movie mistakes

I think its pretty funny what some people figure out. How people sit and watch movies so many times that they see these things i couldn't understand. But never the less the web site is cool knowing that movies you saw have those mistakes. So now next time i watch those movies i will be looking for those things.

A Girl’s Nude Photo, and Altered Lives

I think that it is unfortunate with what happened to this girl. From a simple picture her life got out of control. The amount of kids that saw that picture would be hard. But i do think that the fact that this is middle school is crazy. The kids are so young and everything. Sexting in 8th grade is crazy. Also i didnt know middle schoolers could be arrested. I would think they would get susupended or something, but not arrested.

cool stuff about vid

I liked the fact the the mechanical workers had to do palates. The camera shots they used were not shocking ones but of ones of the workers doing work, then doing palates. They used car mats as their working put mats and it was an interesting story.

goose

The story we had to watch was about a man and this goose who loves him. One day wile he was walking through the park this goose started fallowing him. Now she waits for everyday to come to the park. She walks around with him and tries to fallow him home. They are "in love"....The second video had different news stories all put into one. The first one was about bass fishing, the second one was about bike riding, the third one was about a new home being built for a couple who last theirs in a tornado and the last story is about the Spartans.

Black Jack A-roll and B-roll

Topic: Blackjack

Angle: Teens playing blackjack

B-Roll SHOT OF MICHAEL  TALKING YOUNG TEENS WALKING INTO CASINO SHOT OF ADULT TALKING ALLEN STANDUP SHOTS OF CHIPS AND BLACKJACK TABLES SHOT OF ME TALKING

A-Roll “I have been playing black jack since I was 18 and have loved it every time.” -Going to the casino on an 18th birthday has been a tradition for young adults for many years. “I usually go to the casino 2 or 3 times a month. I think it’s a lot of fun and I usually win with black jack. All teens should go when they are 18 because it is great fun and you can win a lot of money.” -One of the most popular games is blackjack. It brings people from all around and it can make or break a fun night with your friends. Although the casino is gambling blackjack is one of the only games of skill. “I believe that black jack is more skill based because if you know what you are doing your odds will become better than the house. If you play your hands right and are smart with your money you can almost always come out on top.” -So when you turn 18 make sure you study up on your blackjack skills and have a fun night out with friends. Reporting for the flash...this is Lucas

15 Stunningly Dumb Warning Labels

I read an article about the most dumb warning labels there are. these consisted of a warning to not put people in a dryer at high speeds, or shake hands with the chain end of a chainsaw. Even a can of peanuts that says "warning this product may contain nuts". I laugh at labels like this. Some companies will go to such lengths to protect their product that it just becomes to much. They put on all these ridiculous labels and it just gets annoying for the consumers.

Interview answers

Michael:
1. My strats wile playing black jack are following a broad range of different ones that tell me what to do according to what the dealer does.
2. The tables i like to play are the $5 dollar ones. Sometimes when i have more money to play with i will play the 10 or 15 dollar ones, and if i win a lot of money, just for fun i will go and play the $100 dollar high stake tables.
3. I believe that black jack is more skill based because if you know what you are doing your odds will become better than the house. If you play your hands right and be smart with your money you can almost always come out on top.

Person two...(max)
1. I have herd many rumors about casinos and counting cards. From what i have herd if you get cought then you will be beat up by the casinos bosses. I dont actually believe these rumors...at least not in minnesota they wont do that. They might is las though.
2. If i knew how to count cards i would do it all the time. I have herd it is easier than you would think. Even though you have to be able to think very fast when you do it, all you have to be able to do is add one and one together.
3. I usually go to the casino 2 or 3 times a month. I think its a lot of fun and i usually winn with black jack. All teens should go when they are 18 because it is great fun and you can win alot of money.

Person 3... (friends father)
1. I have been playing black jack since i was 18 and have loved it everytime. I win most of the time and go and get a pretty good flow of cash with it. Although lots of fun i dont think it is as addictive as people say.
2.

Active or passive quiz

When i took this quiz i got 100%. I learned that to have an active action it need to be the person who is talking, talk about him doing it. For it to be passive the person talking about it has to be talking about someone else doing the action. I didn't really know what the difference was coming into the quiz, but now that I took it I know the difference.

Happiest in Hawaii: Aloha State Tops Well-Being List

I read about the happiest states in the US. Although sun and waves put Hawaii in the top ten, it doesn't for sure beat out snow and the northern light because Alaska was also in the top ten. The southern part of the US actually had the lowest 10 happiest states.
1.     Hawaii: 71.0
2.     Wyoming: 69.2
3.     North Dakota: 68.4
4.     Alaska: 68.3
5.     Colorado: 68.0
6.     Minnesota: 68.0
7.     South Dakota: 68.0
8.     Utah: 67.9
9.     Connecticut: 67.9
10.  Nebraska: 67.8
11.  Massachusetts: 67.8
The bottom 10 states
1.  West Virginia: 61.7
2.  Kentucky: 61.9
3.  Mississippi: 63.0
4.  Arkansas: 63.7
5.  Alabama: 63.7
6.  Ohio: 63.8
7.  Delaware: 64.2
8.  Nevada: 64.2
9.  Louisiana: 64.3
10.  Michigan: 64.6

I think that this is pretty cool Minnesota is number 6 on the list. I can for sure see why Hawaii is number one but Alaska also being up there is nice. It just goes to show that people can be happy no matter where they live...except (Michigan)

Alien life claim ignites scientific debate

I read about these NASA researchers that claim to have found evidence of alien life. This is suppose to spark many heated debates and fight over whether its true or not within the next few days and weeks. The NASA scientist says he found bacteria like the ones on earth that "hitched a ride on a meteor"....I think that if this turns out to actually be alien life then it wold be pretty cool. Hopefully if we find more of them then they will be friendly and not try to kill us like in all the movies there are.

People and questions im going to ask.

2. Ask your self "what do i want to know".
3. Ask "green light questions" or conversation questions.
4. Really listen to the person you are interviewing.
5. Wait throught he silence to get a really good quote.

America's Third War: Texas Farmers Under Attack at the Border

I read about US farmers who are having troubles with illegal drug cartels coming from Mexico. A large amount of farmers land backs onto the boarder of Mexico and the US. Because of this the drug cartels try to sneak through those spots and they are very dangerous people. As a result the farmers are trying to defend their land and it gets into a nasty fight. I think that the government should really crack down onto the boarder. Once the illegals are threatening our people, that is a sign that this is a real problem.

Ruby

She was, at only 6 years old, the first girl to integrate the New Orleans school system.  She attended William Frantz Elementary School. ruby was the only girl in class almost the whole year because the other parents wanted their kids out of the school.  They hired Barbra Henry, from Boston, Massachusetts, to teach Bridges, and for over a year Mrs. Henry taught her alone.

Burnsville man indicted for January shooting death

A 46-year-old Burnsville man has been indicted on several charges stemming from a weekend shooting at a football game party in January. He was indicted feb 25 with chargers of second degree murder in connection with the Jan. 23 shooting death of James Edward Koenig. Thomas is currently in Dakota County Jail facing $500,000 bail without conditions or $400,000 bail with conditions. I think that if this is the right guy then it is a good thing he is in jail. We need to get these kinds of people out of our state. Although if it turns out he as innocent then they did a poor job with the case and that wouldn't be good for him.
