Interested in helping with research in an area which could help other teens?

We’re researchers conducting a study on the experiences of youth in America today. Our study looks at how youth relate to themselves and the world around them, and we would be very grateful to anyone
who can help us out. You can help us by filling out an online survey about your experiences. It will take a few minutes and all responses are confidential so no one will know you took it unless you want them to. Follow the link below to learn more and take the survey! https://sites.google.com/site/teenstodayproject/  Thanks!

 

This research is being conducted by researchers at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. If you have any questions or comments, you can contact us through our message box, contact the principle investigator of the Interpersonal Perceptions Lab at iplab@psych.wisc.edu, or contact the IRB office at 608-263-2320.

• If you’re looking for great photography, you’d find plenty in our whirlwind tour of the world through the eyes of bloggers from Russia to Burundi. Also, food blogs, anyone?

Spoil Your Appetite with Three Mouthwatering Food Blogs

WordPress.com News

Blogging tends to make us hungry, which explains our tendency to highlight great food blogs. Today, you’re in for a particular treat: three food blogs that serve up gorgeous design on top of mouthwatering creations. Now, if only we could invent a Tasting Widget…

PornBurger

Don’t be alarmed by the site’s name — it’s perfectly safe for work, though probably less so for your keyboard (drool alert!). In this blog, burger-meister Matthew Ramsey unveils a new, groundbreaking masterpiece every week.

In case you were wondering, yes, the “buns” are fried mac and cheese.

Hummingbird Cake with Whipped Coconut Frosting

The Pink Rose Bakery

Come in, take a seat, make yourself at home, I’ve made cake.

It seems ages since I last made a cake, as in a round with frosting cake. I thought it was about time. Especially after this weekend, which can be summarised thus:

• Broken – one silicone spatula (wedged in a batch of cookie dough) and one cat food fork (which flew across the utility room leaving a trail of tuna flakes in its wake).
• Steam Burns to Left Index Finger – Two (it probably thinks I have something against it now).
• Lacerated Right Knee and Top of Shin – One.
• Small Yet Deep Puncture Wound to Left Thigh – One.
• Number of Cakes Made – Two.

It you are a cat owner, you probably have some idea how points 3 and 4 came about. There I was, sitting down for 30 minutes of mindless television watching in the afternoon…
