With such levels of accuracy in time measurement, it is no surprise that TAG Heuer is the timekeeping instrument of choice at many sporting events. Most of Replica Handbags the collections Replica Handbags have replica watches taken the replicas Hermes names of sports cars and professional motorsports events.
WHEN 35 Greenpeace protesters stormed the International Petroleum Exchange (IPE) yesterday they had planned the operation in great detail.
What they were not prepared for was the post-prandial aggression of oil traders who kicked and punched them back on to the pavement.
“We bit off more than we could chew. They were just Cockney barrow boy spivs. Total thugs,” one protester said, rubbing his bruised skull. “I’ve never seen anyone less amenable to listening to our point of view.”
But what was funny was this:
“They grabbed us and started kicking and punching. Then when we were on the floor they tried to push huge filing cabinets on top of us to crush us.”
Filing cabinets - heh.
What the hell did you clowns expect - passive acknowledgement?
Please - you deserve every punch and kick to the head for pulling a stupid stunt like this.
See, now, I'm wishing I was there, almost... kick me and I'd have bit his fucking nose off. Sometimes it's so frustrating trying to live the good life...

Two engineering students meet on campus one day. The first engineer calls out to the other, "Hey -- Nice bike! Where did you get it?"
"Well," replies the other, "I was walking to class the other day when this pretty, young lady rides up on this bike. She jumps off, takes off all of her clothes, and says 'You can have ANYTHING you want!!'"
"Good choice," says the first, "her clothes wouldn't have fit you anyway."
Like a few other people, I'm finding this hard to wrap my brain around:
Navy to Commission Attack Submarine Jimmy Carter WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy will commission its newest nuclear-powered attack submarine Jimmy Carter Feb. 19, during an 11 a.m. EST ceremony at Naval Submarine Base New London, Groton, Conn.
The attack submarine Jimmy Carter honors the 39th president of the United States.
President Carter is the only U.S. president to have qualified in submarines. He has distinguished himself by a lifetime of public service, and has long ties to the Navy and the submarine force. Carter graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1946, served as a commissioned officer aboard submarines, and served as commander-in-chief from 1977 to 1981. Carter's statesmanship, philanthropy and sense of humanity earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
Here's hoping that her crew makes the name just another name...
Of course, Chris Muir puts it all into perspective with his cartoon 'Day by Day':
for the record, Carter pronounced it that way too
& he was a freakin' nuke-ya-lur engineering officer.

Extra care will be required if your watch has actual Replica Handbags gemstones Replica Handbags on or inside Replica Handbags of it, particularly if they are located on the outside of the watch. replica watches You will need to take into consideration the information that is given to Replica Handbags you Replica Handbags on how resistant to Replica Handbags gemstones are (their hardness factor), as this information will likely restrict your activity in a considerable way with the watch you Replica HandBags bought. Replica Handbags
For instance, a diamond has the highest hardness on the Moh s scale (a total 10 out Juicy Couture repicas Watches of 10) and only the use of another diamond has the ability to scratch it. Nevertheless, an emerald on the other hand is very brittle, and if it gets Replica handbags hit you may cause internal fractures Replica Handbags of the stone itself.
Officials in car-clogged California are so worried they may be considering a replacement for the gas tax altogether, replacing it with something called "tax by the mile."
Seeing tax dollars dwindling, neighboring Oregon has already started road testing the idea.
"Drivers will get charged for how many miles they use the roads, and it's as simple as that," says engineer David Kim.
Kim and his team at Oregon State University equipped a test car with a global positioning device to keep track of its mileage. Eventually, every car would need one.
"So, if you drive 10 miles you will pay a certain fee which will be, let's say, one tenth of what someone pays if they drive 100 miles," says Kim.
The new tax would be charged each time you fill up. A computer inside the gas pump would communicate with your car's odometer to calculate how much you owe.
My initial thought was Yeah, right but here in California it's a distinct possibility.
Why? Because, like the added tax on cigarettes started several years ago, this will become a self-defeating tax. If someone makes their living off of driving more than the average driver, then they'll be taxed more and it'll eat into their income. These people will then take measures to reduce or eliminate this taxation and here's where the defeat enters.
At the initial start of this new taxing scheme, California Tax Franchise Board and the California Department of Transportation will avow that the monies procured from this will be 'used for road maintenance only'. Then somehow some of these funds will be diverted to other programs - some not necessarily for road maintenance - that should be covered by General Fund expenditures.
Eventually, some programs will have their funding provided exclusively by this new tax and as people start to find alternate legal methods of avoiding paying the tax, there will be an outcry that 'children are being hurt' by the lack of funding.
As with the 50-cent per pack of smokes California added several years ago - which now is depended upon for it's steady income to 'help children not take up smoking - the decreased income from these taxes will be viewed as budgetary crisis and new ways of deriving income through taxation will be created. This is evident by many cities in California banking on that added tax money to augment their normal budgets; there's less money coming in and their starting to hunt for additional income schemes.
I call it 'self-defeating' because those that think of these *cough* great ideas don't consider that people will find a way to avoid paying them. People have started quitting smoking cause it's just too expensive to keep doing (besides all the other health considerations) and they're not paying that tax anymore. Subsequently, drivers will find alternate methods to get their business done with out having to drive it.
Well, it will be defeated because the legislature will split between wanting the revenue and not wanting Big Brother.

I can't find any source for it, but this morning I heard of an FBI operation that was concluded here in San Diego that busted seven men in a NAMBLA sting operation.
The men were stopping here in San Diego before heading to Mexico to have sex with 12-year old boys.
I heard this on the radio while taking my kid to school and was suprised to hear the next part: Rick Roberts has offered his listeners $1000 for each member of NAMBLA that he can expose on-air.
Yup - Rick has put a bounty on these pedophiles heads!! Bravo Rick!!
When I find something with more details, I'll post it here.
LOS ANGELES — Seven members of the North American Man/Boy Love Association, including two teachers, were arrested in Southern California and charged with allegedly planning to travel to Mexico to have sex with boys, authorities said.
An eighth man was charged with distributing child pornography, said FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller.
Four men were arrested in Los Angeles and three in San Diego Saturday.
They were charged Monday, following a sting operation in which each man allegedly paid hundreds of dollars to an undercover agent to arrange the sex, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said during a news conference Monday.
During the investigation, the FBI set up a fake travel company that offered a trip to Mexico to meet boys for sex, Eimiller said.
The men had allegedly traveled from their homes to Southern California with the expectation of boarding a boat to Ensenada, where they were told sex with the boys was awaiting them at a bed-and-breakfast, Eimiller said.
Through the undercover agent, she said, they requested that the boys be as young as 8 years old.
In light of this story, Rick Roberts is offering a $1000 bounty for information on embers of NAMBLA. "If you know someone who is a member, give me their name, location, and credible information that they are members of NAMBLA, and I will give you $1000 out of my pocket," Rick Roberts said on his show today. “I’m not suggesting you take the law into your own hands. Just provide me with the information. I’ll deal with the NAMBLA members,” Roberts says.
Rick has been a strong child advocate all of his talk radio career and says he just doesn't understand how an organization that actively recruits and supports adults having sex with children can exist. "These predators need to be exposed to the bright light of day. We're hoping that these vermin start to turn on each other to pick up a few extra dollars," says Roberts.
yeah, but were either of the teachers YOUR teacher in school?

Mexico and many other nations often have much lower age of consent laws than does the US.
If these guys were not going to break any Mexican laws, then why should they be arrested.
Many cultures honor pedophilia. Ancient Athens, for example, revered homosexual pedophilia. This was the greatest civilization ever.
The authorities are being too hard on these guys.
They're probably highly intelligent and decent guys.
It's even worse than that.
They wanted 8 year old boys.
Not 12, 8.

WASHINGTON — New Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean promised Saturday to rebuild the party in the most conservative regions of the country, help develop state and local organizations and let congressional Democrats set the tone on policy.
Electing Dean on a voice vote during their winter meeting, Democrats put the party's leadership in the hands of the skilled fund-raiser and organizer whose sometimes caustic, blunt comments have lead to controversy. The physician now must contend with a state-by-state political map in which Republican red overwhelms Democratic blue.
"I'll pretty much be living in red states in the South and West for quite a while," Dean told reporters. "The way to get people not to be skeptical about you is to show up and say what you think."
Dean promises to make the Democratic National Committee less sucky, less obtuse, and more relavant. He'll be coming to your town soon to cater to your every whim - mowing the lawn, washing the family pets, cleaning out the rain gutters - you know, everything that you wish the GOP would do except that Howie will be actuating on those desires.
In other news, Dean's infamous scream from the Democratic primaries is now the most popular substitute for the default 'Exclamation' sound in most personal computers.

|| Posted by Mad Mikey, February 22, 2005 05:04 PM ||Why should the US punish people for doing something legal in another country? Typical imperialist thinking.

Can You Talk...?
I don't care if you're an Emergency Room physician helping out - don't answer your cell phone when you're on the toilet....there is something just so wrong with that.
If you get a call, let it go to voice mail or at most answer it and say I'll call you back in a few minutes.
Damn - some people's children....
Comments on Can You Talk...?
yes...that's one of my pet peeves too....I complained on New Year's Eve about that.

Sad Indicators
You might be an engineering major....
- If you have no life - and you can PROVE it mathematically.
- If you know vector calculus but you can't remember how to do long division.
- If you've actually used every single function on your graphing calculator.
- If it is sunny and 70 degrees outside, and you are working on a computer.
- If you know how to integrate a chicken and can take the derivative of water.
- If you think in "math."
- If you have a pet named after a scientist.
- If you laugh at jokes about mathematicians.
- If the Humane society has you arrested because you actually performed the Schrodinger's Cat experiment.
- If you can translate English into Binary.
- If you can't remember what's behind the door in the science building which says "Exit."
- If you are completely addicted to caffeine.
- If you consider ANY non-science course "easy."
- If when your professor asks you where your homework is, you claim to have accidentally determined its momentum so precisely, that according to Heisenberg it could be anywhere in the universe.
- If the "fun" center of your brain has deteriorated from lack of use.
- If you'll assume that a "horse" is a "sphere" in order to make the math easier.
- If you understood more than five of these indicators.
- If you make a hard copy of this list, and post it on your door.
Sadly, almost all of these apply to me.Comments on Sad Indicators
most of those apply here too, but I'm a biologist. Must be the Caltech talking.

Dr. Dean is on the Case
Big change is on the wind at DNC headquarters:
Dean promises to make the Democratic National Committee less sucky, less obtuse, and more relavant. He'll be coming to your town soon to cater to your every whim - mowing the lawn, washing the family pets, cleaning out the rain gutters - you know, everything that you wish the GOP would do except that Howie will be actuating on those desires.In other news, Dean's infamous scream from the Democratic primaries is now the most popular substitute for the default 'Exclamation' sound in most personal computers.
Comments on Dr. Dean is on the Case
The donks are their own worst enemy. They're actually grooming Dean?
Consider 2008 in the bag.
