  1. If you still have it as a psd see what itlooks like if you make the text the color of the bars holding the fox back. give it the allover eerie glow :look:

    I would love to, but the only art program that I have to work with is GIMP. It doesn't have any spiffy functions like that...:\


  2. But with Greenpeace being a world recognized group, they still have protection under the umbrella of laws arranged by and for peaceful activists. An action taken like this by those GP is protesting falls under descrimination, assault with a deadly weapon, assault with intent to harm, meaningful destruction of property and more.

    The Nisshin broke enough laws to put most of, if not all of, the entire crew in prison for some time, and the pilot and the Captian could end up with extended sentences if there were serious injuries.

    Just because Greenpeace protests, doesn't mean that they are dangerous. Nor should it put bullseyes on their members. Big industry needs lear that if they don't listen to the people, when things do get changed by Greenpeace and like groups, it is just gonna be that much harder on them.


  3. Now that is some serious bullshit. That whaling ship can loose it's licence to sail if anyone was seriously hurt. I hope that they get every penalty they have coming to them. Bastards...

    I mean, I can kinda understand the whalers being angry at the Sunrise, but it's not like they couldn't go around. Why have to deal with all of the legialities, processes, and everything else that comes with the ramming? Even if it was just one person seriously injured, they could loose their licence to operate, and not just the pilot, but every man(or woman) on the Nisshin Maru! How stupid can people get...


  4. I just finished watching the Naruto Movie: Daikatsugeki! Yukihime ninpôchô dattebayo!!(can't find the translation at the moment...^_^; ) Definately a must see, btw... There is an image that I am after, and can't find for anything: After the battle at the train, they show a shot that is just bloody kunai in the snow...Can someone post it for me, please?


  5. The quality on most of them that I've found isn't the best...It is really more the battle that I was referring to. One of the better quality ones was this one... There are more bad quality than good, but they show a lot of the better battles that haven't(and prob'ly won't) air in the US.


  6. Hmm...favorite poem. All in all, I'd have to say...

    The Raven

    Once upon a midnight dreary, while I

    pondered, weak and weary,

    Over many a quaint and curious volume

    of forgotten lore--

    While I nodded, nearly napping,

    suddenly there came a tapping,

    As of some one gently rapping, rapping

    at my chamber door.

    "'Tis some visitor," I muttered,

    "tapping at my chamber door--

    Only this and nothing more."

    Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the

    bleak December;

    And each separate dying ember wrought

    its ghost upon the floor.

    Eagerly I wished the morrow; --vainly I

    had sought to borrow

    From my books surcease of sorrow--

    sorrow for the lost Lenore--

    For the rare and radiant maiden whom

    the angels name Lenore--

    Nameless here for evermore.

    And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling

    of each purple curtain

    Thrilled me--filled me with fantastic

    terrors never felt before;

    So that now, to still the beating of my

    heart, I stood repeating

    "'Tis some visitor entreating entrance

    at my chamber door--

    Some late visitor entreating entrance

    at my chamber door; --

    This it is and nothing more."

    Presently my soul grew stronger;

    hesitating then no longer,

    "Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your

    forgiveness I implore;

    But the fact is I was napping, and so

    gently you came rapping,

    And so faintly you came tapping,

    tapping at my chamber door,

    That I scarce was sure I heard you" --

    here I opened wide the door; --

    Darkness there and nothing more.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I

    stood there wondering, fearing,

    Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal

    ever dared to dream before;

    But the silence was unbroken, and the

    stillness gave no token,

    And the only word there spoken was the

    whispered word "Lenore!"

    This I whispered, and an echo murmured

    back the word "Lenore!"

    Merely this and nothing more.

    Back into the chamber turning, all my

    soul within me burning,

    Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat

    louder than before.

    "Surely," said I, "surely that is

    something at my window lattice

    Let me see, then, what thereat is, and

    this mystery explore--

    Let my heart be still a moment and this

    mystery explore; --

    "'Tis the wind and nothing more!"

    Open here I flung the shutter, When,

    with many a flirt and flutter

    In there stepped a stately Raven of the

    Saintly days of yore.

    Not the least obeisance made he; not a

    minute stopped or stayed he;

    But, with mein of lord or lady, perched

    above my chamber door--

    Perched upon my bust of Pallas just

    above my chamber door--

    Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

    Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad

    fancy into smiling,

    By the grave and stern decorum of the

    countenance it wore,

    "Though thy crest be shorn and shaven,

    thou," I said, "art sure no craven,

    Ghastly grim and ancient Raven

    wandering from the Nightly shore--

    Tell me what thy lordly name is on the

    Night's Plutonian shore!"

    Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

    Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to

    hear discourse so plainly,

    Though its answer little meaning--

    little relevancy bore;

    For we cannot help agreeing that no

    living human being

    Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird

    above his chamber door--

    Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust

    above his chamber door,

    With such name as "Nevermore."

    But the Raven, sitting lonely on the

    placid bust, spoke only

    That one word, as if his soul in that

    one word he did outpour.

    Nothing farther then he uttered--not a

    feather then he fluttered--

    Till I scarcely more than muttered

    "Other friends have flown before--

    On the morrow he will leave me, as my

    hopes have flown before."

    Then the bird said "Nevermore."

    Startled at the stillness broken by

    reply so aptly spoken,

    "Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is

    its only stock and store

    Caught from some unhappy master whom

    unmerciful Disaster

    Followed fast and followed faster till

    his songs one burden bore--

    Till the dirges of his Hope that

    melancholy burden bore

    Of 'Never--nevermore.'"

    But the Raven still beguiling all my

    sad soul into smiling,

    Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in

    front of bird, and bust and door;

    Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook

    myself to linking

    Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this

    ominous bird of yore--

    What this grim, ungainly, ghastly,

    gaunt, and ominous bird of yore

    meant in croaking "Nevermore."

    This I sat engaged in guessing, but no

    syllable expressing

    To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned

    into my bosom's core;

    This and more I sat divining, with my

    head at ease reclining

    On the cushion's velvet lining that the

    lamp-light gloated o'er,

    But whose velvet violet lining with the

    lamp-light gloating o'er,

    She shall press, ah, nevermore!

    Then, methought, the air grew denser,

    perfumed from an unseen censer

    Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls

    tinkled on the tufted floor.

    "Wretch," I cried, "Thy God hath lent

    thee--by these angels he hath sent thee

    Respite--respite and nepenthe from thy

    memories of Lenore,

    Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and

    forget this lost Lenore!"

    Quoth the Raven "Nevermore."

    "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!

    prophet still, if bird or devil!--

    Whether Tempest sent, or whether

    tempest tossed thee here ashore,

    Desolate yet all undaunted, on this

    desert land enchanted--

    On this home by Horror haunted--tell me

    truly, I implore--

    Is there-- is there balm in Gilead?--

    tell me-- tell me, I implore!"

    Quoth the Raven "Nevermore."

    "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil! - prophet still,

    if bird or devil!

    By that Heaven that bends above us - by that God

    we both adore --

    Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant

    Aidenn,

    It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name

    Lenore --

    Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels

    name Lenore."

    Quoth the Raven "Nevermore."

    "Be that word our sign of parting, bird

    or fiend!" I shrieked, upstarting--

    "Get thee back into the tempest and the

    Night's Plutonian shore!

    Leave no black plume as a token of that

    lie thy soul hath spoken!

    Leave my loneliness unbroken! --quit the

    bust above my door!

    Take thy beak from out my heart,and

    Take thy form from off my door!"

    Quoth the Raven "Nevermore."

    And the Raven, never flitting, still is

    sitting, still is sitting

    On the pallid bust of Pallas just above

    my chamber door;

    And his eyes have all the seeming of a

    demon's that is dreaming,

    And the lamp-light o'er him streaming

    throws his shadow on the floor;

    And my soul from out that shadow that

    lies floating on the floor

    Shall be lifted--nevermore!


  7. Before I get to the meat of the matter I have to say...wow. This is my first personal post in the Computers section...:shock:

    Anyway, I know that several memebers keep ExHD's for one purpose or another, and I was wondering what everyone thinks is the best one to get. My purpose is strictly for the storage of DL'ed anime(now that we have links for sites, I want One Peice and Naruto :bigthumb: ). What does everyone think?


  8. Why's that?:P

    Yeah it's adding some good conflict now, and will make things a temporary hell for Watarimono as he regains his memories. And it is too much for the hookey/after school patrol; otherwise I would've just posted the scene for all to see...unless the rules around here have changed? :evil:

    You are SASUKE!

    Stylish. Skillful. Sexy. You've never had trouble getting people to notice you even if sometimes you wish they wouldn't. At least you can always feel happy knowing you excel at whatever you try. Now if you could only kill that brother of yours...

    Not at all what the hell I was expecting.-_-; This comes rather opposite to who I am; I can be in a room of two, and never be noticed...ever. And sexy? Who's kidding who here?
