If it ever does become possible to unrig the system, it will be because enough of us have come to agree about how it got that way and have set to work restoring our economic liberties in the same way they were whittled away: doggedly, democratically, one market and one jurisdiction at a time.

And while the process of formulating any strategic policy document is likely to involve plenty of 'blue-sky thinking' — thinking that never, ultimately, makes the cut as a bona fide policy pledge — it's nonetheless interesting to see how a very long-list of digital ideas has been whittled down and reshuffled into this set of "seven strands".

"When you've sat on that throne of power for hundreds of years and you see your throne legs being whittled down and now you're being lowered down to the level of the people that you consider inferior, it's really troubling and that's why you find a lot of these groups stepping up their recruitment efforts," Davis says.

The last time I made this cookie, I watched as friends reached across the table and whittled it down, as crumbs scattered and another hour went by, and I thought that perhaps I should design a new button, one that would say: Life is uncertain, so wait for dessert and then make it last... a long time.

Aberdeen's chief executive Martin Gilbert decried as "grossly exaggerated" certain weekend press reports that suggested the firms' combined headcount of around 9,000, mostly based between Edinburgh and London but with smaller outposts in scores of countries globally, would be whittled down by up to 1,000 employees and instead played up the cost efficiencies resulting from technical and operating platform rationalization.

But DC's 212 weeks got whittled down to eight weeks of parental leave for a new child, six weeks for family caregiving, and two weeks for personal medical leave (which is the most expensive benefit to insure because it happens most frequently, but also the one that workers are least likely to need for more than a week or two at a time).

According to Business Insider, the company implemented a so-called "trip wire" for keeping down costs to MoviePass—beginning with a multi-million dollar cap before being whittled down to "a few hundreds of thousand":MoviePass also enforced what it called a "trip wire," an automatic shutdown mechanism for all users that would be activated if MoviePass went past a certain amount balance.

Matt Browning's wall-mounted grid sculptures made of dowels the artist whittled from single pieces of wood to create interlocking grid structures adhered to a minimalist aesthetic, but the artist's labor-intensive process is subtly indicated by the dowels' lightly rigid textures: hard evidence of an ideal that resides behind the creation process and takes precedence over producing a flawless result.

The "Lakewood Six" (which had been whittled down to the "Lakewood Four" after the events of the show's sophomore season) will be no more, which means we'll never get to know if Emma (Willa Fitzgerald) ever figured out what the hell was going on at the James' farm, or if Noah would ever get a girlfriend that wasn't an early target of the town's serial killer.

The second half of the book comprises an experiment called an "album quilt," a montage of "fragments" of varying length from pieces done across the years, a mix of buffed and whittled snippets in which Joan Baez leads to Thomas Wolfe, and a profile of Barbra Streisand gives way to a disquisition on oared ships, and young Time magazine McPhee alternates with wise New Yorker McPhee.

There were two main defects in this "democratic" reform: First, before they were presented to the party's base, the number of candidates was "whittled down" by a series of ballots confined to sitting MPs; and, second, the party's base was no longer what it once was, having shrunk from its post-war high of almost 6900 million members to a post-war low of about 2628,28503.

Phil Booth scored 23 points, 17 in the first half but also adding a crucial three-point play late, as Villanova started quickly, cooled off late and had to hold off host Providence 33-59 on Saturday in Providence, R.I.

The White House then whittled down an initial proposed list for the official Presidential Delegation to the inauguration from over a dozen individuals to just five: Secretary Perry as its head, Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations Kurt Volker representing the State Department, National Security Council Director Alex Vindman representing the White House, temporary acting Charge d'Affaires Joseph Pennington representing the Embassy, and Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland.

To be fair to Yankovic and other enthusiastic star-getters, agreeing to a nomination doesn't guarantee that a celeb will be approved — the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce chooses who will be awarded a star, and they say that they get around 300 applications a year, which have to be whittled down to 20-24 recipients, and there are probably a ton of humble luminaries who don't think they'll actually be selected.

Pressing the single button on the side of the watch cycles through a selection of options for the OLED screen, including checking notifications and messages, but I quickly whittled it down to just two: one press to show me the date and time (useful when you want to know the time at night, since the watch face has no illumination of its own), and a second press to show me the day's step count.

In 1939, the commission's umpire, Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts (one of three justices to reject Japanese internment), and the American referee (his German counterpart had quit, claiming bias) awarded the owners of the Black Tom property and their insurance companies $21 million in damages and $29 million in interest, the largest settlement by an international tribunal (but whittled by inflation, competing liens and a claim fund bloated with German junk bonds).
