PART 1

Hey Sarah,
I liked your story it was interesting to read and the character of your story was real and her self not trying to be someone ells which is cool to me, I liked how you said “ the girl was saying ”I could feel my face getting bright red” and in the story the girl seemed like she’s talking more and more about her and being comfortable which she wasn’t in the beginning.

Hey Abe,
I like your story and how its talking about report cards, your story is talking about real stuff happening now a day’s , the one who didn’t pass 2 f his class’s was feeling “cool” because he think his self like he’s too cool for school (for me he’s un cool) because he’s going to end up in shit, no job and no life, and I think the one who passed and are feeling good are cool, and the one who failed feels he’s so cool because he have a car and like it’s a big deal. It’s a good story, I enjoyed reading it, keep it up.

Hey Jace,
I liked your story, but it was a little bit short, but I liked how you use imagery (the balloon and are life) here is nothing ells to say for me, keep using imagery but not for the whole story, like talk about other stuff and with details, good job.

Hey amber,
I liked your story, it was good (not short and not long) but the character didn’t sound cool to me because she was acting like she’s a big shit, like “expelled me now” she can just explane what happens with her or bring a note from family and they will go over it lol but not this way, not saying the story is bad, the story is great, good job keep it up.

Hey Amon,
Your story doesn’t relate to the school at all and I think it should be but I’m not sure ask and see, but I liked the story you have and I think the character shouldn’t care about the other people and what they think and be his self and that would be cool.



PART 2

I think everyone is talking about them self’s and how they go in school, and what they usually do, like amon smokes so he puts in his story smoking stuff, but the think that related between almost everyone that’s they say that everyone be having I-pods on when they go in school(they say that either by saying, oh she saw the teacher lips moving, or I was listening to music when I was walking in…etc) and text messaging in class was in a lot of story’s, like in the story’s we were talking about are self and what we do and all what related between all the story’s is(i-pods and text messaging).

redoing the short story

he wakes up so tired gets ready so slow, and gets to the school usually late, see’s the dean on the door saying “that’s not what you said when you came with your brother to sign in this school, you told us you going to be early every day” walks up to his class and goes in while everyone be looking at him and one goes “oh what time is it?” to be funny which is not, and that’s even before they say good morning , well he sits down and do his class work and pay attention to the teacher, and he remembers he have home work for the next class he have that he didn’t do, so he starts working on it during the class he’s late 2, its 9.30 and he have 15 minutes left to finish his homework that’s due for the next class.
The teacher goes” stop working on math and pay attention over here” he ignores the teacher and continue working like the teacher didn’t even say anything. then the teacher takes the notebook from him and said “come take it after this class ends” and he goes “oh my god, I was almost done, come on” and the teacher says “now stop talking and shut up” then he goes “ don’t tell me to shut up , I mean you can say be quite better than shut up, nicer” the teacher goes “ I said shut up, so shut up please). The teacher goes away and he start telling the student that sitting next to him” why that ass hole is picking on me today?” the other student goes “ugh life is sucks buddy”.

HW 23 - 1st Constructivist Exploration of Cool


i think every one likes to have a lot of friends and to be knowing by every one, when problems happen between people its because someone is in a bad mood and don't feel good or when there is a miss understanding between 2 people and then drama happens but that's uncool to me to have a fight with someone or drama and you don't even understand the other person and what he did that got you mad, and a third reason on why sometimes drama happens its because probably someone is fucked up, but i don't think there is fucked up people in this world probably a little, i think that because like how i said in the beginning evryone likes to have a lot of friends and evryone be nice to him/her.

uncool mean to me, to be not nice with people, act like your better than people,there is no one better than anyone in this world, i think were all at the same level no one should be showing off or acting like hes the best, and we mentioned in class that having a new shoes make a person probably cool or having a new phone to some people, i don't agree with that because having a new phone doesn't make any person be a better person its only a new phone any one can work and get it, but if a person don't have a good phone, most of he people be making fun of him, like OoOo people got to the moon and you still have that old phone, and some people get hurtted when people be making fun of them but they should not and alot of them go just buy a new phone so people stop making fun of them, i dont think thats a good idea just be your self and not give a fuck of what people think, not everyone can effort buying a new phones and new brand name cloths so we shouldn't be making fun of them because that's uncool, and you never know probably in the future they get educated and they start working and get money and they start getting all those new stuff and something happens with your job and u stop getting money or effort getting new stuff so you be in there place, and i don't think you'd like to made fun of!

in are school or are grade, i think everyone is cool because everyone is friendly and not be trying to make trouble or drama with me, so everyone is cool to me, i don't know about other people and i don't know if they think I'm cool or not! and to say if someone is cool or not you need to be knowing him, not judge him with out even knowing him, you'd say this guy is cool but you don't know him and he be an ass hole, and you can say this guy is uncool and hes probably a nice guy!



i think i am nice with every one so i consider my self cool with people i guess, but being nice to people sometimes is not good, because like how we said in class when someone shows people that he don't give a fuck about them they be nicer than when you show them attention, and "it works in relation ships" Jacara and Kareem.

well that's what i think of what cool means but its probably wrong and its probably right, id like to know the right detention of it and how would we consider someone is cool or uncool?

Eq: How is digital technology affecting bad on our society?

this world has a lot of things that made are life easier like digital devices but in the same time it got us into stuff we don’t want to be in.
‘digital representation is making us lazier and unhealthy and it reduce us to stupid chines ordering slope

technology made the kids and teen stop doing there homework
and some of the adults stay up all night on the video game wasting time trying to finish some video games levels and go to work late! Which it gets all of who’s using it dumber that’s what I think, because there
always doing the same think and thinking of the same thing. Which it makes there minds close (only open for video games to think) like if someone keeps doing math it helps him to get better in math, but we use math a lot in our life, what do we get from video games that we use in our lives or makes us think better? And most of the video games that be played are killing games and shooting ones , so how is that going to help them think better and be smarter? Shoot and kill people and most of whos playing it are kids!

the people I use to live with in the middle east didn’t have that much of
electronic devices from (i-pods, TVs’, cell phones…etc) like the 20 years and up would have cell phones but they would only use it for emergencies not to text and waste time or call girls and talk to them for hours probably talking about the same thing again and again, any American person that’s living with all of these device’s would say how are these people in the middle east are living with out any of (i-pod, laptops, new cellphone…etc)?

I think there living a better life then us, simple and easy no headache and stress that we get from these digital devices or waste of time! And there way smarter kids in school, always doing there home works and studying for exam’s they don’t have face book to distract them or cell phones to text! There living a basic normal life not caring of what this guy or girl wrote on my wall, or should I go out with this guy or girl and all of this things we keep thinking of from using technology, like (Face book and My space…etc)

And an example of that is me, I used to live in Palestine and then I moved to America, there I had no i-pod , I had a cell phone but
I never texted on it, I just used it for emergencies(none of electronics devices to distract me from doing my work) I used to do my work in less time than what it takes me right now, Now when I try to do my homework I be like let me check face book and do work in the same time, then it takes me an hour doing that simple home work which it actually take 10 minutes if I focused on it, and it would take like an hour and I wouldn’t give me whole attention to it and it wont be good as what I use to do before!

people there have less stuff to make there life easier like people over here, and there doing better than us! They work hard to go in college! We here have financial aid for who ever doesn’t have the money to pay for college and scholars ships and all of these things that’s helps getting in college, and most of the kids have trouble going in colleges from not graduating and from the low gpa! Like if the people in the Middle East had what people over here have from chances to get in colleges and study you would see %90 of them in colleges.


I am not saying there isn’t any smart people over here at all. There is , but I
don’t think they be addicted to digital devices they probably have (Cell phones and laptops…etc) but they wont use them in a way that hurt them(waste there time)! Like they don’t fall into those stuff a lot, there paying more attention to school and actual things that’s going to get them somewhere in life, these are the people we can call smart!

From using digital devices a lot were not paying attention to what’s happening in the World, like this ozone problem that’s happening, and its happening because of us, by (burning are garbage and using a lot of cars…etc) all of these things dirty the air and causing the ozone problem!

This ozone problem is causing a lot of bad things, one of those things, the number of The people getting skin cancer is going up, and all of what were doing is just playing video games, who cares About “68,720 person that gets a skin cancer a year”wekipedia its not us who’s getting it, We can help to stop the number in going down, but we don’t know how we going to do That, we can search it but why would we? In the 10 minutes that would take us searching How we can stop that problem we can play video games or text someone! Isn’t that Ignorant, who knows probably next year it be one of are family who’s having that Problem or r self!

Why couldn’t we stop all of those stuff and pay more attention to the world and What’s happening, more than what levels were at in this video game or what’s happening on that t-v show!

Technologies made are life easier but it tokes from us more than what it gave us, from being smart and healthy to being unhealthy and less smart and the worst part that were paying for these devices a lot of money like an example($230 just for an i-pod touch) we can buy food for the whole week and for the whole family with this $230 isn’t that crazy? Aren’t we paying money for something that hurting us! . I’m not saying technology is not good at all, I know it made some of things way easier than before but in the same time it hurts us if we use it wrong, a good example of it is a knife and the knife depends on how you use it, you can use it to help you cut something, and it can hurt you if you use it wrong! Technology if you use it to waste your time and spend your money on unneeded stuff and get us unhealthy this way it hurts like the knife, and if we use it to search stuff and only call people for emergencies and good stuff this way it would help us!


technology makes the people who use digital devices a lot, get a bad health! From sitting down not moving and eating and looking at the screen not moving, but why were still doing it while we know its bad for us and its bad and how we got addicted to it?

Anyone in this world wish to have the best body and no one wish to be fat,
and the only way to get the best body is to work out or play sport so if we use a lot of digital devices we would never get that best body and be happy we would be fat and be sad!

(to connect it again to the middle east) in the Middle East I don’t see that much of fat and unhealthy

People most of them go play sport on the weekend not Sit home in front of screens and get fatter and fatter, eating fast food the food we
order on the phone because (were 2 lazy to make food in are kitchen from are clean hands and clean kitchen tools)And sitting in front of screen (TV or computer or PSP…etc) for hours not moving just opening are eyes makes the person gets fat no matter what!

What do we get from the digital devices (TVs or computers…etc) ok let’s say we use them to talk to people or search stuff, but what ells? Making some dreams and were just talking and talking about those dreams and were not doing anything to make those dreams to come true, because we don’t have time to do anything ells from using the digital devices(like to work and get money to go somewhere for vecation as a dream) ! So we just get those huge dreams that probably are never going to come true(like a guy talking to a girl on the internet that he never meet and he start liking her some how and then he start dreaming of being with her..etc), I connect that huge unhappening dreams to the movie wall e the robot collect the garbage and do it as a square and put all of those squares on top of each other till he made buildings, I think those building (that made of garbage) are like the unhappening dreams!

How we got so addicted to it and why we never stopped doing it even though we know its not good for us?

The way a person gets addicted to digital devices, goes like this “the person having nothing to do all bored sitting home after school or work, so he try to find anything to makes him get out from the bored mood he’s in, so the only thing he goes 2 is a digital device to use like(computer TVS, video games..etc), then the second time he be bored, he do the same thing, and then he have things online that makes him wants to go back and check it like ”Face book, email…etc” or there is shows makes him go back to the TV to see what’s going to happen next, or wanting to finish the level of the video game your playing, little by little the person knows more and more about what’s there on the computer or t.v shows and then he be trying everything, and then HERE WERE ADDICTED, now we know that there is bad affects from it, we have to stop it or use it less than how much we do, we try and we fail because we got used to the laziness and sitting down and not moving.

it brings sickness to who use it a lot!
Yes it does bring sickness when we use it a lot, how?
When you get fatter from sitting down watching TVs and eating u get fater and fater, the sickness like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart problems. These are sickness from being fat.

A study says that fast food like (McDonalds food, burger kind…etc) makes heartaches that’s beside the cholesterol and the a lot of the sugar in the meal that makes sickness, we eat that because technology makes us lazier and have no time to make are own food!

Another thing that affect bad on us from digital devices are vision is getting bad from the laser that the screen gives any screen (small lentando screen, T.V screen, or it can be computer screen) and then we need glass’s or contact lenses which it means paying more money, first we paid for the digital device and now were paying to fix the bad thing we got from the device we bought, its paying money and money , while we can save all of that money and just go play sport and be active and healthy and not wear glass’s or have any sickness because were fat, all of that by just using less digital devices, we understand that many people can not live with out digital devices, or they cant imagine there life with out digital devices(that’s who’s addicted to it), but were not saying stop (text or watch TV or face book…etc) were just saying use it less than what you do and then by using it less you going to care less and then you probably going to stop it all.

For who’s not addicted to digital devices, I tell them to first look at the device and think how its going to help them and how its going to make them worse, and just take the good things and leave the bad stuff! This way well has a better world and better thinkers!


Overall, digital devices are affecting bad on our society and us, its bringing
sickness to us and making us not to do are actual work and waste are time on
stupid stuff!

h.w #19

Your thesis and arguments and are good and strong, I don’t think you need to change anything in them, so am try to give you some idea’s to what to write about this arguments and for evidence, so for argument one you can say that people got fat because they don’t play sport and they stay home watching t.v not playing any sport…..and you keep going on with this point, and you can say that it made ordering fast food easier to us, like you can order pizza online or call for it, so sitting home watching TVs and ordering fast food! (You can add on this how bad is the fast food and how its unhealthy and it cause some heart problems!)
for argument 2 you can talk about how we just start by one text message or just trying to check face book and then from just trying to check it you stay for hours and then you go on conversations with friends that you cant cut, see we started from just checking and ended up staying online for hours and you cant stop!
argument 3 I don’t get the point of it, I am sorry I cant think of any idea’s to help you talking about it!
Argument 4 I think you can talk how when people watch some movies it affects on them to the level it changes the way they live there life, which is to the bad! And it makes them want to do some crazy stuff like killing people or even killing themselves or when they see some romance movies and it gives them those wrong idea’s about love….you keep going on that point!

*I hope I helped you ,I know your smart and you going to do great, good luck!

Eq: How is digital technology affecting bad on our society?

The overuse of technology present in the USA shows signs of laziness and
unhealthy behavior. Which leads to a nation of indoor activity and bad eating habits?

or this thesis ‘ digital representation is making us lazier and unhealthy and that it reduce us to stupid chines ordering slop.

(sarrah and abe, tell me which thesis is more powerful?)
Argument 1:-(society)

it made the kids and the teen and some of the adults stop doing there homework

and the some adults stay up all night on the video game trying to finish some level

and go to work late! Which it get all of whos using it a lot dumber because there

always doing the same think and thinking of the same thing. Which it makes there minds close (only open for video games to think).

Evidence: the people I use to live with in the middle east didn’t have that much of

electronic devices from (i-pods, TVs’, cell phones…etc) like the 20 years and up

would have cell phones but they would only use it for emergencies not to text and

waste time or call girls and talk to them for hours probably talking about the same thing again and agin, any American person that living

with all of these device’s would say how are these people in the middle east areliving? I think there living a

better life then us, simple and easy! And there way smarter kids in school always

doing there home works and studying for exam’s they don’t have face book to

distract them or cell phones to text! And an example of that is me, I used to live in

Palestine and then I moved to America, there I had no i-pod , I had a cell phone but

I never texted on it, I just used it for emergencies(none of electronics devices to

distract me from doing my work) I used to do my work in less time than what it

takes me right now! Now when I try to do my homework I be like let me check face

book and do work, then it takes me hours doing that simple home work!

And the proof that people there are smarter, because I think they have less money

and less stuff to make there life easier, and there doing better than us! They work

hard to go to college! Us we have financial aid for who ever doesn’t have money to

pay for college and scholars ships and all that and most of the kids have trouble

going into colleges! Like if the people in the Middle East had what people over here

have from chances to get in colleges and study you would see %90 of them in

colleges, I am not saying there is not smart people over here at all. There is , but I \

don’t think they be addicted to digital devices as who were talking about from the American that be using digital devices like crazy!

From using digital devices a lot were not paying attention to what’s happening in the

World, like this ozone problem that’s happening from us using plastic stuff and

Burning them and burning other stuff and using cars , all of that dirty the air!.

This ozone problem is causing a lot of bad things, one of those things, the number of

The people getting skin cancer is going up, were just playing video games, who cares

About “68,720 person that gets a skin cancer a year”wekipedia its not us who’s getting it,

We can help to stop the number on going down, but we don’t know how we going to do

That, we can search it but why would we? In the 10 minutes that would take us searching

How we can stop that problem we can play video games or text someone! Isn’t that

Ignorant, who knows probably next year it be one of are family who’s having that

Problem! Why couldn’t we stop all of those stuff and pay more attention to the world and

What’s happening, more than what levels were at in this video game or what’s happening on that t-v show!

Technologies made are life easier but it tokes from us more than what it gave us,

from being smart and healthy to being unhealthy and less smart and the worst part

that were paying for these devices a lot of money like an example($230 just for an i-

pod touch) we can buy food for the whole week and for the whole family with this

$230 isn’t that crazy? Aren’t we paying money for something that hurting us! . I’m

not saying technology is not good at all, I know it made some of things way easier

than before but in the same time it hurts us if we use it wrong, a good example of it

is a knife and the knife depends on how you use it, you can use it to help you cut

something, and it can hurt you if you use it wrong!

Argument 2:-( and it makes the people who use digital devices a lot, get

a bad health! From sitting down not moving and eating and looking at the screen

not moving, but why were still doing it while we know its bad for us and how we got addicted to it?

Evidence: Anyone in this world wish to have the best body and no one wish to be fat,

and the only way to get the best body is to work out or play sport so if we use a lot

od digital devices we would never get that best body and be happy we would be fat and be sad!
(to connect it again to the middle east) in the Middle East I don’t see that much of fat and unhealthy

People most of them go play sport on the weekend not

Sit home in front of screens and get fatter and fatter, eating fast food the food we

order on the phone because (were 2 lazy to make food in are kitchen from are clean hands and clean kitchen tools)

And sitting in front of screen (TV or computer or PSP…etc) for hours not moving just

opening are eyes makes the person gets fat no matter what!

What do we get from the digital devices (TVs or computers…etc) ok let’s say we use

them to talk to people, but what ells? Making some dreams and were just talking and

talking and were not doing anything to make are dreams to come true, because we

don’t have time to do anything ells from using the digital devices! So we just get

those huge dreams that are never going to come true, I connect that huge

unhappening dreams to the movie wall e the robot collect the garbage and do it as a

square and put all of those squares on top of each other till he made buildings, I

think those building (that made of garbage) are like the unhappening dreams!

How we got so addicted to it and why we never stopped doing it even though we know its not good for us?

The way a person gets addicted to digital devices, goes like this “the person having

nothing to do all bored sitting home after school or work, so he try to find anything

to makes him get out from the bored mood he’s in, so the only thing he goes 2 is a

digital device to use like(computer TVS, video games..etc), then the second time he

be bored, he do the same thing, and then he have things online that makes him

wants to go back and check it like”facebook, email…etc” or there is shows makes

him go back to the TV to see what’s going to happen next, or wanting to finish the

level of the video game your playing, little by little the person knows more and more

about what’s there on the computer or t.v shows and then he be trying everything,

and then HERE WERE ADDICTED, now we know that there is bad affects from it, we

have to stop it or use it less than how much we do, we try and we fail because we got used to the laziness and sitting down and not moving.



Argument 3: it brings sickness to who use it a lot!

Yes it does bring sickness when we use it a lot, how?
When you get fatter from sitting down watching TVs and eating, the fat brings the

sickness like diabetes, high blood pressure, some cancers and heart problems. These are

sickness from being fat, and how we got fat, from watching TVs and eating fast food !

Another thing that affect bad on us from digital devices are vesion getting bad from the

laser that the screen gives any screen (small lentando screen, T.V screen, or it can be

computer screen) and then we need glass’s or contact lenses which it means paying more

money, first we paid for the digital device and now were paying to fix the bad thing we

got from the device we bought, its paying money and money , while we can save all of

that money and just go play sport and be active and healthy and not wear glass’s or have

any sickness because were fat, all of that by just using less digital devices, we understand

that many people can not live with out digital devices, or they cant imagine there life with

out digital devices(that’s who’s addicted to it), but were not saying stop (text or watch t.v

or face book…etc) were just saying use it less than what you do, and for who’s not

addicted to digital devices, I tell them to first look at the device and think how its going

to help them and how its going to make them worse, and just take the good things and

leave the bad stuff! This way well has a better world and better thinkers!


Overall, digital devices are affecting bad on our society and us, its bringing

sickness to us and making us not to do are actual work and waste are time on
stupid stuff!

I like your thesis, I think there good enough and you don’t need to change them, and the argument are strong and good, am tell you some stuff that u can say or add on argument one like “ u can say people success more on other places when they don’t use that much of technology because they have more time to do other stuff and just even try them and see how good they are and if they would like it or not.
And about argument 2, if you need to ask anything about how there is in the middle east or an questions id be able to answer and help! But id be good 2 if mention that “ iif they have those stuff they’d probably be bad as teen of America”
Argument 3; u can connect argument 3 to what u said, that you got jelouse from your parents or you wanted to do it even more, to have an email and hear that “ you have a new mail” that’s it was your family fault in some how, and then you can say that we weren’t that young when we started using digital devices and we got that addicted on using it after 3 or 4 years, how is the kids that started using it while there 4 or 5 years how bad are they gonna be in the future? And how is that going to help are future to get better and get the world to a better place?

Eq: How is digital technology affecting bad on our society?

Thesis: The electronic representation today has made us lazier and unhealthy .
to the level that people sometimes don’t go outside for days and ordering food on the phone (2 lazy to make there own food)

Argument 1:-(society)

it made the kids and the teen and some of the adults stop doing there homework and the some adults stay up all night on the video game trying to finish some level and go to work late! Which it get all of whos using it a lot dumber because there always doing the same think and thinking of the same thing. Which it makes there minds close (only open for video games to think).

Evidence: the people I use to live with in the middle east didn’t have that much of electronic devices from (i-pods, TVs’, cell phones…etc) like the 20 years and up would have cell phones but they would only use it for emergencies not to text and waste time or call girls and talk to them for hours, any American person that living with all of these device’s would say how are these people living? I think there living a better life then us, simple and easy! And there way smarter kids in school always doing there home works and studying for exam’s they don’t have face book to distract them or cell phones to text!

Argument 2:-( and it makes the people who use digital devices a lot, get a bad vision and a bad health! From sitting down not moving and eating and looking at the screen that gives the laser that hurt are eye’s

Evidence: there(in the middle east) I don’t see that much of fat and unhealthy people most of them go play soccer or basketball or volleyball on the weekend not sitting home in front of screens and getting fatter and fatter, and eating fast food and sitting home in front of screen makes the person gets fat no matter what!

Conclusion:
Overall, digital technology is affecting bad on our society and its making us only thinking of whats going to happen tomorrow not on are future or are kids future!

Sarah,

I agree on this point with you “A new kind of “Feed” that has been brought into our lives is Face book” face book and how everyone is addicted to it, even kids! Which is the worst thing for kids because it would probably give them some ideas that are not good for them.
And you said “Something I notice about this society and a key element to the book Feed is the idea that teenagers, those who will lead us in the future are the main ones addicted to technology. That is not to say that I don’t agree with that statement” I argue you with that because it is true, if were addicted to video gamews and not doing are homework’s or getting any smarter how we are going to get the world in a better place?
you said that “To be quite honest I find videogames quite boring. Maybe its because when my brain was more absorbent I wasn’t absorbing the love for these virtual realties but it seems as though most people were”
I connect that to what Andy said in class , that he don’t watch T.V and because he thinks its not made for him or his mind, something like that!
I wanted to answer a question you asked in which is” how we got addicted to digital devices?” I think we got addicted to it because when we have nothing to do we just go use computer or watch T.V and we kept doing that, and then when we found that doing that is not good (using digital device’s) and we tried to stop it we were used to it to the level we cant even stop it!
Your post makes me consider if the world is going to get any better in the future since all the teen right now addicted to video games and watching T.V and Face book!

I enjoyed reading your posts , and like how I told you before you’re a smart girl Sarah, keep It going!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
abe,
I agree with you on that point” that watching a movie version of any book is better than reading it” I think I would understand it better with the movie version and we would get the idea of the book in like an hour not days of reading the book.
You said “I think that the book could be read by adults but was written in a way that it was also kid friendly so that teen could read it if they wanted to” I don’t think that the book was writing for adults I think it was writing for teenagers and if adults wanted to read it to remember there teen time and compare it to (teen today).
I connect what you said “The book is just showing us what is happening to us and what our world has turn to. But it doesn’t say how to stop the feed.” To what many students said in class, that the book is telling us what’s happening and not telling us the solution to the problem.
Your post makes me wonder if the teen in this world are going to stay this way or they going to stop being addicted to (video games and TVs’…etc) after feed pointed out the problem there having out!

You did a good job, I enjoyed reading your posts thanks!
