Here’s something really interesting I found when helping my brother make a creative blog name… so he used 505 in the name which means scheme not supported (how the internet runs)… looking down the list I saw 418 defined as “I’m a teapot”.
Below is a part of the specification for how the underlying technology of webpages work: ————————–——————
Masinter Informational [Page 4]
RFC 2324 HTCPCP/1.0 1 April 1998 ————————–————————–
In practice, most automated coffee pots cannot currently provide
additions.
2.3.2 418 I’m a teapot
Any attempt to brew coffee with a teapot should result in the error
code “418 I’m a teapot”. The resulting entity body MAY be short and
stout.
3. The “coffee” URI scheme
Because coffee is international, there are international coffee URI
schemes. All coffee URL schemes are written with URL encoding of the
UTF-8 encoding of the characters that spell the word for “coffee” in
any of 29 languages, following the conventions for
internationalization in URIs [URLI18N].
When I was in high school, there was one rainy day when everyone seemed to be down. I spent my entire chemistry class making tiny greeting cards that said “=)” on the cover and “Be Happy” on the inside. After my class, I surreptitiously passed them to random people in the hallway. Three periods later, one of my cards was handed back to me by someone whom I didn’t know, who didn’t know that I had made them. MLIG.
Everyone on the blog seems a little grumpy so here is something to cheer you up!

Too stressed? Need some relaxation? Your happy place will help ease your troubles,and make you feel like you’re ready to take on another day. Without using a map to get there,
here are some tips on, “How to be in your happy place.”
Steps
Think of where your happy place is. Where do you feel comfortable? What makes you happy? What do you enjoy doing with your time? Your happy place can be with a relative who has passed away, or you can be in a snow covered field surrounded by birds and trees. Think of what you consider to be “a happy place.”
Relax your body by sitting on your floor, or wherever you’re most comfortable, and start breathing slowly.
Inhale, wait a few seconds, then exhale. Repeat until your body feels at peace. Now turn your relaxation into thinking about your happy place. Now that you’re relaxed, close your eyes, and think of your surroundings. Where are you? Who is there with you, or are you alone?
Remain still breathing slowly, think about the conversations that are going on around you. Listen to the way that your grandmother is laughing, or take in the aroma of your grandfathers stew. Think about things that you love, and the things that you miss.
Concentrate and act as if those people are really there with you. If someone hears you talking to yourself, don’t pay any attention to it, keep your thoughts on where your happy place is.
Tips
If you can’t get away during the day to find your happy place, you can do this while laying in bed, the tub, or while taking a shower.
Trying to find your happy place while doing dishes or cleaning the house may not relax you enough to find your happy place. Your mind will be concentrating on your daily chores, rather than happy thoughts.
If it helps you, use photographs of your loved ones. Set them by you, to remind you of every little detail, their face, eyes, hair, even personality.
If your happy place is on a beach, hold a sea shell in your hands while keeping your eyes closed. Picture yourself bending over to pick that shell up off the sand.
Any little prop or memento will help you find, and be in your happy place, as long as you’re relaxed and focused on where your happy place is, and that you are in that place with people and things that you love, and thoughts that make you happy.
Often times it helps to imagine your loved one and go for a stroll in the park.
Warnings
Do not fall asleep in the bath.
Do not get carried away with being in your happy place.
When you go on vacation this year or any other year with your family, you sometimes get flustered. Even though it seems unable to stop it actually is quite easy. You and everyone else in your family must follow some of these rules.
1. Listen to your Mom and Dad
2. Do not play instead of pack (your mom and dad will probably also say this.)
3. Pack the car with room and if there are unfavored seats, the back, give that space more room even though it doesnt seem like it.
4. Try if you can to bring a movie with a player or even a lot of movies for a long car ride, but MAKE sure that they have watched the movies before.
Now one for in the car.
5. Never start going and put a movie in only put it in for long stretches of empty road.
If you follow these than your ride most likely will be much more enjoyable.

Sports are physical activities usually played with 2 or more people. Sports are not computer games even WII computer games. If sports do not have any physical activates than they will not develop a good character. If sports do have physical activity, Sports will develop good characters because they work some one out, allow people to meet and work with new friends, and they make self confidence.
Sports good character comes sometimes by working the person out. What I mean by working that person out is making them physically tired and being pushed also helps. Pushing someone further than they think that they can go develops good character by teaching making them feel that they can do more. Also making it so that they can easily see improvement makes them want to do it more which makes them better athletes.
Allowing people to make new friends and work with them, which you do in sports, makes them athletes have better character. In sports you usually do it with new people who you don’t know the first day, and you are usually shy with them. But later, you get more confident and less shy. If you know this than you should easily find out that I am trying to say that sports make you less shy. Sports also make you have more new friends, If you do a sport next to your home you might see your new friends a lot and If you have the right equipment than you can play the sport agent them often.
Last, Sports develop good character by devolving self confidence. Self confidence is when you are confidant in your self that you can do something your self and it brings you to understanding your limits. But it also makes you know when you can break a limit or when you can’t push your self any further. Self Confidence also makes you sure that you can do something. All of the reasons help people have a good character by letting them know what they can do.
In sports you work your self out, allow people to meet and work with new friends, and make self confidence all of these make you have a good character. All sports are fun, vigorous, and physical games, Sports, in my opinion, can only be played on the right field if one is needed, not on a computer, and using your own skills to win whatever game you are playing.
