This has been a lifesaver with it’s ability to work as a battery pack when not plugged into the wall. No QC is a downside, but not as big a deal when I can use it as a battery pack when away from the wall. Only thing that can be hit or miss is whether the plug is too hefty to remain in an airplane seat power outlet.

Just replace him with a multi-player trade that includes Ryan Fitzpatrick. No one will notice the difference.

The one I get nostalgic for in Chicago is Old Style.

So is a McDonald’s hash brown the Tater Mom or Tater Pop?

There are times I've gone from southern Indiana into Louisville, and I swear I felt like I was going north.

In true Christian fashion, they pointed out that he who hasn't sinned may take the last slice.

Not that they're in the dance, but I'm always thrown for a loop by Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

And the Chelsea powerball number tonight is 9!

I've also seen VC-25s do their touch-and-goes at Harrisburg Int'l in PA. It's a lot closer to Andrews than further west. It would be correct to assume that the ones in Offutt are the SAC "Kneecaps."

Right, to be clear, the piece I was forwarded emphasized that once the rule change in '07 allowed teams to bring their own balls, NE suddenly became the lowest fumbling team in the NFL.

I received an email with this story, and while not going into this level of detail, I simply reminded my friends that correlation =/= causation. Additionally, we looked at how NE (and many other teams) switched to RBBC around that time, as well as how NE switched from having Correy Dillon as the feature back to BJGE…

Let the countries carry their own weight on basic defense—e.g. air patrols, naval patrols, etc. Any heavy presence should be focused further East and North—Eastern Europe, Baltics, Scandinavia. Consolidate the U.S. presence in Europe, but make sure we have the ability to surge back to dispersed bases, forward…

Which I think each caveat to my statement completely acknowledges.

Also interesting that it's a Coast Guard craft because of the U.S. statements on the Senkaku/Diaoyutai Islands and the U.S.-Japan mutual defense treaty. The U.S. has stated it would come to Japan's defense because it administers the islands, not that is has sovereignty over them. If it turns out that China suddenly…

I think it's great to show off our hardware to the public at events like this. As Tyler said, it's training their already doing, and at least its done under parameters that are much better than the military parades in other countries. I'm sure terrified of the Chinese military that has put so much training into…

Also, it's probably worth noting that Fairfax County gets extra resources for being part of the National Capital Area—increased terrorism risk etc., even though its Arlington and Alexandria or MWAA or Federal Protective Services or CIA police or etc. etc. etc. who would actually respond before the Fairfax Police…

No, but this person from Alexandria is going to avoid businesses in Fairfax.

It's hard to avoid Fairfax County, since it is the great suburban sprawl that sucks the life out of being in Northern Virginia, but frankly, one option is to simply boycott businesses/refuse to use any services in Fairfax County—maybe, only then, they'd recognize the issue.

I believe so, but it's certainly not unheard in American English around here.

"Bollard" is now also used to describe the decorative looking posts around buildings in D.C. that are anchored 5-10 feet below ground to stop a speeding truck.
