haha What symptom do you treat by putting a 9-volt battery to your tongue? My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?

You know, I was thinking earlier today, if there's any proof of the non-existence of a deity or deities, J. Hendrix is probably it. His music is so unequivocally mediocre, yet people tout it about as though it were gospel. A powerful metaphor indeed. Thanks for posting My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir.

Yes, China, that paragon of healthcare. Facing drastic levels of hypertension, renowned for mixing blood and responsible for SARS and covering up epidemics of h5n1. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?

Homeopathy is an analogy. A little bit of the bad sometimes does good. If you crook your head, you can kind of see ways that it comes out variously in the real world. For instance, steel's tensile strength improves somewhat when it is initially loaded. Bones sometimes grow back stronger after a break. Allergies can sometimes be reduced by repeat limited exposure to the allergic factor. Vaccination, etc. The real world works on physics tho, not on analogy. You can't use homeopathy to infer anything that you couldn't with physics, traditional medicine, chemistry etc, and homeopathic analogy is often very wrong. If alternative medicine worked, it would be real medicine. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?

Wait, which side is the liberal one? The one that wants to take liberties with the environment, or the one that wants to conserve it? My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?

So it was a mistake to refer to other gods in the commandment, when there are none... aha! My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?

I've always wondered about this bit. Because in Genesis all old Mighty has to do is pronounce something for it to exist. So it seems that He or She all of a sudden creates other gods at once in order to belittle them. Or is god not omnipotent in that god cannot create other gods... hmm... The least Christians could do is acknowledge their god's actions, and thus recognize other gods, even if they do not worship them. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir.

On the other hand, history is not an organism. The whole region or parts thereof has been in and out turmoil for centuries since the decline of the Ottomans. It's been more or less cyclical, and we're currently in a trough. There's no sense in forecasts of doom extrapolated from the short term trendline.

Speaking as a former client of CA, I'm so sorry... If it's a 401k, the maximum is $15000 for the year of 2006, and the maximum annual contribution goes up over time. Depending on your means, you should try to hit that number for the maximum tax benefit. What you put into your 401k comes out of what you pay taxes on now, and presumably you'll have less IRS taxable income when you eventually draw out of your 401k....so there's an overall tax benefit to you to maximize it.

I'm rather convinced that using the taser that way was unnecessary, and rather brutal. I thought the purpose of a taser is to incapacitate someone, not to make them stand up or to inflict pain once they're down. Tho I've not had the pleasure of being tased myself, I gather the purpose of the device is to make someone limp. If the guy is already acting limp, there's no point in tasering him. And once tased, limpness would certainly be no further excuse to tase again. Someone want to correct me? My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose.

If you practice a bit, you can get your mouth to resonate at the frequency of the brush + harmonics with even more practice. You can make it quite loud, I gather it sounds kinda like rubbing the tops of wine glasses with wet fingertips from what people have said to me My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir.

Although I wonder about the lifespan of the skin. I remember talking to the balloonist at WFFC a couple years ago, and iirc he mentioned that a regular hot air balloon only lasts something like 300-500 hours, and can be extended for another few hundred by refurbishing the top skin at considerable cost.

Oddly enough, it doesn't speak either of liberating people or of invading countries. Suck it, liberals. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-11/rc-rss111306.php My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?

I've got a pilot 120 that used to open like you describe yours. I fly a wingsuit pretty much all the time, and pretty much all of the openings were like how you describe your hop & pops. I switched to a larger PC, ZP instead of F111, and I stopped rolling the tail. I'll give the tail one or two turns, just enough to set it down, and the tail nearly comes apart again as I stuff it in the dbag. Now even on a slow (like 60mph slow) deployment it opens very promptly. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?

There's a problem with trying to pin people down on a number line like that. Notwithstanding the mathematical problems with measure theory (which should immediately disqualify any attempt to place people or parties on a spectrum), it seems every 5 to 10 years we get a different set of things that are somehow supposed to perpetually and incontrovertably represent "left" and "right". Until they morph into a new set of meanings. It's positively Orwellian. As I understand it, the terms originally referred to loose collections of people who sat on the left and right of the French Parliament in the 18th Century. The terms, certainly as used on this forum, but IMO just about everywhere else, have no value. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose.

The majority party in both chambers sets the agenda for what will happen. A simple majority in either the House or the Senate is required for almost all purposes. When a different party assumes the majority anew, the first thing they do is rewrite the bylaws of proceedings and reassign membership in the subcommittees (generally in proportion to the overall membership). The Senate is traditionally very generous to the minority party, and the House is traditionally very severe to the minority party. The Senate, for instance, generally lets the minority party speak for as long as they want (giving rise to filibusters). The House, on the other hand, traditionally places drastic limits the amount of time that a minority member may speak to the chamber, and the Speaker will not recoil from rudely shutting them up. Basically it means that the only majority party can do things such as introduce new legislation, initiate investigations, or hold hearings. The minority party can generally only get in the way. If the minority party is united and the majority is not, sometimes the minority party can squeeze things through a subcommittee. But it's pretty rare.

Twice poetic, because now they don't have to worry about helping their opponent in order to voice support for the democratic process. What's the split on when they'll come out in favor of verifiable voting trails now? Do you suppose if they don't pipe up it'd mean they prefer a flawed election process to their own political office? scary indeed. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir.

And depending on how the fiasco in Va goes, dubious electronic voting schemes could turn into a massive windfall for dems. It may be impossible to conduct a recount of ballots in Va because they don't require a paper trail. All they can do is tally up the aggregate figures from the districts that used touchscreens. In contrast to Montana, where the state-mandated paper trail could have been used to recount the actual ballots in the event of a dispute (although a dispute does not appear to be possible in Montana due to the margin of victory). Windfall as in the Dems possibly taking control of the Senate as a result of the inability to recount Va paperless touchscreen ballots. My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir.
