In an NPR interview today Hatch clarified that he doesn't expect a vote on anyone until the result of the Presidential election is known. That way they can still let Obama make the appointment if Trump or Clinton wins. Otherwise Cruz gets to pick...
For instance, Star Trek answers an important philosophical question: "What if we gave a starship command to a man with a bigger sex drive than an entire class of high school seniors?"
Yeah "ST:Voyager" really cleared up that question.
No Voyeur was about giving a woman command of a starship full of people with bigger sex drives than her.
In college (university) I used to be able to go point for point down the slides/notes used for my Army ROTC classes and match them up with the ones used for my Business Administration ones.
I just thought of all of the 'no-tag' clothing stores where you can buy "brand name" clothing out of which the tags have been cut. (I assume they get these thought the secondary market or salvage, and have to remove the tags for the very same reason.)
Actually this sounds a lot like the 'Outlook/Exchange' issues that occured the last time the US changed DST. The key thing to notice is that this pertains to reoccuring scheduled appointments....from the Outlook debacle... I can tell you. It makes a difference when you scheduled the appointment. Was it DST when you set it up. Is the appointment in DST, is it in the period that was changed (in the US this was 1 week in Spring, and 3 weeks in fall).
Add in the variations of device location (and the various rules about when to apply DST) and you have a nightmare for anyone responsible for scheduled appointments (in a corporation).
Off hand I would guess it is because of the long-lasting radiation effects nuclear weapons. This in effect makes them the ultimate "defensive" weapons. Should an enemy invasion of your country be successful there is the option of Nuclear Suicide. In effect denying the "victor" access to your land/people/technology/secrets/resources...etc.
It seems there are some folks who would consider an invasion of Iran a desirable event in the future. Therefore it is in the current regimes best interests to develop defensive nuclear capabilities. Unfortunately some of the "Hawks" have been attempting to spin this as a reason to go to war.
The scary thing is that its working. Anti-Iran rhetoric is quite common to hear in every day American life.
I kinda liked the "less control" approch of Majesty.
Your units actually think for themselves, and respond differently to your "reward" incentives. To me this makes for a more "realistic" experince than the "hive mind" approach of the standard RTS (Where the player controls exactly what every unit does.)
Maybe they should have thought of that before they made the system so ridiculously complicated that an average educated person still has no chance of successfully navigating the legal system without the assistance of a specialist (harbor pilot, priests...)
(if I had killed someone every time I said I'd like to...)
There's a great short story about this that I read many years back...I don't recall the name but basically
11 of the 12 Jurors immediately want to vote guilty...
The 12th is actually interested in the case/process etc. and begins to convince some of the others of his "reasonable doubts".
In the climax the 12th juror provokes one of the others into saying "I'm going to kill you!"...echoing a statement made by the defendant. This was a key part of the case against the defendant so demonstrating that that statement doesn't always precede the act of homicide is enough to cause many of the other juror's to have "reasonable doubt".
I think the story also deals with jury sequestration, and allergic reactions (peanut butter? or maybe a bee?)
You'll notice similar trends in other "Americanized" martial arts diciplins.
Typically "Americanized" systems will have
10 Belts...Black... 5 Ranks of Black
Whereas more traditional systems will have.
5 Belts...Black... 10 Ranks of Black
This makes comparing belt colors kind of usless between systems (individual teachers are very different in some systems making them even harder to compare)
Many Dojo's treat Martial Arts as a business, and they realize that
-People like things where they are more frequently rewarded
-Kids are your big profit center
Actually 'Nobody Cares' is could be considered insightful. It doesn't really matter what source HS or Undergraduate students use for their papers because 'Nobody Cares' it is unlikely they are ever going to be published or read by anyone. It is not particularly useful to have someone studying a topic at this level write a report because they really don't have anything meaningful to say on the topic.
This is one of the things about our current education system that needs to change. We utilize the 'written report' format far to often. I've never had call to write out anything over 2 full pages in my working career. Even then anything that is written more than a paragraph or two stands a fair chance of being glanced at and dismissed.
That sir is genius...Other people have suggested paint/markers, tinfoil etc...
But just imagine walking though the thing with a plain white tshirt and the confusion it could cause...Especially if nothing odd with the shirt could be detected by feel.
As you said the first company to market these will make a killing.

Anyone else remember the Half-Life 1 demo...which had a bunch unique content...including alot of cool scripted scenes.
It had great "Atmosphere" alot like "Opposing Forces".
I'd add military training as well.
In college (university) I used to be able to go point for point down the slides/notes used for my Army ROTC classes and match them up with the ones used for my Business Administration ones.
when do we get too...
"...Show them the power of this fully operational battle station"
and
"Its a trap!"
Interesting...

I think the grandparent meant "protection" in to refer to extortion that was commonly employed by criminal organizations.
And I'd suggest saying...
"Norton Antivirus: You pay for the fear. The security is free."
It makes more sense that way.
I dont see a word about marriage in there.
Perhaps we should just get rid of the whole problematic institution.

Inside your handlebars...
They are hollow you know.
Somehow I doubt it. But you might find it difficult to buy and build on the rights-of-way maintained by the power distribution companies.
+1 for understanding the meaning of a word that is often inappropriately used.

My mother is on facebook.
Over the last few years she her views have been trending more and more towards "christian fundamentalism".
Every-time she posts one of those ... lets get a revolution started...repost if you agree... links I want to flame her.
But its my own mother... what do I do?
(if I had killed someone every time I said I'd like to...)

Anyone remember the Title?
-Jainith
They do. Thats why they pay people to lobby on their behalf.
In addition there is the fun difference between the enlisted ranks and the Officer Corps.
For even more fun the Officer Corps is made up in parts of
Military Academy Grads
ROTC Grads
OCS (Former enlisted or other willing college grads)
I don't know the relative percentages of each, but I can tell you each group has their own demographics.
You'll notice similar trends in other "Americanized" martial arts diciplins.

and adapt their training methods to suit.
Which was specially surprising to me...
I would think that any Alaskan voter would react negatively to a recommendation from a former governor who resigned.
Besides the obvious hubris..."Second to none" could be considered and equivocation in and of itself.
"Second to none" ~= "Subject is superior to all others in this regard"
or alternatively
all others subject (an inequality instead of an equivalency I know...)

Sweet...then I get the chance for a Chev Chelio's style spree. Right?
Im thinking that would be way more fun then the next 65 years of my "normal" life...
