Chipmunk

Eight inches tall with an 18-inch wingspan. It has dark brown plumage, brown and white vertical breast streaks, and no ear-tufts with yellow orange eyes and white “glasses”. Thousands of this seemingly tame, fearless little owl migrate from Canada south through Maine to points south in winter, but some reside in the state throughout the year. Like the screech owl, it nests in tree cavities and will use a nest box. It prefers dense coniferous and broad-leaved forests next to water. It eats small…

West got his start producing hit singles for Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, and Ludacris. Soon after, he began producing records including Purple Haze by Cam’ron. Kanye West’s unique sound stood up to the popular “gangsta rap” beats. He became known for his “chipmunk soul” sound in which he sampled 70’s and 80’s soul songs and tuned up the pitch. After producing enough albums, he decided to make one of his own. In 2004, West debuted with The College Dropout. Referencing to West’s status as a college…

One fall day, on a cool, crisp morning it was quiet enough to hear an acorn fall from the trees, making a soft plunk plunk sound on a nearby leaf. My family and I journeyed out into the deep muddy woods that was sparkling from the way the sun was hitting the fresh dew. The sun was reflecting off our Ranger just right to make it look a sparkly, vibrant shade of red. We were driving on bumpy, muddy trails to check the trail cameras, which were hanging on the trees with a strap and a bright…

temperatures was absolutely positively insane, and the fact that we have kept this tradition for so many years makes the rest of us positively as insane as they were. The funny part was that to make it fun and goofy we dressed up as Alvin and the chipmunks. Ok it wasn’t originally our idea to dress up, it was also part of the tradition to dress up or some something equally as funny. Most guys went in some form of drag and most girls wore anything that let them have on as much clothing as…

Many film adaptations and spoofs have been produced throughout the decades with regards to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Even though not one of these will live up to the legacy that is Frankenstein, it is interesting to see in what ways they have honored the original piece. Animated films bring their own unique perspective to the table. This is a result of the majority of these movies being meant for children and, in turn, not portraying the correct physical appearance. However, the movies are…

Ferry Beach State Park is located in Saco Maine, between Old Orchard Beach and Camp Ellis. The park is nestled on 117 acres of beautiful land ranging from forested areas with luscious trees, to white sand beaches. One of the most popular draws to the park are the hiking trails where you can spend an afternoon taking in the awe inspiring views of the different eco systems that have made themselves at home and flourished. The trails are littered with man-made bridges that perch you above the floor…

four productions on Jay-Z’s album called The Blueprint, which is widely regarded as one of the greatest rap albums of all time (Channel 4, 2017). Kanye used a popular sampling technique of speeding up samples at that time which I can describe as a “chipmunk soul” style. He adapted it from Wu-Tang Clan’s producer known as RZA and it quickly became Kanye’s signature. The typical example is the song called “Izzo (H.O.V.A)”, which was a Billboard Top 10, where he used the sample from the Jackson…

Looking back at my childhood through present day, I would have to say that Priest Lake, Idaho is the one place that has impacted me, and my views on our environment the most. It is my special place. Growing up my family spent a lot of time during the summer up at Priest Lake. We then began spending our Thanksgivings there, renting cabins for 3 days and just enjoying family time, playing card and board games, listening to music, cooking lots of food, and playing in the snow, if it happened to…

All of the people known and loved could vanish in just two to five days. The Black Death was a fast moving disease that began in Europe and was the worst epidemic to ever face earth’s people. There were many theories for how this came about, but no one knew for sure. There were a couple different ways that the disease could spread, but all ended in dreadful symptoms. The doctors tried a few things, but nothing truly helped. The disease moved too quickly to be able to do anything about it. Does…
