    Also just because you are exempt does not mean that you have to work 80 weeks for the rest of your life check with the department of labor and see what the threshold is for continuous overtime work is with out extra compensation. If you don't stand up for yourself and be a leader management will continue to get away with poor planning and under-staffing and destroying your life.

    Yes and no. Immediately after work some people are stressed because of whatever reason their work environment sucks. After an hour or so when they have had time to decompress and possibly vent to a significant other then they can relax and be happier.

    The CR article identifies a problem, consumers are easily dismissed but a widely circulated periodical pointing out flaws should at least help as reference when you are reporting the problem. I am not calling CR the holy grail of journalistic and ethical excellence but it is held in high regard among people who are trying to buy items (justified or not).

    There's a difference; cars are ubiquitous - used by everyone. If there was ever a need for a resistance having a database of select gun owners can quash that resistance nearly outright. Question: How easy is it to run a registry query selected to a voter registration party affiliation. A: Trivial.

    Also if your not at home 'they' can grab the ones closest to you until you give yourself up.

    No, I'm not a paranoid conspiracy theorist... yet. However, if erosion of rights that keep getting passed then that's where we are headed. I don't own a firearm and never will but I'm not going to deprive anyone else the right to defend themselves from a criminal or government if need arises.

    http://www.seeingisbelieving.ca/cell/dacca/ It does not address your large screen smart phone entry but a single cell phone can be the next step up in communication and technology for a community. However, If the community sees an advantage of getting a single smart phone with screen with useful applications then the health of the community will increase, meaning less days sick, unable to see, etc.

    You use a massive gill wheel or something similar on a oil vessel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Drawing_of_a_gill_netter.gif . (The equipment does exist.) Then you put some type of collector below the gill net collector with tubing into the tanks. As the collector wheel brings more and more net/cloth in squeezing will take place and it will drop into the tanks. It will be a messy and probably dangerous job but this Gulf is a food source to a lot of people.

    Agreed last years commentators really knew a lot about the mechanics of the game and were able to speak intelligently about the tactics used. Yesterday one guy basically said I just fit the basic modules and go with it (paraphrased). They also had one of the most respected mercenary/pirate corporations represented, 'Veto'.

    Not recommended? Really? If your overweight then don't do activities that start improving your health one will just get more overweight. Granted an overweight person won't be put on first string right away (lineman excluded) but if you practice and get in shape then you can make yourself and your team stronger. Telling overweight people that they shouldn't participate is counterproductive and may result in depressing them leading to more overeating.

    Similar to the discussion about high production beer, mass produced mole sucks. If you're ever in Salt Lake CIty, Utah try out the red iguana it's about 5 mins or less from the Airport. I went there on a business trip for a few weeks, ended up liking the moles (yes, plural) so much I went their half a dozen times during my stay. It was packed every time too. When food network did a special they nearly doubled the price they had when I went for plates. Here is a look at their menu. http://www.rediguana.com/menu.pdf Their main site is flashed based.
