Smart set

Smart set is a class project that we are doing and I chose to do Zurich switzerland and I find it fasinating. The reason i’m doing Zureich is because I wanted to find a different place from every body else in a different countrie. In Zurich they have lots of festivities and fairs and here is the spring festival.

The reason I chose this picture is because it really shows how they look in Zürich when they are having festivities. Another reason I chose Zurich is because it had to be not a town or city in North America so I thought to myself maybe there is a place in Jamacia. Then I looked it up and I saw that the biggest city wasn’t that big after all. So then I thought haw about Switzerland and that is how I found  it. The city of Zurich so beutiful it maybe cool on some days but is is just an amazing place to live.

The Wave

In chapters 9-12 the flow in info is enormous. There is so much foreshadowing and that is what makes the book interesting. I wish I had some pics to show you but  I couldn’t find any on flickr.com. I really thought that the Wave book would have a picture on Flickr but I guess not. I even tried to find TheWave.com but it didn’t show anything about the book.But overall the end it is a really good book. So read it if you can I would mind you I all ready have.

The Wave.

The wave is a book about a history class experiment that went terribly wrong. The wave has a very big grasp on you once you start reading and you just can’t stop reading it. The wave has a certain  way of keeping its characters hidden so you have to find out what will happen next. The wave  has a certain way of getting your attention and keeping it while other books have a lot of ways to keep attention but the wave has a way of  keeping you occupied. The history classes experiment was about Hitler’s Germany and the Nazis and also about the concentration camps that killed thousands of Jews.

The history teacher was caught by a students question and had to figure out what the answer was. Then he made a group called the wave. The group was like a little youth group of teens that came to find out the answer to the question. That is when it got out of hand the wave was taking over the school.

The gaping hole costume!

At last, technology has evolved enough to accommodate our dream costume. Evan Booth built this Gaping Hole sweatshirt in late 2006, using a portable DVD player’s LCD in front, connected to the camera in back by shoulder straps.

Brilliant! Now that video cameras are smaller, cheaper and higher quality, and screens are flatter and have longer battery life, imagine what you could do next Halloweenwith an all-HD setup. You have eight months. Really that is a cool costume and it would make an awesome Halloween costume. Who would have thought of that kind of use to technology for the right kind of scary purpose. I think that this hole is pretty good and should be used a fair amount during Halloween. I also think that the guy who made this costume should become a Halloween costume designer.

That’s a scary costume that I wouldn’t want to come to my door.

My almost finished house.

Here is a pic of my new house  being built. this is one of the door ways. Here is one of the bathroom tiles. It took 2 and a 1/2 years to build that is a long time.  I have another picture to show you of the out side of my house from the lake.this is the back that faces the lake and you really get alot of sun through the windows. We moved in to the new house Christmas eve and had our first Christmas in the new house. we had a 16 foot Christmas tree and whent a little over board with the lights.  My uncle who came to visit said we had more lights than he has seen in a bar in Montreal. 3 days after christmas we took down everything and it took the whole day to do that. We are still unpaking and are almost done we went to Winnipeg for a break after christmas and got a flat screen T.V. that is 52 inches.

Child slavery and blogs.

My teacher had us do an assignment and what we had to do was find news that would be interesting and this is what I found quite interesting. My news is about child slavery and labour I think it needs to stop and if you want some blog sites here is one of the ones that I found http://www.mockpaperscissors.com/?p=12913  it has a fair amount of info and I read some and was baffled at the info they put out. During my searching I thought what kind of slave labour is happening around the world and I came across this link http://www.aidworkers.net/?q=node/1948  I was amazed at what I found on this one link. On another link I found a vast variety of labours and harassments   http://freedomcenter.org/freedom-forum/index.php/2008/12/togo-child-servants-live-slavelike-existence/  I think it is sad that kids around the world and mostly in third world contries have to take this abuse and slavery.  I think it is sick that kids get taken from their familys and lives and get stuck in a world were you work or you don’t get your living which is very disgusting in so many ways. Then there are girls that get stuck with sexual harassment and the sex trade like our world has changed in so many ways it is just wrong to see kids from the ages 8 to when they are fully grown and it is sad because that means they don’t get educated like you and I. Here is another link to check out http://paulstokes.blogspot.com/2008/11/child-slavery-in-sudan.html\ this link is all about the slavery of chideren in sudan. This is the last link I have http://blogs.amnesty.org.uk/blogs_entry.asp?eid=2435.  I think childeren around the world should all not have to be taken in to captivity like animals but live normal lives and be educated like me and you so I think that all childeren should be able to live wtih their familys and live happy lives so WORLD LETS STOP CHILD ABUSE AND SLAVERY AND VERY MUCH THE SEX TRADE.

Blogging and RSS look back!

Blogging: Blogs are meant for telling others stories or different things but there are some bad things about it you can get spam.My style of blogs posts are from my past and my present. The widgets you can get are endless the one I like the best is the hit counter and the cluster map. My cluster map reads 214 and I had to get a new one so my new one only shows the last 123 hits. The great thing about blogs are a special widget can catch any spam that is sent to you.

 

 

RSS: An Rss is a kind of page that you can make. The one I made is a igoogle home page. The good thing about it is I can have as many tabs on it as I want. Right now I have 7 tabs on it and the tabs can be any thing you want. Like I have a home tab,music tab, school tab,games tab,movie tab and I even have a pets tab. The reason for all my tabs are for on my own time. The most important tab I have is a Around the globe tab and that’s for school. Rss’s can be updated and even made better by changing the theme my theme is the WHY SO SERIOUS (it scares me!!!!!) just kidin but it really is cool so go and have fun with one.

My life.

My life has had some ups and downs. When I was 18 months I was diagnosed with cancer and the doctors didn’t know it was there until one night I was at home and I started crying and woke my sister up she didn’t know what was wrong so she went and told my mom who rushed into my sisters  room and tried to figure out what was wrong. But she didn’t know either so she took me to the hospital and they found the lump on my left side and rushed me to the emergency room where I went through chemo and it just kept coming until they operated on my side and i’m 12 and still have the scar.

Control your mouse with your voice,if you don’t mind sounding crazy.

This mouse you can control your voice with this mouse is a microphone that moves the cruiser with out even lifting a finger all that you do is say is(ahh,ooo,ooh,ohh and a soft clicking sound). The word have different ways of reacting like the ahh means to go up to right ooo will send the cruiser straight down ooh will send the cruiser just right and the click means click. Using a mouse to navigate a computer is certainly convenient, at least it is if you have working arms and hands. For the disabled, however, it’s much harder. That’s why researchers from the University of Washington have developed a use that’s controlled via various sounds you can make with your mouth.
