The random things in life

Depending on the species, fish release eggs that then are fertilized and float at or near the surface for 20 to 40 hours before they hatch. The newly hatched fish live as larvae at or near the surface for another 20 to 50 days. Oil can rupture gills and degrade the skin of fish larvae and rupture the membranes of microscopic plankton that fish rely on for food.What’s worse, scientists can’t say for sure how the chemical dispersants being sprayed on the slick will affect marine life.

The dispersants break the slick into tinier droplets that degrade more easily but those droplets can be more easily taken up by fish.  So far, more than 475,000 gallons of dispersant have been used to try to reduce the amount of oil that would reach fragile marshes and beaches. After their larval stage, fish become bottom dwellers in sea grass beds, coral reefs and other hard bottoms. The fewer fish that survive the larval stage, the fewer adult fish swimming around to catch for years later.

This indicates to me that a major event like this in the Gulf of Mexico is going to have long-term effects on fisheries. The spill is likely to set back progress of plans to rebuild fish stocks so they no longer are overfished.

Step two,Gather some cotton balls, nail polish remover, towel, newspaper, and clear nail polish. Paint your nails in a well-ventilated room. The fumes can be extremely dangerous to your health.

Step three, Take off any old polish if you have any, especially if it's chipped. If you don't have any nail polish on already, then swipe some nail polish remover over your nails before you begin painting to get rid on any natural oils on your nails. This will keep the color smooth and help the color last longer.

step four, Roll the bottle between your hands to warm the nail polish for about 25-30 seconds. Open it, and scrape some of the excess nail polish off on the side of the bottle. Don't shake it. Rolling the bottle keeps bubbles out of the polish and keep your nails smooth.

Step five, Apply one coat of clear nail polish (base polish works best!). Allow it to fully dry to the touch before proceeding. It's okay if some of the color gets on your skin. Nobody will be able to tell since there's no color!

Step six, Paint one stripe of color in the middle of your thumb or pinky nail. Then, paint a stripe on the left, continuing to the right. This subtly focuses the color in the middle of the nail. Remember to keep your hand steady. Don't worry if it looks too thin -- it's supposed to. Re-dip your brush into the bottle before starting the nail so the color is evenly distributed throughout your nails. Let it dry completely before adding you last coat. You may have to wait 5-10 minutes, so grab a magazine or book to read while you wait.

step seven, Add another coat of color if desired, depending on the shade of color you want. Bear in mind that if you want a color very similar to the bottle you should paint two coats, but if you want a lighter shade then skip to the next step. Let this dry. Remember that the top coat is the one everyone will see, and the one that you'll feel. Keep that coat smooth!

step eight, Paint a last coat of clear polish to keep the color lasting for at least one more week! This seals and protects the color.

    One day I just could not decide what or where i wanted to eat, the choices were between kfc, Mcdonalds, Burger King, and Taco Bell. I wasn't really in the mood for greasy chicken or a greasy hamburger. So the choices were narrowed down - did I want a spicy chicken crisp sandwich from Burger King or a 5 layer Burrito from Taco Bell? Well my time was limited to choose and we already past Taco Bell so my only option was Burger King.
   Burger King sounded really good at the time, until later that night. . . after i had already ate the spicy chicken crisp, i soon later found out the chicken was bad. I was up all night sick, running back and forth to the bathroom i thought i was dieing. I then never again ate from Burger King again.

    We ask this question a lot, If you could go back in time how far would you go and why? When someone asks me I tell them that i would go back to when my parents split up and got back together and stop them from getting back together. Why? because life was so much better when they weren't together, i didn't get in trouble for no reason, and my parents were happier.
   All it is at my house anymore is fighting and arguing over stupid little things that are pointless to argue over, to be honest i loved it when they weren't together. There was no screaming and yelling and my parents were actually cool about stuff they would flip out about now. I got to spend the week with my mom and some of the weekends and Tuesdays and Thursday with my dad. If i could only go back to that time.

    If I were forced to get one tattoo by law, I would get my birth date around my ankle. My reason or personal reason why is that represents the day I came into this world. The meaning of it is that that's the day my mother brought me here, she risked everything just to have me.
    I think my birthday has a meaning, everyone's does, that's the day they became someone. Everyone has a significant meaning in life and they should get the chance to prove it, or show it. I chose to show my meaning by having my birth date as my tattoo.

If I could do anything without failure, I would join the Air Force. After graduation I plan on going into the Air Force, going to basic first then after college. When I'm out of college I want to get right to going and doing that. I chose the Air Force because I think I would get somewhere in life, and not be like the people I know and not do anything with my life.
What inspired me to chose this is my sister's and also my friend Kira. When she graduated last year she joined the National Guard and said "why not do something that means something to you, than do something you know you won't like." So she inspired me. I thought a lot about what I wanted to do when I graduate, how I was going to live my life, and I really wanted to do something that not only helps me, but other people as well.

Lauren 'LC' Conrad is a fashion designer now with a line at Kohl's, so it's no surprise that she can put a great outfit together.

These mirrored ice earrings are cheap and cute and they are from Brookadelphia and they are $4o. You don't always have to have to the expensive stuff to look good.



There are fashion companies that have made items that will donate a portion of sales to help Haiti. The shirt on the right is $35. All donations are proceeds to the One Dome at a time Emergency Fund.
