World view
A comprehensive world view or worldview is the fundamental cognitive orientation of an individual or society encompassing the entirety of the individual or society's knowledge and point of view. A world view can include natural philosophy; fundamental, existential, and normative postulates; or themes, values, emotions, and ethics.[1] The term is a calque of the German word Weltanschauung [ˈvɛlt.ʔanˌʃaʊ.ʊŋ] ( listen), composed of Welt ('world') and Anschauung ('view' or 'outlook')[2] The German word is also used in English.
It is a concept fundamental to German philosophy and epistemology and refers to a wide world perception. Additionally, it refers to the framework of ideas and beliefs forming a global description through which an individual, group or culture watches and interprets the world and interacts with it.
The founder of the idea that language and worldview are inextricable is the Prussian philologist, Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767–1835). Humboldt argued that language was part of the creative adventure of mankind[vague]. Culture, language and linguistic communities developed simultaneously, he argued, and could not do so without one another. In stark contrast to linguistic determinism, which invites us to consider language as a constraint, a framework or a prison house, Humboldt maintained that speech is inherently and implicitly creative. Human beings take their place in speech and continue to modify language and thought by their creative exchanges. Worldview remains a confused and confusing concept in English, used very differently by linguists and sociologists. It is for this reason that Underhill suggests five subcategories: world-perceiving, world-conceiving, cultural mindset, personal world, and perspective (see Underhill 2009, 2011 & 2012).
Edward Sapir also gives an account of the relationship between thinking and speaking in English.[citation needed]
The linguistic relativity hypothesis of Benjamin Lee Whorf describes how the syntactic-semantic structure of a language becomes an underlying structure for the world view or Weltanschauung of a people through the organization of the causal perception of the world and the linguistic categorization of entities. As linguistic categorization emerges as a representation of worldview and causality, it further modifies social perception and thereby leads to a continual interaction between language and perception.[3]
The hypothesis was well received in the late 1940s, but declined in prominence after a decade. In the 1990s, new research gave further support for the linguistic relativity theory, in the works of Stephen Levinson and his team at the Max Planck institute for psycholinguistics at Nijmegen, Netherlands.[4] The theory has also gained attention through the work of Lera Boroditsky at Stanford University.
Weltanschauung and cognitive philosophy
One of the most important concepts in cognitive philosophy and cognitive sciences is the German concept of Weltanschauung. This expression has often been used to refer to the "wide worldview" or "wide world perception" of a people, family, or person. The Weltanschauung of a people originates from the unique world experience of a people, which they experience over several millennia. The language of a people reflects the Weltanschauung of that people in the form of its syntactic structures and untranslatable connotations and its denotations.
The term 'Weltanschauung' is often wrongly attributed to Wilhelm von Humboldt the founder of German ethnolinguistics (see Trabant). As Jürgen Trabant points out, however, and as Underhll reminds us in his 'Humboldt, Worldview and Language' (2009), Humboldt's key concept was 'Weltansicht'. 'Weltanschauung', used first by Kant and later popularized by Hegel, was always used in German and later used in English to refer more to philosophies, ideologies and cultural or religious perspectives, than to linguistic communities and their mode of apprehending reality.
'Weltansicht' was used by Humboldt to refer to the overarching conceptual and sensorial apprehension of reality shared by a linguistic community (Nation). But Humboldt maintained that the speaking human being was the core of language. Speech maintains worldviews. Worldviews are not prisons which contain and constrain us, they are the spaces we develop within, create and resist creatively in speaking together.
Worldview can be expressed as the fundamental cognitive, affective, and evaluative presuppositions a group of people make about the nature of things, and which they use to order their lives.[5]
If it were possible to draw a map of the world on the basis of Weltanschauung, it would probably be seen to cross political borders — Weltanschauung is the product of political borders and common experiences of a people from a geographical region,[6] environmental-climatic conditions, the economic resources available, socio-cultural systems, and the language family.[6] (The work of the population geneticist Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza aims to show the gene-linguistic co-evolution of people).
If the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis is correct, the worldview map of the world would be similar to the linguistic map of the world. However, it would also almost coincide with a map of the world drawn on the basis of music across people.[7]
As natural language becomes manifestations of world perception, the literature of a people with common Weltanschauung emerges as holistic representations of the wide world perception of the people. Thus the extent and commonality between world folk-epics becomes a manifestation of the commonality and extent of a worldview.
Epic poems are shared often by people across political borders and across generations. Examples of such epics include the Nibelungenlied of the Germanic people, the Iliad for the Ancient Greeks and Hellenized societies, the Silappadhikaram of the Tamil people, the Ramayana and Mahabharata of the Hindus, the Gilgamesh of the Mesopotamian-Sumerian civilization and the people of the Fertile Crescent at large, The Book of One Thousand and One Nights (Arabian nights) of the Arab world and the Sundiata epic of the Mandé people.
While Apostel and his followers clearly hold that individuals can construct worldviews, other writers regard worldviews as operating at a community level, or in an unconscious way. For instance, if one's worldview is fixed by one's language, as according to a strong version of the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis, one would have to learn or invent a new language in order to construct a new worldview.
According to Apostel, a worldview is an ontology, or a descriptive model of the world. It should comprise these six elements:
- An explanation of the world
- A futurology, answering the question "Where are we heading?"
- Values, answers to ethical questions: "What should we do?"
- A praxeology, or methodology, or theory of action: "How should we attain our goals?"
- An epistemology, or theory of knowledge: "What is true and false?"
- An etiology. A constructed world-view should contain an account of its own "building blocks," its origins and construction.
Terror management theory
Worldview, according to terror management theory (TMT), serves as a buffer against death anxiety.[8] It is theorised that living up to the ideals of one's worldview provides a sense of self-esteem which provides a sense of transcending the limits of human life (e.g. literally, as in religious belief in immortality, symbolically, as in art works or children to live on after one's death, or in contributions to one's culture).[8] Evidence in support of terror management theory includes a series of experiments by Jeff Schimel and colleagues in which a group of Canadians found to score highly on a measure of patriotism were asked to read an essay attacking the dominant Canadian worldview.[8]
Using a test of death-thought accessibility (DTA), involving an ambiguous word completion test (e.g. "COFF__" could either be completed as either "COFFEE" or "COFFIN"), participants who had read the essay attacking their worldview were found to have a significantly higher level of DTA than the control group, who read a similar essay attacking Australian cultural values. Mood was also measured following the worldview threat, to test whether the increase in death thoughts following worldview threat were due to other causes, for example, anger at the attack on one's cultural worldview.[8] No significant changes on mood scales were found immediately following the worldview threat.[8]
To test the generalisability of these findings to groups and worldviews other than those of nationalistic Canadians, Schimel et al conducted a similar experiment on a group of religious individuals whose worldview included that of creationism.[8] Participants were asked to read an essay which argued in support of the theory of evolution, following which the same measure of DTA was taken as for the Canadian group.[8] Religious participants with a creationist worldview were found to have a significantly higher level of death-thought accessibility than those of the control group.[8]
Goldenberg et al found that highlighting the similarities between humans and other animals increases death-thought accessibility, as does attention to the physical rather than meaningful qualities of sex.[9]
The term denotes a comprehensive set of opinions, seen as an organic unity, about the world as the medium and exercise of human existence. Weltanschauung serves as a framework for generating various dimensions of human perception and experience like knowledge, politics, economics, religion, culture, science and ethics. For example, worldview of causality as uni-directional, cyclic, or spiral generates a framework of the world that reflects these systems of causality.
A unidirectional view of causality is present in some monotheistic views of the world with a beginning and an end and a single great force with a single end (e.g., Christianity and Islam), while a cyclic worldview of causality is present in religious traditions which are cyclic and seasonal and wherein events and experiences recur in systematic patterns (e.g., Zoroastrianism, Mithraism and Hinduism). These worldviews of causality not only underlie religious traditions but also other aspects of thought like the purpose of history, political and economic theories, and systems like democracy, authoritarianism, anarchism, capitalism, socialism and communism.
The worldview of a linear and non-linear causality generates various related/conflicting disciplines and approaches in scientific thinking. The Weltanschauung of the temporal contiguity of act and event leads to underlying diversifications like determinism vs. free will. A worldview of free will leads to disciplines that are governed by simple laws that remain constant and are static and empirical in scientific method, while a worldview of determinism generates disciplines that are governed with generative systems and rationalistic in scientific method.[citation needed]
Some forms of philosophical naturalism and materialism reject the validity of entities inaccessible to natural science. They view the scientific method as the most reliable model for building an understanding of the world.
Other aspects
In The Language of the Third Reich, Weltanschauungen came to designate the instinctive understanding of complex geo-political problems by the Nazis, which allowed them to act in the name of a supposedly higher ideal[10] and in accordance to their theory of the world. These acts, perceived outside that unique Weltanschauung, are now commonly perceived as acts of aggression, such as openly beginning invasions, twisting facts, and violating human rights.
Nishida Kitaro wrote extensively on "the Religious Worldview" in exploring the philosophical significance of Eastern religions.[11]
According to Neo-Calvinist David Naugle's World view: The History of a Concept, "Conceiving of Christianity as a worldview has been one of the most significant developments in the recent history of the church."[12]
The Christian thinker James W. Sire defines a worldview as "a commitment, a fundamental orientation of the heart, that can be expressed as a story or in a set of presuppositions (assumptions which may be true, partially true, or entirely false) which we hold (consciously or subconsciously, consistently or inconsistently) about the basic construction of reality, and that provides the foundation on which we live and move and have our being." He suggests that "we should all think in terms of worldviews, that is, with a consciousness not only of our own way of thought but also that of other people, so that we can first understand and then genuinely communicate with others in our pluralistic society."[13]
The commitment mentioned by James W. Sire can be extended further. The worldview increases the commitment to serve the world. With the change of a person's view towards the world, he/she can be motivated to serve the world. This serving attitude has been illustrated by Tareq M Zayed as the 'Emancipatory Worldview' in his writing "History of emancipatory worldview of Muslim learners".[14]
The philosophical importance of worldviews became increasingly clear during the 20th Century for a number of reasons, such as increasing contact between cultures, and the failure of some aspects of the Enlightenment project, such as the rationalist project of attaining all truth by reason alone. Mathematical logic showed that fundamental choices of axioms were essential in deductive reasoning[15] and that, even having chosen axioms not everything that was true in a given logical system could be proven.[16] Some philosophers believe the problems extend to "the inconsistencies and failures which plagued the Enlightenment attempt to identify universal moral and rational principles";[17] although Enlightenment principles such as universal suffrage and the universal declaration of human rights are accepted, if not taken for granted, by many.[18]
Philosophers also distinguish the manifest image from the scientific image. These phrases are due to the American 20th century philosopher Wilfrid Sellars. This is one angle on the ancient philosophical distinction between appearance and reality which is particularly pertinent to everyday contemporary living. Indeed, many believe that the scientific image, with its reductionist methodology, will undermine our sense of individual freedom and responsibility. So, many worry that as science advances, particularly cognitive neuroscience, we will be dehumanized. This certainly has powerful Nietzschean undertones. When our immediately given, manifest (aka obvious) self-conception is shaken, what is lost for the individual and society? And does it have to be that way?[19] Some questions well worth working on, then, are those concerning the refinement of the manifest view of such centrally important concepts such as free will,[20] the self and individuality, and the possibility of real or lived meaning.
Assessment and comparison of different worldviews
One can think of a worldview as comprising a number of basic beliefs which are philosophically equivalent to the axioms of the worldview considered as a logical theory. These basic beliefs cannot, by definition, be proven (in the logical sense) within the worldview precisely because they are axioms, and are typically argued from rather than argued for.[21] However their coherence can be explored philosophically and logically.
If two different worldviews have sufficient common beliefs it may be possible to have a constructive dialogue between them.[22]
On the other hand, if different worldviews are held to be basically incommensurate and irreconcilable, then the situation is one of cultural relativism and would therefore incur the standard criticisms from philosophical realists.[23][24][25] Additionally, religious believers might not wish to see their beliefs relativized into something that is only "true for them".[26][27] Subjective logic is a belief-reasoning formalism where beliefs explicitly are subjectively held by individuals but where a consensus between different worldviews can be achieved.[28]
A third alternative sees the worldview approach as only a methodological relativism, as a suspension judgment about the truth of various belief systems but not a declaration that there is no global truth. For instance, the religious philosopher Ninian Smart begins his Worldviews: Cross-cultural Explorations of Human Beliefs with "Exploring Religions and Analysing Worldviews" and argues for "the neutral, dispassionate study of different religious and secular systems—a process I call worldview analysis."[29]
The comparison of religious, philosophical or scientific worldviews is a delicate endeavor, because such worldviews start from different presuppositions and cognitive values. Clément Vidal[30] has proposed metaphilosophical criteria for the comparison of worldviews, classifying them in three broad categories:
- objective: objective consistency, scientificity, scope
- subjective: subjective consistency, personal utility, emotionality
- intersubjective: intersubjective consistency, collective utility, narrativity
Streams in contemporary American thought
According to Michael Lind, "a worldview is a more or less coherent understanding of the nature of reality, which permits its holders to interpret new information in light of their preconceptions. Clashes among worldviews cannot be ended by a simple appeal to facts. Even if rival sides agree on the facts, people may disagree on conclusions because of their different premises." This is why politicians often seem to talk past one another, or ascribe different meanings to the same events. Tribal or national wars are often the result of incompatible worldviews. Lind has organized American political worldviews into five categories:
- Green Malthusianism synthesizes mystical versions of environmentalism with alarm about population growth in the tradition of the Rev. Thomas Malthus
- Libertarian Isolationism would abandon foreign alliances, dismantle most of its military, and return to a 19th-century pattern of decentralized government and an economy based on small businesses and small farms.
- Neoliberal Globalism believes that at home governments should provide only basic public goods like infrastructure and security, and do so by market-friendly methods
- Populist Nationalism tends to favor restriction of legal as well as illegal immigration to protect the core stock of the tribe-state from dilution by different races, ethnic groups or religions. Populist nationalism also tends to favor protectionist policies that shield workers and businesses, particularly small businesses, from foreign competition.
- Social Democracy claims an economic safety net, protecting citizens from unemployment, sickness, poverty in old age and other disasters, is necessary if democratic government is to retain popular support.
Lind argues that even though not all people will fit neatly into only one category or the other, their core worldview shape how they frame their arguments.[31]

Fuse Technologies Year-In-Review: An Exciting Launch In 2013 With More To Come in 2014
July 2013 marked the launch of AGCO's new global precision agriculture initiative, FuseTM Technologies. The Fuse strategy and customer benefits were shared with the world at several key events, involving customers and dealers.
AGCO's Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS) leadership unveiled this new strategy at a precision agriculture conference in Lleida, Spain on July 9 and again the following week in Springfield, Illinois at North America's largest precision agriculture tradeshow, InfoAg. The launch was well-received globally, garnering broad exposure on the international business wires as well as with regional media.
Following these launches, Fuse Technologies had a significant presence at the 2013 Farm Progress Show in Decatur, IL, in August. The team hosted two well-attended information sessions during which a panel of AGCO experts and local personalities presented the Fuse strategy and other precision farming topics.
Fuse also had a noteworthy presence at Agritechnica in Hanover, Germany, in November which included the debut of a 3D, interactive smart farm visual that brought the Fuse connected strategy to life for visitors to the AGCO area in Hall 9. Fuse experts were stationed in each brand area to further explain how Fuse helps customers within each brand, and Fuse also had a presence in the Smart Farming exhibit hall.
In the APAC region, AGCO ATS dealers gathered in New Zealand in August for comprehensive training in AGCO's technology offerings. The Fuse South America launch began with the annual dealer meetings in that region: Massey Ferguson dealers in Argentina in November, and Valtra dealers in Brazil in December. The South America customer launch will soon follow with a Fuse presence at regional trade shows starting in early 2014.
An AgCommand website release with new features and updates went live in November, with updates for the mobile app launched this December. There were several product launches at Agritechnica as well: TaskDoc which is now available on select Massey Ferguson combines, VarioDoc availability for select Fendt combines, and Fendt Section Control for most new Profi Plus tractors.
There have also been numerous activities for AGCO employees and dealers to learn about the new Fuse strategy and get excited about how we are delivering on our vision to provide high-tech solutions for professional farmers feeding the world.
What's next for Fuse Technologies? ATS recently launched the Fuse Contact Center, a dedicated, global customer support center, first opened in North America with more regions coming on board in early 2014. The Fuse team will continue to provide ongoing support of the strategy from product development to marketing and communications. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest Fuse news!

The eve of the greatest stepdown in Egypt's history, February 11th, 2011 was a night of jubilation, celebration and love.
We came back from the streets of our district, the 6th of October, part of the greater Cairo suburban community, exhausted, ecstatic and exhilarated. My husband, my six-year-old and my 14-months-old toddler and I danced the night away and sang the songs of freedom that my generation grew up listening to on our national television–songs that were banned years ago because the spirit of freedom, decisively, was sought to be suppressed. We cried, we hugged random strangers, and we felt, for the very first time, free.
The trouble with freedom is that it is like health, only appreciated by those who do not possess it. Where I come from, "the walls have ears" was not just an idiom; it was a mantra to live by. The fear was so well ingrained in all of us, so prevalent, so pervasive that the authorities rarely had to do anything to instigate it. It was self-sustaining, and like a cancer, it slowly grew into a mass many of us thought was inoperable.
We thought the Egyptian people were beyond salvation and doomed to generations of servitude. We expected Mubarak's son, Gamal, to inherit his daddy's estate and thought that nothing could be done.
Even when Ben Ali from Tunisia fled the country and hopes for a similar occurrence in Egypt started to surface, everyone: the media, the journalists and the opposition said, "Egypt is not Tunisia, and Mubarak is not Ben Ali." Indeed he wasn't. Mubarak stepped down only after wreaking havoc in the country and ordering murderers and thugs out of prison to terrorize his own people, and only after he was forced to by the army.
I believe that this is what brought an end to his reign. It fueled the passion and anger which sustained the protestors through fourteen nights of camping out in Tahrir Square; along, of course, with the ludicrous infuriating speeches he made to his people, basically lauding his own accomplishments and putting on his father figure act. Hosni Mubarak made Egyptians angry beyond belief, and they made him pay for it. He stepped down, humiliated, his assets reportedly are frozen and he may even face trial if his accomplice, El-Adly, the minister of interior, lives long enough to testify against him.
But after the anger came the sense of accomplishment and pride and hope for a better tomorrow. We celebrated the victory on the streets of Cairo with complete strangers from all walks of life who looked just like us, felt just like us, and that gave me hope for a united, corruption-free Egypt.
The hilarity of bringing down the tyrant was tinged with the bitterness of all the young lives lost. We were all pained by the blood of our martyrs spilt in Liberation Square, but we know that up there, they are looking down at us, happy and content that their sacrifice was not in vain. To their blessed memory we dedicate a better Egypt, a more just Egypt, an Egypt that stood in solidarity and unity like never before.
On the night of February 11, 2011 we celebrated much more than the fall of one dictator. We celebrated the possibility of a future without tyranny for all.

The Qualicum Acoustic Cafe (QUAC) welcomes a sweet touch of bluegrass music next Friday, with an acoustic, female trio from Victoria.
Called The Sweet Lowdown, the group is comprised of Amanda Blied on guitar and vocals, Shanti Bremer on banjo and vocals and Miriam Sonstenes on fiddle and vocals.
The young women are each musicians in their own right, all starting at an early age and playing in various other well-known Island groups. Blied said the trio plays a mix of traditional sounds, among other genres.
"We're definitely coming out of old time and bluegrass traditions, and North American fiddle traditions, but in addition to traditional music we also write our own music that sometimes, it's definitely not in either of those two categories," she said, adding it could only be classified as folk.
The Sweet Lowdown recently returned from Toronto where they recorded their first full length CD, set to be released in Victoria on June 23.
The trio will play in the Coombs Bluegrass Festival this year, a first for them as The Sweet Lowdown.
The group has never played in the Oceanside area together before and Blied said they are excited to come up next weekend.
Catch them at the Qualicum Acoustic Cafe, Friday, April 1, following open stage performances beginning at 7:30. Tickets are $5, youth are free, available from The Vintage Candy Shop, located at 119 W. 2nd Avenue, beside Gary's Bistro in Qualicum Beach.
If any tickets remain unsold they will be available at the door, but past events this year have all sold out.
The Acoustic Cafe takes place on the first Friday of every month at the Qualicum Beach Rotary House on the corner of Beach and Fern roads.

Are you sure that you want to really get a lawyer involved? Can't you find a close city that is a little more haunt friendly?
If you go the legal route you may have battles all the way through the whole project. If you piss off the city they will make it very hard for you to open. They will not let you slide on anything. You will be made to follow all city, county, state and probably national rules and regulations.
Also, do you have enough money to go all the way with a lawyer? They will want a retainer, probably $2000-$5000 just to get started. Don't forget that the city has lawyers on staff with lot's of experience with these types of matters. If they really don't want you there than most likely they will find ways and reasons not to let you open no matter what.
It's up to you. If you have a location that is perfect and your problems with the city are not to huge than it may be worth it. You may be better off just trying to find a different location.
Just my opinion,
Howie "Slobber" Erlich

So long, conscious brain activity, hello craving for human meat. But the protagonist of the short film Cargo has bigger problems than his impending demise: he has to find a way to save his infant daughter, even if he has to die first to do it.AdvertisementDirected by Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke, Cargo was a finalist in Tropfest Australia 2013. It's also a rather clever take on zombie genre tropes, with a story that isn't about the survival of self, but the survival of another.[via MetaFilter]

After pondering this country's energy future for the past 40 years when our reliance on fossil fuels first came up as a limiting factor to our growth and security, we are no closer to agreeing on a significant course of action than we were when President Jimmy Carter walked that plank in 1980. And like the old married couple who drive around lost—stubbornly arguing over the situation—we find ourselves at the same crossroads we faced all those years ago. Except now, instead of a four-way stop sign, we find this intersection has transformed itself into an unbelievably complex cloverleaf of exits and overpasses.
The choices were clearer and easier back then. Although there were early concerns about environmental quality in the form of air and water pollution, the warnings had been sounded about energy efficiency and alternatives to fossil fuels. And when it came to the basis of information we needed to proceed in the right direction, we had plenty to go on. The fact that we're sitting at the same intersection again 40 years later and having the same national debate is proof that we've been taking wrong turns ever since—and ignoring the clear road signs planted along the way.
So now the energy question we've punted on for 40 years has become much more complicated and dangerous, implicating the accumulating effects of inaction evidenced through the complex web of climate change symptoms and the immense challenges these effects pose against efforts to slow and reverse them.
This fall we are also witnessing a strange yet symbolic convergence—a record-setting heat-and-drought summer that coincides with one of the hottest political debates in recent years, positioning diametrically opposed visions for the goals we need to set and, more important, the path that will lead us to achieve them. I am uncertain where this divisiveness finds its roots or why anyone would play Russian roulette with the future of our planet and its inhabitants, which I can only assume include the families and friends of the politicians who seem to place their own agendas over the health and safety of the people they are supposed to represent.
I guess posturing has taken the place of leadership, partisanship has replaced citizenship, and a closed mind is now mistaken as a sign of clear vision. No matter which side of the political spectrum you're on, we are inseparably joined by a common fate that will be defined by the choices we make today. Inaction is no longer an option.
I can't ignore the important progress we have made over this same time period. Residential design, materials, products, and practices have all advanced well—especially over the past decade. The homes we build today are not only more energy efficient than ever, but they are longer lasting, more comfortable, and healthier places to live. The good news is that with increased leadership and commitment our industry can continue to be at the heart of the turnaround, opening up entire new categories of opportunities for every sector that will contribute to crucial environmental solutions while fortifying the long-term health of the companies that comprise the housing industry. It is heartening to look back and measure our progress.
But I still can't help but wonder where we would be today if we had made different choices when we first faced them in the 1970s. And I worry that 40 years from now, future generations will look back at 2012 and wonder why, when we faced the same challenges, we lacked the vision, courage, and sense of responsibility to choose the right path—with them in mind.
It's as if we're content to sit at this same crossroad and squabble endlessly about which way to head—and we've forgotten that our kids are in the backseat.

September Studio AE Blog Hop from Technique Tuesday
Welcome to the September Studio AE Blog Hop From Technique Tuesday.
This month we are celebrating the third anniversary of Studio AE!
Technique Tuesday offers a monthly stamp club that features a limited edition stamp set designed by me each month. You can check out past stamp sets (some are still available) here.
Say hello to this month's stamp set: Daily Photo
DIGITAL MEMORY KEEPER? Designs similar to this can be found here: This Photo
This month I'm using this stamp set to create some cards for my Week In The Life album (this week I'm doing the documenting and next week I'll be putting the album together).
These measure 2.75 inches x 3.5 inches tall - you could easily adapt this same idea to create cards for Project Life.
Using Memento ink in Pistachio, Love Letter and Teal Zeal I stamped the circles onto white cardstock and hand-cut.
I trimmed off the edge of a few of the circles and adhered them onto pattern transparencies from Allison Kreft & Webster's Pages (Recorded Cards Overlays and a star one that will be released soon) and then slipped them into the 8.5x11 divided page protectors from We R Memory Keepers - one for each day of the week.
Here's a closer look at a couple of them:
I'll be adding photos and more journaling to those pockets next week.
Click on the images to link to the products.
Check out what our awesome creative team did with the stamps this month:
GIVEAWAY | We are celebrating the third anniversary of Studio AE this month at Technique Tuesday and to celebrate we are giving away three $25 gift certificates. To be eligible to win, all you need to do is comment during the hop! The three lucky winners will be announced on the 15th on the Technique Tuesday blog.

Last week it was the Clash getting their own line of Converse sneakers, and now it's Blondie, the most successful band to be reared at the teat of CBGBs. The Blondie sneakers are a little less shocking, since Blondie has been a more visible presence in clothing and shoewear (my nine-year-old cousin owns a Blondie tank top, and she has definitely never heard Parallel Lines), but still, sneakers for a band that started out vaguely punk? Not cool. Though the other dudes in Blondie are probably okay with it, since their face isn't on the shoe at all: Like all things Blondie since the '80s, it's all about Debbie Harry. [Daily Swarm]

CARSON -- Chivas USA played one of the bigger roles in Major League Soccer's expansion draft, surrendering three players and picking up a new right back.
First-year right back Zarek Valentin, the No. 4 overall selection in last January's MLS SuperDraft, was among 10 players the Montreal Impact claimed from rivals' rosters Wednesday, and MLS's 19th club also picked up forward/midfielder Justin Braun and midfielder Gerson Mayen in a trade.
James Riley, whom Montreal grabbed from Seattle, is coming to the Goats, along with allocation money.
The Galaxy did not lose a player in the draft.
Chivas failed to protect Valentin, 20, who "graduated" last week from the Generation adidas program, changing a designation that would have left him exempt in the expansion exercise. Clubs were permitted to protect 11 players, and Montreal -- led by manager Jesse Marsch, a former Chivas USA star -- could take no more than one player off any club's roster.
Valentin, who has enormous potential, started 24 games for Chivas as a rookie, playing in the center and on the right. He came to MLS after winning an NCAA title his sophomore year at Akron. He was listed as Montreal's second choice in the draft, following Houston Dynamo captain Brian Ching, but the order of selection is manufactured; Marsch and his staff made their choices over the two days of intense study and bargaining with clubs around the league.
That's how the Braun/Mayen-for-Riley deal was finalized. A source said Marsch wanted Braun, a former teammate, who was on Chivas' protected list, and Goats coach Robin Fraser agreed to make a deal if the Impact would draft and trade Riley, 29, one of the league's top right backs, to replace Valentin. The seven-year MLS veteran has been a consistent MLS starter sine 2006, his second season, for New England, San Jose and Seattle.
Braun, 24, played in 96 games, 72 as a starter, in four seasons with the Goats, scoring 24 goals, second on the club's all-time list. Mayen (Los Angeles/Manual Arts HS), 22, played in 20 MLS matches in four seasons for Chivas; he spent most of this season on loan to the Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the second-tier North American Soccer League.
Montreal also selected 6-foot-5 San Jose defender Bobby Burling, a former Loyola Marymount standout who was drafted by but did not play for the Galaxy and spent 2½ seasons with Chivas USA, and Columbus midfielder Josh Gardner, who was with the Galaxy in 2004-06.
The Impact later acquired defender Tyson Wahl (Newport Beach/Newport Harbor HS) from Seattle for allocation money.
Ching, the first name on the Impact's list, said Tuesday he would retire if selected by Montreal. The veteran striker has said he'd like to play at least one more season in Houston, where he is the public face of an organization that is opening a new stadium next season. Marsch likely is talking to the Dynamo about trading Ching back.
The full list:
1. F Brian Ching (Houston)
2. D Zarek Valentin (Chivas USA)
3. M Justin Mapp (Philadelphia)
4. D Bobby Burling (San Jose)
5. M Jeb Brovsky (Vancouver)
6. M Collen Warner (Real Salt Lake)

As trainer of Bessemer Trust Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I) winner War Pass, Nick Zito has one sure-fire Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) contender in his barn. On Nov. 24, the Hall of Famer will find out if he has another legitimate threat, as he sends out highly-touted Cool Coal Man in the $250,000 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes (gr. II), a 1 1/16-mile test for 2-year-olds on the main track at Churchill Downs.
Lexington native Rusty Arnold relocated his operation to his home town from New York and the move has paid dividends. It reunited him with longtime client Glen Bromagen, for whom Arnold trains undefeated 2-year-old Wicked Style. Arnold discusses Wicked Style's chances in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile.
Six horses expected to race in the Breeders' Cup World Championships at Monmouth Park received their final works at Keeneland Oct. 20.
Undefeated in three starts, including a solid win in the Lane's End Breeders' Futurity (gr. I), Wicked Style has now achieved prominence as one of the favorites for the upcoming Bessemer Trust Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I) and the title of champion juvenile male. But his greater significance may lie in his importance to the stud career of his sire, Macho Uno. Now third on the freshman sire list, Macho Uno stands as the heir apparent not only to his own sire, Holy Bull, but to an old American line which has managed to stay alive against all odds for over a century.
Look at Wicked Style's sales history, and the 2-year-old son of Macho Uno could almost be defined as the horse no one wanted.
The preps are over and the journey to Jersey begins. This past weekend's stakes orgy did not measure up to the stirring stretch battles and top-class performances we saw the previous week. While there were some big efforts and exciting finishes, it was not a good weekend for favorites, with several big-name stars and division leaders going down to defeat.
A victory in the Arlington-Washington Futurity (gr. III) last month was not enough to convince bettors that Wicked Style was for real. Going off at odds of 11-1, the 2-year-old son of Macho Uno broke sharply from post 12 and never looked back, taking the $500,000 Lane's End Breeders' Cup Futurity (gr. I) by 3 1/4-lengths in front-running fashion Oct. 6.
Although never having officially raced at Keeneland, Wicked Style has done the majority of his training on the Lexington Polytrack. Trainer Rusty Arnold is hoping that will give the talented Macho Uno colt an edge on his 11 contenders in the $500,000 Lane's End Breeders' Cup Futurity (gr. I) Oct. 6.
Wicked Style may have been light on experience heading into the $198,500 Arlington-Washington Futurity (gr. III) but the 2-year-old showed plenty of grit, fighting back after being overtaken in the stretch to defeat Riley Tucker by a head at Arlington Park Sept. 1.
The racing career of Gold Coyote could not have started any more impressively. On Sept. 1, he'll get his sternet test when he headlines a field of eight in the $200,000 Arlington-Washington Breeders' Cup Futurity (gr. III) for a group of promising 2-year-olds.

Possible Severe Weather Wednesday
Viewed: 6058
Posted by: Matt Boster
Date: Jan 28 2013 4:55 PM
A sharp cold front will move across the region during the day on Wednesday. Strong winds in the lower and middle levels of the atmosphere will combine with a relatively warm and moist air mass at the surface, which should allow for the development of a line of showers and thunderstorms. Depending on how much instability can develop ahead of the front, this could support some severe thunderstorms with chances of damaging winds and possibly a tornado or two during the day on Wednesday into Wednesday evening. The possibility of seeing a severe thunderstorm is a bit higher over our AL and FL Panhandle counties, but cannot be ruled out for any county Wednesday and into Wednesday night.

Reviews for Baked Chicken with Pasta Sauce
"This is a very good, very simple recipe. However, I changed a few things to suit it better to my taste. First, I used 3/4 cup bread crumbs and 1/4 monterey chicken seasoning. Also, I added just a bit of butter to the pan during baking to keep the chicken moist. Finally, I added just a bit of mexican style shredded cheese for a different flavor.
Overall, this is a great recipe and my wife loved it. I will definitely try it again!""This was really tasty! I cooked some fettuccine, then put it in a casserole dish sprayed with pan spray. Topped it with the baked chicken, then poured the pasta sauce over all, covered with cheese and extended the 2nd cooking time to 30 minutes instead of 12-14. The sauce and juices from the chicken ran into the pasta, giving it a great flavor boost. Mine doesn't look like the picture, but the variation worked well for us. Served it with a spinach salad topped with feta, sliced salami, and pepperoncini."

By NEMS Daily Journal
Mississippi State tops the latest ranking of college baseball facilities as compiled by Paul Swaney for StadiumJourney.com.
"Make this the first stop on your college baseball bucket list for 2014," said Swaney in his review of Dudy Noble Field, home of the national runners-up for 2013.
Dudy Noble Field nudged out South Carolina's Carolina Stadium and Baum Stadium at Arkansas for top honors.
The top three college baseball venues and five of the top 10 in the just-released rankings are from the Southeastern Conference
– LSU is No. 7 and Vanderbilt No. 9.
Swaney uses seven categories to rank stadiums and MSU gets five stars on four – food and beverage, atmosphere, fans and return on investment.
Mississippi State hosted a school-record five crowds of 10,000 or better in 2013 on the way to record-setting totals in average (8,130) and total (308,967) attendance in a 51-victory season.
Swayze Field at Ole Miss ranks No. 21 overall, with five-star rankings for atmosphere, fans and return on investment.

i've found a few sites that sell zines from the 60's all the way to the mid 90's. some are quite expensive (up to $150) while others are rather reasonably priced ($15-25).
does anyone here collect/buy vintage zines?
where do you get them?
Posted on January 12, 2011 at 1:44am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I love libraries (or any kind of collection, really) so naturally, i love zine libraries.
For me, zines are about sharing information and ideas within a community (if not a global community), and there is no better community for sharing information and ideas than a library. And better yet, I think the thing i I love most about libraries is that it goes with the principal that people are naturally good, and will return the books, so they're free for anyone to use.

Hi all
First I have to say, I love the approach to creating icons of dragging components onto a workspace.
One thing I started coming up against though was the order-dependency of the things you drag on. You need to start in the correct order, since the same 5 things dragged on in different orders will give totally different results. So one idea would be to keep each thing in a separate layer, and allow reordering of layers, and combining layers (like photoshop does). Would need to save some sort of project file for the icon though.
This would be useful when you're working on a series of icons, say for owner-draw buttons, where you need the same icon but with subtle differences to indicate different states of the button.
Another thing that would be useful is a batch-mode method for creating multiple resolutions and colour depths. At the moment, if I change an icon at 48x48, I need to then delete all the other ones and recreate them. This starts to get a bit tedious (but not too much) when you are creating icons with lots of resolution and colour combinations.
Anyway, thanks!

I would have preferred to trade him and basically start all over because unless Sandy has other moves up his sleeve we are still looking at a 75 win team with now a very expensive 3B.
Because if you can better your team and God knows that the Mets need betterment, then anyone can be and should be traded.
I think that Wright is a fine ball player and God bless him for getting everything that he can, but this , " he's the face of the franchise ", nonsense is just that...nonsense !!! Who cares ?
I am not advocating trading David Wright unless you can better your team.
I wish that the Mets had better players around him so Wright could really shine. Wright cannot or never will be able to carry this team, something that Carlos Delgado almost did a few years back. He is just not that kind of a player.

Not knowing anything about them? many people would say the all american white guy over the latino with dreadlocks. To some they rather put a guy like Wright as the face of their franchise over a guy like Reyes, but as I said earlier, there is nothing that suggest that Wright is more stable than Reyes or that he deserved to be here more than Reyes. Both guys seem to have their heads in the right place and are 2 of baseball's good guys.
These are 2 guys that should be playing together for a long time, 2 guys that are cornerstone players, 2 guys that an NY team should be able to have kept not only because they are excellent players and the each of them is one of the best at their position, but both guys seem to be all around good guys.
Well Jomota that is what happens when you get old.
In the end both of these guys are good guys from what we know, obviously we do not know them personally, ut what we do know about them seems to be nothing but positive.
No one player can really carry a team for a season.
And I don't know what you are talking about with Delgado. He played 3 full years here.. he was good the first year...but so was the whole lineup, so he didn't really "carry" it. His second year in 2007, he mostly sucked. In 2008, which might be the year you are referring to, he did have that great second half...but that was after being terrible for most of the first half...so he didn't carry the team the whole year....and the great stretches and bad stretches is precisely what people complain about with Wright. If Delgado's second half of 2008 was "carrying the team" Wright's first half of 2012 certainly was too...and he had considerably less help than Deglado did.
Delgado more than anyone else on that team was a game changer. He practically carried the team on his shoulders for that second half in 2008.
The Mets haven't had anything close to the impact hitter he was since he's been gone. David Wright, as much as I like him, doesnt come close.
"Ain't got the call no more. Got a lot of sinful idears but they seem kinda sensible...."
How about how he carried the Mets offense for the whole 1st half this year? Did we forget that he posted a line of .351/.441/.563/1.004 in the first half this year?
...and that was without guys like Reyes, Beltran and Wright around him, nobody was even close to that kind of production on the Mets and obviously the minute he stopped hitting at that pace the Mets stumbled.
For the record here are the 2nd half numbers of those 4 guys in 2008
Carlos Delgado .303/.386/.606/.991, 21 homers, and 63 RBI
Carlos Beltran .307/.395/.534/.928, 12 homers and 46 RBI
Jose Reyes .289/.345/.459/.804
David Wright .330/.406/.582/.988, 16 homers, 54 RBI
Funny how things are remembered, David Wright was just as productive as Delgado was the 2nd half of 2008. Heck, Beltran was pretty damn good himself too, sorry, but Delgado did not carried the offense on his shoulder on the second half of that year. He had some huge hits, but as always it was those 4 guys doing all the damage for the Mets while their pen imploded and staff went only 5 innings or so.
I will say that Delgado had the homer threat every time he had an at bat.
I'd take both Beltran and Wright over Delgado (in terms of their Mets production...Delgado did have some crazy big years in Toronto).
Both Beltran and Wright were also great the second half of 2008. Delgado was amazing (in July and Sept at least)...but he didn't do it alone.
Maybe Delgado was the most dominant when he was "on"...but he wasn't on enough
