I can't get it to download. During registration I can't come up with a third name (real name, user name, game name) that it will accept. I tried different names for about and hour yesterday before giving up on it. I'll probably putter with it tomorrow just to see if I can come up with something I can stand vs somthing it will let me use. Once I do that, I'll give CrossOver Games a shot - it runs the windows version of Steel Panthers so hopefully it can handle this.

Buck Sat, Aug 21, 2010 9:53:08pm |
On Wednesday afternoon, my father (who is a very physically health man of 80) had a seizure. He was alone, and they think he might have been alone and in seizure for an hour and a half before anyone noticed.
He was in his car, but in the parking lot of his office. He is a dentist.
Anyway they called an ambulance and called me. I arrived just as the ambulance was breaking the window in his car and pulling him out.
Once we got to the hospital, they did a CT scan, and learned he had a tumor.
We have learned that because of the location, and size it is inoperable, and that there is nothing anyone can do. There is no treatment.
I learned today that my father, who was until just a few days ago, vital healthy and active will die in 2-3 months.
It took 3 days, and the hard part is that he seems to have recovered from the seizure. He has a few hallucinations ever hour, like he is reading a book that isn't there, or that he is repairing a cabinet, but today he just seemed so much better. However every doctor tells us that it is very short term recovery, and that the tumor is very aggressive. He will sleep more, he will hallucinate more, and he will die.
I write this here because although I am "class of 2004" and most everyone still here thinks I am a right wing dink... LGF has meant a lot to me in the past 7-8 years. I guess I just wanted to document it here. Just like I have documented so many of my thoughts, opinions, and life events.
So I just wanted to say that.

I went to a funeral today, of the mother of one of my father's friends. A remarkable woman. She was born in Manila in 1920, and was almost through with college when the Japanese invaded. I once had the astonishing experience of getting to take her out to lunch so she could talk to my dad the war buff about her experiences.

Dude- really, this is a community, so first off,
{{{Buck}}}
with all sincerity.
I've had family and friends who have dealt who have dealt with GBs, and yes, they are killers of the first degree. Please believe me when I tell you that it is not your dad you need to concentrate on, it is the rest of your family. The progression of your dad's disease will take its own time and course. It's inexorable. Concentrate on the rest of your family and make sure that they are aware of the progress of the cancer and that they are prepared for your dad's death. Get his estate in order.
That may sound cold, but it's damn good advice.

Buck,
I may have never agreed with anything you have said since I have been here, but this transcends any political or ideological differences. I will pray for the best situation for your father, you, and your family. What Austin Blue says is true, but I would also say, spend the time you can with your father. Let him know all the things you have wanted to say to him regarding how much he meant to you, how much you love him. Don't let any sense of macho hold you back. Let your family know what they mean to you.
Yes, they will need your strength, but you will need theirs also. And when the end comes, spend some time with yourself, as well as your loved ones. but not too much.

also, Allen West thinks everyone with a Coexist bumpersticker is totally going to give away America, and since every block in Portland has a Volvo 240 or a slammed VW squareback with one of these, I guess Portland is just giving away that America:
[Link: thinkprogress.org...]
“[A]s I was driving up here today, I saw that bumper sticker that absolutely incenses me. It’s not the Obama bumper sticker. But it’s the bumper sticker that says, ‘Co-exist.’ And it has all the little religious symbols on it. And the reason why I get upset, and every time I see one of those bumper stickers, I look at the person inside that is driving. Because that person represents something that would give away our country. Would give away who we are, our rights and freedoms and liberties because they are afraid to stand up and confront that which is the antithesis, anathema of who we are. The liberties that we want to enjoy.”
What a dimwit. God damn America, you sure run a lot of weapons-grade morons for office, thank Christ on his Fucking Cross I'm way across the country from this fool

It's always strange when I sync with the New York times on music
Yob, the three-man doom-metal band from Eugene, Ore., played a show here at Skully’s on Saturday night that left you wondering when you’d heard something as good, and when you might again. It was all graceful molasses cohesion, moving in focused minor-key riffs and strong processional grooves from the bassist Aaron Reiseberg and the drummer Travis Foster, lighted up by Mike Scheidt’s fat, fuzzed guitar tone.
That's what Oregon does

re: #196 marjoriemoon
Back in "our day", the 'rents forced us to wear all kinds of things. My mother made me wear a hairpiece (back in the 60s when wigs were popular) that absolutely freaked me out. Every picture they took of me with that thing, I looked miserable.
As long has The Kid looks presentable, sports shirt or even a button down shirt with slacks, I'm sure he'll be fine.
good morning btw :)
When I went to Catholic School we wore a white shirt, Tie and dark dress pants..I always tore my dress pants on the play ground and got many spankings for wreckless dress pants play on the Basketball court as a 14 yr old.. I got yelled at constantly..But let me ask you this..Who the heck is so stupid to send kids out to play ball at recess in dress pants...You know nuns may be smart and all..But I always had issues with nuns..Big issues..Thank God never with a priest.. We had really cool Priests..Men of God.. One Priest died Christmas Morning..Everybody knew it was his prefect big goodbye.. Great Guy...

The man committed the crime he was convicted of, that's not disputed. His death sentence as commuted to a life sentence at some point.
He was in the news locally for many years, so I watched this story play out in real time. It's a fascinating story. I haven't yet read the book, but I'm going to. If you're interested in culture, culture change, prisons and prisoners and their issues, and the potential people have to become a productive member of society, this book will be a good read.

I saw that on the Daily Mail. Very disappointing.
Rabbi Joy Levitt was just speaking with Daisy Khan. Rabbi Levitt is the executive director of the JCC in Manhattan which is basically the same kind of center that Park51 is going to be. I don't believe there's a synagogue per se in the JCC (there's usually isn't) but they do have Jewish related activities as well as secular programs. It serves the community as Park51 would also serve the community.
Rabbi Levitt said they have been speaking with Ms. Khan and the Imam and have been supportive of the project, giving advice on how to handle all these issues. Of course, the rabbi reminded everyone that there was a time in this country where you could not build a synagogue and it took an act of Congress to do so.

Yes I will daydream about Paris. I make a vacation last about a year, six months planning and reading up, and learning about where I am going (or in this case, reviewing, since I've been there 6 times), and then I spend 6 months after the vacation getting the historical details and reading up and learning about places I just saw. A vacation for me is worth a year of fun.

Ok... well, I would stop at the illegal stuff, but, to each his own. Since I use to collect ancient artifacts (when I had that kind of money), I had to keep up with the private collection laws of the countries I visited, since you can get in a lot of trouble if you are caught with some ancient something or other and it's not legal to remove it from the host country.

P.S. I don't want to give the impression I was all sugar and spice and nice. I would certainly just keep things wrapped up in my luggage and not declare them, nor would I put myself in the position to have to pay extra duty on something that I already paid for. If customs wants to find the items and charge me, then have at it. I wasn't going to make it easy for them to collect more taxes than I had already paid in a host country.

Actually, get Hondurans if you want good Cubans.
Seems that when the Great Upheaval happened back when, several tobacco plantation folk took their seed stock (well, seeds, seedlings and cuttings) with them.

Morning all. Sitting here watching the sky go from light grey to dark grey/brown as the smoke from the range fire south of town blows through. They have it just about contained, but there is now a high wind advisory in effect for Southern Idaho and from the amount of new smoke, I think it has flared up again.

re: #365 Alouette
I did get my luggage pawed through in Israel when the x-ray showed some suspicious objects the size of hand grenades, that turned out to be some clay tchotchkas that I bought at a souvenir shop in Jerusalem. They had to take out the tchotchkas, unwrap them and examine them to make sure that they were really just tchotchkas and nothing else.
I'm always very happy to see people are doing what they need to do to keep me safe. Even if it's inconvenient for me.

"The jet, as well as being an ambassador of death for the enemies of humanity, has a main message of peace and friendship," said Ahmadinejad at the inauguration ceremony, which fell on the country's national day for its defense industries.
Think it has "I brake for nobody" or "Have a nice day" on it?

I can understand someone, born and raise into a religious culture and religious family life, being schooled in that religion from birth, I can understand the difficulty for that person to simply stop believing in a god. It's a socialization that becomes rather deeply built into your psych.
But, for a person who finally shakes off the traditions and religious myths, and embraces the logical positions of atheism, and then returns to a faith, that is equivalent to being a AGW denier.

very interesting. i don't know that i agree with the 'societal pressures' bit in the USA. it's a private survey...societal pressure is the pressure to act a certain way in public, right? so any private survey worth two cents, which this appears to be, should reveal private beliefs because the anonymity insulates one from societal pressure to answer in a certain fashion.

Those social pressures have the power to color our thought-processes, though. For someone who moves to someplace where they're an outcast because they don't believe in X, the acceptance that comes with conversion is a very powerful force. One might suddenly feel much happier, and credit the newfound belief with that happiness.
Just a stray thought from the top of my head. Shoot it down at will.

Sure.

It would be my position if i were attempting to prove something. However, i didn't take the position that the opposite viewpoint from the one I hold is the equivalent of an AGW denier. You staked out that ground...now be a good scientific atheist and remind me of the clear scientific proof that there is no God!
