Too bad they already tested that obvious possibility. Didn't work. Next idea.

I read the abstract and it said nothing about aerosolized herbal teas having been tried. It did say that drinking teas of bitter herbs wouldn't work.
Oh, for mod points today. Thank you! Most people have no idea the hidden costs of raising disabled kids. If your autistic child is deaf, you'll need $2,000 hearing aids in addition to that $700 communication aid. And the hundreds of dollars you'll spend repairing or replacing everything in your house multiple times. This is never alluded to on the talk shows or in the nonprofit organization-run parent support groups.
Exactly! These folks who write this stuff appear to have forgotten the 100% likelihood of death for every human being on the planet. And if I were failing to sit more often, I would be 37% less likely to read these crap articles.
but...but they have work-related articles such as "How to Get Laid at Work" -- how can that not be work-appropriate? And the pictures of completely clothed white blonde women with ginormous breasts are very small!
Seriously though, I read this article after visiting The Onion, and I'm not convinced that The Onion is not branching out.
And the oil spill video game as well as the one that rewards you for your wide stance!
Curses! Why do I never have mod points for posts like the parent!
I looked in as many other dictionaries as I could find online (I know, I know) and in my dictionary here at home, but I don't find any that include your addenda to the meaning. I wish I had a subscription to the OED, which goes much more in depth into word meanings. I think that the discussion is based on the quickie definition that most people are familiar with. I just Googled "Authoritarianism" and got a whole passel of definitions that all seemed to include the words "blind submission to authority" and variations on that theme.
Having said all that, I do see your point that leadership necessarily entails authority of some sort, and it would be a wonderful world indeed if more followers would accede thoughtfully to authority in the manner you describe. I have never been in the military, so I can't speak from experience about it. Unfortunately, corporate authority in my personal experience has all been of the other variety, the blind (and often ridiculous, uncalled for, and senseless) submission to leadership of often dubious quality. I don't see anything wrong with good order and discipline applied intelligently.
But I have to admit that when I hear the word "authority" I immediately think of the 60s t-shirt, "Question Authority." I see that you are using the word in the sense implied in usage such as "authoritative," referring to someone who speaks wisely and with great knowledge and experience. Interesting how many of us (including dictionaries) forget about that definition. Thanks for the thoughtful posts.
1 : of, relating to, or favoring blind submission to authority (had authoritarian parents)
2 : of, relating to, or favoring a concentration of power in a leader or an elite not constitutionally responsible to the people (an authoritarian regime)
These don't sound like defenders of my liberties...
and they are highly useful to printmakers -- you can clean your brushes on them and wipe down your work surface with them instead of buying paper towels or rags that you then just have to throw away.
Bullies grow up. They become managers. Yet, they are still bullies. Perhaps the physical abuse is gone, but there is plenty of workplace bullying. Everything from rudness, providing misdirection and denying it, to simply stealing a whiteboard and markers. How do you find the delicate balance between standing up to the bullying and keeping the job. Let's skip the "get another job" answer. There may be other reasons to stay on with the current employer.
effective sneaking and concealing messes (or framing others for them). Ah, I see! - this law is meant to prepare children for life in the corporate world.
You are correct; they make absolutely no sense. Apparently Phoenix finally made it illegal for HOAs to ban roof solar panels too, which was why solar hot water was not used more here. Nothing like putting in solar and having to tear it out again because the HOA thought it would lower property values. And I would think long and hard before I let APS control anything. And they'd have to give a huge credit here where electric bills even in tiny post-war homes are $300+ monthly electric bills in the summer.
There's Through Deaf Eyes, if that's the video you're referring to. The problem with the deaf community is its sheer diversity. You have deaf people who have been deaf from birth and have never heard English. You have deaf folks who lost their hearing in childhood; you have folks with age-related hearing loss. There are deaf people who rely on sign language and deaf people who don't understand it all. My son has been profoundly deaf from birth and even if they were able to completely restore his hearing (not possible - cochlear implants contain fewer than 30 electrodes that stimulate a tiny portion of the 30,000 nerve fibers in the cochlea), there is little to no chance that (he's 20) his brain would be trained at this late date to make sense of the neural inputs (translate it into language). Deafness is not really analogous in this argument.
Isn't this scanner run by a branch of the same agency that arrests people for having cartoons of naked children on their computers?
Seriously, they're going to let adults scan children? As if the jails aren't full enough. I'm just shakin' my head here
Well, the beauty of it is that you can just pay the $15 a month. You can also pay nothing and the game is still a lot of fun. I think they do a great job of providing enough free content as well as free ways to earn point that you can then buy premium items for.
Plus they've done a terrific job of creating a game that is lots of fun. I was in the beta 3 or 4 years ago and I am astonished at how much attention the devs paid to the feedback they got.
3. 70% of Earth is ocean, while only 30% is land. Ergo, Pirates controller more of the Earth than Ninjas, and thus Pirates > Ninjas.
Ah, but the number of humans living on land is far greater than the number living on the sea, so Ninjas control more people than pirates. Plus the Ninja party campaign ads are so subtle that you are left blinking at the TV and wondering where all the "Vote Ninja!" candy in your pockets came from.
I'm not an emailaholic. I can quit any time I want. Also I email to make myself more interesting, and have recently noticed that the more I email, the better looking members of the opposite sex get.
Thank you for that post; if only I had mod points. What started as censorship, suppression of dissent, and intimidation and elimination of dissenters, ended in the annihilation of 6,000,000 Jews and assumed Jews and other "undesirables" (homosexuals, the disabled, Gypsies and other miscellaneous people the Nazis considered to be objectionable), not to mention an attempt to dominate the world and universalize this doctrine and these practices. The argument that you can't compare censors to Nazis is silly and often self-serving.
Anyone remember this Onion headline after 9/11? "Rumsfeld to Terrorists: Please form nation we can bomb"
Well, I guess in the alleged effort to eliminate child pornography, Wikileaks must be the only bombable nation the nitwits can identify.

EU is already working on banning herbalism and herbal remedies altogether. http://curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=1688090

hehe - I was going to post "Well, I guess the Pope would know!" but you got there first and included the Library at Alexandria to boot. Well done!
Silly mods; Terry Pratchett is NEVER offtopic!

from Miriam-Webster online http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/authoritarian - definitions of "authoritarian" (adjective)
1 : of, relating to, or favoring blind submission to authority (had authoritarian parents)
2 : of, relating to, or favoring a concentration of power in a leader or an elite not constitutionally responsible to the people (an authoritarian regime)

Since then, I've always wondered how many drugs were prescribed solely because of hooters.
I guess this ought to make me glad my doctors happen to be women?
