How much do you love your Ipod?

Who doesn't love their Ipod?  I'm sure all of you who own one, use it all the time.  Now, how much do you love your Ipod?  Do you love it enough to have it surgically implanted onto you?  Yes, a guy has actually surgically implanted his Ipod onto himself.  So for those you who love your Ipod as much as him, you can watch a video on how he did so you can do it too!

Implant your Ipod 

*WARNING*  There will be blood so you if you do NOT like blood please do not watch the video!

rash

 
RASH 
DEFINITION
adjective
: marked by or proceeding from undue haste or lack of deliberation or caution 
EXAMPLES
He often doesn't think before he speaks, and this is not the first time he has had to apologize for his rash comments.

"Many colleges have yet to send out their final acceptances. So before making a rash decision, sit tight and wait to hear back from all your colleges." — From an article by Purvi S. Mody in the San Jose Mercury News (California), March 19, 2012 

DID YOU KNOW?
The earliest known uses of "rash" (then spelled "rasch") occur in a northern dialect of 15th-century Middle English. Its earlier origins are not known for sure, though it is clearly related to a number of similar words in the Germanic languages, including Old High German "rasc" ("fast, hurried, strong, clever"), Old Norse "röskr" ("brave, vigorous"), and Middle Dutch "rasch" ("quick, nimble, agile, vigorous"). It is not, however, related to the English noun "rash" ("an eruption on the body," as in a "skin rash"). The noun "rash," which first appeared in English in the 1700s, comes by way of French and Vulgar Latin from Latin "rasus," the past participle of "radere" ("to scrape" or "to shave").

FRUIT

The craft for playschool last time was a giant fruit basket.
Have a look, isn't it AWESOME?
Each kid picked a couple of fruits and colored them in.
Then we cut them out and stuck them on the basket poster.

What's the problem?


This was written on a sign in front of a dry cleaners.

"We do not tear your clothing with machinery.
 We do it carefully by hand."

Can anyone tell me what the problem is? 
 

The Cell Phone Race

I know a lot of you have smart phones and a majority of the smart phones users at our school have iPhones.  Do most of you use Siri?  If you have an iPhone 4S and don't know what Siri is, you should definitely give it a try.  Go to http://www.apple.com/jp/iphone/features/siri.html and you can see what Siri is like. 

But, enough about the iPhone.  Samsung is going to come out with a new phone this summer, the Galaxy S III, which might blow away the iPhone and make it the #1 phone in the market.  Of course there is voice commands like Siri, but it has many other interesting features such as keeping the display bright while you are looking at the phone, doing 2 things at once like watching a video and messaging, sharing photos, music, and much more just by placing the backs of your phone together.  These are just a few of the many cool functions on this phone.  You can check out http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxys3/feature.html for more information.  I might actually be interested in the phone when it comes out. 



But, of course there is the iPhone 5 coming out this year as well, so it will be interesting to see if the new iPhone will have similar functions as this phone.
