For the longest time India has been complaining about the nightly migration of Bangladeshi men who go to satisfy the very unsatisfied Indian women all night and come back to Bangladesh in the morning. To keep them away, the Indian men with extremely small penises have "erected" a fence all around Bangladesh. The fence looks like a giant condom from space, preventing mother india from getting banged by the Bang-ladeshis.

This page is too serious[edit]
I don't think there's enough funny and too much serious. Most pages are the opposite: too much serious making things generally sill and not funny, but this is trying too hard to not be this. its totally pathetic . the writer needs to get a life .
This is why I added the call centre bit. And added some repetition into the listing of the things indians are known for (repeating cricket).
Another thing is that it sounds too serious in the general vibe. Pretty anally retentive. 126.96.36.199 04:17, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
I agree. This article needs major cleanup. --sohil 19:57, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Look at the Bangladesh article. I try to be very serious, but I exaggerate the reality to the point where it's funny. India could follow a similar pattern. InMooseWeTrust 11:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
i agree...its not so funny...open the article to changes, it will definitely work out for the better. i feel very bad having such a trash page for my motherland.

Pretty Lousy Article![edit]
I feel sorry for those who think this page is humurious. Its time someone rectified content on this page to give it a taste of reality. The current content is utter crap. - User 184.108.40.206
- you could help by adding the "might be funny in an alternate universe" template by adding this, {{Alternate Universe}}, to the article if you feel strongly about it and and leaving a slightly more detailed critique here; like which sections, you think, are pathetic, or how you would like to see the article improved. of course, if you could edit a section or two, to make it more humorous, you would be showing by example: which would be a better way of approaching the whole thing. -- mowgli 09:50, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
For those making additions/alterations to Language policy[edit]
- Please be funny in your additions. Avoid stating facts (that will inevitably be from a subjective POV in this section) unless you are ready to parody them in the same edit. Everything goes only if it is funny. Keep in mind that this is a contentious section and a long tirade of insults, one from each side, does not make for fun reading. -- mowgli 06:42, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
I think this article is excellent![edit]
I'm suprised it hasn't been featured yet. Maybe it contains too many injokes (eg. lal loo). Perhaps you have to be Indian to get it??
Good job, well done to those who have contributed to this article. - Tt22 22:11, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
THIS WAS HILARIOOOUS!! you may have to be indian/pakistani/bangladeshi to get some parts though
Interesting, but I read somewhere that this was what India was:[edit]
India is a fictional place, rumored to have been created by J.R.R Tolkien whilst he wrote the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He had planned for it to be a large area occupied mainly by hobbits, leprechauns and other fictional creatures such as the French, for example. In the un-edited version of the book, which only 3 people in the world own, this section is still included. In this legendary tome, the region contributes for a large proportion of the population of Middle Earth (roughly 17%) and many of the inhabitants have spread to other areas, such as The Shire, and set up small corner shops and take-aways.
This passage was taken out of the mainstream edition of the book as Tolkiens trusted friend Samuel L. Jackson thought that the name of the place seemed too much like a real place called "England", and also bore some resemblance to the fictional place "Bethlehem" which was quoted in the famous children's book "The Bible", written by Will Ferrell.
CURRY CURRY CURRY CURRY CURRY CURRY CURRY don't behave we'll send you to India", which in English roughly translates to "Shut up!" Also, in Zimbabwe "India" is considered to be the depiction of heaven given to them by their Messiah. They try to prove themselves to Tolkien, their Messiah, by re-enacting famous events in his trilogy, such as the "Battle of Helm's Deep" and Frodo's struggle in Shelob's lair.
That bit about Tolkien etc works much better added into the article, rather than replacing it entirely. RabbiTechno 19:20, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
From Pee Review[edit]
|Final Score:
|----OEJ 16:38, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
On Humour and Concept: First, this is a very long and complex article. The concept of telling Indian history in various programming languages is quite nice, but it dribbles away after the first attempt and comes to nothing in the end. By contrast, the section on "Current Day Indians" is nothing but weak-minded race hatred; it's not clever and not amusing. There are similar examples of assholism here and there in other sections.
Much of the political material may be funny to Indians but is hard for someone like me -- a country boy from Oregon, USA -- to understand.
- "Until the population of India exploded, India was a country where each person was allotted 5 square millimetres of space for living(dont forget to menion 60% reservations for st sc bc and obc)(10% proposed reservation for muslims andn bangladeshis).(Wait... there is no reservation yet for the obc's. It is in the list of 'Things to do this term" of the government.)'"
ST, SC, BC, OBC? Who are these people?
The authors have choices: they can attempt to make the esoteric parts of the article more accessible to outsiders by concisely explaining what's what. Or they can ramp up the jargon until it becomes an obvious joke (the ST, SC, XT, BC, OBC, XBC, ABC, XXX, WMD, and LOL groups will be adjusted to a fare-the-well with a spanner; and the HURGH, GK, FB, NORK, and FU groups will be awarded a bicycle handgrip for living expenses).
So: Much of the difficulty comes down to consistency and coherency. An article this length needs strong structure. Lacking that, the reader becomes confused by the sheer volume of disorganized information. Organize this article. Make it consistent if you can. For example, the material under the heading "Sexual Practices" is about a politician, not the sexual practices of Indians. Some of the material under "Economy" is about sexual practices, not economy. The material under "Current Day Indians" appears to be concerned not with India but with immigrants as seen by a juvenile Paki-basher. The last item under "Indian Names in the West" appears to belong under "In the News". The last paragraph under "Sport" has nothing to do with sport.
It's a jumble. Fix it.
On Prose: The English spelling and grammar needs help. "Anonymosity" is not a word. The sentence "George Bush, in an act of solidarity with the republic of IVC, promised the world to hunt down evil, vandal 'Mama,' also known a 'Yo Mama' in Arabic, from the areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan where he was feared to be vandalizing from" should be taken apart and re-assembled into something sensible. The entire "Current Day Indians" section is in a style different from the rest of the article and it should be deleted. Seriously, the writing needs work.
On Images: Why in the FUCK do we have to see that inanely grinning fool in blackface on so many articles? The one captioned "India is Diverse"? Delete him, he's irrelevant. The MSPaint pucture of a "Modern-day Indian" is ugly and stupid. The pictures of train riders and of the missile parade are, however interesting and appropriate.
On Race Hatred: I've already said that the section titled "Current Day Indians" is stupid and offensive. There are other little lumps of racist garbage scattered around the article. I feel like someone wrote an insider-funny article on India, and a mentally disturbed and not-very-smart paki-basher came along and shoehorned some badly-written hate-cruft into the article later.
- "The basic anthem of the Indian population is 'Panchod' [cussing] which literally means sister fucking due the rigorous practice of this the Indian population has become really large and fucked up."
Pointless, vicious slander is not satire. Delete every instance of it and the article will be better.
Readers are almost always willing to laugh along with someone poking good-humoured fun at a nation, its insititutions, and its people. It's especially funny if the humorist is an insider and can share some of the esoteric quirks and silliness of his people with outsiders. But mean-spirited obscenity, demeaning slander, and racism will virtually always offend intelligent readers.
There's too much hatred in this article.
I see this article has a relatively long and contentious history. The nastiest section and the ugly MSPaint image were the work of a non-notable user named "poonepounder" who was active only on March 12 2007 and made only 10 edits total to the wiki. His edits to Africa were stupid and racist, and were quickly reverted. His edits to Jew were minor and eventually overwritten. ----OEJ 16:57, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
I notice also that this was originally posted as a complaint from a reader ("displaying hatred and a little insulting too") and not really a request from a writer for advice. Obviously, I agree with the complaint...except that I would say not "a little insulting" but "rife with rampant assholism" instead. The problem is that the article currently has no primary author willing to do the very considerable work of making the article consistent and funny. Too bad. ----OEJ 17:09, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
OK, final note: I deleted the crap written by poonepounder and cleaned up some of the formatting, restored a sensible version of "Sexual Practices", deleted a few stupidities. It's still a deeply flawed article, though. ----OEJ 17:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Someone should put in somewhere that Indians are worthless pieces of shit. Filthy cowraping retards. I fucking HATE Indians. (This comment was added by anonymous IP 188.8.131.52
Satires are okay but going against, hate etc. are going way way too bad. What if I was to write that Americans are a group of adultering prostitutes? huh? -Indian, and proud to be one.

I propose that we delete the whole article, and start over. A lot of stuff here is racist, too serious, and doesn't explore more non-racist stereotypes.

Aussie People[edit]
The cricket part was written by a descendant of European criminal scum who is born and brought up in the land of criminals. It is obvious that those scumbags have psychopathic racist criminal mentality inherited into their genes. If Indians are racists what hell are you? Go back and read what you have written calling Indians as "baboons" you bastards are racists too. Racism provokes racism. I cannot believe that this website allows such utterly biased racist content. I thought this websites portrays truth in a funny way though a bit offensive here and there. Indigenous Australians were given the right to vote in Commonwealth elections in Australia in November 1963. Learn how to spell "capital" its not capitol deuche bags.
Learn how to spell DOUCHE BAG, you whinging indian douche bag. That one line alone has shown you for what you really are - another smart mouthed indian who deserves a smack in the face. Fu<k off and burn an effigy of ms dhoni, you 3rd world piece of scum. Don't forget to hit it with your shoe for added effect.
You know damn well that indians are the most racist people on this planet - your entire hindu religion is based on racism!!! I take it you're a high caste indian, (seeing as you can afford a PC).
No wonder we want you all out of our country, all you do is whinge, whine, complain, cheat and drive our taxis. indians have no concept of loyalty whatsoever, you'd all sell your 8 year old sisters for a few rupees (hang on, thats called a dowry isn't it?) --22.214.171.124 14:52, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Cricket thing[edit]
4 JUNE UPDATE-templars26 i changed the part where aussie simons was called a black and that part... i am sure that an angry aussie fan added that... i have chnged a few incorrect things. we did not think simons to be a black as reported by international media but simple thought he had resembled a monkey...(when i say we i refer to the people did that sad act) i dont want this to be a racial issue hence chnged the angle a bit + it wasnt very funny lets make this a funny article and not a article for hatred... ( i personally support the aussie team even though i am an indian... but we did not intend to racially make fun of andrew)
Who ever that retard was who wrote the part on the monkey calling (cricket) thing doesn't sound funny. Please rewrite that part.
- I think it is pretty funny and should not be taken to heart. If you are an Indian Cricket fan or even just plain Indian, why don't you write the Australian equivalent. You could call us a bunch of pink skinned idiots who win cricket matches way to often. You could even say something like, why do you call your self white when you are actually pink and stink of smelly disgusting soap and deodorant and not curry and shit.

- Indigenous Australians were given the right to vote once they learnt how to vote. These people still have trouble fitting in and a lot of them still live in their tribes as homeless people in cities that were once bushland. The cities simply grew around them. Yes we did come from criminals, but now all the criminals are Arabs, Pakistanis, Indians, Meds and so on. And we did not evolve from monkeys, we came from Adam and eve whilst you came from a monkey and slowly evolved in semi human life form over thousands of years.
No I am not racist, just taking the piss. I actually like Indian people more than some Australian people. It was the Indian cricket fans that brought this upon themselves. You never heard Australian cricketers or fans calling Indians monkeys MerbabuBombaybelly 01:15, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Australians are MONKEYS. Adam and eve my ass, idiots believe in a fairy tale shit. We Indians were civilized thousands of years before European cunts still hunting in forests and living on trees reproducing by incest. Now go eat shit and go fuck yourself.

" The only difference is Indian women give birth through the arse and not the vagina, so all Indian people came out of their mothers arseholes. When Indian people have sex the mail Indian shoves his tiny penis in either his male of female partner's arsehole, a couple of seconds later, after two of three ins and outs the Indian male deposits a small amount of seamen in the females arse crack. This is enough to get the Indian female pregnant. Nine months later the Indian female will suddenly break wind (not water like westerners) and get the urge to crap. The female will suddenly run off to the toilet and take a shit. After taking a shit the husband will come along and sift through the large heap of shit to look for the tiny foetus. After finding the baby and cleaning of all the bits of crap it is then sent of to live with and learn the ways of wild monkeys. After two to three years the baby is returned to its Indian parents. When it returns it comes back with that funny Indian accent that we all know, and says things like, curry curry curry give me curry in a hurry (repeatedly while moving his/her head from side to side quickly). That's why, we Indian people are so comical to westerners even if we are trying to be serious. Lack of organisation"

Remove the mating section and other racist shit.........YOU NOT[edit]
This page is not a parody but the work of some sexually frustrated Indian hating beef filled cracker ass-licking pale skinned son of a bitch. I'm just venting. If the moderators of this site have any self respect or humility at all, they will remove such putrid bile from their site. It was probably that "Merbabu" Australian shit filled tape worm that crawled out of the ass of a kangaroo and feeds on koala menstrual blood. If that bastard son of a convict's aborginal whore ever sets foot in India he will get beaten to pulp and splattered all over the outback down-under his mother's fat ass... for spewing his personal hatred and bile especially against Indians. I hope he and his father find this hilarious, because I do.
As this has been locked for editing with highly racist content, it implies that the people with editing rights are fucking assholes( they themselves will agree to this and enjoy this). now somebody crapped about writing the same about australians. no. i will like to write the same about whoever wrote this crap. and here is in red letters written below this window, ´´Please read the Beginner's Guide, and please be funny and not just stupid´´. interesting.
- Exactly, this is no fun - but sheer abusing.... I suppose the motto of this page is to have fun not trouble.
indian cricket players suck, and so do the fans. what losers. 100 crore people, and the only game they think they're world champions is in a game that is played for a whole day with some 10 or 11 loser countries over and over again. they have champions cup, asia cup, african's cup, crap cup and what not. but the end result is they play each other for like thousands of times coz there are no other teams to compete, but losers don't get tired watching it over and over again.

Why the hell is this article locked?[edit]
I had some decent concepts for the article but alas , this article is locked. Cmon. Locking this article with that stupid crap still in it is sheer insult to readers of uncyclopedia.
- I love new users like you. I really do. In the matter of only a few sentences, you've managed to communicate so much ignorance that I had to put duct tape over my ears just to stop my brain from leaking out after you melted it.
- First of all, the article is not entirely locked. It is unlocked for registered users, which, as you indicated in your edit summary, was what you wanted. However, it takes four days before you can edit semiprotected articles. If you don't know what a semiprotected article is, or you want to know why, please do us all a favor and fucking Google it.
- "sheer insult to readers of uncyclopedia"? Give me a break. If an article actually is locked - fully locked - it's for a good reason. Mostly because it's an in-joke, or it's part of a revert war, or some other practical reason. You see, you seem to be of the opinion that the administrators here are idiots with no sense of humor. Granted, one or two of them might be, but you have to be a douchebag and assume that the people that have been running and doing maintenance on this site for months, possibly years now, have no idea what they're doing, and you, a complete n00b, have every idea. Congratulations! You've just proven what an asshole you are.
- As it is, it's semiprotcted to prevent more shit from piling in on it. We don't need IP diarrhea on a page like this, or even new user shit on it either.
- Maybe if you have the patience to wait four days from the creation of your account, you might remember to come back and edit this article with your so-called "decent concepts". If so, good for you. Maybe you should write it down just in case you forget, as I predict that the six brain cells contained in your skull don't have the greatest memory capacity.

Cricket Incident Edit Warring[edit]
Personally I don't think it's very much amusing, but hey - I don't know squat about cricket. What worries me more is that edit warring without either party trying to talk with the other one. Talk=good. Edit warring=both parties get banned. Talk, get an agreement, let me know what's the decision. ~http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/f/f6/Jewriken.GIF 12:18, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
I have stated clearly why that section should not be there....as I said when I first deleted it, 1)Racism and name calling without any humour has no place here. 2)This affair (something that happened on a cricket pitch and has long been forgotten is not important enough to find a place in an article about India. User Merbabu keeps reverting it without specifying a reason.--Sillierrabbit 12:57, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
- You have stated that in change summary. I didn't see any attempt to talk with him directly. Nor did I see such attempt from his side. ~http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/f/f6/Jewriken.GIF 13:05, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
I agree that I did not talk with him directly; as the situation stands, I think it is for him to explain why that section should be there. I welcome any reasoning from his part, either directly to me or on here. I do not think he can convince me that this section is harmless, so rather than us reaching an agreement, maybe it is upto the admins or other users to judge. Do you think saying that africans are all half evolved ape men would be tolerated? Racial insults against any race is racism, you know. Devoting a long section for racist rants is unpardonable. However, if the majority here thinks it is in good taste (which I doubt), you may put the section back, Mordillo. Merbabu, we are waiting.--Sillierrabbit 13:39, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

I don't mind the text being removed but you could at least leave the image there. If you want you could add a picture of the Australian cricket team with Kangaroo heads or something of this nature MerbabuBombaybelly 22:58, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
You will remember that the whole controversy that day erupted because Andrew Symonds was called a monkey (and not a kangaroo). Monkey happens to be a racial insult, and kangaroo is not. Kangaroo, apart from being the national animal of Australia, is also an unofficial mascot of the aus team. Imagine someone putting an image of Andrew Symonds in a monkey head (I would be the first to remove that), and you know why that is racist. Also, once you remove the completely humourless text, putting the image there makes no sense. Apart from all this, you will do well to realize that the whole controversy died down in a few days, and has long been forgotten. There was a lot of bonhomie between the teams, and it is rather unfortunate that we rake up the issue here in such a tasteless and crass manner. Besides, there is so much to write funnily about India; this minor incident deserves no place here. Put in something FUNNY that everyone, not ust cricket watchers, would understand. And feel like laughing.--Sillierrabbit 05:14, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Have edited this talk-page! You can tell that they're morons if they can't SIGN THEIR POSTS!!!! --User:Scofield/sig 13:08, October 12, 2011 (UTC)
Hey I tried to edit this page and add some entries, I couldn't be bothered signing up so don't have a username but an IP address. I agree that not everything I wrote is a work of genius the stuff that had made it onto this page is just terrible. I think that my entries were politically incorrect and surprisingly makes me think that this site is moderated in such a way as to avoid actual controversy. Am I allowed to try again? Or is my IP address banned from the editing process? I read the suggested articles on spammers and how to be funny. I don't think this was the problem, I think the content may have been to heavy. I can try to lighten the load. But did you have to delete everything I entered, isn't there some room to allow others to make changes, add or detract and collaborate? --KL16 (talk) 14:23, April 6, 2012 (UTC)KL16
- Actually it was me who undid your edits. Rather than being funny or witty you degenerated into stupid. Some of it was okay, but I wasn't going to sift through it to find it - especially when you added back stuff I had previously removed verbatim. Read HTBFANJS before you try again. User:PuppyOnTheRadio/sig3
- You were not moderated because of your political views. We DO NOT do that here. You were moderated because your edits were not that funny. Some of what you added was actually OK, but you wandered off into a bit of a long drizzly boring rant where you appeared to forget that you are meant to be entertaining the reader. We will allow you to say virtually anything you like in an article. IF it is funny enough. My advice... Create and account here and edit using that. ... Try editing again, but this time be more concise and remember that quality not quantity is important. Have fun. ... Puppy if someone has taken that much time to make an edit you should take the time to use "undo" and leave a comment explaining the reason for the revert rather than just hitting rollback so that way the user has some idea of why. If you feel that you don't have enough time to monitor and check the changes on RC then please don't. MrN http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/4/4e/HalIcon.png http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/e/e1/Goldboobs_Improved.jpg 13:28, Apr 6
Ok well thanks for your feedback. I understand there was a lot of content but if some of it was ok I would appreciate that those parts could be left alone so that others would have something to work on in future. I did add the contents of my previous edits in various stages, obviously with various degrees of success, but I would appreciate not being completely wiped. It's almost impossible to come up with good satire on India because their humor is generally very insular and inaccessible to outside readers and it's easy to become too offensive. I want this to be a funny page over time and will keep trying. Would appreciate moderators who take the time to differentiate the crap from the funny bits. Cheers --KL16 (talk) 13:50, April 6, 2012 (UTC)KL16
Oh and at the moment almost nothing about this page is even remotely funny or amusing so I don't know how any of the content is here at all except that based on the discussion there has been widespread disagreement on how to satirise India. Trust me it's a very satirisable place! Hope this can be improved upon good luck everyone! --KL16 (talk) 13:49, April 6, 2012 (UTC)KL16
- My advice... Actually DO SERIOUSLY read HTBFANJS. THAT WILL HELP. Honest. ;) MrN http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/4/4e/HalIcon.png http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/e/e1/Goldboobs_Improved.jpg 13:53, Apr 6
OK NP MrN, have done, will try again once I get some sleep to recuperate my sense of humour :S Happy Easter! --KL16 (talk) 13:59, April 6, 2012 (UTC)KL16
- And as for the other aspect - MrN suggested that I undo as opposed to rollback. In retrospect he was correct and I over reacted. I've restored your previous edits and then removed them again, which means you can find them in the history of the page here. Another little bit of advice - a good article starts from a good concept. Work out what you want to be your angle (or angles) for the articles and then build it up from there. A lot of what is in this article can be torn down and then you can rebuild from a position of less clutter. You could also create User:KL/India as a starting point and copy across the entire article and then build it up again. As for criticising Indians - I'm not innocent at all. User:PuppyOnTheRadio/sig3
Thanks Puppy! I appreciate the feedback and don't profess to be much of a comedian. I do understand what you mean, just had to stand up for some of the underlying concepts. That article on number bases is pretty savvy btw. ;) --KL16 (talk) 14:15, April 6, 2012 (UTC)KL16
- Like Puppy says, this article is tagged with a "fix" tag which means that we acknowledge that it sucks. Feel free to edit the whole thing and improve all of it, rather than just adding new sections. It really needs hacking with a hatchet! I hope you understand how to look in the page history to find your old edits. Just keep the good parts and remember less is more. Also... DO READ HTBFANJS or at least some of it! MrN http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/4/4e/HalIcon.png http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/e/e1/Goldboobs_Improved.jpg 14:23, Apr 6
Well, the article has now been edited loads, and improved a lot. Not by me, but by them. Yes. They did it. However we still encourage lots of new edits to this article, but... If you do decide to edit it, please read the whole page first, and make sure that your changes fit in with the rest of the article. MrN http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/4/4e/HalIcon.png http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/e/e1/Goldboobs_Improved.jpg 17:43, Apr 13

The Evolving Tradition of MALACHIM Jewish Angel Cards
The tradition of MALACHIM began in a circle of friends in Jerusalem in the late 1980s. We sang the beloved song Shalom Aleichem to honor the beginning of Shabbat (the Sabbath), noting that the words of the song welcome the "messengers/angels of peace," which are said to frequent the homes of those who celebrate Shabbat (Talmud, Tractate Shabbat, page 119a). I created a set of MALACHIM, messages, to accompany our singing.

See Outtake Photos + Video From Rihanna's GQ Shoot
Outtakes -- in both photo and video form -- from Rihanna's GQ cover shoot have been posted, and it's about to get really hot in here. The cover itself, featuring RiRi in a cropped leather jacket and using her hands to cover her lower lady parts, was scorching. The outtakes are no less heat-seeking.
The outtake photos see the singer sprawled out on an old-fashioned leather couch, cupping her breasts, and in an off-the-shoulder, grey jersey top, showing off her tattoos, which are sprinkled all over her body. There is a bit of delicacy in these shots, as well.
The behind-the-scenes video finds RiRi posing for the camera, in that same off-the-shoulder top and without any shirt or bra at all. Of course nakedness is a state of being that RiRi is super comfortable with. She is primped, primed and smiling, being effortlessly sexy for about a minute and 23 seconds. Since that's what RiRi does best!
There is no interview footage nor is there any chatting in the clip. It's just Rihanna in all of her superhot glory. The subtle video, featuring some music, ups the sexiness and mystique factor, too.
Hotness, thy name is Rihanna.

World Population Growth: Fertile Ground for Uncertainty
Washington, D.C.—Growth in the human population abounds despite falling fertility rates, and where it heads in the future will continue to confound demographers, according to the latest Vital Sign Update from the Worldwatch Institute. With the number of women of childbearing age growing and future fertility trends unpredictable, closing the "gender gap"—the difference between women's health, economic, educational, and political status relative to men—may be one key to slowing population growth.
Robert Engelman, Worldwatch Vice President for Programs and author of the forthcoming book More: Population, Nature, and What Women Want, challenges assertions that world population is "expected" to be slightly higher than 9 billion people in 2050, up from today's 6.7 billion. Demographers with the United Nations and other agencies produce a range of population projections, since there's no certainty about future fertility rates or life expectancies. The projections, which range from less than 8 billion to nearly 11 billion people worldwide by mid-century, all assume continued declines in childbearing, which are not guaranteed to materialize.
"Sustaining further declines in childbearing and increases in life expectancy...will require continued efforts by governments to improve access to good health care, and both trends could be threatened by environmental or social deterioration in future decades," Engelman writes. "The uncertain future of these factors makes population growth harder to predict than most people realize."
While life expectancies have been rising and fertility rates have been falling worldwide over the past few decades, government spending on international family planning and related reproductive health services has stagnated in recent years, the new Update indicates. Current spending is well below what would be needed for global population to stabilize based on low birthrates.
"Governments will need to increase their spending significantly in these areas before fertility rates are likely to reach the low levels assumed in the most commonly cited population projections," Engelman said. One result, he noted, is that half of all women from 15 to 49 in developing countries risk unintended pregnancy because they are sexually active but using contraception improperly or not at all.
In contrast to the global trend, fertility actually ticked
upward in 2006 in the
One positive indication for the future of population worldwide is a correlation between high female status and low fertility. Based on statistical work by the United Nations Population Division and the World Economic Forum, Worldwatch identified this correlation when comparing national fertility rates with scores on a global "gender-gap index" in 128 countries.
"Tackling the gender gap between men and women worldwide is critical for the well-being of half the world's population," Engelman said. "An added benefit is that when women have the same health status, rights, and opportunities as men, population growth is more likely to slow and eventually end. That is essential for both social and environmental sustainability."

text: Wimbledon - John Isner will play on Centre Court at Wimbledon for the first time on Thursday, a privilege that he eagerly awaits. The bonus? It's his first Olympics, and his opponent is Roger Federer, winner of a record-equalling seven titles at the All England Club. "It's going to be a very fun experience," said No 10 seed Isner, who described the chance to play the world No 1 on Wimbledon's main court in the quarter-finals as "pretty special." After that match, third-seeded Maria Sharapova plays Kim Clijsters in the quarter-finals on the same court. Sharapova, who dropped the first set before recovering to beat No 15-seeded Sabine Lisicki of Germany, 6-7 (8/10), 6-4, 6-3, said she and the Belgian, who plans to retire after the US Open, know each other's games well even though it is their first meeting on grass. "She's such a tough competitor, such a great mover," said Sharapova, who is herself known for competitive fire. "She has so many great qualities as a tennis champion. It's always nice to face against her, especially at this stage of an event like the Olympics." Isner is not just looking to experience a moment on the big stage when he plays Federer. While he is 1-3 against the Swiss, he beat him in four sets when they played in Davis Cup in February. Isner said that having the knowledge that he can defeat Federer is critical and that he will go into the match believing that he can win. Then there is his ferocious serve, a weapon that is especially effective on the fast surface of grass. Isner had 22 aces, never faced a break point and won 54 of 59 points on his first serve in a 7-5, 7-6 (16/14) win over No 7 Janko Tipsarevic of Serbia in the third round. Isner needed six match points to close the victory, which came when Tipsarevic double-faulted. Federer endured two rain delays and beat Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan, 7-5, 6-3, and later lost in doubles with Stanislas Wawrinka, with whom he won a gold medal at Beijing in 2008. The four-time Olympian has yet to win a singles medal. "We know he's got one of the best serves on tour, if not the best," Federer said of Isner, who is 6 feet 9 inches (2.06 meters) tall. "That obviously makes it complicated getting into rallies, into rhythm. That's grasscourt tennis." Isner said he knew exactly what he needed to do, and not do, against Federer. "He's the hottest guy on the tour, he's back to No 1 in the world. I'm going to have to serve well," said Isner, who described his form coming into the Olympics as "on a roll", having won seven of his eight previous matches and a title on grass at Newport in the United States. He had lost in the first round of Wimbledon to Colombian Alejandro Falla, who in turn lost to Federer in the first round of the Olympics. "I have to go for my shots. Anytime I get a ball I can hit, I'm going to have to hit it big because I can't rally with Roger," Isner said. "It's as simple as that. If I try to get in rallies with him, he's going to beat me." He said he planned to be aggressive on his service returns, without being "too crazy," and that he didn't stand a chance if Federer took the offence. Also Thursday, No 1 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus plays seventh-seeded Angelique Kerber of Germany; Serena Williams of the United States plays Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark; and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France faces second-seeded Novak Djokovic. Venus Williams squandered a lead in each set Wednesday and lost her third-round match to Kerber, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (5). Seeking a record fourth gold medal in Olympic tennis, Williams still has a shot with sister Serena in doubles. They play in the quarterfinals Thursday. Earlier on Wednesday, Serena Williams hit 12 aces and rocketed groundstrokes past No 13-seeded Vera Zvonareva to win 6-1, 6-0. Djokovic beat Lleyton Hewitt of Australia 4-6, 7-5, 6-1. No 3 Andy Murray of Britain rallied past Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus 4-6, 6-1, 6-4, and will play Nicolas Almagro of Spain. Four-time Grand Slam champion Clijsters beat former No 1 Ana Ivanovic of Serbia. Clijsters, who is playing in her first Olympics, said retirement was not on her mind and that she was sticking to professional routines honed over nearly two decades of playing "I've been focusing on my matches," she said. "I'll do that until I play my last match."

One thing that always confuses me: Let's say I do software RAID. So just buy a JBOD device. It still has some "controller" on it, correct? Is the quality of this controller very critical or not so much? And if a unit advertises itself as Hardware RAID can I still use it as JBOD mode? There seems more hits for "RAID" out there than for "JBOD". Maybe I am looking up the wrong keyword. -- Rahul

Big Dick Energy hit the internet last week after Ariana Grande said that her fiancé Pete Davidson was well-endowed. New York Magazine wrote a piece about what they call "Big Dick Energy" and a meme was born.
But in academia, studying BDE is a no-go.
A Missouri State University professor had hoped to complete a study on penis size and self-esteem, but she discontinued it after a week-and-a-half.
The reason? "Alicia Walker realized that the survey responses were skewed and that some of them were jokes, in part due to inaccurate media coverage of the study," reads a report on the website World University Rankings.
Walker is an assistant professor of sociology at Missouri State University-Springfield.
"The study called for up to 3,600 male participants over the age of 22 to respond to a survey that asked about their size, self-image, sexual relationships and sexual habits," the World University Rankings post continues. "She also asked for photographs of them measuring their genitalia to ensure consistent measurement technique. No identifying information was collected with the surveys or photos, and according to a statement by Missouri State, all the submitted photos and surveys have already been destroyed and were never viewed. Walker had also been conducting qualitative interviews by email or phone, which will not continue."
Walker was accused by critics that claimed she was collecting "dick pics." They claimed that she was "only looking to prove that men with small penises had lower self-esteem, which affected her data pool. The data were skewed towards men of below-average size and prevented Walker from discovering if high self-esteem correlated with men who were above average," reports WUR.
"With the widespread misrepresentation of the study's aims and methodology, you have to question what's happening to your participant pool," Walker wrote. "I'd fielded emails from men who [said that] they had purposefully responded with joke answers (for example, some reported uploading pictures of SpongeBob and other cartoon characters, their pets, etc.) in an effort to throw the study's findings into jeopardy."
She also received abusive emails and phone calls. Saying that they were only a small minority, nonetheless "Every single one of them specifically mentioned that they were upset that I as a woman would dare do this study," she wrote. "I asked why my gender made a difference, and none of them could tell me. Knowing that these folks wouldn't have said anything had I been a male researcher was beyond frustrating."
Ironically after announcing her decision to close the study, she received an outpouring of support from men.
"I have had so many men beg me to do the study anyway. So many men have messaged to say that they have absolutely no outlet to discuss this. They cannot talk to their male friends because they will only get ridicule," she wrote. "This study was an opportunity for them to vent and process."

Red Wings Firsts: Xavier Ouelletby Staff Writer / Detroit Red Wings
DETROIT – Xavier Ouellet's time in Detroit last season may have been short, but it was very sweet.
The 20-year-old was called up from the Grand Rapids Griffins on Oct. 21 and made his NHL debut with Detroit during the team's 1-0 shootout loss to San Jose. The defenseman skated in place of Jonathan Ericsson, whose fiancé delivered the couple's first child, a daughter named Liv.
"I was really excited," Ouellet said of making his debut. "I was happy to have my opportunity and I just wanted to get the best of it. It's a loss so it's kind of hard to say I feel good but I'm pretty proud of my game. There are a few things to still work on but it was really exciting and a great experience."
The Bayonne, France, native returned to Grand Rapids the following day, and appeared in three more regular-season games throughout the season, making a lasting impression on his coaches and teammates during his short time wearing the Winged Wheel.
"I think he played very well, he made it easy on myself too," defenseman Brendan Smith said. "I think he's got a lot of skill and he understands the NHL or the professional way to play. You have to get the puck in the top guy's hands, we have some great forwards and he understood that. He made the easy, simple play and that's how he stayed out of trouble and it actually ended up working out really well for our D pairing."
Ouellet recorded one shot on goal and one hit in 17:15 of ice time against the Sharks, including a hit on San Jose's Joe Thornton that couldn't be ignored.
"I thought he was great," goaltender Jimmy Howard said. "He did a great job keeping everyone in front of him. He battled, he had a big hit on Joe (Thornton) there in the first, first game of many for him. He wasn't afraid to be out there against him and that's great to see, for X to step up and put a guy of his stature on his rear end."
It was Ouellet's first hit, and one that stuck out in his mind after the game.
"I'm pretty proud, I did what I had to do and we'll see what the coaches think about that," he said.
The coaches noticed, too. Coach Mike Babcock liked Ouellet's play through training camp, and recognizes that as a young defenseman, it's not always about making big plays, but more often about how few mistakes you make.
"Obviously we want them to play and make nice easy plays," Babcock said. "We want them to do it every time. That's what Nick Lidstrom made a career of. It's not a bad way to play. We talk about it all the time. Sometimes we turn the puck over a little too much. … "
In 23 shifts during his debut, Ouellet avoided committing any turnovers and spent his time on the bench soaking up knowledge from his fellow defensemen. Smith spent a lot of time after shifts talking to Ouellet to ease the transition between the Griffins and Red Wings systems, a gesture that the rookie greatly appreciated.
"They're the best players in the world so I learned a lot, how to prepare and get ready on the ice talking and just learning how to play with a lot of structure," Ouellet said. "These are things I learn every day here."
Ouellet took advantage of every minute spent in Detroit, learning as much as he could from the veteran players. As Smith mentored the young defenseman, he was reminded of a situation he was all too familiar with.
"I did that whole stint where I was up and down, I got my few games in here and there and it was always exciting," Smith said. "I think you just have to be a sponge and learn from all of the veterans and that's what I did when I came here. I got to learn from Nick (Lidstrom) and (Niklas) Kronwall and all the guys that are here now. I think that's the biggest thing for him is just to keep your eyes and ears open and just keep learning so when you get here you stay here."
Ouellet appeared in four games with the Wings last season, recording four shots and two penalty minutes.
Through 70 regular-season games with the Griffins, he produced four goals and 13 assists.

Choosing a photographer isn't easy: You want someone who understands your style, is easy to work with and most of all, someone you trust. The following guidelines will help you choose a photographer who will record your sentimental journey the way you want to remember it.
Know Where to Look
Ask recently married friends for recommendations or consult wedding professionals (catering-hall managers, wedding consultants, bridal salon owners, etc.) for suggestions. Open up the Yellow Pages or, better yet, check out Brides.com's Local Services sections. You may be able to see samples of their work online.
Think About What You Want
Are you into a photojournalistic style, where you get lots of candids, instead of posed, shots? Or do you like a more traditional look, with every picture artfully set up? "The most important thing is finding somebody whose style fits yours," says Ray Pfeiffer of Anything Photographic in Buffalo, NY. "If the photos in the portfolio aren't what you want, use someone else. Even if the photographer says he can do it, most of the pictures will be what he's used to doing."
See the Proof
Ask to see a client's proof book—the collection of all the shots the photographer took at a wedding. It'll give you a more accurate picture of his work. "You see everything, not just the best work," explains Diane Sattler of Sattler Studios and Indelible Images in Mount Kisco, NY.
Ask About Specialties
Many photographers have mastered special techniques, such as hand-coloring, infrared, black-and-white, or sepia-tone photographs. These unique effects will set your album apart. Also, ask to see all album choices (leather? cloth? colors?) to be sure you like the "whole package." Don't forget to ask about digital photography, too. When it comes time to send photos to everyone, it's a lot easier to just upload a file and set up a wedding site for friends and family to visit.
Get to Know the Photographer
Your photographer will be by your side all day, so your personalities should click. "Nothing will put a bigger damper on the day than having to deal with somebody you think is a real jerk," says Pfeiffer.
Beware of the Bait and Switch
Make sure you're meeting with the person who will take your pictures—and that you're seeing his work. At some studios, a marketing person talks to you, but then you're assigned to a freelance photographer whose work you haven't seen.
Make a Battle Plan
The photographer should have a good sense of how to keep the day running smoothly. "If a photographer isn't organized, you can miss the whole cocktail hour," warns Sattler. "Ask how and when they will shoot the formal photos."
Ask for Backup
Find out if the photographer brings extra equipment and film in case something goes awry. If he doesn't, you may risk missing the ring-exchange shots because the flash was on the fritz. Also, make sure there's a backup photographer in case of an emergency.
Hire Extra Help
If you have a large wedding party, a photographer's assistant may be worth the extra cash. He or she will organize the shots, fix your train, and hold backup equipment so the photographer can snap shots more easily and quickly. "Weddings are so hectic, and one person can't be in all places at all times," Sattler says. "If you get two photographers, you have two different perspectives on the wedding, two people capturing the details. Nothing is lost."
Check References
Your potential picture-taker should have a list of former clients. Call a few to see how satisfied they were with their pictures.
Handle the Nitty-Gritty
Find out about the payment plan, how many proofs you'll get, how much time they'll spend shooting at your wedding, and what packages they offer. Be sure you get everything in writing, in your contract.
Remember That Photos are a Worthwhile Investment
"Pictures appreciate in value," says Pfeiffer. "As time goes on, you forget things, and pictures are the only record you'll have.

Observing World AIDS Day
Observing World AIDS Day
Today, December 1, we commemorate World AIDS Day. This has been a year of reflection as we marked the 30th anniversary of the first reported cases of AIDS on June 5, 1981. AIDS is still here, and it affects all of us in the U.S. and around the world. AIDS has been, and continues to be, an important issue for the disability community, which has worked diligently to end stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS and ensure that they have access to job skills training, employment services, housing and other supportive services.
This year has also been a year of hope; the result of key scientific and policy advances that now make it possible for us to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Now, it is time to look to the future.
Call for an AIDS-Free Generation
In her November 8th speech, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton issued an historic call for U.S. government leadership of worldwide efforts to achieve an "AIDS-free generation" by building on successful investments in HIV prevention, care, treatment and research.
Implementing the National HIV/AIDS Strategy
One of those key "investments" has been the development of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy(NHAS). It has been more than a year since the release of the Strategy, which sets ambitiousgoals for addressing HIV/AIDS in this country. Since then, there have been community implementation dialogues across the nation and federal agencies have prepared and are now implementing operational plans that detail how they are pursuing the NHAS goals. We encourage you to review those plans, especially those of the Department of Labor and the Social Security Administration.
AIDS 2012 Comes to the United States
For the first time in more than 20 years, the International AIDS Conference returns to the U.S. in July 2012. More than 25,000 people will come to Washington, D.C. from all over the world to share the latest HIV research and engage in dialogue about ending the epidemic. This is an opportunity for the disability community to share lessons learned about the HIV/AIDS epidemic with colleagues from around the world. This week, the U.S. government launched a dedicated webpage for information about the conference.
Observing World AIDS Day
Please take a moment today to honor those lost to HIV/AIDS, celebrate how far we have come in 30 years and rededicate yourself to joining our efforts to achieve the vision of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and bring about an AIDS-free generation. If you have not decided how to observe the day, here are three simple ideas:
1. Participate in Facing AIDS. For the fourth year in a row, people all over the United States are sharing their messages to end the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS. You can download a sign and write a message about why you are "facing AIDS," take a picture of yourself holding the sign and upload it to the Facing AIDS gallery.
2. Encourage someone to get an HIV test – and get one yourself. Testing is one of the primary ways to end the spread of HIV, because people who know their HIV status can take measures to protect themselves and their partners. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that about 240,000 people in the U.S. who are living with HIV don't know they are infected. Use the HIV/AIDS Prevention and Service Provider Locator to find an HIV testing location near you.
3. Use new media. Follow our AIDS.gov blog – featuring posts from the CDC, Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other federal partners – and tweets from AIDS.gov. Join the conversation on social media by using the hashtag #WAD11 when sharing your thoughts about World AIDS Day on Twitter or Facebook.
We encourage you take time to reflect and take action on World AIDS Day.
As President Obama observed, realizing the vision of the NHAS "will require the commitment of governments at all levels, businesses, faith communities, philanthropy, the scientific and medical communities, educational institutions, people living with HIV and others." This includes, of course, the disability community, which has been a solid ally in the response to HIV/AIDS for decades.
By Miguel Gomez, AIDS.gov Director
(Cross-posted from Disability.Blog)
Miguel Gomez is the director of AIDS.gov , which directs visitors to federal domestic HIV/AIDS information and provides practical guidance on how HIV/AIDS programs can use new media tools. Miguel introduced podcasting as a regular feature on AIDS.gov and also hosts a blog that showcases the use of new media for HIV prevention, testing, and treatment. He has been working on HIV/AIDS issues since 1984 as an advocate at the Gay Rights National Lobby (GRNL), which provided services and support to some of the first AIDS service organizations in the nation. Miguel has since held positions with the National Council of LaRaza, national AIDS organizations and the federal government.

Bacterial and fungal cultures were performed from cloacal swabs collected from 29 wild Nile crocodiles, captured in the Okavango Delta, Botswana. Sixteen species of bacteria and 6 fungal species were cultured. Individual crocodiles yielded bacterial species, and 0-2 fungal species. The most commonly isolated bacteria were Microbacterium, Enterococcus faecalis, Aeromonas hydrophila, and Escherichia coli. No salmonellae were cultured. The most commonly occurring fungus was Cladosporium. Several of the bacterial and fungal species isolated have been implicated in cases of septicaemia in crocodilians. Knowledge of the normal intestinal flora will contribute towards the development of a crocodile-specific probiotic for use in farmed crocodiles.

I set out to make a simple cotton top with this white fabric. I was a little bit excited by the fact that taking a square piece of fabric could give you these cute little "sleeves". It was really simple to cut and put together the only thing that may have been difficult would be the placket. But being the cheater that I am I decided to make pretend button holes by doing a zig zag stitch in a straight line beneath where the button would sit. And hey it's not like I'm likely to unbutton it when I can pull it straight over my head right?
As it turns out I think it may well be very similar to the Port Elizabeth Top on BurdaStyle.
Oooh and I got to use buttons from my stash! That's 10 down 390 to go!

There was some talk after the first round of the draft, where Guelph Storm defenceman Matt Finn was left standing, that he may fall to his hometown team Toronto for the No. 35 pick.
As it turns out, Finn, listed 6'0″ 197 by the Storm, became the second defenceman chose by Burke, and the second chosen who grew up rooting for the Leafs. Finn, who stylizes himself as a two-way defenceman with good hockey sense and a high compete level, was left available for the Leafs with their early second round selection.
"I played all sorts of minutes with Guelph. I quarterbacked the powerplay and ran the penalty kill."
He's a big kid who draws a lot of rave reviews by the folks who cover the OHL present in Pittsburgh this weekend. He's described as a strong two-way guy who is a very complete skater, and tremendously agile for his size. He had 10 goals and 48 points with Guelph last season.
Finn said he preferred the penalty kill, which is odd, since Bryan McCabe and Mats Sundin, his two favourite players growing up, are known more for their offence than their defence.
Born in Toronto, he was also a member of the Bud Club growing up, and "now a member of the real club. I may have a couple of Carlton bears left over."

text: Libya, situated along the Mediterranean in North Africa, is dominated by desert and semi-desert terrain. Like many of its neighboring countries, Libya was subject to the colonization period, or the "Scramble for Africa." In 1947, Italy relinquished control of the country, and since 1969, Libya has been ruled by dictatorship. Passports and visas are required for entry into Libya for all nationalities except nationals of Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Mauritania, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey. Libyan immigration requirements frequently change without warning so take heed before leaving.
