Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Mineral makeup makes me break out in the summer. It's a winter-only thing for me. I prefer Alima to any of the others, FWIW.
Even if they don't have a peach shade.
Usually, I just wear Zia pressed powder these days.
Without having tried it, I seriously doubt it comes close to Seattle's Cafe Flora.
The only time I ate at Cafe Flora, I was seriously underwhelmed. Maybe I was there on a bad day.
I don't know of any rules regarding any change in head-covering after giving birth.
It's probably a convenience thing for Roxanna, like a new mother cutting her hair short so she doesn't have to worry about the child pulling on it and so she can wash-n-go in the mornings.
My company has a few Orthodox Jews working here, and they're very accommodating to their religious needs; Roxanna was able to work from home on Fridays long before telecommuting was widely available in this department, so she didn't have to worry about battling the Friday rush hour home before sundown.
I absolutely *love* it that you feel comfortable enough with me to ask. I remember, in fact, that you were quite attentive to when I washed my hands before eating and when I didn't, when we were walking around in NYC. I loved it then already!
Heh. Yeah, I'm always fascinated about that kind of thing, and was so glad that you would go into all of it for me! And that thing about the Indian hair is fascinating!
This is what oil money can buy. I bet they'll be the first to have flying cars too.
MM, we never even got that far. It was "we are theoretical phys-" and by the time we finished the word "theoretical", the door was already slammed in out faces, so to speak.
tommy, we use this when we teach the whole subject of traffic to kids.
What was fascinating is you could have traffic flowing smoothly, and all of a sudden it would just choke up and cars would be bumper to bumper. I've read about this too - it can happen when a highway is at significantly less than its maximum traffic capacity.
We explained that, using our model, too!
See, the thing is, if you have what is called a stable state, like the traffic flowing easily and all, but it's above a certain density of cars, the very minor changes in acceleration (really minor, nothing that the driver may even feel), may accumulate and not correct themselves and create a congested state. The solution was only meta-stable, if you want to use "math" words, and it collapsed to the stable one, which is of a jam.

That can be a huge thing, especially in the winter days, when the sun sets so early, shabbat may start on the early afternoon hours. That's so kind of your company.

I was so thrilled that you didn't only notice, but also tried to make sense of it all. I love explaining this stuff!

It was a huge deal, because a good wig can be really expensive, so throwing them out was a heavy economical burden. And yet, practically nobody protested, once the rabbis issued their decision. It was very impressive.
I'm kind of obsessed with the nuts-ness of Dubai. There was a great article a while back in the Atlantic about it -- the author was as sucked-in/repulsed as you'd imagine. And the whole city seemed to be full of immigrant workers saying, "Sure, my job is to clean these stairs with a toothbrush, and I work 14 hours a day, but holy crap -- I'm making like 10 times more than I could ever dream of at home!!"
Ridiculously cute Daily Puppy.
Am...ded...from...cute. Send...help. Or...puppies.
I have a performer friend who worked a gig in Dubai--basically wandering entertainment in one of the ritzy (no pun intended) hotels. Was horrible and boring except for the bit where it paid filthy lucre.
Some friends have an ongoing "what you gonna do after peak oil?" discussion going (answer: go to Jamaica where they probably won't notice), and they figure that Dubai is where the fat cats will hole themselves up.
Yuck. Have to page migraine specialist to see about hospitalisation.
Nilly I would love to read a copy of your paper. My profile addy is good.
