Korra Nation,

Now that you’ve all gotten a glimpse into the new Korra universe, we have a question we’d love to pick your brain on:

If you could have any single piece of Korra swag, what would it be? A Naga dog bowl? A Fire Ferrets t-shirt? A waterbending water bottle? Reblog, comment and let us know!

Ok, so.. For a long time, I’ve claimed that obviously the egg came before the chicken, as the first chicken had to be hatched from something.

We had a discussion about it today at work, and Jens contested that claim. So now I’ve revised my position.

Chicken can lay eggs without them being…

In regards to whether the chicken came before the egg, the egg came first; dinosaurs laid eggs before chickens ever did. However, when it comes to the chicken and the chicken egg, the chicken came first.

September Giveaway: Pokemon Unova Gym Badges with Display

This is my third giveaway and I realized I haven’t yet given away a set of Pokemon badges. So this here are the Unova Pokemon gym badges that magnetically attach to a display case which I may add to my shop in the future.

Rules:

Reblog this post just once to be entered to win. Likes and follows don’t count but are deeply appreciated. Giveaway ends Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 11:59 PST.

And as asked by my fellow tumblrheads, I will be announcing the winner instead of contacting them by their ask box so you need not turn them on. So on Sunday night/Monday morning, check back to see if you’ve won and email me at blazerdesigns@gmail.com.

Since I am almost at a thousand followers, and if I can break a thousand followers by the end of the giveaway, I will pick a second winner and this second winner can pick any one set of Pokemon gym badges that I have in my shop as their prize.

Good luck tumblrheads!

Anybody else find it strange that the first hurricane of the season is set to hit New York?

Furthermore, how New York is the most recent state to allow gay marriage?

Hurricanes hardly ever go up north, the tend to hit Florida and the southern states. However, as soon as hurricane season barely…

I can’t believe this… THIS is why I hate religion, because religion allows idiots to make excuses for the most absurd things. Maybe GOD was angry at all of you for hating on Japan and Haiti. Maybe GOD was angry because the earthquake along the East Coast didn’t put any perspective into your minds; that America is NOT safe from ANY natural disaster, no matter how good our country is or how pure the religion. How about NOT blaming on the life choices people make and just be thankful that God allowed you to live?

Leucism, or leukism, is an abnormal plumage condition caused by a genetic mutation that prevents pigment, particularly melanin, from being properly deposited on a bird’s feathers. As a result, the birds do not have the normal, classic plumage colors listed in field guides, and instead the plumage have several color changes, including: white patches where the bird should not have any; paler overall plumage that looks faint, diluted or bleached; or overall white plumage with little or no color discernible.

Leucism is relatively unusual in birds, and albinism is rare. From 2000-2006, Project FeederWatch participants reported fewer than 1000 leucistic birds. Given that participants report about 5.5 million birds each season, the percentage of leucistic birds being reported is very small.

How to Apply the Bible to Daily Life

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a US radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show. On her radio show recently, she said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, she believed that homosexuality was an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and that it could not be condoned under any circumstance.

The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet.

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God’s Laws and how to follow them.

1.      Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations.

Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.

A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can’t I own Canadians?

 2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as  sanctioned in Exodus 21:7,8.

            And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
            If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.

 In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?


3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15: 19

And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.

 The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

 4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9.

            But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

 The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

 5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2

            Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.

 The passage clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

 6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10,

            And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:

 it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this? Are there ‘degrees’ of abomination?

 7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight.

            Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;

 I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

 8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27.

            Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.

 How should they die?

 9. I know from Lev. 11:7-8

Le 11:7

And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.

Le 11:8

Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.

 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

 10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19

Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.


 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:14

Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

Couldn’t we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14) 

And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you

I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging.

Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk.
This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.

Myth #2 – Introverts are shy.
Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite.

Myth #3 – Introverts are rude.
Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting.

Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people.
On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in.

Myth #5 – Introverts don’t like to go out in public.
Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts.

Myth #6 – Introverts always want to be alone.
Introverts are perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But they can also get incredibly lonely if they don’t have anyone to share their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time.

Myth #7 – Introverts are weird.
Introverts are often individualists. They don’t follow the crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they often challenge the norm. They don’t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy.

Myth #8 – Introverts are aloof nerds.
Introverts are people who primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what is going on around them, it’s just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them.

Myth #9 – Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun.
Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just look it up.

Myth #10 – Introverts can fix themselves and become Extroverts.
Introverts cannot “fix themselves” and deserve respect for their natural temperament and contributions to the human race. In fact, one study (Silverman, 1986) showed that the percentage of Introverts increases with IQ

THIS THIS THIS

Completely accurate for me.

This is so me. Need to show my mom this so she stops believing I have a social/mental problem, lmao. 

So me! It’s a perfect way of understanding why I do the things I do.
