Blog Assignment #31/My Choice Feature".

GREEK MYTHOLOGY             

             Greek Mythology is bad. Their books like the Percy Jackson series are good books,but they don't teach the right thing. They have all these FALSE gods. It is very bad for the mind of children.The children who don't know Jesus shouldn't try to learn about Greek Mythology.

             I like the books. The Percy Jackson series were probably the best books I have ever read.It is very entertaining to read. You just need to know that Jesus Christ, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit are the beings you need to follow. I think that the authors should put "don't believe what you just read" in the back of the book.

             In Greek Mythology they have so many gods. I am so so so glad that I only have to remember the name of the ONE true God. It is so hard to figure out all the names of their gods. Some of the names are Poseidon, Athena, Aphrodite, Zeus, Hades, and Ares. I'm glad I don't  have to remember all those names. It is interesting to learn in History class, but not if you don't know who the one true God is.

         It is a very interesting topic. To learn about this you have to have very good memorization skills. I don't like to memorize many things. It is to hard to learn.I wouldn't like to learn about it until I read the books and until I knew the one true God and that no one would be able to take him from me. God is the one everyone should love. He loves and made everyone.

        I hope no one actually takes this stuff seriously.It is very hard to stress how much this stuff will harm you. You will go to Hell. I want to go to HEAVEN ,but only Christians go to heaven. If you love Jesus Christ you will go to Heaven.

         God will help you through hard times. You won't regret becoming a Christian. It will be the BEST decision that you ever make. If you don't become a Christian you will die. You need to love God as your Lord and Savior.It will help you so much!! MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE!!!!!!!!

Blog Assignment #26 / NYTimes Travel

San Diego

        If San Diego feels half empty, that's because it is. At any given time, swarms of residents moved a few miles south to Mexico or a few miles north to upscale resort towns. Also, the Navy is the area's largest employer, so a big chunk is  floating around on aircraft carriers somewhere. Is it any wonder, then, that the town leans so heavily on big tourist attractions (Shamu, the zoo)? A deeper look, however, will reveal more personality than you think. A necklace of quirky, sun-kissed neighborhoods rings downtown, from surfer hangouts like Pacific Beach to cool neighborhoods like University Heights. Restaurants are cool too. There is even an history which for Southern California, is a headline in itself.

San Francisco

         For much of the 1990s, San Francisco’s Mission District maintained a good balance between its colorful Latino roots and a subculture. Rising real estate prices not only threatened the Mission’s working-class enclave, but also its status as the city’s center of all things edgy and artsy. Boutique knick-knack shops came in alongside dollar stores. But prosperity did not sap the district of its cultural eclecticism. With a population that is about half Latino, a third white and an estimated 11 percent Asian, the Mission still remains a wonderful mishmash. Where else can you find epicurean vegan cafes, feisty nonprofits and a Central American butcher shop that, for a memorable time.

 Santa monica

 
       Venice (to the south) has its charms, and Malibu (up north) is celebrity central, but only Santa Monica feels homey. Residents enjoy cultural institutions, athletic facilities, and stores and restaurants of the highest order. In August, Santa Monica Place, an awesome indoor-outdoor mall a few blocks from the beach, reopened, with offerings both high and low (a food court with priceless sunset-over-the-ocean views). The local art scene heated up this fall with the arrival of L&M Arts, Los Angeles (660 Venice Boulevard), a branch of the blue-chip New York gallery. The space in a former power station in Venice near the Santa Monica border  was inaugurated with new works by the Los Angeles-based conceptual artist Paul McCarthy, on view through November 6.

         I would most likely want to visit San Diego. It looks so cool. I would love to go see Shamu in a different state. It would be fun to learn history there too. I think it would be cool to eat some of there culutural food. It looks like a very fun place to go.

Blog assignment #29/Facebook

   FACEBOOK

      Facebook is a website where you can chat with your friends. You can play games and post pictures. You can say who you want to be friends with ,and who you don't want to be friends with. We use it to have fun. Sometimes people don't use it right though. It is very sad.
    I get on faceboook when I'm bored. It is easy to use. If you have a question you can chat with your friends or you can post it on their wall. It can be harmful by becoming friends with the wrong people. If you are friends with people you don't actually know, it can be very bad. You never know what they will post on your wall.
    It is a fun website if you use it right. You shouldn't post pictures sthat are bad. Yes, it is fun to post pictures, but you need to make sure they are appropriate pictures. If you post something on your wall that is bad, it can't change. Once you post something, you  can't deletet it. So you need to use the website right.
    I think people shouldn't be on facebook all the time. I just get on it after I finish my homework if there is nothing on tv to watch. It  should not be like you can't do anything, but be on facebook. You should still be able to do other things like go outside, sleep, have friends over, and do a lot of other stuff. Facebook shouldn't be your life.
  Facebook should be your last alternative. You shouldn't even get on it much. It is fun when you have nothing else to do, but you should get bored with it after a couple hours. It is cool to be able to go on it, but we need to know when it is time to get off the computer and go do something else. Some days you shoouldn't even get on facebook just so you don't get addicted to it. It is a fun website, but it can be harmful.

Blog Assignment #25/Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin



           Sarah Louise Palin was born on February11, 1964.She was the youngest person and first female to become governer of Alaska. She was the first Alaskan on the national ticket of a major party, as well as the first female vice-presidential nominee of the Republican Party. In 2008 she was John Mcain's running mate. She was running to be vice president. On July 3, 2009, Palin announced she would not seek reelection as governor. She was resigning for good.

              In November 2009, her autobiography Going Rogue: An American Life was released and it quickly became a best-seller. It sold more than two million copies. In January 2010, Palin began providing political commentary to the Fox News Channel under a multi-year contract. It was announced in March 2010 that she was to host her own TV show, called Sarah Palin's Alaska. Palin is authoring a second book, America by Heart, which is expected to be on shelves by November 23, 2010.

          In June 2007, Palin signed a record $6.6 billion operating budget into law. At the same time, she used her veto power to make the second-largest cuts of the construction budget in state history. The $237 million in cuts represented over 300 local projects, and reduced the construction budget to $1.6 billion. Palin followed through on a campaign promise to sell the Westwind II jet, a purchase made by the Murkowski administration for $2.7 million in  against the wishes of the legislature. The jet was later sold for $2.1 million.

              In 2005, before Palin was elected governor, Congress passed a $442-million earmark for constructing two Alaska bridges.The Gravina Island Bridge received nationwide attention as a symbol of pork-barrel spending, following news reports that the bridge would cost $233 million in Federal funds. Because Gravina Island, the site of the Ketchikan airport, has a population of 50, the bridge became known nationally as the "Bridge to Nowhere". Following an outcry by the public and some members of the US Senate, Congress eliminated the bridge earmark from the spending bill but gave the allotted funds to Alaska as part of its general transportation fund.  In 2006, Palin ran for governor with a "build-the-bridge" plank in her platform.

            Her siblings are Chuck, Jr., Heather (Bruce), and Molly (McCann).While Palin was an infant, the family moved to Alaska, where her father found more opportunities for his teaching job.The family first lived in Eagle River, but moved to Wasilla in 1972, when she was 8 years old. Palin played flute in the junior high band, then attended Wasilla High School where she was a member of the girls' basketball and cross country running teams. During her senior year, she was co-captain and point guard of the basketball team that won the Alaska state championship, earning the nickname "Sarah Barracuda" for her competitive streak.
