After reading about this yesterday I made an examination of my facebook postings in my timeline over the entire 4 years I've been using it. I found absolutely nothing I would be embarassed about, and yet I would still refuse unless the job required a security clearance. Companies that want to vet prospective employees need to find a way to do so that doesn't invade privacy. The current job market may favor the employer over the prospective employee in terms of bargaining positions, but the terms of any job should include a right to personal privacy. I won't give that up.

I came here to complain about the shirt.woot connection. Someone beat me to it!

Those are quite clearly movie tie-in merchandise for the motion picture "The Fellowship of the Ring" and they are elvish arrow carving instruments.

Just wait until that poor kid discovers this:

It's a mold for making cranberry sauce into the shape of a can, for those who hate buying canned cranberry sauce but love the shape!

If you look at the power line pole and the trees on the side of the road on the picture on the left, you will see them on the picture on the right, about 200 yards down the road. And on the side of the road down there you can see construction equipment. So I'm guessing they aren't done with anything, but simply getting started right away.

It's not clear from the photo what they've actually done. It's great that they're out there working, but you can't see if anything is fixed yet at all, since the portion of the road seen on the left is out of view in the photo on the right. Google translate helps on the original japanese site, but not the text on the photos. The site says "The Great Kanto branch pipe is the most damage, Naka Mito Joban IC ~ IC (up line) is. Are currently working diligently recovery."
