update Jan. 25

My mentor is finally back and i will be meeting with him next week. I decided to do my paper on "the rise of the t-shirt" thanks to Mr. Migdales help. Because of that I need to find even more websites to add to my paper.

Update

I have yet to meet my mentor. He is in Guatemala right now but should be back next week. I will probably meet with him soon.

He has his own store where he puts graphics on t-shirts and embroidery. They are usually large quantities of t-shirts and most of the time for big companies. However, I am sure that he makes personal t-shirts as well. His store resides in San Fransicsco. I'll update when I see him.

Fiscal Cliff Response

The "Fiscal Cliff" issue is causing huge debate between Democrats and Republicans. They have completely different views on the issue at hand. Democrats believe that they should repeal the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. Republicans, however, believe they should have more spending and extend tax rates for families making less than $450,000.

Google has many things to offer for people who would like to research. I decided to use a specific approach. To find the views of both parties, I added quotation marks to the words fiscal cliff and added the words "democratic", "republican" and "views". I kept receiving unwanted results so I added minus signs to words like "Tzu", "Sun", and "President".
