The Perot plan gores every ox in sight-and its potentially draconian impact has prompted immediate controversy among economists who say it would only worsen the current recession. Perot adviser John White, who assembled the plan for Perot, conceded that deficit reduction could wait until 1994 to allow the economy to recover, but that seemed unlikely to stop the policy debate. Over a five-year period, Perot seeks to raise $348.2 billion with increased taxes and save $413....

The video from CBS2/KCAL9’s Sky9 news helicopter, which made the rounds on Twitter in the early hours of Wednesday morning, shows a man doing donuts in his car when he runs over fireworks. The fireworks catch onto the bottom of the car, then begin shooting sparks off into all directions as the car continues circling in the intersection, to the delight of the crowd gathered out on the streets....

“Six Feet Under” is a funny, warm, offbeat HBO drama made all the more delightful because it’s about a family of undertakers–hardly your standard TV clan. Each episode opens with a ghoulishly hilarious death. The Fisher family then tends to the survivors, once it gets over its own crises. In one episode, the Fishers hide the fact that a man who died in a dough mixer is still missing a foot because 16-year-old Claire Fisher (Lauren Ambrose) stole the appendage to get back at a boyfriend who bragged about how she sucked his toes....

On Oct. 6-8, the Pompidou Center, Paris’s pre-eminent museum of modern art, will host the Pocket Films Festival. Billing itself as the only event in the world to feature movies made exclusively with mobiles, it’s set to screen 80 films of widely ranging styles, themes and lengths. The medium’s possibilities are expanding all the time. Thanks to the onrush of miniaturization and the exponential growth of digital memories, cell-phone films are getting longer and evolving into a serious art form—or at least something with serious pretensions thereto....

Late last month a Pakistani Army major, captain and eight infantrymen, operating on U.S.-supplied intelligence, were killed in a Qaeda ambush near the Afghan border. Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf continues to promise the risks are worth the rewards. But the rank and file are not so sure. Now, in mess halls and officer barracks throughout the country, soldiers are asking, “What’s in it for us?” Old grudges and new concerns may be giving rise to an anti-American feeling within the Pakistani officer corps, blunting the effectiveness of the U....

Under coach Unai Emery this season but, three years into his career in Ligue 1, the former Sao Paulo man has become a vital part of the French champions. And the stats prove it.

If you have a life raft, you can use the plastic from this to help you with water. If there is a first aid kit in the raft, you might need it if you get cut or sick. Any plastic containers, tubing, flashlights, mirrors, sharp objects etc. could come in handy. If there is a flare gun, save this and put it in a safe place. You might be able to use it if you see a passing ship or aircraft....

For example, if you want to screenshot your whole desktop, make sure all other windows are minimized before continuing. This only applies to OneNote for Microsoft Office (e. g. , OneNote 2016) and not the built-in Windows 10 OneNote app. If you want to use a different note page than the one OneNote opened to, click your preferred page’s tab before continuing. Press Esc to cancel the screenshot. You can click and drag the screenshot to reposition it as needed....

You can continue to collect the gas for as long as the reaction occurs. For classroom demonstrations, you only need a small amount of hydrochloric acid, which is diluted to 1 M; a 2 M concentration works best, but should be used with extra care because it’s a strong acid. The equation is: CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) ==> CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g). Be very careful when working with hydrochloric acid – wear gloves, a lab coat, and protective goggles, and do not let the acid touch your skin!...

For example, if your dog responds to your “Sit” command by sitting, then click the clicker right as her bottom hits the floor. This will help her to associate sitting with doing something good. Never hold treats in your hand while you are training. This will distract your dog and she will not be able to give you her full attention.

Make sure the pen you have set up is large enough to comfortably house all of the ducks you’re keeping. A good rule of thumb is to provide at least 4 square feet (about 0. 37 square meters) of space per animal. [2] X Research source It’s also possible to train adult ducks to free range, although it may take them a little longer to catch on. Newborn chicks and growing ducklings may benefit from having a space heater or heat lamp positioned nearby during the colder months of the year....

State employees typically are fully vested after 10 years. In some service positions, you may vest earlier. In some states, such as Washington, you may be fully vested after as soon as 5 years of service. If you have enough years of service that your pension is already vested, there’s no point in trying to transfer it to another state. You would lose valuable benefits by doing so. If you have an online account through your plan administrator, you may be able to apply for deferred status online....

Pick a fun, fast beat and start practicing! You can practice twerking slowly at first, to get the basic move down, and pick up your pace once you’re comfortable with it. As you pop your booty out, you should lean forward approximately 45 degrees, shifting your weight to your toes. This is known as the “Miley Twerk”. If you want to be a bit less scandalous, then you don’t have to lean forward as much, and can keep your chest upright....

“When I come home from a long day at work and see dirty dishes in the sink, I feel overwhelmed and unappreciated. " “When you tell jokes about immigrants, I feel really uncomfortable and insulted. I feel like I’m not welcome in my own country, regardless of my individual heritage, because of my race. " For example, you might say something like, “In the future, could you please load the dishwasher before I get home from work so I can make dinner right away?...

Agar bars are white, lightweight, and made of freeze-dried agar agar. They can be ground in a coffee or spice grinder so they dissolve more easily, or they can be broken up by hand. One bar is equivalent to 2 teaspoons (about 4 g) of agar powder. [2] X Research source Agar agar flakes can also be ground in a coffee or spice grinder and are less concentrated than the powder....

If you are not working with original art, simply print out or draw a template for the image, pattern, or text you plan to transfer. Some people find it helpful to use masking tape or drafting dots to hold down the paper so that it does not move while you are tracing the design. Some people opt to use a pen with a specific ink color like red or purple to trace the design....

If the cloak is too long, then it will drag along the ground and get dirty after you wrap it. If you prefer a shorter look, then it’s okay to get a cloak that just passes your waist. You can buy a cloak that already has designs, or you can embroider them yourself. If you’re left-handed, pull the right corner toward your left shoulder so your dominant hand stays free. Avoid securing your cloak in the center of your chest since it will limit your mobility and cause the fabric to get in your way....

For example, Australia is easy to conquer and maintain because of how isolated it is, but it is also hard to expand from Australia. Also, since it only gives you a bonus of 2 per turn, you may fall prey to more powerful plays later in the game. For these reasons, conquering Australia may offer you an advantage, but only if you feel capable of overcoming its disadvantage. Keep in mind that while Asia has the highest bonus of 7 per turn it also has 12 territories that need to be held, the highest number in the game....
