Have pity on Miss South Carolina. She was the victim of bad advice.
Brooke Mosteller of Mount Pleasant, this year's Miss South Carolina, is mortified over what was supposed to be a witty quip at last Sunday's Miss America pageant. It fell flat, and she feels terrible about that.
Other contestants offered bon mots as they introduced themselves to the audience. But here's Brooke's stab at comedy: "From the state where 20 percent of our homes are mobile, because that's how we roll, I'm Brooke Mosteller, Miss South Carolina."
Mostly silence. And she knew for sure she'd blown it when someone tweeted: "Brooke Mosteller, please move to Georgia. Your South Carolina citizenship is revoked."
That tweet might have come from an official with the Manufactured Housing Institute. Manufactured home, by the way, is the politically correct name for them. Don't ever call them trailers.
Mosteller is correct that South Carolina ranks near the top in the nation in the percentage of residents who live in mobile … uh, manufactured homes. But most are set in place and don't roll at all.
Anyway, Brooke's sin wasn't just offending manufactured home dwellers. It also was saying something that wasn't particularly funny.
And she didn't even make it up! The wisecrack was written for her by the pageant's script writers. (Did you know the Miss America pageant had script writers? Judging from the quality of what is uttered at the pageants, that is hard to believe.)
Brooke said she made a big mistake in letting them persuade her to use the joke. But, then, haven't we all been there?
Most of us have had at least one friend who would get us into the same kind of trouble: "Go ahead, (insert really stupid action here that you will regret for the rest of your life). It'll get a big laugh!"
The intelligent reaction, of course, is to carefully consider the consequences and back off. Instead, we're more likely to reply: "Really? You think so? OK, then, here goes."
So, you can't really blame Brooke entirely for this gaffe. But if she had just given it a little extra thought, she might have come up with a better witticism. Here are a few possibilities:
– "Hi, I'm Brooke Mosteller from South Carolina, the state that started the Civil War."
– "Hi, I'm Brooke Mosteller from South Carolina, home to such political luminaries as "Pitchfork Ben" Tillman, Strom Thurmond and that guy who called the president a liar on national TV."
– "Hi, I'm Brooke Mosteller from South Carolina. Jadeveon Clowney, yaaaaay!"
– "Hi, I'm Brooke Mosteller from South Carolina, where we have one of the highest gonorrhea rates in the nation. But not the highest, right Miss Louisiana and Miss Mississippi?"
– "Hi, I'm Brooke Mosteller from South Carolina. Tax-free gun-sale day, need I say more!"
– "Hi, I'm Brooke Mosteller from South Carolina, and we still fly the Confederate flag on the lawn of the State House."
– "Hi, I'm Brooke Mosteller from South Carolina, where you can hike the Appalachian Trail and still get elected to Congress."
Actually, some of those might be a little snarky, too. If she wanted to avoid offending anyone, she might have gone with something much tamer:
"Hi, I'm Brooke Mosteller from South Carolina, and our state snack is boiled peanuts."
Then again, maybe the mobile home quip wasn't so bad after all.

One of the worst feelings is when you want to help your best friend, make her happy, heal her pain, calm her anger, and fix the bad.... and yet you can't do any of it. You can't do a god damned thing. It becomes especially hard when said best friend zones out into the la la land of "I'm fine, nothing is wrong" and looks at you like your crazy.

Soak up diving`s centenary at super saturation
The extraordinary true story of John Scott Haldane, the non-swimmer who pioneered modern diving techniques, will be brought to the public next week with special events organised and hosted by the University of Plymouth to mark the centenary of modern diving and glimpse into the future.
Through film, music, talks, exhibitions, demonstrations and award-winning photography the university's Super Saturation: A Celebration of the Centenary of Modern Diving through Science and the Arts events (Friday 31 October - 2 November) will delight, amaze and inform not just diving enthusiasts but people of all ages and backgrounds, thanks to the input of the acclaimed experts taking part.
It was in 1908 that J S Haldane's diving tables were adopted by the Admiralty, allowing divers to reach greater depths for the first time without suffering 'the bends'. But what makes Haldane's work even more remarkable is that while he made the pioneering dives to devise the tables - he was actually a non-swimmer! Hailed as one of the bravest serial experimenters ever, it was Haldane who also first put canaries into mines to warn of gas and his achievements will be recounted in a talk by prize-winning biographer Dr Martin Goodman (Saturday 1 November, 10am). Entitled Suffer and Survive: The Extraordinary Life of J S Haldane, it will be held in Theatre 2 of the Roland Levinsky Building and will be followed by the book signing.
"What Haldane achieved, particularly when you consider this was the early 1900s, is nothing short of incredible," said Dr Goodman, Lecturer in English and Creative Writing in the university's School of Humanities, who earlier this year won the prestigious British Medical Association's Basis of Medicine book prize for the biography . "It is only fitting that we make such an achievement the focal point of a weekend of celebration of all things diving with a diverse range of events everyone can enjoy, not just enthusiasts."
Other speakers at the event will be Professor Philip James from Dundee, a world expert on hyperbaric medicine; Dr Maurice Cross recounting adventures from the golden age of diving, and Professor Michael Punt and Dr Martha Blassnig, who will showcase some of the finest early dive film on record.
Throughout the weekend, the Portland Square Building will host a display of the underwater photography of Richard Merritt, Lecturer in Computing at the university, who last year won a gold medal in the Royal Photographic Society's International Print Exhibition for his stunning shot of a hammerhead shark. This, and other incredible photos captured by Richard - who has been taking underwater photography for 30 years - will be on show, along with a special audio feed of composer David Dunn's music for hydrophones.
On the Saturday, the Crosspoint area of the Roland Levinsky Building will feature a host of dive-related stands, music and film streaming plus a special exhibition by the Devon and Cornwall Police and Coastguard unit as well as a display of historic diving equipment.
Diving in the South West features diving footage down the years, which has been put together by the South West Film and Television Archive, and the film theme continues with a special showing of Buster Keaton's 1924 diving-based film, The Navigator (Sunday 2 November, 4 - 6pm). Screened in the Jill Craigie Cinema, each showing will be accompanied by live improvised music by Half Moon Assemblage.
No celebration of 100 years of diving would be complete without the opportunity to take the plunge, so a dive boat will run out from Dartmouth on the Sunday morning (weather permitting), for qualified divers. There will be a separate charge for this event.
Tickets for the talks cost £5 each (£3 over 60s), while admission to the film is £5 (£3 over 60s). There is a special offer of £10 for all talks and film (£6 over 60s). All events are free of charge for university staff, students and Friends Plus. Tickets for the National Marine Aquarium concert are £10 each (free to university staff, students and Friends Plus).

(WMC) - New details have surfaced in a bizarre barricade situation that ended with a Germantown, Tennessee woman's arrest - wearing just her undergarments.
On Sunday, WMC Action News 5's Kontji Anthony learned about the suspect's criminal past and spoke with the victim in the attempted murder case.
Police say Susan Bass Parker held them at bay in a five hour barricade on Saturday.
The affidavit says Parker was caring for Adriane Merrill's dogs and when Merrill went to retrieve the animals Saturday, Parker said, "Hell no (expletive)."
Merrill ran out the back door with both dogs in hand, and according to the affidavit, heard two gun shots. Merrill reportedly looked back to see Parker pointing the gun at her.
Trapped inside the fence, police say Parker tried to grab one of Merrill's dogs by the ear. When Parker failed to snatch the dog from Merrill, police say Parker told Merrill to, "Get on the (expletive) floor."
In a tear-filled phone conversation, Merrill says she thought her life was over at that moment. She reminded Parker she had a son in the car and to please not kill her. That is when Merrill says Parker then beat her in the head with the butt of the gun.
The affidavit says as Merrill left, Parker told her, "If you ever come back here, I will blow your head off."
Police later responded and said Parker would not come outside.They eventually broke into Parker's home and took her into custody wearing only her undergarments.
Merrill says the only reason she is alive is because of the grace of God.
General Sessions Court records reveal this is not Parker's first run in with the law. Last August, Parker was charged with identity theft and has an October 6 court date.
Parker is charged with attempted second degree murder, aggravated assault and reckless endangerment for Saturday's incident, and is due in court on Monday. Her bond is set at $750,000.

Richard II
Three-Act Plot Analysis
Act I
Gloucester has been murdered. Richard banishes both Mowbray and Bolingbroke and refuses to listen to any good advice. He's run through all the money his ancestors collected, so when John of Gaunt dies, he decides to seize his property to help pay for the war in Ireland.
Act II
While Richard goes to Ireland to fight the war, Bolingbroke comes back from his banishment to demand his inheritance. Pretty much everybody thinks he's been treated badly and that Richard is doing a bad job as king. By the time Richard returns to England, he's more or less lost control of the kingdom.
Act III
Henry makes Richard publicly give up the crown so that it looks like Richard voluntarily stepped down. (No one really buys this, but it's good for appearances.) Richard is separated from the queen, imprisoned, and eventually killed. Henry executes some enemies, pardons others (like Aumerle), and feels bad about Richard's death. He decides to deal with his guilt by going on a pilgrimage.

Drake is Emotional
That shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. What may interest some, however, is his specific emotional nature. Upon examination, we see that, from album to album, Drake's thoughts on the complexity of Romance, dealing with success, his peers, and his wealth paint an interesting, if not confusing, picture of possibly the most important artist of our generation. A few thoughts below:
- I would posit that Drakes emotional concerns are a predictor of success. Based on that assumption, Jhene Aiko is the next big thing in R&B
- On his first "mixtape", he's cautious about success, but also enjoying it. Ironically (or befittingly), he sees no reason to be cautious about romance
- Success hits Drake hard. By 'Thank Me Later', only his first studio album, he is already suffering from it. By his second album, his suffering is mitigated only by the fact that he got rich off a mixtape
- Only on his latest album does he realize, despite his upbringing and child stardom, just how real he is, as evidenced by the amount of content that leads Drake to believe he's Big Meech
- While he's not quite enjoying success by the time he released 'Thank Me Later', he is still trying to live, as evidenced by the amount of 'Gotta Get Down on Friday'. However, those seem to be the last gasps of Drake's social life as there's little evidence of him enjoying life or going out on albums 2 and 3

My girlfriend put me on to this young cat from Brooklyn. If you surf the blogs or twitter at all, you've probably already come across this guy. I'm probably late to the game on this one, but even so, I felt the need to put in my two cents. This kid is rapping over MF Doom and J Dilla beats and doing them justice to the fullest extent. People are going to say The Progessive Era is the East Coast answer to OFWGKTA and to some extent it is; but when you get down to it, this music is, in my opinion, in not just a different lane, but a different league. It's getting back to the basics of hip hop: beats and rhymes without the theatrics. Listening to 1999 brings me back to the first time I heard albums like Illmatic. I could be a little over enthusiastic about this guy, but this is some of the best music I've heard in five or six years.
I don't love reblogging, but one of the few sites I do like to reblog from is Hypbeast. It's probably the only blog thats transitioned from a place where sneakerheads came to find out about Nike Tier 0 accounts to a legitimate landing page for all things culture (and it's probably the only site I read in 2006 that I still read today). This is a perfect example of how the site has grown up over the years. Jeff Staples of Staple Design has been moderating a series called the 'Scholastic Survey' focused on bringing issues of education to the community that frequents sites like Hypebeast and High Snobiety. I've watched a couple of the videos from the series casually but this one, featuring a professor from my alma mater, piqued my interest. In any case, enjoy.
Interesting column bringing a more focused and international perspective to the often misdirected idea that small businesses are best and create the most jobs.

MIAMI -- For LeBron James, the mask was distinctive.
His effort, that was basically the same as usual.
So, too, was the outcome for the New York Knicks.
Playing with a dark carbon-fiber mask to protect his broken nose -- a "menacing" look is how Heat coach Erik Spoelstra described it -- James scored 31 points to help Miami beat the reeling Knicks 108-82 on Thursday night.
"I tried to put pressure on the defence, tried to make plays and I was happy to be back on the floor," said James, who missed one game because of the nose, which got broken on Feb. 20 at Oklahoma City.
James made 13 of 19 shots and topped 30 points for his fifth consecutive outing. He said he plans to play with a mask for the next couple weeks, at least.
"As much as I don't like it, I have to figure out how to make it work," James said.
Dwyane Wade added 23 points, shooting 10 for 13 from the field. The Heat outscored New York 23-3 over the final 7:02 of the third and won their sixth straight.
The Heat shot 61 per cent, while the Knicks shot 37 per cent. No team shot better than 49 per cent against Miami in 10 games during February, and none of the last four Heat opponents have shot better than 40 per cent.
"Where we need it to be," Wade said. "That's how we win games."
Carmelo Anthony scored 29 points for New York, but none in the final 21:38. Tyson Chandler had 19 points and 16 rebounds, and J.R. Smith added 11 points for the Knicks, who fell to 2-10 in February.
"I don't know if we got defused or what," Anthony said. We didn't bounce back."
Raymond Felton, in his first game since being arrested on gun charges, missed six of seven shots and scored only two points for the Knicks.
"No excuses," Felton said.
Norris Cole, Mario Chalmers and Ray Allen each scored 11 points for the Heat, who are 41-7 in February games over the last four seasons.
James got the buzz for this one going just before tip-off, strapping the mask over the top half of his face, the deviation from the usual clear-plastic look enough to send Twitter users into some sort of commenting overdrive.
"He played like Batman," Heat forward Chris Bosh said.
More importantly to the Heat, the mask didn't seem to impair James' vision much. James had 11 in the opening quarter, the Heat finished the period with a six-point lead and soon stretched the margin to 16 in the second quarter. A hook shot from Wade in the lane was his seventh straight make, giving Miami a 43-27 lead and indicating things would be a runaway.
Eventually, they indeed would.
But New York made it interesting for a bit.
Anthony had a brilliant flurry, scoring all 16 of his second-quarter points in the final 5:52 of the period as New York erased just about every bit of that big Miami lead. Then with 8:36 left in the third, Anthony set up Smith for a jumper that got New York to 64-61.
And from there, it was all Miami.
That's when the huge run to end the third got started. The Knicks missed 12 of their final 13 shots to end the third -- their only field goal in the final 8 1/2 minutes was a layup by Tim Hardaway Jr. -- and the Heat just got rolling. For some perspective, James had 12 points in the quarter while the Knicks, total, had 14.
"We crumbled," Anthony said. "It got out of hand."
Shane Battier set up James for a down-the-lane dunk that got Miami's lead back to double digits at 72-61 and the snowball just kept growing. A 10-0 run in the final 2:21 of the quarter turned it into a runaway; James got fouled by Anthony and turned it into a three-point play with 1:58 left, then beat Anthony on a cut and accepted a pass from Cole for an easy layup on the next possession.
One trip later, Allen hit a 3-pointer, and just like that, Miami's lead was 23, the outcome quickly becoming academic.
NOTES: It was the first time in Miami as an opponent for Hardaway, with the Knicks bench at the end of the court where Tim Hardaway Sr.'s retired jersey number hangs from the rafters. ... Wade missed about three minutes in the first quarter to get an ankle re-taped. ... Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was among the stars in attendance. ... The Heat didn't get a single offensive rebound until the fourth quarter.

I started crafting at my mother's knee. She crocheted, embroired, knitted, sewed clothing, canned and froze produce from her garden and kept house. She taught me to the same. I remember her teaching me how to get dirt out of a corner smaller than 90degrees. I recently made three quilts for my grandsons and want to learn more about quilting

I am one of those words that says more about the person who uses it than anybody else
"Hm, I feel like being triggered right now, let's hop on tumblr"
Why do people keep following me on here? I don't make posts. I don't follow back. I don't even remember what the heck I changed my password to so I can only log in on my phone. Why can't everybody just go away and leave me alone?
brucewaynesbodaciousbooty said: Why shouldn't we be using the asterisk? If you don't mind my asking.
the first three posts here explain
again another reminder to try to use my two search bars before asking me stuff like this. searching trans* in the second search bar would have brought you these results
Oh wow, I wish I had known about this earlier. If you're cis and use the asterisk on the end of the word "trans," I suggest taking a look at the link and reconsidering. I'll have to do more research on the issue.
From my understanding, all that adding an asterisk does is imply that anyone with a queer gender identity besides "trans woman" or "trans man", such as non-binary, genderqueer etc, are something similar to but not exactly "trans", when they're just as much trans as the former two identities.
Anyone whose gender doesn't precisely match that which they were designated at birth may identify as trans, by my understanding.
i mean, arguably it could imply that, but this is actually more complicated then you make it out to be here because while genderqueer ppl like me can identify as trans, for whatever reason not all of us do?
but at the same time, i have a lot of complicated feelings about that. i used to not identify as trans for fear of erasing my relative privilege compared to a lot of trans people who are a lot more visibly trans than i am, esp since i've done very little to transition (aside from changing my wardrobe a lot, and some of my mannerisms)- but then again, not all binary trans people do a lot to transition either. and sometimes i wonder if genderqueer people not id-ing as trans (including myself as i used to not) is internalized transphobia—sometimes even transmisogyny. because amab nonbinary people are perceived as and treated like trans women are (hence Sasha who is agender and amab being lit on fire for wearing a skirt), but us afab nonbinary people have an easier time escaping a lot of transphobia and are immune from transmisogyny—transmisogyny ensures amab trans people of all identities face tons of transphobia and hatred and risk of violence - but gender policing isn't so strong against afab people- so it's easy for us to divorce our identity from "the transsexual" which is characterized as freakish, monsterous and degraded
but trans people who are perceived as cis are privileged (and that includes me) - and this happens a lot to nonbinary afab people like me who even when we present as our chosen gender, often are perceived as cis (even when we aren't read as the right gender) - an afab person wearing boy's clothes isn't as often coded trans the way an amab person wearing even one feminine accessory like a skirt is
so i think the bigger issues around * don't have to do with nonbinary v binary people, but afab v amab people. the * is there to supposedly include all nonbinary people, but they fail to recognize that it's mostly afab nonbinary people who don't see themselves as trans and have the privilege to see themselves that way. thus * tends to focus the issue on afab nonbinary people and erase amab nonbinary people, and keep the other issues firmly unaddressed and even make them worse (i.e. striving to include all the afab nonbinary people without recognizing that amab nonbinary people are constantly erased and there's huge differences between how afab trans people and amab trans people are treated)
because, like i said before, us afab nonbinary people have something to gain from being perceived as "something other" than trans - as not being seen as "quite trans" because being trans is so denigrated and we have the privilege to "de-trans" ourselves in a way that amab trans people, including binary trans women, do not. Trans men, too, often, by virtue of actively identifying as a boy/man, may be more visibly trans than many afab nonbinary people. And yet, trans men also can still distance themselves from the visibility and scrutiny and violence trans women experience, and in my experience, more trans men eschew the label "trans" than trans women do. So I'm becoming more and more suspicious of afab trans people who don't identify as trans.
In short: nonbinary afab people have something to gain from the *, because we can more easily de-trans ourselves while amab trans people, including trans women, only lose out from it as they continue to exp violence and degradation and we separate ourselves from them - conveniently only using statistics of violence and assault against them to gain sympathy without addressing our privilege
my gender, for the record, is 'an insurmountable feeling of dread'
Something so true that no one else can know it

Several people called after a hooded man in a gray sweater was see pointing a handgun at passing cars around the Berkshires at Nesbit Ferry area on Friday, Nov. 4.
One upset witness told police she had been approaching a speed bump within the complex when a man matching the gunman's description jumped out of a vehicle and began running toward her, as if he was going to cross in front of her car. She slowed the car to let him cross, but it was at that moment the man pulled a gun from his waistband and aimed it at her. The witness sped away quickly.
While police interviewed her, another witness called 911 with a similar story of seeing a man acting very nervous, getting in and out of an older model Volkswagon hatch-back vehicle. When police met with her, she told them that his behavior was so suspicious she felt the need to alert authorities.
Police do not have any other leads or reports on the man's whereabouts at this time.

The Abbotsford Heat playoff hopes are fading fast as the Heat dropped the first of two straight in Hamilton on March 27th by the score of 5-3. In what was a sluggish and lack lustre affair for the Heat, the Hamilton Bulldogs caught some lucky breaks and raced out to a large lead despite being out-shot 45-22. The game did get close in the first half of the third period, but for the most part, it was all Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs jumped out to an early 3-0 lead thanks to goals by Michael Bournival, Frederic St-Denis, and Joey Tenute. All three goals came after the midway part of the first period as Heat goaltender Danny Taylor gave up three goals on just ten shots.
Danny Taylor was pulled from the game after the first period.
"It was a game where we wanted to come out and play well, now we've got to win every game that we can to give ourselves a chance at playoffs. We have been kind of slow at home to start in the past home games, we all talked about having a good start and tonight we had a good start," Joey Tenute of the Bulldogs said about the fast first period start.
The Bulldogs continued the goal scoring in the second period with a power play goal by Greg Pateryn who scored on a long point shot from the blue line which beat Heat goaltender Barry Brust who came in to start the second period. Tempers also flared in the second period as the Heats Mike Testwuide and the Bulldogs Kyle Hagel squared off in a main event fight at 6:21 of the second.
In the third period, the Heat seemed to pick up some momentum with two quick goals by Max Reinhart and Roman Horak which cut the lead to 4-2. But the things changed back into the Bulldogs favour as Joey Tenute scored his second goal of the game to put the game away. The Heat would add another late goal to cut the lead to 5-3. Despite out shooting the Bulldog 45-22, the game was never really close, as the Bulldogs led the entire game.
The Heat and Bulldog will play again on Friday night in the final meeting of the season between the two teams..
"Abbotsford is fighting for their lives too and I think that they are probably feeling good about themselves right now even though they lost the game. They kind of took it to us a little at times in the second and third period, so maybe they're thinking they have some momentum going into Friday, but we got the win. We should feel good and we should have a good solid practice tomorrow and come right back at them Friday. A quick start is important, and we will have to dictate the play the way we want to," Tenute said about looking ahead to Friday's game.
After starting the season at 15-6-3-3, the Abbotsford Heat record is now 30-29-3-6, the have won just four games out of their last 19. The Heat are battling for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. and they also have games played going against them as Chicago Wolves, Oklahoma City Barons, and Rockford Ice Hogs all have games in hand as the final push for the playoffs continue. Both the Wolves and Baron have five more games in hand to play over the Heat.

Ave ImperatorI was kinda kidding about that, but then again, a Badass Longcoat is part of the outfit of a HUGE number of superheroes (and perhaps even more supervillains), and while the samurai part of Corporate Samurai is Deader Than Disco "special agents" employed by corporations are still common in Post Cyber Punk and various forms of Spy Fiction. Regarding other discredited elements of classic Cyber Punk, obviously Japan does not take over the world (nor does China). Quite the opposite considering access to the CV Impact Site would probably have a lot to do with determining the new balance of power in the world and the Far East has all of Eurasia or the Americas and the Pacific Ocean between it in the Atlantic. In fact, if we go by proximity to the Impact Site for determining who gets first dibs on the xenotech, than Northeastern Africa and Southwestern Europe, particularly the Iberian Peninsula are by far the closet to the actual site. That said, I'm not very well versed in politics, and imagine once the true value of the CV Object was discovered, every nation in the world would be clamoring for access. Back to technological augmentation, I'm thinking that cybernetics and bionics should be portrayed in a generally neutral light. On one hand, in many places, the quality-of-life gap between societal classes has increased dramatically, but on the other hand, things like Cybernetics Eat Your Soul are complete myths, and the fact that human enhancement technologies aren't available to a large portion of the population isn't something intrinsically bad about the technology.

Anyone have anything to add?I feel like a hypocrite for saying this given that I won't actually be participating in this beyond just throwing out ideas. But still: as far as the project itself goes, I don't think you (or anyone else) should take on too prominent a role in planning things out. It sort of defeats the purpose of a collaborative work.
56 Archereon, Fri, 9th Nov '12 8:03:20 PM from Everywhere.
Ave ImperatorI understand, I'm just trying to keep this thing moving. Lack of momentum is what killed the other collabs.
This is a signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
Raven WilderIf you want momentum, I'd suggest coming up with some ideas for individual superheroes now and worry about world building details later. Here's a couple ideas I'm willing to throw in the pot:
Deep C: Cameron Carmichael Caruthers is a former Navy soldier who was technologically modified for deep-sea operations: he can breathe under water, withstand the high pressure and bitter cold of the ocean floor, and use echolocation to observe his surroundings. Coupled with some enhancements to his physical strength and reflexes, he's a formidable aquatic warrior. However, his physical enhancements require battery replacements every so often to remain effective, otherwise he's reduced to the level of an invalid. These batteries aren't cheap, so "Deep C" Caruthers has taken to doing very dangerous and not-quite-legal salvage work to keep himself afloat. He complements his aquatic abilities with a small submarine he picked up that, when he needs it to, can become a Humongous Mecha for him to pilot. The most expensive quarry he goes after are pieces of alien technology that sunk into the ocean, but he'll also salvage stuff from more mundane shipwrecks, and even transport cargo or passengers if the pay is right (and if the pay is right, it's usually because what he's transporting is likely to be attacked by pirates or customs officials). Since a lot of his work falls outside the law, he sells most of what he finds at the floating city of Galtopia, created by one of those obscenely rich anarchists who wanted to make their own country free of all laws and government (though said rich anarchist still wields immense power, natch). In Galtopia, Deep C has gotten a reputation for his Chronic Hero Syndrome, and can often be roped into helping someone even when there's no money in it, though he'll gripe about it all the way.
Lucid: Jane Wills was born with the psychic power of astral projection: when she's asleep, her dream-self manifests in reality and can interact with the physical world. Because this astral projection obeys the logic of dreams rather than reality, it is immensely powerful but also prone to causing destruction with its random, nonsensical behavior; Jane has been relentlessly trained to control herself and behave rationally even in her dreams But one day, other astral projections start showing up all over the place; some are malicious, but even the well-meaning ones can cause lots of trouble due to their erratic behavior. Jane eventually deduces that a scientist who once studied her psychic power has found a way to replicate it in other people, resulting in these other astral projections who don't have the self-control she has. Jane takes to fighting the other projections under the code-name Lucid, partly to stop the trouble they're causing, but also so she can get info from them on the scientist who gave them her power. She feels responsible for her power causing so much trouble, and is dedicated to finding the scientist and stopping his mad experiments.
What do you think?

58 Archereon, Sun, 11th Nov '12 1:43:20 PM from Everywhere.
Ave ImperatorBoth are fine ideas for characters. In fact, a lot of those ideas could tie in very well to some of mine and those of the other people involved in this so far. Particularly the corporate floating city thing. (I had an idea for a city out in the middle of the Atlantic occean that developed around the anchor site of an orbital elevator built to a captured and hollowed out asteroid using reverse engineered xenotech; perhaps we could combine those ideas) Resetlocksley decided he wouldn't be able to write anything for this PM'd me a really interesting character concept but asked not to post about it on the thread because he'd rather not someone use it for something other than this. As for my own characters, I've got a few, in particular a pair of characters who usually work together, though they fall a bit too far down on the Sliding Scale Of Anti Heroes (still trying to decide on border of III and IV, IV and V, or V and outright villains) to be called "heroes"
This is a signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
59 Sijo, Sun, 11th Nov '12 4:00:44 PM from Puerto Rico
Hmm...I think that what we need right now are a) an official name for this setting, and then b) a summary of all the ideas agreed upon. Then it could be posted in its own page, and/or developed further.
Forum talk is just casual talk. It's not a debate you have to win.
60 Archereon, Sun, 11th Nov '12 4:34:41 PM from Everywhere.
Ave ImperatorAh names. Not much else about writing frustrates me more. I rarely do Meaningful Names for characters, but I can never think of names that sound good to me. "Post Impact" is the first thing that came to my mind, but that's hardly indicative.

Shut up!Hey, you guys need help with names? I have lots of ideas. Any characters in particular you're struggling to name? Wait...oh, my mistake. That's what happens when you read too fast...you're trying to name the setting. Let me see...alien artifacts...mysterious technology...superhuman powers...heroes and villains and everything in between... I have no ideas yet, but I'll think about it. I don't think I'll be able to write anything for this, but I'll definitely chime in with some ideas and whatnot from time to time, if that's cool with the rest of you. :) Hmm. At this point, I'm comfortable placing my character idea in your hands, Archereon. If you want to use it for this, go right ahead...or even make it available for someone else to do something with it, either way is cool with me. This way something might actually come from my idea.
Fear is a superpower.
62 Sijo, Mon, 12th Nov '12 4:13:24 PM from Puerto Rico

Hmm...It works for me. But more important is a summary in one place of all the facts (as decided so far) so that people can see it and know what it's all about. (A post here will do.)

Hmm...Everything looks good to me. And I also vote for the idea for the Ocean City that studies the "object". It makes sense AND makes the setting more unique.

Ave ImperatorIt's also consistent with one idea for a real-life orbital elevator if we go that root. That said, the city would have to be on the Equator to be the anchor point for an elevator, which also provides a good reason for it to be out there rather than in Africa or Europe, and gives a few interesting ways for it to be powered; A. By bringing power down the orbital elevator's cable from solar collectors connected to the station at the time of the cable That's suboptimal even with room-temperature superconductors because of the huge distance involved, so option B is more likely. B. By "beaming" the power (with lasers) from orbiting solar collectors directly to solar collectors on the ground. While the atmosphere would limit the effectiveness and it'd cause a fair amount of heat pollution, it has the advantage of not requiring miles of superconductive wires C. Mix the above two: Power is beamed to the orbital elevator and carried down via the cable so that the solar collectors can spend more time on the sunlit side of Earth .

Raven WilderSounding good so far. Now here's something to consider: since we're on an English language forum, I'm gonna assume most people who might write stuff for this setting are from Europe or North America, meaning characters and stories are likely to be based in those areas. Given that, we should probably decide whether we want current geo-political boundaries to remain largely the same in 205X, or if we want to add stuff like a North American Union or an independent Scotland to the mix.

Ave ImperatorIn my opinion, we should shake things up a bit. For example, if we extrapolate on current political trends with some degree of pessimism, it's quite possible that "Pax Americana" has come to an end by the 2050s, and the US is starting to go the way of the Roman Empire, which is to say part of the country is in severe decline, and some other parts are in less severe decline. The latter region would be a great place to put some of the cyberpunk elements in. I'm not saying we should go as far as Divided States of America or One Nation Under Copyright, but America as a partially Vestigial Empire makes room for a lot of interesting politics. Of course, if we wanted to go even further, we could have the CV Impact Event trigger the Yellowstone Supervolcano, which would basically wipe the US and the entire Western hemisphere off the face of the Earth, which creates a great many interesting political situations but has the problem of making the setting sort of After the End in all but the best case scenarios for such an eruption. As for the rest of the world, there's a great many ways this could go. Contrary to popular belief, in its current state, China will not take over the world; indeed, their economy is so intertwined with that of the US that it's likely that the decline of the US would drag China's economy down into a severe crisis. Of course, that also leaves Japan in an extremely uncomfortable position, since they don't get along very well with of Russia or China, and without the backing of the US, things could very easily get ugly. Not sure what would become of Europe, though given that they'd have very easy access to the CVI site, I imagine European nations would be comparatively well off. With the decline of the US and presumably the end of NATO, a United Europe, at least in terms of a unified military to better assure mutual defense.

I... don't buy about 80% of this, frankly. Or rather, while most of it follows in broad terms from a "collapse of the US" premise, that premise does not follow - even with "some degree of pessimism" - from the real-world decline of the US as an international hegemon. (And yeah, the supervolcano is not a good idea). Also, while it works as a placeholder, I'd rather not have Heaven Seed be the final name. One question that I don't believe has been raised: the exact status of actual aliens in regard to the CV Impact Event.
75 Sijo, Thu, 15th Nov '12 4:14:01 AM from Puerto Rico
Hmm...I also would rather not go fully After the End here. But I'm OK with a (partial) Cyberpunk future. But not too dark either; there has to be enough optimism that heroic characters would fit in.

Manchester, Connecticut-(February 24, 2012) Wanda Reyes-Dawes, Counselor/Coordinator of Academic Advising at Manchester Community College has received two scholarships from the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA).

Another objective of the Administrators Institute is to help professionals to develop a clearer sense of academic advising programs, how to effectively administer them, and how programs should fit within the institution.

Where are the Unborn on Your Justice Scale? Comments
If President Obama is re-elected his pent up rage from having been resisted by so many, and from having had to comply with annoying perfunctory American campaigns and elections that prevented him from ruling full-bore and unconstrained, will express itself in an immediate catharsis of anger against the Church, the unborn, and those who fight for them.

Great article and point well said. The problem we have is that we have a vast majority of our USCCB that just doesn't give a damn about abortion. Their silence and inaction is very telling.

Wondering about the dearth of comments here. I had to read this 2-3 times to let it sink in. Only then did I realize we have Patrick Henries in our midsts. Thanks be to our God for your courage and insight. We must pray as if it all depends on God, however, I hear some are moving to strengthen this land at the county levels with their Bishops and Sheriffs. Hopefully, engine searches can assist folks.

Hi everyone,
I am torn between voting for Romney based on our fundamental religious beliefs and voting for Obama based on the churches perceptual concern for the poor, the immigrant and the weak.
Traditionally, Republican administration seeks to undermine or under-fund resources that the poor or the "under-valued" of society rely on. Although it tends to remain close to issues such as abortion and same-sex unions.
While Democratic administration seeks to fully back and support these services.
Is it wrong to ignore the fact that millions more will be impacted directly (children, the elderly and women past child-bearing age) by legislation that may impact their lives directly?
Which is the lesser evil? The option that adheres to fundamental doctrinal values or the option that seeks to care for those whom Jesus told us to love and shepherd: the poor, the sick, the old and the forgotten?
