Kittens Vs Toddlers - 10 Ways the two Compare

#pets #kids #children #kittens #cats #top10 #funnycats #humor #versus #lolcat #babies

       Kittens and toddlers have been stealing our hearts since the dawn of time. There's something about that perfect combination of babyish cuteness, uncanny bursts of intelligence, and that tendency to not care what anyone thinks that makes their antics utterly hilarious. A cat is a cat, and a human is a human, but that doesn't mean we can't get a good laugh from comparing the two! As a long-time toddler-wrangler, and a first-time kitty-mommy, I'm going to share some funny things I've observed.

       A local coffee place had open mic night in November, and I stopped by to play a few songs. There was great music, great coffee, and overall it was just a lot of fun. Here are a few videos of some of the music I played that night.

Trying Tofu - Is It Really Like Meat?

#Tofu #Veggie #Vegetarian #Cooking #VegetarianMeals #GoVeggie #MeatlessMeal #NewFoods #Culinary #Food #Foodie

       How to prepare tofu:
            Step 1: Throw it in the trash.
            Step 2: Grill a steak.

       Just kidding! Out of curiosity, I tried tofu. It was my first time cooking it, and my first time eating it outside of miso soup. Now, I'm a major meat-lover, so anything that claims to be "just like the real thing" is met with extreme skepticism. Nevertheless, I decided to give it a go.

Ukulele Cover - Positively 4th Street

#Music #Uke # Ukulele #BobDylan #Cover #Song #Video #YouTube #Tribute #Positively4thStreet #Art&Crafts 

       This is a cover of a Bob Dylan song called Positively 4th Street. It's one of my favorites because it's all about being a realist when it comes to fake friends. I chose it as my first Ukulele cover because it was a spur-of-the-moment thing, and I think the uke is a great spur-of-the-moment instrument. You can find the original version of Positively 4th Street on Google Play, here.

   You've probably heard that CSS makes building web pages a lot easier. But how? Basically, CSS is a giant shortcut. It allows you to use one file to dictate the style of your entire webpage, instead of adding attributes to every single HTML tag. By telling the computer what to modify, and how, you save typing, save computer memory, and save a ton of hassle if you ever decide to change the style of your web page.

Star Wars The Old Republic, Roleplayers' Survival Guide

#gaming #mmo #geek #starwars #swtor #swtfe #RPG #roleplay #MTFBWY #gameguide #gamergirl

   With The Force Awakens nearing its highly anticipated release, those of you who play MMOs may be inspired to get your Star Wars on. As far as roleplaying games go, Star Wars, The Old Republic/The Fallen Empire is pretty much the only game in town. SWTOR (Or SWTFE, as it's sometimes called since the recent Fallen Empire expansion), which has been online since December 20th, 2011, is a vast, beautifully crafted digital world set in the Star Wars universe. Since SWG's shut down on December 15th of the same year, TOR has been the go-to for MMORPG gamers to get their Star Wars fix.

   However, as many roleplayers have discovered, the game is kind of a pain in the neck to actually roleplay (RP) in. While there are features a-plenty for finding and connection with people for quests, instances, PVP, and other combat content, there's little in place for connecting roleplayers with one another.

   Fortunately, where there's a will, there's a way. If you're interested in some tips and tricks on finding RP in Star Wars the Old Republic, then read on.

      Web Design sounds pretty complicated, but it doesn't have to be. Today, tools like Wordpress and Blogger make it easy for someone with little to no knowledge of HTML to own and update a working website.

10 Foods To Fight Seasonal Allergies

#Allergies #Food #Health #Diet #Natural #FoodFriday #Wellness #HomeRemedy #HealthyFood #HealthyLiving #Vitamins

DISCLAIMER: The following post is for education and entertainment purposes, and is not intended to be used as medical advice. Always consult your doctor, and do your own research, before using any herbal medicine or home remedy!

   Allergies are really just a big misunderstanding. They happen when a foreign material (say, pollen) is mistaken for something harmful. Your body thinks it's being attacked, so your immune system fights back with antibodies to kill the invader. It's these reactions that cause the irritation, runny/stuffy nose, and scratchy throats associated with allergies.

   Like most things that ail the human body, this, too, can be fought with food! Here, you can learn how the ten readily-available foods featured on this list could help fight your seasonal allergies. In addition to this, I've included a list of seven allergy-fighting ingredients, and the foods that contain them; as well as a list of what foods to avoid to keep from triggering specific allergies. Curious how your diet can affect your hay fever? Read on!

Tune Almost Any Instrument With These 3 Free Apps

#GuitarTuning #PitchPipe #TunesTuesday #TuneInstrument #Music #HowToTune #AlternateTuning #OutOfTune #Guitar #TopThree #Apps

   It's Sunday morning. In ten minutes, the choir will be playing the gathering song. I check my guitar one more time to see if it's tuned, and....... twaing~! Ouch. That didn't sound right. But no worries! I have a YouTube video on my phone, ready to go! I step outside, and discover that my internet has ZERO bars. Worries.

   Luckily, an E from the piano saved the day, but it was suggested that a guitar tuning app would come in handy for the future. That got me to thinking. If there are apps for tuning guitar, what other tuning apps are out there? Which apps are the best? A few hours hanging out on the Google Play store, and a few downloads later, I came up with this list.

My DeviantArt Gallery- Favorite Arts from my Old Blog

#Deviantart #MerryLurker #Art #Morochey #Mermaids, #Characters #Original #Digital #Traditional #Pencil #Painting

   Today I take on the task of moving the art from my old blog over to the DeviantArt gallery for my new one. It's kind of like the digital equivalent of cleaning my room. This is so, of course, in the sense that it's totally tedious, and takes forever. However, it's also so in the sense that I'm rediscovering a bunch of my cool old stuff.

   I'm going to toss up some of my favorites, along with a link to my Gallery. I still have a lot more to add, so if you like what you see, feel free to follow me on DA.

Jvloggers! Three Awesome YouTube Channels About Japan

#Japan #Jvlog #Jvlogger #YouTube #Rachel&Jun #MexicanSamurai100 #Unrested #Culture

        Let's learn a new word. Well, okay, maybe you already knew this one...  but humor me.

       Jvlogger: (Jay-vlog-er) n. One who has a video-blog (or "vlog") about Japan.

       YouTube is awesome. It just is. You can learn, be entertained, and hear from people all around the world; and all you have to do is click and watch. One great example of this is the J-vlogger community. Through fun, informative videos from the point of view of gaijin (foreign persons) in Japan, they're helping to bridge the cultural gap between the once-secluded, conservative island country and the western world. Whether you're planning to visit Japan, or are just interested in what it's like over there, any of these videos a good way to spend a few minutes of your day.

       Here I'll share a few of my favorite channels; along with videos, why they sparked my interest in the first place, and how they kept my attention.
