Okay, so on this site I have noticed two different opinions regarding dating. I know DancinDoc and EEK are both for dating around, but on the other hand I know a lot of people consider exclusivity to be a better idea. So I wanted to create a thread for both sides of the table to toss around pros and cons of the other.
I honestly do understand both sides of the argument, but perhaps the rest of you can present some facet that the rest of us haven't thought of yet.
Why is dating around the way to go at a young age? Or why stay exclusive?
Tell me what you all think.

The government has been blamed for allowing medical doctors working in its hospitals to operate private clinics, thereby creating conflict of interest which compromised services to the public.
Debating the budget estimates for the ministry of Health and Social Welfare Kisesa Member of Parliament Luhaga Mpina said the government allowed the medical doctors to establish private hospitals and clinics but has failed to supervise and control them.
"This is a good thing but some doctors have been misusing the opportunity by failing to treat well the patients in public hospitals and instead direct them to go to their private hospitals," Mpina said.
He said some doctors have been using the screening devices in public hospitals for their patients and later offer them treatment at their hospitals.
Mpina also noted that some doctors have similar screening equipment in their hospitals, creating the possibility of sabotaging them so that the patients go to their hospitals.
"Most private hospitals depend on doctors from public hospitals, entering into contracts with them …this situation has contributed to the deterioration of services in public hospitals," Mpina said.
The MP however said that the government has been financing the education of specialist doctors but it has left a loophole for them to resign without taking into account that the country has incurred costs to train them. "If the training of a specialist doctor takes more than twelve years at high cost there is a need to give them special contracts which binds them to serve in public hospitals," Mpina said.
He said there were reports that at Muhimbili National Hospital four specialist doctors have resigned after the government gave the go ahead during the recent crisis and are now serving neighbouring countries such as Botswana, asking what measures were being taken to curb the situation.
For his part Karatu MP Israel Natse Karatu questioned the credibility of the Medical Store Department in distributing medicines, equipment and reagents.
He said the rate of drug expiry has been rising in recent years.
"This is unacceptable...last year drugs worth 4.2bn/- were destroyed after expiring, while there were no drugs in most public hospitals," he said.
Natse said MSD has set up 80 percent of expiry time of the drugs purchased but it has continued to import drugs below the required standard.
"If MSD has failed to deliver it should be dissolved because people are complaining of shortage of drugs. Yet these are rotting in its warehouses," he insisted.
Special Seats MP (Chadema), Anna MaryStella Mallac, said that health service providers were facing communication difficulties, especially when a doctor had an emergency patient who was supposed to be referred.
In some cases the doctor was required to walk up to three kilometres to communicate with the hospital where the patient is being referred," Mallac said.
Mbeya Urban legislator Joseph Mbilinyi complained over the health charges at Mbeya referral hospital, saying that low income earners could not afford them.

A bowl becomes a dome
Materials: Blanda bowl, door knob
Description: A small burrow was made very slowly by a drill into the middle of the bowl's bottom for the knob. Good idea, minor hacking.

Very neat. Will be useful in the summer, keeping the bugs away from the food when dining outside.
DoreenRepliesGlass domes in the summer create local heaven for fungus. Lace domes are much better and can be folded.

Fungus takes 10-12+ hours to grow.....I'm sure most people consume their meal well before that happens.
I think this is an awesome hack and reminds me of the glass cake dome my grandmother had!!
What kind of drill but did you use?
- AnonymousJanuary 26, 2013 7:38 AM
Love this - and I guess you can change the knob (single knobs are cheap/free and there's such a variety), to boost the status of deserts... a cut glass knob for elegant dinner party .. or floral for a girl's birthday cake (display the cake AND not have impatient little fingers in the icing). I recall my Mom 'displayed' desert enticingly on the sideboard so I'd see the reward for eating my vegetables!
ReplyDelete Dear All, thank you for the comments,ideas and pins. The process needs time and tolerance. Use glass specific drill bit, nr 5, work very very slowly. As the bowl warms up stop for some minutes and go on. Next time I may use a strong glue... Otherwise we love it, easy to clean, covers home made cakes or fruits. (It does not work till the cake is hot.) The only problem for me to find a place in my kitchen unit. Regards, Kiki

Apple doles out third iOS 6 beta to developers
Apple has given developers yet another update to iOS 6 ahead of its public release later this year.
This third beta comes 21 days after Apple's last update. Apple provided developers an early taste of the software at its annual developers conference in early June. Several more betas are expected ahead of a release to the general public, which Apple said will come in the fall.
Per MacRumors, the new update comes devoid of a changes list. Developers seeing the over-the-air update on their iOS device simply get the message that it contains "bug fixes and improvements."… Read more

Mumbai Monsoon.
And that reminds me of another city which has a distinctive monsoon - Mumbai.
The rains in Mumbai took me by surprise, to put it mildly. It is an entirely different culture out there. Coming from a place where people take shelter at the hint of a drizzle, here I saw a city that does not stop! What is amazing is the attitude of the -
People. They walk nonchalantly in pouring rain through knee deep water. They cheerily walk into office in casual clothes, drenched to the skin, and then change into formals in the changing rooms, as if it is the most natural thing in the world. They don't put off any business, or any visits. They just treat the rain as a minor inconvenience, and go about their business, unfazed.
Another thing that amazed me is the nature of the -
Rain. Continuous. Sometimes pouring, sometimes drizzling, but raining all the time. Initially, after a day of incessant rain, I said, "God! It's been raining for 24 hours non-stop!" My colleagues rolled their eyes at me with a "You ain't seen nothin' yet" expression. Sure enough, the rains continued round-the-clock for a week! Roads were flooded, trains stopped, but Mumbai went on.
One distinctive feature of the Mumbai monsoon - the ubiquitous -
Tubs. Or buckets. Outside shops and commercial establishments. Where you dump your dripping umbrella, before going in. Very convenient. The watchman doesn't have to take the risk of offending a customer by telling him to deposit his umbrella outside. And the owner of the establishment doesn't have to endure the agony of seeing rainwater dripping over his newly polished floors. But you need to have a knack of depositing your umbrella in just the right place in the tub. If you dump it right in the middle of the tub, then it will get entangled with the other dripping umbrellas, and you will have to move heaven and earth to retrieve it in one piece. Or if you place it on the periphery of the tub, someone, in the process of looking for his dumped-in-the-middle umbrella, will displace yours, and it will land ten feet away from the tub. You have to place it just so. And yes, if you have a distinctive umbrella, and if you place it in the tub all tied and folded, you have a better chance of getting it back. In one piece.
Then of course, is the major matter of -
Shoes. After the first major rain, I tried to skirt puddles daintily, trying to protect my footwear. When I realized that daintiness doesn't really work on the streets of Mumbai, I waded through ankle-deep water, and promptly spoiled my shoes. My room-mates guided me to Andheri to buy footwear suited for the rains. I duly landed in the market, expecting to see cheap plastic monstrosities, and was stupefied to see rack upon rack of "Rainy shoes"(sic), some really elegant. I bought a cool brown pair, which served me beautifully even as .. um... non-Rainy shoes.
And then, you cannot expect to survive the rains without an -
Umbrella. I had brought a tiny three-fold umbrella with me from Bangalore, which would fit snugly into my handbag. I disregarded warnings that I would need a sturdier two-fold umbrella, claiming that mine was very strong. A week of enduring the rain and winds and the Tubs of Mumbai, my dainty turquoise umbrella was a clump of rusty spokes and muddy fabric. The next weekend saw me again in Andheri, bargaining for a hardy two-fold umbrella. I picked up a light blue one with white raindrops... that somehow made me feel like a Powerpuff girl, but which, I was sure, was pretty resilient to withstand the winds, and unique enough for a life in the Tubs. A month later, though the white raindrops had turned brown, the umbrella was intact. It even accompanied me back to Bangalore as a prized possession.
And I just cannot stop talking about the -
Sights. And the experiences. A walk down Marine Drive in the rain, biting into hot, spiced, corn on the cob. Or looking out towards Powai Lake. Or a drive on the Mumbai-Pune expressway, through Lonavala and Khandala, in the rain. One of the best experiences ever. Endless green hills and valleys with drifting cottony clouds. Black roads, dark tunnels. And the chill. My only grouse is that I had no one travelling with me to share the moment with, and I did not have a camera. Aaargh!
Of course, everything is not hunky-dory in the Mumbai monsoon. Cancelled trains, stranded passengers. Clothes take forever to dry, and attain that musty, sour smell that no perfume can mask. Grease gets on your clothes when you wade through water on the streets, and no amount of scrubbing will remove it. And if you are not too careful, the clothes in your cupboard develop fungus. And worst of all, if you are feeling lonely or if things are not going too well for you, the Mumbai monsoons have the immense ability to hurl you into the depths of depression.
But nowhere else is the monsoon an event in itself. And the way the city and it's people have adapted to this necessary evil(?) is a joy to observe. How can Mumbai possibly not endear itself to you?

Now you have me all scared and fearful of the Mumbai rains! I enjoyed it last time around, it being first time and all, but this time I am quite wary of it! - 5/29/2006 3:13 PM
I'm all J ;). No rains here as yet.
Interestingly, you have stopped the 'Marriage' series as rains set in. You might know that no marriage in Shravana masa due to practicla reasons you see.
I liked the interesting bit on how to place the umbrella outside the shop. There is a short story by RK Narayan on Umbrella(You might have read it, if not, do read).
Both the rains and rumours caused havoc in Mumbai last year. But nothing stopped the Mumbai spirit. The highest-ever rainfall recorded in a single day in India shut down the financial hub of Mumbai, snapped communication lines, closed airports and forced thousands of people to sleep in their offices or walk home during the night.
With water to drown in but not to cook with, telephone lines down, and Reliance Energy switching off the electricity supply, thousands lived in a nightmarish limbo. They had access to nothing; no one had access to them. After the rain deluge, one truth emerged. Those in power had failed, while those without power — in more ways than one — proved that Mumbai survives despite its leadership, not because of it.
No one can ask governments to prevent a flood. What citizens can demand is that their representatives competently respond to it. Must the city pay with its blood every time a government servant neglects his duty? A road is shoddily constructed, a drainage system not allowed where it is needed, an expert's advice is ignored. All in favour of profiting a few?
Want to share this: It once rained on Double Road('80s) in Bangalore and only one stretch was wet. People on this side were amazed. Heard a similar thing happened in Madras long back. - 5/29/2006 4:13 PM

Shreyas: Come on!! I have been praising Mumbai to the clouds, err.. the skies!
If you have lived through one monsoon, especially the last one, then have no fear :)
Vidya: Shall I make you even more J? Bangalore looks absolutely beautiful!! And the weather! Wow! ;)
Just hang in there, Vidya :)
Bellur Ramakrishna: Coincidence huh? :)
Those in power failed, and those not in power, proved their strength - good one! You have summed it up very well!
Yes, I have had this experience too - once, while driving down a road, I could see that it was raining two crosses away. Even as I watched, the rain approached us - one cross away, and then few meters away from us... and then finally it rained down upon us! Surreal, to say the least. - 5/29/2006 4:27 PM

Nice post :)
Rain... It brings smile in almost everyone's face at my place, Pondicherry. Well, infrequent visitors always receive a better reception. One distinct difference between rain in Pondicherry and rain in Madras is that – drenched Pondicherry looks prettier and fresher whereas, drenched Madras looks a lot dirtier and repulsive, except a few places in Madras.
I missed the heavy subway and first-floor drowning rain last year in Madras. None expected such heavy rain in Madras. I think that a lot of people don't bother to buy umbrella/rain-coat in Madras. Rain is something they tend to forget. Such a heavy rain in the dry land Madras was a real shocker. Along these dry years, the lakes and ponds in and around Madras dried up and people built their homes there. Last year's rain flooded those once-upon-a-time lakes and ponds. And then, people had a firsthand experience of how it feels like to live in an aquarium.
Here in Holland, a large part of the country is below sea level. Rains are accompanied with heavy wind. Raincoats and jackets are clever options than umbrellas. - 5/29/2006 4:29 PM

good blog though! - 5/29/2006 5:29 PM
In mumbai as well as in malnad areas, the people just cant afford to use rain as an excuse to escape from their daily routine. Rains there are so continuous that they will they have to stop for weeks and months. But we here, can find an excuse not to go to colleges, schools, even for work and sometimes to paraties too, and prefer to sit at home eating hot spicy pakodas and sipping hot tea or coffee :)
it is good that shruthi, after going to mumbai learnt how to get well equipped to face the rains, and walked in knee deep water.... the one who as a chubby two year old made a big fuss and demanded an umbrella to protect her new raincoat from getting wet! :) - 5/29/2006 5:48 PM

Now rains are something I hate. And I hate humidity even more - unfortunately, mumbai packs a punch of both hehehe :D - I dont know if I did ever survive in mumbai, rain or otherwise.
That saying, even Hubli-Dharwad was like that - all the years we stayed there, minus the humidity, it always used to drizzle and rain continuously. At times we used to sit on a betta watching the drizzle and catching a smoke - it had its own charm .. I am getting carried away hehe!
Beautiful post!
PS: Which version of parva are u reading - English or Kannada? I know that the original Kannada one has its own charm hehe :D - 5/29/2006 7:23 PM

nice post and good observation reg the umbrella bucket/tub thing...
but there is one thing that people in mumbai dont miss in rains and that happens to be having hot cutting (tea) and hot batatawada under some thatched roof in heavy rains... batatawada and cutting never tastes so good in other seasons as in rainy season :D - 5/30/2006 12:52 PM
- Shruthi said...
Raj: Yup, you should live there for a while, and get under the skin of the city. It's an experience in itself :)

And slurp!
But have you noticed? ANYTHING tastes better when eaten or drunk while watching the rain :D - 5/30/2006 4:52 PM

Shruthi, I hereby present to you this cap worn by all Mumbaikars!!!! :) Feels so good when you write about Mumbai.....
Just to keep you posted, we had our first rainfall last night. It was also my birthday yesterday so got a great ending since it starting pouring around 11 pm. Today the roads look clean and washed; there is a cool breeze blowing (haan bhai haan...don't look so shocked) and the humidity seems to have all but gone.
We're all getting our "all-season" footwear out along with those umbrellas you mentioned in your post. Andheri is just about starting to resemble an ant-hill with all those people, vehicles stranded in huge traffic snarls.
Great post!!! Wish I could write so easily as well. - 5/31/2006 9:40 AM
- RK said...
I remember a couple of RK Laxman's cartoons on 'Rains'. In one of them, the Common man and his wife are on their house balcony seeing a single patch of dark cloud. And the wife tells: THERE GOES POWER, WATER, TRANSPORT....
In another pocket cartoon depicting a rainy scene, everybody is well protected against the pouring rain, except one gentleman who's drenched from head to toe 'coz he hasn't even got an umbrella. He's seen answering a fellow-bus stopper's question. Says he "Yes. I work in the meteorological department. How did you know?"
By the way, I have followed your suggestion. - 5/31/2006 11:44 AM

Chandni: Thank you :)
Sachin: Ohho! Thank you so much :)) And you are making me sharminda and all :D

Shruthi, This is a beautiful post. You have captured the spirit of Mumbai and its monsoon wonderfully.
you have mentioned powai lake, but not vihar which is just behind powai lake and IIT campus! even tho' powai lake is good, i don't have words to describe the beauty of vihar lake and its surroundings..
i also will presume that you've not gone on trekkings/hikings in the sahyadris during monsoons. its dangerous many say but thats why its out of the world experience..
- Shruthi said...
Emma: Thank you :)
S: Oh, that's because I haven't seen Vihar lake in the rain :)
Yes, I have gone trekking near Pune - Sinhgad, etc., in the monsoon. One of the best experiences ever! - 6/02/2006 12:31 PM

Summer Caps Both Good And Very, Very Bad
There are fine summer hats of course, including Panamas of all types and even straw boaters. But those blow off in a breeze and it is caps we consider today, specifically those that may be worn for sport without incurring the ridicule of those around us. And wear them we must, for summer brings with it the potential for sunburned scalps and only one of those episodes is usually required to make a cap wearer out of a man.
Any survey of summer caps should begin with the linen flat cap that is probably the most elegant of the season's casual headwear. The flat cap is equally at home exploring Roman ruins around Avignon and striding up the 18th fairway and every man should have several, in my opinion.
For active sport, the canvas safari hat is a personal favorite for hiking as well as riding in a jeep pretending to stalk the white rhinoceros (I do not consider the pith helmet and neither should you), and the long billed as-worn-by-Ernest-Hemingway fisherman's cap that is sort of a baseball cap on steroids would be another had I not sworn off fishing. There are also several styles to avoid at all costs.
An American television comedy series called Gilligan's Island fifty years ago was responsible for the near-death of the day cravat after it was worn by the scorned-by-audiences character Thurston Howell III. I give that show equal credit for de-popularizing yachting caps like the hat on the shorts-wearing gentleman in the illustration. Yachting caps may still be donned by recreational sailors, but only on a boat of a certain length and only if they own it. The rest of us should stay away lest we hear snickering behind our backs.
Ignoring the baseball cap as one well should, particularly the versions with those plastic size adjustors as well as the ones advertising service companies of all types, two other summer hats to be shunned are the Breton cap and the Greek fisherman's hat. Neither of those should be worn by men who are not, respectively, Breton or Greek fishermen or who do not earn their livings posing as such for English-speaking tourists.
Taking all this into account, a respectable summer cap wardrobe might reasonably include linen flat caps in several colors, a cotton safari or even two if they are worn daily, and a fisherman's cap so long as its owner can define the term creel without resorting to a dictionary.

Not a fan of the classic cotton bucket hat? I think it ought to qualify as a safari hat OFF steroids!

How large a boat do you think qualifies a man to wear a captain's hat?

I'm with Kurt. I like the bucket.

The boat should be at least forty feet.
I omitted the bucket hat as in my opinion it is neither good nor very, very bad. - June 8, 2012 at 8:48:00 AM PDT

I certainly agree about the yachting cap; however, I think that the vessel must also be a sailing vessel and not a motor yacht.

small breast support group - (I need it even if they don't) |
Jul 9 2008, 06:52 PM
Hardcore BUSTie Posts: 182 |
So there we are, being intimate, and he is paying way more attention to my boobies than he has ever had before. Probably because we talked about it a few days ago. And he's grabing and grabing and I change my position so that he can grab a little bit more, my boobie is slipping from his hand and he keeps trying. My skin is turning red and I'm kinda hurt but too ashamed to say anything, so he grabs my two boobies in one hand and I feel even worse. Both of them fit perfectly in just one of his hands. But then he hurts me even more and I have to ask him to be more careful with them, so he goes back to just one boobie that keeps slipping away from his hand, constantly. He comes. I look in the closet mirror and I still don't recognize my reflection anymore.
I can't force him to love' em. He says he loves them, that I'm perfect but he has once wished I was bigger. So he can't convince me that he doesn't anymore. I know that when there is love, those things don't matter. But I've seen his eyes glow with a glance at a big chest. His eyes never did that with mine and never will. I guess I'm just gonna have to learn to live with that. XXX |

Hi ladies, thought I'd pass this on:
The new itty bitty bra company specializes in AA, A and B sizes ONLY. They were mentioned in Redbook magazine. The down side is, they are currently only sold in just a few U.S. stores and they don't have internet ordering up yet (they say they're going to have that function soon). they should really move their asses with that because I'm dying to try these. The cute leopard print bra is $55,--way more than I'd usually pay for a damn bra--but still, it's nice to see a company trying to cater to us for a change. http://www.ittybittybra.com/ |

Where are you alllll
Ive noticed I only post in here when Im having a low moment boob-wise (with the exception of now). Although I still read up whenever Im online Not really thought about boobs much lately. The only moments that come to mind are the odd jealous glare at various blessed chests. Im pretty sure an extra cup or two would perfect me. Well, imperfectly perfect A rather large breasted lady was on tv and the person watching with me said "look how huge her boobs are. Disgusting". I know there are many things wrong with the comment etc etc but I have to confess it made me feel a tiny bit good. (And then guilty...) Hi Kat! please come again:) Even though you described what that picture is Knorl, I still find myself squinting at it thinking 'what the hell'. Looks like an actual breast exploded rather than the bra:/ Im a little tipsy, sorry |

Gross out!
Check these stats: More than 300,000 women in the U.S. had implants last year, that's around 30,000 per month, most of these women are under the age of 21 years old. This surgery has become a very popular graduation present for young women. Not that there is anything wrong with breast implants, I mean, If you don't mind having something like gross out in your body, by all means. -------------------- Earth: A Satanically ran planet where 98% of it's inhabitants are unquestioning, conformist idiots who are totally controlled and manipulated by the Satanic governments of the world and have been made complacent by said governments, through rigorous brainwashing.

Hey Knorl,
Ew is right! Not to implant-bash, but this pic is very similar to ones I've seen of implants gone wrong--all can look well on the outside, but inside there could be fungus, a capsule forming, leaks, etc. At least this was only inside your bra, not your body. |

I've been trying to go back time and once in a while my boobs had been part of our sex life. I expected some excitement, like, i haven't seen your boobs for ages and i'm so glad i do now, but... nop. We talked about it today, he says he was just being patient when I expected him to be crazy about it. So he thinks we have to start over again. Yep, maybe he's right. I'll probably think he's just doing that cause I asked him to.

I'm somewhat bi also and my last sexual encounter with women gave me an interesting insight on the boob size issue. My boyfriend has always said that for him, it's not the size of the breast that is sexy but the way the woman responds when they are being stimulated that turns him on. (That's part of what he likes about me - I have extremely sensitive and responsive tits and can occasionally come just from breast stim.)
Anyway, in this encounter I was with two women, one of whom has large natural breasts. I'd never been with a woman with big boobs before and I was curious how I'd react - hugest turn on ever? ho-hum? icky gross? - I had no idea beforehand. It was exactly like he says! At first I was sort of curious about them, kind of just working them over with more of a scientific interest than anything. But as we both got more turned on I completely forgot about their size. It just wasn't an issue! What mattered, and what was turning me on, was figuring out what she liked and doing more of it. Biting? Oh she doesn't like biting, I'll stop. Sucking like a baby? Ooooh, she's grooving on that, I'll do more. Oh yeah, she really likes that. Ohhhh, yeah, mmmmm.... Exactly like my boyfriend says. It's not the size. It's the woman's response. |

"i participated in some research on body image and bi/gay women recently - anyone got any thoughts on whether being bi or gay helps you to distance yourself somewhat from societal pressure to look a certain way?"
I'm bi and I absolutely have not felt with women the pressure to look a certain way--as I have with men my whole life. Especially, I noticed this with the breast size issue--I definetely feel women (whether they themselves had small or larger breasts), appreciated my breasts generally more than any man ever did. One woman was constantly down or up my shirt the second we were alone--whenever, wherever. It stroked my ego in a huge way! No man was ever so enthused about them. It was women who gave me a couple of the biggest physical compliments of my entire life: "I love your breasts," and "Your body is a work of art!" The "out" gay/bi women I knew, I would say, were generally more accepting of their bodies than most straight women I've known. It was refreshing, and I wonder if it was at least in part due to already embracing a sexual orientation and overall lifestyle that challenged the norm; to go one step further and accept the whole physical package was just part of accepting the whole self and basically telling the world, "Fuck it, this is who I am!" I also think women who love women are much more accepting of body types--heavy, etc--and therefore those within that community must not feel as much pressure to look a certain way as stright women do. I think gay women generally are more accepting of variations in women's bodies than men, and find many more female body types beautiful. I never saw one implanted women in the gay clubs, as least that I could tell. (Go to any meat-market straight club and it's all around.) But just to confuse the issue, I will, however, say that I have noticed some pressure within the gay/bi community, surprisingly, to look a certain way--to adhere to a "butch" look if you are lesbian, for example. One gay aquaintance was pretty feminine and she told me she was often criticized by other lesbians for wearing pretty jewelry, feminine clothing, that sort of thing. As someone new to the gay scene at that time, I found it surprising that among gay people--who I thought would have had enough being judged--would judge others within the gay community like that. Sorry for rambling--I'm a little hung over. |

umm percentages... I'm sorry to say that it took a man (crinoboy) to bring me up to where I am now, self-esteem wise. He taught me to love myself and overcome years of negative thinking and self-loathing. So nowadays I'm about 50% okay, 30% omg I am hideous, 19% I look pretty good, and 1% I am hot. Crino, I'm the exact same way! When my bf and I began dating I had an eating disorder and really really hated my body. Now, almost a year later, I'm really starting to come around, largely because he is so sweet and doesn't hold me to any of the ridiculous standards that I do. I used to get really angry when he would say sweet things (which is totally messed, I know), but I'm no longer tossing my cookies or foregoing food entirely. I hate thinking that I needed a man to do this, and I really believe that people cannot fix us, that we need to heal ourselves yadda yadda, but you know, I think it really helped having a voice saying sweet things to counter all of the negative self-talk I had going on (like "oh my god, my grandfather has bigger breasts than me." which, lol, is true ). Aha, last night my bff and I were reminiscing about our first bra buying experience, we bought matching ones, and she was going on about how she had just found hers and how small and cute it looked, etc. I think she felt kind of bad when I told her I still hadn't (and probably won't ever) grown into mine. Aha, I felt so cheated by life when I realized that I was never going to grow "real" breasts -------------------- Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.

I haven't posted in a while, not much to add to the convo I guess. I am soo feelin y'all on the wide feet! It sucks cuz mine are also really short, so good luck to me finding a size 5 1/2 wide (they're practically square, lol)!
dj- You're right about our build being found in gymnasts. When I was a gymnast there were many girls with my same build (bulky ass/thighs, tee-tiny top), it may be from the way we train our muscles, I dunno. It took me years to get my thighs down to where my quads didn't stick out. V- congrats on your progress!! I'm so proud of you for the steps you're taking to love yourself, you rock!!! I also think there is beauty in imperfection, if something is too perfect, it isn't interesting visually or otherwise. Look at the Mona Lisa, which is famous in part because her face is slightly imperfect, it makes people want to look at it. umm percentages...

hmmm yeah, I'm bisexual and I'm more tolerant towards alternative beauty in women and probably will allways be more than some straight women, I guess. Until I had this boob issue I had never seen a woman and had thoughts like "I wish I was like her or I wish I had that something", I would just appreciate her for the whole package. I used to go to this strip club with my ex-bf and we used it as a turn on on our relationship, and it worked miracles. I had spent hours surfing on suicidegirls.com (I've got a login lended from a great friend lol) and appreciated women from all kinds and shapes. And that's great.

i participated in some research on body image and bi/gay women recently - anyone got any thoughts on whether being bi or gay helps you to distance yourself somewhat from societal pressure to look a certain way? i am as straight as they come, but i have often wondered about this too. a looooooong time ago, when lux still posted in here, she mentioned how awful her girlfriend was to her about her small breasts. this kind of surprised me. i suppose my dime store analysis would be that lesbians/bi women share a common perspective in the world. maybe women's ability to see past the superficial in others translates to bi/lesbian relationships. one would think that these women would be more sympathetic to the societal pressures put on women and therefore more open and accepting of different physical forms. however, all women are subject to the same conditioning. i, like anarch, have more difficulty forgiving the bodily 'transgressions' of women than i do of men. in my mind, men aren't supposed to be beautiful in the way that women are. so, to answer your question beck, i don't know. those are just some thought....... i'm glad that some of you echoed the big girl/small breasts sentiment. i feel like it can go the other way too, as in, it's okay to have small breasts if you are super skinny (i'm not ragging on you bean poles out there, i know that is the way nature made you! ) i am always looking for a celebrity/athlete example of a bigger woman with small breasts. i think the best examples must come from athletes, tennis players, soccer players, gymnists (karate peeps, wink wink). ((((small-busted busties)))) -------------------- "To lose everything at the edge of such a glorious eternity is far sweeter than to win by plodding through a cautious, painless, and featureless life."

on the percentage thing - 70% of the time I don't think about it at all, 20% I like what I see, 10% I don't. The 10% is not generally boob-related though, more when my skin flares up - i mostly like my small boobs and big butt but i am bothered by the bad skin on my chest. i'm all for variation and different shapes but let's face it, acne is never going to be sexy
the other things i don't like so much are my very pale skin (i practically glow in the dark) and my teeth, due to a slight misunderstanding between me and a wall when i was little... but most of the time i think what the hell, i look alright - and if i don't, tough shit, i'm a smart and interesting person (on a good day) and would rather be judged on that - if someone misses out because they don't like my face, their loss. my beef is more about finding stuff that fits properly than dealing with self-esteem problems. i think it would be harder if i lived in the US as i get the impression people are better-groomed generally? (or am i just basing that on what i see on TV?) i participated in some research on body image and bi/gay women recently - anyone got any thoughts on whether being bi or gay helps you to distance yourself somewhat from societal pressure to look a certain way? i'm so with the big-footed Busties - it is such a pain (literally) finding shoes to fit my wide feet. ETA: clearly not as smart as i like to think, at least not at maths, as i realised this morning that with those %s, i would be spending a crazy 5 and a half hours a day thinking about my appearance, and close to 2 hours a day mired in self-loathing. Probably more like 5 and a half minutes, and 2 minutes. but i can't possibly work out those as percentages... Sorry for crazy long post! |

I'm not trying to fit any society's mold by thinking about surgery or anything, I pretty much love the rest of my body and when "I loved myself" I would just put on a padded bra and focus on the rest of my to-my-eyes perfect body. I never dealt with my flat-chest cause I didn't wanted to and I never saw myself as a flat-chested gal cause I didn't wanted to either and when I'm dressed up with my padded bra I'm perfect. The guys I've been with never mentioned it before. Now that someone has pointed out my "fault" I had to start dealing with it at 24 years-old when I'm trying more than never to be the woman I feel inside and realised the padded bras were the breasts I never had and somehow believed I did had them. Go figure. I have got nothing against flat-chests but I just don't see myself that way. That is not the way I dress up, that is not the way I behave and that is not the way I see myself. I have been avoiding reality since my 11 years old.

What is the best place in the USA to spot exotic sports cars, high end luxury cars and vintage dream cars? We set out to answer that question by evaluating numerous American cities based on per capita income, population density, proximity to high-end dealers, recorded exotic car sightings and more. Below is a list in order of what we determined to be the best US cities to spot very exclusive and expensive exotic cars. Obviously this list is merely our opinion as this evaluation was not exactly a scientific process.
1. Las Vegas, Nevada (particularly "The Strip")
2. Beverly Hills, California
3. Miami, Florida
4. Palm Beach, Florida
5. Newport Beach, California
6. Malibu, California
7. Fort Lauderdale, Florida
8. Greenwich, Connecticut
9. Houston, Texas
10. Chicago, Illinois
Honorable Mentions:
San Francisco, California
Jacksonville, Florida
Scottsdale, Arizona
Orlando, Florida
Boston, Massachusetts
Plano, Texas
Leawood, Kansas
Exotic cars can be spotted in most America metropolitan areas. For instance on my last trip to Leawood, Kansas, an affluent Kansas City suburb; I witnessed a Red Ferrari F430, White Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder and Silver Rolls-Royce Silver Spur at the same stop light. This would not be most people's depiction of Kansas, but the fact is that it is one of the wealthiest areas in the United States. Many of these high-end vehicles can be spotted by their owners with equipped vehicle tracking systems to pinpoint their location at any time.
What other cities are great for exotic car spotting?

I am trying to setup an EP10 to turn off the screen/handheld after one minute and that works fine. However I need our technicians to be able tap on the screen to turn the unit on again as they have to ware large gloves and they cannot press the small red on button with them. In the EP10 manual it states that when the the .Turn off screen if device not used for..' option is selected, the screen should turn off after x minutes of idleness and that the user can turn on the sreen again by just tapping on the screen. However, it does not turn on by tapping the screen! If anyone has previous experience and an answer for this then it would be gratefully appreciated!
I checked out these tweakit changes and it worked perfect. I think the tweakit interface is fine for changing these settings. So, while an improved interface for the power settings would be welcome, I think for me personally and probably similarly technically minded, a detailed list of registry/tweakit settings that may be changed depending on how we need the unit to perform in the field for different projects would be useful so that we can optimize the performance of the unit!
Hi Liam.
Can you give me the "exact" steps you use for setting the following two settings:
1) Start -> Settings -> Power Control panel applet [Advanced] tab.
2) Start -> Settings -> System -> Backlight Control panel applet [Battery] and [External Power] tabs.
I just wish to test this on a PH8 (GSM/GPRS) model I have here at the Help Desk. -sean
Sean M. Kennedy {Americas Help Desk Application Support}
1) I simply go the advanced tab and set the 'Trurn off screen if device not used for' setting to 1 minute. Then I make sure that this setting under 'On battery power:' is on, i.e. there is an 'X' in the chck box under this setting. I then make sure that the 'On external power:' setting is off, ie. when it is charging the unit is not turned off automatically but you have to turn it off via the on/off button on the keypad.
2) For the backlight I simpley set the Battery setting to turn off the backlight after 1 minute and set the External power to turn off after 10 minutes and both battery and external power hav ethe tap screen to turn on the hh set to on!
Liam O'Driscoll, ICBF
Thanks for that Liam.
In fact I encounter the same issue as you do. (Not an error on you part) I checked the EP10 Manual, and it contains the line:
*** Begin Cut 'N Paste ***
Note: The options in the screen behave like Suspend mode. If the screen turns off, the unit is in suspend
mode – tapping on the touchscreen or pressing a key opens the screen in which you were working
before it was 'turned off'.
*** End Cut 'N Paste ***
Which I would reckon is part of the expectation that you have for being able to resume by a Keyboard press, or a Screen Tap.
That aside --(I have Notified our Product Support Group of this inconsistency)-- the behavior of setting the Power Option in Part 1) of your response (Thank You) will not shut off the screen of the device -- but will Suspend the device.
The only button that will return you from Suspend is the [POWER] button on the EP10 Keyboard.
I have tested your scenario on a device I recently .CLEAN booted and brought back to correct config (*), so there is not possibility of 3rd-party applications causing interference of any kind. -sean
(*) After a .CLEAN, an EP10 which does not have a Total Recall backup/restore profile will need the Correspondent ADD-ON.CAB file installed, and if the EA11 imager is intalled, the Decoder Installer for the EA11 driver installed as well. -smk8
Thanks for the reponse. I will continue to test myself to see if I can find the solution.
On another note, I did not realsie that there was .clean boot option. How can this be carried out and is there any files that I need for it?
It could be that there's no way to set the "wake on touch" option. Look for the following registery key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power]. The value is a bit mask, to enable wake on touch, OR with the value 0x10. You may need to reset after making this registry change.
Looks like I missed the actual registry key name: WakeupEnables
And be very careful making changes to the registry - I'm only telling you this so you can test out the functionality, it's not intended to be a field solution - if it works as expected, then we may need to add support in the OS for the option to be selected.
Thanks Alex. I will try that from my end. -sean
Does anyone know why we state "Turn off screen" instead of "Suspend the device" at Power Applet?
The first option may lead audience think that devices go to 'Screen Off' power status instead to Suspended one. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa929251.aspx
IMHO, if EP10 were consumer devices 'Turn off' may be the best choice since it is easier to understand what it means for non-technical users. But being EP10 enterprise devices we should be more precise to communicate to IT staff what we exactly mean.
I tried changing the WakeupEnables registry value but it does not seem to work. Below is a screen shot of the Power registry key settings. Can you suggest any changes that can be tested?
Secondly is there a list of power registry settings with a corresponding explanation of what they should do when set to a certain value avalable?
Answers in Two parts.
1) Felipe, it was the phraseology in both the EP10 manual as well as the Phrasing in the Power Control Panel applet that I brought to the attention of the Product Support Group.
2) Liam, I am expecting you to encounter that the registry settings will not WakeEnable the EP10 from Suspend (I confirmed that it did not work this morning) but was still composing this message to let you know. As well to let you know we are looking into that.
I was making a mistake when trying the tap to Resume. It is closer to a Tap-Hold. And the best way is to use your thumb. When the EP10 is suspended, you can [THUMB-SCREEN] to bring the unit back. This is due to the tap-debounce parameter to prevent the EP10 from being resumed when something just taps the screen lightly.
For WEH running across a varienty of platforms (Including the EP10) the registry value changes from device to device. This registry implementation is specific to the EP10 running Windows Embedded Handheld firmware. We will investigate a User Friendly control panel setting for all devices running WEH.
Please try the setting using 0x10 (ten hex) OR'ed with the existing value for WakeEnable and then when you suspend using either [POWER] button, as well as [BLUE] then [POWER] and using your thumb press gently (but firmly) on the screen for ~ 1 full second and the unit should resume. It did on mine that I reckoned was not working correctly. -sean
Nice find Alex. Thanks a lot
I also tried this and it works!
Ex. EP10 OS 2.0.18516.0 configured with [X] Turn off screen if device not used for 1 minute
Per your instruction:
168 (Dec) = 10101000 (Bin)
10 (Hex) = 00010000 (Bin)
---------- Boolean OR -----------
10111000 (Bin) = 184 (Dec) = B8 (Hex)
=== Warm reset required after making this registry change ===
To resume, TAP and hold until the center LED (Yellow Application LED) comes on

Connected to the Real World?
I received this image from a friend a while ago when we were both sitting in a very boring lecture where nobody seemed to pay attention to what was going on. And looking at the image distracted me even more and made me think: What went wrong there? Did the speaker even notice that? Attendees glued to their smartphone screens but not to his slides, and definitely not his presentation.
What was missing was the connection to the real world, between speaker, audience and what the value of the information could be in our daily lives. Establishing this connection is something that is more important for businesses in all industries than ever before.
If you are looking at your screen all day you might forget that your actual audience is human. They are out there and they do not want pixels but the solution to a real life problem.I seriously believe that knowing your audience and connecting with it emotionally means everything. Danny Brown commented in a thought-provoking blogpost that we are the "connection generation" - and he is damn right about that. Is the product you are building only a bunch of pixels?
Think about it.

Use Facebook's New Pages Feed to Stay Connected
Recent changes by Facebook to its Edge Rank algorithm brought an onslaught of criticism from brands and advertisers. Edge Rank determines which posts show up in Facebook users' news feeds; since the change, brands have been seeing a decline in views of posts they make to their pages as the algorithm favors posts from individual profiles rather than pages. Now, there's an answer. Facebook has created a feed where users can see only the posts from Pages they like. In addition to making up about 20 percent of news feed content, users can look at their very own Pages-only view any time.
So is that good news, or bad?
The answer is mixed, but mostly good. Unlike the other newsfeed views, "most recent" and "top stories," users have to look for Pages updates in the Pages tab in the left hand navigation bar. It's not the most obvious integration for most; after all, how many people spend time in their Pages menu?
However, once alerted to the change, the Pages feed offers a great resource for people looking for updates from their favorite brands, bands, businesses, and celebrities. Posts that were once buried by Edge Rank are available to be uncovered with ease — all the more important during the time of year when consumers are looking for holiday shopping deals or recipe ideas, for example.
ReadWriteWeb suggests another plus: Brand-weary consumers may stick to Facebook if they don't feel they're getting a lot of unwanted advertising shown to them all the time. They point out that a U.K. poll from the summer shows people like multiple pages but hide them from their news feed. With Facebook's new model, maybe users get a better deal. Facebook fans now have a way to maintain valuable connections on their own terms.
Have you tried the Pages view? What do you think? Is it helping you connect to people and products you don't often see in your news feed?
TIP: Let fans know they can ensure updates from your Page by alerting them to the "Get Notifications" option. Users can hover over the "Liked" button on a favorite page and then click "Get Notifications" to get updates similar to those from close friends.
