In the face of the mass scabbing operation Royal Mail is attempting to organise under the cover of hiring its Christmas casuals early, the CWU needs to act quickly and decisively, and the labour movement should back it up on the picket lines.
Picketing should be stepped up on strike days. Union members should approach casuals and ask them to join the union and not cross picket lines. Membership should be offered free or at greatly reduced rates. It should be made clear to casuals that once they join the CWU they should join the strikes - and they have a right to do so. We should explain that postal workers have a quarrel with Royal Mail, not with the casual staff themselves, who are facing all the exploitation that management hopes to heap on permanent staff too: low wages, no job security, management bullying.
In addition to 'regular' workplaces where we picket, the union should find out where temporary scab delivery offices are being set up, big or small, and send delegations to picket and talk to the casual workers there.
Under regulation 7 of the 2003 Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations and the Employment Agencies Act 1973 it is illegal to knowingly supply workers to conduct duties normally performed by a worker who is taking part in industrial action. The CWU should encourage casuals in every office to get together and demand CWU vetting of all work they are asked to do to see if that work would break the law by strike-breaking.
The rest of the labour movement should give solidarity. Support committees should help posties picket scab delivery offices and discourage local jobseekers from signing up as strikebreakers. Student Unions should work to stop students from taking these jobs. PCS members working in Job Centres and the Department for Work and Pensions should demand their management check the legality of any Royal Mail or agency advertising for jobs in the post before they process those job offers.
What the Law Says:
2003 Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations.
"Regulation 7: Restriction on providing work-seekers in industrial disputes
Regulation 7(1) provides that an employment business may not supply a temporary worker to a hirer to replace an individual taking part in an official strike or any other official industrial dispute. In addition, an employment business must not introduce or supply a work-seeker to do the work of someone who has been transferred by the hirer to perform the duties of the person on strike or taking industrial action. An employment business will have a legal defence to having acted in breach of this regulation if it does not know, or has no reasonable grounds for knowing, that official strike action is in progress.
Regulation 7(2) provides that this regulation applies to official strike action only. In other words it does not apply to unofficial strike action."

Kira arranged to have Ziyal admitted to a Bajoran university in the care of her friends. There, she discovered a passion and talent for [[Painting|art]], through which she hoped to bring Cardassians and Bajorans closer together by showing that they have a common viewpoint. However, she was never truly accepted on Bajor either, since her father was the hated Gul Dukat. Soon after Dukat retook Deep Space 9, Ziyal spoke with him, and he told her he may have "overreacted" previously. Ziyal agreed to return with Dukat to the station; despite his actions, she was willing to forgive him, because living with her father had been the only time when she felt like she really belonged. Upon returning to the station, Ziyal was reunited with Kira and was very glad to see her. The two planned to have dinner that evening, to catch up and share news, but Dukat insisted the three have dinner in his quarters, to Kira's dismay. At dinner that evening, Ziyal shared some of the paintings she had done with her father and Kira. Both were very impressed with her talent in rare agreement, for they rarely agreed on anything but the fact that they both loved and cared for Ziyal.

IWA Restoration Committee Survey of Waterway Restoration Schemes
In summer 2009, IWA's former Restoration Committee distributed a survey questionnaire to voluntary bodies concerned with waterway restoration and construction schemes in the United Kingdom, the vast majority being IWA Corporate Members. A similar survey was made in 2002.
Over 90% of restoration bodies responded. The analysis of the factual information provided gives some useful information about the scale and growth of waterway restoration as well as indicators of which policies might be of benefit and of 'what the others do'.

Press Releases
January 2017
"Still Testifying"
"The Reconciliation?"
"How Do You Plead?"
For what began life as something of a side project for Michael Weston King & Lou Dalgleish, a labour of love, a homage to the classic country duets of the 60's and 70's , My Darling Clementine is now very much part of the country and Americana landscape. 3 critically acclaimed albums, over 700 shows across Europe and N. America, numerous accolades and awards has placed the band at the forefront of the burgeoning Americana scene
The debut "How Do You Plead?" was produced by Neil Brockbank (Nick Lowe) and featured some of London's finest musicians from the 70's pub rock era. Players who understood 'classic country'. Released in 2011, it was immediately acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic. Country Music People called it; "The greatest British country record ever made" while American Songwriter stated "this is as authentic as anything out of Nashville or Texas…A batch of superb C&W corkers."
Such praise led to a US record deal and invitations to appear at the Americana Music Association in Nashville and SXSW in Austin in 2013
2013s follow-up, "The Reconciliation," produced by Colin Eliot (Richard Hawley, Duane Eddy) and featuring guest appearances from Kinky Freidman and The Brodsky Quartet only enhanced the bands growing reputation and received a similar critical response. Uncut exclaimed; "The husband-and-wife duo serve up more countrified duet thrills…on this form, it's a winning formula that looks set to run and run," while in the States the New York Daily News choose it as album of the week while Popmatters put it in their Top 10 Country Albums of 2013.
Their next move was a slight departure as they the collaborated with best selling crime writer, and avowed country music fan, Mark Billingham on the 'story and song' project, The Other Half.
Billingham writing a noirish tale of lust, murder and betryal based around 8 King and Dalgleish songs. The Other Half became an album, an audio book, and a stage show and featured contributions from actor David Morrisey and singer songwriter Graham Parker.
After 18 months of touring The Other Half , Michael and Lou returned to the studio for album no. 4. Re-uniting with producer Neil Brockbank, Still Testifying was released in the summer 2017. Stylistically, it was further shifting away from classic country to embrace gospel and country soul and was widely acclaimed with their new direction being praised by fans and critics alike;
…'more Delaney & Bonnie than George & Tammy. It's a triumph' Mojo
'where gospel, country and southern soul happily collide… it is terrific.' UnCut
Never ones to stand still, work is already under way on the next project. A series of EP's, entitled "Country Darkness" it sees them reinterpreting the country and country soul songs of one of their mentors, Elvis Costello. The recordings also feature long term Elvis right-hand man. piano maestro, Steve Nieve. Country darkness Vol. 1 will be released in October 2019 on Fretsore Records.

Bauks are a large albino bear-like creatures that inhabit the rugged foothills of Vaettirhelm. They are bipedal and vaguely humanoid although they drop down on all fours when running. Vicious hunters with an insatiable appetite, Bauks are known for preying on Olbishim children. They are nocturnal and are severely adverse to the light, making fire an apt way to dispatch of them.

The seas and oceans are under pressure from many directions, and for years, scientists and environmentalists have been warning the decision makers and public about climate change, ocean acidification and the loss of biodiversity.
It seems that as long as we don't feel the problems on our own skin, whether it is a tsunami, a pandemic or other catastrophe, we are not taking these warnings seriously. More than 31,000 species are threatened with extinction. Does humanity also need to get on the verge of extinction before we take real action?
The last few months showed us just how fragile we are as a species. That a virus 65–125 nm in diameter can devastate our lifestyle and entire economies and bring powerful countries to their knees. This crisis also showed that the world can be a better place when human activities are at a minimum. With cleaner air and cleaner waters, nature is rejoicing and some of the other "stakeholders" on this planet are regaining some of their legitimate space. Can we learn from this crisis and make a more equitable planet? That is the question!
Having clean and healthy seas and oceans is not just a romantic idea of the idealistic conservationists: our lives depend on it! Having compassion and love for marine animals whether they are beautiful or not, playful or potentially dangerous, is important, since they all have a crucial role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems.These ecosystems secure the livelihood for millions of fishermen around the world. They also provide clean air for billions of people: 70% of the oxygen we breathe is produced by the seas and oceans. We cannot wait for governments or the industries or the conservationists to save the planet. We all have a responsibility. We need to reconsider the choices we make, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the waste we produce… Every small act we do has an impact on the environment, on our health and on our future.
Let's build a new, sustainable future, together. Learn how you can be part of our campaign.

Space of the Cooperative Members – Newsletter of Serro's Cooperative of Rural Producers – Year 0 – N° 02
Do you have any question? Ask someone who understands!
Did you know that it is possible without major investments to improve the productivity of your farm? This is the specialty of Jenner Missiagia da Silva, Exagro's Consultant; and he is available to help members of the cooperative. "Planning and management turns milk cattle in a resistant activity to market uncertainties," indicates the layout of Exagro, a livestock consulting firm with more than 15 years on the market.
Cooperserro has partnered with Exagro to promote development on the farms of its associated members with support and allowance to the hiring of consultancy. The work begins with visits to the property to study characteristics such as soil, relief, condition of pastures, planting areas, level of herd production, structure of fences and water availability, equity in machines, leasehold improvements and cattle. It is also evaluated all economic and financial history, herd evolution, human resources and marketing conditions. With all data in hands, Exagro technicians make a diagnosis and suggest corrective actions and investments to improve profitability.
"We do a monthly monitoring of the properties to guide producers in the implementation of the new control system and suggested improvements," says Jenner.
Exagro works in all stages of the production system and management of properties, since the current situation diagnosis and technical and economic feasibility study until regular monitoring, technical and administrative guidance. "Our focus is preservation and enhancement of heritage, with the best economic result possible, within the goals and aspirations of the owner", says Jenner.
Investment brings results as evidenced by Fábio Nascimento Varejao, client since 2005, in testimony to the Exagro Web site: "Exagro taught me to see my farm as a business and nowadays they help me with strategic decisions." Eronilson Afonso dos Santos, client since 1999, says the consulting increased productivity in his farm "Exagro clarified the actual expenditure and revenue and even designed the future of my property."

In the course of the formulation of coated dosage forms, selection of the suitable composition of the coating system is essential as regards dosage form. Since the systems applied for coating are multicomponent, it is highly important to quantitatively evaluate the possible interactions between the components. These interactions determine the physico-chemical stability of the formulated dosage form, the drug release process and the formulation parameters, as well. In the present study molar refraction values of polymer dispersions were determined for the quantitative estimation of polymer-plasticizer interactions. Dynamic surface tension measurements, differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction studies were applied to analyse the possible interactions between the polymer and the selected plasticizer. The results indicate that the calculation of molar refraction values of polymer dispersions containing plasticizer offers useful means for the determination of the optimum concentration of the selected plasticizer.

I have created a circle body class, but in game my player body just passes through it. the circle will not move, only rotate.
however when i create the circle body just straight up, raw in the game1 load content method, without using a personalised class, it works. so im thinking i have done something wrong but i cant for the life of me spot it.
here are the two different implementations, the first is the class and its instance in the game1 class, THAT doesn't want to move the circle around or collide properly, the second is the classless implementation directly in the load content method of the game1 class.
class CircleBody
Texture2D Texture;
Vector2 Origin;
Vector2 Position;
public Body Circle;
public CircleBody(Texture2D texture, Vector2 position, World world)
this.Texture = texture;
this.Origin = new Vector2(this.Texture.Width / 2f, this.Texture.Height / 2f);
this.Position = new Vector2(ConvertUnits.ToSimUnits(position.X), ConvertUnits.ToSimUnits(position.Y));
Circle = BodyFactory.CreateCircle(world, ConvertUnits.ToSimUnits(56 / 2), 1f, this.Position);
Circle.BodyType = BodyType.Dynamic;
Circle.Restitution = 0.3f;
Circle.Friction = 0.5f;
public void Draw(SpriteBatch spriteBatch)
spriteBatch.Draw(this.Texture, ConvertUnits.ToDisplayUnits(this.Position), null, Color.White, this.Circle.Rotation,
this.Origin, 1f, SpriteEffects.None, 0f);
here is the above class instanced and implemented in the game1 class:
CircleBody CircleBody;
Texture2D CircleTexture;
Load Content Method:
CircleTexture = Content.Load<Texture2D>("Player");
CircleBody = new CircleBody(CircleTexture, new Vector2(400, 300), world);
it just doesn't work :(,
HOWEVER it works perfectly when I create it in a different way, as in not through my own class, but raw within the game1 class. here is the code.
Texture2D playerTex;
Vector2 playerOrigin;
Body player;
LoadContent Method
playerTex = Content.Load<Texture2D>("Player"); //
playerOrigin = new Vector2(playerTex.Width / 2f, playerTex.Height / 2f);
/* Circle */
Convert screen center from pixels to meters
Vector2 playerPosition = ConvertUnits.ToSimUnits(screenCenter);
Create the player fixture
player = BodyFactory.CreateCircle(world, ConvertUnits.ToSimUnits(56 / 2), 1f, playerPosition);
player.BodyType = BodyType.Dynamic;
player.Restitution = 0.3f;
player.Friction = 0.5f;
spriteBatch.Draw(playerTex, ConvertUnits.ToDisplayUnits(player.Position), null, Color.White, player.Rotation,
playerOrigin, 1f, SpriteEffects.None, 0f);
The first method through the class is obviously the cleaner and perfect way i want to implement the creation of a circle based body sprite combination, but i dont understand why the sprite is not moving, or collidable or seemingly alive in the simulation.
and i really dont see why it works raw in game1 class.
i really hope you can help!!! im sooooo stuck

The clean dozen: 12 Tesco Ireland suppliers pledge to cut food waste
Irish firms including Aryzta and Keelings join retailer's scheme to reduce waste by 50%

Twelve major own-label suppliers of Tesco Ireland have pledged to substantially cut food waste, as part of a scheme run by the retailer to halve its food waste by 2030 in line with United Nations targets.
The dozen companies have pledged to measure their food waste and publish the data regularly, beginning next year.
They have also committed to adopt measures to reduce wastage, as part of Tesco's promise to implement its own 50 per cent cut. Tesco has adopted UN sustainable development goal 12.3, which calls for a reduction by half in farm-to-fork food waste over the next decade.
The local effort is part of a wider group-level food waste reduction initiative at Tesco, with participants already including major suppliers such as Kerry Group and Greencore. Tesco's group chief executive Dave Lewis will give a talk on food waste in New York on Tuesday to coincide with the UN Climate Action Summit.
Signed up
The dozen Irish suppliers who have signed up include Aryzta's Dublin bakery, as well as the Stapleton's bakery in Tipperary and Panelto in Longford. Fresh produce suppliers include potato grower Country Crest, the Dublin operation of Total Produce, and fruit distributor Keelings.
Poultry and meat suppliers among the 12 include Manor Farm, Ballymaguire Foods, Mayo's Western Brand poultry, meat company O'Brien's Fine Foods in Kildare, Larry Goodman's ABP meat group, and Hilton Meats in Louth.
Denise Foley, national accounts manager at Country Crest, who is charge of the Tesco account, said its initiatives may include boosting the amount of so-called "wonky veg" that is handed over to food charities if it doesn't meet the specific size or shape requirements of retailers.
Tesco operates a wonky veg scheme using a group called Food Cloud, which collects it from producers and passes it on to charities who distribute the fresh food to needy cases.
Recycled water
Ms Foley said Country Crest, which employs 150 staff at its 2,500-acre north Dublin growing facility, already uses 80 per cent recycled water and gets 50 per cent of its power from wind turbines on its land holdings.
"We are due to attend a workshop with other members of the 12 in coming weeks to discuss more ideas," she said.
Richard Bruton, the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment, said the Tesco food waste initiative would have a "significant impact" and such measures would help Ireland achieve its climate targets.
Kari Daniels, Tesco Ireland's chief executive, promised to intensify its efforts to tackle food waste "across the supply chain – both at branded and own-brand levels".

Poisoned toothpaste and exploding phones: New book chronicles Israel's '2,700' assassination operations
Intelligence correspondent Ronen Bergman persuades Mossad agents, Shin Bet and military personnel to disclose their stories on state-sponsored killings
Israel has demonstrated little to the world over its brief history beyond the fact that it is capable of succeeding as a criminal state. It has flourished on lawlessness and criminal activity of every description.
Assassinations, kidnappings, torture, illegal imprisonment, theft, terrorism, starting wars with every neighbor it has, using banned weapons, making nuclear weapons, making chemical weapons, proliferation of nuclear weapons (with apartheid South Africa), blackmailing other states, and more.
The record is simply appalling, and the world cannot go on saying everything is okay because of what some other criminals did in a different country on a different continent three-quarters of a century ago. That cannot be an excuse for decades of new terror and lawlessness.
All people everywhere are capable of sinking into corruption and criminal behavior if they are subject to no standards, no oversight, no checks and balances, and no penalties for wrongdoing. And add to that, allowed to function under the general acceptance of a terrible principle that anything can be excused owing to events of another place and era and people.
When I think of the way our establishment regards Israel, blind to all the terrible things done in its name, I am reminded of J Edgar Hoover whose FBI in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, simply refused to acknowledge that organized crime existed in the United States.
He spent all of his considerable resources chasing non-existent communists.
But organized crime did exist, and in a big way. And it grew and flourished precisely because of the way Hoover ignored it.
Turns out that old J. Edgar (who was a closeted gay and a cross-dresser) had been badly compromised by the Mob.
The Mob apparently had compromising photos of him.
J. Edgar and his companion, Clyde, also used to like vacationing at some Mob-run resorts, where they received all kinds of special treatment, including tips on how to successfully bet at the Mob-run race track. Here was the country's chief law-enforcement officer accepting betting tips from the Mafia.
Now, does that remind us of anything?
As, for example, the badly compromised American Senate, Congress, and President – all of whom are completely blind to the crimes Israel perpetrates in the Mideast? People who, if they stopped accepting bribes and favors, could quickly straighten out one of the world's worst ongoing injustices?

Hello, people on the internet. Welcome to yet another introductory blog post.
Obviously, this blog is about RPGs. It's likely going to be discussions about systems and GMing. I'll likely share some of the mook-stat blocks that I have used in my games, races for settings that I've made, ideas on how things may shape settings, how settings shape campaigns, etc. -- basic GM-blog fare. I can't say as of yet what my post-frequency will be. I imagine that at least once every other month I will have posted and entry into the blog, but there will probably be a period of a few days where I make many posts centered around a theme or a game that I'm very excited about. If you read blogs or write blogs, you'll know what I mean. The genre of the material will vary, as well. I enjoy both science fiction (space opera, hard scifi (both conservative and radical)) and fantasy. A fun and interesting (but exhausting) genre is the fusion of fantasy and scifi.
I have played a number of different games, including Shadowrun 5e, oWoD Vampire the Masquerade, D&D 4e (once). I have run Pathfinder and GURPS. I don't particularly enjoy running Pathfinder anymore since it can too easily become too much of a crunchy war-game catered to rules-lawyers and power-gamers, but I'm not turning my nose up at it -- I still play it occasionally. I have been running a fantasy GURPS game for roughly half a year at this point and I have been preparing various GURPS games, ranging from a TL 9 radical hard scifi game based, roughly, on a combination of The Expanse and Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy. I have also been investigating several other systems, including Stu Venable's Moment of Truth RPG, Basic RolePlaying, Burning Wheel, and the various incarnations of Traveller, but primarily the Cepheus Engine (CE). CE has been my new shiny, of late, so you can expect a few posts on how I have been hacking the system. You might see a post on how not to hack, when you might realize you're making redundant changes.
I have a blog besides this one that basically serves the same function. I've decided to switch most of my content over to Blogger, though. The blog is the Lumaras Chronicle. It's named after the world I first created for a Pathfinder campaign. I still run games in that world, though they're in GURPS now. I have been putting out a slow but steady stream of content mostly based around Lumaras. As I got interested in other genres and games, though, I started posting about those interests as well. Finally, I've decided to start a separate blog about RPGs and my other games. I'll leave the Lumaras Chronicle to Lumaras, as well as the odd tiny posts as befits tumblr. I might include a few posts about Lumaras on this blog, but they will likely: be a broader overview of a portion of the setting, focus on the systematic aspects of the setting, or be the result of my decision to abandon tumblr completely and reroute its content here (not sure how likely that is, though -- tumblr has a purpose to save).
Finally, I feel I should explain what "Provinto" is. It's an alias I've been using for a year or two. Well, that was quick. It's esperanto and means "one who has tried." Sound bleak? Well, what can I say? At least I tried.

| "You have no idea what you've just started."
— Spoilers for Deus Ex Universe: Children's Crusade follow!
Pavel Mikulski is a Central European politician and a member of the European Parliament, active in 2029. He is radically opposed to augmentation technologies, and is behind numerous pieces of legislation meant to regulate or outright ban mechanical augmentations.
Biography Edit
Pavel Mikulski believes that since mechanical augmentations are an experimental new technology, they should be tightly regulated as with other new technologies. He claims that augmented people view "naturals" as inferior, and that if they do not act to restrict them, naturals will be proving the augmented right.[1]
According to Adam Jensen, Pavel Mikulski is not out to save humanity as he claims to be. Jensen opines that Mikulski simply wants augmented people "lined up against a wall and shot."[2]
Mikulski appears on Titus King's Picus TV show multiple times. During one such interview just outside Glasshütte in Dresden, Germany, a group of augmented terrorists attack and take King hostage. It is later revealed that Mikulski is involved in influencing attacks like this in collaboration with other Illuminati members as the first part of their larger plan to introduce the Human Restoration Act.[3] This act aims to severely restrict the rights of augmented people.
However, despite being an Illuminati member, he appears to hold a lower status than the ones he collaborates with. When he asks what they should call the future initiative, saying he has a few ideas, the others inform him they've already decided on a name.

Building Up or Pulling Down?
Reading: Ephesians Ch.2v11-18.
Kenneth Humphries
In Ephesians Ch.2v1-10 we very soon, in our reading, come to understand that the passage is speaking of an "Amazing Dispositional Turn-A-Round" which can take place in human nature. We were dead and became alive, we were deluded and became wise, we were disobedient and became obedient, we were defiled and became clean, and we were doomed but became saved all because "God who is rich in mercy" took a part in providing what could make an amazing dispositional turn-a-round when we believed on his name.
Now though in Ephesians Ch.2v11-18 Paul is reminding us there is an "Amazing Dispensational Turn-A-Round" which must take place in human nature.
For people as technologically advanced as we are, we certainly haven't learned much morally. While we can put men on the moon, we can't seem to cause them to get along together. While we can safely hang millions of tones of material in space and trust it to stay up there we cannot take a walk in the park and trust others to be as dependable. Heart transplants are commonplace, but hearts of compassion are growing increasingly rare. Instead of tearing down the walls of hostility between us, we have been erecting them with care. Do we think these walls help us? We must, for we certainly spend a great deal of effort building and mending them.
Where many Christians are concerned Christ is little more than an idea, or at best an ideal--He is not a fact. Millions of professed believers talk as if He were real and act as if He were not. Our actual position is always to be discovered by the way we act, not by the way we talk.
A.W. Tozer in This World: Playground or Battleground? Christianity Today, Vol. 35, no. 2
The history of humankind is filled with the hostility of one person against another. Our text today deals with the hostility between Jew and Gentile. But one doesn't need to read a document written 2,000 years ago to be aware of racial and cultural hostility. All one has to do is pick up the daily newspaper. Recent events have underscored the stark realities that walls are still standing strong and high. It seems we have grown very adept at building walls of prejudice and hostility between ourselves and those we deem to be not like us. Wherever and whenever there is the "us and them" mentality, we see the walls start to go up. It's something we battle against continually within the Church of Jesus Christ.
What are the walls you have erected between "you" and "them?" What are the walls of prejudice, which separate "you" from "others?" Do you want those walls torn down? If so, how can they be torn down? Disunity among God's own people has always been a special heartache to God. In His intercessory prayer for His disciples in John 17, Jesus prayed, on three occasions that they would be one (vv11, 21, 22) and again "that they may be perfected in unity" (v23). Did you know this is one prayer we can answer for Jesus! We have been given the unity of the Spirit at Salvation and that's a fact, but Paul reminds us there must be an "endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace" (Ephesians Ch.3v4).
In his book "The Cross of Peace" Sir Philip Gibbs writes:
"The problem of fences has grown to be one of the most acute that the world must face. Today there are all sorts of zigzag and crises-crossing fences running through the races and peoples of the world. Modern progress has made the world a neighbourhood and God has given us the task of making it a brotherhood. In these days of dividing walls of race and class we must shake the earth anew with the message of Christ, in whom there is neither, bond or free, Jew nor Greek, Scythian nor Barbarian, but all are one in Christ Jesus." End Quote!
We are busy these days with all kinds of union and unification trying to get the saints to work together, but what is desperately needed is unity, and that only comes from heart fellowship with Jesus Christ. You see dear saint of God He is the bread of life, all the vitamins and calories our souls requires are in Christ. He is Alpha and Omega and all the letters in between. It will not happen with us administering our own medication. You simply make up your own rules as you go, be assured it will not work that way. The Bible says we are complete in Him! Christianity is not a cafeteria where you walk down the line deciding what you like and leave what you dislike. He has given his all for us, can we do anything other than take all he gave.
As John Wesley rode across Hounslow Heath late one night, singing a favorite hymn, he was startled by a fierce voice shouting, "Halt," while a firm hand seized the horse's bridle. Then the man demanded, "Your money or your life." Wesley obediently emptied his pockets of the few coins they contained and invited the robber to examine his saddlebags which were filled with books. Disappointed at the result, the robber was turning away when evangelist cried, "Stop! I have something more to give you." The robber, wondering at this strange call, turned back. Then Wesley, bending down toward him, said in solemn tones, "My friend, you may live to regret this sort of a life in which you are engaged. If you ever do, I beseech you to remember this, 'The blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanseth us from all sin."' The robber hurried silently away, and the man of God rode along, praying in his heart that the word spoken might be fixed in the robber's conscience. Years later, at the close of a Sunday evening service with the people streaming from the large building, many lingered around the doors to see the aged preacher, John Wesley. A stranger stepped forward and earnestly begged to speak with Mr. Wesley. What a surprise to find that this was the robber of Hounslow Heath, now a well-to-do tradesman in the city, but better still, a child of God! The words spoken that night long ago had been used of God in his conversion. Raising the hand of John Wesley to his lips, he affectionately kissed it and said in tones of deep emotion, "To you, dear sir, I owe it all." Wesley replied softly, "Nay, nay, my friend, not to me, but to the precious blood of Christ which cleanseth us from all sin."
James S. Hewett, Illustrations Unlimited (Wheaton: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc, 1988) p. 50.
1. An Invitation Through The Blood! v11-13:
a. Think About Our Natural State: v11-12:
"Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world" Ephesians Ch.2v11-12).
Paul reminds them they had no Covenant Relationship with the God of Israel v11.
The hostility between Jew and Gentile is a well-documented fact. To the Jews, there were only two classes of people --- Jews and Gentiles. To be a Jew was to be one of God's chosen people. To be a Gentile was to be a heathen dog --- worth nothing. In fact, the Jews said that the Gentiles were created by God to be fuel for the fires of hell. The Jews looked with disdain and contempt at all Gentiles. And, it might be added, that the Gentiles didn't have the warm fuzzes for the Jews either. Both hated the other.
Paul calls this to mind when he says that the Gentiles in the flesh were called "Uncircumcision" by the so-called "Circumcision." Actually, this was a kind of curse thrown at the Gentiles by the Jews. You will recall that circumcision was the sign and seal of the covenant God made with Israel. Every male would be circumcised when he was eight days old. This was a symbol of the covenant relationship between God and Israel. The Gentiles, of course, were not circumcised. So when the Jews called them "Uncircumcision" (literally foreskin), it was simply another way of saying that they were inferior. After all, God had accepted the Jews, and the Gentiles had not. This, in the minds of many, gave them a right to hate the Gentiles. And they could justify this hatred by pointing out many reasons for it. The Gentiles were truly God rejecters. In fact, Paul reminds them that they were in a hopeless condition. He describes this condition negatively in five ways.
Paul secondly reminds them they had no Commonwealth Relationship with the God of Israel v12. He says that you were at that time separate from Christ --- they were without Christ. He goes on to say they were excluded from a commonwealth of Israel --- they were without citizenship in God's kingdom. They were strangers to the covenants of promise) they were without covenants to assure their future. He concludes by saying that they were in the position of having no hope and without God in the world --- the Gentiles were without hope and without God. This was the Gentile situation. To the Jews they had rejected God, which indeed they had, and the Jews rejected them.
b. Think About Our New State! v13:
"But now in Christ Jesus ye who were sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ".
Some people see education as the anchor of civilization, but it was the best educated nation on earth that gave birth to the Nazis. Some see health as an anchor for life, but much of the work in the world is being done by people who don't feel like doing it. Some see stability in wealth--it is their anchor. They may have an experience similar to that of the ship Marine Electric, which sank off the coast of Virginia early in 1983, costing the lives of thirty-one sailors. The reason was this: the ship's eight-ton anchor came loose and battered the hull of the ship until the ship went down. The vessel was destroyed by its own anchor. If wealth is your anchor, it may destroy you. Our hope in Christ is the only unfailing anchor for the soul.
Robert C. Shannon, 1000 Windows, (Cincinnati, Ohio: Standard Publishing Company, 1997).
So near, so very near to God
Nearer I cannot be;
For in the person of His Son
I am as near as He. (Gatesby Paget)
Such a powerful anchor and such a precious nearness is possible only through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus. The crucifixion of Christ was the ultimate expression of man's hatred of God but God turned the cross work of Christ into the greatest manifestation of God's love and kindness imaginable to human kind.
Once we were far off from God groping in the deepest of darkness to find our way but when we were yet a great way off, the Father saw us and had great compassion upon us. He ran and welcomed us into His family through His son Jesus Christ and now, praise God we are made near to God for every more.
2. A Unification Through The Body! v14-18:
a. There Is A Peace That Is Procured: v14-16:
"For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; and that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby".
Not only an invitation through the blood but now; he is speaking of unification through the body. That is the body into which we have been called, the Church of Jesus Christ. So a dividing wall of hostility had been erected. Paul speaks of this barrier of the dividing wall in verse 14. This wall of hostility found its expression in a physical wall surrounding the Temple. In Herod's Temple there was separating wall between the area in which a Jew was allowed and the area designated for the Gentiles. There were inscriptions placed along the wall, which warned the Gentiles to proceed no further. These inscriptions read in part, "Anyone who is caught doing so will have himself to blame for his ensuing death." This dividing wall symbolized the hostility between Jew and Gentile. But just as Frost described in his poem, "Something there is that doesn't love a wall, that wants it down." Actually, the "something" is "Someone."
A man purchased a white mouse to use as food for his pet snake. He dropped the unsuspecting mouse into the snake's glass cage, where the snake was sleeping in a bed of sawdust. The tiny mouse had a serious problem on his hands. At any moment he could be swallowed alive. Obviously, the mouse needed to come up with a brilliant plan. What did the terrified creature do? He quickly set to work covering the snake with sawdust chips until it was completely buried. With that, the mouse apparently thought he had solved his problem. The solution however, came from outside. The man took pity on the silly little mouse and removed him from the cage. No matter how hard we try to cover or deny our sinful nature, it's fool's work. Sin will eventually awake from sleep and shake off its cover. Were it not for the saving grace of the Master's hand, sin would eat us alive.
Laura Chick: Denver, Colorado. Leadership: Vol. 9, no. 4.
Not only are barriers broken down but we discover a new bond is established. As already indicated the church is uniting body that welds us together. There are no divisions based on racial origins, religious backgrounds, class distinctions, national boundaries, or colour prejudices, we are all one in Christ Jesus. Perhaps we only see this truth faintly right now because of our human failings. But we need to understand this; there is an eternal truth which will stand for all to see, in the counsels of God the church will be finally seen as that "one new man" mentioned here by Paul in v15. I am aware that imperfect sightings of that truth can be identified today as we look across the world but Oh my, how we need to work at building this wonderful bond between believers which I am certain was our dear Lord's desire, that we would be seen in this world as those who love one another.
b. There Is A Peace That Is Proclaimed: v17-18:
"And He came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near; (Ephesians Ch.2v17).
All difference is gone now, the Gentiles were afar off; the Jews were near but both were equally lost. They were at war not only with each other but also with God. Then peace was proclaimed through the blood of Christ and all differences were removed. Listen to the Apostle Paul, "There is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans Ch.3v22-23).
The smug and surly older brother was just as lost and the younger prodigal. One was afar off, the other was near, but both were estranged from the father and needed to be reconciled. The differences in them were displayed in their outward expressions of pride, self-will and rebellion. They both had the same inner need of forgiveness and grace. The Gospel reduces us all to the one level.
Only through Christ can the walls of prejudice come down. Christ came to break down the walls that divide us. Through Christ's work those who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. When Christ came He made Himself the basis for peace. No longer are we to relate to God based on the Law of commandments contained in ordinances. He has abolished that by His death on the cross. Now both Jew and Gentile alike; can come to Him that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace.
You see, there seems to be a tendency within us, probably inherited from Adam, not only to hide from God, but to hide from one another as well. There is a tendency to be suspicious of one another. There is a tendency to judge one another. There is a tendency to build walls to separate "us" from "them." But Christ has come to bring us together in Him. And in Christ there is absolutely no reason why we can't come together. No reason except our disobedience to Him.
He has done away with arbitrary divisions. There is now no division based on race, nationality, age, education, sex, or culture. In Christ the barriers are down. But let me reiterate, only through Christ can the walls of prejudice come down. But in Him they do, and they must!
Are there things, which separate you from other believers in Christ? If there are, then perhaps it is true that you or they have not found a living relationship with Christ who is your peace. We can be sure that the, things which separate us as believers, have not been placed there by God. Good fences do not make good neighbours. The God of reconciliation has come to break down the walls, which, separate us. Frost remarks in his poem: "Before I built a wall I'd ask to know, what I was walling in or walling out." You must be careful not to wall out the presence of Christ, and not to wall yourself in and find you have built your own prison of prejudice. Christ has come to set us free. Christ has come to make us one. Yet so many believers are in bondage!
A pastor was once asked to define "Faithful Attendance at Worship," and this was his reply: All that I ask is that we apply the same standards of faithfulness to our church activities that we would in other areas of our life. That doesn't seem too much to ask. The church, after all, is concerned about faithfulness. Consider these examples: If your car started one out of three times, would you consider it faithful? If the paperboy skipped Monday and Thursdays, would they be missed? If you didn't show up at work two or three times a month, would your boss call you faithful? If your refrigerator quit a day now and then, would you excuse it and say, "Oh, well, it works most of the time." If your water heater greets you with cold-water one or two mornings a week while you were in the shower, would it be faithful? If you miss a couple of mortgage payments in a year's time, would your mortgage holder say, "Oh, well, ten out of twelve isn't bad"? If you miss worship and attend meetings only often enough to show you're interested but not often enough to get involved are you faithful?
James S. Hewett, Illustrations Unlimited (Wheaton: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc, 1988) p. 87.
All distance is gone now; "for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father" (Ephesians Ch.2v18).
There are several things that can get in the way of pulling these walls down. The first is pride. There is no doubt that pride is at the root of so many sins. Pride is certainly at the root of prejudice. Some people are taught that they are intrinsically better than other people. Based on race or national origin, these categories change. This can not only be true of race or nationality, it can also be true of religious denomination. Whatever the category, when one group feels that they are better than another group, even a group within a group, you can be sure pride is at the root. Jesus came to break the back of pride. Pride is one fence that needs to be torn down.
Another problem, which, gets in the way is a feeling of inferiority. Some people have been beat up so much that they feel rejected. They not only feel rejected by other people, they feel rejected by God. It's easy to believe that since others do not like you that God does not like you. When a feeling of inferiority victimizes you, you feel like a failure and understand, in your thinking, why people and why God would reject you.
Other people's pride and prejudice feed these feelings of inferiority. But it is all a blatant lie. Jesus Christ accepts all who come to Him. There is no sin, no failure, no fault, which, can cause Him to reject you. When Jesus received the woman of Samaria, many were surprised that He would even talk to her. Many are still surprised at those whom Jesus chooses. If He has chosen you, you are not a second-class citizen.
A final hang-up is the problem of pressure. Sometimes we build the walls because of other people with whom we associate that are prejudice. The apostle Peter found this to be true in his own life. In Acts 10, God prepared him through a vision to go to a Gentile household in order to share Christ. God showed Peter through that vision that there was nothing unclean that God has made clean. Then He sent Peter to the household of Cornelius. There the Holy Spirit was poured out as He had been at Pentecost. Peter got the point, and rejoiced at God's activity in there midst. But later on, Paul had to rebuke Peter because Peter withdrew himself from fellowship with the Gentiles when some of his Jewish buddies came from Jerusalem. Even Peter was a victim of the pressure, which can be applied by others' opinions. So can we be.
Jesus has come to make peace. He has come to bring us together in Himself. Are there those with whom you need to make peace today? Are there attitudes you need to surrender today? Christ has come to set us free.
God still uses broken things: broken soil and broken clouds to produce grain; broken grain to produce bread; broken bread to fee the hungry. He wants our stubbornness broken into humble obedience.
There are no "inactive" church members. An old pastor whose congregation numbered one hundred was asked how many active members he had. "One hundred," he replied; "Fifty active for me and fifty active against me."
There is a great danger lurking in the church today: We are challenged but not changed; convicted, but not converted. We hear, but do not and thereby we deceive ourselves.
I say again, all distance is gone now, and all difference, we are brought into the nearer presence of our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord. One day, When the Lord Jesus "through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God" (Hebrews Ch.9v14). God reached down and rent the temple veil, he thus rendered Judaism obsolete and at the same time opened up the way for both Jews and Gentiles alike to enter His presence and all who do so are one in Christ Jesus the Lord. And it's that oneness which builds up rather than pulls down.

There's a difference between Gay-Rights, and being a fucking freak about
it. I doubt the lack of gay characters was due to the intentions of the
game developers. Perhaps they just thought that sexuality isn't that
This guy comes across as the sort of guy that would complain if a TV show
didn't have an exact equal spread of white/black characters.
Do gays really think they need to be represented everywhere? The simple
fact that we allow these things to live should be good enough, and now we
are letting them get married.. This world is going to shit.
There is a problem with representing characters as homosexual or
heterosexual. People want characters to be represented realistically. I
don't see many people just shouting their sexuality to the heavens. Who
knows which characters are gay or not? Most people just assume that the
characters are straight. Why can't people enjoy the character for the
character instead of requiring them to have a certain sexuality?
look at mass affect, youre main charecter could choose to be gay. and that
made things even funnier and enteresintg lol
Digging this video up since (1) it's LGBT Pride Month and (2) I'm a bit of
a gamer geek. (Duh!)
Master Cheif and Cortana are like really good freinds their not in a
relationship. That never even enters their minds when talking to eachother.
And putting Halo aside being gay, lesbian, or transsexual is NOT normal.
You are not born gay, you develop that as you get older.
I think the problem is another.
There's no way of making a gay character without stereotyping because
there's no way of making characters without stereotyping. And people are
more ok with stereotyping straight males.
If you make a scandalously flamboyant whorish gay main character, people
are going shout oppression, if you make an extremely reserved prude gay
character, people are going to scream oppression. So giving the option is
much more easier.
In most cases, even putting a sexuality on the character is
Something you conveniently missed out was that NPCs are easily comparable
to tv show characters. Video game NPCs being gay, to me at least, is the
same level of representation as tv shows give to LGBT. You pointed out that
you're asking the player to do something that may make them uncomfortable,
because maybe they aren't really okay with homosexuality, which wouldn't
make them any less tolerant [allowing something to happen rather than
oppressing its existence]. At least that's my idea view of tolerance
because asking people to agree with every behaviour other people partake in
is kinda unreasonable ie. swingers, scat fetishists.
Anyway I think when asking for something like a playable homosexual
character you have to accept there's a risk of having created a propaganda
game [see Extra Credits' video on propaganda games] and rather than letting
people decide whether or not they're okay with the reality of
homosexuality, you're forcing them to believe it's okay because you say so.
I would much prefer playing games that represent the even more
unrepresented minority that is asexuals, because at least that way we won't
get pointless fanservice, just a good character that has priorities beyond
a love interest.
The question is, Why do we need gay characters? If mostly every game
character turned gay they'd become less badass and appealing. Just gay
characters wouldn't work that well in MOST videogames, I can see games like
The Last Of Us and other story driven games work well a couple of them.
i think the main reason you dont see much gay main character is that sex
just isnt related to the plot, a lot of time, they just don`t tell you if
the avatar is in couple. if you compile all those game where the avatar as
no known partner and all of those which just use hot chick to rescue. There
not that many game which just have a main avatar which have a partner, it
reduce by that much the number of them which could happen to be gay.
eventually, its gonna happen, we just have to wait for one good idea to
flourish and eventually turn into a game
If he was gay, then it would fuck over the deeper storyline and the
emotional connection. Since he has never had a partner, yet he still
experiences emotions, his artificial companion fills the role of partner,
and he develops an emotional attachment to her. If he was gay, that
wouldn't happen and the players emotional enrolement in the emotional
element of the story of the chief and cortana. In order to make it okay,
they would have to make cortana a male, but it is too frickin late for that.
The whole premise is bullshit. Having the option is all that is necessary,
forcing all the main characters to be gay is just unfair. This is the same
as your bullshit about feminism in games. The time has come where the
transition is already being made, and the options are becoming more and
more available. You're a frickin pansy and you are trying to force
everybody to do something completely fucking un-necessary, I am not giving
you any more views.
I can't think of anything stupider than not playing a game just because a
bunch of pixels representing a person is attracted to another bunch of
pixels with certain pixels in the same place. If you need to play a
character with the same traits as you then you must have a pretty shitty
imagination and zero empathy for others.
Master chief gay? HAHAHAHAH, yeah good fucking joke.
Well, there are the first three Fables games, while in the first game you
can only play as a male, you can choose to be gay. In the other two games
it will even show you the sexual preferences of the NPCs.
WHY Is the sexual orientation of fictional characters more important than
the content and quality of the characters???
It may be me reading too much into the dialogue between Rex and Spider in
Farcry 3: Blood Dragon, however I've always seen Rex as bi. I honestly love
that, even if it's just head-cannon. >.>
*facepalm* thats a picture of vaan not cloud
I think that the main problem right now is the fact that the people making
and releasing games are usually old guys who only want to really make money
and not take huge risks. I think it would be a HUGE risk to release a video
game with a gay main character because almost every single person I've
played games with online feel really awkward when they find out I'm gay and
either leave or start telling me how I just need to try having sex with a
I personally am in the development of making a video game with some gay
characters, but it probably won't be released for another ten years. And
even then it won't be a AAA game. Just some random release that won't get
any press. lol.
I'm quite shocked that a lot of the comments (from just a quick glance) are
just "WHY DO WE NEED GAY CHARACTERS GOD. WE KNOW THEY EXIST."
Do they though?? As pointed out in this video, how many gay, playable
characters can you think of? There is hardly any! Check out Game Theory's
video on "Are Video Games Anti-LGBT?" Really interesting video on how
characters that stray from the "hetero-normative" are evil, mentally
challenged, or even inhuman.
So, to answer your question: I would LOVE to play a game as a gay
character. I think video games could be the perfect medium to safely
explore things that may not seem "normal" to you, and increase your
understanding on people who are "different" from you.
More diverse characters in games = more understanding = more acceptance in
the long run.
I would PREFER it if games had gay main characters. The reason why is so
that people can learn that gay and straight have no differences other then
that. . . One thing. Gay people have not been accurately portrayed, and
have become this negative form of "lesser" beings in tv, movies, and games.
They are the same as all of us and just because they are attracted to
people of the same gender doesnt mean that cant wield a gun, fight for
freedom, liberate a castle, save the world, and rescue the prince/princess.
Its really not fair, and i hope hope hope that in the future there will be
a game where you spawn randomly as a boy or girl, gay straight or bisexual,
etc without the gamers control. If theyre going to force us to play as
someone we're not (like freeman, or Laura) then they should go all out with
it. Make a random chance of spawning as either gender and either
orientation, just so gamers can learn (young or old) that there is no
difference between gays and straights, or women men or other. We're just
What if she was a girl with a voice changer and a testasterone problem
(noting for the man hands.)
Technically if you think about it, Master Chief isn't really straight. He
never has relations with anything in his games except a digital women,
which, is still, digital.
on the topic of gay, (hoping not to get too much back lash) the only
problem I do have with gay is the big deal made about it, (same with
religion), I don't care what people do in their own home.. my problem is
when its pushed in my face (not literal) this episode is pointing out Gay,
gay pride marches, my gay friend would list him self as gay if someone
asked him to describe himself… I don't have hetero parades, I don't feel
the need to label myself as heterosexual, I don't want or need it being
brought up and examined in youtube videos because doing so would make it
seem strange.. I dunno, maybe its because I just accept it but others don't
and there for a stand against bigotry is needed?
Just be gay if you want, but don't force us to be gay or encourage us to be
I will not play with a gay character unless I have a choice to make him
striaght like Mass Effect.
Their is a quote i heard not too long ago by a person who makes "welcome to
nightvale" podcast, he said something like, "if your going to make a
charicter gay, that chariceristic needs to be explored in the story you
tell, when i made cesil (the main character) gay, i made sure that his
homosexuality had value, it affected the world around him, he wasent gay
just for the sake of being gay, it was part of his overall character that
dose has its impact on the over arching story. If your going to make a gay
character, it needs to be for a reason, if not, it will be compleatly
dismissed and irellavent to the story your trying to tell." that is not
word for word of what he said, but close enough. He brings up a great
point, if your going to have a main playable character be gay, it him being
homosexual needs to have something to do with the story, if not, then whats
the point? He/she cant be gay just because, it has to be a trate that makes
the plot work, their needs to be a game mechanic that allows someone's
sexuality have this type of effectiveness on the game, like saduceing other
guys/girls, but thats also a problem, if the homosexuality only focuses on
lust/love angles, it will make tons of straight players uncomfterable and
probably just avoid the game.
Im all for gay rights, but i dont see an effective way being gay will have
great responses on games like halo, mabey in diffrent genras of games, like
love games, but not action games, face it, no type of romace will really
work in games like call of duty cuz its uneeded and irrelivent in the end
where its just people killing each other.
P.S. im on my phone, so dont judge my spelling :)
Just to say if I am playing a video game and the character turns out to
be gay that does not mean I am gay or that I have connected with that
character. Also Bill's from last of us isn't gay he just had a partner
who worked together to save each other. Cloud isn't gay as its pretty
clear he likes Tifa and Aeris.
im not saying they should or should not be gay representations in
video games, what I am saying is can a developer pull it off in such
a way to have still a great game, story, and deep characters.
Also if gay character does appear in game with deep character it
shouldn't be given game of the year, especially if they are better and
more memorable games released that year.
Forcing a character to be gay, especially with it being so controversial
these days, would draw away from the plot as it is trying to hard to make a
statement. ALSO, MOST PEOPLE ARE STRAIGHT. It is the same reason why most
game protagonists are males. Its a business and its all about the money.
Pretty sure Master Chief was a chick, much like Samus. >.> Don't really
care about Halo though.
Actually it is implied that there are plenty of gay or bi characters in
video games. It is just not directly said. All examples are in this link
Of course with a name like that they are often either silly or creepy, but
they just can't come out of the closet.
Huh. I play a lot of White men in video games and I'm not a White man. I
play a lot of Asians in video games and I'm not Asian. This doesn't stop me
from caring about or identifying with these characters. I personally don't
need someone who looks like me, or acts like me, or has my sexual
orientation to care about them. If I like them, I like them. It really
doesn't matter what they are…I can still identify with them and care
about their struggles.
I'm a gamer who happens to be homo. I'm not a "gaymer", because being gay
doesn't define me as a person, nor does being a gamer. I have tons of other
Would I wanna play a gay main character? As things are now, probably not. I
know he would be totally stereotypical, androgynous and thus boring and
uninteresting. Why? Because the character would be written by a either a
really stereotypical gay developer, or by a straight developer who has no
idea of the fact that most homos go under the radar. It's just that the
general public THINK that all homos are walking stereotypes because they
only notice those who actually are.
The second reason why I think a game with a gay main character would be
really bad, is because regardless of developer, the corporation behind the
game would make only make such a game if they saw big money in it. They
would insist that the character should be totally over the top, noticeably
gay so that the target audience (gaymers) would see it and buy it.
But, let's say in a perfect world, a homo main character emerged… I think
if it was a good game in general, that focused on his homosexuality as much
as other games focuses on the main character's heterosexuality (essentially
very little, or not at all) then yes… I think anybody could get into
playing that character. That is, again, if the game devs refrain from all
the pandering. A game where every cut scene has shirtless muscle-bois would
be as cheesy as most gay themed movies. Take a causionary lesson from
those, because most of the time they're all kinds of bad.
I don't care if a character is gay if the game is fun and has a good story
I could care less. I also think we need more girl leads.
So because being gay is normal (which it is), non gay persons should be
forced to play as gay characters ingame…. Don't like that idea at all.
I like games where I can decide what kind of character I play, so I can
identify better with it.
The idea of Mass Effect all the way.
I'd be perfectly ok with playing as a gay character. If you can't delineate
between yourself and a video game, that's a serious problem and you need a
mental health professional (seriously).
My only problem would be if once it got established that gay characters are
acceptable developers only portray them in a positive fashion with no flaws
and certainly never a villian. I feel like that has happened with minority
and female characters. Black people always have to be positive role models
and women always have to be strong and independent. Not saying that's
wrong, but it portrays a false reality and makes the medium unbelievable.
I kind of think this overly sensitive characterization of non traditional
characters polarizes people. Some people In real life have a mentality of
pushing back on stuff like that just to make a point. Moderate people start
to feel like the political correctness gets shoved in their face and turns
them off. I think everyone should be portrayed equally for good or bad.
We haven't seen it because its not normal and should not be acceptable. And
to answer your first question, if master chief were gay I would not buy the
In Fallout New Vegas, your character can choose to have sex with men,
women, both, or even a sex robot! There are two gay side kicks that can
tag along with you, and there are multiple gay characters you can flirt
with throughout the game. You can choose your gender, race, customize your
face, and determine your sexual orientation through choices in game.
Gay Is Okay
The question isn't are GAMES ready but are PLAYERS ready? I'm guessing no.
I do actually think it would matter with master chief specifically. my
reasoning being the same as the reason he keeps his face always hidden and
says very little. he's an avatar made to be able to have as many people as
possible project themselves on to him. admittedly if they had added the
choice to play as a female which wouldn't have been too hard I'm sure then
it would have been even better, but back when the 1st Halo came out it was
still the dominant idea that almost all gamers where guys I think. it's
more recently that the female gamers have started to be acknowledged.
this is a bit of a tangent, but if say they did want to make him even more
flexible they would have to do some pretty drastic things that would
probably cost more than they would want to spend such as branching
storylines, customizable voices, and more customizable appearances
including under the helmet. honestly, even being able to choose the name
causes more problems than most people realize due to stuff like how to work
it into voice acting and how it takes out another thing that can be used in
the plot.
I actually realized something strange about myself from this episode. I'm
fine playing a white character, a black character, asian, hispanic, etc,
and even fine playing a female protagonist, but before perhaps now, i
would've been pretty uncomfortable playing a gay character. It really is a
social difference, of thinking a gay person would do x action in a game,
and thinking this person would do x action in a game, and they happen to be
gay. looking at who people would play as can be a good signifier of what
they find acceptable for a "normal" person.
Master Chief can pork whatever he damn well wants. You know why? BECAUSE
(NOTE: I'm not a hardcore Halo fanboy, I just like Master Chief.)
Last of us you play as Ellie (albeit secondary protagonist) and she is gay.
But yeah, it's rare.
*Narrator*: If you choose to be gay you start out on a different planet
from the straight players.
*Me*: I feel like I should be horrified by this instead of laughing at it,
but I can do that later.

The dolphin penis is fibro-elastic, meaning the erectile tissue is full of collagen and elastin and can emerge quickly. Whales have similarly speedy mating and dextrous penises, says Marah Hardt , author of Sex in the Sea.

Faculty costs are absolutely not the primary factor in increasing tuition rates across the US. It's actually one of the areas administrators have tried to trim the most, by way of using more adjunct faculty and TAs. A few of the big hitters driving up costs: Rapid and constant changes in technology over the last 15 years and the necessary infrastructure to support it Aging campus plant and infrastructure, and the increasing maintenance and repair costs Insane growth in administrative departments, including adding departments that never existed (Office of Sustainability, Diversity office, etc.) Expanding campus footprints and adding lavish student amenities (rec centers with climbing walls and lazy rivers, large residential suites with private baths, etc.) Decreasing pool of incoming students means price per student has to go up to maintain expenses Decreasing State Appropriations to higher education You will see significant numbers of small, private campuses closing in the next 10-15 years or being swallowed up by larger campuses. You will also see a number of public, regional institutions close or consolidate.

The FAA is seeking public comment on the draft environmental assessment (Draft EA) for the Las Vegas metroplex airspace redesign. The project proposes to use satellite navigation to move air traffic more efficiently through Southern Nevada. The Draft EA indicates the project would not have any significant environmental impacts under federal environmental law. The public can submit comments through December 20.
Key elements of the plan include implementing new routes that are "more direct, automatically separated from each other, and have efficient climb and descent profiles," the FAA said. "The potential benefits of these routes can include reductions in pilot-controller communications, miles flown, fuel burn, and CO2 emissions."
Also included in the Las Vegas Metroplex redesign are new and replacement arrival and departure routes for McCarran International Airport, Henderson Executive Airport, and North Las Vegas Airport. Additionally, flight procedures for the following airports are being developed and are included in the Draft EA: Boulder City Municipal Airport, Temple Bar Airport, Triangle Airpark, and Echo Bay Airport.
The FAA will host five public workshops on the Draft EA scheduled between Monday, December 9 and Friday, December 13 to be held at various venues in the Las Vegas area. The workshops will feature informational videos and other visual aids that show existing and proposed routes and explain the inefficiencies in the current system. Agency representatives will be available to answer questions.

Title: Parallel Lines
Product Type: VINYL LP
Limited 180 gram vinyl LP repressing of this classic album from the new wave icons. Parallel Lines is the third studio album by Blondie.

The album reached #1 in the United Kingdom in February 1979 and proved to be the band's commercial breakthrough in the United States, where it reached #6 in April 1979. The album spawned several successful singles, notably the international hit "Heart of Glass", and the top 40 hit "One Way or Another".
