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
