This tumblr has forked. Visit the new tumblrs below if they appeal to you.
Enlighten-tainment. Things that widen in a pleasing, relevant way go here.
Happiness research, flecks of wisdom, and anything that informs good life choices.
As I learn more, I continue to refine the way I eat and live. Whether you’re a food and health bookworm or an enthusiastic neophyte this blog was built for you.
When people become apprised of solid solutions, our blessed elected officials usually take heed. This site aims to spotlight little morsels of information to goad that process along. This site claps if you care about education, the environment, healthcare, science, politics, and the world.
For things that are amusing or enjoyable.

tumblrbot asked: WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?
There was a guy at my elementary school who had a mailbag instead of a book bag. He may well have been mocked, but I can only remember the mailbag, not the consequences.
Haha so someone close to me was looking at some clothes and said “those clothes are too matchy-matchy.” She meant they were a little too metrosexual.
I just so love language and little expressions that sort of resonate and so capture exactly what needs to be said.
Anyway, these are the shorts that earned that phrase:
I just added this related posts widget to my tumblrs. -
I so love related posts. It reminded me of things I’ve posted and forgotten. It’s a really cool way to click around my tumblrs. I ended up entertaining myself. Such a big thank you to the creators.
If you want to add it to your tumblr, here is the script. You’ll note I updated the jquery library to 1.5.0 - this got rid of a few incompatibilities with some other things on my site - I recommend you do the same. Using a custom tumblr theme, “Paste this code anywhere you want inside the {block:Posts} … {/blockPosts} tags.” I put it just above the notes section.
{block:HasTags}
<script src=”http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.0/jquery.min.js”></script>
<script src=”http://relposts.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/relposts.js?tags={block:Tags}{Tag},{/block:Tags}” type=”text/javascript”></script>
{/block:HasTags}
I found this which is a cool bit of code that shows the most recent posts on my blog. At first it only worked for text posts and link posts. I modified it to add in videos and photos and quotes, but the formatting was all wrong, and some posts were ridiculously wrong. I modified the code to get around those problems, as best I could. I converted the HTML from the tumblr API into text so that no stray links got in there - which had been a problem before. This also helped with formatting problems. I limited the length of quotes, video captions and photo captions to 80 characters so the posts weren’t too long. I also updated the jquery to 1.5.0 because that was causing some problems with some other things I was doing.
To make it work in your tumblr, put this in your description or somewhere relevant in your theme and replace “foodnhealth” with your tumblr ID. This shows 50 posts, but to shower fewer posts, change the number 50 at the end to whatever you want. Replace the 80 with whatever you want to change the 80 character limit.
<script src=”http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.0/jquery.min.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
function strip(html)
{
var tmp = document.createElement(“DIV”);
tmp.innerHTML = html;
return tmp.textContent||tmp.innerText;
}
function tumblr(resp) {
var posts = resp.posts;
$(‘#blog .loading’).replaceWith(‘<ul/>’);
$ul = $(‘#blog ul’);
for (var i=0; i<posts.length; i++) {
var p = posts[i];
var title = p[‘regular-title’] || p[‘link-text’] || null;
if (title)
$ul.append(‘<li><a href=”’+p[‘url’]+’”>’+title+’</a></li>’);
var title = p[‘photo-caption’] || p[‘quote-text’] || p[‘video-caption’] || p[‘conversation-title’] || p[‘audio-caption’] || p[‘question’] || null;
if (title) {
title = strip ( title);
if (title.length>80) title = title.substring(0,80) + “…”;
$ul.append(‘<li><a href=”’+p[‘url’]+’”>’+title+’</a></li>’);
}
}
}
</script>
<div id=”blog”>
<h2>Recent Posts</h2>
<span class=”loading”>Loading…</span>

Added these tag clouds to my tumblrs. -
If you use them, I recommend calling jquery 1.5.0 instead of 1.4.2, because it can cause problems if you have multiple versions of jquery. So just put this in your description or anywhere:
<script src=”http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.0/jquery.min.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://rive.rs/javascripts/tumblr_tag_cloud.min.js?css=default&minsize=120&maxsize=280”></script>

a person’s signature can change depending on how they think about themselves, with people sometimes unconsciously increasing the size of their signature when their self-esteem is raised or when they want to convey their uniqueness or social status. (Zweigenhaft 1977).

The right body language can almost double the effectiveness of salesmen -
Cesario & Higgins characterize an eager nonverbal style as “approach-oriented”:
- very animated, broad opening movements
- hand movements openly projected outward
- forward-leaning body positions
- fast body movements
- a fast speech rate
In contrast, they characterize a vigilant nonverbal style as “avoidance-oriented”:
- more precise gestures
- backward-leaning positions
- slower body movements
- slower speech
- If your strategy is aimed primarily at increasing the perceived attractiveness of your request or offer, an eager nonverbal style is more likely to be effective.
- if your strategy is focused specifically on reducing the other person’s resistance to your proposal, a vigilant nonverbal style is more likely to be effective.
when the salesperson used an eager nonverbal style, the door-in-the-face technique proved much more powerful (92% compliance) than the control condition (50% compliance).
