No study of architecture and engineering would be complete without talking about the Great Pyramids. Egyptian architecture is as mesmerizing in the 21st century as it must have been mystifying when they were constructed. And thanks to Bubble Guppies, a subject of great fascination to my preschool and toddler too! Egyptian Architecture…
At a heavy metal concert five years ago, physicist Jesse Silverberg had a "eureka" moment: The jumping, raucous fans at the show seemed to be moving about like molecules in the air we breathe. So he and friend Matt Bierbaum set out to understand the patterns within mosh pit motion.

Reading articles and clicking through a million galleries: Not for me. Seeing a bunch of information all on one graph: Perfect. Buzzfeed put together this graph of all the major colleges, and where they stand in the academics and party rankings. I'm proud to say WVU is at the top of one side, and not at the total bottom of the other! You can make it bigger by clicking on it if you're blind. I still think WVU should be even further to the right, but whateva. Hataz gon' hate. UVA #1 overall though when adding up the points?! GTFOH. They wear ties and dresses to football games. [Yeah, that's all I got on them, really.] I also find it interesting that the most popular squares are the best of both worlds and the worst of both worlds. Sorry boutchya Kent State people. Now let's get sports mixed in here too. Would that make it 3-D. They have 3-D printers now.... love, elizabethany PS: I should probably go back to school to learn about graphs. Tweet

Wilhelm Ferdinand Bendz Danish painter mainly known for genre works and portrait which often portray his artist colleagues and their daily lives. He was one of the most talented artists in the successful generation of painters who studied under Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg but died early and has therefore left a relatively small oeuvre. He attended the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1820 to 1825, where he studied under Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg. In 1825 he made an unsuccessful attempt to win the gold medal, only given to history paintings, the most prestigious genre at that time, and after that decided to specialize in portraits and genre works. After graduation, Bendz contributed successfully with a number of works to the annual exhibitions at Charlottenborg. Three of his paintings were acquired by the Royal Painting Collection; Model Class at the Art Academy and A Young artist looking at a sketch through a mirror from 1826 and the monumentally sized A sculptor working with a live model from 1827 and A Tobacco Party from 1828. After this Bendz was emploed as an assistant at Eckersberg's studio, working on routine assignments. In late 1830 Bendz finally received a travel scholarship which enabled him to leave for southern Europe which was considered a crucial part of an art education . After shorter visits to Dresden and Berlin, he went to Munich, which had developed into a vibrant centre for the arts, and where he stayed for around a year. His most important work from the stay is the thoroughly composed group portrait "Artist in the Evening at Finck's Coffee House in Munich". In the autumn of 1832 he continued his journey towards Rome, stopping in Venice on the way where he reunited with Ditlev Blunck, a friend and fellow painter from his student days at the Academy in Copenhagen. Shortly after, in Vicenza, Bendz who had felt ill since Venice died from a lung infection at age 28. Today he is mainly remembered for his many technically accomplished portraits, though his ambition most of all ran towards a refined fusion of portrait, genre scene and allegorical history painting. His technical virtuosity is particularly visible in his depictions of the play of light cast from an obscured source and the resulting shadows.

I attended a Bible teacher's workshop and wanted to share some of the photos. The photos are mine, please excuse the roughness, I miss my good camera, but you can get the general idea. And, that is what I want to do, is share ideas for teaching Jesus! I do have permission from the women that held the workshop to share the photos. Some of the ideas you see are found in old Ideashop magazines, if you still have them! If you have specific questions on how to do something, the questions for the chart, etc, let me know and I will find out. Please allow a short time for me to return the answer. Please, keep in mind, that examples for the ideas were put all over the walls, so you will not see finished bulletin boards, etc. It is ideas for you to make! And, I did not crop the photos. Here they are, in random order: Some of the walls first Jonah & the Great Fish wall visual These creation background boards are felt and/or fabric attached to a board, and then you add pictures, etc for each day of creation. I forgot about these, until I looked at the photos... and I REALLY need to make them! The base (center) of the flower has "blessed are the..." , then students add the center over that with the answer. This is the finished flower pot. Balaam The 3 kings: Saul, David, and Solomon. You can see what I did with the 3 kings here. Solomon's Temple Info Wall Jonah tossed from the boat into the water, then... Jonah in the Great Fish (I think that might be attached with Velcro and added after Jonah is swallowed), then, next is a couple of Jonah table visuals. Joseph (above) next is Prophets.

Me and 80+ blog buddies got together to bring you 80+ DIY Halloween costumes, including my Elephant and Piggie Costumes. I'm teaming up with Jamie Dorobek and her handmade Halloween costume site, Really Awesome Costumes to bring y'all tons of easy ideas to craft up DIY Halloween costumes for everyone including your pets, family costumes, and even a trunk or treat idea! Along with my Elephant and Piggie Costumes, I'm sharing 88+ more really awesome handmade costume ideas from talented bloggers everywhere! So let me say, I am crazy... Let me finish. I am crazy about Halloween costumes. I also quite enjoy themed costumes for Halloween. This year we went with costumes that are based on book characters. Our family LOVES the Elephant and Piggie books by Mo Willems. Have you read those books? Oh my word, they are amazing, hilarious, and all together quite fantastic. We have almost all of them, and we read them all the time. All. The. Time. So it was a no brainer on our Halloween O' Book Characters to dress the youngest two as Gerald the Elephant and Piggie for this Halloween. Another reason it seemed destined to dress them as Elephant and Piggie is because Gerald, the Elephant, wears glasses and Little wears glasses. It was meant to be. For both of the costumes I started with Butterick Pattern 3238. I used micro fleece. I altered the tail, the ears, and omitted the elastic in both costumes. The tails and ears are both made to mimic the book characters themselves. I followed then construction instructions I just changed the shapes. The were a few components not made from the pattern. For Gerald, I added the toenails in a lighter fleece. I cut 3 half circles for each "leg". That was 12 total. Then I sewed them on to the edge of the sleeves and the end of the splats (shoe covers). I also made a simple trunk by sewing a tube, filling it with batting and then attaching it to a piece of fleece. Then I sewed elastic to the ends of the fleece.. For sweet little Piggie, I only added a cute but ridiculously large piggy snout. I sewed to black felt slits to the front of an oval piece of fleece. Then I attached a piece of elastic. Did I mention anything about the cuteness? Elephant and Piggie are a pretty good start to our Halloween O' Book Characters. And now it's time for tons more DIY Halloween costume inspiration!
