I find not direction in the readings of those with whom my eccentricities are similar, but rather validation.

My only solace is that I find a peaceful place where I might be resigned to my depriving loneliness.

[pacing the room]

It is coming down to the wire, and people are still voting and changing their votes!
Will try and post asap after the end, have a draft spreadsheet ready to do the sort...

If you think you're too small to make a difference try sleeping in a closed room with a mosquito, or give kiva.org a try.

Does it look like 2 men made it through to the top 14?  Anyone else see a different total there and think we need to add one or two more?  Im happy with most of the choices...of the top 14 I think 9 or 10 of my favs made it through.  There was one or two I dont like at all...I just cant picture them in a calendar, but thats voting...toleration of others choices...if there is not going to be any debate on pic selection and male/female - business type ratios, then some of us will begin and continue write ups.

We have a couple issues that came up with the results as we expected...Ill let Christopher elaborate and set the stage for how we will proceed with these results but here is the top 15.  There was a tie for 14th place so there are 15 total...I think Christopher said he breaks ties, but here they are by country:

Ecuador
Samoa
Ecuador:  male
Nicaragua
Nigeria
Afghanistan
Cambodia 3.7% tie
Togo:  male
Dominican Republic
Pakistan
Cote d'ivoire
Cambodia  3.7% tie
Vietnam
Vietnam
Bolivia

There is also duplicates of Vietnam and Ecuador.  Now for the biggest problem possibly--the Ecuadorian tie.  One of only two men to make it through is from Ecuador, his family is the 5th pic...yet to include him and deny Alexandra Castro, the second pic on the list, would be problematic because Alexandra had the second highest voting of all 28 pics, while Armando at 4.2% was tied with another at 10th of the 15 that made it.  Its obviously imperative that we do not duplicate countries, I think that is one of the core reasons why set the voting process up like we did...but the question then is if we are willing to throw out the #2 overall pic of all 80 some originally, to include the second male.  Just wanted to point all this out...I havent checked on the variety of business activies yet, but hopefully it doesnt require too much tweaking,
