Given that Los Angeles is the most densely populated place in the continental United States (25% denser than New York City). ..
Definitely not given. See the 2000 population density rankings for US cities. In your defense, the city of LA (7876 people / sq mi) is more dense than one of New York City's boroughs -- Staten Island (7588 / sq mi). The other four boroughs are far more dense. Manhattan is extremely dense (66,940 / sq mi).
Since the five boroughs are also counties, compare their respective population densities to LA county (2344 / sq mi).
Los Angeles does have the most-dense metropolitan area in the United States. That is because even its far-flung suburbs have relatively high population densities. Unlike the LA metro area (composed of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Ventura counties), many metro areas have very low densities at the edges, no matter how dense the central cities and close-in suburbs may be.
In general, across the country, pre-WWII development is more dense, walkable, mixed-use, and economically diverse. Most of what has been built after that is sprawl. Keep in mind, density alone does not determine sprawl.
1. Drink water. It'll make you feel full, it'll help your body function, and it'll make you feel better. Just don't end up like the Wee for a Wii lady.
2. Don't eat quickly. Let your body tell you when it's satisfied.
4. Try not to eat overly processed foods. Your body is asking for more and more food because it didn't get the nutrients it needed to function.
5. Don't eat lowfat foods. They're loaded with sugar, which is empty calories. Eating fats makes you feel full.
Great advice. It would help a lot of people to follow these tips.
With over 300 sunny days each year, and electric power that costs between two and five cents per kilowatt-hour, many people in Eastern Washington would be all over that offer.
But something tells me you can't beat the inexpensive hydroelectric power they already get.
In much the same way that you got rid of your old junk from college, young Google engineers stealthily bring the old hardware to university towns just after finals and leave the stuff with the discarded furniture.
Frat boys eventually recycle everything into shims for pool tables or anchors for their parents' boats.
They had to stop cleaning the planes to prevent so many illegal immigrants.
There was a time when you could just bring a blue jacket and wait until everyone else got off the plane. Then, put on your jacket and start cleaning the plane. Leave with the rest of the cleaning crew, and start your new life in your adopted home country. (It has worked before.)
Nintendo's US headquarters is less than one mile from Microsoft HQ.
Next thing you know, one of them will lob a bomb over to the other. It will escalate, until it ends with local thermonuclear war. The Overlake area (of Redmond) is going to be one giant crater.
Only one country has ever used nuclear weapons against another.
And the US does have chemical and biological weapons, despite treaties we have signed.
The US media (newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, etc.) have advocated nuclear pre-emptive strikes against Iraq, Iran, Syria, and North Korea in the past few years. There is talk of invading Iran, Syria, and/or North Korea. (We are talking conventional warfare, I think. But who wants to join up now?)
With that type of threat from the world's superpower, I don't blame other countries from wanting NBC weapons and long-range delivery systems as a deterrent.
Harrison Ford sure looks over sixty these days. Maybe they can bring back Sean Connery for this one too, and bring other about-to-die actors as his colleagues. (Is Ed Asner really still alive?)
The river's name is, by definition, whatever people choose to call it. If the vast majority of English-langage maps, textbooks, and people refer to the river as the Yangtze River, then its English name is the Yangtze River. Lots of things are named different things in different languages, and the fact that the Chinese (I gather) refer to the river by a different name is irrelevant.
In this case, Yangtze River really only refers to the last eastern bit of the river from Yangzhou to the delta.
But English speakers can change what they call something. We switched to more proper pronounciations of the names of several places in China: Peking - Beijing, Nanking - Nanjing, Chungking - Chongqing, Canton - Guangzhou.
In other parts of Asia, that has happened too: Burma - Myanmar, Siam - Thailand, Madras - Chennai, Bombay - Mumbai, etc. Some places have been completely renamed: Saigon - Ho Chi Minh City. It is possible to change the name.
I would really love for Uruguay's official name to be the Eastern Republic of Uruguay (not the Oriental Republic) and the river next to should be called the Silver River, not the River Plate.
The Germans refer to their country as "Deutschland" (or, more formally "Bundesrepublik Deutschland") but I don't imagine you harangue people for using the name "Germany" instead. Or do you?
You're right. I don't.
I see your point.
Some English speakers might call it something like "douche-land". In Spanish, we call it Alemania.
Like the any grammar nazi here, a geography nazi would bring up this:
Can we please call the river by its true name: the Long River?
This mistake of taking the name of a small part of the river (Yangtze) and using that name for the whole river has been compounded by nearly every English-language atlas and reference book. But it's still wrong.
At least we use the proper names of the Yellow River and Pearl River in China. And some people even call the Amur River the Black Dragon River (Heilongjiang).
having cruiser-cams is a good thing for everyone, it helps reduce the likelyhood of a cop doing something wrong in a routine stop, but it also does a good job of countering unsupported allegations and partial truths.
It seems that the tapes are always available when the evidence supports the police version, but the tapes are 'lost', 'accidentally erased', or 'already re-used' whenever the cops' story is a little off. Hmmm.
How could you prove that in a single case when you can't mention the pattern over multiple cases? They know you can't, so the cops get away with routinely tampering with evidence.

Why does the invisible hand of the market have to do all the work?
Why not pay our taxes directly to Northrop Grumman this year?
No, it's like calling the San Ramon Valley Unified School District 'a local San Francisco school district', even though it is over 38 miles away.
San Bernadino is hundreds of miles away. Not quite the same thing.
This is fargin' war!
Nintendo's US headquarters is less than one mile from Microsoft HQ.
Next thing you know, one of them will lob a bomb over to the other. It will escalate, until it ends with local thermonuclear war. The Overlake area (of Redmond) is going to be one giant crater.
The Department of Defense is trying to start something, to justify an invasion of Canada in a few years. Canada has oil.

Cows ate grass.
This will be similar to Never Say Never Again, when Sean Connery returned as an old-ass James Bond, making Roger Moore look better than ever.
Is it really going to be called Indiana Jones and the Ravages of Time? They are right about the 'ravages of time'.
Harrison Ford sure looks over sixty these days. Maybe they can bring back Sean Connery for this one too, and bring other about-to-die actors as his colleagues. (Is Ed Asner really still alive?)
Has anyone seen the script?
I don't know if you heard. . .
Soylent green was not really made out of algae.
I'd rather watch Matthew Broderick's dad.

Congress can fix this problem by not funding the National Targeting Center, the TSA, or any other agency that does this kind of shit.
switching to Stephen Colbert mode:
When are the senators and representatives going to grow some balls? (That includes you, Nancy Pelosi.)
Maybe I was just stupid and Naive to know any better, and Republicans were always fascists in disguise.
Funny that you said that.
Fascism is really government serving oligopolies. In that sense, we are moving toward fascism just as Russia is.
Read what Harry Browne had to say about insider trading.
The SEC does not protect anyone from making stupid financial decisions.
A true libertarian does not believe in either.
Let's try true free markets, open immigration, and free trade -- unfettered movement of people and goods.
Didn't they ever watch Joint Security Area?
The article says "the town could use some publicity".
That is where they filmed The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. Why don't they mention that?
