Throughout my college career, I could probably count on one hand the number of professors I've seen who wear wedding rings, and this includes professors who mention their spouses. Is this just coincidence, or is there something to it?

Quotation Filter: We'd like to have a quote painted on the ceiling over our dining room table. All of the ones we're turning up are coming up short. The basic idea is a celebration of happiness, warmth, friends, family and food.

My friend is getting married sometime this year, and I was thinking of doing a photo book, made up of my favourite recipes and my photos of the food (we are both into cooking). What else could I include in such a book?

I want to practice yoga early in the mornings. But it's got to be after bowel movement. Problem is, my bowel movements, though quite regular in terms of daily-ness, occur at odd times. Sometimes I have to wait 2 or 3 hours after waking, and that throws off the whole sched.
I also need to do yoga on an empty stomach, so eating something to stimulate the bowel movement isn't a solution. And I don't like coffee or cigarettes.
I do try to keep a regular sched, waking/sleeping at approximately the same time each day. So....do I have any other options for teaching my body to do its bizness first thing upon waking?

When applying for a job, how do I write a cover letter that doesn't sound contrived, and phony? The guides I've found don't seem all that helpful, especially considering most of the positions I'm applying for are entry level. General tips for writing a cover letter?

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the
Holodomor. The
Holodomor was the starvation of millions of Ukranians at the hands of the Soviets. The Ukranian government is using this year to push for greater recognition for the genocide. Ukranian communities in
Australia,
Canada and all over the globe are holding events all year in the lead up to this years Holodomor day on November 25.

Harvard Professor Samantha Power's book
A Problem from Hell is on syllabi across the country, and is the bible of
humanitarian hawks who decry our failure to intervene in the
Rwandan or
Sudanese genocides. As one of Barack Obama's foreign policy advisors, she's getting a lot of press for her positions:
pro-intervention, obviously,
critical of Israel,
pro-UN,
pro-internationalism, and, perhaps unsurprisingly given
her husband's role in ignoring the Rwandan genocide,
anti-Clinton.

Rape as a weapon of war: sexual violence and its consequences
Amnesty International offers a stirring and comprehensive account of what's going on in Darfur:
"When we tried to escape they shot more children. They raped women; I saw many cases of Janjawid raping women and girls. They are happy when they rape. They sing when they rape and they tell that we are just slaves and that they can do with us how they wish." [more inside]

I have one question which has three related parts:
Q1. What companies are out there which provide the technology to operate a phone sex business where I can concentrate on marketing and they take care of all the backend processing allowing the individual phone sex operators to dial in from their own home and talk with their clients who are charged per minute ?
I do not want to personally keep or maintain the software myself. I want to outsource this.
So the sex operators would "clock in" at will and recieve calls at any phone they like. This software should also use some sort of accounting to keep track of time spent for each operator.
Q2. Also, how are the phone sex operators paid ? by cashiers checks mailed out to them by Fedex ? This may not be practical especially if there are many operators.
Q3. Finally since this business does not involve any pornographic images are there any laws I need to abide by like having to keep records and making sure everyone is over 18 years of age ?

This question about board games elicited some great answers. I really need a good game for two players, however. My wife is a big backgammon and scrabble fan, and I'm looking for something else that we can play together. Any ideas are welcome.

The world (and universe) is an incredible place, as I've learned from awesome series such as Planet Earth and the Universe. What are some other high-quality mindblowing box sets? Or even just a single eye-opening documentary? I just want to watch something and leave with the sensation of, wow, the world is a crazy/amazing place.
