But it’s nothing you’d expect to submit when applying for a waiter job. The tasks performed by servers require skills such as short-term memory, physical agility, multi-tasking, and good personality — all of which can be executed equally as well by a person with average looks or undocumented hipster cred.</p> <p>A TV show like <em>Next Food Network Star</em>? Garza can hire any way she pleases. But a restaurant that screens servers based on how they look would seem to convey superficiality, rather than a great place to eat.</p> </blockquote>http://kindalikesorta.com/post/17693556833http://kindalikesorta.com/post/17693556833Wed, 15 Feb 2012 19:12:47 -0800discriminationrestaurantsfood<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyu9j048J61qz7t0xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://kindalikesorta.com/post/17679513389http://kindalikesorta.com/post/17679513389Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:27:33 -0800artfunnysubmission<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzbhjvEcXO1qzohh4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>BEWARE OF ARTISTS.

After being caught marrying Christian couples and helping Christians escape the persecution, Valentine was arrested and imprisoned. Although Emperor Claudius originally liked Valentine, he was condemned to death when he tried to convert the emperor. Valentine was beaten with stones, clubbed, and, finally, beheaded on February 14, 269.</p> <p>In the year 496, February 14 was named as a day of celebration in Valentine’s honor.

He asked music lovers to identify passages of songs that reliably set off a physical reaction, such as tears or goose bumps. Participants identified 20 tear-triggering passages, and when Dr. Sloboda analyzed their properties, a trend emerged: 18 contained a musical device called an “appoggiatura.”</em></p> <p><em>An appoggiatura is a type of ornamental note that clashes with the melody just enough to create a dissonant sound. “This generates tension in the listener,” said Martin Guhn, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia who co-wrote a 2007 study on the subject. “When the notes return to the anticipated melody, the tension resolves, and it feels good.”</em></p> <p><em>Chills often descend on listeners at these moments of resolution. When several appoggiaturas occur next to each other in a melody, it generates a cycle of tension and release. This provokes an even stronger reaction, and that is when the tears start to flow.</em></p> </blockquote> <p>There’s just about the most detailed scientific analysis of a Grammy-winning song ever <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203646004577213010291701378.html" target="_blank">at the link</a>.</p> <p><em>(via <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203646004577213010291701378.html" target="_blank">WSJ.com</a>)</em></p> </blockquote>http://kindalikesorta.com/post/17591972093http://kindalikesorta.com/post/17591972093Mon, 13 Feb 2012 20:03:38 -0800musicadelescience<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzclb3keTb1qz5v04o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>What a cruel male-dominated culture! </span></p> <p><span>Cartoon by </span><strong><a href="http://www.evanscartoons.com/index.php" target="_blank">Malcolm Evans</a></strong>, <span>found via <strong><a href="http://www.beautyredefined.net/" target="_blank">Beauty Redefined</a></strong> (check them out!)</span></p>http://kindalikesorta.com/post/17563188607http://kindalikesorta.com/post/17563188607Mon, 13 Feb 2012 12:09:03 -0800cartoonamericafashionwomenmen<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kl1ujzRidmU?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><strong>Facebook Parenting: For the troubled teen. </strong>Dad uses Facebook to teach daughter a lesson</p>http://kindalikesorta.com/post/17379428047http://kindalikesorta.com/post/17379428047Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:37:17 -0800videosocial media<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz616bP9Ap1qz5v04o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“I’ve never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines.
