street art prompt. ps i still dont know how to get my pictures on the post

I wake up and get ready to go to work. I eat some breakfast and head out he door. On my way to work I decide to get a coffee at starbucks. I wait in line to get my coffee and talk to my neighbor. I finally get to the front of the line and order my coffee. I look at my watch and decide I could sit down and read for awhile. I read my newspaper and drink my coffee and think to myself "today is going to be a good day." all of a sudden there was a earth rattle in shake. My coffee spills everywhere and everyone around me is screaming. I look out the window of the starbucks. There is a massive object that is casting a shadow over the starbucks. The cashier rushes to the tv to turn on the news. There was a reporter on the screen. She said "the sky is falling." Everyone screamed even more loudly. The sceen behind her was horrific. There were two bodies behind her. One person had been crushed by the whole object. Another had been shanked with a clear part of the "sky". Is this the way that the world ends?... to be continued?

chapter 5 Guns, Germs, and Steel response

1. Explain to the best of your ability how radiocarbon dating works, and what some of the problems inherent with this type of testing are (pages 94-96)? You might also want to consult wikipedia for help on this one, but please use the book as well.
The way radiocarbon dating works is when an object decays it leave carbon. Carbon has a 'half life' and when using certain isotopes it is compared to another living thing from the current time and is found by the date. The formula that scientist use to find out how old the object is, is t = [ ln (Nf/No) / (-0.693) ] x t1/2


2. These days you can travel to just about any country in the world and find a McDonald’s or a Pizza Hut. Not that you’d want to, but you could. We live in a highly diversified global economy, and the accessibility of a wide variety of foods is consistent across most parts of the planet. However, this was not always true. In the recent past the part of the world you lived in would dictate what foods were available in your diet. According to the table on page 100 - and your general knowledge about the world - what part of the world would you have wanted to live on if you were alive 1,000 years ago?

heres the table i remade


countries r on the left, food is in the middle, and animals r on the right.
southwest asia- wheat, pea, olive sheep, goat
china- rice, millet pig silk worm
mesoamerica- corn, beans, squash turkey
andes and amozonia- potato, manioc llama, guinea, pig
Eastern united states- sunflower, goose foot none
sahel- sorghum, african rice guinea fowl
tropical west africa- african yams, oil palm none
ethiopia- coffee, teff none
new guinea- sugar cane, banana none
western europe- poppy, oat none
indus valley - sesame, eggplant humped cattle
egypt sycamore fig, chufa donkey, cat


I would have wanted to live in southwest asia because it was the most edible stuff in it. I just think it to be edible. I have picky taste.

Guns, Germs, and Steel chapter two question

What role did ‘geography’ play in the story of the Maori and the Moriori?

both group were Polynesian and were Maori. After the Maori had populated the Chatham islands they became the Moriori. After a few centuries the two groups became different types of people. The Maori on the North island developed more complex technology than the Moriori. The Moriori became hunter- gatherers and the Maori became farmers. This is what led to their fighting. Also different environment affected the way each groups lived and survived.

Chapter 1 questions, Guns, Germs, and Steel

1. The "fluke colonization theory" is the belife that the reason australia/new guinea became populated by people was because a few people including a pregnant woman were fishing on a raft got swept off to sea and happened to land on australlia.
Evidence that challenges this theory is that they would of had to had watercraft to reach australlia/new guina because it wasn't visible from the nearest island to it and it would be to far for someone to swim.

2. The lessons on what we have learned about the animals on the Galapagos Islands is that they had no predators to eat them a never died as much. They were so acusstomed to this living that when humans started to inhabit the islands that they wouldn't be scared of them. Could you amagine being able to hear those animals talk I bet it would sound like this. " hey what are you little guys. Hey cool sticks." next thing you know the animal is hanging over a fire getting cooked. Anyways next question. How do these animals apply to our thinking of the apparently quick mass extinctions of megafauna ( giant animals) in New Guinea and elsewhere?. Well my thinking is this. the big animals never really caught on to the fact that all the little dudes with sticks were actually humans trying to kill them. So then the animals all eventually became extinct. haha stupid animals....haha....

3. In what ways is the travel of Clovis decendants from North America to Patagonia ( southern edge of South America) in only 1ooo years immpressive. Well first the reason it toook so long for them to get to Patagonia is because they werenew to the area and they ended up wandering around until they finally got there. In what ways is it not immpresive? Well it's really the fact that they didn't know were the hell they were going.

4. What is "The Great Leap Forward"? Haha its sounds like some cheesy disney movie about hopscotch or an old movie that has to do with time travel. Anyways back to the question. "The Great Leap Forward" is really about humans migrating in other countries and islands. What aremy thoughts about it? Ummm I have none.

Dungeons & Dragons an evil killer!!!

Our assignment is to reply to a mom named Beatrice who claims D&D (dungeons and dragons) killed her son. Hmm...

Ok here's the story. Beatrice walks into her son billy's bed room and see's her son hanging by a rope in his closet. Then the paramedics come and takes her son away. Ok so now she see's that there is a stack of books that billy had been standing on and then kicked over and hung himself. And near the top not on top lies two D&D guides. So her conclusion is OMG D&D killed my boy! Then she calls a bunch of moms and finds out the billy was in a cult. And he had friends in the game but didn't really know him. So now she says that D&D an rpg (role playing games) should not be allowed to be played. She also said that she knew her son and that he wouldn't have done that. We'll beatrice guess what he did. I am sory for your loss.

My turn. Why the hell would you pop to the conclusion of OMG D&D killed your son. What other books were in the pile? Why if you "knew" your son did not know that he was part of a cult? Well I think that it might have not been D&D that killed her son instead it was maybe that beatrice didn't pay enough attention to her son. So then little billy's only place where he can feel belonging is in D&D. Or maybe it was pressure put on by his so called game friends? I don't think a game would cause her son to commit suicied. Ya ok so games can get addictive but thats why there is control or should be over the game time playing. Maybe thats what beatrice did not have and control her son's playing time on the game. Jumping to the conclusion of D&D killed billy is pretty ridiculos if you ask me.

Sincerely,
Derek

The Dog Racer

I am riding in a race with my giant dog. I am racing against other racers from around the world. the goal is to start in Sydney Australia, travel across all the continents and finish in Bejing China. The prize is abundant wealth and fame. I am the last along with three other racers out of twelve. Many racer have been disqualified from the race from getting stuck in traps or being severly hurt. There is much cheating and deception. So far I am in the lead with the other three racers behind me. they are gaining fast though. We are in the last leg of the race London to Bejing. Traveling as fast as the wind I make a gigantic leap over Egypt and land in Africa. I look behind me. One racer has been kicked off his steed by another racer. Now its only three of us. I look around me and see the African wildlife speed past me. One more leap and I land in Asia almost there. I look behind me another racer has dissapeared. Now it is just me and the other racer. We are now neck and neck. I can see the finish line. I beg my dog to go faster. We blaze through the finish line and are told the Even though I was behind the racer by an inch he was dissqualified for cheating. I have won the race and my dreams of becoming famous have come true.

Thompson's Violin

This is an assignment that are teacher gave to us.
Thomson’s Violin
One day, you wake up in hospital. In the nearby bed lies a world famous violinist who is connected to you with various tubes and machines.
To your horror, you discover that you have been kidnapped by the Music Appreciation Society. Aware of the maestro’s impending death, they hooked you up to the violinist.
If you stay in the hospital bed, connected to the violinist, he will be totally cured in nine months. You are unlikely to suffer harm. No one else can save him. Do you have an obligation to stay connected?
I would choose to stay connected to him and save him. It is not my obligation technically but I feel that as a human being it would be the right thing to do. Being in a hospital bed for 9 months would really get on my nerves and I would need to pass the time. I think I would talk to him about music, Christiantity, and other stuff. I don't know if I would except any bribes unless I really needed money. I know at some times I would want him to die so I could get out of the hospital and return to my normal life but I don't think I would ever actually mean it. I would also would want someone to do the same and to try and save me if that situation were to happen to me. So yes I would consider it to be my obligation to stay because of me being a human being.

Student Reflection

When we began school I felt that I was not going to be a very good student. The first few weeks I felt that I was going to fail my math class. I feel that I'm a better student now because I've gotten adjusted to the difference in this school compared to other schools. I have some challenges still. I've been working on improving my math grades and keeping up my other class grades. I feel that my weaknesses are continuing a normal level of how hard I work at something. My strengths are being creative. On a number over 100 I think I'm a 87. The reason I think this is because I try my best at times and I get distracted very easily but when I do try my best I come up with very good work. Always doing my best and  putting effort in my work always is what I'm trying to improve on. One of my goals for this year is to get all A's in my classes by the end of the year. I really enjoy my classes now that I've improved in them since the beginning of the year. I've also made more friends than I thought I would which has greatly improved my self esteem. I really think that this school will make me a smarter and better person.

Men in boxes

Bob knew that this year was his year to win the trophy and the bonus that came with it. Every year the buisness that Bob works at holds a series of compititions thats mostly for having a couple of laughs but for those competing it would earn them respect and a big fat check and of course a trophy. Bob lines up at the starting line along with five of his fellow workers. This was the main event he and the others were the winners of the days previous events. In front of him was a huge field with five boxes scattered about and in one of those boxes the prize that Bob had been striving for all day. He saw his box, the box that must have the check in it. BANG! goes the gun, they race for a box. Bob dives into one a searches for the check. No luck. Bob lifts off his box and sees that all of the other workers didn't find it either. In frustration Bob kicks his box. He spots something. Under Bob's box was the check. He pounced upon it and yelled in victory. The next day Bob was the most popular guy at work. He goes into his office and finds a note on his deck to report to the boss. Bob arrives at the office and his boss congradulates him on his victory and hands him the bonus money and trophy. Later that evening Bob was sitting in his bed with his marvelous trophy on his bedstand and thinks to himself " I knew I'd win". THE END

HTH retreats really random stuff

I think that our reatreat was soo frikin awesome!!! From the the food to the ropes course that place was awesome. I think that we should definitly have another one. Im sure all the other students would agree with me. I bunked with Brenen, Wesly, Cody, Evan (aka slayer), and Raef (srry if i selled it wrong) so I really didn't get much sleep. Cody and I were the atemted pranked of our little group. So ya we didn't get much sleep. On day two I walked out onto the stairs and saw a bunch of girls on the front balcony thingy of Mrs. Peirces cabin and Rachel and Krista yelled HI DEREK!! so I yelled back HI LAIDIES!! So ya a bunch of people know me now. Pretty sweet. Anyways I got to have the privilage of getting to know others better. Not gonna name names you know who you are. We had a bunch of hilarious moments in our cabin with Senior Gaines but What is said and done in the cabin stays in the cabin. Day three. Me and Bernie are on the rope bridge of the ropes the course and we get a little shaky so we start singing which was pretty funny espeacially cause we're horrible singers. Haa good times... The dance was pretty fun except there wasn't much music to dance to but the t shirt thingy was cool. By the way Mr. Miller is pro at rock, paper, sicciors even though he probaly cheats and I lost all three games......CHEATER!!!!!! Other stuff that happened Wesley, Cody, and Evan all were able to drop in on the half pipe by the end of the retreat. I tried it but fell all three times i did it which sucked. The thingy with spinning around with a bat to your forehead was fun. I did it abotu seven more times wow I got dizzy. The food was gteat though. The ropes course was fun also man that was high off the ground. Brett and I played soccer alot on the second and third day which was pretty fun except for the fact that I got owned by Gabby about fifty times!!! The no talent show was pretty fun also We did the rock movments one which was the most talented untalent evur!!! O yea and the night that a bunch of people jumped in the pool with all their clothes on was pretty cool I got to see the moon disappear OMG!!!! It was red ant in the shape of a cresent so then I turn around watching other people jump in then I turn around and the moon is gone OMG!!! The bus ride was long though hahaha and the fag rock. Yup that pretty much sums it up. If you didn't follow this then whatever I said this was random.

Your fellow student,
Derek

Writing in reverse paper: The best day of his life



This is Greg Martin. Greg Martin is a 32 years old Christian man is married and has two kids . He and his family live in New York. Today would be the best day of Greg's life. This morning Greg woke at 5:00 am to leave for work and remembering that today was his 5th wedding anniversary he decided to leave a note to tell his wife he would be home from work early. Greg wanted to take his wife to a romantic dinner so they could get away from the kids for a few hours and enjoy their anniversary. He rode to work on the subway and arrived a little early so he decided to head to the Starbucks across the street to get a cup of coffee. While in Starbucks he found a hundred dollar bill on the floor.

He asked who the money belonged to but nobody claimed it. When Greg finished his coffee he headed out of the Starbucks and crossed the street. In front of the huge building he worked in he saw a poor old homeless man begging for money. Greg decided that God would want him to give the hundred dollar bill to the homeless man. The homeless man was so overjoyed that he jumped for joy and earnestly thanked Greg for his over generous gift. The homeless man swore he would repay him someday no matter what it took. Greg smiled as he walked into the building and took the elevator up to his office on the fifth floor.

In his office he finds a note on his desk from the secretary, his boss has requested to see him first thing, Greg wonders why the boss might want to see him as he heads back to take the elevator to the corporate office on the hundredth floor. When Greg arrives his boss asks Greg to sit down and proceeds to tell him that he is getting a promotion to assistant manager. Greg is stunned and thrilled, he spends the rest of the day moving into his new office. At the end of his day Greg takes the elevator back down to the lobby and thinks "this day can't possibly get any better" but it does.

In the elevator is one of Greg's best friends. Greg asks how his friends day was. His friend replies " it was long." Then Greg tells his friend about his promotion. His friend congratulates him. His friend asks Greg if he wants two tickets to an Eagles concert for that night. Not only are they Greg's wife's favorite band but the concert starts an hour after his dinner plans with his wife. Greg asks why he has to get rid of them, his friend tells him that his wife had come down with a bad cold and he couldn't go without her.

Greg arrives at the first floor and thanks his friend for the tickets, and tells him he hopes his wife is feeling better soon. Greg heads out of the building and sees the same homeless man that he had seen earlier this morning. He walks over to the man and sees that the man is curiously paging through an old and tattered Bible. The man notices Greg and quickly stashes the Bible away. Greg asks the man if he understands what he was reading. The man says that it was about a man named Jesus but he doesn't know what it all means. Hearing this Greg decides to invite the homeless man to come to his church on Sunday. The man says he would be willing to go.

Greg hands the man directions and the address to the church. He then walks towards the stairs that lead to the subway and walks down them. He passes through the turnstile as he does everyday on his way to work and boards the trolley. He takes the only unoccupied seat in the car. When the subway makes its first stop an old and frail lady walks in and sees that there are no seats so she hangs onto a railing. Greg gets up and offers the lady his seat and the lady gladly takes it and thanks him. Greg gets off at his stop and walks the rest of the way home and when he's halfway home he realizes that he has left his briefcase on the subway and decides it's too late to get it back tonight so he continues to walk back home.

When he arrives home, he calls the babysitter and waits for his wife to get home. His wife arrives home and they leave the kids with the babysitter and get in the car and drive to the restaurant. While in the car his wife asks him how his day was, he says it was good. Then she gets curious because he keeps smiling so much. He tells his wife that she'll find out soon.

When they arrive at the restaurant and take their seats Greg tells his wife about his promotion. His wife is overjoyed and tells him how proud she is of him. Greg also shows his wife the tickets to the Eagles concert. After their romantic dinner they head to the concert while at the concert his wife is chosen to go up on stage and sing a song with the band. On their way home they talk about how great the concert was, and what a memorable anniversary this is. When they arrive home they see that the babysitter has gotten the kids asleep (on the couch) and he pays her.

The babysitter also runs into the kitchen and bring Greg's briefcase. Greg is surprised and asks where it was. The babysitter tells him that she had found it on the front door step when she was taking out the trash, she shows him a note left on the briefcase. Greg reads it silently to himself. The note reads ( found this on the subway it had your name on it) (p.s. I'll see you at church). Greg laughs and his wife asks him why he's laughing, he tells her about meeting the homeless man. After putting the kids in their beds Greg's wife says she going to get ready for bed and gives him a kiss. Greg stays for awhile reflecting back about his day and he bows his head in prayer. He climbs into bed and thinks to himself what a lucky man he is (this was the best day of his life).

My joke: The world's smartest man?

A pilot, Michael Jordon, Bill Gates, a priest, and a boy were all in a plane together traveling through stormy conditions. Suddenly, the pilot came running back to the passengers and announced that lightning had hit the plane, and they were going to crash in a matter of minutes. "There are only enough parachutes for four of the five of us," he says. "Since I'm the pilot, I get one!" After saying this, the pilot grabbed a parachute and jumped out of the plane. Michael Jordon says "I'm the world's greatest athlete." "This world needs great athletes, so I must live." Michael Jordon then grabbed a parachute and leaped out of the plane. Bill Gates says "I'm the smartest man in the world,". "The world needs smart men, so I must also live!" Bill Gates grabbed a parachute and jumped out of the plane. At this point, the priest began to speak. "I have lived a long life compared to you, and you may take the last parachute". "I will go down with the plane.""You don't have to stay here!" says the boy "The world's smartest man jumped out of the plane with my backpack." :-) ha ha!

Stupid but funny

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal and a bottle of wine, they were exhausted and went to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see." Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars." "What does that tell you?" Holmes said Watson pondered for a minute. "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Timewise, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that The Lord is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have, a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?" Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke. "Watson, you idiot, Some ruddy bastard has stolen our tent!"

Library of Dust: Story of Jonas Sharp


Jonas Sharp was your average healthy 32 year old male. He had a good job, friends, and family. Jonas was adventurous, and loved the thrill of a challenge. One day his whole life changed forever. One of his friends Rob Thomas mentioned an article about sea cave exploring and thought it would be cool to try it out. The next day Jonas and Rob headed off for the coast. Being inexperienced they took lessons and were told about the of sea caves in the area. The instructor had warned all the divers that they would all be going in the same cave one group of two at a time. Jonas being adventurous wanted to go into the deepest cave and convinced his friend that it would be fine to leave the assigned cave and go into the darker, deeper abyss. Halfway down his friend decided they shouldn't go any further but Jonas could not turn away he wanted to go deeper. They finally reached the end of the cave and started heading for the surface when all of a sudden the cave collapsed on his friend. Jonas tried with all his might to free his friend but it was useless. Jonas was running out of air quickly and his friend motioned him to leave him. But Jonas refused and then started to black out. The last thing he saw was the look of terror on his friends face as he became lifeless and sucumbed to drowning. When the rest of the group finally found Jonas he had been without air for six minutes. It was well known that being without air for that amount of time would cause serious brain damage. Jonas was in a coma and hospitalized for 3 weeks, when he awakened he could not speak and had lost most of his memory except for the moment of terror when the cave had collapsed on his friend. The doctors finally came to the conclusion that they could do no more for him and committed him to an asylum because he was considered insane and no one could care for him. Jonas was in the asylum for 15 years. Every night he would relive that experience, that moment and he'd yell and scream in agony for his friend. Jonas finally went mad and strangled himself to death. The canister above which holds Jonas's ashes for eternity, lives out the scene of terror that became his doom. The swirl of the sea and the dark hollows of the cave are shown and an image of a beautiful red fish that we hope is the spirit of Jonas, finally set free from his nightmare . Go to http://www.davidmaisel.com/works/picture.asp?cat=lod&tl=library%20of%20dust to see this canister and many others and more of David Maisel's photos.

To all the brilliant senators of the Texas House

Dear Mr. Or Mrs., Miss. Senator,

I would just like to say how amazing the technique you guys use for voting for our laws. It truly is inspiring. Especially having to vote for your fellow senators. Truly an amazing talent. From having to rush from button to button before another senator gets to it first. The having to reach over the desk and behind you to press more buttons. The truly amazing thing about all this is you do it all without lunch breaks, bathroom breaks, and water breaks. Wow what type of an excuse is that! Honestly your voting for laws here! Do you think about how messed up that is. But I guess its those impressive black suits your wearing that gets you into the position. After looking at a video that shows what really goes on in those voting rooms it makes me just want say WHAT THE $%@#!!! Maybe the next time you vote you'll think wow I guess that kid was right but that's highly doubtful. I mean after all it's truly a hard job and I respect that. NOT!!! What a great example for the future leaders of this country. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG6X-xtVask This is what I was talkin about! Thank you and have a nice day.


A very disappointed and astonished by this stupidity future leader of America,
Derek

Animals and humans. Are we alike? Are we different?

One thing that seperates us from animals is that we're technically not animals. Sometimes we treat eachother like animals. We are protective of our territory and we either want to become the leader or we follow what everyone else is doing. As humans we solve our conflicts we words but other times just like animals we solve our conflicts by violence. As humans we are in ceartian areas smater than animals. Animals rely on their instincts to think whereas we use our knowledge to decide. But animals and humans help eachother out suchas seeing eye dogs for blind people and vets to heal sick animals.

The Death of Waldo

Its not blood its ink

Robbie opened the "Where's Waldo?" book. He searched for hours but never found Waldo. Robbie became frustrated and slammed the book shut. Robbie heard a scream and the crunching of paper. When Robbie opened the book he saw Waldo lying on the page, red ink flowing from his body. Robbie never read a book again.
