Very very late

I haven't blogged for, 6 days, and I just realized that. So I've decided to, you know, blog.

So I decided to once again look at someone else's blog. This time I looked at Danielle's post for Sep 18, 2007. She said that she had found a website for pesticides and their effects on the human body, so I checked it out (
http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/environment/RATE/pestfact.html). After looking and reading the website I guess I learned a little. It wasn't exactly shocking, but its interesting. What kind of harms come from pesticides, what pesticides do, which type of people pesticides attack and other information. I mean, pesticides can actually give you cancer. Thats real bad. But I guess its only normal. Pesticides are deadly to insects after all, so aren't they going to have to be at least mildly toxic to everything?

On a different topic, well, different part of this topic.
I've completed the 1.5 draft of our script. Why 1.5? I'm going to run it past 2 people then myself once again before I can say 2, so its 1.5 right now. And finally I've edited the flash some so it looks more gloomy and less happy. Also I took the scene transaction that looked like an explosion out.

Other people's blogs

For no reason linked to an assignment or deadline, I decided to look at other people's blogs to see where their research has taken them.

The first person's blog I looked at was Adrian's blog at http://othersidepage.blogspot.com. Then I looked at the post for Sep 20, 2007. When I read the article Adrian was talking about (http://www.hfa.org/factory/index.html) it made me feel sorry for the family businesses that were being tossed aside by the bigger companies. Of course nothing can be done about this and nobody can stop this, but at least some people know about it.

Then I headed over to Coco's Blog at http://coletteconover.blogspot.com.And looked at the post for Sep 23, 2007. When I read her post I had to agree that if a pesticide is dragged into the water supply of humans, then it will be hard to get out, but also shouldn't our water filters be able to get the chemicals out of the water? Also what happens to fish that live in the water? Coco's post made me think about these things.

AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand.. I got an interview set up at my house at 4:00pm on this coming Wednesday. Oh boy. :O

Whadaya know, another site

I've gotta stop saying that...

And for the site.

http://multinationalmonitor.org/hyper/issues/1988/10/mm1088_06.html

This site talks about how its all nice and happy up here in the U.S., but in Mexico, it a lot rougher in the pesticide business. Its anything goes, no harmful chemicals are illegal down there in Mexico. This means that companies can, 1) Make pesticides that are harmful towards the environment and 2) Make pesticides that will wind up on the plates of the Mexicans and possible poison them. Both of these are bad things. Along with that, the government is so corrupt that they don't mind as long as the companies who make pesticides keep paying them. Another bad point is that there are tons of pesticides, and the farmers don't care that much, so they could end up picking the worst of the lot. Bad news indeed, but a good source.

On a similar but slightly to the left and down note, I finished the script on time. :D

(Post for Wednesday) Whadaya know, script

Yes, in fact, did work on the script. Also I found another website that was small, but was helpful.

http://www.livingwithbugs.com/organic.html

What I found interesting about this website was that it said that synthetic pesticides will keep growing and becoming more effective than natural pesticides. And after thinking about this, I concluded that the author was probably right, which is why I list his website.

What do you know, script

Almost done with the rough draft now. And yes, I did work on the script.

(Post for Monday) Website

http://find.galegroup.com/srcx/retrieve.do?subjectParam=Locale%2528en%252C%252C%2529%253AFQE%253D%2528su%252CNone%252C18%2529Natural%2Bpesticides%2524&contentSet=GSRC&sort=Relevance&tabID=T001&sgCurrentPosition=0&subjectAction=DISPLAY_SUBJECTS&prodId=SRC-1&searchId=R1&currentPosition=1&userGroupName=sand07018&resultListType=RESULT_LIST&sgHitCountType=None&qrySerId=Locale%28en%2C%2C%29%3AFQE%3D%28SU%2CNone%2C18%29Natural+pesticides%24&inPS=true&searchType=BasicSearchForm&displaySubject=&docId=EJ2121000066&docType=GSRC

Talks about what a pesticide is, what they do and how they are used and also what effects we can get from them. It talks about Synthetic vs. Natural and other useful topics that can and will be helpful to our group.

It also has an experiment that can be done, but it takes quite a while, so we probably will not do it.

Once again, the script

I've kept working on the script. Jotting down ideas and such.
