intolerant? A: Yes they can. I'm not sure where the whole
"Norman Rockwell-like" idea of cute pictures of cats with bowls
of milk came from, but water is much better for the feline than
milk. what happens -- for animals and people alike -- is that
when we are born, we have an enzyme that allows us to digest the
lactose that is in our mother's milk. As we grow, the enzyme
decreases in our systems because we are weaned from our moms and
begin to eat and digest actual food. The more of that enzyme we
lose, the harder and harder it is for us to comfortably digest
the lactose in the milk -- hence people and animals can become
lactose intolerant. Young felines such as Ella have arrived in
large numbers at the shelter. For people who are lactose

"annoying slut." It's an interesting time in her career to say
the least. And even though she doesn't have anything to

She's flipping us off! So edgy, Miley... Oh look! She's
twerking! Someone, give her her adult card! Smoking? Man,
that's so risque and hardcore! A crooked face. That probably

-1.983182 | -0.88263 | 10 | Send to a Friend PhiNotPi's avatar How large of an impact
would an "alternative voting system" have on US politics? Asked
by PhiNotPi (12355 points ) April 15th, 2014 The overwhelming
majority of elections in the US use the plurality voting system
(also called first-past-the-post). Each voter casts a vote for a
single candidate, and the candidate with the most votes wins.
Despite its simplicity and ease of use, plurality voting is not
ideal. One major problem is the spoiler effect, which can cause
undesirable candidates to win because third parties split the
vote. For those interested in the specifics, here is a table of
many voting systems and their properties. It has also been
theorized that plurality voting favors a two-party system of
government. There are a few countries which have implemented
alternative voting systems, which attempt to eliminate the
problems with plurality voting. Australia and India use instant-
runoff voting, which eliminates the spoiler effect. Some

1/23/13 10:47am Hi, Pamela, Can you think of anything new
that could be triggering these Migraines? Were all five in
different places? That's a bit unusual, if you're talking about
specific spots as opposed to changing from one side of your head
to the other. Our Migraine patterns can change over time, BUT
since you hadn't had any Migraines for so long, it's important
to talk with your doctor about these. There are other conditions
that have many of the same symptoms as Migraine, so it's
important to be sure there's nothing else going on that needs
treatment. Would you please keep us posted? 1/17/13 1:48pm

A new study shows toxins could be in that water. 11Alive News
caught up with Sue Anthony unloading her minivan at Piedmont
Park. At her household, the hose water is already off limits.
"My mother told me about the study that said it's poisonous now
to drink out of the hose because of the lead," she said. The
study she's talking about it from the Ecology Center out of Ann
Arbor, Michigan. They tested garden tools, including hoses and
hose water. Here's what they found: *70% of hoses had chemical
levels of "high concern" *30% contained lead over 100 ppm, the
standard for children's toys *BPA levels in the hose water
were 20 times higher than the level considered safe in drinking

Abstract Economists ignore everything about the evolution of
machines. They do not even use biological terms to define them.
So we talk about machines as abstract, dead species. If we were
using vital terms, perhaps we would be more aware, of the
organic nature of economic ecosystems. For example, we do not
call the sensorial instruments, such as cameras, metal-eyes, so
we do not realize what a "metal-Head" is: a Head-system that has
"metal-ears" (mobile phones), "metal-eyes" (cameras), and
"metal-brains" (chips) attached to any machine. If you put such
"Head" to any present machine, you have a robotic species, a
"metalife" species, that potentially can outperform human
beings, in all informative and energetic functions, from killing
to working, from design to chess-playing. What is the
biological name of such machine species? A |

(Discuss) There are a number of major elements that define
any Linux distribution. One of the most important is the package
management philosophy or system that the distribution embraces.
For example, we can categorize distributions designed around RPM
as Red Hat based, or we can say that Ubuntu or Knoppix are
derived from Debian because they all use APT. The package
manager found at the heart of Gentoo Linux is known as Portage.
Portage sets itself apart from nearly all other package managers
in many ways. But the most significant difference is that it's
not actually a package manager at all, but rather what's known
as a meta-distribution engine. What this means is because of the
power, flexibility, and configurability of Portage, very few
Gentoo Linux installations are ever the same. Instead of being

1,000 pages of documents condemning illegal doping by Lance
Armstrong and his teammates during his seven Tour de France
victories is yet another black eye for a sport that seems to
have a black eye permanently tattooed to its face. Santa Rosa's
Levi Leipheimer gets bruised in this one, too, which surely will
be a disappointment to his many fans in Sonoma County. But let's
remember why he has gained such popularity in these parts.
Leipheimer's success on his bike has made him one of the sport's
elite riders, but his involvement in his community is what makes
him a hometown hero. Performance-enhancing drugs didn't
convince him to do that. Still, he and the rest of those
implicated in "the most sophisticated, professionalized and
successful doping program that sport has ever seen" owe their

commonly found in a variety of foods, such as fish, shellfish,
meat, eggs, and dairy products. Vitamin B12 is frequently used
in combination with other B vitamins in a vitamin B complex
formulation. Vitamin B12 is important in DNA synthesis. Vitamin
B12 is bound to the protein in food. Acid in the stomach
releases B12 from protein during digestion. Once released, B12
combines with a substance called intrinsic factor (IF) before it
is absorbed into the bloodstream. The human body stores several
years' worth of vitamin B12 in the liver, so low levels in the
body are rare. Decreases in vitamin B12 levels are more common
in the elderly, HIV-infected persons, and vegetarians. Inability
to absorb vitamin B12 from the intestinal tract can cause a type
of anemia called pernicious anemia. Fever and symptoms of
"excessive sweating" have been reported with anemia due to low
levels of vitamin B12; however, these are fixed with vitamin B12
treatment. |

best in your industry, you have to get rid of your outdated
management style. You might not feel it day-to-day, but
business management is in a major transition. The old days of
command-and-control leadership are fading in favor of what might
be better termed a trust-and-track method, in which people are
not just told what to do, but why they are doing it. More
formally, we're moving from what was called "transactional"
leadership to "transformative" leadership. And there's no
turning back. Business owners certainly have a long way to go,
especially in more established companies where old practices die
hard. But you can see increasing evidence that by creating a
company with a clear purpose and values, you'll find your
employees connect themselves to something bigger, and that
increases productivity. In other words, a culture of engagement

Cycle Once long ago, when I was once again back in graduate
school and trying to figure out how things worked, I came across
a psychologist's theory about how artists worked. And sorry, I
can't remember his name right now, and probably the details of
his theory have evolved with time. His book was huge and fat, if
that helps. And had a blue cover. He suggested artists run on a
defined cycle of restlessness/seeking, creative spurts, and
depletion/depression. I remember this after thirty years because
it seemed to me to be spot on. First the restlessness: roaming
around, trying a dozen different things, looking for some
undefined something. Starting books and tossing them aside.

on unnecessary errands. Walking anywhere. Cleaning closets. I

has been made that if enough substrate/surface area has been
provided within a tank for bacteria to populate, then the
process of breakdown can occur naturally within the tank itself
rather than in/on a filter. I would disagree with the notion
that a freshwater tank has a higher oxygen content than a
saltwater tank. Oxygen concentration has very little to do with
dissolved substance concentration in water, it is mainly about
temperature, therefore a fresh or saltwater tank with equal flow
rates and equal temperature should have about the same
concentration of dissolved oxygen. The primary difference is in
the use of anaerobic areas within rock and substrate (often
controlled by substrate depth). Certainly in a freshwater tank
with a fine enough substrate there are anaerobic areas that
support denitrifying bacteria. I personall |

appointment with the Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon this morning.
I have been anxious about her appointment because her
Pediatrician would not give me any information about what was
wrong with her foot. She had been having severe foot pain.
Anyways, we learned that her right foot has bone malformations.
Instead of two of the bones being rounded and smooth they are
flat and jagged, and the two bones are joined together. We were
informed that such a problem would most definitely get worse if
not operated on, and could eventually stop mobility in her foot
and cause even more excruciating pain. This was hard to hear.
The doctor also mentioned Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, but she
said she was very concerned about trying to make a diagnosis
because such a thing isn't common at all in a (nearly) 4 year
old. In fact, she's never seen this problem in a child her age.

conceptualized by two enterprising young niglets from Frederick

Transmitted Diseases engaging in intergalactic urban warfare
with a variety of enemies. Signature moves included Ejaculating
on enemies, Cock Smack to the face, and Shrinking in colder
environments to evade detection. The project was eventually
scrapped due to ESRB regulations and development resumed under
Rare as a new title dubbed "Battle Toads" Rare bought the
rights to develop what remained of the game, changed the name to
Battle Toads and made the heros into loveable teenage frogs
named after skin conditions, Rash, Zitz, and Pimple. Man, Battle

or not we go off the Fiscal Cliff, the unemployment rate will

we reach a deal, the rate will rise to 8.4%, but then have a
larger rise several months later, as we will reach a new Fiscal
Cliff and debt ceiling debate. The unemployment rate will have
this general rise because of the fiscal and monetary policies
coming out of the White House. 2. Hillary Clinton Hillary

she had food poisoning. Then, an illness confining her to her

The record heat wave that would produce a game-time temperature

"Excerpt from the Hussman Funds' Weekly Market Comment
(7/30/12):" The enthusiasm of investors about central-bank
interventions has reached a pitch that is already well-reflected
in market prices, and a level of confidence that with little
doubt, investors will ultimately regret. In the face of this
enthusiasm, one almost wonders why nations across the world and
throughout recorded history have ever had to deal with economic
recessions or fluctuations in the financial markets. The
current, widely-embraced message is that there is no such thing
as an economic problem, and no such thing as risk. Bernanke,
Draghi and other central bankers have finally figured it out,
and now, as a result, economic recessions and market downturns
never have to happen again. They just won’t allow it, printing
more money will solve everything, and that’s all that any of us
need to understand. And if it does |
-1.899857 | 4.091237 | 61 | Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) president B.S. Gnanadesikan
has criticised Chief Minister Jayalalithaa for condemning the
hike in price of petrol. In a statement here, he wondered how
the Chief Minister who had attributed her decision to raise the
electricity tariff to the loss suffered by the Tamil Nadu
Generation and Distribution Corporation, refused to accept that
the petrol price hike was because of the huge losses suffered by
the oil marketing companies (OMCs) because of the highly-
subsidised petroleum products. Mr. Gnandesikan, who conceded
that the petrol price hike had hurt the people, especially the
two-wheeler and autorickshaw users, pointed out that the import
of crude at $ 117 per barrel had been causing huge losses to the
oil marketing companies that had to import as much as 80 per
cent of the country's total requirement. There was a vast gap
between the procurement price and the selling price of various
petroleum products. The government had to foot a subsidy bill
of Rs. 14 per litre an |

3.733516 | 2.554601 | 5 | Tom Cruise: A History of Implausible Sex Scenes Tuesday,
September 20 by The Firm This is as close as we could get to
Mitch McDeere having sex. This scene, in which Tom Cruise’s
Mitch McDeere makes love to a prostitute planted on the beach is
more than a little unrealistic, if only because WHO THE HELL
SLEEPS WITH A CARIBBEAN STRANGER ON THE BEACH WITH NO CONDOM? I
don’t care how much rum he threw back, there’s a clear line, and
that line is drawn at “hot girls getting beaten up on the beach
then suddenly jumping a stranger’s bones.” They should do a
sequel that opens up with Mitch McDeere having to explain to his
wife that not only was he unfaithful, but she might, just to be
safe, get tested, because Mitch may or may not have something
called Caribbean SuperHerpes, which is no walk in the park.
Also, in the book, McDeere never tells his wife about the tryst,
which is WAY more believable. Eyes Wide Shut [We can’t post
the clip because it features Nicole Kidman’s breasts, but if you
