Just because the recharging stations will be everywhere and be compatible, does not mean they will all be free to use.

The vehicle doesn't need to slide with the ABS, it just has a much longer stopping distance on snow than manual braking with locking the wheels up will give you.

But if you are only doing 5-7 MPH as you approach a stop sign you don't really need to worry about steering. Locking the brakes will plow the snow up in front of the tires and stop you much quicker than the ABS that keeps rolling right through the stop sign. In an emergency situation, keeping control of the vehicle by maintaining steering is a very valuable thing. In a non-emergency situation there are times where locking the brakes works better than keeping them rolling.

ABS allows you to keep steering while braking hard on slippery roads. In winter with snowy conditions it definitely makes the stopping distance longer than non-ABS braking. I stomped the brakes down completely and felt the truck just keep going with a very long braking distance. On a truck without ABS, I was able to stop in a much shorter distance. As for control and steering, I didn't need them, so it wasn't a big deal in this case. The locking up of the tires might have even helped the braking distance as the snow gets piled up in front of the tires as you slide.

If you check out the Lego Friends sets you will see that they now have mini-fig characters that have more shape to their body. The males and females have different body shapes and actual molded clothes. They are much more similar to Playmobile characters and now include lots of little extra parts like Playmobile has such as apples, crossaints, cups, etc. They made these to appeal to little girls as the rectangular characters didn't encourage girls imagination as much as the Playmobile characters did or something like that. The Disney Princess sets have very similar looking characters.

Yep, and lasers shoot themselves at airplanes.

I live in the Chicago area and have never heard about this pilot program for rewards. How could an un-announced program have any effect at all?

Or it shows how big of a tyrant the side that is trying to get him truly is, when that tyrant is the lesser evil!

Do you have a list of good math textbooks that I should look for. We are planning on homeschooling also. She is only 4, so the advanced mathematics material is still a ways away, but I would like to start getting prepared.

Well, Mexico is south of America! Everything south of America is a South American country, everything north of America is a North American country. That leads to everything east of America being an East American country and everything west of America being a West American country. See how simple that makes everything.

China uses tanks. Russia uses ricin and polonium. The US poisons them (Brittany Murphy) and tells the news that it was a drug overdose, or takes control of their car remotely (Michael Hastings) and drives it off the road at high speed. I am pretty sure there are many more very suspicious deaths of people that knew too much or asked the wrong questions. Hell, they can straight up shoot them and claim the officer was in the right as it was defensive or merely accidental.

They think they are immune to all sorts of repercussions. But past use of medical (vaccine) personnel to catch a terrorist (Osama Bin Laden) has led to large numbers of medical people being killed on sight. Now we are looking at the failure to permanently wipe out polio due to a short sighted administration and their desire for quick results.

Yeah, and getting the remote from the coffee table without having to sit up from the slumped back reclined position would be much easier with the force also. And that's to say nothing of the bag of chips all the way in the other room.

In Han's defense though, he does go on to say he has not seen any evidence that the force exists. Jedi had been almost wiped out at that point.

Your right, they look different. If you squint your eyes then a flare is formed. There are also flares around lights when your eyes are filled with tears. So, if the movie depicted them like these, would that be ok?

That has been tried. It didn't lead to a good situation and the country quit that effort eventually. That is what we are seeing is going to happen with pot. Making it illegal hasn't had a good outcome for the country and going the way alcohol did would be better.
