How many impeachable offenses are we up to now on this a**clown? 20-30 or more. I know the GOP politicians are gutless and have given up any semblance of morals and ethics, so I guess we will have to wait until the democrats can flip the houses. The longer this joke of a president is allowed to run around as clueless and unfettered as he is, the worse it will be for the world, the country and yes, the republican party. His insanity is growing worse every day and anyone with half a brain, can see it in his boy scout speech and his tweets. | 1 | en |

Dermot, Are you a trust funder? Does someone else's money pay most of your bills? If you are a trust funder, then I understand why you would write such an article. If you aren't, then if you pay your own bills, why don't you think municipalities should not pay their own bills? Why do you think municipalities should be trust-funder babies to the State of Alaska? If municipalities are forced to pay their own education bills, then the likelihood is that education costs will be cut. Significantly. Which is something that is needed after 35 years of Alaskan school districts suckling on the state oil money teet. | 0 | en |

I see that the (former) CNN reporter and (former) DNC Chairwoman who denied she had fed information to Clinton has finally admitted that she lied.
Just like the leaked Podesta emails said she did. CNN had already fired her, of course.
She had tried to play the "Christian Woman" card back in October when her duplicity first came out.
“As a Christian woman, I understand persecution, but I will not sit here and be persecuted,” Brazile said. “Your information is totally false.”
"Brazile admits she forwarded town hall questions to Clinton camp"

dispel is not a part of normal rotation, you dont use icy touch in your rotation as dk, like I said it doesn't seem you know much about dks so you shouldnt post stuff you dont know about.
if alter time was at least 3 min cd then yea I would agree on it
ah sorry, i presumed it was since hots and other buffs on me are continuously purged vs dks, but i guess they are all retards doing a different rotation to you

I haven't thought about it in that way, yes it would be almost too powerfull if undispellable. Thanks for the input. Reduce the duration maybe so you could get 3 globals off with it while having undispellable effect. Or just leave the whole spell as it is.
at the moment vs hunter/dk/shaman teams the spell is at best unreliable and at worst unusable/dangerous, needs some sort of change to either dispels in general or the spell for the first 2 or so seconds after you use it

I'd trade all of the positive changes for an undispelable mastery shield + ss. I'm already used to my sac being dispelled in roughly 2 seconds, but one of your most important talents shouldn't go to complete waste against the first competent mage / shaman / hunter team that comes your way.
I think it's more a matter of Shaman / SP / Mage purge being OP though, if they nerfed that maybe some of your buffs would stick for longer then a global.

funny to see how all mages are screaming about ferals now, yea implent that stuff you wrote (topic) and you might aswell remove the specc. feral playerbase so small compared to fotm classes like mages so when mages get nerfed and have hard time against ferals its everywhere, all that may be needed for feral is a short cd on cyclone that's it (perhaps cd stacking aswell but that goes for more classes)
mage asking for nerfs across the board and a dozen buffs for his own class.
makes sure to delete a buff on mages to try and pass as not biased.
troll thread started by a 2k biased player getting so much feedback /sigh
Do you honestly, honestly come ratingbash on a thread where I try to provide a thread to talk about possible changes for the future? Do you think I AM THE GUY who makes patch notes?
Go ratingbash me more if it helps you feel better about yourself, I don't care. Yes I might not have a title on myself because this is actually my first season I do ANY proper arenas, besides hit 2.2k and afk in Durotar or PvE like I've done for the last 3 seasons and in TBC.
On top of what I've said about other classes, I gave abit more detailed opinion how to make mage, my own class; a possible alternative on playstyles which would make them cast something at all.
Just like many have also posted a opinion how to fix/improve their own class in a way that
a)Would not affect PvE
b)Would not turn them into overpowered state too much
And this kind of feedback on a classes is in my opinion a nice thing to talk about.
Now give me proper feedback on yours, how would you like to fix YOUR class to make it's playstyle interesting, fix the most retarded thing about it or nerf it if it's overpowered?

its not only mages, its anyone who doesnt play a feral or play with a feral
and ferals couldn't shit roots in cata, and the would have been the best melee if not for rogue legendaries, so it doesnt seem to kill the class

I don't think his list is that bad, mages probably don't need as much help as he posted. But who cares. No need to rip him a new one.
Warriors:
Shockwave 30 sec cd.
Avatar either changed for less damage but a shorter cd or avatar/reck are exclusive to each other while active might be ok. I think I'd prefer the shorter cooldown less damage however.
Druids:
I still think displacer could use a bit longer cooldown
Feral instant clone is dumb. I don't know the best change but it needs to be adjusted
Paladins:
Blinding light should be changed
Rets need buffs
Death Knights:
A little more passive survivability
Strang off the GCD makes sense, no rune cost
Rogues:
Could use a slight damage buff
Survival buffed a bit as well, especially against melee
Priests:
Shadow could use a few tools taken away, life swap would probably make the most sense
Disc obviously needs help
Other classes seem pretty fine, could probably use a few tweaks but I don't have any offer.
i would also like to see defensive nerfs to the classes that can currently afford to play without full resi gems, brings damage far more in line if everyone is in full resi and not stacking pvp power for even more stupid cleave damage

This invention relates to a brake drum particularly adapted for motor vehicles and being reinforced with an embedded reinforcement member to provide a composite structure.
Brake drums used for motor vehicles such as heavy duty trucks are typically formed by casting grey iron and machining the casting in areas where precision dimensions and surfaces are required. Although iron brake drums perform satisfactorily, designers of braking systems are constantly striving for enhanced performance, lower cost, increased fatigue life and lighter weight. One particular shortcoming of conventional all-iron drums is their susceptibility to heat checking and crack formation which can ultimately lead to failure of the drum.
As a means for providing an improved brake drum, composite structures are known in which steel is incorporated into an iron brake drum for reinforcement. The brake drum according to U.S. Pat. No. 4,858,731, which is commonly assigned to the assignee of the present invention, employs a cage-like reinforcement assembly made from steel wire which is cast in place to be substantially embedded within a grey iron brake drum. Locating wires are provided to position the reinforcement structure with respect to the mold cavity during casting. Since the steel material of the reinforcing assembly has a considerably higher modulus of elasticity than grey iron, the reinforcement increases the strength of the composite drum structure, thus decreasing mechanical deflection in response to loading. Although this brake drum makes improvements over previous drums, the locator wires of the reinforcement structure locate on both of the two mold halves when positioning the reinforcement structure. In this regard, the locator wires cross the parting line of the mold and present problems in terms of maintaining tolerances in the positioning of the reinforcement structure relative to the machined, loading or friction surface of the drum.
Additionally, the interior ends of the locator wires were required to have precise diameters in that this end was required to contact both mold halves. Furthermore, Applicant's prior design tended to cause sand from the casting molds to be scraped free as the two mold halves are put together, leading to imperfections in the final product.
Furthermore, the outer ends of the locator wires were rigidly positioned radially in the casting mold. During casting, as the reinforcement rings enlarge due to thermal expansion, the reinforcement rings would tend to bulge outward radially between the locator wires resulting in an uneven spacing of the reinforcement wires from the machined friction surface of the brake drum.
In accordance with this invention, an improved composite brake drum is provided which exhibits a number of significant benefits over previous cast brake drums. The brake drum according to this invention employs a cage-like reinforcement assembly, preferably made from steel wire, which is cast in place to be substantially embedded within a grey iron brake drum. Specifically, the present invention offers an improvement in the locating and positioning of the reinforcement assembly relative to the machined, loading or braking surface of the drum. The locating means of the present invention accurately positions the reinforcement assembly with respect to one mold half during casting and therefore, neither crosses the parting line of the mold nor requires spanning the separation of the mold halves at the locating end. Thus, properly positioned, the reinforcement assembly eliminates the tolerance problems which lead to reduced drum life.
The locating means also allows for easy reforming and fine tuning of the reinforcement assembly prior to mounting within the mold. This further assures accurate positioning of the reinforcement assembly.
The present invention is additionally beneficial in that it allows green casting sand, which has been scraped or dislodged from the mold during positioning of the reinforcement assembly, to be cleared from the mold cavity before the mold is closed for actual casting. With the present reinforcement assembly contacting only one mold half, upon closing of the mold, additional casting sand will not be scraped from the second mold and the mold cavity will remain free from contaminants, upon closing of the mold. With the free or loose sand removed, the porosity of the casting is reduced and the strength of the drum proportionally increased.
The reinforcement assembly also reduces the generation of surface checks and cracks which can propagate and ultimately cause mechanical failure of the brake drum. The increased strength of the composite further enables a reduction in the quantity of iron that is required to produce a brake drum of given strength, thus resulting in a lighter weight brake drum structure. The reinforcement assembly further results in the reinforcing sections being positioned close to the machined friction surfaces of the drum within tolerances required for the most advantageous structural efficiency. The axial aspect of the reinforcing assembly serves to reinforce the brake drum across the entire depth of the friction surface. Significantly, the composite brake drum according to this invention can be fabricated using conventional sand casting processes with minimal variations, thus saving the cost of retooling. Due to the fact that the metal reinforcing sections of this invention are distributed, relatively small diameter wires can be used which in turn enable the wires to be rapidly heated to temperatures near those of the molten iron being poured into the casting mold. Thus, good fusion between the iron and embedded steel reinforcement is promoted and casting cycle time is reduced.
To overcome the problem of uneven spacing of the reinforcement rings caused by thermal expansion, the one end of the locator wires responsible for positioning of the reinforcement structure relative to the radially outer surface of the mold cavity is formed with a spring section. This allows the locator wires to move radially outwardly and the reinforcement rings to expand radially outwardly at the location of the locator wires as well as circumferentially therebetween. The result is a circumferentially even movement of the rings radially in response to thermal expansion. Additional benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which this invention relates from the subsequent description of the preferred embodiments and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. | 0 | en |

David Cameron has asked the cabinet secretary, Sir Jeremy Heywood, to conduct an urgent investigation into an apparent decision by the government of Margaret Thatcher to send an SAS officer to Delhi in 1984 to advise the Indian government on the expulsion of militants from the Golden Temple in Amritsar.
Amid calls from Sikh groups for an inquiry into the alleged British involvement in planning the operation, Downing Street said the investigation would examine two issues: the British action in 1984 and the decision to release such sensitive government papers.
Heywood will want to examine why the papers were not marked sensitive and held back when papers from 1984 were released under the annual 30-year rule.
The prime minister intervened after the recent, explosive release of papers from 1984, which showed that the then foreign secretary, Sir Geoffrey Howe, responded "favourably" to a request from Delhi for help in drawing up plans to launch a military operation to remove militants from the Golden Temple in Amritsar, the holiest site in the Sikh faith.
The Indian government said around 400 people were killed when the Indian prime minister, Indira Gandhi, sent troops into the temple in June 1984 in the six-day Operation Blue Star. Sikh groups, which have called for an inquiry into the British role in "one of the darkest episodes in Sikh history", put the death toll in the thousands, including many pilgrims.
The revelation of British involvement prompted an intense debate in India. The general who led the assault on the temple, Lieutenant General KS Brar, said that the allegation the British government secretly helped the late Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi to plan the mission was "fictitious" and that "all the plans [for Operation Blue Star] were laid and executed by Indian military commanders".
Brar told the Guardian: "There was no question of getting help from the British government and no suggestion or mention at any stage of a British officer who had come and advised. It was a last-minute operation because the prime minister was negotiating with the Sikh leaders to arrive at an amicable solution. As a last resort, she ordered the operation."
A leading member of the opposition BJP party, which is favourite to win this year's Indian general election, said the documents raised questions about claims by Indira Gandhi's government that it only decided to launch the operation to storm after talks with Sikh politicians broke down in May 1984.
The British documents show that India sought UK advice in February 1984 and that Britain was confident a military operation would be launched.
Arun Jaitley, the BJP leader in the upper house of the Indian parliament, blogged: "Contrary to what we have been told that it was the collapse of the dialogue in May, 1984 that led to the 'Operation Blue Star', the government of India was in dialogue with the British government on the plan to remove the dissident Sikhs from the holy Golden Temple...If [the] British government was being consulted in February 1984, it only lends credence to the fact that government of India neither believed in nipping the problem at the initial stage nor in exploring alternative methods of evacuating the extremists from the Golden Temple. It wanted to invade the sacred precincts of the Golden Temple no matter even if it hurt the national interest and certainly the interests of the Sikhs."
Cameron's spokesman said Heywood would conduct his inquiry as quickly as possible. "The cabinet secretary has been asked by the prime minister to look into what may have happened in 1984 with regard to papers that have been recently released. The prime minister has asked the cabinet secretary to lead an investigation on that subject. The important thing is to establish all the facts as quickly as possible. That work is under way."
The spokesman added: "The reason behind it [the investigation] is that issues have been raised around the decisions both to release papers and also to consider the facts contained within the papers. So there are two aspects to it."
Cameron reached out to Sikhs when he visited the Golden Temple last year and the nearby Jallianwala Bagh, where he wrote of the "deeply shameful" Amritsar massacre of 1919, when at least 379 innocent Indians died after British troops opened fire.

The correspondence was published on Monday on the Stop Deportations website. A letter dated 23 February 1984, from Howe's private secretary, Brian Fall, to Hugh Taylor, his counterpart serving the home secretary at the time, Leon Brittan, said the foreign secretary had decided to respond "favourably" to an Indian request for British advice on an operation to remove Sikh extremists from the Golden Temple. Fall wrote: "With the prime minister's agreement, an SAD officer has visited India and drawn up a plan which has been approved by Mrs Gandhi. The foreign secretary believes that the Indian government may put the plan into operation shortly." The reference to SAD is understood to be a typographical error for SAS, which is referred to later in the letter.
Fall wrote that Britain's involvement in advising the Indian authorities should be kept secret to avoid inflaming tensions within the Indian community in Britain. He wrote: "We have impressed upon the Indians the need for security; and knowledge of the SAS officer's visit and of his plan has been tightly held in India and in London. The foreign secretary would be grateful if the contents of this letter could be very strictly limited to those who need to consider the possible domestic implications."
In an earlier letter, dated 6 February, Thatcher's private secretary, Robin Butler, said Thatcher had given her approval to the plan. Butler, who later became cabinet secretary, wrote: "The prime minister is content that the foreign secretary should proceed as he proposes."
The decision is likely to inflict severe damage on the government's relations with the Sikh community. Cameron reached out to Sikhs when he visited the Golden Temple last year and the nearby Jallianwala Bagh, where he wrote of the "deeply shameful" Amritsar massacre of 1919 when at least 379 innocent Indians died after British troops opened fire.
Paul Uppal, Britain's only Sikh MP who accompanied Cameron on his trip to the Golden Temple and who spoke to officials in No 10 on Monday night, praised the prime minister for acting quickly. Uppal, the Conservative MP for Wolverhampton South West, said: "It is important that we address what went on, what advice was given and whether this differed from the final strategy of the Indian government. There is a bit of a gap from February to June.
"British Sikhs want to get to the nub of exactly what went on. These documents coming to light have resurrected a lot of those old wounds. For me personally it brought back a lot of those memories as a 16 year old watching those scenes unfold on television with my family. This is a very sensitive issue for many Sikhs. It was a seminal moment."
The head of the Sikh Council UK, Gurmel Singh, said he was "shocked and disappointed" at the idea that the government of Margaret Thatcher may have been involved. The Labour MP Tom Watson, whose West Bromwich constituency is home to many Sikhs, has demanded that the Foreign Office release further papers about any British role. | 0 | en |

Excuse me? I HAVE provided evidence. Why should I hassle it again when you don't respond to evidence anyway. And you have to read this stuff at some length. One of these Fatima Center books involves a conspiracy theory in which the West is determined to blame pro-Russian Ukrainian separatists for the attack on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (the Dutch investigation did arrive at that conclusion), all as an excuse for Obama to go to war with Russia. The pope must consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in precisely the way she described! Only she can save us!

In that spirit, I was thinking the Liberals should have chosen Pamela Anderson as leader instead of Trudeau.
She's better looking than Justin, was Canada's Centennial Baby as the first one born on July 1st, 1967, rose to the top of an intensely competitive industry in Hollyweird, is a true not faux lefty who supports all the "right" left wing causes like PETA's crusade against cruelty to animals, she actually sounds smarter than Justin when one is able to focus on what she says instead of just how she looks, and unlike The Dauphin Ms. Anderson can be counted upon to reveal all the naked truth about herself.
Anderson has been in the forefront in the US for the legalization of marijuana, the save the oceans and the seals lobbies, the anti-sexual violence moand has met with Vladimir Putin and other leaders.
I think she would be even more warmly received than Justin at The White House and in the NAFTA negotiations.

When Jesus made his remark, he was being set-up and carefully observed, so he couldn't be straightforward. He couldn't say "Don't pay your taxes," and he didn't say "Pay your taxes," which he could have. It had nothing to do with money and everything to do with God versus secular government.
Jesus never made a pitch for government; he took a lot of shots at it, though. | 0 | en |

It is true that if you continually violate your parole or probation conditions that you are likely to wind up in prison but if you cannot abide by the conditions then that is appropriate. You can only place someone on double secret probation so many times before the system is forced to act more drastically. My statement is true...you have to commit a violent crime or continually commit non-violent crimes to end up in prison. Especially in urban areas. I know because I have worked in the system for more than 30 years...you on the other hand are one who simply points to extremes and disregards common sense and reason. | 0 | en |

A lot of public service pensions is paid for 50-50, not a 1-2 ratio. The whole bundle is actuarially calculated assuming wage increases. Meanwhile, those without pensions can still contribute to TFSAs and non-registered accounts .Also, don't forget that eventually you do have to pay tax on your RRSP / RRIF withdrawals, so the tax deduction could be a wash (and maybe even raise your taxes by treating capital gains as income). | 0 | en |

Speaking of restricting yourself to topics that you have some knowledge of, I brought up the "most-watched" news, and cited television figures... not website visits. Website views are not counted the same as television views. None of the figures mentioned above include website views.
"RT.com doesn't appear on that list because it wasn't in the Top 50."
No. The click-bait "trendingtopmost" link is completely different than the news outlets in the Alexa top 50.
A few things to point, however, out about the Alexa-documented website views:
- HP, Guardian, and others websites appear more popular than BBC (despite BBC being the #1 most-watched news)
- RT is #335, not 350 (it was #279 three months ago. NYT, CNN, especially Foxnews, and others, are all on the decline)
- rank #335 (not 350) out of all websites in the world means that RT.com is receiving massive visitor numbers (globeandmail.com is #8,068,541) | 0 | en |

A voter who is not earning enough to pay taxes but votes for a candidate who promises not to increase taxes is a voter who aspires to earn enough someday to actually pay income taxes.

Ferd, please correct the information in your story.
The cost estimate of $324.5 million is NOT for "a new 30,000- to 35,000-seat stadium, expandable to 40,000 seats" as stated in the article sidebar.
Rather it is for a 31,000-seat facility that could be expanded to 40,000 for special events. The Executive Summary says:
"A new stadium, by contrast, would cost a total of $324.5 million, including $260 million for building hard costs... This plan would build a 500,000 square foot facility with approximately 31,000 permanent seats, expandable to 40,000 with temporary seating."
So the report approved by the Stadium Authority contemplates reducing stadium capacity by almost 40%. Considering that the facility will have to serve the needs of UH football and other users for roughly the next 50 years, as the local population continues to grow and grow, it would be extraordinarily shortsighted and foolish for the governor and legislature to agree to this. We need a stadium, not a SHOEBOX. | 0 | en |

Schools across the country are happy to push millions of dollars into athletics for very indirect and tenuous increases in applications. I'm sure there is a spreadsheet somewhere in the Office of Enrollment Management that lets you enter how many Nobel Prize winners are on the faculty, so that prospective student tour groups can be told, "and here is the Science Complex, with labs and offices of researchers... including NOBEL PRIZE WINNER David Wineland", and the spreadsheet calculates and outputs how many out of state tuition dollars are expected from this decision. | 0 | en |

RE: Why, in other words, is it more reasonable to conclude from available evidence that our world is imbued with the Spirit of God than to conclude that, as Bertrand Russell and others have argued, it just seems that way to us from our limited perspective? <<<
That's well put. The task of philosophical theology or natural theology might best be more modest, i.e. establishing an equiplausible stance?
Beyond that indispensable speculative equiplausibility, practical judgment can next act on any competing live options, evaluating their performative significance, pragmatically. Confronted with forced, vital and live options, we might employ an equiplausibility principle, e.g. which might suggest that we opt for the most life-giving & relationship-enhancing response. In such a (nonvulgar) pragmatism, orthopraxy authenticates orthodoxy. That's nonfoundationalist, but weak foundationalists make good sense, too, saying ontological claims, when not decisive, can remain eminently suggestive. | 0 | en |

17. I agree completely, especially about how hard it is to be a non-leftist transperson and how many people don't understand autism (30%+ amiright?). But: you HAVE heard the definition of "nonbinary" from a non-SJW. It's just everything that isn't male or female (which means that it is INCREDIBLY broad. That's why it doesn't make sense to say there aren't nonbinary people). You're right that society is totally geared to label people into M and F. But that's changing because people are changing. Humans are naturally biased to reduce any topic down to a binary. But as we know that doesn't reflect reality; it is simply a shortcoming of the way we process information (and normally it isn't a shortcoming and it helps us solve a lot of our problems). IMO 20 years ago a **huge** portion of society didn't *believe* in trans identities. They looked at a person and said: "that's a dude in a dress" or "I bet that bulldyke is a carpet-muncher" (or whatever they said. I wasn't old enough to notice so I'll just be as offensive and basic as I can imagine lol). But now trans identities are commonly recognized and generally understood (especially since the time when GG started). I foresee that a similar level of understanding will organically (aka slowly) spread over the next 20 years about people who don't feel comfortable identifying as male or female. I might be completely off-base. Maybe society is only capable of being tolerant towards MtF and FtM and nothing else. But that isn't really the way societal movements move from my understanding of history. | 0 | en |
