News in Short: Internet Explorer 9 beta coming this September, Twitter adds feature on who to follow
Microsoft progresses with IE 9
Microsoft CEO Kevin Turner announced this week that their forthcoming upgrade to the dying legend that is Internet Explorer, version 9, will open beta in September.
IE 9 has been touted by the software corporation as a full-fledged upgrade, one that will bring IE 9 from the back of the bus right up into the driver's seat. They have a long way to though.
The final version is not expected to be released until 2011.
Twitter says, "How about this guy?"
A obvious problem with Twitter has always been finding new, relevant people to follow. The social networking site has attempted to solve this with a new feature called "Suggestions for You."
The algorithms in this feature, built by our user relevance team, suggest people you don't currently follow that you may find interesting. The suggestions are based on several factors, including people you follow and the people they follow. You'll see these suggestions on Twitter.com and the Find People section. If you like a suggestion, click "follow"; if you don't, click "hide," and we'll try not to suggest that user again. (Official Twitter Blog)

Kingston Township police responding to a fight discovered a man covered in blood who turned out to be an unregistered sex offender, according to an affidavit.
A fight broke out between two friends at 126 Ceder Ave. on Wednesday around 10 p.m., but when police arrived, the homeowner told officers the friend he was fighting had already left.
Police found Shane and Kevin Garey hiding in the garage of the Ceder Avenue address. Kevin Garey's face and shirt had a large amount of blood on them, police said.
Police ran the Gareys' names through a records check and found Kevin Garey was listed as "a noncompliant, lifetime sex offender" from Kentucky. He had been in Luzerne County since February 2013, staying at several addresses, without registering, police said.
Garey was jailed Thursday at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility, unable to post $25,000 bail set by Magisterial District Judge David Barilla. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. before Magisterial District Judge James Tupper.

The Bachelorette
Who Is Ben Scott's Son, Brody, From The Bachelorette? Exclusive
If you're watching / just watched / are planning on watching (as soon as your roommate stops watching Arrested Development Season 4) The Bachelorette Season 9 with Desiree Hartsock premiere, you probably know that the cutest guy on the show is not ripped, successful, or suited up. Well, he's one of those. We're talking about Ben Scott's son Brody, who made his television debut with the best limo entrance of all time.
When Ben arrived, he booted 4-year-old Brody out of the limo, and the darling kid walked up to Des to hand her a rose. Honestly, we could've ended the show right there, sending Des, Ben, and Brody on their way for a happy future. And Des seemed to feel the same way, since she and Ben connected on their love of adventure and the outdoors, earning Ben a pre-ceremony rose in the process.
So, who is this tyke? Well, according to his mama, Stevie, who Ben calls his "best friend" (awww cute!), Brody was born on January 13, 2009. And considering how cute he is, we're not surprised at all to learn that Brody has four girlfriends! "He had to give each of his 'girlfriends' a different valentine on Valentine's Day because, as he said, 'Mom, I can't give them the same valentine! They would be sooo mad at me!'" Oh my Gosh. Bachelor 2036 has been found, you guys.
When he's not pimpin' with the ladies (someone alert Jimmy Kimmel that Baby Bachelor Wes isn't the only tiny cutie with game for days), he does normal stuff. "He loves fishing with his uncle Cameron, going to movies with his dad. He likes to play soccer and baseball, too," Stevie tells us.
We're not sure what his future plans are, you know, besides continuing to make ladies of all ages swoon, but we could definitely see a future modeling or acting career ahead for Brody. But first, he says, he just wants to go to Disneyland.

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
Copies are generally accepted and can be introduced as evidence in court. The only time originals are required is when there is a question regarding authenticity or the correctness of the documents. For instance, if you challenged whether or not you signed the documents, the originals would be preferred but not required if a forensic document examiner were required to do an examination of your signature, etc.
I do not think that original documents are ever destroyed until the loan is paid off.
Most of my practice is dedicated to bankruptcy litigation and I'm a BV rated Martindale-Hubbell litigation attorney and also a Super Lawyer in the areas of real estate and bankruptcy.
I am comfortable with the questions posed and subject matter. Your initial question was about what proof was required to validate a loan, and I think that's been answered.
I haven't seen a question about MERS, which is a private company - not a branch of the government - that simply created a database to keep up with loans, owners of those loans, transfers from one lender to another, etc.
Nevertheless, I'll be glad to opt out and allow someone else to assist you.
Good luck.
The question is open....
Have a good night.

New Box feature builds Box functionality anywhere
On Tuesday, at the BoxWorks Conference, Box CEO Aaron Levie announced a new embed functionality that lets companies embed Box content anywhere using an HTML5 embed code. They also announced 10 partners including Jive, NetSuite, Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) and Zendesk who will have this embed capability built into their products.
At a demonstration today using NetSuite, the company showed Box show up as a fully functioning tab in NetSuite with all of the content associated with that customer listed in the Box tab. What's more, the content carries the complete set of Box functionality with it, so anything you can do with that content in Box, you can do in that folder.
Levie said that anytime they update Box functionality, the embed functionality will upgrade with it because it is full Box functionality embedded in another program.
From a user perspective, they can embed a Box folder anywhere, such as a web landing page or a blog post, and give visitors complete access to the range of Box functionality. And you can set folder sharing parameters just as you can when sharing a folder with somebody else.
From Levie's perspective, it provides a way to extend Box into just about anywhere and that has very powerful implications if it takes off. "We're making it incredibly simple for our partners and developers to leverage the power of Box from within their services, and to provide a central content layer for enterprise productivity."
Levie sees this ability as a real differentiator for Box in a collaboration space that's growing increasingly crowded by the week. We joked that there is a new file sharing announcement a couple of times of a week and it seems that there is. He believes that this provides a way for his company to show its commitment to content sharing by making it available anywhere with full Box functionality built in.
"Our content is available anywhere and I promise you we are the only company thinking on that level today because it's the only thing we do," he said.
The level of integration and how automated the integration is depends on the partnership, a Box spokesperson explained. "So with NetSuite we do the record-level folders automatically, and have security settings so you can restrict access within Box so that we essentially follow NetSuite's permissions," the spokesperson explained. She added, "With partners we do custom integration, rather than just grabbing the code and embedding like customers can do."
Overall, it seems to be part of a strategy on Box's part to put Box in front of users as much as possible, and it's hard to argue with the elegance of this approach.

An Excerpt from Chapter 1
Why We Moved to the Country and What We Set Out to Accomplish
Carolyn, our son Jackie, and I haven't any land to sell, we aren't promoting anybody's products. We just want to tell you some things we learned about how to have more fun, more health and more security than 99% of the people in this world ever had before.
Back in 1942, we Robinsons lived in a big apartment house in New York. Far from having all the conveniences and easy living you are supposed to have in a big city, we discovered we had very little.
In the first place, we always felt restricted. Living in the city wasn't easy, it was difficult. And every time we turned around, it cost us money.
For example, just to let the baby walk or play outdoors cost us money and trouble. First, we had to dress the baby nice (because we were going to the park), then get together blankets, diapers, his toys, etc., carry all this and the baby out to the elevator, wait until the elevator came for us, then walk two blocks and wait for a bus, then ride about 15 blocks and get off the bus, carry everything to the park, and find a spot where we can sit down.
One terribly hot Sunday afternoon we had gone all through this procedure and finally found a spot that wasn't crowded, spread a blanket to sit on, unpacked the baby's toys, diapers, etc. and settled down for a few minutes' peace. Just then a policeman came up to us: "Look, you can't stay here," he said.
I suddenly remembered as a boy how wonderful it had been to lie in the grass in back of our house in the little New England town in which I was brought up.
We got up to leave. I said to Carolyn, my wife, "Look let's get out of here!" &"It'll be awful hot back at the apartment" she said "and Jackie hasn't had any sun for a long time."
That is how we began to think seriously about living in the country. I say think about it, because we thought about it for a long time before we did it. First, we couldn't see how we could afford living in the country. Then we began to wonder if we couldn't have a garden and maybe some chickens and be raising some of our food have more money so we could afford it.
The trouble was that a couple of our city friends who had farms always said the vegetables they raised cost about three times what they sold for in the store.
In fact, one man we knew about who had a fine modern dairy used to set before his guests two bottles. One was milk, the other champagne. "Take your choice," he'd say. "They cost me the same."
After we thought about this we realized these men were trying to run a commercial farm with a remote control. Usually they went to their farms weekends only because it was so far away and a hired man ran the farm for them. We wanted to keep a city job, for cash income; we wanted to stay near enough to the city to keep its advantages. We wanted to add the security and fullness of living that seemed more likely to come if we owned our home and some land not much land necessarily, but good land and at least enough of it to raise most of our food.
There was nothing new about this idea. We were aware that Henry Ford and many others had been advocating just this for years. We knew that hundreds of thousands of American families were already doing what we proposed to do.
We faced the fact that we knew absolutely nothing about raising any part of what our family needed to live. In fact our utter and absolute dependency on my job was appalling. If I should lose my job, even temporarily, we would have no money to pay our rent, the landlord would put us out... no money to buy groceries or pay the butcher and we wouldn't eat.
If there were another depression and I were to lose my job like millions in the last depression, then there wouldn't be a thing to do but stand in line and beg the government for "surplus commodities"... rent money... relief clothing until things got better again, which might be years!
Living in the city we couldn't save much. Everything we did, almost, cost money. Our biggest item was food. Suppose, we thought, we could raise a big part of our food... We knew nothing about farming. But we began to look at things we ate... started to study how we could grow them ourselves. For a long time before we actually did move into the country we studied how to raise things. Perhaps in all we read a couple of hundred books and pamphlets on this. We found that most material was out of date and most of the newer books were designed for commercial farming specialists. For example we found a dozen huge books on commercial dairy cattle but no simple, up-to-date little book telling us how to produce milk efficiently for our family and whether it was really economical to do so.

We're one week away from school board elections in our region.
Voters will head to the polls Tuesday, May 20 to decide if they approve of their school districts' budget.
While Ithaca City Schools are reducing teaching staff by 8 percent across the district, the picture is brighter in Newfield.
Superintendent of Newfield Schools Cheryl Thomas says cost-saving measures enacted in the past several years have made this year's budget less drastic.
"We're very carefully protected those programs all along the way," Thomas said. "Part of that involved voters approving an 8 percent tax levy increase a few years back."
The budget would increase taxes by around $20 for the average $100,000 home.
Thomas says they will face spending gaps in the years to come.

mid september photos
cute isn't he?
besides as i age i'll probably need to make a tincture from it.
i moved the pigs to their new paddock.
not having a little truck, sniffle, i couldn't get enough pallets to build it. i decided to build it from the garden cattle panels instead. there use seasonally complements these pigs so there is no real waste there. i'll be able to use them in the garden in the spring without conflict.
they are already growing like crazy,
and finally getting friendly.
i moved the waterer over here and will use it for a little while until my fifty five gallon drum waterer can be made. i am still cleaning the chemicals from it. whatever they used as a scent for the stuff is crazy pungent and won't go away.
they are very healthy. these pigs root around much more than our last pigs.
i moved their feeder over too. see that white metal down by the feed doors? that came from our retired clothes drier. the chickens are happy to clean the pig waste feed.
they don't like their little hut yet.
it is supposed to rain tonight so maybe they will use it then.
once the pigs root this area up we will annex this area into our garden.
there is a huge stump that i hope they dig up for me. this will be a true test of their further usefulness.
i removed part of the fence next to the barn.
we hope to start working on it fairly soon. it is funny how our plan changes as time goes on. things aren't obvious until you start living there. as we attempt to use stuff things become obvious that weren't previously clear.
i used the chicken tractors as fence shoots to guide the pigs to their new digs.
henry-the-show-dog is coming to help out.
"how may i be of service?"
soft and fluffy
the cows are inspecting my work
jocelyn is looking great.
i picked up a few wheel barrow loads of rock and put them under the eve of the barn. this will be my materials queue for the foundation. i plan to use slip form rock and mortar technology for the barn foundation.
i'll document my efforts as we make progress.
this is the new millet hay from tabitha's father. they seem to like it. i have them off the upper paddocks to get some grass growing there.
henry checking on his chickens.
everything seems to be in order.
the cat agrees.
hey girls.
well done.
this is our old retired chicken tractor.
i need to tear it apart.
moon flowers are loving this weather.
this okra is crazy and tabitha is done canning.
it has been a long canning season.

That is a nice Japanese garden in Springfield. It's certainly as good as the one I've seen in Seattle and Brooklyn, but the best one I've ever seen is in St. Louis.
- Beau said...
I've not been to that Japanese garden- glad to know about it. And great little Ginko!
- Homesteading Mama said...
Being in Florida, okra is about the only green veggie we get all summer. So, I have yet to have enough for us to eat everyday and still have some to preserve, but I hear okra pickles are fabulous. I can imagine how much canning you did this summer, but one more round may be worth it.
- Shannon said...
Hey there 'Pile', I didn't know if you are aware of an online sharing group called freecycle.org. I belong to a group here in Georgia and have given things and received also. It's a great site and here you join based on your county of residence so nothing offered is ever too far. I hope this helps and I want you to know how much I enjoy reading your blog. I look forward to it every time I log in. Thank you.
- karl said...
pablo, next time we go to st. louis we'll likely go to the japanese garden there. it will be in december so we'll probably go four months after that for the following appointment.
beau, it is very beautiful. you'd love it.
homesteading mama, we already have tons of okra up and tabitha has started homeschool. her time is at a premium. we'll let this go to seed and save it for next year.
shannon, freecycle is great we use it frequently. it was especially good when we lived in alameda ca. it is a wonderful resource everyone should use it.
- warren said...
I am super excited to see your use of slip form rock and mortar technology. I have read lots about it, but I figure your description/experience will be superb!
- Leigh said...
Oh, you have a ginkgo tree! And at a bargain price. What a blessing. I am planning to plant one this fall.

Creating a Legacy of Women Leaders
A little over 20 years ago, I achieved one of my life goals when I graduated from the School of Communication at East Carolina University (ECU). At ECU, I felt engaged and empowered by the many opportunities for leadership development provided through involvement in student government, the Expressions magazine and by serving on various campus committees. My ECU experience was further enhanced by off-campus activities like working in the Greenville community to elect the city's first African American mayor, and holding down a third shift job at Pitt Memorial Hospital in the Pathology Laboratory. ECU created a practice ground and helped me to value the intersection of educational training, the importance of giving back to the university and of making an impact on the community.
As the new chair of the Women's Roundtable at ECU, I am provided another opportunity to put my education, time, talents and resources to support our great institution and its exceptional students. Thanks for visiting our website. If you are not a member of the Women's Roundtable, I hope you will join now!
The Women's Roundtable is a unifying organization that seeks to elevate and encourage leadership and philanthropy by women. Through its network of women graduates and friends of the university, the Women's Roundtable is building a deeper volunteer pool of women for leadership roles at ECU, providing networking opportunities for women and raising funds for ECU's Access Scholarship program and endowed scholarships for students.
One of our overarching goals is to connect with and support the 70,000 plus living female graduates of ECU. Our vision is to continue to help women to contribute to the legacy of ECU. This tradition of leadership was started by many women who came before us such as Laura Leary, the first African American student to be enrolled full-time at ECU and Janice Faulkner, a leader of excellence on the campus and in the state. We proudly stand on their shoulders.
We believe in the power of women to impact, in dynamic and sustainable ways, other women's lives and our students, our university and the broader community. If you share this belief, come join us!

Chevrolet COPO Camaro 2014
Americans are crazy about drag racing. Who is victorious on the quarter mile, must necessarily happy about a lot of fame. This is no different today than in the late 1960s, in which the legendary COPO Camaro was built only for one purpose: the Ford Mustang or the Plymouth Barracuda to show on the quarter mile strip the taillights. Now it lives the once so successful concept with the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Copo again.
Review: 1967 Chevrolet dealer Don Yenko sees good prospects for a Camaro that has to enter with a particularly powerful engine on the quarter mile the competition into the ground. As a suitable power source for this project sees the seven-liter L-72 V8 engine from the Corvette, for the 6.5-liter L-78 engine of the former Chevrolet Camaro SS must go.
However, the car may not start for Chevrolet on the quarter mile, as it is not a self-converted by the factory race cars. So the car maker Don Yenkos accesses idea and installed easily even the 428-hp Corvette engine in the Camaro. This COPO (Central Office Production Order) called special version may officially participate for the manufacturer to drag race. Chevrolet saw the success and 1969 with Yenko, agreed on collaboration. At the customer's COPO package is well received, which also contains the matching tires, appropriate safety equipment and other performance features beside the engine.
By 2014, Chevrolet again grown on a limited small series of COPO Camaros, but in which the customers can choose from several engine options. It is revised racing engine versions of the LS engine. Chevrolet offers for its quarter-mile racer naturally aspirated variants with displacements ranging from 350 cubic inches (cui; 5.7 liter), 396 cui (6.5 liter) or even 427 cui (7.0 liter to). The 5.7-liter unit can also charge with a screw compressor made by Whipple. Performance Chevrolet named yet, but one can assume that the Chevrolet COPO Camaro is very good standing in the feed.
Each COPO Camaro turns by hand in the quarter-mile racer. The racer brings factory alongside other security equipment as a roll cage, has a racing chassis, and custom chassis components. The main difference compared to the serial Camaro: While the road cars are on the road with independent suspension on the rear axle, the makers of the COPO Camaro miss a rear rigid axle.
Visually, the Chevrolet Camaro COPO stands out due to the extreme air scoop on the hood and its huge wheels along with balloon tires. In addition, the designers adapted the race car to the look of the current model year. The COPO version has the front and the rear of the 2014 streets Camaros.
The serial number 1 provides Chevrolet in January 2014 for a good cause. The car comes with an event of the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction house, Arizona, under the hammer. The revenue is the benefit "Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans", an organization that takes care of US soldiers wounded in the war.

Duck fat fries with cheese sauce, lobster mac with Fontina and mascarpone, and a chocolate shake are a few of the offerings. Then there's the Whiskey King ten-ounce burger, a behemoth bathed in maple bourbon glaze and topped with bacon and blue cheese. Weekend brunch is similarly filling, with such dishes as bacon-cheddar biscuits with gravy and a short-rib skillet with duck-fat potato hash and a poached egg. A vast selection of more than 80 browns, from single malts to peaty imports, gives the restaurant its name.

Pair your résumé with a fabulous cover letter and employers will take note. Cover letters, or letters of interest, shoulder important responsibilities in a job search. Cover letters allow you to pique employer interest differently from résumés. Résumés are lists that tersely detail your professional and academic credentials. Cover letters are stories. Letters are where you tell a tale of your desire to work for the target employer and where you introduce how your experiences have readied you for success with the organization.
Think letters don't matter? Employers say they do. A recruiter with a large law firm shared, "We've begun requesting cover letters during fall recruitment season. All of the applicants' résumés we see are very similar: top of the class, moot court, and law review. The cover letters are where applicants distinguish themselves, making it easier for us to select students for screening interviews."
Small firms echo a similar emphasis on cover letters. A hiring partner noted, "Writing is an essential tool of our trade. If a student can't write three solid paragraphs about why they want to work for me and why I should hire them, I doubt their ability to convince a court of anything."
Standing naked on a résumé, the value of your past experiences may not be obviously relevant to employers. Take advantage of letters to dress your achievements and experiences with a compelling case for your candidacy. Draft letters establishing your interest in and knowledge of the receiving employer and introduce your candidacy in terms that will resonate with the reader.

Best of Week
I've worked with disabled children and 'normal' children from
low socioeconomic areas in public school settings. I often compare
the educational facilities provided for both groups, and the disabled
children certainly seem to receive the best educational resources and
most support. Unfortunately, many of the 'normal' children become
lost in the educational system, fall behind in their schoolwork and
develop behavioral problems. It's very disheartening to see potential
go to waste. I often feel it would be better if this situation were
reversed and the normal children received the 'special' education.
The achievments of the disabled children rarely amount to much, so
would it really matter if they received a substandard education?
K., Sydney, NA, Australia, 22, Female, Atheist,
White/Caucasian, Straight, Educator, 4 Years of College, Middle
class, Mesg ID 616200264703
First, a lot of the money in the special education budget does go to
children of normal or even above-average abilities who happen to have
physical, behavioral or emotional disabilities. Two of my children
received services, although they are of normal intelligence. This
clearly differs from school system to school system, and we were
lucky. That being said, there is some merit to your question. Our
oldest son (who is physically disabled, by the way) is a special
education teacher, and in his first teaching job his major work was
to change diapers, wipe drool and touch the students with interesting
textures. One might well ask what, aside from eliciting the
occasional gurgle from one of his charges, was the point. I suppose
it comes down to compassion, which by definition doesn't have
well-defined boundaries.
Jerry S., New Britain, CT, United States, 54, Male, Jewish,
White/Caucasian, Straight, 4 Years of College, Upper middle class,
Mesg ID 729200215340
I cannot believe that you worked with special needs children and
still have the impression that their achievements don't count for
much. I know it wasn't the point of the question, but I was very
offended. I hope that my little brother's teacher doesn't hold the
same view as you do.
Julia, Arlington, VA, United States, Female, Mesg ID 731200215108
Why do young men and women choose to decorate themselves,
particularly their faces, with multiple piercings and tattoos? If a
person is very attractive, why mar the natural beauty with holes and
ink? If a person is not as beautiful (according to society's
standards) why draw added attention to their face and at the same
time permanently mark it? Isn't any consideration given to the future
problems one encounters when it comes time to find good
Pattya, Springville, CA, United States, Mesg ID
I can agree with you in terms of why people decide to decorate
themselves, facial or otherwise, with piercings and tattoos. I am not
a fan of tongue piercing because it just doesn't look right. I have
tolerated it and just ignored it when I see it on other people. Then,
of course, there is also the argument of being an individual and
standing out among the crowd, and doing your own thing. Well, if you
are getting ink done or having something pierced to stand out, it's
going to look like nobody is unique, because a good majority of
people, male and female, have ink and have piercings. It's not what
the tattoo looks like or where you got it pierced, it's the principle
of the act. I have no ink done, nor anything pierced, because as I
get older, I will realize that what I had done in my youth was
disgusting and wild and crazy. Imagine an 80-year-old lady with a
whole bunch of holes in her ears, face, etc., and faded ink on
wrinkling skin. Now see if your grandchildren don't bug out when they
see that. Regarding people who mark their faces: again, no need to
speak of freedom and individuality because everyone else has
something pierced or tattooed as well. For my age I am somewhat old
school when it comes to the way someone looks. I don't like the whole
one million dragons, old English letters of a last name, and other
figures scrawled all over the human body. Although I do understand it
is what makes the personality of the person, doesn't the character of
that person make them who they are? In terms of the whole employment
thing, I doubt these people with their noses pierced and chains
connecting it to their nipples, ears, etc., are looking into working
in the arena of corporate life. They will have to settle for jobs
that allow such things as that
Chris, Los Angeles, CA, United States, 25, Male, Asian, Sales
Rep., 4 Years of College, Middle class, Mesg ID 729200251540
As far as tattoos on the face, unless you are a tattoo artist, I
can see where that might be looked at as a little strange, but
regarding tattoos on the rest of the body, this is something that
been done for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years. You make
assumptions about people's motivations to get them ('to stand out')
without really having any idea of what their motivation is. There are
a million reasons someone might get a tattoo: to memorialize someone,
to express something or simply because they like them. I am 27 and
have what would be considered by most a lot of tattoos, especially
for a female. I have a college degree, am working on my master's and
am a research scientist. I have never had problems finding a job, and
I wear a business suit every day to work. I don't take drugs, I'm not
a criminal, I'm not a deviant ... I just happen to like tattoos. To
me, they are a way of accentuating beauty. If you don't like them,
don't get them.. But I don't see what it is that YOU need to
'tolerate' because of a piercing or tattoo that someone else has. Why
should you care?
Danielle, Southern, NJ, United States, 27, Female,
White/Caucasian, Over 4 Years of College, Middle class, Mesg ID
It's all a matter of personal taste. I was attracted to my
girlfriend in part because of some body piercings she has. She is in
a career field that allows her to make an excellent living with a
couple of piercings, so it is not an issue there. This same debate
was probably had at some point when people first pierced their ears.
Jackie, Adams, RI, United States, 29, Male, Computer Related, 4
Years of College, Upper middle class, Mesg ID 730200281833
I'm not so sure about the 'individuality' thing anymore. The
majority of my friends are marked up and strolling through Hollywood
and elsewhere, and half of everyone and their cousin have tattoos and
piercings in some form or another. And have you noticed many
similarities? Dragons, Kanji lettering, barbed wire, stars (half the
kids in Hollywood have a star on themselves somewhere), 'tribal'
designs (uh,what tribe was that, again?); it's beginning to get
cliched. I think some originality is in order. In some cases
tattooing can enhance the body's beauty by accentuating it. However,
some tattoos just look like crap because they're cheaply done or
ill-thought-out. If done properly and kept up, they'll be maintained
in age, providing that the person follows proper skin care guidelines
and goes in every several years for a touch up. I suggest that
'timeless' or 'highly unique' designs are the best bet, because that
ultra-trendy floral armband you got as a sorority girl is going to be
a laughing matter in 20 years. Also, if you don't want it to affect
your career choices, make sure it can be covered up with a
shortsleeve t-shirt. People who get full sleeves and mark up their
hands and necks are pretty much 'black-marked' for life. As for
piercings, I've bounced a few mosh pits and have witnessed or been
told about many a fight, and that would be why I'll never get any.
Dan, Los Angeles, CA, United States, 23, Male, Pentecostal,
Hispanic/Latino (may be any race), Student, 4 Years of College, Lower
middle class, Mesg ID 7312002113927
Why do women talk so much? I've been all over the world and
this seems to be a common denominator of all women. Especially when
they talk to other women. I don't think men could ever understand it.
Also, do women think that sometimes their talking is annoying to
others who happen to be nearby, such as on a train? Do they think
that when they talk everybody thinks their conversation is
Chetan, Philadelphia, PA, United States, 30, Male, Asian, Mesg
Women bond by
communicating, whereas men tend to use speech only to exchange
information. We are also more interested in finding similarities with
the people we are talking to. We want to be like the people we are
talking to. The people I'm talking to do find what I'm saying
interesting, or they wouldn't continue to talk to me. And I find them
interesting. On a train or bus or something, it doesn't matter who
you're sitting next to, you're not going to be interested in their
conversation, so I generally try to keep the volume low and go on
with my business. What's my other option, to sit in bored silence and
wait until I have a deserted area to talk to somebody?
Kerry, Ventura, CA,
United States, 32, Female, Wiccan, White/Caucasian, Gay, Stagehand,

To men: Why do some of you make an attempt to cover your
balding heads with a 'comb-over'? This style does not fool anyone,
and you all would look much more attractive if you would get a decent
haircut. My current gentleman friend reacted like I asked him to cut
off his you-know-what when I suggested he would look much better if
he changed his style.
Jo, Ft. Wayne, IN, United States, 53, Female, White/Caucasian,
Straight, Programmer, 2 Years of College, Upper middle class, Mesg ID
We all want to look our
best, and at our age (over 50) most of us have come to the conclusion
that 'we can't please everybody, so we please ourselves.' If you love
him, don't ask him to change. If you don't love him, why should he
change for you? Love him for who he is on the inside. My
'combed-over' husband also wears tan shorts, white socks and a gray
shirt on a typical trip to the store. I try laying out matching
clothes, but when he says 'these are good enough,' I just smile and
put my selections back in the closet.

Regarding the recent Arizona forest fire: I saw on the news an
Indian spokesperson describing the devastation to the Navajo nation.
The spokesperson demanded the culprit be caught and brought to trial.
As we now know, a member of the Navajo nation intentionally started
the blaze. A second fire, a signal fire started by a woman lost in
the wilderness, later merged with the first fire. Here is what
bothers me: After it was reported that a member of the Navajo nation
started the first fire, another Navajo spokesperson begged for
understanding and sympathy for the tribe member. A few days later,
these same people went public wanting the woman who started the
signal fire charged with a crime. If I were lost and dying of thirst,
I'd start a signal fire. What are these people thinking? If they want
sympathy for a tribe member who started a fire out of greed, where is
the sympathy for a desperate and very thirsty white woman?
Tad B., Fairfield, OH, United States, 47, Male,
White/Caucasian, Middle class, Mesg ID 728200295107
Why do some people with physical disabilities get offended when
I try to help them with a task I think they might struggle with? It
upsets me when they get all offensive and mad at me for being
Vanessa, Chicago, IL, United States, 20, Female, Catholic,
Hispanic/Latino (may be any race), Straight, student, Mesg ID
What is it with teenagers not being able to behave in a public
place, be it the train (jumping around and making noise), the theater
(trying to see who can be the last to clap when applause for a song
is over) or a store (making fun of all the merchandise)? Is the peer
pressure to act cool and daring that strong now?
Sarah C., San Francisco, CA, United States, 24, Female,
Agnostic, Asian, Over 4 Years of College, Upper middle class, Mesg ID
Why is it that Corporate America seems to have given the edge
to hiring minorities over white males? Everywhere you look, there is
a disproportionate number of minorities being represented by
Corporate America.
Adam R., North Chicago, IL, United States, 42, Male, Catholic,
White/Caucasian, Bisexual, Accountant, 4 Years of College, Middle
class, Mesg ID 720200262820
Yep, and it's a damn
shame, too! I think that all the hype over Affirmative Action in the
'90s opened the way for people to sue companies because they thought
they didn't get hired 'because of their ethnic background,' so rather
than getting slapped with a lawsuit, many companies are biting the
bullet and hiring too many minorities who might be un- or
under-qualified. This also is happening in the academic community. A
friend of mine was passed over for a placement in a PhD. program
because she wasn't black. She was even told that they chose the other
woman because of her color. The sad thing is that these two women
were friends and knew each other's scores. My friend's were higher,
yet they chose the black candidate. Personally, I would feel slighted
if I were given a position within any setting because they were
trying to fill a quota.
Mary, Philadelphia, PA,
United States, 28, Female, Methodist, White/Caucasian, Straight,
social work, 4 Years of College, Middle class, Mesg ID
Corporate America (and
colleges) are representative of a society that has decided that the
problem of hiring/admitting on the basis of race and gender can be
rectified by hiring on the basis of race and gender (affirmative
action/pro-diversity/quotas) Unfortunately, many white males with
talent may get overlooked, and minorities/females with talent may be
viewed as tokens. As a female who could 'benefit' from such policies,
I find it disgusting that any success that comes from all my hard
work and dedication will be viewed solely as a result of preferential
treatment. I don't want to be denied employment because I am female,
but I definitely don't want to be hired because I'm female. I think
ability, experience, character and education should be the only
determining factors for employers.
Jay, New York, NY,
United Kingdom, Female, White/Caucasian, Middle class, Mesg ID
I am heavily involved
in the diversity push at the global electronic giant I work for. I
find your premise without support in my company. There is plenty of
diversity in the lower levels of 'corporate,' but that mix does not
extend to the upper echelons. The diversity 'glass ceiling' is still
firmly in place. The only goal at this company is to have a mix that
is representative of the available work force, no quota system. Seems
fair enough to me. I would theorize that you are seeing a mix of
ethnicity and gender where there used to be none at all, so any
change seems drastic. The 'white male hegemony' is going the way of
the Jurassic Age.
Mark B., Dallas, TX,

I think this situation
is overstated and false. Whites face far more competition from other
whites than from black people. There are relatively few of us (12
percent of population), and we are also under-represented in
colleges. But I think the most obvious proof that affirmative action
is not giving blacks an unfair advantage is that we still have a
higher unemployment rate and we're still under-represented in
academia. Affirmative action has benefited white females more than
any other group (look up education and employment stats from 1960 to
present on this site: http://w3.access.gpo.gov/eop/ca/index.html) So
people should question who's the real target with the attacks on
affirmative action.

I agree with Mary's
response. Affirmative action has made businesses nervous. What a
shame that people seek every opportunity to 'sue' to gain something
for nothing more then hurt feelings. What ever happened to 'the best
person qualified'? I guess prejudice got in the way of good sense on
both ends of the spectrum. White Man's Burden, a movie from some time
ago with John Travolta, is worth watching. It could make a white boss
really take a new perspective of his own character.

I assume you are
referring to affirmative action in Corporate America. Fundamentally,
the intent of affirmative action was to depress the tightly
controlled networks of privileged white males who monopolized the
good jobs and influential positions in U.S. society. That being said,
arbitrary racism and exclusion that is institutionalized in
education, health care, housing and employment cannot be overcome by
affirmative action. The legacy dwarfs the policy by far. So what are
you crying about? That African Americans might struggle to reach 10
percent representation on major college campuses and corporations?
That is far from a black takeover.

Yeah, and look what
happened at Enron, World Com and Arthur Anderson because of all them
damn minorities they hired!
E.D., Kansas City, MO,
United States, 46, Female, Black/African American, Mesg ID
Your post is a perfect
example of how in the United States today subtle racism is
encouraged. No. 1, why should you care if minorities are getting
hired more than whites? If you view them as human beings first and
not people who happened to have different physical features than you,
it shouldn't matter. There shouldn't even be a thought to
'disporportion' in comparison to how many white males are hired.
Minorities are no less deserving of a position in Corporate America
than any white man. Second, you seem to not be very realistic. Most
companies in the United States are predominantly white because our
country is predominantly white. And companies that are more lenient
to hiring more minorities usually find non-white human beings that
are of high quality. For example, Asian Americans are entering
Corporate America in higher numbers, but their intelligence and work
ethic are often higher than many white males. This is also the case
for African Americans seeking jobs in Corporate America. The media
wants to stereotype blacks as getting certain jobs because of their
skin color, but it isn't true. Check out the resume of a minority
employee (especially a black person) in Corporate America, and you
most likely will see outstanding credentials. Affirmative action
helps get many (especially blacks) through the door for an interview,
but their own merits get them hired. Those who think differently
struggle with subtle racism and cannot judge a minority in an honest
light because they are clouded by their own misguided perceptions.

A classmate told me white people's butts are so flat because
during slavery they sat on them all day doing nothing, while black
people worked all the time. I agree, but I want to know if any white
or black people have ever heard of this.

What I have heard has
nothing to do with the flatness of white people's butts, but rather
why they look flat compared to black people's. As I understand it,
the larger black butt is due to the fact it was used as a water
storage location needed to sustain life in the harsh hot climates of
Africa. It is left over from that. With respect to white butts: yeah,
I guess white people have had more opportunity to sit down and work
while the labors of slaves was that of hard field work, very physical
in nature. Also, not all whites have flat butts. It just depends on
the genetic background.

After 40,000 postings, Y? thought it had seen and heard it all until
receiving this question and response...
Talk about a blatantly
provocative post. I assume you are aware that the majority of white
people didn't own slaves? That the majority were poor and worked
their asses off as much as anyone else? Obviously, having their
freedom, their situation was infinitely better than that of enslaved
people, but please, you really think that every single Caucasian in
the States at that time was a wealthy landowner whose only exercise
was to occasionally arise from his chair to beat his slaves? You do
neither yourself nor those who share the same heritage any favors by
spouting ill-informed revisionist 'history' around the place.

C'mon Lisa. You can't
possibly be serious. I have never heard of this theory before,
neither in earnest nor in distasteful jest. Even if the greater
likelihood of white people to have 'flat' bottoms could be researched
and quantified well enough to be called a biological fact, the
evolution of such a trait would have taken thousands of years, at
least. So the slavery idea is impossible as well as silly.

Surely that is a joke
(and on a surface level, a bit funny). Only a small percentage of
'whites' have ever owned slaves (I'd venture to say, historically
speaking, more had probably been on the slavery end; just look at
early European history). Hell, German companies have paid reparations
for using Polish slave labor during World War II, and I don't see any
difference in the size of their butts. So that doesn't make a whole
lot sense. Also, slavery is not entirely a 'white' vs. 'black' issue;
history is awash with stories of people enslaving each other, of all
cultures and races.

I am a black female and
am embarrassed by the tone of your question. It is so ignorant and
racist. I'm sure you already know there are many differences between
the races and that Europeans and Africans have different body
structures, hair textures, etc. However, your question reads more
like slander than a question seeking an intelligent response.

I have to admit, I've

it; I've seen many white women with enormous rears. And by the way;
not all whites have slavery in their past. My family, though white,
were poorly treated servants. Slaves, no. But they certainly didn't
sit on their keesters. Just thought I would clarify.

If this were true -
that a way of life 300 years ago would manifest as physical changes -
then wouldn't African Americans' brains be underdeveloped,
considering the lack of 'work' their brains were required to do
during slavery? The statement could also be reversed - that white
people work so hard that they burn off all excess body fat, whereas
African Americans do so little work that they retain all of their
body fat. These, of course, are riduculous statements, to mirror you
ridiculous question

After reading some of
the other responses to this post, I think Lisa was unfairly accused
of trying to start trouble because she stated a fact of U.S. history
that some just deny. The truth is many whites did own blacks as
slaves to avoid doing arduous labor. So this statement I do not have
a problem with. However, one cannot say they developed flat bottoms
solely on this premise. The size of one's bottom is due to genes and
racial 'evolution.' U.S. blacks have been a suffering and starving
people, so their bodies began to store extra fat wherever it could to
help protect itself during tough times. Notice how I said U.S.
blacks. I have noticed that African blacks seem to be skinnier than
black Americans. Their bottoms still seem to be bigger than the
average white person's, but they are definitely smaller than African
Americans. So diet is also a factor to keep in mind.

If your comment had any
merit, there would be a large percentage of black Africans who would
have flat butts. There are many more blacks in Africa today who own
black slaves than there were whites who owned slaves.

No question is a dumb
question, but Lisa, yours is ludicrous. As someone pointed out in one
of the responses, there is a scientific explanation: evolution. What
shocks me the most about this post is the responses by the grown men
and women of the forum. Adults are supposedly the wisest and most
mature of the human population, yet they have unjustly vilified a
16-year-old high school student for asking a question, one that has
an uncanny resemblance to those of her white counterparts at Y?
Forum. For instance, white people have asked 'dumb' questions like:
why are all black people afraid of dogs, why are all black people in
gangs, why do black folks riot when they don't get their way, how
come they are afraid of water and why do they all shake their heads
and snap their fingers when they talk? In my opinion, these are the
most foolish questions asked in the entire race/ethnicity section. In
spite of such ignorance, I have never responded by telling those who
posted them to drop out of school and get pregnant!

Obviously the person
who told you that must be on some type of drug. What they fail to
realize is the size of behinds of any people relates to genetics of
the parents. Where the idea about white slave owners sitting on their
rears all day while the slaves worked in the fields comes from I have
no idea. What you need to do is clear up the facts with whoever told
you such an absurd notion. Before you inquire about such things as
what this person told you, ask other people to see if they

referring to Brahmin, etc., and just wanted a better
Kenya E., Atlanta,
GA, United States, 25, Female, Christian, Black/African American,
Straight, Over 4 Years of College, Middle class, Mesg ID
What is strange is that India was and is a melting pot of races, and
yet Hinduism has one of the most elaborate racist systems called the
caste system. First, in most places there are four castes and the
Outcastes. The first caste was the Brahmin. This was the priestly
caste, the top caste. Only they had access to the holy books. They
normally tend to be fairer and taller (depends upon the region).
Second, we have the Ksatriyas, who were the warrior class (the class
I belong to). They were the kings, generals, ministers of state.
Third, we have the Vaishyas, the merchants, artisans. And the lowest
castes were the Shudras. The shudras tend to be darker. They were the
lowest servants. Finally the Outcastes. They stayed outside cities.
In some regions like Rajasthan, Gujrat (people whose ancestors came
as Scythins from Russian Crimea during the time of Alexander the
Great), interracial/ethnic unions are normally opposed by our ancient
holy books (one of the oldest in the world). The upper castes tended
to be cruel - cruelty which would put a slave owner in the South to
shame. If a lower-caste person would touch an upper-caste, the
upper-caste (Brahmin, Ksatriyas) would have to take a bath. If a
Shudra would try to marry an upper caste, he/she would be tortured
(including putting nails down their throat, etc). Today Shudras who
are behind economically have been helped by the government in jobs
and education, which many people in the upper castes consider unfair.
Many Shudars (25 percent of South Asia, a huge number because more
people live in India than the United States and Africa combined)
converted to Christianity or Buddhism to escape the caste system. I
have no idea about the racial origins of this. The Hindu nationalists
like the VHP, RSS, etc. say we are all the same race, maybe so it can
justify themselves in some way. Many studies have shown that the
upper castes were nearer to Europeans especially Eastern Europeans,
while the lower castes were similar to Australian
Aboriginals/Papuans. One study in a state called Andhra Pradesh found
that some lower-caste groups were related to Africans. Another claims
Indians have a lot of similarity to East Asians and that India is the
buffer zone between Caucasoids and Mongoloids. The Nazi concept that
the invading Aryans were completely blond, blue-eyed Nordics is been
refuted in most places, though green/fair eyes are present among many
Brahmin communities and in Afghanistan/North Pakistan. Besides,
blond, blue-eyed mummies were found in the Indo-Tibetan border. But
again, many Brahmins were shown as dark-haired. But because my
knowledge of this is limited, I cannot surely say, but it is safe to
say that Indians as a whole have a lot of similarity with Caucasians,
and most Indians consider themselves Caucasians (but not white
Caucasians). However, the caste system has kind of disappeared. I
hope it is confined to history and that Hinduism can forget this bad
past. In some backward places it is still strong, but I hope that
will not be for long.

King County prosecutors contend Jeffrey Robertson exposed himself to the woman shortly before 7 a.m. on Aug. 21 while stuck in traffic in downtown Seattle. Robertson, 43, has been charged with felony indecent exposure.
Speaking with police, the woman claimed the incident was actually the third time Robertson had exposed himself to her in recent months. According to charging papers, the woman said Robertson appeared to slow his car each time to pull alongside the bus near the intersection of 9th Avenue and Stewart Street.
Concerned she was somehow being targeting by strange man, the woman called 911 and reported the black Volvo station wagon's license plate number. According to charging papers, the woman provided photos and video showing Robertson in the act.
Police then contacted Robertson, who said he was "confident" he was not involved in the incident.
A criminal record check showed Robertson had been caught 18 years before masturbating outside a sorority house window at the University of Washington. He was charged and ultimately pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor.
The woman told police Robertson on each occasion parked in a loading zone on the block, and then pulled into traffic as the bus approached. Stopped next to the bus, she continued, Robertson rolled down his passenger window while masturbating.
Recounting an interview with the woman, a Seattle detective said she reported seeing Robertson's car approach another bus.
The driver, she said, is "clearly looking at the bus to see who is looking at him and who will gaze down to look in his car."
"I would hate if a child was sitting in the seat I was in," the woman told police.
The woman went on to say that Robertson was "in full salute" on each occasion, and seemed to be masturbating.
The detective contacted Robertson a second time on Sept. 12, and presented him with a photo taken by the woman. Police contend Robertson previously claimed not to have been in the area when the photo was taken.
Writing the court, the detective said Robertson then admitted to repeatedly exposing himself to bus passengers.
Claiming public masturbation is not a "hobby" of his, Robertson said he had "dealt with this before" and that the allegations were a "wake-up call," the detective told the court.
"I asked Robertson if this behavior was a 'turn on,' or if it was a 'thrill,'" the detective said in court papers. "Robertson responded that he didn't mean to 'alarm' the bus passengers."
According to the detective, Robertson acknowledged that, because it was "early in the morning," there were probably better ways for him to spend his time. Robertson is alleged to have told the detective he believes he is now "100 percent" in control of his actions.
Robertson has been charged with felony indecent exposure. He has not been jailed in the case.

DeWine to speak at GOP dinner

Democrats started these judicial wars way back when, and then accelerated them during Bush's terms. I think our current president also voted to fillibuster one of Bush's Supreme Court nominee's. What goes around comes around, and eventually icing the 60 vote threshold for these judges will come back and haunt the Dems too.

President Obama nominated three qualified people to the three vacancies on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, Senate Republicans put up a coordinated front of righteous indignation, accusing the president of trying to "pack" the court to "rubber-stamp" his agenda. This act was somewhat hard to believe coming from a party that less than a decade ago successfully pushed to confirm George W. Bush's nominees to the very same seats. The cries of "court-packing" were also a little bit undermined by the fact that Senate Republicans had allowed just one of President Obama's nominees to be confirmed to the court, in contrast to four of Bush's nominees and eight of Reagan's. Compared to Bush's full two terms 91 % of his judicial nominees were confirmed. Obama is not even to the middle of his second term yet and senate Republicans have blocked 24% of his judicial nominees leaving him with success rate of only 76% compared to Bush's 91% after 8 full years in office. These are facts.

Elise Worthington, 25, opts to have double mastectomy to prevent breast cancer
- From: The Courier-Mail
- May 08, 2014
IT is the most courageous decision a young woman can make.
At only 25 years of age, Elise Worthington has decided she will undergo a double mastectomy after being confronted with a 60 to 80 per cent chance of developing breast cancer.
Ms Worthington said she had spoken out about her agonising decision after becoming frustrated with long waiting times in the public health system and a lack of information and statistics for women like her who discover they have the BRCA1 cancer gene.
Her comments come only days after the death from ovarian cancer of Gold Coast woman Elisha Neave, 36, who made the decision not to undergo preventive surgery after she was found to carry the BRCA2 gene.
"Living with a choice between the constant angst of six monthly scans to detect breast cancer early or irreversibly changing my body by removing my breasts at such a young age hasn't been easy,'' Ms Worthington told ABC's The Drum.
Ms Worthington said cancer had "stalked my family for generations'', with her grandmother diagnosed with breast cancer at 40 and her mum currently in remission from advanced ovarian cancer.
She has also been told she has a 40 per cent chance of developing ovarian cancer in the future, and is planning to have her ovaries removed after she has children.
Ms Worthington — an ABC journalist in Brisbane — said her decision had prompted a mixed response from some friends who had questioned why she would undergo the procedure so young or why she would forever change her body if she may never get sick.
"After this operation I won't be able to breastfeed my (future) children, part of me will be foreign, cold and numb and it can't be undone.''
The decision by actress Angelina Jolie to speak out about her decision to undergo a double mastectomy last year after being told she carried BRCA1 saw referrals to familial cancer centres more than double.
Ms Worthington said more awareness and support was needed for women in her situation, to help them make the agonising choice between surgery or the risk of developing cancer. This included improved access for women to genetic counselling and financial help with medical procedures.
"I saw a private genetics counsellor and psychologist after being told there was a 12-month waiting list at my local public genetic health service,'' she said.
Her calls for more assistance for women in her situation have received the support of Pink Hope founder Krystal Barter, 30, who went through a double mastectomy herself six years ago.
"It is a very complex decision process and we need to help girls like Elise to navigate this, and help them with their anxiety,'' she said.
"When you see a story like Elisha, it breaks your heart because you look at her and you think that could be me.
"But once you have this surgery, you can't return to the person you were before — it changes you.''
Cancer Council Queensland spokeswoman Katie Clift said less than 5 per cent of all breast and ovarian cancers were due to inherited abnormalities in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene.
"If a woman has inherited a change in one of these genes, she has a higher chance of breast or ovarian cancer but that doesn't mean she's certain to get cancer,'' she said.

I found a 29 page document on the Government of Alberta transportation site listing all the proposed highway construction for the next 3 years.
As I've been going through it, it's been interesting to note how many highways I've cycled ... and how many construction plans I completely agree with! I've been going through this list and thinking, "Yep, that stretch of road definitely needs work." and "I'm so glad to see that bit of road on the list."
There's nothing like the perspective of a cyclist for picking out good and bad stretches of road.
I just wish they could finish it all up in the next 3 weeks instead of the next 3 years ... that would be GREAT!!

This project addresses an experimental and theoretical study of the synthesis and properties of nanostructures that have multiple doped regions that are in contact with regions of different doping, in silicon-germanium (SiGe) based materials. The goal is to identify mechanisms governing the formation of nanostructures that are doped with shallow acceptors, in contact with regions having shallow donors, and the underlying transport and radiative transitions between localized and resonant states, the band continuum, and between other doped regions on the nanoscale. This research seeks to understand how the synthesis of doped SiGe nanostructures depends on interfaces, composition, strain, and neighboring dopants. Such multiple doped nanostructures can be formed during molecular beam epitaxy by interrupting growth, changing the dopant type and continuing the growth with another set of nanostructures. The impurities in nanostructures will be characterized by techniques including temperature dependent terahertz radiative emission spectroscopy, current versus voltage measurements, and atomic force microscopy.
If successful, this research will give an improved understanding of dopants in nanoparticles that are surrounded by regions with different dopants, in the SiGe based materials system. This research may have important technological consequences because the understanding of doping in structures is pivotal to the operation of devices and circuits.
