Post subject: How much dm related crap do you own?
I think it's about time for an actual milkmen related topic. I was just curious how much crap everyone has. To my knowledge, it's never been discussed before, and I was curious how obsessed some of you are and how many rare things you guys have found.
I'll go first:
cd's: all the major releases (including the ones off of Hllywd rcrds that I found in used bins) and three singles. I also own cream of the crop (which I've owned for four years-still havent listened to it once) and the original pressing of Now We Are 10 that I bought off of ebay for fifty bucks. I also have NWA 20 and Chaos Rules, and Death Rides (my first dm cd).
I also have the side-project cd's (butterfly joe, bwb, touch me zoo; low budgets-aim low should be coming in the mail this week)
The only cd I dont own is Stoney's because my favorite songs from that album are already on Death Rides..
t-shirts: one punk rock girl, one BLIMBY, one dave blood mem. elsie shirt, and a low budgets shirt I bought in philly, but am saving to wear for a special occasion.
dvds-THE dvd, of course
vhs: the "ultimate" video collection that has their club mtv performance on it.
I dont have anything too rare, except for NWA 10 and the vhs tape.
Did anybody ever get the free banner and pins that were advertised in Death Rides..? I was a little late on that.
happy cows give sour milk.

I actually only have the complete CD collection and the mp3's, which in comparison to kksuck2, isn't that many mp3's.
BTO's collection is shamefully small I am sorry to report. I hope one day to fill my den with DM related things.
Gather round me everybody
Let me tell you who I am...

That is awesome.
I have all the CD's, plus Bucky Fellini in vinyl. And my friends and I collectively own BLIMBY and Eat Your Paisley on vinyl as well (it was given to us as a group by a friend of ours who works at a record store.)
I have the Philadelphia in Love DVD.
I have a Low Budgets Shirt, CD, 7", and 2 pins.
I have the BWB cd.
I have very little DM memoribilia outside of the music. That will change when I get a credit card.
Coming soon...

All of the albums on CD, NWA 20, BWB, Butterfly Joe. My friend was supposed to steal the PRG single on vinyl from his college radio station for me, but it disappeared before he could.
Just the memorial show T-shirt. Oh, and the DVD.
Not much, just the bare essentials. I ordered Chaos Rules from a local record store, but have yet to stop by and buy it. That was 2-3 months ago. I stopped downloading music after my Kazaa stopped working. I should probably get on that Soulseek dealy. And BTO, you forgot about all that crap you got at the memorial shows. That definitely counts for something, as it's stuff no one else has.

Why should Christians consider evolutionary creation?
Because evolution is a challenging subject, many Christians are tempted to simply ignore or reject it. Yet considering evolutionary creation has important benefits for Christians both in our relationship with the Creator, and with our relationships with other people—believers and non-Christians alike. First, Christians should study evolution because (like all the natural sciences) it is the study of God's creation. Creation itself is a complementary revelation to what is communicated in the Scriptures, and through it God shows how and when he brought about life, to his honor and glory. Studying the creation is also an invitation into a deeper understanding of the attributes and character of Father, Son and Spirit. Second, considering evolutionary creation aids the Church in its gospel mission, supporting young Christians in their faith, helping answer critics, and equipping us to engage effectively in the wider culture. An anti-evolution attitude can harm Christian young people by presenting them with a false choice between pursuing science OR holding to faith. Similarly, a hostile attitude towards evolution can hinder evangelism when seekers hear that they must reject science to follow Christ. On the other hand, studying evolution as a God-ordained process helps Christians refute arguments that science encourages an atheistic worldview. Furthermore, as the church engages front-page issues raised by the rapid growth in science, medicine, and technology, a Christ-centered voice in such areas as bioethics will be stronger if based on a thorough understanding of the natural sciences, including evolution.
(Updated on September 9, 2012)
How could humans have evolved and still be created in the "Image of God"?
The meaning of the "image of God" has been debated for centuries in the church. A common view is that the image of God refers to the human abilities that separate us from the animals. However, scientists have found that abilities like communication and rationality are also present in animals on a basic level. Plus, theologians do not see the image of God as human abilities. Some theologians see the image of God as our capacity for a relationship with God. Other theologians see it as our commission to represent God's kingdom on earth. Both of these theological positions are consistent with scientific evidence. Whether God created humanity through a miracle or through evolution, God gave us our spiritual capacities and calls us to bear his image.
(Updated June 25, 2012)
How is BioLogos different from Evolutionism, Intelligent Design, and Creationism?
We at BioLogos believe that God used the process of evolution to create all the life on earth today. While we accept the science of evolution, we emphatically reject evolutionism. Evolutionism is the atheistic worldview that says life developed without God and without purpose. Instead, we agree with Christians who adhere to Intelligent Design and Creationism that the God of the Bible created the universe and all life. Christians disagree, however, on how God created. Young Earth Creationists believe that God created just 6,000 to 10,000 years ago and disagree with much of mainstream science. Supporters of Intelligent Design accept more of evolutionary science, but argue that some features of life are best explained by direct intervention by an intelligent agent rather than by God's regular way of working through natural processes. We at BioLogos agree with the modern scientific consensus on the age of the earth and evolutionary development of all species, seeing these as descriptions of how God created. The term BioLogos comes from the Greek words bios (life) and logos (word), referring to the opening of the Gospel of John. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made."

From Intelligent Design to BioLogos
In this paper, Venema tells the story of his transition from support of Intelligent Design to the view that God uses evolution as a creative mechanism.
How Does the BioLogos Model Need to Address Concerns About Science?
Many barriers to the acceptance of the BioLogos model by evangelical Christians arise from popular misconceptions about the nature of science and its relationship to God's action in our world.
How Does a BioLogos model need to address the theological issues
Science and Religion scholar Denis Alexander presents two models for relating Adam and Eve with the findings of contemporary anthropology. This essay was presented at the November 2010 Theology of Celebration Workshop
Barriers to Accepting Creation by an Evolutionary Process: Concerns of the Evangelical Theologian
Renowned Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke considers eleven barriers that prevent evangelical theologians from accepting evolution as a possible means of creation and what these barriers tell us about the tensions perceived by many Evangelicals between science and faith. Waltke's work was based on a survey sent to members of the Fellowship of Evangelical Seminary Presidents and their faculty.

Last RP I joined that you made, it died.
- - - Updated - - -
And before I could fuck shit up, too.
I would totally post this in interest check or something but I'm not positive I'm going to actually enact this RP, because honestly I am the worst GM ever. But I want to build the RP's universe because...well because it's in my head and it's going to bother me until I have it written down. So to make things go quicker, I want a little help from you guys. Because you may be crazy fucks, but you are creative fucks as well.
Let's set a little background here:
SciFi Genre
Earth is Dying
New Habitable Planet is discovered within traveling distance (FTL drives will be incorporated)
See I'm having no issue with building the planet. It's pretty much unraveling all on it own in my head, but I'm having trouble...literally getting there. I just can't seem to decide on a plot for getting to the planet. It's like something in the corner of my eye. Every time I turn around it's gone. I don't want it to take decades to get to the planet because I want the characters I create to be able to leave Earth and get to the new planet without aging to much or having to "time skip" ahead to the future and make new characters altogether.
I was thinking of exploring a stargate system kind of thing, not completely ripped from the franchise but a similar version, but that wouldn't take much time at all to reach the planet, and I don't want that part of the RP to go by too quickly (if I actually do get around to doing it).
So Spammy...<3 Halp?
Last RP I joined that you made, it died.
- - - Updated - - -
And before I could fuck shit up, too.
The White Army and the Black Baron;
Are trying to force us back to the Tsar.
Shut up Zed. Like I said, I'm not even sure I'm going to make the actual RP but I just need it out of my head. It's in there and it's driving me crazy.
Why wouldn't they do cold sleep to get there? It's an insane waste of resources/energy as well as a huge risk to the mission itself to have everyone awake during a long mission. With hibernation they could keep their age and not have to change as characters.
The only way to use stargates or tech in that realm is to include aliens (if that's part of your plot), or to give some background on them having launched an apparatus to be the gate on the other end.
I would suggest you read the first Coyote book by Allen Steele. It's very similar to what you're talking about, and it's a fun read. It could help give you ideas.
See I thought about hibernation but I want the first half of the RP to be about going to the planet, and I don't want to have to create an entire new set of characters for life on the new planet.
I've been thinking that either I'm going to do the RP with the very first colony going to the planet or have it already colonized some and just start the RP on the planet. I'd really prefer the former, but if I can't figure out a better way then I'll do the latter.
What would you want to be RPing during the journey?
In the book the structure is: setting up the characters in the launch. How they end up there, world info, etc. Then in the ship they're all asleep except one guy to run things who is accidentally woken up by his chamber malfunctioning. After his story is over, it's them landing on the planet to kick off the plot.
You just have to think about what you're trying to accomplish--with specifics. Feel free to ask me, I've loved the concept of space colonization for years and read toooooooons about it.
First colony into the planet, meet a huge ass monster that tries to eat them.
They get to the planet. See a blue police box. Freak out. Everyone dies. It's a moffat plot.
made by the ever charming and talented Lillian Thorne.
It really depends on the speed that Earth is dying in. Did they have mere months before the Earth imploded/exploded/dematerialized/turned barren or did they have several years notice before everything went to hell? If they only had a short amount of time, it could be like this. In a frantic, panicked state, the current authorities and research centers built something to ensure the survival of humanity, may it be a huge ship to house as many humans as possible or several ships spread over the world.
Ofcourse, due to the limited time they had, most of the ships had terrible faults in them, causing them to explode upon launch or be slung off course after it. Only one or two ships (with our protagonists/characters on them) make it to said planet, only limited resources (due to most of the supply ships also having vanished) available to make this place their new home. Considering that you said you didn't want them to age too much and this is the sci-fi genre, you could add to it the availability of stasis pod, suspending life as it were. While less important characters stay awake (and as such, will age. Their story could be described and/or played while the remainder of the fleet makes it to the planet.), the main protagonist and several other key npcs will wake up like they were the day they were scrambled into the stasis pods to get the flying fuck off of the dying planet.
Ofcourse, the time traveled solely depends on how advanced you want technology to be.
Possibly cliche but also possibly stupid ideas:
- Faster than light travel that goes full herpderp and takes your people X-hundred/thousand light years in like 2 months
- Generic time skip with no real explanation of the mechanisms of travel (sort of a deus ex machina)
Possibly cliche but workable ideas:
- Warp drive
- Stargate
- Ancient alien travel tech (such as Mass Effect relay things)
- Wormholes
- Cryogenic Stasis with ship on autopilot, crew arrives as exact same age and condition as they were when frozen
- Cryogenic Stasis with sacrificial pilot crew, rest of crew wakes as they went in the freezer
- Cryogenic Stasis with pilot/maintenance crew getting woken up once every few years to check shit out and make sure all is well, these guys aged a bit but others not
Possibly not cliches but who the fuck knows ideas:
- Make the planet relatively close, such as being in orbit around one of the nearby stars that could be reached in a relatively short time even with reasonable FTL tech
- Magitech that defies the laws of physics by giving super speed travel
- Magical teleportation that instantly gets you there
- Magical travel through another realm/plane/universe that has altered laws of reality (somehow no hindrance to travel speeds, space works differently such that there is less of it while containing all the same stuff, something like that) to allow faked quicker movement via quickly getting to your destination then warping back to 'reality'
- The above but explained with sci-fi stuff letting you to go an alternate universe
- Time travel taking the ship back to the very, very early universe when it was way smaller and thus quicker to get through then getting to the spot in space coordinates where your planet will be in the future and traveling forward to an appropriate time such that you're back in roughly modern day right by your chosen planet (troublesome because why not travel back in time to prevent Earth dying?)
And that's all I can think of at the moment.
Did you know we have a Writer of the Month contest? Come join it.
WOTM #26: Evil Wins is open and accepting entries through June 4th.

Schuyler is my weird and wonderful monster-slayer. Together we have many adventures.
August 27, 2008
Like a Father
"Do you remember this guy?"
I'm not going to quote it directly. After I contacted the poster, identified myself and asked if we might talk, I received a delightful message from the board administrator, reminding me in that all-too-familiar "master of my online turf" way that posts on his forum were protected by copyright and could not be used in my next book without permission.
I am actually aware of how that works, oddly enough. And yet, I was tempted to quote it here in its entirety just the same. I feel a certain amount of personal ownership over the information. Go read it yourself and see if you can figure out why.
If you can't go see that, or if it disappears for some reason (although I guess that might solve the whole copyright issue), here's a short paraphrase of the material, posted on an epilepsy support forum in a thread about personal heroes.
The poster, whom I'll call David since, well, that's his name, tells the story about the hard days he experienced in junior high school. In addition to his health issues, David didn't know anyone at his new school and got picked on a great deal. He was eventually taken under the wing of the ninth grade track coach, who made him the manager for the track team. David described this coach as a real friend. The coach taught him everything he needed to know about being a track manager, was patient with his mistakes, gave him advice and even paid for his meals on road trips. This coach, he said, "became my second father". David's story ends sadly, when the coach died halfway through the year. At the funeral, the coach's wife told David that her husband always spoke of him like a son, and made sure that the pastor talked about him during the eulogy. At the end of the year, David won an award for the student who had the most success in the ninth grade, thanks to the nomination of his track coach and surrogate father.
And that, he concluded, is why his personal hero is Coach Bobby Ray Hudson.
Well. I didn't see that coming.
For the record, my answer to my brother's question was no, I didn't remember this guy, for a number of very good reasons. First of all, I was in college by this time. I hadn't seen my father in about four years; indeed, I wouldn't see him again until the funeral, which I don't suppose actually counts.
Furthermore, I didn't hear about my new little brother from my mother because she's not the wife that David is referring to. That would be the woman my dad married after he left my mom when I was in high school. None of us actually knew very much of what was going on in his life, because he had very intentionally and meticulously removed us all from his reality. After he died, we discovered just how true that was. His last will and testament stipulated that everything was to go to his new wife, which was hardly a surprise, but in the event that she did not survive him, everything would then go to her adult son, a police officer whom we didn't even meet until the the day before the funeral.
It's been eighteen years since my father died, and yet I find that he still has the power to confound me. After going to such great lengths to shed his family, why, at the very end of his life, did he suddenly feel compelled to be the kind of father that he never was before? Did he feel regret? A chance at some kind of redemption, but without the hard work it would have taken to make things right with us?
I never knew my father to be someone with a great deal of compassion, certainly not for the little six-year-old boy with whom he couldn't communicate except with the back of his hand. Had he found it at the end? I'd always wondered what my father would have thought of Schuyler. Judging from what I knew of him, I always suspected that he would have had a real problem dealing with a kid with a disability. Now? I'm not so sure. This chance encounter with a total stranger almost two decades after my father's death has changed everything.
I am acutely aware of the timing of this revelation, at a time when I am beginning work on a book about this very topic. Some writers search with great effort for their subjects. So far, mine seem to be finding me.

I don't know if this story has anything to do with redemption, or even with regret. On a most basic level, it may just have to do with the simple truth that it's easy to be someone else when you don't have to be intimate. Or when you hold all the power in a relationship.
People are complicated. Hitler loved children and dogs.
Schuyler has a very different kind of father, who will leave quite a different legacy. Thank goodness. - 7:24 PM

Maybe the positive side of bad paternal memories is that it makes us more determined to do better. My memories of my father aren't the same as yours, but he still has the power to affect me, 20 years after his death. The mere finding of a piece of paper with his handwriting on it causes me to tremble before I read it because I'm so afraid that what it says can still hurt me.
I have tried to be a better parent. You'll have to ask my kids whether I succeeded or not. There are days when I think I may not have. - 7:44 PM
I would like to comment on your book. Should I do that here?
I just finished reading your book. It was very well written and I laughed out loud many times while reading it. I think I have the same sense of humor as you. I was so glad you ended the book the way you did. There were times when I just felt so sad for you (and Julie) because you were so sad. (of course you were) I have a nephew with Down Syndrome and I remember when he was born and we were all so sad. He is almost 16 now and we are not sad anymore because he has brought so much joy to all of our family. He has a GREAT sense of humor. (one you would appreciate actually.) I know it's different, because he doesn't know he's different, but I was so glad that at the end of the book you seemed to be, still sad, but also focusing more on the joy that Schuyler brings to your life. It is apparent that you love her so much and you are an excellent dad.
About the God thing. I believe God has the ability to change anything, but have you thought about the kind of world we'd live in if He chose to take away all the bad things that happen to people? No cancer, no sickness, no deaths from car accidents or drunks, no kids dying before their parents, no disabilities. It sounds great, but we'd be zombies or robots wondering around in a perfect world with no sickness or pain or sadness. Where would hope, faith, perseverence, character, strength, kindness, empathy come from? I hate pain and sadness, but I think it's necessary in this world. "Suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character and character, hope."
I think you would enjoy reading "Is God To Blame" Author: something Boyd (can't think of his first name.) He talks alot about many of your questions regarding God and why he allows bad things, sad things to happen. Very insightful and thought provoking. - 8:51 PM
To hear someone else say things about your own father that you wish you could say must be very painful. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you had to feel that way because he couldn't/ wouldn't be the father you deserved.
I am glad that Schuyler will never have to feel the way that you do right now. - 9:24 PM

It sounds similliar to my father. Thanks God any of his kids had disabilities otherwise we wouldn't make it alive to adulthood.
The time goes by the hurt never completly heals... Hug x - 4:07 AM
Wow. What a whirlwind of emotions that must have evoked for you. I've said that I think my feelings on God closely mirror yours - I'm not really sure what I believe - but things like this do make me believe in SOMETHING. Be it fate, karma, or just plain luck, I believe that things and people somehow manage to find us at just the right time.
And by the way, knowing what you went through with your own father makes you an even more kick-ass father in my eyes now. Schuyler is lucky to have you and Julie in her life. That fate/karma/luck thing pointed the stork in the right direction. - 8:37 AM
- Diane said...
That guy's entry made me want to puke. Fathers who treat their own kids like crap but are so incredibly nice to other people, even posing as saviors are, in fact, perverse and mean-spirited, truly twisted individuals. I see no redemptive behavior in your father's betrayal, only continued repudiation of his own family as evidence of his own well-deserved self-hatred.
And you know that I know what I'm talking about. - 9:18 AM

This is why i have never, and probably will never understand people. i get asked for advice all the time on work, relationships, parents....and i don't know why people ask me. i have NO idea what makes people do the things they do. i often wonder if it's even worth it try and figure it out. This story is rather bittersweet. i'm glad that a young boy found the love and support he needed in the form of a 9th grade coach. but i'm angry that another little boy was left alone and abandonned by that very same man. however, judging from your writing, your wit, intelligence, insight, and especially Schuyler, you've done perfectly fine without him.

I've noticed something.
David claims that your father became "his second father," but all of his evidence only make your father out to have been a really good COACH. So I question how "fatherly" your father actually was towards him, as opposed to simply being "coach-y".
Parents take on many different roles in children's lives. Coaches only take on one. Some people are simply better at a specialized, just-this-role approach to relating to kids; it's possible that being just a coach is what your father was just best at all along. And David maybe didn't have a good actual parent situation at home either, and saw your father in his best light and called that "father".
Something like this is the biggest reason I haven't been in a rush to have kids myself - I know I can do the fun and silly stuff easily, but parenting is much much more than that, and having to be the fun goofball AND wear all the other hats, which I know I'm not good at right now, would just cause problems. So I stick to being the goofy aunt that visits sometimes, because I know I can do that. And I pour myself into that one specific role and I rock at it.
Something similar may be going on here -- your father was a good coach because he didn't have to also be David's father. David interpreted "really good coach" as "father figure" because he only saw that one side of him. You and your brother saw all the other sides of him, and all the things he couldn't do because he may not have been equipped to, and had to deal with his own frustration at having had to try, perhaps.
Granted, this all still blows goats for everyone concerned. But it's a theory I'd buy for a dollar... - 10:49 AM

You say you wonder what kind of grandparent your dad would have been. From my limited experience (having only one dad who was pretty detached from me), the whole grandparent thing is a whole different place for people.
My dad was the disciplinarian in our house (I use that term loosely, not to equate it to what seems to be an awful amount of violence in your house). He is the opposite with my kids. He would give them the moon if he could. I don't know if it is time that changes people in that way, or perspective, and sadly (or luckily, depending on how you see it) you will not have that time to see through.
You keep on being the parent to your daughter you know she needs. Someday she will probably say she hates you for it, and that will be okay. That's what we are supposed to do. Then, someday later she will be a grownup (I believe it!) and she will never say out loud she is sorry, but you know will know she never really meant the hate thing. - 11:13 AM
- Jenn said...
That must have been so bizarre for you to read that post. I remember being a kid and finding out that my dad had a different personality outside our home - and people liked him! At home, he was a miserable drunk but apparently at work he was very charming. My dad is great grandfather to my girls. He spoils them and they love him. Go figure.
- SunSpotBaby said...
The incredible thing about this story is that another man existed just like your father. Which leads me to suspect that there may be others, sadly. Your "father" story is also my son's story, right down to his "inheritance" (what a joke) going to the step-sons, and them thinking he was a great dad whereas my son didn't even see a reason to attend his funeral. But, the upside is my son is the father he always wanted to his own children, and they are so very fortunate.
- Susie said...
How painful. I am sorry.
My father abandoned his first family (mine) and has tried to "make amends" with his second wife/kids. It doesn't work that way. - 6:54 PM
- Special Needs Mama said...
This was a brave and moving post, and I am sure that the words you have to offer your readers about fatherhood with have the same ingredients: honesty, authenticity, truth.
- Annie said...
Wow - confounding. Really confusing. I cannot understand how someone could distance himself from his children so thoroughly. I've heard of others who've done it, have actually seen a friend or two deal with it. It sucks greatly. But thanks for sharing the story.
- Karen said...
I wish I had words that would help. Whether you view this new info on your dad as good or bad, it must have been hard to read.
Rob, I'm so sorry, it must bring up so much pain. Ive had my own heartache with my parents, its something you always carry with you. I'm very fortunate, although I have not always been a perfect parent, because of my upbringing, I appreciate the gift of my children so much more then my parents did. Its been 7 years since my mother died, and I still remember the sting of her rejections, Ive often wanted to write about our relationship, and how her illness affected our family dynamics..some day...be well..
Wow! People are complex creatures, what a shocker.
- stinky-horowitz said...
I'm sorry that your father cut you out of his life, seemingly without a backward glance. I'm glad this guy's memory of your father gives you doubt about whether he'd have been capable of treating Schuyler right.
By all accounts, my grandfather was an asshole before I was born. My mother got married before she graduated high school just to get away from him. He looks grimfaced in all her wedding pictures and so does anyone standing next to him, or in the same room with him. The pictures without him show my family acting desperately hilarious, as if to make up for him. There are no family photographs for the next three years, even though there were at least four out of six kids still living at home.
Then I was born. I was his little mascot. In the pictures, I'm almost never out of the man's lap, and he grins like a fool. There are at least five family albums of every occasion possible with the two of us as stars of the show. As I get bigger, there are more people next to him in the photographs, finally sitting down, holding drinks, smiling too. More grandchildren, and I'm not the only one in his lap anymore.
He died when I was nine, of pancreatic cancer. I found out about all this much later, when I happened to ask my grandmother why there were so many pictures of me as a baby. "He just treated you so different," she says. My mom and all my uncles have tales about how this was so. It was like magic, they say. He changed into my Papaw, who bought me little outfits, took me to football games, and gave me his full attention whenever I wanted it. And that's who he was until he died.
So maybe it really would have been different. Who knows.
My other grandfather ran off to Australia with another woman, never to be seen again. He'd drunk dial and be nasty every once in a while. His two kids with her, an aunt and uncle I'll never meet, disowned him before he died of liver failure. So. I guess it could go either way. - 3:53 PM
- Becca said...
wow, just wow. and a hug. I cant wait for your next book.
My mother and father married when they were 18 years old, then had my older sister, me, and my little brother. My father was young, unmotivated, and never helped my mom with us kids. He ended up cheating on her so she divorced his sorry ass. He ducked out of paying child support by jumping from job to job, had several addiction problems, and finally moved in with his mother at age 35. He started reshaping his life by marrying a woman with two kids from a previous marriage and having a kid with her (this would be my half-sister). Since then, he will go to the moon and back for his new wife and "kids", goes vacationing all summer with his "new" family, and every once in a while he'll phone us to see if we are still alive. My siblings and I are now in our early twenties, and I can tell you from experience that I feel your pain. It continues to hurt me when he calls on the phone and words escape me because I do not know this "family" man who abandoned my mother, me, and my siblings.
- Pammy Sue said...
Great thought-provoking entry. It made me feel sad and want to come over there and hug you. I thought that might be kind of awkward, so I didn't. ;)

My home is in a small hot and dusty 'last chance for gas' town in rural ('outback') Australia where I work for the local government ('shire council') mapping and documenting information about our local roads and other assets that the council constructs and maintains.
I am restricted to using Windows XP when I'm at work but I'm an open source and free software advocate and I strongly prefer to use Ubuntu at home or on the road. Officially we are supposed to use Map Info while at work, but so far they have not stopped me from using Quantum GIS instead. I am able to install QGIS in my home computers as well as my work computer so I can practice with it in my spare time for free, which is something I can't do with proprietary software. There is plenty of information about how to work with QGIS published on the internet. Thus I am able consistently able to achieve better results in a shorter time when I am working. The Gnu Image Manipulation Program is another program I use often, mainly for adding road signs to my maps to turn them into MUTCD diagrams. QGIS has improved a lot in the last couple of years it might not be long before I will be able do it all within QGIS.
My modest bash and python programming skills are very useful for getting things done faster when I need to do something that's a little outside the scope of operations the mainstream users GUI programs are designed for. I'm by no means an expert, it takes me some time to get things working the way I want.
I would like to add an big thank you to QGIS developers for all the hard work they do making QGIS such a wonderful application, I love QGIS.

Realtors a Key Ingredient in Recovering New Construction Market
Sales of new single-family homes were up 28.9 percent from a year ago in January to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 437,000, according to a recent U.S. Census Bureau report. That's the best January since 2008 and there is potential for significantly higher increases.
A growing number of home builders, but not the majority, are expected to forget that Realtors brought home buyers to the dance.

5. | Shinedown | ||
A great rock band from Jacksonville, Florida! Members are Brent Smith(singer), Barry Kerch(Drummer), Eric Bass(Bass player), and Zach Myers(guitarist). Most popular songs are 45, Simple Man cover, and Second Chance. They have 3 albums (Leave a Whisper, Us and Them, and Sound of Madness) and their 4th album is supposed to be released in 2012. Great band!! And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45, swimming through the ashes of another life.
-"45", Shinedown 'Leave A Whisper' |
1. | shinedown | ||
A kickass band with lyrics that actually mean something, unlike most of the tripe out there. Shinedown - 45 is my favorite song.
2. | Shinedown | ||
A "Southern Rock" band from Jacksonville, FL. Heavily influenced by Otis Redding, Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Those influences are heavily reflected in their music, as they have re-recorded Lynyrd Skynyrds' "Simple Man". Shinedown is made up of: Brent Smith(vocals), Jasin Todd(guitar), Barry Kerch(drums) and Brad Stewart(bass).
First brought to the world with their debut album "Leave a whisper", they toured on that album for 2 years. In October of '05 they released their 2nd album entitled "Us and Them". While conventional wisdom dictates that you have your whole life to write your first album and just weeks to write the second, Smith begs to differ. "I had more to talk about on the second record than I did on the first record," he notes. And though they were written back at home, Smith says many of the new songs were inspired by Shinedown's travels – whether ruminations about his own state of being or reflections about the people and stories he encountered on the road.
"I wanted to talk about what I saw," Smith explains. "There are so many songs about fans and the people I talked to, and their lives and their relationships. They're just the most incredible people in the world, but they have so many serious, serious problems to deal with. I wanted to talk about those things. In a way, I feel like I took what they couldn't talk about and hopefully I wrote down what they felt. So when the album comes out and they hear the songs, they'll be able to look at themselves and say, 'He said everything that I wanted to say.' " That, he adds, is why Shinedown decided to call the album "US AND THEM." "It's a dedication to our fans," Smith says, "a thank-you to them for the support, for everything they've given us, and for being there from day one. It's US AND THEM." (taken from their bio located at www.myspace.com/shinedown) |
3. | Shinedown | ||
An awesome rock band...Songs include: Stanger Inside (my fav.), 45, Fly From the Inside, Left Out, Burning Bright...and so on. You should definitly listen to them. Me: Have you eva heard of Shinedown?
Person1: Hell yes, I luff them! Person2: Are you kidding...they suck... Me: *grabs her really hot french fry and stabs person2 in the eye* |
4. | Shinedown | ||
One of THE BEST bands there is out there. Their lyrics are meaningful without useless bits of fluff, every word means something. Some of my favorites would be Second Chance, The Crow and the Butterfly, If you only knew, and a very awesome and kickass song Sound of Madness. I LOVE Shinedown! They kick Justin Beiber's ass!
A stupid band that makes me want to vomit in my own shoes. shinedown sucks especially that stupid butterfly crow shit song BLAAAAA ARGGG BLAAA (that was me vomiting in my shoes)
7. | shinedown | ||
One of the worst bands ever, "Second Chance" was played over the radio so many fucking times. Thank god that stoped, but now they play this shit that sounds like something an angry garbage man would listen too. radio: My eyes are open wide, by the way I made it through the day...
jimmy: WTF is that supposed to mean me: idk, shinedown sucks, change it to dc 101 |

You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles. Deflation Deflation is literally just a lowering of prices, or a general decrease in the level of the price for goods and services Or another way to think about it, since deflation is an increase in the level of prices, you can just view it as negative inflation. And so, let's say we're the folks at the bureau of labor statistics and we are trying to compute the CPI Index And one period, let's call it Period 1 over here. We have our CPI index for Urban consumers that is quoted most often. And we have one basket of goods and it will have housing in it. It will have transportation in it. It will have fuel in it. It might has some proxy for entertainment in it whatever else inside of it and that basket of goods, let's say in period One, and this is a simplification, runs that urban consumer on average 100 dollars, and then we go to Period Two, and we look at that same basket of goods, maybe we're adjusting certain things, maybe some products became obsolete and we have to replace or there has to be some adjustments for technology... given that, assuming that everything else is equal that same basket of goods is now running at 98 dollars, and so, the total costs of goods and services for this kind of average consumer has gone down by 2 dollars. or we can say, that we've experienced negative 2 percent inflation which really just in another way of saying we have experienced deflation now, deflation is not the norm, especially for growing economies, the way that our current economic systems run although it does happen, Japan in particular is probably the most recent, most famous case of deflation and the main reason why economist really don't like deflation, in particular why central bankers really don't like deflation is that it makes it much harder to control the economy, or to fuel the economy which interest rates alone. or actually just with printing money alone, and I'll go into a little bit more depth with that in future videos One thing I do want to make clear, is although deflation is not what we normally see in the broader economy as a whole it does happen very frequently in specific sectors and the most common one is in the technology sector, specifically in hardware, we've all experienced buying a laptop, at one period.. so right now you buy a laptop for maybe 1000 dollars,and then 6 months later, you see the exact same laptop for 500 dollars, and that's just because the rate of technological innovation is growing so fast, that they can produce the same amount of memory and processing power for a lot cheaper now, or for the same amount of money, you can get much more memory and processing power laptops with big screen TVs and phones and all the rest.

Good caring presence within us, around us, and above us;
Hold us in a sense of mystery and wonder.
As an Episcopalian I regularly recite the Apostles' Creed and pray the Lord's Prayer. In doing so, I stand with Jesus' early followers as they struggled to find words that could frame how their lives were being renewed beyond comprehension. My life also is being renewed beyond comprehension, or so I'm convinced, as I try to live out the self-giving embodied in the common life Jesus began. But I live in a vastly different time and place from those of Jesus' early followers. My everyday assumptions about the world and how it works are vastly different, not final truths, mind you, but still different, and just as inescapable as people's everyday assumptions back then.

An Incarnational Model of Scripture
The Bible is no more a book dropped out of the sky than Jesus is some superman who flew down from heaven. Instead, just as Jesus is "God incarnate," both divine and human, the Bible is a book that speaks God's word and reflects the thoughts, ideas, and worldviews of the human authors.
The Collapsing Universe in the Bible
In this essay, Godawa argues that the decreation language of a collapsing universe with falling stars and signs in the heavens was actually symbolic discourse about world-changing events and powers related to the end of the old covenant and the coming of the new covenant as God's "new world order." In this interpretation, predictions of the collapsing universe were figuratively fulfilled in the historic past of the first century.
Science as an Instrument of Worship
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.

Requirements and Guiding Principles of the Master Plan
The overarching goal of this Master Plan will be to find new, sustainable uses for the Rail Yards site that preserve its historic architecture and complement surrounding neighborhoods. Because of the funding sources the City used to purchase the site, the redevelopment of the Rail Yards must include a minimum of 30 units of Workforce Housing, as defined by City Ordinance, and a WHEELS Museum. Other uses will be determined through the Master Plan process. The following seven principles, which formed the basis of the Master Plan Agreement between the City and Samitaur, will guide the development of the Master Plan:
- Job Generation. The Project Area was once an economic pillar for the community and must become one again. The Master Plan should accommodate uses which provide the opportunity for the generation of quality, living- and high-wage jobs and programs which will link those jobs with community residents.
- Housing. Housing availability is an important element of the Master Plan. The Master Plan will provide for the targeted housing (minimum 30 units of Workforce Housing). The Master Plan should also endeavor to provide additional affordable and market rate housing if deemed feasible. The Master Plan should consider and coordinate the housing component with the City's ongoing efforts to rehabilitate existing housing. The Workforce Housing should seek to preserve the neighborhood heritage and interface with employment and service opportunities.
- Community. The Master Plan for the Project Area will reflect efforts to be sensitive to and interface with the surrounding neighborhoods, including Barelas, South Broadway and San Jose. Uses in the Master Plan will reflect efforts to complement and support adopted plans for and commercial areas within the surrounding neighborhoods. The Master Plan will reflect efforts to support current and planned economic activity in the Downtown area and, where physically and economically possible, reinforce the City's transit goals and objectives and integrate with and complement existing and proposed features and attractions in the area (e.g., the Albuquerque Zoo and BioPark, Tingley Beach, Rio Grande State Park, the National Hispanic Cultural Center, the South Broadway Cultural Center, Old Town and its museums, Downtown Albuquerque and its amenities, the Alvarado Transportation Center, the Historic 4th Street Corridor, etc.).
- Architecture and Historic Preservation. The Master Plan must both preserve and capitalize on the historic value of the architectural and engineering resources at the site. The City and Samitaur share the belief that the site has local, national, and international cultural and historic significance.
- Art and Culture. The Master Plan will include opportunities for both art and culture, including, but not limited to the WHEELS Museum. Access to public open spaces within the Project Area will be provided.
- Economic Development. The Master Plan will be designed to achieve economic and business success for the Project Area.
- Economic Viability. These Guiding Principles are subject to the overarching need for the Master Plan to create a Project Area that is an economically viable endeavor individually and collectively for the City, Samitaur, WHEELS Museum, Workforce Housing, tenant/users, the public and surrounding communities without creating a need for indefinite direct and/or indirect City or Samitaur funding.

Rail Yards Master Developer
In 2010, the City issued a Request for Proposals for a Master Developer for the Rail Yards. Through this competitive process, the City selected the team of California-based developers Samitaur Constructs and Albuquerque-based Union Development Corporation. The City entered into a Master Plan Agreement with Samitaur Constructs in June 2012.
This site and its significant historic structures, located in the historic Barelas neighborhood and between the rail road tracks and 2nd Street, reflect an important part of Albuquerque's economic and industrial past. The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad established locomotive repair shops and offices at the site in the 1880s and these were modernized and expanded by the Santa Fe Railway from 1912 onwards. The Santa Fe Railway was one of Albuquerque's biggest employers and played a significant role in the development of the city. The shops were in full operation until the 1950s, with the switch from steam engines to diesel engines. After the switch from steam to diesel, the rail yards continued to be used for some repairs and storage.
Information for this section came from Chris Wilson, J.B. Jackson Professor of Cultural Landscape Studies and Director of the Historic Preservation and Regionalism Program, both at the School of Architecture and Planning, University of New Mexico
History of the Rail Yards Site: An assessment of significance.
Engine being carried in the railroad shops. The property was purchased by the City of Albuquerque in 2007 through state and local funding. (R-07-202, R-07-274, R-07-332)
Following the City's purchase of the Rail Yards in 2007, the City of Albuquerque, along with the Wheels Museum and the University of New Mexico School of Architecture and Planning, invited the Urban Land Institute to conduct an Advisory Services Panel to help the City determine the potential best and highest uses for redeveloping the site. The ULI panel visited for five days, from February 24-29, 2008. The panel, composed of nine experienced individuals involved in planning, architecture and real estate development, was given four non-negotiable parameters:
- The major buildings and the smaller historically significant buildings must be rehabilitated;
- The Wheels Museum will locate its operations in one or more of the historic buildings;
- Redevelopment must have a mixed-income housing component that includes workforce housing;
- Redevelopment must benefit the adjacent neighborhoods.
With these parameters in mind the ULI panel was asked to address a series of questions. Read more: Rail Yard Questions >>
The ULI panel produced a series of recommendations focused on four areas: market potential, planning and design, development strategies, and implementation.
- Market Potential- Various uses are possible on the site but the site's master developer will need to find an anchor user, whether it is conventional retail, commercial, or industrial.
- Planning and Design- No single use or user is likely for the site; therefore, a phased development program is appropriate.
- Development Strategies- The city should select the master developer and the property should be rendered as appealing as possible by eliminating the hurdles to successful development.
- Implementation- Pre-development strategies should include appropriate marketing of the site and the creation of an advisory board to oversee the development process.
The ULI panel report concluded that several steps should be followed prior to the redevelopment of the Rail Yards. One of these steps was to create an advisory board whose responsibilities would include hiring the writer of the RFP, selecting finalists for the RFP and selecting the master developer. The Albuquerque Rail Yards Advisory Board was created in March 2008.
Rail Yards Advisory Board
The Rail Yards Advisory Board was formed in March 2008 through Bill no. F/SR-08-47. The composition of the Rail Yards Advisory Board is intended to reflect the diverse interests and stakeholders associated with the site. The following is a list of the Board members and who they represent.

Ryanair: Grenoble to Kerry
- Depart: Grenoble, France - Grenoble-Isère (GNB)
- Arrive: Kerry, Ireland (KIR)
- Website: ryanair.com
About this flight
The carrier: Ryanair
The big daddy of them all, Irish low-cost carrier Ryanair maintains the most awe-inspiring route map and tends to add new destinations (and cancel unprofitable routes) at blistering, breakneck speed. Founded in 1985, Ryanair was Europe's original low fares airline and is still Europe's largest low fares carrier. At current count, Ryanair operates well over 1000 routes, from Inverness to Brindisi; Tampere to Tenerife.
It's easy to have lots of opinions about Ryanair; we certainly do. It's a big monster of an airline. We've been pleased as punch on Ryanair, psyched to take advantage of insanely cheap fares, and we've also been annoyed beyond belief with the airline, distressed by enormous surcharges on too-heavy luggage and staff who appear to be completely clueless.
With Ryanair more than with the other airlines we describe here, it pays to be informed about potential penalties and pitfalls.
Massive number of destinations. Really cheap fares.
Numerous extra charges when booking. Customer care isn't a priority. Food prices on board very steep.
* Carry-on: One piece of luggage not to exceed 10 kg.
* Checked: Up to 3 bags with a combined weight of 15 kg. If booked on-line using Ryanair, the first bag is €15 and the second and third bags are €20 each. Over 15 kg, €15 per kg at the airport. Please note that Ryanair increases the price by €5 in July and August.
* Please visit Ryanair's website for more information on its baggage policy.
Since Ryanair is free for all when it comes to landing seats, it can sometimes be worth it to pay the €5 for priority boarding. In advance, book priority boarding status online, if you hold an EU passport.
Check-in and Ticketing
If you check in at the airport, you will also incur a €5 fee. The fee is €10 at the airport. Note that American passengers can only check in at the airport. Online check-in is available from 15 days to 4 hours before departure. The boarding pass can be printed until 40 minutes before departure. If you lose your pass then you will have to pay a fee to have a new one reissued. Bag drop closes 40 minutes before departure, so if you check-in online you must make sure to have your bags in on time.
Book online whenever possible because fees are significantly reduced. Also familiarize yourself with Ryanair's table of fees.
more...Departure: Grenoble, France - Grenoble-Isère (GNB)
Grenoble-Isère Airport or "Aéroport de Grenoble-Isère," also known as Grenoble - Saint-Geoirs Airport, serves the small town of Grenoble and multiple ski resorts in the area. The airport was originally built for the 1968 Winter Olympics. Rhône-Alpes has hosted the Games on three occasions, in Chamonix, Grenoble and Albertville.
Grenoble-Isère Airport is located 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) northwest of Saint-Étienne-de-Saint-Geoirs and 37 kilometers (23 miles) from Grenoble, both communes in the Isère département of France.

Do you know of a scooter rental place and have an email I can send them a question?
Hi all, I was in Nice 2 years ago for the first time and loved it however with the kids they got very bored very quick, I am wanting to go back next year at the end of May and was wondering if there are any local playgrounds or parks for kids to go to ages 3 1/2 and 5. I know of the park in Antibes and will go there but local parks I would like to find. Also is it true that there is always an amusement park in the old town ? Thank you in advance :)
My family and I will be arriving by cruise ship in Villefranche sur Mer at 9 am and departing at 9 pm. We would like to rent bikes and ride to Monaco via Cap Ferat and return to Villefranche sur Mer. How long will that take us to bike? Are there any cafes or sights along the way that should not be missed?
We are planning to visit Nice from Aug 19 to 22. Please suggest
Hotels costing $ 150-200
Must visit places around nice in this short time.
In July I'm visiting friends in Vallauris. I'm planning to take a trip to Paris and stay there for some days.
As I see it, I can take a train fram Vallauris to Nice and then take either a train or a plane to Paris. But I'm not sure how to get from Vallauris to Paris the easiest and cheapest.way?
Best regards
Hi, I will be attending a summer course at Prodarom in Grasse this summer. My question is regarding accommodation - suggestions for nice hotels or possibly apartment rental and whether it is better to stay close to the GIP or in the centre and go by bus or foot? I have not been to Grasse so am unfamiliar with the distances between places. I will not have a car but like to walk :) Any advise is much appreciated! Best regards, Sylvia
what are the best restaurants near the Mediterranean sea?
Our ship will be docking in Toulon, France early December. I am thinking Aix en Provence is probably the best choice. Does anyone know of good shore excursion companies? I would really like to tour a perfumerie or lavender field, but I don't think lavender is in season that time of year :(
Are there day tours to wine country where we can taste wine and sample the local food?
Hi, We plan to do a day trip from Nice to Cannes and another from Nice to Monaco. We will be staying at Hotel Mercure Nice Centre Grimaldi, 6 Rue Grimaldi, 06000 Nice. Request for some specific details on the following: (1) Which bus to take to Cannes and from where. (2) Where to get down at Cannes? (3) How to get to the beach at Juan Les Pins from Cannes by Public transport (4) Which bus to take to Monaco from Nice (5) Be grateful from specific locations of bus stops etc. Thanks in advance.
We will be in Quissac for 3 weeks in August & would like to stay a few nights in Aix. Could someone please recommend a place. Also would you recommend having the use of a car in Aix. We will have a rental car but prefer taking a train if we really dont need a . What would be the best train service from Quissac area to Aix
We were planning to take a train from Arles to Avignon and then the navette to the Avignon TGV station, but I noticed in Rick Steves that there is a direct SNCF bus to the Avignon TGV station. We would take that on the way back to Aix-en-Provence, so I think it would save a little time. I looked and saw that there is a bus station in Arles, as well as the train station, but then it dawned on me that Rick Steves didn't say where to catch the SNCF bus. Anyone know?
Which buses go from Nice to Cagnes sur mer and bring the passenger as near as possible to the shuttle to the chateau?
Can somebody tell me how to get to Musee Renoir from Nice. Where do I go once I get off the bus? Thanks
