Wassily Kandinsky and Abstract Art
"The deeper the blue becomes, the more strongly it calls man towards the infinite, awakening in him a desire for the pure and, finally, for the supernatural… The brighter it becomes, the more it loses its sound, until it turns into silent stillness and becomes white." ~ Wassily Kandinsky (via Brainy Quotes)
I've wanted to write about Kandinsky for awhile now because he's considered the father of abstract painting. Recently, I saw some of his work at the Art Gallery of Ontario, in an exhibit titled The Great Upheaval: Masterpieces from the Guggenheim Collection (1910 – 1918).
"The Great Upheaval spotlighted the dynamism of this fertile period — as artists hurtled toward abstraction and the ultimate "great upheaval" of a catastrophic war — while presenting some of the foundational modern masterpieces that shaped the art of future generations." ~ The Art Gallery of Ontario
I believe he has much to teach us about the purpose of creative expression, the power of colour and design, and the importance of the emotional aspects of art.
Who Was Kandinsky?
Wassily Kandinsky (1866 – 1944) was born in Russia and studied law and economics in Moscow. He didn't begin painting until the age of 30. After studying and teaching art in Germany, Kandinsky moved to France in 1933, where he produced much of his well-known pieces, and lived there until his death in 1944.

The Purpose of Art
"The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul." ~ Wassily Kandinsky (via Brainy Quotes)
Kandinsky saw art as a pointing towards the spiritual or universal. He believed that everyone had a spiritual longing and that this could be expressed through art.
The Power of Colour and Design
"Color is a power which directly influences the soul." ~ Wassily Kandinsky (via Brainy Quotes)
Kandinsky was not only an artist, he wrote extensively about art theory, especially colour and design.
"Wassily Kandinsky – Points – Google Art Project". Via Wikipedia.
"Of all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know how to draw well, that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for color, and that you be a true poet. This last is essential." via Art Quotes
The Emotional Aspects of Art
"Every work of art is the child of its age and, in many cases, the mother of our emotions."
Kandinsky often interpreted art through emotion. Emotions give meaning and they can be expressed through colour and design.

What do Abstract Expressionism and Graffiti have in common?
But, like painting, it is an art form that is not necessarily understood, but felt. Abstract photography can teach us to tap into the emotional aspects of our work, which can be carried over into all of our images. Composition is as important here as it is in painting.
Going Abstract, a four week online workshop will begin November 3rd. Learn more here.
David duChemin's book, The Visual Imagination, is another helpful resource for abstract photography.

Join hockey pool, Nhl team rosters, join now and pick your team, only sign up if your willing to stay all year long.]]>
There is too much against the city of Hamilton to have a team in Hamilton. As for Winnipeg, Bettman has stated it could be possible again, because he is realizing the potential hockey fan density of the city is a lot greater than many other markets. If Bettman goes with Kansas City over Winnipeg to take the Predators, it isn't because he hates Canada, but because Kansas City is a fresh environment with a beautiful new arena that can hold a huge capacity. It'll also immediately create a rivalry with the St. Louis Blues. If he picks Las Vegas, its because all Sports in North America are considering Las Vegas, but are afraid to be the first.
Winnipeg is likely Top Three for the next hockey franchise. However, even Winnipeg needs a lot of work to attain it.]]>

Louisville, KY (Sports Network) - Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner I'll Have Another is among the nominees for the third annual Secretariat 'Vox Populi' Award.
The Secretariat 'Vox Populi,' or "Voice of the People," Award is given to a horse "whose popularity and racing excellence best resounded with the American public and gained recognition for thoroughbred racing."
Penny Chenery, who owned and raced 1973 Triple Crown winner and two-time Horse of the Year Secretariat, created the award two years ago.
Joining I'll Have Another as nominees are Frankel, Europe's undefeated Cartier Horse of the Year; Royal Delta, who captured a second consecutive Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic in November; Shanghai Bobby, the Breeders' Cup Juvenile champ who finished the year undefeated in five starts and Wise Dan, winner of the Breeders' Cup Mile. .
"This year's contest will be especially interesting because our committee and our fans will be choosing our winner from such a variety of contenders, each with a unique background and career path," Mrs. Chenery said. "Recognizing excellence in performance and individual contribution to racing ideally transcends our differences and unites us in the goal of furthering the sport."
The award winner will be determined through online voting as well as consensus from the 'Vox Populi' Committee and input from Mrs. Chenery. Voting online continues through Sunday, Dec. 23 and the award presentation to be held on Saturday, Dec. 29 at Santa Anita Park.
Zenyatta received the first Secretariat 'Vox Populi' Award in 2010 and last year's recipient was Rapid Redux, who retired with 22 consecutive wins.

Italian Restaurant Rec in Calgary?
Hello all! I'm pretty new to the board, but I was wondering if anyone would have a good reccomendation for Italian food. It's for a family gathering, so ambience is a factor. I was hoping for something mid-priced (no Capo's here sadly...). We were originally going to La Brezza, but they're booked out for the evening.
Many thanks!
For family dining - I would definately reccomend - Buon Giorno Ristorante Italiano
823 17th Avenue SW.
re: formerlyfingers
Some girlfriends and I would like to dress up and go out for dinner next weekend. Would we be out of place at Da Guido? Our attire will be closer to "Sunday best/afternoon wedding reception" than "prom."
re: aktivistin
You will be fine. Da Guido doesn't really have a dress code per se, but I wore jeans and a sweater once and felt out of place. The decor is chandeliers and ornate furniture.
I had lunch at La Vita e Bella on Friday and was quite pleased with it. It's a small place, with excellent food and pleasant service. The veal cannelloni that I had was delicious and our waitress was a dead ringer for Olive Snook.
La Vita e Bella
401 12 Av SE, Calgary, AB T2G 1A5, CA
re: timuruski
La Vita e Bella is pretty good and quite reasonably priced. Buon Giorno is my favourite mid-range italian, I go there lots. If you want to stay north of the river, La Villa Firenze is close to and in a cute little house like La Brezza. It was pretty good, but it's been a few years since I've been.
It sounds like you would love Il Gallo Nero - A nice combination of attentive service, wonderful food and a lovely (but not ornate) atmosphere. It is on 17th Ave (old Alberta Wood Products location) west of the Stampede grounds. We had a memorable meal there in January with friends. It is recommended on some previous boards as well. The atmosphere and food are more upscale than either Il Centro or Buon Giorno - (but we like these too for an informal family meal).
re: canuckmum
i would say il gallo nero is priced more in the high end than mid-range for italian food. i had dinner there last christmas, and while competent, i've had better italian meals for less money elsewhere. My date's appetizer had a peculiar metallic taste to it, and i didn't much care for the TVs above the bar, as far as atmosphere goes... Sugo, which is similarly priced, does a much better job. Villa Firenze when i was there last (a year and a bit?) was much cheaper for about the same quality food and service (less the metallic tasting appy).
I was about a heart beat away from making reservations at Da Guido, when another family member (the one who said he wanted italian!) made reservations at Forbidden City instead. So...my thoughts as follows...(be forewarned!)
We ordered the six person set dinner, and started with a cold cut like platter. It was beef, duck's feet and chicken. Pretty good, everything was fairly fresh, but a tiny bit over salted. Scallop soup was next, again, slightly over salted, which seems to be the running theme throughout the night. A spinich like vegetable dish (I never know the English equivalent...) was the best of the night - tender and fresh, really felt like they put some effort into that dish. An egg/shrimp dish was really good too...the egg is made to taste like crab. Pretty good overall, although I think I've had better from Silver Dragon and the much missed Shan Tung.

The sun danced, the wind caressed. The Monterey Bay hotel doors were wide open. Oh, the relaxation. Oh, the pssssssttttttt.
Beware of nature's bounty polluted by a scented air-freshener. In the land of no-smoking, where salt air cleanses the lungs, smell-merchants still get the final say over what's in the air.
Christmas trees are coming. The spray-painted, the forest-moldy, the chemically preserved. And the scented magazine ads and come-hither direct mailers are multiplying.
Hospitals are memory-makers. So I had to pause when I read that New York State is paying $360 million to close or merge 23 hospitals and seven nursing homes, to reduce excess beds.
At least I can move ahead -- the doc said I could take my braced, bum knee out to the driving range and roll back the clock to pre-dislocation.
Some news items sure to get blood boiling or words flying.
Illegal immigrants qualify for emergency medical coverage. However, the federal government has now told New York State that it won't pay the federal share of the costs for those who need chemotherapy. Thus, the New York Times reported, the feds will subsidize a breast screening for poor undocumented women, but won't pay for their treatment.
List-making, it's a life preserver for those suffering from CRS ("can't remember stuff"). Lists are especially helpful in health care. However, here are high and low points.
I'm on a bunch of really nifty listserves. One comes from kaisernetwork.org , a product of the Kaiser Family Foundation. Anybody can subscribe. The listserve is a digest, with links, of the day's key health care developments in Washington and as cited by newspapers elsewhere.
Here's a sampling of the headlines from the Kaiser Daily Health Policy Report of Sept. 21, 2006:

Review of Crayola My First Character Markers
Character Options Cyberman
Advantages: excellent quality, good for play, looks as it should
Disadvantages: none for me
...My son is a massive fan of Doctor Who and has been for a few years now and so he has quite a lot of Doctor Who themed toys including some figures. I tend to add to these figures as and when I see them and a couple of years ago now I spotted the Character Options Cyberman toy in B&M bargains for around £3.99 and thought it was a great price and snapped it up. This is my review of the toy...

Sarah: hilarious to open my son's door this morning and see him dancing, naked, to the sounds of his singing Elmo doll
Zac: It was very funny. I was also impressed by his ability to get Talking Elmo to do the dance song over and over again: it's the first one in the sequence when you press the belly button. So Quinn would play the song, then turn Elmo off, then on (the switch isn't easy to operate, either), then press the belly button and get the song again. He was quite methodical about it.

As a drummer and a mic sales guy I have to rant about a recording I just did. 6pc drum set with (2) LCT340 for overheads (stereo) and a 640REX kick mic in a 22' kick with Remo Powerstroke 4 heads. Result= UNREAL! REALLY impressed! The kick mic was sick. I have used 98% of the kick mics on the market and this was sick. I used a blend of the dynamic (80%) and 20% condenser. Punch with attack with minimal EQ'ing. The overheads were clean with zero noise. I rolled off the low end at 40Hz. The snare popped out of the mic just great. I'm really, really impressed with the Lewitt line. The 640REX is THE kick mic! - Mics At Chuck's

Speaking before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee policy conference in Washington, Pelosi said Israel is on the front line in the fight against the proliferation of nuclear weapons and the effort to prevent Iran from acquiring them.
"Sanctions that are far-reaching and tough demonstrate to Iranian leaders that their behavior is recognized as a threat … not just to their neighbors in the region, but by the world, and that the international community is prepared to confront that behavior with all of the diplomatic tools at its disposal," said Pelosi.

Casey Novak
Diane Neal gives her notice to Law & Order: SVU
Like I said, I'm not happy about this one. Unlike so many of the faces and forms that come in and out of the L&O universe, Diane Neal stuck out. And I mean that in a good way. She had a presence and a passion, which was not only recognizable amid the many others who seem interchangeable, it was crucial to match fire with Christopher Meloni, Mariska Hargitay and the other SVU cast.
Law and Order: SVU - Influence (finale)
(S07E22) Well, here we are at the end of the seventh season of SVU and we delve into familiar territory; teenage sexual activity. We also focus one more time on Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) who has a good portion of screen time this episode (although A.D.A. Casey Novak (Diane Neal) has some decent screen time as well).
Folks, I'm sorry. I been hitting the wall with this show for the past few episodes, and actually the entire season. I've just felt that most of the focus has been on Benson and Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) this season in order to flesh out their characters a bit. As I've mentioned previously there hasn't been nearly as much of Detectives Munch (Richard Belzer) and Tutuola (Ice-T) this season. Heck, even Captain Cragen (Dann Florek) had some focus episodes in the past. No, this season has been about Stabler and Benson, whether together or solo, and I'm kind of burnt out. That may be the reason that I wasn't too impressed with the episode.

Friday Letter
Homecoming week was a great success for the school district due in large part to our Pep Club advisor, Megan Coryell. Mrs. Coryell did a great job of organizing a powder puff football game and bonfire on Thursday night to start the Homecoming festivities. On Friday, the elementary students joined the junior-senior high school for a pep rally on the football field and then returned to the elementary playground for the parade. The floats completed by each class were very good and stayed in line with the theme for the week. Many community members and parents attended the parade, and the senior athletes completed the football toss up Main Street.
The high school volleyball teams started play at 1:30 on Friday afternoon against Wolf Point. All three volleyball teams won handily in front of a great crowd. The football team took the field against Wolf Point at 6:00. The team played well and earned their first victory of the year in front of ardent Panther fans. The people attending the football game were also treated to several pyrotechnic displays set off by John Perrella. It really was a night to remember. We aren't sure if we will be able to have a Homecoming with the volleyball and football games on the same day in future years, as it will require another school sending their volleyball team for an afternoon game. Again, it was a great week and we certainly want to thank everyone that participated and helped in any way.
School Project
The Board of Trustees has advertised for an Owner's Representative to work on the district's behalf while building the new elementary and completing work at the junior senior high. The RFQ's, Request for Qualifications, must be completed and in the District Office by 5:00 PM on Friday, October 10. The Trustees will review the RFQs at 6:00 on Monday, October 13, prior to the regular monthly meeting. At this time, the Trustees will make a decision on interviews and will set a date and time for those interviews.
The Board of Trustees has also advertised for Architect Firms for the school projects. These RFQs are due on Friday, October 17th at 5:00 PM in the District Office. The Trustees will then set a meeting to review the Architect qualifications and decide which firms to interview. The Trustees can hire a firm without interviewing if they choose. If the Trustees are comfortable hiring a firm without interviews, they can begin negotiations with the selected firm immediately. Until these two items are complete, final design on both projects are on hold.
At a special meeting of the Trustees on Monday, September 22nd, a timeline was established for selling the bonds. The Trustees met with Bridget Ekstrom from DA Davidson who will be the lead in selling the school bonds. Interest rates, actuarial timelines, and credit ratings for the school district were all discussed. Since the meeting, the District has been assistingDA Davidson and Dorsey Whitney in putting together the point of sale and bonding rating document. The bonds for the projects are schedule to sell between November 19 and November 25. Individuals will be able to purchase the bonds in increments of $5000.

Overview of the Power Management Framework
Starting with Windows 8, the run-time power management framework (PoFx) supports power and clock management at the component (or subdevice) level. A device driver registers with PoFx to independently manage power usage in the individual components in a device.
PoFx provides the fine-grained control necessary to extend the time that a Windows portable computer, tablet PC, smart phone, or other mobile device can run on a battery charge. PoFx reduces power usage in a way that maintains the appearance of a mobile device that is always on and always connected.
PoFx extends but does not replace the power management support in earlier versions of Windows. Earlier versions of Windows support power management at the device level, but do not provide mechanisms to independently manage the power supplied to the individual components in a device. Device-level power management enables a driver to support D-states (for example, D0 is the fully on state) in a device. Component-level power management enables a driver to support F-states (for example, F0 is the fully on state) in a component in a device. In the absence of operating system support for component-level power management, some drivers can implement custom power controls for components, but these controls typically add complexity to drivers, and might be feasible only if component power settings are controlled within the device.
PoFx provides a device driver interface (DDI) through which a driver can supply status and capabilities information about the components in a device. This information includes the current activity level of each component, the time required by the component to change from one power state to another, and the amount of latency that can be tolerated by clients of the device when the component wakes from a low-power state. In addition, PoFx obtains system-wide information about the power and clock domains to which the component belongs. (The devices in a particular power domain share a common power rail; the devices in a particular clock domain share a common clock signal.)
Based on this information, PoFx makes intelligent decisions about when a component should enter a low-power state and which low-power state to enter. The decision process involves information from other components and other devices, and takes into account the dependencies between the devices and components in the various power and clock domains.
For more information, see Component-Level Power Management.

Okay, The White House Speech Is ON
I am completely stunned and amazed, but this is apparently happening!
I am giving a short speech about LGBTQ and PWD characters in the media at the White House on Thursday. I haven't had much notice and I spent a full day imagining that it had to be a prank or a terrible mistake, but it is actually going to happen.
I want to thank the literally hundreds of people in those groups who have written to offer support. I wish I could express my appreciation in person. I know I am lucky to have the readership I do. It's the thing I still can't believe about this job.
Anyway, I am not an authority on these topics and I think true activists are heroic but are working on a much higher level than I am, so I thought my speech would be about something I actually DO know a little bit about, which would be how things have changed for representation in the media, specifically comics. The progress we have seen, and of course, the long distance we have to go.
So I am posting this thread, for people who are lgbtq or pwd who have a thought they would like me to keep in mind. Anything you would say if you had the chance at an event like this. I can't guarantee it will be included, but I want to be a messenger rather than a fake 'expert,' if that makes sense.
I have said this many times. The only reason I know ANYTHING about these topics is because people like you right here on Tumblr were kind and patient enough to share your world with me a little bit and I hope to use this opportunity to pay you back.
Thank you.
Your thoughts are MOST WELCOME.

Re:Change Jobs (275 comments)
I 100% agree. It should take all of five minutes to find a new job, and jumping jobs is a great way to get more money.
Not Very Prepared (191 comments)
I live in New Mexico, and we don't have many earthquakes, or tall buildings, so I am not prepared at all.
Three Divisions of Computer Science (637 comments)
The department I go my masters in computer science from divided the discipline into three chunks:
I think this is a good way to divide computer science.
It sounds like your Java / C question involves mostly languages, and a little bit about systems (since Java programmers do not need to have a fundamental understanding of memory works at a system's level.)
I don't think this question really addresses the underlying issue - what is computer science? To me, I tell people that my formal education is closer to applied mathematics than what I do on a day to day basis. I also like to humorously use the derogatory term "code monkey" to people that have learned everything through the "languages" chunk above. A lot of times when I've worked with these people, they haven't even really studied languages (Why did the language designers make the choice that they did? What does the formal language specification say the language should do in this case? How is this language related to earlier languages?)
Again, about 90% of what I do on a daily basis could be considered "code monkey" level. It's when a customer has a REALLY difficult math problem that my formal education comes into play, and for giving people confidence in me.
For your direct question, I'd study the book Computer Architecture, Fifth Edition: A Quantitative Approach (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Architecture and Design)
That's what I used, and it helped me understand a ton of memory management. Then again, my undergrad curriculum was based on C....

Shoot Them? (74 comments)
Why not shoot the geese? The article didn't say that they were protected, endangered, or otherwise not-shootable. Is the section of Ottaway the geese are polluting not safe for discharging firearms?
In New Mexico, we have a number of animals that require culling (due to the elimination of top level predators) and the way New Mexico Game and Fish solves the problem is by issuing hunting licenses. This seems to work pretty well for us.
Re:Have you ever heard the phrase "off-site backup (245 comments)
My bank allows more than one person to open my safety deposit box, if I tell them who I want to be on the access list. It's a good idea to have people you trust be able to open your safety deposit box.
Honestly, I think this entire post makes me feel a bit sad for the poster. I drink beer with my personal bankers, and the tellers at the bank know my name. If I had no ID for a little while, I'd still be able to do ALL of my banking - online and in person. About all I'd lose would be ATM access if I lost my ATM card, and the bank would probably give me a new one without an ID after I told them my crazy story. I keep my passport at my house, and my driver's license on me usually. Which reminds me, I keep my *expired* passport at my house...
If no one knows who this poster is without his ID, I think that is the problem. The problem isn't that he (doubtful it's a she) needs an offsite backup plan. It's probably that they should be making human connections with people that could be close with them in their life, or at least that their priorities are skewed towards making offsite backup plans. My neighbors could identify me, my business associates could, all my family could, my ex-girlfriends could. If someone horrible happened and I needed help for a few weeks, all of them would help me out (even some of the ex-girlfriends!) Having a social support network is (should be?) way more important than having an offsite backup scheme. However, this is slashdot...
Re:It ONLY costs NNNNN, but could have saved Y liv (461 comments)
Good point. I didn't see how much it was worth to find a dead American, Malaysian, or a dead airplane either...
It ONLY costs NNNNN, but could have saved Y lives. (461 comments)
I think an American is now only worth 6.9 million (according to Fox News...)
I couldn't find how much a Malasian life was worth. I think both of these numbers, the mix of people on the plane, and the probability of the crash, are what you'd need to compute if it's "worth" it.
If you think it's "worth" it, then install those devices in airplanes you own. Personally, I'd rather not have to pay more for tickets, or taxes, to have them installed in every plane, flying everywhere, in the world.
Re:Lack of Economic Knowledge Demonstrated By Ques (491 comments)
Bamn, I just saw this earlier comment which stated the same thing, but with better citations.
Lack of Economic Knowledge Demonstrated By Questio (491 comments)
There are elastic, and inelastic, demand curves. Normally, things purchased (like STEM labor) are never truly inelastic. The only inelastic example I can come up with would be a lifesaving medicine. If a medicine were 100% guaranteed to save your life, you would probably pay (almost any) economic cost. Even then, I don't think most people would pay ANY cost. This is also true over different time periods - gasoline may appear inelastic over the short term, but over the long term people make substitutions (public transit, electric vehicles, flex fuel...) to deal with rising costs.
Any 'shortage' or 'surplus' is ONLY AT A SPECIFIC PRICE POINT (and more specifically, also for a specific time period.) There are not ever really any such things are shortages or surpluses - just buyers and sellers that will not change their perspective on what something "should" cost. If there is a shortage, the price will go up until people stop wanting to buy. If there is a surplus, the price will go down until everything is bought or production is no longer profitable. No one ever talks about the surplus of worthless college degrees - the price employers pay for them simply goes down until it is equal to unskilled labor. The only reason these terms even exist in economics is because of externalities (governments restricting the input of some good, or the output of another.)
I took about a year of college economics. The fact that I constantly hear about shortages of things is crazy to me, jack the price (increase profit) and less buyers will be interested in purchasing. There will be no shortage. If there is a surplus, drop the price until there is no profit, then stop production. That takes care of the surplus.
Re:12-hour days (717 comments)
I did as a lumberjack. This required about 10,000+ dietary calories per day though... Chopping down trees, moving wood, and burning doesn't require anywhere near the same order of mental strength as programming. At first I could only do the work for 2-3 hours a day, but my body became stronger and by the end of the summer I was able to do 15 hour days, and I liked working long and hard. My dad received a grant from the forest service to put in fire breaks the summer before I went to college. This was an effort to encourage private landowners to create firebreaks so that the Gila National forest could be left to burn during a fire, without as much pressure on the Forest Service to stop it because private property was threatened. His land borders the Gila on three sides.
For programming (and other mental jobs), I 100% agree with you based on my experience. I try and do about 20 hours a week of actual coding, 10-20 hours of business development and sales, and then about 10-20 hours per week of construction. That helps me keep my balance. Thankfully, I am self employed as a software developer and have rental property. The most I was ever actually able to code at a "job" was about 30 hours a week - the other 10-15 were usually spent in meetings, design, talking with customers and helping other people work through their problems (also meetings, but super informal.)
I think people are different. With the right amount of physical training, my body could handle 12 hour days at lumberjacking at 19 years old. Maybe I could do that again at 30, but I'm not sure. Maybe someone else would be very happy programming at their job for 60 hours a week. One of my buddies programs 40 for his job, and then does at least another 20 on his personal projects. He might take a 60 hour per week deal if his work offered him 1.5-2.0x his current salary, and be totally happy. I'm not sure, people are different.
Historical Perspective...? (717 comments)
Didn't this use to be standard?
I mean, this author is generalizing from his experiences at a graphic design company to the entire American workforce. Does anyone else see a problem with this? Historically, everyone used to work a ton on a farm or in manufacturing. Maybe it makes sense for people to work a ton on a farm, or in (industrializing, pre-robot) manufacturing. Maybe it doesn't make sense for people to work a ton at paper-leaf.com.
I don't think it's possible to generalize accurately. I'm totally happy, and productive, working 60 hour weeks split between programming and construction projects.

Day After (197 comments)
My girlfriend and I decided to celebrate on the day after Valentine's Day. That should help me save on presents, and not to be in a crazy mad restaurant rush. We're going to go out for lunch. We talked about our plans and she wanted to have a nice date, and something romantic (flowers, a card...) and thought scheduling it afterwards would be a great way to save on money and congestion.

So There Is a Justifiable Reason To Reject Someone (465 comments)
Many of these comments place H1B's as a target of their wrath. I have never experienced this to be the case, but I also don't like to go around blaming immigrants for problems I created for myself. I have seen (and benefited from!) a job posting being specifically opened for me, exactly, to fulfill some corporate requirements.
I think the people that bash H1B's and internal posts are on to something. These super specific requirements are to reject someone (Americans & external applications described above.) I disagree that this tends to be on the basis of citizenship, but I'm sure that does happen. What I saw was super specific requirements used for was a way to reject someone you didn't really want to work with, because they were basically unpleasant, but probably technically competent. I imagine that this actually classification fits into a large portion of the slashdot community, with the negativity I read in the majority of comments on pretty much every post. At the places I worked as an employee, it was a lot "easier" (in terms of not getting sued, and rejecting someone) to possibly allow them to interview if they seemed technical competent, and then reject them based on an unrealistic, wish-list of skills, as opposed to rejecting them because they kept complaining, or for some other (politically incorrect/illegal/lawsuit-prone) reason.
It is very, very, VERY difficult to fire someone in the United States. Even in "right to work" states, employers have a lot of fear about lawsuits and other employment related issues. I took the independent contractor route, and it is BY FAR easier for me to score clients than it any of the multi-phase, tons of telephone, and in-person, interviews required to be an employee. Wouldn't you want to be extra careful on the hiring side, if the firing side is going to be difficult? As a contractor, if someone doesn't like me, I'm gone in an instant! Between this, and being able to ramp-up / ramp-down my time, it's a way more flexible agreement than permanent employment, and I find marketing myself as a contractor to be much more pleasant than the four or five times I marketed myself as a technical employee.
I hope you find this useful, entertaining, and not too offensive.

Police investigate report of shots fired in central Norman
Updated On: Mar 06 2013 07:11:33 PM CST
Police in Norman are investigating a report of shots fired in the central part of the city.
Officers said they believe two people went to a home in the 600 block of South Flood Avenue to inquire about an item advertised online.
Police said that item was a microphone, and they allegedly took it without paying, prompting the resident to shoot at them as they drove away, police said.
Police are searching the area to find out if anybody was shot.

Scott Simpson's original Lunchbox Laboratory was an experiment in excess, the product of a brilliant madness from an inspired chef with an indie streak a mile wide. Many who made regular pilgrimages to that funky Ballard shack for his outrageously good, magnificently proportioned burgers wondered how he could sustain the business model. And yet it has outlived its founder.
Shortly before his sudden death a little more than a year ago, Simpson partnered with restaurateur John Schmidt, whose collection of Neighborhood Grills stretches from Eastlake to Green Lake to Lake Forest Park to Bellevue. Together they streamlined the concept and reopened a shiny new Lunchbox Laboratory in sleek, modern digs near South Lake Union in January 2011. Clearly a nascent chain, a second store opened in Bellevue earlier this year.
Like the original, big is the operative word at this high-energy burger joint and bar in the Elements complex. As one staffer said, "We have big burgers, big salads and big waiters." The kitchen's over-the-top tendencies have been tamed somewhat for the masses, but the cheeky attitude is intact and the burgers and shakes are very good.
The best seller is the "Burger of the Gods." Gooey with Gorgonzola, slippery with candied balsamic onions, it was Simpson's favorite and one of mine, too. The prototype contained a mix of rib eye, prime rib and grass-fed sirloin. Here the patty is American Kobe-style beef, which tastes a little leaner but still has plenty of character. Proportionately it seems less grandiose than the original, but it remains a towering, double-fistful of deliciousness.
I'm also a fan of the "dork" burger, a savory duck-and-pork patty under creamy Jack cheese, caramelized "Lunchbox" onions and garlic mayo. When the waitress asked, "Do you want bacon with that?," I recklessly answered yes, and didn't regret the two dollars extra for a pile of thick, honey-cured rashers.
Daily specials are dubbed "Experiments." The "Sorority Major" was a robust lamb patty elegantly adorned with mild goat cheese, onions and garlic-truffle mayo. "The Toasted Turkey" wasn't a burger at all. Cubes of roasted turkey breast were smothered in havarti and toasted onion mayo. Like all the sandwiches here, it was stacked on an excellent buttered and toasted Kaiser bun from Essential Bakery.
No need to stick with their combos; you can build your own or sub a bean patty for meat on any sandwich. Prices average $14, not cheap for a burger, but worth it for quality meats, freshly ground. Plus it includes your choice of potato.
Skip the dry potato salad. Order the tots only if you miss the school cafeteria. Thick, house-made chips are best when they are warm (a 50-50 chance in my experience), but even then they were under-seasoned — easily remedied by rummaging through several shakers of flavored salts in a caddie at each table.
Have the skinny fries, or consider paying 50 cents extra for rangy sweet-potato fries and lavish them with cinnamon salt before dipping them into sweet chili mayo. For $2 more, substitute "Cheddar American Mac." The ruffled noodles capture a sweet, cheddar-ish sauce that does a good imitation of Velveeta.
Appetizers like mini corn dogs, pork rinds and "Buff Pops" (soggy cream cheese-jalapeño fritters riding a searing chili pepper sauce) seem targeted to those who are (or are planning to get) seriously wrecked. To that end, the bar features flavored rums and vodkas, and the menu touts Kool-Aid cocktails and booze-spiked shakes. The shakes are dense and luxurious indulgences even unadulterated.
I'm guessing few come here for salads. They, too, are immense. The Lunchboxer easily contains a pound of leaf lettuce tossed liberally with Gorgonzola dressing and well-hidden beneath a thicket of diced turkey, ham and tomato, wedges of hard-cooked egg and purple coils of candied balsamic onions.
Service is cheerful and swift. The comic-book décor runs to bright colors, bowling pins and lunchboxes galore. Windows offer a glimpse of mountains, or ironically, the gym across the courtyard. Customers come in jeans or sport jackets; in couples and in packs; some with youngsters and grandparents in tow. No one leaves hungry.
