Baja 1000

Standard

The Baja 1000 is the longest off-road race in the world. It is called the Baja 1000 because of its location which is Baja California, Mexico and averages about 1000 miles each race. Some of the most popular racers consist of “Ballistic” BJ Baldwin, Robby Gordon, and even movie stars like Patrick Dempsey. The course is very grueling and many competitors do not even finish the race. The race includes multiple pit stops because you need fuel and sometimes driver changes. It usually lasts about 16 hours starting at 10:00 am and lasts till 10:00 the next morning! kajigl

 

This race isn’t about having the fastest truck or the farthest jump, it takes hours and hours of commitment and dedication of the driver and the team to last through the race. There are many different classes in the B1k from dirt bikes to UTV’s, like RZR’s, buggies, quads, and the premier class, Trophy Trucks. Some day I hope to compete in the Baja 1000.

Getting A New Pet? WP11

Standard

Now I know that many of you people out there own a pet, and many of you do not. This post will be for the people who do not have a pet, but are thinking about getting one. I hope you can get some sort of assistance for your decisions in your great journey to obtain a pet.

Step #1 – What Type of Pet You Should Get

 So, if you’re thinking about getting a pet, you should obviously think about what type of animal you are going to keep as a pet. Dogs are great fun and energetic, but you must take care of them a lot more compared to other pets. Cats are more independent than other animals, and will most likely be able to take care of themselves while you are away. Rodents (For example a hamster) don’t really need much care, you just have to keep them updated with their cage and toys. Birds, well… I don’t know much about them… So you have to figure out the pros and cons with the type of animal you’re thinking of getting. If you’re an energetic person who has quite a bit of time, then I’d recommend a dog. If you aren’t very energetic and simply like staying in the house with you pets, then I’d recommend a cat. If you don’t have much time for your pet, I’d recommend a hamster or fish. Although these recommendations may help, the pet you’re picking out may be WAY different than the short descriptions I had made.

Step #2 – Supplies to Purchase

 If you’re thinking of buying a certain pet, you must plan for what you need for them, making you spend a lot more money for the supplies. Now for this post, I’ll be doing the supplies for dogs as I own one myself. You should always buy your supplies before your pet comes home. The most vital things I’d recommend are

  1. Food (The type of food may vary depending on what type of dog you get)
  2. Dishes (One dish for food and the other dish for water)
  3. Doggy Pee Pads (It will greatly help you potty-train your new pet)
  4. Treats (Will help with training, give them to your pet when they do something right)
  5. Toys (Definitely need these to entertain your doggy)
  6. Dog Bed (Make sure it is comfortable for your dog so he can sleep in it, some dogs may also chew on their bed so keep an eye out)
  7. Poo-Bags (Clean after your dogs… Must I say more?… No, I don’t)
  8. Leash (You’ll definitely need this when taking your dog on a walk after he’s been checked by a Vet)
  9. Carrier (To carry your pet through traveling)

OPTIONAL

  1. Urine Destroyer (Will eliminate any urine on carpets, just incase your dog has an accident)
  2. Bitter Spray (If you think your dog will chew on furniture, just spray some of this on it and it will make them know that they shouldn’t chew on it the next time they try to.)
  3. Lint Roller (If your dog tends to shed, will pick up hair very easily.)

Step #3 – Taking Care of Your Dog

 Now the behavior of your dog can vary A LOT. Your dog’s breed could be known as a very silly, energetic dog, but it could be a very well behaved and obedient. So, I’ll probably just be making recommendations of what I think you should do. Well, first of all, your dog must get used to the new environment he/she is in, so let them explore their new habitat as much as they’d like. Just make sure they’re safe, so you should probably keep an eye on where they’re going. As before, your pet may be different, but I would show my pet as many things as I can when they are around 3-10 weeks old, sort of like humans, they learn faster when they’re younger. When your dog gets older, remember that you should always buy them new toys every once in a while so they don’t get bored of the old ones, also buy some sort of bone they can chew on if they’re teething. Most important of all, exercise your dog, otherwise they’ll get bored and sad, it also keeps them very happy and entertained. You should give their own spot in the house that is more closed in than normal, it will make them feel safe when they go to sleep at night. It’s basically a doggy den. Some pets might also need to be groomed, and bathed often. Also don’t forget that you have to take your pet to the vet for check-ups. Something I forgot to mention is meeting other animals, if you have some sort of other animal, you must introduce that animal to your new pet. They may not like each other at first but soon they’ll learn, if they fight, quickly gently pick-up the pets and carry them away from each other, find a way to teach them that what they did wasn’t right. The reasons why animals tend to fight each other, is because they are very territorial, so if you bring in a new pet, you’ll make them feel like you’re adding an intruder to their territory, or homeland. Some may get along very well, some may not, as before, it may vary. Other than that, I wish you luck in the future once you have your pet! Have a good one!

Bonus

 Now I can’t end a blog post about animals without adding some sort of picture, so here’s a random picture of a corgi that I think looked pretty funny.

Good luck raising your pet!

Most Advanced Technology in 2015 WP6

Standard

Our generation is slowly advancing in technology. Soon we will live a life of the future we imagined. As of right now, I will be talking about the coolest and advanced technology we have right now. Have you heard of mind control? You probably said yes, so their are people who have made a robotic exoskeleton that can be control with your mind. You can control it’s leg as of right now. It might not sound like a lot, but these robotic exoskeleton can act like a wheelchair that can be controlled with your mind. 3D printers are very advanced and are slowly getting more. These machines can soon print food, medications, cars, and even print itself. Like in some games there are laser weapons. We have made a laser weapon that can melt a test drone in a couple of seconds. Technology is advancing so much, can we keep up? Comment what you would like to see in a post and you might get to see your idea in the next Weekly Post.

Tip #2 Care for a Husky Wp6

Standard

Wait before anything else don’t just go out and get a husky you need to know the cost. First of all you cant be one of those people that are out all day you need to be able to spend time with your husky or else it will get aggressive. Second you need to be able to walk it at least 2 miles a day, I personally bike with mine 3 miles a day. Third huskies come from cold places so you cant leave it out in the heat take them inside  for a little bit each day so they don’t overheat or put them in someplace where they wont get hot (they need a lot of water). One last tip is that they have a lot of fur so be prepared for your home to be filled with hair. If you really truly want a husky consider these tips before adopting a husky.imageP.S. this is my husky named Kahlua.

Makeup Tips and Tricks WP4

Standard

Hey peepers! So I decided to make another blog about makeup! So lets get right to blogging shall we? Now if you like using eyeliner that’s bold but your eyeliner isn’t as bold as you want it here’s what you need to do. All you need is:

  • A lighter
  • Pencil eyeliner

Now put the lighter right by the pencil, and boom you have a bold, and bigger looking eyeliner.

Now for this trick you will need:

  • White eyeliner

Okay, so if you want your eye shadow to pop, this is what you need to do. First you put the white eyeliner on like you always do, just with a thicker line. Next put your eye shadow on and it will look much more colorful and popping.

Next makeup trick you’ll need:

  • Eye liner
  • Spoon

If you’re a person who likes winged eyeliner this is how to make the PERFECT winged eye liner line. First make the line across your eye as you usually do. Next grab the spoon and put it against your eye and trace the end of the spoon with your eyeliner and whalaa you have your perfect winged eye line.

Here’s one last trick, here’s what you’ll need:

  • Translucent powder/ white non glittery eye shadow
  • Makeup brush

This last trick is to plump your eyelashes. So when you do this all you’ll need to do is put the powder on your eyelash and where you’d put your eyeliner. Then after that, put on your mascara and you’re ready.

Erudite Testing WP#10 By Daniel

Standard

http://www.thefandom.net/movies/watch-trailer-insurgent-sequel-divergent/

If you have seen the movie Insurgent, you will get this. This box is a special box kept by the parents of Beatrice Prior: Andrew and Natalie Prior now in the hands of Jeanine Matthews. The box is special, because it carries a message from the outside of the gates. The only trick is: that it can only be opened by a 100% Divergent of all the factions. In order to get the right Divergent it will have to be hooked up to a computer and a Divergent test subject will be tested to see if he or she is 100% to give the data to the box. Once the data is in the box it will open to reveal the message. Now that might not seem bad, but in order to get 100% true data, there will be pain. The test begins with the Divergent being hooked up to the computer with wires that stab into the body and cause reactions to he or she. For example if the subject were to be punched in the test, these reactors will cause pain in that part of the body. Yes, if damaged enough the subject can die. The Divergent’s test will be based off to see if they are like all five factions. The first test: Dauntless where they have to chase a flying burning house to catch a someone who means a lot to the test subject. If passed onto Candor where your finally reunited with that person and they will ask you if there is something you want to say. If you say the truth like: you don’t want to be Divergent or you just want to die. Basically a truth that means something and is not something like: I hate jelly or I think she is ugly. After that onto Erudite where you are saved by your beloved and in the midst of it your worst enemy will be at gunpoint and that is the Abnegation test. If you let the person live, you pass Abnegation. After that your beloved takes you away from the testing chamber and if your’re smart enough to realize the truth you will pass. Now it might seem dumb, but if you were being a test subject and could possibly die, I bet you would probably want to leave. Last is Amity, where you fight your inner, negative thoughts. The twist: the thoughts come in a physical form, yourself. That version of yourself will tell you insults like: your’re just another filthy Divergent and such. Also they will fight you and you can only run away and throw them if they get close to you, to pass the test. If you do survive and pass all the test the message will be opened and can be played any time. That is how you open the special box.

Cali Roots WP#16

Standard

This weekend I went to this thing called California Roots. It is a Reggae fest. If some of you don’t know Reggae is a genre of music. I basically went to a music festival. This fest was for all three days of the weekend. There was no bands playing on Monday but we left that morning so we didn’t have to leave so late at night on Sunday. That would make sense since the last bad on Sunday ended at 11:00 pm. I saw only a few live since we could here the bands play from our RV. The bands I saw live were Iration, Collie Budz, Common Kings, Steel Pulse, The Dirty Heads, Slightly Stoopid, and tribal seeds. I would say that my favorite band to SEE LIVE was Dirty Heads, but i think Iration is my favorite band there. I’m starting to like Dirty Heads a lot since the festival. I hope you all go, have a good day. It is a great life experience.

Civil War

Standard

Last week in Atlanta Georgia they officially started the filming of Captain America Civil War. Civil War will basically be Captain America vs Iron Man and the other people who will join in. Also another trouble in this movie will be Captain America trying to find his old friend Bucky Barnes/The Winter Solider who had his memory erased in the last movie. This movie is set to come out in the movie theaters on May 6, 2016. This movie is set to take place after The Avengers Age Of Ultron. In Civil War basically every avenger is gonna be in It except for Thor and Hulk. There’s also rumors of Spider Man and Black Panther appearing in the film. There’s one more rumor about the movie and It’s that Captain America might die. I personally don’t think they’ll kill him off because of how much Marvel movies they have coming out in the future.http://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/captain-america-civil-war-synopsis-production-start-date/

Steph Curry Fall

Standard

Yesterday, the Warriors versed the Rockets for game 4 in the series 3-0 with Warriors winning. Curry was going up to block a shot, which was actually a fake and he flipped over and landed on his head and back. He laid on the ground for a while, trying not to move, but then finally got up and went to the locker room to get checked out. He came back at the end of the game, trying to come back and the first shot he air balled really bad, but then came back and drained some 3s. They thought he might of had a concussion, but fortunately he only had a contusion and returned to the game. They still lost, but its okay because the series is 3-1.  http://www.rappler.com/sports/by-sport/basketball/94348-nba-steph-curry-contusion-game-4
