I was just reading I Think In Pictures by her the other day. She has a unreal ability to predict how the animals will react to things in the processing plant. That doesn't seem hard until you realize that something as small as sunlight glinting off of a swinging chain can cause cattle to startle and become unmanageable.
Oops... I should add that people who espouse the GF/CF diet don't claim that autism is caused by those substances, only that it is much more severe in some children when they are exposed to gluten and dairy.
Autistic children who are helped by this diet often crave milk and wheat, sometimes refusing to eat almost anything else.
Only because it is a new treatment. A lot of autistic children have been helped significantly by removing dairy and gluten from their diets.
There is a broad range of interaction between our bodies and food. You can have a problem with a food without it causing the classic "alergic" response. You see this in people with IBS all the time, some foods just send them over the edge, and not because of any specific digestion pattern. It seems like there can be "food sensitivities" that affect us.
No, the parent poster is correct when he calls it illegal. The FCC regulations that Bluetooth operate under do not specify transmitter power, they specify effective radiated power (ERP). That means that modifying / changing the antenna to get a more focused beam (thus increasing the effective radiated power) is just as illegal as increasing the transmitter power.
Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary (based on social studies of social mobility in American society), people do believe that they can be born on the streets and lift themselves up to the top through hard work.
The only part of that statement that is "myth" is that it leaves out calculated risk. I personally know far too many people that have indeed started out with next to nothing and in 20 to 30 years ended up as prosperous business owners for it to be a myth. The part people get tripped up on is that hard work alone will get you next to nowhere. You must take calculated risks and assume overwhelming responsibility at times if you are to succeed. Money just about grows on trees if you have those two character traits.
My brother, who never went to college and had only the funds amassed from working very low-wage jobs, started his own cleaning business and was doing quite well for himself. He eventually exited the business because he decided that spending time with his family was a higher priority (a decision I agree with).
The apparent inability for those on the lower levels of the socio-economic strata to progress is probably related to the cultural values that are necessary for success not being emphisized. Asian immigrants, especially after WWII when discrimination against them was rampant, as a people group managed to do suprisingly well.
For centuries coffee has been served right after brewing. It is perfectly reasonable to expect coffee to be very near the temperature it was brewed at.
This is absolutely true. My family usually had one to three cats running around, as well as a few dogs and other assorted pets. With seven children in the house none of the pets got any 'babying', they were luck if they got fed.
Our cats were incredibly sociable. They would eat anything you gave them, they always wanted to be held, they put up with the little kids pulling their tails or their ears without retaliating, they did their thing outside not inside, etc. It was a bit of a surprise to me that other people had a different experience with cats. We went through a lot of cats, so it wasn't like we just got lucky and got a few with good personalities
The coffee was knowingly being held at abnormally high temperatures for stored coffee
You do know that coffee is brewed with boiling water, don't you?
You do know that water will not exceed 212 degrees at sea level, dont' you?
Unless that coffee was OVER 212 degrees it was NOT unreasonably hot. McDonalds is right, hot coffee holds its flavor much better then lukewarm coffee. That's why I like Starbucks - their coffee has a darker roast then I prefer, but they serve it much hotter then anywhere else, so it ends up tasting fresher and more flavorful.
The problem with the psudo-latin pluralizing of words is that adding the 'i' only works for some second declension nouns that are in the nominative case. First declension nouns, third declension nouns, second declension neuter nouns, and second declension nouns not in the nominative case do not use 'i' to denote the plural. Most latin nouns are not made plural by adding 'i'.
You can see a chart of latin declensions here
I have some student loans left that amount to a few $K, however, I make a decent salary. Relative to my salary, my indebtedness is quite low. That's why I get offers for 0% rate credit cards all the time (I don't use credit cards and have no other debt). There are plenty of people in the world for whom a debt of a few hundred dollars would be overwhelming because of its relative size to its income.
The USA does have the biggest debt of any nation, however, relative to its GDP it isn't bad. Sweden for example, has a much, much greater debt to GDP ratio.
Not that I'm making excuses for the US debt, but it is misleading to claim the World Bank or IMF are being unfair to Argentina.
Looks like the 503 Errors with Firefox are really slowing down discussions.
The article mentioned that the new number range search feature in Google could be particularly dangerous. Maybe I'm a little naive... why is it so dangerous?
I was specifically refering to votes made by electronic voting machines, however I would apply the same to paper ballots. A closely contested match in nearly any arena (sports, politics, etc) will come down to a question of who most closely followed the rules. We need to have very clearly defined rules for determining valid votes. The 'voter intent' doctrine cannot provide a clear undesputable guideline (just look at the disagreement among election officials in the Florida recount). Well designed ballots approved by multiple parties and some basic voter education at the polls would go much further and cost far less then the solutions that are being investigated right now.
For Democrats who feel that the 'voter intent' doctrine is sound, ask yourself this question: Would I be comfortable if my candidate had officially won a close election and a recount was being held, in a county he won by a narrow margin, with predominately Republican election officials using 'voter intent' as their guide?
The doctrine of 'voter intent' threatens to make even the most stringently honest election officials suspect. 'Voter intent' can too easily become 'election official intent'.
According to the article, recounts are only allowed under state law to determine "voter intent". I am completely against the 'no paper trail' voting machine monster that is pushed so heavily, but I agree with the judge when he says that determining "voter intent" is impossible. As a voter, I would be very upset if the election officials started looking through my votes and decided that I voted Republican for 4 offices and Democrate for 1, therefore my true intent was to vote Republican for all 5 offices, or more likely, my true intent was to vote Democrate for all 5 and my first 4 were mistakes:)
