when using google i had to use diffrent techniques. until i found the search with the least amount of results. http://www.google.com/#q=democratic+AND+republican+%22position+on+the+fiscal+cliff%22&hl=en&tbo=d&tbs=qdr:d,sbd:1&source=lnt&sa=X&ei=uTC5UOvGEa_BiwKe5oHwBw&ved=0CB8QpwUoAQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=94050f5c4f9ff5ce&bpcl=39314241&biw=1024&bih=550.            democratic AND republican "position on the fiscal cliff" this was the search question that helped me in finding the answer.
the first techniques i used was to change up the original question. i would add words then i would take out words. also capitilize some words and lower case the other words. by doing these techniques it only made the results worse because i would end up with 170,000 results or even more. so i had to use more techniques so i added puncuation marks like question marks and quotations, but this also was no help.
my other technique was to play around with the search tool bar. this was more helpful cause i got less and less results and they had lots of information. I had to change the pop up blocker, and so the reviews can be by date.i also changed the question up and capaitslized certain words. In doing this I ended up with 8 results. 
So it did take awhile but it helped me find the answer to the question with lots of information. It was time consuming but useful. This is the website I used http://newsrt.co.uk/news/republicans-reject-white-house-fiscal-cliff-proposals-as-incomplete-1017686.html.

star wars

In star wars 3 revenge of the sith Anakin Skywalker makes many decisions. Some decisions he make were his lack of self control and trusting Palpatine. He loved his wife Pademe and was willing to do anything to save her. He also had to choose from being the Jedi or saving his wife because when you are a Jedi you are not supposed to be married. He picked some risky decisions so that lead him to becoming Darth Vader.  
            Anakin had difficulty in self control so that lead him in becoming Darth Vader. Also he didn’t know how to keep his thoughts and feelings in check. In the previous episodes Anakin had a vision of his mother’s death but he arrived too late to save his mother. He was devastated when this happened to her. So in revenge he decided to kill his mother captors. Right at that moment that’s when he went out of control and did not know how to keep his feelings in check. In knowing this we know he will have another out break. Later on Anakin had another vision of his wife Padme Amidala passing away during child birth. So he attempts save her but also fails once again. On this not it leads me to my second reason.
            Anakin married Padme Amidala in secret because the Jedi order forbidden marriage and relationships. So when he had the vision of Padme he couldn’t run to his Jedi master for guidance or help.  So he met the evil Sith Lord Palpatine, Darth Sidious, he wanted Anakin to betray the Jedi and be his evil apprentice and do his evil work. He also promised him if he helped him he would help him save his wife. So Anakin thought of his wife because she was caring his children so he went with Palpatine. In doing that Palpatine gained Anakin’s trust and had him turn against the Jedi. So he turned into a monster and this made him turn into Darth Vader.
            The point that Anakin was totally lost was when he choked Padme. Padme and his mentor Obi-Wan had know idea what he was doing but later found out that he went to Palpatine and has sided with him. Padme found where he was staying and tried to talk it out with him, but she was in shock with what he was saying. She didn’t even recognize him because he was a monster. He would promise her that they would rule the world but she dint not care for that she only wanted to be him and didn’t want him to cause harm to others. Anakin looked and saw that Obi-Wan was with her. He was furious because he thought he convinced her that he was evil. So that’s when he chokes her. Later after Obi-Wan and Anakin are done fighting Padme was rushed to the hospital and gave birth to twins but later passes away. The only thing that Anakin is wondering is if Padme is ok but finds out that she passes away. He is devastated and regrets what he did.
            In conclusion Anakin is the fallen hero because he not only caused harm to others but to himself as well. He turned into a monster and killed his wife with his own two hands. So these thoughts tormented him and caused him to suffer. He wasn’t born evil he turned evil in thought of helping his beloved wife. I also think that he didn’t have a chance of remaining a Jedi because he couldn’t go to his mentor for help when he saw the vision of is wife. He also thought in trusting in Palpatine he would save his wife but he didn’t know the out come of trusting would cause hi, to hurt his loved one.

prop 34

Prop 34 is the prop to get rid of the death penalty by them getting rid of it they will give them life in prison. They also might not get the possibility of parole. By getting rid of it will also benefit us in many ways.
            We should get rid of it because we will save money and use the money on more useful things. We can use the money on schools and education for children. Also san Quentin prison wouldn’t have so many on death row. Also by keeping them in jail that is more torture than killing them. They also won’t get parole and that helps the public and it would keep all the dangerous men and women locked up. Some parents also didn’t even have the chance to say bye to there family members and have there last meal. But the ones who go through death penalty have the chance to do all of the above. If we keep the death penalty that will cost us millions of dollars and san Quentin will be full of prisoners. On the other hand the death penalty is wrong because some of them are convicted of doing something when in reality some of them didn’t do it. Also what is killing a person going to do? Let’s say some one is convicted of killing some one and they are sent to death row. What’s the difference because you are just doing the same thing to them? So does that is making us a killer? 
             I think that we should get rid of the death penalty because it will be more torture for the prisoners. They will be stuck in a room and be suffering. If they were sent to death we would just take them out of there misery. Also we would save so much money it will just benefit all of us.

knight

The occupation I would be based on Canterbury tales would be a knight. I choose the knight because the knight is a brave and powerful person. It also reminds my a little of myself. Also during the middle ages knights were honored and looked up to. The knight in Canterbury tales was very important and played a big role in the world.
            I would I live on the road I mean that I would travel around the world helping people in need of help. Also I would have some companions so I won’t be alone and have some people to travel with. I would mostly work with the king and go be sent out on missions and go on quests. My work occupation would be to help serve the king and his queen. The challenges I would face daily is going to my knights training and running the kings errands. My family life is that my father left my mother and I have to be the man of the house. Also I am the supplier and send some money for my mother so she can feed my brothers and sisters. I feel that the world is cruel and its all for one and one for all. Yes I do have military training. its very hard and I have to work really hard but I learn new things everyday. I value my family a lot that’s why I send money to help out my mother, brothers, and sisters. I always say family first.
            In the future I plan not to be a knight. I want to settle down and start my own family. Also I want to marry a princess. But if that doesn’t work out I really don’t know what I am going to do probably stay a knight till something hits me.

american dream

                        American dream
My American dream is to have a better future by having a good job to support my family. It’s going to be hard to achieve this goal because of how the economy is. Just like from the “generation screwed” it talks about how its hard to get a job and provide for a family. It will take a lot of dedication to achieve this American dream but it will not just benefit me but also my family.
To get a good job it will take education and determination. If you just have a high school education you won’t be able to find a good paying job. In “generation screwed” someone applied to five jobs a week and has gotten nothing but rejections. That shows even the low paying jobs aren’t hiring and are looking for specific people to take those jobs. Among 2011 law school graduates half could not find a job in the legal field nine months after finishing school.(generation screwed). Even with a good education it will still be hard to manage to find a job. So by people not getting hired the unemployment rate is getting higher
            By people not being able to get a job this means less people are going to want to get married. When people want to get married you are going to have to waste a lot of money but if you don’t have a job that is not going to happen. Also the cause of not getting married less and less people are going to have children. “Nearly a third of people between 18 and 34 have put off marriage or having a baby due to recession.”
            In conclusion my American dream may seem simple and easy but in reality it’s not. I am going to have to think of a way to find a good job and be able to support my family. Yes I am going to have to modify it by going to college and getting a good education. Even thought I might not get a job right away but I will be benefiting myself and my family. I will put my whole effort and dedication to achieve my American dream.

college enterences

if a student is falling behind in school and enrolled in a college they shouldnt be allowed in. they knew what classes they were going to take so they should have thought twice before enrolling in the class. most seniors are thinking that its their last year and they could mess around but in reality this year is really important. this will get on their transcript and that will affect how the college will look at you.

if the student enrolled in  a class then they decided to drop the class that will make the student look bad. the college already saw the transcript and put the student in the class they wanted. later the college would have to take you out of the class and they might take you out ofthe college. the college will think you are playing around and wont take you seriously. they also will think that you dont know what career you would want to do. also seniors should have a hard year to prepare them for college. students should be stressing because that will make them know how to handle there stuff at college. the colleges also want the students to take risks and challenges but ifthey seeyou drop out of the class they know you arent going to be a hard worker. colleges need students that are able to work at a college level not at a  high school level.  so they will be looking for students who will be hard workers and dedicated,

in conclusions students who dont make grades during senior year shouldnt be allowed in the college because it shows that they really dont want to be in school. the students are alsonot dedicated to there choices and will be gettimg in and out of classes. colleges need students that can work at a college level not a high school level. so colleges have to be strict with the students and show them a peice of reality. hard work will take you places.
