Living in Alaska I can say that most of the people living here would love to have at least one of the bridges.
The first bridge to nowhere would connect downtown Anchorage ( biggest city) with the Valley. The net effect is this would shorten the commute for 10's of thousands of people who live in the Valley and work in Anchorage.
This would also open up development as currently there is little available land in the Anchorage bowl. All in all a very big plus for the mat-su Anchorage bowl and well over half of the residents of the State of Alaska.
The second bridge would connect Gravina Island with the main land in Ketchikan. The reason not few people live on the Island is due to the fact that the airport takes up most of the free space.
Currently the only way across is by the ferry.
It gets old hearing people repeat the bridge to nowhere myths born of political agendas and ignorance. .
Germany's war was fought and lost on the Eastern Front.
85% of all German casualties were on the Eastern Front.
The German Army was mostly horse drawn and the tanks they used were old and outdated. The Russians had the T-34 and KV-1 Tanks at the start of the war and the Germans had nothing even closely as good.
What the Germans did have was radios in the tanks and good leadership and combined arms and better tactics. Germany is well known for it's offence but what it truly was amazing at was it's defense. After the first 6 months the German Army had lost over 50% of it's troops and even higher numbers of it's equipment. The offensive was dead and other than the 3 battles for Kharkov in Army group Center most of the fighting was defensive. German production did not peak until late 1944 and to think that allied bombings slowed it down is simply not true. Germany was not even close to be ready for war and the lack of war materials shows. Germany was building 40 tiger tanks a month when the russians were building thousands in 1943. Germany victory in France was it's ultimate downfall as this embolded the German Army and Hitler into thinking they were capable of doing anything.
Living in Alaska the cable was shut off in the Summer since around 1998.
Than I bought a big screen LCD TV About 2006 and wondered why I could not see the free over the air HD channels. My cable company informed me I needed a special converter box ($15.00 more a month) and the HD channel package
($10.00 more). 10 channels and 6 of them were the free over the air channels and the remaining 4 were worthless to me. So I told the cable company to shove it and bought a samsung HDTV receiver and can get 5 HDTV channels free
over the air.
They look great and with NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS and FOX plus a few more at 480P I am more than happy.
I have a few shows I cant get that a friend records for me on his Tivo and uploads for me. Than I just watch those on the big screen via the computer/ 360. Since then I have had a few friends do the same and often people are always
interested how I do it. Not everyone will do this but more and more people are finding this just fine for there needs.
Distracted pilots are indeed a problem and often it leads to a fatal mistake.
Flying into a mountain or taking off from the taxiway rather than the runway. Cockpit recording play backs from these fatal crashes always have the crew focused on everything but flying. Often they don't notice right up until the end.
A pilots job is to continually scan all instruments and be alert to anything that could be a problem during flight. There are plenty of close calls than never see the light of day thank God.
the crack will let you get into the game, but will prevent you from progressing past the tutorial mission. It is funny seeing some people bitch that they cannot start a campaign as suggestions to fix this are to buy the game.
Silent Hunter 3 had starforce and there is a stickied thread over on the UBI forums on how to install the game using a crack.
Silent Hunter 4 had securerom on it and on the final patch removed copy protection from the game.
I see no reason to doubt that when the time is right copy protection will be removed from Silent Hunter 5 as well.
With the new graphics and much better modding tools that allow scripting SH5 a year from now will be the best Subsim to date.
"A federal judge rules that a student can seek attorney's fees against a high school principal who suspended her for a Facebook page she made at home. Good news, but how could the school have thought they had the right to punish her for that in the first place? Posing the question not rhetorically but seriously. What is the source of society's attitudes toward the free-speech rights of 17-year-olds?"
This is not a case of free speech as people often misunderstand what exactly free speech means. You can yell "fire" in a movie theater or insult your boss or company on facebook and than act surprised when you get fired or go to jail. You are free to do those things, however your actions have consequences and getting suspended was the reaction to the students action.
Cramming as many people into an airplane as they can and everyone blames people larger than a supermodel for cramped seating? I remember the good old days when I had leg room in coach and my shoulders were not wider than the seat.
How can you consider Iran as a reasonable country when it's leader repeatedly denies the Holocaust did not happen? Iran should nevr, ever be allowed to have nukes.
--Jesus freaking Christ, can't companies do employee evaluations at all?--
I appears that they can't. I haven't seen one in a long time that even had a clue as to who did what. It's just whether you are liked or not and not what results you produce.
Whether you are liked or not is a big part of the puzzle in keeping a job. Sad but true..
Just about anyone in Washington can own an automatic weapon, pay the tax for the class 3 license, pass the background check and good to go. Plus that weapon you talk about, it's a prop that looks like a star wars toy. Also, you imply that the person carrying the toy prop was scruffy looking. You are trying to make this seem like a serious, scary event when in fact it is funny and absurd. What scares me the most anymore is the militarizing of our police forces with near unlimited power to do as they seem fit. I can take care of myself thank you very much, self reliance seems to be so quaint these days. Let's hope that changes and our march toward nanny state halts.
I post on several forums that use your real name and location and trust me when I say it may prevent some people from being a jerk, there are still plenty of negative, rude people and flame wars. Personally I don't mind and to be honest it does keep me honest, while some people do not think of the consequences of there action (facebook).
I was in Prescot the end of May and sales tax was 10%.
Costco was selling a WD 2.5 inch HD passport 500mb drive for 99.99 after a $20.00 off coupon.
They taxed the sale before the coupon price so I paid $12 in sales tax.
There are lots of people out of work in Arizona and many people are working 2 jobs just to get by as costs vs wages are not in sink for many mid lower income people. Seeing all of the empty malls and boarded up business I dont think that local business is doing so hot either.
Raising taxes is the last thing Arizona needs right now.
Government needs to learn to do more with less, just like everyone else in my opinion.
As an Internet bully I just wanted to say I support this bill. Right now I can only say mean things to you but under this bill I can track you down and give you the wedgie you deserve!
No kidding, I personally dont know any gamers that use Vista other than what might have come on a new laptop and most of those have even removed it of the laptop.
Why yes I did! Seems you need to place a bowel with a whole in the middle and chase around a dog so you can place it over his poo and smell th fumes. They say it works wonders.
I had a domain with them for years and when they took a dive there was nothing anyone could do. I had auto renew setup and was charged not once, not twice but three times and still the domain expired. They changed name servers and anything else they could do. Millions of domains were affected and no one including ICANN could do a thing. As a matter of fact Registerfly blew smoke in eyes of ICANN during the whole ordeal. They lock your domain and do as they please rules be damned,ICANN is toothless and powerless organization.
So by simply discussing this article we are in violation of the MOVEON.ORG trademark. Why has this not been removed? Moveon.org can dish it out but they sure cant take it.
Let's not forget that more people than you would imagine would consider this the same as the mark of the beast due to religious convictions and belief's.
I walked right out past the line and was chased out the front door by a young man who physically tried to stop me. I did show my receipt but I tossed it on the ground and he had to chase it around a bit. I thought it was bad form on my part but I was more upset that he tried to physically stop me, I later asked the store manager if she thought it was safe for employees to run out chasing people and she agreed it was not. I will show my receipt but I still refuse to wait in a line to show it, they can choose to chase me out the front door.

I was born in Alaska and work from home so thanks for proving my statement about agendas and ignorance.
If your ever in Alaska look me up and I will take you hunting :)

Operation Garden plot has been around since the early 60's and came about as a result of the civil rights movement and the riots in LA and Detroit.

US troops have been deployed during the Detroit riots, the LA Riots, Sept. 11th and during Katrina.

So it matters not that the US nabbed the guy with the full cooperation and help of the Italian government?
I could finally stand a chance at winning a radio call in question!
