Well I saw this article and it has the same viewpoint I do on blogging; its a bad idea. The points given in this article are very good, like the fact that blogging prevents human interaction. Also the article shows very well that a writing doesnt need to be long to get your point across.

http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#1abzb0/www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2009-09/scientists-find-thc-gene-hemp/




In this stumble they talk about the level of THC in certain plants and how Scientist at the University of Minnesota are researching the Genes in hemp plants that have high levels of THC and they believe they may have found a way to reduce the level of it and make it legal to grow as a cash crop.

Unusual Trees
http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#2bJ5tP/woondu.com/really-unusual-trees//
This to me is the craziest Stumble I have found so far, It was simply a bunch of crazy pictures of crazy trees. These trees have grown over the years and haven't let anything stop them. There are some trees that grew threw the roof of a building. Another didn't bother to move what was in its way, it grew around it, threw it, or into it. some people were relatively smart and built around the trees or made alterations for the trees.















































Snake With Foot Found In China
http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#1qQ5kW/www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/wildlife/6187320/Snake-with-foot-found-in-China.html/topic:Animals


This shouldn't surprise you that I have a stumble with animals as I think i always have so far. This is rather extraordinary however. This woman in China says she woke up one night and turned on the lights to see and snake clinging to her wall with its one leg. Natural instinct she wasn't sure what it was at first and killed it on the spot rather than capturing it and preserving it. It is stated they are currently studying the snake at an institute in China

Stumble me baby one more time! - Brittany Bowers

You may be asking yourself, why on earth did she pick this article? Well! As soon as I saw you just can’t stumble through it as a subtitle, I had to pick this as my stumble choice. As you read this article, you will find out that it is actually about acting. The article talks about the true gods of the big screen, examples you ask? Well, Martin Sheen for one. This article explains how the true big wigs of Hollywood do it, as an article on how to. Main pointers for the short piece are: consistency, relax, do not actually be drunk, slur your words, adjust that balance of yours, and of course, be emotional. These are just a few of many pointers that the article shows you.

http://www.google.ca/holidaylogos.html
Why? Because I can!! The Google logos are quite amazing, not to mention Graphic design. Hence why I picked this site as my second wonderfully amazing stumble. Graphic design is here and now, as I said in my senior project for high school. Anyway, back to the site at hand, each holiday Google has their logo modified and unique to fit that holiday’s description. Which is really unique! I heart Google. For each design, a different designer. Thank you Google for diversifying our interwebs.

Young, upcoming artists of the future have a huge advantage off of older artists. The internet has turned learning new art forms and techniques quite easy, with video tutorials and not to mention just tutorials in itself. The art based community is ever growing, and the internet is just speeding it along like a missile. Art to me, is the future. Other people may enjoy this site if they just have a tendency to want to learn.

In 1911, Niagara Falls froze. I would recommend this site to someone who is interesed in the rare thing. No sorces are cited. I would like to know how cold the temperature was and how many times Niagara Falls froze.

Kasey Talley-Signs your College Student is Homesick

Homesickness is a very important problem especially this time of the year. College students start feeling homesick because of new surroundings, away from family and friends. This article helps parents identify signs that their child may be homesick. It gives senarios such as the child constantly making negative comments about school, crying histerically, and begging and pleading to come home. The article warns parents to be tough by not giving in right away but also to be aware of there childs surroundings as they adapt to their new life. The other articles talk about how parents once were in their childs situation and their parents had to give them tough love as well. Its hard on the parents just as much on the students.

Helium ;; Katey Medlin

I read about what is and isn't cheating. I like this one because its very true in life. I have always stated some of the things that were talked about in this article. I learned that there is more then one way to look at cheating and what cheating is. Also, it gave me a broader outlook on relationships. I think the writers were different and had different types of writing. I would enjoy writing about this. I think it would make a vary good essay.

http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#2bezic/pass-forward.blogspot.com/2009/09/stroke-signs.html/

I stumbled across this article called “recognizing a stroke.” It was kind of sad to read that Ingrid had passed away because she had tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. Now they didn’t recognize that she had had a stroke but whom really would of other than a paramedic? I surely wouldn’t have thought anything of it. But from now on I know that if I just remember S.T.R. I will be able to predict whether she had a stroke. S standing for SMILE, T stands for asking the individual to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE, and R stands for ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS. If we all just remember S.T.R. than we can save a life! I would recommend this site to anyone because I believe it is very important to know! Joelet Reyes forwarded this article so we don’t really know who came up with this, however it is copyrighted. This was a very simple and to the point article that could save a life.

http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#2Xj3D9/www.npr.org/blogs/health/2009/09/swine_flu_vaccine_coming_soon.html?ft=1&f=103537970/

I stumbled across this article about “Swine Flu Vaccine: Coming Soon To An Arm Near You.” This article is by: Richard Knox. Instead of the sine flu vaccinations not being until mid October they should now be in “Americans arms in the first week of October!” That is good news!!!! However, they have not decided who will be the first to receive the vaccinations so all this talk about the infants, pregnant women, and elderly getting the shots first is NOT true. It states in this article “the early release of vaccine will presumably not be available for children because the pediatric studies of vaccine safety and effectiveness are still underway.” “One spokesman at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention says they’re likely to be the nation’s 13.5 million health care workers and 2.6 million first responders to be the first to receive this vaccine. Which makes sense because if there not here to help the elderly and victims in accidents that who will be there to help them if the ones that do this are diagnosed with the swine flu? They are not sure how many doses will be released in October but some will be vaccinated for the swine flu, so that is good news! I just wonder how long it takes the scientists to make the vaccine? Because if they have already made “20 million” doses than why can’t they still make them and be able to have more vaccines ready by October? I would recommend this to anyone because I know that everyone is curious about the swine flu and they all want to know more.

http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#4PAccd/www.foodchannel.com//

I stumbled upon this last article and it caught my eye because I love mac and cheese the only thing that turns me off about this is the lobster. I like regular mac and cheese and with it having lobster in it just turns my noise. However, I would try it! It says that this dish is served in “chic restaurants” over the U.S., but I don’t know what a chic restaurant is so I would have to just make it at home. It does not seem hard to make it calls for 16 different ingredients but it only has 7 steps for preparation. This article is sited and copyrighted by The Food Channel, and if you have any further question you can comment them, “they would love to hear from you.” I would recommend this recipe to anyone that likes to try new dishes and anyone interested in cooking. I wouldn’t mind trying this myself.

Social issues faced by exotic pet owners - 9/15 Justin Katz

I reviewed the social issues faced by exotic pet owners. I learned that the different types of pets are as original and unique as their owners. The author incorporated her experiences personally, which supports what she says. The lower rated essays were all over the place and had horrible spelling. I would tackle this topic by putting my opinion and supporting it with facts.

9/15 Helium Will Chase

My prompt was about necessities in your college dorm room. It talks about four things, personal hygiene, laundry, bedding, and studying. Then it tells about each category in a paragraph. I learned that we can spend up to about a third of our lives in bed. In the best prompt the author organized it by talking about each category in a different paragraph. In the lesser prompts the author did the same thing by talking about each category. But they talked about to many. If I were to write about this prompt I would pick five major categories and talk a little about each one.

1.In Australia have created "Mona Lisa" from coffee with milk

This stumble caught my attention because i love art and there is no greater piece then the Mona Lisa. Now it's even better because it is made out of coffee and milk instead of oil pastels.

4. Essay #70 wasn't just about ghosts, it was also about an affair and a t.v. show. Essay #142, they made mistakes throught the way they wrote it. They wrote the essay how someone would talk.
5. I would write about ghosts I've seen and researched and start from there. Then I would write from person experiences and try to make it a little more interesting for people to read.

http://www.helium.com/items/852794-are-blondes-really-less-educated-than-most-people
the essay that i read about what talking bout blonde's, and how they are stereotyped because of the color of their hair. my first essay that i read,which was the top essay, talked about how people judge them. the author also talked about how there are some blondes that are really smart and how they pass with flying colors, but on the weekends they act dumb. the author also mention how it easy to act dumb even though you are not because people already expect for you to be dumb because of how u look; or expect for u to be smart because of how you look. the author really made you think, and they asked a lot of questions. the last essay was more of a personal essay. he talked bout how he has blond hair and he has good grades. this essay is not as good as the first, simple because it didn't really leave you thinking about the topic like the first essay. the middle essay is more of an opinion essay. how the celebrities in the media give blondes a bad name because of how they act. how times as changed and that blondes no longer rule the rule, that they are just as smart.

helium frazier first dates

The prompt I choose to review was on people first dates. The best article I read was very interesting. She talked about how she was new in the dating scene, because she had just gotten out of a bad marriage. She used her life experiences in her old marriage, to help shape what she wanted her dating to be like. The last article about first date was just to wordy for me. I lost focus in the middle of the story. Compare to the first article, I think it was less detail in a way that it did not get straight to the point.

Caldwell Helium Autmn Raking Leaves

I read the essays dealing with autumn and raking leaves. Even thought the essays deal with autumn they are supposed to be a drama. While reading these essays one may learn that many people think about the country and small farm houses when they think about autumn becasue of the pretty colors of the leaves when they change. The essay that was voted number on was a about a mother and daughter who just lost the father or husband. The girl who wrote this answered the topic by writting in it as a play. She also told you how the people in the plays feel while they are talking. She told about how things change and even though sometimes things change and we do not want them too it will be okay and work out. The essay that was voted to be the last one is not as detailed as the first one. They are almost missing the piont of autumn, the pretty leaves and colors, and seem to be making it a bad thing. I would go on the fact that autumn is a good time to show someone change is good. The color of the leaves are changing and making everything enen more pretty and that sometimes change is not what they want but sometimes it is a good thing if you just sit back and let things happen.

stumble upon-how medical marijuna became legal-Roger Parloff

Today i stumbled upon how marijuana became legal. For thirty eight years Irvin Rosenfeld has been smoking ten to twelve rolled marijuana cigarettes. He has a rare blood disease which was diagnosed when he was ten years old. Rosenfeld was one of four people in the Unite States that is given three hundred rolled marijuana cigarettes every twenty five days by his pharmacy. Now thirteen states have laws that let people smoke medical marijuana. There are many other states that are trying to pass these laws to help people with diseases.




I stumbled upon a baseball game that was during this past summer. A man took his son who has down syndrome to see his favorite baseball team play for his twenty first birthday. In the bottom of the eighth inning the father reached over the wall to catch a foul ball. The father missed the ball and flipped over the side smashing his face into the ground. While the kid not able to help his father, Albert Pujols ran over and helped the helpless man. After falling from the stands Tepas found out that Albert Pujols had a daughter who also had down syndrome. Because of his father falling from his seat, Keith was able to meet his favorite baseball player Alber Pujols.

Gooding-Helium-Adopting a rabbit

Everybody has their dream of a perfect pet. For some its dogs and other's its cats. However, for some it is the love and fluffiness of a rabbit. There are many considerations to think about when getting a rabbit and this helium can answer a lot of people's questions. I reviewed the prompt "Things you need to know before adopting a rabbit". I learned that you can train a house rabbit to use a litter box and that they are very clean animals. However, even though they are litter box trained they are still prone to accidents. The best essay on this topic was very informative. She gave clear differences between caged rabbits and house rabbits. She also told how each one should be taken are of and what their different needs are. For example, a home needs to be rabbit proof if you are to get a house rabbit, but if you have a caged rabbit you must provide a nesting area. The author also talks about the daily needs of a rabbit, such as food, water, and daily grooming. She describes the many health hazards that rabbits are prone to and what can be done to help. The authors is very detailed and you can tell she knows what she's talking about. I feel like the author had a great structure throughout her essay and made it flow really well. For the middle essay I think it was alright. The author knew her points and what she was talking about but she put her points in a list and just left it like that instead of elaborating on each one a little. I didn't really feel like this was an essay. i felt more like it should have been a list at the local pet shop instead of an essay. Other than that I feel like the author knew what she was talking about, but she just needed to elaborate more. For the worst essay it was okay. The author had some good points but the paragraphs seemed to be a little long and run-onish. I feel like she could have separated the paragraphs more to make it flow better and easier to read for most people. I also think that she talked to long about some topics and not as long as others.

Tyricee Pelzer-Helium- Black basketball history

1. I reviewed the prompt on Basketball history: Integration of basketball. 2. I learned that the all-negro team had an illegal game with the university of Duke in 1944. This was the first time black displayed there talent on the hardware floor introducing the fast-break offense. 3. The writer use writing element first by giving us the history behind it. Then, the writer came with the facts on how the great players influence college. 4. One mistake I observed was how the writer jumped from civil rights movement to basketball, back to Martin Luther King it was fishey.lol. 5. If i was writing a essay in response i would also mention the great white player, or hipanic players. We all have an impact on the sport of basketball no matter your color, or race.

http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#2SJLLM/www.wolaver.org/Humor/bear.htm/

I chose this picture because It is funny and I think there is a hidden message in the picture. I thought this picture was very interesting because its a black bear hanging on a rope trying to get food out of a bird feeder. The bear is like saying to himself I will get this food out no matter what. I would recommend this to a classmate if they needed a good laugh or needed something to brighten their day. The pictures have no sources posted so there for they are poorly cited and you can not give credit to the person who took the picture and the person who posted it. After looking over these pictures I had to ask How does a 300lbs Black Bear climb up a tree and across a rope to eat bird seed is he confused? I don't think he looks like a bird or squirrel.


http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#2nTchA/www.photopharm.com/when-you-confiscate-mexican-drug-lords-property-expect-gold-big-homes-and-big-cats//topic:Bizarre%2FOddities

I chose these pictures because I was amazed in how Mexican drug lords have so much money. They have so much money they can waste it on panthers, lions, tigers, and even guns made out of gold. I would recommend this to a classmate because it shows even if you have all those guns and that much money you still can and will be taken down by law enforcement. There are sources on this page you just have to click the links and it takes you to the place where they got the pictures and information. My question is with all this money and guns how do they get caught???


http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#3Uo2vS/www.anomalies-unlimited.com/Prayer.html/topic:Bizarre%2FOddities

I chose this picture and little article because i thought it was amazing and very thoughtful. This man was in jail and had time to think of a way to write the Lords Prayer in his skin. He had six silver pins and one gold pin and on those pins was the Lords Prayer which he had etched on to those little pins and this was not visible to the naked eye. I would recommend this to a classmate because I found it very interesting and diffrent.

Helium Emily Guenthner

The Prompt that I chose for my Helium blog this week, is The possible link between video game violence and children's behavior. The number one essay brought up a lot of points that could be true about the effects that these violent video games have on the minds of the young children who play them. That mentally and emotionally these children are changing every time that they play these violent video games. The best essay just flowed better than the other two, it was easy to rad and understand what the author wanted us to get out of his paper. The last essay that I read was not as easy or interesting to read at all. I found there to be choppy sentences which made the flow of the paper impossible. If I were going to write on this topic I would make sure to include the facts and give more examples and studies that were done on th
is topic.

Helium Jacob Darling

The Prompt that I used in today’s Helium was how yeast makes bread rise. After reading these prompts I learnt that yeast east sugar and excretes carbon dioxide gas and ethyl alcohol. I also learnt that for the yeast to make the bread taste good it and for it to become active the temperature for fermentation needs to be 33 to 130 degrees F. I found that the better-written prompts had more descriptive detail explaining why and how yeast causes bread to rise. If I were to write a response I would also give detailed examples on the prompt I would also make sure that my grammatical errors were kept minimal allowing the reader to get a better understanding of the prompt.

Today I stumbled upon a picture taken in 1911 of the Niagara fall. Niagara fall is a famous/beautiful water fall and in 1911 it was completely frozen. This is an amazing picture, because even though the water fall is frozen it is still nice to look at or visit back when it was frozen. I can only imagine that the crystal in the ice sickles were beautiful let alone the ice sickles themselves are huge! I just thought this was a nice picture and if others stable upon it i encourage them to take a look at it.

I stumbled across one of the best pictures ever. The muftis was one of the best shows. They are so adorable and funny at the same time. All little children show watch the show because it can be educational at times.




http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#1yFI6i/www.uberpix.net/928/tobacco-will-murder-you//topic:Photography

This is the best picture I've seen on stumble since I've started blogging "Tobacco will Murder You." This picture is about how a cigarette kills a little boy by shooting the boy in the head. This is a good message to people not to smoke. I think my peers that smoke should take a good look at this picture and see if it alters their decision to smoke.

Stumbleupon- Tim Cigelske- beer

I was looking around stumble upon and i can across an article stating that beer is better for rehydration then water is. The scientist gave them two pints on beer after a treadmill run in 104 degree heat. Scientist believe the sugar, salt, and the carbonation in the beer helps people absorb the fluids more quickly. The carbohydrates replace the calories lost during the work out. What if you goal was to drop ten pounds should you still drink the beer after working out? You would just be wasting your time if you did. Your just replacing the calories that you just lost in the work out. What if you wanted to gain muscle should you still drink the beer after working out? I don't think beer has really been known for giving you a six pack. If this is true why are the big name athletes drinking water and gatorade and not beer. Its just hard to believe that beer is better then water for rehydration.

StumbleUpon- Lauren Blake Proffitt- Politics Explained

I find this site very humorous and somewhat insiteful. It explains politics in a metaphore for farming and does it very well. Some of the political structures I have studyed are pretty much the same on this page so I assume that the ones I do not know about are close enough on this site as well. I recomend this site to anyone who wants a laugh or wants to know a littel about the worlds ploiticts. The page is not cited that I can see. I wonder if there is a site that would explain religion this clrearly.

StumbleUpon- Lauren Blake Proffitt- Periodic Table of Elements

I stumbled onto a Periodic table of Elements that is much more than just a picture. If you scroll over an element it will give you almost any onfromation about that element you would ever want. This is very interactive and extreamly useful to anyone either in the scientific field or just a student studying science. There aren't vany sources no this page but I don;t belive it would be type of page to call for them. My question is; how long did it take to make this page? This is alot of information to put down.
