Heh. Bob, I would have said the OPPOSITE! It seems to me that ANTI-religionists like to point at some of the ridiculous stuff in the Bible (written, as you correctly point out, by human beings over multiple generations in antiquity) as a way of discrediting religious thought, even in its most abstract forms.
Interesting, no?

Wow, the hatred is unbelievable. As a Christian, I would appreciate it if folks could keep their anti-religous bigotry and hated to themselves. Pablo made a simple post to let people know about this download. If you don't care about this product, fine. Why must you post your hate? If you don't have anything nice to say, maybe you shouldn't say anything at all.

Interesting debate going on. :)
I had a degree in Biology and was reading books by Hawkings and Paul Davies when the origin of the universe kept popping into my mind.
How did everything come from nothing? Didn't make any sense to me.
There was no space, no time, no quantum physics, not even an empty vacumn. Why would an explosion happen to start the universe?
Something had to start this lovely place we call the universe off and it wasn't itself.
Just a thought for ya. :)
PS. Pablo. Great idea for the iPod.

Isn't it interesting, if this were a program to add the Quran or other books that are religious book (which the Bible is not, Jesus is on every page if you bother to look and He was the most anti religious man who ever lives) then I'm sure these arguments would not be here.
It is no surprise to me that they are, have you ever thought about that some of you, you would realise thats because the Bible is true, the Bible states that the cross is foolishness to those who are perashishing, the fact so many of you are so worked up and angry at this program, that is Bible could possibly be true shows it.
xScience, you are right to think it's stupid that nothing was there billions of years ago and then it exploded to make the universe, or somehow the universe created itself, any common sense will grant anyone that insight, but this is what the unbeliver, the Atheist with a huge load of faith (which they have to as they have no proof, just guesses) thinks is true.
Most scientists today know that the universe is not infinite, so the theory that if you have enough time you are mathematically certain to get a universe or anything at all falls flat on it's face, for one thing, if it was you would never get to today (think about it), also infinity is not loads and loads of time, it's the lack of time all together, time is a finite thing because it is a physical thing, infinity is no time at all, because it's not physical but outside the dimensions of the universe it does therefore have no beginning or end, which is exactly what the Bible said thousands of years ago and science if only catching up, there is no need to choose between science and God, there is only truth and lies.
Posted by Gavin on October 4, 2004 at 7:18 PM (CDT)
If anything if you did have millions or billions of years at hand it would be less likely not more to form into what we have, even if it were possible for nothing to make itself because order goes to disorder, not disorder to order, anyone can see that day to day, the only way you can make it go disorder to order is with information, and you only get that with intelligence.
As for those that here that think you get to heaven because you live a good or righteous life, ask yourself this, who is good? who is righteous? do you know someone, anyone who has never done anything wrong? who is perfect? who has never lied, ever, stolen, hated someone else?
No, there is no one good, not one, God does not weigh your good deeds against your bad and if you have more good your in, it does not work that way, if you put on a nice clean shirt to go to a job interview, and on the way your drop some sauce from a sandwich your eating for breakfast onto that shirt, the mark may be small, but is that shirt clean because the mark looks small? No, the shirt is now considered dirty in whole, the same with sin, if you have broken one law, then all is considered broken, and good works are like used menstrual clothes, useless without Christ, and that which is not perfect can not be with that which is, that is God.
Some think that they will get to heaven because God will forgive them because they are basically nice people and God is loving. It is true that God is loving, in fact He is love itself, but thats actually the reason why he must judge and punish people for their sin, not let them go, if you were in a court room for a crime and stood up and said to the judge "I know I did wrong, but I know you are a good man and so will let me go", He might say something like this "Yes you are right, I am a good man, but for that very reason I must make sure you are punished for your crimes" You see God is love, but that will not save you, not in that way at least.
Posted by Gavin on October 4, 2004 at 7:19 PM (CDT)
But also because God is love He also made sure of a way out, He knows he has to judge sin and so the person that does it, but also because He is love He does not want to have to do that with anyone, He loves us more than anyone could, in fact what we call love from other people is just a shadow compared to His for everyone of us, because of this he made a way, the only way for Him to both judge sin but at the same time allow any of us to avoid the punishment for that and be with Him is for someone to take our place and go to hell for what we have done, but if that person is also loved (which everyone is) then that person has to be perfect, without sin, and no human is, so God knew they only one who could take our place was Him, only He could do it, and thats what He did, He was born a man so He could die and take our blame and punishment and because He was also fully God and perfect He could not be held in hell forever, and so lives, all we have to do is believe this and follow Him, only through Christ is forgiveness of anything possible.
For those that don't believe this and that the Bible is true, I ask you, how much do you know of it? how much have you read and studied and looked of it, how much effort have you made to find out? I tell you, I am not a Christian, I am in a dark place right now, but I have looked, myself and with sure help, over the last 2-3 years, and no matter what happens in my life, nothing could make me deny Christ at least in words and deny the Bible, even though I know little because there is much, I still have learnt more than you can imagine, things that are impossible for any human to know, and things impossible for any human even with thousands of years and thousands of super computers to have made in the Bible text, this book had no human author, humans put pen to paper so to speak, but they were just dictating what the author wanted.
I tell you, look, search, dig before you say no to God or the Bible, open it and read without a heart that has made it's choice before hand, just like Jesus, he was pronounce guilty a long time before the his trial was even thought of, don't be like that, it is our nature to reject God and the things of Him, but look before shouting "NO!!!", Is that not the smart move, the truth will never be found to those that reject it, if you do look and when you do find it remember, there is only one God and the Lord is His name.

Posted by wes on October 4, 2004 at 9:51 PM (CDT)
wes, as I said, if you don't want the truth you will never get it, there are no contradictions in the bible(mistransalations yes, but not contradictions), just things you don't understand and need more work than most non believers are willing to do, I've seen a number of things that appear contradictions but if you look deeper you find out it's not so, its an insight waiting to be found.
But in the end there are many things you will never understand unless you have God's spirit in you, and you cant have that if you reject Him from the get go.
Posted by Gavin on October 4, 2004 at 10:09 PM (CDT)
I visited the skeptics annotated bible website you suggested, looked at Genesis Chapter 1 and there were 3 things suggested as contradictions.
a) There are 2 accounts of the creation that contradict each other.
b) That light existed before the sun was created.
c) That Whales and birds were created before reptiles and insects.
For a) have a look at this link:
For b) have a look at this link:
For c) it is only the Evolutionary model that dictates that mammals and birds should come before reptiles and insects. In relation to biblical creation this is not a contradiction.
As a side note have a look at where the website sees a contradiction on what animal the gospels say Jesus rode into Jerusalem. They have it that Matthew says a colt and ass, Mark a colt, Luke a colt and John a young ass.
The explanation: A colt is a young ass. The reading of the passage in Matthew has been taken too literally. And really reads that he rode in on an ass, not even an ass, a young ass.
If there are any other bits on the website you want me to have a look at, let me know.
PS No ass jokes! :)

religion is a mental deficiency.
i used to be a strong conservative christian and i have greater understanding of the bible than probably do most of the posters in this thread. the problem is that the bible is full of garbage written by lots of different people with political motives. i mean do any of you really believe that genisis is LITTERALLY true? please. its just fairy tales and absurb crap. once you can admit that you may be wrong, then you can really move forward and learn.
the sun doesnt move around the earth does it? science shows that, so why would you disagree with all the other proofs against the myths in the bible?
Posted by wes on October 5, 2004 at 4:49 PM (CDT)
Where it says that the sun moves around the earth?
Posted by chivo on October 5, 2004 at 5:15 PM (CDT)
Religion is mans attempt to pay the price for sin, but man can not pay that price, Jesus Christ paid it for us.
By the way, wes, you never were a Christian, your not a Christian just because you call yourself one or you do certain things, you are a Christian if you are in Christ, you also can not become a Christian and then not be one, you are saved or not and thats that.
Yes Genesis is literal, do you believe nothing made itself? It's a finite universe, and you cant have infinite time, so your stuck.
Also the universe and world and our own bodies are so obviously designed things, and you cant have a design without a designer, evolution is absurdity that even most scientists today dont believe in, but of course you won't hear them shout about it of course as that would mean accepting a designer did it which would make far too much sense for them to cope with, it would also mean being responsible.
A bunch load of scienctists by the way have by scientifict means come to the result that the universe was made in six days, just by being honest with themselves for a change they figured that out.
Once you admit your very nature doesnt want the truth, then maybe you can move on and learn that there is more to the just the text you read, a lot of things are to do with translations.
For example your sun going around the earth thing, well thats an old one that never held water, the bible does not say that, thats just yours and others shallow understanding and as you dont want it to be true anyway you look no further.
One example that people use to say the Bible says the sun goes around the earth is Psalm 19 verse 6 which goes (talking about the sun):
"His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof."
No where there does it say the earth doesnt move around the sun, in fact science now knows that the sun in fact does move, not around the earth but around in a gigantic orbit around the center of the Milky Way galaxy; traveling at 600,000 miles an hour. It also is believed that our galaxy is moving with respect to other galaxies in the Universe. The Sun's going forth is indeed from one end of the heavens to the other.
Posted by Gavin on October 5, 2004 at 8:23 PM (CDT)
Another verse used is Psalm 93 verse 1 where it states "the world also is established, that it can not be moved", now you have to realise something, english is nowhere near as good a laungage as Hebrew or Greek that the Bible was written in, both those laungages are far more dense and expressive than english, you could write a whole sentence to express what Hebrew or Greek can say in just a few words, also many words have multiple meaning that can only be understood by its context and other words in the same sentence, but of course you would only know this if you want to know. Anyway, that verse does only state that the earth can not be moved from its orbit, only God himself could do that, we cant.
Another one is Joshua 10 verses 12 to 14 in which Joshua asks the Lord to make the Sun and Moon stand still so that he could finish a battle he was in in daylight hours, but how on earth anyone comes up with the idea that the Earth goes around the Sun just from that is nuts, its both a gross misinterpretation and a misapplication of the verse. This passage does not teach geocentricity (that is Earth is center of Universe and the Sun and planets go around it).
Also another myth for you is the fact people think the Bible teaches the Earth is flat, again false, one verse in Revelation states that there will be angels standing on the four corners of the Earth, people assume from that the Bible says the Earth is flat because it has corners, if once again you want to know the truth and look for it you will find out that in the original text it means north, south, east, and west.
Also in many other verses the Bible actually teaches the Earth is a sphere floating in space, in a number of verses the word circle is used to discribe the shape of the Earth, now some would say aha it means a flat disc, but not so, if you look at the original Hebrew it actually means sphere, once again, you only know this if you want to. The idea that many in history have believed that the Earth is flat because of the Bible is another myth, in fact the opposite is true, many believed the Earth was a sphere because of the Bible, it was very few that believed in a flat Earth.

Posted by sheesh on October 5, 2004 at 9:13 PM (CDT)
The King James version of the bible only!!!
What about the other versions of the bible? Why weren't they included as well?
Oh thats right the KJ version is the most widely accepted version. Gee ... can't you people even agree on a single version of the bible? Let alone a single religion?
Wouldn't "someone" from above have made the decision as to which version was correct.
I can hear it now in a thundering voice .... "THE KING JAMES VERSION IS THE ONE YOU MUST FOLLOW"
And then it was so.
Posted by PeeBee on October 5, 2004 at 11:31 PM (CDT)
If we could all read Hebrew and Greek then we wouldn't need translations.
The differences between the version are language style and translating techniques. All are translated from the Hebrew and Greek bible.

Yields may contract further as credit risk recedes after a debt restructuring and Dana continues to receive cash from the two countries, said Gus Chehayeb, director of Middle East and North Africa research at Exotic Ltd. and Emad Mostaque, a strategist at Noah Capital Markets. Delays in payments by Egypt and Iraqi Kurdish authorities forced Dana to renegotiate terms on nearly $1 billion of debt after it missed an Oct. 31 payment, prompting speculation creditors might seek to seize assets.
"Dana Gas has been catching up with the broader corporate bond rally in the GCC as it offers attractive nominal yields," Mostaque said by phone Feb. 6. "Investors also now feel more comfortable about assets underlying the sukuk. It's potentially undervalued post restructuring, although investors would want to see more progress on payments from Egypt and Kurdistan."

@Submariner- I also wanted to point out that women benefit from microfinance incredibly. It is not a perfect system, but microfinance institutions (the good ones) are helping empower women across the globe. In many of the countries where you find microfinance programs, women hold less power than men do. The loans do help educate, employ, and emancipate women from oppressive situations.
The main caveat about microfinance is that it cannot function sustainably as a standalone social program. It cannot be a solution for a state to reduce social welfare programs that help the poor, because then it only serves the purpose of driving people deeper into poverty.
If you really want to invest, look for a non-profit organization that only keeps a small percentage of its income for expanding microfinance opportunities. Try to find banks that are operationally efficient, and check reviews on independent microfinance rating sites.

While official interest rates are low, more competition in the deposit account market have led to rich pickings for savers. High-interest internet savings accounts have changed the way many of us save.
Promises of 'no bank fees ever' coupled with competitive rates and special deals seem to have struck a chord with Australian consumers.
They've also forced some of the bigger, more established banks to improve their offers in an attempt to stem the flow of customers leaving in search of higher rates.
Please note: this information was current as of January 2008 but is still a useful guide to today's market. For more recent information, see our Best online savings account 2011.
If you've got money parked in an everyday transaction account paying next to nothing interest, you could be earning much more by switching to an account with a better rate.
If you've got web access, opening an account is reasonably straightforward and the interest rates are often much better than 'traditional' and 'bonus saver' accounts.
Iterest on the best term deposits is similar to the best internet savings accounts. Rates are fixed for the term. The drawback is you lose liquidity – early withdrawals are penalised with a break fee.
Alternatively (or in addition), you may prefer an account designed for both transactions and savings. Examples include CMAs (that usually require several thousand dollars to start an account or receive the higher interest rate) and other 'hybrid' accounts that combine higher interest with the ability to transact (for example, using ATMs, paying bills, using phone and internet banking for transfers).
Even when bonus rates are added, the rates on most traditional savings accounts often fall well short of the best term deposits, cash management accounts and internet savings accounts.

Approved documents
[edit] Introduction
The first set of national building standards was introduced in 1965. The 'building regulations' established standards that had to be achieved in the construction of buildings. The 'approved documents' provide guidance for how the building regulations can be satisfied in common building situations. They are given legal status by the Building Act 1984.
In England, the Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) is responsible for the Building Regulations 2010 and The Building (Approved Inspectors etc.) Regulations 2010. The regulations apply to most new buildings and many alterations to existing buildings.
There is no obligation to adopt the solutions presented in the approved documents. The building regulations can be satisfied in other ways.
For information about building regulations in the UK outside of England see:
[edit] The approved documents
[edit] Part A: Structure
Requires buildings to be designed, constructed or altered so as to be structurally safe and robust, and also so as not to impair the structural stability of other buildings. It stipulates design standards for use on all buildings and gives simple design rules for most masonry and timber elements for traditional domestic buildings. It incudes diagrams of structures such as roof frames and brick walls, and tables of material strengths.
[edit] Part B: Fire safety.
Covers all precautionary measure that is necessary to provide safety from fires for building occupants, persons in the vicinity of buildings, and firefighters. Requirements and guidance covers means of escape in cases fire, fire detection and warning systems, the fire resistance of structural elements, fire separation, protection, compartmentation and isolation to prevent fire spread, control of flammable materials, and access and facilities for firefighting.
[edit] Part C: Site preparation and resistance to contaminants and moisture.
Incudes the weather-tightness and water-tightness of buildings, subsoil drainage, site preparation, and measures to deal with contaminated land, radon, methane, and all other site related hazardous and dangerous substances.
[edit] Part D: Toxic substances.
This controls hazards from the toxic chemicals used in cavity fill insulation systems. Part C controls toxic hazards from ground contaminants and/or brownfield development.
[edit] Part E: Resistance to the passage of sound.
Deals with requirements for sound insulation between buildings, including both new dwellings and the conversion of buildings to form dwellings. these cover sound reduction between rooms for residential purposes and designated rooms in dwellings, and acoustic conditions for common areas in flats and schools.
[edit] Part F: Ventilation.
Includes standards for ventilation and air quality for all buildings. It also covers requirements for the prevention of condensation.
[edit] Part G: Sanitation, hot water safety and water efficiency.
Lays down standards for the provision of sanitary and washing facilities, bathrooms and hot water provision. It also covers safety requirements in respect to unvented hot water systems.
[edit] Part H: Drainage and waste disposal.
Requires that adequate drainage, and also deals with pollution prevention and sewage infrastructure and maintenance. Technical design standards cover sanitary pipework, foul drainage, rainwater drainage and disposal, wastewater treatment, and discharges and cesspools.
[edit] Part J: Heat producing appliances and Fuel storage system.
Covers the construction, installation and use of boilers, chimneys, flues, hearths and fuel storage installations. Also requirements to control fire sources and prevent burning, pollution, carbon monoxide poisoning, etc.
[edit] Part K: Protection from falling, collision and impact.
Set standards for the safety of stairways, ramps and ladders, together with requirements for balustrading, windows, and vehicle barriers to prevent falling. Also include are requirements for guarding against and warning of, hazards from the use and position of doors and windows.
[edit] Part L: Conservation of fuel and power.
Controls the insulation values of buildings elements, the allowable area of windows, doors and other opening, the air permeability of the structure, the heating efficiency of boilers, hot water storage and lighting. It also controls mechanical ventilation and air conditioning systems, space heating controls, airtightness testing of larger buildings, solar emission, the certification, testing and commissioning of heating and ventilation systems, and requirements for energy meters. It also sets requirements for Carbon Index ratings.
[edit] Part M: Access to and use of buildings.
Requires the inclusive provision of ease of access to, and circulation within, all buildings, together with requirements for facilities for disabled people.
[edit] Part N: Glazing - Safety in relation to impact, opening and cleaning.
(Withdrawn on 6 April 2013 other than in Wales where it still applies).

[edit] Ongoing changes
A number of changes are being made to the building regulations and approved documents in 2013. Some of the key changes and the dates for their introduction are presented below:
April 2013:
- Approved document K was amended to include provisions previously in approved document N and some overlapping provisions of approved document M.
- Approved document N was withdrawn (although it still applies in Wales).
- Approved document P was amended to change the work that is notifiable and to allow third party certification of some works.
- Approved document M was amended to include guidance for alterations to non-domestic buildings, audience and spectator facilities, refreshment facilities, sleeping accommodation and switches, outlets and controls, educational establishments and access statements.
- Approved documents B1 and B2 had a large number of detailed changes (see P2 of the approved documents for details) including guidance on smoke alarms, wall coverings, lighting diffusers and rooflights.
July 2013:
- The approved document for regulation 7: Materials and workmanship, was amended to comply with the Construction Products Regulations.
- Approved Documents L1A, L2A, L1B and L2B were amended to take account of Energy Performance Certificates that came into force in January 2013.
- Regulation 23 (Requirements for the renovation or replacement of thermal elements) and Regulation 25A (Consideration of high-efficiency alternative systems for new buildings) of the building Regulations came into force.
October 2013:
- Approved document A: Structure, was amended to adopt Eurocodes in place of British Standards. British Standards are likely to continue to be used during an overlap period, and care must be taken to avoid confusion between the two.
- Approved document C: Site preparation and resistance to contaminants and moisture, was amended to reflect new guidance on radon protection and to update references to the Contaminated Land Regulations and the CDM Regulations.
- Approved documents L1A, L1B, L2A and L2B were upgraded in 2014, with a 6% increase in performance standards for new dwellings and 9% for non-domestic buildings. The changes were be introduced on 6 April 2014. The new regulations do not apply to building work commenced before 6 April 2014, or where an application has been deposited before 6 April 2014 as long as work commences before 6 April 2015.

You are invited to join a group of about 10 people with type 2 diabetes at a place near you.

You will also have the chance to find out and discuss subjects such as choosing the right foods, physical activity and medication.
The sessions are friendly and relaxed. People who have attended them often say that they value sharing their experiences with others in the group. You won't be put on the spot and you can take part in the programme as much or as little as you like. DESMOND sessions are delivered in English, Urdu and Gujurati.

The App
Small Talk Chinese's mission is to make you more confident in your Chinese. To get you there, Small Talk focuses on content and engagement.
Gone are the days of boring lessons about going to the Great Wall and eating Peking Duck. Instead, Small Talk uses a dialogue-focused approach to teach you lines you might actually say, like how to sweet talk your honey, stress out about work, and tell your friend her new outfit is a little trashy.
Interactive exercises coupled with the dialogues force you to actively engage the content. Pinyin, English definitions, Chinese pronunciations and translations are all just a tap away.
Our first release is just the beginning. We are working hard to add features such as custom vocabulary lists, new exercises and content, and sharing elements. We are currently seeking funding to make this app everything we want it to be. Contact us at email@example.com

Having started learning Chinese in high school, Zac knows firsthand that learning Chinese is a difficult process. Small Talk Chinese is the tool he always wanted, so he finally decided to just build it.
Small Talk Chinese is developed on open source technology. The app's framework uses HTML5 and Sencha Touch. It's wrapped for distribution using PhoneGap.

As commission chairman J.L Plummer runs meetings like a circus ringmaster. With a witticism for nearly every situation, the commissioner seems to be hamming it up for the cable television cameras. When Arthur Teele recently asked to hear an architect's opinion on a zoning issue, Plummer reminded his fellow commissioner the man could not speak unless he registered as a lobbyist. "Mr. Teele, no tickee, no laundry," Plummer said acerbically.
Later in the day Plummer called for a break that would last no more than five minutes. "A real five-minute recess. Not mas o menos, a real five-minute recess," the chairman quipped. "I gotta go do something no one else can do for me."
When perennial commission gadflies Manuel Gonzalez-Goenaga and Mariano Cruz request to speak on an issue, Plummer makes his discontent clear. "I vote to put you on a boat and send you out to sea," he says.
Unlike most of his fellow commissioners, who wear snazzy suits with silk ties and dine at the city's finest eateries, Plummer prefers a man-of-the people style. His wardrobe of polyester shirts and clip-on ties with a black digital watch has remained unchanged for years. The only signs of luxury are his purple Cadillac and the unlit cigar he keeps in his mouth. (He dropped a forty-year smoking habit six years ago.) He eats dinner every evening at the homey Maria's Greek Restaurant on Coral Way.
But his income tax returns indicate he can afford much more. In 1998 Plummer reported earnings of $116,285, $29,285 of which came from the City of Miami in salary and benefits. The remainder came from the funeral home. He also received another $21,000 in interest from bank accounts and dividends from investments. Regardless of the large cash flow, Plummer claimed enough deductions to receive a $13,665 refund from the Internal Revenue Service.
Despite his salt-of-the-earth persona, Plummer has no qualms accepting large contributions from special-interest groups. According to a campaign finance report filed this past July, he has accepted $131,995 in donations, nearly double the $70,335 garnered by challenger Johnny Winton. Nearly one-third of Plummer's money comes from developers and companies with interest in real estate development. It's no surprise that Winton, who rehabilitates old office buildings, received half his campaign money from construction companies and similar interests.
Some political observers predict Plummer may not be around to oversee another wave of construction. Winton argues the incumbent does not deserve to be re-elected because he did nothing to stem Miami's financial meltdown, repair urban decay, or improve its abysmal services. Since Plummer was not part of the solution, he must be part of the problem, Winton surmises. "Why didn't he ask questions about what was going on? Is he just tired?" asks political strategist Ric Katz. "An alert and aware commissioner would have seen things and taken action. He is going to suffer guilt by association."
And Winton has raised plenty of money to get his message out to the 42,000 registered voters in the district. By November his campaign should garner more than $100,000 for the election.
Plummer has three decades of politics on his side. When the new single-member districts were carved out in 1997, he got a fairly secure niche. In 1995 Plummer took two of every three votes cast in the 34 precincts that form the district along Miami's Upper Eastside, according to county voting records. Yet there are problems: The longest-serving commissioner will be the first to test the new single-member districts; disenchanted voters might flock to the polls for the first time, bad news for Plummer. "There will be a lot of people looking for new blood," opines Glenn Terry, a Coconut Grove activist. "Give somebody new a chance. The old city commission does not have an impressive record."

Remember when you ran to catch the school bus as a kid? The chase only lasted a few seconds, but you were still winded. That's the type of exercise almost nobody does as an adult, but if you want to improve your sprint time, you need to work on short bursts of explosive exercise.
You can develop your body's energy system responsible for this sort of explosiveness with 4- to 6-second drills, and it's not necessary to perform sprints at first. Instead, kick it into high gear for 5 seconds on a bike or move your feet back and forth over a line as quickly as you can for 5 seconds will work. Watch this video as an example.
These drills don't require you to decelerate your body like sprinting does so you're less likely to blow a hammy, but you'll still condition your mind and body for speed.
Work on mobility, stability and strength, which all contribute to speed as well, and then try progressing to short sprints and work on your running technique to shave seconds off your time.

Just Design released an adorable wedge thong sandal with texture change options and also with the option for an ankle bracelet and/or toe rings. The fat pack is full of several and I mean SEVERAL options and the hud makes it very easy to mix and match colors to your hearts content.
LpD released a new skirt set but I am only wearing the skirt in the pic above. The blouse that came with it was lovely but I wasn't thrilled with the the texturing on the shoulders and arms. I am rather picky about things lining up just right so while it was very pretty, I decided to instead pair the skirt with this top from Decoy. You can't see it but it has a very cute waist tie thing going on. Love. All that being said, I don't regret buying the outfit at all!

Savana Rose
Savannah Rose is a thirteen year old girl from the Orange Archipelago. Calling her dainty is a good way to get kicked in the face, twice. The tanned brunet is rather athletic, her whole body seemingly made of calluses and whipcord muscle. Her hair is cute, short and spiky, to keep people from grabbing hold of it. Savannah's fighting style revolves around fast movement on the battle field, fast hits, and working in cooperation with her pokemon to take down opponent's quickly. Her weapon of choice is a springy hazel quarterstaff she doesn't let get out of her reach, because not only is it a good augment to her reach and defense, but because some times a stout stick can solve problems all by itself. Savannah's clothes are minimalist, a tight sleeveless Gi top, and pants designed not to hamper movement, They were once colored white, but sea, wild and lack of care has given the whole outfit an uneven greyish hue. Songs: Eye of the Tiger Kung Fu Fighting Ballroom Blitz Pokemon: http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/255f.gif http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/123f.gif |
Athlete's a solid class, the most pokemon battle-oriented one that martial artist gets. Which is sad, because that means that martial artists are hands down the worst at helping their pokemon be amazing. Well, massage therapists are comparable, hard to say which one's better.
They do get easy juggler access though, as it used to be one of their advanced classes. It's much better then any actual martial artist class for pokemon battling. |
Welcome to character thread Vinom!
Thanks Hatter.
@Jeer: Juggler, Blackbelt, Ace Trainer or Chaser all seem like decent options for this character. |
I instantly befriend you!
I'd help you teach that Totodile drunken master.
I love you..... ^_^
It's not physically possible for a human, even a girl, to weigh only 87 lb. and be 5'7" without a truly severe case of malnutrition. If she was around 5 feet it would be more believable.
This is true. BMI charts may be shit for actually determining obesity, but it does helpfully provide reasonable weight ranges for RPG characters. I'd recommend just barely 'obese' for raw weight, given her musculature.
Edit: that would actually be 191 lbs, so maybe not quite THAT heavy. 160-70 seems reasonable. Edit2: My character can get away with her weight, but she's a legal midget. I'm not kidding, the cutoff is 4' 10. I took those hieght/weight numbers from a girl my sister is friends with, and she had those at age 22. |
Fixed the height weight issue, just remember she's still a growing girl. Also expanded her backstory.

She married Joseph Bishop when she was 22 years old, and at the time of her marriage, both she and her new husband were illiterate.
The couple had at least eight children between 1792 and 1809 in Soham.
In 1809, her son Joseph died aged 12. This was followed in 1817 by a tragic accident that claimed the life of her 14 year old son Robert, who was killed when a large roller went over him at a farm belonging to Mr Slack. The Slack family were Elizabeth's mother's family.
In 1819, a third son, the oldest - William - died aged 27, leaving the family with five surviving children.
Elizabeth appears on three censuses, her last at the age of 91 years in 1861, before her death two months later.

But that doesn't account for the prospects and draft pick. So I'd probably make the trade and be happy with the extra prospects and draft pick.

Dr. Jodi Berger Cardoso and Dr. McClain Sampson Receive Hogg Foundation Grants

"Exposure with response prevention (ERP) is the treatment that forever changed my life, teaching me how to effectively fight my OCD. When engaging in ERP you complete exposures (such as touching a doorknob) and then engage in ritual prevention (no hand wash), working your way gradually from your least challenging exposures to your most challenging exposures until you have control over your OCD."
$2 Million Gift Establishes Endowed Dean's Chair at UH
The endowment income will support the college's research activities, including the establishment of the annual Maconda Brown O'Connor Distinguished Lectureship. Through the lecture, faculty, graduate students, alums and practicing social workers will gain insights and inspiration from globally recognized experts and leading innovators in the field of social work.
GCSW Awarded for International Social Work Efforts
"Any time your program gets recognized, it affirms what you are doing. To receive recognition from one's peer group is even more satisfying in that they know our program and what it's achieving and its impact within the global community," said Ira Colby, dean of the UH GCSW. "Even without the award, the activities that our faculty, staff and students are involved in around the world are impressive."
GCSW Professor Dr. Monit Cheung quoted in USA Today
"Attitudes on child sex abuse began to change after the 1974 law. Before 1974, you could talk to a social worker who could (then) talk to a molester and that could maybe stop abuse," Cheung said, noting that most abuse happens within families. But mandatory reporting made the failure to report suspected abuse a crime. "That's the change, that you're no longer hiding the facts of abuse"

Hamilton W. Howe Oral History Interview (#OH0056), East Carolina Manuscript Collection, J. Y. Joyner Library, East Carolina University, Greenville, North Carolina, USA.
Processed by G. Pritchard, April 1991
Encoded by Apex Data Services
Hamilton W. Howe was born January 15, 1904, in Albert Lea, Minnesota. He graduated from Hyde Park High School in Chicago and then attended the Kenilworth Military School in Illinois, where he received an appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy. After graduating from the Academy in 1926, he went to the Naval War College. During World War II, he commanded the destroyers USS ROPER (1942-1943) and USS EARLE (1942-). Towards the end of the war he was commanding officer of the U.S. Naval Training Center in Miami, Florida. He retired on July 15, 1956 with the rank of rear admiral. He received the Navy Cross, two Bronze Star Medals, the Commendation Ribbon for performance in the invasion of Sicily, and foreign decorations.
In his interview, Howe describes events during his World War II service dealing with anti-submarine warfare off the coast of North Carolina and in convoy duty in the Atlantic Ocean. Howe details his sinking the German submarine U-85 of the 7th U-Boat Flotilla (pp.11-12) while performing North Carolina coastal patrol duties in the ROPER on April 13 and 14, 1942. He also discusses the difficulty of determining whether a submarine has been sunk (p. 14) and with discriminating submarines from the many civilian vessels when searching for submarines during the early days of World War II (p. 16). As an example of this difficulty, Howe relates the incident of an armed guard crew of a U.S. merchantman scoring a hit on the USS DICKERSON (p. 17), mistaking it for an enemy submarine.
Between December 12, 1942, and April 28, 1943, while in command of the EARLE, which was acting as an escort for a convoy of troop and supply ships in the Atlantic Ocean out from Casablanca, Howe talks about his encounter with two unidentified submarines, one Italian (pp. 12-13) and one German (p. 15). He also discusses the effective, late-model radar on the EARLE that twice detected enemy submarines when no other ship was able to do so (pp. 14 & 16). Howe relates his difficulty convincing the commanding officer of the convoy that the EARLE had actually detected something (pp. 14-16).
Included in the interview are two other interesting encounters. In the first, Howe recounts his memory of meeting Lieutenant Richard Barthelmess who, in civilian life, was a silent film star (p. 18). The second is the saving of the survivors of the torpedoed M.S. CITY OF NEW YORK off the Virginia capes while Howe was in command of the ROPER. In this incident he talks further about a baby being born on one of the lifeboats and later being named after the ROPER (pp. 18-20).
The interview also contains a list of forty-eight recommendations for a prospective commanding officer of a destroyer (pp. 1-8). They are aimed at helping the commander avoid pitfalls which might damage either the officer's image or the smooth running of the ship. Many of the recommendations deal with when and where to relax the rules and when to fully enforce them. In a similar vein is included a sample letter for a young man about to enter the Naval Academy, advising him among other things not to be discouraged and to stay out of trouble (pp. 8-10).

(page 2 of 3)
More than two dozen groups and individuals have filed friends-of-court briefs supporting the Town of Greece. They include the federal Department of Justice, which argued for upholding the practice of legislative prayer; members of Congress; 23 state attorneys general, and a group of theologians. Standing out in the list of supporters is Lewin, the lone Jewish voice in support of continuing the town's Christian prayer.
The brief filed by Lewin reads as much like a talmudic discussion as it does a legal argument. Lewin draws on recent-day sages Rabbi Moshe Feinstein and the late Lubavitcher rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson to make the case that Jewish religion and tradition are not opposed to Christian prayer. "Authentic Jewish attitude toward Christian prayer," Lewin wrote, "is encouragement, not condemnation." Lewin also quotes from the books of Genesis, Kings I, Jonah and Isaiah in making the case that Jewish scripture does not include any opposition to non-Jewish prayer.
Another argument presented in Lewin's brief is that the United States Congress itself has long opened its legislative sessions with a religious prayer and that rabbis have been invited numerous times to deliver the prayer. The first such invitation, he noted, was in 1860, to Rabbi Morris Raphall, who appeared before Congress "piously bedecked in a white tallit and a large velvet skullcap."
Lewin is well aware of the fact that he is breaking ranks with the organized Jewish community. In fact, that is one of the reasons he filed his brief. "I'm going against the reflexive unthinking mainstream," he said, referring to major Jewish organizations. "People say. 'Oh, God, there's a prayer that says something Christian, so we should oppose it.'"
Lewin, who is 76 and shares a Washington practice with his daughter Alyza, has been at the forefront of church and state battles for decades, always representing a school of thought closer to that of the Orthodox minority in the Jewish community — one that, in general, is more willing to challenge the definition of church and state separation.
A former clerk for Supreme Court justice John Harlan, and a lawyer in Robert F. Kennedy's Department of Justice, Lewin, whose father was a senior figure in the ultra-Orthodox group Agudath Israel of America, has long taken on legal issues relating to Jews and to the Orthodox Jewish community in particular. In 1989 he successfully argued the case of County of Allegheny v. American Civil Liberties Union, in which Chabad of Pittsburgh won the right to keep its 18-foot Hanukkah menorah outside the city-county building. (In the same case, the Supreme Court ruled against presentation of the nativity scene in the county courthouse.)
Lewin also represented Sholom Rubashkin, the former head of Agriprocessors kosher meat plant. Rubashkin was sentenced to 27 years in prison for fraud and money laundering. Lewin called the court decision "the greatest injustice" he has seen in 50 years of practicing law.
More recently, Lewin suffered a loss when the court rejected his attempts to force the Obama administration to register Israel as the birthplace of Americans born in Jerusalem.
As Lewin and other supporters of legislative prayer prepare their court filings in advance of the Town of Greece hearing, opponents, many of them from the organized Jewish community, are rallying their forces against them.
