  1. Do Not cut that off. Any rigger can address this issue in a matter of minutes.
  2. The movie is a very accurate translation of the book. Some of my favorite anecdotes from the novel were left out of the movie. But its still 95% book to screen translation.

  10. Yeah. Put that in black and white. You are drinking 1/2 case of beer per night and 1 to 2 cases of beer over a weekend? You're an adult. The binge drinking habits you develop now will stay with you for life.
  11. You could cut back on the alcohol but I would try removing the diablo hot sauce from the 2am buritto. And have a few liters of water in your fridge along with some multi-vitamins and some Aleve ( naproxen sodium). "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

  16. Do you need to adjust the brake settings? Have you jumped the new line set? I like to put at least 20 jumps on a new line set (break them in) before deciding the factory setting needs adjustment.
  17. HELLO?!?! Can you even defend Bush as a "compassionate Conservative"? Bush doesn't even begin to qualify by the standard. see above
  18. So when George W. Bush says "I am a conservative", which type are we supposed to assume? The spendthrift type, warmongering type, incompetent type, lying type, Constitution defiling type, or all of the above? I wonder if you have any idea of where the phrase "Compassionate Conservative" even comes from or how most Conservatives interpet it? Hint 1: Bush didn't invent the term. Hint 2: Google Marvin Olasky. Your homework assignment is to come back here and explain how "Compassionate Conservatism" differers from "Conservative Liberal" or "New Democrat". I'll be waiting to grade your thesis. - Is this Bush's example of being a compassionate conservative? Washington, D.C., June 14, 2006 "We've got a lot of rebuilding to do. First, we're going to save lives and stabilize the situation. And then we're going to help these communities rebuild. The good news is -- and it's hard for some to see it now -- that out of this chaos is going to come a fantastic Gulf Coast, like it was before. Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott's house -- he's lost his entire house -- there's going to be a fantastic house. And I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch." (Laughter) --George W. Bush, touring hurricane damage, Mobile, Ala., Sept. 2, 2005 "I think younger workers -- first of all, younger workers have been promised benefits the government -- promises that have been promised, benefits that we can't keep. That's just the way it is." --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., May 4, 2005 "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  19. From the Public Policy Institute of California, 2005 figures, www.ppic.org 1. Los Angeles County is the most populous county in the United States. With just over 10 million residents, LA County has almost twice as many people as second-place Cook County, Illinois, and almost three times as many as third-place Harris County, Texas. Its population exceeds that of 44 states. 2. LA County has one of the most diverse populations in the world. Latinos are the largest racial/ethnic group in the county, comprising 47 percent of the population in 2003. Whites comprised 30 percent of the population, Asians 12 percent, African Americans 9 percent, people of more than one race 1 percent, and all others 1 percent. In 2003, LA County was home to 3 percent of the nation’s population, but 17 percent of the nation’s Koreans, 14 percent of Mexicans (12% of all Latinos), 14 percent of Filipinos, 13 percent of Chinese, and 13 percent of Japanese. Over half of the county’s residents (56%) speak a language other than English at home. 3. After a decade of slow growth, LA County population growth rates have rebounded. The county gained over 600,000 residents between 2000 and 2004, growing at an annual rate of 1.5 percent. In the 1990s, the county grew at an annual rate of less than 1 percent (0.7%), due primarily to large outflows of the county’s residents. During that time, the Asian population had the fastest growth rates and Latinos the greatest numerical increase, while the non-Hispanic white population declined substantially. The 1990s were the first decade since the 1850s in which New York City experienced higher growth rates than Los Angeles. 4. Immigration and natural increase account for LA County’s population growth. In 2003, more than one in every three LA County residents (36%) was foreign-born. The majority of those residents were not citizens of the United States (41% of the foreign-born were naturalized citizens). Between 2000 and 2004, natural increase – the excess of births over deaths – added 374,000 new residents to LA County, and immigration led to an increase of 366,000. The county continued to lose people to other parts of California and other states, with a net loss of 139,000 people due to domestic migration. 5. Poverty and income disparity are high in LA County. The county is home to 28 percent of California's population but 34 percent of California's poor. With 16 percent of its population living in poverty, LA County has substantially higher poverty rates than the rest of the state (12%). At the same time, 4 percent of LA County families have incomes of $200,000 or more, a share similar to that of the rest of the state. 6. LA County has the most registered voters in the state but ranks average in voter turnout. Nearly 4 million of LA County adults are registered to vote – over 2.5 million more than the counties with the next largest numbers of registered voters (San Diego and Orange). Seventy percent of eligible adults in LA County are registered to vote. Among California’s 58 counties, LA County’s voter turnout in the November 2004 general election ranked 33rd as a percentage of registered voters (78%), a higher level of participation than in San Diego (76%) and Orange (73%) Counties. 7. LA County is one of the most Democratic in the state. About half of registered voters (51%) are Democrats, 27 percent are Republicans, and 18 percent are decline-to-state. In November 2000, 53 percent were Democrats, 28 percent were Republicans, and 14 percent were decline-to-state. In the November 2004 general election, LA County voters favored Democratic candidate John F. Kerry over George W. Bush (63% to 36%), while voters in the rest of the state favored Kerry over Bush by a smaller margin (54% to 44%). "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

    farts

    A friend of mine, who is a Professor at MIT, shared his theory about farts. Still collecting evidence on this theory. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  21. There are a lot of variables to vision correction but think of it a a sliding scale Near Sighted------------Normal-------------Far sighted The prescription for the near sighted person would be correcting their vision towards the right side of the scale. The person with 20/20 vision wearing the same glasses would have their vision "corrected" the same amount towards the farsighted direction of the scale.
  22. So we should destroy the entire country to save the Iraqis? The self defense mission is so 2003. Don't forget, we invaded a sovereign nation without provocation. Iraq posed no threat to America, despite all the propaganda. Maybe their leader wasn't such a great guy, but then, neither is ours. Might I suggest picking up a copy of The Art Of War so you might understand why your proposal is a very bad idea. Yeah.... I can't possibly imagine what Sun Tzu would say... "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
  23. I'm Very Serious! Scout's Honor. Besides if the originals ever got out you would know it was me... therefore they are safe.
  24. Hells, Yeah! Seriously, though. You have to select the right person for this kind of joke. maybe someone with more than 500 jumps... must be a friend. This kind of joke probably wouldn't go over so well at a boogie or a new DZ. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
