It only gets harder the older they get. For the first year, being able to put them down somewhere, and know exactly where they are is a blessing. Once they are mobile, things go downhill...:)
Don't be afraid to drop cash on a nice infant seat.
And do NOT consider the leather seat seen a babies r us. I saw a woman buying one of these a few weeks ago, and just laughed my ass off. $400 for a black leather baby car seat. Hot/cold, and it WILL get crap spilled on it.
Start standardizing your documents and you will be very suprised how much more you can acheive.
The problem is 'standardizing' with 100's of external clients who DO use Windows.
That OO.org or StarOffice works 'mostly' does not cut it.
You cannoy force MS to comply but you can change how you run your business to acheive a greater effeciancy.
And efficiency might mean not having to process a document twice. Once internally, using an MS-free tool, and again for external use, using microsoft. Do it once and be done with it.
So the current distro model of CD's goes away, and everyone gets their fix via "free" megacompilations.
I buy a car, and get several thousand hours worth on a HD mp3 player.
Next month, my fave band puts out some new music. What?? I have to go buy a new car to get it on the new megacompilation?
Or just go get a new cellphone contract?
The car dealer/builder who bundles a DVD chock full o' crap still has to pay something to the record company so that they can then distribute the scraps to the artist. They dealer prob gets a much reduced price, but not 'free'.
The dealer damn sure isn't going to eat that cost. It WILL be passed back to the consumer.
The $15,000 car now costs $16,5000. You just won't see it on the sticker.
No one I know owns a DVD player that can play VCDs
Most Apex's do, even the $60 bottom of the Walmart line. And I have a low end Panasonic surround sound 5 disc setup that does as well. Most VCD's anyway. I've had a few that won't play.
What sales company doesn't like the idea of permanent commercials on a DVD?
Most or all of them. A commercial from 6 months ago is quite probably not relevant anymore. Different campaign, colors, price, maybe even product name.
And if a product goes horribly wrong (e.g. Firestone tires), then they DEFINATELY do not want that ad out there being seen again and again. They'd rather we forget all about that little faux pas.
And it does not look like the soldier is making a threat, but is actually less of a threat because he is not pointing his weapon at them like it appears he might be doing in the second original image.
Or (this being the LA Times) "STAY BACK! SIT YOUR ASS DOWN!"
Notice how the sky appears altered as well. Slightly darker in the top right, and a slightly more pronounced 'halo' just above the civilians.
In their eyes, you fail as a customer. The want you to watch the ads. They need you to watch the ads. All of them. They do not care that you personally, by using your TiVo, have a better TV viewing experience. The TV show is simply a vehicle to bring ads to your eyes.
What they really want is "The Ad channel." All ads, all the time.
All of those commercials you're not interested in now? You (or your future wife/kids) will be. They are building name recognition. When you are 55 it is too late for them to start telling you about "supplemental insurance". They want you to know their name now, and forever.
Remember, you are not the customer. You are the product. The companies that buy ad time are the customers.
That said, that does not change the fact that Venik, of www.aeronautics.ru, IS a loon of the first order. He may be translating verbatim, or, he may be 'translating', and putting his special spin on the exact wording.
The webmaster of aeronautics.ru, Venik, is a well known loon.
Ask about him in rec.aviation.mil
Some of his past spewings have been "2 B-2's and 3 B-52's shot down in Bosnia." Russian plasma stealth technology
Russian antigrav technology deployed on current aircraft.
Take everything he says with several large grains of salt.
insufficient life support to wait in space for a repair mission to be sent.
Given that this was a 10 day flight, knowing the Shuttle is severly damaged 2 days into it gives a LOT of options.
Then, stretching out the rations (food, air, water), would give a lot more time.
With ~2 weeks notice, NASA could have accomplished a LOT more than with 30 seconds notice.
Could they have gotten a resupply from Promise? Maybe, maybe not. Could they have (given 2 weeks time) sent up another Shuttle? Maybe, maybe not.
But I know you can't do anything with 30 seconds notice.
STS-112
"Making his first hands-on landing, first-time shuttle commander Jeffrey Ashby took over manual control of the shuttle five minutes before touchdown as the spaceplane passed through 50,000 feet above the Florida spaceport. "
STS-93
"Update for 11:17 p.m. EDT
Commander Eileen Collins is taking manual control of Columbia. Three minutes to touchdown. The shuttle has gone sub-sonic. Twin sonic booms now being heard in the local area around Kennedy Space Center."
STS-113
"Following a computer-controlled plunge to a point about 50,000 feet above the Kennedy Space Center, commander James Wetherbee, making a record fifth descent as a shuttle skipper, took over manual control and guided the spaceplane to a breezy landing, reports CBS News Space Consultant William Harwood."
If I remember correctly, the first Shuttle pilot (dunno his name, some ex-Navy pilot)
Pilot, Robert Crippen, USN Mission commander, John Young, USN
I get most of my understanding of the Shuttle landing procedure from the X-Plane sim, which makes it very clear that it's extremely difficult for a human being to land the Shuttle...
I would suspect that they have a leetle bit more training than you do.
That's already started. Some people are starting to look at other things as well.
An American politician pushing an American solution is very valid. Much as a Japanese politician would push for a Japanese solution. Or a Frenchman pushing for a French solution.
Those that do not push for a local solution, even if they lose, do not get reelected.
www.arabnews.com had an article comparing al-Jazeera and CNN.
CNN portrayed as lying, deceitful, mouthpiece of the US administration.
al-Jazeera portrayed as a font of wisdom and truth.
Both statements are crap
CNN may well sanitise its stories, and portray the US side (hey..it's a US company)
But al-Jazeera is at least equally as bad.
In reference to the current fighting... Does AJ show pics and video of Iraqi troops hiding among civilians and using them as shields? No
Does AJ show report on the Iraqi troops using a hospital for a weapons cache? No
Does AJ report on the use of explosives at the oil well heads? No.
Does AJ report on the ecological disaster of lighting oil filled trenches on fire? No
If you want to say CNN is not reporting 'fairly', OK..that may well be true.
But please do NOT hold up AJ as the bastion of truth and objectivity.

Buy legos. Looottttsss of legos. =)
Just remember to always turn the light on when you get up in the night. Lego's really, really hurt when you step on them with bare feet.

...large groups of American minorities to protect ...
Curiously, American minorities are somewhat underrepresented in actual combat MOS's.
But ignoring the facts makes it sound better, doesn't it?
This may be closer to real than you think.
Among other silly concepts at this site, we have the internet microwave oven
or
Another internet-controlled microwave and health monitoring toilet.
or
The "other" Echelon, who are into "Internet Control of Restaurant Management"
Yes he was.
Have you learned any new ones yet?
By skipping commercials,...
In their eyes, you fail as a customer. The want you to watch the ads. They need you to watch the ads. All of them. They do not care that you personally, by using your TiVo, have a better TV viewing experience. The TV show is simply a vehicle to bring ads to your eyes.

Quite.

Root around enough his site long enough and you'll find references to B-2's and multiple B-52's shot down in Bosnia.

Furthermore, it must be preinstalled in all new bought computers
Kinda limiting their hardware choices, aren't they?
Civilians...smiling, dancing, shaking hands, tearing down posters of Saddam.
It would seem they want him gone too.
