I've been at this blogging gig for a year now. Unfortunately, much of what I "confessed" on my freshman page about my ignorance in the technical field of running a blog still rings true. As a busy mom of three, I've poured all my blogging energies into writing. I still haven't learned how to customize my header, work with code, or even explore all the options my web host provides. I'm afraid to click on all the cool icons my administration control panel offers. What if I blow up my whole website? Basically, in the web design field, I'm barely getting by as a sophomore. I'm riding off the coattails of other's templates, as clueless about the technology behind it as I am about how my cell phone works when I text, talk, and take pictures. If they had a Jitterbug version of websites, that would probably be the one recommended for me.
But, I think I have been growing as a blogger despite these serious flaws. I have become a more outgoing cyber-friend. Here are some of the blessings that have come this year from blogging that I shared previously in an article, Public Journaling:
Open Eyes— There is such a great world of people out there beyond your regular circles of family, friends, co-workers and acquaintances. The mystery of the blogosphere has helped me to see beyond my small world in a whole new way.
A More Reflective Heart– Since I am now disciplined in the art of writing articles, I have been able to slow down and process my thoughts better. I am always trying to take what I learn and the experiences I have and strain them through what I call the gospel colander. It has been such a blessing to my own soul.
Humility—Putting yourself out there is just plain scary. I am learning so much about finding my significance in Christ—not readers, publishers, comments, or great articles. My hope is that others will know more of him through my writing. Which leads to…
Boldness to Share—Every time I hit the "Publish" button, I cringe. Blog stands for "web log." It is public journaling so to speak. While I certainly don't share as personally as I would in a private journal, it is still a very vulnerable act for me. Along with this, my formal education (aside from some great elective courses) is not in writing. My degree is in elementary education and art. And when I graduated, I didn't want to teach little kids. I wanted to open a coffee shop. So I did. As I had more kids, I have been a stay-at-home housewife. To call myself a writer is a bit of an overstatement.
Growth—God has been molding me through this process in ways that I never could have imagined. I am so thankful for his work of sanctification in my life. While I know I have a long way to go, I am even more confident in his faithfulness to transform me for my future state of glory.
Celebration of God's Word—It is such a joy to write about God's Word and share it with others. It is also a joy to share how other people are teaching his word through their writings.
My Readers–While I certainly don't have a huge following, I am thankful to have readers. And like Nick Cage said on Family Man, "I have good ones." It is a bit discouraging at times to see how small of a percentage of readers comment on the material. But the contributors I do have are such a blessing to me. They enhance my writing with their great comments. I am thankful to have an awareness of how my writing is being received and reflected upon by what they share. I have new people to pray for, and to look forward to meeting at least on that great day when we all shall worship our Lord together. And they have no idea how they are encouraging me in my walk.
Dependence on God—Seriously, I didn't even care to have a Facebook account before I started this blog. I am not technologically savvy, and I do not have the time that I should be putting into learning about how to get more blog exposure and how to make my site look awesome. But my goal isn't to be the best blogger out there. I've been focusing the time I do have on the content of the writing. Arranging this genre of writing into my housewife schedule has been an adjustment. Through all of this, I am driven to pray more fervently and trust in God to point me in the right direction.
As a sophomore, I am finding my niche as a housewife theologian. In some ways, I think I will always be a sophomore, that is in the etymology of the word. One of the theories is that it's the combination of two Greek words: sophos, meaning wise, and moros, meaning foolish and dull. Sophomores should recognize they are merely second-year. While they continue to grow in wisdom, they should respect the more experienced who have tread before them. As a Christian, I should always recognize my own inadequacies, looking to One who gives all wisdom.

As the shenanigans of each episode of Fear Factor draw to a close, host Joe Rogan enlightens viewers by announcing to the winner, "Evidently fear was not a factor for you." That line has been repeated enough over the past five seasons to become a catch phrase of sorts that reflects the show's success. In the cutthroat world of reality TV, that's an awfully long time to survive, and it has no doubt imparted its host with some monetary flexibility with which to buy steel-crafted toys of hedonism.
Most Hollywood celebs opt for blinged-out Hummer H2s, Bentleys, traditional wanker exotics, and (gag!) trendy gas-electric hybrids, but Rogan did the right thing and had Rad Rides by Troy build him a '70 Barracuda. The car means more to him than the average ego-carriage, as it pays tribute to a clunker Mopar his mom gave him before he made it big. In a way, it symbolizes how far he's come since the days of touring the country as a fledgling stand-up comic.
No doubt, the car had to be truly unique to capture the sentimentality it represented. Few builders are as well known as Troy Trepanier. Being the darling of the automotive press and a fixture on the hit TV series Rides has a way of doing that, and his list of celebrity clients grows by the day.
We already broke the news that Troy's working on a drop-top '67 Lincoln Continental to sweeten that World Series trip for Boston Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez. In addition to the inherent stress of delivering a hallowed E-body that justifies the six-figures-and-then-some price tag, the crew had to work within a tight six-month timeframe to coincide with its scheduled debut on Bud Brutsman's Rides show on TLC. That was the bad part. The good part was a relatively big budget to exercise creativity, with the only criterion being "make it cool." Ah, the beauty of a double-edged sword.
A big part of making that deadline was starting out with a car in relatively good shape. Again, it was a rather laissez-faire process for Joe. He told Rad Rides what he wanted, and they went out and bought a car to start with for $13,000-one that was mostly rust-free and straight, save for a pair of dinged-up quarters. In trademark Trepanier fashion, the host of subtle visual cues aren't recognizable at first glance, but their individual elements become more prominent upon closer study and more innovative when considering the craftsmanship they required. It ultimately hits you as a brilliant artistic statement. The most obvious change is the AAR 'Cuda hood, not often seen in shiny paint, and the cotton-gauze air cleaner peeking out from its flared scoop. Further enhancing the hungry-look theme is a custom front lower valance that integrates a scoop of its own surrounded by more AAR-like winglets on both sides. Widened and mounted flush, the front bumper is from a (forgive him) '69 Camaro.
Moving rearward, hints of change are far less apparent and the overall look is more subdued. To hide the ugly stock stamped subframe, Rad Rides lowered the rocker panels accordingly, creating an illusion of the car squatting lower than it really is. Out back, a custom roll pan blends into the quarter-panels as if crafted from a single piece of steel. The rear bumper and taillights get the flush-mount treatment as well, and a custom rear spoiler complements the newly chiseled lines. Blemishes like the door handles, side-marker lights, and emblems have been shaved for a flawless complexion. We hear that a subtle paint scheme was planned until Rogan saw the bare-metal work-in-progress on our Oct. '04 cover and liked it in plain silver. Besides, judging by looking at all three of this month's feature cars, silver is the new red.
From the outside, the implication of Sick Fish is clearly one of modern sophistication. Dig beneath the skin, however, and an animal emerges that satiates our visceral desire to accelerate like a rocket sled. Nestled into an engine bay that's blacked-out, Chevy style, is a fuel-injected, 650hp, 528ci Mopar Performance crate Hemi, which happens to be the very same engine plucked from HOT ROD's Troy-built Hemi Dakota truck before it went to the crusher. The Elephant mates to a Bowler-built 727 automatic tied to a Gear Vendors under/overdrive, providing six forward gears. Finishing off the driveline is a 3.54:1-geared Strange Engineering Mopar-style Dana 60 rearend swinging from a custom four-link suspension extensively modified to accommodate the pavement-hugging ride height.
Rogan has no performance data on the car yet, but we think it would make for a good episode of Fear Factor and serve as retribution for all the times Joe has antagonized his contestants as they contemplate eating live Madagascar roaches, or as they tremble before walking on a 3-inch-wide beam suspended hundreds of feet in the air. Imagine: Put Rogan in the right seat as Nextel Cup driver and SoCal resident Jimmie Johnson puts the 'Cuda through its paces on the oval at California Speedway, just inches away from the wall. If, after a dozen or so laps, Rogan can keep from soiling himself, we could shake his hand and say, "Evidently fear was not a factor for you."So Joe, Jimmy, and NBC, what do you say?

I was so overwhelmed at the end of A Thousand Splendid Suns, I stood up from my bed, just so I could collapse dramatically on the floor, in one delicate free fall for the women of Afghanistan. I read Alive, a book so much more shockingly graphic than the movie, I woke every night in a cold sweat convinced I was trapped in an Andes plane crash. And I read The Lovely Bones on a train, mostly, rocking back and forth in my window seat for days. I finished that book, clutched it like a goddamn baby and stared out the window crying.
Bearing in mind that after I saw Titanic, I was so moved I was unable to speak for over an hour, my credibility in the realm might be shot. But I saw The Lovely Bones today and I loved it.
I really, really loved it.
Once I got past the Marky "say hi to your mother" Mark voice, I cried through the whole thing. Sure parts are different from how I imagined them when I read the book, a lot obviously had to be cut, the heaven parts are a little weird. But I'm so glad I vetoed the purists who claim Peter Jackson ruined Alice Sebold's masterpiece.
I don't particularly understand why people sabotage their movie experiences. If you want something to suck badly enough, because the book will always be better or the director is a nerd, well then, duh. I walked in there hoping to love The Lovely Bones in spite of the shitty reviews I'd heard. I adored the book so much and my God, Stanley Tucci plays Mr. Harvey.
I just had to go.
Were my hours on that train with that book better than the movie.
Is the movie lovely and haunting anyway, reminding me of how much I loved reading the book?
I certainly thought to so.
But then again, I re-watch Simon Birch like, once a month...

Nikki's Project PHX Home
House Call
Name: Nikki
Location: Phoenix, Arizona
We moved into our Arcadia Neighborhood home about two years ago and have been remodeling ever since. Our house is a 1950's ranch style and had been vacant for over a year.
When we moved in we had to remove over a dozen trees, re-paint every room, tear down walls and remodel the bathrooms and office. It's still a work in progress, but we love it.
We were on a budget, so the majority of the furnishings are from thrift stores that we furbished to meet our needs.
I blog about our remodel and little family at Project PHX Home.
Thanks, Nikki!

Love the idea of sourcing items from thrift stores and refurbishing. I am trying to do more of that in our rental instead of buying everything brand new! Although I do still love me some Ikea.
~Shoestring Chick~
It's a very nice house, you did so much nice work.
Nice sofas.

text: DEMOCRACY IN PAKISTAN An Essay by ALI IQBAL "Government of the people, by the people, for the people" This is what Lincoln has to say about Democracy. The above statement of this great statesman says it all. A form of Government which is made for the people by the people around and it consist of the people from within. It is the most basic form of Government which is praised by many in our times. The adults have their say in the important decision making of their lives and this is how the rules of the Government are made. The adults of a nation give their votes to the leader and the leaders then drive the Government for the betterment of the people. This is what Democracy is all about but it is not in the purest of its form at this moment. A huge total of 167 countries in the world are running under the form of Government which is called Democracy and Pakistan is one of those countries. Different types of democracies prevail in Pakistan at different times. The constitution of Pakistan is now a backing a Parliamentary form of Government but in the previous constitutions like 1962 and 1956, we had Presidential form of Government. The constitution at this moment is an amended version of 1973, which is following the Parliamentary form of Government. According to Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the Quaid-e-Azam, "Pakistan is made for the betterment of the people living in it. People will themselves select their Leader and it's the responsibility of the Leader to fulfill the needs of the people and work day and night for this Motherland." From the day of inception of Pakistan, the people are struggling for a better form of Government and they have selected Democracy as the best one. But it's a misfortune for the people of Pakistan that the democracy could not continue for long and it is derailed off and on. Military rules have dented Pakistan's Democracy 3 times in the history of just 65 years. People like Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto struggled a lot for the revival and sustainability of Democracy. According to him, "People of Pakistan deserve better fortune when it comes to Democracy. It is a great nation and Democracy is the best system for this nation. Let the Democracy prevail and see the Nation flourish in front of your eyes." In another address, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto explained the importance of Democracy for Pakistan "The only solution for the problems of Pakistan is the sustainability of Democracy. This will help reducing the monsters like Corruption, Poverty, illiteracy and unemployment and Pakistan can get back to the track of prosperity." According to the Democratic index of 2011, Pakistan is on the 106th number in the world with a democratic score of just 4.55. Norway is at the top of the chart with a score of above 9.5. When we see the poverty index, we see Norway at the top with least poverty and Pakistan is above 100th ranking again. We can clearly see a connection between democracy and poverty reduction. According to Prosperity Democracy theory by Robert Petric: "A country having a better ranking in the Democratic index will be having a better ranking in the Poverty reduction index. So there is a connection in both and we can clearly obtain a result that Democracy is a solution for poverty reduction in a nation." The actual democratic states are the one which are also the welfare states. The states like Norway, Denmark and Finland are the welfare states. The people select the people who are going to lead the country and the people then work hard for the betterment of the people who select them. They work for the welfare of the people and take the leadership as a pure responsibility towards the state and towards the people as well. Leaders in Pakistan also promise the well being of the people of Pakistan in their speeches. They use to use the word 'Welfare State' for Pakistan but still they are unable to perform the same. According to Mian Nawaz Shareef, "We will make Pakistan a Welfare state through our policies and hard work". Still Pakistan is waiting for this promise to be fulfilled. General Pervez Musharraf dethroned Nawaz Shareef to capture the steering of the Government. It was the time when the leaders of Pakistan who support Democracy came up and started yelling about the importance of Democracy. Benazir Bhutto also started her campaign against this brutal act of Musharraf and asks the people of Pakistan to help them keep democracy on track. In an address, Benazir Bhutto once said, "This act by Gen. Pervez Musharraf turned out to be a real brutal act towards the prosperity of Pakistan. People of Pakistan need their mandate to be given respect and Musharraf has tortured the mandate under his boots. Let the Democracy prevail in Pakistan". Many people didn't like the act of dethroning the democracy in Pakistan but many had other views. According to a school o thought, Musharraf overpowered Nawaz Shareef for the betterment of the country which is the real crux behind the concept of Democracy. Democracy means the betterment and prosperity of the nation and Musharraf did it well. Nawaz Shareef government was indulged in Corruption which was the reason of its discontinuation. According to an article in The World Today by Senior Columnist, "On paper, Musharraf's act was not praised as it was the discontinuation of Democracy in Pakistan but in real sense he followed the rules of Democracy in his regime. People get jobs, HDI get better, Foreign direct investments increase, people get prosperous and Pakistan was doing good, which is the real democracy." This article started a new debate in the corners of the country. People started thinking what actually is democracy? Is it the way we select the Leaders or is it the way they actually run Government? Is our prosperity important or the system? Is the system built for the people or the people are made for the system? These questions are still unanswered and these are the real talking points about the system of government. According to the thinkers and decision makers, Democracy is still the best revenge. It is the best form of Government in a country like Pakistan. According to many of those, it is an extension of the form of Government which was established in Islamic states at the time of Khalifa. 4 caliphates followed Prophet Muhammad PBUH, and all of them were selected or elected through different forms. After the death of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, each one of the four Caliphs who ruled after him, differed from one another about the leadership. Let us briefly examine what they did: 1- Abu Baker was elected by the majority of the Muslims right after the death of Prophet Muhammad. He however, served until he died. 2- Omar was given the leadership by Abu Baker. Muslims were not given the opportunity to vote for Omar or for anyone else. Omar was imposed upon them. 3- Uthman became the leader in an awkward way. Omar had 6 elected representatives from the Muslims, and he purposely made their number even, to vote for the next Caliph or leader, because Omar was very sick and was about to die. Three of those representatives voted for Uthman and the other three voted for somebody else. Ironically, Omar brought his son, who had no political influence or power and didn't represent anyone what so ever, and he had him choose between Uthman and his competitor. Omar's son chose Uthman, and this is how Uthman became the leader. 4- Ali became the leader after revolutionists killed Uthman for causing so much corruption by bringing his family to power and gave them all kinds of wealth from the Muslims' State's Wealth. They simply voted for him and he became the leader. Hell broke loose after wards, because Muslims thought that Ali killed Uthman. The famous battle of Camel was declared and around 60,000 Muslim lives were lost in that terrible war. So, there are different schools of thought on it. Some people say that the system in Pakistan is not according to the teaching and preaching of Islam but many of them think that the democracy in Pakistan is the extension of the Islamic laws. We cannot deny any of these two schools of thought. The citizens of Pakistan are important component of the Democracy in the country. They choose their leaders through voting and the leaders then steer the Government in their own way. So, citizen can be blamed if the democracy in the Pakistan is not working well. They are the one who are responsible for the selection, so they are the base of the system. They should select people who are more capable and better among all. How can they blame the Government when they are the one who chose them? According to Churchill, "Citizens are the most important component of Democracy. They need to strengthen themselves up if they want democracy to be strong. They should choose better people among themselves, who will then run the country for them." Women also play a very important role in democracy and its continuation. It was Magna Carta when Women got their right to vote for the first time. Then many revolutions see the continuation of this act and Pakistan also have this right in their constitution. Women are a very important component of the Pakistani model of democracy. They have reserved seats in National assembly as well as in senate. There are many prominent names in the history of Pakistan who worked really hard for the sustainability of democracy in Pakistan. Many of them went to Jail. Benazir Bhutto went to exile for the struggle for democracy. She was the first even female prime minister in South East Asia. So, Pakistani model of democracy has a real impact of women on it. Role of Minorities in Pakistani Model of Democracy is also worth appraising. They have their reserved seats as well. They got the right to vote in the constitution of Pakistan in 1962. From then on, we can see the struggle by the minorities for the democracy in Pakistan. We have seen people like Kamran Micheal who worked very hard for democracy. According to Nawaz Shareef, "Minorities in Pakistan are a very important component of our democracy. We cannot forget the role they are playing for the betterment of the country and also for the continuation struggle of democracy in Pakistan." Youth are the future nation builders of Pakistan. From the day of inception of Pakistan, youth have been working really hard for the betterment of the country and at this moment, we can see the real spark of youth in our political system. Many people believe that they will be the turning point of these elections. Youth is the 65% of the country's population, and this is where the importance is. According to Quaid-e- Azam, "We need our youth to be politically aware and sensitized towards the Nation building. They are the future and the future needs to be bright for Pakistan." Youth's struggle in different campaigns like Judiciary campaign can never be forgotten and this is one proof of their important role in the Pakistani model of democracy. On a concluding note, we can say that Democracy is one of the best system of Government for Pakistan, according to many. It is denied by many critics on sound bases but still Pakistan need its continuation for the betterment of the country. We really need to work hard for the better system implementation of Democracy in Pakistan which is the dire need of this time.

Confidence-Enhanced Performance
AbstractThere is ample evidence that emotions affect performance. Positive emotions can improve performance, while negative ones may diminish it. For example, the fears induced by the possibility of failure or of negative evaluations have physiological consequences (shaking, loss of concentration) that may impair performance in sports, on stage or at school. There is also ample evidence that individuals have distorted recollection of past events, and distorted attributions of the causes of successes of failures. Recollection of good events or successes is typically easier than recollection of bad ones or failures. Successes tend to be attributed to intrinsic aptitudes or own effort, while failures are attributed to bad luck. In addition, these attributions are often reversed when judging the performance of others. The objective of this paper is to incorporate the first phenomenon above into an otherwise standard decision theoretic model, and show that in a world where performance depends on emotions, biases in information processing enhance welfare.

Greenleaf just announced this years Spring Fling kit and contest. The kit is very cute—a beach house kind of vibe. Its only 19.99 for the base kit which is pretty affordable for those on the budget. Best part is that if you finish it, you can enter in the contest too.
You all remember that awesome Japanese Tea house I posted and fell in love with a bit ago. Well, it was an entry in Greenleaf's Spring Fling Contest and came in first! You can go see it and all the other entries here.

Greenleaf Glencroft Dollhouse
Would replicate my home to look like this old doll house in a heartbeat.
This is not an old dollhouse. Its a kit sold by Greenleaf and is still available.
So I've often mentioned my "big" houses, but I actually got around to taking a picture of one. This is big tudor Harrison by Greenleaf. My grandparents picked it up cheap at a garage sale and helped me fix it up. As you can see, it needs a bit of fixing up again.
(Source: sillythingsiwanttodo)
Quite the variety—most of these are still commercially available.
Not only a contest, but a pretty good deal on their newest kit. I mean $500 gift certificate would be nice, but $18.95 + free shipping for a one room get is a good price.
Lots of possibilities here too—farmer's market, cafe, craft store, garden shed, summer cottage…
Dollhouse by Jo Medvenics. This is a wonderful example of what can be achieved with a kit.

Light rays that are parallel to the principal axis of a concave mirror converge at a specific point on its principal axis after reflecting from the mirror. This point is known as the principal focus of the concave mirror
Question 2: The radius of curvature of a spherical mirror is 20 cm. What is its focal length?
Focal length =R/2=20cm /2 = 10cm
Question 3: Why do we prefer a convex mirror as a rear-view mirror in vehicles?
We prefer a convex mirror as a rear-view mirror in vehicles because it gives a wider field of view, which allows the driver to see most of the traffic behind him. Convex mirrors always form a virtual, erect, and diminished image of the objects placed in front of it.
Question 4: A concave mirror produces three times magnified (enlarged) real image of object placed at 10 cm in front of it. Where is the image located?
Here a concave mirror produces three times magnified (enlarged) real image
So, m=-3 and u = -10cm
Þ -v/u = -3 Þ -v/-10=-3 Þ v = - 30cm
Here, the negative sign indicates that an inverted image is formed in front of the given concave mirror at a distance of 30 cm
Question 5: A ray of light travelling in air enters obliquely into water. Does the light ray bend towards the normal or away from the normal? Why?
The light ray bends towards the normal because water is optically denser than air.
Question 6: Light enters from air to glass having refractive index 1.50. What is the speed of light in the glass? The speed of light in vacuum is 3 × 10 8 m/s.
Speed of light in the glass = Speed of light in vacuums x refractive index of glass =3 × 10 8 m/s x 1.50=2x108m/s
As we know that Optical density of any medium is directly proportional to the refractive index of that medium.Therefore, diamond has the highest optical density and air has the lowest optical density.
Question 8: You are given kerosene, turpentine and water. In which of these does the light travel fastest? Use the information given in Table (see NCERT Book)
As we know that velocity of light is inversely proportional to the refractive index of that medium. It can be observed that water has the lowest refractive index Therefore; light travels the fastest in water.
Question 9: The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. What is the meaning of this statement?
The refractive index of diamond is 2.42. This suggests that the speed of light in diamond will decreases 2.42 times to the speed of light in air.
Question 10: Define 1 dioptre of power of a lens.
1 dioptre is the power of a lens having focal length 1 meter Hence, 1 D = 1 m-1
Question 11: A convex lens forms a real and inverted image of a needle at a distance of 50 cm From it. Where is the needle placed in front of the convex lens if the image is equal to the size of the object? Also, find the power of the lens.
Solution: We know that the convex lens form a real image of equal the size of the object if object placed at 2F in front of Lense.
Distance of object u = - 50cm As Distance image = 50 cm
Using the lens formula you can find Focal length =25cm= 0.25m
Then, the power of the given lens = 1/f=1/0.25= +4 D
Question 12: Find the power of a concave lens of focal length 2 m.
The power of the given lens = 1/f=1/-2= -0.5 D
Question 13: The image formed by a concave mirror is observed to be virtual, erect and larger than the object. Where should be the position of the object?
When an object is placed between the pole and focus of a concave mirror virtual, erect, and larger than the object image is formed.
Question 14: Where should an object is placed in front of a convex lens to get a real image of the size of the object?
An object is placed at the centre of curvature in front of a convex lens to get a real image of the equal size of the object at the centre of curvature.
Question 15: A spherical mirror and a thin spherical lens have each a focal length of -15 cm. The mirror and the lens are likely to be------------
Solution: Concave in nature because the focal length of a concave mirror and a concave lens are taken as negative.

Charles Jencks is the American landscape architect and designer behind this incredible flight of stairs. Called The Universe Cascade, it has 25 landings that mark the important shifts in cosmic history. Starting at the top, in the present day, and descending down, visitors are moving through 13 billion years of cosmic evolution. The steps finally disappear into the dark water below, which represents the mystery of the origin of the universe.
Kinetic Rain installation in Singapore airport by ART+COM
Jencks' latest project is in northern England and is called Northumberlandia (the "Goddess of the North"). Commissioned by a UK coal-mining company, Jencks is creating to a giant land goddess sculpture that's 112 feet high and 1,300 feet long. Due for completion in 2013, it will be the world's largest human form sculpted into the landscape.

WWE has started teasing the upcoming release of the Paul Heyman DVD, which will be called The Paul Heyman story. The company plans on making the documentary of the former ECW owner available to the public some time in August of this year.
WWE has contacted Jim Ross for some work. The longtime commentator is being brought back into the fold to help out with the upcoming Paul Heyman DVD being produced. The belief is that he will be telling some stories on the former ECW owner.
All signs are pointing to WWE working on a brand new Ultimate Warrior DVD, one that will not mock him like the previous one. There are talks that it will be released around Wrestlemania time to coincide with a possible induction ceremony.
With Heath Slater being given time off for personal reasons, WWE has chosen Ricardo Rodriguez as his replacement in 3MB. Rodriguez worked a match with Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre at the big Madison Square Garden show this week.
Ricardo Rodriguez, who has been training a lot lately to become an in ring performer for WWE, has revealed that he will be working the TLC pay per view tonight. However, he will simply be working with the Spanish announce team.
Ricardo Rodriguez, who has not been utilized much on television since the departure of Rob Van Dam, has been training on his in ring skills. The California native wants to wrestle for WWE in the near future.
WWE has been testing out Ricardo Rodriguez as a backstage agent as of late.
Despite not being utilized on television by WWE, Ricardo Rodriguez is being flown in for the European Tour.
With a little help from Ricardo Rodriguez, Alberto Del Rio successfully defend the World Heavyweight Championship against the Big Show at Elimination Chamber 2013. He won via submission with the armbreaker.

Moulin de la Roque
Noves, France -
Vacation Villas
Historical Mill and Estate
in the heart of Provence
LOCATED IN THE HEART OF PROVENCE you are in an artist's paradise. There are so many subjects to choose from for a painter/artist that you will have a difficult time getting to them all. You just have to drive down any road and you will see olive groves, vineyards, fields of brilliant purple lavender, bright red poppies, yellow sunflowers, and ochre tinted wheat. The colors of Provence are an inspiration in every artist's palette; and artists flock here in the thousands just to experience the real thing.
PROVENCE is also known for the purity and brilliance of its sunlight, a fact that was not lost on artists such as Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cézanne and a host of other masters of the impressionist movement who lived and painted here. You will not find conditions such as this anywhere else in the world. The atmosphere is incredibly unique and will inspire you and your group like no other as you capture what you see and create your own impressions on the canvas.
MOULIN DE LA ROQUE is the perfect location. It is just minutes from scores of quaint picturesque villages like Saint-Rémy de Provence, Gordes, Roussillon, Luberon, Menerbes, Bonniuex, Lourmarin, and many more. You and your students will love taking advantage of the wonderfully colorful daily markets in these towns as well as studying the rich ancient architecture and charming elements, the cafes, flowers, awnings and umbrellas, all so characteristic of the area.
THE SEASIDE is also just 60 miles away from the Estate. The Côte d'Azur fishing village of Cassis has adorned more than one artist's canvas. You will love its colorful fishing and sailing boats in harbor and unique multicolored villas dotting the steep hillside as it drops to the sea. Also close by are museums (Van Gogh and Cezanne), prestigious art schools, and hundreds of galleries.
THE MOULIN DE LA ROQUE is one of the most ideal settings for art workshops in the entire south of France. Baron Fallon welcomes you for a tour if you are in the area and is happy to provide you with additional information at your request.
THE ESTATE itself is particularly well suited for hosting workshops. Baron Fallon has designed each guest house with workshops in mind. There are single beds in each bedroom making it easy for participants to share rooms. Toilets are separate, and most of the bedrooms have a wash basin for convenience. Participants love sharing the kitchens, living areas, and terraces as they make great gathering places to share ideas over a café au lait or a glass of great wine. Often lunches and dinners are taken together as a group in one of the larger guest houses, the terrace, or the main meeting room.
A UNIQUE FEATURE of the estate is two indoor meeting rooms ideal for teaching and demonstrations. There are plenty of large windows in the main meeting room. It is so open that each participant will feel as if they are outside. And when painting plein air, the estate itself and the adjacent village of Noves are so picturesque that many artists can spend their entire workshop just painting there.
BARON FALLON has hosted many artistic workshops and is delighted to assist you with yours in any way you may need. He can arrange catering/meals for your group, can assist you with your tour plan including; buses/transportation, suggestions on places to visit, and other logistical needs you may have. He will also place your workshop on his site to help you market your event to additional participants if necessary. And, if you do not want to transport all of your art supplies, there is a fabulous art supply shop next door to the estate which provides discounts to Moulin de la Roque guest artists.

A case with a repurposed computer fan blade that charges your iPhone using just the power of wind sounds like a good idea, but with further review we think not. Why? First off wind is generally outside and that means your iPhone will have to be exposed to the same elements. If it's windy enough to charge the phone then it's probably windy enough to lodge, at the very least, some debris in your handset. Second, the fan is fixed to the bottom of the case, at least in this design. That means you'll have to stand into the wind holding the iPhone to glean the wind's energy.
Nonetheless, we're very impressed with the designer, Tjeerd Veenhoven, innovative skills. He re-purposed a computer's fan blade and fitted it into a rubber molding that wraps around the iPhone – all completed on his own. He says that he "can shave off many charging hours by redesigning the fan blades", such that they capture the wind more efficiently. Might we suggest some solar panels on the back, which would further decrease charging time.
We think we'll stick with the Hymini, though that might not be able to charge the iPhone in just 6 hours on wind power alone.

Life: Robert Trivers and the empathy deficit
"When a feeling of power is induced in people, they are less likely to take others' viewpoint and more likely to center their thinking on themselves. The result is a reduced ability to comprehend how others see, think, and feel. Power, among other things, induces blindness toward others"
—Robert Trivers, The Folly of Fools
← For Men Only by Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn is missing evolutionary biology, behavioral economics, and psychology

Big typo in your header "emapthy" should be "empathy".

ruce Anstey has finally taken his seventh Isle of Man TT victory today in the Supersport race
By Sarah Carnell -
04 June 2008 12:26
Bruce Anstey bounced back from the disappointment of disqualification from Monday's Isle of Man TT Supersport race to win the second encounter today and secure himself the lap record once and for all.
The New Zealander said this was one of his best wins out of his seven Isle of Man TT victories as he had to get focussed after being disqualified as the winner on Monday because of a technical infringement. But focussed he was as he finished 34.04ses ahead of second placed rider Ian Hutchinson, who's had his own problems with non-finishes this week.
Guy Martin was first away to start the race as always, but by the first time zone at Glen Helen it was Hutchinson who was leading Anstey by 0.05secs on the Relentless by TAS Suzuki. The Yamaha rider was 1.02secs ahead of the Kiwi by Ballaugh Bridge but had gained the lead on time by Ramsey Hairpin.
Anstey was still in the lead at the Bungalow, where Monday's third place Supersport man Keith Amor was black flagged and Monday's winner Steve Plater also pulled over signalling the end of their races.
Heading to the end of lap one at the Grandstand, 13-time Isle of Man TT winner John MGuinness retired to the pits with an oil leak on his Padgetts Honda CBR600, this meant all Monday's Supersport podium men were now out of the running.
Back up front Hutchinson was back in the lead but by Glen Helen on the second lap of the 37.73 Mountain Course Anstey was leading again and there he stayed.
The following two and a half laps saw him continue to build his advantage with the end of lap two pit stops only seeing this help him further as he broke the lap record heading for the refuelling with a 125.359mph lap. The pit stop also resulted in Mats Nillson being handed a five second penalty for failing to stop at the stop box properly, this would cost him a place at the end of the race.
By Ramsey Hairpin on lap three Anstey lead Hutchinson by 20.79, which was 21.40secs on going in to the final lap. A lap three high-profile retiree was Saturday's Superbike winner Cameron Donald who pulled up at the Mountain Box.
The final lap saw Isle of Man resident Gary Johnson showing his capabilities once again in only his second Isle of Man TT year. He moved up fourth by Ballaugh Bridge, although he was to be passed by Ian Lougher before the end of the four laps.
But the headlines will all be about Anstey as the 39-year-old had the race sown up and secured victory in 1.13:35.71
Ryan Farquhar was the fastest man past the Sulby Speedtrap recording 172.100mph on the final lap on his Kawasaki ZX6.
After the race winner Bruce Anstey said: "I just had a good start today I told myself to enjoy it and forget about Monday.
"The Suzuki and the Pirellis worked well. I think it could have been faster but we had a head wind up the mountain trail and there were a couple of accidents on the third lap so we had to slow down.
"I think this is one of the best races, coming back from Monday it was a team effort over the weeks, I'm just pleased for everybody."

"When thinking of iconic romance, ask yourself if any imagery (paintings, photographs, film-stills) comes to mind that is not showing heterosexual couples? Probably not," says photographer Braden Summers of his photo series of everyday gay and lesbian couples from around the globe.
If you know you can deflect it, then you're not challenging yourself.

Just found some old WIP…
Pending X-men: Days of Future Past…
Blue Ponies. I created this piece for an Open Houses exhibition in June.
Along with the incredibly talented Trevor Scobie and Will Scobie
man, all you gotta do is to imagine steve doing all of these post-cap2:
1. pressed shoulder to shoulder with bucky on the couch, watching their old war tapes, ha you looked like such a weiner with your hair like that
2. getting calls from natasha!! all hours of the night and day. steve'll be jogging or something and his cell will buzz and it'll be from an unlisted number, hey what is your opinion on [deep philosophical/moral/political issue] and also rhodey wants your rsvp for the batchelor party, he knows you've been avoiding him and wants you to know that despite what tony says there's NOT going to be strippers.
she also gives him rides to and from visiting peggy. on the drives back she plays harry james and lets steve be silent and nostalgic, looking out the window
3. sam loves open-air cafes, loves any excuse to eat outside. every sunday, he and steve will pick a new one to brunch in, obstinately to round out steve's 21st century culinary education, but mostly so that sam can update his not-so-secret foodie blog. as they sip their coffee after the meal, steve brings out a small sketchpad and draws buildings, people, and a lot of sam's face as he hunches over his laptop, muttering about the consistency of chocolate mousse.
4. bucky's crammed into that seat by the window, leaning into steve's space as he hotly debates the artistic merits of inception versus early hitchcock films with natasha, who's sitting in the perpendicular seat. it's dissolved into russian and steve's worried that they're either conspiring to kill someone or go halfsies on a wedding present for tony & pepper without cutting steve in like they promised. sam's hanging onto the rail by steve's shoulder, scrolling through imgur on this phone. occasionally he'll shove it in steve's face and 9/10 times it'll be a picture of some kid dressed up like captain america. or falcon. steve can't help but smile, soft and ridiculous, every single time.
(they're going out drinking, they're going home to crash, they're going to kill a man. doesn't matter. they're young-ish adults in the city that never sleeps. they'll figure it out.)

News of Kim Kallenberg's suspension didn't come as a complete shock for some students at Powell High.
Rising sophomore Jesse Sellers said, "You hear about this stuff all the time so I don't know. It just sounds like rumors or something. I don't think anything is going on."
Another rising sophomore, Ali Shockley, said, "I'm not really surprised because, like he said, there's been rumors about that and stuff and so it's really not surprising."
Other students say they can't believe Kallenberg would be the target of any investigation.
Erin Dunaway said, "She seems very upstanding and like a decent woman."
According to Knox County schools spokesman Russ Oaks, the system has been investigating the claims for several weeks. "We've received information from a number of different sources from around the community."
Attorney Greg Isaacs says he's worried school officials are paying too much attention to rumor. "We're here about facts and the simple truth is, it's false."
"I hope they aren't true because usually, you hear things about this and they're not true, and it just turns a big deal out of nothing. So I hope they're not true," Dunaway said.
