Observation Of A Computer
.... is a 3”x 5” disk drive. There is also only one button on the front of the disk drive, which is used to eject a disk. I am now going to move from the front of the box to the back of the box.
As I look for a way to remove the casing, I notice there are many receptacles for the respective devices they control. Along with two large fans, which remind me of small air conditioning units, there is a small black switch, which controls the life of the box. As I unscrew the five small screws, which hold the casing in place, I wonder about what amazements lie within. Will there be thousands of small wires protruding from every n .....

Personal Reflections
.... do you grieve someone you hardly knew, but who is supposed to mean so much?? I have postponed the grief some what through alcohol and drug use and avoidance. He did mean something to me because when we came home from school, in seventh grade, that day in January, I was shocked when Mom declared, "you're father is dead." What do you mean?! What happened?! What do you mean he's dead?! Then the tears started to come and the "oh my God's-" the utter shock. They told me it was a burglary but that is not what happened. The truth was withheld from me. He was actually taking advantage of two young male prostitutes. Risky behavior, th .....

People And Places
.... us and welcomed us to his club, noticing that it was our first time there. Now that I have known him for over a year and a half, I can say that he is one of the nicest people I've ever met. Speaking with an Italian accent, always gesturing, dressed very elegantly and always wearing nice suits, expensive shoes and a golden necklace and ring, he looks like he was taken out of a Mafia movie starring Robert DeNiro. The simple fact that he is always smoking cigars and he is around beautiful women makes him look like a mobster.
The place is pretty big, with about twenty pool tables, arranged in rows of four. The wal .....

My Decision To Get A Degree
.... computer information technology, it brings even more opportunity to learn a whole new area of skills.
Some people have not grown with the knowledge of computers and are finding they need more education in that area in order to function at a modern pace. Whether young or old education is valued and respected. Educating myself has changed my self-esteem in a positive, uplifting way. I will continue to work hard and discipline myself for what I must have.
Recently, I applied for a job with a local computer company. Three different people in the company interviewed me. After an interview that last .....

Until science her science teacher was going crazy about the explosion of Earth. She found out that there was a nuclear war between the United States and Russia. The Russians sent an experimental new weapon to United States. The US was trying to defuse is when it blew away the whole planet. The day ended with a crash, on Cathy's way home there was a huge 25 car pile up. She almost slipped in the street because all the water from every ones gas tanks was leaking all over the place. She walked by the local water .....

GIS And My Fields Of Interest
.... Revenue Service, Census Bureau, and also the Mineral Management Service. Another holder of private information would be the Department of Defense, withholding war information and military technology. So far the primary legal uses of GIS are the access to information, product liabilities and breaching of contracts. But GIS is relatively new so there are definitely more uses of GIS in law in the near future. (Epstein, p.498)
Now on to the political arena and the uses of GIS in this area. I will use the state of Iowa as an example. The state government used GIS to redraw congressional and legislative districts for upcom .....

A Bird
.... the earth, I still hope and pray that I will find my soul mate and live happily ever after.
People who know legends about me say I’m the Bird of Paradise or the Bird of Sun. Well they might be right. I receive solar energy from the sun and advise from the Paradise. That is why my wings are surrounded by fire and my song is so adorable and angelic. If a human happens to hear me singing, that person will be happy for the rest of his life.
It’s hard to make me angry because I’m very sweet. But there are moments when I can loose control. That is the worst that can happen with me. Because I obtain lots of energy from the Su .....

The Monkeys
.... helping you do everything. From now on, when we feed you bananas, its your responsibility to pick up your banana peals and throw them in the garbage can. It would be a great help to us. Sincerely, Gus and Barbara.
When the two smartest monkeys, Ted and Jill, finally translated this note, they told all of the other monkeys how outrageous it was and the whole monkey room was in an uproar. Most of the monkeys refused to clean up their peels when they were done just to show Gus and Barbara that they wouldn’t comply with everything that they told them to do. Other monkeys did what they were told, but even those monkeys were u .....

My Journey
.... notice the differences from previous classrooms to this one. I keep thinking that I am finally here, no longer in junior high, but in highschool. It was a completely different territory, where I was a lowly sophomore, rather then the bigshot head of the class ninth grader. I notice that other students are looking around the room, and I wonder if they’re thinking the same things that I am? Throughout the rest of the day, I walk around in awe; not only of the other people, but of the newfound scenery as well. When lunchtime rolls around, I search my pockets for the lunch money my mother had given me. I stand in line, admiring the ef .....

Nowhere, Kansas
.... “just a few days ago we met head on with a twister.”
I looked at my cousin with a slight smirk on my face. I knew we were thinking the same thing, “that was rather ironic.” I turned to the worker and replied, “it was no inconvenience to us.”
We continued to walk into the store and found that there was another part to the building that was made into a café. The whole reason we had gone to this store was to find something to eat so we walked up to the counter and ordered a couple of sandwiches. The girl that took our order was a petite girl around seventeen years old she had an even stronger accent than the man did. When we w .....

The Witness
.... members. Adam sat in the backseat, squeezed between two agents. He was confused, still half asleep and luckily, very quiet.
The dark car turned off the freeway and drove carefully down what seemed an unused dirt track. They were taking Adam to an FBI safehouse, to reduce th risk of being found. safe. As the car turned a corner and picked up speed, the shot was fired. A gunshot rang out through the trees. Joel looked in the back. The agent on the left side was leaning on Adam, and the other agent was frantically trying to move the body. Joel had no idea what to do, but he knew that he couldn’t take Adam to the safehouse. He sudd .....

Cinncinnati: Loveland: Paxton Woods
.... Because of its rich soil and abundance of rivers, which were vital to the transportation and livelihood of the day, settlers started arriving by 1788. Most of the city’s early settlers arrived by putting several weeks worth of food and their life’s possessions on flatboats, which were really nothing more than a small log cabin sitting on a modified Huck Finn-style raft, and drifting down the river. The current was their source of power, and travel was slower than an L.A. freeway during rush hour.
John Filson, one of the area’s first settlers, originally named the area Losantiville, a compilation of Latin, Greek, French and Delaw .....
