Today I'm re-posting one of my more popular blurbs about saving money week by week. We did this in 2014 & filled it up! By August, we cashed out our jar & used the money on a much needed vacation. I've already jump-started 2015's jar with leftover Christmas money. This is one of the simplest things you can do to save that really makes a difference to your bottom line.
One of my money-saving strategies is to do the 52 week money saving challenge for
2014 2015. That's $1,378! Only, I'm kind of hoping to do it twice (something I didn't get done in 2014). I want to have some cash put back for emergenices as well as cash for things that I know we'll need to save for like church camp, sports camps, & birthday celebrations.
I jump-started my 52 week savings by putting some Christmas cash in a jar. Then I found some more cash while cleaning out the purse I used while Christmas shopping. Instead of keeping that money to spend, I threw it in the jar. I googled "52 week money challenge" & clicked on the image link to print off my initial chart. Instead of working the chart in order (Week 1=$1, Week 2=$2, etc.), I have chosen to put the larger amounts in first & balance that with smaller deposits during the month. Doing it this way, I'm not stuck putting in over $200 at one time in Weeks 49-52.
In order to customize tracking my deposits, I wanted a spreadsheet on the computer. I couldn't find an excel spreadsheet readily available, so I followed some instructions on YouTube & did my own. For 2015, I simplified. No spreadsheet. I just wrote down the numbers 1-52 & put an "x" over the number that I deposit into the jar. For example, I recently put $62 in the jar. I "x'd" the numbers 52 & 10. Then further on the page, I wrote my balance, just like you would in a check book. This way I don't need to print anything nor do I have to get on the computer to document my balance. I just scribble it down & go!
Here's the YouTube link I used: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KljyIjH71Ng
Click 52 week $ challenge for my version of a 52 week spreadsheet. When you open it, you will need to click "Enable Editing." Initially I wanted to use check-boxes to track my progress on paper, but this didn't look right to me when viewing the spreadsheet on the computer. So, I change my checkboxes to "yes's" as I update on the computer . You can always switch back to the checkboxes by clicking the cell you want, going to "Symbols", select Geometric Shapes, & select the checkbox icon. You will also see the last formula I typed in in cell F11. Follow the addition pattern in order to customize your deposit amounts.
I hope this will help you save some cash in
2014 2015!

No specific antidote for cyclophosphamide is known.
Overdosage should be managed with supportive measures, including appropriate treatment for any concurrent infection, myelosuppression, or cardiac toxicity should it occur.
Serious consequences of overdosage include manifestations of dose dependent toxicities such as myelosuppression, urotoxicity, cardiotoxicity (including cardiac failure), veno-occlusive hepatic disease, and stomatitis [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
Patients who received an overdose should be closely monitored for the development of toxicities, and hematologic toxicity in particular.
Cytoxan (cyclophosphamide) and its metabolites are dialyzable. Therefore, rapid hemodialysis is indicated when treating any suicidal or accidental overdose or intoxication.
Cystitis prophylaxis with mesna may be helpful in preventing or limiting urotoxic effects with cyclophosphamide overdose.
- Hypersensitivity
Cyclophosphamide is contraindicated in patients who have a history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to it, any of its metabolites, or to other components of the product. Anaphylactic reactions including death have been reported with cyclophosphamide. Possible cross-sensitivity with other alkylating agents can occur.
- Urinary Outflow Obstruction
Cyclophosphamide is contraindicated in patients with urinary outflow obstruction [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

ST. LOUIS -- It took a crucial stop by the Rams' beleaguered defense and Marc Bulger being nearly perfect on the winning drive to halt St. Louis' five-game losing streak.
The Rams (5-6) broke another team's heart for a change on Bulger's 5-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Curtis with 27 seconds to go for a 20-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Twice during the skid they lost in the final minute.
"We needed to win in the worst way," Curtis said. "To come out of there and score when we need to gives us a lot of hope for the rest of the season."
San Francisco (5-6) totaled 171 yards rushing against the NFL's worst defense against the run, including 134 yards on 21 carries by Frank Gore. He's the fifth player in six weeks to top 100 against the Rams, and totaled 261 yards in two games against St. Louis.
Leading 14-13 midway through the fourth quarter, the 49ers marched down the field on a 13-play, 75-yard drive that chewed up more than 7 1-2 minutes and included only one pass. The drive screeched to a halt at the 7 when Michael Robinson was stopped for no gain on third-and-1 by Brandon Chillar and Raonall Smith, forcing a 24-yard field goal by Joe Nedney with 3:54 to go.
"That was a big moment," Rams middle linebacker Will Witherspoon said. "That was a game-changing moment."
Gore was not in the game for the big carry after rolling his right ankle four plays earlier, an injury coach Mike Nolan described as a bruise. He was taken for X-rays after the game and again before the 49ers left town.
Before leaving for the second set of X-rays, Gore said Robinson, the 49ers' short-yardage back, would have gotten the third-down call in any case.
"I would have played it, but Mike does the short yardage," Gore said.
Nolan wouldn't second-guess his decision not to go for the first down.
"I thought about it at the time, running it hard, but we're on the road," Nolan said. "Make it a touchdown game. I wouldn't change anything."
Stymied much of the game, Bulger was 9-for-9 for 66 yards during a 12-play, 80-yard drive for the winning score. He finished 23-for-34 for 201 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
Bulger was sacked twice, a big improvement after absorbing 11 sacks the previous two weeks. The Rams have a makeshift line featuring three replacements.
"He's a little sore from the last couple of weeks," guard Adam Timmerman said. "You've just got to keep him clean. That gives him more confidence to sit back there and make the throws."
The 49ers missed a chance to keep pressure on first-place Seattle in the NFC West. San Francisco had won three straight.
"This is a game we felt that we should have won," defensive end Bryant Young said. "But when you allow teams to stick around, they're not going to lay down."
Both of St. Louis' last-minute losses during the slump came against Seattle. This time, safety Oshiomogo Atogwe intercepted a desperation pass by Alex Smith and ran out the clock.
Gore, who has four 100-yard games in the last five weeks, had 40 yards on five carries in the 49ers' final drive. He also produced the 49ers' lone highlight of the first half, a 12-yard scoring run in which he powered through Atogwe at the 2.
Steven Jackson was just as impressive for the Rams, who returned to basics after a 15-0 loss to the Panthers when they called 41 pass plays and only eight runs.
Jackson, limited to 27 yards, had 121 yards on 23 carries, with a 36-yard scoring run in the first half. He had two carries for 10 yards and four catches for 25 yards on the winning drive to help the Rams beat a resurgent San Francisco defense that had allowed only 30 points in the last 3 1/2 games.
Curtis had three catches for 41 yards, but made big plays at the finish of each half. He found a seam in the 49ers' zone for the winner, and his 27-yard reception set up Jeff Wilkins' 51-yard field goal on the final play of the first half that put the Rams ahead 13-7.
Curtis fell down after catching a low throw from Gus Frerotte, who came in after Bulger got the wind knocked out of him on a hit by Young. But Curtis was untouched, got up and ran for several more yards before going out of bounds.
The losing streak was the Rams' longest since an eight-game skid in 1997. They also snapped a three-game losing streak against the 49ers.
- Torry Holt was held to four catches for 30 yards for the Rams, but passed Jerry Rice for the most yards receiving in the first eight seasons. Holt has 10,282 yards, 9 more than Rice.
- Tye Hill intercepted his third pass, tied for the NFL rookie lead, for St. Louis, but left in the second half with a quadriceps injury.
- Antonio Bryant, whose status was not affected by an arrest on charges of reckless and drunken driving last week, had two catches for 53 yards. They came on consecutive plays on the 49ers' lone scoring drive of the first half.

Drugs make my bipolar mom a shell of herself. She says it's worth it.
Extremely medicated mom: My mom has struggled with intense bipolar disorder for most of her life. She attempted suicide twice and has been hospitalized 3 times. For the past 3 years or so, medication has stabilized her moods, but at what appears to me to be a heavy cost. She's dulled and flattened to the point that she seems like only a small fraction of the person she was. It's hard for me to see her this way, but I don't know what I can do. [more inside]

Anxious about anxiety and anxiolytics...
I am on my way to an appointment tomorrow because I would like to do something about anxiety or stress response or whatever you'd like to call it. I am familiar with a lot of different anti-anxiety meds from my schoolwork, as well as things used off label.

OK to stop Lexapro after one dose?
I was just prescribed Xanax 0.5 mg, 3x daily and Lexapro 10 mg. once a day for major anxiety and sleeplessness. Took only the Xanax for 2 days and felt markedly better. Slept well, and the pounding heartbeat and breathlessness were gone. Added the Lexapro today and am feeling exhausted. I took a nap at 10:00 in the morning!. Called my MD, haven't heard back yet. Question is if I don't hear back by tomorrow morning is there a problem with stopping the Lexapro and just keeing up with the Xanax until (probably) Monday when I can get in touch with the doc?

I used to shoot 35mm, 100% of the time. I had a F3, two F4's and F5, the fastest f/1.4 and f/2.8 glass I could afford. Then one day I bought an RZ67 on impulse with a 80mm/2.8 and 120 back. After my first roll of Kodachrome came back I was amazed at the detail and tonality that I could never dream of achieving with my Nikon system. All my films felt like they were alive, Velvia 50 was incredible, even TMax 3200 didn't seem grainy anymore, it took on a totally different look.
Needless to say I recently bought a Mamiya 645 Pro to replace my 35mm cameras I take on trips and vacations, and now my Nikon equipment is gathering dust in my closet, among them are some expensive Nikon pro zooms, now I carry a basic 55mm, 80mm and 150mm 3-lens kit.
Also with only 10 or 15 shots per roll, you slow down and take your time, which is always nice.

Real Name
John Aprigliano
John "Smarty" Aprigliano was born on August 17, 1991 and is currently living in Ronkonkoma, NY. He currently has a partnership with machinima.com making an online web series known asThe Bob and Phil Show. Episode 4 of the show happened to have made the June 19th, 2009 edition of the Best of Blogs.
Originally making his debut on youtube in 2006 making very poor machinimas, John soon decided to take a long hiatus and think of ways to get himself known on the internet. But alas he gave up...Until HALO 3 was released. John decided to make one last attempt at making a machinima and wrote a small video called Don't Die on Me for a comedy contest. suprisingly people started to like it, and he decided to get back into the machinima game. A couple of years later, he was contacted by machinima.com with a partnership offer. He accepted and has been making episodes ever since. As of late, Smarty is focusing on his halo reach machinima series "Jack Walters: Superhero" which is a parody of the superhero genre of machinima. Other than that, he has also been focusing on his horror game let's plays, and video game commentaries for Machinima Respawn, the gameplay channel of the Machinima Inc.
How he found TGWTG
John was one day searching through cinemassacre.com when he had discovered the angry video game nerd's review of Ricky 1 as a retaliation to the Nostalgia Critic's challenge to review a horrible nostalgic movie. He then found the Nostalgia Critic's review of "pokemon: the first movie" He then watched as much as he could of the 5 second movies and some of thatdudeinthesuede's work. He was hooked ever since.
The Machinimist
Smarty also runs a review show called "The Machinimist" where he discusses various issues within the machinima community, Primarily consists of top 5 lists, and negative reviews.
The Wiki
As of May 5th, 2010, Smarty became Exalted Grandiose Poobaa Extraordinaire in charge of administrating the wiki's running gags pages the third Esquire. of the wiki's Running Gags pages. On December 10, 2010, Smarty left the wiki due to personal reasons, and gave his "Grandiose Pooba of Running gags" status to Mark Norris.
Blistered Thumbs
In March, 2011 Smarty and his show, The Machinimist became part of the ever growing blistered Thumbs family. After Blistered Thumbs was taken down, his videos were put back up on TGWTG.com. On March 6th, 2015, a video was posted detailing Smarty's departure from the site to focus on his YouTube channel.

1. Re: display lov valueRamesh P, Oracle APEX Developer Feb 22, 2013 8:46 AM (in response to Spooky)Hi,
You can have your select to return the same display value,
Ex: SELECT column1 AS dispaly_value, column1 AS return_value FROM tablex;
Dynamic Action: Onchange event of the item, condition: value equals: case1;
it should do the job.
You can use a computation on page submit, to calculate the actual return value of your select list
2. Re: display lov valueVC Feb 22, 2013 8:59 AM (in response to Spooky)Create a dynamic action as Event: On Chnage of PX_ITEM_NAME and make it conditional using below syntax
Condition: JavaScript Expression
Value as below
$('#PX_ITEM_NAME').find(":selected").text() =='test' /or $("#PX_ITEM_NAME :selected").text() =='test'
4. Re: display lov valueVC Feb 22, 2013 9:53 AM (in response to Spooky)setup an example on apex.oracle.com

What If It All Went Nu?

Re: What If It All Went Nu?
We don't have too much to work with, hopefully
Star Trek Into Darkness
will help change that, but I'll give it a try.
TNG: Some version of TNG probably happens. The Enterprise might look different and might even be more advanced but most of it should still be the same. The parts that could be different are the stories that involve the Klingons and the Romulans (depending on what the new films do with them) and the Borg, if they happen to appear earlier. In the new timeline there might not have been a battle at Nerendra III, depending upon how different the political situation is, and the "C" might've stayed in service right up until the "D" was commissioned.
DS9: The Prophets live in the past, present, and future. They're immune to changes in the timeline because they exist in all points everywhen. If linear reality changes around them, they'd still become instantly aware of what will happen because they're already there and they'll immediately have a new plan. Sisko would still exist or, if not, someone else from Earth -- or anywhere not of Bajor -- would still be created with the help of the Prophets. Said person will still go through a set of circumstances leading them to Bajor. Whether or not Wolf 359 would be what leads to it would be hard to say.
VOY: Would be the least affected. The Delta Quadrant is away from everything else that has happened, is happening, or will happen in the rest of Star Trek. At least until Starfleet is advanced enough to reach that quadrant on its own. For the sake of argument, let's say it wouldn't happen until a century after the series is set, as Q said in "Deathwish". I doubt New Trek will touch the Cardassians, so the Maquis situation wouldn't change.

Rob Ryan: 'If you don't think I improved that Cowboys defense, you're [expletive] crazy'
You knew it was going to happen. There was no way an outspoken guy like Rob Ryan was going to go all season without saying something about his time in Dallas.
Ryan coached the Cowboys defense the last two years but was fired in January and replaced by Monte Kiffin. Consecutive 8-8 seasons wasn't cutting it, so Jerry Jones and company felt they needed to change something. Firing Ryan was the most significant adjustment.
And although Ryan told USA Today's Jim Corbett that "there's no bitterness," the current New Orleans Saints coordinator isn't shy about saying that he helped the Cowboys improve during the two seasons when he was on the payroll.
"My time might have been short, but if you don't think I improved that Cowboys defense, you're [expletive] crazy," Ryan told Corbett.
Day 15 observations from Dallas Cowboys training camp practice: DT Jason Hatcher has two sacks; rookie TE Gavin Escobar has day to forget
Cowboys CB B.W. Webb looking for redemption after bad game against Oakland
Rob Ryan: 'If you don't think I improved that Cowboys defense, you're [expletive] crazy'
In Ryan's defense, the Cowboys were better statistically than the year before he landed in Dallas.
In 2010, the Cowboys finished 31st in points allowed (27.3 per game) and 23rd in yards allowed (351.8). In Ryan's first season with the team, Dallas finished 16th in points allowed (21.7) and 14th in yards allowed (343.2).
While those stats slipped in 2012 – 24th in points allowed (25.0) and 19th in yards allowed (355.4) – they were still better than 2010.
However, the Cowboys felt Ryan's defense had too much scheme, which on several occasions, led to players being out of position and confusion while substitutions were being made from the sidelines. His unit also struggled to create turnovers.
Kiffin was hired to provide the opposite, a scheme designed to be more simplistic and proven effective in creating turnovers.
"There's no bitterness at all because I was fortunate enough to be part of a historic franchise," Ryan told Corbett. "And I was fortunate enough to be around some great players."
Ryan also referenced his time with the Cowboys in a Monday interview with FoxSportsSouthwest.com's Jennifer Hale. While discussing the injury issues with the Saints, Ryan had, well, a very typical Rob Ryan response.
"I'll be honest with you: these injuries – they're outstanding players, but hell, that's nothing compared to what I've been used to," Ryan said. "I'm used to a whole team being hurt, and then getting fired because of it, so whatever."
Last season, Cowboys defensive starters Barry Church, Kenyon Coleman, Jay Ratliff, Bruce Carter and Sean Lee all had their seasons cut short due to injuries. All-Pro pass-rusher DeMarcus Ware also played through multiple injuries despite not missing a start.

Articles or graphics on the front and/or editorial pages of newspapers appearing on ten sampled dates before and immediately after the November 1974 congressional election were coded for this study. There are 8,768 cases of front page data and 9,504 cases of editorial page data. Each case is coded with a unit of analysis that could be any combination of story text, headline, sub-headline, label, photograph, and drawing or cartoon. Information collected about each case includes specific newspaper, date, page, type of story or photo, and source of item. In terms of content, both a first and a second problem are identified (specific problems are classified in several major categories, e.g., social welfare, agricultural, natural resources, labor union/management, racial, public order, economic and business, consumer protection, foreign affairs, national defense, government function, and Watergate) along with corresponding descriptive information in both their first and second mentions. Examples of such content description are level of problem (e.g., international with no United States connection explicit, international with United States connection explicit, national, state, and local), person or actor dimension (e.g., President Ford, specific political parties, Democratic and Republican Senate candidates, specific areas of government, specific government agencies and groups, and voters or taxpayers in general), position of person or actor, agreement or disagreement between persons or actors, the first and second mention of criticism or praise dimension, and object of criticism or praise. Additional data collected for this content analysis include keywords (referring to a major news event), proposal method (references to any proposed or enacted method, program, or policy to deal with governmental, political, or social problems in the United States), editorial endorsement of a candidate by the newspaper (coded in categories such as experience, leadership ability, personal qualities, party connection, government management, government philosophy, and domestic and foreign policies), references to Democratic and Republican senatorial races, and references to these specific events: the textbook struggle in West Virginia, busing in Boston, cattle killing, Nixon's resignation, Nixon's pardon, Nixon's illness, the mastectomies, Watergate trial, Kissinger's Moscow trip, United Nations World Food Conference, Arab and PLO summit conference, Rockefeller nomination, coal strike, and Patty Hearst.

This topic contains 11 replies, has 3 voices, and was last updated by cdils 2 years, 8 months ago.
April 2, 2013 at 2:56 pm #32715
Good day all,
I'm presently working with the Balance theme and would like to add the same 'dark' area (for lack of better words) below the Navigation bar and the content…Here's a link, which I think will better explain what I am trying to do. http://www.carriedils.com/
I tried to install this feature over the weekend, and cannot figure it out. I have also installed the Extender plugin, which has been great for other features, and was wondering if this plugin may help with something of the sort?
Obviously, this has to do with coding, which I'm not figuring out at the moment!
Any help would be much appreciated.
ThanksApril 2, 2013 at 3:27 pm #32726
do you have a link to your site?
April 2, 2013 at 3:42 pm #32728
Good day Ozzy,
Here is the link to the website – http://businessstartupqueens.com/
Thanks -April 2, 2013 at 3:45 pm #32730
Hey Chris,
It's essentially a widget area (or actually multiple widget areas) that are conditionally called in based on the page you're on. I'll write up a quick tutorial and get back to you – unless Ozzy beats me to it.
Have you been helped in this forum? Pay it forward and answer someone else's question. I bet you'll know the answer to at least one question.
I host a weekly WordPress-focused podcast called Office Hours. I tweet @cdils.April 2, 2013 at 3:50 pm #32731
I must have spent over 3 hours yesterday trying to figure this out – Even tried with the Extender plugin, but to no avail. From what I understand, it has to do with the #inner div? Maybe…?
Will wait for your answers – both of you are the best – Many thanks!
ChrisApril 2, 2013 at 4:09 pm #32737
hi chris!
are you trying to use just a dark color instead of the grey pattern in the featured area and footer section or something else?
April 2, 2013 at 4:18 pm #32740
Hi Ozzy,
I'm trying to bring in a 'dark area' or design that will be situated between the Navigation Bar and the Content. Here's another example:
As you can see, Carrie has this 'black box' on all pages – with different widgets added – which I think looks great, and for sure, want to do the same thing in a different color!
Thanks for your time!
ChrisApril 2, 2013 at 4:27 pm #32744
ahh… yes. it's probably better explained in a tutorial, which i think Carrie is working on.
you can set up widget areas and then call them based on the page using is_page or is_post conditionals. i'm sure she'll explain it all wonderfully!
April 2, 2013 at 4:32 pm #32745
Hi Ozzy,
I've installed the Extender plugin so I get the "is_page or is_post conditionals" (well, starting to!) – What I'm not understanding is how a Widget would bring in the background color…
Like I said, I'm learning, and will most probably have a Duh moment when I see the response!
ChrisApril 2, 2013 at 5:15 pm #32747
Ok, I didn't even get a chance to proof-read, so excuse any weirdness!
That covers the basics of how I did what I did, but if you're still having trouble with the style aspects, just let me know and I can help you figure it out.
p.s. Ozzy rocks.

Hi Carrie,
First, many thanks for putting the explanation together in regards to your design!
I've racked my brains all last evening trying to figure it out, only to realize that I was losing more time messing around trying to be a 'know it all' versus asking a simple question, and, (I am so lucky) receiving a more than fantastic answer!
You know what, when I posted on this forum, and you answered earlier, I never 'clicked' that I was taking to the same person…that I was commenting on (link to your website) in a previous post!!
So much for paying attention!
Another thing – I also posted on your website under the post: The Weekend Redesign Challenge – asking you how you created the design in question!
OK, I'm off to figure this out –
By the way, You Rock girl!
Many thanks from the Laurentians – North of Montreal, Quebec
ChrisApril 2, 2013 at 8:35 pm #32770

He'll grow up to be just like all the other Yugioh bishies! It was also cute how Seto was being all mopey and staying near the phone. He should just get over his pride and call Jou!

::shakes head:: Wow, I was going to say something along the lines of "That's just one of those nights where..." and then I saw your title. Very appropriate. I really liked this, though. It was quirky and weird (no offense) and very much up my alley.
Seto... what are we going to do with you? ::rolls eyes:: This was funny. I very much liked it. _
| Suppis Tenshi chapter 1 . 8/28/2004
just plain weird...
Poor Mokuba...I pity him.
A little different, just the way I like!
| radiany chapter 1 . 8/28/2004
"Noa smirked..."
I don't know. After the Noah Arc, I can't see him smirking too well. More like smiling.
I really don't know which one's scarier. Or more fitting.
Anyway, that was strange *lol*. Funny, but strange. When I first saw the summary, I sputtered, because I've never seen one - but now that I have, it's an interesting thought *snick*.
My apologies, misura, but I didn't really like this. It seemed unfinished - hanging. Perhaps you could try again?
| Alana-kittychan chapter 1 . 8/28/2004
Alana: aw Cute!
Leo: UpDate!
| Rikkeh chapter 1 . 8/28/2004
Typical Seto...of COURSE he doesn't care that Joey didn't phone...despite him sitting by the phone and moaning about it. Some ppl are SO stubborn. And poor lonely Mokie too...update and give him some lovin! XD
| Somnia Lustre chapter 1 . 8/27/2004
Poor Mokuba... I feel so sorry for him, the mini-stud.
As for Seto, he should have listened to his brother, and took his advice before dishing his own.
Great story.
| Amarin Rose chapter 1 . 8/27/2004
That was...random. Interesting, though.

Derek Jeter will miss the rest of the postseason after fracturing his left ankle in the 12th inning of the New York Yankees' 6-4 loss to the Detroit Tigers in Game 1 of the ALCS on Saturday night at Yankee Stadium.
"His ankle fractured, he's out ... he's out," Yankees manager Joe Girardi told reporters after the game. "They talked about a three-month recovery period. It won't jeopardize his career, but he will not be playing any more for us this year."Jhonny Peralta. He stumbled and fell to the ground while screaming out in pain. He needed assistance off the field as a stunned Yankee Stadium crowd looked on in silence.

It goes without saying, but this is a huge loss for the Yankees and their chances. Jeter went 1 for 5 with two strikeouts on Saturday night, but he's been one of the few reliable options on the Yankees roster this postseason, hitting .364 against the Baltimore Orioles in the ALDS.
Make sure all your bases are covered this postseason ...

text: I had the camera on the tripod and was about to trip the shutter. This guy walks up and stands right in front of the camera and asks "Is that a Hasselbald?" He's standing there looking at the camera that has YASHICA, in bold, right on the front. Right above the twin lens. I said something like, if you stand over here to the side you'll catch the light glinting off the name above the lens. He actually moved and looked closer. I got the shot and told him it was a Yashica C made around 1958. The next I saw coming from a mile away. "Is that one of those 3-D/STEREO cameras?" He then proceeded to tell me all about his new digicam (circa 2004) and all the great things it can do. So I had to ask, Can it shoot in 3-D too? :rolleyes:

Actually I find the Hitchens' rant you posted not one of his best moments ...impressive and shocking in its way, but rather one dimensional too. Have you read his book 'God is not Great'; it is a much more balanced account, full of polemic (his dismantling of the mother Theresa myth is masterful), but also very witty, erudite and actually full of humanity too.
You ask what alternative Hitchens offers. Well the trick is to accept that the alternative is that there is no alternative and no need for an alternative. We are what we are, here and now, we come from nothing and we go to nothing and if we all spent more effort making the most of that amazing situation we find ourselves in, the world would likely be a better place. Actually, for me at least, it is a form of letting go and liberation that perhaps a Buddhist would recognise (an irony that I am sure did not escape Mr Hitchens).
In God Is Not Great he explains his vision
'Above all, we are in need of a renewed Enlightenment, which will base itself on the proposition that the proper study of mankind is man and woman [referencing Alexander Pope]. This Enlightenment will not need to depend, like its predecessors, on the heroic breakthroughs of a few gifted and exceptionally courageous people. It is within the compass of the average person. The study of literature and poetry, both for its own sake and for the eternal ethical questions with which it deals, can now easily depose the scrutiny of sacred texts that have been found to be corrupt and confected. The pursuit of unfettered scientific inquiry, and the availability of new findings to masses of people by electronic means, will revolutionize our concepts of research and development. Very importantly, the divorce between the sexual life and fear, and the sexual life and disease, and the sexual life and tyranny, can now at last be attempted, on the sole condition that we banish all religions from the discourse. And all this and more is, for the first time in our history, within the reach if not the grasp of everyone.'
a further musing, if i may...
i'd be interested to hear from fellow Hitch admirers, their opinion on this trend of condemnation and negative association as opposed to offering alternatives and a dedication to them.
there seems in my mind, an almost pathological obsession with nay-saying and critique; these issues must be addressed of course, but why relegate one's self to a sideline of commentary rather than pro-activity?
i greatly admire Hitchens on many levels, and Stephen Fry's comments are also close to my heart. but, like Zappa was wont to do, it seems that a constant, almost obsessive buffeting of where others are going wrong; an intellectual wallowing in quicksand, that ultimately, offers forth no possible road map to a more agreeable state, is the preferred option.
wouldn't time have been better spent positing a more agreeable course?
this may well read like a mighty contradiction, and a frankly hypocritical idea from someone who has ranted and rained down scorn in the past; i hold up my hands. but, by passionately arguing for the removal of religious intrusion into the lives of the nonplussed, surely a debate equivalent to a literary roundabout is the only outcome.
why not concentrate on something positive? why not dedicate one's life to a "better choice"?
handsomely paid intellectual discussion, the equivalent of a Linus blanket; an enveloping warmth of fire-side safety-chat that is a lot easier to indulge in than a hoisting of the sleeves. the comfortable refuge of the "educated"?
i'm not sure.
i AM a fan. but i get tired of the apparent absolving of the commentator. a verbal jerk-off.
maybe i commit the same "crime". maybe it's all healthy. maybe i'm still wrestling.
anyone the patience to comment out there?
i take my bows, TL!!! you're very kind!
i do think the points raised in the speeches are incredibly pertinent; they are things that must be addressed, i feel, by anyone claiming to be a "Catholic".
i believe that many people would be horrified if it was their boss or mother or father that behaved in a particular way and spoke loudly and with self-justification and took it upon themselves to claim they were speaking on your behalf; people wouldn't stand for it and rightly so.
but it seems that the Church, as an organisation, is allowed to behave in this manner. how come? that isn't a self-righteous remark, it's what happens, isn't it?
i do believe that any religion should have the same warnings and restrictions that hallucinogenic plants endure. and natural let us not forget, these are NATURAL plants; if everything on earth was placed here by God, then they were put here for a reason also.
both are dangerous, both can be abused, both can lead to enlightenment and comfort and safety and compassion and love. but they are the same.
a quick mention of Terence McKenna's wonderful "Food Of The God's" book is important here.
me personally? i'm only interested in whether people are Kynd or not. that is only what concerns me. i don't lay the blame for systematic torture, abuse and death at the feet of every Christian folk. something as futile and pathetic as treating every German as a fully paid up member of the nazi party and complicit in the holocaust. utter nonsense i think you'd agree.
i encourage as many world views and opinions and beliefs and faiths as possible. none of us know what the answers are. so it means we're the same. i hope both sides of the argument take note.
and yes, Mr. Pid, a topic for philosophical discussion would be a good addition.
possible suggestions for a title could be:
Islam or Isn'tlam?
Our Führer, who art in Heaven
McDonalds or Burka King?
"I can't believe it's not Buddha!"
Jeezy-Chreezy Lemon-Squeezy
Allah Rama Ding Dong

Sikh And Destroy
Sokka Cack-eye Ate My Hamster

"The Pope, a Black and a Jew walk into a Bar..."
Christ Christ Baby, doo doo doo doo-do-do-doo-doo
"He's not the Messiah, he's a VERY NAUGHTY BOY!"
whatever gets us through this complicated and sometimes scary life, i say.
peace to all.
well, far be it from me to be a tease...
your wishes are my command.
however, contrary to posts that've been misinterpreted before, this video (in my opinion) is not intended to denounce religion or claim there is no God.
i do believe there is a God, but not necessarily in the popular form so worshipped today.
there is no doubt that many working in various religions around the world are selfless, honest and do more for humankind that either i, or very possibly, you, the good people on the forums.
i do feel that if the Catholic Church were to really listen to what Mr. Fry & Mr. Hitchens had to say, and offer the kind of apologies that we would be so quick to give, then the world would be a better place.
this is in no way intended to poke fun or belittle people's faith. these videos deal with facts that desperately need addressing. i think any moral, right-minded person would agree.
i'm not an atheist and never will be. i'm not an "anything".

The Intelligence² Debate - Stephen Fry (Unedited) by Xrunner17
please everyone think clearly before ripping it apart.
i can see no reason why science and spirituality aren't the very best of bedfellows.
let us remember that by only focusing on "intelligence" , one can be just as guilty and blinkered as another party.

Anyone else got an idea?
Obviously the blurb should indicate that all points of view are fair game, discussion encouraged, but flaming, hate speech and ad hominem attacks, no.
if such a place existed, what would you call it?
You mean I'm the only one who actually got to see it? Cogent, eloquent and quite pointed, as usual. Any chance our good friend The Pancake Man might be persuaded to provide the URL via PM to anyone requesting it? Nudge, nudge...
I was contemplating posting here after viewing, but then remembered that I tend to not contribute to this thread for very much the same reason as I don't use lavatories bearing the sign, "Women." People who find value in Religion and Spirituality deserve to have a place where they can discuss those issues in an unmolested way.
I don't know if there's much demand for it, but perhaps another thread for more general philosophy would be an appropriate place for those who have no use for Religion and don't mind saying so. Yes, I know it smacks of the ugly "separate but equal" thing, but also provides a modicum of respect to both the pro- and anti- camps.
Now, which way is it to the Gents?
Going to save the video to watch later...gone!
But as I'm in Mr. Badger's camp, it likely was preaching to the choir. Ouch! I couldn't come up with a different, somewhat less loaded, cliche after that one got in my head.
Actually, I tuned back in expecting a firestorm...not disappointed, much.
aloha from limbo (betwixt and between London & Yokohama)!!!
yes, even though i meant the video as a genuine starting point for discussion, not an argument against, i felt i would have to clarify to whomever commented.
i didn't want to start any long-running back-and-forths; i've learned that no matter how one frames a point of view, this subject will usually be taken too seriously and mis-interpretation will, alas, be inevitable.
a shame as i think Hitchen was less bullish than usual and posed some very pertinent points.
i guess i'm getting too old for confrontation or tiring of explanation. things like this will always be taken out of context.
my life is getting too short....

Just saw it. I'm probably one of the biggest Cap fans out there, and I was completely disappointed. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. It is like the production team got together and asked themselves "How can we make the most forgettable movie ever?"
Are you sure you weren't watching a rerun of the Matt Salinger version?
This movie is superb. Squeaks past Iron Man as my favorite superhero movie ever.
No. The 1990 movie was trash. This was just underwhelming. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either.
The story was pretty thin with several glaring plot holes which broke my suspension of disbelief (for example, we go from Cap, who has not had any true military service yet, saving the POWs to leading armies and telling generals and other officers when to do - when did he become a master strategist?).
There was no sense of immediacy in the movie as I never felt that any of the characters were in any true jeopardy and were, instead, just going through the motions. The green screen effects were a little too
Sky Captain
for a film that was mostly grounded. And the fight scenes were a little to
Batman & Robin
with bodies crazily flying everywhere.
Red Skull was incredibly weak as a character and there really wasn't any personal connection between him and Cap to really make me care about their face-off. That was a big problem, there was little in the story to make me care about what I was seeing.
You go in, might enjoy yourself for the two hours, but then instantly forget it once you leave the theater.
Again, not a bad movie, but not a good one either.

I'm assuming that you have beaten the other two before them. Because for some reason they are harder to find if you haven't beaten the first two. But the King Crabs are in the four corners of the world anytime of the day, if you have a warrior that has whistle I would use it to summon them while you are as close to the corner as you can get. It will be the easiest way to get the king crabs.

General Orders No. 9

- 2:57
- (38075 views)
GENERAL ORDERS NO. 9 Trailer
Description: Awarded for its visionary cinematography, GENERAL ORDERS No. 9 breaks from the constraints of the documentary form as it contemplates the signs of loss and change in the American South. The stunning culmination of over eleven years of work from first time writer-director Robert Persons, GENERAL ORDERS No. 9 marries experimental filmmaking with an accessible, naturalist sensibility to tell the epic story of the clash between nature and man's progress, and reaches a bittersweet reconciliation all its own. Told entirely with images, poetry, and music, GENERAL ORDERS No. 9 is unlike any film you have ever seen. A story of maps, dreams, and prayers, it is one last trip down the rabbit hole before it's paved over.

Thoughts on the CoD Championships 2014maccabi Jan 9, 2014 10:30 AM
As many of you are now no doubt aware this years CoD champs was announced today Activision's Call of Duty Championship, presented by Xbox Brings eSports to the Next Generation.
Since the announcement this morning i've seen quite a few raised eyebrows and quite a few complaints over the way its being run (although it has to be said these mostly seem to be coming from the existing "esport players and their respective fans"...
One of my biggest complaints about last years CoD champs was the way it was organised as to basically exclude the majority of the cod community. Don't get me wrong here I want CoDesports to grow but have always maintained to do so you need to attract more of the regular community ad player base. As ultimately we just end up seeing the same teams over and over with the same players - although saying that there does seem to have been a large switcheroo this week with team rosters.
By removing the qualifying from esport events per se a major hurdle has been overcome for normal community based teams to compete, as qualifying will now be done online albeit via mlg, and lan qualifiers being handled by other esport organisations like Gfinity. Having watched the trailer for the cod champs earlier i did notice there was a big focus on the qualifying was for everyone and i really liked that aspect. So well done Atvi .
Most of the complaints I've seen today seem to be centered on how unfair this is to "pro teams" who aren't being automatically seeded and are being forced to now qualify online. People seem to be upset their favorite team maybe won't qualify with the most often quoted reason as another team may have a lucky win. I am firmly of the opinion there is enough events aimed squarely at the "pro esport players" The CoD champs should be something that is accessible to the entire cod community.Period.
The way things stand atm with online qualifiers this does favor regular players more than "pro players" the flip side of this is once the champs move onto lan the "pro players gain an advantage but herein lies my next issue. I really don't understand why the finals will be played on the xbox one when the qualifying is on 360.. well actually I do as I assume MS insisted on this to promote their new console. What this means is all players will lose their scufs (not a bad thing) and everyone will be forced to use the weird new xbox controller designed for people with small hands - hopefully they will allow kontrol freaks . The ongoing issues with the xbox one with regards to chat and sound is going to throw up issues unless they fix that by then and there's the elephant in the room of the issues with lanning up xbox ones atm.
Another thing I've seen people comment on is preempting people ddos'ing to be honest i cant really see this being a major issue for the actual games i can for the streams though (the nasty under belly of our community) . but even so its quite easy to counter possible ddosin in the online qualifiers by running a secret santa type hosting system for qualifying games. It would've just taken a bit of organizing beforehand .
The only other complaint i've seen alot is the fact there's only eight spaces for NA teams, good, last cod champs favored the NA teams way too much and i think a quarter of the spots being allocated to NA is more than enough.
I just want to leave you all with one thought.. the CoD champs is and should be for the whole community to have an equal chance to enter and maybe win. The only way CodEsports will ever grow is if the events are more accessible to the wider player base, as ultimately there is only so many times you can watch the same teams compete . (and yes i will be rooting for an underdog team to win)
- I will concede I do agree with the best of three round scenario isn't a tad weird and i agree with everyone else that it should be five rounds.
