About · I like things and I like to share things. I like to think that I think well on my own.“He appeared normal. He spoke and behaved just like anyone else. The fact that he had no heart was very well concealed. Well, that’s not entirely true. He did have one. It was just not in his possession at the moment. And this is where the story gets complicated. The woman who had the darn thing was blithely unaware of the fact. Well, that’s not entirely true either. She knew that she’d left the relationship with more stuff than when she entered it, she just hadn’t bothered to do a proper inventory. (Had she done so, she would have found several other hearts, as well as a few sets of balls.) Regardless, his dilemma remained the same. A woman had absconded with a vital organ and the gnawing emptiness he felt was a direct reflection of that vacancy. Well, that’s not entirely true either. The gnawing thing had actually been with him since he was a child. He just liked to assign blame for the condition.”

This child wins life. I have found my fashion icon.
I got her back from the exhibit. It’s so nice to be reunited with her. Charotera lang ang peg:)
Should the Idaho Stop Law Be Adopted in CA…California Roll sounds much better anyway!
As many of us bikers know, making a complete stop at every single STOP sign is nearly impossible. In 1982, the Idaho legislature passed a law that allowed bicyclists to treat stop signs as yield and not always come to a complete stop.
In Oregon, The Bicycle Transportation Alliance (BTA) tried to pass a similar bill in 2009, but the effort was marked by several fumbles (including initial opposition from Eugene and the firing of the bill’s chief architect, BTA lobbyist Karl Rohde) and some harsh treatment in the media that ultimately led to its demise. So in 2011 they tried it again with a few revisions and introduced it as SB 604. If a large metropolitan city like Portland could get a law like this passed, is this something that we should propose to our local and state representatives? Im all for it!!
Check out this great video that describes in detail what an “Idaho Stop” and maybe if adopted here in San Francisco we could change the name to a “California Roll”!
Give us your thoughts on this bike safety idea. We would love to hear what you think!

Better photo of it…
My hand is starting to hurt like a bitch so…a break it is. :/
I think I will need a week to finish this one. XD
Reporter: I have a question to Robert and to Scarlett. Firstly to Robert, throughout Iron Man 1 and 2, Tony Stark started off as a very egotistical character but learns how to fight as a team. And so how did you approach this role, bearing in mind that kind of maturity as a human being when it comes to the Tony Stark character, and did you learn anything throughout the three movies that you made?
And to Scarlett, to get into shape for Black Widow did you have anything special to do in terms of the diet, like did you have to eat any specific food, or that sort of thing?
Scarlett: How come you get the really interesting existential question, and I get the like, “rabbit food” question?
The respect given to you if you’re a man in the entertainment business, and the respect given to you if you’re a woman in the entertainment business: all perfectly summed up in one idiotically thought out line of questioning.

Anthropologist: When Same-Sex Marriage was a Christian Rite→
Contrary to myth, Christianity’s concept of marriage has not been set in stone since the days of Christ, but has constantly evolved as a concept and ritual. Prof. John Boswell, the late Chairman of Yale University’s history department, discovered that in addition to heterosexual marriage ceremonies in ancient Christian church liturgical documents, there were also ceremonies called the “Office of Same-Sex Union” (10th and 11th century), and the “Order for Uniting Two Men” (11th and 12th century).
Records of Christian same sex unions have been discovered in such diverse archives as those in the Vatican, in St. Petersburg, in Paris, in Istanbul and in the Sinai, covering a thousand-years from the 8th to the 18th century.
Prof. Boswell’s academic study is so well researched and documented that it poses fundamental questions for both modern church leaders and heterosexual Christians about their own modern attitudes towards homosexuality.

“Designing the bicycle cars was a challenge. For the first few years cyclists and passengers had to struggle for the same tight space in front of the doors. Now there are dedicated cycle cars with flexible parking areas.”
I have been looking over the different categories in the beta version of Bike Score and I think their program has the potential to be a great policy tool.
For example:
Bike lanes & commuters
Destinations & bike lanes
These geographic distinctions can be used to make decisions on areas for public outreach and constructing infrastructure where it would be the most effective and used.
If I was still in school I would so incorporate this into a policy research/recommendation paper.
I think I’ve found my honours research essay topic! Thanks, bro!
Sadly, it doesn’t seem to have it for my city. Do you know of any other cycling-related tools like this? I’d love to read up on their methodology…

Watching Supernatural episode 7x12 “Time after Time after Time”. Seriously, they’ve hopped back in time… how many times? (Oh punny)
I Wish This Was
Many cities are full of vacant storefronts and people who need things. Made byCandy Chang, these stickers are an easy tool to voice what you want, where you want it. Just fill them out and put them on abandoned buildings and beyond. The stickers are custom vinyl and they can be easily removed without damaging property. It’s a fun, low-barrier tool to provide civic input on-site, and the responses reflect the hopes, dreams, and colorful imaginations of different neighborhoods.

Love the caption. I didn’t even know that was a style.
