Your Questions About Gardening

Donald asks…

Opinions wanted on start of Story. Couldn’t fit everything. Let me know…?

Prologue

Running isn’t exactly the easiest thing to do on a full stomach, combine that with a savage pack of hounds and soldiers on your heels and it becomes near impossible.
You could try using some sort of sports product, like the ones they advertise on t.v, and outrun the hounds using the patented “Super-fast trainers of Fastness” but take it from me, that hardly ever works. Zig-zagging also comes in handy but ,unless your a Gazelle, try to avoid it. All you’ll end up achieving is zig-zagging your way into the mouths of those bloodthirsty animals. Yes, running on a full stomach is difficult but running while pregnant is another story entirely. Not only are you running for your own life, but for the life of the little bundle of joy growing inside of you, well technically there were two bundles in this case. but we’ll get to that a little later, for now, more running.

The woman came to rest at the end of the subway in New Haven. She was sweating heavily and blood ran down her right thigh where one of the hounds had sunk his large, razor-like teeth into her only moments ago. Resting against a bunch, she raised her leg and began inspecting the wound, being careful not to alert the hounds or the soldiers ,that were currently looking completely baffled outside a doughnut shop, to her location. She ran her long pale fingers over the wound and immediately set her leg back down. Of three things she was now absolutely certain: One, there was no she could run anymore, not with that injury. Second, the people she was running running from were only seconds away from discovering her and thirdly, she was really really hungry. I suppose that comes with being pregnant but I wouldn’t know. Strange how being in life or death situation burns those calories and forces a person to think maniacally about what sort of food they’d like to shove down their throats, for instance, the woman sitting on the bench in subway with a large gapping wound in her leg wanted nothing more than to chow-down on a large pizza with pineapples and mushrooms. Not exactly the corner stone of culinary creations but she was craving for three.

If you’re wondering where the hound and soldiers are at this moment, don’t panic. They’re on there way down the stairs on the opposite end of the subway. Happy now? your insatiable impatience has forced me to lead them straight to the woman on the bench, well, mind you, the subway is over a hundred miles in length and almost impossible to navigate unless you have some sort of map, which they didn’t. Still, you my dear reader should feel ashamed. I recommend that you write an apology letter to the woman on the bench in which you apologize profusely for your stupidity and lack of patience…

Done? Well good because ,thanks to one the soldiers quick thinking, the mass of brown jackets, green pants and black custom baby seal leather boots were marching their way up the tunnel leading to that all so important bench. One of the soldiers, a woman by the name of Savanah, stopped to check her reflection in a nearby news stand. Her canine companion turned his head around and growled at the beauty queen. He approached her slowly and circled her, growling and baring his fangs.

“M-m-master please, I was just…”

She never got to finish her apology, maybe if she had written it down before hand, she may have. Her canine companion skulked towards her and in the exact amount of time it takes for a raindrop to reach the ground, her life was over. The dog turned his kindred and instructed them to do the same to their handlers.

“Prius was that really necessary?!” one of the wolves bellowed.

“No, but she was annoying me, and besides we’re going around in circles.” came the reply.

“Circles?”

The wolves were startled by the voice that spoke that question. Not because it was scary, it was actually kind of adorable in a “cross-me-and-I’ll-end-your-life” kind of way. They turned and sat on their hind legs, a sign of respect when the Alpha male communicates with the pack. Well, Shyla is a female wolf so in fairness she must be referred to as an Alpha female.

“What do you mean circles, Prius?” she asked.

“M-m-my lady, we have been to this exact spot before.” Prius replied.

“Really?”

” Y-y-yes my lady”

Shyla rose from her seated position and began padding the floor at her feet.

“And how did you come to this conclusion?”

“I-I-I left a marker over by that large pillar.”

Shyla and the other members of the pack slowly turned and inspected the large support pillar that held up the entire subway. One hundred enormous pillars separated the two giant pieces of earth. The wolves looked along the length of the support pillar and found no sign of a mark, in fact, after Shyla sent two of the scouts half-way down the incredi

Really, really good! I want to read more now, you’ve really hooked me with this!
The only thin i found a bit confusing was the change of point of view in the second paragraph, maybe make it into another paragraph where the POV changes? Otherwise it was awesome. I’d totally buy the book based on this bit of it.

Linda asks…

C&A: plz read my story second time phrasing the question? XD?

okay so i took a survey and in one of the questions on the survey i had to fill in the blanks and then add the ending on my own. i liked my story and i wanna know what you ppl think of it. i posted this question already but deleted it cuz i phrased the question funny. so plz read and tell me what you think !

Tenma tsukamato and Byakuya Kuchiki are over at your house, they both demand to watch dragon ball z but you don’t particularly want to. tenma tsukamato persuades you to watch it again and see if your opinion changes but halfway through the first episode , gin ichimaru breaks into your bedroom window,byakuya kuchiki starts crying and hiding under the bed in fear.(LMFAO! ) . Gin ichimaru asks if you are afraid and you respond with “yes”. konata izumi bursts into the room saying “I’ve found you!” and whips out a sword to fight against gin ichimaru. You are stunned for a moment and then seeing you have some back up say “NANI?!?!” to Gin ichimaru. They are mildly amused at your words and turn to attack you when heroicly tenma tsukamato takes the attack.

Bonus Question :::
What happens next? >:D >:D >:D (Lengthy description please ;D Imagination is the key)

tenma tsukamato falls to the ground and byakuya kuchiki runs to her and says ” your such an idiot why did you have to do that?!” and tenma replies “because…eggs …are…so..yellow *dies*” byakuya screams into the sky “NOOOO!” and gin says “how very irrelavent and innapropriate those last words were, in any event i have come to take you down haley!!” i (you) say ” uhh but i have no weapons” . konata says ” haley use this !” and she hands me a pokeball. i take it and say “wtf!?! how am i gonna use this thing?” konata replies “omg youve never seen pokemon? you noob” i say “i have but i dont have any pokemon” konata says “just call out whatever you need and it will come out of the pokeball!” and i turn to gin and say “alright you creepy a*ss clown motha fu*cka imma take you down town!” (XD) gin replies “look its the botox okay i never chose to have this face!” i say “i choose you!…uhh..honni sempai!” all of the sudden honninozuka sempai comes out of the pokeball and looks very angry, he looks up at gin and says “you can have some cake if you want, or maybe u can hold usa-chan! *smile*” gin beigins to tremble and scream “no way! you found my weekness! hes just so cute!” and he blows up and many peices of robot fall to the ground. konata says “wow thats just so cool! he was a robot!!” honni goes back into the pokeball and i say “great job team now we continue our journey to defeat naraku and find all the jewl shards! ” konata says “nah i have some anime to watch” byakuya says from the corner sulking”i’ll never fight again” i yell at him “hey stop growing mushrooms in other peoples corners!”

Robert asks…

Question over Big Brother is Watching Everyone.?

It a question in my homework. Here is the article you need to read first and the question is below,

Privacy eroding, bit by byte

Computers, Engineers Find New Ways to Keep Tabs On Us

First there were security cameras, sprouting like mushrooms on street corners and buildings. Then came shopper cards, offering discounts in exchange for details about buying habits.

In recent years, we’ve seen the emergence of electronic tags or “cookies” on the Internet, software that monitors e-mail, GPS devices that pinpoint our position on the planet, and a growing number of machines that capture fingerprints and face prints.

Now comes the news that federal regulators approved the injection of microchips under the skin, enabling physicians with the right gear to know who someone is without having to ask. And yesterday, the omniscient-seeming search engine Google bested itself by announcing a service to probe for information both online and in your own machine. One company official called it a “photographic memory for your computer.”

Google says no personal information will be sent back to the company. But if it feels like you can’t do anything these days without someone looking over your shoulder, you’re not just paranoid. Cheap computers, blazing fast networks and clever engineers are finding more and more ways to keep tabs on where you go and what you buy, generally with your permission. They’re even getting better at guessing what you’ll do next.

“It’s this whole new world. It’s sort of like all these little details about our lives are being recorded,” said Richard M. Smith, an Internet security consultant in Boston. “We love the conveniences. We love the services. But people kind of instinctively know there’s a dark side to this. They just hope it won’t happen to them.”

Smaller, Faster and Cheaper

To be sure, companies have long gathered personal and shopping information to better market to customers, often with dubious results. Who hasn’t received junk mail or telemarketing calls that seem to have no connection with their lives? But those initiatives are fast improving’ and accelerating as people live more of their lives tethered to cell phones, the Internet and the rest of the wired world, where trading off personal information is part of the price of admission.

Think about a typical day. An advertising service is notified when you check the sports scores on the Web. The EZ-Pass transponder signals when you go through a tollbooth. The pharmacy collects personal medication details and sends them along to data companies for analysis. At work, some employees now use face recognition systems to get in to their offices, or they type on machines that trace every keystroke.

“Every move you make is becoming part of your permanent record,” said Peter P. Swire, a privacy expert and law professor at Ohio State University. “The trend is smaller, faster, cheaper.”

Rapid Accumulation

There’s no question the data are accumulating, and faster than many people understand. A few years ago, researchers at the University of California at Berkeley estimated that all the information created by humanity by 1999 would double by about now. One of the leading aggregators of personal information, an Arkansas company called Acxiom Corp., has roughly a million times more information about adult Americans and their families than when it first sold stock two decades ago.

Other commercial information services routinely tout their ability to access some 20 billion records. And that’s not counting the digital details that come in the form of photographs, videotapes and sensor readings. Most people know companies can mine credit card data, loan records and other transactions. But few know that companies already offer video-mining services as well. One day we might be able to mine the information generated by radio frequency identification chip implanted in our arms. Or we might just use a Google search service custom-made for RFID, as the chips are known.

Not everybody is vexed by these trends. Homeland security, law enforcement and intelligence officials are rushing to take advantage of this wealth of information to protect the country. Web sites like Amazon.com, cell phone services, catalogue retailers, financial services companies and many others are increasingly adept at using data systems to serve customers. Ask people whether they’d give up those services, and many would offer a resounding “no.”

David Brin, an author and futurist, believes that recent technological developments have revolutionized the ability of people to see, through cameras around the globe, and remember details through almost unimaginably rich warehouses of information that serve as proxies for our limited memories.

He predicts that we will one day be able to “know” almost everybody in the world through instant access to personal information in ubiquitous dat

GardenersCardiff answers:

The whole concept of Big Brother is scary, and I dont even want to think of the whole “We are being watched” ethos as that kind of nightmare scenario is far too much to even imagine.

But the truth is we are being watched, talk about an unconsenting form of invasion of privacy 🙂
