I've previously had very civil conversations with our humble devil and consider him a very entertaining chap indeed. But I'm sure he'll understand that fuckwit is a term which on occasion must be used.
From Devil's Kitchen:
In the meantime, as we labour under the terrible heat of the midday sun [Is this right?—Ed.], here's news of a paper showing that the proportion of CO2 in the atmosphere has not risen over the last 150 years.
To assess whether the airborne fraction is indeed increasing, Wolfgang Knorr of the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol reanalyzed available atmospheric carbon dioxide and emissions data since 1850 and considers the uncertainties in the data.
In contradiction to some recent studies, he finds that the airborne fraction of carbon dioxide has not increased either during the past 150 years or during the most recent five decades.
Which would rather scupper the proposition that rising temperatures are caused by the rising proportion of CO2 in the atmosphere over the last 150 years.
Pretty damning some might think. Unfortunately, this "interpretation" is utterly incorrect.
I spotted this paper a little while ago and had this ready for whichever climate sceptic fell into this hole.
The paper refers to the "airborne fraction," now on first blush this may appear to refer to the fraction of carbon in the air. This "interpretation" is false.
The airborne fraction refers to the amount of carbon emitted by humans which is absorbed rather than being retained in the atmosphere.
There had been some theorising that this fraction may have been changed by humanity's actions, for example deforestation. What Knorr has shown is that the airborne fraction is remarkably stable. What Knorr emphatically does not mean is that the absolute or relative amount of carbon in the atmosphere has been unchanged over the last 150 years.
There is overwhelming evidence that the global atmospheric concentration of CO2 increased from a pre-industrial value of about 280ppm to 379ppm in 2005 (pdf) and the trajectory of these concentration is upwards.
So there we have it – our Monday Climate Fuckwit.

'I fucking hate you!': Iggy Pop goes apeshit during combative (and amazing) 2003 Stooges show
On April 27th, 2003, a reunited Stooges played at Coachella, marking the first time in nearly 30 years Iggy Pop had performed with the Asheton brothers. It went so well that what was supposed to be a one-off gig turned out to be just the beginning. For the next five-plus years, the Stooges toured the world over, playing in front of adoring crowds—for the most part. Six months after the Coachella date, the band had another festival appearance, but instead of encountering their usual audience—fans thrilled to be seeing the Stooges—the group was met with indifference and hostility. This REALLY pissed off Iggy, and brought out the fighting spirit in him. The Stooges' set that evening recalled the confrontational shows of the past, and turned out to be one of the most memorable gigs this version of the band ever did.
In 2003, the annual Voodoo Music Experience festival was held at City Park in New Orleans from October 31st-November 2nd. The lineup was a mix of jam bands, rap acts, and groups that were popular on mainstream rock radio at the time. Plus, the Stooges.
The Stooges' November 1st performance was scheduled between nu metal band Staind and the headlining act, Marilyn Manson. At the conclusion of Staind's set, a good chunk of the young crowd—who we have to presume had never heard of the Stooges—left to check out another one of the fest's stages, while most of those that remained were there to hold their ground for Marilyn Manson. When an MC came out and hyped the upcoming Stooges set, there was faint applause, but the kids went crazy when he mentioned Marilyn Manson.
The Stooges hit the stage at 8:15 pm.
A photo taken by one of the few Stooges fans in attendance.
The first song is their usual set opener, "Loose," from the second Stooges album, Fun House—one of the greatest records EVER MADE—and the crowd just stands and stares. Iggy immediately recognizes that the audience doesn't care, and he becomes combative. Throughout the show, Pop hurls a range of insults at the apathetic kids—including a guy he can clearly see is yawning. The best put-down of the night: "You suck like the bands you like." But there are moments when Iggy's doing his best to stay positive; at one point, he invites the audience to come on stage, though just one dude takes him up on it. Other times, as he unleashes on the dum dums in attendance, the Ig's rage is palpable.
It turned out to be a fantastic performance, despite—no, scratch that—*because* of the aloof crowd, which spurred the band on. It's the closest a reunited Stooges would ever get to the days of Metallic KO.
The band:
Iggy Pop – Vocals
Ron Asheton – Guitar
Scott Asheton – Drums
Mike Watt – Bass
Steve Mackay – Saxophone
This lineup lasted from the Coachella gig until Ron Asheton's unexpected death in 2009.
Lucky for us, a superb-sounding tape of this festival appearance by the Stooges exists, and it's just been uploaded to YouTube.
The setlist:
01. Loose
02. Down on the Street
03. 1969
04. I Wanna Be Your Dog
05. T.V. Eye
05. Dirt
06. Real Cool Time
07. No Fun
07. 1970
08. Fun House
09. Skull Ring
10. I Wanna Be Your Dog (again)
From what I gather, the Stooges' entire set was professionally filmed, and at least one clip has circulated online, but I couldn't find any footage currently streaming on the web. So instead we'll leave you with video of the first four songs from Coachella.

With as much reading as I have been doing over the past few years, I don't think I need any more evidence to answer the 'why' in your statement. :O(

I hope you are having a pleasant day so far. I found your blog through olive branch network. I thought you might be interested in a new site. www.iraqhasavoice.com is a new web site dedicated to collecting open letters from the Iraqi people to the American people. We accept and post all letters. We would love to have your participation.

I've seen a film clip where you admit that you were working for the Ministry of Interior as a "spy" on the foreigners who were in Iraq before March 20, 2003. I was wondering if you told your Baathist bosses to whom Jo Wilding was speaking before the authorities forced her to leave about a week or so into the war.
How does it feel to have worked as a spy for the Baathist government? Any second thoughts about that?

You could have showed the least respect by signing your name. For your (lack of) knowledge, a "fixer" does not mean a spy. It means a guide. Any fixer had to sign a sheet at the ministry of information saying that he/she will not provide foreigners with sensitive or strategic information that might put the safety of Iraq in danger.
If you were asking if I signed that paper, then, no I did not. I did not get the job. I met Jo through an Iraqi friend and we became friends, we never worked together.
There is a great difference between supporting the Baath, and being loyal to your country.
Try to be less cheap.
p.s: the video you are talking about is posted on Alive in Baghdad site.

Thanks for the clarification. I know your father is a Palestinian Jordanian and your mother from Iraq, so I'm assuming that you're actually NOT an Iraqi citizen, but hold a Jordanian passport, right? If so, how can you be loyal to "your country" (which you claim to be Iraq) if you're really Jordanian? How can the Jarrars be loyal to Iraq if none of them actually live in Iraq? The ITM brothers, in contrast, have never left Iraq and continue to work for their country through the good times and bad times.

بلاد العرب أوطاني من الشام لبغداد
The +2 million Iraqi refugees scattered on earth are a million times more Iraqi than the ITM brothers. my brother Raed who lives in DC, is more Iraqi than them. While Raed along with other hundreds of thousands of refugees wish to go back to Iraq to live there, ITM brothers wish that they were been born Americans. They, and everyone who thinks like them, are a shame on Iraq.
More superficiality from you, this is definitely the last time I allow anonymous comments on my blog. I don't need to know thoughts of someone who isn't self-confident enough to even introduce himself.
oh and, according to the new constitution brought to you by America with a full package of freedom and liberation, which I'm sure that you and ITM brothers adore it... the child of an Iraqi woman is Iraqi.
Stop saying foolish things already, you are only embarrassing yourself.

It's pretty hilarious when a family takes their money earned off the blood of the oppressed Iraqis who who were butchered endlessly by your brother's "National Leader" and calls the Iraqis who stay to defend their life and liberty to build a republic less than Iraqi. Sweet irony.
Of course I'm sure the Nazis who fled to South America felt the same way about the Germans who spit on Nazism and stayed to rebuild it as a republic.
And those profiteers who left behind their "success" with Hitler retained their bitterness along with their progeny.
Well it's far better to spend Daddy's ill-begotten gains and serve the dictator's legacy from abroad.
Give a bonus point for loyalty.

As the markets become more uncertain and momentum wanes, a more selective and active approach is required to possibly achieve outperformance or at least avoid undershooting pre-established targets by dramatic margins.
Year of successful Beta-driven results (performance based on pure market momentum) have conditioned most investors in seeking purely passive investment strategies. However, as correlations decrease and volatility increases, more creative and more active approaches may be in order.
One strategy which institutional investors have implemented for years to attain a more selective approach to stock ownership is the so-called Cash Covered Equity Put strategy.
In this case, an investor gets to buy stock at a discounted price and he/she gets to collect a premium while waiting for execution.
But how does it work in practice and what are the risks involved?
In this strategy, an investor sells a put option at a strike price below the current market price of the desired stock and collects a premium for taking on the obligation to buy the stock at that predetermined price.
Let's assume we like Apple, but we find the current price of $195 per share excessive, we could then sell a put option with a strike price of 180 (which means we agree to buy the stock a 180, should Apple drop below that level) and in exchange we receive a premium. Simultaneously, we set aside enough cash to cover for the possible situation in which we may have to purchase the stock.
In essence, what we are really doing is to place a buy stop at a level which we find attractive for that particular stock and we get paid to wait for execution! Additionally, the cash used as collateral will continue to earn risk free interest (albeit rather low these days…).
The risk involved is that the stock might trade significantly below the strike price. In this scenario, the put will be assigned and the investor will become long the stock at the strike price carrying an unrealized loss in his/her position. The maximum loss would be if the stock drops to zero, in which case the loss will be the total invested in the stock minus the premium received for the put option. Of course, this would have happened even in the situation where the investor buys the stock using a simple buy stop order. In this case, however, the investor would not even have the consolation of the option premium received. This scenario is an extreme case and it also implies that no risk management will be used at any time during the trade.
Naturally, the key is to select equities that provide certain favorable characteristics. For instance, one should look for companies that can comfortably be owned for a reasonable investment horizon. Strong franchises, with good dividends undergoing short-term turmoil are often positive candidates. Special situations are also possible contenders.
The Cash Covered Equity Put strategy can also be complemented with additional options overlays if the puts get assigned. For instance, one could receive premium for selling the put, get assigned, use the secured cash to buy the stock and then sell calls against the new long position and receive more premium.
Ultimately, this strategy is an optimization of the process of acquiring stocks, especially in a market that may see more volatility occurring. It also a clever way to force selectivity and a more active role in building net-long portfolios. It can also be considered an income enhancing strategy because of the premium that is recurrently received.
Over the years this strategy has been implemented not only by institutional players and options traders but also by tech companies as part of their buy-back programs, a validation of the merits of this approach.
At THALASSA CAPITAL, we actively manage this strategy and we encourage clients, whose risk profile and investment needs fit this approach, to contact out Team for a more detailed analysis of this plan.

A new website... again
Yes your eyes are working. I decided to give this site a whole new look. And while I was on it I decided to give it an overall remake.
The thing is now completely coded by myself so I don't have to worry about changing Plugin-APIs or things like this. The site now also features a more or less fully featured issue tracker. If there will be any need for a forum in the future I'll happily add one to this site.
Now I have time to code other things again :)

From my youth I pretty much just lived life the way I wanted, and to be honest, it never really led me anywhere great. I saw a glimmer of hope in my 20s when I met the woman I would later marry. Although we had some good times, we also had our share of struggles, and over time the struggles began to take over. By our 7th year of marriage divorce seemed to be the only option for us. We tried several things to work it out. We had earlier sessions of counseling, we tried reasoning with each other, just nothing seemed to help. I was starting to feel there was no hope. I remember we were on the way out and I was working my way through a divorce packet. That week I got the call..
I got the word my Grandfather died. Grandpa was a World War II Vet turned Pastor. It was in a bunker when he made the decision to change his life, "if he ever got out of there". He survived the war, went home and then went to school to become a preacher. He walked with the Lord from that point on. So when I learned of his passing my mom, dad, sisters and I made the plan to fly out to Minnesota and attend his funeral service.
At the service I remember sitting in the church pew alone, watching a slideshow. Both through the memories I had of him, and that slideshow, I can see how fulfilling, and content he was in his life. Even through they faced issues with their health in their later years, they still looked so content. Something happened to me that day, something changed in me. I felt broken and I couldn't hold back the tears even though I tried to with all my might. My heart changed and my attention was on the Lord for the first time in years. Perhaps more-so than its ever been.
I went home with a new plan, a plan to follow Christ and his ways. To be the husband God calls me to be. I began this journey by going back to church. At first this was very difficult and the issues seemed to spiral out of control. I finally came to this point of full surrender. And that's when everything began to really change. Everything I was taught from my earlier years about God and his word began to make sense and become clear to me. It was like the blinders were taken off by the grace of God. I remember in the midst of a breakthrough in our marriage, it was in that moment of surrendering and following Jesus. And in that moment of reconciliation between me and my wife, I received an experience of being in the presence of God, as we were going through a time of forgiveness. No doubt, God was there. There is no way we could have went through that without him. He blessed me with the understanding of true forgiveness, and by his word and his finished work at the cross, he offers true forgiveness to you and me. I recall hearing in my heart and mind a very clear "now you see" and I knew it was Jesus. And as I've been following, his word continues proving true again and again. Today life is so meaningful. Marriage and life will always bring its share of challenges but with God in our lives, its different now. We have a genuine love for each other. God brings Joy, contentment and hope. I wouldn't trade any of these few recent years for any of the years prior to knowing him. I love God for being with us through it all and helping us. I love him for all he has done for me. I feel we literally tried everything, but it was God who set us free.
A special thanks to my Grandpa and Grandma for being a light into our world…

Final issue! Lucas jumps into the future for the first time and discovers what the influencer demon's plans will lead to.
Lucas Stand has been great at focusing in on character while the premise does its thing. This makes it easy to put yourself in Lucas' shoes and go on the ride with him. This conclusion has a fitting ending, flipping the script to re-up the excitement. Read Full Review
It also helps them nicely set up a second run of comics if they choose to do so, with Lucas Stand ending not with complete resolution but rather a revived mission statement, and a character very much prepared to continue his bloody, vengeful & yet cathartic travels through time slaying demonic evil. On the strength of this visually impressive, tough cookie comic run, his story deserves to continue. Read Full Review
Kurt Sutter and Caitlin Kittredge's Lucas Stand started on a high that it had difficulty reaching in the following issues. The central character hopped through time like a drug addled Sam Beckett from Quantum Leap and the narrative often fell too easily into time travelling cliches. However Lucas has arrived in the future and the comic has the opportunity to dig into his psyche in ways not possible previously. Read Full Review
Unfortunately, Kurt Sutter didn't seem to be pulled from his episodic television methods with Lucas Stand and there was a lot of drama at the end that didn't really pay off for readers. I'm not exactly sure where we leave Lucas at the end of this series or what he learned throughout the series, but I wouldn't put it past him to run another minivan off the road. Were any lessons really learned in the end? Lucas Stand might as well have left our protagonist and anti-hero in the same place we found him at the start of the series and that's not saying much… Read Full Review

I've continued my Frank Viola reading kick. Right now I'm reading "From Eternity To Here."
Viola is unveiling and connecting the dots on an overused and under appreciated or misunderstood phrase. That phrase…"the bride of Christ."
Viola connects the dots from the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelation on God's eternal purpose and the churches role as the bride for His son.
Most captivating is Viola's insistence and enlightening view of Jesus' pursuit of the woman He relentlessly loves.
Viola's view sheds much brighter and vivid light onto the purpose, design and shadowy image of God's object lesson…marriage.
I'm thankful to continue learning that the church is a living, breathing, beauty. An organism of vibrant life that is engaged in the love affair with Jesus. All of us, made alive in Christ, who have died with Christ are a member of this gorgeous body that Jesus will return and claim as His own.

Today I was supposed to go on a little undercover mission at the library, hehe, but there were so many eyes on me that I couldn't do a thing! Let's see if I can do it tomorrow ;). Anyways, since I'm already here, I have a question to ask you: do you think I overdo my eye shadow?
Why am I asking such a silly question? You must be wondering. Well, this morning, while I was waiting for the library to open, there was this young (and weird looking) man; he approached me and we had some sort of strange conversation ... I'll transcribe the dialog.
"I like your eyeshadow!", the weird boy said with a funny smirk on his face.Nothing too amusing, I know, but I want to focus on the first statement. Does my make up stand out too much? I'm only asking because this is actually the second time someone brings it up. A few weeks ago, while I was at David's brother's house, his two nieces were creating an avatar of me in the Wii. They were about to finish making me, when David's 6 year-old niece, said, "Wait! I want to put the blue eye shadow!". Hahaha! :). I thought that was so cute of her!
"Hahaha! Thank you," I replied.
"Where are you from?" he asked.
"I'm from Argentina,"I said.
"But you look Asian!" he retorted.
"Hahaha! Well, my dad's Japanese; that's why," I explained.
"But you look Asian ..."
So, let's see ... I took this picture this morning after running into the strange boy.
In your opinion, am I overdoing the eye shadow? I'm sorry for this so uninteresting post, but I'm curious, ha.

'Mountain Men' TV series features former Rockford residents
They see wolves outside their Montana home in the woods. And a grizzly tore into a pigeon house on their property last fall. But their fear is forest fires, with lightning storms a big concern.
Former Rockfordians Tom and Nancy Oar's surroundings and lifestyle will be featured on a new "Mountain Men" series on the History Channel starting May 31. Tom tans mostly deer hides, as well as mink and beaver, to sell as their main source of income. Nancy has killed chickens for their meals; the nearest grocery store is 50 miles away. A History Channel news release calls Tom and the other two men who will be showcased as "true American originals." And it says "these Mountain Men are the last of their kind, and the clock is ticking."

Fort Peck Dam featured in new MontanaPBS documentary premiering May 21
The construction of the colossal dam at Fort Peck, Mont., which manifested the promise of America when it was built 75 years ago and still stands as one of the greatest achievements in the history of the American West, is the subject of a historical documentary that will premiere at 8 p.m. Monday, May 21, on MontanaPBS.
Compiled from thousands of archival photographs and hours of film, mixed with modern footage, "Fort Peck Dam" tells the story of the dam's construction in human terms. The idea for the project was born in the midst of the Great Depression, when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt set to tame the mighty Missouri River by building what was, at the time, the world's largest dam.

NatGeo will air series about Montana Hutterite colony
A new documentary series following a Hutterite colony in Montana will soon air on the National Geographic Channel. Aaron Flint, a radio talk show host on the Northern News Network, says that last month he was staying at The Yogo Inn in Lewistown and learned that there was a documentary crew in town to film the King Colony near Lewistown.
The producer of the program, Jeff Collins, will be the guest on Flint's "Voices Of Montana" radio program on Tuesday, May 29th. "Voices Of Montana" airs on KQDI in Great Falls weekdays at 9 am. The documentary series, titled "American Colony: Meet The Hutterites," will begin airing on the National Geographic Channel on Tuesday, May 29th.

'Where the Yellowstone Goes' filmmakers follow
While on a backcountry snowboarding trip together, Robert Hawkins, a Bozeman native and fly-fishing guide, mentioned to Hunter Weeks, a documentary filmmaker, his dream of someday floating the entire length of the Yellowstone River.
"You could just tell that the gears kind of started turning in his head," Hawkins said of Weeks.
"I said that sounded like a really incredible journey, and it would also make a good film," Weeks said.
Thus, the documentary film, "Where the Yellowstone Goes," which has its world premiere this weekend in Bozeman, was born.
"I wasn't aware of the significance of the river at that point," said Weeks, the film's director.
The Yellowstone is the longest undammed river in the lower 48 states. "Where the Yellowstone Goes" documents the 34-day float trip of the legally floatable portion of the Yellowstone River — from just outside Yellowstone National Park in Gardiner to the confluence of the Missouri River at Fort Buford, N.D. While the film includes plenty of fly-fishing, it also looks at issues that impact the river's conservation and history. The film introduces to viewers the locals the crew met along the way and shows both the booming cities and dwindling towns through which the river passes.

Montana hotel to be featured on national TV show
A historic downtown Billings hotel will soon be featured on a national television show.
Travel Channel's Hotel Impossible is coming to Billings next week to film an episode on the Dude Rancher Lodge. The show debuted in April and each episode features a hotel that is having problems or is not living up to its potential. Hotel Impossible performs a major transformation that helps get the hotel back on track and improve their business.
The Dude Rancher Lodge has been a part of Billings since 1950 offering guests a rustic, western-style stay while in the Magic City. The hotel is even a part of the Haunted Billings Tour every fall.
A Travel Channel publicist says the episode is set to air on the Travel Channel in early July.

MAPS student's film nominated for regional Emmy award
The MAPS Media Institute after-school program is all about guiding students. It leads teens through real experiences of creating media content for clients. The teachers' and students' hard work was recently rewarded with a nomination for an Emmy award from the Northwest chapter of the National Academy of the Television Arts and Sciences.
The nomination was for director Luke McLean's short film, "No Excuses, No Limits." The film was made for Vocational Rehabilitation, a job service in Missoula focused on helping disabled Montanans. It features several people who used the service and overcame their disabilities in a great way.
"It's really inspiring," said MAPS founder and president Peter Rosten. "Being disabled does not, certainly in their lives, present a stop sign. All they see is green lights and they go for it."

An Iraq Series: Where we are heading, Why we're there, and so on
Seeing as declaring Iraq to be a "debacle" that has "destroyed" America's place in the world seems to be all the rage today I figure I would do a series of posts dealing with different aspects of the Iraq war from an unabashedly pro-war perspective. Hopefully I will touch on some issues that you may not have heard of so that whether you were for/against it from the get go or for it before you were against it there will be some food for thought. The first part, as the most important part, deals with the prospects going forward of Bush's overall strategy not just in Iraq but with the war on terror in general. The second part looks back at my reasons for supporting the invasion of Iraq which only peripherally overlap with the official reasons and which also pre-date the Bush Administration. The third part deals with the mistakes we've made, as best as can be determined from this still early date, from the standpoint of what we can learn from them. The last part is whether and to what extent this has damaged our place in the world.

Thanks for the pre-interest. I intended to have the first post at least done but it took a little longer than expected.ReplyDelete
We fight an enemy that wears no uniforms or other definitive markings from the general population. In WWII, we easily recognized the enemy by their outfitting - not so here.ReplyDelete
In a country where everyone may be the enemy, we continue to fight a war of kindness so we do not alienate the general population.
We fought this same kind of war in Vietnam - it did not work then and it will not work now. It is our failure in Vietnam that emboldened the enemy (terrorists) to 'take us on'.
We cannot lose in Iraq - no matter what the cost - for if we do, we will fight them here from within our cities.

In Response to Donald Low
By Donovan Choy |
Donald Low responded to my piece from yesterday. In his response, he now concedes that the concept of market failures is given coverage in introductory econ classes. But I'm afraid this was not the impression given to his readers from his original co-authored article, which in my opinion gave more the impression that Econ 101…Read More →
Econ 101 Does Not Only Justify Free Market Policies
By Donovan Choy |
In a recent Straits Times article, Benjamin Goh and Donald Low warned readers against the use of simplified economic theory in informing public policy. They point out that economic proposals such as free trade benefiting society and the minimum wage reducing employment may in fact simply be expressions of 'the speaker's ideology or dogma', and…Read More →

It's hard not to love the Disney princesses. It's also hard to deny that the Disney villains are pretty awesome, too. But what if we were to re-imagine the Disney villains as princesses? Now there's a twist.
Many talented artists on the web have used their amazing skills to create images of the bad guys and women from Disney films and turn them into princesses. It's an interesting concept and not one you would come across all the time. For instance, we've seen the Disney princesses re-imagined as teenagers and the like, but people rarely imagine new takes on the villains.
We've put together a bunch of amazing concepts that Disney fans and artists have created, showing that villains can be pretty princesses, too.
15 Hans from Frozen
The man who fooled Princess Anna into thinking he loved her immediately after meeting her looks quite beautiful in this artist's interpretation of him as a princess.
This artist took Hans' costumes and turned them into dresses. They definitely did a spectacular job. We love the way they also incorporated Hans' gray coat into the look and made it more feminine.
We also love the way this artist gave Princess Hans a braid, similar to Elsa's. Braids are a popular hair trend in Norway, which is where Frozen takes place. The updo in the middle image is a nice touch, too. Seeing as the middle image of Hans is wearing a necklace and has a glass of champagne in her hand, we are assuming this is her "fancy party look". Gorgeous. We also love the white gloves!
14 Jafar from Aladdin
This artists depiction of Jafar, the villain from Aladdin, looks a lot like Princess Jasmine. They turned the costume Jafar wears into a dress and softened the harsh red colors of his wardrobe with a touch of purple.
This is an interesting take on what Jafar would look like if he were a princess. The original Jafar isn't the most attractive character but this princess version is stunning.
We love the way this artist used soft edges in this piece and how they included the snake staff. We also love how they made the head piece a bit more feminine with it draping around Princess Jafar's face.
We can't help but wonder what Princess Jafar would be like if she were a real character. Someone needs to make that happen.
13 Shan Yu from Mulan
This artist took the big bad guy from Mulan and turned him into a fierce looking warrior princess. The creativeness of this artist is very impressive. They even included Hayabusa, Shan Yu's pet falcon. They also gave Princess Shan Yu the same yellow eyes that the original character has.
This idea of a princess version of Shan Yu is pretty darn awesome and the character looks like a total BAMF. We love the super long finger nails and the "do not mess with me" look on her face. The coat with animal fur is a nice touch, as well, as it takes from the original character's wardrobe and spins it to make it a bit more feminine. We also love the includion of Shan Yu's hood, which he sometimes wore in the movie.
12 Hades from Hercules
Okay, so this princess version of Hades is pretty freakin' gorgeous, we're not gonna lie. The blue and fiery hair is pretty epic and the skull earrings are priceless, as well.
Hades' teeth have stayed the same; sharp and pointy. Those blue eyes are so fierce and those eyebrows? To die for. The dress she has on is fabulous, too. The artist that created this version of Hades clearly has a lot of talent.
Our favorite thing about this image are the bright blue hues that quickly catch your eye. Even though Hades lives in hell, the cool tones used in this image makes this version look more like an ice princess. Elsa, anyone?
We also must add that Hades definitely makes one attractive princess.
11 Captain Hook from Peter Pan
Tick tock, tick tock. That's the sound that Captain Hook's nightmares are made of.
This artist has taken the big bad from Peter Pan and turned him into an ever so pretty princess.
Sticking with Hook's traditional color of red, this artist fitted princess Hook with a red dress filled with golden tassels. They also did a great job of including Hook's hat with the large feather sticking out the top.
We love that this artist designed two different versions of princess Hook; one a little bit more fancy than the other. We love the short dress in the drawing on the left and the inclusion of the watch. These are super cute interpretations of what Hook would look like as a princess and it's fun to imagine this ultra bad dude in a different way.
10 Gaston from Beauty and the Beast
Is it just us or does this artist's interpretation of a female Gaston look like Wonder Woman? It's probably the jet black hair, the strapless outfit and belt.
This artist decided to keep the yellow gloves and red ensemble that Gaston wears and turned his outfit into a strapless dress and put a large yellow bow in her hair. A newly added touch are the red rose earrings, which fit in well with the Beauty and the Beast theme.
Something tells us this version of Gaston would be one tough chick. Gaston wasn't the brightest character in Beauty and the Beast, but we like to think Princess Gaston would be a little bit smarter. Maybe she would even someone who read books... and not just for the pictures!
9 Madame Tremaine from Cinderella
Madame Tremaine, also known as Cinderella's evil step mother, looks a lot more innocent in this artist's drawing of her as a young princess. The dress young Tremaine is wearing is purple, while the one she wore in Cinderella was more red and covered up her entire chest. The dress this artist drew is definitely more youthful and we love the serious look on princess Tremaine's face, as it is true to her character. We also love the purple eyeshadow. The choker around her neck was a nice touch, too.
This artist chose to draw young Tremaine with her hair pulled back, similar to the way the original Tremaine in Cinderella wore her hair. Overall, this is a nice take on a princess version of the woman we love to hate in this classic fairytale.
8 Ursula from The Little Mermaid
Ursula from The Little Mermaid was a large octopus with a double chin who decided to steal Princess Ariel's voice. In this drawing, an artist who goes by the name of "J" has recreated Ursula as a beautiful young woman, complete with the seashell necklace that holds Ariel's voice.
Unlike the origina Ursula from the film, this version of the villain has long flowing hair and striking blue eyes. One of the things that the artist didn't change, however, is Ursula's red lips, as well as her dangling purple earrings.
We did get to see a human version of Ursula in The Little Mermaid, as a character named Vanessa, but she looked completely different from this version. She had long dark hair and didn't look like the octopus version of herself at all.
7 Cruella from 101 Dalmations
Cruella DeVille collected puppies to make fur coats. She's not exactly a character that animal lovers are a fan of.
In this artist's recreation of Cruella, she is a young woman decked out in all black and white, with the exception of her red gloves and heels.
The original Cruella was also usually decked out in all black and white, but her dress was a solid black color, with a fur coat made of dalmatian.
In this artist's recreation of Cruella, they gave her a black dress with a twist, by adding lace to the bottom of it and dalmatian fur on the top. They also took the ring Cruella wore in the film and made it into a necklace. All this version needs is a fur coat!
6 Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland
The Queen of Hearts from the original animated Disney version of Alice in Wonderland was a large woman who enjoyed yelling. She wore no makeup and wore her hair in a tiny, tight bun.
This version of the queen resembles more of a Disney princess. While still wearing that small crown, this artist, by the name of "J", recreated the character and gave her makeup and hair that has been well groomed. This artist also added a choker around the character's neck with a heart in the center. They also gave this version of the character black nail polish, which was a nice touch.
As for the dress itself, it's very similar to the original as far as colors and patterns go, but this version is much less cartoonish and very pretty.
5 Evil Queen from Snow White
The Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs had two different forms in the animated movie. She appeared as a queen as well as an old haggard woman.
This version of the Evil Queen shows her in a similar outfit, but one more fit for a princess.
The queen in the film actually has her hair covered, but in this version, it looks like she just has really short black hair. This princess version does have the Evil Queen's signature red lips, though, as well as the gold crown on top of her head.
This artist decided to give the young queen a sour expression on her face, which fits the character well. It would be interesting to see a cheerful side of her, though. If the Evil Queen were a Disney princess, however, we do believe she would look something like this.
4 Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty
Maleficent is the villain from Sleeping Beauty who sometimes takes the form of a fire-breathing dragon. In the original Disney animated film, Maleficent has green skin and wears a black robe that's purple on the inside.
This artist kept the green skin intact for Princess Maleficent and got rid of the horns on her head. They also gave her long, black hair.
They gave Maleficent a strapless dress and kept with the original black and purple colors that the character wore in the animated film. This artist stuck with Maleficent's purple eyeshadow, but added in some jewelry, including a gold necklace, matching gold earrings and a gold band across her forehead.
We can totally see Maleficent looking like this if she were a Disney princess.
3 Mother Gothel from Tangled
This drawing of Mother Gothel from Tangled is a shocking sight to be seen, as it is dramatically different from the Gothel we know from the film.
If Mother Gothel were a Disney princess, she might look like this. As we all know, Gothel uses Rapunzel's hair to keep up her youthful appearance, so if she really had her way, she would probably look like she does in this drawing: super sexy.
The Gothel in this recreation of the character is clearly very in shape and well groomed. We love how the artist included Rapunzel's golden blonde hair in this image and the sexy twist on Gothel's wardrobe.
We also love the leg popping out of the dress as well as the boots she has on.
2 Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog
Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog is a witch doctor who does not like people who are wealthier or more powerful than him. He wanted to rule all of New Orleans and was the main bad guy in the film.
The recreation of the character as a young woman in this drawing sticks with the tradition of New Orleans, where the film takes place, and has the character waring Mardi Gras beads around her neck.
The hat that Facilier wears was kept in this drawing, as was his cane. His wardrobe was kept mostly the same, but his outfit was turned into a dress. This artist is definitely very creative while staying true to the original characters. We can now only imagine what the personality of Princess Facilier would be.
1 Stromboli from Pinocchio
A princess with a puppet show. Stromboli was the main antagonist from Disney's classic animated film, Pinocchio. He had a puppet show and wasn't exactly the nicest guy on the planet.
This artist's interpretation of a young female Stromboli is pretty funny. They kept the outfit the same, but made it suitable for a young woman and turned his pants into a short skirt. Stromboli had a big grin with large teeth and this artist kept that in this drawing which is awesome. We love the knee-high socks and heels, too. The pigtails are also kind of perfect.
If Stromboli was a young woman or a princess, we imagine she would look something like this.
Kudos to the artist who came up with this version of the character.

Esther is often the person celebrated in this book. She's the one chosen as queen. She's the one who risks her life and goes before the king. But sometimes I wonder why the book of Esther wasn't named for Esther's cousin and adoptive father, Mordecai.
Though often behind the scenes, this man plays an important role in foiling Haman's plot against the Jews and supporting Esther in her role as queen.
Mordecai, a man of action.
Esther's cousin does not seem like the kind of man to sit still. He has a heart of compassion and a need for justice. He's a fighter, but the fist-flailing kind. He fights with little actions that make a world of difference.
When Esther is left orphaned, he takes her in and brings her up as his own daughter. When the edict is issued from the king that beautiful young women are to be brought to the harem, Mordecai forbids her to make her Jewish heritage known, lest harm come to her. And once she was taken to the palace "every day he walked back and forth near the courtyard of the harem to find out how Esther was and what was happening to her" (2:11).
His love and compassion toward Esther is obvious in the actions he takes to protect her.
But love for his cousin isn't the only thing motivating his actions.
Mordecai is also driven by a sense of justice.
Soon after Esther is named queen, Mordecai is sitting at the king's gate when he hears of a plot to kill the king. Making sure he isn't noticed, Mordecai leans in a little closer as two of the king's guards conspire to assassinate the king.
Though a Jew by birth and descended from those brought into exile by the Babylonians, Mordecai seems to be well established in the Persian community and cares for his king. Or at the very least, he knows murder, especially of a ruler, is wrong and will only tip the kingdom into chaos.
Using his connection to the queen, Mordecai sends a message to Esther, alerting her of the plot. When Esther passes on the news and saves the king's life, the tip is credited to Mordecai–an honor he most certainly did not expect.
It seems the humility Esther possessed, which we talked about last week, was learned by the example of Mordecai.
Mordecai, a man of faith.
Things calmed down for a while and Mordecai went about his business again, keeping tabs on the queen, until the day Haman's plot to destroy the entire Jewish nation is announced: "When Mordecai learned of all that had been done, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went into the city, wailing loudly and bitterly" (4:1).
Torn clothes and ash-covered bodies were outward signs of mourning in ancient cultures. When tragedy struck and despair came over the people, they would do just as Mordecai did.
When Esther tries to send clothes to him, he denies them and later sends news about what has happened. And somehow he knew all the details because he told Esther's servant "everything that had happened to him, including the exact amount of money Haman had promised to pay into the royal treasury for the destruction of the Jews" (4:7).
Though Esther is concerned, Mordecai senses the fear in her response. Mordecai had requested Esther go before the king and plead for their lives, but Esther seemed hesitant.
"When Esther's words were reported to Mordecai, he sent back this answer: 'Do not think that because you are in the king's house you alone of all the Jews will escape. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this" (4:12-14).
Mordecai calls Esther to action. He tells her to lay aside her fear and her belief that she might escape harm if she stays quiet. He calls her to act on behalf of her people and reminds her that Yahweh will provide. If she chooses to keep quiet, He will raise up someone else to step in and stop this madness; but Esther will perish.
Though it's been generations since his family walked the streets of Jerusalem, Mordecai still holds tightly to his faith. Despite the fact that he still lives in exile, Mordecai believes that his God will protect His people. And he urges Esther to consider that maybe she was chosen queen for this very reason: to save her people.
Mordecai's speech worked because three days later Esther went before the king and made her heritage known, pleading with the king to save her and her people. Haman is hanged for his plot and Mordecai is given the position of second in command. He's given full authority to write a new edict that allowed the Jews to fight back on the day of their destruction and take the land and possessions of those who try to kill them.
The book ends with the words that make me wonder why it wasn't named for Mordecai as well: "Mordecai the Jew was second in rank to King Xerxes, preeminent among the Jews, and held in high esteem by his many fellow Jews, because he worked for the good of his people and spoke up for the welfare of all the Jews" (10:3).
Mordecai didn't sit still. He acted in love, fought for justice, and did what he believed was right, never expecting recognition. And for that he should not only be celebrated, but we should also learn from him.
There are so many things going wrong in our world, and we can't just sit around and do nothing. The actions we take don't have to be big, but we should be willing to stand up and do something.
I'm not going to tell you to join a cause or fight for justice in a particular way. You know what stirs up your heart, what gets your blood pounding in your ears. For Mordecai, it was a love for his people.
So what gets you fired up? What are you willing to fight for? What is one step you could take today to help even one person and show them God's love. How can you call others to action like Mordecai did?
Live in His love!
**If you are looking for an organization to partner with on a global scale, these are two I believe in:
Compassion International partners with individuals to provide food and supplies for children in poverty. You can sponsor a child, send support to needy areas, and send supplies like livestock, Bibles, and provide education through their gift catalogue .
Preemptive Love goes into the war-torn areas that have seen some of the most violence and provide supplies, medical care, and hope to those effected. There are times I look at this world and I wonder what I can do about all the devastation. Sending aid through them allows me to play a role in the relief efforts.
If you're interested in learning more about these organizations or partnering with them, you can find their websites here:

I felt like posting this, since it's that time of year.
From the first time I watched An Easter Carol years ago I was moved by this song. It's my favorite VeggieTales moment.

Now a husband and father who, unfortunately, has little time for this place anymore. =(
