Or rather, the translation to Japanese, to be more precise. I have a friend who's given me an odd new nickname^_^, and wants it in Japanese. Having no nearby friends on location to ask, here I go: Can any of the few speakers of the language who float about get me the translation of "Hunter in the Shadows"? I'd like it written as I would see it in a dictionary(ie: ten: heaven, sky....you get the idea), as well as in Kanji, if possible. No real rush, but I would appriceate it immensely!

Nice... Has a good feel, tense fast pace. Maybe don't give the idea of the abductors being hackers, it might be more useful later... Just a thought.

Skellie chapters are useful, whether they bite you or not; the outlining they give can be useful, I've found.

Maran and the Chosen, hmm? I like the thought, especially if you go to the idea of her having traversed several of the Ephemeral Relms(with Ben's help, of course) that you had mentioned awhile back(her claw becoming a psychic extention, not just a physical weapon, due to her time in the Relms). Or just the fact of how much of a natural fighter she is anyway, her and Jade could get into some interesting conversations...

I only use iTues if it is a song I don't want to buy a whole CD to get, otherwize I'm with you, GG. :/

DX, good pick on movies! Got a bit more information you might find interesting in regards to it: The punch it gave to the pentagon (four sets of steel reenforced 32 inch thick walls) is a match to the prototype cavebuster missile(built to ram through up to 38 inches of solid stone; modified to 56 inches of penetration); the manuverability shown, its invisblity to radar and the precision of the blast(no external scorching to the ground and none to items within the blast zone) support the concept.

I also want to point out the lack of debris at the towers...

Well, it's a DVD+ firstly, and I honestly have no idea what the major difference is... As per the regional code, I was looking, but I can't turn it off on my drive. If I knew where else to look to do it, I'd look, but as far as I know, it's only in the drive properties area and it only gives me a list of regions I an change to, but not to turn the region off or to '0'. Ideas?

Hey, got a bit of an odd issue, wondering if anyone has any ideas...

I burned a number of eps from one of my favorite shows to DVD, but it refuses to play on my player. It's weird because I've played burned DVD's before, but even my 360 refuses to play this one... Any thoughts?

Now there is a character I haven't heard about in ages! I hope it goes over well, I remember you saying the WillyCon judges can be harsh...Good luck.

The major problem behind GM contamination is the fact of how hard it is to regulate, because it falls under several different groups to regulate, and each one thinks the other is going to do the job. If there was a single group set to control, moniter, and set more stringent regulations on genetic crops and their release into the markets it'd help.

Thanks everyone! You have no IDEA how much I needed this! I'm so fucking tired of shit news...but at least all of those people who matter either told me in person, or in messages, happy Day. Thank you, one and all...

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews on Gears, short game, overly simple controls, crap like that...What is the opinion of it you two have, Strider, Eppy?

Saiel, Castlevania is great, I got that this morning from a friend (early b-day) and LOVE it. Definately one I'll recommend to friends!

Multi pointed thread for everyone...

Firstly: I invested in an X Box 360, making me a very happy person...However, I'm looking for a good shooter besides DMC 4 and Halo. Suggestions?

The second point of this thread is simply to say if there are any XB Live players looking to hook-up for a bit of gaming, PM me and we'll trade gamer tags!

The Constitution will never stop being undermined because people figure that a document which is 219 (?) years old is no longer applicable to recent policies and politics. It's not a good attitude to have, but that's how the law makers of today think (in general). In the beginning of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Bush tried to say that the Espionage Act still applies in times of war. The government of today picks and chooses which old laws still apply so long as it benefits them.[/QUOTE]

Wow. First of all, I have to say that this is an interesting read! People are doing their homework for once, and I must say I'm quite glad to see it!

Now, I must admit to knowing little of Ron Paul, but the topics discussed are one's I have a bit of an opinion on. The fact of the entire matter is poignant, considering the topic at hand: the US Constitution. What changes have been made effects over the years from these changes, governmental issues, the works. Good topic.

The Gold Standard. When the GS was stepped away from, it created two things: inflation (bad) and the appearence of superiority by the USD (worse). Consider this, though: the primary reason for the loss of the GS was due to the appearence of several gold veins in non-US controlled vistas, cutting a foothold for the strength of the standard. When the gov't saw the possible loss of power, the GS was removed.

The bigger problem, though, is interpretation. If 100 people read the Constitution, you'd get about 85-95 different responses on what it ment: both as a whole, and as a guiding principal in a time of war. The remaning few would be similar, if not wholly identical. Interpretation is the biggest problem when War is knocking, and those that support it are running rampant; especially when you consider the document is nearly 250 years old.

One old joke states, "If we are a country dedicated to free speech, why do we have phone bills?". The originator of the joke made it sound like speech was ment as everything said, when it is supposed to mean, those things said in a public forum(news, etc) whould be taken in context and not used against someone.

Then there is all the gun laws. "Right to bear arms"? Yeah, that ment a right to have a way to defend your home from invaders, not a right to carry a .357 and blast away in a local mall.

Interpretation is everything.

I'm enthralled by the story. I can't wait to read the next post! Curious, Dana/Jones isn't just a computer hacker, it sounds like she's a pretty good profiler to boot!

Lol. As one who was privy to Dana in her pre-writing form (and a sticky board for ideas) I have to tell you, Mathias, you really have no idea just what kind of person Dana is! Hacker, profiler, mental dominant...the list goes on!

Definately need the next chapter, Marx!

OHH! So late! Happy Birthday, GG! May your wishes have come true guy!

*huggles Marx* Hey! You haven't called yet! Tell you guys what...it's been hard trying to track down a net card. My comp hasn't liked the three I've tried yet, so I'm at the base library. Time around here is hard to come by, so I've not been on as much as I'd like to be.

For those who are here in AZ, I'm on Ft. Huachuca, outside of Seirra Vista. Drop me PM's and tell me how close you are! Later to all!

*is glomped* Ghaaa! *huggles* Sup Cabbit!

ooooh are you back for good or on leave or am I totally missing the point here....

I'm at my AIT, my military job training...in short, I'm back for good, just not super often until I can buy a wireless card. DAMN IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK! Huggles and weekend passes to my base for all!

Well, kinda...

I'm sitting in Arizona, at the Shopette, paying for my internet, here at AIT. Tell y'all wht, though, it's nice to have any net access at all(even if it is $10 a day.)! I just wanted to let everyone know I'm okay, and I'll be on once in awhile to drop messages and chat! Take care everyone!

Actually, that Naruto "Adult" story I've been working on is at the request of a friend...as to asking others to do stuff for me...Prob'ly not. Every other writer I know has enough on their plates already, so why burden them with requests...unless they as for them, of course.

Nice sig...haven't checked out Xtreame X-Men in ages. Like the Harley Quinn sig, too.

*Joins Tasha* YAY! I was gonna go nuclear on someone...

NO! THEY CANNOT KILL RIN!!! Sooo not cool... Rin is absolutely adorable... what a drag.

I've got to side with Strider on Ep 25 of FMA. Elysia is just so damn adorable, and then they show that scene... I just about die every damn time they show it.

As to scenes that I just get pumped up about...the final fight between Zabuza and Gato in Naruto. Naruto gets emotional about Haku, Zabuza gets emotional with Naruto, then Gato gets his just desserts from Zabuza. One of many good fights from several good anime's.

Welcome! Good to see that n00bs are still readily eaten! Have fun and stay a while!

Seriously diggin' the Cheza sig...that one has my vote! All of 'em are great, though!
