Soldier crabs

Soldier crabs are basically what there name is. They, unlike other crabs, can move:





                                                                                           

                                       


                             All four ways.    



                              

                                                                                                                                       





                                                      <--Not just sideways.-->




                                   This little warrior may be shy to us, but not seagulls!





          They usually come out by the hundreds during night and early morning, at spring and fall,              they burrow holes to live in for the up coming seasons. More than half the colony does it. 
          The rest? If a seagull comes, those claws come into some action. Before the seagull can
          snatch one working, a watching one pinched it on the leg. These are my favorite crabs.

Social networking and blogs

Hello, I'm going to talk about a book called 'social networking and blogs'  It does not have much information. I do not want you to read it.  A thing I did learn is that some blogs (not me of course) block people by color of skin,gender, even eye-color!

Prosit!

Prosit is the best resturant in the world!!!! We went after the German festival. And the outside tables are BEAUTIFUL.  We sat outside because we didn't have reservations.


PROSIT: Good health!
Here's the homepage: http://prositrestaurant.com/
I give them a 5 star review.  * * * * *
I ate From Russia With Love. It was a small potato pancake with two types of smoked fish, egg, sour cream, beets, and caper berries.
MMH,MMH. Good food. 
It tasted great because of the trout, the trout blended the flavors. It was assorted well, too.
I wonder if they would go to nickel city chef?


A Trip to the ROM ,April 6 2012 AD

A Trip to the ROM ,April 6 2012 AD
I went to the ROM on April 6, and this is what I learned:
Maya civilization http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_civilization

There is a pot that your SUPPOSED to blow in! To make chocolate, the Mayans blow in a hole in the pot to bubble it up.
The Mayan era is thousands of years. The era we are in ends 12\22\12
And you don't want to know what they did to their teeth & ears !
They used intense burners for religious ceremonies.
So the Maya civilization is interesting, isn't it?
12\22\12 is not the end of the world, its the start of a party! (I don't believe the people who say "Its the end of the world! ". )

First Nations
The Inuit are an Indian group who live on ice!
They ate their food raw! They would fish with just strings. They had to make houses out of ice. They ate seal too!
I watched Nanook Of The North. Here's part 1:





It's about a life on the ice. I don't like people who like sushi but not raw fish,because its the same!! It was a struggle to survive.
A picture:



Here's information:

This page is a really great quick shot if you want a little info about the Inuit/Eskimo.
windows2universe.org/earth/polar/inuit_culture.html
You can see, and buy art by Eskimo/Inuits.
http://www.arcticinuksuk.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4&Itemid=4
I like this page because it shows most of the life of the Eskimo/Inuit. It's very detailed and has information from pre historic times, which is what I am now studying in history class, to now.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuit
This is a lot of information.
