BQ- Do you say awesome?(or any of its various synonyms.)

Mmm. Yeah, I love raping the English language, so here goes…

At work, when someone does something just messed up we shake our heads and go, "Cocaine’s a hell of a drug." (rick james)

When something good happens we nod and say "Snus" but you have to draw it out and say it like you just hit the chronic. All mellow, good times.

I’m after a high definition camcorder. Not bothered about brilliant stills capabiity. What is best storage, HDD,SD,CD. Read something about start up times, was getting lost in too many reviews! Budget max £1000. Thanks

MiniDV have the edge in picture quality, and there’s a lot of software available for editing. However, they can be inconvenient, and there can be sound quality issues from the rotary mechanisms in the camcorder.

Hard drive camcorders have good recording capacity, but their image quality tends to be poor, and they usually use a format like AVCHD or MPEG-2 which cannot easily be edited

Personally I would recommend Flash memory camcorder. Good video quality, compact.
Good model that I would recommend is Panasonic SD700 Full HD 1920×1080p (50p) Camcorder With 3MOS Sensor, SD Card Recording and Manual Control Ring or another good model that come with internal flash memory Panasonic TM700

A University professor at a well known institution of higher learning challenged his students with this question. "Did God create everything that exists?"

A student bravely replied, "Yes he did!"

"God created everything?" The professor asked.

"Yes sir, he certainly did," the student replied.

The professor answered, "If God created everything; then God created evil. And, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then we can assume God is evil."

The student became quiet and did not answer the professor’s hypothetical definition. The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.

Another student raised his hand and said, "May I ask you a question, professor?"

"Of course", replied the professor.

The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?"

"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?"

The other students snickered at the young man’s question.

The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460 F) is the total absence of heat; and all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat."

The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist?"

The professor responded, "Of course it does."

The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact, we can use Newton’s prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color.

You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn’t this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."

Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist?"

Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course, as I have already said. We see it everyday. It is in the daily examples of man’s Inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.

To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God’s love present in his heart. It’s like the cold that comes when there is no heat, or the darkness that comes when there is no light."

The professor sat down.

http://www.religioustolerance.org/culeins.htm is my source, and I know it’s an urban legend, but I liked it anyways.

No references? Gosh I am shocked.

I only have a budget of about 400 bucks.
I need a High Definition camera, because my old Sony Handy-cam is broken.
My Handy-cam was a total nuisance too.
Im looking for something with the quality of a CANON VIXIA, but very cheap.
Not cheap to where it breaks easily though.
Used would be okay, only if its in real good condition.
Online would be a plus too.
Im an amateur filmmaker looking for something that would be brilliant to use on an amateur budget.
THANKS!

Person who helps me, and leads me to something good gets 10+ points.
Fellow filmmakers will get more if your experienced in this stuff.

Asking $35 for it, is it worth it or should I go for something else? Spending limit is $36. So no, I can’t get a new, $150 capture card or anything, I’m planning on transfering video tapes to digital copies on my computer. Thanks.

That is a good TV tuner and video capture card. You must have a PC with at least dual core processor with 2 GB RAM to achieve good quality DVD video when you transfer your materials from video tapes. Likewise, HDD should be big enough (320-500 GB). The price is very reasonable.

So, in high school everyone praised me for having such a high GPA, getting into a great college, and playing baseball while also editing the yearbook and being in Honor Society. I had few real friends and kind of just blended in, coming home to mess around and study. I worked extremely hard on my writing, getting tutors to ensure A’s and high SAT scores, and I was a total detail-oriented person in every way, even diligently studying the Driver’s Ed book…and cropping photos for the yearbook like it was for National Geographic. I thought that as long as I did all those things then everything would be great in my life. Unfortunately, not the case…

Fast forward 2004 to now, I’ve had friendships start, end…I’ve been hated, loved, praised, mocked. I’ve done masterful work in college, I’ve also done lazy work in college. I’ve been so anxious to get a 4.0 at times that I took Xanax to dull the nervousness but since about a year ago I just feel like I want to graduate and get out of there and I don’t stress the classes or my grades that much, just care about passing as it’s my last semester.

I smoked almost 2 packs a day for half a year due to school/interpersonal anxiety. I quit that 1.5 years ago. I got into shape and dropped 50 pounds while cutting my body fat to about 12% and looking really ripped. I became disillusioned with the fact that it didn’t get a nice girlfriend so I put back some of the fat from before and it’s kind of like that time and effort was wasted at the gym. I tried to transform myself into a Pickup artist from reading ‘The Game’ to find strategies to get women at bars to like you. I became very outgoing with women and they responded, but again, it was either superficial banter at the bar or a superficial relationship that hurt me more than helped me.

I tried to find the Lord recently and bring myself to Jesus. I was saved (hopefully) and baptized at a Baptist church. I thought I would fit in there…but I didn’t, they taught all these rules on what I could and couldn’t do and I couldn’t understand their hatred of all things ‘normal’ as well as Catholics and things like that. After having found a haven in the Church and being an active member like 2 or 3 days week for several months, I ended up telling them goodbye and never looking back. I do love Jesus and have a cross tattoo on my arm that I absolutely love, but I guess I don’t love him as much as I should since I don’t pray, repent regularly, or even pick up my KJV Bible.

My best friend of 11 years basically cut all ties with me for no apparent reason. My other friend just graduated with a degree in Econ from a great school but he was just taken to a psych ER for having semi-delusional thoughts and anxiety…I feel bad for him, but he’ll be straight. My other friend is a 33 year old pick up artist who lives with his parents and always wants me to club with him to meet girls, yet he is very awkward but sort of good at getting laid. I’ve tried to become a Jersey-shore type character where I dress with a huge cross and all fancy clothes, girls tell me I’m cute but that makes me feel even worse cuz I’ve been told that for years but I haven’t had a relationship that has made me happy…just random, physically-satisfying sex that makes me feel miserable afterwards.

I go to a therapist and he’s the only person in my life who I trust wholeheartedly. He guides me in the right direction and understands that I’m at times brilliant. Most people think I’m a goofball…a lot of people think I’m highly intelligent, but perhaps somewhat silly. No one at school really knows me other than as a superficial character that I portray. I tend to open up to people too quickly, put myself out there and be a people pleaser, and also tend to idealize people and put them on a pedestal after not having known them that long, just because they “seem” nice.

Now, everywhere I go…bars, clubs, strippers, prostitutes, girls off Craigslist who want nothing but sex, I keep getting questioned as to where I work, why did I quit a cushy govt job where I couldve been making 70 thousand in 5 years, and where I work now. I tell them I’m just studying full time, directing student films. They ask me why I still live at home. Why I’m not applying to grad school or looking to make something of myself? What is my drive…am I gonna move out to L.A. to become a big-time filmmaker? I don’t have the answer to any of these questions.

I’m just existing…trying not to die, not to hurt people in any way other than my occasional rudeness which I’m working on…I want to feel good, avoid pain, have sex, be loved, make videos that touch people in some way, show people that I’m creative, prove to people that I’m smart who think I’m silly. What does it mean to be a success? When I had a job at SSA no one wanted me…now no one really wants me either who I consider relationship-worthy, but they taunt me with these questions as to what I’m doing with my life as if they

Actually, I think your problem is that the modern day definition of success DOESN’T elude you.

Pity. Maybe it should.

Have you ever thought about the fact that you are actually asleep right now? I know you think you’re not because you compare this state (ordinary "consciousness") with the FIRST state, that state we call ’sleep’, in the ordinary meaning.

And then, after 8 hours, you wake up. But not really. You simply ascend into the second state of consciousness.

The third state of consciousness is your BIRTHRIGHT. But you are so involved with "A" influence, you can’t get there. Very few people can. What persons in history have penetrated the third state of consciousness? Abraham Lincoln; Walt Whitman; William Shakespeare; Benjamin Franklin; Johann Goethe; Hans Christian Andersen; Lewis Carroll; Elizabeth the First;

"In the country of the blind, the man with one eye is king."

For persons who reach the fourth state of consciousness, their mind is raised to a level almost inconceivable. With those persons, their passing (like the wake of a ship) often creates RELIGIONS. Not that that was their aim. Their aim was to teach people to lift their consciousness into another realm.

And here YOU are, dicking around with THINGS. With idiotic pursuits as if they had any value whatsoever.

You’d better wake up brother. None of this shiit is free. You don’t know how many recurrences you have left. But you will always be re-living THIS life. The only one you know. Perhaps that seems rather tedious, metaphysically, to you. If you don’t start using the proper tools for waking up, making the correct efforts, getting help from some person, somewhere, who has already woken up, then you’re chances of escape are slim and none.

Pay attention to my sources. I’m not saying them for my health.

If the main purpose of life is ultimately procreation, then are the fittest in natural selection "fit", in the truest sense of the word?

In other words, many uneducated, unintelligent people spread their genes. Studies show that less educated people have, on average, more children.

If this is the case, then do we need to rework our definition of "fit" to mean something other than the smartest & healthiest? I know it is impossible to generalize, as many brilliant people also have tons of kids, but having lots of kids doesn’t necessarily correlate with intelligence, physical strength, etc.

Less educated people tend to have more children because of the lack of knowledge of birth control methods and the concept of family planning.

The prerequisites of survival and prosperity in urban life is extended to material wealth and family ties. If the parents are affluent, their offspring will naturally have more options at their disposition: a more conducive environment to grow up in, and more chances at a quality education which puts them ahead of the competition.

Hereby we can see that the children of accomplished parents will have better chances of survival and achieving success.

The weaker fox that manages to sneak in on the lone female while his two rivals are battling away can also have a chance at spreading his genes.

In a social environment, it is not always the most capable or talented that can get to the top rungs in the social ladder. Those with enough wit, enough resilience and enough ambition stand an equal chance of doing so.

In this sense, ‘fittest’ does not necessarily refer to mere physical attributes, but those who possess the ideal conditions.

what do you think the conclusion would be of their assumption for the definition of death?
life afterwords or beyond, eternal nothingness etc etc…

You don’t need great thinkers for that. We already have the answers.

Anyone who is intellectually honest knows death is when you cease to exist.
