Earth Day Blog

Earth Day is the day that we are all supposed to recycle reuse and reduce. I think that we should watch less TV, don't use elevators as much, we should turn off the lights and the Ac, but we should also take shorter showers, and don't use too much hair spray. We should also stop using too many electrical devices. We should also carpool as many people in one car as possible. We should alsotry to conserve electricity and use less elctricity. This way, we can not use so much electricity, and save the earth. I think that we should also not use as many plastic bags, and use paper bags, because then the paper, can always be recycled, while the plastic will take a long time, to recycle.

LA 8

How would you change if you had a lot of money?
I would be very happy and would take  more risks than usual. This is because  I know that I can back up my risks financially and I would not have to worry if the risk fails. I don't care about morales because I have no morales. So this question my answer would be yes  I would change a lot.
Would your personality be different?
Yes I would not care about others and I would only think about my self. I would hire people to kill anyone who pisses me off.  I would also pay people to do my homework for me.
Would you ever take a risk to reach your goal.
Yes I would not care because I could always just pay myself out of trouble.
Would you ever  hurt members of your family just so you can be excepted by friends.
No I never did it but I would surely do it because friendship is more important.

Manchester United get lucky twice.

Manchester United aren't winning. Liverpool are, as it stands, top of the league. A goal is required. Sir Alex Ferguson has turned to an utterly untried striker. And he has delivered: once with his last touch, once with his first. Both have transformed one point into three. Both have thwarted Rafael Benitez and Liverpool as much as the side who have had to retrieve the ball from their net. Federico "Kiko" Macheda has done it again. Once was remarkable enough. Twice verges on the incredible.

Manchester United can thank the seventeen-year-old for their status as leaders of the title race.

Villa could count themselves unfortunate to be defeated by a glorious goal. Sunderland were still unluckier, beaten by a strike that contained an element of fortune. Some 46 seconds after his introduction, Macheda positioned himself in the penalty area when Michael Carrick took aim. The ball ended up, via Macheda, in the Sunderland net. The deflection may have contained more luck than judgment, but the result was the sameWhat he knows about it is immaterial," said an admirably phlegmatic Ricky Sbragia. "Everything he touches seems to turn to gold." He was almost right: everything he touches seems to turn to goals."He has got something special about him, the boy," said Ferguson. "He is quick thinking. Goalscorers have that. He's got the instinct. He isn't fazed by anything, I have had a chat with his family this week and he will be ok. He will keep his feet on the ground."That might not be easy. Players can go through an entire career without enjoying a week like Macheda's. Whereas Carlos Tevez had chugged around energetically and Dimitar Berbatov strolled around languidly without either suggesting they would score, Macheda managed it in a matter of seconds. It is now four points that can be attributed solely to the substitute. It is the difference between first and third place. It is scarcely credible.

When Cristiano Ronaldo had been left among the replacements, it appeared he was Ferguson's insurance policy. Events proved Macheda was. If his manager is grateful to the 17-year-old Italian, his team-mates ought to be. For the second successive match, their failings have been obscured by his finishing.Defensively, once again, United were fragile. There were reasons to rest, or omit, the out-of-form Patrice Evra. Nevertheless, Wednesday's Champions League tie at Porto appeared to have been prioritised with the left-back, alongside Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs and Edwin van der Sar on the bench. It meant Ben Foster was given his first Premier League start of the season and the goalkeeper appeared fallible when failing to claim Teemu Tainio's cross, allowing Kenwyne Jones to equalise at the second attempt. Later after coming of the bench, he scores the winner after Michael Carrick shot the ball and he kicked it at the other side.

Taiwan Culture

This is my reflection on the bizzarre food video in Taiwan Culture class.  The bizarre food video was hosted by an American man who had never tasted taiwanese food before. The first stop he makes is at the night market to taste the stinky tofu. At first he is hesitant as the food smells 'stinky'. However after he eats it he realizes that it is actually very tasty and he says that he thinks every tofu tastes good. However later he goes to a shop called tofu delights which specializes in cooking dishes that are made from stinky tofu. He orders the two favorites, tofu with one thousand year old eggs and the tofu burger. He first tries the burger, and he realizes that as soon as he takes a bite,  the smell fills his entire nose and mouth. However still feeling adventurous, he eats the one thousand year old eggs. After that he almost pukes in the shop as he thought that the egg and the spinach would blend the taste of the tofu. On the contrary, the eggs and spinach enhanced the taste and made it feel even worse then it actually was. His final stop in his food journey was at a shop that made every thing out of tea leaves. He ate rice and many other dishes that were made out of tea. In the end, he drank a cup of soup to top it off.
