I've been a gamer almost all my life. I had an Atari 2600 joystick in my hand from the time I learn to sit up, and I've burned through every gaming platform since. Yes, dear internet - my name is Erin, and I'm a nerd.
And like all nerds, I've dreamed that skills I've acquired blasting baddies, head-shotting noobs, and dominating pixels would some day be humanity's only hope for survival...and then I wake up and go back to filling out TPS reports like the corporate monkey I am.
When I was in fourth grade, my parents had a treehouse built for me for my birthday. When it was finally finished, I didn't pretend it was a pirate ship or a secret clubhouse. I grabbed my four giant boxes of cards for Magic: The Gathering, hauled them up the rickety ladder, and proceeded to play with Eric and one of his friends for hours. This was a continuing trend for quite a while, until I foolishly sold my cards to my cousin for a meager $30. That was almost 15 years ago. These days I can legally drink, have sex pretty frequently, and fancy myself to be quite the fun guy.
I admit it, I'm a lifelong "Star Trek" hater. Over the years I've tried to get into "Star Trek" a few times but I don't think I've ever made it all the way through an episode. Not that I minded that much - every geek needs another group of geeks they can look at and feel cool in comparison. If I became a Trekkie there'd be no one left for my scorn but the LARPers.

When using the object_list you can not pass paginate_by in the url
|Reported by:

|Has patch:

|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
In trying to vary the page size in the url, we tried to pass in the paginate_by in the url. The Pagination class does not convert arguements into ints and fails.
This is the documented behaviour however the view would be more generic if this could be varied like this.
This can be reproduced by adding the following to your urls.py
urlpatterns += patterns('django.views.generic.list_detail', (r'^object_list/(?P<paginate_by>[0-9]?)/page(?P<page>[0-9]+)/$', 'object_list', object_list_dict), )
A request to this url will cause the following traceback
====================================================================== ERROR: test_finds_past (regressiontests.views.tests.generic.object_list.ObjectDetailTest) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/dougal/Django/django_src/tests/regressiontests/views/tests/generic/object_list.py", line 17, in test_finds_past response = self.client.get('/views/object_list/%s/page1/' % paginate_by) File "/Users/dougal/Django/django_src/django/test/client.py", line 290, in get response = self.request(**r) File "/Users/dougal/Django/django_src/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 100, in get_response response = callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/Users/dougal/Django/django_src/django/views/generic/list_detail.py", line 60, in object_list page_obj = paginator.page(page_number) File "/Users/dougal/Django/django_src/django/core/paginator.py", line 41, in page if top + self.orphans >= self.count: TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, int found ----------------------------------------------------------------------
the object_list generic view already converts the page argument to an int. It would then make sense to convert paginate_by in the same place in the view

How dare U.S. keep people out of war memorials?
I am sitting here so ticked off I can hardly think straight. My brother and I are Vietnam-era veterans, and my father and several uncles were World War II vets. How dare the government shut memorials? They belong to we the people!
I am looking for new Medicare Advantage insurance for my mother-in-law because her policy is being canceled. My wife and I will be looking next year. By the way, can anyone explain to me why some of the policies are free because the government pays enough to cover the policy?

They are responsible for shutting the government down to get the Affordable Care Act undone. I don't even think the AVA is the real answer to the problem, I think we should have single payer, but it's a step in the right direction at least. But you go on thinking you're a Christian and support the insurance company for not accepting pre-existing conditions, or giving a person with cancer help but if it costs too much and they exceed the cap stopping the care they need and letting them die. I don't know what bible you read but mine says that that is dead wrong. "

Women's Health
Fewer Providers Limit Abortion Access
Jan. 17, 2003 -- Nearly nine in 10 U.S. counties lack an abortion provider. That's only one of several factors that limit Americans' access to abortion, according to a new report.
The study comes from the Alan Guttmacher Institute, a not-for-profit sexual and reproductive health research group. Although the now-independent AGI once was a division of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, anti-abortion groups generally accept its data as accurate.
AGI researchers Stanley K. Henshaw, PhD, and Lawrence B. Finer, PhD, note that the U.S. abortion rate continues to drop. This decline pretty much matches the decline in the number of abortion providers.
"It's difficult to say which causes which," Finer tells WebMD. "One thing that could be behind the decline is fewer unintended pregnancies. Emergency contraception -- that's the morning-after pill -- appears to have played a role in the abortion-rate decline. In the year 2000, women using emergency contraception averted up to 51,000 abortions."
Randall K. O'Bannon, PhD, director of education and research for the National Right to Life Committee, has a different take on the numbers.
"They talk about increased contraceptive use, but over the last 10-15 years a strong abstinence movement began in the U.S.," O'Bannon told WebMD in an October 2002 interview. "Even among women who become pregnant, a smaller percentage of those are aborting their babies. That is not impacted by abstinence or contraception. Women now have a better sense of what the unborn child is like. We have been involved in an educational campaign about telling what is going on in the womb."
Finer notes that though the abortion rate -- the number of abortions per 100,000 women -- has declined, the proportion of U.S. pregnancies that end in abortion remains the same: one in five. This is linked to another statistic: half of all U.S. pregnancies are unintended.
Yet women who want abortions face significant obstacles. Those identified in the AGI study include:
- Providers limit the gestational ages at which they will perform abortions. However, the new report finds that both early and late abortions are increasing.
- The cost of abortion is going up -- and most U.S. women pay directly for abortion care.
- 8% of women must travel more than 100 miles to get an abortion. About 16% travel 50-100 miles.
- Though extreme harassment of abortion seekers has declined, 80% of large abortion clinics face picketing. Up to 28% face more extreme harassment. Though 15% of clinics reported bomb threats in 2000, that's fewer than the 48% that received such threats in 1985.

New office and retail building just the start for town of Prosper north of Dallas
Officials in the Collin County town of Prosper are hoping a new office project is the beginning of a commercial real estate building boom.
On Monday developers will break ground on an office, medical and retail building on Preston Road.
It's not very big – just 12,169 square feet – but Prosper officials say it's just the start.
"We feel we are at the front end of a surge in activity along Preston Road in Prosper," says Robert Winningham, who heads Prosper's economic development efforts. "This building will definitely set a tone for those that follow."
The single-story commercial project was designed by architect Stephen C. Hundley and Raymond Construction is the general contractor. Inwood National Bank provided the construction financing.
"As of right now there is a shortage of office space in Prosper, and this building will address some of that," Winningham said.
Prosper is located 30 miles due north of Dallas on Preston Road. And presently it's home to about 12,000 folks and counting.
Developer Lincoln Property Co. and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones are working on a huge shopping center that will be built at the south entrance to Prosper at Preston and U.S. Highway 380.
It's the first phase of a mixed-use development called the Gates of Prosper that is projected to eventually be valued at about $1 billion.

Building wall collapses in Port Jervis
DAWN J. BENKO/For the Times Herald-Record
A wall collapse on a Front Street building in Port Jervis left an alleyway filled with bricks and metal Thursday. According to Senior Code Enforcement Officer Wayne Kidney, a leaky gutter caused the back wall to fall off 46-48 Front St. Kidney said after repeated freezing and thawing overnight, the weight of the metal fire escape attached to the back wall most likely collapsed it. Business owners discovered the collapse Thursday morning. Kidney said the H&R Block at 50-52 Front St. temporarily will be vacated pending a decision on the damaged building. Kidney said it was in foreclosure and had been vacant for more than a year. The building likely will be razed.

Heritage Bank of Nigeria Starts Account Validation January 29
Business News (Finance) –Heritage Banking Company (Heritage Bank) will on January 29, 2013 begin account validation for customers of Societe Generale Bank of Nigeria (SGBN). The exercise is in line with the terms of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) approval of its banking licence to offer commercial banking services under a Regional Bank status.
In a statement signed by the Group Head, Corporate Affairs, Heritage Banking Company Ltd, Josephine Aligwekwe, the lender said as a preliminary step, the validation exercise for account holders of SGBN will last for four weeks.
Aligwekwe said that with the CBN approval secured, the bank is set to commence operations immediately in conformity with the terms of the licence. "As a first step, the statement said, Heritage Bank would commence from Tuesday, January 29, a four-week exercise aimed at validating the accounts held by customers of the old SGBN,†she said.
According to her, the letter conveying CBN's approval for grant of Banking Licence to HBC titled, 'Re: Application for a Commercial Banking Licence with Regional Authorisation' was dated December 27th, 2012 with reference number FPR/LAD/CON/HBC/02/062, and signed by the CBN Director of Financial Policy and Regulations, Chris O. Chukwu.
She advised all customers of SGBN to look out for announcements in the national dailies detailing the processes and procedures for the account validation exercise.
CBN spokesman, Ugochukwu Okoroafor, had earlier told The Nation that the bank has shown greater capacity to comeback and expressed the regulator's willingness to work with it and facilitate its return to business.
"We will encourage the bank to return to business even if it entails granting it a credit line provided it meets specified terms,†he said. He said corporate governance in the banking system is improving, adding that the lenders will naturally fit into the system.
The operational licence of SGBN was withdrawn by the CBN in 2005 over poor liquidity challenges but was later returned in 2008.-TheNation

From EF! Newswire
Indigenous leaders from the Ecuadorian Amazon and their allies from the Gulf Coast and Canada, including Amazon Watch, Gulf Coast Idle No More, and Tar Sands Blockade, confronted the Ecuadorian government in Houston as it met with oil company executives and investors to auction off a vast swath of pristine tropical rainforest. While Jaime Vargas, president of the Achuar Nationality of Ecuador, and Narcisa Mashienta, a community leader from the Shuar Nationality of Ecuador, attempted to intercept potential investors as they went inside to meet with representatives of the Ecuadorian government, allies rallied outside the Westin Oaks Hotel, holding banners that read "Life is Not Negotiable" and "Solidarity in Struggle".
The oil tender, known as the XI Round, or Ronda Sur Oriente, was met with major protests when launched on November 27th in Quito. The XI Round is comprised of 21 oil blocks–some 10 million acres–of pristine, roadless rainforest that is the titled territory of seven indigenous nationalities. Several companies, including ARCO, ConocoPhillips, Burlington Resources, and CGC (Compania General de Combustibles) attempted to drill in the controversial area but were forced to pull out due to indigenous opposition. Companies have until May 2013 to bid on the blocks.
Mr. Vargas and Ms. Mashienta will be in Houston until Thursday attending the NAPE (North America Prospect Expo) conference and speaking to companies and investors about the major opposition and uphill battle any potential bidder would face in pursuing drilling activities.
"As indigenous women, we are mothers, fighters, nurturers of the natural world. We can feel when the earth can no longer reproduce. We are part of the life of the jungle and defenders of the life within it."
-Narcisa Mashienta

Leishmaniasis not only affects people who live in countries where the disease is endemic but also poses a risk to people who travel in those areas. For example, the cutaneous form of the disease is a growing health problem for U.S. soldiers in sand fly-rich Afghanistan and Iraq—where it has been nicknamed the "Baghdad boil." According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 90 percent of all cutaneous leishmaniasis cases occur in Afghanistan, Brazil, Iran, Peru, Saudi Arabia, and Syria.
Though most of the world's cases of visceral leishmaniasis occur in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sudan, and Brazil, the spread of HIV, particularly among intravenous drug users, is bringing this severe disease to new geographical areas. According to WHO, co-infection with HIV and visceral leishmaniasis has been reported in 34 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America. In southern Europe, an estimated 70 percent of adult cases of visceral leishmaniasis are associated with HIV infection.

New London - Despite a committee recommendation that the city not participate in a land value tax pilot program, twice as many people spoke in favor of the program as against it during a three-hour hearing Monday at City Hall.
"Large and small cities are the future. If we're ready to step up to build a resilient city, we should do this,'' said Art Costa, a member of the Land Value Tax Committee and one of 16 people who spoke in favor of the new program.
"It's not a silver bullet,'' he said. "Our problem is systematic and only a systematic solution will fix it."
The Land Value Tax Committee, appointed by the City Council with oversight by the state Office of Policy and Management, spent three months researching and reviewing four possible models for the city to adopt a new tax system based on assessing land rather than buildings.
In a 5-to-4 vote last month the committee opted to stay with the status quo.
A land value tax, or LVT, is supposed to shift the tax burden to the land and not penalize property owners for improving their buildings. Supporters believe the system would help reduce blight and encourage development of brownfields and vacant lots, in part because improvements to the physical condition of buildings would not lead directly to higher taxes.
William Cornish, who lives in the city and owns property downtown, was one of seven who spoke against the proposal. Others included Adam Wronowski of Cross Sound Ferry, Murray Renshaw, a local businessman, and an assessor from Windham whose parents live in New London.
Cornish argued that the city does not need a new taxing program to get rid of blight and attract economic development; it needs to address the dozen to 20 buildings in the city with absentee landlords who have let their buildings fall apart.
"You can't tax us into development if there's no customers,'' he said. "You need to put teeth into a blight ordinance.''
LVT, he said, shifts the tax burden so that less people pay the most taxes.
"It's social engineering,'' he said. "It doesn't belong in New London and it doesn't belong in America."
Those who spoke in favor of it included David Bingham of Salem, a representative of the Southeastern Connecticut Sierra Club. He praised the new tax program as a way to encourage dense development in the city and curb sprawl.
"This is an opportunity for New London to do something big,'' he said. "We want New London to prosper. We don't want thousands fleeing the city."
The City Council is expected to vote on the proposal at a future meeting. If the program is adopted, New London would be the only municipality in the state with land based taxes.
A minority report by the committee has recommended the city implement a pilot program only in a portion of downtown. It also recommended a program to educate the public on the impact of land-value taxation.
But the majority report said large apartment buildings, larger shopping centers and car dealerships would be impacted negatively by LVT.
"Under a majority of the LVT models, the top 250 properties whose taxes would increase are already being put toward uses (commercial or otherwise) that seem to maximize the properties,'' the report states. "The effect of having their taxes increase in order to implement LVT seemed counter-productive."
The committee determined that the city has too many unique parcels and businesses to benefit from any impact that LVT may have.

Phuket Activities
Phuket Kitesurfing
Phuket Sports
Kitesurfing is presently one of the fastest growing extreme sports in Phuket and the island has all it takes to be a popular location for many kitesurf enthusiasts.
Beginners appreciate the shallow waters and gentle breezes of the southeast coast while over at Nai Yang and Layan beaches in northwest Phuket, more practiced kitesurfers really let rip with acrobatic stunts.
Learning to Kitesurf
Kitesurfing is not the sort of sport that one can just grab some gear and head out; indeed it can be dangerous to attempt it without any basic knowledge. There are a few centres in Phuket where you can apply for kitesurfing lessons and you should choose between a one-on-one lesson with an instructor or a shared class – usually two students to one teacher – at a better price.
The centres offering kitesurfing lessons are:
Kite Boarding In Asia Tel: +66 (0) 81-5914594
Kite Thailand Tel: +66 (0) 81-0903730 or +66 (0) 89-9701797)
Where to Learn and Get the Gear
Phuket is probably the best place in Thailand for both new and used equipment. Here are a few names to start with:
KiteBoarding in Asia
Known, as KBA for short, it is home to the official Airush and Cabrinha test centres which means that customer can 'try out the goods' before buying. They also offer a rental service.

So I'm a total noob when it comes to flash photography. I am looking for speedlight that will not break the bank and enough for me to grow into. What do you guys think about the Yongnuo YN-560 II? Should it get this or SB-400? I am using the D5100 and will be taking mainly portraits. Would I need a wireless shutter release control (see link below)?http://www.amazon.com/Yongnuo-Wireless-Trigger-Shutter-Transceiver/dp/B004YW79F4/ref=pd_sim_p_5

I have that flash, it is a completely manual flash. I use it only for my off camera strobist work. If you work in all manual it is fine, but if you want to use the ITTL features, I would get the Nikon flash.

Hi Van,It depends on how comfortable you are using Manual flash mode and Manual exposure mode.Since the Yongnuo yn-560 II appears to be a Manual flash unit.For portraits, I very rarely use a wired or wireless shutter release.Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!

Strobist has a definite preference for manual flash photography. Nothing wrong with that, but some level of automation in the system makes flash photography much more enjoyable and tortures your subjects (family and friends) a little less while you are trying to figure out how to set your flash and camera. My recommendation is that you at least consider a flash with an auto-thyristor circuit so the flash can control output within a given range based on your camera settings. That actually works quite well. The Vivitar 285 fits in that category and is a favorite on strobist.There are other third party dedicated flash units that are compatible with the Nikon CLS system including the Yongnuo 568ex, and they've just released another 500ex. You will spend about $100 more, but you will be glad you did.Recommend, besides Strobist, you read one of Joe McNally's books before you decide what sort of flash system you want to invest in. It my change your cost vs feature evaluations.

Yongnuo has a very mixed reputation. Some of their models have turned out to be great values - and most of the others have turned out to be junk. I frankly do not remember which the 650 II is. If you're after inexpensive flashes, try Nissin or especially Sigma.Since you're new to flash, you almost certainly want one that supports iTTL through-the-lens auto flash exposure, and the 650 is not one of those. The Nissin and Sigma units are.Personally I do not think much of the SB-400 either, particularly for portraits. Portraits demand pretty good control of the light, which means either bounce flash or some sort of modifier such as a diffuser or softbox. I'd look for one that has a head that rotates in two axes (up/down and circular), such as the Nikon SB-700, Sigma EF-610 DG (the 610 DG Super costs a fair bit more; the difference is that it is usable as either a commander or remote in multiple flash setups), or most of the Nissin setups. The problems with the SB-400 are that it doesn't rotate in two axes (only one, up/down), and that it does not have a huge amount of power, so it cannot easily do most bounce flash nor can it shoot through as many modifiers such as softboxes or diffusers.The Nissin and Sigma units (I am more familiar with Nikon and Sigma flashes, personally) demonstrate that you don't need to spend SB-700 money to get good flash. The Nissin Di-466 is about $140 and the Sigma EF-610 DG is about $160.You don't need wireless triggers unless you're going to do multiple flash setups, and even then only if you're in conditions under which you need to do this and infared signals won't work. Mostly the latter means outdoors and either at a considerable distance or in daylight.On the other hand, if you are considering multiple flash setups, you need significantly more capable (and expensive) flash units. In the Nikon line you'd need at least an SB-700, or a Sigma EF-610 DG Super (the Super is the relevant bit here), or the Nissin Di-622. Those all cost $225 or so, except the Nikon at $325.

Hi, Brian.Are you aware of any flashes less expensive than the SB700 that have swivel heads that go 180 degrees in both directions? Thanks.
Visit my Nikonians gallery.
#6. "RE: After market Yongnuo YN-560 II Speedlight" | In response to Reply # 5
My *impression* is that the Sigma goes 180 degrees in both directions, but I don't have one to try it. I'm pretty sure that the previous EF-530 DG Super did not - it was like the SB-600 in that it would go 180 in one direction but only 90 in the other. But I think I've been told that the EF-610 does go 180 degrees in both directions. I have no idea about the Nissins.
#7. "RE: After market Yongnuo YN-560 II Speedlight" | In response to Reply # 6
Hi, Brian.I had checked on the Sigma 610 DG Super on the SIGMA web site, where the specs list 180 one way and 90 the other. So that one is out. The various Metz flashes don't seem to go 180 both ways either. I think one of the went 180 and 120, but that is the closest I have found.

Thank you everyone for your input. It looks like I will have to do a lot more reading before I make any purchases.

Is it wrong that I don't agree with everything Christians are supposed to..
OP, I've been exactly where you are right now in my beliefs. It really took prayer and Bible studying to hike over this hill. I deeply questioned my faith, and the credibility of Christianity as a whole, because I have never ever felt uncomfortable in the presence of homosexuality. I think churches have VASTLY blown this issue out of proportion, and I did honestly grow up to be expected to learn to disagree with it. The more people debated on it though, or looked down on it, the more I began to sympathize for gay people. It felt wrong to think they were wrong! I quickly became fed up with, and I refused to voice my beliefs, because they weren't "Christian".
I remember as a kid, I saw two guys kissing in a soap opera. My mom told me not to watch it, and that God doesn't like it when men fall in love with men, or women with women. I was really confused, because it didn't seem like anything "sinful", it just looked like "love" as I knew it. I didn't see much difference between it and my parents kissing. It was almost like racism to me, I questioned it and just didn't see how people could hate something that seemed so natural. I asked my mom why people would oppress someone of a different ethnicity, and I questioned why anyone would oppress people who liked their same gender. It didn't make sense.
When I was about 16, this became such a hurdle that I almost chucked my faith entirely. I would've claimed to be "agnostic". As it was, I quit going to church. I felt that if one aspect of Christianity was out of whack, and there was so much hate toward one group, that much more could potentially be, and I felt prickly toward the whole congregation.
One day about 2 years later I simply prayed in the shower as I was thinking about it "Lord, if I am wrong about this, please help me understand what I'm missing, I miss feeling close to you." A few days later I had (for lack of a better word) an epiphany. I realized that I AM NOT GOD, and I don't understand everything, and that I don't need to! I don't NEED to make sense of everything, but I do need to accept scripture. It's his tool for us to live by. After that I prayed, hard. I began to grow in Christ rapidly. I realized that I had become bitter and pissy, and that my heart was in a bad state for over 2 years. I pushed God away, because my human soul cannot comprehend everything there is to know, and it was as much of a sin as homosexuality ever could be. I had done myself a huge disservice, and I blocked out my best friend.
Homosexuals are no worse than any one of us. We all have vices, and we all fall into dangerous mental, emotional, and spiritual traps. We harden ourselves against valuable people, and we create stumbling blocks that trap us.
It does no good to try to question everything, and eventually, everything will be revealed to us anyway. I don't personally understand (still!) why homosexuality is wrong, but it doesn't change that the Bible (New Testament) states that is is in fact, a sin. However (like PPs have said) so is lying, cheating, lusting, envying, and multitudes of other sins. We all have our individual walk with God, and it's up to each person to grow in their own faith. We can help exhort others, but it's NOT our job to condemn people and their lifestyles. Christ himself mingled with all kinds of people, and he walked among the most sinful of them all. Condemning anything and excluding others is, in a sense, elevating yourself above them. It's NOT what we're called to do! :)
Take a breather! The beautiful part of salvation is that our sins are covered. And a beautiful part of the gift of God's word, is that we can trust it entirely. We don't have to always over-analyze everything, we just have to trust it and let it work for us. If something isn't acceptable to God, we need to take it literally. We don't however, need to meddle in other peoples' affairs. We do need to love unconditionally, and I believe that means that we need to love dispite sins. The alcoholics we know, the gamblers, the sexually depraved, the greedy, the cheaters, the slanderers...the list goes on for lightyears. And if homosexuality is included, we need to love dispite that too, regardless of if we believe it's a sin or not. We just need to love each other as equals.
Trust that God will handle everything, because he will!
I'm not saying that you've excluded anyone OP, btw. I was just talking in general, and most of these posts have been quite kind. There are still many people out there that aren't so understanding though.
I just think that the Lord wouldn't want us to stress and ruminate over this so much, but he'd want us to trust him and his word.
We have homosexual couples in our church and it is very much accepted. I tend to believe that the homosexual sex in the bible was lustfull and not the homosexual "marriages" that I accept to be as valid as my own marriage. I do stuggle with this as well. Am I trying to justify something that I shouldn't be? I am not sure. I am not sure how God will judge in the end.
Angel baby boy 8/29/2013 at 16 weeks
I agree with willsmom and her beliefs on homosexuality.
OP, I've been where you are. When I'm not sure of something or find myself questioning, I take time to focus on my relationship with God. Instead of worrying about the details, I spend time talking to the Lord or praying. I find that the answers usually come to me then, and sometimes they don't. And when they don't, I usually end up with a peace about it. There are a lot of areas that aren't clearly stated in scripture. They're the heart issues and not salvation ones. God will not send you to hell or punish you for struggling with your beliefs on homosexuality!

Ringler--Because I believe that everyone knowingly sins at least once a day--even if it's just in our heart. Jesus was the only person sin free--so everyday I sin.
Anytime we put something in our mouth that we know is not good for our body--we sin (and now a days we really don't have much choice)
Anytime we get frustrated about the cashier at the store, or the driver in front of us, our husband--we sin
Is it as knowingly and willingly as saying, "God's word tells me not to have sexual relationships with another female"---no, but it's still doing something that we know if we didn't do, our relationship with God would be closer.
I don't think it's consciously--but I think we knowingly do it and willingly (meaning we don't stop ourselves...not meaning "ooh, I'm going to sin today.")
I look at it like my 10 year old daughter. She's 10, for 10 years she's been told to put her dirty clothes in the dirty clothes basket. Some days she does--great, some days she just tosses them as close to the basket as she can. Those days she tosses them as close tot he basket as she can, she disobeyed. Did, she do it consciously--no. Did she do it to disobey--No. But, she still knowingly and willingly disobeyed.
Sometimes sinning isn't just doing something we shouldn't have done--it's not doing something we should have done.
(that may not have clarified it anymore--and unfortuantely I won't be around for a couple of weeks to try to clarify it anymore)
I hadn't noticed 1 Cor 14:34 until now. That will take some digging into. However 1 Cor. 11:13-16 says: 13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. 16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.
so no she does not have to cover her head because her hair is her covering.
Well it's true that we're not saved by confessing w/ our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe w/ our hearts that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9) and being a marriage activist and beliving in a literal six-day creation and...
So no, you're not going to go to hell for having a hard time with the homosexuality issue.
That said, I do believe that we're wrong if we don't trust Scriptural authority. The Bible is God's word, how he communicates w/ us today. Now there are some civil and ceremonial laws given to the Jews in the OT to set them apart, which because of Jesus we are not bound by--we don't have animal sacrifice, we can eat pork, we can wear twill and linen together. But moral laws still apply. Among other sins, homosexual behavior is described as a sin in both OT and NT (1 Corinthians 6:9, 1 Timothy 1:9-11).
I used to have a hard time with certain things too. Homosexuality being one of them. But as I put my trust in God's word, learned what it said, and grew in my faith I realized that I had no right to criticize it. God is God, and I am not. Some of the OT accounts of God wiping out populations that had intermarried with Jews and brought in idolatry...ouch. Those were tough for me too, and at one point in my life I would have thought "Wow, what a horrible God." Now I realize that that is just how seriously he takes the sin of idolatry. Again, He is God--His word goes.
Now, we are not to be hateful. But we are to gently and lovingly rebuke sin...like Jesus with the adulteress in John 8: "Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more." He didn't tell her to keep on sinning, that because he loves her it's ok.
I also don't think that anyone wakes up and decides to be gay--I don't think any of us choose what will tempt us. But we ALWAYS have the choice to resist or to celebrate the temptation. There is actually a pastor in my area who has struggled with same-sex attraction most of his adult life, but because the Bible says homosexual behavior a sin he chooses to be celibate. He denies the idea that he was born that way or that's how God made him. He--like all of us--is a sinner, and by the grace of God is resisting temptation.
I'd encourage you to get into your Bible, and before you read pray that the Holy Spirit leads you to whatever truth He wants to you learn that day. Hope this helps!
2. Not all Christians who disagree with certain behaviors - homosexuality, birth control, name the issue - think its okay to treat others badly.
For me, I have found that my own understanding of my faith - and the way in which my particular faith community worships- has evolved with time. I think asking questions is a good thing. But, I'm from a background (family) that encourages this as a natural part of developing an adult relationship with God and within the faith community with which you worship.

That showtime has passed. Please try next available showtime.
USA, 2010, 107 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: African-American, American Indie, Crime, Drama
Programs: Contemporary World Cinema, New Directors ShowcaseLanguage: English
DIRECTOR: Russell Costanzo
Producer: Melissa B. MillerEditor: Russell Costanzo, Michael TaylorScreenwriter: Russell CostanzoCinematographer: Chris ScarafilePrincipal Cast: Aunjanue Ellis, Armando Riesco, Frank Vincnt, Michael Morris JR.
The uncompromising first feature film written and directed by Russell Costanzo unfolds on the teeming streets of New York, where three troubled people struggle to cope in the aftermath of a shooting that has taken the life of an African-American teenager. The boy's fiery mother, Darraylynn Warren (Aunjanue Ellis) is consumed by grief, rage, and the urge for revenge. His younger brother, Dre (Michael Morris, Jr., making his film debut), is at age 16 torn between trying to put a useful life together (he's a talented artist) and joining a violent neighborhood gang called the Black Knights. Julian Varone (Armando Riesco) is the white New York cop who killed young Derek Warren in error; after a year as a basket case, he's just now returning to the plainclothes beat, still guilt-ridden and uncertain.
Amid a torrent of rough talk and teen slang, a contemporary urban tragedy begins to take shape. In Costanzo's scheme, every hard-won advance by one of the characters—Dre finds a sweet-tempered girlfriend; his mother starts working for a sympathetic liquor store owner—seems to be counterweighted by a setback. As in the streetwise New York films of Spike Lee and Sidney Lumet, life is harsh in this most unforgiving of cities, and victory over the elements is rare.
For Costanzo, though, the future looks bright. One of the film's executive producers is Frank Vincent, who played mob boss Phil Leotardo on The Sopranos and fills the bill here as a hard-bitten police lieutenant. The young filmmaker clearly has some power in his corner moving forward.—BILL GALLO

The drug trade is a well-known problem across our Mexican border, and we've all heard stories of smugglers swallowing balloons, using religious statues (it's not just a "Lost" plot point), giving coyotes a second job, and otherwise using creative ideas in order to get their wares across the border.
With human body cavities being so small (and so unpleasant as a storage and inspection vessel), it seems that the Mexican drug smugglers have turned to a new, larger and legally-frozen body cavity: the shark.
Yep, the Mexican Navy found an entire ton of cocaine hidden inside frozen shark carcasses. The sharks were loaded onto a U.S.-bound container ship on the Yucatan Peninsula. Apparently, the crackdown on the drug trade by the DEA and the Mexican government is leading smugglers to think outside the box (or, in this case, inside the carcass) with their storage vessels.
And so we award Mexico's Naval Commander Eduardo Villa a congratulatory Fantasy T-Wearer Award today, in honor of this huge bust. May he enjoy the "Wipe Out Substance Abuse" Shark T-shirt, above.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith was released on $20,000 bail after being booked by Los Angeles Police Department on Sunday for "false report of a bomb threat," according to jail records.
After being taken into custody at Los Angeles International Airport, Smith was booked at 4:16 p.m. on the felony charge, which is punishable by up to one year in jail. He was released at 7:02 p.m. after posting bail.
[RELATED: Police: Smith 'appeared' to have been drinking before arrest]
No date has been set for a court appearance.
Smith pleaded not guilty in November to three felony counts of possessing illegal assault rifles. Investigators say they found the firearms shortly after his 2012 house party, during which he was stabbed and two others were wounded by gunfire from alleged gang members in attendance.
Smith was also arrested in September on a drunken-driving charge. His next court date in Santa Clara County Superior Court is scheduled for April 29.

Dallas Sheriff Lupe Valdez to buy new mobile command center
Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez's request for a $80,000 grant has been approved, and she is ready to use it to buy a new $273,000 mobile command truck.
Valdez told county commissioners in February that her department has fallen behind other agencies in being able to respond to major incidents.
Now that her grant request to the governor's Criminal Justice Division has been approved, Valdez says in a briefing that she's ready to buy a 2008 Chevrolet vehicle with 19,038 miles.
The vehicle, however, costs $198,000. Valdez is proposing to use her federal drug forfeiture money to pay for the remaining $118,000 as well as a $75,000 "communications component."
Valdez is proposing to use it "as a response vehicle for disasters and emergencies as well as serving as a mobile substation." Her department said it will also be used as a "community outreach tool by building stronger relationships between the Sheriff's Department and county citizens."

Hello, fellow forumites! This is the OOC thread for my first RP (on this forum, at least), the primary thread of which I hope to post soon. Unlike many of the RP�s that I�ve observed, this one does not take place in an already established franchise, but rather a more or less original universe of my own making called the �Spiral Arm Universe�. It�s only �more or less� because of the mythological existence of Gundam�s, a in-universe faction called the �Holy Tailis Imperium� was heavily inspired by the Warhammer 40K Imperium (though I believe I�ve done enough to make them distinct, but that will be up to you to decide when I post the faction information), and most importantly, the �Insert Phenomena�.
Said phenomena allows you to RP as established characters from across the realm of fiction, and could be said to be the universes main gimmick. But worry not, this realm is no one trick pony. Far from it�
In fact, I had meant to post this weeks earlier, but then every time I start to work on it, I get overwhelmed at the sheer volume of the detail necessary to fully describe this world, it�s races, nations, cultures, rich millennia spanning histories, and various inhabitants thereof.�
Therefore, I�ve decided to make the OOC thread not only a character creation and discussion thread, but also a constantly updating codex of my universe, if you will. I plan to submit my Spiral Arm Chronicles RP in episodic chapters, with a pilot test chapter 0, yet they will all share this OOC/Codex thread, which is updated by information presented in this RP.
That�s right, you help build universe. This is a shared creation between me (Word of God and story writer), Nifar (Word of Demi-god, lore-master, beta-reader, and RPG mechanics GM), and you (helpless divine toys and players).
That�s half the reason I created this RP to begin with, to help flesh out this universe, both personally, and with the help of the multitude of varying viewpoints present on this forum. The kinds of details I wish you to help me create range from planet names, astrography, local cultures (after all, each of the major factions within this universe are each made up of at LEAST a 100 star systems, so they most certainly can�t be monocultural. Heck, America sure isn�t, and it�s merely a strip of land on a single planet), and stories in general.
Anywho, next info dump will have faction and class information, and after that, Nifar will have hopefully have created a functioning RPG system.
Now, here�s something of a prologue to whet your appetites for what is to come�.
In their drive to touch the stars, humankind stumbled upon the leftovers of those who have already done so long ago, and have since taken their leave of this material realm. From the knowledge gleaned from ruins of these Predecessors, humans gained new fields of science, technology� and evolution. New races of humans emerged, namely the Hypers, those who channel the primal energies of the universe to cast feats of magic-like proportion and push starships past the speed of light, and Netters, those capable of accessing the Predecessor pan-galactic �Net� to understand and manipulate the fabrics of the universe, like alchemists of lore, and allow for instantaneous intersteller communications.
Armed with these gifts, humanity, now united under the militaristic Terran Commonwealth, make their first ever contact with an alien civilization, similarly endowed with the Predecessors gifts, Known as the Bande�Coo Hierarchy in the year 2842 AD. What should have been a joyous occasion for both races, final definitive proof that neither were alone amongst the stars, instead led to the single bloodiest war in either species' racial memories.
The end of an age, the end of civilizations, the end of histories� the End War.
Before the war, both empires boasted a grand total of over a hundred thousand star systems combined, over the length of the entire Spiral Arm, with a combined population exceeding ten trillion. When the smoke cleared, however, both civilizations lie in ruin, with humanities cradle, Earth, a cleansed pearl in space, and The Bande�Coo homeworld of Den shattered.� Only 2.5 million survived, cloistered away on hidden failsafe colonies located on extreme spiralwards and anti-spiralwards edges of the spiral arm (the only places not developed upon by either civilization), isolated, devastated, and faced with an uncertain future. As if to add insult to injury, most of the more unprepared colonies found themselves pushed back to medievalism when a Predecessor techno-virus, unleashed as a failsafe in case humanity lost the war, left most technology useless, destroying their digitally recorded histories as well. Their racial cultures, histories, and identities destroyed by both the End War and the techno-virus, both species merged what little culture they had left in order to survive. Any colonies that decided to continue the War (and many did), did not tend to survive the decade�
The year is now 3488 After End War (or AEW), and together both Races have once again reached the stars. A multitude of new space-faring nations and cultures have risen from the ash, most citizened by both Human and Bande�Coo. Times are harsh, as many of the more powerful empires have taken imperialist stances due to the less then ideal enviroments they developed in, but happiness is still possible. A shaky peace has been reached by the civilizations that rose from the anti-spiralward colonies after a devastating series of conflicts known as the Artifact Wars, sowing seeds of hope for the future.
However, on the other side of the Graveyard of Worlds, in the massive empire forged by the spiralwards colonies, the drums of wars are sounded. Soon, the Spiral Arm will once again be shakened by a conflict eclipsed only by the End War itself, while in the shadows ancient secrets, dark deities, and a new generation of heroes shall rise to the surface.
The Chronicals of the Spiral Arm begin now�

According to IGN, id Software president Todd Hollenshead has left the local game development studio after 17 years.
"After many years with the studio, Todd Hollenshead decided to leave id Software to pursue other personal interests," Bethesda's Pete Hines told IGN. "While Todd was not part of the development teams, he was an integral part of id Software's success as the business head of the studio and we wish him the very best in his future endeavors."
Bethesda acquired id Software in 2009.
Every time I've been to QuakeCon in Dallas, Hollenshead has been a big part of it. When not roaming the showfloor, he was often seen on stage making announcements, running contests or otherwise running the show. QuakeCon 2013 is coming in August, and it's going to be really weird not seeing him there.
id has recently been struggling with the development of Doom 4, which has been promised for a long time but as of yet has not been seen.

To Help Matt Talbot Kitchen & Outreach Click Here
The result of federal cuts to the agency - near empty pantry shelves.
In turn, food bank's across the country - don't have as much food.
That decline - has trickled down to Matt Talbot Kitchen and Outreach.
The non-profit's Emergency Pantry has an emergency of its own.
Bare shelves.
Those shelves usually give needy families well-balanced meals. Instead - volunteers are only able to give families what they have - which isn't much.
To make matters worse- donations are low as well.
"We don't have a variety of things to put in the bag, we have lots of cereal and a few beans," Matt Talbot Homeless Case Manager Ann Heydt said. "Otherwise, we don't have don't have vegetables, fruits, or soups to put in the bags of food to send with the people for them to have a complete meal."
In addition, the pantry needs canned meats, boxed meals, and Peanut Butter and Jelly.

There are so many ways to make a menu board work. In fact, you really don't even need anything other than a piece of paper on the refrigerator. If you like something a little more formal, try a chalkboard, dry erase board or a crafty board like the one pictured above made from Scrapbook supplies!
What's on your menu tonight?
We're on vacation this week. Last night we ate at Maggiano's Little Italy on the Las Vegas Strip. Yum! I have so much left I can eat it for lunch today!

Stent Use Continues to Slide
Use of stents in American hospitals fell by 10% between March and April, and 15% compared with the same period last year, Keith Winstein reports in this morning's WSJ.
Experts in the story attributed much of the decline to the results of the Courage study, announced in March, which showed that, for certain patients, stents didn't reduce major risks such as heart attack or death and that over several years drugs worked as well as stents to reduce chest pain. "A lot more patients are going to be treated with medical therapy," said William O'Neill, a cardiologist at the University of Miami.
The data underscore the growing troubles for the stent industry, recently dominated by Boston Scientific and Johnson & Johnson. Soon Abbott Laboratories and Medtronic will bringing new devices to market, hiking competition for what may be a smaller pie. Other recent stent developments:
- Last week, Johnson & Johnson's experimental CoStar stent failed in a trial against a Boston Scientific stent. The failure came just months after J&J spent $1.4 billion to buy Conor Medsystems, the maker of the CoStar stent.
- Earlier this month, Medicare scaled back plans to cover the use of stents in the neck for patients at risk of stroke. The government insurer's limited coverage will apply to fewer than 10% of the 150,000 to 200,000 people who undergo the alternative surgical-cleaning procedure (carotid endarterectomy) each year.
- J&J's sales of drug-coated stents fell 27% in the first quarter this year, as concerns over the development of blood clots in some patients long after the devices were implanted prompted some doctors to switch to cheaper bare-metal stents. Boston Scientific reported a similar decline, with sales of drug-coated stents down 26% in the first quarter. The company projected further declines in the months to come.
