Tunisia Prine MInister Resigns

Now for a while the United States have been following the stories of uprising in the Middle East. The prime minister Mohammed Ghannouchi stepped down on Sunday at the Casbah Square. He stepped dodwn due to the fact that he was unable to fullfil his needs in that position. Also he supported the president that they overthrew. The president was accused of oppression and corruption of the government. While presenting his speech on national television one could hear the cheers and praise of the citizens.

File:Mohamed Ghannouchi.jpgDuring the speech little police were there. The army had little groups of people in front of government buildings but they did not do too much action towards the citizens. However, the citizens did not stop antagonizing them. On the other side there was more uncivilized action. Many citizens begging for fights.

Many people still believe that protests will still continue. People want democracy and they will not stop to get it. They want all ministers from the presidents cabinet to resign and they will make it happen by any means. The governement has 60 days to have a reelection. The date is to be held on July 15. The government will have alot of work to do to get everything on track, to make up for the loss of the prime minister.

Trip to Ruby Tuesday!

So this weekend I went to Ruby Tuesday with my friend. This is my favorite restaurant little did she know. The food in there is jsut so delicious. I went to the one at Gallery Place. It was definitely crowded however the service was moving swiftly. While waiting for our seats the host had no problems keeping us entertained.

Now lets talk about the struggle I had to go through to get their. First, I had a family event to go to that took longer than expected. Then I came home to change my clothes but my mother left out and I needed some money becuase I do not like to be broke. After that the train runs slow on Saturday it was a 15 minute wait and then the train kept stopping because it was a delay.

I had alot of fun on the outing. I got to know my friend on a better level. We talked about many things. The food was so good. I ordered shrimp alfredo and my strawberry lemonade. The people at the retaurant were crazy but it was funny. After we ate we headed home because I had to go see my family.

The Internet

The internet is growing everyday. The process of this system is very remarkable. The steps it is just for one click is rigorous but many people do not pay attention to that. The internet keeps the world connected. For example Facebook shares commonality between people in the United States to China for example. The internet changes everyday. I feel like soon something will out do the internet as a whole. It is connected to many servers. The process is truly remarkable about sorting information and being able to pull up the corect information for the correct website.

Betty Crocker Mhmm Delicious!

Just thinking of Betty Crocker makes my mouth water. I am the one people come to for cakes. That is my specialty. Betty Crocker has had a big impact on that. First off the company supplies me with my ingredients and recipes. Secondly the way they reach out is good. They are good for charity events though it is not mentioned.

I always wanted to be a pastry chef since my high school career. The way I feel when mixing up the ingredients really helps with my stress level. I also like the peoples feedback. Most of it is pleasing but I can take some criticism for the next time. I usually make my fmailies birthday cakes. It saves us money and it gives me practice to try new things.

Being a pastry chef is not somethign that one hears everday. Many people want to be a lawyer and apart of me wants to be but my passion is with baking. I want to merge them together. Become a lawyer and have a bakery. Hopefully I can own my own company and sell some of my products in the cafeteria. I just love the thoughgt of baking and the msils of people faces. One will never see a sad face when you think of Bria's cakes.

Netflix!

Want to go to the movies? Umm no thank you, I have Netflix. What is that? One of the most successful DVD rentals online in the United States. It was formed in 1997 by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph in California. In 1999 the company had to go back to the drawing board due to lack of sales. Since 2003 it has had 1 million movies from all categories of entertainment.

How does one get these DVDs? Well first you have to go onthe website and create an account. After creating an account they give you a month of free trial but after that you pay $19.95/m. Once you get an account you make pick as many movies you like however, you will only recieve upto 3 DVDs per session that are available from your desired list. You cannot get another set of DVDS until they are returned back to the company. The best part about that is that there is no late fee.
Netflix is going to progress within this decade alone. However, it still has many competitors and they are trying their hardest to make Netflix go into bankruptcy. But one thing Netflix has over them is the no late fee. It is impossible for Block Buster not to have one due to the fact that their stock is way lower than Netflix. This company is available online and with the new technology you cna get the ineternet from anywhere.

New Zodiac Sign 2011!

Now everyone know that the world goes through changes 24/7. But, who would ever thought that it would be a new zodiac sign. The new sign is Ophiuchus. This sign covers November 29- December 17. This became effective this year. The reason for this new sign is because of the alighnment of the stars were pushed by a month. Approximately 31% of Americans live their life by thier birth zodiac sign. This new sign is going to bring out many issues.

Many people are already claiming that they are not changing their sign. Not realizing that this does not go itno affect unless you were born in 2011. The next generation is already different and they are not even deeply established. Parents refuse to accept this new sign. Amercians are arguing about htis sign and trying many methods to prove this statement wrong.
 
"The constellation Ophiuchus represents a man wrestling a serpent, dividing the snake's body in two parts.  It is the only sign of the zodiac linked to real men, sharing traits with Imhotep, a 27th century BCE Egyptian doctor, and biblical Joseph" said by Time. Ophiuchus is the healer of man and doctor of medicine and science. He seems to be like the ulitmate ale figure people strive to be today. This sign is still new adn ts trait could be changed daily so nothing is set in stone other than the dates in which this sign lies.
 

Our First Senior Trip!

Today we went to a law firm by the name of Hogan Lovells to discuss our future. I had the opportunity to introduce myself to the three lawyers that were assigned to my group. On this field trip they provided us with lunch. For lunch we had pizza, salad, and cookies. We were split up into two groups and put into different rooms. As we were eating we dicsussed the college life and the transition from high school to college.

We were able to ask questions and the first questioned I asked was how to not stress over the pressure of the career your parents pressure you into doing over your desired passion. The lawyers told me to do what will make me happy because it is better to be broke and happy then successful and very depressed in shorter words. Theyalso answered many questions. One question that I like was said by Markus Batchelor he asked whether he should stay in DC for politics because he was scared he was going to lose out on the know of DC life. Both lawyers basicallly explained to him that DC will not have a significant change within 4 years and how you leaving can bring into new perspectives of how DC should run. TThey asked us about the college process and our senior year and we explained to them that it is less stressful right now because we had to do many applications in the beginning of the year due to Senior Seminar. Senior is still stressful but i feel that it would be more stressed if we were still doing applications and all of these projects.

I really liked our lunch with the lawyers. I was a litle skeptical about what was going to happen or how people were going to act. but this proves again that one should not judge a book by its cover and do not come into anything with an already set perception of what the experience would be like.

I Just Love Yorkies!

I had a conversation with my friend the other day about the type ofo pets we want to have when we grow up. My first answer was a yorkie . I think they are so pretty and unique because of their size. The funny part is, is that they are small but they cost alot. They are not really dogs that you can play many sports with. They are house. They do not grow more than about 4 lbs. if they are smaller than that then they a prone to having health issues. They have very fragile body structures so one is not to be too rough with it. It is basically a dog that is for show.

Let me give a little history about this beautiful dog. The dog "yorkie" is mainly a high spirited proud yorkie. However, these dogs are just the opposite. They are more so a premature yorkie. They do not have the proper size for a mouth so they loose teeth and troubles eating. Some can die due to the issues of regulating their blood sugar. The adult and mature size for a yorkie is 4-7 lbs. The term "teacup" came from owners who did not take care of their dog and their dogs stayed a very small size in result of that.

Though they have many health issues i still want this dog. I feel as if, if you are goign to buy a dog you need to take care of it and I will live up to that expectation and rule set. Many people do not know many of the facts I just stated in the previous paragraph. So the next time, one thinks about buying a yorkie do not ask for a teacup yorkie because you will come in with many issues, instead ask for a regular size yorkie that way it will be more eassier for you and the dog.

The Ipod Nano Evolution

Now I have been interested in Ipods since they came out in 2001. The evolution of this device has been ridiculous. When the U.S. was first introduced to the iPod everyone was so excited to get it. Though it was big, bulky, and had many errors like every new piece of technology presented to the public, but it held the music that we wanted. That was the nmain reason people were so pressed for it. It was also portable which benefited everybody.

 A few years later Apple decided to upgrade the features and the physicla appearance fo the IPod. They created the IPod Touch, one of the most popular devices known in the 21st Century. They have many different Megabites. Range from 5 to 16MG. It can hold pictures and is able to connect to the internet. Also, you can text from your IPod to a cellular device with no problem. But, guess what bloggers? They have another version of the IPod. The IPod Nano Touch.

The Ipod Nano Touch has its own evolution dealing with the IPod Nano alone. It range from an 8GB to an 16GB. You can order your playlist setting in a way that fits you. It also has an built it FM radio. One can download pictures as well. It has almost the same features of any other IPod made but some are not able to go back to the playlist and pick songs due to how small it is. However, it has many features that can benefit a person who loves to be on the "go". I say you guys should check it out might be something you like. But I am just sitting back to see wat Apple comes out with next.
