HDMI Vs. Displayport
I started using HDMI when i got a new monitor earlier this year.  Recently I started looking to build my own PC however I wanted a modern graphics card which meant anywhere from $500 to $1500 to get excellent performance.  Most of my choices had an HDMI, DVI and Displayport.  I didn't know what Displayport was because aren't all the connections called display ports.  I wanted to find out what Displayport was.  As far as I have learned even though HDMI is High Definition Multi-media Interface Displayport has all the features but is less expensive, has longer cables and is faster.  I also don't have a monitor supporting Displayport so I think I will get another one for a triple monitor setup.



What is The best graphics card on the market/what is my favorite gpu distributor
Graphics cards are tricky to choose.  They cost a lot now and its hard to decide which one will be best for a computer I'm building.  However I do have some experience with decisions.  What would I want to be upgradable in the future,  what might I use this for eventually,  and which is the best gpu supplier Nvidia or AMD.  This means that if I wanted to use this for video editing in the future then Nvidia would be my best choice.  I am quite biased toward Nvidia even though I have never actually used one.  Now if I had an unlimited budget then I would go with either the GTX 690 or the GTX Titan because they are both Nvidia and a lot closer than most reviews say.  The 690 is a dual gpu graphics card however the Titan is a single gpu graphics card.  The Titan however is using an updated gpu and has 6gb of GDDR5 ramm, now both of these cards are only $1000. If you are in need of a good graphics card but don't have the budget for the Titan or 690 then the GTX 670 is a very good choice only for that I would suggest the dual fan version. The 670 is only $370 but can still give good fps if you don't use it for rendering and major video editing.

Sorry it is now Sunday and I am  updating this post because I did not actually read up on the latest news before posting this.  I now have found some very intriguing info.  New graphics cards are planned for both later in 2013 and early 2014.  First and of lesser value than a few of these graphics cards is the GTX Titan Ultra.  The GTX Titan Ultra would be barely anything different from the GTX Titan.  The GTX Titan Ultra is just maxing out the number of cuda cores that the gk110 actually uses so it would only be helpful for video editing.  However possibly the best graphics card coming in 2013 is the GTX 790.  The GTX 790 much like the GTX 690 is a dual gpu desine of the gk110.  This would make it possibly almost twice as good as the GTX Titan.  What is also very amazing about this is that the GTX 790 would be priced at only $1000 being the same price as the Titan but much much better will most likely put Nvidia up to the top of gpu creators for the foreseeable future  but if that alone is not enough Nvidia also announced that they will be creating a new line of gpus for the 800 series.  This new series will most likely be released in early 2014 and very little other information has been posted about this.

Have you ever seen a tornado, if not look it up.  Anyways if you saw my room then well lets just say that 12 tornadoes and a hurricane would be afraid.  My floor is made of paper or at least it is now.  There's a chance that my floor is part food!  Next I have my desk.  Well I did clean it but that did nothing.  Half the stuff is from my sister using my desk for who knows what.  In about 46 years i should be done cleaning this place.

Inheritance

“Dear Galbatorix”

Dear Galbatorix,

    I am having some troubles.  Your empire has been annoying me.  If you do not know this already I would like to tell you that on your order thousands of people have been slaughtered.   Your army of over 16,000 humans along with thousands of more urgals have butchered the people of your empire and those who oppose you alike.  

    Among these many dead is my uncle.  My uncle raised me after my mother died when I was really young.  I slew the “beasts” that had murdered my uncle.  I also recently found out that my father was my mentor when I was learning magic.  The “beasts” slew my father as well.

    The groups I am assisting are the varden and the elves.  If you knew all this already I am sorry for repeating this.  Although if you didn’t know that your people were being cut down right under your nose I hope you will be happy to know this now before what has already happened happens.

    Very soon I will lead the varden into battle against your troops.  I hope you will have resolved this issue by then.  If not I will assume that you have ignored me and will end this with you being overthrown and a new society will be created.

- Sincerely Eragon

ps:I’m not telling you when the battle (that is taking place right now) will happen haha.

Morning girl free response

      After reading the book "Morning Girls" I had learned much about the Taino way of life.  The Taino people were who the book was based on.  They lived on the island named San Salvador by Columbus.  The story was focused on two characters Morning Girl and Star Boy.
      Morning Girl got her name for waking up as the very first person of their family.  She was quiet and respectful.  Also she mostly wished to see herself as how others saw her.  
       Star Boy  was named for staying up all night.  He is very childish.  He talks all the time and does not care what others think about him. 
       The book talks about the island many times and weather.  As the book progresses it tells about a storm that separated Star Boy from his family and finally at the very end it speeks of strangers who come to the island.

Lights
Lights bring brightness but in my room that does not help.  For some reason with 4 lamps and a wall light my room is very dark, I even have a window.

Combs
 I believe combs were invented as a torture device to. It would feel as if your head was being split apart.

Nature name ?

I could not come up with a nature name for myself even though we had weeks to do so but, my sister told me about how Erin said I was 'The Pessimist who will never be happy until when the astroid is heading towards earth screaming "Yeah I was right" squish'.

Map Story

    We came onto the dirt road.  There was gravel everywhere. Every crunch sounded as though a tire would pop.  Then the holes, they had been filled with dirt but that did nothing. We hit every hole bouncing the whole way.
   Then we got to our driveway. The redwoods just barely out of the way and the little flock of sheep just standing off to the side. The sheep do not live where they were standing no.  They live currently next to a large old growth stump 50 or so feet from the sheep.  Normally they don't get out.
    We usually get alfalfa and the sheep follow us back to the pen.  Once we parked we got out of the car and got some alfalfa.  Green and dry falling out of our hands as we walked the alfalfa, how could they eat this stuff.  It can be a good thing when the sheep get out.  They eat back weeds and ivy but there so close to the property line that its best to just put them back in the pen.  We walked up past the pen where they are staying, there were more out than this group. They seem to have their own flocks.  I headed up the trail towards where the sheep were originally placed when we moved here while my dad went towards the flock we had seen as we went by.  
     I found the sheep scattered up the hill leading to my grandparents property.  I took them back in groups like when we move them only harder.  My dad came and helped.  We had to search for them occasionally.  Also some had to be picked up and carried over to the pen.  Eventually there was only one sheep left baahing somewhere in the woods.

poetry response to I have seen

Aren't I a Good Thing?
This I have seen poem by sierra told about death and fear. I found it interesting and easily understandable.  I also thought that it had enough description to help find out what the I was in the poem.  I believe this poem was shown from the perspective of fear.  I think it is fear because of how "among the frightened" and "from happiness To fear" seem to mean that fear is speaking and there are many more things that show this. Overall I think that this poem was very good and that it show element of poetry along with excellent imagery.

Never Satisfied

The other poem I read by Gretta starts out by not giving away if it is happy or not.  It does seem to be somewhat happy though.  The poem shows this with phrases like "many people jump" and "deepest dreams come true" also "but sadly it won't last". That makes it lean towards a sad feeling but you can't be sure. The second group however makes the mood sad with "try to find the thing I've lost Just when the search is over I lose it again". In the third group the poem goes to I'd rather be water but then fire as well. The poem overall was very good but I could not find out what "I" was even though it had hints and imagery. I think that this poem was very good.

Both of these poems were interesting. I liked them both.

lymerics

There once was a lamb from ripplesaw,
who always said meh and not bah,
it was all alone,
the meh was a moan
so one day it learned to la.


When these things go all all wrong,
we should be going along,
but where to go,
there but so
we will all be singing a song.


I had gone for a little spider,
but it was one little glider,
then another came,
they were much the same,
together made them one powerful fighter.

rap

Yo my name is better than you,
cause your rap is totally boo.
then there's the fact,
that you totally lacked.
your below me, I'm above all,
and I don't need to rap

I'm blasting the bass,
and the cello in case.
you can try to be me,
but you've lost already
I left you behind,
so make up your mind.

Just quit this,
you'll try but miss.
I won in every way,
there's nothing you can do today.
and as I said,
I don't need to rap,
so I won't.

Lunar paraphrase
       This poem by Robert Stevens starts with alliteration of moon mother pathos pity.  It doesn't rhyme much but it sort of has a rhythm.  This poem is personifying the moon.  The second through tenth line have assonance such as when, the, wearier, end, November.  The final and eleventh line is also the first line,  the moon is the mother of pathos and pity.  This poem also has metaphors.
       I like this poem sort.  I didn't really understand it but that is fine.  Similes weren't in it either.

I have seen

I have seen the world and back,
The destruction and those that lack.
everywhere happy, sad, alone,
anyone everyone I am there,
even if you cannot bear.
The inside peoples minds,
bombs dropped in lines.

I send myself to you,
to find what is true.
You may not remember much,
I still know all, though,
like a wise old crow.
I can see the smoke,
and death from when one small pipe broke.

I'd rather be like those I see,
they can do and flee unlike me.
alone that is what I am,
without friends to fight,
and family so for light.
All I have is nightmares,
you can fight all that leers.

I know the name,
of all the same.
they are all of one mind,
confusion rings,
and color brings.
Sight and sound telling different,
the happy faces and the defining sound was sent.

I say I send myself afar,
but that is not on par.
why can't you see that I am really you?

 r-p-o-p-h-e-s-s-a-g-r

This was random.  Completely random.  If you don't believe me look at the title.  It had plenty of notating too.  I had a square around the entire poem just to show randomness.

I like this because random is always interesting to me.  It was also easy to notate.  The poem is not following anything.

Only three words were spelled correctly.  The words who, to, and grasshopper were those spelled right.  Grasshopper was also spelled incorrectly.  If you unscramble the title I believe it is grasshopper. This poem has pretty much no sense of direction either.  I think it ends how it starts.  It also messes with your head incase you don't see any logic in this response.

Confusion is an oil black puddle of loss.

Loss is a paper white room of emptiness.

Emptiness is a crystal clear sky of sadness.

Sadness is ocean blue lightning of destruction.

Destruction is a sidewalk gray rock with death.

Death is a black hole that destroys the entire universe.

Disillusionment of Ten O'Clock

 Disillusionment of ten o'clock

I found that this poem described almost every little detail.  Almost every word was an adjective.  When I notated this poem There weren't just some little things here little things there, I had the paragraphs in boxes notating this was very easy to notate.  I found almost every line had a notation when I was done.

I like this poem because the description is everywhere.  It also manages to be random.The random part is that it goes from night gowns to dreams.

Full of life,

The wind
sneaks in,
and the sounds,
water,
branches,

The night goes on
cold but warm.
Little light from the moon,
darkness envelopes all.
Then,
suddenly
a ray of light, begins to enter.
 The animals go back, into the dark.
The light is brighter now,
birds sing,
the animals wait,
tonight they'll be out,
again.

Ender's Game Final

         Lying is justifiable if it's for the greater good. 
       I gave this a four when I was doing the anticipation guide for the first time.
Now I would still give it a four because in the book the government doesn't tell Ender that he is fighting real battles.  This means he goes all out and does everything he can to win.  I only gave this a four because there are still a few times where lying isn't justifiable and that is what makes the battles unique they were both justifiable and not.
          Sometimes violence is the only way to solve a problem. 
      I gave this a five.
Now I would still give it a five because it says sometimes.  Bonzo would have only used violence so to solve this  Ender had to fight too.  "It was bozo who hungered his death even though he was silent."  Same with Stilson who would have fought no matter what.
           It is okay to kill someone in self-defense.
        I gave this a four.
I would still give this a four because in the story Bonzo would have come back after Ender if he was still alive.  I only would give this a four because sometimes people will back down instead of continuing.
"If I am to walk away from here I must win quickly and permanently.
          Words are stronger than fists.
        I gave this a three.
I would still say three because some people listen and some people attack.  "Sure we'll let you through first your arm..."
         Bullies hurt others because they have low self esteem. 
       I gave this 4
I stand by that.  In most cases this is true. Bonzo lost he wanted to be better.  Ender had his youngest soldier tell Bonzo what he should have done.  This was a four because sometimes people bully because they can.
         Only the best and brightest students should receive the best education to become a nation's leaders. 
        I gave this one
I still do.  Any one can learn how to be a world leader or a great person just some people need better teaching than others.  Ender started with launchies and almost immediately they were the best army.
       Revenge is never justified.
     I gave this a three.
I still don't realy know if this is true so I say three again.  The book was sort of saying revenge wasn't justifiable but that wasn't a very good sample size.
     Crying is evidence of weakness.
    I gave this a 2
I didn't know really and now I would say three because whenever Ender cried in the book it seemed as thought the author was trying to make Ender seem weak.
     Any action is acceptable in war. 
I said 3
Now I say 2 because almost any action is just not very acceptable and usually that side loses.  Bonzo's army was on the wall cheating because the teachers aloud them and they still lost.
       Teenagers need discipline and rules because they can't control themselves.
     I said 2.
I say one now.  Teenagers need independence allowing them to learn how life would be when they move out.  Peter and Valentine are both showing this as Demosthenes and Locke.
         Only through personal sacrifice can someone create positive change. 
    I said 5
Positive change  or any change is impossible without sacrifice.  I gave it a five now because it was reenforced by Ender having to kill all the Buggers and then making many enemies.
       Generating compassion for your enemies is the only way to create peace.  
   I said four
It is the safest ways but there are others so now I say 3.  Ender only does it this way but my sisters enemies are simple to understand it's more fun to not try to understand them then it is trickery to win but we still haven't lost.

Orson Scott Card Article Response

Aaron

     Even after reading this article my opinion of the book has not changed, but my opinion of the author has.  The book doesn't speak out against same-sex marriage even though Card does.  The book was great and I would probably have liked it more if it hadn't been assigned to us.  The author is just a little too far behind.  He already lost this battle and won't be getting a better chance.  He won't let this go until he truly realizes he will never win because after one win you must fight again until you lose.  He should realize this because he was basically saying it in his novels.  Mr. Vack shouldn't remove this book because Card was just the author and didn't speak out as much as he is now.  Card needs to see that he is just making enemies.  If he was on the other side of this maybe if there was an anti-anti-gay group going against him and he was being told that he was undeserving of rights he would see this.  That is all my thoughts though not facts opinions.  Maybe none of that would work but it would be worth a try.

              Without an agreement, $85 billion in hated spending cuts begin Friday. The cuts are from the sequester, which Congress and President Barack Obama agreed to in hopes of making them want to stop them that it forces them to reach an alternative.  So what do you think many lawmakers did the day before the  cuts take effect?  Leave.  Before noon on Thursday, many lawmakers walked down the Capitol steps and into awaiting cars to leave Washington. Democrats criticized Republicans for not even staying for the cuts to start coming. Republicans then fought back telling off Democrats for not stepping up to do more.  They blamed each other but didn't do any work.  A few alternatives were proposed but they were all shot-down
         It doesn't look as though these cut would be very good.  I am seeing that things aren't looking up.  I don't believe that this was a smart idea.

1.  They both can manipulate each other but here Peter has been manipulating Valentine. Even though Peter has clearly already won, valentine still has the power.

3.Ender has no control.

       French President Francois Hollande goes To Mali

      Cej #4
      world
           On February 2nd the french president met with Mali's president in Mali.  They did this after defeating Al-Qaeda troops in Timbuktu.  He visited Timbuktu's library of ancient manuscripts.  People were cheering for the french president.  They held up french flags.  France retook three major northern cities.  The french president said he was going to lessen the ground troops to allow the African forces to fight.  He also said "The mission is not over but once the operation was finished, the French would leave because our African friends will be able to carry on doing the job that we have done until now." Around 800 French forces took part in the effort to free Timbuktu.
                  I felt that this was a great story to use because it really tells what is going on in that part of the world.  It also tells of how the world just can and can't get along both pulling the world apart and pushing it together the only problem with that is that the world will either implode or explode if any major change is introduced. That could possible lead to a third world war.

Lenovo's latest break through in touch screen laptops and tablets

Aaron

cej 3

lenovo.us

 technology

    Lenovo, founded in 1984 this company has been creating computers that have started to surpass apple in speed and durability.  Right now I'm going to right about two specific new touch screens and one older version.  The first one I'm going to right about is the thinkPad Helix.  The thinkPad Helix is the newest tablet from lenovo.  It right now looks as though it will be available to buy in April or May. The Helix (the second of the thinkPad tablets) has Up to a 3rd generation Intel Core i7 processor, Up to 256GB SSD storage, Up to 8GB DDR3 memory, and weighs 1.8 lbs as a tablet, and 3.8 lbs with the keyboard.  It can be used as a tablet, a laptop, and tablet with stand when backwards on keyboard.  Now I want to introduce the X1 carbon touch.  This is the both the second most durable laptop with a carbon fiber protection and the second lightest of the laptops weighing 3.4 lbs.  This isn't the most of either of those because an identical X1 carbon made sometime earlier didn't have the touch screen meaning less weight less chance of something breaking.  Like the Helix it has Up to a 3rd generation Intel Core i7 processor, Up to 256GB storage and up to 8GB memory.  Now to finish I would like to talk about an older Lenovo specifically the T60p.  It is a 2006 Lenovo.  The first to have a fingerprint reader.  High durability not as high as the X1 carbon and it weighs about nine pounds.  Why would I talk about this computer you might ask why would I talk about this well to that I tell you that in 7 years Lenovo has moved very far also it was the only Lenovo I owned.

    My lenovo isn't very good and I want that X1 touch.  That is the reason I chose this topic. I find that Lenovo is a great computer engineering company and besides the X series they are quite cheap.  That is why if anyone decides to get a new computer I would suggest opening this link and checking out the products

drone response

          I believe hat drones should be only for reconnaissance.  The predator is to dangerous.  I believe that we don't know how to use these correctly.  A country That did know would be three times as dangerous, and three time as safe.
   
           The re-con drones are much better than the predator.  They save lives and I'd prefer them.  We should be looking for safety not destruction and then protect it.

video game response

Aaron

 I don't have a huge selection of game consoles and any I do want I have to pay for with money I earn.  I try to enjoy the games I have.  My most Favorite game is called Ratchet and clank size matters.

In Florida you can earn up to $1500 for catching snakes. You need to drink water and don't get bitten. You can get $1000 for catching the largest snake and there is a prize of 2 dozen sheep to the python that gets the most snake hunter. Now you might think $1500 is a lot of money but the truth is the most snakes caught will probably be 6 or so. Carl Hiassen said that the snakes would be hard to find. Pythons are huge they can eat people. You would need to be very careful to not be eaten. You would not make a good living fight these snakes but if you want the snakes go ahead.

I thought that this was a great story. It was funny and interesting. Florida was just doing this for the tourists.

Your technology vs. your dogs who will win

        Your technology is your puppies enemy.  Recently in San Francisco
 newspapers were short and the puppies weren’t getting their cages 
lined at the San Francisco animal control agency.  The puppies didn’t 
have newspapers and that was bad.  Puppies who don’t have their 
papers aren’t the same.  They have been needing them more than any second grader trying to do paper mache.  The library saved the day and gave old newspapers to line the doggy cages.  They filled an animal control van with two 32 gallon recycling bins filled with newspapers.  The dogs are already getting their papers again but this is just a small scoop of the whole story so why not look up the rest and see if you can find something really important I missed.  
      This was a great story to me.  I like dogs and the story was important to me because they were actually less likely to be adopted because of our technology.  I Thank you for reading and wish the dogs good luck.

You Are a Musical Learner

Your mantra: That sounds good to me!
You probably sing to yourself while walking down the street. Keep it up! Musical intelligence is associated with enjoying music, singing (vocalists), making music (composers), and playing an instrument (instrumentalists). You are sensitive to sounds and the emotions music conveys. You have a unique ability to know when something is off key.

I thought this was quite correct.  I can easily tells if my instrument sounds off.  I don't compose a lot anymore but I still do.  I was surprised I didn't get 100% on this though.  I work hard on music.

You Are a Logical-Mathematical Learner

Your mantra: Why? Well, because it's logical.
Logical-mathematical intelligence is often what we refer to when we call someone -- such as a mathematician or an engineer -- smart. You possess the ability to understand complex problems, both logical and mathematical. This intelligence asks questions, finds solutions, and reflects on the problem-solving process.

I think through almost every thing as musical or mathematical.  Science and all other subjects can be explained with music or math. That is what i think.  I use logic occasionally.

The Tree

If i truly had to choose an ally at the bottom of this tree it would be Adri, because if I finally landed and I landed on her she wouldn’t try to kill me but Lillie would and I just don’t have the patience for that or any attack while I fall.

Adri is my cousin.  She lived in Idaho with us.  She wanted to go outside that day.

Adri and I walked out of the Idaho house with all the snow glistening on the ground.  The lawn was frozen.  If you could have seen anything on it the night before you couldn’t now.  The only things visible above the three feet of snow was the trees and the fence.  If we had soay at the time they would be invisible.

Right then we had all the snow gear we could get.  Adri was staying with us for a week then with her dad for a week.  Since we were cousins we could practically read each others mind and we didn’t talk to each other so much.

First we went over to the orchard because there are some puddles that freeze during the fall and winter.  The trees were covered with snow five apple trees no apples three pear trees no pears  one oak but all the birds had left it.  The puddles were hidden under the snow but we could find them easily.  You could skate on them with snowshoes. Normally there are three the one to the east is the smallest but still a good depth it was the first we ever discovered when I slipped then we added more water for more ice. The puddle in the middle breaks easily so we tried to skate across the puddle without falling through that one we discovered when we were looking for more puddles.  The one on the west is the biggest and one of our pear trees is in the middle of the puddle we used a broom to uncover that one.

 Once we were done skating we went over to the barn just past the woodshed that we have.  The shed is a plain white color and about 23 feet tall.  Inside it is empty besides the gravel on the floor the cats and cat food and the stack of straw and alfalfa.  We began Keeping the straw and alfalfa in there awhile ago.  The cats were Max Frank and Tigerseafome.  They started living there.  We petted them and fed them then we climbed the bales of alfalfa.

Then we went into the pasture. Inside is mostly just field but we do still have a small blue barn and a chicken pen.  Rien and Sherna(our two horses)were in the little barn. You couldn't see the chickens but a few had left the barn and the snow was moving in spots occasionally(where the chicken were moving).

In the southeast was a great tree it had huge branches and a thick branch. you had to climb the fence just to reach the first branches but once you’re there you’ve got freedom.  Climbing those first branches is hard.  After a while it gets tiring and I feel like I will fall if I don’t stop.  Around forty feet up I stopped to check how much farther I had to go before The branches were dangerous.  Another 20 feet and those branches became too unstable to climb.  Then I slipped, falling helped me choose my ally even though I hit every branch on the way down.  As I thought I landed on the fence then on Adri.  

I’ve pretty much been afraid of heights since then but I think I will climb again.  After all that I decided to return to  the house and look for  my hat I lost.

The funny thing is that same day one of our roosters jumped into a barrel of water drowned the the barrel froze overnight and the next morning my mom found frozen chicken and no we did not eat it (the chicken)to anyone who thought we might have thought we did.
