Studio Q / Quinn Jacobson Photography BlogNeither I think. For my generation at least (30/40 yo), we learn in school both the bad and the why of the imperialism. I think a series like The Last Kingdom (about Danes invasion of England) really shows what's lacking in our perception of the past : every country leaders were barbarians, they were violent, they held no  regards for human life let alone what we call human rights nowadays. And even here, we only value those since WWII and not everyone in the world is following in theses steps. So if learnt properly neither really applies, it happened and we don't need to apologize for it. Should we be proud of it? No, not the imperialism but some of the values we carried in the past can be source of pride.

It's also interesting to see how such a small country (countries because what's true of France is also true for England, Spain and to Germany)  could hold such power from time to time (Charlemagne, the whole colonization thing, Napoleon) and then be what it was in the 60s to 80s  - a major power in the world - and then be a somewhat second tier power simply because of the current politicians lack of ambition.It would be great to ignore the last three days of the baseball season if you can figure out a way to do it.
Well, it's actually very easy - just take the score on that Sunday and call it a day. To lock it into ESPN, we could just bench everybody on those two teams for the last three days.
I think this solution is the most consistent with the constitution and should not require a vote.

How very Mubarak of you.
Well, I'll need to know how the playoffs are lining up before I can mess with the schedule. I agree that the extra days will probably help mitigate the problem, so I'm not too worried about it one way or another.
Forced benching is an interesting solution, and more importantly, a non-messy one I'm fine with that, too.
You can create the schedule based on a 20-week regular season. That is locked in. I am not considering the 10-day off option since a) I don't like it and b) the 3-day off option is a valid alternative (based on my Mubarakian right to interpret the constitution). The only question is about the three extra days and the answer to that has no bearing on the rest of the schedule.
I'd like to join, or be placed on the waiting list.
Michael, I'll put you on the wait-list (5th). Not to discourage you but you could be looking at years.
More owners make for a weaker team but much more of a challenge when it comes to research. I would love to see expansion, but understand the lack of desire to be more inclusive.
Uh oh, Todd. The potential loss of Wainwright must be devastating for you as both the vall Banger's owner and a Cards fan.
I was just looking up who had Wainwright. I guess he won't be on the keeper list anymore...
With a contract buy-out to boot.
Sharur wrote: You have no idea. Wainwright is my favorite fantasy player and my favorite RL pitcher. Plus the Cards' season is already shot.
So... my vall Bangers put together the best season in league history, and the Cardinals made an amazing run to sneak into the playoffs. I think I need to dismiss the chances of things I want to happen more often!
In fact, that applies to the Cardinals' WS run in '06 as well...
Having said that, anyone else want to see Pujols take Brad Lidge deep in Philly to win the series? You know you do.As you may have noticed looking at the first few pages of this issue, we've made some changes in the magazine this month. We still defy conventional publishing parameters by starting the text of our top news story on the cover, but we've opened the cover a bit and made it less “boxed.” Lighter is how I'd describe the new look for the inside of the book. Gone are the heavy department headers, replaced with lighter headers that don't distract from the headlines and graphics. We've also added more photos in our Industry Observer department to make it more visually appealing. We haven't done away with any departments or added new ones at this point — although some new ones may appear next year. We have, however, changed the name of the product department from PT&I to Pro Shop.
Soon, we will also launch a new look for our Web site, so please be on the lookout this fall. Let us know how you feel about our new design by e-mailing me at [email protected].
Although humility is a virtue, we hope you'll forgive us if we take a little space to share with you that we won four regional awards for writing in the Association of Business Publication Editors award competition. We won a gold and silver for news analysis, a gold for best series of articles, and a gold for regular column, staff written. Awards are always gratifying to receive, but we know we are far from perfect and our intent is to continue to improve our writing and reporting so that we bring you the news and analysis that you need to do your job more effectively.Well, it took me a long time to realize that she has BPD.
She was so amazing in the first 2-3 Months, just minor weird things,
like her wondering if my ex girlfriend was better than her, made me feel like something is wrong with her.
She was constantly asking me if she is crazy, for thinking about me and my ex girlfriend.
It got to the point, in which I said that I never really loved my ex. Yeah it's lying, but man she was so upset
and weird about it, that I thought it's better if I tell her that. After all, I just cared about her and not my ex girlfriend.

I was on eggshells early on, as you can see. There is a good quote from "Bojack Horseman: "You know, it's funny; when you look at someone through rose-colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags." She was so nice in the beginning,
really like a dream come true, so I didn't really notice it that much. 

There were many incidents after the lovebombing, in which I was asking myself what was going on:

• Extremely jealous. I had to block girls on socialmedia.

• She went through my browser history and my phone and demanded me to be okay with it.
  When I said to her that I don't feel comfortable, when she does that she got upset and accused me of hiding something from her.

• Whenever there was a sexscene in a movie, she would cover my eyes with her hand. It got to the point on which I just did it on my own,
   whenever there was a sexscene in movies.

• She stormed off in public, because of minor things. Some things didn't even make sense. She was once upset that I already ate without her.
  She got jealous, because I turned around and there was a girl behind us, so she thought I was checking her out. 
   
• Everytime she stormed off in public I would run after her and tell her to come back into the car, so that I can bring her home, but she refused.
  Eventually I drove home alone and got texts saying: "People ask me why I'm standing here all alone." So I picked her up, literally drove 10 extra kilometers for 
  no reason at all.

• She flirted with a guy via text just 20 days after we got together, but she always acted like I was the one that would do something like that. Projecting I guess.
  When I found out, she held a knife on her wrist and threatened to kill herself. So I forgot all about it, and told her it was okay. 

• She was always upset because of "criticism". She thought I was criticising her, when I was not. I just said something like: "Hey, if you do it like this, then it would be better."
   I think 3 times she got so upset that she attacked me, pulled my hair, punched me, screamed at me, while I was standing there defending myself. I never wanted to hurt her,
   but she got hurt when I defended myself. She got bruises, even though she was the one punching me. I just pushed her away. Whenever she had bruises she would send me 
   pictures of that, to make me feel bad I guess. Like how crazy is that? She hits me, and then blames me for accidentally hurting her, while I was defending myself?

• She always stormed out of the house and made us fight in the streets, which caused neighbors to drive by us and asking if everything was okay.

• Suddenly she decided she wants a baby, and getting married. 1 month later she tells me that she is not thinking about our future anymore. 2 Weeks after that, she tells me
that she made a mistake and she wants me back. 3 Days later she hates me again..and so on.

These are just a few things. I could write a whole book about all the nonsense/bad/abusive things she did.
