For the first time since World War II, a national survey has sized up the average American body, not just by weight and height or even the standard chest-waist-hip routine, but in more than measurements tip to toe. The results confirm what other statistics have shown: that Americans have grown. In their sheer detail, the measurements also show just how and where -- an intimate portrait of the national body with all its Lycra-ed love handles, sucked-in stomachs and fashionably disguised spare tires. The survey -- called SizeUSA and sponsored by clothing and textile companies, the Army, Navy and several universities -- measured more than 10, people in 13 cities nationwide using a light-pulsing 3-D scanner. Among the findings: older men have trimmer thighs than younger men. Black women are larger than other women, but they are also most likely to have the classic hourglass figure.

Steatopygia is the state of having substantial levels of tissue on the buttocks and thighs. This build is not confined to the gluteal regions, but extends to the outside and front of the thighs , and tapers to the knee producing a curvaceous figure. Steatopygia, a genetic characteristic leading to increased accumulation of adipose tissue in the buttock region, is found in women of African origin, most notably but not solely among the Khoisan of Southern Africa and Pygmies of Central Africa. It has also been observed among the Andamanese people , such as the Onge tribe, in the Andaman Islands. This genetic characteristic is prevalent among women but also occurs to a lesser degree in men. Steatopygia would seem to have been a characteristic of a population which once extended from the Gulf of Aden to the Cape of Good Hope, from which peoples the Khoisan and Pygmies may be remnants. While the Khoisan afford the most noticeable examples of its development, it is by no means rare in other parts of Africa. It has been suggested that this feature was once more widespread.
I married outside the church and have no regrets. I know many other nurses that also married young docs, only to have the marriage fail. The schedule is erratic at best. I haven't read every post like you probably havebut I've read a lot of them.
