Some of you may remember when I said I was going to take a break a month or so ago to focus on my schoolwork, and I did. While I did play probably twice per week and all the time on the weekends, my gaming time definitely did take a decrease. Well, it payed off. I went from 3 C's for the first and second term to straight A's this term, got on the Principal's List (the good one), and scored an iPhone 5 for my hard work. I feel so proud of myself right now, it's unbelievable. But, this post wasn't just to brag, I also want to let you guys know that since it is June, school is winding down obviously, and there's about one working week left, my playing time will be taking an increase in the coming weeks. I still want to be social though, so I will usually only play in the nights (which is a good thing because of my time zone compared to most of you guys). Also on some weekends I won't be able to play because I head up to my dad's trailer and it's a good chance for me to see my girlfriend because her dad owns a trailer in the same park, but it will only be some weekends because her dad works in Alberta 3 weeks on, 1 week off, and that week is spent at the camp park (I can't take her up with my parents because I have a St. Bernard, a Golden Lab, and me all squished together in the back seat every time we go up).

Chris Calger and I will be holding a series of meetings with employees today and tomorrow to communicate what we know about how the merger with Dynegy will impact the West power operations in Portland and San Francisco.
Chris will meet with his team this morning at 9 AM in the Mt.
Hood conference room.
All employees who report in to Chris' organization should attend this meeting.
In addition, Structuring, Renewables, Human Resources, and the 4th Floor Legal team should plan to attend Chris' meeting.
Tim will meet with his team this morning at 10 AM in the Mt.
Hood conference room.
All employees who report in to my organization should attend this meeting.
In addition, Risk, Credit, IT, Government Affairs, and the 3rd Floor Legal team should plan to attend Tim's meeting.
If you are unsure which meeting to attend please ask.
We realize that many people are out today due to the Veteran's Day holiday (no cash trading or scheduling today).
We will have another meeting tomorrow morning for people who were unable to make it to meetings this morning.
We will announce the time and place of that meeting soon.
We recognize that the last couple of weeks have been unsettling for many people.
Our goal over the next couple of days is to get back to business as usual.
There are no mandatory layoffs planned for this office.
Chris and I met with John Lavorato, Louise Kitchen, and Greg Whalley over the weekend.
Their marching orders were clear -- go back to Portland and get back to work!
As we mentioned in the all-employee meeting a few weeks ago, this office has a reasonable cost structure and is very profitable.

Kay please forward to Max Yzaguirre.
Max, congrats on the Decero PPA - we need to wrestle up another 100 to 200 MW.
This should be a priority given the profit potential of this deal as per Oz and Doug (+50M in 2000).
Is there an ability to let Sabine or Irvin run with Vitro and get your attention on this item asap.
I know that the Monterrey project is eating into your time.
Do we need to augment your resources?
On a different note, the current Monterrey control budget is showing a $5.3M negative variance from the original control budget.
Is this accurate?
Does this reduce the profitability or is it absorbed by the PPA's?
Regards

(Try reading the first sentence out loud only pausing when you hit the first punction [the question mark] and you'll see what I mean.)

Sure. Bitcomet/Bittorrent is the program that allows you to download everything (for the most part). Let's say someone has a video called "Cats". They can create a torrent, and post it online so that other people can download Cats. In order for people to be getting this file, the Cats creator has to have Bitcomet/Bittorrent up and running so they can SEED the file to the LEECHERS. Once the file becomes popular, you will have more seeders, so you can download the file faster. Generally when you look for torrents for something, you should try to look for something that has the most seeders
**TL;DR Bitcomet/Bittorrent is a program that allows you (the leecher), to download files (in form of torrents) from seeders (those who already have the file and are sharing it by having the program running)**

I've recently been listening to about a dozen different [BBC Radio 4 podcasts](http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/podcasts/), all of which are excellent. Two might be particularly applicable to your interest in history:
[Great Lives](http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/greatlives) is a discussion-format podcast that covers biographies. The panel generally consists of the host, a public figure who has selected the subject of the biography, and an expert on that subject.
[In Our Time](http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/iot) is more in-depth. The topics range fairly broadly, but many are about historical topics.

Ferry's, I also had several Anglia's. Apparently none of the Australian delivered Anglia's were available with a heater. I have seen one with a heater that was imported from South Africa. Apparently back then, the poms thought it was so hot in Australia, we wouldn't need it!

G'day all. Still struggling electrically with the back end of my car. Am on the hunt for a reverse light switch, for my 60 B. It is the one that screws in the side of my transmission. Have troubleshot, and discovered this bad boy is no good. I am unsure if the switch is the same as used on VW's of the era, or if I have to source overseas. If anyone has a local supplier, would love to hear about it. Thanks, Marc.
Thanks for the link, but this is just the standard "Euro" Light. The Australian/Italian one has the amber, and red parts of the lenses swapped around, with a dual filament socket for the red.
G'day from WA. I need some help or assistance in sourcing a pair of "Australian/Italian", tail lights. These are different to what was used everywhere else, due to the amber indicator being on the outside, and the dual filament globe on the inboard side. I've looked everywhere I can think of so any input on how to modify the existing lights or where I can get what I need, will be appreciated. Marc.

One thing intps do is be themselves. Rude, blunt, nerdy, trashy, ditzy, nuts, happy, sad, silly or just chill. It’s extremely shocking and extremely real. But this honesty towards themselves and their beliefs is what draws others closer.
INTPs tend to accept people for who they are, flaws and all. They want people to grow but they never push it. They want to know why you are they way you are but don’t judge. (Well, they’ll judge you if it doesn’t make logical sense) it’s a strange kind of peace.
You can be yourself around an Intp, no judgement, no drama, no passive aggressive manipulation. But they want the truth and it’s in their nature to make you question your nature and why you hold things dear.
They are the only group of people who find chaos and peace in the the word ‘Why’

Fideism is the idea that faith and reason are entirely distinct and in some sense opposed. The stereotypical evangelical fundamentalist is a fideist, while a Catholic is not. Someone like Kierkegaard could also be considered to be a sort of fideist, although that's arguable. Augustine was not one, however.

PIONEERTOWN – A local advocacy group is working to keep wind turbines out of what it says is a culturally and biologically significant area.
Save Our Desert, a coalition aiming to stop Element Power’s efforts to put industrial-scale wind turbines in the undeveloped Black Lava and Flat Top Mesa buttes of Pipes Canyon and Pioneertown, is raising money to identify petroglyphs in the areas currently being tested for wind levels.
Element Power began placing wind-testing devices on the mountaintops more than a year ago, to the surprise of residents. The devices are precursors to the company’s proposal for a 100-megawatt wind-energy project.
Save Our Desert held its second annual fundraiser Sunday, raking in just over $3,500 to pay for archeological surveys and reports to send to agencies with jurisdiction over the area.
It felt appropriate to organizers that preserving Pioneertown’s iconic desert landscape should be held at one of the most iconic desert locales, Pappy & Harriet’s.
“We felt the event was a success,” Frazier Haney, an organizer and spokesman with Save Our Desert, said by phone Monday.
The coalition raised money through a silent auction of local artists’ works.
The group needs about $5,000 to get the appropriate studies and documentation completed. Haney said members have been raising additional money with a weekly farmers market booth.
Haney said the buttes are well-known cultural sites that need to be recognized by the Bureau of Land Management and the county.
Doing so would limit construction of wind turbines or infrastructure to transmit electricity in that area.
So far, the wind-energy developer has applied for a permit to test the wind and has placed two meteorological towers on the buttes, according to Haney.

I am trying to compile a list of engines with catalytic converters that will be subject to Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) regulations.
All of the following four conditions must be met for CAM to apply: 1.
The emission unit must be located at a facility with a Title V permit.
2.
The emission unit must be subject to an emission limitation or standard, including a permit condition, for an applicable regulated air pollutant.
3.
The emission unit must use an add-on control device to achieve compliance with the emission limit or standard.
4.
The emission unit must have "potential pre-control device emissions" equal to or greater than the amount required for a source to be classified as a major source under Title V (i.e.
100 tpy for criteria pollutants and 10/25 tpy for HAPs).
If an emission unit is subject to CAM then a CAM Plan must be prepared and submitted with a Title V Permit application/renewal.
I will develop a standard plan for submission.
A list of all the engines with catalytic converters is attached based on Power Services database.
Review the list for accuracy.
In addition, update the Title V status of each facility.
The last two columns (major for CO w/o controls and major for NOx w/o controls) are based on AP-42 factors for rich-burn engines and a specific heat rate of 8500 Btu (LHV)/bhp-hr converted to 9350 Btu (HHV)/bhp-hr to determine whether a unit would be major for CO or NOx pre-control.
Review the permits for the units that would be major for NOx and/or CO to determine if an emission limitation or standard applies to the pollutant for which the unit would be major.
Let me know by January 15 which units you believe will require a CAM plan.

(I wrote the epilogue of your book:)
[a few hundred pages]... finally I could rest. I got my real life back in the end.
THE END
*Epilogue*
"How could this happen? If I remember correctly, you just extracted DNA or some shit; how then, could I become the clone you grew from it?" I was getting agitated, lamenting all the years I lost on the front lines, and all the things I did to come back. All because of this horrible mistake they made.
"Tell me! It doesn't make any sense!" I lunge at him, feigning a strike. The doctor cowers in his chair, turning his face and closing his eyes. When he realizes a strike isn't coming, he lets out a whimper and opens his mouth. A sliver of blood runs over his lip and down his chin. His jaw trembles. "I... You've got it all wrong," he begins, voice inches away from breaking. "You *are* the clone, don't you understand? Before we started I did explain to you how it worked!" The tone in his voice had become defiant. I want to hit him again, but decide against it. I lower my fist. "I don't remember. Tell me."
"Basically..." He spits a glob of blood on the wall, and tweak his wrists against the restraints. "Memory is *physically* stored in your brain as patterns in the neural network. If you want a more detailed explanation, go to the fucking Internet. Now, guess what happens when you clone a brain accurately, down to every molecule or atom? Yeah, the memories gets copied as well."
"But, I can clearly remember sitting down for the procedure, then suddenly waking up with the tattoo on my arm, in another body!" I reply, hastily. "You were NOT in ANOTHER... You STUPID cun... Sorry..." He closes his eyes as he anticipates a strike. I don't hit him, my thoughts are racing around other tracks right now.
"Don't you see? All the memories right up until the extraction are..." I interrupt him, finally realizing the significance of this truth. All the things I've done to get back, and I shouldn't even be here. I break down in tears. "Sorry... Sorry," I mutter between my sobs. I feel so very lost. Again.

I find North America's First Nations [Two-Spirit Identity Theory](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-Spirit_Identity_Theory) really interesting.
> The history of two-spirits among Indigenous American culture dates back hundreds if not thousands of years and has been documented in 150 North American tribes. Throughout history a person who was recognized as two-spirit was someone who identified with both male and female gender roles and so two-spirit is essentially a third gender recognized in Indigenous cultures.
While it is not necessarily sexual, though it could be, it is an interesting take on the flexibility of gender in their societies.

Hmmm. .. Did you see that South Park episode where Cartman has his own theme park? I think it answers partially why SE didn't do what you said: there needs to be some content that's heavily gated and that SE can go "haha look at this neat stuff! and YOU can't have it! :D ". That makes people like you and me strive to get better to finally breach the gate to that content, in my case it's T9, in your case it's a loot limit (i. e. FCoB being non-farmable). Now imagine there was no such content. Everybody has access to everything, or at least the gates in front of stuff are rather small (for instance ex primals, or any CT chapter). You and your competent friends would be completely capped, and bored, and possibly stop playing, while the rest of us would be trying stupidly to do content we can't clear yet and get frustrated, and possibly stop playing. Who wins in that scenario? I'm not sure, but it's not Square Enix, because they lose players. On the other hand, your current frustration keeps you playing (and if it doesn't and you're thinking of quitting, that's ok, ultimately SE's goal is to make things pleasant for the majority, not everyone. That would be impossible because people are different).

The most common mistakes that i have observed aspirants do while preparing for GATE
Don’t do research on a particular subject i mean refer only one reference book because we already have lot of syllabus.Make sure we do revision of the topics we have studied from time to time Don’t bring too much gap in the revision cycle.Don’t just read, once again i am emphasizing on this point solve as many problems as you can that too having different variations and varietiesMake sure we make short notes after we finish one particular subject because during last days of GATE these short notes will be extremely helpful to revise important concepts and formulasDon’t be completely dependent on the coaching material and coaching notes.Enroll yourself in Test Series at least 2 months before actual GATE to check your preparation level.Don’t neglect Aptitude and Maths during the preparation, they are very important together they both contribute to 30% weightageThere are certain important topics for GATE we already know, make sure we give enough time to these topics during preparation. For example MOSFET in electronic devices and Analog Electronics for ECE Students.Don’t feel demotivated if you are not able to solve a particular problem just analyze the question and solution thoroughly and work on your weakness during the preparation.
All The Best Everyone :-)

The 9th Circuit of the U.S. Ct. of Appeals granted EES' request to stay an injunction granted by the District Court in the UCS litigation, which would have required EES to continue to directly serve UCS.
The stay allows EES to return the customer UCS to PG&E and SCE for utility service and thereby save the future accrual of an additional $144 million of negative CTC receivables.
In approximately two months, the 9th Circuit will conduct a further review of the stay, at which point the litigation will return to the District Court for discovery and eventually trial.

Dynegy Is Mulling $2 Billion Investment In Enron in Possible Step Toward Merger By ROBIN SIDEL Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL Dynegy Inc. is in advanced discussions to infuse about $2 billion into Enron Corp. in a transaction that may lead to a full-blown merger between the two companies, people familiar with the matter said.
A formal transaction could be unveiled as early as Thursday, these people said.
The situation is very fluid and is subject to change, these people noted.
Enron has been rocked by last month's disclosure of a $1.2 billion reduction in its equity base partly tied to financial dealings with company partnerships headed by Enron's former chief financial officer.
Last month, it reported a third-quarter loss of $618 million.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has launched a formal investigation into the matter.
Last week, Enron secured $1 billion in new credit lines, using gas-pipeline assets as collateral.
Enron needs the infusion in part because its previously announced plans to raise cash through the sale of power assets is going more slowly than expected.
Mostly, though, it needs to restore its credibility with Wall Street at a time when its access to the financing markets is drying up.

I define fiddly as having so much bookkeeping that you have to give it nearly as much thought as playing the game itself. Constantly checking counters or sliding up/down on different tracks, checking multiple cards for effects each turn, etc. By my definition, something like Agricola isn't fiddly at all. You simply refill the board each round, and it tells you exactly what to put where. Takes no thought. Castles of Burgundy is the same. You have to set out new tiles several times, but it's easy. Sentinels of the Multiverse is certainly fiddly by this definition. Everyone is constantly checking various counters and anti counters and the villain cards and environment cards. Fiddle Fiddle Fiddle. Eldritch Horror is pretty fiddly, but really only one person needs to manage most of it. Miniatures games tend to be fiddly, but that's what people like about them. I try to stay away from fiddliness in games because I teach a lot of them to a lot of differently skilled players. Games where you have to keep track of a whole bunch of stuff outside of gameplay tend to throw people off if they're new to games.

So me and this girl have been talking for about 5-6 weeks, we started talking casual online and eventually we we're talking dirty, we met up yesterday and we had sex, we talked about whether we we're dating or not right after and we both agreed we were. Problem is, now she's changed her mind and instead wants to say that we are exclusive and seeing each other, I don't really understand what the change of label is. I have been very clear that I want to date and we have talked about it a couple of times, she says that she really likes me but we haven't taken the next step. She said she doesn't care about people knowing about us, and we have kissed in public at her school so it's not about her being embarrassed to be with me or anything

each asset manager changes his portfolio of investment basket looking at the trendes in the market. nature of the market is such that it keeps fluctuating. if the choice of investment portfolio of the fund manager is good then he will make profit for the fund . please remember all fund managers are qualified people who take informed decisions. i have not seen many decisions go wrong. that is why is said that investment time line has to be such that you are able to catch the downside and upside of the market. 1 year is too short a period to judge this. have faith in your fund manager and continue to invest. however as an alert investor keep track of the funds and consider change of portfolio if the fund continues to under perform the sensex for a period of 2 years continously.

Jeff, I will be meeting with the Texas land office on Thursday morning and would like to send them the attached tomorrow for their review prior to the meeting.
The attached is a Letter of Understanding (drafted by me based on your prior letter of understanding).
It is specific to the Kathleen Ann storage field and includes the current owner of the field as a third party to the letter.
If at all possible, I would like you (or your designee) to review, modify and resend to me so that I can send it to the land office tomorrow.
Thanks,

First Congregational Church in Benzonia.
THANK YOU CHRIS and JOHN !!!
The Homestead Dam to Benzonia Crew.
Dan Hahn led a contingent of Lake Ann Boy Scouts and their family members.
Also present were some folks from Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Traverse City.
The trees were filled with miles of fishing line and 100s of hooks.
Mary Lee found a lot of them.
John and Laura helped a lot with their canoe.
A little fawn hid from us but I got his photo - sort of.
Woody and Dan helped to unravel the mess at the end.
We were tired but happy to be done and off the river safely with 5 big bags of trash.
Steve from the Benzonia Campgrounds crew stopped by to take the garbage.
Lastly - Here's a good reason to ALWAYS WEAR SHOES while paddling.
This section of the Betsie was in worst shape than I have ever seen it.
I don't have any idea how to make it better and neither does anyone else.
care of their favorite river. At this point they are loving it to DEATH!

The issue is your needs. I started out in the 60s and 70s with cheap consumer gear (35mm film, naturally). But I started vacationing in areas that were too hard on my cameras (rain forests, beaches, active volcanoes), so I bought pro gear, which back in those days meant a Nikon FM2n. That lasted till I converted to digital, and I went cheap there, too. However, my gear now suffers from a week on the Playa at Burning Man ever year, in addition to rain, sand, and fumes, so I've bought used pro bodies for my photography. My photos have no improved. :- But my goal was to have a camera that doesn't fail while I'm using it. I did use medium format film for awhile (Pentax 67), and there's a real wow factor in those images, but still I'm not that good. My 'pro level' camera is now a Nikon D300s, my photos are no better than when I was using my old Nikon FG (which was one that failed in a rain forest), but my pro gear lasts much longer. I've got a lens that I used on the FG still in use, by the way.

It is still there
There are perhaps as many and more people living under slavery-type conditions as there ever were
The real question is what makes you think it ever ended, when really it just altered its manifestation. That is why antislavery legislation is so important at every level of government, and why it should be written into trade treaties
Americans are the most resistant to one crucial realisation, and that is understanding the direction the anti slavery movement took after its initial successes. It looked more closely at economic, political and social power structures, and at the master-servant as well as the master-slave relationship.
In those years of the industrial revolution it saw the children working, often in pitch darkness in the mines. It saw them crippled in factories, women forced by economic circumstance to slave away in factories for long hours, even when heavily pregnant. It saw the evils of class structures in society, and drew the connection between a home police state and an overseas colony
Sometimes working people recognised it too - Lancashire cotton workers refused to handle cotton from slave states, despite loss of earnings to themselves
The antislavery movement led to Trade Unionism, and to concepts of social democracy and representative democracy.
Democracy never really evolved from a Greek ideal - It failed to do that in well over two thousand years. Democracy as we know, and strive for it, was the product of compassionate realisation that slavery was a sin against Humanity that degrades the overseer, far more than the slave, even in the eyes of whatever God. The American fear of “Socialism” is really the slave owners fear of emancipation - of loss of privilege, and the delusion of personal superiority
Slavery was not abolished in 1865 the process of dismantling it continues to this day….Think what you are voting for wherever you are and in whatever country…

Cloud computing is actually something you do, but aren't fully aware of.
The basic idea is that you have a sever run by a major company, say Google for instance, that holds all of your documents but allows you to access them from any computer. The cloud is their servers, allowing you to use any computer with internet access to reach these documents.
The best way to understand though is with examples.
1. You have a document and work on several computers (work computer, laptop, and a home desktop). Before you would have to use a flash drive, but if you had Dropbox you could just put it into the cloud so that it uploads online and keeps an updated copy on all the machines you told Dropbox you use. That means that you have an online copy of your massive report, as well as an up to date one on your work computer, laptop, and your desktop with zero effort on your part.
2. Apple's iCloud shows this as well. If take a picture it'll be uploaded to their servers and automatically moved to every other device you have on their service.
3. Cloud based music players allow you to upload your music online and then listen to it from anywhere with internet. iPod Touch, Android phone, Desktop, or a friend's laptop all of them have your entire library wherever you go with the cloud.

She had met the devil once before, when she visited and escaped from hell. He looked about the same as he did then, though it had been over sixty years ago, with his dark hair and eyes and his pitch fork in his hand.
"You realize," he started slowly, "that if you give me your soul, I guarantee you, I won't let it slip through my grip again." She nodded curtly. She would do anything to save her best friend, even if it meant disappearing from her life forever, even if it meant leaving her to face cruel reality on her own.
"I've taken too much from her," Rose stated, hiding her emotion from him. She truly believed what she said. She had rudely invaded the life of her best friend, stealing the love of those close to the both of them. She felt guilty enough for it before things started going downhill. Her friend was starting to lose control of their life, and was unable to tell the difference between herself and Rose.
"She needs to live without me." Rose heard the screams of protest in the back of her mind, but before she could quell them, she was gone.
Leah was alone in her body and lost in the world.

The Washington Post's Glenn Kessler had a [good explainer](http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/post/sarah-palin-and-the-debt-limit-debate/2011/07/14/gIQAsSbgEI_blog.html) on this a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately he tied it into a political (read: Critique of Sarah Palin) issue, so I'll post the relevant section:
>The debt limit was originally crafted to make life easier for Congress. Before World War I, Congress literally had to cast a vote every time Treasury borrowed money to make purchases authorized by Congress (such as tanks). In 1917, Congress decided to do away with the cumbersome procedure and simply gave blanket approval for most types of borrowing. To keep a check on the executive branch, Congress established a limit.
>But this is not the same as a credit card limit, a frequently used analogy. A credit card limit prevents someone from making more purchases. You may want to buy that $1,000 refrigerator but if you only have $500 left on your credit card, tough luck—unless you round up some cash.
>We have had trouble coming up with a real-life equivalent, but here’s stab at it. Suppose the son of a millionaire was told he could spend $100,000 in a year, and not only that, but he was told exactly how he needed to spend the money. (That’s the fiscal year appropriations bills passed by Congress.). At the same time, the parent told the son the bills would not be paid after a certain date unless he got additional permission to pay them. (That’s the debt limit.)
>In other words, the money has been spent, but an arbitrary ceiling has been set for how much can be paid. If it doesn’t make much sense, it is not supposed to. **But it is the exact opposite of a credit card limit or any such similar analogy.**
My emphasis.

My freshman year of college, I was invited to an end of the year toga party, at a house called Kingwood, where all the theater and music majors gathered to get smashed. I had never been to a toga party before, and I didn't know that the togas were supposed to be baggy, so I used one of my roommate Natalia's hot pink bedsheets, and she and my best friend Sam spent about half an hour pinning and wrapping it into a slutty little minidress. I had just gotten a spray tan that day (I swear it wasn't orangey or "Jersey Shore"), my hair looked hot as hell, put on two bras and my tits looked fantastic. I put on my cute black 4 inch heels and a black belt, and I looked hot as hell, not gonna lie. Sam did something similar, and she looked amazing. I show up, and the whole party pretty much cheers and gasps, because I'm the only one there in a non-white sheet, looking sexy as hell, and most of the girls were jealous, because they hadn't thought of looking sexy at a toga party. I soon became the Slut of the Night. I got totally wasted, hit the bowl and the bong a couple of times, and went out back to smoke a cigarette. At this point, I'm feeling pretty loose and spacey. I attracted the attention of five guys, one of which I had a huge crush on, and four of which were fellow theater majors who I had most of my classes with and which I was pretty good friends. They were almost as drunk as I was, and I let all of them motorboat me, grab my tits, and smack my ass. I must have flashed about twenty people that night, and I'm sure I made out with and slutted it up with more than five guys, but I can't remember at this point. I don't care what anyone says, I was loving it. I'm a pretty sexual person, so it really didn't phase me. I also met this guy who was really interesting and sweet, and we made out all night. I must have looked so skanky and desperate, but I really didn't give a damn. I'm never the type of person to be a slutty attention whore, but it was the end of the year, I was transferring next year, and I thought fuck it, I'm gonna go hard. It was probably one of the few times in my life where I was loving being single. One of the only disadvantages of having a boyfriend is that I would feel pretty awful doing that nowadays.

I'm not in the military either, but let me offer this perspective: It is not entirely unreasonable to refuse to delegate to the civilian government the responsibility of determining who your enemies are, or to feel that the government is too compromised by politics and ideology to appropriately assess and respond to threats to our nation. Both of these positions have flaws, but I don't believe that they necessarily carry a lack of respect for the military. I can even see how they could be fair reasons for deciding not to enlist. However, deciding whether or not to enlist based on how one administration responded to a single event is myopic. If you're going to consider serving our country via the military, you should have some idea of the fact that situations and administrations change, and that enlisting -- even in peacetime -- requires that you accept a wide range of possible civilian governments and their likely responses to unforeseeable situations. The notion that it's fair to decide whether or not to serve based on Bush's actions alone does suggest a lack of respect for the military, in that it belies a lack of understanding of why a thoughtful person might enlist despite political misgivings. Not everyone who enlisted in the wake of 9/11 accepted Bush's idea of the role of the military, and not everyone enlisting today accepts Obama's. I won't be so presumptuous as to try to pigeonhole what motivates those who enlist despite not necessarily agreeing with the civilian government; I am not one of them. I'm hopeful that some who serve will see this and offer their viewpoints.

There are a lot of reasons:
Some people believe that he falsely won the 2000 election (because his brother appointed the judge that ended up cancelling the recount in FL making him the winner).
Some people believe he didn't take his position seriously, as can be shown by his 487 days at his ranch in Texas and 490 days at Camp David.
Many people believe his fiscal policies (tax cuts, not increasing revenue to pay for expensive programs like the two wars, Prescription addition to medicare, etc) were ruinous.
There was also his mishandling of natural disasters like Katrina.
Some people even believe he purposefully ran up the debt, knowing that Democrats are more likely to negotiate than Republicans, and the Republicans could spend the next presidential term feigning fiscal responsibility.
But mostly it's because every political group in the US villainize their opponents to whip up support for their own candidates. Similar things were said about Clinton before Bush, and as far back as there has been a two party system. Bush wasn't all bad, and anyone who claims he never did anything good hasn't looked hard enough.

Even if you feel lost, you are not a failure. You may feel that now but with time you will realise that you are amazing. Don't give up.
Also self-harm is not the solution. If you ever see someone near you hurting themselves, stop them. It is not something cool. You will realise it after a few years. I have had people around me doing it when I was in school and my only regret is not realising it earlier that it's not normal. Don't hurt yourself. Carving someone's name won't get you that person. Also emotional manipulation is not normal. So girls and boys, stop doing that.
You are beautiful the way you are. You do not have to follow the social norms and their definition of beautiful. Having insecurities is normal. Learn to accept and love yourself.
Things like alcohol and cigarette may tempt you but remember there is a reason behind people going to rehabilitation. If it really was helping people world would already a better place. Do not fall prey to all these addictions.
Loyalty is important. That is something you should always remember. Nobody is ever criticized for being a gentleman or respecting a woman. Same applies for girls. Respect is earned not demanded.
Don't make rash decisions. Give yourself time. And if there is something that your conscience doesn't allow, then don't do it.
Don't do things just because they are in trend. Do things that you as a person really approve of.
Stay happy. You are precious.
Keep smiling✨

Leaning back in the wooden lounge chair, I sip my beer and look out at the beach. It's a warm cloudy day, the sea is a dark grayish blue, and being Wednesday night, it's fairly quiet around here.
A few metres away is the half-pipe where I used to skateboard as a 10 year old. It still stands, I guess it never stopped being popular so the council has kept it well maintained. Watching the boys slide and jump, I think back to my skaterboy days. Shoulder-length hair, backwards cap... I wince at the memory. Is there seriously anything more embarrassing than growing up in the 90s?
Mind you, backwards cap and all, I wouldn't mind going back in time. Coolest guy in the class, as much as a bad boy as a blond middle-class ten year old could be. I sure had my share of the girls– not that I had any ideas what to do with them. I wouldn't mind being on that half-pipe again. No financial woes, no job hunting anxieties. Nothing to bring me down but gravity, and I knew how to handle gravity.
Still, I think to myself as I sip my cold beer and look out past the half-pipe, across the grass, and to the sea, life could be worse.

I would call them hero-enablers. Their job is to verify and release... the real risk lies with the whistle-blower... who may be discovered without Wikileaks complicity (Bradley Manning).
On the subject of their bias (or lack of): It is impossible to really know because we only see what they release not what they receive.
A newspaper relies on sales and advertising for revenue while Wikileaks receives only public donations. Also, many news organisations have parent companies that may affect their coverage (See Fox news misleading coverage of the News of the World hacking scandal) while Wikileaks does not. So, in theory, Wikileaks should be less likely to sway to the will of vested interests at least when compared to "traditional" news outlets.

hey thats my street! lol in all fairness guys, every semester at smc, freshmen think its cool to sit in front of the houses on our street and roll fat blunts. i know this cuz i witness it but it doesnt bother me. however theres some people that do have a habit of blazing at like noon in front of the house where this sign is. i see them and they always leave the empty blunt wraps. the people who live there work from home and have young children as do many of the people on our street. now, theres a lot of ents on our street too but we are respectful and don't blaze phattys on others front curb at noon while the kids are napping with the window open! my neighbors and i mostly thought the sign was funny ( with the odd exception of my mother who found it very offensive despite the fact she's also against weed. .. go figure). sorry for the wall of text but if you lived here and had college kids smoking with no respect for your kids or property you might wish they could find a better spot too

By not funding the stupid things so-called conservatives fund which is what got us into this mess. We have been following the Republican way since Reagan, regardless of which party is in power and that is the problem. The Republican way is the path to a third world economy.
By not insisting on manufacturing equipment the military doesn’t even want, for example. The military is our biggest spending by far. Cutting head start & PBS isn’t going to make a fraction of a dent in our debt.
By cutting out tax breaks & subsidies for the wealthiest & corporations. By enforcing environmental regulations and policies. We’d save a fortune by preventing disasters rather than cleaning them up afterward. And regulations are not the culprits in lost jobs. They’ve affected a tiny percentage of jobs. Coal jobs have been disappearing for many decades. Do a little search and you’ll find President Kennedy’s efforts to grow other industry in West Virginia to make up for coal job losses. Also, Green jobs grow the economy. Look at Germany.
We’d also save a fortune if we’d stop subsidizing food that makes us all sick (and damages the environment). We should instead subsidize small local organic farmers. The people who grow vegetables, for example.
By helping people before catastrophe. As it’s been proven by all other developed nations, it’s cheaper to provide universal coverage. It’s also cheaper to house the homeless & help make sure their mental health issues are managed than it is to have EMTs pick them up off the streets and rush them to emergency rooms when they collapse.
By funding better education for all. In all neighborhoods. This is an investment that grows the economy. And a preventative.
By stopping the pathway straight to prison that exists for so much or our population. Get the boots off of people’s necks.

i'll try and answer this from a biological perspective:
Peoples genetics accounts for a great deal about them, not just their looks but their intelligence, how easily they fall in love, how happy they are etc etc. In this light everybody is different. If your referring to why people fight each other in arguments while other people are prone to just rational debate then hormones have a great deal to do with it.
In women, the female hormone oestrogen controls their periods and different women produce different amounts which is why some women are more affected during their period than others. Testosterone is the male hormone and controls things like aggression.
Men who have higher levels of testosterone are more prone to losing their tempers and resorting to fisty cuffs than men who have a lower level. Frustration caused by an arguement not going your way or whatever reason it may be can tip these testosterone pumped men over the edge way faster than some others
some men resort to fists sooner because they pretty much cant help it
of course the are environmental factors involved such as upbringing, but you'll notice even some people with the best upbringing in the world can have a short fuse

Granite is made by solidification and cooling of magma deep within the earth over a period of millions of years. It is known as an igneous rock because of its origin from the cooling down of molten Magma. During the process of heating and then slow cooling, granite forms as an exceedingly hard material.
Granite consists of primarily Feldspar, Quartz which are very hard minerals.
Marble is known as metamorphic stone as it is made by the transformation of another type of stone called sedimentary stone. Sedimentary rocks form from sediments in the earth combined with buried plant life under the earth over a long period of time. These sedimentary rocks get metamorphosed into marble beneath intense heat and pressure. This method incorporates different minerals into the marble that can provide the stone engaging colors.

Cassi is a wonderful peachy-pink creme! As you all know, I normally don't wear pink, but the peach tones in this polish make it way more wearable for me! It also helps that it has that gold shimmer I love so much! I didn't like this polish so much in the bottle. The shimmer looked like those iridescent shimmers that make polishes look more cool toned; however on the nail, the shimmer is a lovely gold that gives the polish a flattering warm tone!
Other swatches online indicate that this is a really sheer polish, but while I thought it was a little on the sheer side for a Zoya, it reached opacity for me in 3 coats. However, my nails are tiny nubbins right now, so I don't have any problems with VNL obviously.

If your "fact" isn't documented, how do you maintain that it is the truth? In the case of South Africa, you're reading court records which will themselves be primary source documents in 50-75 years when "professional historians" begin to examine them. What happens if nobody testifies in court, or influences the passages of a state-funded historian? Well sir, you become a crackpot like myself who spouts off about undocumented exchanges of ideals between the Romans and the Hindus which led to the creation of the Christ myth. It makes sense from a chronological and philosophical standpoint, but without a document to back it up it's just the brainfart of a bored history student.

It’s kind of hard to tell from the picture, but Miss Fancy Nancy is sitting in a chair that is upholstered with children’s b ook covers (well, not literally I hope, but with fabric that has children’s book covers on it). From where I sit I can see The Giving Tree, The Story of Ferdinand, The Hobbit, and one of the Narnia books. It is much better if you go look at the real cover of Fancy Nancy and the Dazzling Book Report.
So, when I live in my house in the English countryside, and I am sitting in my personal library, this is what I am going to be sitting on.

Pursuant to our discussion yesterday regarding the above, please find below for your consideration a suggested revision to MAC/Credit Rating trigger definition to used in all future master trading agreements or confirmations in which Enron Corp's credit rating is part of a MAC/Credit Rating trigger.
"Material Adverse Change" means (i) with respect to [Enron Trading Entity], Enron Corp. (or its successor or its successor's parent company) shall have long-term, senior, unsecured debt not supported by third party credit enhancement that is rated by S&P below "BBB-" [also insert Moody's as appropriate]; I understood yesterday that we may also need to consider changing the definition of Credit Support Provider in the ISDA's.
I suspect that if "Credit Support Provider" is defined as Enron Corp. in the relevant Master, then the corresponding changes noted above would also need to be made.
Your further thoughts regarding this issue are welcomed.
Please provide me your comments to the above language by tomorrow so we can start implementing a revised definition in our agreement templates.

My first motorcycle was Yamaha RX100 and had it not been destroyed in a very horrible accident (fault of a drunk car driver) it would still have been with me till now. I was still in the learning phase.
The first motorcycle I learned to ride on was a Yamaha FZS too. Had it not been stolen I would have been the owner of both the bikes.
Surely, Yamaha is the best and the most reliable motorcycles. Although, I own a Honda and a RE Himalayan yet, I crave for Yamaha.
Yamaha is reliable and will last years. It is easy to handle and can do anything thrown at it. Braking, accelerating, weight, balance, riding quality is all just too good. As a beginner one needs a bike which has all the above qualities so as not to scare the learner. The person also, should not be in awe of the power and acceleration nor should it be docile (slow) to the point of being boring. Cornering and traffic riding is actually very easy while gear shifting has been better on any other motorcycles.

I understand that AA may not provide the review of interim financial information that the SEC requires to be obtained in respect of Form 10-Q filings ( Article 10 of Regulation SX).
Jordan asked me to give an update in an hour about the impact of this on covenants in ENE credit and other instruments requiring delivery of ENE's 10Qs.
(1) I have not yet been able to ascertain whether (i) the AA review or any statement in respect thereof is required to be filed with the SEC, or (ii) if not so required, ENE would file the 10-Q without having obtained the review.
(2) ENE's 364-day corporate revolver (and most other ENE instruments containing the subject covenant) requires ENE to make available either on "EDGAR" or ENE's home page on World Wide Web, or otherwise make available to the Banks promptly after the filing or sending thereof, and in any event within 75 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters, a copy of ENE's report on Form 10-Q.
If ENE does not file the 10-Q, it arguably could nevertheless send it to the banks as confidential information (to comply with Regulation FD) within the required time period and satisfy the covenant.
The revolver contains a confidentiality provision.
Failure to deliver the 10-Q constitutes an Event of Default under the revolver if the failure continues for more than 30 days after ENE has received notice thereof by the Paying Agent.
I will continue to pursue information from the accountants.
Regards, NJD

I was playing at my first PTQ, which was Time Spiral sealed. My opponent and I are both 5-1, going into the crucial round that will determine who will make it into top 8 (top 8 gets an additional draft for single elimination). We were on game 3, and neither of us have any major board advantage. His Errant Ephemeron unsuspends, and attacks me for 4, bringing me down to 7. On my turn, I topdeck a land (this is critical), and play Word of Seizing on his Ephemeron and smack him down to 7. I follow up with an Assassinate on his Ephemeron, and pass the turn. On his turn, he attacks me with an animated flying Totem - I'm down to 5. I topdeck another land, and contrary to what you may believe, this is what wins me the game. "Disintegrate for 7. " What happens next takes the entire room of 82 occupants by surprise. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooOOOOOoooo! " Turns out, my opponent has been playing in PTQs for years, and this is the first time that he's ever come this close to making it to top 8. The guy is literally in tears, and all I can do is stay by the table to comfort him. Imagine me, a young high school kiddo who's at his first PTQ, taking down someone who has been waiting for this moment for ages. Feels bad. Anyways, I end up being super giddy at the draft (getting a warning during picks because I am not used to the strictness of high level play), and win my first match on the back of the U 2/1 shadow with Undying Rage. I lose fairly quickly in the next round to a well built W/U deck, and go home happy with a Time Spiral booster box in my backpack.

Larry Anderson with Carr has called to inquire about ENA financials and an Enron Corp. guaranty.
From an historical perspective, it has always been my understanding that Enron Corp. did not wish to provide guaranties to brokers and we have been successful in that regard with several recent exceptions.
In particular, Enron Corp. provided Carr with a "comfort letter" reciting the corporate "policy of general financial responsibility and interest in seeing that subsidiaries act responsibly."
[letter dated February 16, 1999] Such letter is no longer sufficient to satisfy Credit Agricole which owns Carr.
Joe, I believe that Larry may have already spoken with you.
I don't know if your conversation included discussion of a guaranty.
Please let me know how you would like to proceed.

I installSatellite tv for a living
Dish and DTV work the same way
Both companies use more than one satellite
What package you order determines what kind of dish you get
Some channels are broadcasted on different satellites
Yes all channels are broadcasted everywhere
Satellites are bandwidth limited so for more channels they have to use more satellites
HD channels need more bandwidth so satellite providers put them on newer satellites that support new technologies like mpeg 4 compression
If you look at a dish and count how many "eyes" it has, most of the time it's how many satellites it can receive
When we activate your receiver, we send your receiver ID and card ID through an activation hotline
Upon activation Dish and DTV send an "activation hit" to your receiver with info on what channels to open up for you to view
Please note
English is my second language
This is a simple explanation, It can be more complicated than this

A generous r/beerian has offered up a box of beer for a lucky redditor in the spirit of the holidays, however he wishes to remain anonymous so I am running a contest for him. The contest is as follows: The redditor named (to me privately) a single brewery from somewhere in the world--your task is to guess that brewery. However, to keep it from being a race, multiple people can "get it right" and they'll all be eligible to win. The contest will remain open until Sunday at midnight EST (48 hours from now). Anyone who has named the correct brewery will be added to a pool of which a random winner will be chosen. You get 3 picks. Please put them all in the same post. Anyone who posts picks more than once will be automatically disqualified. Remember, it doesn't matter if someone has already picked a brewery, you can pick them too. Hopefully that's not too confusing.

Christopher Columbus is typically represented as being the first European to set sail for the Americas. On occasion, he has received credit for finding the New World. But there are various points where this is in dispute. There is evidence that the first Europeans to cross the Atlantic were Scandinavian Viking explorers. Additionally, the Americas had already been "discovered" by indigenous peoples hundreds of years earlier.
The first Columbus Day celebration was held in San Francisco in 1869 as a tribute to Italian-American heritage. The first state-wide occasion was held in Colorado in 1907. In the US, Columbus Day was proclaimed a national holiday in 1937. Since 1971, it has been celebrated on the second Monday in October. On the anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the Americas, some Latino communities in the United States and Latin America celebrate the Da de la Raza (Day of the Race). Nevertheless, it is a contentious celebration in certain countries and has seen name changes in others.
Because a sizable portion of the native population died when European settlers arrived in the Americas, celebrations of Columbus Day are contentious. It has long been held that this was brought about by Columbus' actions. It is apparent that the arrival of European settlers led to the loss of a substantial portion of the history and culture of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. Columbus only traveled as far as a few Caribbean islands and never made it to the interior of the continent, therefore some have argued that he shouldn't be credited with discovering North America.

I wanna see the shielding effect of regular glass, maybe thermal glass (pyrex), and more curiously metal screens of varying gauges.
I've noticed that metal screen can greatly reduce radiant heat from fires but I've often wondered if it was the size of the holes that made a difference.
I could imagine "rabbit wire" (1/2 inch holes) holds back almost nothing while finer screens may block infrared simply due to the small openings.
For a final variant you could also compare screens of other materials..fabrics, plastics etc.... See if it's geometry or material composition that's doing the shielding....

I've heard that some people consider the [Battle of Pydna](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Pydna) between Rome and the Macedonians to mark the decline of the phalanx. However, the Romans did have units called triarii, which were oldest and richest members of the army, that employed phalanx-like tactics (triarii were phased out in the Marian reforms 107 BC).

Good morning.
With the energy crisis in California at this time, we will need to be extra careful with nominations at Socal and throughout the west to ensure that we continue to provide the excellent nomination service that we have been providing to our customers.
You guys are doing an excellent job and we understand that you are under quite a bit of pressure with limited staff.
Our contracts state that we must notify every customer of pipeline allocations 12 hours in advance.
We all know that this can be almost impossible on EPNG, but because of the current price levels at Socal and the basins, Enron needs to call each customer and notify them of their cuts with an explanation of the pipeline cuts each day to avoid any potential penalties.
We also need to document when the call was made.
In regards to the ATM nominations on Socal (ones that we can't monitor), Enron will be requesting full pipeline summaries of the nominations from our counterparties.
Please try to think of any nomination gaming that may take place at these historical levels.
We need to remember that our counterparties may not act as they have in the past due to the market price implications on their P&L.
We should not rely on prior business conduct in regards to "standard epng allocations" when dealing with our customers.
I would expect that the market is going to overreact to any cuts that may be above the "pipeline average".
Let's discuss how we are going to monitor the flows of nominations out of our control.
How do we prevent collusion with respect to the socal nominations that we can't see?
Are there package numbers on each baseload contract to ensure that they don't simply reshuffle gas according to price?
Let me know which companies are not providing Enron with timely allocation reports at Socal and I will call their senior trader to discuss getting this operational information sooner.
Sincerely,

They were our Allies, and where you got the idea that they weren't mystified me.
We were killing Germans. They were killing Germans, and doing it on an industrial scale. And if they hadn't, if they hadn't thought the Germans after the Germans attached them, or worse, if they had been beaten by the Germans, then it would have been harder — maybe even impossible — for the Western Allies to defeat the Germans. We sent the USSR planes, tanks ships intelligence sorry and all of the other stuff to help them kill Germans. And they did. There may not have been Russian soldiers standing beside the Canadians at Dieppe, with the British at El Alamein, or with the Americans at the Battle of the Bulge, but the USSR have the Germans what should have been their greatest fear, a war on two fronts.
So don't tell me that we “appeased” the Russians or that they weren't our Allies, because we couldn't have won World War II without them.
