I am quite happy with my status cloud. I like how it mentioned "pepper" because that's what I call a Dr. Pepper, and of course it makes being there, as its my favourite drink and I used to talk a lot about it. I also like "attic" and "party", as I used to mention having a party in my attic, which was a humorous fad that happened in 2010. Most other words were conversaton words like "gonna" and "yeah". These words tell the world my interests and things I used to do, but mostly things from a year or less ago (words from June 2010 to present.) Either way, I'm glad that most words in the cloud aren't negative.

My Avatar:

I tried to make this avatar like me, but some options weren't available, like hair style or the type of hat I'd wear when it cold outside (like today.) But this avatar is like me, at least today. I am currently wearing a light blue long-sleeve shirt and jeans. I also wore a toque to school, but not one with two stupid thing dangling from it or one with a stupid button thing on the top. I also wore white runners, as I always do. The nighttime background represents that I'm usually outside when it's dark out, so it was fitting. And I would've chosen a moderate expression for my avatar, but that one was unavailable to non-users, and the other one looked tired and angry, so I chose a simple smile, which doesn't really represent me, but it was the closest.

Metallica VS. Napster Questions:

1. A demo for Metallica's new song had already been aired on radio.The cause was Napster, and they had broke laws like copyright infringement and unlawful use of digital audio devices. 2. A settlement was made between them, and users of Napster were blocked. 3. I think this is a fair way to deal with this situation, as Napster was but to a complete stop and was also benefited from. 4.This incident has changed how the music industry is, and how others give and receive music. Although Napster had gotten shut down, they made the idea of downloading music freely an available choice. People more often get free music from their computer than purchase it from a store or even iTunes, although it is a similar way to get music online, only buying it. Although it is probably stealing and quite wrong, millions of people find downloading free music as their way of getting music. Sites and programs that benefit from this include bitTorrent, isoHunt, FrostWire and many others. So, Napster has changed the music industry greatly. It failed, but downloading free music has been made the biggest choice in getting music. It's easy, and it's very difficult to get caught, so why wouldn't people?

Water Preservation Q's (on Edublog): []

Water Rant Thing:

Water is used many purposes, like hydro power and household needs like dishes and sewage. But easy to say that our main us for water is to drink it. Its the simplest thing to drink, and we can get it from a tap or in bottles. But why is there such a debate whether tap or bottled water is better? Water is just water right? Well some people think that tap water is unhealthy, contains germs and whatnot. However, many tests have shown that tap water is just as healthy as bottled water. People also say that bottled water has a better taste than tap water, and once again many tests show that people chose tap water over bottled water in a blind test. I personally find bottled water like Aquafina and Dasani disgusting to drink, and it tastes like chlorine. But bottled water has things to promote itself, like good-looking labels and advertisements. I guarantee you almost none of the water you find in bottles is from the mountains or a stream by a mountain. Lots of bottled water is actually just tap water anyways, ironically enough. I think that tap water is a much better thing to drink than bottled water. Tap water is free, clean, found everywhere like in drinking fountains, and doesn't use bottles, which aren't usually recycled anyways. Why would you pay for such a simple necessity than can be found everywhere?

Sustainability in our Community:
 * 1) ====== A project called “Cool Kids Inc” was made to showcase people doing conservation-related jobs, promoting sustainability. ======
 * 2) ====== The smoke stack is not running anymore, so acid rain from the smoke can’t pollute the vegetation. ======
 * 3) ====== Some people, like me, have a garden in our backyard, so we have our own resource for some food. ======
 * 4) ====== We have a recycling centre for all our recyclables, so we can reuse materials. ======
 * 5) ====== Adding limestone to the land so acid rain isn’t a problem to vegetation, and it can grow much better. ======
