Eclispe-Move Review

Bella SwanImage via Wikipedia
To break down the movie Eclipse into a sentence:
A movie filled with 2 hours of nothing, and with a 15 minute battle scene. The movie was basically 2 hours and 15 minutes of Edward and Jacob fighting over the oh-so-dull and boring Bella.
Even the vampires and were wolfs betray an ancient boundary to you-guessed-it protect the wonderful Bella. In Breaking Dawn we are going to discover that she is the great Lunar Maiden sent to save humanity. If you look at it from a different perspective, Edward is a crazed psychopath-who is over protective of his "Bella" daring. 
I have the admit the special effects were good enough, It is annoying to see that its all about Bella, everyone loves her, they even decided to send an army to kill her!  Some parts were NOT realistic-even for a twilight movie, You know because 5 vampires can kill 50 vampires in a matter of seconds. In the movie it has your overdose of two teens kissing and talking to each other about their emotions. 

And Don't get me started about the acting! The acting was as scary as Robert Patterson is. (Scary) You would think they picked up the kids off the street. 
There is also the storyline, The rock hard skin of the vampires becomes breakable glass, it seems that it is a quicker process to make vampires, you don't have to burn them anymore!
Bella's Slaves+Over controlling boyfriend+Bad acting+The girl who seems to be some sort of god+Crazy Redhead+big round black circle=Eclipse
Won't Bella just die already?

The Planets Only Immortal Animal


While checking my mail on Yahoo! I came across this article and thought it would interesting to share!

The planet's only immortal animal is spreading fast

Yahoo! Canada News


A species of jellyfish has evolved the potential for immortality - and they're starting to spread.

The species turritopsis nutricula is able to transform itself from its mature state back into a polyp (immature jellyfish) and then back again - picture a gelatinous 'Benjamin Button' on repeat.

The species, which is only 4-5 mm in diameter, performs this miraculous feat using a process known as transdifferentiation, in which one type of cell transforms into another. While this sounds a lot like what happens in stem cells, the process is distinct.

Turritopsis nutricula isn't the only species to use the technique; salamanders use the process to regrow limbs, while chickens utilize it to repair damaged eyes. Turritopsis nutricula, however, is the only species able to regenerate its entire body.

The entire transformation from adult to polyp takes place very rapidly, helping to explain why it has never been observed in the wild. The process, however, has been observed in the lab, and so far 100 per cent of specimens have been capable of the transformation.

Theoretically, the process can go on indefinitely, which may help to explain why scientists have noticed a spike in the number of these jellyfish in the oceans. "We are looking at a worldwide silent invasion," said Dr Maria Miglietta of the Smithsonian Tropical Marine Institute.

The jellyfish are believed to have originated in the Caribbean, but, due to the common shipping practice of emptying ballast water in foreign ports, is now found all over the globe.

While the jellyfish can potentially live forever, it's unlikely that one ever will.

That's because like other jellyfish, Turritopsis nutricula is often eaten by other animals and readily succumbs to disease.

Other larger long-lived species have a better chance at reaching impressive ages. Bowhead whales, tortoises and koi fish can all live to be more than 200 years old. Plant species can live even longer. The oldest known bristlecone pine is nearly 5,000 years old.

That isn't stopping scientists around the globe from searching for the secret that allows this unique jellyfish from reversing the aging process. Mastering transdifferentiation could be the key to discovering a real fountain of youth.

So, they have discovered an animal that has the capability to live forever. Sorry Vampire Lovers, this ability will not be transferred to humans, and the jelly fish CAN live forever but probably won't because there is disease and other animals that like to eat it. Who knows there could be humans eating it hoping to get the Transdifferentiation ability.

Laughter is the Best Medicine



Laughter is strong medicine for mind and body

“Your sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you have to make certain that your daily mood and emotional state support good health.”

~ Paul E. McGhee, Ph.D.

Laughter is a powerful antidote to stress, pain, and conflict. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hopes, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert.

With so much power to heal and renew, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is a tremendous resource for surmounting problems, enhancing your relationships, and supporting both physical and emotional health.

Laughter is good for your health

  • Laughter relaxes the whole body. A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.
  • Laughter boosts the immune system. Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease.
  • Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.
  • Laughter protects the heart. Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.
  • Go to Help Guide to see more ways Laughter can help you.

So these are just SOME of the ways laughter can help you. You can follow the Help Guide link above to see some more!
Since Laughter is the best medicine. I seem to love short comics....Here is some on different topics:

Twilight

Super Heroes
Techology. You'll understand the one above if you know about the Apple app rebate.

Here, There, Vampire Everywhere



You may have noticed that in the last couple of months, that there is a new craze. You can tell by the movies, books, shirts, shows. The New craze is Vampires.
Vampires went from Scary Blood Sucking creatures lurking in the night: To super powered, attractive, teen vampires. You may notice that in the shows and movies, The Vampires are always the "Boyfriend" of a girl, none of them are fat, ugly, or scary for that matter.

The Craze all started with Twilight. Twilight leaded to many other vampire books and shows.

Apparently the Vampire Craze started long ago. But it really took off with Twilight. When the whole "Sexy" Vampire came in.
10 year old girls were running around looking for "Vampire Boyfriends"
But, with all the books it seems the story is always the same:

1. Girl finds out Boy friend is vampire and has powers
2. They fall in love Vampire loves girl more than anything
3. Girl becomes vampire and they live happily ever after immortal.

Its here, There vampires everywhere.
Here is what some people say about the Vampire Craze:


While I was sitting in the park today with a friend of mine talking about our views on dating and somehow our conversation got on the new Twilight/Vampire craze that's been going on.

She said that a lot of teenagers have become obsessed with the books. Over time this has translated to their dating lives, causing them to have fetishes about vampires. This has caused some teens to start biting each other on the neck during make-out sessions, drawing blood. Once the parents see the marks they have taken their teens to the emergency room or doctors office and the teens have had to receive vaccinations in response to the marks.

Meh. I blame society for sanitizing all the old stories. In an effort to make the world a "better" place by striping the fairy tale monsters of all their murderous aspect we have simply created a world of false safety. In the original Red Riding Hood there is no woodsman. She dies. End of story. Mermaids were murderous cannibals who enslaved the souls of drowned sailors. And of course, vampires have gone from being creatures that lurked around the battlefield and indulged in the gore and viscera (like the Keres of ancient Greece) to poor misunderstood tortured souls that simply want to please and protect a teenage girl. Kind of inevitable for such creatures to be put on pedestals.

Do you think the craze will end? Do you have any stories? What do you think of the craze?
