I read two articles about Wikipedia. One of the articles were pro the other was a con.
For the fist article was a pro. It focused more so on college students and professors at Lake Land. Many professors do not have a problem with Wikipedia because it is a start. However, they state that the students need to do further research. Many colleges still do not allow Wikipedia as a creditable source. Mattoon Lake Land.
The other article opposing Wikipedia continuously pulled out the biases of Wikipedia. It breaks down the different examples of the biases about the website. It even takes it back to the contributors and the way they handle the work on the site. It also towards the end give suggestions on how it should change its contributors and the way the network show now act.
I personally agree with the use of Wikipedia due to the fact that the term "wiki" alone mean quick so that mean that it is a start or a simple summary of the topic that one is interested on. It is the researches job to go deeper and use more than one source to get accurate information.

Response to Managing Social Network
The solution that best fits me with managing my social network is being on the phone. I actually did that during the 7 days of no Facebook. I do it a lot more now then i used to. Also texting helps me forget about social network websites because he people i text are the people I would go look on the statuses to see what they are doing. Removing the cell phone apps would no work. one because I do no know how to do that. But, I also do not want to. It makes my phone unique and just because it is on there does not mean I have to use it, that is where self control comes in. I believe the best solution for others is self control. Many people lack that as was shown in class when asked who went on Facebook. It takes time to gin full self control but it would help people with the addition. I do not believe that i have any addiction to any website. If I have an addiction it is to texting. I do not really get on websites unless its to play a game I probably will net year because all my close friends will be away. It isn't that interesting and it can also get people in a lot of drama. Especially with he/she say that is the downfall of this generation.

NO Facebook!
I do not think that not being able to get on Facebook for a week will be hard. I really do not get on there now. i will be able to go through with it and not panic about it. A lot of our classmates were really upset but it might be a good time for me to catch up with my school work since I am a senior we have limited days left to get our things in order. I can also get more connected with Twitter since that seems to be the hottest new thing. Plus i have a friend stream app on my phone that lets me see what friends are doing on Facebook and Twitter so i will survive.

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.
During 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.
