Out of curiosity, how is the bail amount a judge sets determined? Is there a formula? I looked on wiki but didn't see any specifics. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 30, 13:50 8
- "The amount of bail is determined by the local bail schedule, which is based on the seriousness of the offense." -- (link) - mara Jan 30, 13:55 1
  - Thanks! -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 30, 13:58

I'll admit, a majority of the people that shop at Wal-mart scare me. The people that shop there in the middle of the night - JaxSean Jan 30, 13:42 5
- Shopping at 1AM is great, and I'll tell you why. - kelly Jan 30, 13:44 4

      - Maybe photos are required there. Who knows? -- nm - TFox Jan 30, 13:45 8
        
        I think it's just cultural thing. They probably don't have the protocol we have here. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 30, 13:46
        
        I seem to recall that being the case. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 13:46
        
        Photos with resumes are customary in Argentina, where I'm from -- nm - con_carne Jan 30, 13:45 5
        
        it's not a bad custom, truthfully. -- nm - Andie Jan 30, 13:46 4
        
        I'm against the practice, because it allows even well-meaning people to discriminate based on looks -- nm - con_carne Jan 30, 13:50
        
        but a nice opportunity for a racist or sexist to toss out a whole pile of resumes. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 13:48 2
        
        oh, i know the reasons not too, but, is nice to have a face with a name. -- nm - Andie Jan 30, 13:55 1
        
        although I suppose you;re used to looking at headshots. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 13:59

  - Right? she obviously just doesn't know any better. -- nm - Andie Jan 30, 13:40 4
    - Plus it would be fun. You could be ultra-professional. - TFox Jan 30, 13:42 3
      - absolutely. she could be a mentor. Then, the girl will be become a multimillionaire in the business and give Andie a cash gift for making it - CrankYanker Jan 30, 13:44 1
        
        She will just need to wire $100000 American Dollars to serbia to facilitate wire transaction please. -- nm - TFox Jan 30, 13:45

Vegas might be a no go for me. ;-( Too many other things going on require what funds there are. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 30, 13:36 7

  - THAT would be awesome! It's the only way we made last year's. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 30, 13:40
  - Heh - I wonder how much it would cost to hire CY as a chauffeur for the weekend? -- nm - Roger More Jan 30, 13:40 1

- Is there a Vegas date? -- nm - ty97 Jan 30, 13:36 2

- Hey, it worked for Megan Fox. -- nm - David Jan 30, 13:34
- Is she hot? -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 30, 13:34
- take a chance on her. she could be the next Barbara Kopple -- nm - pigby Jan 30, 13:33 2
  - or perhaps Megan Fox ... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 13:34 1
    - sounds more like Sarah Palin. -- nm - CrankYanker Jan 30, 13:34
- I can't decide which part I like better, the picture or the "sincerely". - TFox Jan 30, 13:33 2
  - who needs capital letters or punctuation -- nm - Jerry Yank Jan 30, 13:37
  - But, she capitalized other things! i assumed she had limited english but her resume indicates she just graduated from film school in vancouver, so, - Andie Jan 30, 13:35

      - I've tried this before - most of the time I wind up throwing away food. - kelly Jan 30, 13:42 2
