re: Why does my broker hold deposited funds

Me either.
I guess you're paying him to scam you. How does it feel to be the mark?

This is such a great movie. I love how expressive Abbie Cornish is in it. When I was watching it, it just jumped out how many actresses must use Botox.
Look when she smiles how the area around her mouth crinkles, as well as her eyes. And when she raises her eyebrows, her whole forehead moves.
If you look carefully, you'll notice that so many actresses how Botoxed their face and can't convey emotion. I don't know why, but it just turned me on so much. She's natural perfection.
What I wouldn't give to be a Romantic poet.
Women and opium.
Pity about the tuberculosis, but I guess it goes with the territory.

re: BP supports Cap and Tax
Posted by tigerpurple84 on 6/27/10 at 7:29 am to Dark Tiger
Cap and Trade is one of the most pro-business initiatives around.
It promotes diversification of revenue for energy companies, broadens the scope of potential customers and markets, and encourages research and development on sustainable non-carbon based power sources.
Why do you think BP would be against it? No pro-business person is against it.
Where are you getting your info on it? Are you a communist who doesn't know the difference between "their" and "there"?

Industry info/ IEEE
It's usually a combo of electrical, mechanical, process, and chemical engr. The old timers had EE or ChemE backgrounds and ended up in power. Programs fixed that so students graduating would have the needed skill set.
It's a huge field. Dartmouth, RPI, and Carnegie Mellon are the best on the east coast.
Berkeley, University of Washington, and Stanford are the best on the west.
U of Minnesota is the best in the mid-west.
UT and Texas A&M are pretty good in the south but those colleges fund petro more because of the regional demand.

Biomedical engineering is a good field too. There is a high demand to shift from human to robotic health care. Easy example would be a nurse who takes blood pressure to an automatic cuff that does it.
Another example would be surgery by robots.
In the same vein, business process re-engineering is in high demand, esp by multinational corporations. Brush up on your familiarity with Simprocess.
Petroleum engineering will be a declining field. With increase demand for efficient and sustainable fuels, it's clear that many first world countries are reducing the use of fossil fuels for energy. That's why I earlier mentioned power engineering.
Petroleum engineers of the 21st century will be the wagon wheel makers of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Informatics (information engineering) is a lucrative field. The starting salary for a search engine analyst is bc 125k and 150k and goes up to about 225k after about 5 yrs experience. Check monster.com for SEO, SEM, and QA/CM positions.
You can also look up salary range on salary.com.
Another tip...learn a foreign language. With the financial crash of a lot of countries, enterprises are doing a robust diversification of their revenue. English is good to know but Chinese and Farsi are right behind.
Being familiar with Bengali is good too.

World Cup Soccer Ball Flaws Acknowledged by FIFA
Posted by tigerpurple84 on 6/26/10 at 1:52 pm
Not saying it's the reason, but anyone think this might have something to do with why formerly incredible teams - Italy, France, etc. - are being ejected so early?
If those teams played with better quality balls in the WC, it would be logical to assume that it's because they trained with better balls.
If teams from countries with less football resources practiced with "supermarket" balls, they'd be used to training with inferior balls. And that's why they can control and score more.
Or is it just :blackheli:

Many players have likened the Jabulani to a "supermarket ball," saying it is too unpredictable and flies through the air too easily.
"We're not deaf," FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke said Saturday. "FIFA is not unreceptive about what has been said about the ball."

I love this video. It's Tarkovsky talking about art.
I love how he says art is the means to enhance human's goal to enhance spirituality.
For me, I've learned more about faith through his movies than all of the years I went to Catholic school (from K-12)
Tarkovsky on art 1
Tarkovsky on art 2

Andrei Rublev changed my life and thoughts on God.
And if I ever meet a woman who says she's seen Mirror (and liked it), I will marry her ON THE SPOT. :cheers:
Here's a link to polaroids taken by Tarkovsky. He was the man!

re: Let's Hear it For Jonah Hex...

Jonah Hill and Russell Brand..neither one are bankable actors, not even in the comedy realm. Hill is close, but needs the others in his group..especially Apatow..to be a draw.
^^^ This.
Brand is in the same boat as David Beckham and Robbie Williams. Adored in the UK and blown off in the US. I think the producers were thinking this would be a cross-over film for brand and that people would eat it up.
But unlike the Brits, we like our comedians dumb and non-threatening (Drew Carey). So in Get him the greek, Brand is yelling while running down a hotel hall "It's Kubrickian!"
The Brits would LOVE that joke.
Americans wouldn't even realize it's a joke.
Jonah Hex....from just seeing the previews...now THAT's Kubrickian. As in it's just all wrong and weird and you keep looking at your watch waiting for it to end.
re: Petition to lift the moratorium......
Posted by tigerpurple84 on 6/21/10 at 5:53 pm to Decatur
More than 155k signatures, and it's amounted to......nothing!
Where has this petition been used in any setting other than clogging up emails and scamming people to give their private information to be collected on an unsecure site?
The only thing that this petition will be used for is for the govt to see how ignorant the people of Louisiana are. Instead of sending verifiable letters - through the mail - it's clear that the people of LA don't actually want to do anything that will help them towards economic recovery. But it sure feels good to forward on junk mail! Yee haw!!!

To compare in the real world, a local government may require of a protesting group tackling a problem to not only require the signatures of people who sign their petitions, but also their printed name, and a way to verify the signature (either with a phone number or identification number via a driver's license or a passport) to ensure that the signature is legitimate and not falsified by the protestors.[2]
Many legitimate non-governmental organizations (NGOs) shun online petitions for various reasons.
The track record of online petitions is also another reason why many NGOs shun them, as there are very few examples of this form of petition achieving its objective, and critics frequently cite it as an example of slacktivism.

You yankees can go find your oil with whatever dictator or islamic country you wish to do business with. That is what Lord Obama wants anyway. We really dont need anything those northern states produce since they sent all their jobs overseas already. We have oil which they do need.

Ain't that the truth!
But what I'm talking about is not athletic ability. When Beckham plays, it's like him just being there sort of inspires the team to be tough and more aggressive.
He's mentally good for the team...they play with more passion. That game against Algeria...wtf was that?
