"Love is not a crime; if it were a crime to love, God would not have bound even the divine with love."
-Carmina Burana
"You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
-Galatians 3:26-28, NIV
I have heard all of the most common arguments against differing sexualities from all sorts of people; religious and not so religious, educated and not so educated. These arguments generally go along the lines of 'God intended us to be heterosexual and it is unnatural to be otherwise' and 'those who call themselves homosexual choose to be so and do so against the will of God.' Allow me to approach the second argument first.
It seems to me that in the vast majority of cases, those who hold to this belief do so blindly, believing what they choose to regardless of research showing that outside factors do not have a substantial sway on a person's sexuality; regardless of the rather consistent percentages of homosexual persons in differing societies around the world throughout time; and regardless of the testimony of the gay population itself (Boswell 53). The vast majority of gay people say they simply are not and could never become attracted to a member of the opposite sex. They are the way they are not because their father's hit them when they were little or because they have a rebellious streak in them and want to defy convention, but simply because they are attracted to the same sex, always have been, and always will be, regardless of any attempt to change.
I, as a heterosexual woman, could never be sexually attracted to another woman. I have not chosen my sexual orientation; it is simply the way I am. What I don't understand is how others of the heterosexual population believe me when I make this statement about myself but deny the honesty of a tenth of the United State's population on the same topic.
I have heard it argued once before that perhaps homosexuals do not choose their sexuality, but that it might be something like a disease that God inflicts upon them as a punishment for their or their ancestor's sins. The person hypothesized this from Old Testament scriptures like Deuteronomy 5:9 in which God communicates through Moses that he will punish the children of sinners through the fourth generation, and scriptures from the New Testament like Romans 1:18-32 in which Paul states that since creation, God has given godless and wicked men over to "sexual impurity for one another."
I find three faults with this argument. The first is that God's declaration to Moses came in the time before Christ and the new covenant that His death brought about, and is therefore no longer valid (see Hebrews 8:7-13). The second is that Paul's declaration is too vague to be reasonably argued as a case against homosexuality generally: Does Paul's statement that God turns the godless over to sexual impurity imply that all those who are sexually impure are godless or that homosexuality is necessarily always sexually impure? Could Paul perhaps have meant that homosexual actions were impure for the men specified because it was against their heterosexual nature? How could it be that people who have known themselves to be homosexual since childhood could be so as punishment for godlessness or wickedness? Why are not all godless men "sexually impure"? How can it be that all homosexuals are wicked when so many of my own acquaintance are wonderful, loving people with immense love for Christ?
The third fault I find is shared by an argument which I believe goes hand-in-hand with this tri-faulted one. There are those who believe that the number of homosexuals who are infected with AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases is proof of God's judgment upon them. These are generally the same people who believe that the tsunami victims were killed because they were predominantly non-Christians. And a lot of these people believe Katrina hit New Orleans because of Bourbon Street.
These people scare me. I mean really, really scare me. How many times do we see it in scripture? Romans 14:1-13, Matthew 7:1-5, James 2:1-13, Luke 6:37-42: Don't judge. Who are we to do God's job? Who are we to say that we know exactly what He's up to? Who are we to assume that He has done this for this reason and that for that reason? As James puts it in verse 4:12: "There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and to destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?" (NIV) When it comes to judging, He has given us zero authority. And thank God for that.
Now let me go back to the first argument I presented and one of the most common—that homosexuality is unnatural. While this argument is probably the most credible of those discussed thus far, it is hardly iron-clad. To avoid any confusion, we should first determine what is meant by the term 'natural' in this context. I'll first approach this topic as 'natural' equating to 'commonplace of nature', i.e. biologically, neurologically, psychologically, sociologically normal.
Analyzed from this perspective, science suggests that homosexuality may in fact be 'natural'. As mentioned before, recent studies have shown that external factors such as parent's sexual orientation and abuse/molestation as a young child do not have a significant affect on a person's sexuality, strongly suggesting that the cause of sexuality is internal. This is supported by the fact that homosexuality is prevalent not only in humans but throughout the animal kingdom (Boswell 12, 15-16). Certainly animals don't choose to be gay because they hate their fathers or because they want to rebel. This information is strong evidence that homosexuality is by all means natural.
'Natural' could also be taken to mean 'in God's will' or 'part of God's plan'. There is doubtlessly something very beautiful about the act of love between a man and a woman—the way the two fit together so flawlessly—and it certainly seems that God intended man to love woman and woman to love man. But who can say for certain what God's intentions are? Who can say why He has a man love another man; why He lets two people of opposite, perhaps even warring cultures fall in love; why He blesses a couple with marriage but denies a woman the ability to bear a child?
When it comes to love, there are a number of questions that we simply don't have answers to, but what we know for certain is that love is the most beautiful, scariest, easiest, most complicated thing in the world and the one thing we are commanded to do most fervently. Before Jesus was killed He left His disciples with the two greatest commandments: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." (Matthew 22:37-40, NIV)
Love. Love God, love each other, love yourself. All the other laws are based on this. Everything. It's all about love. Sometimes that love happens between two people of the opposite sex, sometimes of the same, but either way, it's love—real and deep, God's sublime way of giving us a slight insight into what and who He is. Now someone explain to me how that could be sinful.
Those of you who are still paying attention may have noticed that I have yet to cover a pretty major argument, the one I have struggled most with: the fact that the Bible states in several places that homosexuality/sodomy is sinful. Don't worry, I'm getting there. Chew on all of this for awhile and we'll talk again soon.

Don't forget that Jules is actually an uncle! He loves spending his Wednesday afternoons with his sister's son, Théo, whom he can't help but shower with gifts. Being the avid art and music fan that he is, Jules takes him to discover an unusual place, right in the heart of beautiful, bohemian Paris: La Péniche Antipode.
In 2002, an investment by the company Abricadabra transformed this old freight barge into a theatre dedicated to children and their parents. Anchored on the Villette basin, it shows a range of different dramatic or dance acts, as well as the occasional concert.
Jules isn't averse to grabbing a few drinks whilst there either, his nephew going for a refreshing lemonade while he would choose a Brazilian Maté or, if it's a really hot day, a Love Potion (apple, blackcurrant, strawberry etc). At la Péniche Antipode, all of the products and drinks are from independent sources and are fair trade, which is why Jules likes it so much. It is just another reason for people to discover this artistic and laid back venue.

Although categorized as non-fiction, Finding It Again reads like fiction. It is designed for both the busy person and the not-so-busy person. What do I mean by that?
For the busy person: the book is divided into three parts, then each part is divided into three to seven chapters, therefore, if one doesn't have time, one can stop the reading after one chapter, next time, when one will have time to go back to the book, one can continue the reading without feeling any interruption of thoughts. It's the very same technique that children authors use to write chapter books for children.
For the not-so-busy person: it's a page turner, so you can finish it within one to three hours, depending on how fast you read it, how much thought you put into the authors' words, and how many interruptions you get in your daily life.
From story to story, from Naomi to Erin, to a stranger on the Internet, to Ellen, to Jordan, to Bonnie, the author has taken the reader onto a journey-his journey- to experience what it was like to look for love after 40, and after being divorced at 41 after 17 years of marriage. I became submerged under the author's words and these women's stories. Tears came to my eyes with Jordan's story. Admiration invaded my spirit in Bonnie's story.
The author is Kenn Shapiro. The book is not just a diary of his post-40 single life; it is also a reflection of multiple women's lives.
The reader will be delighted to learn that the author is a lawyer, a father, that he involved himself in community services and community service conferences, and that he's even been in the chocolate business.

melodioso wrote:Hello Knorxl,
so you're looking for a bass voice.
I'm aware that it may be a dream more than a real possibility, though... If you listened to some of the stuff that my italian friends do with their traditional polyphonic singing, you have an idea of what it is. When I am with them, the group I feel most attracted to (in terms of voice) is the dozen of bass guys. I 'hear' them better than the tenors.
That kind of voice has a very strong grounding effect on me, and I suppose my attraction for it might be expressing the importance and need for grounding at this stage in my life...
melodioso wrote: It depends on the length of the vocal folds which in women are shorter. This is for the low frequency you want.
There are tricks, like strohbass. I'm studying it in the last months, but I'm unsure if it can damage the voice. It's like the screaming techniques: somebody will not be affected like all these growlers around. Some will damage their voice. So I don't know if I should suggest. Sometimes I'm afraid for me too. The idea is to make parts of your throat resonate at a fraction of the vocal folds frequency. But my doctor said that maybe you find they resonate that way when you don't want to. My granmother has a male voice eversince and I think she has this phenomenon.
Maybe Kargyraa (partially works on the same principle) is a better choice because we have official advisors here.
Strohbass seems to resemble Tuvan singing, and if I'm correct, it's what I'm struggling with at the moment. I can produce the basis of it for a short while, but don't really succeed in adding a vocalized 'a' or 'o' on top of that (yet?). As soon as my throat gets a tad tense, it stops. Sofar there is no risk of damage as I don't force it, and I'll keep practicing that way. To be able to do it, I first practice mental and physical relaxation, and try to remain in that state.
Thanks for the info and suggestions, and I hope I can upload some results soon, so you can see what makes my cat happy!

Special 3 Minute Wonders Focusing on The Art Fund to be Screened in England
Four specially commissioned 3 Minute Wonder films celebrating the work of
The Art Fund
are to be screened on Channel 4 over four consecutive evenings from 11 May.
The films were made by up-and-coming directors Ana Garcia and Lisle Turner and produced by the award-winning production company Revolution Films, the company behind the recent acclaimed Channel 4 drama series Red Riding.
Ana Garcia said: "Before I began writing these films I spent a lot of time walking around galleries; watching people, talking to people, and all my ideas came from this. Since The Art Fund works to serve the public, this project was a wonderful opportunity to look at how people are affected by great art."
The first film, shot in the National Gallery, tells the story of The Art Fund's first major acquisition, The Rokeby Venus by Velázquez. Entitled Nude, the film incorporates into its dramatic narrative the famous incident when suffragette Mary Richardson entered the National Gallery and defaced the painting in 1914.
Antony Gormley is seen working in his studio and talking about his work in the second film, Portrait. This contemplative film closes with shots of his famous work Another Place on Crosby beach, and mentions a future work the artist is creating for Edinburgh which The Art Fund is helping pay for.
The third film is entitled Canvas and showcases an Andy Warhol painting of Muhammad Ali soon to be displayed at Wolverhampton Art Gallery as part of Artist Rooms on tour with The Art Fund. In a fictional narrative, the film illustrates the impact of the painting on a young boxer. Through art, he is brought together with his number one idol, and introduced to a potential romance.
Landscape the final film is set in Tate Modern and comprises shots of visitors as they wander around the galleries, layered with the sound of individuals talking about what museums mean to them. David Barrie, Director of The Art Fund, is also featured and the film ends with a shot of him outside Tate's entrance. The closing title emphasises The Art Funds successful campaign for free access to museums and galleries in 2001.
The films will be broadcast in the 3 Minute Wonder slot on May 11-14 at 7.55pm (after Channel 4 News).

Stocks to Watch: Google, JPMorgan, Infosys
NEW YORK -- Google(GOOG) , the Internet search giant, posted strong quarterly earnings and announced a two-for-one stock split.
Google reported first-quarter earnings of $10.08 a share on revenue of $8.14 billion, excluding traffic acquisition costs. Total revenue came in at $10.65 billion. Revenue in the U.S. rose 22% year over year to $4.9 billion, while revenue outside the U.S. jumped 26% to $5.8 billion.
Analysts were expecting revenue of $8.146 billion, excluding traffic acquisition costs, and earnings of $9.65 a share.
Google also said it would be creating a new class of stock, effectively issuing a stock split that is "designed to preserve the corporate structure that has allowed Google to remain focused on the long term."
On a conference call, CEO Larry Page said that many investors have asked for a stock split, and this effectively grants it to them.
JPMorgan Chase(JPM) and Wells Fargo(WFC) report their quarterly earnings Friday before the opening bell.
Analysts expect JPMorgan to post first-quarter earnings of $1.18 a share on revenue of $24.68 billion, while Wells Fargo is seen posting profit of 73 cents a share in the March-ended period on revenue of $20.46 billion.
6 Tech Stocks That Rate Better Than Apple
Infosys Technologies (INFY) , the Indian software services company, said fourth-quarter profit rose 15.2% in dollar terms and sales jumped 10.5%, but revenue for fiscal 2013 would rise only 8% to 10%, below forecasts for the industry.
The stock fell more than 10% in Mumbai on Friday.
Dow Chemical(DOW) raised its second-quarter dividend by 28% to 32 cents a share from 25 cents.
The dividend will be paid on July 30.

Also called dynamic logic, this type of design uses a clock to synchronize instructions in circuits. This comprehensive book covers the challenges faced by designers when using this logic style, including logic basics, timing, noise considerations, alternative topologies and more. In addition advanced topics such as skew tolerant design are covered in some detail. Overall this is a comprehensive view of precharge logic,...

Sampson native Walter Johnson died serving his country in France during World War I when he was just 17. Nearly a century after he perished, a grave marker bearing his name rests in the middle of an expansive field south of Roseboro, its location very much a mystery — one woman has made it her mission to fill in the blanks.
Debbie Chunn, who is originally from Greenville and now resides near Newton Grove, read a story at the end of May about how Norman Coe discovered the marker while doing some surveying work in a field off Ebenezer Forest Road. Close to Memorial Day and in tribute to the fallen soldier, Coe placed flags at the marker for the teenager who died so many years ago.
The headstone states that Walter Johnson was born Oct. 3, 1901 and died in the service of his country in France, June 14, 1918. Chunn was intrigued and two months ago, set out on her quest for more information.
"It just hit my interest," said Chunn. "Who is this young person? I just was curious about the whole story, it just fascinated me so much. Who was this individual, and why was he left alone?"
She pulled Census records from 1910 and 1920, war records, draft sheets, property deeds, death certificates and scoured for everything she could find tracing family histories on Ancestry.com.
Chunn found that Walter was the son of Ollin and Mattie Johnson. Along with Walter, the couple had three daughters, Margie (Marjah), Flora and Jessie. Another son, Willie Lee Johnson of Washington, D.C., who was not on record up to the 1920 Census, was listed as another of Mattie's sons and the contact person upon her death in 1980.
Mattie's gravemarker is located in Sandhill Cemetery and, while there are discrepancies for family members between Census records, death certificates and tangible markers, Mattie's grave marker lists her as living from 1882-1980. Her death certificate lists 1894 as her birth year.
According to Census records, the family lived in the McDaniels area south of Roseboro, where Ollin Johnson was a farmer. His WWI card states that Johnson was inducted into the military in Clinton on March 30, 1918. It lists his cause of death as pneumonia, however Chunn has been told it is possible that he was killed in action.
Chunn has asked around about the marker, contacted various local people who might have some historical knowledge about the marker and has come to little more than vastly piqued interests on the other end. Nearly everything she has gotten has been through her own research, which has taken her to the State Archives Building in Raleigh for war records and led her to make calls to the WWI Museum in Kansas City, Mo., the VA Office in Washington, D.C., and even to the French WWI Museum across the pond.
She was told by representatives of the Kansas City museum that families of black soldiers who died during that time frame were notified and asked whether they wanted the body to stay overseas or transported back to the United States in a standard military casket. Chunn said she does not know whether the Sampson field is Walter's final resting place or not.
"If he was shipped back home, somewhere that casket made it back to Clinton and was received by a person, because you had to sign for it," said Chunn. She noted many of the local train depots are obviously no more. The VA in Washington D.C. could not disclose any information because Chunn is not a family member and the curator at the French museum, which Chunn noted is renown for having detailed records of American soldiers who died there, had no record of Johnson.
Chunn, however, pointed to the star perched above Walter Johnson's name on his headstone — she said it is an indication of a Croix de Guerre (or Cross of War), a military decoration of France created in 1915. However, service banners designed in 1917 would depict blue stars for each family member serving in the Armed Forces of the United States during any period of war or hostilities in which forces were engaged.
While nearly all Census records, and his headstone, list Johnson's age as 17 at his death, the roll call uncovered at the Archives Building in Raleigh shows his age as 21 at the time he was inducted, and 22 at his death. Nearly every soldier on the Clinton, Sampson County roll call that included Johnson was listed at least 21 years old — as with Johnson, that likely was not true.
Her research over the last two months has led her from Sampson County to the nation's capital, to the center of the country and overseas, but the adventure has brought her full circle as Chunn has located some possible family members locally. She hopes to be able to talk to them in the near future. She has her own theories on the grave marker that sits in the middle of a field, but has no real answers.
"I have tons and tons of questions. My speculation was that the family was farmers, and worked for farmers, and they may have had a homestead there," Chunn said. "I think they wanted him buried near the home place."
Looking at old property records obtained at the Sampson County Register of Deeds, Chunn found that Ollin worked on a farm owned by Ida Rich, that was then deeded to Adolphus Williamson. Ollin Johnson was working for N.H. Larkins at the time of his death in 1922, according to his death certificate. The 126-acre property is currently owned by Alston Glenwood Fryar Jr. There are soybeans being tended to on the land, sprouting up around the marker.
Chunn said, while she is full of questions, she has also been immersed by those interested in the marker and the story behind it. Many she has talked with have expressed their desire to help preserve the monument, possibly even move it to a family plot if the family wants it there.
There are so many old graves that are unmarked, to find one by itself in the middle of a field that can be traced to a history that extends thousands of miles and an ocean away, is intriguing, Chunn said.
"It's so cool," she remarked, "because this is Sampson County history."

Sub Navigation
Sea and water - NZ
- Influence
New Zealand's land and landscapes are believed by many to have influenced the nation's artistic output, and to have contributed to the formation of national style, identity, and character. Correspondingly, composers have often written works which directly allude to landscape (specific or general; pastoral, thermal or oceanic) through such aspects as programme notes, titles, use of landscape-based texts, or the inclusion of particular natural sounds. Douglas Lilburn, for example, connected landscapes with his instrumental works and also included recordings of natural sounds in some later electroacoustic works, and many of Larry Pruden's compositions carry place-name titles. Many of John Rimmer's electroacoustic and instrumental works have referenced landscapes, seascapes and birdsong, and his compositional techniques often employ 'natural' patterns such as Fibonacci sequences, or allude to patterns of ebb and flow. New Zealand-specific references (such as the mimicking of native birdsong, or the referencing of a unique geographic feature) contribute to the perception of a work as being of, and for, New Zealand.

CHEM 131-132 General Chemistry I-II
A minor consists of a minimum of 18 credits in biology. Students must take BIOL 121 and BIOL 122 (General Biology I and II) or their equivalent and four additional courses in biology at or above the 200 level, planned in consultation with the Chairperson of Biological Sciences.
The Department of Biological Sciences offers a Departmental Honors Program in Biology. This program provides an opportunity for well-qualified biology majors to conduct independent research in biology. Contact the Department of Biological Sciences for further information concerning eligibility and application.
The Department of Biological Sciences provides the opportunity for students to participate in a true research experience, which is increasingly an advantageous component of undergraduate training.
Each semester, BIOL 497 (Undergraduate Biological Research) is offered by one faculty member who directs and supervises a small team of undergraduates in a research project. Students are intimately involved with experimental design as well as data collection, analysis, and interpretation. The course culminates with a student presentation of the semester's work in a departmental seminar, often followed by presentation at a professional scientific meeting. Research topics vary from semester to semester as different faculty members direct the research course; equally valuable training and experience in scientific methodology is obtained with all topics. The Department of Biological Sciences highly recommends this experience, which adds a valuable dimension that is not provided by ordinary course work.
In addition, BIOL 396 enables students to conduct research under the supervision of a faculty mentor. A student interested in this opportunity should contact faculty members who have research interests similar to those of the student.
For additional information on undergraduate research, visit the Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR).

Glenwood, Maple Grove Elementary Schools Have New Principals
Dana Croatt and Steven Newcomer were introduced by the district at Monday's Greenfield School Board meeting.
The transformation of the Greenfield School District administrative team continued Monday. One month after Lisa Elliott was named the district's new superintendent, Dana Croatt has been chosen to be Maple Grove Elementary School's third principal in three years, and Steven Newcomer was named principal of Glenwood Elementary School. Croatt will slide in for Melissa Yow, who took a position with another school district after her one year in Greenfield. Croatt has eight years of teaching experience and has been a principal for the last four years at schools in Arizona, including a K-8 school that she helped open in 2011. As a teacher, Croatt, who received her doctorate in K-12 Educational Leadership from the University of Southern California…

Using 30mm magnetized bases for casual?
Posted 24 May 2012 - 12:34 AM
Me and my gaming comunity prefer to base our reaper mini's of 30mm size bases over 25mm as it just makes this easier when positioning into combat and all. We magnetize them so we can use the normal base size if in a tournament of course. Now the question I have is what would the apporpriate base sizes for mofels like cavalry and monsters be? Cavalry is 25x50 standard so should that be scaled to 30x60 when using 30mm as the standard?
Posted 24 May 2012 - 05:42 AM
Whatever your club decides will be fine - it all depends on how you want things to look. Like any game, if you are playing with your friends, all house rules are up to you as long as you are all having a great time.
That being said, if you plan to play at an official Warlord event, the base sizes are defined in the book.
Posted 24 May 2012 - 07:17 AM
Posted 24 May 2012 - 08:30 AM
The GF9 magnet bases are the correct size and have enough magnet to hold pretty good on metal surfaces. I can almost turn my metal sheet upside down and have them stay on. There are a few heavier models that won't but most will.
I usually base my models on their usual bases and then I glue that regular base on top of the GF9 base. But, that is just me.
IT also is great for me when taking my stuff to the store or tourneys. I bought a small section of sheet metal from Home depot on the cheap and then glued that to the bottom of a 5 inch deep tupperware tub. I just stick whatever figures I am using that day on the sheet and go. Takes 30 seconds to put em on or take em off. Rather than a few minutes for each mini when trying to stuff them into foam trays. I like foam trays but they take to long in store and tourney situations. Plus, it lets passerby people look at my painted stuff and hopefully gets them interested and asking questions..
Posted 24 May 2012 - 08:35 AM
- 1x1 infantry
- 1x2 cavalry
- 1.5x1.5 medium monster
- 2x2 large monster ??
Resulting in enlarged metric basing (in millimeters) as follows:
- 30x30 infantry
- 30x60 cavalry
- 45x45 medium monster
- 60x60 large monster
Posted 24 May 2012 - 03:49 PM
Is it true that Warlord mini's, based as packaged, are non-metric base sizes?
These:If that much is correct the conversion factor is: 1.18110 ( 30mm/25.4mm )
- 1x1 infantry
- 1x2 cavalry
- 1.5x1.5 medium monster
- 2x2 large monster ??
Resulting in enlarged metric basing (in millimeters) as follows:@Pharos: I am curious about two things. Where did you get 30mm square bases? Are you guys attaching the minis to a 25mm (one inch) base first then magnetizing that to a 30mm base?
- 30x30 infantry
- 30x60 cavalry
- 45x45 medium monster
- 60x60 large monster
The 30mm squares where gotten from the litko website. They have a huge amount of variety when it comes to base sizes. Yeah we base them on the normal 25mm and then magnetize it to a 30mm base.
Posted 25 May 2012 - 10:03 PM
I do not use the standard 25mm black plastic bases for a couple of reasons. First, since they are tapered, you have less room on top for models and/or terrain. Second, the undersides are hollow making it difficult to apply magnetic sheet.
I use covered cake pans from WalMart for storage. The cheap ones are best . . . figures tend to slide on the teflon pans.
Finally, if you want to simplify your lives, don't rebase, just say that anything on the table within 1" is in B2B. Just make sure you declare that the figures are going to be B2B and that your opponent rogers up. For good sportsmanship, explain your intention and clearly measure where opponent can see that your figs can make it into B2B before moving figs within 1". I have used this method often as recently as the tournament last week when figs get jumbled together and especially with figures like my gargoyles with wings and claws sticking out everywhere. It's never been a problem with anyone and for folks with painted figures it can save on wear and tear, since paintjobs do get damaged during the course of play as figures bump and collide. Unpainted figures can be especially injurious to our little beauties.
Anyway, that's my thoughts on the matter.
Hope I don't get blacklisted for mentioning prices and suppliers . . .

Result is a painted and flocked boulder. Use the base to check the 1" distance. Use the boulder as the handle to pick it up with. Enjoy leaving it random places on the table for decorative effect. Use it as an I-am-moving-to-here marker or a spell-effect-centers-here marker. Enjoy the ability to measure small distances without endangering minis with those snap-back metal edged tape measures. Use it to prop up corners of large bases on uneven terrain. Enjoy how it does not spoil the tabletop like a bright orange tape measure...
Simple to make | numerous uses.

Does anybody else find it odd, by the way, that the information age has led to language becoming an oblique and imprecise tool where even the most straightforward phrasing is pored over with chicken entrails and bone tossing to divine the true meaning?

P&P Records – Hits Hits Hits (3 Data DVDs/2x12" singles with Serato Control Tone/book/poster)Various
LP (Item 592511) P&P, Late 70s/Early 80s — Condition: New Copy
Way more than just "hits" – given that this hip box set features tracks from every single 12" released by the legendary P&P family of labels – a massive amount of underground dancefloor work from the late 70s and early 80s, and a set that gives new meaning to the word discography! If you know even just a bit of the P&P sound, you'll know you've got a revolutionary listening experience in store – music that goes way beyond conventional club and disco, with lots of weird little twists and turns – in both the instrumentation and production, which often use these cool little homemade spacey touches! Vocals are often right in synch with the offbeat grooves – and just about every cut on here is massively funky, too. Package features work by Cloud One, Milton Floyd, Sons Of Darkness, Jesse Gee, Scoopy, Rudy Stuart, Little Scotty, Henry Brooks, Fly Guy, Ahzz, Super Jay, Otis Turner, Sherod, The Destiny Orchestra, Bobby Mann, and many others – from singles that originally appeared on labels like Queen Constance, La Shawn, Land Of Hits, Golden Flamingo, Heavenly Star, Clarence, Destiny, Mr Brown, P&P, Sound Of New York, and others. Contains 1 DVD with MP3 data files for 197 different tracks, 2 DVDs that contain WAV files for 197 tracks, 2 bonus colored vinyl 12" singles with serato tone b-sides, a promo poster, and a totally great hardcover book – with color label images for all 100 original releases! (NOTE: data files only – does not play on CD players. Vinyl does play on regular turntables though!) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |
