generally amazon for hard copies , i don ' t live close to any high - street retailers . also , the kindle store actually has some pretty decent free ebooks and i borrow from friends if it ' s something i don ' t have but really want to read or if they give a strong recommendation , but i ' m too poor to buy it outright .

crackle is china glaze ' s " crushed candy " , underlayer is revlon ' s " black lingerie " . it was a great way to cover up a failed attempt at matte / glaze taping , and though it ' s hard to tell from the webcam shot , it looks kinda like stone turquoise in person . i think a lot of why i didn ' t like crackle when i ' d seen it in person on other people is because i didn ' t like the way people wore it and / or it looked really sloppy , but a couple of layers of clear coat helped a lot with the sloppy part , and the rest is color choice and making sure your nails don ' t completely mismatch what you ' re wearing . i don ' t think matching nails with outfits is necessary , but it definitely helps make both your nails and outfit look way more awesome .

you have to act like you ' ve been there before . like you know exactly what the context is and where it can possibly head . be calm and secure and don ' t react like a child on christmas . play into that frame and work it confidently , like its nothing and you know what the fuck you are doing . but , if you have to shift into actor mode , she ' ll see right through it . just relax , the vibe is sexual , and work naturally toward that end .

the issue of stadiums not having an overall net positive is viewed from the lens of a new area with no current stadium getting one . no offense but this is completely inaccurate . stadium subsidizing has been in existence since the 1960 ' s in the us and canada . we have a lot of data to work with . please google economists brad humphreys and / or dennis coates . they worked with decades of data sets from major metro areas such as new york , cleveland , and cincinnati . their conclusions , like all conclusions based on something that is incredibly difficult to put in a tangible sense , is cloudy to negative . and if the team were to leave it would end up being a net negative in relation to the new stadium deal . you understand this is an incredibly lofty claim , right ? i have a feeling that at this point you ' re speculating based on personal bias . do you have some solid numbers to back up claims like this ? once again - i feel i need to throw out the fact that i want the vikes to stay , but as someone with a career and education with economics i ' m seeing a lot of hot air being thrown around as if fact simply because people want it to be true . from a professional economists point of view , public stadium financing being beneficial to a city and state is tenuous in a best case scenario - and a complete myth in a worse case one . what makes a city and obviously a state vibrant and financially relevant in a modern first world setting is it ' s ability to court business that provides for a plethora of stable careers and a product that will always be in demand . a $ 550 million dollar investment into a sports franchise is the antithesis of that line of thought . the amount of full time careers coupled with the product output of the minnesota vikings is minimal . a lot of merchandise and ad revenue will be sold - but a very small fraction of that will actually go back to the city of minneapolis , the state of minnesota , and her citizenry . by contrast take for example the incredibly small taxation we have of the bio - medical field coupled with public funding of post secondary education in that category . that has made minnesota a highly valuable place to house one ' s biomed business . boston sci being an east coast company has a major campus here . medtronic ' s main campus and entire business is based here . the mayo clinic is one of the leading medical institutes in the world . those type of investments provide minnesota with a product , careers , and revenue . unfortunately the vikings seem to merely provide us with distraction , a number of part time seasonal jobs , and polarized denizens . though i do truly hope you can prove me wrong or point me in a more pragmatic direction with some numbers to back it up so i can actually support this measure with good conscience .

& iirc we didn ' t die in our thirties ( you said this somewhere else ) , it ' s just that many more people died before they reached adulthood and that skews the average life expectancy . i know how average life expectancy works and childbirth deaths and childhood diseases greatly effected that . but it was a much more dangerous world back then . the chances of dying were higher and it was better to start young for men and for women .

the article also explains that although there were many studies done in the 80 ' s most of them were rather short term and mostly tested with animals not humans , this affects the validity of the results . so yeah , sucralose is probably safe to use for a short period of time , but who knows if you use it for years . . . also it claims that splenda has bulk additives that are carbs . . . not good for keto - ers i don ' t really trust the fda that much either .

i do not see a problem with jeers coming from opponents ( other kids ) . that is certainly part of life . getting yelled at by the coach or your own parents is part of life . but when it comes from parents of the other team it is just bullying and uncalled for . i would say by high school you should be able to handle jeers from everyone , but this appears to be a park for very young kids .

steady aim with a sniper is now useless . for accurate shots , you have to be still , not moving . and op can use specialist without selecting any other perks . although with thermal scope , a dragunov can be good . especially with scavenger . spam the trigger and get kills , and ammo - refills ? makes it too easy for op . not sure which blue perk would be completely useless for a dragunov . maybe recon ( if not the pro version ) . lol i really want to see game play footage with one of the terrible classes people have mentioned .

1 ) an enemy in the genroom is an enemy away from your and their flagstand , even if it ' s just for a while . just don ' t waste your precious time by sitting there and camping the genny . i doubt that . low level players who mindlessly run to the gen room aren ' t going to start playing the flags suddenly if you stop distracting them . they will camp the gens anyways , they ' ll deathmatch in middle , or in the rare scenario that they actually play flags they ' ll do a poor job at it or just hinder their teammates with llama - grabs and insta - returns . i personally welcome low level players , as a chaser , to try and cap my flag . i let them take it , kill them , and move the flag to a spot where it ' s practically guaranteed to sit uncontested for 30s + . a way to peel defenders off of the flagstand is to 1 ) kill the engineer on duty ( and his friend if he ' s there ) , 2 ) kill the generator , 3 ) kill the first player that comes in to try and fix the generator ( this is to ensure that more enemies will go down and check the situation out ) and lastly 4 ) gtfo ( or vvm if you prefer ) . in pub play the best way to clear the flagstand is by hitting the flag stand , period . the game is balanced for 7v7 or 8v8 , but when the number of players doubles , the size of the flag stand and number of deployables you have to deal with practically stays the same . in 7v7 , two or three lo / ho can be effective at clearing the stand . in 16v16 the stand is the same , but you have potentially twice as much firepower raining down onto it . and this honestly isn ' t so bad if you ' re dealing with close - range stand clearers , such as raiders . but when you ' re dealing with juggernauts that take 10 + seconds of travel time to even begin fighting against , and when they ' re hitting from different angles , shit gets stupid real fast . move out to kill one , and by the time you ' ve killed the next the first one is already back and has killed your hof . the average pub player won ' t even bother fighting against juggernauts for this reason . that ' s why any pub game where you see three - four jugs , the enemy defense crumbles pretty much instantly . if those juggernauts move into the generator room as infs / raiders , it ' s no problem for the defense , their hof doesn ' t have forcefields but he ' s still defending the flag just fine .

best advice : stop jungling warwick . reason # 1 : the speed he clearer the jungle is really , really slow . he is some what mana dependent almost always started at wolves / blue . this makes it really easy to invade his jungle and steal his red . reason # 2 : his ganks lvl 1 - 5 are horrible . . . he has to walk up to you with red buff to do anything . in the long run this will make you a weak jungles as you will tend to just farm the jungle thinking that you can ' t gank until level 6 . . . meanwhile faster jungles are wrecking your lanes . a level 2 or 3 gank on the top lane can single handedly win the lane if the enemy team does nothing to correct the advantage . . . you can force the enemy to blow sumonors , pots , or even cause first blood . . . not with warwick . move on to one of the following junglers : lee sin , shyvanna , uydr , mundo . all of them clear the jungle farm more faster . . and can start enemy wraiths / red for a lvl 2 or 3 gank .

are you referencing this case ? march 1998 . the u . s . supreme court today refused to hear a challenge to california ' s term limits law . the law , passed by california voters in 1990 , limits state assembly members to three two - year terms and state senators to two four - year terms , and bars lawmakers who reach the limit from ever running again . without commenting , the court refused to hear arguments by state legislators and citizens who claimed that the law violates the rights of california voters to support their chosen candidates . the appeal also argued that voters were not aware when they voted in favor of the measure that they were approving a lifetime ban . california ' s term limits law has had a complicated run through the courts . it was first challenged in federal court in april 1997 , when a judge ruled its lifetime restrictions unconstitutional . this judgment was affirmed by a three - judge panel of the 9th u . s . circuit court in oct . 1997 , but for a different reason . the panel said that the initiative approved in 1990 was unconstitutional because it did not clearly stipulate that it would impose a lifetime ban . both decisions were reversed by the full 9th circuit court in dec . 1997 , which ruled that the lifetime limits were " not severe , " and that california voters knew and fully understood what they were voting on . in refusing to hear this case , the supreme court has not ruled on the merits of california ' s term limits law , and the ruling sets no national precedent . at the same time , it is a victory for term limits supporters .

the simplest way to think about it is microsoft having a " monopoly " on the 360 . if you wanna play 360 games , you have to play it on the xbox 360 , you have to pay for xbox live to go online , etc . they have absolutely no reason to fix anything because a lot of their customer base is willing to put up with their shoddy hardware and buy multiple 360s for when one goes down . microsoft then turns that into good pr by bragging about their sales numbers . good for microsoft , bad for the consumer .

i ' m surely not accountable for [ the faults of the catholic church ] after 500 years of separation . i never said or suggested otherwise . i merely suggested that you share that history , like it or not , and that your particular branch of christianity came out of that tradition , for all its faults . most likely , you ' d have been a catholic at the times of each of these past discretions , but that ' s not especially important ; i just want protestants to stop trying to pretend they ' re that different from catholics . whether you believe in the supernatural events or not is non sequitur to the historical fact of the person . that ' s not what non sequitur means or does . if anything , bringing up the divinity or miracles attributed to christ counts as a red herring in this discussion , but even then that charge is limp , due to the fact that i explicitly stated that i have no difficulty acknowledging that any number of guys named after joshua existed in or around jerusalem in the first century ce . as i said , that ' s not a problem ; it ' s when divinity and miracles come into the picture that the problem rises , and due to the fact that those are not as easily separable as you might think from the legend of jesus , some of the stories found in the synoptics are suspect , even where they don ' t get into divinity or assert miracles . recognize that there are four different questions being asked when you wonder if i accept the historical existence of jesus : 1 . did a person with the name jesus ( yeshua , yehoshua , joshua , etc . ) exist in the early first century ce ? 2 . did a person with the name jesus and as roughly described ( sans divinity and miracle claims ) in the new testament exist in the early first century ce ? 3 . did a person with the name jesus and more or less as described in the new testament exist in the early first century ce ? 4 . did a person with the name jesus and exactly as described in the new testament exist in the early first century ce ? i understand fully that this question is meant to worry about the first two versions , but the first version is pretty uninteresting - - that ' s like asking if somebody named steve existed in the early 21st century in america . yeah . the second question gets a bit more interesting , but the answer gets more nuanced : insofar as a ' steve ' existed in the early 21st century , and he bussed tables , played bass in a local band , had a handful of friends and even a decent following for his weekend gigs - - and i can assert with confidence that at least a few such steves exist in nyc right now - - it is unclear to just what extent i should say that the steves who exist and fit my description are the same ones described in a book i find two thousand years later . this is where the nuance comes in . while i will grant the existence of one or even up to five steve - the - bassist / - busboys , i will remain skeptical as to the existence of a steve - the - bassist / - busboy who was honored in an impromptu parade through manhattan . if i read a story about that steve , it ' s not clear that it ' s the same as any of the five steves whose existence i ' ve accepted - - indeed , it seems like it ' s a different steve entirely . i ' m inclined to say that while the impromptu - parade - steve is modeled after an existing steve , he ' s nonetheless fictional ( assuming i ' m correct in my skepticism ) . this is my response to question # 2 ; i accept the uninteresting existence of several jesuses , but the one around whom the legend is built is probably a fictional embellishment of an existing person , and i don ' t know just where the truth lies . now , i know you ' re not interested in versions # 3 and # 4 , but to give them brief treatment , if i am skeptical as to the veracity of the tales in the non divine / miraculous portions , then hell yes i ' m skeptical with respect to the magic . so again , i accept the uninteresting existence of various jesuses . that ' s easy . i become more and more skeptical the more you insist that his life matches with the depictions in the synoptics . joshua is not the same . sure it is . as i understand it , it ' s basically the difference between " stephen " and " steven . " they ' re both steves .

when my daughter was a new driver she totaled my car . when i got to to scene and talked to the police officer on the scene he told me that she was convinced that " i was going to kill her " . i went over to her and asked what happened and she told me that there was a fly in the car and she was trying to swat it and hit a tree . i told her " that that little bastard better be dead ! " . then i told her that a lot of young drivers dont survive their first accidents , and the most important things were that she did survive and that she learns from it . that she learns that driving means total attention all the time . that was 19 years ago and she ' s been an excellent driver since that day . your dad will get over this . learn from it , and be a better driver in the future . even your dad knows that your life if more important than a porche .

WTF
maybe you arent solidified in your own views , but you repeatedly cited campaign contributions as a source of your displeasure with politics . for example , you said : if they got a greater return from investing in people and research than purchasing politicians , then the rational decision would be invest in where the greatest return is . as it is now , it ' s about 1000 : 1 return if you " contribute " to a campaign . there is no other opportunity on the planet that gives you that sort of return on your money . that would suggest there should be some limitation on campaign contributions to prevent that sort of corruption , but then you say : i should be able to donate my money to groups that will agitate and advocate on my behalf . donating money to a group or politician is a campaign contribution though , right ? so where is the limit that you previously suggested should be in place in order to prevent your cited 1000 : 1 return that comes from purchasing access and the inevitable kickback that comes via contributions ? how is expressing my political views " controlling elections " ? money is controlling elections , not political views . money flows to both parties , this is why politicians pander to those with the most money and why , for example , banks throw plenty of campaign contributions to both sides , insuring favorable treatment regardless of who the figurehead is in power . how is me running a political ad controlling an election ? because unlimited ads means politics go to the highest bidder . most people get their political information from the media , unlimited money pouring into political ads means the office goes to whoever spends the most . this is partially why presidential elections are now costing over $ 1 billion , and why the media is greatly in favor of heavily divise and outrageous showbusiness politics .
