Walsingham

I recall dying. A lot. My two points to keep in mind: wisdom and charisma. Because they make the story ten times more interesting, and help control your hunger. Which makes perfect bloody sense.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/afghanistan/9073459/US-Marines-posed-with-banner-of-Nazi-SS.html Where the **** does that begin to be sensible? A huge part of me wants to reject it as a photoshop, but it's altogether too crazy.

Aren't we kind of a doughnut split? Under twenties and over thirties? EDIT: Having a 'charge of the light brigade moment', as I just confirmed that the girl I am intending to woo this valentines has worked as a fashion model. I mean I know she's gorgeous, but I can't possibly stand a chance when you put it like that. Where the hell is Shryke when you need him? I've no intention of running away, naturally, but, well, you can't approach romance like you can some rocky ridge. Or can you? Anyone else throwing themselves at a forlorn hope this Tuesday?

I might point out that a great many of those who are arguing for freedom are also biased, since they abuse that freedom to thieve material under the law as it stands. Tey simply don't get prosecuted under the law as it stands. The offence remains.

How many is The Only Way is Essex into now?

Meshugger does have a point. Ron paul woudl be a popcorn and soda presidency for those of us lucky enough to be a long way away.

Purely for the benefit of my fevered imagination I'm going to suggest he's been posted to the Playboy mansion.

I can't advise you as a parent, Hurlshot, and even if I could I wouldn't regard myself as superior. However, as a manager I'd advise you to look at building up the subordinate 'building blocks' of the functioning behaviour. Make her stronger, give her more motivation to complete, positively enable prior through a prep (but don't prep by doing the actual performance, do skills affirmation). I'd also consider whether it's her thing to be performing at all. It's not in everyone's character to want to go out and get public applause or derision, and sometimes it's simply because a person knows they have all the interest, care and support they need already. EDIT: also, as an amateur actor and singer I'd particularly single out the pre-prep. Do stretches or vocal exercises beforehand to prove you've got the chops to do the full show. BUt don't do the full show, because then you'll get complacent.

Well, if that wiki page is to be believed then I stand corrected. I knew we elected MEPs, obviously. But I was under the impession that the Parliament was effectively neutered.

At least the protagonist speaks in whole sentences, even if there's no real choice in what you say. Some people have a few interesting things. But no real characters so far for me, except maybe that bald bloke from the tavern in Solitude. He's OK as a companion.

Geordie women: And don't make me blast Oblivion for its tedium-tastic people and settings. I actually enjoy just going for a walk in Skyrim.

Ba-bump

Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot I just can't get it out of my head. Nor can I stop my head bobbing when it's on.

I loved the game. Boost your charisma a bit and reap the rewards. Also, roleplay. The hunger meter is crazy. BUt it is also one of the best bits of the game for me. Actually installs a sense of urgency and crisis unlike any other mechanism I've come across in a CRPG.

I guess I could go for 'small government' on the basis that much Federal regulation is of irrelevant minutiae. An example is shipping regulations, which have exploded in the last thirty years, yet we've seen little improvement in safety. Heavy handed counter-intuitive regulation simply serves to entrench the big players in an industry because they're the only ones with enough spare cash to hire compliance officers by the battalion.

Until you got an arrow into your knee? I want some sticking plasters with "Your adventuring days are over" written on them.

He wants to abolish... ...the food and drug administration? Does he not have any idea the kind of crap that used to get put in foods before governments instituted tough regulatory controls? Let alone medicines? Copper in the butter, lead in the spices, thalidomide babies. Not that I'm saying the FDA are doing a perfect job.

Ah that old classic from management: "I'm too bad at my job to understand what people do for the business but I do know how much they cost the business. Fire away!"

Raithe has a point. ANY number we choose to measure things by is no more or less sensible than a monarch's appendage. The only hilarious thing in this discussion is your touching and childlike faith in the men in white coats.

Congrats on the new place!

Well, maybe so. Let us salute, and move on.

I had no idea they could print titanium. That's awesome.

The moon condos thing is the only reason I'd have to vote for Gingrich. For. F***'s. Sake. People. Let's. Get. Into. Space.

The point is that I know roughly how big it is, Pid. Not that I know precisely how big it is. And working in tens is all very well, but working in threes is how people actually function easily.
