I'm somewhat flummoxed. Only being allowed 3 reactors, and needing to produce two distinct outputs, as well as directing flows of molecules to two others, leaves me at a bit of a loss.
As far as I can tell, the only viable configuration has one reactor splitting the methane flow to the other two, one of which directs it to the 'clockwise' or 'counterclockwise' input, and one of which has to handle the entire fuel-synthesis step on its own. This last seems like a lot to do in a single reactor, given the need for both fission and molecular bonding, and two distinct products.
Any tips? | r/spacechem | post | r/spacechem | 2011-01-23 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VxQkxDLXpVUUNBeUg2LTA1U0twd2ZmUXd6ZzFGSnhuUG1MWnJhbWN6eDF4QU5OVjFEazB0LWFvQVhvYXA1NE9LUGhCdngtSlB2WUFWZkxySUR6NmVMdkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZoalhTX1pVQlBHNEZYa29MSU9IRWRyRWthVjlVWFZBNWJPTnBCaHh1QmNfMXhVZ2tIQUZvZm8xVkFzUUtBR1AyNXR0S0gwSHd0Z1h3RWpMRXp4NTRiX1FhME1xbzh5Y3drQUdCUVdKSm9ZUU1BcGxGQWJVZUVOODRCbTI0eThsZjV1LXRzdUQ0TUZpcFo3dl9qY0g0S0w0Njk3aVBCM0JCUXBranRGQkx2bXlVenEtYkZRTjNrcl80bjBqMlFzVEVL |

I was baptized and Anglican, and my Nanna and Grandmother tried to take me to church a few times as a child.
But I have memories of being bored silly by something that seems so pointless.
I never really adopted "Atheist" until some time in my teens, after reading so many "Ghost Stories" and books on Mythologies (Greek gods, loch ness monster, Yeti etc) I started to realize that these stories are all BS, which then seemed to lead to the same conclusions with all other religions.
Then about 10 years ago (am 36 now) I suddenly realized that most the religions around the world were just modified mutilated version of the same god/prophets (Islam, Judaism, Christianity) which just made the whole thing seem even more absurd and obviously a product of man.

I'm told that both my older Brother and Sister went to Sunday school.
My Parents never took me to a church except for a wedding or funeral, perhaps a christening.
I went through a time when I was curious about what it all meant when I was in my late teens that lasted a few years.
After many years I slowly firmed my realization that the idea of a god was simply so implausible so as to be ridiculous for anybody to assert any kind of faith regardless of how benign without me considering them deficient in some way.
I'm still a kind person because I was raised that way in a stable loving environment. I am neither rude or obnoxious. Not judging too harshly nor excluding of others. Not selfish or cruel or severe.
I am hopeful to the point of optimism. Happy to a fault. Giving. Peaceful. Mostly content. And Loved.
I am an Atheist and identify myself as a Secular Humanist. | r/thegreatproject | post | r/thegreatproject | 2011-01-24 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VxMVR3c3c3c0RldmNuakhjTy1BNmo2UnVSaVBHMWFGajd5OEdJRVp0dzF4QlprSEdJajRRVmQ2T1FndU9XR0d1SEFSUldTZzVLYkpPVWkwaG9wTmg1NUdKVzlYM3hFNHBtdVU3SGUxc2U3a2s9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZoTEo5Y1ZkYlJwTWVGUXpqZlBwSlpIVmZ0NU5IclY3TmZlTWpVME9scldUMTRYeVFHXzI0V01ubjl0MFBySFRsd3lQTVRZeVhwbENPSS0tcjRoSnBocloxYlNjeXRhRWdLdTh2bWZrVUd1NUxKZWxPTVhOcTA4RXQwQ2dBajV6ZHAzU09TS0l3MFhXSVBIT250WFJRN0tuTUdJLS1pMW91aTl2Y19TRlJaTU1vPQ== |
story time!
My parents got divorced before I was self-conscious; I was around 1. I spent a few years with my mom, then my dad, then split custody. My dad is very religious, and my mom isn't. But anyway, I lived the first 14 years of my life completely accepting the Christian faith. Around freshman year in high school, my mom (who had always had mental issues) began a self-destructive spiral. She became an alcoholic, did drugs, and cheated on 3 different boyfriends at the same time. After I had confronted her about this, I left her house, and stayed at my dads permanently. Somewhere along the ride, I lost my faith. After doing some research, I realized that I no longer believed in god, and lived my life as such. Out of fear, I never told my dad.
Fast forward 18 months and I am on the school bus with friends, taking pot-shots at the local mega-church. I didn't think much of it at the time, but the next day, I recieved a note from an attendee of this church, explaining how I offended her and how I shouldn't talk about her church like that. When I got home, I left the letter on my bookshelf. The next day, my dad and stepmom confronted me about it. (they had gone into my room, found a note with my name on it, taken it and read it). I didn't mention the huge violation of privacy there, but instead I backpedaled and assured them I didn't mean to offend anyone.
A week or so later, I had finished my response to the note, and sent it to one of my best friends (who is christian) for her reviewal. The letter basically explained that, I didn't believe in god, the discussion was in a semi-private setting and not directed towards her, and that I really wasn't sorry for what I had said. This is where I made my fatal flaw. I sent the letter through email. I had entirely forgotten that my dad and stepmom forced me to write down my email password. I made sure to delete the response from my inbox, but the letter stayed in my drafts folder, festering.
Two months later, I recieved a text from my stepmom asking "what religion I would call myself?" I lied and said christian. She then explained how she found my "atheist rant" and that "we needed to talk." Nothing transpired for a week or two, but then my dad confronted me. He spent almost an hour screaming to my face about how he didn't know who I was anymore, how I was stupid, how I was immoral, really terrible things. He was maddened by rage, and even implied death threats if I told anything
about my atheism to my sister (who is 10). I was scared shitless, and they took away all means of communication for a while, but I stole my phone one day and texted my mom. I explained to her what happened, and how crazy they were, and we had a good talk about all the stuff that had happened before. She apologized for her actions before, and explained how she was better now, and expressed her support of me holding firm in my beliefs. Feeling much better, I continued life as normal.
Two weeks after the inital confrontation, my dad wanted me to write a letter to my mom explaining how she hurt me, and how I needed her to make it better. (He convinced himself that my atheism was a result of shifting my anger and depression at my mother towards god, and that fixing my relationship with her would make me christian again). So, I wrote a letter explaining that I knew she was sorry for what she did, and why I believe what I do. My dad went off again. He told me that my mom was never there and that I was a stupid little kid who just wanted to love his mom, who was a fuck-up. I asked him "what would jesus do" in relation to forgiving my mom. He yelled at me more, said that he couldn't do anything to fix me, and made me pack a bag. He left with my sister and stepmom, and I was alone for two hours. It was the day before Christmas eve.
Being scared and alone, I called my mom. We talked for a long time and I cried, a lot. She said that if he kicked me out, she would make sure that I would still be able to go to my same high school, etc. I felt better, and finished packing my bag. When my dad got home, I explained to him that I love him and didn't want to leave. He said he wasn't satisfied with my answer, but my sister asking why he was making me leave made him decide to let me stay. So I unpacked. It was already planned that I was going to my moms the next day, but on the way, he tried to convince me that she never really loved me, and other things. I spent the day with my mom, her new fiancee, and my baby sister. It was the best day I had had in a month. My mom and her fiancee were very supportive of my decisions, and very loving. It restored my strength immensely.
When I went to my dads, I argued with him a little bit, but he eventually dropped the subject. Things have cooled down this last month, but he's been trying to convince me back into christianity with some bullshit apologetics book. I haven't yet told him it's all logical fallacies, and I know that discussion won't be fun.
This past two months has been really taxing on me, but my atheism is holding strong. The ordeal has vastly improved my relationship with my mom, and my support system of friends. I am lucky that things have died down a bit, but I think this story should be an example to all kids and teenagers: If you don't think your parents will react well to your atheism DON'T FUCKING TELL THEM. You don't understand the level of tension that happens until it happens. Hide your atheism, at least until you are self sufficient, and don't live with your parents, as it will complicate everything. But above all, be yourself. This life is too short to waste.
Well, that's all I have! Hope this was a good read, and can be of use for our little project.
Love,
A baby-eating scumbag | r/thegreatproject | post | r/thegreatproject | 2011-01-24 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VxNXlyS2pfbVBUQ21HMm1pVXdFQkhzZXgyR3I4ZkhSUXlTcERaaHVocWllYUt3YmZieHRRQkJ2LVlmRThjXzJVZWlweGVZNld2QlpwTm5fc1B5OWc2U1Z4ZEhzZnlDQlByZmlqaVgtclVTVlU9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZoZTNSR1QydzVNSkViQW1TZG9YdHNGdzNCRmxManNDdVZXUUN2TTdJMWVPVi0wZC1oODFHVU1LRko1ckFBWWpBUXFOeWNHRU5rSWtRTGRwRllYaEtOOGl3MERvYzhGR0lBd1kwcGJVQl9rUFl6SFlFTnE5eTZJOGpnRUs1RnYzQWdxc1JNb0MwR1RmWXVPcll4OVpwNS0tM3ByRFM5Tmc3TlZyM05jMFUxTXEtTk9uOS1kUWNsQ1haajlLTGtXTWtk |

...but it has been years since I studied physics. Mostly it has still been easy peasy F=ma stuff. But this questions has me confused:
"It can be said that 2kg equals 4.4lb. What does this statement mean? What would be the proper way of making the comparison?"

This follows on from [Fundamentals of Interesting Conversation](http://redd.it/eu8xu) - Read that first. This elaborates on where I mentioned preparing for conversations in advance.

*Small note for subscribers: Been super busy and not able to post lately. I will limit articles to one or two a week probably. Thanks for the support and kind PMs / comments - they really motivate me to write this stuff. Please mention topics you'd especially like me to prioritise on. I'll next focus on body language (2 posts), meeting strangers / picking up girls at bars, and how to control your orgasms during sex.*

**Teasing**
The biggest trick I'll mention. **Its very good to tease** - teasing somebody tests them and puts them in a position to show you their wit / reactions. It makes you look more confident that you aren't trying to please them. It is an easy way to joke with somebody. Usually people only tease/play games with others they are friendly with; so this can make you feel familiar to the other person. It is also a form of flirting, and everybody loves being flirted with to some extent.
Teasing works best on girls. Women love playing these games with men.
I only started doing this to the extent I do now about 6 months ago; and have noticed remarkable results since. Everybody now seems keen to come up and talk and is not shy to tease back. It is fun and light-hearted joking around.
Examples:
"I have three cats" -> "a third of the way to crazy cat lady then? ;)".
"I got a goldfish!!!" -> "I was wondering what I just ate".
"Sorry I smashed your wine glass :(" -> "No problem! For my birthday can you throw a brick through my window? ;)"
Notice the ";)" - say this with a grin, or you may suffer them thinking you are serious. When you get better and know somebody well you can avoid it and just do it deadpan - which is more fun and leaves you unpredictable.
People with low self-esteem may not like this - its best used on other confident people.
- **Tricks of the tease:**
- *Sarcasm*: but don't overdo it. E.g. "I have a goldfish" -> "Oh well that is sure a big responsibility ;)". Delivery and body language or the difference between being a dick or being funny when you do this. Don't do it all the time.
- *Unjust assumptions*: "I flew to LA last week, but couldn't find the airport" -> "Wow you have a poor sense of direction for a pilot." - Say these deadpan - make it unclear if you are joking or not. Leave the other person guessing your intelligence. If they think you are being serious then smile the instant they react as if they fell for your trap and you tricked them. Whether they believed it or not it will get a smile or giggle out of them.
- *If you tease too hard* and cause offence: laugh it off and don't apologise. E.g.:
"I'm pretty sure my Mother has that dress"
"SHUT UP! I just bought this and I really like it >:("
"Well don't worry I find it a lot more attractive on you than her, haha!"
">:("
"Come on, lets get out of here, we are going to be late" (while smiling and touching her arm)
"Urghh OK :)"
If you apologised then it would be a negative interaction, but this way it became a playful joke. You may mess up worse and end up in an salvageable position where you can't redeem yourself - in which case apologise sincerely and leave.

**Everyday try to think of something interesting that was/is/has happened recently or is a story in the news**
Prepare a few witty opinions of it or a way into another conversation topic. Nobody seems to do this, but it is so simple and you can jump into talking about it from any conversation topic as it is automatically made relevant by the fact it is recent.
E.g. "Blah blah blah cats > dogs" -> "Yeah! Oh by the way I was just talking to X about it - did you see the story about that ship that exploded?".
Its not as good as transitioning the topic gradually - but good enough to go unnoticed. It can look like you don't care about the previous topic so only use it when the you both feel that topic is dying. Don't do it too many times as it appears you had a whole conversation planned word for word and its not spontaneous.
---
**Leave before the conversation dies, not after**
And go talk to other people or do something as soon as you leave. If there is nobody to talk to then call a friend you've not spoken to in a while, or go to the toilet.
---
**Examples of Interesting topics**
Good news - you can make some significant progress right now just with a pen and paper. Think up some interesting topics which excite you or you feel passionate about. Ultimately a conversation topic is one which both you and the other person(s) are passionate about, so you can at least find topics in the first half of the Venn diagram right now.
To help you get started here are topics that appeal to me and I love to talk about:
- **Genetic engineering**: human cloning and consequences of it. genetic engineering being used today in industry. Arguing in favour for it against people who believe it is wrong. E.g. I have an argument that if you believe GM is wrong then you think selective breeding is wrong, and then you may as well have sex with a stranger blindfolded with earmuffs. I want to run a fast food chain which has resequenced T-rex DNA, grows its meat on a plate, and sells dinoburgers - would you eat one?.
- **The Future**: predicting what will be in store. Futurism. What people in the 1920s thought the world would be like in 2011. How can jet-packs work? Would we actually use them (they are dangerous)? -> then talk about extreme sports and skydiving and find out if the other person would like to try these things. Most importantly where will Brangelina be in 10 years?!
- **Psychology / Cognitive Science**: Everyone loves talking about it but few people know about it. Learn some cool facts. Read /r/cogsci, its great. Putting a dog in a workplaces office increases morale.
- **Childhood**: Nostalgia is the greatest sensation. When you were a kid did you have have Pokemon cards? I lost all mine in the washing machine and still haven't forgiven my Mum. When I was 13-17 I went to the woods everyday and built dens from logs. What is your earliest memory? I remember feeling rage and deliberately crashing a toy fire engine into my sister - I felt so good but then my Dad told me off (I was *this* close to becoming evil that day).
- **Family**: Express your love for them (Woos girls over easily). I never really felt close to my Dad until I went to University - then we got to speak about his work and stuff on the long car journeys. My Mum puts up with so much and is *so* emotional. I love my brother - I play computer games with him on holidays and he frequently spits his drink all over the computer monitor when something funny happens.
- **Tech Startups / Google / Facebook**: Most people aren't interested but when I find somebody that is we can talk for hours and both learn a lot. Everyone talks about Facebook though - will they take over the world? Would you care if they did?
- **Robots**: yeah!
- **Holidays/Travelling**: Avoid bragging but mention if you have been anywhere relevant. A great topic to move to is living on a desert island and what you would do / what items you would bring / what one person you could take.
- **Meaning of Life**: Evolution etc. Lots to say. What do you want to do with your life? What did you want to be when you were little? I wanted to be a cartoonist.

I have kind of caught a photography bug lately. I've been kind of looking for a new camera for a couple of years, but in the last few months, I've been doing a lot more research, reading, and thinking about what I want to do with my next camera. I've decided (especially since our cruise in June last year) that I really want to have more/full control over my camera than my point and shoot offers. Don't get me wrong, my Nikon S10 helps me take some great shots, but it doesn't allow me the control over focus, depth of field, shutter speed, etc. that I'd really like.
I've been looking at a next step up that would be reasonably priced and would allow me to experiment with manual mode shooting, and would give me some room to grow into the equipment. To that end, there are a couple of camera lines that have caught my eye, both of which are micro four-thirds: Panasonic Lumix G/GH series and the Olympus Pen E-P1. Both are reviewed comparably, comparable in price and features.
What do you know about the micro four-thirds format? It looks like a good mix of smaller size bodies with flexibility of being able to use many SLR lenses (some need an adapter). The price is attractive, and while it's a lot of money, it's not nearly as much as a full-featured DSLR kit. It's not as much to lose if I decide after a couple of years that it's not my thing (unlikely).
Do you have any camera review/comparison resources that you recommend? How about any resources for learning more techniques? I have a handle (although need more practice) on a lot of the composition rules/guidelines, but when I step up to a full manual camera I'd like to have a guide to look at as I get started | r/photoit | post | r/photoit | 2011-01-25 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VxUWhXanVKbW5YckhQZDdJV0FhdWFWX2kwSG03VUZQN2paYkxkVlRZT3drUUE2c3lSblRTelVvVndrenJ3eXNNcElqQ3pUcWNXV3FDOU5zQUdvVVlEd0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZoOUgtMnRhZzlGVnNoWVNhNlFLY3A3M29OVlRrNE1zYUR1d0N5S24yUXR2M1pxdUVSVUFZUGJDZlpTbEczZkpoME9OZkNLSzkxQ0xtTmZySk94a2JUVnl0a01lbTdlOEpUTGUtdjNXOF9HWG1aakhEY3ZNUlFTVHhCU3lsNDVFQ0RPeDh5dW8yS3lIQ0x5dFMtUWhBczB4MnlNNVJWRzJNX1NCbUVZRDNvdzZHNk54S09vcl9ZaXdlbV9aWHJHRTlhMmV4dkpaUzg1bWJMVXhTNGg5cDhzZz09 |
I finally admitted to myself what I knew all along--that gods do not exist, the bible is meaningless and full of contradictions and impossibilities, etc.--and it took me 40 years.
It was more a process than an epiphany. I recall a story (from Reader's Digest, IIRC) that might be illustrative:
A little boy had a security blanket. He would not go anywhere without it, even insisted it be near the tub within touching distance at bath time. Realizing he was getting much too old for such an attachment, his mother contrived a means of "weaning" him from the blanket.
Each evening while the boy slept, his mother unraveled one strand of yarn from the end of the blanket. Over a couple of months, the blanket reduced in size until only one strand of yarn remained, but the boy clung to it as he had the entire blanket.
One day, the boy was playing in a field near his home when unbeknownst to him the yarn became entangled in some briars and slipped away as he played.
Upon realizing the loss, he cried unconsolably for a while, but when his mother counseled him to the effect, "It was just a silly old thread. Why would a big boy like you want an old dirty thread?" The boy puzzled for a bit, then smiled, hugged his mother, and went back to playing in the field. He never missed or mentioned his security blanket again.
That is sort of how it was with me--the threads of irrational belief slipping away one at a time. I went through all the classic stages of grief when the last thread dropped away, but it was rather quick. Since then, I have been truly free for the first time in more than half a century. I would never go back.

Great post!
I started applying this to my conversations/banter. I sometimes find myself apologising though when I get to far. Lately, I've been doing a quick transition to another to avoid apologising.

I've always been the type of person to always question things, almost to the point of annoyance. Many nights of my childhood would be spent asking why X is this way, or why did X happen? Growing up in a predominately Christian community (suburb in Texas), I was born Buddhist, but went to a Catholic preschool. It took until 7th grade for me to truly question what I believe. I don't have a life-changing event that changed my viewpoints or anything, nor was I really all that religious as a child, despite attending a Catholic preschool and having many Christian friends. I pretty much just went with whatever, without giving much thought to religion at all. One day, I just came to the realization that I didn't believe in any higher power, and I had that thought with as much magnitude as if I had just figured out what I wanted to order at a restaurant (actually, probably with a little less magnitude).
So yeah, that's my boring story.
tl;dr- "Do I believe in anything? Huh, I guess not. I wonder what's for lunch today..." | r/thegreatproject | post | r/thegreatproject | 2011-01-25 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VxeFlSNlUtcElMNzhGWUtTaXk0YV9jQkxUQzMtMklBcHpSVHhncDVNTUJKYUNUdmxreThqeUItQk9KcDZCaXNXZWxSUHR0R3ZWNmwwQ0Zxd0tLQWNHb2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZpX3A3MjVvZVFnb2Nib3NzZThjSlU1bEFVR1lvcFZTR3dJVEw1ZktzejZTYXp1NjlmZDhUZ0ZrVWV3RU1EMWFYbTdoekxFa2FFLUc2YmcweTUyZXNnUlpSYTVlUTdiY0ZTa0tySTMtZkNqeThkRjJOZm5LekRVMnQ0NlJ6THJfVUlzZlhjTDZCSFZsSmY4UUxUSG1IQ0l0Mm1yOXJrZEtlYTB1NGM4aTM5V2p3PQ== |
Does anything actually happen at the end of End Of The Line? I was kind of expecting the enemy ship to blow up, or take damage or something, but after a while shooting missiles at it, the screen just seemed to jump straight to the "you have won" report.
I mean, it's nice that I won and all, but still felt a bit underwhelming.
Also, on this level, I'd be interested if anyone has come up with any properly satisfactory designs. The ones I've done so far are:
1) Ω-Psuedoethyne -> Ω (missiles) | C + H -> Xe | H2 (steering)
Ethylene -> H2 (missiles) | C, + Σ-Ethylene -> ΣC3H2 (2 of which are assembled in laser to form Σ-Pseudobenzene)
This works, but has a massive over-abundance of Ω, and as you aren't allowed to vent it into space, I needed several storage tanks for it. I think I lasted just barely long enough to kill the ship before all tanks were full.
2) Ω-Psuedoethyne -> 1/4Ω (missiles) | 3/4Ω + C + H -> Xe | waste Ω and H (sent to laser input B)
Ethylene -> H2 (missiles, via switched diversion to steering) | C, + Σ-Ethylene -> ΣC3H2 for laser as before.
The laser is used to annihilate the unwanted Ω and H, simultaneously to firing. It doesn't matter what else is in it, as long as the Σ-Pseudobenzene is present. Laser doesn't fire often enough, though, and the ΣC3H2 producing reactor gets backed up, which prevents the Ethylene processing reactor from continuing, which starves the missiles of H2, which stops the Ω-Psuedoethyne processing reactor, and therefore no more atoms for the Xe fusor, and no more laser. Deadlock. Again, I could usually just barely hold on long enough to kill the ship, but still unsatisfactory.
3) Forget steering. If you keep up a constant barrage of lasers the enemy ship is pinned in place in front of you. This freed up a reactor for scavenging the H2 waste out of the Xe Fusor, so sending just the Ω waste to the laser for annihilation. The H2 waste joins with the H2 output of the Ethylene processor to supply the missiles with the maximum rate of H2, allowing it to use 2/4 Ω from the Ω-Psuedoethyne processor, rather than 1/4, and maintaining a good barrage of missiles. Unfortunately the laser still can't fire fast enough to clear the Σ-Ethylene processor, so things still get backed up.
I'd be really interested to know if anyone has managed to come up with a stable solution to this level, with or without steering.

I was in Italy last summer on vacation staying on a olive farm. The owner gave us a tour and told us how olive oil is made. A major surprise to me was that a lot of olive oil isn't what you might think it is. His olives are sent to a local co-operative for pressing and he gets back 100% pure cold pressed olive oil to then bottle and sell. The co-operative then sells the left over olive pulp (pomace) for processing in a factory using solvents (mostly hexane) and heat. This processed oil is then usually blended with virgin oil and, depending on the country that it is sold in, can be marketed as virgin olive oil.
The farmer I spoke with says that his costs before profit are roughly 10 euros per litre (~$14 or £8), which means that if you are buying olive oil less than that price you could very well be buying processed olive oil and not the pure form that you thought. | r/oliveoil | post | r/oliveoil | 2011-01-25 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VxcGo2ckl5N01Rd0VjV0lXb3VUVGpaZTBMQXE4MkZQLVdBTEFjQ1FBLU1LVWNLdVZ3elMxS3BNaERhNHVnU0pYdmdoeGpMS2ZfQXlQVVdkSk5fTGF5Y0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZpdFduTmZBMGlWQ2RiVHQ3ZFRBLU1NRVNLR0hHbHgwQkQ0UHB3NHJ2bHBTYzl4Mmg1Qng4MUprMWUtZ3hOdGUycURnUFBHOHZBenBxUW5kbUVPQTh2bkhPN3R1bmtyNXpiLW54ZHFHbEhNMzA2M05xaXNCMWRrdVU3bERvVmpzZDkwTWtVbGpJQUo1NXhwcFdYSXhfYjRCQ1NabElCWGlkNERscHp0UVJIR1VzcnB0RDh0SHBNUDViTzZPS0tuVnFk |

I was raised Roman Catholic, had to go to church every Sunday, even taught by Nuns for 2 hours every Wednesday night after regular school. They called it CCD. Anyway, I was definitely questioning the validity of what I was hearing very early on, I'd say around 11 or 12 years old. I really can't explain why, I just always knew in the back of my mind that this stuff wasn't real. At age 13, after much begging and pleading with my mother, she said it was my choice to keep going to church or not. I stopped immediately.
But, just because I questioned the religion early on, and left the church, it still took years and years of my life to get that religious guilt out of my mind. The idea of some deity, hovering over me, watching my every move was still present even though I had completely stopped believing. I was simply brainwashed, bottom line.
I'd like to add that over time this lead to me becoming a strong anti-theist as well. The older I got the more angry I became with regards to religion. It is the single greatest lie ever told to mankind. I will not tolerate it's babbling zealots, I will not hold my tongue and walk on eggshells when the subject comes up in conversation, and it angers me to see my fellow man brainwashed into believing such nonsense. As a species, we are better than this.
(Edit: If anything ever becomes of this book, please contact me so I can provide my real name.)
Thanks,
Drexx

This is why I'm against the use of pharmaceuticals, ESPECIALLY when it comes to treating mental illness. Yes, sometimes these drugs can help "stabilize" you and help you get through the day, but they are by no means any kind of long-term solution or replacement for quality therapy sessions. | r/psychopathology | comment | r/psychopathology | 2011-01-25 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1Vxb0RHOE9aOW9MNTd1UUZxWEROV25keUQ3Y0FVcmJ2VkxhNjl3MUd2ZzItWmlvVTBkTUk1QlZPVDFJWmJDX0VXaXB5c2IxUUVySVRINkVCRXJ0WXhVMmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZpVV9iWUp2eEMtUUdwM0k0V2lDWF9iaDdVSFhoN05iQW5LalQ5cWVFZE5pSzFjcWt5R28zQUlYaHhWZGZySVdLMml3d0Q1VTQ4Rm9qZEk1OUZlTkpKZlh3RnJyRnc2U0V6REdkNVlkbVdhNUQ3bGZEUGFucHBOd2ZxRHFLd3hIbVlFLWNLWDZ4NGpiQm90cFRMSWY1YTR3OVVvZlFHX25VT3hXLXRxVlM5WElDcGkyMWlVUlZEWUxkb1pKZEtiY1c2 |
This article was published in an open access journal apparently created in March 2009 alongside about [200 other](http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01668.html) open access journals. Edit: It turns out that the first (very thin) volume of four total volumes in the journal was in 2007.
The article itself presents null effects from a single study, using a sample size that's not terribly large, and includes some variation in participants' history of stimulant consumption.
Thoughts about what inferences should be drawn from this study? | r/laymanjournals | comment | r/LaymanJournals | 2011-01-25 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VxTFNsR0pqSkRGRUdleFUxZUw5MUI5VllYNEFFc3FMTUhMaU5VT0lWZExOd2lCYURtenN0bE9DNm5FUTlQc3lSblg1ekVDaHhPZDdxQUd0WjlCa2ZSaWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZpdlV3NmhxeTQ1WFUwTjF1Slg0MFlENWk5eHFWTDRDX3R1LVpCYlhPWDRhVGJVdWM2X1pjZTlXcDdjZTJ3cTdBUXdHenhxSXFlXzZqbmhMWWpBNmZWc3BsUE5tY2FUZm1VeW5ZdlNDTXdFUkRYeFRQSW8xM2tBWTlzQW5ob25YWEZ6azRZREhHOWpGdXliTGlYcDVVR3AzSjBvYmlOanB0T1FvZkF6bWNsRGVMWExQU2NtUm5sZWNOSWNkQ2pDd0xyYnNzZWlXTHU3bE1SbkhmNC1VX3Q3UT09 |

I'm going to suggest erring on the shorter side this month since it's a short one and we're starting late.

Hi All. I've been stuck on this level now for about three days. Any hints as to the best way to set up the reactions?

We're a bunch of Computing students working with Cassandra for the first time so be gentle!
We're wondering how to get Hector working with Cassandra. We're using Eclipse if that matters.
A link to a tutorial or blog post or "this is how to get the evil hell thing working" would be nice!!

edit: i realise 20 or 30 years may not be seen as really modern, but the project is for advertising cider, so its a suitable age range.

[Reading Group Guides](http://www.readinggroupguides.com/guides_F/fried_green_tomatoes1.asp) offers a nice summary and list of discussion questions for the 1985 novel (and best-selling), *Fried Green Tomatoes At the Whistle Stop Café*, by Fanny Flagg.
This will be in association with the first [MeetLGBT movie](http://www.reddit.com/r/MeetLGBT/comments/fa583/meet_lgbt_movies_1_2_boys_beware_fried_green/) - the 1991 film adaptation of the book, *Fried Green Tomatoes*.

**Movie 1: Boys Beware**
[Boys Beware](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOxZDc0xtQU) is an anti-gay propaganda movie from the 1950s. It's a short (~10 minutes) film that I thought could be used for a good chuckle. There is also a [Girls Beware video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fAKo-i4jpQ), but that's about the dangers of men - not homosexuals.

**Movie 2: Fried Green Tomatoes**
Corresponding with [the second book](http://www.reddit.com/r/MeetLGBT/comments/fa507/meetlgbt_book_2_fried_green_tomatoes/) (*Fried Green Tomatoes At the Whistle Stop Café*), which this film is based on. It'll make for a nice book/movie comparison, especially since there's at least one key difference between the two (from the summaries I've read).

So I have about a grand set aside for camera upgrades, and I want it to go as far as possible. I'm going on a bike trip this summer, and before that, I want to get some new gear to bring along. I've got some time before the trip to shop around and lurk on craigslist for a good deal. My current setup is:
* Canon XSi
* The 17-55 (or whatever) kit lens
* A nifty 50/f1.8
* Sigma 10-20mm/f4-5.6
* A reasonable 70-200mm telephoto (I'm blanking on the exact specs right now)
The obvious hole in my gear setup is in the mid-range, so I thought dropping a dime on an L series lens (http://www.amazon.com/Canon-24-70mm-2-8L-Standard-Cameras/dp/B00009R6WT/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1296187006&sr=1-1) might be best. I did notice that there's a sigma with the same range and speed that's way cheaper (http://www.amazon.com/Sigma-24-70mm-Aspherical-Aperture-Standard/dp/B0009E1XF8). So my question is, is paying an extra $600 or so for the L going to make a difference, or should I use that money for something else? Should I be focusing on upgrading a different part of my kit? My body is another obvious soft spot, but I figure it's not worth it to upgrade until I can afford to go full-frame.
Edit: Thanks for all the advice! One last request, though: If you use the 24-70 and love it, please let me know if you're rocking a full-frame or crop sensor. | r/photoit | post | r/photoit | 2011-01-28 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VxWldjOEhrVE05eU1GRWdqUFN0YWU3VWU5bHlRc2l5a2I5YlZkLW1BNUFPOVNMaHRlT1I1TUdSaks3dGFjTFVqd1RaU01oRnlxZ2dFRkxSczVoRjNRUGc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZpTklMXzFiREVBcWJ5RmdPTHdFVmNWSXF0bEF4WmhXeXRvVy1mV21hQWZtd0ZtUkdhd0ItdVh6cXRObHU3U3EtR1p3WnB5SkFBZ0ZqSnZ3VHBWbGdLSU1jYzc5eXVTcWJqTHNicUJEbnlTd1VQZXJJUmpJQ3RMUnhVQ01nLXQ2LVB6eWJ3b3lyZWhlV0RkNUU0QnEzcms3M0NLWXdqWFlQSXJxX1MxbTFoNHNTTUc2a25WVUx3WEJFbW01TlU5TXJaZFhVTFQ5c0hEa2NBMDRuSXMtZVM3Zz09 |
When Linux was my main OS (how I miss you dearly!) I was a big fan of sampling ZynAddSubFx. The hardest part about linux Renoise IMO was the lack of good VST plugin support. Everything was really buggy.

###MeetLGBT Featured Member: January 28, 2011
#[kj57](/user/kj57)
>##Stats
>>* **Age**: 17
>>* **Gender**: Guyish
>>* **Location**: Suburb of Chicago
>>* **Pictures**: Here’s an (imgur) album of pictures of [me](http://imgur.com/a/nmVkS/428ZW), some were taken on a trip to Spain, one in Punta Cana, one at a Homecoming dance, and the others were just taken around town.
>##Life
>>* **Job**: I’m currently a Senior in high-school, so that’s my main focus (along with applying to college), but I also work part-time at a tutoring center. I also run the upperclassmen arts magazine at my high school as well as a human rights club.
>>* **Hobbies**: Photography, blogging (and reading blogs), reading, yoga, activism, playing the viola, technology
>>* **Pets**: Callie, a lab/hound mix
>>* **Political views**: About as liberal as it gets
>>* **Religious views**: Agnostic
>##What makes me _\_\_\_:
>>* **Laugh/happy**: I laugh at pretty much everything -- I’m the guy in the movie theater who laughs at a joke while everyone else is silent. I love all types of ethnic food, and I love eating out. I just really like spending time with my friends eating, getting coffee, shopping (for books, clothes etc.), watching movies or really anything.
>>* **Sad/angry**: There’s nothing that gets me more pissed off than intolerance. I just can’t deal with someone who’s homophobic, transphobic, sexist, racist, xenophobic etcetera. Maybe this comes from being in high school, but I really don’t like dishonest or “fake” people.
>##My Favorite..
>>* **Foods**: Hummus, pizza (deep dish and thin), sushi, any sort of pasta, burritos, greek salads, clementines, bubble tea, tapas.
>>* **Books**: Crank, Bel Canto, Ender’s Game, Memoirs of a Geisha, the Perks of Being a Wallflower, the Vast Fields of Ordinary, The Poisonwood Bible, A Game of Thrones.

>> I also love musicals: Les Mis, Rent, Next to Normal, and Last Five Years being some of my favorites.
>##Sexuality
>>* **Orientation**: Gay
>>* **Coming Out**: I’m out to some of my close friends and some of my family, but I’m not totally out of the closet yet, getting there though. I started coming out around May of last year, and I should be completely out (at the latest) by this May.
>>* **Relationship Status**: None to speak of!
>##Misc.
>>If people want to see, I blog on LGBT issues [here](http://lgbtetcetera.blogspot.com/), and some of my photos are [here](http://www.flickr.com/photos/kylealbert). If anyone wants to read my oh-so brilliant (/sarcasm) tweets they can [here](http://twitter.com/#!/kylealbert).

A friend completed "Split Before Bonding" with the atoms on the bonders in a square. When he hit Bond+, the Hydrogen atoms each bound to the Oxygens, even though the H's were right next to each other, having just been split.
What dictated that this resulted in a valid solution instead of the H's just re-bonding together? | r/spacechem | post | r/spacechem | 2011-01-28 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VxLVBpZGVWZF8yVURLakM0ejNORy1FeGhqc0tNZGl0WVZqdVNFdHBfWXpVV1Q3bVlDcVp0ZTE4NzJ4MlJFeEh3UHZjRE1tbVVWOHpocDF6QkFWSHE0ckE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZpLUpsTS1hXzhTZkdRVDVBSUZnZk9zaEo4dktZRmxjUlYya0tPWVctajZZNWhPUGZuMzdOelNSRzVpNVpNdnpEelc0bS1kUkxoQjFxOWtUR0M4SjdfWEtVUHNQT0MwT3VRLTN2NUl4Y2FUWWJYelJCYjNuLXdFVGZVOHYyMU5NanZnUEdGYXVlVkRySnpBalpEQ25wRFRhc1lSMUQzTWZ6NjFhcjNWRWhQZl9lN0JvNGRORFdqMS1RYTd3bFIzR19D |
I've got a couple of zooms (18-55 kit, and 55-200); and a couple of primes (35mm, 200mm), and I almost never find myself using the zoom lenses. I'm not sure if I subconciously prefer the exercise or what, but I find that if I'm trying to use a zoom, I'll almost never take a shot - it always seems like distortion is high, my aperture choices are too limited, and the colors even feel washed out. With my primes, I'll snap constantly once I've got a shot planned out. Is there something I'm missing with zooms besides convenience?
tl;dr: Prime lovers speak up! Death to zoom lenses!

"Just kidding" always seems weak to me when I hear people say it. I try to avoid it. If a person doesn't seem to realize that you are lightheartedly teasing them, I think there are better ways to communicate that to them. Any time you have to tell someone that you're teasing them, it means you probably went too far, so calibrate from it and make it happen less often. | r/mansformation | comment | r/mansformation | 2011-01-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VxOGdSR0ZMZGFqTVlpV3FTMVczMWR2Q0Z2Mm1hTDItRmhWUGJveWM3UXpXMVRGektxLWkyQTJYeTd3N1J5dkxYX1dJTEs3ajhFT25Nb2YtTFhIRE1FUHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZpZGFrZmdyNkd0YmZIU3FrUDU2WXdsRktQeHhQaXJTWURJTmgzV1ZacTM0SVNHbUg1ZGlhU21sakhfLTVjZzhzUWJoNS1LX1JpMl9tWk55Um15UFBvSFRaUGR2V0VqSWc3WjUzaEFjZHhoMmdCN29na1Y3ZTNVWTZxNDhoUTJ6dDZ1UDRhQTJrbUJ0d0U2Z0pIcHdLa1B1a05lNTFnZDBnUzl4ZDFNTUstREZqNXF3VV9Vd0pZLWNaTE9OdEY3TmlB |
I work telephone support, graveyard shifts, so I get a lot of UK based phonecalls. This happens to me every single phonecall. The best way I can describe it is "spamming" me with byes and goodbyes. The normal call endings sound as such :
Me : Alright, that should fix the matter.
Them : Ok, thank you! bye bye bye!
Me : You're welcome, is there anyth..
Them : Bye bye bye goodbye bye!

I could probably find the answer in Wikipedia - but I'm lazy. The last time I looked at neural networks was 20 years ago. What I remember is that there were two definitions floating around. One was heuristic, and the other one was based on an equation (differential, I think) derived by some guy at Cal-Tech. Can someone tell me if the latter version has become successful, and what is it's name, or were can I find it? | r/compmathneuro | post | r/compmathneuro | 2011-01-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VxVHl0VUVHTW5lQzZKUnlQd0pkRE96b2d4dDZzSWhrMGowVHRiTmUxV21nUDZ4Zk5UbmNUazBieVZ1dE5uZ2U2ZVdXNmtmTVJvRXJRQ3BOdWxOQmxiRFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZpWlBWTHp3MVBlVWVSaXQ4NndGSzk2OV9NV213QlBxMk9FWEYxdEFHQWFyZzJ0cmU4U1puS0llQjBONkNkQWFlNVdmbDhwU3JKZFE4QlNZMFhmWjVOVG9zdFRzc0RjLUZ0ZzFfYVRPQjRYNkQtZHF5VjRUM2drZXVFTmVMY29xa2U2OTNTRjF6dzFfcHZySmNMTTFlTzBnaU9TVGtxay1GQUprNUMzUXpwbjlnPQ== |

This website looks like a great resource for someone who's relatively far into the world of parallel programming. For a beginner like me, I appreciated the early discussions. But I wish the explanations of more advanced concepts were clarified (or references to other resources were provided). For example, it'd be nice to see a walk-through explanation of correctness for something involving paired read-write memory barriers. | r/systems | comment | r/systems | 2011-01-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VxMi14RjM2c2lYUzBJUWdrbGNTdlBoT2R4VW4xNjNua3YteklLUzN6eTBWcG1NajRzampXNFliWnp0TW5PNGN5cnNIV0V6cXd4QkJYQnRsSGJHd2N3WWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZpREd6MHpvUXpURnotOTE2UkR0eDdjSkdNQVp0bjVzXzhMcmM0Nm5MUmFVZGJtRzhNN3JHbTV6OUZQSWlOSks2b3lPZ3lqcUstOUxHUWYtRE9neENHSDhleXY2cHk5Y2tQQTJJVmUzT2pxT0VlMWZrZGlmUlp0Z3FJanhkbEQxeVJDVHZOQmhEb0pWWjNKWkRIVnQ4ZzZQSm5DR0dqWnFLOHFMQ050ZU9BbS02bDlCcHZnWUlVdVgxWUhrekJGRkxrd0ZXZURGM2hVSEs1SGpWTUdzQzFjQT09 |

#[kites47](/user/kites47)
>##Intro
>>My name is Josef. I'm a gay 16 year old high school student with aspirations to be an actor of the stage. Thanks in advance for reading this, and feel free to ask whatever you want!
>##Stats
>>* **Age**: 16
>>* **Gender**: Male
>>* **Location**: Upstate New York
>>* **Pictures**: I hate this picture, but it's the only recent one I have: [Me and Usa-Chan](http://i.imgur.com/MxPiF.jpg). Here is an older photo as well: [Old](http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs007.snc4/33716_10150107126653298_707588297_7503777_3568526_n.jpg)
>##Life
>>* **Job**: I'm currently a high school student. However, though they aren't technically "jobs", I am in two shows right now. One is called The Laramie Project, which chronicles the murder of gay Wyoming resident Matthew Shepard and also the effect it had on the community.
>>
The other show I am in, I simply have an ensemble part, and it is Anyone Can Whistle. I am one of Cora's boys. I absolutely love theatre, it is truly my passion. I want to major in college at NYU in theatre. It's something I want to do for the rest of my life. I understand how non-practical it is, but it's worth it for me to at least try, because if I don't I will never, ever, forgive myself.
>>* **Hobbies**: My hobbies are quite ranging. I love to read, especially philosophy (Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Socrates, etc.) I enjoy novels such as Ender's Game, and I love to read Shakespeare's plays. I am very involved in the arts. I draw and I paint and I sculpt.
>> I also play around ten instruments, but the one I excel at the most is piano. Piano, for some reason, has always just been the most relaxing, soothing thing for me. I started playing when I was 4 and I've kept playing to this day. I also love theatre and acting. There is nothing I'd rather do than act/sing/dance on a stage. My other hobbies involve video gaming, video editing, dancing (clubs, ballet, swing, etc.), and DnD (Don't judge!).
>>* **Pets**: I have my two cats that I absolutely adore.
>>* **Political views**: I'd say I lean towards being more liberal, but at the same time it doesn't mean I necessarily agree with everything most liberals/democrats stand for.
>>* **Religious views**: I'm a Christian (of sorts). I'd rather not get into it more than that.
>>* **What makes you _\_\_\_**: My friends make me happy. They bring so much joy to me, and they support me in every way. My family is absolutely amazing as well.
>> One thing I will say is that it takes a lot to make me sad. The one thing that has brought me the most sadness is my father passing away when I was only 10 years old. It's definitely helped me mature and grow as a person, but I miss him more than anything. He was the kindest, most giving person I ever knew. I don't think he had a single enemy in the world. I'll never stop missing him.
>##Favorite things
>>* **Books**: I already got into my favourite books above, but I'll add Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close to my list above.
>>* **TV**: As far as TV, I don't watch much. I enjoy How I Met Your Mother and Queer as Folk (UK).
>>* **Movies**: My favourite movies are Donnie Darko, Beerfest, Edward Scissorhands, 2001: A Space Odyssey, V for Vendetta, and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.
>##Acting
>>* **Favorite Plays**: I would also like to get into my favourite plays, because that is where most of my interest lies. Most of them are rather cliché, so I'm sorry.
>> Billy Elliot is my absolute favourite musical of all-time. That will NEVER EVER change. If you haven't seen it, GO TO NYC AND SEE IT RIGHT NOW!
>> I also love Wicked, Rent, Spring Awakening, Little Shop of Horrors, Sweeney Todd, Oliver! (one of my favourites!), John Ferguson, Dog Sees God, Macbeth, A Chorus Line, and of course, as mentioned above, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.
>>* **How did you first get into acting?**: I've always loved shows ever since the first one I saw. As I grew older, I knew I wanted to act on a stage. I was home-schooled my entire life until 9th grade, so when I finally went to public school I found out they did a musical each year.
>> My freshman and sophomore year I wanted to try out for the show SO bad, but I was much too nervous. I thought I'd never get a part. I'd never sang anywhere but my shower, and even there I was quiet.
>> Well, my junior year, I finally sucked it up. My school was doing Little Shop of Horrors. I auditioned. I honestly was barely expecting ensemble. I felt I did decent at the audition, but there were kids obviously much better than me.
>> The following Monday I rush to the cast list to see if I got a part. I start at the bottom. Ensemble? I'm not there. Secondary Characters? Nowhere to be seen. Supporting characters? Nada. I got really upset, but then I decided to see who got cast as the leads. My eyes drift to the top of the page and I see "Seymour Krelborn - Josef(me)". I nearly screamed with joy! My first show ever and I snagged the lead! From there on I just absolutely loved getting into acting. I started ballet and vocal lessons, and it just completely sprung out from there.
>##Sexuality
>>* **Orientation**: Heterosexually challenged. (a 6 on the Kinsey Scale; only dick for me)
>>* **Coming out**: I grew up in a very religious, homophobic environment. I didn't realize I was gay until I was maybe 14. I had realized the only people I fantasized about were dudes, but somehow it didn't click that I was gay. When I realized that I was in fact gay, I tried to deny it. I dated a girl for six months, but I was disgusted when we'd do anything more than hold hands.
>> When I finally admitted I was gay to myself, I told a few close friends. They were the most supportive ever, and they mean everything to me. They helped me finally figure out who I was, and it was amazing.
>> I actually didn't come out to my mom until a few months ago. I was afraid she'd hate me. She'd never talked fondly of gay people before. When I told her, it was a shock for her at first. She wished I wasn't, she asked if I could suck it up and date girls instead. I was devastated, but the next day, she met with a lesbian friend of hers in one of her classes (she's in college) and talked to her about it. My mom completely changed 100%, and over the next few weeks she became my biggest ally. Defending and fighting for me no matter what. She has always supported me in everything I do, and I don't know what I'd do without her. Coming out to friends has been easy, 99% are totally fine with it, and the 1% that aren't are still at least respectful.
>>* **Relationship status/background**: Single. I dated a boy for the first time, it was amazing, but he dumped me due to his being stressed out. A month later we dated again and he swore he could handle the stress, but he dumped me again this Christmas morning. So I guess I'm living the single life for now.
>##Misc.
>>I can't really think of anything else to say besides ask me whatever you want! I'd love to talk more, but I want to know what you want to hear! My life has had a lot of ups and downs, from me going three years with doctors thinking I had a fatal disease, to relatives deaths, to miraculous inspiring stories, and meeting celebrities.
>> One of my most touching stories is how my father passed, it sounds like it's straight scripted from a romantic tragedy, but I promise it's true. I have a lot to say and I don't want to bore you, so tell me what interests you! Thank you for reading this!

Has anyone come up with a layout to store as much single atoms in the output area as possible? The best I came up with was eight of sixteen cells, but by then it started to crash and I would have had to mirror the system stowing the atoms, which was impossible (no space). Also, they need to be **singled**, as bonded atoms are not allowed. User control is a no go because I need all four for *other stuff*.

Would anyone be interested in doing a Valentine's card exchange?
---
Edit: So there's interest (yay!) In the comments below:
1. Indicate if you want a virtual (e-mail, imgur, etc) or physical valentine (snail mail - something like a post card, or whatever type of valentine you'd want to send)
2. Post some quick info about yourself (just a few keywords that describe you is fine).
3. From there, it'll be self-pairing. PM anyone you're interested in exchanging with to get contact info. You can exchange as many as you'd like :) | r/meetlgbt | post | r/MeetLGBT | 2011-02-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VxNHBMVlBpX241di03Z1FrVWFuSkNoaVZRNmdKeGZCc0NNaFhEZ0VFa1dTRUVNdGt6LU10dFZpT0VqT0hTY09nTnYwZ1E4U0VOcTdSb0doWjBmcUhBalE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZpZHBodWdIU0NhSEFkNkNic3VrWXdxQV9tclpwXzBMWmh1NlVuaERhcl9XZ3ZXLTZ2UVRBbFdaelpYRDVyNmdpanZPWWJDU21uUzBYRnMwYXdFQVlNT1N4dDh1WnJQakVIa21QZS1RbXMtcERnRjZoMG9rM3ZFVlAwWXpLSTNzRE9hUWUwT2pvWVJLaDQyck1qcHN6WnBCLXFuUW5naHdabjhHUmJnVXZaWXpjPQ== |

Here (in green) are the recently reported links and articles. I don't think that banning is a solution, but judge for yourself and let me know which comments should get banned.
If anybody hasn't read my take on it yet, here it is:
I would prefere if bad comments would get a reply with an explanation instead of being reported with the intention to get them banned because most commenters won't realize that they got banned and will continue their distracting behaviour.
So, banning doesn't reduce the noise level, only commenting does. I even think that "the way of moderation" increases the noise because reporting is easier than replying. If reporting is an option, replies will disappear and some people will start feeling comfortable to write anything.
Of course, it's possible to increase the number of moderators so that any inappropriate comment gets banned, but how is this different to downvoting? After all those wikileaks submissions, how can the intransparent way of banning be an option?
-
Please feel free to add links to recent comments and submissions that haven't been reported but that should get banned.

Maybe this is the wrong subreddit for this, and if it is i'll gladly move it somewhere else, but I recently purchased a Canon T2i and I've taken some pictures that look great on my LCD screen but when I put them on my computer the colors seem dull and gray. I've been using a free trial of Adobe Lightroom for now, and I don't know if maybe that is doing some kind of auto adjustment to account for the mostly-snow pictures I've been taking or if it's just my monitor needs to be calibrated...does anyone use some special software to help them figure out what is right?

Who would have thunk that when [licenseplate](http://www.reddit.com/user/licenseplate) posted the [Red(dit) Lobster illustration](http://www.reddit.com/r/Dogfort/comments/f6n7i/camouflage/) that it would hit the front page and people would start speaking of shirts and charities? Well... maybe that was expected since it's been mentioned quiet a few times here, but that's not the point.
When we actually decided to [run with the idea](http://www.dogfortdogs.com/), [licenseplate](http://www.reddit.com/user/licenseplate) took the reigns and got everything set up and did all the dirty work like setting up the site, getting a screenprinter, and handling the money, while I tinkered around in the shadows a bit and did a lot of promoting. In the beginning I thought we would have sold maybe 200 shirts. [licenseplate](http://www.reddit.com/user/licenseplate) guessed on less than 50. We were both wrong, however, and we sold over 800 shirts! In a week! Even people who have never heard of DogFort were snatching them up. I hear one person bought 9 at once. Wowza.
I don't know what [CorgiAid's](http://www.corgiaid.org/) average donations are or how much it really takes to help one corgi, but I am sure $4000 will do something amazing for at least one pup, if not more.
I don't have **exact** numbers yet until licenseplate has everything sorted out tomorrow. I also don't have any word from [CorgiAid](http://www.corgiaid.org/) yet, though I contacted Peggy who is on the board of directors. I will add any additional information I receive in an edit below.
All you guys should give yourselves a pat on the back and hug your dogs if you have one. Everything that happened with this was complete awesomeness. Hopefully we can do this again for another charity if you are all up for it and not worn out from this run.
P.S. I am not sure if it is still happening, but I heard from [licenseplate](http://www.reddit.com/user/licenseplate) that there is going to be a special gift with each shirt. But, that's all I am saying about that. Don't wanna ruin the surprise.
EDIT: There IS a surprise coming with the shirts. Intial donation will be $4372.50 ($5.50 per shirt). Exact amount of orders placed is still unkown. The above figures would suggest 795 shirts ordered, but licenseplate says there are over 800 orders.
EDIT 2: 803 orders in total. 8 are pending due to snail mail.

* It's nice reading old, classically hard SF. Mid 20th century, British, post apocalyptic works are some of my favourite. (I've read nearly all of John Wyndham's works, and alot of Fred Hoyle).
* The time differences are obviously due to rotational velocity. Too far out on the rim, and you're spinning fast relative to the people inside, so relativistic effects come into play. My only issue is that I dont' get why the differences were so large (other than plot reasons, obviously). If the disc was rotating at the rate Earth is, that wouldn't cause that kind of dialation, I don't think.
* Actually, this is all just math, so in principle, I can figure out what differences in rotational velocity would need to be experienced to produce that kind of dialation.
* To take that a step further, we could in principle write a little model viewer to translate models in accordance with the scale of the translation, to see what that kind of translation would actually do to a person's shape (rather than relying on generalities such as "tall and thin").
* If there were other forms of these phenomena, assuming they could get to them without being killed, in principle? At the end, Elizibeth implied they were still using technology based on this principle.
* What's going to happen to the un-translated Earth when the city goes down past and gets translated to be bigger and bigger? I doubt they're going to enjoy having an infinitely sized traincar growing out the side of the planet.
Anyway, excellent pick. I love classic hard SF. | r/sf_book_club | post | r/SF_Book_Club | 2011-02-03 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VxQ2ZQVzRaeGk1OVZDOVJUN1BsRkZNSWRZWno0QmgxaXVTSUtvVFRsb1p4X3hmcTE5WUFJWTFTcll5NC1obklPemVNS2ZJR2FnWFRCN3FGcjRlTUxnRFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZpVTJXYzNta0RaUEtmdUhLd1pVVzZFOTQ0M3gtMXYzMmgwbkRYU2VnRklVdmZaRU16ZWVQQXhUNzRnSXVQYVFCOThFenVlcXhUT3Z6WXFUTDdETnc4UUJDR1g4N0E1bmc5cHBqbWh1cy1KeE1wZmxKMmItb3N6LVZ6M0NGbW1MTEhROGRyUmIzb09IZTVUWUFOOFBtd1dXOURTeF9QdjlaQUFXT2Z2bUQtN290RU9WcHpqeTZzd244dXJMWlp4QmpU |

I'd love to try it but they're too expensive for most people and I've never seen them demoed at any festival or outfitter. I think they need to do what Creature Craft does and just hire people to take them down rivers. No one can afford CC either, but at least their interest is peaked. In my area, very few have even *heard* of packrafting and [it does look fun](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnlDP-sfddU).
I think the biggest question/problem for me is that it's basically a bucket boat but you're sitting on the floor?

[Pic 1](http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150112504375429&set=a.10150112504340429.320578.687145428) [Pic 2](http://l12.sphotos.l3.fbcdn.net/hphotos-l3-snc6/hs012.snc6/166259_10150112535510429_687145428_8114631_3952404_n.jpg)
>>* **Political views:** Left and right. Sometimes radical, sometimes militant. In fact I hate the way there's a dichotomy in the zietguist of running the county, it's far too limiting. I've even heard someone say once on TV "Although a sensible idea, they can't do that with it being far too left for the party." !
>>* **Religious views:** Slightly spiritual, but I think if there is 'something', it's so far removed from our experience that we wouldn't "get it"... I'm not a fan of holy books either, after learning their histories, and how they came about. (do books have a word like 'heraldry'?)
>>* **What makes you _\_\_\_:** Snuggles on a warm Sunday morning are good. I like humour I've not heard before. It's annoying, but I can't laugh at something I've become familiar with. =( it looks like a skill a lot of people have. I get angry with my mental health... it's holding me back!
>##Favorite things
>>* **Snuggles.** (I may have mentioned them).
>>* **Movies:** I love horror movies, and sci-fi's.Watching them in bed with my partner on the laptop is ace.
>>* **TV:** I don't watch TV... I used to be hooked when I was little, but then I discovered the internet, and TV got worse. Probably not helped by having seen things online that took a long time to come on TV. I suppose part of it was catching up with the back catalogue of films I used to watch on TV, but caught up with online.
>>* **Books**: I love reading though at the moment I don't have time. I like the interesting angle Robert Rankin brings to his stories, sometimes I prefere the more sensible Terry Pratchet. Stephen King's wrote some awesome ones. Isaac Asimov and Arther C. Clarke. We've got several book-shelves of those, and various other books mixed in.
>>* **Food**: I love spicey food, and I'm ADDICTED to vinegar, and various derived sauces. It's been an obsession since I can remember. Salt and enough vinegar to make my chips swim! (Little known fact - not everyone is sensitive to salt, in that it doesn't raise their blood pressure... it's just told to everyone as it's simple that way. So find out, and if you're ok... salt up!)
>> I love Tabasco and other hot sauces. I used to have something call John Smiths (Jown West's?) hot sauce... it was chillies that were dippable, and delicious with prawn cocktail crisps... sadly they don't sell it anymore. =( Another one I miss is Curry Twiglets - they were delicious.
>>* **Drinks**: As for drinks - I live for coffee, and very weak Robinsons Apple and Blackcurrent really watered down. I used to enjoy Vodka Source Orange, but they stopped selling too!
>##Sexuality
>>* **Orientation:** Pansexual. Mostly attracted to MtF lesbians. Some guys are cute. I think it's no doubt down to my insecurities, but I have a hard time "clicking" with cis-women.
>>* **Coming out:** (feel free to skip this!) Disaster through and through. Self harm was spotted, then I came out as transsexual, then I came out as having a mtf partner... though at that point everyone was hopelessly focussed on the trans part to have even thought what having various genders and orientations of partner would mean. My sister refused to acknowledge me, and used my old name around her friends, and when introducing me to new people. My mum threw me out (she let me back after a week of sleeping on a friends floor)... she had BPD - so she ran really hot and cold with the whole situation. My dad vanished at 11, so he wasn't an issue. Several friends refused to support or acknowledge it. I eventually OD'd and the same people accused me of being selfish, accused my partner of being a bad influence to me, and how dare I do something like that when there's sick people in the world...etc... I got sacked from work via some very sneeky things.
>> It did get better... but took many years, and I'm left as a recluse... I can chat to people and have a laugh - but I'm emotionally disconnected from everyone but my partner. The doggie I mention - I'm far more attached to her than anyone else besides my partner. Do I want to be more sociable? No. I'm happy how things are. But I do feel I'd be more secure in my life knowing more people closely. Right now it's just my partner and me, and if anything bad happens we could be on the streets with no one to turn to. Ah! Get some friends then, people have suggested. But no way! I'm not making friends with people just in case I need them as a safety net. It's a horrid idea!
>>* **Relationship status/background:** I've known my snuggle-boo just over 9 years now. We first met when I read on her transition blog that she had just lost her mum right before Christmas. I Emailed to say that completely sucked. We got talking. She visited, I visited. Some time later we moved into a mouldy, damp two room house. The rent was cheap, but the sun never came in through the windows, and the air reeked of mildew. It didn't help us while we were transitioning.
>> She's been asexual for nearly ever, and the last three or so years, I've headed in that direction. Until then it was an open relationship. As part of that openness, my partner found she needed to be dominated emotionally - a kind of very specific sub/dom thing. I wasn't a dom, so she found one. We thought it was a weekend thing, but it turned into another partner. Lots and lots happened though about 2 years later, they're living apart again -a kind of break-, and my partners living back with me. I knew there was no point in trying to keep hold of someone that didn't love me, but that was the hardest thing I've done in a relationship. To know she came back though... it made me happy to realise I'm not a bad partner after all. =)

I help two people feed and assist a feral cat colony. I noticed one of the cats had a wound on one of its toes. Trying to describe by phone this wound to one of those people, I saw the light turn on...
Both primate opposable halluces would collide between themselves when normal hominan bipedal walk.
A note to be considered is that it is just a *ultimate* cause, that is, it wasn't the primary reason. The very primary reason could be an evolutionary gaining and specialization of a dual combined locomotion, arboreal locomotion (brachiation), plus terrestrial locomotion (bipedal hominan locomotion); but, then, the definitive initial reason of the development of orthograde bipedal gait was the evolutionary specialization of prehensile (arboreal, brachiating) hands and forelimbs in other tasks than terrestrial or arboreal locomotion at all, that is, the definitive initial reason of orthograde bipedalism was the specialization of prehensile hands and forelimbs in different skills of object manipulation.

FYI:
>Researchers believe that three of the most 'basic' executive functions are: shifting, updating, and inhibition.[21] Shifting back and forth between different tasks is considered a very important mental behavior involved in executive functioning as it involves active disengagement from the present task and engaging in a new task.[22] Updating is believed to be involved in working memory (closely associated with the function of the prefrontal cortex.[23]), where the information that is active needs to be updated by replacing old, now irrelevant information with new, relevant information based on the objective.[24] Inhibition involves controlled and deliberate impedance of automatic, predominant responses.[25] | r/psychopathology | comment | r/psychopathology | 2011-02-03 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VxY0tBY2dtZ0lYYXhOVy1nVlA4b2M1MGxaNjZob2h1R2RzdzJ4S3JBanRmMjZ3eGhaVlhpaTVqSmotc1ZRQS0xeGFRUXhKMnRFWHVDeUhpTVRDZHdRNFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZpaS12YjZvcXU2WC1xdUFmOGJoY0lzdDZIYnVkLUZsNFVXZFV1R3Rkb3NscFJ1TTZOZUwtQUM5VkZmaTdoTXhuVkZOaGpZckp4QTB2QnBhb0RVNHY0VHNqM0dRYVlRQUZ6SHBaTWpyQ2g0bGZMQjhzakRHOUlNQ05lUVM3alViNUlJUTFpSGZnMkduOE96QmVBeEZocnhkR0tDbXJocTFWMWhhOVI5OEtmSFRvVHEtejFMa2ItX3BiTGltbDl0UmNXNnlkblcxbFN3Vld2ME4yVGxWMzRZZz09 |

This is my first question in r/photoit. I am coming here for advice so please be gentle. I am by no means a "professional" however I hope to get there some day. Currently I take photos for friends. I recently received some studio equipment for Christmas.
* Continuous flood lights
* Strobes
* soft white umbrellas
* black&silver umbrellas
* lighting stands
I have been attempting to use my white backdrop. It seems like after I process the photos and they are developed using good equipment such as noritsus; that the photos have red or cream tints to them. They don't appear that they are true white.
[These photos](http://imgur.com/uavbU&S8Y9J) were taken with two continuous flood lights directed at the backdrop and then two strobes in front of the subject (one on the right, one on the left) with the camera in the center. You can see in the photos there is a slight red or cream tint to them.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to adjust lighting so that the white will actually come out WHITE when printed. I don't mind processing tips but it's nice to get it right when you take the photo so you don't have to spend too much extra time after the session.
tl;dr
White backdrop is coming out with cream or red tints after processing. | r/photoit | post | r/photoit | 2011-02-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VxV041N1I1NkpscEtrbTAtd3hjMzh3WkR3bnRSclZHbFBzamZNQ0hTSTg3TER3MklsS0hwOFVLV2Q3XzhVMkZndi1jYUVmX3JEYzdFTXhXUDlXVVkxU2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZpRTB6SzlUWnhRdU9UaUVpT0VaRWtlMW11eldjM2cyNkhvQXNDOElsMXR4OXZWRGh6Nll5cTAtNmNTY1FDaEVuOThqXzFLZWRGaGp0cmI4bjNWdTZ3NzctbnpvVlBVMmJiN2kxVmc1UE1PSnZHNmdjSkUzdGR0QmU2N21hbkVLMVhVUXluNkZveHd0RG0tazJqMUJ6NGlVaXJWcXlTazhwX01UMVJDSXprTmFMR0NicC1aZzZjbFpBWDVKNjJDYnVt |
I am sure this is a very basic question. When I am shooting in manual mode with auto-ISO turned off, does the metering in the camera actually do anything?
I believe the objective of metering is to set the aperture, shutter speed and ISO to obtain the proper exposure.
The reason I ask this is that I have been shooting almost exclusively in manual mode with auto-iso off for quite some time and want to see if I am missing the boat on something.

Hi, everyone! As you all know, our first-ever fundraiser was a huge success and in a little over a week, we raised $4,372.50 for CorgiAid. WOW! This doesn't even include our donation we will give once we see what's left over after postage fees.
This is what CorgiAid just sent me to preview/approve as an official response, and I was just so excited to hear it that I couldn't wait to share it with you guys! (Yes, you will be getting this in an E-Mail, too, if you ordered a shirt...so if you want to keep it a secret, close your eyes!):
**___________________________________________________________**
CorgiAid has authorized grants for 14 dogs in 2011, and it's only the 4th of February!
Each and every person who bought one of these delightful t-shirts has made sure that CorgiAid is able to say "Yes! We can help!" to those 14 dogs and the many, many more that will need help this year.
Think of it this way, CorgiAid supporter, you made sure that 14 corgi and corgi mix dogs
are spayed or neutered.
have their necessary vaccines.
are free of heartworms and fleas.
are micro chipped.
You paid for antibiotics, teeth cleaning and extraction, skin scrapings and diagnoses, insulin and even treatment of a dislocated hip!
We couldn't do all this without the support of EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
The Board and staff of CorgiAid, Inc.

I've had reasonably good luck checking guns, but keep in mind that it's a little bit nerve-racking. Losing weapon is considerably more stressful than just a bunch of clothing. One would assume this is less stressful when using a 100$ flare-gun or stripped slide than a $1000 actual-gun, but still... | r/tipoftheday | comment | r/tipoftheday | 2011-02-06 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VxR1A1SG1qNVJJOEpUQjhPWjlGaGFKRkdaNzVieXZReDF1QUg3bk5Qc1BlN3c4ZWkwZ1lhS05BN2MyRFgyQzByWUtOd2N1QXZCcmo5WVJfZEVJYzhJV0hIdEt4TElFVWhUYUwtU0VSbFRSXzA9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZpZk9QaHoyZ0NxdWU0Z3QtZlFGYzhiOE5WTllYaE84ekIzam5lbENhRDVGbG1fU0wtY1p2bG1IZnpVM1ZHVlo4SUlzaXdqckpYcGZ2amNTdWFKMHE2bU1Lelh5NDBESk5iQnZaN1RSbFZwUUhrTXFQZkJKdzRZc3c5Q3QyRUxHQ2plcUVYeWNYa3UxMGtvMHBaWG01WF9uSWhObzUyZ21sYlNEZFhiRl9fYXFfbHM2THhBWTBVT0F5NWc2U0o5QzAzd0dQWER0SVpqMGRKWjM2YWRCMk5JZz09 |

I've been struggling with the terror of red lights for a while now and I'm stuck as to what to do about it. Most of the tips I have found seem to be about dealing with it in post, but that's not always viable. Consider [this picture](http://www.flickr.com/photos/craigand/5408636235/) I took recently.
The tips I have found suggest I should desaturate or at least lower the luminance of the red channel, but if I do that the picture goes blue. This is because, if you separate the channels, the green channel has almost nothing in it at all!
I was shooting raw so hoped to be able to salvage *something* from the green channel and work toward rectifying the colours just a bit, but no luck. There was simply nothing there.
The other problem is the terrible posterisation caused by the red light effectively burning out the other colour channels, like in [this picture](http://www.flickr.com/photos/craigand/5408621091/) from the same night. If I reduce the exposure then I get less posterisation, but I also lose pretty much everything else.
Does anyone have any particular tips for dealing with this? Most of the places I go don't like flash, so high ISO and wide aperture is the order of the day. Would filters help? Maybe a blue or cyan filter? Basically I'm looking for a way to reduce the massive contrast between the red and green channels. | r/photoit | post | r/photoit | 2011-02-07 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VxcXFkRDkzRjF4SUpyWG9RT3doWTFxWDhoN251MVZPXzVoODRhWTVncGJINXJHTUYwQWY2V1Vpc1U5bEVvcDJHbk01R2I5UTNMX1IxRW5YZVZvNVB3S0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZpUWtiMDJyRlJIV1dDTUNscHF0M05sMHAwT0xNamlVdGJmS1U0bEVaYmhoWkZMVXlvU0NVR2YxV19tR3d5WmZkNlllaHZ4RzlSSDZ4WEIxNW5lbmxDRHd4bnpaVVpoVjVBRHROOE8wOGRORG1CZjR4dVo3R2VsWFZpOVRWN3RWSENEdHdoR3c3QlFVYk9zNHV6aEgzLXN0RzJKcVlHQmt4LVhrODBsNFYwTUo5ZjdYOEY2V1RRc0JZTHpFQUJKQTc1 |

>##Stats
>>* **Age:** 18
>>* **Gender:** Male
>>* **Location:** ~20 minutes outside NYC.
>>* **Picture:** [Yes! Most recent one I have....](http://i.imgur.com/zNSgU.jpg)
>##Life
>>* **Job:** I Work for a bus company for special needs kids. I sit in the short bus with all the kids and make sure they're all okay and such. I actually enjoy it a lot.
>>* **Hobbies:** Photography is one of my favorite things ever, Though usually I Get scared of showing people my photos. I get scared they'll think they stink, haha.
>>* **Pets:** 3 Hamsters, [Giz and Boo](http://i.imgur.com/tUtae.jpg), and [Nerble](http://i.imgur.com/SWVfB.jpg), and [Fuzzy the cat](http://i.imgur.com/eeESB.jpg)
>>* **Political views:** Yeah, None-ish. Just give LGBT people equal rights and such.
>>* **Religious views:** Atheist, and I'll keep it at that to avoid offending others :) Unless someone would like to discuss it privately or something.
>>* **What makes you _\_\_\_:** I like random acts of sillyness. Especially in public. ALWAYS gets me laughing. Call me cliche, but seeing other people happy, or seeing them get something they want, makes me happy. To me, there's just something beautiful in human interaction when they're in that sort of elated state.
>> Sadness? Definitely ANYONE getting bullied. I got it SO bad growing up, and I Still get it from GROWN people now that I'm out of school and working and such. It also makes me angry.
>> Intolerance is definitely what enrages me though. Oh, and the smell of cat piss, and the taste of cream cheese.
>##Favorite things (movies, tv shows, books, foods, drinks etc.):
>>* **Movie** - Requiem for a Dream. I don't do drugs (anymore) Myself, but it ALWAYS shakes me up. such a well done movie, I love the hell out of it.
>>* **TV Shows** - House, and Modern family are my current obsession. it jumps around, though.
>>* **Books** - I Don't really read any stories at all, actually. I try to read stuff that makes me feel like I learned something more than just a moral, or one "value" in the story. Existentialism books are my favorite. Not stories, but just information, different author's outlooks on existentialism, etc. Definitely one of my biggest fascinations.
>>* **Foods**- I Can LIVE off of chicken fried rice, and ice cream. Not together, obviously, but those are the best thing on the planet. Next to those, Mac & cheese. And I'm talking like, the ones thats are shaped like spongebob and stuff. Those taste better than the noodle ones. You all know its true >:)
>>* **Drinks**- Coffee. It's my life saver.
>##Sexuality
>>* **Orientation:** Homosexual.
>>* **Coming out:** Mostly out. There are a few people that don't know yet, but I don't purposely hide it, or purposely flaunt it.
>>* **Relationship status/background:** Single, though I did try to hide my sexual orientation for years by dating loads of girls, and a guy on the way and such, but guilt and denial drove me away from that. What a regret, losing him.
>##Misc.
>>I really only post here in [/r/lgbt](/r/lgbt). I Browse loads of others though... Usually [IAmA](/r/iama), [TodayILearned](/r/TodayILearned), [Offbeat](/r/Offbeat), [Aww](/r/aww), [Self](/r/self), [Listentothis](/r/Listentothis), [Minecraft](/r/Minecraft) (I play! Woo!), and [Music](/r/music). That's about it really though. I have other ones pinned up there, but those are the main ones I look through all day. I'm also a member of the "Gayming Community" On steam. I hang out on mumble and such with all the regulars on there. I play TF2, Minecraft, And WoW if anyone is interested in that stuff.
>>Thank you guys at LGBT for being so awesome :) I hope to have a lengthy stay around here. I'll be speaking with you all at one point or another :)

This is certainly interesting, but I'm leery of jumping too quickly into the classroom with it. Even if the research shows improvements in memorization, the response should really be - so what? Not in an "I don't care" way, but in a "what does that get us" way. Of course, our memory is very important, but how and in what way. And, is it wise to focus education directly on memorization.
BTW, I notice that this article propagates the bogus claim that "Research has shown that taking a test is a more effective way to learn than extra study or review time." Refer to [here](http://voices.washingtonpost.com/answer-sheet/alfie-kohn/do-test-really-help-students-l.html), [here](http://www.good.is/post/the-new-york-times-kind-of-misinterprets-a-study-about-tests-and-learning/), and [here](http://shermandorn.com/wordpress/?p=3112) for a thorough debunking of the media's interpretation of the research and its implications. | r/edpsych | comment | r/edpsych | 2011-02-07 | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1VxMnM0cW1zR3pJbnBUc1ZuWC03OWx6a3YxZnNKN1lTU2MxajYtdEwwamVpR1F1RHNoTl9lbkdlRXl3NHJKRkxTTW1rbnZIWW5DQnA2ekM3eENUYW5Pdnc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5LN1ZpVVYyb25hc2pXbXk5a2ZRazdISkloaDVMYUNIbWlmV05XTG1KV1pZUG9pdzNnRDdtOGNFOExxYjZWREtSOUp4dlcwWUtYLXYtQloyODJEdGZ1dXJHUGNtUzlKdXdNeTBmYUZteWt3MHVCZkJlRU5QOG5FT0gtR1RUUlZoeVNoenVGZXo3WkMxVTR4MzFuVU9DOFp2QlNER0FPaEJKTGRPWGwzd1pHWlRjQkJqSEV2QVBHd1ppRGhjZFcxUHVIU09FMF9LVTZlOTFDbGFUQzkzY2VTSU1SQT09 |
