I'm learning more about dreams right now and in particular what I'm wondering about is why do we have nightmares. I was researching this question online and this blog post caught my attention because this blog has all the answers to my question. "Stress is another factor, which triggers nightmares. When a person is in extreme stress, he/she may get nightmares. In scientific terms, it is a way to release all the stress." The quote I chose here is basically saying that stress is one cause to having nightmares. And when you have the nightmare, its a way to get rid of all the stress you have. I think thats true because I remember me having a couple of nightmares before and what I was dreaming about was about what I was stressing about. I was very stressed about the SAT and I was dreaming about the SAT. It wasnt such a good dream.

Dear Ana I like you post. Nighmares are really wired. But it's so true when you said that "when a person is in extreme stress, he/she may get nightmares. In scientific terms, it is a way to release all the stress. " I agree with you and your quote that stressing is what cause you nighmares. Nice Post!

I'm learning more about healthy food right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is what are the best food in the airplane? I was researching this question online, and this news article caught my attention because it was a survey about rating foods for eight airlines. "The survey assigned a "Health Score" based on snack and on-board food service offerings, airline cooperation, comments, ratings, cost, calories, and exercise equivalents. " The quote I chose here is basically saying that by reading over the survey, we know that which airline has the best food in the airplane.

""Archery really is 95 percent mental and 5 percent physical, so when you're at a tournament, not only should you be focused, but you should be calm," said team member Vickie Phan. Tournaments force individuals to focus on their own shots, and block out that of their competition. "It's a head game," team member Tiffany Hsu added. "Some of the archers from other schools, they will try and get in your head.""

I am learning more about healthy food right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is what are healthy fruits for people? I was researching this question online,and this blog post caught my attention because it's about different types of veg and fruits can effect your looking. "Scientists at St Andrews University in Scotland discovered that Caucasian men and women both preferred the 'rosy' look created by eating plenty of fruit and veg." The quote I chose here is basically saying both men and women can have healthy looking if they eat lots of fruits and vegetables.

I'm currently being and feeling alone and by yourself in the world and somewhere new. My question is What will it be like to be on my own? i was researching this question online and this poem popped up which is a poem by Edgar Allen Poe entitled alone " Alone User Rating: 9.1 /10 (365 votes) 0 Print friendly version 0 E-mail this poem to e friend 0 Send this poem as eCard 0 Add this poem to MyPoemList From childhood's hour I have not been As others were; I have not seen As others saw; I could not bring My passions from a common spring. From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I loved, I loved alone. Then- in my childhood, in the dawn Of a most stormy life- was drawn From every depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain, From the sun that round me rolled In its autumn tint of gold, From the lightning in the sky As it passed me flying by, From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that took the form (When the rest of Heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view.

"Turkey is blamed for soporific effect, specifically the amount of L-tryptophan contained in turkey. It's an essential amino acid and is a precursor of serotonin."

"Maintaining regular sleep habits and a quiet sleep environment may prevent some sleep disorders." Maybe I should try it when I feel stress towards my days.

We relaxed ALL afternoon. Watched TV, napped, used the computer. It was so lazy and very necessary.

The Main Street Pimp I remember walking down Main Street and seeing this man. He stood out from the rest of the people I saw everyday. He would wear these interesting outfits unlike anything I had ever seen except for maybe in the movies. I found out he was known as the Main Street Pimp. When the podcaster said "Where is the Main Street Pimp?" I started to think and realized I had not seen him in a while. I wondered what had happened to him. I always enjoyed seeing him it kind of made me smile because he loved to be different from everyone else. He always looked happy. When I found out that the the Main Street Pimp had "died from a brain tumor" I was really sad. I missed seeing him walk around Main Street. He really became part of flushing and he really helped make it unique. I understand now why he did the things he did since he had schizophrenia. Although he had this condition he seemed happy and upbeat. He never seemed to care about what other people had to say about him. I would always say hello to him and he would smile. I am always happy to see people that make the best of their situation. I think although you may have issues you should not just give up or hate life. You should always live life to it's fullest. All I have left to say is rest in peace Main Street Pimp. We miss you.

What I noticed about, "Flushing Pimp" is how this man named Manuel was happy. He dressed very nice and always looked fresh. He stood out in crowded Main Street. There were people who admired him and people who ridiculed him, but no matter what, Manuel was happy. However, the Flushing Pimp has not been seen the in past year. Helen, Andrea, and Rayon try to learn more about him and search for him. They interview random people on Main Street. They told them about how unique Manuel dressed and how he stood out in the crowd. They also did not see the Flushing Pimp and wondered what ever happened to him. There were rumors that he died or went away somewhere, but Helen and her crew were determined to find out what happened. The crew went out to where Manuel used to live. They went inside the apartment building and rang the doorbell. A woman answered, however she didn't open the door fully. Her name was Caroline and she was the sister of Manuel. She talked for over an hour behind her door. When the crew asked where's Manuel, Caroline told them that he had died of cancer. Caroline said, "There were people who made fun of Manuel when he walked down the street, but he didn't care as he was just happy....He felt the need to look good." Caroline said that her brother suffered from a condition called schizophrenia. According to Google Health, "Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that makes it difficult to tell the difference between real and unreal experiences, to think logically, to have normal emotional responses, and to behave normally in social situations." Caroline's tone throughout the interviewed changed from despising her brother, to actually caring about him. She talked about how Manuel was suffering from cancer. When Manuel was in the hospital, he called Caroline to bring him home because he didn't want to feel miserable. Even though he was about to die, he lived his life to the fullest. He looked forward to what was ahead of him. It was tragic

Searching for main street's flushing pimp

I love you're Mapping Mainstreet Podcast. At first, I assumed it would be boring.. another podcast? But I had high expectations because you guys were the ones doing this project. It wasn't boring and caught my interest through out the podcast. I find it interesting that steam buns are shaped after human heads because they use it as sacrifice..I think I've lost my appetite..for now. The steam buns are great because it's cheap and although it's not healthy, it's better than a happy meal, especially when you're on the go. But it's still counted as fast food because it's when you need something on the go. Also, when I buy it, it's usually filled with like.. oil, more bread, and less meat. But it doesn't matter when you're really hungry. Yes, definitely, when food is homemade, you're in control of what is getting put inside. For example, sometimes when my mom buys food from Flushing, I'm really skeptical. I'm guarded when I eat these things.. and you don't want to hear about the incidents that occurred before... :shivers:. I love it when my mom makes homemade food. Did you know AA plaza also makes dumplings? I hate it. I sometimes find weird ingredients in it and I'm like "what the crap am I eating?!?!" But when my mom makes it, I make sure to ask her to put my favorite ingredients! I liked the pictures you took of Flushing because those are the places we see in our daily lives...I bet all of us pass that place at least once, every day. I do agree with you Alexis, on how a steam bun is like a world that connects everyone. I loved how you guys actually made steam buns. Were they edible? Teach me how to make it next time!!

I agree sometimes I find that poscasts are really boring and blah. This one was exciting and fun. I really could relate to this podcast because I too eat steamed buns fairly often.

Exactly as it says on the top.

I couldn't even imagine that the Modern Mayans are annoyed by the movie. Also, I want to know what is modern culture misinterpreting?

I guess we are so hyped up, that we forget about our present and won't fix it.

What I noticed most about, "Searching for Main Street's Flushing Pimp," was they managed to find out the reason Emanuel Milton behaved the way he did. He had schizophrenia and many health problems. He got schizophrenia after his mother's death. He believed that dressing well gained you respect so he made his appearance, his number one priority. We learned that he lived his life the way he wanted to despite his health issues. When the podcaster said, "When his mother died that trigged his schizophrenia," I was thinking how a single event can drastically change a person's entire life. I think this is interesting because I believe that Emanuel was traumatized by his mother's death and that influenced him to become the person that everybody on main street saw him as. Another part that caught my attention was: "I don't think he was a pimp, I think he just dressed like that to get attention." This stood out for me because as the podcast continued, they learned that this was actually true. According to his sister, he believed that dressing well allows you to get respect. In a way he did, from many people on Main Street, he was able to accomplish his purpose of being the way he was. Since, he was so eye-catching to everyone around him; he became famous and was titled "the pimp on Main Street," not necessarily because he was a pimp but his appearance said that. I do strongly agree that "the pimp on Main Street" brought life to the neighborhood because he caught everyone's attention by his outrageous and colorful clothing. One reason I say this is because most people in Main Street were able to recognize him. Another reason I agree is because no one else ever managed to dress in such a manner and maintain it over many years. Thank you for your podcast Helen Peng, Andrea Torres, and Rayon Wright. I'll look forward to seeing your work again because you had interesting thoughts and managed to gather a lot of information on such a vague topic

Dear Hiba, I liked "Mapping Main Street A Collaborative Documentary Media Project" because you talked about the Flushing Pimp. One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: "I do strongly agree that "the pimp on Main Street" brought life to the neighborhood because he caught everyone's attention by his outrageous and colorful clothing." because it is true. Another sentence that stood out was: "no one else ever managed to dress in such a manner and maintain it over many years" because it is also true. Your post reminds me of something that happened to me. I was waiting outside a store and I saw the Flushing Pimp. I talked with him and he seemed interesting. Thanks fro your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next because what you wrote and what I think are similar.

Dear Hiba, I like how you picked out a lot of the main points in our story. It seemed that you listened to our story very well and understood what we were trying to say. After reading a lot of others' comments to our story, I suddenly feel a longing to see the Flushing Pimp again. Like you said, he is part of our neighborhood. He was truly a character even though he had schizo. Thanks for responding to our story! Your feedback is well appreciated! -Helen :]

I am learning more about "Arachnophobia" right now, and in particular what I am wondering about is: "Why am I so scared of spiders?" I was searching online, and this new item caught my attention because it gave me goosebumps as I read the title.\n\n"Or it could be a striking example of what is known as ballooning, in which lightweight spiders throw out silk filaments to ride the air currents. Five years ago, in just that way, a mass dispersal of millions of tiny spiders covered 60 acres of clover field in British Columbia with thick webbing. "\n\nExactly! I am so scared thinking about a gush of web filled spiders flying in the air and making a domination in one area. I don't want to keep reading anymore. \n\nNow I don't know if I want to keep researching this, or maybe I can overcome my free this way.\n

I was searching up, "phobia reasons and symptoms," and this item came up. It focuses on two types of phobias, Agoraphobia and sociophobia.\n\n"Agoraphobia like social phobia, affects more women than it does men. Sufferers of agoraphobia are terrified of panic attacks occurring in public places. Common fears are crowded environments and places where one can't escape easily. Meetings, standing in a queue or elevator are common situations that spark fear."
