LOL! Probably, the research would add more value when done on a regional-scale, spanning at least a dozen countries. What say you?

From what I witnessed in some of the European countries, I presumed that the US is LGBT-friendly. This article is an eye-opener to me. Thanks to Saroj!

May be yes. Black is a mixture of all colors..absorbs all colors. Black hole-just a void space where you may not see any color.

Even 'm not a flower person. But this one caught me eye 'coz this was the only flower that I could spot at that point of time. That's, usually, a trekkers path, and, who knows the others would have just perished by the trampling of insensitive trekkers.

I love it! And sadly, I recognize #14 as a science fair experiment done by high school students with the help of our lab. We used the standard ceramic tile floor....oh, and there is largely no difference in the contamination with relation to time, but surface area and moisture content of foodstuff was significantly correlated to numbers of bacterial colonies. gotta love it....

Kudos!! I love the sentiment that 'we are all human first'. Growing up in a conservative family in the midwest, i really didn't become aware of homosexuality until my teens, and never witnessed homosexual kissing until I was in college (I totally did double-take - not my most graceful moment ;). While most my family is still very conservative, I think the US is slowly moving to accept LGBT as an equal lifestyle choice. It's hard, because the US is very polarized at the moment - much more so than in earlier generations. Building bridges between diffferent viewpoints is increasingly necessary. I hope you bring sensitivity and understanding to the medical field - it is sorely lacking sometimes.

I once read that the evil was colorless (Robin McKinley, Sunshine, great book) and i'm inclined to agree. To borrow her words "i hadn't thought of evil as being without color, but it is. Once you get past plain everyday wickedness, the color is sqeezed right out of it. Evil is a kind of oblivion, having destroyed everything on it's way there" (p. 358). My heart goes out to your countrymen, and all those who have lost loved ones to senseless violence. And i heartily agree with the comment about cowardice - how can someone believe they are heroic when they are killing children? How can that concept be supportable?

I saw this on your photo page once before and felt an easily explained affinity. These 'morning glories' grow on the fence lines in the midwest (US) and easily here in Florida. Although not usually a flower person, I have always loved thier indominibility and grace. As nature is a force greater than what we can comprehend, it must by necessity put our petty differences into perspective. The reasoning for our suffering? Is it for a reward in the afterlife? Simply unavoidable? Got me. Perhaps it is just so that we have something that defines our moments of peace, or happiness.

I came face to face with the issue of one of my elder son's friends being gay. I am ashamed to state that I did not take it very well (on the inside) though I did not shame myself or my sons openly. I think we have a deep seated bias in my generation. The younger generation is more open. I wrote about my experience in my blog - do visit http://www.phoenixritu.com/2008/10/page/2/

Thanks, you touched on a sensitive topic! I thought the western societies are very much open to homosexuality and same sex marriages. But never knew that this freedom, recognition and openness is only to a certain degree. This is news to me..

Also, you are pretty good at pointing out Hinduism and its facts. To many Hindus, including fundamentalists, Hinduism is yet another religion - which in my opinion is hugely flawed.

Business is an offset of the actual notion. Grey is just a shade of black !!

I agree- it is way over loaded with text links. i think the last release had an amazing user interface which this one lacks. i suppose it is what happens when programmers design?

i think i'll keep my main blog http://www.mountainbikingnewzealand.co.nz as is until someone releases a plugin that changes it back to the older and sweeter interface and the bugs have been ironed out :D

I was reluctant to upgrade to the newest versions of Wordpress as and when they were available. However, once we put in some effort and upgrade to the new one, subsequent upgrades can be done at the click of a button. This is a major improvement in Wordpress CMS.. I'm just reluctant to upgrade this site, Ubiquitense, since 'm not sure if my current theme supports WP 2.7. Once 'm sure of this, I'll definitely upgrade to 2.7! All the best!!

I still haven't got around to upgrading my Wordpress installation. Reading this makes me less fearful, but after some wierdness in the past that broke a few things, I'm still putting it off :O))

Do you mean the logo at thevoiceswith.in? I think it looks cool. Probably, you may wanna change the font and include the tag line with a straight font. Lemme know once you've designed your logo!

Re: Would you mind owning a TATA Car?

ubiquit — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 01:46:16 -0000

Probably high-end versions are value for money. I dont see any value for money component in a 4 lac rupee Indica with cheap plastics and performance. Vista diesel might be an exception when it comes to performance as it has a Fiat engine..

Re: TATA’s one lakh car - pros & cons

enggarseotest — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 22:58:56 -0000

why can't I see the image.
i want to see the image.
I think, the most important think of owning car is for riding, not for a status.
