snarky meaning

The adjective snarky is first recorded in 1906. It is from dialectal British snark, meaning 'to nag, find fault with', which is probably the same word as snark, snork, meaning 'to snort, snore'.

If you are snarky in real life and therefore want to be snarky online for fun, great. This is about whether snarkiness makes for good business communication, and a comment on those that are striking a snarky pose in the arena of business blogging .

Snarky Kitten is the home of sarcasm, wit, and chocolate cake. I've learned that the only way to survive life is to find the humor in every day events. My last blog posting was in a tone that was a bit too snarky for my tastes. I was writing late, and tired - and that is never a good combination.

Star Trek Insurrection

Paramount is really taking a dump on this which is too bad because I screened the film in September and it is extraordinary. There's very little action, it's just this really compelling mystery/thriller that has perhaps the best Trek film script since Star Trek II. Paramount includes a theatrical trailer and a teaser trailer, which is nice. Why the trailers are in 1.85:1 while the movie is 2.35:1 I don't really know. Paramount has wisely seen fit to return to anamorphic widescreen with this DVD, and the quality improvement is significant. The color is excellent, and these films are always vibrant, colorful celebrations of production design.

Picard and the crew defy Starfleet orders and act to prevent the relocation. Picard is confronted with orders that undermine that decree. If he obeys, 600 peaceful residents of Ba'ku will be forcibly removed from their remarkable world, all for the reportedly greater good of millions who will benefit from Ba'ku's Fountain of Youth-like powers. Picard counters with the Federation's Prime Directive, which instructs that the natural development of any civilization must not be interfered with.

Commander Data runs amok and taken a cultural survey team hostage, his first concern is to save Data--who will have to be destroyed if he cannot be repaired. But when Picard investigates, he finds something strange about the Ba'ku, the race the survey team was observing. Commander Data (Brent Spiner ) seemingly goes berserk and attacks the survey team, exposing their existence to the populace and jeopardizing the mission. Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart ) brings the Enterprise into orbit to try and apprehend Data and find out what happened . Commander Data is part of an invisible crew that’s monitoring the progress of this civilization. Without warning, Data apparently goes berserk, firing on the other anthropologists and exposing himself and the other scientists to the unsuspecting civilization.

Colt McCoy

Colt McCoy has really turned it around this year and looks to be not only a versatile QB who can pass and run the ball, he looks to be the leader of the team on Offense. From those persons with whom I?ve spoken, he seems to be a sincere player who is strong in his beliefs and convictions. As soon as they flashed up to the stands in the middle of the Texas/Missouri game, I knew two things: the blonde was hot, and she must be Colt McCoy’s girlfriend. Turns out I was right (though I didn’t need confirmation about the former). Texas quarterback Colt McCoy went 17 for 19 for 185 yards with three passing touchdowns and racked up 84 yards and two touchdowns on the ground in the Longhorns' 52-10 victory over Arkansas. Oregon State running back Jacquizz Rodgers ran for 186 yards and two touchdowns in the Beavers' 27-21 upset over No.

Now any sane man would give up their state of birth and six years of life to be Colt McCoy out in Austin for a weekend. Colt McCoy had a conversation with Jim Rome earlier today, which does not in fact violate his religious beliefs as we initially reported since Rome is not technically, it turns out, a pimp. We sincerely apologize for the mistake. Rachel Glandorf is a track and field star at Baylor , a television reporter for a CBS affiliate in Austin, and the girlfriend of a lucky Texas QB named Colt McCoy. At first, I was a little baffled as to why Colt wasn't nailing every girl on campus at Texas.

He's the only player in the country with more than 100 yards in every game so far this season. McCoy, whose teammate Jordan Shipley won the AT&T All-America Player of the Week award in week seven, passed for 337 yards and two touchdowns, ran for two more and set a school record with 17 straight completions to lead the #1 Longhorns to a 56-31 victory over #11 Missouri. So now Colt wears his cousin's medals under his game jersey and dedicated his whole 2008/2009 season to. But yeah, that year you spent in the Coast guard was pretty important.

Jesse McCartney

In the all-important fourth quarter, Jesse McCartney came out of nowhere to nab the public's attention with his appearances on MTV's TRL and radio play lists. Jesse McCartney's video made it to TRL's prestigious "retirement home" after being voted into top 10 fifty times. You can listen before you download any of these mp3s.Jesse Mccartney's latest album is Departure which is released on 2008-05-20 from record manufacturer Hollywood Records. We are continuously updating our database for Jesse Mccartney mp3 downloads from Departure album release. With roles in his first two full-length films, 2005's Pizza and 2006's Keith , it looks like Jesse McCartney is set on conquering Hollywood as well.

Pop singer and actor Jesse McCartney was a child performer dynamo, singing on Broadway and landing an acting gig on All My Children before even joining his first boy band, a feat that came at the age of 12. McCartney returned to acting in 2004 with a role on the WB teen drama Summerland. Jesse McCartney has premiered a music video aimed to promote his new single "It's Over". It mainly tries to capture "something good time and the bad in the relationship" that a couple may be going through. Jesse McCartney : I would say this is an R&B influence record with a very contemporary melody and somewhat of an 80s throwback sound. There was so much personal growth that I knew I had to change it up for me to just be comfortable.

green bean casserole

One of my favorite Thanksgiving and holiday potluck dishes is green bean casserole. When I make it I like to use either fresh, or frozen green beans, not canned. In addition to the basic Campbell's Green Bean Casserole, we have always added 1 tsp. We have also added a can of sliced water chestnuts or sliced toasted almonds. Until I was 40, I never, once, in my life, tasted green bean casserole. Once I did, though, my life was never the same again.

It’s the one I would make, and it’d probably be the first green bean casserole I’d like. If you’re up for it, use the homemade fried onions from here to top it off. I really like your idea - it feels fresher and more alive than a green bean casserole. I have never had canned green beans - if I need some and they are not available in fresh I keep a bag of frozen ones in my freezer - but only fresh would do here. I can’t eat wheat, and now I can make something for everyone for Thanksgiving with this green bean casserole. I don’t think everyone understands how hard it can be to have diet restrictions and still have a meal with the entire family.

It is evident that green bean casserole has munched its way into the hearts of Americans everywhere. I never thought in a million years that I would post a recipe for any type of green bean casserole. This, however is a wonderful dish. Another option to give green bean casserole its creamy taste could be to use fat free sour cream and fat free milk. Margarine is of course the no brainer too.

Renee Haugerud predicts

Renee Haugerud, founder of a $2.5 billion commodity hedge fund predicts oil will be $80 a barrel within the next 12 months. Commodity and other prices are likely to fall further as consumer demand continues to wane world wide due to rising unemployment and declining property values. Finally, my MoneyMasters interview with hedge fund manager Renee Haugerud is currently available for viewing. Renee manages about $675 million in a commodities-based global macro fund. In the past six years Renee Haugerud's Galtere International Fund .has grown from $1 million in client capital to $1.5 billion by being in commodities.

After a burst of price gains in the 1970s, as inflation spun out of control, commodities turned cold. Gold has been a rotten investment for most of the time since 1980. Right now, they're both working to depress economic growth and cool rising inflation. He has been known to take positions in Turkish glassmaking stocks, Serbian construction stocks and inflation-index-linked housing bonds in Iceland. Today he says he has no dominant positions and cites certain themes such as insurance providers in emerging markets and food.

The Governing Council will continue to keep inflation expectations firmly anchored in line with its medium-term objective. In so doing, it supports sustainable growth and employment and contributes to financial stability.

Barbara Bush - tests were negative

Barbara Bush spent Tuesday night in a Houston, Texas, hospital after falling ill, according to a family spokeswoman. Former first lady Barbara Bush had complained of stomach pains, a family spokeswoman ststed.

Spokeswoman Jean Becker said Bush, 83, was admitted to Methodist Hospital for testing after complaining of stomach pain for several days.

She arrived at the emergency room at about 5:30 p.m. Central Time.

After feeling ill, Bush called her husband, former President George H.W. Bush, at his office urging him to take her to the hospital.

The former president's Secret Service detail drove them both to the hospital, Becker said.

Jim McGrath, a spokesman for Bush's husband said all of the tests were negative.

"She's fine," McGrath said.

Bush has been diagnosed with the thyroid condition Graves' Disease. It was not known whether the condition had any relation to her hospitalization on Tuesday.

Bush, the mother of President George W. Bush, was first lady during her husband's term as president from January 1989 to January 1993.
