right... autism varies. I had a friend in high school who was a savant, and he had a great knowledge of geography - he was able to recall every country, every capital and most cities of the world. But he had a hard time with just about everything else.
color code the mouse buttons - make one side green or something. that way you don't have to tell them "right" or "left" but green button or blue button. kinda lame, but it works...
the absolute worst were the profs who insisted upon posting grades up on their door, identifying the scores not by name, but by Social Security number. To make matters worse, it was the CS profs who did this the most.
Then again, Canada did just buy a submarine from England a few months back to play a role in policing the northern waters (primarily against US interests, I imagine). Granted, the sumbarine broke down en-route from England and things didn't go so well for the Canadians, but it's nice to see them give it a try.
Really? The only advantage (imho) in Russia was that the food was cheaper. A loaf of bread, 2 fish and a bottle of beer for 30-45 roubles. Outside of the larger cities it was hard to get anything else. In the UK I've had much better food, but I've had to pay a large price for it.
it won't work. CA taxes all income from CA sources, regardless of where you live (I think virtually all states are like this). I work for a large company and have to work around the US, and at the end of the year I'm taxes in several different states, although I have residency in CA. I take a deduction on CA (Schedule CA) taxes for all income not earned in CA, as I'm being taxed on that income from another state. The only thing registering your cars and getting Driver's license's in Nevada will do is help determine your residency test. Although car registration and license are not the only factors in determining residency, they are key. By becoming a CA non-resident you will not qualify for any CA tax credits or deductions. As Nevada does not have a state tax, taking a residency there will not qualify you for any Nevada state tax credits. The result is, what you are proposing to do will only (fiscally) hurt you or at will not improve your situation.
I have been wondering how the millions of other couples in america for whom this procedure might be the last chance are dealing with the cost. Going abroad maybe?
getting the surgery and then declaring bankruptcy, probably.
If it's life threatinging, you gotta do what you gotta do.
and the reason of course why walmart has such razor thin profits on paper is that they use their real profits to lower the costs of the items for sale in the store. It's the snowball effect. The more walmart sells, the more they use their profits to lower the costs of what they are selling - the lower they make their prices the more people shop at walmart and the more walmart sells, etc... It's the snowball effect. So on paper, yes, razor thin margins, but their is a good business reason for these thin margins. Say what you want about the monolithic nature of Walmart and their heavy handed tactics with supplies but you cannot knock it on gouging or otherwise extraordinary profits. So yes, I can not only talk about the out of control monolithic nature of Walmart, I can also knock them for gouging and for extrordinary profits.
And, what happens when Walmart puts everyone out of business and has no more room to expand? Then watch the prices go WAY FREAKING UP. This is probably their long term global dominance strategy, although right now they just seem to be content putting everyone else out of business.
Thus the credit card companies who repay the merchant but don't persecute the fraudsters even with a lot of evidence are PART OF THE PROBLEM
Yes, the credit card companies have it nailed down to the last dollar - Will it cost more to a) Prosecute the fraudsters b) Repay the merchant They choose B in most cases. There's a high cost of litigation in this country.
Same with car insurance. I was sued in an obviously bogus manner once, AAA even admitted when I called them that the lawsuit was a total fraud. Yet, they paid the $15,000 (and raised my insurance a couple hundred a year) because it would have cost them too much to take the case to court.
This is a smart business decision for credit card and insurance companies in the short term, but not in the long run.
If the *credit card companies* were the ones who had to suffer the costs of fraud
Then they would never reverse the charges onto the consumer's card. They would just say, "Oh, tough luck... " (or at least you would have to hassle them to death, and after they opened an investigation they might give you the money back after a couple of months)
what jurisdiction does Congress have in the world?
Would that they had none. But lately, some branch or other of the US government has been doing an awful lot of regulation in other countries.
Honestly, this regulation by Congress is not a problem. China (or someone else) will take care of cheap space flight for everyone. By the time they start launching the first commercial crafts, the US will get competitive again (they just won't be first, is all).
well, it all comes down to Rupert Murdoch in the end. He's the crap artist that controls over 170 media outlets ALL IN FAVOR of the war.
I think you meant the Goering quote:... Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America...
"There is one difference," I pointed out. "In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars."
"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." http://www.snopes.com/quotes/goering.ht m
