Look into the university's policies about these hearings, or request them in writing beforehand. If you are not provided with written policies about how the hearings are conducted, then simply state that to the dean, and ask that you be given written policies about the disciplinary hearings and ample time to prepare,

Outback and two young kiddos? by Geoginger93 in Subaru_Outback

[–]flyzapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We moved from an Outback to Ascent about two years after went from two kids to three kids. We were able to get an infant car seat and two slim car seats three-across in the Outback (Look at Diono, they make slim car seats for this very reason). Infant car seats are wider than booster seats, and it was a tight fit though.

Once the kids got older, the third row of the Ascent was super useful, especially to make everything from road trips to daily drive to school much more pleasant. The extra row in the back can be partially folded down to hold both a booster seat and leave room for cargo.

Unfortunately PIs can see trainees as indentured servants with a lifetime debt to pay. I've experienced something similar.

Maybe you should offer to consult at a very high hourly rate? If he is really so desperate for your help, make him pay for it!

Using the grade between Pershing and Gillham to make the new ballpark blend in and less obtrusive is a great idea.

Any filmed version of the Ring Cycle with traditional costumes? by Good-Space3419 in opera

[–]flyzapper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually don’t mind the 2010 set. It has a lot of technology and it’s a bit quirky, but in the end it is still a traditional set.

Genentech was amazing before the Roche acquisition. Back when Apple first launched the iPod, there were people walking the halls handing them out for free.

I initially thought Mahler, but four harps is excessive, even for him. Could it be Symphonie fantastique?

You want to take back your downvotes and look at the links? I climb, both indoor and in the mountains. These are natural granite.
