Small beige woman's cosmetics pouch found on the steps of Killian Court outside
Lobby 10 on 18 October just after 7 PM, with no identification. Has anyone
lost one? Mostly sundries inside, but I figured it was worth one e-mail.
Apologies to anyone feeling spammed.

ACT
A country road. A tree.
Evening.
Estragon, sitting on a low mound, is trying to take off
his boot. He pulls at it with both hands, panting. #
He gives up, exhausted, rests, tries again.
As before.
Enter Vladimir.
ESTRAGON:
(giving up again). Nothing to be done.
VLADIMIR:
(advancing with short, stiff strides, legs wide apart).
I'm beginning to come round to that opinion. All my life I've tried to
put it from me, saying Vladimir, be reasonable, you haven't yet tried
everything. And I resumed the struggle. (He broods, musing on the
struggle. Turning to Estragon.) So there you are again.
ESTRAGON:
Am I?
VLADIMIR:
I'm glad to see you back. I thought you were gone forever.
ESTRAGON:
Me too.
VLADIMIR:
Together again at last! We'll have to celebrate this.
But how? (He reflects.) Get up till I embrace you.
ESTRAGON:
(irritably). Not now, not now.
VLADIMIR:
(hurt, coldly). May one inquire where His Highness spent
the night?
ESTRAGON:
In a ditch.
VLADIMIR:
(admiringly). A ditch! Where?

I saw a really pretty girl. Not that she noticed me though... But I
don't worry, now that I'll have that awesome calendar, I'll have not
one, but twelve! girls to look at. And best of all, they'll look back at
me! I'll also have the vibrator after kwinn posts it on reuse-sextoys....
So yea, I like the idea of sharing on-the-spot thoughts about life,

The Kingdom of Belgium is a country in northwest Europe bordered by the
Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg, and France, with a short coastline on the
North Sea. It is one of the founding members of the European Union and hosts
its headquarters, as well as those of other major international organizations,
including NATO.[2] Belgium covers an area of 30,528 square kilometres (11,787
square miles) and has a population of about 10.5 million.
Straddling the cultural boundary between Germanic and Latin Europe, Belgium's
two largest regions are Dutch-speaking Flanders in the north, with 58% of the
population, and the French-speaking southern region of Wallonia, inhabited by
32%. The Brussels-Capital Region is an officially bilingual enclave within the
Flemish and near the Walloon Region, and has 10% of the population.[3] A small
German-speaking Community exists in eastern Wallonia.[4] Belgium's linguistic
diversity and related political and cultural conflicts are reflected in the
political history and a complex system of government.[5][6][7]
The name 'Belgium' is derived from Gallia Belgica, a Roman province in the
northernmost part of Gaul that was inhabited by the Belgae, a mix of
Celtic and
Germanic peoples.[8][9] Historically, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg
were known as the Low Countries, which used to cover a somewhat larger area
than the current Benelux group of states. From the end of the Middle
Ages until
the seventeenth century, it was a prosperous centre of commerce and culture.
From the sixteenth century until the Belgian revolution in 1830, many battles
between European powers were fought in the area of Belgium, causing it to be
dubbed "the battlefield of Europe"[10] and "the cockpit of Europe"[11] ? a
reputation strengthened by both World Wars. Upon its independence, Belgium
eagerly participated in the Industrial Revolution,[12][13] generating wealth
and also a demand for raw materials; the latter was a factor during the era of
its African colonies.[14]

Goddamn frosh. In case it wasn't obvious from the previous spam war,
or the currently ensuing spam war, you're wrong -- it's not worth one
e-mail. (It appears to be worth, ah, twenty and counting, but only
because of MIT flame war inflation.)
In reality, you shouldn't have sent the mail -- if everyone sent mail
to the undergrads every time you found some lost item, or lost some
item (*coughsweatshirtpledgepincough*), we'd be snowed under with
useless e-mail. (Unlike the current situation, where we're just
drowning in it... mmm, mixed metaphors.) Also, it's nigh-useless to
do so, since you failed to send mail to the grad students, faculty,
and staff, who are just as likely to have lost it as the undergrads.
The best solution -- given that the bag had no identification -- was
probably to just leave the bag on the steps and hope that the person
who lost it remembered that they did so and went to look for it.
In short, don't be a dumbass. Have a nice day.

Beer is the world's oldest[1] and most popular[2][3] alcoholic beverage. It is
produced by the fermentation of sugars derived from starch-based material ?
the most common being malted barley; however, wheat, corn, and rice are also
widely used, usually in conjunction with the barley. Less widely used starch
sources include millet, sorghum and cassava root in Africa, potato in Brazil,
and agave in Mexico, among others.
The starch source is steeped in water, along with certain enzymes, to
produce a
sugary wort which is then flavoured with herbs, fruit or most commonly hops.
Yeast is then used to cause fermentation, which produces alcohol and other
waste products from anaerobic respiration of the sugars. The process of beer
production is called brewing.
Beer uses many varying ingredients, production methods and traditions.
The type
of yeast and production method may be used to classify beer into ale,
lager and
spontaneously fermented beers. Some beer writers and organizations
differentiate
and categorize beers by various factors into beer styles. Alcoholic beverages
fermented from non-starch sources such as grape juice (wine) or honey (mead),
as well as distilled beverages, are not classified as beer.

Vlad III the Impaler (Vlad ?epe? IPA: ['tsepe?] in common Romanian reference;
also known as Vlad Dracula or Vlad Dr?culea and Kaz?kl? Voyvoda in Turkish;
November or December, 1431 ? December 1476) was Prince (voivode) of
Wallachia, a former polity that is now part of Romania. His three reigns were
in 1448, 1456?62, and 1476. In the English-speaking world, Vlad is best known
for the exceedingly cruel punishments he imposed during his reign and for
serving as the primary inspiration for the vampire main character in Bram
Stoker's popular Dracula novel.
As king, he maintained an independent policy in relation to the Ottoman
Empire,
and in Romania he is viewed by many as a prince with a deep sense of
justice[4]
and a defender of Wallachia against Ottoman expansionism.

[edit] Names
His Romanian surname Dr?culea, is derived from his father's title Dracul,
meaning affiliation to and/or descent from "Dracul" (see Vlad II Dracul); the
latter was a member of the Order of the Dragon created by Emperor Sigismund.
Vlad's family had two factions, the Dr?cule?ti and the D?ne?ti. The word
"dracul" means "the Devil" in modern Romanian but in Vlad's day also meant
"dragon" or "demon", and derives from the Latin word Draco, also meaning
"dragon".
His post-mortem moniker of ?epe? (Impaler) originated in his preferred method
for executing his opponents, impalement ? as popularized by medieval
Transylvanian pamphlets. In Turkish, he was known as "Kaz?kl? Bey" IPA:
[k?z?k???] which means "Impaler Prince". Vlad was referred to as Dracula
in a number of documents of his times, mainly the Transylvanian Saxon
pamphlets
and The Annals of Jan D?ugosz.
[edit] Wallachian royalty and family background
The crown of Wallachia was not passed automatically from father to son;
instead,
the leader was elected by the boyars, with the requirement that the
Prince-elect
be of nominally Basarab princely lineage (os de domn ? "of voivode bones", "of
voivode marrow"), including out of wedlock births. This elective
monarchy often
resulted in instability, family disputes and assassinations. Eventually, the
princely house split between two factions: the descendants of Mircea
the Elder,
Vlad's grandfather; and those of another prince, Dan II (D?ne?ti faction). In
addition to that, as in all feudal states, there was another struggle between
the central administration (the prince) and the high nobility for control over
the country. To top it off, the two powerful neighbors of Wallachia, the
Kingdom of Hungary and the Ottoman Empire, were at the peak of their rivalry
for control of southeastern Europe, turning Wallachia into a battle ground.
Order of the Dragon symbol
Order of the Dragon symbol
His father, Vlad II Dracul, born around 1395, was an illegitimate son
of Mircea
the Elder, an important early Wallachian ruler. As a young man, he had joined
the court of Sigismund of Luxemburg, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Hungary,
whose support for claiming the throne of Wallachia he eventually acquired. A
sign of this support was the fact that in 1431 Vlad II was inducted into the
Order of the Dragon (Societas Draconis in Latin), along with the rulers of
Poland and Serbia. The purpose of the Order was to protect Eastern Europe and
the Holy Roman Empire from Islamic expansion as embodied in the campaigns of
the Ottoman Empire.
Wishing to assert his status, Vlad II displayed the symbol of the Order, a
dragon, in all public appearances, (on flags, clothing, etc.). The old
Romanian
word for serpent (Cf. drac) is nowadays the most common and casual
reference to
the devil ? while the people of Wallachia did give Vlad II the surname Dracu
(Dracul being the more grammatically correct form), any connection with a dark
power was most likely coincidental. His son Vlad III would later use in
several
documents the surname Dr?culea. Through various translations (Draculea,
Drakulya) Vlad III eventually came to be known as Dracula (note that this
ultimate version is a neologism).
Vlad II finally became prince of Wallachia in 1436. During his reign he
tried to
maneuver between his powerful neighbors, opposing various initiatives of war
against the Ottoman, which finally attracted the irritation of the Hungarian
side, who accused him of disloyalty and removed him in 1442. With the help of
the Turks (where he also had connections) he regained the throne in 1443 and
until December 1447 when he was assassinated by means of scalping ("scalping",
for the Turks, meant cutting the edges of the face and pulling the face's skin
off, while the person was still alive and conscious[citation needed]) on the
orders of John Hunyadi, regent of Hungary.

luncheon meat is a canned precooked meat product made by the Hormel Foods
Corporation. The labeled ingredients in the Classic variety of Spam are:
chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat added, salt, water, sugar, and
sodium nitrite to help "keep its color". The product has become part of
many jokes and urban legends about mystery meat, which has made it part of
pop culture and folklore.
Varieties of Spam vary by region and include Spam Black Pepper, Spam Less
Sodium, Spam Garlic, Spam and Cheese, Spam with Bacon (Hormel bacon), Spam
Spread, Spam Fritters, Spam Lite (containing pork and chicken), Spam
Golden Honey Grail, Spam Hot and Spicy (with Tabasco sauce), Spam Hickory
Smoked, and Spam Oven Roasted Turkey[1] - the latter is a halal food,
meaning that it is permissible under Islamic law, and is especially
popular in Muslim markets.
Spam is produced in (among other places) Austin, Minnesota, USA (also
known as Spam Town USA). In 2002, the six billionth can of Spam was
sold.[2]. Spam for the UK market is produced in Denmark by Tulip under
licence from Hormel.

Email filtering is the processing of e-mail to organize it according to
specified criteria. Most often this refers to the automatic processing of
incoming messages, but the term also applies to the intervention of human
intelligence in addition to artificial intelligence, and to outgoing emails as
well as those being received.
Email filtering software inputs email. For its output, it might pass
the message
through unchanged for delivery to the user's mailbox, redirect the message for
delivery elsewhere, or even throw the message away. Some mail filters are able
to edit messages during processing.
Contents

* 1 Motivation
* 2 Methods
* 3 Customization
* 4 See also
* 5 External links
[edit] Motivation
Common uses for mail filters include removal of spam and of computer
viruses. A
less common use is to inspect outgoing e-mail at some companies to ensure that
employees comply with appropriate laws. Users might also employ a mail filter
to prioritize messages, and to sort them into folders based on subject matter
or other criteria.
[edit] Methods
Mail filters can be installed by the user, either as separate programs (see
links below), or as part of their e-mail program (e-mail client). In e-mail
programs, users can make personal, "manual" filters that then automatically
filter mail according to the chosen criteria. Most e-mail programs now also
have an automatic spam filtering function. Internet service providers can also
install mail filters in their mail transfer agents as a service to all
of their
customers. Corporations often use them to protect their employees and their
information technology assets.
[edit] Customization
Mail filters have varying degrees of configurability. Sometimes they make
decisions based on matching a regular expression. Other times, keywords in the
message body are used, or perhaps the e-mail address of the sender of the
message. Some more advanced filters, particularly anti-spam filters, use
statistical document classification techniques such as the naive Bayes
classifier. Image filtering can also be used that use complex image analysis
algorithms to detect skin-tones and specific body shapes normally associated
with adult-images (pornographic images).

Fernando, carnal!
Pero si usted parece ser de mexico!
And I have to totally agree with you.
tequila, -- a todo dar. Un caballito, con el limoncito... uyuyuyyy...
Pero puta, una peda con pulque es de lo peor... la cruda que deja...
Todavia me acuerdo del changarrito ese en Tepoztlan... Ay y luego de la
fiesta esa cuando fuimos todos a puerto escondido y se acabo el vodka y
la tequila; lo unico que quedaba era el pulque oaxaqueno que venden en
esos botecitos de barro... Todo iba bien, pero en la manana...
Hijodelaputisimamadredelachingada...
Oye y las chelas mexicanas... negra modelo, indio, nochebuena...
chupartelas viendo un partido de los pumas contra el america!
Ay... tiempos aquellos...
I miss life in mexico...

Hmmm I seem to have misplaced my copy of Rise and Fall of the Third Reich... can anyone help me find it? It's a fascinating read, I assure you.
