My New Avatar

I, Too, Sing America

I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.

Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed--

I, too, am America.

My poetry:
I, too, sing America
Of the great country that had its flag held high
high in the open sky
a flag so strong I wish I can call it mine

Today I see no shame
Tomorrow I will take the blame
Standing up for my countries' will
For with me they will have power

Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed--

Allah- The Moon God

The religion of Islam has as its focus of worship a deity by the name of "Allah." The Muslims claim that Allah in pre-Islamic times was the biblical God of the Patriarchs, prophets, and apostles. The issue is thus one of continuity. Was "Allah" the biblical God or a pagan god in Arabia during pre- Islamic times? The Muslim's claim of continuity is essential to their attempt to convert Jews and Christians for if "Allah" is part of the flow of divine revelation in Scripture, then it is the next step in biblical religion. Thus we should all become Muslims. But, on the other hand, if Allah was a pre- Islamic pagan deity, then its core claim is refuted. Religious claims often fall before the results of hard sciences such as archeology. We can endlessly speculate about the past or go and dig it up and see what the evidence reveals. This is the only way to find out the truth concerning the origins of Allah. As we shall see, the hard evidence demonstrates that the god Allah was a pagan deity. In fact, he was the Moon-god who was married to the sun goddess and the stars were his daughters.

Basketball Update

So far the Nuggets are 47-25. Since Kenyon Martin has been injured they lost another big man which is very unfortunate because they aren't a very big team to begin with. Carmelo Anthony has to now grab rebounds more often and the other day he had a career-high 18 boards in a game. The Nuggets have been 5-4 since George Karl has been out. The Nuggets are now tied with Jazz for second place in the western conference.
Hopefully George Karl comes back as soon as possible as well as Kenyon Martin because the season is coming to a close.

The Solar Deity"Sun God"

A solar deity also known as a sun god is a deity who represents the sun, or an aspect of it, usually by its perceived power and strength. Solar deities and sun worship can be found throughout most of recorded history in various forms. Hence, many beliefs have formed around this worship, such as the "missing sun". In different religions solarised supreme deities carry different names and are associated with different aspects of the cultural universe of the society, but for the most part its raw image remains identical.

Altas: God of Thunder

King Atlas, a mythical King of Mauretania, was also known as Aparajit in Hindusim, according to legend, a wise philosopher, mathematician and astronomer who supposedly made the first celestial globe. It was this Atlas that Gerardus Mercator was referring to when he first used the name 'Atlas', and he included a depiction of the King on the title-page. However, the more widely known Atlas is a figure from Greek mythology. He is the son of the Titan Iapetus and Clymene (or Asia), and brother of Prometheus. Atlas was punished by Zeus and made to bear the weight of the heavens (the idea of Atlas carrying the Earth isn't correct according to the original myth) on his back, on top of Mt. Tam. One of Heracles's labours was to collect the apples of the Hesperides, guarded by Ladon. Heracles went to Atlas and reasoned with him. Eventually, Atlas agreed to collect the apples, and Heracles was left to carry the weight. Atlas tried to leave Heracles there, but Heracles tricked him and Atlas was left to carry the heavens forever. In his epic Odyssey, Homer refers to this Atlas as "one who knows the depths of the whole sea, and keeps the tall pillars who hold heaven and earth asunder". In works of art, this Atlas is represented as carrying the heavens or the Celestial Sphere, on his shoulders.

This is a Myth.

Benjamin Banneker

Benjamin Banneker was born November 9, 1731. He was a free African American astronomer, mathematician, surveyor, almanac author and farmer. Benjamin Banneker completed the clock in 1753 at the age of 21. Benjamin Banneker's invention affects use because people use clocks to know what time it is in the day. His invention affects me because I use clocks to know what time it is as well.

Fight At Midwood After Basketball Game

Post-game fracas flares after Midwood tops Banneker - NYPOST.com

Daily News Article

Rod Barajas signs with the Mets

The Mets have signed catcher Rod Barajas. Everyone on the Mets is happy except for Omir Santos. He came in Spring Training as the one who was most likely to win the starting postition but now that Barajas has signed with them he is almost definitely going to be the starting catcher while Henry Blanco is going to almost definitely be backup. The Mets got a good defensive catcher with some pop in his bat in Barajas and it gives their lineup more depth.

Process of Suicide Amongst Teens

Suicide is a very terrible thing. For one to lose their life is as bad as it sounds but then to also lose it in their own hands makes it even worst. The reasons behind a teen's suicide or attempted suicide can be complex. Although suicide is relatively rare among children, the rate of suicides and suicide attempts increases tremendously during adolescence. Suicide is the third-leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-olds.
The risk of suicide increases dramatically when kids and teens have access to firearms at home, and nearly 60% of all suicides in the United States are committed with a gun. That's why any gun in your home should be unloaded, locked, and kept out of the reach of children and teens. Suicide rates differ between boys and girls. Girls think about and attempt suicide about twice as often as boys, and tend to attempt suicide by overdosing on drugs or cutting themselves. Yet boys die by suicide about four times as often girls, perhaps because they tend to use more lethal methods, such as firearms, hanging, or jumping from heights.

Knicks get Tracy Mcgrady!!

Yes the Knicks finally get a legitimate superstar in a 3-way trade with the Houston Rockets and Sacremento Kings. The Knicks got Tracy Mcgrady who is a 7-time all-star from the Rockets and Sergio Rodriguez from the Kings. The Rocket got Kevin Martin and Hilton Armstrong from the Kings and Jordan Hill with Jared Jeffries from the Knicks. The Rockets can also swap first round picks with the Knicks in 2011 and will get the Knicks first round pick of 2012. The Knicks plan is to clear salary cap which they have already done because they also traded Nate Robinson to the Celtics, and land if not one then two elite starters among a group of free-agents that include Lebron James, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire, Joe Johnson, and Dwayne Wade. Their main goal is to get Lebron by giving him the option of who else he wants on the team.

Depression Amongst Teens

Depression is a very bad thing. Many teens fall under this due to peer pressure and they feel as if everyone is looking at them although it is usually just an illusion. Because teens do not have the verbal skills of adults, they don't speak at all at times about their struggles.Depression usually leads to other things such as drugs which is a very bad thing for society. 70 % of teens do not get treatment for it as well which can lead to things like drugs and suicide. It can also lead to things that seem minor but can get out of hand like headaches. Parents should investigate and seek out help if their child or adolescent expresses feelings of sadness, hopelessness, despair, worthlessness, or lack of interest in usual activities.

Police Taser Student at Basketball Game

Police Taser Student at Basketball Game

Student Tasered in Pittsburgh

This is a link to a video that shows a police officer using a taser on kids in High School. This happened after a basketball fight. My opinion on this is that it is not right because police officers should not be able to taser kids. Sometimes adults die when they are taser and the same thing can happen to kids which is not what we want in our community and I think that the government should make this illegal.

Who: The teenagers at the basketball game.
What: Some student were being tasered.
When: During a school basketball game.
Where: At a high school basketball game.
Why: Because there was a fight at the basketball game.

Martin Luther King "The Other America"

Martin Luther King Jr. a man who has helped lead to a great change. He was born January 15, 1929 which is also the reason why i am making this post. He was an American clergyman, activist and prominent leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. His main legacy was to secure progress on Civil Rights in the United States and he became an icon. He led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and help found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957. He also led to the 1963 March on Washington where he delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech.

Martin Luther King made another famous speech called "The Other America". In the speech he speaks of two different types of Americas. One America is separated and was known for it's poverty around the world and it was a horrible place for anyone to live in. The other America however was totally opposite, everyone was united as one just like the constitution proposed it should be and America was known only for it's riches and prosperity as it was the best place to live in on the Earth. He speaks of these two Americas in a way that relates back to the topic of Civil Rights and why Black people have made so many efforts to stop segregation because it would lead to the bad United States.

Happy New Years!!!!

This is the brand new year of 2010 and now new opportunities are being made. Every year people are getting older and people are celebrating the fact that new generations are coming into the world. This year is special because it is beginning a new decade and now i want to do new things. I want to do better and try new things as well and I hope that the rest of you take the opportunity to do the same.

Merry Christmas

Honestly this year's chrismas was not as good as the other that i have had in my past. I got about 7 new sweaters which i always get for chrismas. I also got two new games for my PS3 which is Assasin's Creed and DBZ Raging Blast. I also recieved some new shoes and that was about it. I hate the fact that my birthday is so close to christmas because i get one big present which would be my 32 GB Ipod touch this year for my birthday. Unfortunately i still have a lot of work to do for my classes so now that i have gotten my presents i will work on it.

Basketball Update

So far the season is going great for the Nuggets. Our record is 20-8 behing the Lakers in the Western Conference so what more can i ask for, well besides first place but second is good as well. Carmelo Anthony is averaging 30.8 points which is the highest for any player in the NBA so i am very cool with that. If the nuggets can win a championship this year then now I can make an argument for Carmelo being the best player in the NBA but maybe I should still wait until he's about 28 years old or something to do that. But anyway so far if the season continues to play like it has a third of the way through the season then we will be 59-23 which would be outstanding and I will be happy.

A Mathematical Concept

In Mathematics, a function is a relation between a given set of elements called the domain and a set of elements called the codomain. The function associates each element in the domain with exactly one element in the codomain. An example of a function with a domain would be {A,B,C}. A function can be described in several ways. It can be described by a formula, a plot or graph. In pure mathematics, functions are defined using set theory and there are theorems that show the existence of uncountably many different functions and most can not be expressed with a formula or algorithm. Functions are used in every area of mathematics. The area of mathematics that takes function as a main set of study is called analysis. In functions, there is an independent variable or argument that is usually represented by the letter x but if the input or indepent variable is revolved around time then people would usually represent it as the letter t. In functions there are also dependent variables or value that is usually represented by the letter y. The function itself if represented by f and that is why f=y(x)

Best Buy

Best buy is a good place to get things. This is the place where i happen to buy games and movies. They allow you to play games for display. They also sell GPS, cell phones, Tv's and books. I would recommend this to people who want to get things on sale and still get as good of quality as anything else has to offer.

Yahoo Video

Yahoo video is a very good thing to get in to. You can recieve mail telling you new current events. There are various topics that you are able to view and get access into. You can view the news as many people do due to their interest in current events. You can view movies and television which is really cool because many people are interested in that as well. They have a section for just funny videos and clips, let's be serious who doesnt like funny things?. They also show the newest things in sports, and i am one who likes to watch sports so this is something that i am interested in. The last section of view that they have is spotlight. This is very unique because it has videos from every section but only the most important ones that people would view the most.

Google Maps

Google maps is a very important thing for some people. It is mainly used for people to get around different places and get dirrections. I have used Google Maps to print out a map of where i toured around Brooklyn for Ms.Sinckler. This is a good thing as you can see because you can get around and create projects like I did. I also felt that i did a pretty good job on my project which is good so this can do the same for other people. I always use this when i have to go to a place that I am unfamiliar with and other people can do the same.

Worldlive

This is a website that includes webcams. Once you say webcams for some reason people seem to get clung on to it because sometimes they use it to communicate with their friends and family. This doesnt use webcams for that reason but dont be upset about that. It uses webcams for other reasons that are very cool. This website is Worldlive and it enables you to see site from all over the world. I would recommend this to a lot of different peole to use it for the purpose of seeing new things in life. The only reason why i would recommend this to someone is because it can show you things that you shouldnt be revealed to however, you can avoid this.

Blogger

I believe that blogger is a good thing that a lot more people should be interested in looking at. You can publish posts to blogger making it available for other people to see it. Also you can add images and videos to show something to back up what you wrote on your blog which is really good. It is actually quite funny because i am posting a blog about blogger on blogger with my blog for my teacher because she told us to make a blog and I chose blogger as one blog to put a blog about. I would recommend it because it is a good learning experience as i have implied in the written statements about it above. I dont think that their are any bad things about blogger, it only helps you do positive things but it might be a little time consuming for some people.

My Favorite Television Show

Over the break all i have been doing is catching up on my family guy. It is like the funniest show watch on channel 11. I have basically seen every new episode and old ones. The funniest part about the show is that it has a lot of flashbacks about their life. Also they relate the shows to current events often which is another funny feature about the show.

My Birthday

Today was one of the best birthdays. My mother said that she isnt going to get the cake until tomorrow because she wants it to be celebrated along with thanksgiving but its ok. The only reason why I say that is because of my gift. I got the new ipod touch 3g and i downloaded a lot of new applications for fun. I am going to try and put movies and television shows that are funny like family guy. I cant wait until I put all of these new things so that i can enjoy my gift.

David Wright Hits The First Homer In Citi Field 2009!

This video shows David Wright hitting the first homerun in Citi field. This will forever be remembered as the first homerun. The fact that he is the leader of this team, makes it even more special to all Mets fans.

David Wright Clutch Go-Ahead 2-run Homerun Against the Phillies

This video shows David Wright hitting a clutch homerun against the phillies. In this game, the tables have turned because the Phillies always come from behind to defeat the Mets. It actually almost seems like every game they play against each other. David Wright had four Rbis in this game and they came in both the 8th and 9th inning to help the Mets come back.

World Series 2009 Game 6!!!!!

Finally the World Series has come an end. Game 6 at Yankee Stadium was one to remember. Mariano Rivera came in the 8th inning looking to get another fabulous two inning save. It was 6-3 at the time but they scored one more insurance run to make 7-3 the final. The pitching match up was Pedro Martinez vs Andy Petitte. Hideki Matsui did basically all of the damage in this game. He hit a 2-run shot in the 3rd inning and also has a two-run double along with a 2-RBI single. He has 6 RBIs overall and that tied a record for the most RBIs in a clinching game in Yankees. He ended up being the MVP of the world series as he had 3 homeruns in this series and only started one game. Pedro got the loss and Andy Pettite got the win as the Yankees got their 27th World Series Title.

World Series Game 5!!!!!!

Another game that Cliff Lee starts, another day the Phils are victorious. Cliff Lee was throwing a brilliant game up until the 8th inning. He only game up one run until the eighth. Chase Utley also took part in the big win as he hit a big 3-run shot off of A.J Burnett and another add on run in the bottom of the 7th with a solo shot. He also tied a record with Reggie Jackson as he hit 5 homeruns in the World Series. In the 8th inning, the Yankees made it a real ballgame. Back to back singles to begin the inning and a 2-run double. Cliff Lee then gave up a walk and the manager took him out of the game and the man that came out of the bullpen gave up those runs that were charged to Lee. Cliff Lee ended up giving up 5 runs in 7+ innings as he did not record an out in the 8th. From that inning the Yankees werent able to muster up a really big inning to take the lead or anything but they got one more run. Brad Lidge ended up getting the save in the 9th inning and Cliff Lee got the win as A.J Burnett got the loss. The Yankees now lead the series 3-2.

World Series Game 4!!!!!

If there was ever a game to come up big Johnny Damon did it tonight. He was 3 for 4 with an RBI, also he got a late 9th inning single which started a rally. The Yankees in the beggining of this game got 2 runs to start out, then the Phils came back to score one in the bottom of the inning. Later they score another run in the middle inning to tie it. Then the Yanks got another rally to score two more and put themselves ahead 4-2. In the bottom of the 7th Chase Utley got to C.C with a solo homerun to get Philadelphia within one run. The Yankees put Joba Chamberlain to pitch in the bottom of inning number 8. He struck out the first two guys as he had his best fastball and continued to throw it. Pedro Feliz came up to try to do one thing and that was to hit a homerun so that they wouldnt have to rally off of Mariano Rivera(Yankees Closer) to tie the game. Pedro Feliz worked the count then Joba made a mistake by leaving a fastball down the middle and up and Pedro left it into the bleachers and the game was tied. With two out and nobody on Johnny Damon worked the count and then slapped a single the other way. Then he stole two bases to get to third. Mark Teixeira was hit with a pitch. A-ROD came to the plate and lined a double to left field with 2 out to take the lead the the top of the ninth. Jorge Posada hit another base hit to score two add on runs and Mariano Rivera came in the bottom of the ninth and did his business and got the save. But who knows what would have happened if Johnny Damon didnt get his little 2-out single off of Brad Lidge(Phillies closer). The Yankees defeated the Phillies 7-4 at Citizens Bank Park and took a dominating lead 3-1 in the series.

World Series Game 3!!!

WOW what a game until the very last pitch. It seemed like both Andy Pettite and Cole Hamels both brought good stuff to the game but the hitters seemed to not care as they had quite a few home runs in this game. A-rod broke out of a 0 for 8 slump with a 2-run shot in the third inning, cutting the Philadelphia lead. Then later in the inning the pitcher for the Yankees Andy Pettite hit an RBI base hit of his own to tie the game 3-3. From there the Yankees continued to add on runs. They went on to defeat the Phillies 8-5 in Citizens Bank Park and shocked the Phillies as they take a 2-1 series lead.

World Series Game 2!!!!

Finally the Yanks pull through without losing the first two games at Yankees Stadium to Philly. A.J Burnett surprised everyone as he is known for throwing will pitches but threw none for 7 inning with only giving up a run. Pedro Martinez, long time Yankee rival threw 6 innings and gave up 3 runs. Both bullpens held there ground in this game with throwing 5 shutouts innings together. Once again it was a close pitching duel just like game 1 however the Yankees defeated the Phils 3-1 and tied the series against them 1-1.

Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

World Series 2009 Game 1

The Phillies took game 1 in the world series of 2009 against the Yankees best pitcher on the mound C.C Sabathia. Cliff Lee(Phillies Ace) took a shutout into the 9th inning, Unfortunately due to a misplay by Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins, he gave up an unearned run. The Phillies added 2 runs in the top of inning number 8 and 9 and completely dominated the Yankees in a heartbreaking game number 1. The Phillies now lead this series 1-0.

Micheal Jackson:King Of Pop

I am very sorry to hear of the death of Micheal Jackson. I think that he was really the King Of Pop. Many people like Chris Brown and Prince try to use his dance moves it seems like. However, to me, noone will ever be like MJ. His music will forever live with me.

I thought the video was actually interesting. I say this because it was his last moments of life. Also people said that he was a very sad man. When i saw "This Is It" it really showed me that you cant always believe what the media says.

Mathematics

Math is by far my favorite subject because it is complex for many other people but i understand because of my logical reasoning skills and i love to have it. Another great part of it is that it is science, and the study of quantity, space, structure and change. The word "mathematics" comes from the Greek máthēma.

Best Basketball playa

This is Carmelo Anthony, the dude that shoots 3s like a breeze and dunks on the rest of the little dudes. Carmelo played with the Denver Nuggets and last year he averaged 22.8 points every game. This is outstanding knowing that he will only get better currently at the age of 25. He was born in Brooklyn, New York then moved to Baltimore early in his life. His father was Puerto Rican and his mother was African American. He went to Syracuse College then he was drafted by the Denver Nuggets in the first round. In 2003(Rookie Season) he was the first player since 1989 to lead his team in scoring during his rookie year. Carmelo Anthony has achieved many accolades for his success. He is a three-time ALL-NBA selection, 2-time all-star, NBA All rookies team and many more. . .
