Term appointments can be up to five years and workers get state benefits. Proponents of this change said a state IT worker might earn an average of $55 an hour, including benefits, while the state pays its contractors an average of $128 an hour for workers in similar jobs.
Of course, some of that $128/hour the contractor gets goes toward employee benefits... and the cost to the state will be more than $55/hour including benefits...
...you put the toilet paper roll facing away from the wall or towards it.
For the record, it's away from the wall, you savages.
Assuming "away" means "over", then you must not have pets. A kitten can easily unspool a whole roll like that. Having it facing the wall (or "under") prevents that.
Perhaps that makes me a savage, but at least I'm a neat savage.:-)
Li insisted the government needs to censor Internet content to protect the rights of the country and its people. 'If there is information that harms stability or the government, of course we will have to block it,' he said.
I expect the only result would an increase in the number of people carrying personal salt shakers when they eat out.
Won't help for baked goods as salt is needed for the process. Try eating bread baked w/o salt - it's horrible. In this case, and I presume others, salt cannot be added after the fact.
I'm kind of torn on the whole Firefly fiasco, on one hand the best SciFi TV show of all time died in childbirth, on the other hand we have an absolutely amazing work of art: one seasons worth of episodes that are unsullied by the eventual shark-jumping that would have eventually happened.
I feel the same way about that and Defying Gravity - $35 for complete series (1 season) - sigh.
It's when they interfere with the people who are interested that they become a problem.
Agreed. I took a semantics class (English language) in my fourth year because I thought it would be interesting to study word origins and evolution, but discovered that most of the other (usually younger) "students" were there because they wanted an easy grade and didn't seem to really care about the subject. As a result, I ended up asking my questions one-on-one with the instructor after class to avoid obnoxious looks and attitudes of the other students dare I ask something during class.
They harvest a small amount of your own bone marrow, extract the stem cells from it, and inject them into the spots where they are needed.
With the addition of one more step in that they cultivate the stem cells after extraction to increase their numbers before re-injection. Many other clinics already do extract, spin, inject. The higher numbers of stem cells after cultivation is what they say improves their effectiveness rate.
The article makes an interesting point: her husband "keeping up a soldier's rhythm".
Actually, that was a complaint about his habit of chanting those military "marching songs" while they're having sex. "I don't know, but I've been told... In, Out. In, Out..."
Oxymoron: Noun, a figure of speech by which a locution produces an incongruous, seemingly self-contradictory effect, as in "cruel kindness", "to make haste slowly", or "IE Heaven".
Serendipity: Noun, making desirable discoveries by accident, as in finding the first two examples above illustrate the third.
I am paying them for taking a clear signal from ABC, CBS, NBC, et al and interpreting it into an analog signal that is then sent over miles of expensive coaxial cable and fed into my house.
Sorry, I was unclear or incomplete. I agree with you, but was just stating *their* argument. In addition, I don't think Disney as asking Comcast to charge customers more for re-broadcasting ABC, just that they want a piece of what's being charged (Disney is EVIL). Of course, Comcast would be stupid not to pass along any loss to Disney as an increase to customers *and* blame Disney (Comcast is also EVIL)...
I'm not sure about the exact requirements/options for cable co's to carry local OTA channels, but know that there is sometimes unpleasant contract wrangling between my local cable and the affiliates.
ABC gives away this programming for free over the air, but wants to charge us to pass it along to you.
Not exactly accurate. Cable co's. pay for most Disney channels, except ABC. Cablevision already charges customers for ABC, but Disney doesn't get any of that. They want a piece. From TFA:
Cablevision (CVC, Fortune 500) currently pays Disney more than $200 million a year to carry its cable networks, which include ESPN, the Disney Channel and ABC Family.
A Disney spokesman notes that Cablevision charges customers up to $18 a month to receive just the basic broadcast networks -- ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and PBS -- but that Disney does not share in any of that revenue.
As a bonus, you can also control the Roomba across an internet connection, and see the images from the camera -- a spybot for you to check on your own home while you are out.
Cars with cables can have similar problems. I had a sticky accelerator cable once, but it was relatively easy to fix - remove, lubricate, re-install - or replace cable.
There is *no reason* for drive by wire, except: ...
3) Emission control.
4) Fuel economy.
Notice all the cars experiencing these problems also have automatic transmissions - there's the problem.

It does. Historically used in *actual* letters. Google results are a-plenty, and even mentioned in the first paragraph here LOL:
It's amazing how easily people forget that things existed before the Internet...

All true -- I had happy fingers this morning -- unless, of course, one re-binds the keys... :-)

I have a map of the U.S. - its actual size. The legend says "1 mile = 1 mile".
People ask me where I live and I say, "E4".

Is that you Lisa Nowak?
OK. I'm just guessing, but the structure and pacing of your paragraph lead me to think that you might benefit from less caffeine in your diet. :-)
