Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

-

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a book series written by Rick Rordian. The first book, The Lightning Thief was published in 2005 and was later turned into a movie in 2010. It was directed by Chris Columbus,
famous for directing the first two Harry Potter Movies, Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire and more. The movie stars Logan Lerman, Sean Bean and Pierce Brosnan. The movie received a 49% rating on Rotten Tomatoes
and has been criticized by Rick Rordian himself saying that he “would rather have my teeth pulled with no anesthesia” than watch the movies. In this video I sit down with my younger sister Abigail and
make her watch Percy Jackson and the Olympians: the Lightning Thief and get her opinions on the movie vs. the book.

Photo by Regina Cassell The Cassell family has invaded College Avenue! Welcome to Media Bootcamp, Fall 2016 edition! This blog will be a shared blog, and we will all share our thoughts as those who comment and those who post. I'm Regina Cassell, and I will be the leader of this expedition. About Me: My family sold our home of 15 years and moved a mile away to our new home on College Avenue. It was quite the adventure, and I have not fully recovered. I was still clinging to my 20s the last time we moved.  I’ve been at Washburn since July 2000.

WELCOME TO MY FIRST BLOG! photo by Darrin Hartford Darrin Does It I'm very excited to start my new blog and be able to share my vast wealth of information on not only automotive stuff, but household repairs including DIY Pinterest type projects as well.  I definitely have a knack for fixing things, and I hate to say it, but sometimes I like to keep that a secret.  A good handyman should have no problem keeping themselves busy.   I have been taking things  apart as soon as I was able to hold a screwdriver.  For a while I could only successfully take things apart but, as the years went on, I was able to reassemble the things I had taken  apart, much to the joy of my mother.  For whatever reason, she did not enjoy seeing her hair dryer, toaster, TV, microwave, vacuum cleaner...etc. torn apart.  :)   As the years went on, I eventually landed a position in the automotive business as a technician.  I began my career at...

The internet has made many, many wonderful things possible. Yay technology. One of these things is a concept we call crowd sourcing or crowd sharing, etc. Robust user-friendly templates allow users all over the world to begin a fundraising campaign literally in minutes. Let me show you exactly what I mean. Sharon Sullivan is a professor in Washburn's Theatre department. She has a passion for helping empower all kinds of people. One of her heart causes happens to be families who have found themselves battling domestic violence. She has a goal to reach $1,000 for her cause through a website called CrowdRise. Others exist such as GoFundMe, etc. She set up her page and then reached out to her friends through email and Facebook. Check it out:  https://www.crowdrise.com/ywca-ne-ks-purple-purse/fundraiser/sharonsullivan4 As an assignment, please share another way crowdsourcing is used by COMMENTING on this post. (Things other than fundraising.) Please limit your answer to one th...
