A Toy Weaver is not destroying-
posted 5 years ago
It is so nice to find a durable toy that has dental benefits. Weaver enjoys the toss and retrieve game and then chews while he is resting. I prefer to give him something to play with that has lower risk for choking and Kong toys fit the bill.
Pros: Weavers likes it
Cons: None

Slovenian impressionists - Matija Jama
The pen in defence of the movement and its aims
Tu pride flashMatija Jama (1872-1947) came from a middle class family and of the four artists had the most education, completing grammar school in Ljubljana and Zagreb and continuing his studies in law. Perhaps it was this that made him the most dogmatic of the impressionists and the only one to take up his pen to defend the reputation and truth of the movement and its aims.
During his sojourn in Zagreb Jama decided to abandon his law studies in favour of painting, attending private schools in Munich, and later the Academy. Influenced by Millet, he dreamed of a Slovene genre, and did illustrations for the magazine 'Dom in Svet' (Home and World) all the while discussing the new painting with Jakopič. But despite sharing some common ground with his colleagues his experience of Impressionism was different to theirs, being more doctrinaire and systematic to the point of scientific analysis. 'The main problem of realization,' he was to declare, 'lies in the right solution of reciprocal tone relations. The 'colour mood' is something concrete, however exterior technical form is given to this experience only by scientifically founded tone and light painting. Artistic perception can only be subjective, but the expression and formation of the means chosen should not be arbitrary since it is dependent on the existence of laws of objective physical and natural reality.'
Jama was interested above all in the objective registration of natural phenomena: Nature and its impression was his standard, but the painting was intended to make an impact on the eye, not the intelligence. In this he differed diametrically from Jakopič, who also searched for the Slovene expression in art but whose work ultimately reflected his experience of the object, rather than the object itself.
Jama considered that only by painting outdoors and in full daylight would he achieve his goal, and remaining faithful to his personal ideal he succeeded in producing pictures that are breathtakingly luminous, like 'Stone Quarry' 1907. Jama applied paint to canvas more sparsely than did Jakopič or Grohar but this did not detract from the translucent effect. Nor did the colour values of shadows and darknesses, which also had their place in the overall scheme, as is seen in 'Bridge on the Dobra' 1907, and 'Ljubljana Town Hall Square,' 1930.
Jama's artistic evolution fell into three main periods. The first was Munich, when as early as 1897 he declined the aesthetics of classicism and proclaimed nature the only true teacher of artists. The second period was one of struggle as he sought to capture the impressionist image of the world. The final period, from 1910 until his death in 1947, is one of sovereign mastery of the method, like the delicate 'Fruit Orchard in Snow' 1940. His interest was not only the landscape with its atmospheric light and variety of colour effects, but at one with all it contains, as in the painting 'Round Dance' (Kolo) 1935. His favoured themes were the Slovene and Croatian countrysides, and he was unsurpassed in conveying their Arcadian character.
From 1940 until his death there was a gradation of this mood to forms in which impressionist reality changed to a fantastic expressiveness. Nature viewed through the artist's temperament provided a new challenge, but was unrealizable in terms of pure Impressionism.
In his time Jama defended the Impressionist movement against accusations of sterility, comparing its achievements to the discovery of perspective; and while he admitted that the group's method could not be the final form of Impressionism, he held that what they discovered about light and colour would be the foundation of modern painting.

This is a work horse..., January 4, 2012
This is a work horse of a fountain pen. I have dropped it, taken it through rough settings and it still looks great and works flawlessly. This has a pen has a very ergonomic grip, so if you have got big hands, this pen may be a bit hard to work with. The clip is pretty nice and hold snug in my pocket or shirt. The metal body guarantees a long life and i love using this pen for notes or long papers. I love this pen and expect to be buying more of them. Thank You Jetpens!!!!
i wonder if you could..., December 20, 2011
i wonder if you could put a regular fountain pen nib on it. Anyway, this pen is pretty nice for the price. I use for formal cards and projects. Aesthetically pleasing, good flow, cheap price... what more could you ask for?
usually i dont spend..., November 25, 2011
usually i dont spend a lot of many on a pen.... especially a ballpoint, but this pen is an exception. i could rant on and on about how great this pen is, but dont just read this reviews, buy the pen and see how truly flawlessly it works. this is the number 1 pen in my pouch!!!
all the other reviews..., November 18, 2011
all the other reviews make this pen refill seem horrible.... well this is a huge understatement for this refill. i recently bought a jet stream with this refill and after i was out of my first refill, i popped this guy in there. like every uni pen, this refill glided beautifully across the paper and made my writing appear crisp and clear. i love this refill and intend to buy many more for my pen. I recommend this refill for a lover of beautiful writing...
first off, let me tell..., October 29, 2011
first off, let me tell you, this pen is more minuscule than i thought it would be!!! This thing is SO tiny, so it looks really cute and attractive. I also like the way it clicks with the black spring. The ink flows quite well... could be better. th logo looks great the metal is durable. The only problem is... i guess there is no problem (:
can you fit jetstream..., October 9, 2011
can you fit jetstream refills in this pencil? if you can, this would be the ultimate multi pen.
my friend armando has this pencil and it works flawlessly. the grip is not very comfortable (knowing what uni ball is capable of creating) so i do not use this pencil often. but for some reason.... i find my self reaching for this more than my dr grip and alpha gels. wish i had one XD
i have two of these kinds:one..., October 8, 2011
i have two of these kinds:one in black and one in white
i have to say i kind of like the whit better because it looks cooler... no doubt it is a good pencil but i like the different color
holy smokes.... this..., October 2, 2011
holy smokes.... this pen is EXPENSIVE! looks cool do
i dont even car about..., September 28, 2011
i dont even car about the "performance" of the pen. i just love it for spinning
i used to think this..., September 25, 2011
i used to think this was the best pencil in the world, (said in my previous comment) but things all took a turn for the worst after a few weeks of usage.
1. The paint started flaking
2. The tip was bending
3. The pencil was just not living up to the high expectations i had

American Idol: Group Performances
The most dramatic episode of every season of American Idol revolves around the infamous GROUP PERFORMANCES. Last night's episode didn't bring out the crazy like some of the recent seasons, but there was plenty of drama!
Let's start out with Ashley Sullivan. The mixture of pressure from preparing choregoraphy, learning lyrics, and being surrounded by cameras was almost too much to take. Ashley tried to quit the show completely. Thanks to support from her boyfriend, Idol producers, and her group, she stuck it out. Turns out THAT was the best decision she made so far…Check out "The Hits" performance of "Hit 'Em Style" here:
Now this just broke my heart! One of my favorites, Jacee Badeaux from Lafayette, got the boot from his group really late into the planning stages. How could anyone be so mean? Jacee was obviously disheartened by the rejection, but he held his head high and was finally able to find a new group. With only a few hours to rehearse, he was at a real disadvantage. The judges took a little "Mercy" on him and I think that's what I like so much about this new panel! Watch Jacee here…he is such a cutie!!!
The BEST performance of the night award has to go to "The Minors." This group of 5 15 and 16-year-old performers gave everyone in the competition a run for their money. I think my favorite part of this performance, besides the fantastic harmonizing, is their moms! Enjoy…
Who were YOUR favorites from last night??? Do you think anyone got cut that should have stuck around?

Historian Donald Crafton credits this 1911 Pathé Frères film THE AUTOMATIC MOVING COMPANY to Romeo Bosetti; it too is an imitation of an earlier work, Emile Cohl's MOBILIER FIDELE, made in 1910 for Pathe's rival, Gaumont. However, Cohl also worked for Pathe in 1911 and the two artists sometimes collaborated. Regardless of authorship, it's brilliant. Only the scale of the straw reveals it to have been achieved in miniature.

It's a great example of film history and a clear indication of how prevalent stop motion animation has been throughout the years.
If it were only possible.
Quite the charming little piece that reminds us what it's like actually moving the furniture bit by bit for the stop animation. Kind of child-like event to get to share in.
This was a great example of early stop-motion animation. The use of miniature was surprisingly deceptive.
I thought it was quite entertaining.

Boron: A health mineral for the human body
Boron is a trace nutrient found in various fruits and vegetables. It is also the fifth chemical element in traditional medicine that has been widely used to cure boron deficiency, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, vitamin D deficiency, high cholesterol and leukemia. Boron supplements are known to play an active role in the anti-ageing process and in promoting good health and longevity. Boron is helpful in enabling individuals to reach their optimal life expectancy.
Boron is present in the soil and water and the highest concentration of the mineral is found in the bones of human beings. It was discovered in 1910 as an essential nutrient for plants and in 1985 was declared beneficial for human health as well.
Functions of Boron
Boron plays a critical role in various biochemical processes taking place in the body by increasing the efficiency of various organic compounds such as vitamins, carbohydrates and enzymes. Boron supplements are often recommended for individuals regularly taking an antacid. Magnesium, a key component of antacid tablets and milk of magnesia have the tendency to interfere with Boron absorption in the body. Boron is also beneficial for women using herbs to treat the symptoms of menopause. The intake of Boron supplements increases the effectiveness of phytoestrogens such as beet root, alfalfa, bud rock, kudzu, hops, licorice, pomegranate, saw palmetto, thyne, soy, red clover, yucca, black cohosh etc. It also increases the effects of testosterone, the male hormone in the body.
Benefits of Boron
It is an important trace mineral required by the body for the maintenance of good health and fights a number of diseases.
It is a natural remedy for arthritis and ageing.
As per research, it provides 95% or more relief in arthritis patients by enabling the integration of calcium into the cartilage and bone.
Boron delays the process of ageing by strengthening the bones and preventing them from decay by making them porous.
Boron is helpful in providing relief during menopause. It is required for the production of estrogen, the female hormone and helps reduce hot flushes and increases libido. It raises the level of the natural sex hormones in the body, thereby eliminating the need of HRT or hormone replacement therapy.
It plays a crucial role in various biochemical processes occurring in the body by enhancing the effectiveness of carbohydrates, vitamins, proteins etc.
It protects the body from osteoporosis by maintaining the health of bones.
It enhances the action of various nutrients involved in the development of strong bones such as vitamin D, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous.
It reduces the effect of vitamin D and magnesium deficiencies. When taken in adequate quantity it decreases the amount of calcium and magnesium lost in urine.
Boron has powerful antioxidant properties known to fight the harmful effects of free radicals on the body that are capable of destroying the cell membranes and lead to the development of various diseases such as cancer, bronchitis etc.
It enhances motor skills learning and memory.
It boosts the immune system, thereby reducing the risk of auto immune diseases.
It is used in the treatment of fungal and bacterial infections.
It helps maintain healthy cell membranes for normal cell division and function.
It is used for muscle building due to its capability of increasing the efficiency of testosterone.
There is no recommended dietary allowance (RDA), for boron but nutritionists suggest an intake of 3 mg per day.
Deficiency of Boron:
A deficiency of the nutrient can impair mental functioning and repress mental alertness. It may lead to problems in the metabolism of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. Shortage of the mineral can result in increased stress levels in the body.
Dietary Sources of the Mineral:
These include nuts, apples, beans, peaches, apricots, peanut butter, grapes, pears, dates, tomatoes, raisins and wine.
Overdose and toxicity:
It is suggested that you stay below a dose of 10 mg per day while supplementing boron. Higher levels lead to toxicity, although it is rare as the mineral is not stored in the body. Boron toxicity may cause nausea, skin rash, blue green vomiting, hair loss, diarrhea, headache, lethargy, low blood pressure, depression fever, hyperthermia, tremors, irritability, seizure etc.
Before taking any nutritional supplement it is necessary for you to consult a registered medical practitioner in order to determine if the product is required by you or not. You must keep your present medical condition and the body's requirements in mind before taking any supplements. It is advisable for pregnant and nursing women to take supplements only on the prescription of a doctor.

Batting with an eye firmly on the net run rate, Sri Lanka — led from the front by its captain Mahela Jayawardene — cantered home to a nine-wicket win against the West Indies in its second Super Eights game of the ICC World T20 tournament here. This is Sri Lanka's biggest win in a T20 game.
Spot-on bowling, led by Ajantha Mendis, and some brilliant batting, including a 108-run partnership between Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, saw Sri Lanka accomplish the twin tasks of winning and maintaining a healthy NRR.
In fact, it appeared there were two pitches in the middle — one that West Indies batted on, and another that Sri Lanka batted on. The West Indian batting looked laboured, while the Sri Lankan top order stroked freely.
Both Sri Lanka and West Indies have won their opening games, and have one game each left. The possibility of three teams in this group ending up with equal points has brightened.
"We will be cheering for Sri Lanka," said New Zealand captain Ross Taylor. If Sri Lanka beat England in the next game, New Zealand can still go through, if it beats West Indies.
West Indies now has to beat New Zealand and wait for the outcome of the last match in Pallekele — between Sri Lanka and England — to find out if it has made the cut for the last four.
Since Sri Lanka tied its first game against New Zealand and later won on the basis of a Super Over, it was important for it to force the pace of scoring. Mahela and Dilshan did just that.
Earlier, after electing to bat the West Indies batting lost the plot after Chris Gayle and the in-form Johnson Charles fell early, and set a target of 130 for Sri Lanka to chase.
West Indies got off to the slowest start in the tournament. For some strange reason Johnson Charles hogged most of the strike. Till he got out in the fifth over, Charles had taken 21 balls of the strike to Gayle's 8.
Charles finally lost patience and charged down to Ajantha Mendis. The only problem: his heave and the ball were in two different trajectories. Sangakkara completed the stumping.
In the very next over, Gayle chased a slow leg-cutter from Kulasekara into the hands of Sangakkara. When Power Play was completed, West Indies had put up 20 for the loss of two wickets — the lowest for this edition of the tournament.
Dawyne Bravo and Marlon Samuels went about the job of rebuilding in a sensible manner; running the twos, blocking the good balls and hitting the bad ones into the stands.
At the end of 10 overs, West Indies had crawled to 53 for 2. The pair put on the highest partnership for the third wicket in a world T20 game for the West Indies — 65 — and looked set for more. Bravo finally got out in the 15th over, holing out to long-on off Jeevan Mendis.
Ajantha took two wickets to become the tournament's leading wicket-taker with a tally of 9. When he bowled the struggling Kieron Pollard, he also bagged his 100 T20 wicket.
West Indies made one change to its playing 11 from the last match: Badree made way for Fidel Edwards. Sri Lanka rested Akila Dananjaya and brought in Rangana Herath.
West Indies: J. Charles st. Sangakkara b Mendis 12 (21b, 2x4), C. Gayle c Sangakkara b Kulasekara 2 (9b), M. Samuels c Dilshan b Mathews 50 (35b, 4x4, 2x6), D. Bravo c Dilshan b J.

Fall of wickets: 1-16 (Charles), 2-16 (Gayle), 3-81 (Bravo), 4-90 (Pollard), 5-123 (Samuels).
Sri Lanka bowling: A. Mathews 4-0-31-1, Kulasekara 4-0-28-1, Malinga 4-0-26-0, A. Mendis 4-1-12-2, Herath 2-0-16-0, J. Mendis 2-0-12-1.

On Christmas Eve, a group of firefighters in the Rochester suburb of Webster, N.Y. responding to a fire. They thought they were going there to save lives but instead a monster loomed in the smoke waiting for them to take theirs. Ex-convict Williams Spengler shot and killed two volunteer firefighters as they tried to put out a fire he started.
Mike Chiapperini, 43, and Tomasz Kaczowka, 19, both were shot and killed by Spengler on Christmas Eve, while four of their brothers were injured in the ambush.
The Buffalo Bills will honor the two fallen firefighters on Sunday with a decal on the back of their helmets that reads: WWFD (West Webster Fire Department). The decal will be placed by another one honoring the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting that occurred earlier this month.
It's touching move by the Bills, as Webster is just 90 miles from Buffalo. A total of seven homes were destroyed as firefighters were prevented from doing their jobs due to the threat of more possible violence. Webster Police Lt. Mike Chiapperini was the police department's public information officer, and Tomasz Kaczowka worked as a 911 dispatcher for Monroe County. Chiapperini was named "Firefighter of the Year" two weeks ago.
Both men were volunteer firefighters.

parallel evolution, the evolution of geographically separated groups in such a way that they show morphological resemblances. A notable example is the similarity shown by the marsupial mammals of Australia to the placental mammals elsewhere. Through the courses of their evolution they have come to remarkably similar forms, so much so that the marsupials are often named for their placental counterparts (e.g., the marsupial "wolf," "mole," "mice," or "cats").

Slim Without the Gym: Sculpting Moves for Your Fitness Type
Pages in this Story:
- If You Like Tennis
- If You Like Hiking or Walking
- If You Like Running
- If You Like Swimming
- If You Like Biking
If You Like Hiking or Walking
Focus on: Sculpting your abs, glutes, hips and thighs.
The payoff: You'll walk farther and faster and burn more calories while sidestepping injuries -- especially if you're hiking down a steep slope.
What'll you need: Nada -- just your body weight (you can use a mat if you prefer it to the floor).1. Single-Leg Bridge
Targets abs, lower back, hip flexors, glutes, hamstrings
Lie faceup on floor, knees bent and thighs touching. Extend arms over head, palms up. Lift right leg 45 degrees, keeping thighs together. Press through left foot while lifting hips until body forms a straight line from shoulders to right foot. Hold for 3 counts. Slowly lower hips, barely touching floor; keep leg lifted. Do 10 to 20 reps; switch sides and repeat.2. Windmill
Targets abs, obliques, mid to lower back
Stand with feet hip-width apart, arms extended out to sides at chest height. Bend forward 90 degrees from the waist, with knees slightly bent. Keeping hips square, slowly twist upper body to the right, reaching left hand to right toes and extending right arm toward the ceiling. Hold for 5 counts, then return to center and repeat on opposite side. Do 10 to 20 reps, alternating sides.3. Spin Squat
Targets core, glutes, hamstrings, quads, calves
Stand with feet a little more than shoulder-width apart, elbows bent, hands parallel to shoulders. Sink into a low squat, bending knees 90 degrees; hold for 3 seconds. Pivoting on right foot, spin 180 degrees so you're now facing the opposite direction. Land immediately in a squat. Repeat, spinning 180 degrees back to start on right leg. Do 10 reps; switch legs and repeat.

Playing racing games on your iPhone can be a tedious experience, especially when you have to tilt and twist your iPhone in all sorts of directions. This rather ingenious fellow was able to drive around the problem by building an iPhone holder using Lego blocks. Even better than that, he also added a steering wheel and gear to his contraption so that he only needs to move the wheel – just like real driving – to play his favorite racing games on the iPhone.
It's a pretty cool thing to build with Lego blocks and it would have been even more amazing if he found a way to keep his iPhone from screen-saving from time to time.

Actually it's pronounced Thpain!
The Very End
So… It's been a while. Well I'm back home now. My transitioning from my Spanish au pair life to "whatever it is I'm doing now" has been really hard. I feel like I've been going through the 5 stages of grief. But not to worry, I am very soon at my acceptance stage. I think finishing this tumblr of mine will be a good end for it.
The plan was, for my last week I would upload something for every single day but since I was unable to do that during the week because I was just far too tired, I thought I'd do it when I reached home. But since I've been feeling so blue about and since my harddrive has had it's problems I've had to push it up until now. During this coming week I'll be posting about the things I did during my last moments in Tenerife. My very last moments as an au pair in Spain.
Oh I and I was wrong before.
The hardest thing isn't not being able to be home when you're needed;
The hardest thing is saying goodbye to everyone in your new life, not knowing which one's of those goodbye are really farewells…

How to Select a North Carolina Car Accident Lawyer
If you were in a North Carolina car accident, a lawyer may be able to help with your personal injury case. If you can prove the accident was not your fault, you may be able to get a settlement to cover your medical bills and the cost of repairing or replacing damaged property.
If a friend or family member recently received a settlement in a North Carolina lawsuit, you may want to see if he or she would recommend their lawyer. If not, or if you don't know anyone who might be able to recommend a lawyer, you've come to the right site. Attorneys.com has a service to connect you with local car accident lawyers.
Once you're ready to begin the process, you can call 1-877-913-7222 or fill out the short form on this site. After you've answered a few questions, we will connect you with one or more North Carolina car accident lawyers. You can contact the lawyers yourself, or they will follow up with you within two business days.
Meeting with North Carolina Car Accident Lawyers
Once you have the name of at least one lawyer who is familiar with North Carolina car accident law, you should set up a meeting or initial consultation with him or her. This meeting lets you get to know the lawyer and decide if you want to hire him or her for your case. Personal injury lawyers usually don't charge for consultations, but if you check first, you won't be surprised if a lawyer does charge you.
You will want to take some notes before your meetings so you're prepared. For example, write down as many details as you can remember about the car accident. When did it happen? How did it happen? What sorts of bills do you have in conjunction with the accident?
Also, write down questions you'll want to ask the lawyer. These should address topics such as:
- His or her experience with North Carolina car accidents
- His or her judgment of your case, including what sort of award you could receive and how he or she would handle your case
- How he or she bills for legal work and how much your case might cost
The purpose of this meeting is for you to decide if this is the lawyer you want to hire. Taking notes will help you remember the important points when you go to make a decision. Remember that everything will be kept confidential, so feel free to speak your mind.
Selecting a North Carolina Car Accident Lawyer
Once you have finished your initial consultations, you can hire a North Carolina car accident lawyer to handle your case. If you're having trouble making up your mind, ask each lawyer to give you the names of former clients to call as references. These references can be helpful in your decision making.
Some of the criteria you'll want to look at when making your final decision:
- The lawyer has enough experience to handle your case
- The lawyer puts you at ease with his or her judgment of your case and knowledge of North Carolina car accident law
- The lawyer proposes a case strategy you understand and agree with
- The lawyer has reasonable fees
If you have found a North Carolina car accident lawyer you can trust, you are ready to hire him or her and begin your North Carolina lawsuit.

Since Holy Week -- especially the Easter Triduum -- are at the heart of the liturgical year, you may consider how to make the week different from other weeks.
Perhaps the family will not watch television for the week, but will read aloud passages from the Gospels that relate to the triduum and Easter. The Gospel reading on Monday (Jn 12:1-11) is the story of Jesus' raising Lazarus, Tuesday's reading (Jn 13:21-33, 36-38) is about Judas's plans to betray Christ, and Wednesday's reading (Mt 26:14-25) sets the stage for the Last Supper and the betrayal in the garden. Each of these provides important background material for what will be seen and heard during the Triduum.
Finally, in many countries Catholics follow an old custom (going back to a Jewish tradition in preparation of Passover) of having Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of Holy Week be spring-cleaning days. Cleaning the house from top to bottom is a concrete reminder that we need to clean our hearts and minds in preparation of the Triduum and Easter.
Discover more about these 'Three Great Days' of the Triduum with Carl Olson's series on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. Don't miss 'Triduum Family Activities.' Read it here.

Spring 2014 Graduate Course Descriptions
510:502 Historian's Craft: II (Intro Course)
Professor Belind Davis
Introduction to the professional study of history, to the diverse methodological approaches of current historiography, and to the place of historical scholarship in both academic and non-academic spheres. First year graduate students only.
510:509 Teaching of History
Professor Susan Schrepfer
Basic Objectives:
This course has been designed for doctoral students in history who plan to teach undergraduate courses. We will meet weekly to discuss designing courses, honing teaching skills, and navigating common problems encountered in the classroom. In addition to the specific reading below, we will explore material available from such sources as AHA Perspectives, the History Teacher, and the Chronicle of Higher Education. We will look at the AHA website on teaching and other sites with model syllabus and teaching support material. In addition to completing weekly readings and participating in class discussions, you will have three formal assignments.
First, you are to craft two syllabi, one for a broadly synthetic introductory course that you may expect to teach at some time. Your second syllabus will frame an upper division course in one of your primary fields. The format of these syllabi will be twofold: a hard copy, or "static" version, such as one would distribute the first day of class, and a web-based, or "dynamic" version, amenable to revision and used for students as an online course record. The latter will logically be keyed to Sakai unless you expect to be teaching soon at another campus (i.e. Rutgers-Newark).
Second, you are to develop five detailed, individual class sessions designed to accompany either your introductory syllabus or your upper division syllabus. Your lesson plans may take the form of a hard copy supplement to your static syllabus, or as components of the web-based version.
Third, you must deliver a lecture (between forty and eighty minutes in length) as a guest speaker in one of the History Department's spring undergraduate courses. Since arrangements for these opportunities are often complicated, negotiations and scheduling with supervising faculty should be undertaken as quickly as possible. Everyone will present a preliminary version of their guest lecture to "The Teaching of History" class, ideally during weeks seven, eight, or nine. The guest lectures may be based upon one of the lesson plans submitted for this course. The guest lectures should be slotted, preferably, shortly after the spring break. Each student will attend one of their classmate's guest lectures and be prepared to discuss its strengths and weaknesses.
510:511 Colloquium in Comparative History: Poverty in Global Historical Perspective
Professor Grail Triner
Historians and social scientists have explored "Poverty in Global Historical Perspective" from an incredibly wide range of frameworks; in this course, we will begin to explore some of the most important. To try to give some shape to the "big questions" of the theme, we will organize the semester around the following questions:
- What is/was "poverty"?
- What are the geo-historic debates about poverty (Why Europe?)
- What did poverty mean in specific times and places? And can we discern any commonalities among different times and places we study?
- How did different kinds of activities contribute to making and/or alleviating poverty?
Obviously, these questions are very broad. They give us the opportunity to focus on subtopics that are of interest to you and that will arise as we read/discuss/debate. Some of the subtopics that may emerge include: the intersection of poverty with questions of ethnicity, gender, state or civil violence, urban/rural divides, etc.; individual vs. social components of poverty; the implications of material well-being, power relations and social construct in studying (and in experiencing) poverty; the institutional foundations of poverty.
While the course has a rigorous reading load, we will also concentrate on your research interests and their intersection with the concepts of poverty. And we will work collaboratively towards an understanding of remaining unaddressed questions of current historical research on poverty.
510:514 Aproaches to Global History
Professors Michael Adas and Benjamin Justice
The course focuses on major issues and approaches relating to teaching, writing and thinking about global history and cross-cultural comparisons of and interactions among major human societies from pre-historic times to the present.
510:519 Colloquium in Intellectual History: Backgrounds of Contemporary Theory
Professors James Livingston and David Kurnick
The course aims to give students a grounding in some of the major texts in philosophy and social theory informing contemporary critical discourse and historical methods. Questions about modernity and its definition will structure our discussions: first, was classical social theory a way of marking a decisive break between "the" modern and its antecedents, and how did modernity figure in these accounts: as market society, capitalism, the division of labor, mediation, historical awareness, psychological self-consciousness? Second, does the linguistic turn, the post-structuralist moment, signify another decisive break, whereby theorists have tried to redefine the content and the implications of "modernity"?
The structure of the course is recursive: the classic social theory (roughly Hegel and Marx to Gramsci) that forms the spine of the course will be paired with major poststructuralist re-readings of those classics that interpret, test, and wrestle with their meanings.
510:534 Colloquium in Environmental History: Global
Professor Toby Jones
510:539 Colloquium in Women's and Gender History: Families, Domesticities, and Intimacies
Professor Chie Ikeya
This colloquium is intended as a general introduction to the historiography on the history of family, domesticity, and intimacy, as well as an aid to help graduate students prepare for comprehensive exams in the field of women's and gender history. It will introduce students to some of the key concepts, questions, texts, and historiographical and theoretical approaches used to study family, domesticity, and intimacy in various geographies and time periods. Sub-themes include: the role of family, kinship, and household in the production and reproduction of political power, labor systems, social difference, and cultures of inequality; notions of "traditional" and "modern" families and marriage practices; how the boundaries of the "private" sphere intersect with the "public" realm; religious, moral, and state regulation of family forms, conjugal relations, childrearing, and domestic arrangements; and changing understandings, dynamics, and experiences of power and intimacy within the sexual, affective, and economic life of the family and household. The readings for the course will bring together "classics" and new literature in the field, and facilitate conversations about why and how historians should attend to the history of family, domesticity, and intimacy and the benefits offered by different interdisciplinary methodologies.
510:550 Seminar in the History of Women II
Professor Seth Koven
Continuation of year long course; no new participants.
510:557 Readings in American History II
Professor Jackson Lears
510:573 African American, American Seminar
Professor Deborah White
This course will focus on historical writing and research. We will start with Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life as a way to introduce the subject and strategies of writing, and as a way to understand some of the unconscious issues involved in the process. We will unpack the issue of writer's block; study how to balance research and writing; explore different note-taking and organization techniques. We will deconstruct published articles and Heather William's Help Me to Find My People, as a way to explore the variety of writing styles used by historians. Finally, students will learn by doing as they research and write their own original article, historiographic essay, or dissertation proposal that will be lovingly critiqued in class and presented at an historical conference.
510:593 Readings in Medieval History
Professor Stephen Reinert
510:599 Readings in Modern European History
Professor Paul Hanebrink
The PDR in Modern European history is meant to provide the foundation for further study of the central problems in this field. The emphasis will be on identifying the major themes around which we can frame a history of modern Europe – here understood as the period beginning with the French Revolution and going to the present (or at least till 1989). Readings will focus on possible answers to this question; we will be especially attentive to the ways in which methodological choices and political preferences have shaped the "master narratives" of modern European history. What do these narratives highlight? What is omitted? In addition, we will be interested in questions of periodization (Is it useful to talk about the "long" 19th century or the "short" 20th century?; Can we identify the turning points in modern European history?) as well as definition (what is Europe? Who is European?) Specialists in other fields are welcome.
510:615 Seminar in European History
Professor Belinda Davis
This two-semester course is an opportunity to pursue an original research project on a subject of your choice: a chance to try out a dissertation topic and to see where it takes you. This is a core course for Europeanists. However, non-Europeanists needing to complete a seminar may also enroll, with permission of the instructor, and will correspondingly pursue research in their own area of focus.
By the end of the first semester, you will have completed such research as is possible with regionally available sources, and will write up a preliminary draft based on that research. During the summer, it is hoped you will have the opportunity to pursue research in Europe (or elsewhere, as needed). Next fall, you will work on a final draft of the paper. The bulk of the work for this course will be identifying, researching, and writing up your project. However, you will also be responsible for offering serious commentary to your colleagues in class on their ongoing projects, just as you will benefit from the same. Finally, we will have some common class readings and presentations to help us consider issues of researching and analyzing materials, constructing an argument, and writing it up in compelling fashion.
510:631 Colloquium in Latin American History: Readings in Modern Latin America
Professor Kathleen Lopez

Let's All Go To the Movies.. Or Not (7/2)
7/2/12 in Locker Room | The_Real_Stoney | 25321 respect
Hi again everybody, it's that time to take a look back at the weekend and see which cinema fare caught the eye of America. There were several newcomers, and with the 6th layer of hell encompassing much of the United States, it looks like the box office did well. Here is your top 5 for this past weekend
#1 Ted - (Opening Weekend $54.1M) Whoa, I had a feeling Ted would fare well, but I didn't see this coming. Then again, it has done well with the critics, it's stars Mark Wahlberg which will get the ladies in the building, Mila Kunis which will get the fellas in the building, and Seth MacFarlane is involved which will get the people who like to laugh in the building. I'm curious to see this to see how Marky Mark does in a comedy and if MacFarlane's writing can finally make him a funny character. Well, outside of Boogie Nights of course, which is probably the best example of unintentional comedy in the history of film. I'm off track, go check this movie out.
#2 Magic Mike - (Opening Weekend $39.2) Look out world, 2012 is the summer of soft core porn for women. Brown chicken, brown cow. Matthew McConaughey, Channing Tatum, the gay guy from White Collar and some other guys getting oiled up and grinding speedo smothered junk against women who can't find men show satisfy them? Count me i..out.. I said out.. I have no idea what the plot of this movie is, so let me pull it up in another window. Ok, looks like there is none. I'm sure this should do well for another couple weeks, so ladies grab your friends and go fill up that spank bank..
#3 Brave (Week 2 $34.0M, $131.7M total) The Tough Little princess who could had another good weekend and was the most widely released movie of the weekend, showing in 4164 theaters. Brave does bring us this week's critique of the week! This one from Christopher Orr of The Atlantic (I'm not sure if that's a website, a magazine, or the ocean) "Though it falls short of the studio's best in many respects, Brave is ravishing to look at. Merida's carrot corona is alone worth the price of admission." Seriously, a grown man wrote that.
#4 Madea's Witness Protection (Opening $26.4M) Heyooooo, everyone's favorite family, the Klumps is back with their 23rd movie in the series.. What's that? That's not Eddie Murphy? Hmmm, well I'll be damned. Ok then.. I feel bad for Eugene Levy, he is a comedy genius, but continues to show up in some of the worst comedies ever written. Does 2009's Gooby ring a bell? I'll say this much, this Tyler Perry knows his audience and knows how to turn a profit.
#5 Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted (Week 4 $11.8M, $180M total) So my brother went to see it this past weekend with his niece and nephew and family and I thought I'd ask his opinion, so here we go. "It was pretty funny. I mean there were some funny parts. And I fell asleep for about a half hour, but the kids seemed to like it" Not quite a certified fresh rating, but better than bad I suppose.
Other news and notes: People Like Us took in a disappointing $4.3M showing on almost 2100 screens in its opening weekend. Lukewarm reviews and a less than meager advertising budget hurt this one. Moonrise Kingdom was up to 854 theaters this weekend and took in $4.9M finishing 8th for the weekend. It was by far the best new movie I've seen this year. Sticking to the theme of new movies, especially ones I'm interested in, Beasts of the Southern Wild opened in very limited release (4 theaters). This is one I'm recommending to everyone. Go see it when it comes to your town.
The Avengers Tally: $606.3M
Opening This Week:
The Amazing Spider-Man (July 3rd)
Katy Perry: Part of Me (sex tape title)
The Do-Deca Pentathlon (for you fellow indie lovers)
And some other crappy movies
Spider-Man prediction for midnight tonight through Sunday? $210M

FREEEERAAAAAAARD! Yay! And n'awwww dey is so cute! This is possibly the best Frerard I've read in... Well, ever, really. Good job!
So on the rating thingy majig, I'm outta points for now. But once I get them back, I shall make this pretty little fic GREEN, muthafucka! Jus cuz it totally deserves it.
And that's all I've got right now. I'll probably reread it at a less doubletake-worthy hour and actually give you a halfway decent review. It was great, and I'm really sad the chapter ended so quick (it felt like...), so UPDATE AGAIN PRETTY PLEASE WITH A FRANKIE ON TOP! :D
Author's responseThing is, I could write longer chapters, but they'd take longer to write. Like there's a median speed at which my brain works, beyond which everything gets kinda spastic...aw, you get what I mean, right? I'll try to slam out a really long chapter tonight, but it might take longer to post since I like to search for typos ;) Thank you a frickin' ton!

(#) TakeThisToMyGrave 2010-12-31 03:14:10 AMClaps and jumps up and down
Love love love love love!
There were several points in this chapter were I did actually laugh out loud. Trust me, the looks I got from my mother weren't looks of sanity ¬¬
Anyway, amazing update and I can not waaaait to read more!
Goes to rate
Author's responseThe exact same thing happens to me all the time, don't worry! :) muchos, muchos gracias!
Sing It Like the Kids That Are Mean to You
(#) AstroSkull 2010-12-31 05:23:17 AMThat was amazing as always! :DD
Your really a great writer :)
I couldnt stop laughing when Frankie told Mikey he was a crazy-ass sensei or something,
I laughed even harded when he said he was more like a guru xD
Oh, and I love how Gerard randomly jumps on a dude that looks like Frank, lol x]
It was really awesome :)
I love the ending, it was cute >w<
I'll be waiting patiently for the next update! :D
Author's responseawww, thanks! I'm so pleased you like it. And that seems like a very Gerard thing to do, no?

(#) mildlyobsessed 2011-01-05 03:01:57 AMwow, just found this story and i love it. it has a quietness about it...that sounds weird i know, but it's more serene and calm then alot of stories. it's sweet and badass at the same time.
love it!!!
Author's responsethank you so much! I don't really know if the effect was intentional or not; I've read an embarrassingly large amount of MCR fanfiction in my time, and I don't know how believable it is that they're all in each other's pants by the third chapter, and there's no romance involved. Things will get darker, though, you'll see ;) I just don't know how long it's going to be, so I didn't want to rush the beginning and then get stuck in some ridiculous situation. Real life has a lot of slower moments, and everything doesn't happen at once, right? Anyway, it really means a lot, and I hope you keep reading and enjoying! xo

(#) CosmicZombie 2011-01-16 09:05:07 AMjust found this story and i love it- it's so cute and you write really well! update soon :D
Author's responseGracias! I've been living in front of my computer lately, but it feels good :) Update should be out tomorrow or Tuesday, depending on whether I fall asleep or not...Thanks lovely!

Two authors of the Institute of Medicine report on essential health benefits criticized the Department of Health and Human Services' pre-bulletin guidance granting states greater flexibility in designing essential health care benefits, arguing that the administration's approach represented a "missed opportunity" for ensuring health insurance affordability. "By giving the states the option to pick the various plans, they in essence said any of the state mandates would be OK," John Ball, chairman of the IOM essential benefits committee told Politico. In October, the IOM had recommended that HHS establish a premium target — "setting a dollar amount for coverage and then filling in the benefits to meet the limit" — or use "medical effectiveness to select benefits. Interestingly, an editorial in this morning's Des Moines Register also notes that a federal standard would establish greater uniformity across the country and "guarantee a diabetic or autistic child had equal coverage, regardless of where they lived." "It makes sense for the federal government to set details, because billions of federal dollars will be used to help pay for these insurance plans," the paper says. "Also, compared to elected officials, executive branch workers are relatively free from the influences of special interests."

Before & After: Makeover of a Cozy Nook
Design *Sponge
One rainy weekend Lora Neveu decided to build a charming little dream escape in a window nook in her daughter's room that had remained empty and unused. Follow me after the jump to see what she came up with.
Two days and $165 later, Lora had created a wonderful and cozy space that doubles as a play/nap and storage area. She built a simple box and divider out of plywood and brackets, painted, added cushions, lanterns, and drapes, and then she was done. If I was a little girl, this is definitely a place I would cherish. Heck, forget being a little girl, I want one now. Thanks Lora, great job!

Beautiful! Spectacular results despite simple methods and a small space.
This is the most comfortable fort, ever.
I want to snuggle up on that seat with a good book. Well done!
Love. It kinda reminds me of my room in my on-campus apartment my senior year of college. My bed was raised so that I could have storage underneath it and the bed was right at the window like that. I loved being able to have lazy Saturdays in bed, with the window open, a drink on my windowsill next to me, and a book in my lap.
Are those curtains made from canvas drop cloths?
so dreamy! I love it.
Oh my goodness, I love this. If I'd had something similar, I'm sure I would have spent so many hours in there as a young girl.
As a design, it is adorable, but I'd not recommend on a toddler room, as the designer has. The lid could pinch fingers, and the window presents a risk of falling.
Very very sweet! I want to relax there too! Can the bookcases/bench support an adult's weight. Love. Yes is there a worry about the windows and little ones?
The lanterns were a stroke of genius! So magical!
Gorgeous! Well done.
What kind of fabric are the curtains? Very pretty!
I think its adorable,but I would like to see different curtains.As for all those posts concerning safety,it makes me wonder how as a young boy of 5,my father dared to build us a treehouse about 10 ft off the ground in an old elm?!? It was accesible by slats nailed to the tree,and all the neighborhood kids spent many happy hours in it for YEARS,and yes,we all fell out at one point or another! Oh,the horror!
I've added this to my inspiration file on my desktop. It looks like a perfect sanctuary. Awesome job!
Love how natural you made it. Nice.
@JOHNCB, I laughed out loud at your comment, above. Good one.
Or if you have a exceptionally tall toddler with a really small head. She could start jumping up and down on the mattress, get her head stuck in one of the lanterns, panic, run around the room, crash into a wall and well you can imagine the rest of that scenario. . .
LOL ceejay1. I can see my 21 year old doing that . . there's no hope.
Dear lord! I could cut the condescension with a knife!
It's as if this project could be the first time in history that a child survived to adulthood with the looming deathrap that is a window seat in their bedroom! Not to mention the curtains- didn't this woman know that the moment you find out you're pregnant you have to rip all the curtains out of your house?? And geez- who puts a LID on a toy storage box? It's like giving your toddler a guillotine... too bad no one has invented any sort of safety latch that could be affixed to doors and windows to keep children safe.
I also think it's also safe to say that (despite one poster's preternatural sense of interior design) a toddler isn't going to critique the decor for not being tailored enough ;)
Sarcasm aside, this is a super cute project, love the dreamy paper lamps. The only suggestion I'd make would be to play around with trim on the other edges of the box to help it blend in to the the other woodwork better.
Thank goodness there are still so many Pebbles As tripping Hazards people around. Without them & their constant warnings about falling skies we would have all died at child birth (incredible that so many of us survived into adulthood by not strangling ourselves to death on our own umbilical cords! Not to mention drowning in our own amniotic fluid!!! LOL!!!) Cute space. Much better than before. If I were a little kid I'd want to curl up with my parent & have a book read to me before falling asleep for an afternoon nap.
ceejay1, talby, & johncb- yes! You guys get it!!!
It looks like the windows don't slide open very far - but that seemed a risk before as much as after if it wasn't addressed (given the piling up of books and such). I'm not sure how a child would open the heavy lid of the toy box in the first place, but maybe they would barely open it, then pinch under the weight?
I wish that AT editors asked about two things - safety issues in children's rooms and why someone chose to paint wood/not restore a piece of wood furniture. Asking those two things would save a lot of discussion about whether or not people had considered the ramifications of their new decor.
That being said, I love the little bird and I want a whole flock. I also want that vibrant quilt!
Someone asked about the curtain - they're muslin, not canvas dropcloth. They're lighter and sheerer, which I think helps.
I wonder what the lanterns look like when lit?
For those that don't remember or never been around toddlers as a caring adult, they can go from sitting nicely quiet to venturing into danger zone in a split second. If there is a place that should be child proof - the toddler bedroom should be it. That nook, no matter how adorable had several dangers for small kids.
As a inexperienced mom, I took the advice of others, but we still had our share of close calls. Learning by experience is important, but should you put at risk your child's life?
As a design site, AT should not be promoting unsafe things for children rooms, like that storage bench.
AT isn't "promoting unsafe things". They are simply featuring, for free, different ideas from different people. There is nothing on this site that says "You MUST do what this person does!" People, adults, have CHOICES! Parents choose things for their kids all the time- for as far back as their have been children & parents. I would wager that many parents who look at this nook & say "Oh! So dangerous!" are probably letting their kids play with the plastic toys in their Happy Meals box. They are also letting their kids sit for hours playing video games & watching mind numbing television programs. Later, to shut up their whining, those same parents give in & buy their kids that sugar laden chocolate bar at the check out line in the grocery store. No parent is perfect. And what works for one family may not work for another. Again, AT is not "promoting unsafe things for children". And neither is the parent who designed this nook. Heck, no matter HOW safe & protective you believe you are, your kid could still choke to death on the gumball you bought him from that machine in the entrance to the store. Unless you hermetically seal your kids in a safe house for 18 years NOTHING you do will protect them from everything!
Lighten up folks! The nook is lovely. I could see my boys (5 and 6) sitting there reading or looking out the window for hours, now and when they were toddlers. In fact, we had a similar, albeit not as nice, set-up in our old house.
I really wish people would stop making big-death-trap assumptions about this and other spaces on AT. Why not assume that the parent has a safety latch on the window? Or maybe the window is old and a bitch to open for an adult, much less a toddler. The curtain cord looks tied into place - seems ok to me. As for the curtains being a strangulation hazard, in your definition so would bed sheets and scarves lying about the house.
Toddlers are more resilient and have more self-preservation skills than you give them credit for. Yes, we've had our share of accidents but one thing I've learned is the best way to keep your kids safe is to <I>educate</I> them, not have them live in a bubble.
@ tia66m- If this site had a "Thumbs Up!" or "Like" button I would press it several times for your comment! Yes, the "Pebbles As Tripping Hazards" (PATH) folks NEED to lighten up before they drown in their own fears.
Yea!!!! So adorable!
it never fails to amaze me how a lovely room / nook like this can result in so many negative comments.
(and rude ones, too - @Elle Urker, if you ever get around to showing your home, i hope people are going to respond the way you do - bah, nasty! that is bad manners, not honesty, my dear.)
i love that nook, and would adopt it immediatey :-)
I love it! Want a cozy little nook like this for myself. However don't like all the lanterns on the ceiling..but besides that...great!
Two thoughts - where is it mentioned that the child is a toddler? And where does it say that the box has a hinged lid? It just looks like a shelf sort of thing to me. Yes, there may be some hazards present here, but why not assume that the parents have addressed them?
Nicely done! I wish I had such a cozy nook for reading or daydreaming when I was a kid.
jeannemarie, if you delve into the designsponge and blog article, it does say that her little one is just under 2 years old, and there's photos where it's clear there's a hinged lid under the mattress.
It's important as all get out to keep kids safe. It's also good to keep a sense of perspective ... boy did I love jumping off the porch roof into snowy drifts as a kid, with my dad right there. Just a couple of latches and simple safety products deserve mention (rather than vitriolic commentary), and beyond that it is a positively dreamy little space. I want one.
Hey! Adorable! Also, I'm one of the people trying to bite my tongue regarding the negative comments above. Wow, folks. I DO understand wanting to protect children but this is getting out of hand. I agree that the world is a dangerous place but, um... If we could all collectively take on a "cause", I'd rather it not be "window seats". I'm just really impressed by the beauty and creativity of this project. Sure, the whole "shabby chic" thing may not be my style, but I'm totally won over by the unusual use of the lanterns. Even MORE won over by the effort that went into it all! Well done!! Really lovely. Your daughter is a lucky girl.
Aww. AT Commenters have a way of ruining projects sometimes. :/ You people can really bum me out sometimes, and other times I love reading the comments. I like the comments that add something USEFUL to the post, toss an idea out that could be incorporated or added in sme way to change up/improve the space somehow... you know creative ideas. These posts about kids stuff always seems to take the same turn someone cries Danger!! and there is a huge debate/fight for the rest of the comments. My parents have the EXACT same set up in their house (You MUST have a Cape Cod!!) and honestly I would love to see something like this in their home. If i ever buy a cape cod I would totally do this! I adore it and she will too for many many years. Because she's going to survive into adulthood enjoying her wonderful little window nook. Grow up AT readers. Grow up already and let it go, this is hardly child abuse. sheesh. Well done and super clever addition of hidden storage. Love it all the way!! Plus as she ages you can switch up fabric and pillows and oh so much fun!!
Fit for a princess :)
Dreamy, the lanterns must looks so pretty lit at night

"Why did you cut your hair?It was long.."
Another girl asked me if I'd suffered from a mental breakdown, to which I answered with a sane smile and a naughty wink,"Maybe."I must admit I did flash back to when Miss.Britney shaved her head bald after her (I assume "speculated") mental meltdown and I had to chuckle.
Let me shed some light on the situation.I had just publicly debuted my really short hair cut, it was a little thicker and longer than a buzz cut but it did cause quite a buzz about me.Everyone was shocked (and I'd be accurate if I said others were plainly mortified), some seemed to genuinely like it (mostly my vanilla friends and co-workers), some didn't have an opinion(as if I couldn't read their facial expressions..and let me say actions do speak louder than words,lol) and my own mother hated it (still does to be honest).
Anyway now of that matters because I'm happy with the decision I made to cut my armpit length chemically straightened hair to grow my hair naturally-kinks, coils, curls and all! It may still be short but I'm going to grow it to my waist and it's going to be so luscious, strong and heathy that I can hardly wait.Although I must admit I'm enjoying the journey every single day(through the highs and lows).
I'm so thankful for God making me just the way I am, if He didn't see me fitting to adorn a head of silky straight strands that my beautiful vanilla sisters have I'm certainly willing to embrace the whirls and swirls that my hair naturally grows out as,mimicking His glorious galaxies and nebulas I love so much.

West Coast has finalised its list ahead of the AFL draft period, resigning key position player Callum Wilson and promising ruckman Will Sullivan, however Jamie McNamara has been delisted.
Wilson, along with Sullivan and Lewis Stevenson, have accepted places on the team list as third-year rookies, following the recent decision by the AFL Commission to allow clubs to sign their rookies for a third straight season.
Subiaco on-baller Adam Cockie will continue his career at the club as a second-year rookie.
Ryan Davis, meanwhile, has elected to nominate for the national draft. He was in the Eagles squad for the past two seasons.
As the club has no veterans on its list, an opportunity exists for two rookie-listed players to be elevated at the end of the pre-season. A third may also be elevated mid-year.
Tyson Stenglein will be delisted after the national draft, which will enable the Eagles to participate in the pre-season draft next year.
McNamara and rookies Ashley Arrowsmith and Liam Bedford have also been delisted.
Chad Fletcher, Adam Hunter and David Wirrpanda have retired, while Mark Seaby and Brent Staker have been traded to Sydney and Brisbane respectively.
The Eagles received Bradd Dalziell as part of the Staker trade.
West Coast has three picks in the upcoming national draft with picks seven, 22 and 23, as well as four rookie picks and a selection in the pre-season draft.
