stray IR is most likely. I noticed once it did it at a scene change.

LDS, I'd say the latter. I had an exact same model that did the same but only a few times. slight power surge is interesting.

the only time we ever had a TV in the kitchen is the place I work now. primarily for sporting events but occasionally they turn on Netflix or Hells Kitchen which to me seemed really weird to watch television while you're trying to cook. but then again a lot of guys wear earphones so there's that going on whether it's telephone or or music. the boss recently disconnected the TV because one of the workers misplaced the remote which is universal remote for all the other TVs.

The comparers wanted to make Hitler understandable to their audiences by comparing him to known leaders, but according to historian Gavriel Rosenfeld the comparisons obscured Hitler's radical evil.

I think most commonly he was understood in terms of the "militaristic Prussian" tradition running back to Bismarck.

Though Hitler admired Bismarck, he distrusted the aristos, a few exceptions, Von Stauffenberg...By 1940, the Prinzenerlass was passed after Bismarck II grandson was killed.

Not at all. The plate is used by auction houses to Porter a vehicle to a location, sales lot or garage, for the most.

Since the state is unknown, the OP mentioned illegal with a possible medicine that works but to garner more medical information, could led to legal ramifications.
I suggest talking to other residents of your state; friends, family etc. This way you can gather information on the illegal aspect and how to protect your family if a CBD or equivalent is sustainable. I personally have heard success stories using cannabis and derivatives in related conditions.

AH HA, George Francis Train.

"As he aged, Train was considered to become more eccentric. In 1873 he was arrested and threatened with being sent to an insane asylum.

He stood for the position of Dictator of the United States, charged admission fees to his campaign rallies, and drew record crowds"

as a side note, is it common in ASK for the poster to answer their own question? I feel flippant for not researching more so apologies if I have wasted anyones time.

How large scale? For example the Bizerte crisis seems to fit the end criteria but not sure if you consider that large-scale.

The Cambodian civil war (75-79) fits I think. After some broader clashes, the Vietnamese took Phenom Pehn in a very short time.
posted to Ask MetaFilter by clavdivs at 3:39 PM on June 11, 2016 marked best answer

Actually, between 12 and 14 divisions and 3 regiments of Khmer. As you well know, the Vietnamese let these solders take Phenom Pehn before the Vietnamese army followed up. Yeah, a regiment is still large but so were most of the examples given, Falklands, Israeli incursions..those too included large amounts of solders. (Though not as large)

I guess a contrast would be Falklands and the Mayaguez incident. One involving ships and many troops and the latter, a couple hundred… [more]

Well, if you advertised AC and did not provide, that's false advertising and breach of contract.

The left out footage, esp. With Dick Helms ( Sam Waterson) is great.

Redford/Pitt in 'Spy game' is ok.

There is an oft mentioned film starring Ian Richardson and Anthony Hopkins called "Blunt" if only for Hopkins accurate portrayal.

And "The Bedford Incident". Poitier at his edgy smooth to the twitching Richard Widmark. Note some bridge sounds, you'll hear them in Lucas' film.

My history teacher told me the Vaccum cleaner actually created more work for women.

Both my parents were treated by veterinarians in thier youth, not an uncommon practice for minor ailments and stitches and broken bones.

When the hand crank was the only way to start the auto, people would create slogans, sayings or little prayers before cranking. An interesting study would be to examine the occurrences of broken arms and wrists when the push button/ keyed starter was introduced.
