It's usually very reliable. Don't they all go down sometime?

Looks like it's back in ABQ! However, a big gap between 10:23 this morning and 4:20 this afternoon MT. Maybe they'll send the missing ones later. By the way, my Zoom calls for emails worked in the meantime.

That function is scheduled to be live at the end of August. Absentee ballots don't get sent out until at least Oct. 6 -- lots of time for requests to be processed.

Switzerland is there. Iceland and Greenland are not on Europe's list, but are on the "Global" one. All three are not in the European Union, or EU. I didn't know that Greenland had left -- the other two didn't join. Greenland warned the UK not to do it.

I think they have to keep the gates unlocked for fire safety. However, they could put in a security camera or annunciator. Of course, to be effective, someone would have to monitor them. Maybe 6-year-olds should be walked to the bathroom if the path is confusing. Or the way could be marked better.

Re: KANW Launches New HD Channel

mmeaders — Sun, 09 Jul 2017 14:32:00 -0000

Each station has its own schedule. The one-page printable one for the HD-2 station is shown above. The one for the regular KANW is elsewhere on this website. Look under "Programs" on the menu across the top of the page for the two program guides. Since the HD-2 station doesn't have hours of "NM Spanish Music", there is room for much more programming from NPR, PRI, and the BBC. You will also find familiar programs, but at different times, which is handy. And you will get two hours a weekday of 1A, the replacement for the Diane Rehm show. Enjoy!

You can listen to this on your regular radio at 107.5 on ABQ and the others listed at the top of the page. To listen to it while you are on your computer or in your car, just turn on the radio! Of course that assumes you are in New Mexico. Other states may have a similar thing. There is a lack of information on what radio stations are available and their formats in a given location, like driving across Northern Arizona.

Actually, legal immigrants are often high earners. We import many of our doctors, nurses, scientists and professors. Also, immigrants tend to work harder and commit fewer crimes.

Why can't he become a cop without serving two years as an Aide? I don't see a maximum age on the qualifications list. Sounds like he is well qualified. What about a physical test?

"Carlsbad Caverns National Park is a short drive away."
According to Bing: Distance from ABQ to Carlsbad Caverns: 317.6 mi (5 hrs 44 mins)

"Finding things to do in the ABQ"

It's Mountainair Ranger district, named for a nearby town.

It's Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument.

"Jemez Campgrounds" Maybe you mean campgrounds near Jemez Springs or Jemez Falls

Re: Discussion of: Betty White Sued by Former Caretaker

mmeaders — Fri, 25 Mar 2016 01:05:05 -0000

Until January 1, 2015, employers weren't required to pay minimum wage or overtime to live-in home health care workers. My guess is that either Betty didn't change to this in 2015, or the worker wants it to be retroactive. I have no idea how much Betty White could have afforded to pay.

Nice piece, but I don't think Congress has funded the Postal Service since 1968 or so. They have to raise their own operating money by selling stamps. Unfortunately, Congress gets to make them fund their health coverage for the next 75 years, which is why they are so squeezed.

I thought we were finally getting educational standards for this country, like probably every other country has had for years. It's called the Common Core, and apparently it is controversial.
