Pictures to inspire
Pick a picture which you really like. Maybe it's YOUR picture, maybe it's of your family, of some unique moment...something that moves you! Describe it on your posterous.
Do a written description of at least 10 LINES. Here's mine...and then an audio I made to go with it!
This is a picture of me and my fellow chefs-in-training at a local school known as the ESDAI. It was a wonderful experience and challenge for me since I really like cooking, especially desserts, breads and sweets. I just finished in July and I miss it already. Most people don't know how difficult a career being a chef is. Chefs are very perfectionnist and are very critical of the smallest detail that is out of place. But I like challenges! I remember that they always pressured us to finish elaborate dishes in usually no more than 1 and a half to two hours. Moreover, it had to taste good and LOOK good, which is a bit of a challenge to say the least.
MUSIC!

The web and social networks for children
Like most parents, I try my best to protect my children from what I
deem is not good for them. I'm having trouble recently because my
daughter insists upon opening an account in Facebook. What I have
found out, is that all of these types of networks manage a similar
minimum age to open an account, and that is: 13 years old.
"well, you have facebook, why can't I?" My daughter is 11. Perhaps I
am over protective and nostalgic, but I think and have experienced
that one can waste a lot of time on the computer doing quite simply
nothing. I would prefer seeing her reading a book, playing outside or
playing with her friends rather than sitting in front of a computer
for less than clear reasons. What can you comment on this? Why do you think kids now want to be
part of social networks? Is it a good idea, or does it cause more
harm than good? http://techcrunch.com/2009/02/24/why-social-networks-are-good-for-the-kids/ http://www.safetyweb.com/social-networking-safety
