Learning is active - right?....that would translate into I'm going to have to want/do/know "something" in order for my "education" to occur.For example, how did I learn about the raging new social network games: Pet Society and Kidnap!?I logged in and accepted the invite from a friend and began playing them, one game at a time. Sure, I'm pretty slow at picking them up but I'm making progress day b
Wow, let's face it. We live in a very messed up world.
Back in the day, when I was going to school, teachers nurtured students, encouraged curiosity and learning. They were the trusted authorities in the schools, not because they knew more(they did), but because they honestly cared about the children. I'm thankful to the long line of teachers, upon whos encouragement and caring, I got to where I a
This missus just had a gun instruction lesson but still remains quite curious about the weapon. Her husband decides to teach her a lesson about gun safety at her expense. Although this video has been around for awhile, it is a very funny one and is definitely one I would not miss._______________________________Curiosity Didn't Kill This Cat_______________________________Funny Podcast - Breaking Ne

Author, radio host, actor, activist and labor organizer, Studs Terkel died last week aged 96. Best known as the ground-breaking oral historian who, for decades, recorded the lives of ordinary working-class Americans, Studs Terkel was foremost in establishing oral history as both a popular and serious literary genre.
Sent in by EddieI really don't know where to begin telling my story of de-conversion because it involves too many events over a long period of years. I will try to give the basic highlights and avoid a drawn out boring tale.I was raised in a Church of Christ home attending services of the church three times a week up until I was 16. My dad had been an elder in the congregation and was basically th
Just this morning while I was at school, my classmates (guys) were talking about the size of their genitals and about male enhancement. Out of curiosity, I asked them “why most of you guys always talk about male enhancement? Is it really important? My classmates replied “Yes, because girls love it!” Well, I guess they [...]
Game Seven of the Anand-Kramnik match - Vlad's second Black in a row the poor bugger - saw the Russian ditching the Nimzo-Indian and turning instead to the Slav.The game opened 1. d4 d5, 2. c4 c6, 3. Nf3 Nf6, 4. Nc3 dxc4, 5. a4 Bf5, 6. e3 e6, 7. Bxc4 Bb4, 8. 0-0 Nbd7at which point Anand played 9. Qe2.As far as I know this is the mainline but there are other choices here. He could, for example, hav
I was busy preparing some dishes when I heard silence. Normally, the tv would be on and my little angels would be playing and strutting their voices up, wrestling their way to get the best seat in front of the screen while sometimes arguing over patty things.Sometimes, they would test my patience by coming to me while I was handling the hot pan with a sweaty forehead, just simply to show me how m
As I probably have mentioned on one occasion or the other I was born and raised in Jonkoping. Part of the heritage that I bring with me from childhood is the things that awoken my interest in past times; this includes periodicals, year books etc concerning Jonkoping and it’s history. This weekend was spent in [...]
If curiosity actually killed the cat, then this tabby should be dead. Actually, this has to be the funniest cat on the Internet, and I don't mean cat as in cool cat. I mean kitty cat.The author of this video very cleverly employed sound effects to mystify the cat with absolutely hilarious consequences.For awhile there I thought that the cat might begin to tap out a rhythm like a drummer would.

I got this beautiful prose in my inbox. The prose is entitled “The Husband Store”, at the end of the litany it pick on woman’s impossibility to please.

You might already read all the information that existed about Nouveau Riche University that tells you about the greatest education and graduation that they have. The way of giving the information seems like too much in celebrating the graduation that always become the great entrepreneur and businessman after graduate from Nouveau Riche University. Many people think that it is just the Nouveau Rich
Most of our toys are kept high out of reach. So high that I have to stand on the bed to retrieve them. But the spreader bar is in the bottom of my pajama drawer. We have nipple clamps, a toothbrush and a Wartenburg wheel in bra drawer, a corset in the jewelry armoire and a vibrator and a hairbrush are in a little bag near the bed.
Oh, and there's a long, lovely leather flogger hanging in my
The kids got a little freedom, and were allowed to roam the house last week. They met Mai Tai our Snow Leopard, who was not really impressed. If that face is not saying "Do I have to play with the puppies" I don't know what he's thinking. Mai Tai was tolerant of some, and loving of others. He played nice, and did not take any swipes at the puppies. This is something we do have to watc
Though generally serving as a waste of time and not-so-clever procrastination device, there are a few occasions when lists step in to keep me sane. I’ve recently begun a list of things - random things - I’d like to know more about.
For example:
how to make pad thai
weather prediction

the workings of nuclear power
how plumbing works

I set about making a few vats of carrot juice, glug a gallon or two with a Centrum chaser. I shall remain healthy if it kills me. This provides enough energy to bake a dozen muffins with the left over pulp. Small people perseverate on the usual matters with one new addition, “not a stork, it’s an egg head!” Ordinarily I would enquire into the source but I am far too grumpy. It’s probably something to do with storks and babies, and I am in no mood to commence a sex education lecture to a seven year old. I swallow another couple of Advil as I can't afford to be wiped out by Vicodin. In an ideal world I would opt for a pout but I can only just manage a glower, which I hope is enigmatic. Spouse has abandoned us once again, back to England. I had anticipated a ‘love, honour and ob
Curiosity, as I type that it is one of those words that you stare at and say - is that REALLY how you spell it? I guess so. Anyways…

is apparently the official excuse from the State Department for why two of their contract worker went nosing around in Barack Obama's passport application.
The Obama campaign declared it "an outrageous breach of security".
I think I might describe it as somewhere in the middle of these two descriptions.
Look folks, these employees were reported, fired, and appear to have no connection to any political candidate or any political party officials. It's not as if the President, Hillary, or John McCain told these people to snoop around in Obama's personal information. If I was a betting man, I would bet that they did what they did possibly out of some malicious intent to uncover something that they might use for personal gain. Maybe some secret information that they could sell to the Drudge

She has become a rage these days.

W always amazes us. This time, I found him with a speck of chilli red blood above his upper lips. It was last Saturday when I was at the computer when he came to me. He was supposed to be playing his plasticine at the living room.I was shocked and asked him what did he do. Immediately I went searching for his 'toys' that cut his face. I found a disposable shaver and an empty plastic bag. He took the new disposable shaver from the drawer and went experimenting on his face. Wiping the blood from his face, I kept asking if he felt any pain. Trying to show that he is brave, he repeatedly told me it's not painful.After a few minutes, I questioned him why did he shave. 'I want to be a man!' he said firmly and not long later he was complaining of pain above his lips. I guess it took a while for h
In my post „Make business on the vilest of human traits” I’ve already mentioned that biggest part of the most profitable business ideas are based on human vial traits, sins and weaknesses. Now, when I found out about this bizarre and yet successful business idea, I got even more convinced.
"Hey, an insect, mummy......an insect!", the twins shouted. They had just spotted a bee which somehow flew and "stuck" outside a window panel. They are often very amazed and curious about this group of animal kingdom. Perhaps they had seen the daddy catching flies, bees, lizards etc. Then "shaking and dancing" the "cong cong" (insects) before he lets them had a free fall from the window.Anyway, this silly bee had really been "helpful". At least the twins got a chance to see a close up view of the eyes, body, wings and other parts of the bee, which they would otherwise not get to see at all.
Recently, my neighbour bought a hamster, probably for their two schooling kids as a pet or maybe for some auspicious reason in the year of the rat (Chinese calendar year).They happened to put the hamster outside their house and next to the shoe rack. So my twins, Asher and Gwyneth, discovered this little cutie thing inside a big "cage" and ignited their curiosity. Actually, even the mommy finds it too "irresistable" not to look at what the hamster was doing.The little hamster is so smart and cute - it saw my twins and kept staring back at them. Then it struggled to stand up for while before crawling up the "stairs" of the cage and sniffed for attention. (As in the picture) My twins "squealed" for delight and were obviously thrilled by this action of the hamster.As we couldn't bring the li
The video is about "Curiosity". Now that's a very cool word, not only because it gives you a shot at new stuff around but modern day marketers have realized the fact that whom they want to target i.e. early adopters & innovators who are in the fringes and they do the idea-spreading thing. It's curiosity which attracts them to try out new things and if they like it, they tell their friends. And then the word-of-mouth cycle starts.The short video was shot by Nic Askew.By the way, if you are in good mood, then you should read some of the comments in Seth's post. My fav one is this one called "Insatiable Curiosity" by Hjörtur Smárason (Thank god he won't ask me to pronounce it).Now you know why I posted this video. Yes, I fall into that curious category :) and that's why I like Marketi

Color derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light energy versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of color are also associated with objects, materials, light sources, etc., based on their physical properties such as light absorption, reflection, or emission spectra.

Color stimulates the brain. Color creates moods. Color evokes emotions.
Color is one of the most powerful tools in the daily work of an art director. We love colors!

BBC News is running an overview of Brown's first six weeks in Number 10. It makes for interesting reading to review what Brown has done and said as he settles into the role of Prime Minister.The most striking feature of the past six weeks has been how crisis-stricken they have been. Brown enters 10 Downing Street, and just days later has to deal with attempted terror attacks in London and Glasgow. When the threat level is reduced to 'severe' a week later, England goes underwater. After a month of flooding, foot-and-mouth reappears just as the waters subside and brings Brown home from his four hour holiday. It has been a hectic six weeks, and we have seen Gordon Brown in terrorist/natural disaster/medical emergency crisis mode. How kind of fate.The conclusions that can be drawn from Gordon Brown, crisis man, are varied. He can be seen as calm and measured, reluctant to engage in knee-jerk reactions and instead waiting to decide the best course of action. Alternatively, he can be seen
Thanks, Nienke, for your thoughtful announcement of my visit. You made me feel welcome at your remarkable website. I’m the kind of writer who likes a distraction. Could be the smell of coffee in the other room, or a “dump your microwave oven” urban myth that plops onto my desktop. No surprise, therefore, that as I began typing this piece about words origins, I allowed my attention to be drawn to your Tip of the Day: “Always take the attitude of a learner in your writing and be open to new insights from any source.” I hope it won’t seem that I’m malingering if I comment on this sage advice before I get down to business. In the 1990s, I enrolled in UCLA’s screenwriting program. At age 51 I thought I knew everything about cranking out scripts. I just wanted to meet producers so I could sell my work. But in my first class I discovered how much I had to learn about story structure. That humbling experience confirms the wisdom of your tip about being curious. Now about w
Nonna is visiting for the summer. She is a little hard of hearing but has the debatable benefit of hearing aides. [translation = where are they?] She attempts washing up amid many gallons of water and a non functioning tap, [translation = faucet] whilst I make lunch for the masses.“When will it be fixed?” she asks at the fountain streams and floods the kitchen counters and floor.“Two weeks for the parts to come and heaven knows when we can ever find a plumber,” I bellow. [translation = or afford one]“Is it original?”“Original?”“Did it come with the house or is it new?”“I have no idea.” I mop the floor with old towels as the boys attempt to skate. [translation = fall over, bump themselves, get very wet and have meltdowns for all three reasons]“Why it is?”“Why is what dear?”“Why it is wet?” I point to the broken tap.“No!” he screeches with annoyance, “no, why is dah water wet?”“Water is always wet, that’s what water is, wet!”

I am the first to admit I am quirky and just so you know, there is nothing wrong with being quirky. Along with my quirky territory comes this desire to understand trends and why things and people are the way they are. I suppose that is partly why I became a Biology Teacher, so I could have a reason to justify my constant employing of the steps of the Scientific Method.
**And for a fun side note, can anyone tell me the basic steps of the Scientific Method?**
Back to my quirkiness. My quest for today is to better understand the various names people have for fizzy “sweet drinks that contain carbonated water and flavoring.”
Being born and raised in Los Angeles, I call it (more…)
Okay, so this shop is for the Creatively Inclined. Which does not include me. But sometimes I like to fake it.

This is an old ad but an interesting one. With barely legal curiosity and longing, the young girl in this ad dreams of the day when a very large Durex condom will come between her and the ripped prince's burgeoning bulge her eyes wistfully yearn. With the headline, "One day you'll wish you had a Durex condom," the ad hearkens early innocence and an "I wonder what that would feel like" eagerness only experienced early in life.
Some might label the ad overly racy or a poor attempt at humor but they would be wrong. The ad is extremely honest conveying natural human desire and sexuality which, all too often, are portrayed with snickers, avoidance and censorship.
Dear Useless Men,How many questions do I need to ask to win the mystery tin box? The curiosity is making me do it. I'm kind of afraid to actually find out what you've poured, chucked, scraped, or pounded in here. Shy but CuriousDear Shy, You certainly ARE shy. In fact, we already answered this question. Next time, step up and ASK! While this is the first time we have had two questions asking effectively the exact same thing, we are still prepared to uselessly answer this question in a very useful way. The answer was 15. IF you asked 15 questions, you would have won the tin. In fact, I think you did ask 15 questions, and you are the tin winner. You said IN HERE! Not in THERE! And I saw a picture of it on your blog. So don't be shy… just admit it! You sent this question in to be entered in the draw again. You greedy, greedy girl. As if dog food and pens weren't enough… This does give me an opportunity to discuss the winner of the last useless prize package from 2006
