And what kind stocking could/should I do?
I'm planning a bigger tank for my comunity Tanganyika, a 120/140 cm tank, which would free a 100x40x40 tank? Could this be appropriate? What would be my stocking options?

Topic: Chat RPG
When me and jumpy mcgee were taalking in the chat room, we came up with a wild idea to do an RPG in chat, maybe under Role-Playing. Do you think thats a good idea to do?

When me and jumpy mcgee were taalking in the chat room, we came up with a wild idea to do an RPG in chat, maybe under Role-Playing. Do you think thats a good idea to do?
Here is a basic idea of how we could do it:
Everybody has a total of 10 points. With these points, you get certain traits. Here is a table of traits you can get:
4pts A 4 4 4 8
3pts B 3 3 3 6
2pts C 2 2 2 4
1pt D 1 1 1 2
ATK – amount of dice roled (1d6) to attack
DEF – amount of dice roled to avoid attacks
DMG – the amount of HP you take away from your target when you role a succesfull attack
HP - amount of DMG you can take before dying
If the total attack beats the total defense, the the target of the attack loses the amount of DMG points the attacker has from the target's HP points.
If the ATK and DEF role tie, the ATK wins
Last edited by jumpy mcgee (Tuesday, August 4, 2009 12:11 am)
After the chat was updated Valthonin noted that we could do one of those table top rpg type things, as there is a dice roll system, so if you find something like that then you could do what you were talking about
that dice roll system is confusing as butter, because you can roll anything.
Well the dice leave it to chance. And is fair and equal to all. You can't get some of the sillier people joining in with super invincibility and having all the weapons. It makes for more balanced play.
so something like this for the character?
accept for you know the coolness thing but the rest i think is all ok

When it comes to the economy, everyone may be fretting about unknowns, yet manufacturing still is making headlines--this week on TIME magazine's cover. The article tells a familiar story: Manufacturing is back, but don't expect the industry to hire people en masse. Automation has reduced the number of people necessary to make a widget, and the people who remain must be technically savvy and think on their feet. In the middle of the article, the magazine spread shows a battery plant, void of human life save for one person with an iPad, overseeing the automation.
I wish the authors had spoken with our columnist Dick Kallage of KDC & Associates; or Rajan Suri of the Center for Quick Response Manufacturing; Gary Conner, of Lean Enterprise Training (who has an article coming up in the May issue of The FABRICATOR). If they had spoken with any one of them, they would have discovered that the GE plant isn't indicative of most U.S. manufacturers--that is, small companies.

Few health problems from Fukushima radiation
POSTED: 1:57 AM Feb 28 2013
The lifetime risk of contracting certain types of cancer rose only slightly for a small group of people, due to exposure to radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the World Health Organization said Thursday.
Otherwise, any increase in human disease in the wake of the partial meltdown triggered by the March 2011 tsunami is "likely to remain below detectable levels," according to the report.
People exposed in childhood in towns close to the Daiichi power plant are slightly more likely to contract leukemia, breast or thyroid cancer in the course of their lives than the general population, the WHO said.

Anti-bullying bill filed at Texas Capitol
8 Mar
AUSTIN, Texas — A new bill filed at the State Capitol Monday morning targets childhood and teen bullying. Lawmakers filed the bill in honor of a Texas teen who killed himself after years of bullying.
House Bill 2343 is called Asher's Law. It is named in honor of Asher Brown, 13, who killed himself in September 2010 to escape continuous bullying.
Monday morning Brown's parents stood on the south steps of the State Capitol urging lawmakers for change.
"No one should ever have to come home to police tape around their house," said Brown's mother, Amy Truong.
A large crowd filled in around the steps to listen.
The bill filed in honor of Asher is a suicide prevention bill. Representative Garnett Coleman is the author. His bill would require the Texas Department of State Health Services and the Texas Education Agency to coordinate and develop a suicide prevention program for all public schools. It also calls for changes in the Education Code when it comes to discrimination, harassment, retaliation and bullying.
For Brown the bill comes too late, but his parents are hopeful it will help others.
"We're here for everybody who's left behind. It's not really about Asher anymore, or the kids who have died, it's about the kids who are still around," said Brown's father, David Truong.
"Asher would want it that way too," added his mom. "He was always very interested in helping others and helping in causes that were larger than himself. He was very mature in that respect. We're doing his work."
Asher's Law is broken in to a number of different sections including suicide prevention and changes to the education code.
One part in particular allows districts to call for the transfer of students who are engaged in bullying to another classroom or another campus altogether.
The bill further requires school districts to provide an annual report of bullying incidents at each of its campuses. It is one of numerous equality based bills filed at the Capitol this session.

Hello there~ Don't mind me. Just posting a few gesture drawings I'm trying to get in the habit of doing before I take on any big art projects. I've been a bit out of habit of doing these since my anatomy class a year ago. I hope further improve my art by doing these again. I'll be posting a few doodle paints and complete paints as well.
These are the gesture draws I completed yesterday. Some I timed myself on. Others I did not. I used SenshiStock refs on deviantart for these. Please pardon the large files.

Welcome to SpaceSimCentral.com
It was a daring move to follow those weak comm signals out this far into space, but you lucked out. You have found SpaceSimCentral, a station that has been tucked away for some time at the edges of our galaxy where only the brave and adventurous travelers dare to go to seek fame and fortune. SpaceSimCentral is one of the last stops before you set off on new adventures in the vastness of deep space. We do get many travelers that tell great tales of merchandise and even things you can get for free if you know where to look. So, finish docking your ship and check-in your valuables and spend some time chatting with the locals on the station and maybe you will discover something you have been waiting a whole lifetime to find.
Enough of the intro, I'm DarkOne the Admin of SpaceSimCentral and we have been around a few years and are striving to become a great source of news, lore and a file repository for your favorite and upcoming space/scifi gaming titles. I have always tried very hard to make SSC a community where both developers and gamers can discuss what they want to see in games and developers can show off what they are working on and get honest feedback from gamers first hand. To all of the developers out there, SSC has always been very accommodating to developers in that we give them free forum space here on SSC to discuss their games with the public. There are quite a few projects going on here at SSC so you might as well join in on the fun as well.
So have fun exploring SSC, the site is going through some major changes and will probably continue to change for the coming months. But this is for the good and I look forward to peoples opinions on what they think and with any luck I can get some members to write up some articles and blogs about their favorite games so I don't have to do all the work. So checkout what SSC has to offer and do register and let us know of any new games or help us out with locating old mods/patches. Enjoy the community and see you in the forums.
Help fund some game projects

New orbit
Kickstarter looking for 40K http://www.kickstart...-orbit?ref=live as usually lot more info on the Kickstater page go check it out.
You know this sounds a lot like an update of Space Rogue.
Website http://blackish-games.com/
A space game with realistic gravitation, custom ship building and a fully voiced story.
Earth is gone.
Only some survived.
Everyone who could, fled the planet and settled in the asteroid belt.
Years passed, factions formed, WAR ensued over scarce resources and precious knowledge.
You are a young engineer of the Node Collective, lost deep inside enemy territory. Your mothership was on an important mission, but you weren't senior enough to know its goal and purpose. Now here you are - in a tiny, badly damaged shuttle - alone amidst the burning debris of your mothership, with nothing but the cold voice of your computer to keep you company.10 Story-missions and a bonus playground introduce you to the world of NEW ORBIT and the story of Jonah Braun.
Now we are going to take it to the next level!
Episode 2 consists of 3 parts:
Story - The story will continue, it will be longer and even more intense! We're working on haunting cutscenes, adventure sections that play out inside your shuttle cockpit and a finale like no other. Prepare for a downward spiral like you've never spiraled downwards before!
Challenges - Test your skills and earn rewards. Challenge yourself and challenge your friends! (The "Challenges" tier comes with an additional exclusive mission pack!)
Open Playground - Enter the zone as a Triterian outcast, work your way up, build a mean ship and rule the sector! (The more money we raise the bigger we can make the sector, the more freedom we can give you and the more good stuff we'll be able to add!)
This time we're aiming for the big screens too! This is still a perfect game for touchscreens, but now you'll get AAA-quality graphics and game controller support! - Let me tell you: the game plays great with an Xbox 360 controller on an HD TV!
All ships in the game are based on the same modular system - if you see it you can own it. Collect a wide variety of components and build the perfect ship for your play-style!
And some of the reward tiers come with exclusive components that you won't be able to get anywhere else. Ever.

Hello all, kudos to your great work! Is there a manual available, e.g. first steps and how to use the LDS-like drive (fast transit drives) in manual mode?

Alpha 3
The newest alpha release is now available for download on Windows, and the Linux version should follow, hopefully next week! There's too many improvements in this release to easily list, and most of them are thanks to the huge amount of work put in by Shadmar and our new programmer Salwan, and of course the Pioneer engine developers.

No Man's Sky
Seems to causing a bit of a buzz on the net from the video that has been released it a FPS with seamless transitions between space and planets surface. Think Precursors and Frontier with every thing procedural generated from fish in the sea to solar systems.
No mention of it on their site yet http://www.hellogames.org/
Hugely ambitious just hope the have the resources to pull it off, no word on which platforms Just found the VGX interview http://metro.co.uk/2...of-vgx-4222222/ Only 4 of them doing it, sound like it might be single player as well.

I do not know if a topic has been posted before about this game (none have been since june somewhere) so here goes.
I must say it's a very well-playable, enjoyable and polished game (sadly that's rare at release). But neg's are mostly that it lacks much of the SMAC atmosphere.
Anyone else managed to play this one?

Box art
This isn't going to be easy... I'm trying to find a game just based on what I remember the box art and the fact that it was a space sim/space trading game. I know it's not much to go on, but what I can remember of the artwork is that it was mostly black and white and in a minamalist style. There was a ship on the box with maybe some Asian text (not too sure about the text). The background behind that was mostly plain white. I don't know the release date, but I saw this about 10 years ago.
I've looked online at many boxes in theis genre and have come up empty, so I'm thinking this could have been released on an obscure console, or it might be from Japan.
Is there a comprehensive database with all video games in this genre?
Thanks for any help.

Gamestar interview with Bernd Lehahn
German game site interview with Egosoft bass Lehahn http://www.gamestar....89,3030754.html It's a 3 page interview and I have ran the first page through Google translator he has some interesting thing to say about the game among them is that it has sold more copies then previous X games and this not X4, they were surprised by the bumpy release and it was not the publisher fault.
The German developer Egosoft team has a tough task ahead: they must regain the trust of their customers. Because after the release of their space game X: Rebirth in November there were massive criticism from both the fans as well as by the press. Rebirth was bugged and unfinished thrown on the market - after seven years of development time.
At present, although new patches appear almost daily cycles. Until the youngest part of the X-series, however, achieved a commendable status, are certain to pass Monte. And if the serious gameplay weaknesses are ever resolved, written in the stars.
We spoke with Egosoft boss Bernd Lehahn about the release of X: Rebirth, about the future of the game and good sales now account for the Rebirth at least to financial success.
Gamestar: How did it happen that X: Rebirth was released in such an unfinished state?
We spoke with Egosoft boss Bernd Lehahn on X: Rebirth Bernd Lehahn. There are as many reasons that have negatively played together. The release date is indeed set for a while before and after seven years of development, you have to come out sometime in the game. But the problem was not the date, but our struggle to add more and more features, and that too very late in development.
We always want to offer a high level of diversity and it is just an X game become, even though I have repeatedly stressed that it is not X4. This expectation I did not want to wake up, but it's still difficult to bring out a game in the Trade, Substations, fights, plot and tutorial so many things are possible.
We have, for example, until the beginning of 2013, the landing platforms completely rebuilt. By the end of 2012, we had a mode where you end up by pressing a button and then once interacts without free running around. Consequently, we were not happy and have added much too late.
But the bigger problem is actually the little bugs that small crashes. And that is the main reason for the bumpy start, as we did not have enough testers. I have a very underestimated. We had 150 people with more testers than ever before, but the game is very popular. We have on the one hand achieved what we wanted, that many more people play the game.
But it has also brought with it that we were surprised by the many technical problems that occurred especially on fast computers. We underestimated how many problems there would be with high-end computers. We had here in the office is not a computer, which was as strong as some systems on which Rebirth is now played. We have always assumed that the game would run on such computers also good if it runs on our middle-class computers.
X: Rebirth
On "highways" we can move through the sectors of the revised X-Universe quickly - unfortunately it has fallen quite small with only four systems.Gamestar: Well Rebirth is not only because of its bugs but also because of not well thought out or well-functioning game mechanics in the criticism. Did you have during the development never felt you had to draw a line sometime now?
Bernd Lehahn: no. This problem is not new and it is always like this: We could go on and on. We can theoretically install everything since. And so we will continue to work once the bugs are fixed. There is already a long list of new features that we want to include.
The gameplay changes I see but other than the technical problems that would certainly have been annoying and avoidable if you would have done something like Early Access. If you would just test with more people. Some gameplay changes might not like many hardcore fans, but that's just another game. It was clear from the outset that many hardcore fans would rather have a X4. And maybe we do that, too someday. But we can not reach new customers. Both the entry into the game but especially the pace of the entire gameplay mechanics will always be a difference between these two approaches.
Gamestar: And with this release, you have more players achieved?
Bernd Lehahn: We have sold more games in the first weeks after release than at any other X game before.
Gamestar: But was that a fair start to charge 50 Euros for a game in this state?
Bernd Lehahn: We also get a lot of positive feedback, it is unfortunately overshadowed by many technical problems, but there are also many people play this game and are happy with. It is of course annoying when some of our customers, no matter how big is this part that has performance problems or get stuck for any reason in the plot. And such things are preventable.
But such things as the change to the highways. Something very specific, which is radically different. The game is faster and action-oriented. The trade is for example run in parallel instead of the player to force personally experience this slow part of the game. For such things there is no point with fans via such features to debate. With these basic things, the question makes little sense after better or worse, as you compare apples with pears. It's just completely different. If you make a game in which the players act itself and control its merchant ships, one has a much slower game. But we will never change at Rebirth.
On the one hand we have detailed plans X: Rebirth to expand and also to enable much what grade miss the old fans at the moment. But this much we will also add, X: Rebirth anyway for a lot of changed tuners and where nothing will change. One must as accurately distinguish.

"Contact Us" Form
I have created a simple contact form on my site <snip/>
The form code in the web page is:
<form action="includes/mail.php" method="POST">

Name

<input name="name" type="text">

Email

<input name="email" type="text">

Message

<textarea name="message" rows="8" cols="40"></textarea>

<input value="Send" type="submit"><input value="Clear" type="reset">
The content of mail.php is:

<meta content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv="content-type">
Return to La Matha site";
I would like to miss the echo page out, and have the user go straight to contact2.php when pressing "send",
Forgive what is probably a basic and simple request, but I am a novice with no background in programming etc.

Hi Denis,
You can redirect the user directly to contact2.php using the header function, like this:
PHP Code:header('Location: http://www.la-matha.com/contact2.php');
Here's the full example of your mail.php page with the page redirection code added. I've also added some basic filtering of your form data, which is always a good idea when you're dealing with input from users. Although I've not shown it here, you might also want to check that the email address supplied is valid, and $message isn't empty before you send the email.
PHP Code:<?php
$name = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'name', FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS);
$email = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'email', FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);
$message = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'message', FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS);
$formcontent = "From: $name \n Message: $message";
$recipient = "firstname.lastname@example.com";
$subject = "Contact Form";
$mailheader = "From: $email \r\n";
if ( mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) ){
header('Location: http://www.la-matha.com/contact2.php');
} else {
// Would be better to present some kind of friendly error for your users!

Thanks for the help - it works exactly as I want it to. I'm not going to bother with validation - to be honest, I don't expect much traffic, but I wanted something that looked professional.
Help from sitepoint is always appreciated!

you can redirect to the user page using header function but it behave differently on each server and its not worked in some server so another way is,
Code PHP:$targetPage ="http://www.la-matha.com/contact2.php";
Code JavaScript:
Jun 18, 2013, 01:27 #5
Can you explain what you mean? I've never had a problem using the header function to do a redirect.. the location header is part of the HTTP spec and should work across all browsers.
I'd avoid using JS to do a redirection if possible because obviously it's going to break if the user has JS disabled.

The header function has to be called before any output is sent to the browser, otherwise you get the error message you describe.
PHP Code:// This will trigger a "headers already sent" error
echo "
Thank you for your email
";
header('Location: http://www.example.com');
PHP Code:// So will this, because of the space before the opening PHP tag
header('Content-type: application/json');

Lawmakers and Activists Rally to Stop Obama-backed "Common Core"
As opposition continues to mount against an Obama-backed scheme known as "Common Core" to standardize education across America, lawmakers and activists determined to stop the radical agenda are turning up the heat. In Congress, senators and representatives are taking action. State lawmakers are too. Among the grassroots, meanwhile, advocates for educational freedom are hosting gatherings in numerous states while planning another online "Twitter Rally" on May 2 to stop Common Core before it is rolled out nationwide.
Israeli Leaders Blast Chinese Regime's Organ Harvesting, Persecution
JERUSALEM — Lawmakers in Israel led by Deputy Speaker of Knesset Moshe Feiglin and his freedom-oriented "Liberal Lobby" spoke out against barbaric human-rights abuses being perpetrated by the Communist Party regime ruling mainland China — especially the harvesting of body organs from executed dissidents and prisoners of conscience. The two-hour symposium at the Israeli Parliament featured an award-winning documentary on the brutal crimes, a speech by a survivor of the Chinese dictatorship's prison camps, and an array of prominent human rights advocates speaking out on behalf of the victims.
Citing Security, Critics Blast Mexican-made Border Patrol Uniforms
Citing national security, high American unemployment, budget deficits, and safety concerns, critics lambasted the Obama administration's Department of Homeland Security for its recent decision to purchase over $7 million of U.S. Border Patrol uniforms that are made in Mexico. All across the political spectrum, members of the media, Congress, and law-enforcement advocates say the goods should be produced in America. However, despite previous uproars in recent years over similar contracts, the administration claims that it must accept the Mexican-made uniforms under the North American Free Trade Agreement.

The non-government-backed digital currency known as bitcoin (BTC) has soared to prominence in recent weeks after a meteoric rise in value from less than $50 to over $250 in just days followed by a devastating crash back down to about $85 today. Amid the wild volatility, analysts and experts weighed in to speculate about what may be going on, with some seeing bitcoin as the wave of the future and others downplaying it as a potentially interesting anecdote for historians to examine that is unlikely to displace establishment currencies.
After Gold Crash, Experts Point to Central Bank Manipulation
In the wake of gold prices cratering in recent days, more than a few prominent experts have already started pinning the blame on Western central banks — especially the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank (ECB). According to numerous analysts, the central bankers are desperate to salvage their fiat currencies and eliminate competition as monetary authorities continue to create ever-greater quantities of euros and dollars out of thin air.
Some experts, whistleblowers, traders, and former officials say the Fed dumped as much as 400 or even 500 tons of "paper gold" on the market — metals that it might not even have — as part of a naked short sale aimed at driving down the prices. Other analysts, especially among the establishment, pointed to the ECB chief's recent suggestion that struggling European authorities in countries like Cyprus would have to sell their precious metals to keep receiving bailouts.
GOP Blasts Obama-backed National Education Standards
The increasingly vocal campaign to stop an Obama administration-backed set of national education standards known as "Common Core" from being forced on state governments and local schools just got a major boost on Friday. Meeting in Los Angeles last week, the Republican National Committee (RNC) unanimously adopted a resolution blasting the "one size fits all" educational scheme as "an inappropriate overreach to standardize and control the education of our children so they will conform to a preconceived 'normal.'"
Sen. Ted Cruz Slams Obama Over Foiled Power Grabs
Prominent U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) released a report documenting President Obama's lawless attempts to expand executive power, citing six failed efforts since 2012 to increase federal authority that were rejected by the entire Supreme Court — even by his own big government-supporting nominees. Among the examples of executive-branch power grabs cited by the popular Republican senator: tracking citizens using GPS without having probable cause, interfering with churches, depriving property owners of the ability to challenge federal abuses in court, seeking the authority to override state laws at will, and more.
The hard-hitting report, entitled "The Legal Limit: The Obama Administration's Attempts to Expand Federal Power," cites numerous cases to argue that the president's lust for increased power knows essentially no limits.
Obama Paves Way to Arm Muslim Brotherhood-linked Regime in Somalia
President Obama decided this week that the Muslim Brotherhood-linked regime ruling parts of Somalia out of the capital city Mogadishu is eligible to receive U.S. military aid and weapons, sending a memo to Secretary of State John Kerry announcing the new finding and laying the ground work for even more foreign entanglements in Africa. While the decision does not mean American taxpayers will begin sending arms immediately, Obama claimed his administration could legitimately provide military assistance to United Nations-backed Somali authorities under existing U.S. export and foreign aid statutes.
Defying Congress, Obama Sends U.S. Taxes to Russian State Arms Firm
Despite a bipartisan federal law prohibiting financial contracts with the Russian government-owned arms giant Rosoboronexport, the Obama administration announced that it would be purchasing another $680 million worth of military helicopters from the state company for the Afghan regime of Hamid Karzai. The contract comes after the Pentagon already spent $411 million with the supplier since May of 2011, bringing the estimated amount of U.S. taxpayer funds funneled to the state-owned behemoth to about $1 billion in recent years.
The latest deal, however, drew furious outrage from across the political spectrum.
Top Syrian Rebel Group Merges With Al-Qaeda in Iraq
One of the most prominent and powerful rebel factions fighting on behalf of the Obama administration-backed "regime change" operation in Syria formally announced that it was merging with al-Qaeda in Iraq, sparking fresh concerns about the U.S. government arming, training, and funding the so-called "revolution." The latest news comes on the heels of reports that the war-torn nation is on the verge of becoming a haven for Islamic extremists on par with Afghanistan and Iraq as foreign jihadists continue flooding into Syria.
Two days before the explosive announcement, purported al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri called on all Islamic fighters in Syria to join together in the bid to oust the existing regime and seize power.

Lee, like Metzger, refused the request, warning him it was unsafe. She testified that she told Jackson that any doctor who would give him propofol at home didn't care about him and was just doing it for the money.
Jackson lawyers contend it was around the same time that Dr. Murray agreed to take to job. Just over two weeks later -- on May 6 -- an AEG Live executive wrote in an e-mail saying that it was a "done deal" that Murray was being hired for $150,000 a month to serve as Jackson's full-time physician.
Jackson lawyers began their rebuttal case Wednesday afternoon by calling Los Angeles Police Detective Scott Smith, who testified that he concluded Murray's motive in Jackson's homicide was the $150,000 monthly salary he was to get from AEG Live.
"Information was obtained that revealed that Dr. Murray financially was in ruins, was losing his house in Las Vegas, had a lien against his pool, was arrears in child support for multiple children to multiple women," Smith said. "Financially, he was just a mess."
Jackson lawyers argue that AEG Live executives created a conflict of interest with the structure of their agreement with Murray, which provided that he could be fired if the concerts were delayed or canceled. He was too dependent upon the pay to refuse to administer the risky propofol infusions which Jackson was convinced he needed to prepare for the tour, they argue.
The key reason Jackson lawyers called Smith was to refute a statement made by Kathy Jorrie, the lawyer who helped negotiate and write the contract between AEG Live and Murray.
Smith, who interviewed Jorrie during his investigation of Murray, wrote in his report that she told him that the London concerts were "only the beginning, that Michael Jackson was going to do a world tour that was to last two to three years."
Jorrie testified last month that she never told police there was a planned world tour.
"If Detective Smith were to come in here and say you made that statement he would be lying?" Jackson lawyer Brian Panish asked Jorrie.
"He would be mistaken," Jorrie replied.
In court Wednesday, Smith testified that "she did state that there was going to be a world tour that would last two to three years." He said it was reflected in his handwritten notes, as well as the typewritten summary of his interview with the lawyer for AEG Live.
Evidence that AEG Live and Jackson intended to take his tour around the world is important if the jury decides the company should pay damages in the singer's death. An entertainment expert hired by the Jacksons estimated he would have earned $1.6 billion if he had not died -- mostly from that world tour. It represents lost income that jurors could order AEG Live to pay the family in damages.
Jackson lawyers said they may show jurors previously unseen raw video of Jackson's last rehearsals after they call Dr. Metzger to the witness stand Thursday. They said they expect to rest their case at the end of the day.
Judge Palazuelos will read several hours of jury instructions on Friday, guidance intended to help jurors find their way through a complicated case that could take weeks to deliberate.

This does not surprise me at all. The attitude of those in California and specifically Ventura County regarding these types of agencies are more of a "Haute couture" type of endeavor instead of doing what counts. It is more of an "all me" and look at what I am doing.
Just one example. A while back I cleaned out some closets and had several bags of clothing, some almost new, that I was going to trash. I decided to put them in bags an dump them in a local dumpster. You know that bins at every supermarket parking lot.
Guess what I drove all over looking for one, none to be had. I finally just threw them away. Yeah, I could have looked up some locations but it so ticked me off that if they didn't care enough to make it easy to collect donations them screw it.
I don't claim to be working for the needy but these types of places do and they have an attitude of 'bring it to me and I will see if it is acceptable.'
I was discussing this with a friend and they said they took stuff to a place and they screened it as if they were being asked to purchase it. They didn't even want to accept anything but the very best, like a regular retail second hand store. If they can't even be bothered to accept and then screen the stuff themselves, well that speaks volumes.
Well if you do business like that you will have no business.
Well, aren't you a pompous piece of work...
Ever hear of the Rescue Mission? They'll take anything...even your golden chonies.
Have a good night, and take care not to chip your perfect teeth on that silver spoon of yours.
