One of my personal favorite restaurants for me would be Buffalo's Chicken Shack. Their restaurant is located at  261 Hackensack Street, Wood-Ridge, New Jersey. Buffalo's is a restaurant based upon  spicy chicken dishes and other Southern style dishes with a very layed back setup. In my opinion, the best dish is their Buffalo chicken wings: this dish has many sauce flavors from sweet honey and BBQ to burning hot Numb Ya Face and their famous Challenge Sauce. They also sell on their menu chicken and waffle dishes, milkshakes, fried chicken, and burgers. Buffalo's was established in 2010 and is still running more popular than it was when it started. They are a single running restaurant, while attracting many customers everyday they're open. Their hours are 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. from Monday to Sunday. Buffalo's s my favorite restaurant because it serves the best and spiciest chicken wings I've ever had. They also make really good milkshakes from hand. If this restaurant closed, it would be a tragedy to their customers and me that such a great restaurant closed down. If the restaurant would move or have a new chain it wouldn't really affect anything except transportation to get there. The first time I heard of Buffalo's was after many people in my school have said they make very good wings and are going to eat there. Buffalo's also has a weekly special called Sixty Cent Wing Wednesday where each wing costs 60 cents. I go to Buffalo's most of the time on Wednesday to get more wings than I do. Buffalo's is also famous for having their annually Challenge Sauce Contest in which contestants have to race to eat the most challenge sauce in a matter of time. Many famous competitive food eaters enter this contest to be the champion of the year. The winning prize of the contest is a $1000. In this contest, they also have a pie eating contest.

Using my goals to contributing a community or society, in a way, can contribute a lot if I put my mind on to it. If I would like to change the world at any moment in time, it would be now I would guess. I could try my hardest to change or contribute today's world and society, but it takes a lot to change. My mind will focus on something tragic, as to disease, I would think that need to help in finding a cure to certain diseases. I would feel like giving pity to the many people with deadly, incurable, diseases would be giving a cup of water to a dying tree. Yet it is something that helps, small progress is still progress. If I would become a millionaire, I would use as much money as it takes to help a charity, which might sound not as helpful to change society, but it will still help the cause its going to. Not matter how much you give to help a cause, even if it is a dollar, It will still help. That thought of me helping just a little more, is a goal achieved from a desire to help.

RSS Assignment Discussions

Why did you select the sites you subscribed to?I have recently started using RSS feeds to keep myself organized information for school assignments. I chose all of these RSS to start with since most were interesting to read from or just caught my eye: CNN News, FIFA News, FBI Most Wanted, CDC Outbreaks, LoL News.Was it easy to find feeds and to subscribe to them? For me, finding the RSS feeds were somewhat easy as most of the websites had RSS links yet some had no connection to their links, but instead you could use their main links as average RSS links.Which sites were your favorites? My favorite RSS feeds were FIFA News and FBI Most Wanted as they had very interesting things for their main links.What else can you use RSS feeds for? RSS feeds can be used in so many ways to organize yourself, especially for projects and assignments in schools.How likely are you to continue to use RSS feeds in the future? In my opinion, I will likely have to use RSS feeds to be organized with information with projects as they are very handy and useful.

If i could add a class to the school curriculum it would be homework class. Homework class can help students finish their homework during class so they can be worry free of other assignments. This class would let students to do homework, they were recently given by their other teachers, the whole period.This makes class a perfect time to improve grades in other major courses. To know that the students are doing their homework, teachers will be given a list by their teachers of the assignments they were given that day. If the student isn't given any homework on the day, the teacher will have to make the student study for upcoming tests or work on a project that has not been assigned by the teacher during the week, which will help the student get a head-start at the project.
This class will be available to all students for grades 7-12 for curricular reasons. If so a student is failing a class for not doing projects, homework, or studying, the student will be put into the class mandatory for his help in learning. If the student does not complete their following homework, it is assigned to them as the class's homework of the day. If the student doesn't, or forgets to do the homework the day it was assigned, it will be marked down as a 0 for both classes, Grades will be only based on the hard work and commitment into doing homework in the class for their own grades

Wiki Research 11/13/14

If I had to choose a class that we could use wikis for educational purposes I would choose Biology I since it is a complicated course. Wikis would help the class keep quick notes on the chapter or lesson we are on, especially since for studying on an upcoming test with the right and correct information. We could also use wikis for presentations on certain sections on the textbook, so we could make it easier to understand the lessons. It is also possible to use wikis to study vocabulary words that we don't get or understand. Creating a wiki in Biology I would keep all notes and test reviews organized for when midterms and exams are coming near. If I had a recommended wiki, it would be wiki-dot since most students that are in the class already have an account and experience using the website from other classes like World History. Everyone has experience using wikis since there is a World History project every month using wikis.

A representation is used for representing a subject, mostly to talk about the importance about that subject. When leading a presentation, you need to talk with details that don't confuse the audience and will fully educate a audience member on the subject and why you made a presentation about it.

Their ideas need to be used by you to make you change your thoughts on the subject, use their ideas to change your's. Trying showing pictures and videos, visual-aids help the viewer know more about the subject. Their audience's attention is important for the presentation, its the main purpose.

Tech Blog: Congress wants net neutrality

Congress Wants Net Neutrality

Representitive Henry Waxman made a 15-page letter to the company FCC for adopting new net neutrality rules to stop the controversy and problems. Waxman's solution to this issue, is to grant the FCCs new oversight to broadband providers. the FCC had a third attempt back in May to develop rules that will protect the Internet from potential, harmful future practices. Without any new rules, ISPs will abandon the rules of net neutrality. FCCs plan to change the rules have been changing through the decade as many of them have mostly failed. The is also a problem with the third party companies, that depend on the internet, will be put at risk from not having an open internet protection. The plan to change net neutrality rules are still at debate from the FCC and Congress.

An editorial is is a written article that gives the author' opinion on the certain topic. Many people write editorials to all different types of topics they want to talk about. A popular weviste that has millions of editorials on many different topics is Wikipedia. Ever since I started using computers for schools, teachers have told me not to rely on Wikipedia for reliable resource and information. Most teachers have told me that Wikipedia is a public website, meaning that people can change the information on every editorial on their network. Today, Wikipedia has changed to now having a link to the resource that you got the information from to post the new information on the topic you are making an editorial about. Believing Wikipedia has changed from the past rules, I believe we, students, should be able to use Wikipedia as a reliable resource now that it has a stricter policy to changing editorials. I stll dont know if we can or not use Wikipedia for resources as most of the teachers I've had, don't mention about how they've changed their thoughts about Wikipedia since their rules have changed to the public. My thoughts to Wikipedia should be that we should use it as a resource since its old policies have changed.

Algebra I

Algebra I is a very important class for a Freshman, since you need to learn different formulas and equation forms for future classes like Geometry and Calculus. My teacher for Algebra I is Mr. Santagelo, who is good Math teacher and also he has an assistant teacher Ms Simpson. He also has a his own link in the school website which is here. What I expected when I started his class was that we were going to learn a lot about fractions and equation formulas. All I expected is going to be what we're going to learn about during the year. We have already taken a test for our Summer Assingment and we have been working on translating Algebraic expressions from words. Translating them means that we get an expression in the form of words.
His grading policy is much more different than other teacher's as he has different percentages for the class :

• 40%  Formal Assesments
• 25%  Quizzes 
• 15%  Informal Assesments
• 5%   Homework.

One of the aspects I like about his class is that he doesn't joke that much around and wants his students to actually learn something from his class. Other aspects is that he doesn't give as much homework as you need to and won't teach ahead of students as much, who have missed a lesson the day before. The Technology we use in his class are the TI 84 calculator and a Chromebook to make it easier to learn and do Algebra I. Learning Algebra is one of te first steps into learning math, it is also used to defining algorithms and turning them into running programs.

Educational Technology and Copyright Law

Copyright is a law that gives people, the right to be called the creators of their work legally. This article taught me a lot about copyright;including that when you create something new, it immedietly gets copyrighted without requiring any paperwork. I also learned that there are four exclusive rights to copyright which are:

1. Educational Technology and Copyright Law
2. Display the copyrighted work publicly
3. Prepare derivative works based on the copyrighted work
4. Distribute copies of the copyrighted work to the public by sale, rental or lending, and/or to display the image.

Copyright also doesn't mean that people can't use it, but it means that the person or company that used your picture has to keep you credit. The only way for your work to not be used in projects by other people and companies, you have to have a licence for it. Not only is licensing a lot of work but it cost money for your work to have a license. Copyright is a very interesting
