What's *your* true alignment?
This quiz was made by titanghost
True Neutral characters believe in the ultimate balance of forces, and they refuse to see actions are either good or evil. True neutrals do their best to avoid siding with either good or evil, law or chaos. It is their duty to see that all of these forces remain in balanced contention. True Neutral characters sometimes find themselves forced into peculiar alliances. To a great extent, they side with the underdog, sometimes even changing sides as the previous loser becomes the winner. A true neutral druid might join the local barony to put down a tribe of evil gnolls, only to drop out or switch sides when the gnolls were brought to the brink of extinction.

Take the What Should Your New Year's Resolution Be? Quiz
gotta love this question...
You are working for a secret underground society that controls the fate of mankind. You have pictures of a highly-ranked extraterrestrial ambassador performing obscene acts with an antelope. This same ambassador wants to influence public opinion by manipulation of the sorts of information they are exposed to on the internet- again. You're addicted to the internet. What do you do?

4:54 pm - Subject: Do not support Terrorism, do this.....
|
as usual, my cousin innundated my mail box with spam today. this one struck me. what do you all think of this?...
Read this! When you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia. Just buy from gas companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis. Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my family, and my friends. I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from.
Major companies that import Middle Eastern oil (for the period 9/1/00 - 8/31/01).
Shell........................205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco...............144,332,000 barrels
Exxon/Mobil..................130,082,000 barrels
Marathon.....................117,740,000 barrels
Amoco.........................62,231,000 barrels
If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION!
Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:
Citgo............0 barrels
Sunoco...........0 barrels
Conoco.......... 0 barrels
Sinclair ........0 barrels
BP/Phillips......0 barrels
Hess ............0 barrels
All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and can be easily documented. Refineries located in the U.S. are required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing. They report on a monthly basis.
Keep this list in your car; share it with friends. Stop paying for
terrorism.............
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of gas buyers. It's really simple to do!!
Now, don't wimp out at this point...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!
I'm sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300)... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000) .. and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers!
If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!! .
Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people.
How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!!
so that last bit's pretty stupid, but the overall point is kind of interesting. moot for me, seeing as i only hit Hess once ever 10 days anyways, but still...

11:13 am - info on PTSD from NIMH (USA)
|
Research is continuing to reveal factors that may lead to PTSD. People who have been abused as children or who have had other previous traumatic experiences are more likely to develop the disorder.10 In addition, it used to be believed that people who tend to be emotionally numb after a trauma were showing a healthy response; but now some researchers suspect that people who experience this emotional distancing may be more prone to PTSD.11
( Read more... )
This action of norepinephrine is thought to be one reason why people generally can remember emotionally arousing events better than other situations. Under the extreme stress of trauma, norepinephrine may act longer or more intensely on the hippocampus, leading to the formation of abnormally strong memories that are then experienced as flashbacks or intrusions. Since cortisol normally limits norepinephrine activation, low cortisol levels may represent a significant risk factor for developing PTSD.

MY MAN IS BACK!!! HE'S BACK HE'S BACK!!! ROBERT CARLYLE IS STARRING WITH SAMUEL L. JACKSON IN A NEW FLICK: formula 51.
oh my. i never like celebrities, but damn, that man is FINE. when we'd go to glasgow, my husband would actually indulge my idiocy in trying to find the man (before he married that woman who actually looks like me when my hair was longer) simply because he knew we never would.
unfortunately, he was right!
this is even better than the prequel to silence of the lambs which has edward norton! oh, man, this is going to be total eye candy autumn!

1:42 pm - FYI boston folks
|
There will be a rally on the State House steps from 3:30 to 5:30 on
Thursday, September 26th to try to get funding back for the Safe
Schools Program for Gay and Lesbian Students at the Department of Education. It is being sponsored by Project 10 East, and more information can be obtained through them. Please distribute widely--we need all the support we can get. Also, this is a youth-sponsored/organized rally, so it would be great for as many people as possible to come, and all people are definitely encouraged to come. Again, we need you--the two remaining employees of Safe Schools are being transferred within the week! In otherwords, no
more state support for GSA's, or faculty trainings on LGBT-sensitivity, etc.
