Hi everyone! Finally, the Demo is ready and it has been approved in Desura.

If you like the demo we would appreciate a good score in Desura or a yes for our Greenlight submission: Steamcommunity.com. Help us get into Steam!

Hi, i don't really know where to post this but i have some questions about the game:
-will there be an option to deactivate "super power" (i know it's cool and all, but i fantasise about a simple combat between martial artists, at least it would be nice to get the guns and beams out of the fight)
-Will there be more fighting moves ?
-Would it be possible to have multiple save in final slam mode. As i enjoy playing with my different caracters without erasing the progress i made with another one.
-And will there be a story mode where you play with the caracter i created. I don't know even a kind of editor that allow me to write the dialog and define which caracter you will fight (a different save for different story)
-I don't know at which point the season end in final slam mode ...
And last but not least thank you very much for this game, it's really enjoyable, i love it !
Anyone else gettong MCF errors when trying to download the demo?
We are currently trying to resolve the MCF issue. For the moment, you can download the Final Slam 2 Silver version (demo) from the indiedb page... Indiedb.com (click on IndieDB)
You're not the only one. I'm getting the same errors when I try to download and install the demo using the Desura client.

Wow this looks interesting looks like a mixture of tekken anime and them cool flash stickman games not saying the art but the way the charicters move . looks realy cool :)
I guess the first one wasn't the Final Slam after all.
Did my research on this game, Awesome that you can create a fighter, love the idea of there being 80 slots for creation and being able to share them.
My only gripe is that it's 2D Side-Scrolling and not 3D, but I guess you can make an arguement on 3D Fighting Games not being good as the 2D ones.
Hmmmm for me, not all 3D>2D and not all 2D>3D and it all depends on what the player wants from the game that can satisfy him/her. Thanks for the support, AyaneShadow. And thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it much.
Thanks, Enjoyed The Demo. Looking foward to The Full Release.

Angellinas Tits And Ass Are Great
This day was one of the best days ever for working out, and I will tell you why. As Im jogging around the neigborhood, I realize Im infront of my friends Angellinas house, so I decided to stop by and say hello. Once inside, I really started feeling hot. I dont know if it was because I was running, or because of Angellinas tits, either way I asked her for some ice to cool off, and actually, the ice started to get me horny, and once I start, I dont stop. Angellinas tits and ass are great. I started licking her tits with an ice cube in my mouth and moved on to her clit and ass.

The state of Tennessee is planning on increasing its scrutiny of health insurance rate hikes. It is getting a $1 million U.S. Health and Human Resources grant to aid the effort. On the whole, we think this can be money well spent. So do a number of consumer-advocate groups, including the Tennessee Health Care Campaign. Until recently, rate-hike proposals on group policies in Tennessee didn't have to be submitted to a state agency for approval.
This is a difficult time of transition for people in public office. The elections are over, and those who failed in their bids for re-election are still in office until September. It has to be tough. But despite the outcome of the elections, we believe these officials should hold their heads up for the work they have done for the community. We know each and every one of them have contributed in the community in some way. They have attended meetings and attempted to sort out the complex business of running a county in many important ways.
Picking up a win at Harriman Middle School is never an easy thing to do, but that's just what the Oliver Springs Bobcats did Thursday night as Larry Green's squad picked up a 20-6 victory over the Blue Devils in the season opener for both teams.
The Cherokee Middle School Yellow Jackets turned in a dominating 40-0 victory over the Norwood Jaguars Thursday night.
The Rockwood Middle School Tigers opened the 2010 season with a rousing 42-8 win over Midway Thursday night in Rockwood.
A lot of colorful linguistic hybrids — portanteaus, if we must get technical about these accordion phrases — have emerged in recent times. Some that have been difficult to escape are:
• Staycation: Vacationing close to home because travel is expensive in tough economic times.
• Frenemy: A friend, partner or ally who is also a competitor or rival.
• Brangelina: I don't even want to go there on this one.
I came across a new hybrid recently that I have readily embraced: civilogue.
A Rockwood man is scheduled to appear in Roane County General Sessions Court next month on bomb-making charges.
Brian Bashaw, 45, was arrested on Aug. 8 after police went to his home at 324 S. Chamberlain Ave. to serve him with a vandalism warrant.
There, police said, they discovered five pipe bombs.
The courthouse steps aren't always the easiest to get up and down. Slips and falls have happened from time to time. Officials recognize the danger, which is why they plan to have the steps remodeled.
"It's going to be over Labor Day weekend because they need the extra time for the courthouse to be closed to complete this project," said Roane County safety officer Scott Stout. "They basically will be taking off all the tile, reforming the steps."
When Rebecca Northern took a dive into her pool to cool off a couple weeks ago, it was very nearly her last act.
What saved her life was a 10-pound fuzzy fireball.
The Kingston woman had been working in the sunroom on one of those dog days in August.
Done with her tasks, she only meant to swim a few refreshing laps in the inground pool at her parents' home on Alma Lane.

God became a pastor
for a little church in the backwoods
of the South, nestled
somewhere in the Ozarks where
there were more squirrels
in the steeple than seats in the pews.
He rebuilt it from the ground up,
starting with the foundation He
poured with help from a member
in the construction business.
He bought nails and lumber
from the nearest hardware store;
the shopkeeper's son painted
smoothed baseboards a pleasant
off-white while He worked
on the roof. The oldest lady
in the community brought aloe
for His chapped hands; her daughters
made sandwiches for the hungry
workers while their children planted
posies and peas in the garden.
When He was finished building,
He removed the weathered sign hanging
at the end of the road. The little ones
painted a new sign with stars and hearts
and tiny handprints pointing the way
to the Dogwood Homeless Shelter.

Hays Regional Airport breaks ground on renovations

After four quiet months at Hays Regional Airport following Great Lakes Airlines' early departure, the terminal has been busy under its new carrier.
SkyWest Airlines' first flight at the airport took off Friday, and a groundbreaking ceremony was Tuesday to celebrate the facility's upcoming renovations. Approximately 60 community members and leaders attended the program.
The upgrades will be the airport's first significant improvements since it was built more than two decades ago, said I.D. Creech, Hays director of public works. An expanded secure waiting area, new bathrooms, replaced roof and fixed HVAC system are among the projects set to be finished in February.
The Hays City Commission allocated approximately $466,400 in cash to pay for the project, and the federal government will cover approximately $918,000.
Ron Mellick, Hays city commissioner, said the renovations will make the airport the "star of western Kansas." Paired with the airport's ongoing marketing campaign, he did not think it will be hard to win back travelers and reach new customers. Free parking and the convenience of traveling from Hays are the airport's other strengths, he said.
Anne Lang, Hays, was at the groundbreaking and said she has plans to travel from the airport.
"I think it will be a good asset for the community," Lang said. "It's a great service to be able to fly out of Hays. It's convenient, the price is good. It's great. I love it."

On another thread "datalounge polarities" one poster there stated that the worst kind of posters on Datalounge are those who use datalounge as their only social outlet. He claims that we are "fucked up". It has occurred to me that yet datalounge is my only social outlet. Are there other people like me on here? It's not that I can't interact with people in real life. It's simply because I have low self-esteem and am incompetent, so I tend to avoid meeting people to protect whatever's left of self-confidence.

Greetings to all.
I found myself in a similar situation as described in the St. John v. McColley (D.N.M. Sept. 8, 2009), sans the fact that I did not posses a gun. It all happened real fast, so I did not have time to any I do not consent stuff.
The St. John v. McColley provides: Defendants lacked a justifiable suspicion that Mr. St. John had committed a crime, was committing a crime or was about to commit a crime. Indeed, Officer McColley conceded that he did not observe Mr. St. John committing any crimes and that he arrived at the theater with the suspicion that Mr. St. John was merely showing a gun, which is not illegal in the State of New Mexico. Nor was there any reason to believe that a crime was afoot. When they found him, Mr. St. John was peacefully sitting through the previews for his second movie of the day. Officers had no reason to believe that Mr. St. John had been, was, or would be involved in any criminal activity whatsoever. http://ia700400.us.archive.org/22/it...72397.48.0.pdf
Minnesota case law provides: Based on Paige, we hold that police had a reasonable, articulable suspicion that Timberlake was engaged in criminal activity based on the reliable informant's report that Timberlake was carrying a gun in a motor vehicle. STATE [of Minnesota] v. TIMBERLAKE
In State v Timberlake, a passerby had seen Timberlake dropping a gun inside a car at a gas station and called the cops. Minnesota court declared this as reliable informant's report. So, anyone in Minnesota can make a MWG call and cops have the right to harass you, point guns at you and arrest you, etc.
I am pretty confused what is the law of the land here in Minnesota. So many federal cases rule that LEO has no legal right just to stop or detain a person carrying a firearm at their discretion, yet that is what they do all the time.
I was sitting in a waiting room for my appointment a few days ago (Ive been a client for years), when several cops approached me and yelled me to put my hands on top of my head and interlace the fingers. My hands were handcuffed behind my back and I was slammed against a wall and patted down. Everything I had in my pockets was removed, and the cops went through all my stuff. One took my car keys and went to search my vehicle. Luckily they did not turn off my recorder, so I have the full arrest on tape. The incident took less than an hour.
I do posses a MN carry permit, but did not have a firearm on me when the cops attacked me, yet the call was a MWG call to which the cops responded.
In Minnesota the ban sign does not prevent me for entering the premises. Only after an employee tells me to leave, I have to depart for not to trespass. The cops did not know this law, and were inventing laws as the time went by; some were real hilarious. More important, the establishment was not even posted. And, again, I was not armed.
I ended up with a trespass notice that prevents me from entering the premises of said establishment, like Id ever go there again.
Any legal minds on board to help to clarify the law for me? I know that lots of details are lacking (and I apologize for that), but I cant provide more at the present. I hope members merely accept my story either as a hypothetical or truth for the sake of educational discussion.
Thank you.

The "Obama Curse" seems more fitting as an example of

Hey, I just saw an article in Washington Post about Obama's road to victory this year. Here's the link of you
want to check:
Basically, Obama just steamrolled Romney (their word, not mine) until Romney beat him majorly in the first debate. That evened the whole game until the election. Now, here's the catch: Obama's aides had been urging him to practice his debate, knowing that Romney would put all his remaining cards in the first debate. However, Obama was so (in hindsight, over-) confident that debate wouldn't have mattered with his lead, so he didn't take the lesson seriously. And then we know what happened afterward.
Here's the thing: is this

I'm going to make another call to unlock this to new edits. What we've got right now is a fossil page from January 2008 which is increasingly inaccurate for how Obama is perceived and depicted.
11:48:52 PM May 11th 2012
I agree with this. I don't see another politician page that's edit locked, even likely targets such as
Hillary Clinton
Sarah Palin
George W. Bush
(who is not yet under the politicians index). The assumption that it will descend into
Flame War
due to being for a political figure does not appear to be supported. Inertia isn't a good reason.
11:12:24 AM Mar 2nd 2012
Okay, so I see Barack has his fair share of
(and possibly
as well), since this page seems to praise him to the point where you can almost here the
in the editor's tone. I understand that politics is prime
Flame Bait
, but it seems very unreasonable to just shoot down every negative comment (no matter how legitimate) there is to make about him. Not even a
tab to admit he's a
Base Breaker
or walking
Flame Bait
in his own right. No need to call him
The Scrappy
though (as noted in the aforementioned fanbase, he clearly isn't), but still; judging by the comments above me, it seems we could do well to unlock this page and really do some work on it.
03:33:17 PM Mar 8th 2012
Because all politicians are
Base Breakers
Flame Bait
depending on your point of view, so why does that even need to be said? Just to tell other people you don't like him? I don't like many politicans with their own pages here, but I don't bother pointing out that they're base breakers or flame bait for me because that's apparent and redundant. Besides, I've noticed that people sneak those tropes in pretending to be "just pointing it out," then sneak in an explanation about why, then someone sneaks in natter about how one may have a point (all while pretending to still be neutral).
02:07:24 PM Apr 18th 2012
This page is utter gushing over him. That's not a good idea considering how
Flame Bait
the target is.
08:41:47 PM Oct 19th 2012
For all his unpopularity, George W Bush's page remains pretty positive overall. I like it that way. If we want to talk about Obama being flame bait and a base breaker, we'll have to do likewise for Bush (and plenty of other popular/unpopular politicians). Tvtropes is just about the last page I can go to that can talk about political leaders without descending into yet another partisan bitchslapfest. I hope we all want to keep it that way.
03:03:36 PM Feb 13th 2013
I don't know if 'bitchslapfest' is a real word. But it is from now on, because I'm using it. I think I'll start tonight. Thanks, iwishihad2000feet!
02:07:00 AM Jul 12th 2013
George W Bush's page doesn't portray him very positively, it has him listed as Butt Monkey, has a bunch of references to his torture policies (Enhanced Interrogation techniques, Insistent Terminology, Kill It With Water) and then there's Nice Job Breaking It Hero and some of the stuff in his description. Don't get me wrong I dislike both but while on Bush's page you get reminders of his torture policies and his perceived incompetence the worst you see on Obama's page has to do with him being too compromising, I think it should have some more sanely critical tropes listed, especially with knowledge of things like his war on whistleblowers and the details of his drone strike policy comes to more light, I understand not wanting to make it into a political debate but that doesn't mean hardly put a critical thing about him, we should strive for more honesty and balance don't you think?

I want to add a little correction. The article says Barack also means "blessed" in Hebrew. While that's certainly a beautiful meaning, it's not a
one in this case. Barack is actually an
name, باراك Bārāk, meaning "blessed". It does have a Hebrew cognate name, but that's ברוך "Baruch". In Hebrew, ברק "Barak" means something different entirely — "lightning".
05:08:47 PM Nov 2nd 2011
Is Obama a case of "But not too White"? I mean the fact that he is mixed race rather than blacks seems to get ignored quite a lot, especially on the lead up to the election.

A note from admin about examples:
Barack Obama as a modern politician is noteworthy to this site as a performer. He uses rhetorical techniques to obtain a specific outcome. That's storytelling. The examples here are of the guy's techniques, and how he is used in media, not about your political opinions.
subjective tropes
or "audience reaction" tropes are wanted here.

Moving a disputed example here and notifying moderator to keep an eye on it.
Barack Obama
: Although Obama is often depicted as a departure from the WASP as president norm, one can also characterize him as an extension of the trope. Obama is half-White, half Anglo-Saxon, and a Protestant. Hence, one could argue that he is two thirds WASP.

What was so wrong with the paragraph about the Nobel Peace Prize that it had to be removed entirely?
In fact, a lot general, impartial information about Obama's political background and election has been removed, too (including the fact that he's the first black president, which many would say is a
). What gives?
02:56:38 PM Sep 16th 2010
edited by SomeGuy
All right, I think a more detailed explanation is warranted.
We are not
The Other Wiki
. This isn't true just in terms of
There Is No Such Thing as Notability
, but also of general form. Stuff like Obama winning the Nobel Prize, the specifics of the elections he was involved in and his political background, this is all stuff we can get on Wikipedia, and probably with better citations to boot. By contrast, someone on the TV Tropes wiki goes to pages expecting analysis of tropes in media, which I've tried to outline to the best of my ability by emphasizing the image Obama conveys to the country, and keeping the page from getting too long by consequently cutting off the more dry, encyclopedic information.
In other words facts, impartial though they may be, are irrelevant to us if they don't impact Obama's public image, and they should be related to his image as such if they're going to be in the description. At least, that's my opinion- if you strongly and reasonably disagree, by all means revert the parts of the description you wish. I acknowledge that my rewrite was a bit of a departure and may have been a bit much given the page was only recently unlocked.

Still, I think it warrants mention that Obama's the first black president. No matter what the history books might say about him, that bit is always going to be a
prominent and
fact about the guy.
03:07:17 PM Sep 16th 2010
And, for better or for worse, reactions to that fact are the basis in some form of a lot of what is said about him in less political issue driven media.
10:21:49 AM Sep 14th 2010
Just to stick my nose into the current edit war, yes, a threat sent to the president should be taken seriously. It should certainly be investigated and looked into.
But if it's found that it was made by a drunken teenager who, you know, was drunk and not really a threat, banning him from the country for life is a bit harsh. He's a teenager who did something stupid when he was drunk, not a terrorist/communist/ninja operative plotting to kill/
the president.
02:15:48 PM Sep 16th 2010
Be that as it may, we should emphasize
Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment
. An event like this has little to do with Obama and everything to do with the President of the United States, and including it reeks of politicization.

I edited details about Obama's name. I only know a bit of Hebrew, but if Barack means blessing in Swahili, then Swahili must share some words with Hebrew (or perhaps Hebrew and Arabic share the word and and Swahili got it from Arabic- I'm really curious). Baruch means blessed in Hebrew, and I can tell that it's the same root for Obama's first name.
I think that I explained accurately why his name wouldn't mean lightening.
Edit- I answered my own question- found info
. It is from Arabic, and the example they give is like the Egyptian leader Mubaarak. Kind of interestingly that Barack and his father spell their names more like a Hebrew transliteration than an Arabic one.

for the "wrong sylLAble" trope, change the correct pronunciation to "ba-ROCK" and note that on

AcCENT Upon The Wrong SylLAble
Jon Stewart
will occasionally pronounce the President's name flatly as "Barreck Obbamuh" instead of "Ba-RACK O-Bama", usually if he's done (or not done) something particularly galling. British media sometimes mangles the pronunciation by accident ("Barreck Obamurr"), with
Doctor Who
being the
obvious example on this wiki.
This is always going to be tricky, given that we're talking about different accents and can't really break out the IPA. I'll let an American edit the American pronunciations, but for the British it's either "BA-ruck" (like the word 'barrack') or "buh-RACK uh-BAH-muh".

edited by GastonRabbit
On the subject of American pronunciations, I'm positive his last name is pronounced "oh-BAH-muh" by most Americans, with the "oh" sound sounding like the "oh" sound in "toaster." I've never heard anyone pronounce the first syllable as "uh."

-Barack means "blessed" in his father's native language (Kiswahili, aka Swahili). It sounds the same as the Hebrew word for lightning, but that's just a coincidence.
Barack means "blessed" in his father's native language (Kiswahili, aka Swahili). This is akin to the Hebrew name Baruch, also meaning "blessed". It sounds the same as the Hebrew word for lightning, but that's just a coincidence.
10:07:12 AM Sep 10th 2010
actually, BRK, which is Ancient Hebrew (and pronounced "Barak." There are no vowels, hurray for fun translating) has a slightly different meaning. It means both "Bless" and "Curse." An example of it used both ways is in the book of Job. A translator would have to guess which was the intent of the writer based on context.
01:47:14 PM May 16th 2011
Actually, wrong. Barak is lightning. BR
(pronounced Barekh) is the imperative 'bless'. The reason for BRKH used as 'curse' in the book of Job is because of the
Tiqqun soferim
deemed that it is blasphemous (or something similar) to put God's name near the word 'curse' so it was changed to 'bless'.

May I suggest an edit?
When the page was unlocked, I added under "
Fan Disillusionment
" that Progressives were unhappy with the healthcare reforms and considered them Corporatism. I'd like to add that libertarians (ideologically speaking, not just members of the Libertarian Party) were also unhappy with the outcome of the healthcare reforms for
exactly the same reason
(i.e. that the bill was Corporatist).
I am a libertarian but this isn't a biased edit. There is nothing "wrong" or "good" with the fact that at times, libertarians and progressives agree on some issues. Also, some libertarians voted for Obama simply to avoid the possibility of President Palin (cue shuddering), which would technically make them count as "fans" for the purposes of this trope.
All I ask is for the final text under "
Fan Disillusionment
" where it reads:
The outcome of the healthcare reform bill (see "Golden Mean Fallacy" below) caused a significant level of this amongst the more hardcore progressives; they expected a much more government-oriented bill and considered the final outcome (and specifically the mandate that each individual purchase health insurance) to be absolute Corporatism.

I don't know — I wouldn't think most libertarians were ever big fans, so it doesn't seem like it'd match the trope.
11:56:58 AM Jul 12th 2011
Considering how low he's currently dropped in popularity points among registered democratic voters, and the sheer number of articles discussing the disillusionment of his former enthusiasts, I'd argue that this would be a clue that perhaps some former/current fans believe the President's public policies didn't quite live up to their expectations.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to ask again in this thread: the "hottip," [birthers are] called that by people who "conservatives" see as "liberal," seems to be very blatantly saying the US right is delusional, a reasonable interpretation of the statement saying they're all birthers. Does it need to be fixed there?
(Also, there's a grammatical error.)
10:17:24 PM Jun 17th 2010
It sounds like it's calling attention to the term being a
Detractor Nickname
, but expressing it in a circuitous way.
02:40:22 PM Jun 8th 2010
In the Saturday Night Live entry under Live Action TV, one left out word makes loses the whole joke. It would read better as, "Dwayne Johnson took the role for a skit where "Barack Obama" transformed into "The Rock Obama" and proceeded to throw disagreeable advisers out a window.."
02:09:15 PM Jun 6th 2010
called that by people who "conservatives" see as "liberal"
...this seems like an unnecessary dig at the right. I can't take it out because the page seems to have been recently locked, but um...
Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment
08:55:04 PM Mar 17th 2010
edited by Rebochan
Is there really a compelling reason to have
on a page like this? I'm hardly the guy's biggest fan (or biggest enemy - more like ambivalent), but even I can see the problems this leads to. And judging by the edit history and state of the page as it is now, it looks like they're more than active.
...in fact, taking one look at the page for
George W. Bush
, there's no precedent for having examples of tropes. Despite Bush being just as polarizing as Obama, there is no list of tropes he inspired, merely works of fiction. In light of that, I find no reason for the page to have any trope examples at all. Obama's not that special.
09:16:10 AM Apr 1st 2010
But some of them are really interesting...
I suppose we could move towards sending the examples to the tropes he's an example of, rather than listing them on the actual
Barack Obama
page. But we've got to keep the stuff about geeky Obama somewhere. We've just got to.
08:46:46 AM Apr 8th 2010
What really bugs me is that we have trope examples for Clinton, and Obama, but none for
George W. Bush
, with a Cautious Editing tag on him. It just strikes me as REALLY unfair.
04:47:24 PM Apr 8th 2010
edited by FastEddie
Modified that "tag" on the Bush article. The article has trope examples.
06:20:21 AM Sep 6th 2011
I think this is a good idea. Clearly the moderators can't handle the edits to the
real life
section for Barack Obama. Why not just take the real life sections down for each President, tell tropers to go someplace else for real life examples, and only include examples in fiction?
06:23:09 AM Sep 6th 2011
If you really must, wouldn't it be more appropriate to stuff them in a
page instead?
03:12:21 PM Sep 6th 2011
It's less a case of being unable to handle it and more a case of the possibility such comments offending people. You would think him announcing the death of
Osama bin Laden
would be up there, but oh nos, someone from Al Qaeda might read it and suicide bomb the TV Tropes servers.
We tend to be rather careful about adding tropes for real life people.
11:26:27 PM Sep 8th 2011
Meh, I thought it was funny going from the Bush page to the Obama page just now... Bush's reflects that he had low approval ratings by the end (but throws in some YMMV about how some people still liked him/didn't HATE him). Obama's reflects the perception of Obama right after getting elected. It doesn't reflect that his approval ratings are also now down below 50, that many of his original fans (myself included, and for the record, I'm basically a weird mix of libertarian and liberal... I know, its confusing.... but I'm not really devoted to one party or the other in an inherent way) have become disillusioned by his actions (never closing gitmo, health care wasn't the socialist system we wanted, it ended up corporatist instead, no end to bush tax cuts, gave in on the debt ceilling thing, and so on... basically he hasn't done anything we thought he promised), and/or that he might be seen as a 'broken idealist' in that now HE is, in response to complaints, telling people to 'stop whining' because you can't always get what you want... which is at least pragmatic, not idealist.
Basically, regardless of whether you personally like him (just like Bush), things are not going very well, even if its not really his fault in your mind. The current rule that its not okay to post anything bad about Obama's presidency (percieved or otherwise) without saying only 'nuts' think that basically breaks the rules of cautious editing, as
11:45:59 PM Sep 8th 2011
Basically: Its equally 'offensive' to be totally one sided in our coverage of any person, arguably more so.
Due to actual facts that can be proven (Obama got so and so approval rating for this thing amongst his original supporters in this poll), it is NOT flame bait to mention that Obama isn't the glorious leader portrayed in the current page... its actually flame bait to instead constantly be deleting those legitimate posts and replace them with more "And he's so smart! And funny! People love him!" posts. I think he's smart too, but what are the polls saying? Thats what shapes his tropes, as a 'performer.' If a performer has a broken base, put it on the page. Obama has a broken base. You do the math.
05:27:00 AM Sep 9th 2011
If you are referring to the
What the Hell, Hero?
trope that kept being added and deleted then I believe this is a legitimate trope that if only for the sake of fairness should be added, or adopt a completely neutral stance and delete praising tropes.
If this is not the example you are referring to then please point out what you are talking about.
01:37:14 PM Sep 9th 2011
Thats the one. Broken Base could also be appropriate. The actual tropes attached to the situation don't matter that much, just that the situation is represented.
However, I actually think going entirely neutral might be best... but it also goes against the whole point of
T Vtropes
, in some ways, so perhaps moving all pro/anti obama tropes (a good number of them) into a YMMV section that is essentially unregulated while leaving the main page free of bias would be best.... it could keep stuff that are more about his presidency (perhaps like Both Sides Have A Point, regarding his statements in his books) and universal perceptions (that is, republicans, democrats, and everyone else agree that during the election there was worry that he was Not Too Black... so that trope could stay in that context) , while all praise and complaints could go into YMMV....
11:04:53 AM Mar 2nd 2012
Seriously, why the hell is there no YMMV page for this guy? I think it can be safely admitted that he's
Base Breaker
in some cases, so it's far worse to just allow a page only for gushing about how smart/funny/sexy/whatever he is and cut any instance that risks to imply something bad about him.
12:27:55 AM Jul 25th 2012
edited by Malchus
Again, because the last time there were people who kept using it as a way to sneak in comments about how they hate him or how some conspiracy theories of how evil he is "may have a point" while pretending to be just saying. Personally, I think
politician pages should be example-wiped now if all they're going to inspire is that and complaining about how you're not allowed to complain.

Lightning strike sparks small fire in northern Arizona
PHOENIX -- Crews are currently working a small fire in northern Arizona.
The Steed Fire began Monday after lightning struck the burn scar from the Pumpkin Fire.
The fire has burned about two acres so far and, despite it being relatively low intensity, the terrain is forcing crews to fight the fire from a safe distance.
"Risk management drives our efforts," District Fire Management Officer for the Flagstaff District Rick Miller said in a press release. "We're actively suppressing this fire, but we're doing so on our terms. The most effective tactic for this situation is to back away and let it come to us. We'll see some gain in size, but the intensity and severity of the fire will be minimal."
Smoke from the fire is visible from Highway 180.

High Output Alternators
Can someone help me clarify some issues surrounding high output alternators? I''m not sure I see the logic in having one unless one does a lot of extended cruising where your battery bank is discharged by more than 50%. It seems with three stage chargers, the charging rate is almost always in the range of 15 to 30 amps. If that is the case, the standard 35 amp alternator should be fine.
The only time I can see when a high-output alternator is when the batteries are down at the 50% level. At that point, you might get at higher charge rate. So - if you are off crusing somewhere and cycling the batteries between 1/2 capacity and 3/4 full, you will need to run the engine less. But for someone who doesn''t deplete the batteries below 3/4 full charge - I don''t see it making sense.
Hope that was clear...
Do I have it right?

More than 50 women are listed in a document provided to aldermen. They are community organizers, athletes, artists, educators, and more from throughout Galesburg's 175 year history.
The document will be used when the city considers naming and renaming things.

Velo Magazine — June 2014
- By Addie Levinsky
- Published May. 19, 2014
- Updated May. 19, 2014 at 10:21 AM EST
Cobbles, chaos, Cancellara — it must be the classics season.
The spring classics concluded with some nail-biting moments full of surprise, and in some cases, predictability. With Niki Terpstra's victory at Paris-Roubaix and Fabian Cancellara's 12th consecutive podium, the spring classics brought the most volatile, exciting, and brutal racing of the year. The June issue of Velo goes inside the races to give a comprehensive breakdown of what took place in the 2014 classics.
There's no clear answer as to which rider had the best classics season. And this is precisely why it was such an exciting year. Paris-Roubaix, the coveted "Queen of the Classics," lived up to its reputation, throwing a number of capricious elements at the riders where Niki Terpstra ultimately prevailed. With no guaranteed outcome in any of the classics this year, it was surely one of the most thrilling in recent memory. We take a look inside each of them.
"The Moment of Truth," by editor-in-chief Neal Rogers, dissects the final 10 kilometers of Paris-Roubaix. The eleven riders that found themselves in the break after 247km of racing were some of the race favorites, such as Tom Boonen and Cancellara, but how did they all get there? Profiling the eleven different riders, each shares how they arrived to the moment and why they wouldn't, or couldn't, chase after Terpstra.
Managing editor Chris Case breaks down the winners and losers of the entire classics season, in "Highs and Lows, Cobbles and Bergs," a comprehensive dissection of everyone's performance from Omloop Het Nieuwsblad to Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
"Don't Call it a Comeback," by senior writer Matthew Beaudin, profiles Phillipe Gilbert's 2014 success at Brabantse Pijl and Amstel Gold. While Gilbert swept the Ardennes in 2011 — only the second rider to ever achieve such a feat — he fell backwards in the next two seasons, until 2014. Gilbert may have already made an exceptional name for himself in the sport, but he's not done yet.
The men's peloton wasn't the only one battling the cobbles this classics season, and with an American woman standing on the podium, it was a result not to be overlooked. Lauren Hall rode to an impressive win at the women's Gent-Wevelgem. We take a look across the women's spring classics season.
Caley Fretz and Logan VonBokel kicked the tires, so to speak, on four endurance road bikes including the Cannondale Synapse, Bianchi Infinito, Calfee Manta Pro, and Orbea Avant M10. The comprehensive test, on the road and in the lab, revealed that the endurance bike category is only improving with age.
Pick up a copy of the June 2014 issue of Velo at your local bookstore or bike shop and prepare yourself for the rest of the season after an exciting spring.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
It seems that all of the reviews in this section cover the Rim--and the South Rim, to be more precise. I did see one about hiking in and out in a day, but nothing about camping in the Inner Canyon. You can hike down some way and back up again in a day, but this really isn't recommended--you will hike through several different climate changes, and depending on the time of year, you could find that you start off in snow and ice and get down to summery temperatures with a hot sun. And no matter what the temperature, it is DRY, so you have to drink a lot of water and also replenish your food supply. You can get ill if you drink and don't eat, and this could have very serious consequences. But the real way to see the Inner Canyon is to get a backcountry permit and camp for one or more nights. (The official Grand Canyon site, http://www.thecanyon.com/nps/index.htm, has all the details on getting a backcountry permit.) You can use the well-known corridor trails (the South Kaibab and the Bright Angel from the South Rim; the North Kaibab from the North Rim) and camp at the Bright Angel Campground, which is right next to Phantom Ranch and also a very well-equipped ranger station. We never saw detailed information about the Bright Angel Campground anywhere, so here's some: There are flush toilets and drinking water is available at the campground. The sites are very close together, along both sides of a footpath that runs along the side of Bright Angel Creek. Each site has just enough room for a tent (some of the sites are bigger, and could fit more than one tent), and each site has a picnic table (metal) and also a metal pole that you can hang things on. VERY IMPORTANT--as with so many wilderness/backcountry places, you must keep your food in metal containers so that the animals don't get it. Also, the animals in the Grand Canyon are aware that food can be stored in plastic bags, so you have to keep all plastic bags in the metal containers provided, and not even in your tent. Each campsite has two of these metal boxes, and we kept all food and anything that smelled like food and all cooking materials and all plastic bags in them for the duration of our trip. The sites are pretty good, but very much like any National Park campground sites. There is a small amount of vegetation about, but you can see into the other sites as you walk to and from the flush toilets. Oh, yes, in the flush toilets, there is running water, and electric hand dryers! And, as with many National Park campgrounds, outside the toilets there is a big sink to wash dishes in. You'll have realized by now that I've not said anything about getting to Bright Angel Campground. Well, you have to hike there--what else can I say? It's roughly seven (7) miles down via the South Kaibab Trail, and 9.5 miles up the Bright Angel. In the winter, there can be ice and snow at the top--and that can change so quickly! One minute, it's sunny and clear, the next, there's snow and ice. So be prepared. Many people tell you that you can prepare for this trip by walking up and down stairs, but we found that the best way to prepare was to practice hiking wherever we could and by carrying what we would carry on the day. But the main thing is to make sure that you have enough food and water to see you through.

Re: Who here has Social Anxiety/Phobia or exhibit the symptms of it?
I have similar problems, but I'm not sure mine is really a social anxiety as such... it's more a deeper insecurity which probably comes from when I had clinical depression when I was 16. Unlike other posters in this thread, I actually am pretty talkative/confident with new people/in big groups/at parties, etc... basically, I don't really worry too much what people I've just met / people I'll never see again think of me, the fear/insecurity is more what they'll think of me once they get to know me more and know my personality more intimately. And it's been REALLY debilitating for me, to such an extent that I had to drop out of university in March this year after only 6 months. I'm just RIDICULOUSLY sensitive to criticism - like, last year when I first started at uni, there was a big of group of us in the block of flats I was in who always hung out together, and even though I was getting on with most people, there was one person who I thought I was picking up that he didn't like me or thought I was annoying, and just the thought of that one person not liking me was enough to drive me crazy in my head for weeks (I think subconsciously the fear was that everyone would soon think like he did). And there'd be loads of seemingly-trivial incidents which I'd totally blow out of proportion in my head... like one time just before last Christmas, a group of us were watching X Factor, and a girl who I wasn't even THAT close to just said "shut up" to me (I was talking while someone was performing I think, or something like that), and just that cut so deep that I spent the next two days isolating myself from everyone and staying alone in my room
It was only really months later when I was at counselling that I could start to see these types of things more rationally and put them in proper proportion.
Eventually, towards the end of my time there, I was becoming such an insecure mess that the relationship I was in was just totally destroyed (ironically, the fact I was so insecure and fearful about him rejecting me and constantly seeking reassurance, actually itself led to him rejecting me because he just couldn't cope). And then I spent the next few months feeling so depressed I didn't socialise AT ALL... it's only really been the last couple of months that I started gradually rebuilding my life and going out occasionally with schoolfriends, etc. I'm hoping to restart at uni next September.
To anyone else suffering from something similar, I'd definitely advise them to go to counselling asap... I know from my experience that the longer you leave it, the more bad habits you create/entrench and the harder/longer the process to undo them is. Also, don't expect immediate results from counselling either - it really took me 4-5 months of sessions to get anywhere, because we really had to go through basically my whole childhood and last couple of years in order to really understand why and where it developed it from, before we could figure out how to move forward.

Why Jim Cramer Likes Dollar General (DG) Stock But Not Wal-Mart (WMT)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- TheStreet's Jim Cramer says Dollar General (DG - Get Report) shows the power of monthly sales numbers even though most retailers have stopped reporting them.
Cramer notes Dollar General's top line and bottom line were disappointing, but the company said April was better and May is continuing to improve. He says the progression of positive numbers excites investors. Dollar General also received two analyst downgrades last week, but Goldman Sachs recommended the stock earlier. Cramer says consumers are still trading down and are still shopping at Dollar General.
Must Watch: Jim Cramer Says Dollar General Still Benefits From Frugal Consumer
Finally, Cramer suggests investors stay away from Wal-Mart (WMT - Get Report). He is trying to warm up to Target (TGT - Get Report) because of its dividend, but he says dollar stores, particularly Dollar General, still work. TheStreet Ratings team is also lukewarm on Target, as it rates it as a "hold" with a ratings score of C+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate TARGET CORP (TGT) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and poor profit margins." STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
