She’s a dancer from 1915, which the combination between being a color photo from 1915 and the remarkable costume, the wings that conquer all my musings and the black and white ribbon wrapping her body. I love. Which lead me to look for more like it, and revisit Cleopatra. One afte

Startling Incompetence at ANSI Standards Group
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
I have always regarded standard-setting organizations as serious players who take care to keep slightly boring the work of establishing uniformity in products and protocols. But a press release from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) may cause me to reassess. “ IDSP Issues Report Calling for National Identity Verification Standard ” is the release, and it’s bristling with error and malformed policy assertions. IDSP is the “Identity Theft Prevention and Identity Management Standar

Don’t Want To Be Fat Anymore?: A Guide To Losing Weight
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
Think back to your younger years if you will. Think about your daily routine and how you ate. When I was a kid I remember hardly ever having to stay home from an illness. I was in good health and pretty active thanks to my parents feeding my brother and me balanced meals and for allowing us to play outdoors in the backyard or nearby tennis courts. Life was good then. Then when I started high school I remember rushing in the mornings hardly having time for breakfast. One time I microwaved

Most people carry at least two sets of keys in their pockets, bags, or purses: one set of keys is for the house while another is for the car.
