That fucking sucks Rodeo! My wife did that at work last year, and it took 4 months of physio-therapy to get her to a point where she could get back to her full scope of practice (She is a spinal chord rehab nurse).

Powers been out for about 48 hours, they say it'll be anywhere from another couple days to a week for it to come back on. But somehow the building across the street has power.

I do not like not having AC.

Perhaps a 100 ft. extension could be employed...

Loki, he's actually not signing S.E.E. by crossing his fingers. He's doing something a little more individual (his name sign variant).

It's actually some of the worst signing technique I've ever seen. "Hunter" is usually signed in a different format that makes it more clear that the person is holding a gun or bow. It is usually the sign for "hunt" then the letter "R", which ties in to make "hunter". They're tying in the R from the get go, which is understandable, but it's not clear he's showing "hunt" by the shaking motion.

This video sorta gets at it, but everyone I've seen just does it the once bounce, instead of the two the guy does: http://www.aslsearch...php?sign_id=608

And they also make the "gun" hand gesture a bit clearer.

So the story is a tiny more ambiguous once you know what the actual sign for "hunter" is, rather than the junk the parents are doing. Still stupid though. That's the kid's name and why would you deny otherwise normal kids from making the equivalent of laser noises while saying their name like normal kids?

In how many other countries in the world could this pantywaste-nonsense possibly make the news? Fucking hell, the kid's deaf, let him sign however he wants ffs. Unbelieveable.

As a potential future member of this community I whole heartedly agreed.

Stuff like this makes the news everyday in NA. Local news shows spend most of thier time on human interest stories or wildly exaggerating typical events. In depth reporting on important issues is generally non-exisentent. The national news is little better (the CBC and NPR aside to an extent), it just has more of a focus on which politicians are bad because they aren't the one the station sides with. For actual news stories, I generally look online, read a newspaper or watch the BBC. I do have to say that the CBC's coverage during the lead up to the US invading Iraq was very good but has gone down a bit since.

Indeed. It's the kind of news that makes me want to see a reporter (or someone else) actually facepunch the school officials live on TV for being boils on the face of humanity.

I'm tired, it's Friday, I've got some hours to spare; figured I'd go home early. WHAMMO! A wild shitload-of-stuff-to-do appears!

This one customer goes through our CEO to ask me for design work, and doesn't provide me with anything to really work with, so he wants me to add a logo to the art, and the only copy of the logo is on a Jpeg where it's already on a product, on an angle, under plastic....and he wants me to cut it out and fix it up to put on the new art and show customer.

Hey, how about you just show the customer and say, your logo goes here when we finalize the art. It's not like they can't sort out what it will look like with their logo attached FFS!

God, people like this guy just piss me right off. If you want a full, proper design, then supply me with the proper fucking files! ARG!

Some of the ones I share kitchen with dosn't understand the necessity of taking out the trash and cleaning the sink when they manage to block it with leftover food. Oh how I miss the ones how lived here last year. Walking the their shoes on to they do. I shall give them the evening to clean up after them, or else they might find the trash in unexpected places.

Apparently the dog back home is sick now with skin allergies, major ones, and he keeps scratching the stuff and making things worse, while there's not enough to watch him 24/7. Grrr...

Dad's being an overbearing prick again. Sorry, but are you telling me that getting an average score in ONE of my Law units in my FIRST YEAR of university is a one-way express train to "jeopardising your career"? Well, blow me down. Had no fucking idea.

Last Monday I ordered coloured contacts lenses. I need them today. Never mind that they didn't have them in stock, which is understandable, so I had to take weaker ones, what annoys me is that my order, according to online tracking, has made a round jouney through Germany now and went back to where it started yesterday. They better deliver it today, I'm in a bad temper

[RodeoRanch]

Shoulder huuuuuuurts! Need more whisky.
