text:
The product standard only contains minimum requirements. Attention is drawn to the fact that appliance specifications might contain requirements additional to or deviating from those specified in the relevant product standards.
Please be aware that the specifications nominal value used in the German part of the Schurter catalogue and the data sheets, is synonymous with rated value.
The difference between these two values is a pure matter of definition. In order to avoid any unnecessary complications we will continue to use the specifications nominal value.
CE marking is the only marking which indicates that a product conforms to the relevant EU-directive.
This means that the CE-mark is no quality or standard conformity mark but only an administration mark.
SCHURTER products are covered by the low voltage directives 2006/95/EEC. Those are valid for equipment and appliances with rated voltage values between AC 50 V to AC 1000 V as well as DC 75 V to DC 1500 V.
The CE marking of SCHURTER parts will be found on the label of the smallest packing unit. On request we will submitt a CE conformity statement for each component. CE conformity statements and approvals can also be retrieved from the internet under www.schurter.com.
National testing institutions are testing according to national and international standards or other generally recognized rules of technology. Their certification/approval-marks confirm the observance of the safety requirements which electric appliances must fulfil.
National approvals
In addition to the combined UL/CSA approvals, most of the SCHURTER components are also approved by one of the European certification bodies like VDE (Germany), Electrosuisse (Switzerland) or SEMKO (Sweden). The safety testing of all these European certification bodies are based on the commen European safety standards. With the harmonisation effort in Europe, the different national European certification bodies have lost their importance and SCHURTER has decided to maintain only one European approval (e.g. VDE, SEV or SEMKO) in future. The others will not be renewed once they have expired.
Because UL and CSA are not members of the CENELEC, the standards of UL and CSA are not harmonised yet with the European standards. However, UL and CSA are trying to harmonize their standards with each other. Where possible, SCHURTER will apply for the combined cULus or cURus approval.
Further to development in Asia, SCHURTER has obtained national approvals from China, Japan and Korea.
Information about approvals
SCHURTER products are certified according to EN / IEC standards and carry country specific approvals in Europe.
During the last few years European countries made much effort to reduce their approval marks to one generally accepted mark. The ENEC approval mark replaces (wherever possible) the previous approval mark. The ENEC mark is offered by all national certification bodies that signed for the European certification agreement (CCA)*.
SCHURTER decided to reduce the variety of European approval marks. For new approbations of SCHURTER parts only the ENEC will be mentioned in the future:
Approvals for the US and Canada are according to the UL and CSA standards:
As UL and CSA are not a member of CENELEC these two are not according to the European approval marks. Wherever possible SCHURTER want to acquire the combined cULus approval mark:
Since Aug. 1st. 2003 the Chinese approval mark is required for a lot of products to import to China. SCHURTER strives to get the approvals for the concerned products.
SCHURTER will check if a voluntary CQC registration can be done when a product does not apply with a Chinese standard.

Why Hadoop?
Hadoop can be contagious. It's implementation in one organization can lead to another one elsewhere. Thanks to Hadoop being robust and cost-effective, handling humongous data seems much easier now. The ability to include HIVE in an EMR workflow is yet another awesome point. It's incredibly easy to boot up a cluster, install HIVE, and be doing simple SQL analytics in no time. Let's take a look at why Hadoop can be so incredible.
Key features that answer – Why Hadoop?
1. Flexible:
As it is a known fact that only 20% of data in organizations is structured, and the rest is all unstructured, it is very crucial to manage unstructured data which goes unattended. Hadoop manages different types of Big Data, whether structured or unstructured, encoded or formatted, or any other type of data and makes it useful for decision making process. Moreover, Hadoop is simple, relevant and schema-less! Though Hadoop generally supports Java Programming, any programming language can be used in Hadoop with the help of the MapReduce technique. Though Hadoop works best on Windows and Linux, it can also work on other operating systems like BSD and OS X.
2. Scalable
Hadoop is a scalable platform, in the sense that new nodes can be easily added in the system as and when required without altering the data formats, how data is loaded, how programs are written, or even without modifying the existing applications. Hadoop is an open source platform and runs on industry-standard hardware. Moreover, Hadoop is also fault tolerant – this means, even if a node gets lost or goes out of service, the system automatically reallocates work to another location of the data and continues processing as if nothing had happened!
3. Building more efficient data economy:
Hadoop has revolutionized the processing and analysis of big data world across. Till now, organizations were worrying about how to manage the non-stop data overflowing in their systems. Hadoop is more like a "Dam", which is harnessing the flow of unlimited amount of data and generating a lot of power in the form of relevant information. Hadoop has changed the economics of storing and evaluating data entirely!
4. Robust Ecosystem:
Hadoop has a very robust and a rich ecosystem that is well suited to meet the analytical needs of developers, web start-ups and other organizations. Hadoop Ecosystem consists of various related projects such as MapReduce, Hive, HBase, Zookeeper, HCatalog, Apache Pig, which make Hadoop very competent to deliver a broad spectrum of services.
5. Hadoop is getting more "Real-Time"!
Did you ever wonder how to stream information into a cluster and analyze it in real time? Hadoop has the answer for it. Yes, Hadoop's competencies are getting more and more real-time. Hadoop also provides a standard approach to a wide set of APIs for big data analytics comprising MapReduce, query languages and database access, and so on.
6. Cost Effective:
Loaded with such great features, the icing on the cake is that Hadoop generates cost benefits by bringing massively parallel computing to commodity servers, resulting in a substantial reduction in the cost per terabyte of storage, which in turn makes it reasonable to model all your data. The basic idea behind Hadoop is to perform cost-effective data analysis present across world wide web!
7. Upcoming Technologies using Hadoop:
With reinforcing its capabilities, Hadoop is leading to phenomenal technical advancements. For instance, HBase will soon become a vital Platform for Blob Stores (Binary Large Objects) and for Lightweight OLTP (Online Transaction Processing). Hadoop has also begun serving as a strong foundation for new-school graph and NoSQL databases, and better versions of relational databases.
8. Hadoop is getting cloudy!
Hadoop is getting cloudier! In fact, cloud computing and Hadoop are synchronizing in several organizations to manage Big Data. Hadoop will become one of the most required apps for cloud computing. This is evident from the number of Hadoop clusters offered by cloud vendors in various businesses. Thus, Hadoop will reside in the cloud soon!
Now you know why Hadoop is gaining so much popularity!
The importance of Hadoop is evident from the fact that there are many global MNCs that are using Hadoop and consider it as an integral part of their functioning. It is a misconception that social media companies alone uses Hadoop. In fact, many other industries now use Hadoop to manage BIG DATA!
Use Cases Of Hadoop
It was Yahoo!Inc. that developed the World's biggest application of Hadoop on February 19, 2008. In fact, if you've heard of 'The Yahoo! Search Webmap', it is a Hadoop application that runs on over 10,000 core Linux cluster and generates data that is now extensively used in each query of Yahoo! Web search.
Facebook, which has over 1.3 billion active users and it is Hadoop that brings respite to Facebook in storing and managing data of such magnitude. Hadoop helps Facebook in keeping track of all the profiles stored in it, along with the related data such as posts, comments, images, videos, and so on.
Linkedin manages over 1 billion personalized recommendations every week. All thanks to Hadoop and its MapReduce and HDFS features!
Hadoop is at its best when it comes to analyzing Big Data. This is why companies like Rackspace uses Hadoop.
Hadoop plays an equally competent role in analyzing huge volumes of data generated by scientifically driven companies like Spadac.com.
Hadoop is a great framework for advertising companies as well. It keeps a good track of the millions of clicks on the ads and how the users are responding to the ads posted by the big Ad agencies!

Pingback: Hadoop 2.0 - Frequently Asked Questions - Edureka.in()
I have 6+ years experience as a core C++ developer. I have learned Java, DBMS, DS, Algorithms, etc. of my own interest. I don't have any "project experience" in these since I cannot control what my project leads decide for the project.
This creates a significant problem in job change since everyone asks for experience, which I cannot have unless I get to work on them! I want to explore other areas besides C++, which I cannot currently do, because of this problem.
Moreover, I cannot even join as a fresher because obviously one cannot just knock off 6+ years from one's resume, without making the recruiter suspicious. Even explicitly telling them to disregard my work experience in C++ and hire me as a Java fresher doesn't impress them.
Will same story repeat if I take this Hadoop training? Obviously, this course is not counted as "work experience", so will employers ask me to come with Hadoop experience (or at least Java and DBMS experience) before I get these Hadoop jobs?

Is Navy laser a game changer?
Tested on San Diego ship, laser weapon heads to Arabian Sea
The technical details are classified, as is the laser's range and how much power it will use.
Klunder said the weapon will run off the existing power supply of surface ships. Chief among those are destroyers and cruisers, which have the capacity to generate 9 megawatts.
As for the laser's range, the Navy's chief futurist said it will be more than enough to defend the ship.
That means the laser would do work now handled by a destroyer's 5-inch gun and close-in weapons system, or CIWS, though the Navy is not saying the laser would replace conventional weapons. But it's those comparisons that make Klunder preach the laser's cost savings.
He said rounds for those weapons cost thousands, compared with $1 a shot for the laser — a major consideration when Pentagon spending is under intense pressure because of sweeping budget cuts known as sequestration.
Militaries around the world have been working on laser weapons since at least the 1970s, Friedman said.
International law prevents using them to literally blind enemy troops, he said. The Air Force has tried to put lasers on aircraft, but the issue always has been power and interruption from weather, dust or water vapor, Friedman said.
The most exciting use of the Navy's laser may be its "dazzle" effect, he said.
"The fact that you can give someone a hard time without killing them might be real valuable," Friedman said. "Because it grossly simplifies your rules of engagement."

Maynard James Keenan recently inked a deal for his biography and he shares his thoughts on what fans should expect.
Tool, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle frontman Maynard James Keenan is adding the release of his memoir to his 2016 projects.
Check out 12 Unforgettable Moments from the Tool, A Perfect Circle + Puscifer vocalist.
You may think Maynard would take on three separate personas for his respective projects, but he goes way further, taking on countless alter egos.
Congrats are in order for Tool / A Perfect Circle / Puscifer frontman Maynard James Keenan, who just became a father again.
What is your favorite song from A Perfect Circle's 'Mer De Noms' album?
There are 50th birthday celebrations and then there's what Maynard James Keenan did this past weekend at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. The two-night residency at the famed outdoor theater will no doubt go down as a great tour de force of rock and metal music.
Tool / A Perfect Circle / Puscifer frontman Maynard James Keenan's birthday was back in April, but the prolific musician celebrated his 50th in grand fashion on May 10 and May 11. Maynard's 'Cinquanta' event was held at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles and the guest of honor performed with both A Perfect Circle and Puscifer during the occasion.
Believe it or not, Maynard James Keenan is celebrating his 50th birthday today (April 17)! The frontman of Tool, A Perfect Circle and Puscifer hasn't lost a step since Tool formed in 1990, and he has gone on to prove himself as one of music's most talented and dynamic vocalists.
It was a hotly contested battle all week long, but Disturbed's 'Stupify' overtook Godsmack's 'Awake' following a late-week rally to emerge victorious in the last Classic Cage Match. The hard rocking single from 2000 featuring Dan Donegan's driving riffs and David Draiman's rhythmically lyrical delivery has now taken two Classic Cage Match battles in hopes of making it to the Classic Cage Match Hall of Fame.

Jason Wu
In fashion, This generation's young talents have become known for their carefully plotted growth and a hesitation to lend out their names. In their midst, however, is Jason Wu, who has involved himself in nearly everything available to him and made embracing unexpected opportunities part of his identity.
The Taiwan native's route has always been unorthodox. While in high school, he designed dolls and was named the creative director of the Integrity Toys brand, giving him the money to start his own line after attending Parsons in New York City. At 26 he became a household name overnight after Michelle Obama selected his crystal-emblazoned gown for the Inaugural Ball.
Three years later, Wu's line of updated, ladylike classics has been lauded for its exquisite detailing and embroidery. It may not be a retail mainstay quite yet, but it is beloved by fashion editors and well-heeled starlets. Wu has also demonstrated considerable range, venturing into shoes, handbags and eyewear. In February a 53-piece Target line hit stores days before Wu showed at New York Fashion Week. He's a brand ambassador for the St. Regis Hotel chain and has done countless collaborations for everything from wedding gowns to kitchen fixtures.
In a day spent with WSJ., Wu switched gears swiftly. Hours were spent making meticulous decisions on the pre-fall, fall and resort collections, each at a different point on the road from sketch to store rack. An award-acceptance speech was written, appearances to promote the Target line were finalized, and a process was put in place for sending out gowns to actresses attending awards shows. All this done on a (nearly) liquid diet. In Wu's world, stopping to eat lunch takes up time he just doesn't have.

OKC Thunder: Kevin Durant says Thunder misses Russell Westbrook
Kevin Durant knew full well what he had in sidekick Russell Westbrook.
Still, that hasn't stopped Westbrook's absence from making Durant's heart grow fonder for his All-Star point guard.
Durant on Monday was asked what he's learned about himself while playing without the injured Westbrook.
"That we need him," Durant said. "We miss him."
Durant entered Game 4 against Memphis averaging 34 points, 10.6 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocked shots in seven games without Westbrook, who recently underwent season-ending knee surgery. But the Thunder was 3-4 in those games.
"Guys have got to step up now," Durant said. "I think I've taken more of a load of scoring and facilitating and rebounding. But of course when you have your All-Star out we miss him. But it's no excuse. We still got to get the job done."
Durant went on to downplay his performance when asked if he's surprised himself at how much he's been able to raise his level of play.
"What have I done? We're down 2-1," Durant said before the game. "In the playoffs, that don't ever really matter. It's about wins and losses. We're down 2-1. I've got to figure out a way to help us out a little more. I always can do more."
For the second straight season, Thunder forward Serge Ibaka was selected to the NBA All-Defensive First Team, the league announced Monday.
Ibaka led the NBA with 3.03 blocks per game this season. With 242 total blocked shots, Ibaka joined Dikembe Mutombo (1994-98) as the only player to lead the league in blocked shots for three straight seasons.
The Thunder averaged a league-best 7.61 blocks this season, the second straight season the team led the league.
Ibaka was joined on the first team by Miami's LeBron James, New York's Tyson Chandler, Chicago's Joakim Noah, Memphis' Tony Allen and Los Angeles Clippers guard Chris Paul.
The Thunder scored 23 fast break points in Game 3 as the team made a concerted effort to get more easy baskets in transition.
In the first two games against the Grizzlies, the Thunder scored just six and seven points, respectively, in transition.
By halftime Monday, the Thunder had eight fast break points.
"We are definitely a transition team," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. "We've been that way all season and we want to continue. I know we're a little different now, but we still want to stay with our core principles. That's attacking when there's opportunities, but also just continue to have good execution in the half-court."
In the first three games against the Grizzlies, forward Nick Collison was whistled for 15 total fouls. He fouled out in 15 minutes in Game 2 and picked up five in 14 minutes in Game 3.
It's a trend that played a role in limiting Collison's minutes going into Game 4 on Monday night.
"I'm not too concerned with the fouls," Collison said. "I want to try to avoid bad fouls. I think certain times when you're trying to make a play the officials will call fouls. So I guess the biggest thing is try to avoid the ones going for a loose ball and things that aren't really helping the team out. I'd love to not be in foul trouble, of course. But I'm not going to change too much on how I'm playing."
Grizzlies assistant coach Barry Hecker left the team during the Western Conference semifinal against the Thunder for what Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said is a "personal matter."
Hollins said after the team's shootaround Monday morning that Hecker's departure is "nothing that's public consumption."
Hecker was with the Grizzlies for their Game 2 win in Oklahoma City but was not with the team in Memphis for their Game 3 win Saturday night. Team officials said only that Hecker is no longer with the Grizzlies.
Hecker had been on Hollins' staff in Memphis the past five seasons.
Hollins told star forward Zach Randolph, who is not known for his defense, that Randolph had made honorable mention on the NBA's all-defense team.
"I did?" Randolph enthusiastically responded, according to Hollins.
No, the coach said, "I'm just kidding."
But three Grizzlies did make the squad. Tony Allen was first team; Marc Gasol and Mike Conley were second team.
"It says we're a good defensive team," Hollins said.
Ironically, Gasol was named the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year, an award voted on by media. Coaches vote for the all-defense team.
"I guess coaches see something different," Hollins said.
Game 6 of the Thunder-Grizzlies series has been scheduled to be played either at 6 p.m. or 7 p.m., the league announced Monday.
If the Chicago-Miami series extends to six games, the Thunder would play Game 6 at 6 p.m. on ESPN. If the Chicago-Miami series does not extend to six games, the Thunder would play Game 6 at 7 p.m.

"In order to avoid a next mistake, one must measure a person by his/her heart and moral compass not by their body and glamorous visage."
"Keep the ones who hurt you in check, cherish the few your heart placed an asterisk for you to keep for life."
"Because a person like myself may know the KEY to a faithful relationship. - You however just keep making duplicates that don't fit to unlock the greatest treasures your heart can receive for the rest of your life."
"It's truly mind boggling to know that my most perfect woman for which my heart desires, is a promiscuous angel lost in our sinful society."
"It takes courage to give someone your heart when you are deeply in love when you know there's always a chance of an indecent fumble."
"Once upon a time my heart was rich in love. Today it is starving for the same warmth and excitement in order to spread the wealth of love onto others alike."
"Shallow is the soul from the blinding eyes of someone who measures beauty by a person's body not by the size of their heart."
"My heart is bigger than my ego. My love for love is greater than a one night stand. Therefore, I rather stay celibate than to sleep with someone so aimlessly and without love!"

Holy cow, I was not expecting to love this book as much as I did. It was fantastic! Here's a bit of a summary (spoiler free):
Memoirs of a Geisha follows young Chiyo as she is sold out of her childhood home and into a life of slavery. Although she is only a child, her pretty face wins her a position as a maid in an okiya, a home in which geisha are trained and which is supported by the earnings of the geisha who live there. (Satsu, Chiyo's less attractive sister, is sold into prostitution.) The plan is for Chiyo to become an apprentice, with the hope that eventually she will be transformed into a beautiful, artistically talented geisha herself.
After a failed escape attempt and a subsequent beating, Chiyo is rescued by two people: Mameha, the most renowned geisha in Gion, who offers to become her "big sister" and train her in all things geisha; and a chairman who offers her a kind word on the street. Chiyo—who will later be known as Sayuri—becomes fixated on becoming a successful geisha for the sole purpose of reconnecting with the Chairman.
Now, to me, a really good book is one that makes me want to learn more about some aspect of the story, and Memoirs of a Geisha is definitely one such book. I'm eager to check my library for books about Japanese culture now, and geisha culture in particular. I want to know more!
I loved reading about Sayuri's various geisha rituals, classes and accoutrements: the bidding war for her mizuage (virginity), her shamisen (a stringed instrument) and dance classes; the different types of shoes she wears; the intricacy involved in putting on a kimono and applying makeup; the way she successfully navigates her many social appearances; the drama of finding a suitable danna (a man who supports her financially).
Memoirs of a Geisha is a fast read. Knowing from the beginning that Chiyo is to become one of Japan's most well known geisha made me want to find out how she got to be that way. Chiyo's life is full of dramatic ups and downs, but she always finds a way to gather her inner strength and push through. I was very pleasantly surprised by how quickly I grew to love her.
Yes, I am continuing to enjoy my reading journey of fiction stories disguised as memoirs or personal history retellings. I never tire of these types of stories! [Memoirs of a Geisha] is not your typical "rags to riches" kind of story, even if the selling into slavery is a good "rags" starting point. I grate at the idea of treating human beings as "commodities" but I couldn't help but be captivated by the details of geisha life and the depiction of Japan of the 1930's. Giving the story extra "oomph", Golden surrounds our protagonist with a cast of characters that is, on its whole, just the right blending of fairy tale heroes in Mameha and the Chairman and villains in Hatsumomo, that I almost chuckled a bit at Golden's version of the proverbial 'glass slipper' when it made an appearance. While the story kind of fizzles out near the end for me, Golden's portrayal of Sayuri and her struggles in the geisha world of Gion is richly rewarding glimpse into a forbidden world, even if Sayuri comes across overly naïve at times.
Lately, books about Japan have interested me a great deal. This was one I couldn't not read. While looking up some of the things mentioned in this book I found out that it wasn't an actual biography (I had thought as much) and that there was some controversy about the truthfulness of the things described. But for me it doesn't change how much I liked this book.
The book is told by Sayuri, a geisha who started work during the Great Depression and is now (1990s I guess) living in New York, telling her life story. Her story is tragic and filled with hardship. However, I loved the descriptions of how she felt and how she dealt with it. The descriptions of life in Japan, in Gion and outside, before and during the war are beautiful, and I couldn't put the book down.
Powerful story.
I have no idea how to begin this review, nothing I can possibly say will adequately measure how beautifully enchanting the writing was. Without looking at the context and any possible controversies surrounding how this book came to be, I thought this novel was a mesmerizing read from start to finish.
"I dont think any of us can speak frankly about pain until we are no longer enduring it."
"If a few minutes of suffering could make me so angry, what would years of it do? Even a stone can be worn down with enough rain."
I think one of the great aspects of this book was definitely the hardship endured during the War, and how its effects trickle down to even the smallest of villages to large towns like Gion.
While there weren't many twists and turns in this novel, there was certainly a sense of uncertainty where our main character will end up, or what will happen to her. At most parts, the readers can always tell what is to happen but it's like a slow train wreck where you're helpless to do anything but to look.
Obviously I can't disregard the discrepancies between the way Japan is portrayed, the fact that the author of this story is someone non-Japanese writing as a memoir, or how it was slightly inspired from a true Geisha who did not want so much involvement released publicly through this book and said author disregarded her wishes.
Golden fills the book with vivid images and subtle descriptions of the nuances of Japanese culture, and is absolutely brilliant in his description of the customs and rituals of the geisha. Through the meticulous detail the reader can fully understand the politics, rivalries, and traditions of the Japan geisha society.
Mr. Golden gives us not only a richly sympathetic portrait of a woman, but also a finely observed picture of an anomalous and largely vanished world. He has made an impressive and unusual debut.
Haarhuis's foreword and Golden's epilogue, the one appropriating the guise of a novel and the other taking it off, suggest an author who is of two minds when it comes to his work. It is not surprising, then, if his readers share this uncertainty. The decision to write an autobiographically styled novel rather than a nonfiction portrait is most obviously justified in terms of empathy, of allowing greater freedom to explore the geisha's inner life. Unfortunately, Sayuri's personality seems so familiar it is almost generic; she is not so much an individual as a faultless arrangement of feminine virtues.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0679781587, Paperback)The first thing you notice about the audio version of Memoirs of a Geisha is that Arthur Golden's 428-page novel has been reduced to a scant two cassettes. But dismay quickly gives way to mounting pleasure as Elaina Erika Davis (Contact, As the World Turns) begins her delicate rendering of geisha culture in the years before World War II. Davis reads the abbreviated story of Sayuri with an authentic-sounding Japanese accent--one mixed with a magical combination of Asian reserve and theatrical energy. As Sayuri ages from a 9-year-old peasant girl to a popular geisha in her late 20s, Davis directs her voice gently away from curious youth to a tone that reflects Sayuri's uphill life.
From start to finish, the listener is absorbed in the elegant spirit of Davis's performance, eager to hear the next chapter of Sayuri's transformation into one of the most famous geishas of the century. How unfortunate, then, to learn that book readers not only get the basic story, but a fascinating look at the intricate rules and rituals of geisha culture. Here, for example, is one of the many revelations omitted from the cassette: "Japanese men, as a rule, feel about a woman's neck and throat the same way that men in the West might feel about a woman's legs.... In fact, a geisha leaves a tiny margin of skin bare all around the hairline, causing her makeup to look even more artificial.... When a man sits beside her, he becomes that much more aware of the bare skin beneath."
We're also denied several subplots--the aborted friendship between Sayuri and a geisha named Pumpkin, for example, or much of the story involving the man Sayuri is secretly in love with. But what remains is as precious as a traditional Japanese kimono--at once artistic, suggestive, and moving. --Ann Senechal

So now you have the history. Let's get to the context.
Why am I talking about colorblindness?
Yesterday The other day, amidst the many many bloggy happenings that went on, one of Aunt B's threads ventured into (pardon the pun) some muddy waters.
Or, should I say, water that is difficult to see through but which has no discernable or relevant hue-related qualities. Heh, I kid. But the spectre of "colorblind" philosophy raised its head, and I had a mild, squeaky fit.
Since it was tangential, though, and since all sorts of other stuff was going on that day, I kind of let it drop. It's hard to explain how such sincere well-intentioned comments made me start squirming around in my chair, wondering what to say. And firing off a half-baked, poorly linked reply wasn't really going to help. So I dropped it.
Then I noticed that Kat, in the "When all else fails, blame black people" thread, had asked for my opinion on the matter, and I rethought it. So I gave her a short answer, and said I'd find the links and theory to beef that up today. Here's to hoping nobody asks me to do anything strenuous today.
(Is it bad that I totally didn't notice it was a different thread until just now, when I went to link it?)
Remember when I said I was working on two other posts? Well, one was a response to the "colorblind" thing, and the other was a fuller explication of some things that were snipped from my comment over at Mack's place. Well, this post ate them both. Hopefully, I'll be able to show you how all of this ties together.
*cracks knuckles* This is a huge subject. And I'm jittery enough right now, between the caffiene and the Adderall and the thirty million different ideas running through my head that I want to make sure to bring in, that this isn't going to be the most eloquent post I've ever written. If you want eloquent and well-written, you might try the hair post, or It's not that simple, or go over to Aunt B's instead. Don't say I didn't warn ya.
I will be linking to a lot of POC blogs. Because this is a touchy subject, they may not always be nice, or explain their terms in ways that are comfortable for white readers. Keep in mind that although the tone may be challenging or confrontational, no one is trying to insult you personally.
Please also remember that, just as in your home communities, there are inside jokes, ideological shorthand, and codes of conduct that may not be immediately evident. If something seems unnecessarily harsh, or ill-explained, generally more looking will produce an explanation. If not, asking politely will usually get you pointed in the right direction.
If you are going to post in any of these places, I ask that you respect their rules, and treat them as safe spaces. Tekanji's look at "minority spaces" may be useful here.
Oh, and even though this was inspired by some things that happened at Tiny Cat Pants and elsewhere, it really, truly isn't directed at anyone. I switch back and forth between "I" "we" and "you" pretty frequently, and I know it's a literary failing of mine. Bear with me, and remember: this isn't (specifically) about you.
Some of the terminology I'm going to use here is necessarily going to be pretty specific. Since I always wind up wading into comments to clarify my terms, I might as well do it upfront.
Color-blind refers in this case to the philosophy that, in order to eliminate racism, one must (simply) ignore race entirely. It emphasizes treating everyone equally, and not judging based on skin tone or percieved ethnic features. It relies heavily on the (erroneous) assuption that it is the ability to (linguistically) mark people as "other" that facilitates the hatred directed to out-group members, and, much like in 1984, strives to simply eliminate the 'bad' words/concepts from the lexicon.
It's sibling, race-neutral philosophy, is what I generally call the "charitable" reading of color-blind philosophy. Where colorblindness depends on near-literal "blindness" to racial characteristics, often to the tune of "I don't think of you as black" statements, race-neutrality instead emphasizes the relative weight of percieved race or ethnicity in various situations. Under this philosophy, race is often likened to eye color; a real, visible marker that nonetheless has no legitimate bearing on hiring decisions, relationship matters, or other decisions.
POC – People of Color. Generally self-identified, but often used as a general marker denoting the ethnically non-white.
Brown – a recently popular term covering most of the same ground as POC. It is generally a reclamatory term, and despite popular colloquial color metaphors, may include Blacks and Asians if they so choose.
Essentialism – the belief that things are as they are because they are essentially, or inherently, that way. Often extended causally to include behavior, lending itself to arguments along the lines of "women like to cook because the nature of woman is to nurture."
I will probably be using terms which may be found in Nezua's Definition of Terms section as well, though I will try to link when doing so. Bear in mind that these definitions are tongue in cheek, but well convey the ire that often accompanies their use.
On to the analysis…
So what's the deal? Being colorblind sounds like a really great idea, doesn't it? After all, if you teach your kids not to notice what race people are, they won't think to disparage people on the basis of things that don't matter, right?
As far as it goes, it's not an inadmirable sentiment. I fully believe that most people who profess colorblindness do so from a well-founded desire to do the right thing. Unfortunately, many of those same people have either not thought it out entirely, or simply don't know what to do with it. And some people are just mean, and relish the increased opportunities for passive-aggressive bullying it allows. Sometimes, it just comes out racist.
A common mistake among many white liberals is that they honestly believe if you merely announce to the world that you believe in the equality of all people, that would be the end it. This is NOT to say just because they do not "get it" that they should be compared to white supremacists that practice the overt forms of racism. I sincerely believe most white folks despise racism; however, many of them still do not "get it."
There are a couple of problems with the framework, though.
1) It paints "color" as the problem. The problem is coded as race, not that people are racist.
I don't want to be not black, I want not to be a problem. When you say "I don't think of you as black," you are ignoring me, plain and simple. I am black. That's part of who and what I am. As Nezua (paraphrasing Rafael) said: "if you are COLORBLIND, then you don't see my struggles."
It is not my fault that race relations are fucked up. If you cannot simultaneously think about me as being a person of color and a regular person, a friend, a smart person, a potential employee, or what have you, that is your problem and you need to fix it.
2) It doesn't address the underlying power structures. By pretending everyone is white, it implicitly casts "white" as better than any "race." It just moves everyone into the same category, without addressing how and why those categories are constructed, or what might be messed up about constructing hierarchies the way they currently are.
3) It relies on the framework of white as the unmarked default. It only really works if you agree that the dominant cultural paradigm here is not a white one, and that white isn't a racial and cultural framwork at all. Because otherwise, it would be "whitewashing," and not "colorblindness." You can only pretend to ignore race as long as you steadfastly deny any racial taint in the system you want everyone to hew to.
And make no mistake, that system has rules, and those rules are white rules. How you speak, how you dress, what your name sounds like, what music it's okay to like… those are all coded into it. It's worded indirectly, softly, "for your own good." Don't name your kid Quanishia or Shaquanda or Aalaiyya if you want her to get ahead. People will think that's "ghetto," you know. Make sure you wear your hair just right, so people don't get the wrong idea. Oh, it's not about race! Heavens no. It's about propriety. It's about class. It's about presenting your best face to the world.
Never mind that to do that, you have to scrub off all the messy bits and pieces that remind other people that you're not white. That well-meaning people will denounce your music and its accompanying culture[1] as "worthless," because some of its prominent figures are unrepentantly misogynist. (Never mind the misogyny in pop, or rock, or jazz, and never mind that it's not that simple. Never mind that there are white rappers, or that the music is consciously packaged and marketed toward a predominately white audience.)
4) It's awkward. For people who are invested in their identity markers, it's really uncomfortable to interact with a person who steadfastly refuses to admit those markers exist.
Going back to the gender parallel, as I said in my short original reply, it's as if someone decided "I'm going to be gender blind; I'm going to treat everyone like they were men, just like me," and proceeded to then hold everyone to masculine gender norms, regardless of their preferred, professed, or represented gender.
Or, to flip it, if someone decided they were going to be orientation blind, and went around talking to absolutely everyone as if they were homosexual. If I went around ignoring straight men's girlfriends and trying to set them up with my male friends, and told them "Oh, I don't think of you as straight," the awkward would be the least of my issues.
Atheists – you know how your hackles rise every time someone assumes you're Christian? And ignores your statements to the contrary? That's what it feels like to have someone pretend you don't have a race. It's awkward at best, and tooth-gnashingly frustrating at worst.
Worse, it makes you the problem.
6) It makes me the problem.
One of the major, oft-repeated tenets of the vocally colorblind is that talking about race is a problem all by itself. If race isn't explicitly talked about – even when a policy, decision, or act directly and specifically impacts a particular race over others – then obviously, racism isn't the problem. Anyone who says differently is obviously bringing race in where race oughtn't tread, and is probably racist themselves.
If, for instance, one wanted to comment about how it was strange that there were so few people of color at a certain elite institution… the conversation would magically shift to wondering why the person was talking about race. That race isn't a valuable diversity characteristic, being reduced to "the color of their skin." You don't want to be fetishizing people for the color of their skin now, do you? Obviously, background was important… so we should be recruiting more poor people, more people from foreign countries, more republicans. Ideological and historical diversity. And if all of those people happened to be white, well… that just goes to show that you don't need people of color around to be a diverse place.
You have turned your problem (that you think differently of people coded "other") into my problem (that I am coded "other" in your presence, and making you think about it).
It's like those boys in the Rebelution survey, talking about how girls and women were the problem because "they keep reminding us that we're different." Suddenly, it's my problem for mentioning it, or looking like it, or reminding them of it.
I get to spend all of my time hearing the whispers "Look, there she goes, that black girl… always playing the race card. Why can't she just shut up about it and talk about real problems?" And if a white person should mention it, suddenly the whispers shift to "Oh, poor thing… look at all that 'white guilt' he's carrying around. Someone should tell him it's not his fault."
It's not just complaint, of course. Simply being as you are, claiming that you are black, or asian, or what have you, is often enough. Stating that out loud, claiming pride in it… well that's downright oppressive. White-as-unmarked people don't get to claim White Pride, so what gives you the right to clam that your Brown is something to be proud of? Why are you dressing so ethnically? Are you trying to make a point? What political statement does your hair make?
7) It can lead to some racist-assed shit. (as if the stuff above wasn't enough) Because the colorblind schema focuses so heavily on the semantic issues, just about anything goes if you frame it right.
Especially, it seems, within the feminist/progressive community. And once other issues (such as class) enter into it, it becomes that much harder to point out, and deal with. After all, so-and-so is such a good feminist/lefty/blogger/politico/"ally" that they couldn't possibly be racist (or sexist, ableist, heterosexist, or what have you)
These aren't issues solely linked to colorblind philosophy, obviously. A lot of this happens in people who think the very concept is silly. But I have seen and heard colorblind rhetoric employed in this manner, over and over and over again. Mentioning race is a problem. Calling attention to your racial differences is a problem. Talking about racial group phenomena is a problem. If we ignore it, then it won't be a problem any more, right?
I suppose I could have just said: read this. But that would have been too easy.
Tying it all up:
Whew! That was long. Long enough to take me two days, and not nearly as eloquent as Part I… but I think I covered most of my issues with the framework itself. LEt's see if I can squeeze out a Part III to bring some specificity to this discussion.
[1] I recognize the specificity of her complaint – the "pimp" culture instead of the "rap" culture or "black" culture. Their steady conflation in that and other threads, however, is part of what I'm talking about. It's "their culture," and it is a monolith somehow. As if there weren't feminist rappers. Or critiques from within. As if all of rap could be reduced to pimp culture, or thug culture, when in fact that's a subculture… a prominent one, but a subculture nonetheless.

- Look for low-mileage discounts
- Take a class to save money
- Make your next new car safer
- Consider who can drive your car
- Consider who should not drive your car
- Don't let others use your address
- Review coverage for snowbirds
- Think about when you should stop driving
If you're joining the millions of baby boomers leaving the world of work, it's the perfect time to take a look at your auto insurance to see how you can save money.
After all, you didn't give up driving, just working.
Car insurance rates tend to be at their lowest when drivers are between 40 and 70. After that age, rates typically increase modestly. Senior drivers can make up for that increase by keeping their skills sharp and comparing quotes periodically.
The transition into retirement also can bring the opportunity for new discounts.
Look for low-mileage discounts
Retirement may mean an end to lengthy commutes and hours spent in rush-hour traffic. That alone can earn you lower car insurance rates. Ask your insurance company to give you rates as a pleasure vehicle rather than one used for commuting.
Many insurance companies will charge you less if you drive less, too.
Some will simply take your word for how many miles you drive each year, while others will monitor your driving behavior to determine your discount.
Safeco, for example, says you may qualify for a discount of up to 20 percent if you drive fewer than 8,000 miles a year.
Others offer pay-as-you-drive insurance, which requires you to plug in a telematics device that tracks things such as the number of miles you drive, how fast you drive, how you brake, and what hours of the day you drive.
For its Drivewise program, which monitors your driving, Allstate says you may be able to get a discount if you drive carefully and travel less than 25 to 30 miles a day.
As a low-mileage, low-risk driver, "you will qualify for a pretty decent discount," which could be more than 40 percent with some auto insurance companies, says Penny Gusner, Insure.com's consumer analyst.
Take a class to get a discount
Keeping your driving skills sharp also may earn you an auto insurance discount and be a key to getting cheap car insurance, says Brandt Minnich, vice president of marketing for Mercury Insurance.
According to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, 34 states and the District of Columbia require your insurance company to give you a discount if you take an approved defensive driving class. Some of those states even allow you to take the class online.
Those discounts usually kick in if you're 55 or older and typically apply to liability insurance, according to the Insurance Information Institute.
The approved courses may include programs such as AAA's RoadWise Driver or AARP's Smart Driver Course.
Make your next new car safer
The right car for retirement should anticipate changes in your physical needs, and high-tech features in the newest cars have dramatically changed things for the better.
Crossovers and sport-utility vehicles are among the safest vehicles on the road. Their high seating position improves visibility and makes ingress and egress easier. But consider features such as rear-view cameras, blind-spot warnings and collision-avoidance systems that can keep you out of accidents – and an insurance claim – altogether. (See "The top 10 high-tech safety features for older drivers.")
Consider who can drive your car
Even if you live alone, you might need to add another driver to your auto insurance policy.
If family members regularly borrow your car, or you have someone who helps you around the house and uses your vehicle, you should include them to your auto insurance policy.
You might be afraid that adding another driver will drive up your rates, but that isn't necessarily the case.
The other person's driving record is a major factor. So if your adult daughter drives your car and has a clean record, your premium may not change.
And if you don't add someone you should and he gets in a wreck, you run the risk of your insurer denying the claim because you misrepresented who regularly drives your vehicle, Gusner says.
There's no need to add someone who drives your vehicle once in a blue moon, like your sister visiting from out of state.
Should you keep someone away from your vehicle?
On the other hand, if you add certain people to the policy, such as your 16-year-old grandson, your premiums will soar.
Again, you don't need to add him if he drives your car infrequently. But if it's a regular occurrence, he should be included on the policy.
Your rates also could take a hit if you add a driver who has a bad credit score. That's one of the factors insurers consider when setting your rate, Gusner says.
Many states allow you to specifically exclude certain drivers from your policy, and they won't be covered by insurance if they drive your vehicle.
However, if you exclude your teenage grandson and an emergency crops up and you need him to drive you to the hospital, he'll have no insurance coverage, Gusner says.
Don't let others use your address
If you live in a safer neighborhood than your kids or grandkids, you might think you're doing them a favor by allowing them to register your vehicle at your address so they can get lower insurance rates.
But that's considered premium fraud or rate evasion, because your family members are paying lower premiums than they should.
If your family member gets in a wreck and your insurance company catches wind of the incorrect address, they'll likely launch an investigation, and the claim would typically be denied.
Review coverage for snowbirds
Snowbirds who flee northern climes or Canada each winter need to be sure they understand the auto insurance requirements at their home away from home.
If you live in Ohio and drive to Florida each year for a month or two a year, you won't need to make any changes to your policy.
But if you spend more than 90 days a year in the Sunshine State, you'll need to meet the state's minimum auto insurance requirements. Florida requires you to keep at least $10,000 in personal injury protection (PIP) and $10,000 in property damage liability coverage.
And if you leave a car in Florida year-round, it needs to be registered in Florida, instead of your state of legal residence.
If you keep your car in Florida, but register it in your state of legal residence, you're violating state law. (See more about car insurance requirements for snowbirds in Arizona and Florida.)
Think about when you should stop driving
While your car gives you freedom, you'll need to consider when it's time to no longer get behind the wheel.
Older drivers can have difficulty processing information and making decisions in complex driving environments, says Sandra Winter of the University of Florida's Institute for Mobility, Activity and Participation. That can mean problems on busy, multilane highways.
Often older drivers will realize they need to make adjustments and won't drive at night, on interstates or during rush hour.
If you won't curb your driving when you become a risk, family members will need to intervene, or erratic driving will draw the attention of police.
AARP has a list of 10 signs that you should stop or limit driving:
- Frequent close calls and almost crashing.
- Finding dents or scrapes on your car or other objects, such as fences and mailboxes.
- Getting lost in familiar locations.
- Having trouble seeing or following traffic signs and signals and pavement markings.
- Having a slower response time to unexpected situations or problems moving your foot from the gas pedal to the brake pedal.
- Misjudging gaps in traffic.
- Causing other drivers to honk or complain.
- Having difficulty concentrating while driving.
- Having difficulty turning to check the rear view mirror when backing up or changing lanes.
- Receiving multiple traffic tickets or warnings.

RHEL 6 Beta: Red Hat Tests Its Next Enterprise Linux
Red Hat has released the beta of its Enterprise Linux (RHEL) version 6, three years after introducing version 5.
The "next generation" profits from kernel updates and improved power-saving through better process management. New monitoring tools such as Powertop and the Tuned daemon support the power management functions. Red Hat emphasizes its cooperation in kernel development, including its rewrite of the process scheduler in the kernel.
Red Hat also wants to win some points for scalability, without providing particular numbers for the beta. Apparently the limit set for RHEL 5 of 64 CPUs and 2 TBytes of memory in a rack of up to five units is no longer the case for version 6.
The major filesystem update in the beta was to ext4. XFS should also be added with the final version. NFS was updated to version 4 and thus supports IPv6. Willing testers can download RHEL 6 Beta from the Red Hat site. The final RHEL 6 should be available later this year.

Saints ask fans to show up early for games
Published: Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 9:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 9:58 a.m.
NEW ORLEANS — The New Orleans Saints are urging fans to arrive early at the Superdome for the team's remaining four home games because of increased security measures.
The security screening will include hand-held metal-detecting wands and pat-down searches.
WWL-TV reports (http://bit.ly/rKiIwj ) that Saints fans complained earlier this month after the team put new security measures in place before their matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Some ticket holders said they had to wait 45 minutes in line and missed part of the game.
Saints officials said Wednesday that it's "highly recommended" for fans to show up early so that they don't miss any of the action.

Heard this story on NPR this morning about clothing stores who have decided to start charging a "fit fee" from customers who come into the store to try things on, only to purchase the items later online.
Reminded me of the many online discussions about buying in bike shops (should you support your LBS, buy online, or a do a little of both? is it OK to 'try it on' in a store and then hurry home to order what you want online?).
Here's the story:


text: I purchased a Motorola Atrix HD for my personal use and I opened the box to get it out. Along with this smartphone, I found accessories like earphone, USB cable, Normal power adapter, manual and so on. But I didnt find any Vehicle Power Adapter with it. I need to travel a lot and that is why I need to have a charger in my car so that I can charge batteries of Motorola Atrix HD while driving. Can someone confirm if there is a Vehicle Power Adapter for this smartphone that should have come along with the pack?

"The Ukraine" Kiev by MrBill
Kiev Travel Guide: 1,687 reviews and 4,135 photos
I lived in Kyiv in 1998-99 during the Russian currency crisis. The currency crisis had a profound effect on the development of the Ukraine. It still has not recovered.
I arrived in Kyiv in June 1998 to start up the treasury operations of an Austrian bank. We opened for business in the middle of July. By the middle of August we had the Russian currency crisis.
Basically, Russia defaulted on their debt obligatioins. The Ukraine could of continued to pay on theirs, as Poland did, but chose instead to follow Russia's lead, and default as well, through a mandatory rescheduling of their debt obligations. This killed the domestic market, and further discouraged much needed foreign investment.
Five years later, Russia has recovered due to its size, importance, and oil & gas revenues. Poland has joined the EU accession process and is doing nicely. While the Ukraine remains one of the laggards of the former CIS countries.
Why do I tell you this? As you travel through CEE, you will visit the winners and losers from the break-up of the former USSR. Some countries have made a clean break, made tough decisions, and have reformed themselves. Others have not swallowed thier bitter medicine, and continue to lag behind in terms of growth and prosperity.
Please do not blame this on capitalism or globalization. This is a matter of domestic politics and good governance.
The Ukraine may have many nice churches, but their domestic development has been stunted by poor government and populist politics.
My favorite memories of Kyiv are my good friends there, the Chestnut trees in bloom in May, and skiing down St. Andrivivska street, atter a snow storm had deposited a good foot of new snow. It was almost midnight, I carried my skiis over and skied down the middle of the street. When I got to the bottom, I took a taxi around and back up the hill. I think the locals thought I was truly crazy? Crazy Canuck that is.
I would reccommend people to visit Kyiv, but a few days is more than enough.
I did not find it safe or convenient to venture outside the city on my own. So the chances to see the countryside were few. I enjoyed going out to my frriend's baba's dacha and digging potatoes and then having a huge dinner accompanied by copious amounts of samagon, the locally made over-proof vodka. After one such trip to the countryside, and many samagons, I inherited a kitty-kat. One of the sweetest, and dare I say, dog-like, people loving cats, I have ever had.
I did go with friends for picnics along the Dnipro river and to many fine lakes surrounding the city. I was very disappointed that the Ukraine people do not take good care of their environment. Without exception, every pretty picnic spot was literally covered in garbage - bottles, cans, paper and plastic - that people had carried in, but not out. Even in a poorer, developing country there is no excuse to deface the natural beauty of a country well indowed with lakes, rivers, beaches and forests.
Yalta and the Black Sea were great. I never made it to the Carpathian mountains in the Ukraine, due to the poor state of the roads, although I did ski on the Romanian side of these mountains while I lived there, but that is another travelogue.
One year in the Ukraine was enough. I had problems with the Russian mafia, the police, the customs agents, etc. and it was time to get the heck out of Dodge before I ended up floating in the Dnipro or shot on the steps of my apartment. No exaggeration.
Take a short flight from Kyiv to Yalta and the Black Sea ports. Would have loved to have spent more time there. I did not even get the chance to visit Odessa!
- Pros:beautiful wide, tree lined boulevards
- Cons:isolated, no chance to get out of the city
- In a nutshell:great place to visit, you don't want to live there

Amazing pictures for an amazing age!! Regards from Texas...
Jeez what a great page.Sounds like Ukraine was one hell of a adventure
Interesting Kiev Page Bill...I may be off there in May to attend a wedding...well, that's something I never thought I'd get to say! :) Like the stories about the Mafia...sounds like you had an adventure!
Interesting page. Sorry, no tips - nothing to rate ;-)
Skiing in Andriyvska using taxi as a lift - must have been absolutely fascinating image :-)) IMO some things had changed past years, many people running small businesses, under Carpathians some roads repaired... some remain :-( - garbage. Good page.

All because someone starts out wanting your property and thinks they can just take it.
This locksmiths passion is to help stop the anarchy and the damage to your life, homes and business. with real lock smith skills

Hi, My understanding is that we can wrap hspice buffer models given a subckt definition. Is that true? I am attaching the information I have fromt the vendor. I appreciate if anybody let me know if I can wrap this model to .dml. Thanks, -Bobby
I couldn't find your attachment. But basically, yes, you can do that.
The answer changes based on whether you are using Tlsim or Hspice as the simulation engine under AllegroSI. If you are targeting your simulation to Hspice, the process is naturally simpler and you can use encrypted and non-encrypted models. Ken Willis wrote a good app-note on how to do this under Articles->Multi-GigaHertz at: http://www.cdnusers.org/community/allegro/Resources/resources_pcbsi/mgh/Howto_wrapHSPice.zipIf you are targeting your simulation to Tlsim (the native simulator), then you will likely need to perform various syntax conversions and possibly get stuck because Tlsim/Espice does not support M element transistors.Hope that helps,Donald
Hi Bobby,Even I am trying to convert the .sp in the deck to a .dml format.If you were successful in doing that, could you plz share that.I assume you would need a .SUBCKT in your main .sp file so that u can define it as Cadence Espice and then Wrap it.In the 'driver.doc' which u attached, there is just a function being called, and the .SUBCKT is in some other file. I think you need to bring those .subckt to the main .sp file and then wrap it as espice, either manually or using spc2dml.Thanks, Bipin
Bobby/Bipin,Appendix B in the aSI-Hspic_Guide.pdf explains how to wrap an encrypted Hspice model. The PDF file can be found at this link:http://www.cdnusers.org/Articles/Download/tabid/163/Default.aspx?title=Using%20Hspice%20as%20the%20Simulation%20Engine%20Under%20Allegro%20PCB%20SIDonald

Kourtney Kardashian And Family Celebrate Lamar Odoms Birthday (Photos)Joanna Mazewski
Celebrity mom Kourtney Kardashian made it a family night to celebrate her brother-in-law Lamar Odom's birthday at the El Floridita Cuban restaurant in Los Angeles.
Kourtney looked chic as always in a white silk blouse and black sweater and jeans. Her boyfriend, Scott Disick held their son Mason while they exited the restaurant together wearing an interesting color-block combination.
While his polo shirt is a decent color, we're not sure what to think about his ruby red loafers. Maybe he wanted to match the color of his girlfriend's lipstick?
Check out our pictures of the couple along with their son Mason and judge for yourself.
Also, it's noted that younger sister Kim Kardashian was not present during the birthday celebration as she was at home crying green-colored Benjamin Franklin tears at home. That's pretty selfish of her, isn't it?
