How do ice ages look like?
When i think about ice ages i picture in my mind a place filled with snow and ice, very cold of course and a lot of sickness going around. As i said in my last post. There will be lots of ice sheets. In my point of view there is a lot of famine going around. Not enough food being produced. It is in the negatives so it is dangerous being outside for too long for the fear of frostbite. In the reading on this site, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_age. Ice ages last for a long period of time.

Ice ages are also known as glacial ages, is a perod of long term reduction in the temperature of the earths surface and atmosphere resulting in expansion of continental ice sheets, polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. Glaciers are natural. Within a long-term ice age, individual pulses of extra cold climate are termed glaciations.

Judaism
I am now starting to blog on a new topic which is the Jewish religion.
FOUNDER: (Bottom)
Well, to start with the founder of Judaism is named Abraham. Other people think the founder was Yahweh b
ut the original religion itself was started by the covenant between God and
Abraham.
FOLLOWERS AND LOCATION:
In the whole world today there are about 12 to 14 million known Jews. Judaism is believed to be practiced everywhere in the world. Most of the countries you will find some Jewish people. Another fact, Jews take up 1 to 2 percent of the world population so they must be spread around.
HOLY BOOKS/TEXTS: (Torah can be viewed to the left)
There are three sections of their Hebrew Bible. The first is called the Torah (teachings). Then comes Nevi'i
m (Prophets), and last but not least comes Ketuvim (writtings).
RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS:
Hanukkah is what I'm going to talk about. Hanukkah is eight nights, starting on the 26th day of Kislev according t the Hebrew calendar, and may occur from late November to late December on the Gregorian calendar.
RITUALS AND CUSTOMS:
Jewish people have a custom that when a child is born, the infants father is called over at the synagogue to recite the Aliyah and ask blessings for the health of that child's mother and the child itself.
JEWISH DRESS CODE:
Men usually wear slacks and long-sleeved shirts and a kippah. They might wear a jacket over their long-sleeved shirts or they might wear a bigger hat over their kippah. Now women have to have their collar bones, elbows, legs and knees covered. If they are married they also have to cover their hair.
HIERARCHY:
Jewish people don't happen to have a real hierarchy.

What is being determined?
If you are determined it's really that your are about to do anything to complete a certain goal you are going for. To fight for something without giving up until you reach your limit. If I say I am determined to beat my opponent on a wrestling match I am not about to give you until I reach my last bit of energy or until I pin him down or the end of the match. It's about having heart, believing in yourself that you can do anything but you have to fight for it. I am not connecting this towards playing video games just to let you all know.

Video game addictions.
A lot of people get so addicted to video games that they make wrong choices that will effect them longer in their future. Not to point anyone out, i had a friend from Florida, one time he told me that someone in his class dropped out of school to play Call of Duty for Xbox. In my opinion, it was a pretty dumb choice. He wont get the right education for the future, he will be having a very hard life. People should really be more careful about how they deal with video games.

FPS Game
As a part of team 3, I am excited to be blogging this year on the topic of co-existence.
I love playing video games, specially army based games. One of my favorites would be Call of Duty 4, its a first person shooter game which is what i like.
In the game there's a story mode, very exciting. Its all Army/Marine based.
