Generation gap between parents and children

2009-07-07T05:24:00.004-04:00

Differences in opinion will always exist between parents and children. Even twenty years ago, it was unheard of for students to dye their hair or wear makeup. Today, teens simply feel that they are making a fashion statement. On the contrary, parents feel that outer appearance should take a backsseat to academics. This growing focus on individuality futher alienates the younger generation. It also makes teens think that their parents are old-fashioned. Also, changes in technology have led kids to feel that their parents are out of touch with the times. Text massaging and the Internet have created so much more new lingo. As a result, today's youth feel as if they are literally speaking a different language from their parents.

Various types of rice cake(dduck) in Korea

2009-07-07T05:20:00.006-04:00

Korean rice cake, which is called dduck, is a typical type of snack food most Koreans enjoy. It's one of the most popular party treats as well. There are well over a hundred different varieties of dduck in Korea. First of all, there is the "ga-rae dduck". This is the kind used in soups and in dishes like dduck-booki. Basically it's made from rice that is ground up, steamed, and rolled into thick noodles. And then there is the "special occasion dduck". Most of those are quite sweet. My favorites are injul-mi and song-pyeon. Injul-mi is made from sticky rice coated with bean powder. Song-pyeon is rice cake stuffed with things like honey and sesame seeds. Both are normally a litte smaller than the size of a ping pong ball and are easy to eat.

Rivalry in sports competitions between Korea and Japan

2009-07-07T05:11:00.008-04:00

During WWⅡ, Japan conducted numerous atrocities against Korea. Japan has never formally apologized for those crimes against Korea. let alone compensate the victims. Plus, the two nations are currently bogged down in a territorial dispute over the Dokdo islets. Due to those reasons, the rivalry with Japan in international sporting events runs deep in our veins. Such rivalry hits its peak in team sports such as soccer or baseball. The most recent event was the World Baseball Classic back in March. Korean were fired up when we faced Japan several times. Tournaments against Japan are a matter of national pride for most Koreans. Hence, when Korea goes head-to-head with Japan in any type of sport, the whole country fanatically roots for the national team.

The Miss Korea pageant in Korea

2009-07-07T04:58:00.011-04:00

There is an annual beauty pageant called "Miss Korea" in our country. Candidates from all over the country compete for the title every year. They compete in swinsuit contests, talented shows, and interviews during the tournament. Of course, candidates have to be physically attractive, intelligent, and talented to perform well. In Korea, the winner of a beauty pageant is called "jin". The first runner-up and second runner-up are called "sun" and "mi" respectively. The "Miss Korea" pageant used to be broadcast on national television, but it no longer is due to controversy over the event. The winner of the competition gets to represent Korea in the Miss Universe competition. Many finalists in the "Miss Korea" event end up becoming stars in the entertainment business.

Tanya Davis - Art

2008-09-25T07:56:00.013-04:00

i wondered what would be the worth of my words in the world

if i write them and then recite them are they worth being heard

just because i like them does that mean i should mic them

and see what might unfurl

i think of the significance of my opinions here

is it significant to be giving them does anybody care

just because i'm into this does that mean i should live like it

and really do i dare

art, art i want you

art you make it pretty hard not too

and my heart is trying hard here to follow you

but i can't always tell if i ought to

so i pondered the point of my art in this life

if i make it will someone take it and think it's genuine

will they be glad that i did 'cause they got something good out of it

will they leave me and be any more inspired

i question the outcome of the outpouring of myself

if i tell everyone my stories will this keep me healthy and well

will it give me purpose, to this world some sort of service

is it worth it, how can i tell

Every Dog's Guide to the Playground

2008-05-22T07:44:00.011-04:00

Going to The National Film Board of Canada’s Mediatheque, I saw Every Dog's Guide to the Playground as another film. In this animated film our hero, Wally the Safety Dog, continued to suffer a host of injuries as he instructs his master in the rules of playground safety. Frankly, I didn't feel safe but just funny. I will go to watch other films of Wally series when I have time.

Social Networking in Plain English

2008-05-16T00:42:00.005-04:00

Social networking - perhaps you've heard of it before, but are not quite sure what it means?

Social networking is the grouping of individuals into specific groups, like small rural communities or a neighborhood subdivision... if you will. Although social networking is possible in person, especially in schools or in the workplace, it is most popular online. This is because unlike most high schools, colleges, or workplaces, the internet is filled with millions of individuals who are looking to meet other internet users and develop friendships and business relationships, too.

When it comes to online social networking, websites are commonly used. These websites are known as social sites. Social networking websites function like an online community of internet users. Depending on the website in question, many of these online community members share a common interest such as hobbies, religion, or politics. Once you are granted access to a social networking website you can begin to socialize. This socialization may include reading the profile pages of other members and possibly even contacting them.

The friends that you can make are just one of the many benefits to social networking online. Another one of those benefits includes diversity because the internet gives individuals, from all around the world, access to social networking sties. This means that although you are in the United States, you could develop an online friendship with someone in Oregon or Switzerland. Not only will you make a new friend, but you just might learn a thing or two about a new culture and new languages. And, learning is always a good thing.

As mentioned, social networking often involves grouping specific individuals or organizations together. While there are a number of social networking websites that focus on particular interests, there are others that do not. The websites without a main focus are often referred to as "traditional" social networking websites and usually have open memberships. This means that anyone can become a member, no matter what their hobbies, beliefs, or views are. However, once you are inside this online community, you can begin to create your own network of friends and eliminate members that do not share common interests or goals.

As I'm sure you're aware, there are dangers associated with social networking. We hear special reports from famous TV personalities and many "special investigative reports," too. The dangers often involve online predators or individuals who claim to be someone that they are not. Although danger does exist with networking online, it also exists with networking out in the real world, too. Just like you're advised when meeting strangers at a bar, school, or work -- you are also advised to proceed with caution online. By being aware of your surroundings and who you are talking to, you should be able to safely enjoy social networking online. Just use common sense and listen to your inner voice; it will tell you when something doesn't feel right.

Once you've convinced yourself that you are sufficiently informed, you can begin to search for networking communities to join. This can easily be done by performing a standard internet search. Your search will likely return a number of results, including MySpace, FriendWise, FriendFinder, Yahoo! 360, Facebook, Orkut, and Classmates.

RSS in Plain English

2008-05-16T00:09:00.012-04:00

RSS is basically a family of formats used to publish (not broadcast!) frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines or podcasts. The main advantage for users lies in the fact that they don’t have to keep up with their favorite web sites checking them manually. Instead, it is done in an automated manner so you get notified automatically once the sites are updated.

RSS content can be read using feed readers such as Bloglines or aggregators such as Netvibes. The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed’s link into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser. The feed-reader checks the user’s subscribed feeds regularly for new content, downloading any updates that it finds — automatically.

To get an instant idea of how it is actually done you should take a look at RSS in Plain English which explains the basics of RSS in 3.5 minutes in Plain English.

Hairspray - Good Morning Baltimore

2008-05-14T01:13:00.018-04:00

TRACY
Oh, oh, oh
Woke up today
Feeling the way i always do
Oh, oh, oh
Hungry for something
That i can't eat
Then i hear that beat
The rhythm of town
Starts calling me down
It's like a message from
High above
Oh, oh, oh
Pulling me out
To the smiles and the
Streets that i love

TRACY (& ENSEMBLE)
Good morning Baltimore
Every day's like an open door
Every night is a fantasy
Every sound's like a symphony

Good morning Baltimore
And some day when i take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me

Oh, oh, oh
Look at my hair
What "do" can compare with mine today?
Oh, oh, oh,
I've got my hairspray and radio
I'm ready to go

The rats on the street
All dance round my feet
They seem to say
"Tracy, it's up to you"
So, oh, oh
Don't hold me back
'Cause today all my dreams will come true

Good morning Baltimore
There's the flasher who lives next door
There's the bum on his bar room stool
They wish me luck on my way to school

Good morning Baltimore
And some day when i take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me

I know every step
I know every song
I know there's a place where i belong
I see all those party lights shining ahead
So someone invite me
Before i drop dead!

ENSEMBLE
Before she drops dead!

TRACY (& ENSEMBLE)
So, Oh, Oh

Give me a chance
'Cause when i start to dance i'm a movie star
Oh, oh, oh
Something inside of me makes me move
When i hear the groove

My ma tells me no
But my feet tell me go!
It's like a drummer inside my heart
Oh, oh, oh
Don't make me wait
One more moment for my life to start...

ENSEMBLE
Good morning, good morning
Waiting for my life to start

TRACY (& ENSEMBLE)
I love you Baltimore
Every day's like an open door
Every night is a fantasy
Every sound's like a symphony

That some day when
I take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me...
