DIY Guitar Pick Punch 10 Answers For Steven Moffat Plotholes Steven Moffat is the most celebrated television writer in the UK, if not the world. His work on the first four series of Doctor Who propelled him to the lofty heights of head writer in 2010, and he’s the brains behind that show with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. You know, that other one that a few people here and there watched. But with great power comes great plotholes; Moffat’s not only one of the most loved men to write the Doctor, he also has his fair share of critics who claim his storylines don’t make sense. Well, if Steven won’t give us the answers, I will. ‘Asylum of the Daleks’ was a divisive episode for Moffat and Who alike; on the one hand, the heartbreaking Oswin story introduced Jenna-Louise Coleman brilliantly, but on the other, there was so much discontinuity with everyone’s favourite foes. Clearly though, the Dalek Prime Minister was lying. We are currently seeking Doctor Who contributors on WhatCulture. You Might Also Like...

40 Must-See Photos From The Past The phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words” was coined by American newspaper editor Arthur Brisbane in 1911. It’s a simple notion that applies to many aspects of our lives, but especially to historical photography. Sometimes, one simple picture can tell you more about history than any story you might read or any document you might analyze. These photographs all tell stories about the historical figures or events that they represent. Perhaps the wars, poverty, fights for freedom and little miracles of the past have lessons for us that we can use today?

wind-up paper butterflies are my fave (guest post from amelia) I had a baby so I’ve invited some fave guests to take over for me while I spend time with the little guy. Today’s post is from super crafter and cute mom, Amelia of The Homebook. Growing up, I had an aunt who lived in Canada. Every year for my birthday she’d send me a card and a fancy little gift. I made my butterflies into Monarchs, but you could use different materials to create any sort of colorful butterfly. Materials: You’ll need heavy cardstock, 24 gauge wire, silicone rubber bands (I found mine in the hair aisle at Walgreens) needle-nose pliers, scissors, tape, a paintbrush, a black marker, and a white ink pen. Step 1: Measure and cut your wire. Step 2: Find the center of the longer wire. Step 5: Find the center of the shorter wire, and wrap it around the base of the paintbrush. Step 8: Draw the shape of your wings and cut them out. Step 11: Tape each wing to the body of the butterfly. Thanks for the chance to finally figure out how these darned things are made, Melanie!
