Current event
The USNS General Hoyt S. Vandenberg was sunk to create the world’s second largest artificial coral reef for marine life. It took less than two minutes for the 17,250-ton ship to sink to the bottom. “the goal of the $8.6 million dollar project is to divert diving and fishing pressure away from natural reefs, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission”.
Built in 1943 to transport American troops to Japan during WWII, the Vandenberg was decommissioned During the late 80’s and was mothballed in Norfolk, Virginia until recently. The feelings about the scuttling of this ship are those of elation.
The largest ship used to create an artificial reef was the USS Oriskany, which was scuttled in 2006 off the Gulf of Mexico. It was 888 feet long and weighed 32,000 tons, and sank about 212 feet under water.
In my opinion, The navy is doing the right thing in doing this and should continue on doing it.

my eportfolio Financial
What is the best way to make sure you have enough money to pay your bills?
save the unimportant stuff,like ,for later.

Yes, you should open a savings account. You should because It will be a good source of backup money.

my eportfolio technology
I selected a Mac Dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4 2 MB L3 and Flash animation, a program that allows you to create animations, and Firefox for downloading music and sprite sheets, a document that shows many pictures of a video game character in movement used in Flash (I would show you an example, but that would be unprofessional). Music (and sound effects by association) is downloaded from any site that has downloadable music. I figured out how to put music on Flash after a little time, by using the import option, sound effects, and voices were done the same way.
Some question’s I had before involved those old problems I had with music, voices, and sound effects, Like, How do I add sound effects. Sprite sheets just figured themselves out.
Whenever I needed to fix a problem I try to identify the problem and its relevant facts. For example, when I had trouble putting music on a flash animation, it took me months to figure out. First, I organized and gathered as much info about the problem and solution as I could.
So far, I have succeeded in my tries to impress both myself and everyone around me. Others because they thought it was cool during the first week of its true creation, and myself because I thought that by now, I would have given up. I don’t know what I would do if I could go back and re-work it, because I think it’s pretty good.

My eportfolio Personal statement
My name is Cody Hock, and I am 17 years old and go to Mendocino High School, where I have a 3.0 in the last quarter. In the past 4 years I have taken 3 different computer classes, as well as electronics at workability. Most recently, I had a hand in web design, and last year I dabbled in Flash Animation (my favorite part of last year).
I’ve many a Flash Animation under my belt, running from hand-drawn to sprites (a multitude of pictures used for Flash Animation downloaded from the internet). Recently, I learned how to put sound in my Animations, and already knew how to put music in a Flash Animation.
My goals are to, at the fore, go to College of the Redwoods and get in to the graphic design classes. It is a simple goal, but it is a goal nonetheless.
