Went to Joanne's office Xmas meal. Good food, and Joanne enjoyed the wine. Company not too shabby either

Its interesting that, sadly, we've been here before http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/07/23/jon-stewart-mocks-conservatives-trying-to-suppress-gun-control-debate/ and how familiar the points and sides taken appear. I understand the emotional argument, who would want this to happen to their child. or anyone. Then there's the rational argument. How big a risk of this is to you on a daily basis? Statistically road deaths are a bigger threat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_motor_vehicle_deaths_in_U.S._by_year Yet where is the outrage and the call to ban car ownership? possibly because we weigh the costs / benefits.? What would be a proportionate response to this? I don't have any answers, and the debate here touches any many issues, freedom , trade-offs, the rule of law etc in the political experiment that is the United States. But what is encouraging is that we can have the debate, and that its broadened to take in other related issues. What world do you want to live in?

Yep, choose your child's school based on their teachers grouping and tactical reload skills. It's a societal thing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate One data point being Switzerland Guns are deeply rooted within Swiss culture - but the gun crime rate is so low that statistics are not even kept. "Between the ages of 21 and 32 men serve as frontline troops. They are given an M-57 assault rifle and 24 rounds of ammunition which they are required to keep at home." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/1566715.stm Bill hicks said this 20 years ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MEzCtyRWP8 Do you fear your neighbor?

Oh Yeah!

^Better Check with the warehouse before making a wasted journey. They are no longer in their on line selection , Even though they were considerably cheaper than all the other sources,

Hot (Not quite boiling water) for black tea - no thanks. We had a Saeco Eletric Kettle from costco - went through two replacements when they just stopped working - Shame as they did the job and had a great light show (3 blended led's changed color with temperature) Boil (212oF , or 3 set + holds @ 100, 150 or 200) Fun while it lasted.

If Its just the apps you care about, do any of the more recent android devices stack up? http://www.pcworld.com/article/241793/android_media_players_take_on_the_ipod_touch.html

App Store / online

There is the virtual one time use (per transaction) CC approach http://lifehacker.com/5831160/use-virtual-credit-card-numbers-to-shop-safely-online-keeping-in-mind-the-downsides But it seems too sensible / complex and is being discontinued by some

Still seems broken in tapa talk. Could see grawks post in latest thread header, but don't see it in the thread itself. The web view is OK, though. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

And owning a Bakery ⇒ ?
