I am moving a comment thread up here to its own post because it’s sliding down the front page and because I think it’s becoming both interesting and amusing. The commenter is now using the name The Other David, due to some confusion between two Davids in the thread.

The Spring Assisted Knife Definition: a spring-assisted knife is a folding knife with a spring that collaborates with the process of deploying a folding knife’s blade by helping and reinforcing the action of extracting that blade out of the knife’s handle.

In Chapter Five of A New Earth, we explore how negative emotions and old memories – if not faced and seen for what they are in the moment – become fuel for the pain-body.

WINNER: HUMANA, INC.
ENTRY: CHECK YOUR CHOICES
THE BIG IDEA: It started with a simple and rather obvious question from one of the dining operation managers: “if we're going to subsidize something, shouldn't it be something healthy?” (at the time the location was offering free fountain soda)
Good question, and the resul... | <urn:uuid:37da4aa5-9509-4917-a3ff-1d10a385e6ea> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://food-management.com/fm-best-concepts/making-healthy-choices-pay | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368703298047/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516112138-00041-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.954067 | 352 | 1.609375 | 2 |

An early miscarriage is usually due to a problem such as a chromosomal or structural abnormality in the fetus. It may also be caused by a fibroid (a non-cancerous growth in the uterus), an infection, or an immune system disorder. Miscarriage occurs more commonly in older women, in smokers, and in multiple pregnancies.

Located 7 miles north of Line Pine on Highway 395, the Manzanar National Historic Site contains evidence of several historical eras. The Paiute and Shoshone people occupied the Manzanar area for centuries. American Indian archeological sites are important parts of the Manzanar story.

Local control is the sacred cow of K-12 education in Colorado. Local control is enshrined in the Colorado Constitution and is a guiding principle of our local and state boards of education.

Over the weekend I finished reading Seamus Haney's translation of Beowulf and then started in last night on Hilary Mandel's Wolf Hall, both of which are excellent reads. That got me thinking this morning about how much I would enjoy seeing both works adapted to the screen.

Variety may be the spice of life, but in a manufacturing plant it simply spells confusion and uncoordinated effort.

You have to remember that we're talking about 1908 here. Nobody was thinking about buildings in this way before.

Many homeowners long to hear the magic words, “your home equity loan is approved.” But for most, this type of loan, which allows a homeowner to borrow against the equity in the home, is hard to get.
The typical barriers are lack of equity, impaired credit and inadequate income to support additional borrowing.
Of those,... | <urn:uuid:c7f70ca4-6a6e-4684-9e6c-9260830c3eb1> | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | http://www.vcstar.com/news/2011/mar/06/why-home-equity-loans-are-hard-get/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2013-20/segments/1368706153698/warc/CC-MAIN-20130516120913-00067-ip-10-60-113-184.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.958748 | 891 | 1.84375 | 2 |
Back to School: A Time to Rethink Time
Another year has passed, and schools are still captives of an outdated calendar.

Tuxy said it first: sleep paralysis is freaky stuff.
