Florida Flashback
Summer heat brings warm memories of seaside landmarks
June 16, 2013

Orlandoan finds fountain of youth in Florida's magical waters
June 5, 2013
I enjoy the names given to objects folks collect: Disney fans gather Disneyana; aficionados of old Florida seek Floridiana. A few years ago, Orlando graphic designer Rick Kilby found himself on a search for "Poncebilia"—images of Ponce de León, the Spanish explorer who gave Florida its name 500 years ago.
Scottish tales in Florida inspired publisher who valued 'Gatsby'

April 28, 2013
During another April many years ago in Orlando, Dr. Philip Phillips brought the rainmaker to town. It was 1939, and dark war clouds loomed over Europe, but the real sky remained bright over Central Florida. That meant waterless, worrisome weather for citrus growers.
Leu House opens doors to the past and mysteries of historic cemetery
April 21, 2013
When Herb Piper was a young engineer living in Satellite Beach in the 1960s, he would join family members on weekend expeditions to a nearby fish camp owned by a relative's friend.

Sweeping new history of Florida spurs questions about us and the folks Up North
March 10, 2013
I'm writing during a visit with friends in a college town on Maryland's Eastern Shore.

December 2, 2012

Hey Nick, welcome aboard! Good to have another Uk Vienna buddy
I'm really intrigued by the musicians u mentioned- Patty Griffin? Grey Eye Glances? I'd love to check them out, if they're anything like Vienna then i'll love them im sure!
Tori rocks as well tho, of course!! I was listening to 'Tales of a Librarian' again today and i found a song that absolutely chilled me (no pun intended): 'Winter'. It's just the most haunting song, beautiful piano, beautiful lyrics.... there was me trying to motivate myself to do art coursework, but when 'Winter' came on i was absolutely captivated! the same happens when i listen to Vienna, come to think of it.... *mental note: dont listen to Tori or Vienna when trying to work* What r ur fave Tori songs? I only have her one album so i feel ive barely scratched the surface....
I love Gravity too, its probably my favourite Vienna song of all time! just out of interest, do u know of any other artists like Tori or Vienna?
Thanks for your response,

A woman has died from her injuries after her car was struck by a train Friday morning. It happened near K-15 and 47th Street South at around 11:00.
Drivers are asked to avoid that area while crews clean up the wreckage.
The force of the collision sent the car's engine flying out of the vehicle. It landed several feet away.
Deputies arrived about a minute after the first call. They found a single woman in the damaged Ford Focus, injured. Deputies performed CPR until medics arrived. But she died at the hospital.
"We do have some witnesses and we're collecting witness statements from people who reported having seen the accident," said Capt. Annette Haga, Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies are still looking into if the road conditions were a part of the accident. But, whether they were or not, this isn't the first time that a train has hit a vehicle at this intersection.
"Recently we've had two train accidents," said Stan Swope, who works at U-Save Tire, just across the tracks from the accident. He and his co-workers see a lot of accidents.
It was just a month ago that deputies pulled a man from a wrecked cement truck at the same intersection, moments before it was hit by a train. He was hurt but expected to recover.
"I can tell you that 47th and K15 is one of the higher accident intersections that the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office investigates accidents at," said Capt. Haga.
Over at U-Save Tire they say the intersection is a busy one. But that's not the problem they see.
"Most of the accidents we've seen up on the intersection are people, after the light turns red, making a left hand turn," said Swope.
They say Sheriff's deputies have been out more than once ticketing drivers.
"People just don't pay attention like they should," said Swope. "A lot of times people will stop on the tracks waiting for the lights to change and people just really don't pay attention."
Deputies are still talking to witnesses to figure out exactly how the accident happened. They have not released the woman's name because they're still notifying her family.

People who donate a kidney, part of their liver, or bone marrow for transplant surgeries can receive tax breaks in 17 states; however, a new study finds that incentives did not increase the number of organ donations. That does not mean states should end the tax breaks, the report's researchers said. Instead, states should focus on improving them, said Dr. Atheendar Venkataramani, a Massachusetts General Hospital resident who led the study. Increasing the amounts could be one change, according to NPR:
Typically states offer a deduction of up to $10,000 from taxable income. For a typical family that translates to less than $1,000 in reduced taxes. But the financial burden for a living kidney donor can range from $907 to $3,089, according to one study.
The tax incentives are intended to defray the organ donor's cost in medical care, travel and lost wages. By federal statute, it's illegal to pay someone for the organ itself.
Authors of the new study suggest increasing the value of the tax deductions or converting them into a tax credit, which would lower the donor's tax bill on a dollar-for-dollar basis. So far only Iowa offers donors a tax credit.
There's also reason to think that few people in states with tax credits know about them. Study authors found that even organ donation advocate groups were unaware. So were people being evaluated as living donors, including even the most educated and informed prospective donors.
"These tax incentives cost the states very little, so there is no real reason to do away with them," Venkataramani said.
With more than 100,000 people on waiting lists, officials consider how to increase the number of donations from living donors. At the same time, rising obesity rates could lead to fewer organ donations. More than 60 percent of Americans support the idea of compensating donors with credits for health care needs, but this new report shows that tax breaks will not immediately lead to more organ transplants.

I wouldn't say they are a divergent species any more than Captain America is. They are heavily modified, but unless someone has a reference 2nd Edition & beyond indicating that Astartes can mate AND have those traits and extra organs pass on to their offspring, they don't quite qualify as a specie.

"A small mind is easily filled with faith"
You and I have always looked for separate things from GW; in aggregate, we each buy a totally different product from the other. It's why I skip your threads and wonder why you reply to my posts.
There's nothing to be ashamed of in media-victimhood. I can see how being really into x-box is appealing, and I sympathize when you ask things like whether it would be cool if Keanu Reeves from The Matrix met the assassin from Nemesis and they both had wings. So, try to sympathize in the same way with me and my social background for a minute.
Someone had to imagine that his friends had souls. Imagine why, if you didn't already have one, you would need a word fot the location of individuals' humors and aptitudes.
Personalities and attitudes change. One person can become like another by breaking and resetting each others' bones so they look the same, by living in the same places and submitting to the same experiences. Torgaddon was jocular and pugnacious, like Horus. His actions were the same as Horus' might have been if they had switched places. That is all a soul is, it is a word for individual accumulations of personality and fate. Though they are many, they are one body, for they share one bread and one cup.
I'd put that down more to indoctrination than anything to do with a Marine's soul. They think and act alike due to their training and the amount of time they spend together and I personally don't believe those things add up to a 'soul'.
EDIT: Wouldn't that be the individual's brain?

Blessed is the mind too small for doubt.
A bird in the hand is worth...BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!
Really? I thought in the comics, Captain America was supposed to be the best a human could physically be, whereas in the movies, he seems stronger than a human could be at that size. He tears hatches off and hurls people around one handed; I'm not sure a person could do the same.
Thor's looks, Wolverine's immortality and nigh invulnerability, Captain America's perseverance and determination, Iron Man's gear, the Hulk's rage, Deadpool's perchance for genocide, and whatever else comes to mind.
In 40k, Captain America is just another Cadian Guard Captain.
Cadians are big, blond, and pissed off. Cap's super strength is probably ties to human super strength. A woman could pull a car off her kid in the heat of adrenaline and fear. I'm sure a giant super olympian guy could do some serious damage on that kind of stimulant boost.

Well, I've changed history so that we are in pharaonic egypt and you don't know that brains are for cognition. Also, are brains for cognition?
Then what does add up to a soul? That is exactly what a soul is, it's the locus of an physical ability, accumulated wisdom, social influence and personality. It explains how you are closer to your mother than you are two your next door neighbors, even though she's 1700 miles away, and why violence begets violence and avarice perpetuates itself. The Emperor has a huge warp presence because he changed the world and he changed the world because he has a huge warp presence. When he wanted to make little lieutenants for himself to further changed the world, he made them strong and inspiring, which is the same as giving them big warp presences. When he wanted his lieutenants to have armies that would work for them seamlessly, he cloned their strong and inspiring qualities, which are also their souls, and grafted them on to other living people, whose own unmodified destinies were not to change the world.They think and act alike due to their training and the amount of time they spend together and I personally don't believe those things add up to a 'soul'.
Like seriously, what does a soul do?
Nothing, it's imaginary. Just a word made up by ignorant pre-iron age peoples to explain away why they (in their own perception) seem to be more "alive" than a Tree.
A soul is just a flowery word for the self and that is just a non-existent abstact for the physical and mental capacities and capabilites of an individual.
In 40k however the soul is the warp reflection of the individual, it is the reflection of the energy an individual expresses reflected in a realm of pure energy.
The Emperor purposely infused the powers of the warp into the Primarchs to make them superior to anything else around (even to the point of giving himself a run for his money.) The space marines on the other hand are not psychically gifted in this manner, they are just given extra moist meaty chunks (20 of them in fact) the fact that all humans in 40k are inherently psychic and that upon induction to a legion/chapter they are hypno-indoctrinated makes them manifest weird phenomena regarding their primarch.
Cap is way too nice to be a Space Marine. He doesn't have the killer instinct it would take to be one. Now if you wanted to take him as some awesome Imperial Guard character with Space Marine like stats for Str, T, WS and Leadership then yeah I agree with that.
Wait, Imperial guardsmen were supposed to be nice :P ? Personally, I'd expect that marines have almost as much character divergence as guardsmen, if in a somewhat different spectrum.
Anyhow, if we were to put a captain in 40k stats, how about a (perhaps slightly improved) crusader - one of those guys occasionally turning up in inquisition retinues? They are very skilled fighters and extremely devoted. They even have storm shields .

Maybe Captain America is more akin to a Thunder Warrior then a Space Marine.
Speaking of Marvel i once debated with a friend of mine where the different characters in the Marvel universe would fit if they where "born" in the W40k world.
I can´t remember quite what we agreed on on all of the characters but here´s what i remember(it should be said it was mostly X-Men we debated):
Wolverine: Would most defiantly be a Space Wolf
Sabertooth: Would most likely also be a Space Wolf
Jean Grey: Would most likely either be a working with the Inquisition to interrogate prisoners (like the one in the outcast dead, though i can´t remember what her profession was)
Xavier: Being paralyzed from the waist down he probably wouldn´t be much use as a Librarian (haven´t read anywhere of marines that have their spinal cords severed somehow being able to walk again) so he would either be an Astropath or working alongside Jean as an interrogator.
Iceman: Would probably be hiding on Fenris or working with Chaos.
Can´t really remember what we came up with for the rest of them.
Pro-actively transhumanist and an Immortalist
The fable of the dragon tyrant explains why. Text. Youtube.
You and I have opportunity to create synergy
Good to see I'm not the only one that realises Cap predates GW Space Marines by more than 4 decades.
No she really couldn't. Average car weighs 1000kg. The strongest man in the world under stress (i.e. with adrenaline already pumping through him) can lift 395kg. I tihink you can see what I'm getting at here. Simply put, adrenaline can only do so much, the ability has to exist in the first place.

HI Yvonne, I usually wait until the back of the flower is all brown and dry and the seeds loosen a little. watch the birds they know when they are ready;)
maybe a paper bag or something once they start to dry off, but a pillowslip would absorb moisture which you don't want.

Non-championship races would nothing more than glorified testing sessions, with people sandbagging all over the place and small outfits trying to shine in order to capture those prized sponsors that are left (hey, that is not a bad point! ). Except that no one outside F1 world would really care. And I am affraid that the money spent in shipping everything to the race tracks would not be covered by supposed revenues, meaning a huge budget hole for everyone.

Both players have been included in Martin Johnson's 45-man training squad despite serving suspensions for high-profile incidents of violent conduct last season.
Tuilagi received a five-week ban for landing a three-punch combination on Northampton and England wing Chris Ashton in the Aviva Premiership semi-final.
The Leicester centre missed the final and the Churchill Cup, but Johnson and his England staff were already convinced he was a live World Cup contender.
Armitage was banned twice last season, once for clashing with a doping control officer and once for punching the Northampton fly-half Stephen Myler.
Johnson is confident both have the temperament to cope with a World Cup but he has issued a strong warning about the need to behave.
"We can't have guys getting suspended down there for events on or off the field," said Johnson.
"We are in New Zealand. We all know what that is like, it is a goldfish bowl. And you are at the World Cup so you are in a goldfish bowl within a goldfish bowl.
"We need guys who are available to play. We don't need silly suspensions because it puts us all under pressure."
Tuilagi, whose four brothers played for their native Samoa, is in line to make his Test debut in one of England's August World Cup warm-up matches.
The 20-year-old is among a group of five centres in the 45-man squad, alongside Mike Tindall, Matt Banahan, Riki Flutey and Shontayne Hape.
England's 45-man squad included a return for Matt Stevens, six months after his drugs ban expired, and call-ups for the uncapped quartet Charlie Sharples, Mouritz Botha, Thomas Waldrom and Joe Simpson.
The squad joined up in camp on Sunday and Johnson reported that the fall-out from John Steele's departure from the Rugby Football Union had not affected his players or staff.
The RFU's decision to oust Steele nine months into his tenure means they are now in the market for both a chief executive and a performance director.
Steele's failure to appoint a performance director - or even hold any interviews for the post - contributed greatly to his downfall.
Johnson expects to be consulted as the RFU move forward on that appointment and it is understood he believes the performance director has to remain hands-off the senior England team.
"I said to Martyn (Thomas, the RFU chairman) 'you guys have to make the right decision for the future of England rugby'. It is not about personalities. It is about the best structure," Johnson said.
"You're always going to report to someone.
"We know what is going on but everyone is excited to be back in camp and it can seem there is nothing outside these walls at times.
"I don't see it having any effect at all on what we are doing.
"If you ask the players, they want to know about training, about dinner and whether they are going to New Zealand.
"When you have the World Cup ahead of you it has a way of focusing your mind."
