The Cell phone was fun to design even if the design had to be really boring. cool project Ms. M:)
The Deep Brain Surgery was boring as was the crash scene. :(
The odd machine was okay. little kid trivia.
The weather was better than the last three but not as good as the cell phone design. The weather was fun to predict. My daddy and I sometime see you can guess the weather the best and he normally wins b/c he actually does some research and I just smell the air :)

Google earth is one of the most helpful sites on the internet and is really fun.

I love this site when I am searching for directions to give someone to come to my house because it is so easy and fun. I will definitely recommend this site to anyone but a stalker.

this site is a lot like webkinz but with less variety because it has been out for a lot shorter amount of time. All of the things are the same except for the inter-workings of it. The navigation is a little more confusing and activities less stimulating but all in all a cool game. and there are no limits on the subscription that I have found. you just have to get one beanie.

It was 15 years ago that Microsoft had one of its most successful launches ever--introducing Windows 95. The company managed to get people to line up for hours to be among the first to get their hands on a copy.
The company paid to treat people to free newspapers in London, lighted the Empire State Building in Windows' colors, and draped Toronto's CN Tower with a 300-foot banner--all part of a massive $300 million ad campaign that accompanied the product's arrival.
Windows 95, which was separate from the company's business-oriented Windows NT product, added a number of features over its predecessors including better network support, the ability to send faxes (yes, there was a time when that was a big deal) along with basic audio recording, audio playback, and video playback tools. Features now thought of as core parts of Windows, such as the start menu and taskbar, also made their debut with Windows 95. Plus, it just looked a whole lot better graphically and was far more stable than past consumer versions of Windows.
Internet Explorer debuted around the same time, but was sold separately as part of Microsoft's Plus Pack for Windows 95. It was eventually bundled in directly with the operating system in an update to Windows 95 released the following year.
By the time Windows 95 was finally ushered off the market in 2001, it had become a fixture on computer desktops around the world.
"If you look at Windows 95, it was a quantum leap in difference in technological capability and stability," Gartner analyst Neil MacDonald said at that time.
A decade and a half after Windows 95 hit the market, though, one question looms large for Windows? Are all its best days in the past?
Clearly it was a different time and Microsoft might be hard pressed to capture that kind of consumer attention no matter what it did. But, never mind the long lines, will Microsoft be able to continue to sell Windows at the price and volume it has?
It's one of the most important questions facing Microsoft as a company. While the company has expanded far beyond its Windows roots, Windows and Office remain the engine driving the vast majority of the company's profits even as it looks to cell phones, search, and online services to augment its mainstay businesses.
At the moment, the Windows business is doing quite well, with Windows 7 selling at an impressive clip. Indeed Windows 7 is selling far faster than Windows 95 did in its early days, though that's as much a testament to how large the PC market is as anything else.
The longer-term question is whether Windows can outpace what I call the generic Web experience. In the coming years, smartbooks, tablets, cell phones, Netbooks and shapes we probably haven't thought of will all be capable of delivering the Web, which is for many people their main use of a PC.
For Windows to be as relevant on Windows 95's 20th anniversary as it is today, the company will have had to manage to evolve the operating system significantly.
I see a few ways this can happen, but none is a sure thing.
First, Microsoft (or a third-party software maker) can develop a new killer app that only runs on Windows. It's been a long time since this happened, but certainly it's not impossible. New user interfaces can also be added. Touch is already there, as is voice control to some degree, but gesture recognition such as that found in Kinect could pave the way for new uses.
Second, it could evolve Windows and Windows Live to offer a dramatically better way of doing the same tasks that most people do on the Web. Sure, we can manage our photos and music on the Web today and that is getting easier. However, tapping local storage and graphics, Microsoft has the potential to offer a better way and, with the latest version of Windows Live, is trying to do so.
Third, Microsoft could enhance the value of Windows by having a browser that is demonstrably superior to non-Windows rivals. This appears to be a tall order, given that Internet Explorer, while still leading in market share, has been well behind rivals when it comes to being seen as the technical leader.
For the record, this challenge is not just the one facing Microsoft. It's also the one facing Apple's Mac business. And while Microsoft must justify the $100 or so premium that it charges for Windows, Apple commands an even higher premium when comparing the Mac to one of these "generic Web" devices.
But Apple also has another entrant in the game--a viable alternative Web experience delivered in the form of the iPad. Microsoft, at least so far, appears to have only Windows, in its various flavors.

Walker meth lab explodes; Two local women arrested

Meth Labs Found After Explosion And House Fire
Just before midnight on Sunday August 1, 2010, Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Deputies and firefighters from Livingston Parish Fire Protection District Four responded to the report of an explosion and subsequent house fire at the address of 35606 Weiss Road, Walker, La. Upon their arrival, Deputies learned that some sort of argument, involving at least five people, occurred at the residence immediately after the explosion was heard. Deputies were able to detain two of these people while the other three fled the scene.
When fire fighters were finally able to extinguish the fire, authorities discovered several burned Coleman camp fuel cans, in the area of the home where the fire seemed to have originated. They also discovered a plastic bottle with tubing coming out of it, which is commonly used to construct a homemade HCL generator. Further search of the area revealed no less than 3 “one pot method shake and bake” meth labs.
Lisa Barnhizer McLin, a 38 year old white female who listed her address as 35606 Weiss Road Walker, La., was charged as follows:
>2 Counts Operation/Creation of a Clandestine Meth Lab
>2 Counts Manufacture of Schedule II CDS (Methamphetamine)
She is currently in the Livingston Parish Detention Center on a $400,000.00 bond.
Mercede Marie Bucher, a 21 year old white female who listed her address as 35606 Weiss Road Walker, La., was charged as follows:
>2 Counts Operation/Creation of a Clandestine Meth Lab
>2 Counts Manufacture of Schedule II CDS (Methanphetamine)
She is currently in the Livingston Parish Detention Center on a $400,000.00 bond.
Narcotics Deputies, assisted by the Louisiana State Fire Marshall’s Office, continue to investigate this case, and more arrests are forthcoming. Fortunately, no injures were reported in connection with the incident.

Veggie Tales were always a part of my life growing up. From Larry the Cucumber to Laura the carrot to Alfred the asparagus, they have always been a great entertainment for my family. If you have never watched an episode of the veggie Tales you are sorely lacking. They are a group of Christian Veggies that use tweaked Bible stories to answer letters asking them what to do in general situations. Larry and Bob the tomato host this show from the Kitchen Counter and at the end of every show, Querty, the Computer,give a verse and a moral. So, from "King George and Ducky", to "Where's God When I'm Scared", to "Lord of the Beans"(a parody of Lord of the Rings). These Veggies have inspired and taught many a student.

Feature story 1
SALLY THE HORSE
By now, almost the entire school knows Sally, the pencil pouch. She hangs from my book sack and attends all of my classes. She also get abducted, frequently. She then misses class, has to be tutored and sometime even has to go to counseling. It is all very traumatic for her. As I was walking down the school hallway last year, I past the 5th (or 4th) graders and they all laughed and pointed and yelled "look at the wiener pony!" Sally is a horse, not a wiener pony.
Yesterday, during PE, I left my book sack with Sally attached in the restroom because, obviously, she hates running and therefore-PE. While I was away, working for my A in PE, a mischievous, evil fiend sneaked into the restroom and kidnapped my Sally. I have yet to relocated her,so hold on to your eye balls until i get her back. If you happen to see Sally see really needs to get back to me so she doesn't miss anymore class. She has a quiz coming up in English and she got to the last one in the nick of time so she didn't have much time at all to study. Keep your eyes peeled and your ear alert for Sally, you never know when she will show up.

Blog Assignment #5
Jarrett's pages look a little barren and unloved. I like the theme a lot oven though I really don't follow football I still have to say Geaux Saints! Who Dat?! The page only has one picture so i am guessing he missed a day and just hasn't caught up yet.
I like Ethan's template choice although has no words of his own and few pictures. I am not a fan of sea animals but I must say he has a nice spread of them. I am not sure how you want me to give you five sentences on each page so I will just ramble. as usual. I really do like the pink and yellow boxes on the black background.
Alexis' page is bland. I don't like the peach color of the background. I don't think it matches the yellow sunflower but it also doesn't crash horridly. She could have made a green background and gone better or an orange and gone worse. There is no words and so I was not entertained.
I love Wesley's Date's dress!!!! :) It is gorgeous. The pictures don't fit so that bothers me. I want to try and play halo although I will probably stick became the only thing I have ever played on x box is car games and I was bad at those, too. oh well.
Wow, Hannah. Preston is not the king of the world :) This page also has a nice back ground but I don't like how the pictures are too small for the spaces. I really despise those triangles :( any Way, the dogs are cute but I like big scary one that can bite your arm off better. German Shepherds are the way to go.
I really like Danielle's page. most of the pictures fit and since most do(and she has a lot) I will forgive the offending ones. I love the tips on how to have fun at the beach and not get eaten by a spark. The clothes in the pics are also adorable and lovely, all at the same time.
I really love Larry's page. The collage of pictures is exquisite and unique from all of the others. I don't like the orange lettering. i quit reading after about two lines b/c I got a head ache :( still my fave though:) Yay, I'm done

He could be just the average, normal, every day kid that lives across the street. The kid across the street didn't earn $230,000 in a half hour. the kid across the street's parent's probably don't earn that in a year. This kid, Kieron Williams, is an artist. A good artist. At the age of eight. He paints with the difficult medium of oil paint, but he also uses charcoal and watercolor, neither a walk in the park. He started 2 years ago when he requested, from his parents, for pencil and paper for a holiday and he gave them back a complete ship in a harbor. His advice to wanna-be artists is this, "Never give up. Try and keep your buildings straight. And don't do a plain blue sky." What a kid.

Blog Assignment #1
I was born in the great place of Woman's Hospital to two amazing parents. I was born on one warm, September night, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I have three siblings who I adore (most of the time) and cherish (except when i wish they would disappear). Occasionally my birthday will fall on Labor day and that mean no school! :) I like those years.
When I was a wee tot... I caused my poor parents loads of trouble. My older sister was the good one who was, normally, happy and sleeping. Not me. I was the kid that was always hyper and talking at the pace of a billion words per minutes and playing with her toes. Seriously, in the car, when I was fusing, my mom would reach back and take off my shoe and that would buy her five minutes. Then, she would take off the sock for another five minute. Then the other shoe ans so on...
As I grew older and mom started to home school me with my sister, I grew terrified for the school room. My grandfather, who's house we did school in, killed and took to a taxidermist and ferocious havelina. This thing was the beast of the room, surrounded by similarly, but not quite as horrendous, creepy bambis. Five of them. And three huge fish. It was a creepy room. Mom made my sister and I work in this room on our school work, alone. My sister did not help my fear with her "they're going to eat us!" act :( It was bad, and terrifing, and scarring, and the kinda thing people need years of counseling to fix.
On a better note, as I grew older and braver, I started to hang out with my older cousin more. BIG MISTAKE. The, supposedly, wiser, more responsible cousin of mine took me four wheeler riding with her and my sister, the same sister as the school room fright. My cousin was the best cousin ever and put me on the front rack on the four wheeler. I, wearing regular summer clothing, readily obeyed because every little girls wishes to be just like her older relatives. She drove me through a brier patch. No, that's not right, she drove me through three brier patches. I was so cut up, and my mother didn't even notice-probably just thought i was my usual clumsy self and fell into a pile of sticks or something. sigh.
