There was always a compromise to be had -- a way out of striking down the individual mandate without giving Congress the power to force people to buy health insurance (or broccoli!). A few sharp-eyed commentators pushed it. One was Joey Fishkin on Balkinization. His idea was that the mandate was actually a choice: between buying health insurance and paying a small penalty. Which all along should have been called a tax, and would have been but for the Democrats' skittishness about using that word.
Chief Justice John Roberts essentially saved the Obama administration and Congress from that political and bad semantic decision Thursday. He upheld the individual mandate as a tax, not as an expression of Congress' Commerce Clause power. Joining him were the court's four liberal-moderates -- Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor.
Not among those five votes was Anthony Kennedy. Here is a closing line of the dissent he signed, along with Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas: "We would find the Act invalid in its entirety."
So, the Affordable Care Act came within one vote of being struck down entirely. And that missing vote was Roberts'. I would never have called that in a million years. But here is his key line: "The individual mandate must be construed as imposing a tax on those who do not have health insurance, if such a construction is reasonable."
This is fully in the tradition of judicial modesty and restraint: Courts are supposed to read ambiguous language in statutes to uphold them, if they can, without distorting the words beyond recognition. Because otherwise, they go too far to block the work of the directly elected branches -- the definition of activism. That's the gift Roberts gave President Obama and Congress. To read "penalty" as "tax" isn't to distort. It is generous, but properly so.
Regulate, not compel
Left to their druthers, the four justices on the left -- Breyer, Ginsburg, Kagan, and Sotomayor -- would have gone down the Commerce Clause road with the Obama administration. They think that Congress did have the power under the Commerce Clause, as well as its authority to tax and spend, to enact Obamacare.
Roberts disagreed. Here is the limit he set: "Construing the Commerce Clause to permit Congress to regulate individuals precisely because they are doing nothing would open a new and potentially vast domain to congressional authority."
Also: "The Framers knew the difference between doing something and doing nothing. They gave Congress the power to regulate commerce, not to compel it."
Does it matter that the Supreme Court upheld the law as a valid use of Congress' taxing power instead of its commerce power? I don't think so. It matters not at all for saving the health care law.
And more broadly and in the future? This looks like a victory for the libertarian, let's-limit-Congress reading of the Constitution that is symbolic for now and maybe not much more than that in the future. After all, future presidents and Congresses can craft legislation to heed Roberts' warning. As long as they don't regulate people for doing nothing -- for not buying something, in this case -- they're in the clear.
On the underlying question, I'm with the four liberals here: I don't buy the idea that not buying insurance equals not participating in the national health care market. But I don't think upholding Obamacare on alternate grounds, as lawyers say, means the court trampled all over Congress' powers to regulate commerce between the states. It looks more to me like a speed bump or a detour than an insurmountable wall.

Religious conservatives, emboldened by President Bush's re-election and confident of their political clout, are not interested in merely overhauling the judiciary. Ideally, they are seeking a judiciary that would remove the wall of separation between church and state.
This ambition is stated clearly in numerous legal briefs on file at the Supreme Court in connection with a pending case; they seek removal of "a Berlin wall" that is "out of step with this nation's religious heritage." Their leaders argue in interviews that the church-state barrier is a "myth" invented by the high court in 1947, thanks to a twisted interpretation of our founding documents.
Religious conservatives are either unfamiliar with the efforts of Colonial Baptists, with Madison's Memorial and Remonstrance and with Jefferson's Act for Religious Liberty, or they are determined to obscure them.

Live life to the fullest.
My subscription is now up so I can't see any emails sent. Update- I am now enlisted into the US Navy and will be leaving for bootcamp on November 4. I am quiet when you first meet me but after I get to know you I get more comfortable. I am sarcastic at times so if you can handle it and dish it, I can take it. Family is huge to me. I love spending time with them, we usually have game night once a week. I love having a good time whether that is sitting at home watching a movie or out with friends. I love to travel. I love the outdoors, hiking, fishing, camping, starting a fire in the backyard, going to the rodeo, or just hanging out. I love kids and have a passion for leading them to be great men and women of the future. I am most comfortable in my jeans and t-shirt but I'm not afraid to dress up every now and then. I don't care to wear makeup unless it is a special occasion. I love going to the shooting range or to my grandfathers land to shoot. I turn 21 in August but have been told I act older than my age. I love random trips. I want someone who won't mind hopping in the car one weekend, taking off, and seeing where we end up. I like adventures and don't mind getting lost. Takes adventure to a different level when trying to figure out the way to get back on track. I know girls say they workout 5 or more times and most guys don't believe that but I do. My recruiter has me working out every morning so I can get ready to leave and I have to say, it's starting to grow on me. On a Sunday I can plop down on the couch and watch any NFL football game and actually know what's going on. I love sports and love going to live games. I grew up in the church so it has always been a part of my life so I am looking for someone who will put God before anyone and who loves Him more than me. I am hoping to find someone who loves to have a good time, someone who can have a good time just hanging out, and someone who likes me for me and won't try to change me. I love when a guy is respectful of a lady and one who was raised right, yes ma'am, no ma'am, one who will pull a chair out for me to sit down, and one who will hold open the door for me. And someone who can teach me how to 2 step. :) Submitted from mobile

I heard about the city of Shibam on the BBC, and looked it up as well as the Aga Khan awards. Thank you for the wonderful photos. It truly is amazingly beautiful. I am impressed by the work people have done to repair the city, and the photos share the experience with us. It is wonderful that this work is bringing the city back to life.

Dear Zuhair:
Thanks so very much for the word usage correction. "Yemenese" appears all over the Internet, although we know that this is not much of a guarantee for accuracy. We really appreciate your input and helpfulness in setting the record straight. Thanks for reading!

"Yemenese" isn't a word! Things or people of or pertaining to Yemen are called Yemeni. Cool article though!

Chappell didn't need full game to have big night
HENDERSON, Ky. - Henderson County senior Keileen Chappell had a night to remember in Friday's 53-16 rout of Apollo.
Considering the running clock was already in play at the 8:10 mark of the third quarter, Chappell's 210-yard rushing mark was even more impressive.
The 5-10, 190-pound senior achieved his career high on just 17 carries. Of course, it helped that he had several big plays — runs of 36 and 51 yards in the first quarter got him off to a good start. He threw in a 73-yarder touchdown run late in the second quarter.
In less than 28 minutes of play, Chappell scored four touchdowns against the Eagles — one coming on a 38-yard screen pass from Hunter Comer for the first reception of his career.
The highlight of the game was his physical 87-yard kickoff return that answered an Apollo touchdown just before halftime and preceded back-to-back Colonel touchdowns in a span of 1:12 that broke the back of the Eagles.
With a 38-8 halftime lead, Henderson County had the mercy rule on its mind to start the second half. After running back Russell Fuchs scored his second touchdown of the game on the opening possession of the third quarter, Colonel coach Clay Clevenger thankfully went for the two-point conversion that would allow the clock to start running with seven more points. That's exactly what happened less than 1:30 later after Kameron Ray recovered an Apollo fumble at the 20 to set up Chappell's fourth touchdown.
After Friday's 42-yarder late in the first quarter, sophomore kicker Nick Gregory is now 6-of-6 on field goal attempts this season with three of those kicks going for more than 40 yards. With at least one field goal in four of the team's first five games, Gregory continues to keep Tanner Siewert's 2003 record of nine field goals in a season in his sights.
Henderson County hosts Meade County Friday in its last game before an open date and the start of district play. The Green Wave is 2-3 but has played a challenging schedule. Two of Meade's losses have come to ranked teams — John Hardin 28-10 and Warren Central 21-7, which are ranked second and third in Class 5-A. The Green Wave lost to the Colonels 34-18 last year in Brandenburg.
Meade is one of three teams that won't be back on Henderson County's schedule next year. The others are Bowling Green and Muhlenberg County. Newly-consolidated McCracken County, which will open in the fall of 2013, will replace Muhlenberg County in the 6-A First District. Muhlenberg will move to the Second District.
The Colonels will resume their rivalry with Madisonville and also add Paducah Tilghman to the schedule to replace Bowling Green and Meade County.

It's a love letter to the myriad ways, large and small, that mail handlers change lives the world over.
The movie consists of the journey, the conversations, the scenery, the little human stories. No big drama. No emergencies. Just carrying the mail, which over the years has supplied the threads to bind together all of these lives.
The beauty of Huo Ji Anqi's film transcends China's lush Hunan province to focus on the peace that comes from within.
It is an endearing, likable film, though its benign surface may cover some subtle propaganda on behalf of China's centralized government.
Undeniably a heart-tugger, but it is also a stirring affirmation of the rewards of a job well done.
Quite moving thanks to its gorgeous cinematography and a story that manages to be emotionally resonate despite its familiarity.
Huo never quite finds the filmic vocabulary to tilt the film toward greatness-and the mawkish synth score does little to help-but Postmen In The Mountains ultimately succeeds.
It's a simple tale of father-and-son bonding that director Huo Jianqi injects with a quiet power, and it benefits greatly from the gorgeous lushness of its backdrop.
Too slim to make much impression outside fests, this nevertheless reps another solid outing by former art director Huo Jianqi.
The movie's studied tranquillity will appeal to some, though its embrace of traditional village life struck me as self-satisfied to the point of smugness.
The notion that every generation is fundamentally the same gets hammered home so relentlessly that it becomes suffocating, despite all the fresh air.

Originally written on Fox Sports West | Last updated 12/8/12
TORONTO (AP) -- Union chief Donald Fehr is sticking to his story that a deal with the NHL to end the four-month lockout was close before talks suddenly broke off this week. The NHL Players' Association executive director repeated earlier remarks that an agreement appeared to be within reach Thursday night when the league rejected the union's latest proposal and rescinded its own. "My comments from a couple of days ago stand on their own. I think we were very close," Fehr told reporters Saturday after addressing a Canadian Auto Workers council meeting. Fehr's comments run contrary to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, who said angrily Thursday he didn't think the owners and players were close to a deal and didn't know why Fehr claimed otherwise. Fehr said he hasn't spoken directly with Bettman or deputy commissioner Bill Daly since talks crumbled, adding there has been some minor chatter between the sides, but that no future meetings have been scheduled. "So far they have not indica...

About MeHi guys!
I'm an alternative model/artist from the north of Germany with a passion for fantasy, gothic, fairy-tales, burlesque and pin-up but I'm also interested in fashion (not only alternative) and beauty – though even there I prefer a kind of flamboyance :)
I'm easy to work with, experienced, creative and polite. I plan my sets, I'm well prepared and usually do my hair and make-up myself (if not stated otherwise under the photo). I have a full shooting-wardrobe and if needed I can do some accessories and outfits myself, too.
I'm willing to do shoots all over the world, though due to being a University student, I can't pay any high travelling- and hotel costs. Paid shoots are welcome, in some cases I do TfP, too – just persuade me :)
I'm available for fashion shows, too. I've done some shows already, one of them at Berlin Fashion Week 2013.
I'm doing Latex shoots as well but only in fashion-like ways. No nudes, no fetish!
For more about me, please visit my FB-fanpage, my DeviantArt gallery or my Blog :)
If there are any questions or if you are interested in working with me, just feel free to message me :)

Luxury Urban Condo Near DC Attractions & Golfing
Aug 04, 2007 01:20 pm
We were here a few weeks ago and the owner is FABULOUS. Everything was of top quality, exceeded our expectations and just as described in her ad. We loved the Metro Center parking and the little added perks we got for free. If we had stayed at a hotel I know we would have been charged for every little thing, but this owner made life so easy for us for no charge, she's a rare gem. We have stayed at other vacation rentals around the country and NEVER have we had such a pleasant and warm experience. We are from a small town in Michigan and had no trouble with this cute little urban condo. Everything was really top-notch. It was exactly what we needed, so convenient to everything, and I HIGHLY recommend it to others and will stay again any other time I am in the DC area. It's really worth it.

When creating images for the Web, you have to observe certain rules and best practices. First, the images have to be physically small, rarely larger than a few hundred pixels in either dimension. Print size by the way is irrelevant. The images can't have layers or other excess data. You are permitted just three file formats, JPEG, GIFF and PNG, and if you want your colors to survive with any degree of accuracy, the color space should be set to sRGB. Fortunately, the Save for Web and Devices command takes care of most of these issues for you.
It flattens the file, removes the excess, keeps copyright and other important metadata, directs you to the proper formats and converts the image to sRGB. All you have to do is scale the image, which is often times better performed before choosing Save for Web than after. I demonstrate each and every step in the process as well as provide guidance for which file format to use when, in the following exercises.

31 year old woman | Round Rock, TX, USA | Seeking women 26-34 within 20 miles
If anyone loves a smart ass, I'm your girl. I would date you so hard and cuddle the shit out of you.
I don't really know what to say on these things. It would just be easier to have someone else do it for me. Hmmm... Let's see. I am such a contradiction sometimes. I can be very outgoing and very shy at other times. It just depends on my mood. When it comes to dealing with girls, I am that shy lovable dork, which is not normally like me, because most of the time I am a very confident person. I just don't really know how to approach women that well. If I can say anything to embarrass myself, I most likely will. I am not a smooth talker by any means. I am always down for meeting new people and learning new things. I am very open minded and open to new things in life. I love to work out and be outdoors ( as long as the weather is nice). I want to be more active, I just would like to have someone to do things with. I would love to make new friends. I don't know if anything more than friends will happen, but I'm open to that as well.I would like to meet someone who likes to try new things. I want someone who knows how to enjoy the simple things in life.

I think popular music is trash and I get my fill of it by working in a club. Some of my favorite bands are the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Nico Vega, Gossip, and Tegan and Sara. I try to listen to stuff that is chill, but I like it all.
I love going to concerts. I don't really care what type of music it is. I just love the atmosphere. Although, being an audio student makes the experience a little different for me. I can't just enjoy the show. I start breaking it down in my mind.

How should we reform the health care system in the U.S. in which all citizens are stakeholders? The U.S. takes pride in being the best in many ways, but by many measures of health outcome categories, it ranks well below nearly all developed countries. Not only does the U.S. score badly in the quality of healthcare outcomes, it is off the charts for dollars spent for healthcare services.
I think that the government of the people, for the people and by the people should affirm the ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We fail to adequately affirm life when our mortality statistics, for youth and adults, exceed those of so many other countries. Our individual liberty is inadequately affirmed when perhaps the majority of Americans sell their souls to a company that is providing healthcare insurance. And how would nearly everyone who has gone bankrupt to get necessary medical diagnostics and treatments assess their ability to pursue happiness?
President Obama has articulated a vision for health care reform that I think includes necessary features. Cost is primary. Without cost containment, the U.S. will need life-support from the global economy and younger generations of Americans will suffer from a downward spiral begun by their elders.

Rockwool for hearth insulation
I am new to this forum and starting my WFO build.
I would like to know if this can be used for hearth insulation http://www.knaufinsulation-process-s...eb-1213-UK.pdf
it is rated up to 700 C / 1300 F
Thanks, Gorazd
Re: Rockwool for hearth insulation
Rock wool is not quite as good an insulator as calcium silicate board, but it's cheaper.i've used rock wool blanket but it has the reputation of being extremely water absorbent, although I notice your product claims to be water resistant, they probably have treated it with something. The main thing I'd be concerned about is its strength. Will it be strong enough to withstand the weight of an oven built on top of it without compressing?
Most builders go for calcium silicate board under the floor or if you want a cheaper way of doing it cast your own vermicrete slab using a 5:1 ratio.vermiculite, cement.
Re: Rockwool for hearth insulation
I haven't seen rock wool insulation that comes in boards. I could only find rock wool blankets. Good for you to find one. I agree with david s. I think that Vermiculite or Perlite in the ratio 5:1 with cement would be cheaper and better than the rock wool board. I even had several weeks delay in my build looking for hearth insulation. If I find one I'll be done in a week or two.
Re: Rockwool for hearth insulation
Thanks for your inputs. I finaly found some specs about load bearing properties and it is not going to work. High temp board has compression strength of only 250Pa, normal rockwool board is 2MPa.

Distinctive 1794 Dollar, Fine15, Ex: Cornelius Vermeule Collection1794 $1 Fine 15 PCGS. B-1, BB-1. This is an unmistakable 1794 Dollar. It has a prominent pedigree marker that is impossible to miss. It appears that a piece of bent wire, approximately 10 mm. long, that starts in the middle of Liberty's neck and terminates in the field just below the neck, fell between the die and the blank planchet, leaving a distinctive impression on the finished coin. This coin was unknown to the late Jack Collins. Jack spent decades researching 1794 Dollars and tracing their pedigrees. However, this coin has remained, until recently, in the collection of Cornelius Vermeule, noted author of Numismatic Art in America. It was purchased by Vermeule from Norman Stack in the late 1960s, while Mr. Vermeule was researching coin types with Mr. Stack for his landmark book.
The story of the 1794 is well known, but it always bears repeating. Only 1,758 pieces were struck, and it is believed that probably somewhere around 130 coins are extant today. Shortly after the first couple of pieces were struck, the dies slipped out of alignment, causing the date and first few stars on the left to be weakly defined (as well as the corresponding area on the reverse). This is especially noticeable on this piece, the weak definition from misaligned dies being coupled with considerable wear, causing just the tops of the digits in the date to be discernible. The surfaces are light gray overall with deeper gray accents in the recesses of the design and around the obverse periphery. Numerous small abrasions are scattered over each side, but none are worthy of individual mention.
Ex: Cornelius Vermeule Collection (Stack's, 9/01), lot 414, where it realized $17,250. (NGC ID# 24WY, PCGS# 6851)

One of my friends said he likes having a blow job better than having sex, and I was wondering if it was just him or everyone.
Most Helpful Opinion
Oh, when I dated I had two girls (separately,) who just wanted to please me. I suppose the first girl (an older woman,) started me off. She got between my legs and just spent the night there. Doing me again and again. I sat up, when we started she had put pillows on the floor next to her bed, for her.
This is what happened the first time we went out, (to her home.) And it got better and better.
The guy she had been going out with broke up with her and as a parting favor she asked him to set her up with me.
So, for me college became one selfish experience after another. The second girl was a nurse. And, trust me on this, most men have no idea what nurses can do!
I didn't even realize that some women don't like swallowing until I was 28 or 29.
But on this subject I have a couple of things to share, relationship wise.
Vaginal sex is much better for one reason, it promotes real bonding. Closeness. You care about your partner. Feelings happen. Love happens. People get married and have kids who have wonderful lives and great parents.
And this just isn't the case with oral sex. Not saying I didn't enjoy it. I did very much! (Are you kidding!, every man does!, me especially.)
But if you want to love her, if you want her to love you, if you to be happy and fulfilled in thirty years, sorry, but blowjobs have to wait until the relationship is like cement, you have to know her last name, you have to love her, you have to have met her parents and she yours.
What Guys Said 23
I prefer sex. Hell, I don't know maybe I'm the only guy, but I would rather eat my girl out then have her give me a blowjob. Although with this being said, a blowjob still feels amazing.
we must be the only guys that prefer eating a girl out than getting a bj
haha probably.
Well, I prefer eating my girl too, but she should be shaved :)
I certainly love bj's but I wouldn't say more than sex. I could have a few bj's a day but I ALMOST always like to finish INSIDE my lady! I do enjoy finishing with a BJ as well... If the lady knows what she's doin. There's nothing worse than messing up a good orgasm by not finishing the job right! The only way I could see someone actually prefering a BJ over actual sex is if they've just never had a good partner in bed!
Blow jobs are awesome if she knows how to do it. Unfortunately my girl tries but it's just so-so. So, I prefer sex with her but man, it'd be awesome if she learned how (I try to give direction but its just one of those things you kinda have to have a talent for, I think plus she gets mad if I tell her what to do)! I give her awesome oral she says, so its uneven. :-(

Carefully sourced, meticulously prepared fish and seafood take center stage at this well-pedigreed restaurant. Large picture windows in the dining room offer expansive views of Central Park South, and silver-dipped shells on pedestals decorate the dining room. No expense is spared in importing the very best of the ocean's bounty, beginning with raw crudo dishes—think scallops with orange, wild fennel, and arugula—that is becoming the restaurant's signature. You'd be remiss, though, if you skipped the pastas that made chef Michael White famous. They're served here in lusty iterations like rich fusilli with octopus and bone marrow and spaghetti with sea urchin. Whole fish like roasted turbot and salt-baked snapper are equally showstopping. Service is flawless.

By fluffnfold
Oct 31, 2011
My spouse and I had first heard of Marea from a friend of ours who lives in the city (it's the favorite Manhattan restaurant of our friend). Then we started to read about the restaurant in various magazines and online forums, and when we saw it highlighted on an episode of Top Chef and learned about the amazing ricci appetizer, we really wanted to go. We made a reservation for a prime time, 8:00 on a Saturday evening in early October 2011, using
Open Table. The restaurant atmosphere is very comfortable, with the main dining room sunken a few steps from the street level. Restrooms are on the basement level, and I didn't see any provisions made for someone who is handicapped, although I'm sure there was some other alternative available. Jackets are ties are not mandatory for men, however, many men were wearing one or the other. There is a large bar area should you arrive early and want to have a drink while you wait for your table. The tables are fairly close together in the dining room, yet we didn't feel uncomfortable or as if we had to whisper for fear of being overhead by the nearest tables. Service was efficient but not overbearing. We didn't care for the bread service – we prefer using butter on our bread to dipping it in or spreading it with olive oil (however fine that olive oil may be), but the food was excellent otherwise. The amuse-bouche was a "shooter" glass of tasty pea soup. We each chose the 4-course prix fixe option, which I believe was priced in the $90 range. We shared the signature appetizer dish, ricci (which is a crostini topped with sea urchin uni topped with somewhat liquified lardo), which is served for the table, not per person. It was priced at $15 for the table; I'm not sure what happens when you have four or six companions; I would think the price would be incremental but nothing was stated as such. I had a crudo tasting as my appetizer (even though there was a supplemental charge of $6), allowing the chef to choose the three dishes (but you could have chosen on your own, too). Allowing the chef to choose for me was the wisest choice that I made all evening - the quality of the fish was superb, and the garnish/accompaniments were perfect! Left to my own devices for the pasta course and the entrée, I probably could have chosen more adventurously. The Marea menu is so extensive, that it quickly became evident that I should have done a bit of research prior to my visit. I'm not a frequent eater of fish (I didn't even realize that I liked fish until I dined at Le Bernardin a few years ago!), so some of the menu items and ingredients were unfamiliar to me. I chose a risotto dish with mushrooms and Romano cheese, followed by the capesante (scallop) entree. I found the cheese to be overpowering in the risotto, and although the entree was tasty, I though some components (figs and eggplant with olives, I believe) were overwhelming and I wasn't completely sure how the ingredients worked together. I'm not a food expert, but I do cook, read cookbooks and food magazines, watch a lot of food-related TV shows, and of course, I like fine dining – my favorite restaurants are Per Se, Momofuku Ko, The French Laundry, Alinea, so I like to think I know a little about food, but like I said, I didn't see how the components in the scallop dish related. My spouse's choices were much more adventurous. and thus, much more successful - I preferred his pasta course (fusilli with octopus and bone marrow) and entree course (halibut) to mine (he also had the oyster tasting, which I didn't sample). Dessert for my spouse was the cheese tasting (which was great) and for me, the panna cotta at the recommendation of the waiter, which was superb. It is clear to me that when I relied on the chef and the waiter to choose dishes for me, the results were excellent and different than when I made some "safe" choices on my own. The bill was delivered with some tasty mignardises, which was a nice, sweet way to end the meal. Overall, we had a great meal at Marea: the food was tasty, the total bill didn't break the bank (unlike some of those other restaurants that I mentioned), and it the restaurant is somewhere that diners can return to more often than those other restaurants because of the extensive menu and numerous choices. A delicious meal in comfortable surroundings!

Active, Adventurous And Hoping You Are Too!
My friends would best describe me as a cheerful, mature, and grounded person who is easy-going yet confident, honest, and loyal. I am someone who is family-oriented but nonetheless independent. And as you can see from the profile pictures, I'm also someone who takes beautiful to another level! Just kidding, but I have a sense of humor and I would prefer you do as well. I do enjoy leading an active lifestyle. I am a runner and always make time to run every morning. I also push myself and compete in marathons frequently. Hiking and traveling to destinations near and far also make it to the top of my favorite activities list. Moreover, whether it's a top restaurant or just staying in and cooking a new recipe at home, I enjoy fine dining. I like all kinds of cuisines as long as its healthy; I'm not picky that way. In fact, I'm pretty adventurous and am always willing to try new things. I'm also proud to say I have a creative side: I'm good at painting - I've even had my own painting exhibition in the past! I enjoy watching the Food Network or HGTV. You and I'll get along if some of your favorite shows include Chopped, Restaurant Impossible, Sweet Genius, Restaurant Stakeout, Property Brothers, Love it or List it, and Cousins on Call. I am a medical doctor and currently in practice. Ideally, you are of Indian ethnicity, between the ages of 39-45, are well-educated and settled in your professional life, independent, and lead an active lifestyle. I'm attracted to men who are genuine, caring, and can make me laugh. If you're looking for a professional but fun woman who will brighten your life and you think we have a lot in common, I hope you send me a message.

Re: My Trek Through Enterprise
Too bad for Trip. It's never nice to meet your childhood idol and then find it's not what you would have expected. That's pretty disappointing. And to boot, I'm not sure about this guy's morals or ethics. I almost feel sorry for his daughter, but she's going to need to stand up against him. The more I know about him, the more I dislike him. His intentions may have been good, but I don't like his methods. I'm not sure about Archer's support, either, but I guess... At least he got his son back.

The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.

Our History:
1972 Mark Pappas bought Wargo's Steak House, lounge, stag
bar and liquor store. Mr.
Pappas brought with him a vision for a diverse restaurant
menu including a variety of Italian specialties and a
selection of fresh seafood entrees including his famous
recipe for Maryland crab cake.
Mr. Pappas also re-organized the
old stag bar into a well-balanced sports bar, refurbished
the restaurant lounge, enlarged the liquor store, built a
pit beef and carry out window, and created Pappas Catering
on the second floor. It was not until seven years later that
Mr. Pappas officially changed the name of his business to
Pappas. Today, Pappas has become an integral part of a
Baltimorean tradition. Mouthwatering food, great drinks,
excellent service and reasonable prices have become the
cornerstone of our success. Located in Parkville, Maryland,
one-and-a-half miles off I-695 beltway (Exit 30-A), Pappas
is located on the corner of Taylor Avenue and Oakley Road.
So, plan your next party or dinner outing at a place 100%
handicap accessible and discover Pappas' charm for yourself!

There are excruciatingly detailed licensing requirements, quirky problems that real restaurants don't have -- like sloping counters when you park on a hill -- and the challenges of staying open in winter. ...

Man you are so unsure... You're far from being able to do a design properly right now cause i can clearly see you're not working with shapes and forms and you're not able to see and draw things in 3 dimensions.
I guess you have to study a lot silhouettes, 3d drawing and design first but if you want to show your work be sure to polish it, all those lines you made for defining the shape of your character are disturbing the design itself cause they are nervous strokes and obviously when we see this thing like this we are subject to this factor.
Here is how you do it, if there's something else i can do for helping you let me know

Great feedback from Hitsu//San. It looks as if you've created the head as a three dimensional object, but failed to do so with the rest of the object.


text: GamesBeat EA kills its controversial Online Pass program May 15, 2013 4:17 PM Jason Wilson 0 Gaming is in its golden age, and big and small players alike are maneuvering like kings and queens in A Game of Thrones. Register now for our GamesBeat 2015 event, Oct. 12-Oct.13, where we'll explore strategies in the new world of gaming. EA is doing away with its Online Pass program from this point forward, a decision the video game publisher says is partially based on player response. "Yes, we're discontinuing Online Pass," EA senior director of corporate communications John Reseburg confirmed to GamesBeat in an e-mail. "None of our new EA titles will include that feature." The modern military first-person shooter Battlefield 3 and a number of other EA games such as Madden NFL use Online Pass. You need it in order to play many of a game's online features, including multiplayer. A code activates the Pass, which has a one-time use. You need a new code (which the publisher offers, of course, for a fee) if you're playing the game on another console or if you bought the software used and the original owner redeemed the original. But players never embraced this feature. "Initially launched as an effort to package a full menu of online content and services, many players didn't respond to the format," Reseburg said. "We've listened to the feedback and decided to do away with it moving forward." Online Pass is seen by publishers as a bulwark against the second-hand market, which retailer GameStop dominates. Publishers were worried that consumers were buying games used instead of new — especially big games with popular multiplayer modes. So the online pass became a way that publishers forced consumers to either buy a game new — or pay extra for online. But from this point forward, you won't need an Online Pass for any of EA's games online. "We're still committed to creating content and services that enhance the game experience well beyond the day you first start playing," Reseburg said. EA wasn't the only publisher using an online pass system. Activision and Ubisoft are among a handful that make use of it.

Call NOW!
Tuesday, February 24, 2015
When things go bad all you need to do is pick up the phone and CALL. Or so lawyers like Saul on AMC's new series tells us. Since the US Supreme Court allowed lawyers to advertise in the 1970s, practices like these have skyrocketed, with often shoddily-produced results. Are tacky lawyer ads trashing the profession or simply making it more easily accessible to those who might not otherwise know who to call when they need an attorney?
The Diaper Wars

In the 1980's, the world's two largest diaper companies set out to destroy each other, in a patent battle known as the Diaper Wars. The court battles lasted seven years and cost millions of dollars. What did we get out of it? Better diapers -- and one very messy lesson in patent law.

One Conjugal Visit
Tuesday, December 02, 2014
How long would your relationship last without a kiss or more than a kiss? In America, only three states allow prisoners and their spouses or domestic partners to have extended family visits, also known as conjugal visits or on the inside, "booty calls." It's a place and time where couples can have privacy and they can have legally sanctioned sex. This is the story of one couple and the 48-hour conjugal visit they share once a month inside San Quentin State Prison.

There Oughta Be A Law
Tuesday, October 21, 2014
In Tennessee, it's illegal for grocery stores to sell wine, but perfectly legal for passengers to ride in cars and drink alcohol. At the state level, legislators have fought for years over how (or whether) to rework these two rules. And there's no question that the federal government wants states like Tennessee to pass tougher open container laws that would put a stop to drinking in cars all together. The hope is stricter laws would prevent costly accidents, and even deaths. As bait, the federal government offers millions of dollars in funding that states can use to fund transportation projects and new jobs. But, unlike most states, Tennessee has yet to bite, instead choosing to allow its residents the right to crack open a cold frosty one from the passenger seat. So what is it with these local laws that don't seem to make sense? It turns out the process of making a laws isn't always as logical as might think.
In The Name Of The Father

Re: live-actionTV "Star Wars: Underworld" -Info, Pics, Rumors, Casting
It would make sense for Disney to release a
Star Wars
live action series on ABC, ABC Family or A&E first, and then Netflix streaming after X amount of time, to avoid cannibalization. That way, the audience that wants to see the show immediately (with ads) can do so, and anyone who prefers no-ad streaming has to wait. The tradeoff is ads vs time, and everyone decides for themselves.
Of course I'm not counting DVR timeshifting, but that's just another kind of payment since you need to subscribe to something (cable, Aereo) to do that. (If a form of DVR timeshifting exists that requires only that you buy equipment, with no further subscription expense of any kind, somebody please tell me about it!

Leyendecker, Joseph Christian:Born in Germany in 1874, Joseph Christian Leyendecker immigrated to the United States with his parents and younger brother Frank in 1882. The family settled down in Chicago, where Joseph's mother's uncle had founded a successful brewing company. There, he spent his adolescence working for an engraving firm, completing his first commercial commission of sixty Bible illustrations. Having both the financial and emotional support of his family, Leyendecker sought formal artistic training at the Chicago Art Institute, and he later studied at the Académie Julian in Paris with his brother, Frank, where he was exposed to the works of Toulouse-Lautrec, Chéret and Alphonse Mucha, a pioneer in the French Art Nouveau movement. Returning to Illinois in 1899, J.C. received his first commission for a Saturday Evening Post cover—the catalyst for what developed into his forty-four year relationship with the most popular magazine in the country. The collaboration would ultimately produce over 300 cover illustrations, many of which transformed household traditions and became iconic visual images, such as his New Year Baby series and his portrayal of Santa Claus as a fat jolly man in a big red suit. The custom of giving flowers as a gift on Mother's Day even originated from Leyendecker's May 30, 1915 Saturday Evening Post cover, which depicts a young bellhop with hyacinths. What made Leyendecker such a monumental artist, aside from his unrivaled draftsmanship, was his ability to draw upon common aspects of the era's culture—from how men wore their suits to how they served their country—and turn them into a narrative that captivated his audience. Joseph Christian Leyendecker's work so artfully captures the essence of his time, and yet his characters and compositions remain remarkably timeless.

Whoever ends up buying the Texas Rangers must make extending the contract of GM Jon Daniels their number one priority before the ink of the signature dries on the paperwork.
The work Daniels and his staff have done in July have vaulted the Rangers from a possible contender for a playoff spot to a World Series contender and they did so despite the ongoing bankruptcy saga.
Everything this team needed at the deadline Daniels was able to add from ace Cliff Lee to infield depth with Christian Guzman.
Not to mention the trade of Jarrod Saltalamacchia to the Red Sox for three prospects and cash to reload an already stacked farm system.
How Daniels was able to get three players and cash for a catcher with the yips I'll never know, but he did it.
Now for the four players the Rangers added to the 25 man roster and their impact on the AL West race.
Cliff Lee
We all knew Cliff Lee was going to be a difference maker on the mound but his influence on the young arms in the Rangers rotation has been the most significant development.
Tommy Hunter and CJ Wilson have watched and apparently learned how to pitch more efficiently as each has started to rely on their fastball more than their breaking pitches.
The result? Fewer walks, quicker innings and a much more rested bullpen.
Jorge Cantu
The Rangers have had a huge hole at first base for the entire season causing all kinds of issues for the bottom of the Rangers batting order.
It took some time but Daniels was finally able to address that hole with the addition of Jorge Cantu.
Splitting time with rookie Mitch Moreland, Cantu gives the Rangers a much needed veteran at the bottom of the order.
Bengie Molina
Bengie Molina might be the most underrated move the Rangers made this season because he brings one very important aspect to the team.
A World Series Championship.
Molina is not only an improvement defensively and a small improvement with the bat, but he also knows how to get his pitchers through a pennant race.
The Rangers needed that kind of influence for their young pitchers dealing with the pressure of a playoff push for the first time in their careers.
Christian Guzman
Guzman wasn't a need until right before the deadline when Ian Kinsler hit the DL with a groin strain.
With Kinsler expected to return in mid-August, Guzman is a nice addition to not only fill in at second, but he'll also be an upgrade for the Rangers bench when Kinsler does return.
All of these moves were just the latest in a string of incredible moves for the Rangers GM.
Since the deadline deals in 2007 Jon Daniels has owned the trade deadline each year. Making deals no one in the game thought the Rangers would be able to pull off, especially over the past two years having little money to work with.
Now Daniels can sit back and hope the team he built can make a run for something special.
If they do, Daniels better be first in line for the champagne shower because without him, the Rangers are not in this position.

Egypt in the Crosshairs
5:04 PM, Jan 25, 2008 • By BILL ROGGIO
The Hamas regime in Gaza scored a political coup when it destroyed the hated border wall that separated the Palestinian territory from Egypt. Established by the Israelis to halt the flow of weapons into Gaza, the wall stood as a symbol of Israeli occupation. Hamas did what Yasser Arafat, the PLO, and the Palestinian Authority never could, and even Fatah members were quoted praising Hamas for the achievement.
But the destruction of the southern border wall between Egypt and Gaza threatens more than just the security of Israel, says Aaron Mannes at his blog Terror Wonk. While the Israelis have expressed some concern that the opening of the border will open the flow of weapons used against the Israeli state (this concern is tempered by the relative ease with which munitions had already flowed into the strip), the state of Egypt is now open to multiple terror threats:
Read the entire post at the Terror Wonk for more on the developing threat to Egypt. Egypt appears to be waking up to this reality and has begun to reseal the border. But will the Mubarak regime have the political will to crack down on Hamas and the Palestinians, keep the border closed, and police it as carefully as the Israelis had done?

Joe Maddon sought some assistance in devising his lineup for Wednesday night's game against the New York Yankees, so the Tampa Bay Rays manager walked from his team's hotel in Times Square to St. Patrick's Cathedral. Maddon said he sat in the back for his late-morning visit. ''I was looking for inspiration,'' he said. ''I saw St. Jude - don't know how good he is with the hit and run. Was a pretty good defender.'' St. Jude is considered the patron saint of hopeless cases. Maddon lit a candle, but not specifically for the Rays. ''For general purposes,'' he said. Maddon didn't start outfielder Desmond Jennings (tight left hamstring) and shortstop Yunel Escobar (sore left ankle), and he had Delmon Young at designated hitter instead of Luke Scott. Maddon said he was concerned the Yankees would take out starter Phil Hughes early and bring in a left-hander. Closing in on its fourth postseason berth in six years, Tampa Bay began the day with a one-game lead over Cleveland in the AL ...

I've demanded .NET 3.5 SP1 a la http://stackoverflow.com/questions/88136/will-a-vs2008-setup-project-update-net-3-5-sp1. This makes the setup.exe check correctly.
I've also added a "SP1" launch condition to my MSI so it doesn't let the user install my .NET 3.5SP1 app via launching the MSI (and replaced the
[VSDNETMSG] in the Framework condition message with one that actually mentions SP1).
From a future proofing point of view, this feels wrong. I want the condition to be:
(NETVer=3.5 AND Net35SPLevel=1) OR (NETVer=>3.5)
(NETVer=3.5 AND Net35SPLevel=1)
Is there any way to do that? The framework check doesnt have a condition property to allow me to add a sub-condition...
Yes, I could also just not worry my pretty little head about it :P
If one of the MS versioning experts out there reads this, if you're going to put stuff that code depends on into SPs, can you please make the installer be able to check for it OOTB.
(I really wish they had come up with a better numbering scheme - the world and its dog could see that this was going to get confusing)
