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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Crap! I just took a glance at the news and read that some of the would-be mine rescuers in Utah died. Not the way I wanted to start my day.
I think I will go and watch Jon Stewart from last night. While he lacks the power to make current events Better, he does make them more Bearable, as does this place....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The quesion in, ah, question was about capitalising names at the start of a sentence.
I'm just going to put it out there that maybe the guy screaming has Rage Issues.

hip deep in pie
I gave my feet a good exfoliation last night, then moisturized and put socks on. And I have to say, they feel pretty soft this morning.

Kristin, I'm glad you got inside with the groceries! It's always fun reading Natter in the morning and seeing the nights events in fast-forward.
Legal types - if anyone knows off the top of their head - I'm looking for a term that describes discrimination (in an employment context, for example) where independant discretionary decisions (like a promotion or something, for many people over a period of time) are made by a manager but the pattern of those discretionary decisions shows (not necessarily intentional) discrimination.
I'll look it up when I get home, but I'm curious now and it's distracting me.

I like that - it certainly gets the point across.
eta: The person making the decisions has defended his actions by saying "each one of those decisions was completely discretionary. The individual circumstances showed those people didn't qualify. I can't help it if they were al Puerto Ricans." But non-Puerto Ricans in the same circumstances were consistently approved.

"disparate impact" maybe, Stephanie?
How are you feeling these days?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Disparate impact sounds right.
