I was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer a little under 3 months ago, I had surgery within 2 weeks of the diagnosis.It was diagnosed stupidly early because my GP decided to run a full blood panel when I had to go in to be tested for something entirely different (liver function due to a medication I was on, with previous history of liver issues triggered by prescription pharmaceuticals).
I've been told that due to the size of the tumour (about 8.5mm, too small to feel through the skin) and the fact that it presented as a single tumour only which had not metastasised even within the thyroid that survival rates is talked about in terms of 20 years - after which too many other factors can affect your survival that it can no longer be attributed to a 20+ year old cancer. It wasn't even recommended that I do radiation therapy.
In some respects I felt a bit of a fraud as I barely got sick (I was experiencing significant fatigue and feeling the cold a lot), but got all the 'Oh Noes, it's CANCER!!!111!!!' sympathy. The surgeon told me "If you have to get cancer, this is the one you want to get."
I occasionally buy tickets and treat it as an entertainment expense; I don't expect to win, but it's amusing to dream about what I would do with the money if I did for a few days.
The trick is the fantasizing only works as entertainment if you actually have a chance to win, however small.
While I wouldn't go so far as to call it an open relationship, my husband and I have agreed since we started dating (nearly 20 years ago now) that if either of us were interested in a physical relationship with someone else it was fine provided we told each other about it, preferably in advance. The other partner had the right to veto if they had concerns about the specific 3rd person, but conceptually it was fine. The logic being it's usually the deception in cheating which causes the biggest problem, not the actual sex part.
Given most books are likely to be printed on continuous feed machines rather than cut sheet - the cost per page is likely to be even lower, as each impression is likely to be more than one page - which is then folded into folios and guillotined.
As a smart consumer I want to pay a reasonable price that is sustainable for the vendor. If they can't make enough of a profit they will go out of business and then there is no product, regardless of how much or how little I'm willing to pay.
We all know Hogger would win that exchange, Jaina would be captivated by his aura of dominance an be powerless before him.
What? For such a powerful mage, she constantly wimps out. So much for having a strong female character in the franchise. The strongest one is Sylvanas Windrunner who is evil and psychotic and raised form the dead.
I nominate Scenes from a mall as the most boring movie ever. If I want to see a married couple arguing over nothing I just have to go home and look in the mirror.
I'm a little skeptical of a 'Professional' photo printer at that price for image, especially once you take into account the capital cost of the printer, unless you are doing significant volume of images.
Inkjet printers rarely result in good long life images as the inks fade from exposure to UV (usually the reds first - which is why old billboards sometimes start to get a cyan tint to them).
Images you get printed at a photography outlet generally use a better grade of paper and inks for a longer life image.[1]
It's unlikely that nose jobs are going to be done by the same surgeons as those who perform heart transplants. It's even possible they wont use the same operating theatre or even hospital location.
In Australia we have this ongoing national infrastructure project called the NBN (National Broadband Network) [1] which is looking to do exactly that - rip out all the copper and replace it with fibre for 95% of users and some kind of wireless for the remaining 5%. The ex-government national carrier Telstra couldn't be rid of it faster if you paid them (which we did).
It's old and under-maintained. To continue maintaining it over any length of time is going to be prohibitively expensive.
The current Government's plan is FttP, the current opposition's response is that we should be looking at FttN and copper for the last mile, which is sending shivers down the spine of all the people who actually understand the landscape of Australian telecommunications infrastructure. Unfortunately the opposition look extremely likely to win government at the federal election due later this year. Sadly our address isn't scheduled to get NBN this calendar year.
As someone who read the original Ian Flemming 'Bond' novels, I have always found Timothy Dalton to be the truest to the book version of Bond. He really was generally a nasty, brutish piece of work with little in the way of compassion or conscience, but charismatic. That's pretty much how Dalton played him.
Daniel Craig is great, but he's pretty much had the whole 'someone kicked his puppy' thing going for the entire time he's played the role.
I wish I had mod points. Now we need to get this in front of Neil Gaiman and get him to write a script where the Doctor talks about Time Lord cats and/or the Caveman vs. Astronaut argument (or both).
Would Caveman vs. Astronaut be Leela vs. Adric? We know how that worked out.

For a second there I thought you wrote 'millicivets' and thought 'how cute'. :)

Unless you play a druid tank - then all you will see is a big bear's butt. :(
STILL holding out for a model refresh for my moonkin, almost 9 years in and it still looks like a level 5 mob from Darkshore.
You've obviously never heard of the Blizzard definition of Soon TM.

At least I have chicken.
It would be easier on an island country than a landlocked one.
But TFA glossed over a very important part of the story, after the offending fridge was deactivated... How did the owner keep his beer cold?
Obviously,he drank them all. Problem solved (for now).
Vegemite is awesome, lightly spread of hot toasted light rye so that it's salty and chewy at the same time.
The mistake most foreigners make is slathering it on like peanut butter. It's a strong taste and you don't need much.

An assembly line can on average complete more than 1 car per calendar day, but a given specific vehicle from start to finish, not so much.
FttN = Fibre to the Node.
FttP = Fibre to the Premises.

Therefore, James Bond is the Master.
Sean Bean, plus we know that ultimately we would get to see him die again - and he's had so much practice.

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.

Let's see..... all that we got left is sports scores and taxidermy blogs.
You mean like this?
