Really? This kind of makes me think the whole bail revoked thing is more of a "made for TV ratings and political reelection points" stunt then. This is without a doubt a political stunt, geared toward people like tkhayes, who have absolutely no interest in fair justice. We'll seen twice now that Zimmerman complies on his own with arrest warrants. He has no passport, they know where he is. If he wanted to flee, he could have done so already with the help of SYG fans. This looks a bit like delayed mitigation of the damage done a couple weeks ago when the reports of his actual condition, as well of the deceased, were released. The state has a terrible case and knows it. No fucking chance at a second degree conviction, and the tactic of overcharging to try to get manslaughter is a bit transparent.

this sheet has a lot of judgement calls ... but without having an idea about the persons making the calls (like could the shooter retreat), it's difficult to take at face value.

better educate the women that seem so prone to hooking up with this loser? Or simple sex education and funding to that Devil's Org, Planned Parenthood? Anyone find a picture of the guy? Is he the hottest man alive, to manage his exploits?

career farmer seems to gloss over his time as a politician from 1961- as a state senator and then governor in Georgia. And what about Reagan being the "union" head of the actors guild? So what if he named names...

No, you are taking a small sample and trying to claim it represents the whole. A totally bullshit tactic used by people that are either ignorant or smart enough to know it is the only way their claim works.... No, you made shit up. What source can you provide to support your claim that engineering is 100k and liberal arts is 30-40k at best? You can't because it's an flat out lie. Just a couple weeks ago Kallend provided a real source. http://www.payscale.com/best-colleges/degrees.asp I'm eager to see how you disregard reality again (like saying Florida 2000 is proof of voter fraud existing). You are very creative for an engineer- can architect new truths using gaseous materials alone!

So instead of buying one 20 oz. drink, I'll have to buy two 12 oz. drinks, for a total of 24 ounces, or even more than I had before. Yeah, that'll help a lot! And besides, each movie theatre seat only has one drink holder, so where in the heck am I going to put my extra drink cup while I'm waiting to get to it? I don't want to set it on that slimy floor, all gooey with fake popcorn butter and whatever people tracked in on their shoes. the movie theater would lose the revenue outright, I suspect. The only way they've been able to sell $7 cokes is that it comes in a big ass container and includes free refills (common for the largest size), while the small costs $5+. From the headline, I thought this might be less ambitious and target the 32oz (Big Gulp) and greater sizes. Going after the 20oz bottle probably makes this proposal DOA. BTW, why would the Venti be affected? If it's coffee and milk, it wouldn't fall under sweetened drinks. So the latte and the capp are still good. But the mocha or the fraps may. -- As for the why - the sweetened drinks do account for the lion's share of people's daily calorie surplus and the migration in the 80s from the 12oz can to the 16oz bottle and then the 20 does correspond well to the growth in obesity. As this starts effecting the bottom line (health care spending, by all of us), the question of when to start imposing such measures will come up more and more.

hmm....that's like being unable to distinguish the Beatles from the Beegees, Bill.

Dorm housing is amazingly expensive for what it is. Almost certainly better off sharing an apartment with friends on the campus periphery. But even there, rent of 500/month is typical in a urban college town. That's 6k right by itself. Would you say you were driven to achieve in that time frame? The big downside to the CC route over a strong academic school is the average ability of the students. The quality of education for lower division classes is unlikely to differ, and the instructors will be more accessible, but the curve is lower and thus you can get away with more, the depth of the lecture may not delve as deep. It is incumbent on that student to put in more effort than is needed. I personally would not have done so well...but after the 8 prior years of aggressive education I needed a break and would have benefited greatly from a year or semester off.

I've argued that the tens or hundreds of even thousands of cases of voter fraud in an election pale to the > 1% count error endemic to vote counting, which would be 1 million missed votes in a major election for the US. So even if you take your dozens of examples and multiply them by 100 for the presumed missed events, you've struggling to get a number that is even 1/10th as big.

Does not matter. The job of the SCOTUS is what decides if something is Constitutional or not... Not the President. you might want to read the oath taken by the President.

And my point is that we could debate what could happen, in which case we have a million problems to solve, or we could instead actually solve the problems WE KNOW exist. I think you have to go back to 1960 in Illinois for a relevant event. Not exactly current times, though.

Yep, personal attacks seems to be the best you can do. I see you have been unable to debate the claims and now have to resort to the only play you have left. I pay more, much more, in taxes than you claim I should be able to make. And as I told you, this region has hundreds of thousands of others in the same boat. Ergo, you're making shit up. You can't defend numbers you pulled out of your ass - admit it.

Your general premise is likely correct, but "every" is almost certainly false. An illegal alien that votes is likely to do it once. They may have been told that they were legally entitled to vote and shown how to register. So behind them is a single entity or group directing them, but no multiplier. But if someone really is directing other's absentee ballots, or showing up at the polling place and picking a random name, yes, I think it's fair to expect that they are casting more than one ballot. Maybe all the polling places they can walk/drive to. So sure, let's say it's 10 votes, an order of magnitude larger. The problem remains however, that the 1% threshold of a million miscounted voters is still 2 orders of magnitude greater (100x). We're a far way off from parity still.

And it has been provided more than once... Even Mr. Hayes provided an example of the issue in FL. Since the 2000 election was

Iago - I view both HP and Sony as attractive as airline stocks.

Fixed it for you. Change may hurt, but it is not always bad. unfortunately, it takes a hell of a lot fewer people to write new browsers and email clients than it does to design, integrate, ship, and support physical computers. It's also not the same people - much more software and much less hardware and distribution work.

I bet they avoid devices that burn 20W when they're in standby. Their usage has got to be less than our typical vampire drain from badly devised electronics.

I'll raise you and say this is the primary motivation behind all of the voter fraud nonsense. Perfect execution - short notice, puts the burden on the citizen, and worse, is being done AFTER THE PRIMARY. I don't object to an intelligent done purging, but the period between any primary (and esp the 4 year cycle) and the main election should be off limits to voter tampering. By the time a person notices they didn't get a voter information card in the month before the election it may be too late to do anything about it. This already is a higher degree of voter fraud than the defenders have been able to demonstrate.

aye, but accidents are equally devastating to small DZs. In a coin flip situation, they'll certainly take the conservative approach. A key lesson for the DZs to consider is the timing of that message. I suspect one of the reasons you took it badly (not like one would ever take it well) is that you spent the morning driving out there and getting jacked up in anticipation, only to fall flat. I was pretty angry when a wind hold cancelled my AFF1 jump. They didn't tell us the winds would build...certainly wouldn't want to rush us, but while we sat around trying to suck up the courage, the window closed. I was ticked off for days.

They may have to spend more on air conditioning in summer, but they'll also pay less for heating in the winter. So over the course of the year, it'll average out. his post is really focused on the price of gasoline. Although I thought the Germans, along with most of the EU, had long been suffering from the rather highly taxed gas prices, making the recent increases feel much less significant than for those long distance commuters in the US.

I agree, but which is the bigger problem, the fact that we know we can't count legitimate votes correctly, or the possibility of a couple of illegitimate votes (which we also can't count correctly) getting through? Equal, remember, "every vote counts". a 1% counting error out of 100million voters is a million votes. how many cases of fraud are you willing to claim in a single election? Can you even support 1000 with any real degree of certainty? Even at 100times that, it's still 1/10th the problem, and if 'equal' is the directive we should be spending 91% of our time/money on the machines.

still waiting for any (recent) example to prove such a claim.

Last I checked, the Supreme Court was the one that decided what was Constitutional... Not the President. they can only react to what Congress or the President do. And the President is the only single person that can act (executive decisions) or sign/veto legislation.

How cute... The best you can do is personal attacks. not much more to say when you post nonsense like you did. Your grasp of salary potential and achievement based on major is simplistic at best. I live in a region with hundreds of thousands of counterpoints to your claims.
