Elephant Parade London 2010 Elephant Petition Animation

Help Protect the Asian Elephants and their Habitats

Sometime in June I wrote a hub on hubpages about the ELEPHANT PARADE IN LONDON  and asked you guys who read the hub to please sign the petition. Well I got an email today thanking me for signing the petition but there's still more that can be done. I am copying and pasting the email that I received from the Elephant Family (info@elephantfamily.org). Please find the time to go and sign the petition. It really only takes less than one minute and you'd be doing a really good thing for these endangered Asian elephants. 

AUGUST 2010 Dear Leandra You’ve no doubt heard by now, what a jumbo success Elephant Parade London was – over £4million raised, and over 13,000 signatures added to our petition. We want to thank you so much for adding yours! While the hearts and minds of the public have been captivated by Elephant Parade London we wanted to follow up our success with a short animated video as a thanks and call for further support. Although the elephants have disappeared from London, we still need help to make sure they don’t disappear from Asia. You can help us again. Watch our video here. We urgently need a minimum of 100,000 people to sign the petition by Christmas time. How can you help? Share the video on facebook and twitter, and forward this email to your family, friends and colleagues. The more signatures we get the more Elephant Family can do. We'll be able to deliver the petition to 10 Downing Street and demand a debate in the House of Commons. And as you'll see in the video, that's just the beginning.  Massive population growth and the escalating destruction of habitat is forcing the Asian elephant into ever decreasing pockets of land. Unable to roam free, they are coming into daily conflict with humans, with suffering on both sides. They are simply running out of space and time. Only government intervention and the protection of habitat can save them now.  Thank you for your support. Yours sincerely, Dan Bucknell, Head of Conservation and Campaigns

Okay so as you can see their goal is 100,000 signatures by Christmas time. Please head on over and sign the petition. Just click HERE for the petition. 


Okay so I hope you head on over and do this. Thanks so much.

Anyone else addicted to Facebook Family Feud?

When facebook first started with all the games - like Farmville and build your garden and I'm seeing Frontierville etc I ignored it all.. stayed far away from them. I thought they were all a waste of time and well really not every interesting. Maybe I was too judgement... especially since I did not bother to even try any of them... until I saw Family Feud. Oh gosh. I curse the day I started playing that. Now I am addicted to it .. oh wait before I go into that I have to admit I started of being addicted to the facebook texas holdem poker game. That's where it started and for months I played poker on facebook. I love playing cards and poker is one of those games I enjoy tremendously. Then that fizzled out and I eventually just forgot all about it. 


Now I'm on to Family Feud. I know, just like facebook poker, this too is just a passing phase but gosh - I think it's taking to long to past as far as I am concerned. It's time consuming. I should be spending this time writing a hub for hubpages or answering questions on webanswers, earning my online money with google adsense instead of playing silly Family Feud but I can't help it. Now I am at a stage where I bought all the prizes I could for a particular stage and the remaining prizes have to be won for me to advance to a next level where I get to earn more free episodes. Mind you, I won't ever get so addicted or desperate that I will pay for any of the episodes. Just so you know. Anyways so I am patiently (not so patient actually) waiting to win this last Greek God prize so that I can redeem my close to 100,000 points (yay me!) for prizes in level three. 


Just thought I'd share that with you guys. So is there anyone else out there that's addicted to this facebook application? Damn facebook!

Have a good night folks.

Leading Questions

Again, I'm sorry I am so bad at this blogging. I just emailed an assignment to my tutor for that TESOL course I keep rambling about. It's been a while since I worked on an assignment and I got an extension. True Trini style I am late with completing the course but I blame it on the travelling I do :-) I mean when I go home to visit I can't be expected to spend time doing assignments... not when there are family and friends to hang out with and delicious food to be eaten... yup doubles, curry duck, dhal and rice, macaroni and yummy Chinese food! 


Okay so now I am back to boring Brasil so I have time to spend doing my assignments. You know it takes a while to get started but once I do I will get back into the swing of things. Plus I am dying to start working on a video with lots of animals from when I visited the Houston Zoo and the Sea Aquarium in June/July! I already have songs to use in the video and I'll get to do some scrapbooking.


So the title of this blog post is leading questions. I am not sure if that is the correct term but I am referring to questions that the "asker" knows the answer to but the response is one that might hurt his/her feelings and yet they ask it anyways. What kind of thing is that? I observed this happening over the last few months but I never got down to writing about it. 
Let me see if I can give some examples. "I am getting the feeling you don't want to go, do you mind going?" What do you say to that. No I don't want to go and yes I mind? Yeah right! Uuum oh gosh I had really good examples before but now I can't seem to remember them. 


Anyways I will update this blog post if it is I remember some more. So folks out there, I don't think this type of questioning is fair and I think that you should keep in mind when asking people questions whether 1) You really want the honest to God truth (so as not to put the person in a situation where he/she has to lie) and 2) If you know the answer already ... stop wasting precious time asking silly questions! Just let it go and move on! 


Okay so there you go. I am sure I have confused many of you and I am being kind of cryptic but it's best to write this way and avoid trouble later :-) 


I'm back!

I'm bad at this blogging!

I know it's been a while since my last blog post but I've been busy and taking a little break from my online stuff. I spent a wonderful weekend doing things my husband and I love including going to the Zoo. So now I am working on a video with the pictures as well as doing a little scrapbooking. I am also trying to complete as many TESOL assignments as I can because I am going to be very, very busy from this afternoon so I might not get time to do much blogging until next week. 


A friend of mine - Tricia - asked me to do a blog posting on marriages and causes of divorces. Trish, I am sorry I haven't gotten around to this as yet. I'll try. I promise. I will have to do research first seeing that I don't really have experience in that field. 


Well have a great week guys. I plan to shop and take lots of photos :-)

Digital Cameras 2010

Oh I am so confused! I need to get a new camera and I am not sure which camera is the best one on the market - there are so many. I am looking for a digital camera with around a 12x zoom or more, 10 mega pixels or more, takes great photos (okay so that's up to me as well) but I want one that get's good scenery photos as well as people shots. I love Panasonic Lumix cameras but this morning I saw an ad on television for the Olympus Pen something camera and OMG it looks great but it can cost around 599US ... more than my budget covers.... and it might be just a little too bulky.. I'm not sure. 


Oh well.. if any of you out there have any recommendations - I'm open to suggestions!!! Please? 


Oh and Victoria Secret SEMI ANNUAL SALE starts tomorrow! Woo Hoo!

Have a great week.
