticed that in trying to choose the culprit that stereotyping was a big part of my decisions.Prior to doing that exercise I wasn't aware of how much stereotyping can play a part in the choices people make.If the activity asked for someone that does crack I looked for a thinner person who appeared to be strung out. Now that I am thinking about it the more and more confused I become , Was I stereotyping or making an attempt to criminal profile?
