Photini, your gummy bears are making me hungry!

I ate them 0.5 seconds after I took that photo. I love gummy bears.

Funny. Did you play with them before you ate them?

 

[Photini]

Funny. Did you play with them before you ate them?

LOL, no, but I did eat them all at once.

Don't tell me you never had like fake karate fights between the gummy bears!

 

[Photini]

Yeah, I have. But mostly my gummy bears love each other and give each other hugs and they also like to balance on each other's shoulders. These particular gummy bears got to be my models for a picture of the week challenge (the theme was 'diversity').

And I am sure you have made them dance to tunes on the radio...

I had a lovely quiet weekend No uni work, just sleep and watching tv and eating. I made choc-vanilla swirl cookies too

 

[ClementofRome]

I need a lovely quiet weekend...

 

[Photini]

No such thing as quiet around my house. Not since Allie discovered how to scream in this ear-piercing high pitched screech. She screams when she's happy. She screams when she's tired. She screams when she's hungry...she screams when she's full...you get the picture... =)

It's cute 'n all, but I'll be happy when she discovers a different noise to make.


And I have to share this pic with you guys, because I can't, in good conscience, keep all this cuteness to myself. It must be shared:

How delightful, Erikson's first stage of psychosocial development: Trust vs. Mistrust. Ego strength: Hope or drive.

In this stage, you have to make the world safe and comfortable for the infant so it will trust the world to be safe and gratifying, thus leading to exploratory behavior. The mistrustful baby cannot count on kindness and compassion and kindness of others, so it protects itself by becoming withdrawn.

First, that is precious. Graham crackers = awesome. (I think those are graham crackers anyways)



For my undergraduate I have to do a piece of original research. I want to use babies. I would love to set a baby in a room alone with a therapy trained specimen of Canis lupus familiaris or a sedated Canis lupus and see at what age they can recognize the difference between domesticated and non-domesticated animals and whether it correlates with any detectable neurological milestones.



I would like a sample of at least 50, randomly selected from the population of newborns, and randomly assigned to either wolf or dog as the experimental condition. This would give my experiment a high level of external validity. Of course, I will have to use multiple cohorts, probably under a month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months and 1 year.

And of course there is no way I will be given the resources to pull this off. A trained wolf, suitable therapy dogs, mothers willing to trust me with putting their infants alone in a room with a strange animal, and imaging scans of an entire research sample of screaming babies for an undergraduate isn't about to happen. Ah well.

You can always dream

 

[Michael G]

You can always dream

Problem is, if she were to dream the baby would probably wake up and interrupt it!

Yep. She's got some stranger anxiety going on full force and is very clingy in new situations. She looks at me first to see how to react to strangers that approach. When I smile, she relaxes a little...until the stranger tries to touch her.

Yes, graham crackers. She was mainly just crushing them rather than eating them. =)

But yeah, I don't think I'd want my baby in a room with a wolf. I'm wary of dogs as it is, much less wolfs.

Hey yinz guys who are my friends on FB, check out the pictures I just posted on my wall! They are HILARIOUS!

 

[laconicstudent]

Just curious, what are some peoples' opinions on the Death to the World zine?

DEATH TO THE WORLD

Anyone subscribe?

 

[Kristos]

I like it.

DEATH TO THE WORLD

Anyone subscribe?

I wish something like it existed for metalheads. And perhaps without the extreme-for-the-sake-of-being-extreme ethos, which is foreign to Orthodoxy.

That said... DTTW rocks face.

 

[laconicstudent]

Hmm, nice, I'm kind of thinking of subscribing, as it is only $12 for a 4-issue year. Even though I'm not exactly a "punk"


Edit: does anyone think they could explain Colossians 2:20-23 and what the Church says?

" 20If with Christ(AX) you died to the(AY) elemental spirits of the world,(AZ) why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations— 21(BA) "Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch" 22((BB) referring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to(BC) human precepts and teachings? 23These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in(BD) promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are(BE) of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh."

It seems to be condemning asceticism as practiced by the Fathers, which confuses me.
