Anywho... I don't believe in an all powerful, all knowing, omnipresent God with a bushy, white, beard, watching all our lives on television screens.
I believe that there is something out there more powerful than human beings. Maybe it's a divine electricity like the force, or a cosmic Hugh Hefner, giant Kasaba Melons flying through space, a mystical racoon, or space aliens. I don't know what it is exactly and I don't care. I thought I knew what God was at one point but honestly I have no flipping clue. I just know that a God of my "understanding" exists out there somewhere. I used to be a devout atheist until I took some time to study myself and my behavior. I realized that every time I was in a jam, I was silently praying to something, thinking that something or someone could hear and help me. Besides, when I pray and meditate to my higher power, my quality of life just improves beyond my wildest dreams. In my opinion, atheism is completely logical, but it's arrogant. Atheists have a lot of self will and ego. That's fine, and I don't discriminate. It just doesn't work for me. Therefore I do have a reason to believe in a power greater than myself. Everyone has a spiritual hole. If it's not filled with spirituality then something else takes its place... like drugs, alcohol, women, material posessions, money, sports, guns, or anything. It doesn't necessarily have to be destructive. Some people can find other things to fill that hole and if it works for them, then that's great. In my experience, the only thing I can use to fill my spiritual hole is spirituality. Therefore, yes I believe in a "God," as much as I hate that word. Goranhammer... blessed be his name.

I don't seen any proof or indication of any higher being so therefor I don't believe in one. I do not really care if other people believe in deities as long as they don't try to convert me.

Laibach, in answer to your spiritual hole idea, the famous "Socialism is my religion."
Perhaps it's not accurate to say this about myself at such a young age, espicially when I'm so inactive in the socialist movement, but it may yet become true of me. I see great worth in people, as a unit and as an individual. I do not need a higher power than this. Yes, sometimes I do want a higher power to do something for me. Sometimes I want to sprout wings and fly around, but neither are based on reality. I rarely pray for myself. Sometimes I jokingly say, "If there is a god then I will find the essay" or some such nonsense, but it's more out of exasperation. I have prayed for others, people are suicidal or sick. I've only done that in my weakest moments when I break down and cannot do anything else. It is out of a desire to do something and I can do nothing, and so I content myself with praying. Opium of the people. I'm not saying that religious people are less intelligent, but they're certainly not less egosistic arrogant. Am I arrogant for not believing something I have no reason to believe in? Or am I arrogant for deciding what qulaifies as a reason to believe? Should I let God or your higher power decide then? But I can hardly let something decide that I'm not sure exists. How about the Pope? Should the Pope get to decide what we think? Should you decide what of my experiences qualifies as reason to believe? I should decide, and only myself. It is not another's place to choose belief. This is not arrogance. It is certainly egoistic to call those who support individual's finding their own spiritual truth arrogant.
One can speculate the hell out of the existence of anything, yet as long as I remain convinced of the correctness of the dialectical materialist world outlook, the most basic logical consistency dictates me to deny the existence of God. And to prevent any accusations of dogmatism, this stance will stay only untill I become convinced against DM, the possibility of which I don't deny.

We've already had a religion poll. This subjects, like the Stalin vs Trotsky or the "gay threads", come up every now and then... Well, if you want my opinion I've already gave posted it on the Religion Poll.
I think there are much more interesting subjects regarding communism we can discuss, rather than this "important but unnecessary for communism" thread.

I am more inclined to believe that there is a god than that the universe exploded into existence
Henrik_Ibsen,1828-1906 NORWEGIAN DRAMATIST
"You should never put on your best trousers when you go out to fight for freedom and truth."
That's a bad argument.
"Well, we can't explain it well now, so God must have done it." That kind of thing justified religion in the past by explaining weather, seasons, plant growth, birth, ect ect. And there's shown to be a nonreligious reason for all of these, in time. You can object to the Big Bang theory for whatever reason, but that doesn't mean you should just latch onto the first idea that's slightly plausible and say it's the truth.
I seperate my faith from anything scientific. Religion doesn't define my morals.
I particularly had a strong attachment to my church's pastors, Father Bergie (now a bishop), and Father Stromeihyer. They helped my family a lot when my Dad was unemployed, and they were the ones that got me to read the Bible for myself. The stories were just neat, I didn't live by them, but accepted that there was some good to them. I lost some of that thinking after I went to public school, but now I'm remembering it a bit better. When you think to yourself, God is the thing you swear by. I don't personally care whether God actually exists. He is a metaphysical being, so I just have to believe in Him for Him to exist. When I die, I will find peace. That's all there is to it. *

Religion gives spirituality a bad name.
"The most important single central fact about a free market is that no exchange takes place unless both parties benefit." Quote: I agree with you. I think they are more egotistic and arrogant. I'm talking about spirituality, not religion. Quote: No... if you have no reason to believe in it, then you are not arrogant. I do have a reason to believe in a higher power. Therefore were I to deny its existence, that would make me arrogant. Quote: You might be.... I don't know. I am in no position to judge you whatsoever. If I made the implication that I find you arrogant for that reason, then I apologize. Quote: Well my personal higher power or conception of it doesn't judge you and loves you no matter what... even if you burn my house down. My higher power even loves Fitzy. But that's MY higher power. No, you shouldn't let MY higher power decide for you... even though I know that was a sarcastic rhetorical question. You should let YOUR higher power decide for you... or in your case... dogmatic socialist doctrine, or the Holy Spirit of Karl Marx, or whatever it may be that works for you. Quote: Of course not. I don't expect you to. I only think you should keep an open mind. Be willing to believe in a God were such a God to reach down from the Heavens and smite thee or turn your car into a giant marshmallow or whatever. I agree that you have no reason to believe in a God based on the lack of evidence. I'm just saying that you shouldn't be unwilling to change your mind at some point in the future were the evidence to suggest otherwise. Quote: What does the Pope have to do with this? I hate the Pope. Quote: I don't know your experiences... even If I did, I could only speculate. What might be reason enough for me, might not be reason enough for you, etc... Quote: I think you're misunderstanding me, buddy. I'm not saying it's anyone else's place to choose anyone's belief but their own. I'm not calling you or any other agnostic arrogant. I only believe that atheists... or people who believe that the existence of any sort of god is impossible, are in general.... arrogant. I think it's arrogant to not believe in God simply because you think it's the Marxist thing to do and you're afraid that your commie friends are going to give you shit for it. If you HONESTLY believe that there is NOTHING out there.... that the earth just sporadically appeared along with the rest of the universe from a spontaneous explosion and that you are the be all, end all power of all the galaxies that span across our universe, then cool.... Go with it. Maybe it seems silly to me, I'll admit. But I couldn't call you arrogant. And if that's what you truly believe, then I applaud you for being true to yourself. As Patricio said though... the way I see it, when you talk to yourself, God is just the thing that you swear by. And as long as someone believes in a God, there will always be one because God is a metaphysical being. Last edited by TAFKAL on 18 Dec 2006, 23:12, edited 1 time in total.

Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition Review
Baldur's Gate remains the same enthralling epic that it was in 1998, but bugs and lackluster extras make it tough to call this an enhanced version of the classic.
The Good
- Still the same old Baldur's Gate
- Huge world and an expansive storyline
- Deep, tactical party-based combat.
The Bad
- The improvements and additions are underwhelming
- Too many flaws in the original game are still present
- A number of bugs remain, even after multiple patches.
Calling a game "enhanced" justifiably raises expectations. You go into it looking for something extra, an improvement over the original plain-Jane version that you can see and feel. With that in mind, it is hard to view Overhaul Games' Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition as anything but a disappointment. Yes, this revamped and pumped-up take on the 1998 Dungeons & Dragons classic from BioWare is just as compelling and hard to put down as the 14-year-old forebear that became a gold standard for role-playing games. But it doesn't add anything of real value to the experience aside from interface and graphical tweaks long available to the original game through free mods, along with largely forgettable new content in a trio of potential party members and an arena combat mode. And to make matters worse, the game arrived loaded with bugs and remains shaky even after a few patches.
Fortunately, the core game (along with the 1999 expansion pack Tales of the Sword Coast, also rolled into the mix here) remains strong after more than a decade, and is a deep, incredibly engrossing role-playing game. The plot driving the swords-and-sorcery derring-do is far from gripping, the game instead focusing on your relationships with party members--a diverse and relatable group of individuals with different personalities and motives. Alignment is a vital concern: mix good and evil in the party for long and adventurers eventually come to blows. You can even face defections if your actions aren't somewhat in line with party members' philosophies.
You have to have real affection for the arcane rule system of D&D to appreciate how much this game offered to Gygax enthusiasts back in the late '90s--or to even appreciate it now, because the Enhanced Edition sticks with the labyrinthine second-edition Advanced D&D rule set from the late '80s that powered the original game, rather than the totally overhauled rules that have been around in third and fourth iterations since 2000. If you have no experience with D&D, you may have some reading in store. Even if you have some familiarity with the modern versions of the great-granddaddy of RPGs, you need to understand how the game was played over a decade ago to get the most out of the complex mechanics.
Even with rules likely to confuse a newcomer, the manner in which Baldur's Gate combines its numerous elements in such an uncompromising way can brew up serious ambrosia. This blend of largely open-world role-playing with strategic, pausable real-time combat conducted by a party of up to six disparate adventurers can make for an incredible experience. Both the role-playing and strategic depth are tremendous, forcing you to manage your party and think seriously about spellcasting and swordplay when delving into battles.
The Enhanced Edition brings back these great features, and even expands upon them by tossing in extras that were not incorporated into the series until Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. With or without these add-ons, the game hits a sweet spot between role-playing adventure and tactical squad-based combat. Parties must be properly structured to take advantage of different character classes. Concocting a good mix of warriors, mages, and specialists like thieves, rangers, or even bards is vital to simply surviving against some of the opposition. You can't throw your party into the fray without serious contemplation and preparation, especially after you hit the midway point and encounter enemies who will shred you with magic if you don't have ways to counter their incantations. A wide range of available adventurers provides nearly unlimited choices when it comes to party composition.
Despite such deserving praise, there isn't much in the Enhanced Edition to merit such a high-reaching subtitle. Most of the improvements have long been available free of charge online with the fantastic BG1Tutu and a host of other mods that add an incredible number of features to the original game. There are few benefits to paying $20 for this version of the game as opposed to shelling out $5 or $10 for the original game and then taking a half-hour or so to download and install the mods. For some, the Enhanced Edition might be a preferable one-stop shopping option, but there are serious drawbacks with this approach.
For starters, this is not a completely fixed-up game. Overhaul did not address some old, glaring problems. Though some of the original's issues have been tightened, many flaws have been left depressingly intact. Pathfinding with party members, for instance, is as messed up as it ever was. Characters still routinely run into one another and wander away into the scenery. Even something like a copse of trees can turn an orderly march into a scramble through the woods where your weak mage winds up being the first guy to run into a gang of hobgoblins.
Indoors, things are worse. Corridors and chambers are too cramped for characters to turn around without roaming off on their own. You can walk into a room and find some of your party unable to move, which is a real problem if the frozen guys are your heavy-armored brawlers. Characters also mill around when leaving a screen, with the whole party still needing to be on the edge before you can travel to another area. Hearing that familiar "You must gather your party before venturing forth" triggers nostalgia, but it's also a reminder that things weren't always so great in the good old days. It's disappointing that these essential functions have not been smoothed out.
The new content does not do much to improve the overall character of the game. The main saga has been bolstered with three new characters that draw on character classes and skills not available in the original Baldur's Gate. But while the half-orc Blackguard Dorn isn't a bad addition, because of his two-handed magic sword and ability to level up quickly into a melee powerhouse, both the wild mage Neera and the monk Rasaad are tougher to appreciate. Neera is wild, which can dramatically affect her spells to the point where you never know what she's going to cast. This is true to the class, but it also makes her a much less attractive option than a dependable mage like Dynaheir.
Game Emblems
The Good
The Bad
Overhaul Games and Beamdog's attempt to improve a timeless classic both fails and succeeds in somewhat equal measure.

Attack ad against McCravey is ridiculous | Letter
October 29, 2012 · Updated 8:11 AM
I just received a political postcard lambasting state senate candidate, and Bothell resident, Dawn McCravey for her "ties" to the oil industry.
The ad features a rubber duck drenched in oil and warns that Dawn will prioritize the interests of "big oil" over the interests of the people she represents.
The attack is funded by labor unions who dislike her stand on charter schools and her opposition to the system of basing teacher retention on seniority rather than performance. It is also utterly ridiculous!
Dawn lives in a middle class neighborhood in Bothell, not exactly the domicile one might expect from an imperious oil baron! She has worked tirelessly for causes she believes in, including improving education for all students in Washington State.
Frustrated by the culture of the local school board, which was routinely ignoring parent concerns, Dawn ran for a position on the board and won. She then proceeded to shake up the insular culture, turning the board into a far more responsive, and effective, organization.
On environmental issues, she has actively campaigned in favor of environmental issues, like saving the North Creek Forest.
Basically, the unions dug up the scandalous tidbits that her husband is employed by an energy company and that her father started a small business in Texas, truing to turn them into a campaign issue.
What they have done instead is reveal how little they have to say!

National Girl Scout Cookie Day: Troops Visit Police Stations, Fire Houses and Stl USO
On Friday, Feb. 8, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri troops will visit fire departments and police stations throughout the St. Louis area between 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m.
They will enjoy "Milk and Cookies" with police officers and fire fighters in honor of National Girl Scout Cookie Day.
In addition, from noon to 7 p.m., Girl Scouts will be stationed at a cookie booth outside the James S. McDonnell USO at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. All cookie orders placed at the USO will be donated to US military personnel.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl-led enterprise in the country, engaging girls with five skills they will use throughout their lives-goalsetting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. Many successful women leaders tell us that their first entrepreneurial experience came from selling Girl Scout Cookies.

Great jacket!
By Kristen
from Seattle, WA
Best Uses
I took this jacket with me to Snowbird UT this week, where temps were well below freezing at the summit each day. I stayed comfortably warm, even in some pretty intense wind. I'm 5'8, 120 lbs and ordered the size S, fits just right for me.
nice coat, too big
By trish
from saranac lake, ny
I LOVE OR stuff and I am used to it running small. I tend to expect things I buy in my size (M) to be tight and form fitting. So I was very surprised to find that this coat in a size M is really big. I also find that it isn't very attractive cause of the extra bulk. I bought the light blue coat, which is pretty, but a lot brighter than I expected. If I could I would return this coat for a smaller size and a different color. I will say that it is VERY warm and waterproof. I also really like the number of pockets, plenty of places to put stuff.
Style# 95047OR
Weatherproof insulation for the Sidecountry skier determined to find the best snow on either side of the boundary rope.

Small-business owners hear it all the time: To find out how your business is doing, including what people like or don't like and what you need to adjust, ask customers for feedback. But your quest for feedback can either produce a magic elixir or simply be an annoyance to customers and prospects, depending on how you do it.
Here are essentials for collecting, analyzing and using customer feedback in a way that both engages customers and benefits your business:
n Make customers feel important. This is critical for getting people to respond to your feedback requests, and for generating helpful information that you can use to make improvements or launch new products and services. In most cases, it's not necessary to offer "incentives" (also called bribes) for customers to provide honest feedback. Most are willing to do so if approached properly. The key is to make customers feel that you genuinely want to hear what they have to say, value their opinions and will use the information to make improvements that will benefit them as well as others.
n Be both specific and open-ended. Avoid vague questions such as "What do you think?" Break it down. Ask specifically about customer service, for example, or certain product features. You don't have to cover everything at once. If you have forms and surveys, design different ones to cover specific topic areas. The time to be "open-ended" is when you are digging for information about what customers really want.
n Leverage your online options. Today there are many low-cost and even free Web-based tools and services designed to help small businesses seek customer feedback. These include online surveys (Survey Monkey is a popular choice), Web-based feedback forums such as UserVoice (www.uservoice.com) and social media such as Facebook, Google Plus and others. On Facebook, one approach is to simply post a question about some aspect of your product or service and ask for feedback. It's quick, easy and cheap.
n Analyze, respond and act on your feedback. Always keep in mind that the ultimate goal of your effort to seek feedback is to improve customer satisfaction and grow your business. Take all feedback seriously. Look for trends and common themes in what you hear. By formalizing the process of analyzing and responding to feedback, you elevate its importance as part of your business DNA of listening to customers. Thank customers for the effort they've made to provide you with helpful information, and assure them it is both valued and appreciated. •

animate objects with css3 after clicking a link (before you leave the page)
Hi I made a coming soon page for my band antibiotics. After the page is loaded, the pictures slide in (animated with css3). Now what i wanna do is animate them (fade or slide out) when you click the "to our songs"-link.
Is it possible to do this just with css3?
Thanks for your help! :)
You can animate things with CSS. You can't delay the default behaviour of an element. A link isn't supposed to wait before acting when clicked.
You'll have to use JavaScript to delay the behaviour of the link.
Thank you for your answer! Now as I know that I can not do it whit css only, how do i have to do it with JavaScript? I'm pretty familliar with HTML and CSS but I only know a litte bit of JavaScript.
Thanks! Johnny
PS: i made a quick sketch how it should work and you can find the demo site here.
the username is usr and the password pw ;)Unless you put all your content in a single page and all your anchors point into the same page and you just do your animations on :target.
You can use this plugin.
Need to make customize as per your requirement.

Nola Sizemore
Staff Writer
Brenda Trammell says she would like to see the county provide a center for children and adults diagnosed with Fragile X Syndrome. She and her husband, Danny, have one son, Brian, now 28 years of age, who was diagnosed with that condition.
Fragile X Syndrome is a genetic condition involving changes in part of the X chromosome. It is the most common form of inherited intellectual disability (mental retardation) in boys. It is caused by a change in a gene called FMR1. A small part of the gene code is repeated on a fragile area of the X chromosome. The more repeats, the more likely there is to be a problem. The FMR1 gene makes a protein needed for your brain to grow properly. A defect in the gene makes your body produce too little of the protein, or none at all. Boys and girls can both be affected, but because boys have only one X chromosome, a single fragile X is likely to affect them more severely. You can have fragile X syndrome even if your parents do not have it.
"Brian has to be assisted in day-to-day activities such as cooking," said Trammell, of Wallins Creek. "He is able to do things like loading and unloading the dishwasher, taking his own showers and things such as that. Brian loves to fish. He, his dad and I like to share this activity together. We have five Tennessee Walker horses and Brian loves to help water and feed them with his dad.
"There is just no where for Brian to go and interact with others such as himself. If there was a center where he could go just one or two days a week it would be so nice for him. He gets so bored. It would be good for him to socialize with young adults his age and not necessarily with much older adults. He loved going to high school because he loved being around kids. He's mentally always going to be a kid. He never sees a stranger. If he has seen you once, he almost always remembers your face. He's a very friendly person."
Trammell works as a secretary at the Harlan County Extension Service. She began working for the extension office in 1974 in the basement of the old Harlan County Courthouse. She left and worked about eight years for Concentrated Employment Training Agency, and then came back to the extension office in 1989. She is a James A. Cawood High School graduate.
"I love to read, but don't have a lot of time for that," said Trammell. "I have to spend a lot of time with my son planning things for him to do. I am a member of the Wallins Christian Church where I'm in charge of their flower fund. My husband is a coal miner. Together, we try to protect and provide for our son Brian. It's hard sometimes, but to see that sweet smile of his sometimes makes it all worthwhile."

Post subject: Obsessing over a band?
Does anyone else ever get totally obsessed over a band? Throughout my whole life there's always been at least one band that I obsess over - can't stop thinking about it, songs get stuck in my head, keeps me up at night, I look into as much info and find as many pics as possible. It's not something I like doing, I just do.
It used to The Beatles.
Then, The Smiths/Morrissey.
Now, Arctic Monkeys.
And the last one is weird. I like them, but I don't think I should be obsessing over them! It's kinda annoying actually.
Anyone else have this problem? Maybe it's because I'm a musician or something and it's naturally what I gravitate towards.

It used to be Linkin Park for me. It got to the point when everyone would identify me as "that one Linkin Park freak".
If it doesn't make sense, it's probably a Team Fortress 2 reference.

Yup! Absolutely. I've had short obsessions with a bunch of artists, too many to name really. I've only had two longer phases though: I fell in love with The Butterfly Effect in my mid-teens, and gained an appreciation for rock music through my love for them. Then I discovered Muse, who got me into heavier rock/metal, and I would listen to their music almost exclusively for a year or two.
Here's another question though: How has your opinion of a band changed since you were obsessed with them? Personally I got sick of both bands for a while, but eventually returned to their music and listened to it on a less-frequent basis. Several years later, Muse are still my favourite band, and Butterfly Effect aren't far behind.

Not wierd.
Stevie Ray Vaughn is my hero!
There are others that I've obsessed over.
I think it natural. The music talk to you. It click in you. I think of it like surfing, Ride the wave.
Hell, the Baby Boomer generation is obsessed with classic rock! lol
It was that annoying obsession that finally made me decide to become a musician, and waiting to begin 9 years ago at 45, has given me a different appreciation and a youthfull energy about playing that alot of people my age, who have played a long time seem to have lost. They don't seem to enjoy it as much any more.
Hey, sometimes you gotta give merit to your obsessions, right?

I'm rather obsessed with Pink Floyd....and at the moment I can't stop listening to The Scary B*tches....maybe unappealing band name but still a great all chick punk band.
It's like alice in wonderland except, my names not alice and this is the real world not a dream.

I do this all the time.
I actually have made a lot of people I know hate a band called Oasis because I loved them so much. I kinda calmed down a bit after a year or so of being an absolutely avid fan. Then I got lucky enough to meet them and it set me off again ahah.
I've now moved on to other artists - especially an artist called Laura Marling.

Yeah, I used to be obsessed with the Spice Girls when I was a little girl. haha Oh, and Aqua. When I was a preteen it was S Club 7 and Destiny's Child. When I was older I was obsessed with the bands Linkin Park, Kittie, My Ruin, Jakalope, Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation and Flyleaf. I just listen to almost anything now. Actually I'm more into techno now. It's all about Deadmau5 and Skrillex for me.

Twenty-one-year-old married couple Nachman and Raizi Glauber were preparing to welcome their first child.
Family members said they were heading to Long Island College Hospital early Sunday morning because she wasn't feeling well when the livery cab they were in collided with a BMW. "Not even married a year. You're going in for the happiest time, to have a baby, and that's what happens," said Barry Sekete, a cousin. "Terrible."
Family and community leaders said they will come together to care for the child.
"This baby will be well taken care of," said Isaac Abraham, a spokesperson for the Orthodox community. "It's a large family and community. This baby, unfortunately, will have to grow up and, at a later date, find out that it has no parents."
The driver of the livery cab was taken to Bellevue as well.
Police say the driver and a passenger in the BMW both ran off.
A community group is offering a $1,000 reward for help finding the driver who fled. They also have a simple message for the driver. "Give yourself up before we find you," Abraham said. "We know law enforcement is going to get to you, but our message is, give yourself up before we find you."
Hundreds gathered in Williamsburg for the husband and wife's funeral Sunday as friends and family tried to come to grips with how this happened. "We just lost a beautiful couple," said Miriam Stern, a family friend. "Two wonderful people, always with a smile on their face, always trying to help. They're just a lovely, lovely couple, and they're truly going to be missed be everyone."
Family members said that Nachman Glauber's mom had a baby herself only two weeks ago. They said he called her every day. "Making sure she's OK and she's taking care of herself," said Sarah Gluck, a cousin. "He's just a very good boy."
Now, the Glauber family is left to mourn two lives taken way too soon.
Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.

In all honesty, all the requests in the 1x1 section have an uncanny resemblance to dating site requests. Sorry, just thinking out loud.
Oh and if you are interesting in roleplaying with me 1x1 for a topic that YOU have in mind, go ahead and PM me! I understand my extreme good looks may be intimidating at first.
I'd prefer to play male characters. It's not that I'm sexist or anything, but I don't think my female roleplaying is all that accurate or realistic. Maybe when I'm more confident in my writing abilities, I'll start, but for now, I'll stick with the guys. I personally don't care if the person behind the character is male or female, as long as they themselves don't mind playing a girl.
Before I get into the idea, let me say a bit about myself, and my style.
I'm a casual RPer. I'm new to the Guild, but not to Roleplaying. My writing skills are decent, I think, but writer's block tends to be a problem for me. My worst comes out during conversations. I mean, what else is there to say? Sometimes adding too much just makes the conversation hard to follow.
I prefer playing teens. Adults/Young adults are hard because, well, I am a teen and I'd rather sacrifice an age range for the sake of sounding realistic.
I'm pretty sure I'm within the legal age of consent, but I'm not too big about actually roleplaying sex. Nah. Not my thing. We can fade to black though.
Speaking of sex, I really don't have any other limits on my roleplaying. In real life, I am a fluid swearer, and I'm okay with drugs and alcohol and all that in the roleplaying.
With all that said, here's... Keep in mind that my ideas are only for the way I'd like the story to start out. It can branch out in any direction we agree in. And since this is a team effort, I am always open to ideas and suggestions. Don't think it's all me, just because I posted the thread.
Student x Student
Do I smell cliché?
To be specific, I was thinking this pair could be an athletic boy who is popular with the girls and a girl who has had their heart broken multiple times and has trust issues toward pretty much anyone who has a Y-chromosome. Since they go to the same school, they obviously are at least acquainted with one another. I want them to actually come together for an English project which involves recording a scene from, let's say, Romeo and Juliet. Eh, eh??? Yeah. Anyway, we can let things carry on from there.
If you're interested, you can reply here or shoot me a PM.

One day one of my kids asked me to read a written homework assignment that required a lot of research.
I looked it over and was pleasantly surprised that it was really quite good for a high school student. So I told the kid, "Hey, I like that. That's good. It's well-phrased and makes sense. You're going to be a good writer."

Detroit Pistons at New Orleans Hornets Wednesday December 8 8:00 pm Local TV: FS Detroit Nat'l TV: Radio: WWJ 950 AM Chat is open!!!! http://www.pistonsforum.com/playoff-chat/
Not feeling good about this one and it has nothing to do with this. detnews.com | Sports and Statistics How on earth are the Pistons supposed to win on the road on a back to back without their MVP? They might as well trudge through 12' of snow on the way to the game.
I know it is early, but I have plans tonight, so here it is Chat is open!!!! http://www.pistonsforum.com/playoff-chat/
Starting Wallace and Maxiell is completely disgusting. How the hell is Stuckey expected ever to get assists with the crap he has to play with. Criminy, Tay and Rip don't fit his style even a little bit. It's just a stupid as hell starting lineup.
The -unwatchable- second half was one of the most horrid and uncreative offensive performances from the Pistons. No movement. No creativity. Totally predictable. Forced shots. Bad shot selection. Our entire offensive strategy boiled down to "dribble it up the field and hoist it up from wherever". Simply disgusting. Kuester was supposed to be a brilliant offensive coach. I just don't see it. He cannot even figure out a rotation. We use all of our players in the wrong positions or situations. He certainly isn't any defensive mastermind either. Kuester has to go. We need a real coach. We need a real point guard. We need a real center. We need a real power forward. At the moment we only have a bench, a starting SG (Stuckey) and a starting SF (Prince/Daye/Jerebko). That's a lot of holes to fill.
I really don't care what anyone says in response: the problem ISN'T Stuckey. He's lining up with the two worst offensive players in the league, BY FAR, at their respective positions -- C and PF. Seriously, these two guys are incredibly horrible scorers. And his two scorers (you have to be F'ing kidding me if you call them "scorers") are Tay (the absolutely worst "go to" player in the league on any team and Rip (who has become a disinterested horrible shooter), and Tay and Rip don't even begin to fit the skills Stuckey brings to the court. No PG in the history of the planet would look good playing with the complete crap Stuckey lines up with to start every game and every 3rd quarter. Worse, we're letting Daye and Gordon - and even Summers - totally rot. This is a brain dead strategy which has got to be boring the living hell out of the 1/2 dozen fans who even will bother to show up for games in Detroit anymore. Why are we bothering to play Maxiell? Why aren't we suspending Rip and Tay ever for their many insubordinations? Seriously, doesn't anyone give a rats ass anymore?
The composition of this team is so bad that I don't know if Q is a bad coach or not (I'm guessing not, but how can you tell). Everyone sucked tonight and we got embarassed BIG TIME, you can stick a fork in Q because he's done, actually Q is so flustered that you may wanna keep him away from forks and any other sharp objects. I won't even get into a Rodney Stuckey debate anymore, his game is what it is and 99.9% of us see him for what he is, but I wish Rodney was the main issue (he's like item #6 on the To-Do List), this team stinks and I don't know what you do, I don't even think Joe Du(nothing) knows what to do.
Kinda sad to see everybody down today. Rascoe seemed down in the Stuckey thread. Team isn't doing well by any means. I just wish I had something positive to say to lift spirits up. If they could just name the right coach for next season. Sell the team to the right owner. Have Joe bump his head, and get his mojo back...Ahhhhh, heck with it. I'll just visit the "bacon' thread. :(
What I'd do. By Brap. 1) Buyout Rip and get him off the team - if we can't trade him for anything other than a bad (worse) contract. 2) Start Daye at SG. For the experience - everyone with a brain gets he's a starter of the future for us. Get him playing as much as possible with Stuckey and Monroe, and ultimately JJ. 3) Start Monroe and Wilcox - bring Big Ben off the bench. See 2. Monroe is also gets he's a starter of the future for us. Wilcox is athletic enough to support Stuckey's style of play. 4) Let Gordon and CV come of the bench as super subs. 5) McGrady and Daye to get as many of Tay's minutes as possible. 6) Trade Tay for best piece we can get ASAP. He plays the wrong style for where our team is going. 7) Play White when he gets back instead of Bynum. I'm done with Bynum. He's too big a defensive liability. 8) Start giving Summers a legit opportunity - minutes every single game from now on. 9) Ben Wallace is a HOF player and one of the best Pistons of all time. But we're asking too much of him. He's done except as a role model, guy who comes in occassionaly to defend. 10) Draft and trade for a sign big men to play alongside and behind Monroe. 11) For god's sake, tank the rest of the season just like we're tanking the first 25 games. It's painful. But it's sweet too. Get a superstar in the draft. 12) Trade McGrady at the deadline. We'll get a very nice asset for him.
74 points will barely beat a collegiate team and there are probably 2 or 3 collegiate teams in Michigan that could possibly beat the Pistons in a five game series... Agree with Brap, and I have stated it a couple of times this week, that you are only going to win a quarter of your games starting Ben and Max as your front men as they both have bad shooting percentages from both floor and the free throw line. Teams can slack off on them and then two of your other starters are double teamed. Everyone in the league knows this with the exception of Pistons.org. Three years ago we were number one at defending the three ball and now it is open season beyond the arc for opposing long ball shooters.
The players are just not there. Stuckey is not a star--he is not a Rose or a Paul. Good player but not the guy to build the franchise around. Tay and Rip are waiting to be dealt. Daye is a year maybe two away. Monroe is at least two years away. JJ is hurt. Ben should be retired. JMax is a journeyman and would not start anywhere else. Wilcox is a journeyman who is hurt. TMAC cannot seem to find his considerable game--yet. Gordon needs a real point guard and a big to work off of. CV is a 6th man type at best--so far. The roster has the look of a bottom five team. Is there any other team with as unproductive a front court in the league?
I don't see anyone on this team that you can build around and get back into contention in 3-4 years. Stuckey, Daye, Monroe and JJ are decent players, but NONE of them are guys who will be the main guy (or the secondary guy) on a contender, they're all 3rd option type guys who woukd flourish if they were on the floor with 2 or more superstar players, players we just don't have.
In the last decade of Pistons basketball, they have never done anything remotely close to what you're asking for here. I'm really not sure why. Developing players in the regular season seems like a strong strategy whether you are a terrible team or a great team. We've pretty much been one or the other for a long time and we never sacrifice for development's sake. Tay (in '03), Okur, Milicic, Arroyo, Acker, Amir, Delfino, Smush, Sharpe, 5 minutes per game for Tay in 2003. 35 minutes played for a whole season for Acker? 159 minutes for the #2 draft pick in 2004. 159 minutes for Maxiell in 2006 for the whole season 110 minutes for Smush Parker in 2005 104 minutes for Horace Jenkins 39 minutes for Amir 124 minutes for Amir the next year??? 31 minutes for Samb 3 minutes for Dupree 20 minutes for Walter Sharpe 35 minutes for Summers this year 22 minutes for Wilcox this year You can't tell what a player is capable of doing by giving him 200 minutes in an entire NBA season. There are about 20,000 minutes available for a coach to dole out each year and they can't spend 1% to develop young players? Gotta be smarter than that.
I think coach Q summed it up pretty well: I tried to watch as much of this as I could but eventually I started watching Storage Wars.
LOL - you guys watch the strangest programs when you aren't watching the Pistons. .... then I suppose you could easily say that watching this version of the Pistons is stranger than any of that junk.

I am unable to shoot manually with my camera, when gphoto2 is also running and in control.
OK, so there's not much we can do with that camera over USB. An EyeFi card might be the only option here (they're about $50 -- cheaper than a new camera if you just have to have some kind of tethred shooting). (See below about using the dummy API with this.)
tkr wrote:Qs 1: I just found a used Canon A590-IS, listed on my local Craiglist for $60. Will I be able to use Scanmanager to get live-view functionality as well remote control ?
Hmm...it's not supported out of the box but CHDK is available for it. I don't know if live view is available in standard CHDK builds yet or if live view or remote shooting via CHDK work with libgphoto2 at all. So the answer is maybe, with some setup, but its untested. Having said that, it would be great if someone could test gphoto (and ScanManager) with CHDK and exactly this sort of camera (i.e. one with no remote support out of the box but supported via CHDK). It would vastly increase the number of cheap compacts you could run tethered if we knew this worked.
tkr wrote:Qs 2: Am I using the 'dummy API' in the manner it which it was intended ? If I'm right, I should be able to use this method to also import some shots that I had taken earlier, and run the calibration/rotation/cropping on them
Well, not really. ScanTailor does the post-processing job brilliantly -- much better than I could do it (and there are other packages discussed here too -- e.g. BookScanWizard -- that will also do a very good job for batch processing).
The dummy API is really designed for something like the EyeFi card (people have used it with your camera with some success, e.g. here http://forums.eye.fi/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1100), not for importing existing pictures. With an EyeFi card you can use something like ScanManager with any camera. Just point it (using the Dummy API) at your EyeFi network share and shoot manually. As soon as a new shot gets written to the SD card in ScanManager will see it and move it to the PC, showing you a nice zoomable view of the shot on screen so you can check it as you turn pages (you can also reorder shots by dragging the thumbnails around and delete a bad shot by right-clicking on the thumbnail so one mistake doesn't mean you have to open up scantailor in interactive mode and start fiddling with the pages).
tkr wrote:Qs 3: Most cameras have a grid superimposed on the viewfinder, which helps in lining up the edges of the book. Would that be something that your live-preview would (optionally ?) be able to incorporate - don't know what is involved or how much work it is. The advantage would be that it would also save a rotation step in software - the step is currently needed when the book edge is a bit tilted.
A grid is easly enough to do. I'll probably include one when I add the cropping code.

Hi there,
I recently started using Sabayon and from the beginning somehow my sound didn't work correctly.
I read an article in the Wiki about fixing problems with Intel sound cards (http://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title ... ound_Cards) and after that I could playback sound.
The problem I still have is that when I use the audio mixer applet in my XFCE menu panel all kinds of strange things happen: If I set the volume control to any channel that affects curent audio playback (PulseAudio master, HDA Intel PCH Alsa mixer master, Alsa mixer Headphones) and I scroll under a certain level it mutes one of the other master channels (if I do it in Alsa it mutes pulseaudio and vice versa). And doing some things (I have no idea what exactly triggers it) seems to reset the alsa mixer master and headphones channels to 0 and the speakers channel to max.
Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this? I've tried editing settings files for both alsa and pulseaudio, ... I just have no idea what's going on.
Are there outputs to commands that I can post that can help you identify the problem?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
