This website was incredible. It went through step by step to help me plan out my novel. It went through summarizing and character charts. It even said to take the one paragraph summary and turn it into a four page summary/description of the novel. It was one of the best websites that I have ever used.

This is a video turning a camper into a utility trailer with im planing on doing this summer.

I used this article because I was looking for some inspiration to write a play. Turns out, this website was the just the thing I needed. The random generators are really helpful when you can't think of something interesting for a character you are writing about. There are plot, character, title, and name generator included in this website. I used these generators to come up with character names and even some different interesting things about my characters. They are super helpful when you are stuck or your story needs a lift! This is very different from other sources I have use because it is not an article, but a generator. I would highly recommend this source!

This is a tutorial on how to make a ring out of a quarter.

The Iranian government briefly lifted their blocks of social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook on Tuesday of this week - only to put them back the following day. These Iranian blocks of websites came about after the 2009 riots that were the direct result of social networking sites. - These types of social networking sites promote so much networking, knowledge and idea sharing and communication that they must be accessed by those with the technology - not blocked by a fearful government.

Do you agree with Reza that the Iran government may have turned off the block to catch more people using these prohibited sites? Why would a government like Iran want to limit this access? How does this reinforce the importance of the basic American First Amendment right to a free press?

This site displays the planets orbiting the sun in realistic sizes and orbits. It also shows the stars and constellations, and how they change over time. This site is supposed to get people to realize the actual proportions of the solar system, because many people have an inaccurate picture of it in their mind. I would recommend this site because it is so clear about all its information, is educational, and looks cool. This site really made me understand both the solar system and the stars.

Personally, I am not specifically looking for a career as a muralist, but for anyone that is, this site is great for helping you know what it's like and where to start. This site has a definition of mural and what a muralist does. Other types of careers are listed to the side because this site is not just focused on murals. Something else that is included on this site is the average salary that a muralist makes in a year. besides the subject of a career, the site did not have many other articles or information about murals or advice on how to make them. There were not many specifics in this article either. This website was not the best if you are looking how to make a mural, but it does give some of the supplies that are needed to do it, otherwise, I would not say this site is one of my favorite or relevant for me.

This website gives an intricate background and play by play of the Scopes trial a.k.a. The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes. The trial pitted the theory of evolution against Christian creation, and challenged Tennessee's anti evolution statute. Renown attorney Clarence Darrow defended John Scopes, and three time presidential candidate William Jennings Bryant represented the state of Tennessee. Scopes taught Darwin's theory of evolution to students in a Tennessee classroom while acting as a substitute. The case was a clash between Traditionalists and Modernists, and determined a lot about the progression of society in the face of evolution and religion. The debate is still one that is prevalent today and this site gives good history of one of the key turning points in the ongoing discussion.
