I respectively disagree. On a busy day I want to hit the ground and swap cards quickly, especially if using the camera for work. DSE has remarked of using the AS100 for tandem work. NFC does absolutely nothing for a busy tandem video operation.

I second cannon beach, beautiful. I spent several weeks working at our plant in Vancouver. The one super fun day I had was just driving back roads over to cannon beach, then north up the coast and a loop into Mt St Helens. (LONG DAY!)Multnomah Falls is a pretty nice hike and neat area. We had lunch at a place called the Grant house, which is President Grant's old quarters, turned into a restaurant. I checked out the Mt. Hood area for an afernoon and it was gorgeous. If you have never seen a lock and dam operate you could drive up the Columbia Rive to the next one upstream. It's not overly exciting but interesting if you've never seen one operate. We ate at a place place called Island Cafe once in Jantsen Beach area.

Full tuition at a major school that would cost most of us $100,000.00 or significantly more, with the real potential to make it to the big leagues and make millions isn't enough?

east troy in WI goes to 18k for the "ultimate tandem" but will also do upjump loads if there is enough people on the load that will pay I believe. I just got 22k at SDC during summerfest, but don't know if that's offered outside the boogie at any scheduled intervals. Once again I'm sure if you have enough on the load to pay they'll take one up.

In hundreds of Cessna 182 jumps at a few drop zones with multiple pilots I've never seen flaps engaged. In fact I asked our very experienced jump plane pilot who has also flown turbine DZ's if he uses flaps on jump run and he said he never has and has no reason to.

Yes we were just there in November for our honeymoon. We decided to do the La Toc, and stayed in the Pitons oceanview with private sundeck, which is not in the large "hotel" building but is instead a quadplex up on the hill with a beautiful view. We lOVED it. We took the bus between the resorts. The La Toc is a completely different feel than the Grande, and Halcyon. I will outright say do not even consider Halcyon. It looked very small and chintzy. We both said that if we were to go back to St Lucia we would choose the same room style and do La Toc again. La Toc is older and very grown in. The trees are large around the property and it has a really nice feeling of quietness and is very romantic and more private feeling. Most people we talked to who've done both resorts said they have learned that La Toc is the best place to stay, and the Grande is the place to play. The beach at La Toc was virtually useless as the waves were crazy every day and the flags were up, also the locals pushing "cigars" get very annoying. The Grande has an awesome bay that is always very calm. But the grande just feels like a big ass hotel. They have the nicer pool, but to me, the Grande felt like the younger college/spring break type crowd, and La Toc seemed like the mixed age, quiet and laid back crowd. The food is OK, but I was not impressed, it pretty much all comes from Europe, so the milk, meat, cheese and such all are slightly different in taste and texture than I was used to and things tasted off enough to throw me. For example the bacon is cut from a slightly different spot, and you can tell. The drinks were typical of an all inclusive, mostly rails, but there were some slightly higher end name brands to be had. For beer expect two or three brands. Mostly Heineken and Pitons (Local). I did find a couple more like Newcastle up in the english pub at La Toc. I think the buffets at Grande looked a little better, and they had an Ice Cream shop. We did the Joe Knows tour and the zip lines. We liked both a lot. Joe Knows does a little snorkeling, but I would suggest bringing your own gear for the best snorkeling experience as the tour had shitty masks and no flippers. If you want to know more feel free to PM me any questions.

lol I think you have a pet peeve that you have noticed and now that you've noticed you are hypersensitive to it. Mine is the sounds of people eating. For some reason the sounds of people chewing on food is like nails on chalkboard to me. I work in a snack chip factory so it's pretty common for people to grab a bag of chips off the factory floor and be chomping on it in their cube. I literally have had to get up and leave the office because I was about to blow my top. Another one is the disgusting habit of clipping nails in the office. There are a couple of people you could set your watch to that clip their nails, drives me crazy.

Politicians have never seen a tax they didn't like.

I used to hate crutchfield when I actually worked in mobile audio as an install guy when I was younger. They have been one of the longest lasting and elaborate mobile audio companies around though. This link should take you to the marine receiver offerings. Looks like Kenwood and clarion both offer double DIN units. I've kinda always been more partial to Clarion over Kenwood myself. http://www.crutchfield.com/g_215950/Marine-Receivers.html?tp=61742

One party is. The libertarians. But we are marginalized and made fun of. I guess personal responsibility, freedom, liberty, and fiscal responsibility are "funny" and cray ideas. The general public can continue their crazy belief that the republicans and the democrats are different based on some very small differences on sensationalized social policy differences, meanwhile both parties will spend us right into the shitter. Whether its funding social program after social program for adults that are supposed to be responsible for themselves and the children they decide to have, or feeding the military industrial complex to line their own pocket books, we are doomed if someone doesn't come to their senses and turn off the spigot.

Personally I would immediately file an open records request for any and all records pertaining to the incident including recorded phone calls from you and her, police officer camera footage, and all paper records and statements from the officers on scene. They legally have to satisfy a legal request for open records. This should sufficiently cause some pucker factor and give you full insight into what all has gone on behind the scenes.

Is this the same Bloomberg who supported a NYPD policy of "stop and frisk" whereby mostly young black men are stopped by the police with no due cause and are subjected to search for doing nothing more than walking down the street and being black? Couldn't be.

IV. Conclusion Card and Krueger (1994) excepted, it is difficult to find economists who argue that increasing the minimum wage will increase employment among those workers directly affected. 4 Most economists accept the implications of downward sloping demand curves and upward sloping supply curves and accept the view that increasing the min- imum wage above the market wage will reduce employment and increase unemploy- ment, at least to some degree. But some economists support minimum wage legislation as an effective way to help low-paid workers. Advocates of the minimum wage point to studies that indicate the unemployment effect is small (as many studies do), so the benefit from the higher wage received by those who keep their jobs is seen as greater than the costs to those who become unemployed. This argument for the minimum wage can be challenged on general efficiency grounds by extending consideration beyond those workers directly affected. But in this paper I have challenged the case for the minimum wage by concentrating on the wel- fare of workers and by recognizing that their compensation includes fringe benefits that can be reduced in response to minimum wage increases. The implication is that increasing the minimum wage harms even those workers who keep their jobs precisely because the unemployment effect is small -- the employer reduces fringe benefits to offset the cost of the higher wage even though the lost benefits are worth more to work- ers than the additional wage. Furthermore, because there is commonly some lumpiness in the provision of fringe benefits, increasing the minimum wage may decrease unem- ployment. But this can hardly be considered an advantage of the minimum wage, since workers are harmed the most by a minimum wage increase when it does reduce unem- ployment, because that is when it is also causing the largest loss in fringe benefits. Reference Lee, D. R. (2004). The minimum wage can harm workers by reducing unemployment.

CONCLUSION This study examined the impact of state-level minimum wage rates on unemployment rates, focusing on the long term unemployed over the 1984-89 period. The emphasis on long term unemployment extends minimum wage research by considering how unemployment durations for attached low skilled workers are affected. By examining the 1984-89 period, we took advantage of the large cross-sectional variation that occurred when many states raised their minimum wage above the federal minimum rate of $3.35. We consistently found that the minimum wage is positively related to long term unemployment rates after a lag. However, it was often the case that the sum of the contemporaneous and lag minimum wage coefficients was of only modest statistical significance (i.e. at the 10-20% level). Yet, the reduced form results without the production worker wages suggested a statistically significant minimum wage result at the 5% level. Regarding minimum wage coverage, we found that greater coverage increases long term unemployment, where the statistical significance was stronger than for the minimum wage rate results. One possible factor that influenced the minimum wage rate results was measurement error in estimating the long term unemployment rates. In fact, further analysis using aggregate labour market measures yielded results strongly consistent with long term unemployment patterns. This increased our confidence in the long term unemployment results. These results suggest that policy makers at the federal and state level should weigh additional total unemployment, as well as the possibility of longer durations of unemployment, in contemplating future minimum wage increases. In particular, state policy makers should consider the prospect of firm and household relocation in their decision making. Likewise, in an era of welfare reform, these results suggest that some low-skilled welfare recipients may experience long job searches, suggesting that minimum wage hikes may run counter to the work requirement goals of welfare reform. One possible policy alternative is expanding the earned income tax credit. To be sure, this does not mean that policy makers should forego minimum wage increases, just that they should fully weigh the costs and benefits. The findings tend to support the standard prediction that there are negative consequences from raising the minimum wage, at least at the state level. Foremost, this was the case even after adjusting for the empirical concerns raised by CARD et al., 1994; and CARD and KRUEGER, 1995. None the less, more research should be conducted to explore if these results apply to other periods besides the 1980s. However, a challenge facing such research is that, unlike the late 1980s, there has been considerably less cross-state variation in minimum wage rates in the 1990s. Another complication is that the Federal Government no long publishes state-level minimum wage coverage estimates. Reference Partridge, M. D., & Partridge, J. S. (1999).

This makes for some very good reading. http://bastiat.mises.org/?s=minimum+wage. I can say that from my work experience building automation is that there are very fine lines. A fine line between automating a job and not automating it, and it always comes down to return on that investment, in my company it's typically calculated by the IRR method. I will assure you that these conversations happen more and more as talks of wages for unskilled labor go up, especially when you start considering rising healthcare costs, abseneeism, , rising transportation costs, and injury claims. I can make a robot build motors, inspect parts with laser precision, paint cars,weld ships, and grade and stack mint leaves. You don't think we can make one that builds burgers after you enter your order at a kiosk? A basic programmable processor that cost $600 or more ten years ago that required $1,000 software to talk to it can now be had for under $100 with free software. Automating mundane tasks that are repeatable has become insanely easy and cheap.

Robotics are already building burgers in frozen food plants. I have worked on this equipment already. My occupation is automating things. My last few years have been dedicated to developing automation for carton erection, carton filling, robotic palletizing/de-palletizing, and automated warehousing for a fortune 50 snack food company. The technology is getting cheaper and cheaper. If you would have told me 10 years ago that I could buy the kinds of controllers for less than $100 that we can now (with free programming software by the way) I would never have believed it. These people are quickly demanding themselves out of jobs. That's OK I guess, it guarantees me job security and higher wages.

I'm not sure what sight that is on that rifle, but it appears as though it could be a red dot site. One premier benefit to red dots is that they are relatively parallax free, as in you can shoot relatively accurately without being perfectly lined up with the sight picture. Typically red dots lack any magnification. they are there to replace iron sights and allow very fast target acquisition without having to refocus your eyes down the sight.

What I've used in the past on other types of helmets. http://www.matguardusa.com/matguard-helmet-and-pad-wipes-and-sprays.html I've also heard of using a light amount of hydrogen peroxide sprayed in.

Exactly the same as what I use. I run the cable down to something strong, typically the seat mount or framework.

Shall we all gander a guess to how many times the n-word is thrown out player to player on the basketball court during a game or on the football field during a game? The media has recordings of that on-field banter, yet that never makes the prime time news. hmmm why not?

Not a bit easier to get into than the average home. I would in fact say a car is MUCH harder to break into than a home. Car windows are safety glass that is very hard to break compared to the windows of a home. Hell the walls of most new homes is nothing but styrafoam covered siding that you could kick through.

Hence why all of my vehicles have very good lock boxes that are attached via wire roped to a seat mount, which are stored in a locked center console, inside of a locked vehicle with alarm.....

DHS is too busy buying hollow point bullets to afford anything else.

Saint Ronald edict by EXECUTIVE ORDER 12548 was in 1986.. he stopped paying in 1993.. Times change.. and public land is just that PUBLIC.. administered for all Americans.. not for just one douche doing VERY well by ripping the rest of us off. Tell me how you feel about a ski resort being operated on public land? Do you feel entitled to not have to pay $60+ a day to use that public land? If you want to get into ripping off people for the use of "their" land I'm not sure that you could find a better example.

What's hilarious about this is that anybody thinks the President of the US (no matter who it is) would give a crap about this low level stuff before any shooting started. This is NOT the result of anything The White House has said or done. This IS the result of a guy deciding to not pay more than a million dollars in taxes. Where we are right this moment in this case is precisely where we'd be no matter who sat in the Oval. With your concern about the lack of payment, I'm sure you'd be just as supportive of a couple hundred armed agents showing up at good ol' poster boy Al Sharpton's front door to collect the $1.9 million he and NAN owein back taxes, right?
