stumble #1 - Emily Jones

The first web page that I came across while stumbling was http://www.breathingearth.net/. It is a really interesting website that shows a map of the world and allows you to scroll your mouse over most countries in the world and it displays the current population of the country, the death rate and the birth rate. For example, The United States had a population of 305,913,313 and a death every 12.6 seconds and a person born each 7.3 seconds. The site also shows the current world population and also how many people have been born or died since you have been viewing the web page. I recommend this site because it is really neat to see the stats on each country and exactly how many people have been born and died. The sources for the site our pretty well cited and i do not have any questions about the site it just begins to make you wonder about the population in the world.

The second web page I stumbled is a picture from National Geographic by Jim Reed at http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/wallpaper/img/2009/06/june09wallpaper-1_1280.jpg
It shows a picture of a small dirt road in the middle of an old field that looks like it was used for growing crops. There is a red SUV in the middle of the road and in the middle of the screen is a large sand storm tornado amongst white clouds with a storm in the background. It is really interesting because it is clearly visible that it is a stand storm. I recommend this picture because it is appealing and very quick to understand what is going on and what it would be like to live in the Midwest where storms like this are likely. The source is sited as National Geographic, and that is all.

The third web page i stumbled upon is called I Do Dog Tricks http://www.idodogtricks.com/index_flash.html The page pops up with a picture of a small Yorkshire Terrier dog that has a box that allows you to write in a command for the dog to perform. It only does common dog tricks however; tricks like bark, roll over, play dead, jump, dance. I recommend this site because it was interesting to fin new tricks that dog would complete on command, it was like have your own virtual dog without having to spend the hours training your dog. The sources are not very visible in this website but does have links to how to protect your pets which is what is being advertised.
