I signed up Facebook years ago. Then I've stayed out of circulation in that sphere since. Facebook is just not my cup of tea yet.

I used to haunt coffee shops.

It's been bruited about that the eventual actual procurement cost for F-35 jet fighters, which are a seemingly important sort of 5th-generation jet fighter made by Lockheed Martin, has soared to an estimated US$156 million each, from the earliest projection of US$50.2 million each.

See the 3rd paragraph of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-35_Lightning_II
and

I guess Canada will beef up its mettle and buy those F-35 air fighters anyway, largely due to its escalating concerns over the northern territory.

It looks probable that there will be a sea change in worldwide attitudes towards studying in a university in the U.S, whose cost has been soaring and soaring in the past decade or so and can hardly be justified for its intrinsic value in terms of education.

For one thing, see this: Should College Grads Get a Break on Their Loans? - Room for Debate - NYTimes.com .

Marriage is a work. I've worked hand in glove with my wife for the development of our life and family.

I'm happy that the internet technologies have broken the monopoly of the dissemination of knowledge by universities and publishing companies.
