What do these words mean? They simply mean confusing the brain to think that something is there but that thing actually isn't, sort of like a mirage. The reason why I am bringing up this topic is because a neighboring blog, Torc's Citron GT Concept, has the "Worlds Hardest Game". I think that it is actually psychological because in actual fact the game isn't that hard. It is as hard as any other game that you may encounter. Except it has one thing that makes sure you don't complete it. The game says that it is way too hard and should not even be attempted. That triggers in your brain a thought that you don't recognize. That thought actually prevents you from thinking that it is an easy game and thus the reason why people may never be able to complete it. I may be wrong but that is my sentiment. You are more than welcome to share your thoughts on any subject (that is appropriate for multiple age groups) and I will be ready and willing to have a discussion about it.
My Ferret Alfie
Welcome to AEC economy watch and fresh topics. I have a story to tell about one of my pets, Alfie (the ferret). In this story I will tell you about my pet and how it was bad not to take care of him.
I had purchased Alfie when I found him being sold on the Internet. He was a kind but rough animal. I watched over him mostly until I got Duke, that's when I hardly ever looked over him. Although I did give him fresh food and water when he needed it, but I didn't take him for many walks. Winter soon came and I was worried that he would not survive the winter because of the cold. So I put an ad on the Internet that was soon seen by a new owner for Alfie. I felt terrible that he had to go, but I couldn't take care of him well enough.
This story is a lesson to all, never neglect your pet. If you did neglect your pet, don't worry to much, everyone makes mistakes. Just try to find a new home for your pet, so another owner can care and love it.

Morse Code:
Sorry about the slow posts. Here is some morse code for you to look at. This code can be very useful. I myself am learning this code. Feel free to test me on morse code any time. =)
How to write a story:
Do you need to write a story or an article? If you do this post will be of help. There are 3 points you must know:
Do you have a sun burn? I know some good ways to get rid and prevent sun burns. First, ways to prevent sun burn. I know what you are all thinking.Sunscreen. Never! You must never put on sunscreen again. Sun screen soaks into your skin and causes cancer. It won't cause cancer right away, you have to lather it on all the time, for years. Now, instead of sunscreen you can wear long clothing, or just cover your body by wearing hats and light long sleeves and pants. Trust me, I've been doing it for all the years I went to florida and it gets sunny down there! Now to heal or get rid of your sun burn is quite easy and painless. You can get this from the plant or from a store that sells this. Aloe Vera Gel. It has to be pure gel, some drug stores sell aloe gel but it has all the chemicals that you don't want on your skin. Try it. One more thing, always wear sun glasses. The sun can really harm your eyes.
Ah, summer. A wonderful time. A time when the flowers bloom and the birds chirp. Well, summer may look as peaceful and as innocent as I wrote it. In actual fact, summer can be hazardous. How? Well, the heat from the sun can cause cancer, heat stroke, sun burns and could even make you blind if you are not careful. How could the sun cause cancer? If you enjoy the sun you may go outside and put on sun glasses and read a book. But while you are reading that book, the sun is burning your skin. Your skin turns red. A lot of people make tis mistake. They think that since we are in Canada the sun won't hurt. That is wrong. A lot of people these days are getting cancer from making that same mistake all the time and not dressing properly. If you look at my previous blog 'Have a sun burn?' It will tell you how you can get rid of your sun burn and prevent one. Heat stroke. This happens when you don't drink enough water during the day. I got heat stroke once. I couldn't even keep my eyes open I was so dehidrated. I was in Florida and I had a lot of misquido bites and a little sun burn on my arms and legs. I didn't drink enogh water and the poisen in the bites made me weary So I would sleep most of the time. You can prevent this from happening by drinking at least 2 L of water a day and wearing light weight long sleeves and pants and always wearing a hat. How could the sun make you blind? It's quite obvious, if you don't wear sun glasses that are not UV Ray protected or not wear them at all the sun could blind you with it's brightness. If you have any comments or questions, please comment. If you do not know how, take a look at my blog 'Commenting.' ☀

The Wii: Does it actually give you the exercise you need? (Written By Jello-Vera)
Wii
The Wii can imitate actions and vibrations the same way a real game of tennis can, but is the Wii really a good game system to have?
My mom wants to know whether or not the Wii can give you the exercise you need. First, what can a Wii do? A Wii enables you to do actions involved in a game. For example, when you play baseball, you use the controller as a bat and you try to hit the ball as if you were actually playing baseball. The Wii is not like the X-Box, the X-Box doesn’t make you stand up and move around. The controllers that the X-Box uses, makes you use as little energy as possible when playing games because it only makes you use your thumbs. The Wii, however, makes you move around and stand up. The Wii can count as a little bit of exercise because it makes you use more than your thumbs to play.
Ehow.com took a survey that showed the X-box and the PS 3(Play Station 3) only raised the player’s heart rate by 20%; whereas, the Wii raised the heart rate up to 75%-100%. That showed that using an X-Box or a PS 3 only increased the player’s heart rate a small amount, but the Wii reached up to a 100% increase. A person used a heart rate monitor and tested his heart rate before and after playing Wii Sports. Before he started to play his heart rate was 76 BPM. After 35 minutes of playing Wii sports his heart reached a rate of 158 BPM and he burned 491 calories. He reached the point where the Wii counted as exercise. The Wii can get your heart rate higher than an X-Box or a PS 3, which makes the Wii is a better source of exercise.
Playing Time: 35 minutes
Activities: Batting practice, Tennis, boxing practice
Target Heart Rate: 122 – 150 BPM
Target Heart Rate: 122 – 150 BPM
Heart Rate
Pre-Wii: 76 BPM
Average: 126 BPM
Highest: 158 BPM
Pre-Wii: 76 BPM
Average: 126 BPM
Highest: 158 BPM
Total Time in “The Zone”: 19:54 Calories Burned: 491
Finally, the Wii is a good source of exercise for the whole family using the large variety of games that Wii has to offer.
Statistics from: http://brianhewitt.wordpress.com/2007/11The Bengal Tiger
Today I will show my research on The Bengal Tiger.
A bengal tiger is one of my most favourite animals in the zoo. They can be viscous. They eat any type of meat they can catch. They live in India and are losing their home from pollution and deforestation. Their numbers have been greatly reduced by hunting. Bengal tigers are the largest cats in the cat family. These tigers are actually afraid of humans, some do eat humans, those tigers are either sick or don't have sufficient prey in their area. These animals are extraordinary and deserve to live, people kill these creatures for their elaborate fur and meat. This type of cat will not be able to live much longer if their habitats and foods are being destroyed.
The Cat Family:
You all know that I really like cats. I have already done a post on Bengal Tigers, I will list and post pictures of different breeds ofwildcats. There are many more different cat species. I have only shown a percent of different wild cats.

How to Make a Vinaigrette Salad

Save Your Pineapple Top
Today I will talk about a very fun way to get rid of your pineapple top. I Read about this in an english book. Here is how you do it:
- First, cut off the crown of the pineapple. The sharp leaves at the top.
- Second, make sure the roots of the crown can be seen.They would look like white dots or bulbs.
- Then you take a medium sized pot and fill it with topsoil. Put the crown in the topsoil. Make sure the leaves are showing.
- Next, put it outside only if it is hot, if not put it in the sun in the house. It must always be warm.
- There is a chance you may not grow a pineapple because of the tempurature. If you do grow one, it may not be very big like the ones from the store.
- Make sure you water it every once in a while. Not too much or you may drown the plant. Keep an eye on the plant and if you have trouble with the plant, comment and I will see what I can do. Below is what your pineapple top can look like. ♥
Have fun and try new things. If you have suggestions on topics or if you have a story or anything, put it in the comments section. If you have something you wrote, I will post it if you want. ☺

Movie Review: Tron Legacy
Hello movie lovers, in addition to this blog I will be posting simple movie reviews for the latest films. Today I will start with Tron. It has been out for a while now, but if you read this you can consider buying the movie.
Tron
L E G A C Y
I have watched Tron Legacy with the prior knowledge of Tron the original movie. Tron Legacy is about Flynn's son entering the grid while looking for his father. When he gets onto the grid he learns about the vast games that he has to complete and what danger is involved with finding his father. This action filled movie has a good story line and is great for movie nights. Tron Legacy isn't a direct continuation with Tron (the original motion picture).
As for the animation features, it is a must-see. The animation looks so real on a 3D screen, I highly recommend seeing this movie on a 3D screen. If your looking for an action filled, 3D motion picture for the family, I highly recommend this movie for all(ages 12+).
