Blogging Experience

This will be my final post. In this post I will be talking about my bloging experiences, such as the difficulties and the rewards of blogging.

Richards change of career fields
I was surprised by the fact that Richard was planning on being a professional hockey player but then changed his career field when he broke both of his arms. Which I find it interesting that he had his career fields changed from hokey to acting after just breaking both of his arms.

Richards sense of adventure
When I read about how Richard road his bike from Missouri to Canada to Alaska or over 5000 miles. It surprised me because for a biker that's far but for someone who doesn't ride bike for competition it is amazing. Because most bikers probably can't ride that far.

Posting with the iPad
I thought it was quite difficult posting with the iPad. Because it always cut off part of my page or it wouldn't let me paste a picture, it also wouldn't let me add hyper links without a problem. Then sometimes I would paste a photo and it would go underneath of what I could see and I pasted another one which meant I had the photo on there twice.

Writing with a minimum of 300 words
It was difficult writing post with a minimum of 300 words because we had to find information on are role model and apply it in an interesting fashion. Which required you giving a factually but interesting opinion on what oh thought of a quote or of the information you found on your role model.

Learning about Richard
I liked how in this research I was able to learn more about my role model as well as write about him.  Which one of the most interesting things I found out about him is that how he rode his bike over 5000 miles.

Getting easier after each post
After getting the first post done and started the next post I noticed that the second post was easier and faster to write. Because I got a sense of what type of writing we had to do. Which I was also more used to how I had to split up the information about Richard with my opinion. Which writing each post got increasingly easier over time.

Well that sums up my blogging experience. Which this is also my final post. Which in this posts I told you about the things that  learned the difficulties and the rewards. Which that is all I have for you on my blogging experience and I hope you liked it. Read more

Ricard Dean Anderson's Five Greatest Accomplishments

I'm going to be getting back to the heart of my blog in this post.  Which in this post I will be talking about what Richard Anderson's five greatest accomplishments.

Accomplishment #5: 5,641 mile bike ride
"Richard took the bike ride from Minnesota to Canada then to Alaska"(Kate R) . Which that is a long to ride a bike, it is also a cold ride because he's going through canda to Alaska which both places are especially cold. To be able to ride the far you have to really determined and strong because you only get to rest for eight hours then your off again.

Accomplishment #4: Star gate Sg-1
Star gate was a tv show that Richard played as a colonel in which he had to rescue agents that of have been imprisoned in other country's. "General Hammond Summons took colonel Jack O'Niel out of retirement to embark on a secret rescue mission"( Read more ).

Accomplishment #3: Grammy
Richard was nominated for nine Grammys and won one. Which I know that doesn't sounds bad because its only one out of ten, but for a Grammy if your nominated it means your pretty good but when you win your really good. But the fact that he got nominated for nine Grammys is amazing because some actors don't even get nominated for one Grammy.

Accomplishment #2: Degree-less success
Richard went to college for over three years and dropped out a few month shy of getting his getting his bachelors degree. After he dropped out he moved to Los Angeles and played as a mime to start out his acting career after that he moved up to playing some small parts in tv shows then started to play major roles.  Now he did all of this without a college degree which is pretty amazing.

Accomplishment #1
Richard tried out for the the role of MacGyver which was the lead role. Right after the audition they signed him up for the contract because they liked him so much. Which I think it's amazing he was so good that he got the role right after the audition. But in the show MacGyver he played as a government agent that had to go on mission to rescue valuable items or important people using the things around him but never used a gun to do it. "MacGyver, the clever and inventive nonviolent hero who solved problems in his own unique way"(Kate R)

Well those in my opinion are Richards 5 top accomplishments and I think there will be more to come in the future. But as far as information on Richard there is not going to be much more new information. The next blog will be reflecting on my expire news with making the blog.

The Benefits and Negatives of Playing Hockey

I'm comparing and contrasting the effects of hockey on your health. Which hockey was one of Richard Anderson's hobbies, so I wanted to to know if he would have gotten adverse health effects.

Fighting in hockey is bad for your health, several hockey players have gotten diagnosed  with brain damage but more specificly they got chronic trauma enecphalophy or CTE for short, CTE is a degenerative disease. Fighting in hockey can cause you to get a concussion. But if the brain moves around to much it will result in a concussion and possible brain damage.

But hockey also has its benefits for your health. Playing hockey can help you stay in shape because you have to make a lot of short burst sprints. Which hockey also requires you to work your whole body and as a result it builds your upper and lower body strength. Hockey requires so much energy that you can use on average 10 calories per minute.

Both articles agreed that playing hockey was good for your health because it uses your whole body.  It also burns a lot of calories.

Both articles disagreed that playing hockey with its current rules is unhealthy. The reasoning is because in article one they talk about how fighting can increases the risk of getting brain damage or can cause you to get a concussion which could turn in to brain damage.

But in article two they don't talk about fighting but about talk about the health benefits. Which one of the health benefits they talked about is how it can build your upper and lower body, also while burning an average of 10 calories per minute.

Which the difference between the two of them is that first article talks about how playing hockey can can cause you to get brain damage. Then it also talks about how hockey shouldn't be played with its current rules. Where as in article two they talk about how hockey can help your health.

I partially agree with both articles but agree with article one on the fact that the fighting rules in hockey should be very strict. But I also agree with article two because hockey is good for your health when your not fighting. As I said in the beginning this is one of Richard Anderson's hobbies and almost become his career and I wanted to figure out what could have happen to his health if he played Professional hockey.
