Blog Transformation and The X Factor.

I have gotten use to blogger and played around with a few stuff (Not Telling anyone my secret! I got help though). Now, I have changed my blog and the theme around. Tell me if it's good or not.

Also, The X Factor had stated that since the baseball games have finished, it would now be on Wednesday, not thursday and sunday! I hope it's true but keep an eye open for it. The bad part about this, it's that it's halloween night! NOOOOO!!!! I'll miss the first live show :(.

WE DAY!

We Day Alberta was just amazing yesterday!
There were so many speakers and performers. Bands and Singers like Shawn Desman, Hedley, Lights, Marianas Trench and more! Speakers such as Molly Burke, Spencer West, LARRY KING!!!! and others!

The Cat Patterns of Life (Inquiry Project)

The Cat Patterns of Life

Have you ever wondered why some cats have patterned coats? How cats varies in all fur patterns?

The cheetah has a coat especially covered in circle blotches, while tabby cats have very big stripes. Why do they have it? It’s because of a particular gene that these cats share that makes blotches and stripes on cats. This gene can also cause mutations to these patterns in the future stages. The cheetah might have blotch stripes and the tabby might change its pattern to blotch spots. This particular gene that causes all of this is called the Taqpep Gene.

Canada's Northern Gateway Pipeline (School Work)

Recently we have been studying the Northern Gateway Pipeline that will be going through Alberta, B.C. and the ocean all the way to China. It will deliver oil through the pipeline and immigrate westwards. The Northern Gateway Pipeline is being managed by Enbridge which is an oil company. The problem is that many people don't trust the Enbridge because of recent oil spills in the past decade. Many people want to promote this Pipeline into action, but many others have concerns.

After reading several articles and seeing videos for and against the project, I believe that the project shouldn't be continued. Think of what would happen if the pipeline broke anytime in the ocean.

The X Factor (USA): Judges House

I believe I know at least a couple of people who made it through to the Judges' houses! Based on a news articles and the newest promo of The X Factor.
Although the News article came out even before Season 2 started, it was posted talking about the contestants. Most of this publisher's predictions were correct for who got through to the Judges' houses.

If you look at the commercial closely, zooming either in or out, you can recognize some of the contestants.

Britney: Ages 12 - 16

The X Factor

The X Factor
The competition heats up when singers duet against another singer. I love the duet between Beatrice Miller and Carly Rose Sonenclar. (Pumped Up Kicks)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcdzfnUch-I

Some singers duet were amazing, while others failed to impress the judges. Forgetting words, at least a quarter of the 60 contestants left forgot the lyrics.
Meanwhile, Paige Thomas was against her main rival Cece Frey, when yesterday they both sang their own rendition of I Will Always Love You, Whitney Houston. (Video Coming Soon)

Diamond White is charging through this Bootcamp, surprising everyone with her fantastic performances. For her first Bootcamp task, she was first up and set the bar high with I Have Nothing, Whitney Houston.

For task 2, she faces Dinah Jane Hansen, with their rendition of What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger), Kelly Clarkson

Half Brother By Kenneth Oppel (School Assignment)

Although I have talked about the book before, but this is for a school assignment.

Is it even possible to have a monkey as a brother? Brown-furry creatures, they would terrorize our homes!

Half Brother is a very melodious book written by Canadian author, Kenneth Oppel.  Oppel writes about the atypical life of Ben Tomlin. His new brother Zan is a monkey. No, I didn’t say he acts like one, he IS one. Ben’s mom and dad brought the chimp home to see if Zan, the monkey, can learn human sign language and the human life.
