Mi Fo-neh-te-kah: Love Chocolate!
In (mostly) Standard American English:
This short writing was inspired by the book "Como Aqua para Chocolate" by Laura Esquivel, which translates in English to: Like Water for Chocolate.
In my daily reflections, I have come up with a few short ideas, or positive sayings.
My Reflections:
Love Chocolate
Need Water
(after watching Ellen on TV)
Need Milk
Like Water
(around a neighbor called "Pink")
Need Chocolate-Milk
Like Water
then...after playing around (verbally) with Pink:
Will make Blu Milk
Vodka looks like water.
My Nu Recipes:
Blue Milk
1 Packet Blue Cool Aid
[Kool Aid is a popular drink made from a packet of flavorful powder, sugar, and water.]
Soymilk
Mix powder with soymilk.
A Soy Sandwich Sauce
*I'm not sure why the nut pastes are called nut-butters...does the nut paste use oil which comes from butter?
1 tsp. Peanut butter
1 tsp. Tahini butter
Sesame Oil
Chilies (Red Pepper Flakes)
a little Vinegar
En Español
Me gusta Chocolate
Necesito Agua
(Despues de miré Ellen via television)
Necesito Leche
Me gusta Agua
(cerca de una mujer llamamos "rosada")
Necesito Leche - Chocolate
Me gusta Agua
pues mi reflexiono (yo pensé),
Quiero preparar Leche azul
Como Agua, Veo Vodka es claro.
Leche Azul
1 paquete de 'Kool Aid' de color azul
Soja (o leche de soja, o leche de soya)
mezcla el polvo con la soja.
Un salsa para un sandwich con soja (o soya)
1 tsp. (una cucharita) cacahuete
1 tsp. (una cucharita) Tahini paste
aceite (Sesame)
chilies
un poco vinagre

What Not To Waer...umm...Wear.
What Not To Waer....umm....Wear. What Not To Wear on TLC....
Yes, I did a little automatic spelling...and I like the results, but that is not the reason I wanted to post this blo-gah. I wanted to mention an episode of What Not To Wear (WNTW) on TLC. The fashion gurus did (IMO) a wonderful job improving a Blogger, who is also a Mother, named Amanda. I lah-vah her improved image...I like the Jenny Craige effect, "We specialize in results!" Amanda looked wonderful after the show.
What Amanda did:
1. She pulled her hair from out of her rubberband (or scrunche?), letting her long curly hair hang around her face and shoulders. A hair stylist then cut her hair...in layers?
2. She wore make-up, which gave her beautiful face an even complexion...and a nice healthy shine.
3. She added a new set of glasses (very stylish cat glasses with black frames) to her wardrobe.
4. She wore mid-length dresses, and comfortable (cam-ta-bul?) jeans (not too big), which showed off her attractive legs. As the host explaned, we don't have to like everything about our bodies, but we should never hate our bodies. In my opinion, she should show off the parts of herself that she likes.
5. And she wore heels....which looked great on her! I enjoyed this episode, the transformation looked wonderful!
I hope I can read her blog (blo-gh) about the experience! Amanda, my advice to you...you look nice. Don't strive for prefection, but rather (continue what you seem to be doing) keep balanced. Keep comfort in mind, stay professional (in professional settings), and feel good looking nice.

The Scientific Method
My "Off-Wikipedia" Informational Posts: The Scientific Method
What Is The Scientific Method?
From Wikipedia (the Free Encyclopedia)
Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method
The Scientific method refers to a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge.[1]
To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning.[2] The Oxford English Dictionary says that scientific method is: "a method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses."[3]
Although procedures vary from one field of inquiry to another, identifiable features distinguish scientific inquiry from other methods of obtaining knowledge. Scientific researchers propose hypotheses as explanations of phenomena, and design experimental studies to test these hypotheses. These steps must be repeatable, to predict future results. Theories that encompass wider domains of inquiry may bind many independently derived hypotheses together in a coherent, supportive structure. Theories, in turn, may help form new hypotheses or place groups of hypotheses into context.
Scientific inquiry is generally intended to be as objective as possible, to reduce biased interpretations of results. Another basic expectation is to document, archive and share all data and methodology so they are available for careful scrutiny by other scientists, giving them the opportunity to verify results by attempting to reproduce them. This practice, called full disclosure, also allows statistical measures of the reliability of these data to be established.
A Simplified Version of the Scientific Method.
1- Propose a Hypothesis. Next, design an experimental study to test your hypothesis.
2 - Observation. Perform the Experiment, gathering observable and measurable data.
3 - Record Results. Share your findings, and experimental procedure. One of the goals of the Scientific community should be to share ideas, and information, so that other scientist can have opportunities to verify results by attempting to reproduce them.
4 - Conclusion. Did the evidence support the original hypothesis? Did the original hypothesis change? Did the results of the experiment lead to new questions?

Does Facebook Need a Troll Community?

Does Facebook Need a Troll Community?
I thought a lot about Trolls after writing my "Off-Wikipedia" article on Internet Trolls (people who are aggressively argumentative, and disrupt websites with their comments or insults, thereby creating hostile environments Online. )
I imagined...a peaceful sign...
Since Trolls often look for "newbies," people who are unexperienced with avoiding cyberbullies, I drempt of online communities that posted signs, which allowed trolls, but only when everyone can see them in the "full light of day" (if sunlight could shine on websites...and virtual communities.)
Then I thought, an even better solution would be to direct playful, "Play'a Trolls" to sites designed for them. Imagine a Troll playground, where internet users, who like to act like trolls could "battle," "argue," or interact with other Trolls in various ways.
I checked the net. I didn't see much online-community space for Trolls, so I created my own "Trolls~R~Us" group on Facebook. I'm not saying this is the best option, but (for now) it's a simple solution...for "playful" Trolls....

Trolls ~ B~ Us (by Music Troll)
Be a Troll! Be a Troll!
Let disruption be your goal!
As you holler, as you howl
about diseases from mad cow
You can fight! As you fight
over the stuff we're free to write
You don't like the things we say,
so you refuse to go away
from our site, every night
Insulting people, wrong or right
If you refuse to be polite
with my sarcasm I will BITE!
Reply: *typing in red Ink*
I'm a Troll! I'm a Troll!
I'm the head Troll in Control
And I "ha8" those who hate
telling those who playah hate
Can't you spel, man you smell
here the tell I'm hear to tale
As you snooze, and loose your cool
I play them suckahs with my bull
I'm so cool, I won't lie
when I choose to shoot a fly
Cave-dwellers like to fight
when they refuse to see the light!
