i haven't been able to post photographs on here lately because apparently my version of safari doesn't get along with tumblr anymore. i recently discovered that tumblr is much better friends with chrome but since that realization i went to update chrome and when it asked me if i wanted to delete the current version, because it was going to replace it i said yes, not knowing that the version i was downloading wasn't going to be compatible with my osx, which is quite outdated, as in I've never updated it. I need to do that but it's not really a priority when I can barely find the time to pee or do the dishes or change out of the clothes I've been wearing for afew days into the other ones i was wearing afew days before that (and might have managed to wash) or list on etsy or clip my toenails or eat meals or make a phone call or brush my teeth because I have a son. he's 5 weeks old and he's figuring out life. on a very tiny level as he always will be. it's fun to watch him, figuring out life at that stage of innocence and ignorance is quite different than the rest of us. and watching those little big eyes wonder around the room grunting, squeaking and cooing with his arms flailing as I'm trying to figure out life myself, life with him, learning life as a family of 3. learning how to not have expectations for my days. learning to be content with anything I get to accomplish off that long list in my head, if its any, beyond eating, feeding my son, sleeping and loving my husband the best I can. learning to ignore that list. learning to prioritize. learning how much a newborn poops. and how that poop often sounds like a muffled bottle of ketchup when squirted. learning to wash my hands one hand at a time. learning to be okay with smelling like breastmilk and bo. learning to deal with being tired better than I have had to since my mono days. learning to be needed in a whole new way. learning about how many different kinds of love exist.

the perfect romance of self reliance.
when benjamin and i were doing the long distance thing, he mentioned that he wanted to collaborate. he had some ideas that we discussed, but when he pointed out that my living space reminded him of his paintings, i realized that the best collaboration might be more simple and natural than we'd thought. though self portraits have rarely been part of my work, i decided to make one that was a representation of my life at that time. one that held up to my "reputation" as a strong person. i moved to minneapolis for a new adventure, i expected it would be a pretty lonely, simple and quiet one. but i ended up falling in love with this strange man right after i moved 700 miles away, and ended up with an adventure in learning about how to let go of certain aspects of my independence in order to have a healthy relationship.
i took some photographs of me in my studio apartment for him to paint. i played around some, but i thought this one was the most appropriate. i liked how slightly humorous it is was, to me anyways, i guess i feel like i was poking fun at my need for self-reliance. before i moved to minneapolis, people; friends and strangers alike would always, annoyingly, question it and comment about how cold it was, as if i didn't know. i suppose the move to me became about this adventure into this place that is full of winter perils that i was going to conquer on my own. hence the shovel, boots, coat and facial expression.
its been fun to realize the similarities and differences in our creative process. i'm obsessed with found objects because they have history, tell of another time. he references familiar art from history. he has an idea, image or title in mind, takes the reference photo and leaves the rest to the process. its not unusual for a figures' shirt to change color multiple times in the process before the painting comes to a close (this painting actually isn't done. the wall colors are going to changed). i work in a very similar way, i generally give myself something to start with, i have a semi-plan. i plan to include a couple key factors and leave the rest for my eye and brain in the moment. you can see here the difference between the photo and the painting, what he added as he went along to build the concept and way your eye moves through the painting.
benjamin's paintings generally have a lot going on, not in the chaotic this-is-an-epic-battle-scene sense, but in more subtle ways, you might even think of his paintings as simple at first glance, but there is a lot of amazing details that make them very engaging. his paintings reference everyday life and art history, often in ways that are refreshing and ironic, some satirical. the environments he sets up or chooses to paint are intentional. similar to the way i make my home, i always surround myself with things that inspire me; color, character and story drive me. yes i realize the word "things" isn't very specific, but things is actually the best explanation, in general speak, i am a collector. (it may not even be a good thing.)
he works from photographs that he stages, plans and composes. this was an exception, and where the collaboration comes in, i did send him several options to choose from, but he had very little control in the set up (he was in kentucky.) his photos often piece several bits of information together because he is only looking for a source image to help guide the beginning of the painting, it doesn't matter to him if it's a beautiful photograph. if the purpose of this photo were to simply be a "fine art" photograph (not a painting reference) i would have done the light (among other things) differently. i actually made other images that afternoon that are much stronger as photographs, and they were important for me as an artist to see what i was able to communicate emotionally. it was helpful to me since i don't work with myself as a subject, while he is often the subject of his paintings, to see that i could articulate my emotional state. the play between me as an educated fine art photographer and him as an educated (way more than me) painter that uses photographs to get his result has been interesting. you could call me something close to a purist, i do use some, minimal computer software, but i fell in love with photography the hardest while using film. i'm very much in the mindset of what i create in the camera is what i get, so the world of photographing for a painting has been a new one for me, and i like new.
while i knew it would be fun, in those first days of talking i didn't imagine that our working together would become so natural as it has. his paintings are still his paintings, i don't paint, but i do help in other ways. we bounce ideas off each other a lot, talk about formal stuff and i tell him when i don't think something's finished. its been eye opening for both of us i think to realize what we now have at our finger tips.
when i was first introduced to my husband's paintings, i remember being most impressed with his titles. titling work is hard, at least for me, (and i think a majority of artists as i look at work in museums, and judge them) so when someone titles their work in a way that informs it to the perfect extent, and that is paired with good art work, of course, i am there. his intelligence and humor shines through. of course with this one he did not fall short with: "the perfect romance of self reliance."

its probably more than you think
warning: i am, in fact, about to get alittle festive. (i know, who am i, right? i'm asking the same question.)
last year about this time i was tweeting things like "if you get to be with your family this week be thankful! unless you don't like them… but you should probably still be thankful."
last year was my first thanksgiving without my family. this was a big deal, you could say our family is pretty close. the holiday became a new love for me when my older brother went away to college the first year way back when. we were used to be together most of the time, so i always anticipated this time of year.
i couldn't afford to leave minneapolis last year, where i was by myself (totally brought on happily by my self, but i didn't except to not be able to be home for thanksgiving.) to make it better, the man i wanted to marry that i had known for less than two months and only hung out with twice myself, was gonna be spending part of the day with my family as well… without me. i wasn't having a great day. they facetime'd me, but really, when your 3 brothers, 3 sisters, your man, nephews and parents are all in one house having thanksgiving and they video chat you, does it really make you feel better or does all the fun and conversations just sound like noise through a little iphone (that you know in real life is beautiful chaos that you are missing out on.) i got a text that morning from a sweet friend, who i barley knew, (we had been connected because we're both from ohio) "what are you doing today?" i probably replied "nothing" or something pathetic, and she said something like "please come to our friends house, there's gonna be alot of people there." although i was not in the most friendliest of moods, i eventually mustered up the courage to leave the house. i'm all about adventure, right?
when i arrived at the address, there were kids. everywhere. the closest children-friends of mine lived 1.5 hours away. i had been cut off from one of my greatest sources of inspiration and love since i had moved. i missed being around tiny humans and no matter how much you smile at each other at the grocery store, it doesn't make it appropriate to go befriending strangers' children at the grocery store… so i was happy.
there i was with several beautiful families that were having thanksgiving together because they were to far away from their families too. i enjoyed conversations with the grown-ups, and the children and i smiled at each other of course. i got to hold and snuggle one of the little ones as well. the family who was hosting this thanksgiving day are some of our favorite people now, so much so that we moved 2 blocks away from them, on purpose, when we moved back to minneapolis. benjamin stayed with them when he came to visit me, i stayed with them when i got evicted before i moved back to kentucky and we stayed with them when we came back to look at houses. i'm not just thankful for them because they have given me a place to sleep on multiple occasions, we are truly blessed to have them as our minneapolis family, neighbors and friends. if i was with my family last thanksgiving we may not have the joy of having them in our life now.
it was good for the part of my family who didn't know benjamin to get to know him, without me. it was nice for me to hear their high praises of him from afar (when you decide you want to marry someone you've known for less than two months it is a good sanity check to have your family more than approve.)
so again i say, if you're with your family this week, be thankful. and if you're not, be thankful for what you do have. its probably more than you think. make the best of it. (and if you are in a place where you can invite someone lonely over, do it, it might totally change their day, year or life.)
when benjamin promised "next year we'll be together for thanksgiving" i believed him, but i surely didn't know that i would have gained a husband, two parents, 3 nephews, a niece and would have a little rogers kid cooking in my oven… my ever growing family. now that i'm here, i really wouldn't have any other way.
to leave you with, going back and reading more of my this-week-last-years'-tweets, i also found this one from after thanksgiving:
"Leave to your God to order and provide; In every change, He will remain."

It's been no secret that the Ohio State Buckeyes have been hot on the trail of five-star quarterback prospect Torrance Gibson throughout the 2015 recruiting process. They were once considered one of the front runners in the race, however the program was stung hard recently when he dropped them to the bottom of his list.
When the news of the drop came out, there were a lot of fans associated with Ohio State football that just wanted to throw in the towel and move on.
Well, hold your horses.
In the blog post that he has on USA TODAY, Gibson specifically mentioned that he will be taking a trip to Columbus to visit with the Buckeyes and the coaching staff, which is generally something a recruit doesn't do if they're not considering a school any longer.
"After the (recent) visit, I would still have to say that Tennessee is the leader for me right now," Gibson wrote. "I want to try and visit Ohio State this summer before my season kicks off. I want to visit UCF, too."
Now that's not a guarantee that he'll be coming to Columbus to play his college football, but it's definitely a good sign for their prospects of landing him, giving Ohio State their second quarterback commit of the class.

Former IRS IT Contractor "Scoffs" at B.S. Story Behind Lost Lerner Emails
By marfdrat on June 17, 2014
The IRS recently -conveniently- claimed that two years worth of Lois Lerner's emails were "lost in a computer crash." This is an awfully convenient dodge, given that evidence that could implicate the President and others in the illegal targeting of conservative groups was probably in those emails. A former IRS IT contractor says it's highly unlikely, given the agency's backup protocols, that emails were anything but deliberately deleted.

Harry Reid: Millions Who've Been Negatively Affected by Obamacare are All Liars

Earlier this week, Harry Reid basically said stories about the millions of people being negatively impacted by Obamacare were lies made up by the Koch brothers, or something. The National Republican Senatorial Committee came up with a reply.

Obama 2009: Stimulus Will Lift 2 Million Out of Poverty. 2013: 2.6 Million MORE in Poverty
By marfdrat on February 12, 2013
All of Obama's promises have an expiration date. Usually it's almost immediately after they leave his lips. I'm sure, though, that it's most certainly someone else's fault. I'm sure tonight's SOTU will contain more "promises," along with the news that he's achieved almost all of his deficit reduction goals. $16.5 trillion: No big deal. (from CNS News)

Busting Philly Unions with the Pestronk Brothers
By marfdrat on January 8, 2013
Very good article on two developer brothers challenging the union-dominated status quo in Philadelphia.
Brutish threats, expletive-heavy protests, oil poured at construction-site entrances–for years, Philly unions have used intimidation and bully tactics to protect their power. Then two young developers set up cameras and a website, and set in motion the most dramatic power shift the city has seen in generations.

The White House Disinformation Campaign on the Benghazi Terrorist Attack
By marfdrat on October 10, 2012
The Heritage Foundation released a new ad (admittedly, a long one) that details the crumbling of the White House narrative on the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi that resulted in the deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, and 3 other Americans. Though the intelligence community knew within 24 hours that it was a coordinated terrorist attack, the White House through its spokesminions, up to and including Secretary of State Clinton, lied about it for days, and said it was a "spontaneous" reaction to some obscure movie that nobody over there had even seen.

Our Prevaricator in Chief: All Statements Come with Expiration Dates

This is a couple of weeks old, but still worth my posting and your reading. Everything Barack Obama says has an expiration date – if he hasn't flip-flopped on an issue yet, just give him time. Jim Geraghty at NRO has a list of "expired" Obama (*DfOaLG) statements made from the time he was candidate Obama to now, when he's Prevaricator in Chief. A couple of samples:

NONE KNOWS SHE PROBLY ACTED A FOOL. we dont know. Ladies u guys know we can be scandoulous and devious and yea we can act a fool. yea she was battered badly. i think chris was wrong for that. but we also dont know what triggered him.. he didnt just get in the car and start beating her she had to provoke him somehow,since she wants to protray an innocent immage of course shes the victim.. like i said noone deserves to be hurt like she did. but dont treat him like an outkast. he deserves a chance. by the way his career has been going it looks like most have forgave him. if not some may even find him more appealing. sad to say but women are attracted to bad boy images. i thought they made an adorable couple but some are not fit for eachother. good thing they found out while they were young. now if he goes around beating on all his women. like some celebrities!!! then he needs his a** kicked. but dont treat him bad over a bad choice of actions. keep yur head up chris.
chris brown obviously made a mistake but should he be made to pay for it for the rest of his life? absolutely not.i think he deserves a second chance because no one's perfect and we all make mistakes. he's apologised and should be forgiven.rihanna's moved on with her life cos as we all know she keeps jumping from one guy to another. chris is naturally talented and most importantly, remorseful for his mistake. so ppl,let it go and move on.
Yea, give the kid a chance you haters. Haters leave him alone he deserves a second chance.Rihanna is annouying and Chris Brown was provoked by her.Haters hate him because he's very tallented. GET OVER IT including JJJJJJJJJZZZZZZZZZZ
By now, 74% of the people who voted in the poll said Chris in undateable!!!!!!!! Hahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahhahaa.
In despite of everything he did with Rihanna, he is cute and has a nice voice. Maybe, he deserves a second chance. But, I don't know if I would be brave enough to give him a shot. Hehehehhehehehehhee.
He is dripping in money! Money in his hand and money sticking out of his pocket!
Everybody deserves a second chance, so sure...he's dateable. However, I would never date him.
Yeah, he's dateable if you like to get your fingers and ears bit. And punched in the head and face. Oh yeah, and if you have a fetish for death threats.
Some people need to learn from their own mistakes, rather then learning from someone else's mistake.
People with abuse problems don't change.
not 'datable' if that means dinner and a drive around town. but 100% of these ladies love a bad boy like this - especially a rich one. that's 100% of the ladies.
no dates - but spreading your legs in the airport bathroom? they'd do it in one half of fraction of a new york second. you go lades - way to stay classy, san diego!
Hell yes he is dateable, and I'm tired of TMZ and others bleeding an old story dry. Just because he and Rhianna didn't get along doesn't mean there isn't anyone out there for him; if that were the case 80% of the population wouldn't have mates. A lot of people love (or whatever) each other, but aren't good for each other. Let the boy get on with his life.
She looks scared... Someone call the cops!
TMZ...you need to get a life and get over this whole "BAN CHRIS BROWN" Campaign. The boy isn't even 21 years-old but you want to make him pay for what he did for the rest of his life. I wonder what you'll be saying about Charlie Sheen for the next couple of months. Dude threatened AND tried to kill his WIFE/mother of his twin children!! And they both want to reconcile!! Is Charlie Sheen a monster now??!! Doubtful...I don't see NEARLY as many negative comments coming from this site about that. Hmmmm...wonder why??
Do you really expect Chris to not date anymore. Rihanna goes out and dates and its ok, but whenever you freaks see Chris with a woman or doing things that NORMAL 20 year-olds do, its all of a sudden a sin!! It's been damn near a year since he beat Rihanna, get over it!!! and stop getting a hard-on, thinking you HAVE to take pictures of him everywhere he goes...thats SO 2009!!
Is there ever ANY reason to walk around with a bundle of money in your hand and sticking out of your pocket? If there is PLEASE let me know, i wanna be there in my ninja outfit so I snatch it.

China Reinstates Wikipedia Ban
Zonk posted more than 7 years ago | from the that-was-depressingly-quick dept.172
Rob T Firefly writes "The International Herald Tribute reports that the lifting of China's Wikipedia ban earlier this week was short-lived. Wikipedia is once again inaccessible from behind the Great Firewall, along with all other Wikimedia projects. Additionally, the URL of Chinese Wikipedia is once again a banned search term. No reason has yet been given for any of it." From the article: "It wasn't immediately clear if Wikipedia was inaccessible due to technical glitches or because government censors had blocked the site again. The Foreign Ministry and Ministry of Information Industry did not immediately respond when contacted for comment Friday. Beijing blocked access to the English and Chinese versions of Wikipedia in October last year, apparently out of concern about entries touching on the country's sensitive spots -- Tibet, Taiwan and other topics."

'If This Be Sin' by Hazel Newlevant
Posted on August 17, 2014 by Cathy Camper in Comics, Illustrated
I love comics about musicians, especially behind-the-scenes bios about their life and creative processes. So for me, Hazel Newlevant's comic If This Be Sin, which features three music related stories, was like getting triple scoops of my favorite flavor. Plus, one of the stories is about the falling out of rock star musicians Wendy and Lisa with Prince, which this former Minnesotan couldn't wait to read. What better way to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of Purple Rain than with a little reality check on what Prince is really like? (more…)
'Everyone is Someone's Fetish' by Tony Breed
Posted on July 15, 2014 by Cathy Camper in Comics, Illustrated
This selection of comics is taken from Tony Breed's web comic Finn and Charlie are Hitched. Breed started his online comic in 2006, chronicling the lives of two married gay men, before gay marriage was legally sanctioned in large parts of the U.S. The web comic was nominated for an Ignatz award, and the book was published with support from a Kickstarter campaign.

'The Fifth Beatle: The Brian Epstein Story' by Vivek J. Tiwary with Illustrations by Andrew C. Robinson and Kyle Baker
Posted on May 29, 2014 by Cathy Camper in Comics, Illustrated
If there were a fifth Beatle, most fans would assume it was Pete Best, the drummer Ringo Starr replaced. But Vivek J. Tiwary's graphic novel (a finalist for a 26th Annual Lambda Literary Award in the graphic novel category) recognizes Brian Epstein as the fifth band member–a silent partner, the brains behind the Beatles' concept. Tiwary admits telling Epstein's story has been his life work, adding, "Why shouldn't he have a life in comics?" (more…)
'100 Crushes' by Elisha Lim
Posted on May 12, 2014 by Cathy Camper in Comics, Illustrated
100 Crushes, a compilation of five years worth of comics by Elisha Lim, is one of those books like Joe Brainard's I Remember; it's a deceptively simple, universally appealing idea that makes a reader think, I could do that. Or more accurately, why didn't I do that? You can't read Elisha Lim's thoughtful portraits of people Lim's had crushes on without wishing you too had kept some kind of record of those who slipped away, who yanked your heartstrings, grabbed your attention or focus or crotch. All those brief, unattainable or inappropriate infatuations that you none-the-less obsessed over–why didn't you keep track of them? Can you even remember them now? (more…)

'Qu33r' edited by Robert Kirby

Since 2010, Kirby has been editing Three, a high quality, LGBT comics anthology of three cartoonist's works, with the expressed purpose of giving the creators space for their work to shine.

'Anything That Loves' Edited by Charles "Zan" Christensen
Posted on January 5, 2014 by Cathy Camper in Comics, Illustrated
Humans can be so dense sometimes. This is especially frustrating in a field like science, where experimentation, exploration and innovative thinking really pay off. For example, look at how long it's taken scientists to admit that animals have feelings and emotions. For years, we were taught that animals were like robots, acting only out of instinct, despite all kinds of evidence from pet owners and animal lovers to the contrary. Now that some of that evidence is actually being examined, it turns out science has been stymied because it refused to look at proof that was right in front of its face. (more…)
'The Lengths' by Howard Hardiman
Posted on November 17, 2013 by Cathy Camper in Comics, Illustrated
Eddie, a former art student, has one cell phone for calls from his family, friends and lover. His other phone, and his other name, Ford, is private and strictly business. Eddie works as a male escort–a job he tries, but fails, to restrict to odd hours outside his mainstream life. Sucked into the world of rent boys by his admiration for Nelson, a handsome male sex worker, Eddie soon finds his new occupation, and the duplicity it requires, affects both how he treats others and how he feels about himself.

'Blue is the Warmest Color' by Julie Maroh
Posted on October 24, 2013 by Paige Cohen in Comics, Illustrated
The long-awaited English translation of Blue is the Warmest (Arsenal Pulp Press), originally published in French as Le bleu est une couleur chaude, is a deeply compelling story, in large part due to its thorough exploration and attention to character. The graphic novel is told almost entirely in retrospect, as the formerly blue-haired Emma reads through the diaries of her deceased lover, Clementine. The diaries begin in 1994 France when Clementine is a fifteen-year-old sophomore in high school and continue over a decade into the future, though they focus largely on the rocky development of her and Emma's relationship when Clementine first begins to discover her attraction towards women and struggles to accept her sexuality. With close-minded conservative parents and only one gay friend to confide in, the teenage Clementine internalizes her desire for Emma, caught in a wonderful and terrifying limbo that many queer youth are likely to relate to, one between discovering lust and feeling ashamed by who you lust after, between falling in love and self-hate.

'Not Your Mother's Meatloaf: A Sex Education Comic Book' by Saiya Miller and Liza Bley
Posted on September 12, 2013 by Cathy Camper in Comics, Illustrated
Not Your Mother's Meatloaf  (Soft Skull Press) started in 2008 when authors Saiya Miller and Liza Bley put out an open call for young people to contribute comics that addressed subjects often ignored by traditional sex ed programs. They wanted to include topics like body image, safe sex, consent, and relationships, and include comics that challenged hetero and gender normative practices in sex education. (more…)

Can Jim Starlin and Ron Lim Recapture Infinity Gauntlet Magic on New Thanos Annual?
- Written by Jude Terror on Wednesday, February 19 2014 and posted in News with Benefits
As revealed in today's Marvel May solicits, Infinity Gauntlet and Silver Surfer creative team Jim Starlin and Ron Lim will reunite in an attempt to capture the magic of their original cosmic tales in Thanos Annual #1, a one-shot story that will lead into Starlin's upcoming Thanos OGN. From the solicits:
Cover by DALE KEOWN
Variant cover by Ron Lim
Variant cover by Jim Starlin
• Jim Starlin returns to Thanos, and he's brought INFINITY GAUNTLET artist Ron Lim with him!
• Thanos must face Mephisto, his future self, the Avengers and more!
• Learn how a devastating defeat in Thanos' past set events into motion that will redefine the Marvel Universe in the near future!
• A prequel to the upcoming THANOS: THE INFINITY REVELATION original graphic novel!
40 PGS./Rated T+ …$4.99
For fans of the team's work back in the eighties and nineties, the reunion is a dream come true. After all, who doesn't love it when creators return to a property they made famous back in the day?
"I can't think of a single instance where artists reunited three decades after their heydey and the product wasn't just as good as it was in it's original incarnation," explained Professor of Ludicrously Incorrect Statements at the prestigious University of Phoenix, Thaddeus T. Puffinbottoms. "As the great Thomas Wolfe novel tells us, You Can Go Home Again."
It seems that quite a few entertainment industry veterans agree:
"It's gonna be great," commented Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose.
"I predict a smash hit," said Star Wars Prequel Trilogy creator George Lucas.
"I can't envision any scenario in which this isn't completely awesome," added X-Men Forever scribe Chris Claremont.
"Fantastic!" shouted Superman Returns star Brandon Routh.
"Shut up and take my money, brother!" replied TNA Impact wrestling icon Hulk Hogan.
"How could this go wrong?" wondered Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull star Harrison Ford.
"I can't wait for this," cheered Blues Brothers 2000 actor Dan Aykroyd.
"Though I'm surprised they were able to get the project off the ground," the Ghostbusters 3 star added sadly.
Thanos Annual #1 will be on sale in May. It's sure to be just as good as everything you remember from your childhood.

Thank You. Wow. Thank You.
The Moon would like to thank everyone who contributed to making The Moon Summer Spectacular our greatest, most fun show yet. First and foremost, we would like to thank the SOLD-OUT crowd, who could not have been warmer. To everyone who was turned away at the door, we are deeply sorry. Please follow us on twitter, as we will continue to give away free tickets to shows.
We would like to thank our stellar guests, MC Chris, Todd Barry, Kurt Braunohler, and Kristen Schaal. What can we say about them that we have not already screamed? And we would, of course, like to thank our house band, CSC Funk Band, for bringing the show to life in a way we've dreamed of since the very beginning.
Thanks to Zac Palladino of PuppeTyranny and Victoria Durand for unleashing the monster.
Additional thanks go to our friends at 92Y Tribeca: Kambri Crews, tech wizard Wayne Lopes, Wendy Weinman, and Maya Wainhaus. Extra thanks to Maya for taking the photos above. The full gallery can be found on flickr.

Now onward to Wrestlemania
Now that The Royal Rumble is finally said and done we must now focus on the next milestone pay per view for WWE which is the grandest stage of them all, Wrestlemania.
The obvious happened The Rock has beat CM Punk for the WWE Championship and now he must survive the elimination chamber or a rematch with CM Punk, Personally I would prefer a rematch against Punk, because I believe their match at the Royal Rumble was good but not great and I believe they both have it in them to pull off a great match.
If this does happen I don't see CM Punk regaining his WWE Championship at Elimination chamber I see him losing the match but not by pinfall, I see him losing by a count out, interference or a disqualification.
Where does Cena fit in all this you ask? Well I think we won't be seeing Punk v.s Undertaker at this years Wrestlemania maybe next year, I see it being The Rock v.s CM Punk v.s John Cena, because this way WWE is not going back on their 'Once in a Lifetime' line, and we also have Punk where he deserves to be which is in the Wrestlemania spot light.
Once again if this we're to happen I see Cena winning the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania, because Punks time as champion is over for now, he needs a break of being champion, and The Rocks time as WWE Champion is very limited as he probably won't be able to attend all the Raw live shows and not to mention the tours. Another reason I see them putting Punk into the match is I've noticed with all of Rocks matches, he gets tired very easily and very quickly, I was waiting for him to cough up a lung when he was facing CM Punk, so adding a third person to the mix will give The Rock some breathing space while the match is going on.
As for the World title, that right now is a wildcard I cannot even try to predict what will happen with Alberto Del Rio, maybe Ryback will be involved somehow? Because usually the last person eliminated in the Royal Rumble goes for the other championship at Wrestlemania for example Royal Rumble 2005 last two participants were Batista and John Cena, Batista won, and the Wrestlemania Main events were Batista v.s Triple H, John Cena v.s JBL.
One thing I truly believe will be on the Wrestlemania card and I'm very happy and proud to say this is
Chris Jericho v.s Dolph Ziggler
As for this match I have a good idea on how they can make it very personal and very heated quite quickly, have these two go back and forth till Elimination Chamber pay per view. Then after World title match whether it's in the chamber or not have Dolph cash in his money in the bank contract, and while the match against the champion is underway have Chris Jericho come out and distract, interfere, or attack Ziggler and ruin his chances of winning the World title.
Think of how furious Ziggler would be, holding that contract for just under a year to be screwed out of It, that right there would be the beginning of a great match up and a great fued.
Who the Undertaker will be facing I do not know, personally no one comes to mind, Lesnar is too wreckless and even the WWE media has even pointed that out, The Rock and CM Punk are being used up, it could be Punk but I don't see WWE going back on their whole Once in a lifetime match up, and the only way I can sort of see them avoiding that is adding Punk.
Triple H is having a rematch with Brock Lesnar by the looks of it, which I currently have mixed feelings about, I think once was enough but it could be worse.
For now though those are my current thoughts on Wrestlemania, if it does turn out like that I think I will be quite interested in it, especially Jericho and Ziggler.
If you have any thoughts or predictions of your own post them below.

940 Tasting Notes
Thank you GiggleGoddess for the swap! This one is VERY similar to the malted choco-mate. Honestly, I'd have to do a side by side tasting to be able to tell them apart probably? Just really strong chocolate and roasted mate flavor from both of them. Having said that, I DO enjoy them both! :)
I knew I would like this tea as soon as I saw the ingredients list. Thanks Dinosara! I love coconut and nuts and vanilla and white tea. One of my favorite Harney & Sons Blends so far. I received two sachets in my swap and I will be sharing the other with my local friend who is a big H&S tea fan! :)
Oh my goodness! This one is going on my shopping list :) Thanks so much for the sample Dinosara! Very natural pineapple flavor. LOVE!
Hey, this is not bad! A tea with mint where I can taste things other than the mint! That in itself makes this one interesting. Oh, and thanks GiggleGoddess!
I can't really think of a comparison…it's mostly mint but I can also detect mild juniper and a hint of maybe fruit? It works for me but I could see how it might not work for some. Juniper is a love / hate thing I think.
Thank you so much for the sample Dinosara! I wanted to try this one first because I've had a Bao Zhong before but never a plain one. I have had a coconut flavored one that I LOVED. This one is wonderful too! Might be my favorite oolong I've tried so far :D I can't wait to get to my next steep, heh. It is light and buttery and floral YUM.

Are You a Bad Test Taker?
If you consider yourself a bad test taker, then you've come to the right place.
Over 1.5 million students will take the ACT this year, but many of them will, regrettably, fail to earn scores that reflect their true abilities. A growing number of students, it seems, explain their underperformance by branding themselves bad test takers. In reality, though, most students are simply not taught to tackle the ACT strategically.
We developed a new approach, The ACT for Bad Test Takers,specifically with these students in mind. It serves as a crash course in strategic thinking for students who are frustrated with their lackluster performance on the ACT. In it, we show students how to take advantage of the ACT's structure and details a proven technique that students can follow to significantly boost their scores.
Using this simple yet revolutionary approach for tackling all four sections of the ACT, we teach our students to abandon certain bad test-taking habits and to start viewing the exam tactically. Master these effective strategies, and you'll be well on your way toward earning the ACT score you deserve!

How To Install a New Light Fixture
First, you'll be removing the old fixture - check out our step-by-step instructions:
• How To Remove a Light Fixture
Now, on to installing the new one...
What You Need:
• New light fixture, including mounting bracket and screws
• Wire Nuts
• Wire stripper, or a basic utility knife
• Screwdriver or power drill
1. Turn off the circuit breaker associated with your light. I operate on the paranoid end of the fear scale when it comes to electricity, so don't mess with me on this. If you're not sure which breaker operates that particular light fixture, do this project during the daylight and turn the main breaker off. Or get comfortable with a headlamp.
2. Examine your new light fixture and read any instructions that come with it. Every light fixture is different.
There should be at least two wires coming out of the fixture: a white (neutral) wire and a black (hot) wire. In this case, the two were conjoined and covered with protective plastic. Although they look identical, one wire has a ridge that you can feel with your finger. This is the white wire.
3. Separate the wires a little ways, then use the wire stripper to expose roughly an inch of bare wire on each end. If you don't have a wire stripper, gently cut the plastic all around the wire with a knife, then strip it off manually.
4. Next, attach the wires protruding from the ceiling box to the wires on your light fixture. Notice that the ceiling has a black and a white wire as well. The third copper colored wire is the ground wire.
Twist the exposed parts of the white wires together clockwise, then screw the wire nut onto the ends. Do the same with the black ones. Note: you might need help holding the light fixture up while you do this step. Loop the exposed part of the copper ground wire around the green screw on the mounting bracket of the light fixture, then tighten it into place.
5. Tuck all the wires neatly into the ceiling box, then screw the fixture's mounting bracket into the ceiling box, according to the instructions. Once you test it out and see it's working properly, you are done!
Variations That Might Trip You Up
• Sometimes wires from the ceiling box attach directly to the metal part of the ceiling light, instead of to corresponding wires. If so, wrap the black wire around the brass screw, and the white around the silver screw.
• The ground wire is sometimes green instead of copper.
• If there is a green screw on the mounting bracket of the light fixture, loop the exposed part of the ground wire around the screw, then tighten it into place.
• If there is a grounding wire on your light fixture as well, attach the two grounds together and secure with a wire nut, just like you do with the black and white wires.
• In the case of multi-light fixtures, there can be more than one black and white wires. If so, attach all the black together and all the whites together.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw this post but I have a dual problem--several ugly old light fixtures that are almost all on pull chains (yup, old apartment). Any ideas? The cost to rewire is several hundred dollars per room so for now I'm stuck...right?
A wire nut on a bare copper wire serves no purpose at all. That wire, which is the ground wire, must be bonded to the metal box, if present, or a ground terminal on the metal fixture bar. If the light fixture has a ground wire, it must also be spliced to that. Be aware that you will be creating a fire hazard if you leave a loose splice behind (a common mistake for do-it-yourselfers).
I live in argentina and don't have a third copper wire. Is that a problem?
Never have the nerve. The wiring in the house we rent it very old and scary. I would rather live with the ugly lights or have an electrician do it if one goes. Maybe if I lived in a brand new house?! I've rewired plenty of lamps in my time and it does look easy.
Buonpane, we have a 100 year old house with the same issue. If you can't find the pendant you want with a pull chain, I recommend using this pull chain insert.
I replaced my first electrical fixture a week ago. It was just a simple closet fixture (the existing fixture was burning out bulbs). I was super excited to successfully complete this project, and it really was pretty simple. It gave me a lot of confidence in my fix-it skills, but I still know my limitations. I'm having an electrician come in to look at my ugly buggy florescent fixtures in my bathroom. Ugh.
love the new light. Do you have a link to where it can be found?
I've rewired a house top to bottom. I'm blessed to have had the opportunity to learn things such as electrical and plumbing throughout my years. I do my best to pass what I've learned to anybody who will let me so they too will be comfortable and confident handling projects such as this. @house voyeur the missing ground wire won't be a problem in your light fixture.
@Tanni I believe the new light is a Fly Suspension by Kartell: http://www.lumens.com/FLY-Suspension-Lamp-by-Kartell/PAAAIAKCKLBHMGDB/product
@buonpane :this should do the trick. However, if you use more than one in a close space, you might end up with mixed signals. http://www.amazon.com/Heath-Zenith-BL-6138-WH-Solutions-Wireless/dp/B001B5QZSO/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1346190750&sr=8-9&keywords=remote+light+switch
I have replaced a fixture in my house, but the wiring is very old. I felt better having my electrician come in and do the rest. He had a lot of cleaning up to do. If you have newer wiring, it's a snap.
I purchased two fan/light combos for my apartment and begged my dad to help me install them (having done nothing electrical before, I was a bit leery of electrocuting myself). Dad showed me how to do the first one and I took the lead on the second. It was wonderfully simple. I'm sure there are tutorials on YouTube for anyone without a Mr. or Ms. Fix It to rely on for help.

With the new federal health reform law, and recent announcements dramatically increasing the number of audits that Medicare will be conducting, through its vigilante "auditors", is it time to consider opting out of Medicare?
In order to answer that question you first need to know your options. Most physicians are participating providers with Medicare. That allows them to accept assignment and receive payments directly from Medicare. An alternative is to change to non-participating status. The advantage of this is that you can charge your patients additional fees, up to the Medicare limiting charge. However, Medicare will reduce the amount it pays you directly by five (5%) and, except on a case-by-case basis, you will not be permitted to accept assignment. That means that your patients will receive the check from Medicare for your services, and you will have to rely upon your patients to either endorse the check over to you, or to pay you directly for the care you rendered.
For those physicians who believe that changing from participating to non-participating status will eliminate the ability of the government to audit your charges, no such luck. As long as your bill is submitted to Medicare, from any source, you are subject to audit.
A third option is to completely opt-out of Medicare. The rules associated with this process are somewhat complicated. By opting out neither you nor your patient will receive any Medicare reimbursement. Because no Medicare monies will be involved there should be no audits, but there can still be compliance issues with respect to whether or not you followed the complicated opt-out requirements.
By opting out, a physician is not required to submit claims to Medicare on behalf of his patients, and is not restricted to the limits on charges for Medicare covered services. However, you cannot opt-out selectively. If you opt-out, even for one patient, you have elected to completely opt-out for two years.
In order to opt-out, you need to enter into private contracts with Medicare beneficiaries. These contracts require Medicare beneficiaries to agree to give up Medicare payments for services furnished by the physician and to pay the physician without regard to any limits that would otherwise apply to what the physician could charge.
In addition to entering into a private agreement, the physician must file an affidavit notifying all Medicare carriers to which he would submit claims, advising each that he has opted out of Medicare.
Physicians thinking about opting out should first consider the above requirements and weigh the potential benefits of opting out for their practice. If, after careful consideration, the physician decides to pursue opting out, he or she should contact a healthcare attorney to address all of the very specific requirements necessary to effectuate that decision.
