Beauty is something that's up to the individual to control. If someone doesn't like being feminine, they don't need to be.
There are plenty of feminine feminists. Feminism doesn't mean depriving anyone of the right to look the way THEY want to appear: it simply says, "you don't need to dress to impress anyone but yourself".
You can't "refuse to allow" someone to look how they want, for their own sake. Not yours.
Women already have a preconception to what beauty is and have been told what is beautiful by their mothers, sister, friends, and the one the are infatuated/in love with. It's a preset conception you have to break. What I precieve as beautiful is a wide, and honest to Gallifrey, completely lunatic. I'd tell them all, but then I'd tear a hole in the fabric of reality because I would have summed it up.
People don't exactly know what they want because they hobest to Gallifrey never had all the options right in front of them. People only had those 'options' because those were the ones previous exposed to them. Suddenly they have tons more shoved in their faces with the whole world screaming in their faces what is accepted, what isn't, what's going to happen if they don't pick this, what will happen if the pick that. You people overwhelm others who just suddenly pop up and you don't give them the chance to gather themselves and because of that they become what you wanted them to be. People argue that they wouldn't know what they want. Yeah, because you're not giving them time to think enough about what they want.
The problem is though, a human can't live alone without any human contact being exposed to it, or it dies! We're people of gathering, of protection. We seek out others so we aren't alone. And people follow others mindlessly because they are afraid of being abandoned and thrown away. That's why people will cling onto something irrational, because it's all they've ever known and they don't want to be exposed to the unknown.
Stop avoiding the subject and dancing around it. It's a serious problem! You are fighting over so many things and binding them together under one big word called "Problem" and address all of them as one, never breaking all the little itty bits apart and trying understand all the little details to see the the big picture. Now maybe I'm too optimistic, but is it a little bit too much to sit down and look at all the details? Hmmm?
...I don't even get what you're saying here.
That it's impossible to fix standards of beauty? Yeah sure, but that's not what I was even talking about...

Isn't Habitat a NON-PROFIT?As in "you probably won't get a JOB from them"?
Non profit doesn't mean you can't get a job with pay. The government, goodwill, IRS, and the food bank are non profit but you still get paid for working unless your a intern or volunteer.
True, but often they only offer volunteer positions or very low income jobs.
Not saying it's impossible to be paid in the nonprofit realm, but it's just rare to find one that can afford to pay its workers. However, given the size of Habitat, yeah, I guess they can.

As it regards Feminism, I'd have to say that I believe females to deserve all of the inherit rights that belong to any Human Being. However, it should be made clear that some "rights", are better left unhad. There was one female soldier, serving in Afghanistan(The Camp David incident), how can anyone not look at that woman and not think "deprived"? Deprived of her humanity, deprived of her elegance and beauty. To me, if that were my wife or my daughter, I'd feel sick to my stomach. I don't want an America where women are deprived of their beauty, made to be sex slaves or made to be ginny pigs to the army. Similarly, I don't want an America where the right to give child birth(once held sacred by the Feminine), is now seen as disposable.
Rather than career advancement, and equality of the sexes, Feminism has destroyed the feminine. And I refuse to allow it, I love women to much to see them degenerate into something very far from feminine.

These are outliers from the mainstream, so I'll list them first.
For strange old art film, Belladonna of Sadness is a sad but good pick~
Cool new art film and hilarity of human condition, Mindgame!
Typical stuff:
The films of Satoshi Kon (Paprika, Tokyo Godfathers, Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, etc)
Studio Ghibli films and shorts
OVAs by Gainax from their early era (Gunbuster and Diebuster)
The short film collections of Studio 4 degrees C
Though not anime, short films from graduates of the French animation school Gobelins are amazing.

I would speak to an educational counselor at the institution(s) you intend to attend for actual estimates.

What dudes (and hell, uninformed ladies) need to realize is: MOST feminists ARE NOT radicals.Believing so is akin to thinking all Muslim people support terrorist sects. It's misrepresentation of a very varied group of people due to the actions of a more visible, outlying minority among them.
I don't think this is a fair analogy since as a religion, you can pull out a variety of quotes from the Quran like this one,
Quran (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution [of Muslims] is worse than slaughter [of non-believers]... but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah" which would more than likely bring uncomfortableness in the room, leaving a sense of conflict(sometimes) with other parts of the Quran and it's "followers".
If someone claiming to be a feminist says something, considered "radical" it's easier to dismiss them as loonies/radicals/whatever.
Although out of curiosity, what do you think deviates from the "normal" feminist?
Normal, mainstream feminism these days constitutes the basic desire by anyone to have women's value equal to men's. Equal rights, pay, treatment, and respect.
"Feminism is the radical notion that women are people".
I'm not sure.
I don't see it as a "must-do" point to life, but if I find someone I could really envision myself with, I might.

Enough oil to cover the item with out it touching the bottom of the pot/fryer unless you have a basket.. still need to cover the item. I use a wok.yep, same.
I did a quick search to see if there'd already been a thread regarding these, but seems to be none.
So! COOKBOOKS! The great teachers of the skill-less hungry masses!
Do you have a favorite you refer to for the perfect way to cook a certain dish?
Heck, in this digital age, a favorite recipe site or online resource, either?
I know in my house we'll often refer to Julia Child's "The Art of French Cooking", the standard "Joy of Cooking" tome, or one of a few Martha Stewart volumes for recipe types. I also follow a few cooking blogs for new ideas.
What sources do you use?

Must the food be cooked in a deep fryer? Or can other frying methods be used (frying in hot oil in a pan, etc)?

I think some good ideas areA search page in the forums(easier than looking through all the pages to see if a topic has been posted)
Groups(like Yahoo groups)
A lifestyle and religion category
Also a chat room
There IS a search tool for the forums. Just look at the top of the main Forum page.
Groups: Chat Topics covers those.
Lifestyle section falls into Random or SD, usually.
Chat room: use the IRC channel, #fakku, on Rizon.
