you can watch the pilot and first episode of ABC's new sci-fi "Defying Gravity" -- (link) - 500 dugs of summer Aug 3, 18:40 [hulu] 1
- That's often the case the day after a show airs. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 3, 18:42
I just did a logo update. Hope you like them both. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 18:33 22
- I'm just so thankful to have a place to play I wouldn't care if it looked like poop. which it didn't before and doesn't now. but just - solitary confinement loves mandy lane Aug 3, 19:04 4
  - does it (slicker) look like poop now? :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 19:04 3
    - Actually, not poop, but less win than three minutes ago. - TFox Aug 3, 19:06
    - (For reference, I just updated it away from the old image ...) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 19:05 1
      - so it's on new-new instead of old-new, where yesterday it was just old. :D -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 19:05
- Both Banners get an A+ -- nm - Bery on Bery Aug 3, 18:59
- Full victory. No changes needed on the Slicker side. - TFox Aug 3, 18:59 1
  - I am going to attempt a change on the Slicker side and see what people think ... -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 19:03
- Nice!! -- nm - kelly Aug 3, 18:50
- heh. like the slickertalk tagline. -- nm - mafic Aug 3, 18:46 2
  - Yup, but it needs more contrast, I can't read it :( And the blue "sign up/change" box - is there a way to get rid of the blue and leave the text? - MojaveMeg Aug 3, 18:52 1
    - yes, set background as transparent. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 18:52
- What city is that? -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 3, 18:36 1
  - It's a panoramic photo I took of Vancouver in July. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 18:37
- like the picture but the typefaces are kind of a mess. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 18:35 7
  - I don't know, it looks like it was created by the graphics department onf some of the places I've worked. - the liioulu with pie and shelf Aug 3, 18:39 5
    - the colors don't match, I can't read the words well, and I don't like the text in three corners. other than that, love it. :) -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 18:40 3
      - and I hate the cursive font. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 18:40 2
        
        *ponders how to fix these complaints* - Beryllium Aug 3, 18:42 1
        
        if you could make it look like the menu bar for MS Word, that would be perfect. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 18:44
    - L3 -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 18:40
  - Well, for the Slacker one, I left everything the same ... for the Slicker one, I had to rebuild from scratch ... and I just quickly picked. - Beryllium Aug 3, 18:38
Oh, cool. the body farm on pbs world. body farm! -- nm - CQ Aug 3, 18:21 15
- It's right here. Where I live. -- nm - Callisto Aug 3, 18:27 12
  - If I had continued with a forensics class at my school I could have gone. I wanted *so bad* to go -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 3, 18:28 11
    - I did a couple of classes in forensic anthropology, even went to some conferences. After I nearly went under the table at a confernece, - loosilu Aug 3, 18:30 10
      - Touching the cadavers at my school's medical center was one of the coolest things I have ever done. have you ever held a human heart?! -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 3, 18:35 7
        
        no, closest I got were baboons. I dissected a lot of exotic animals though. - loosilu Aug 3, 18:37 3
        
        When my sister was in High Shcool there was a guy who went down at the mention of blood. - the liioulu with pie and shelf Aug 3, 18:41 1
        
        me too (though I last a bit longer than that). it was a bit of a problem when I worked at the blood lab. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 18:42
        
        oh, but I worked with a lot of human skeletons. just no fleshy bits. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 18:39
        
        This one time, at band camp ... -- nm - American Pie and the Temple of Doom Aug 3, 18:36
        
        I haven't held one, but I have broke a few. -- nm - Redmond Aug 3, 18:36 1
        
        so I heard *snicker* -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 3, 18:36
      - the smell is not for everyone. even dead animal carcasses are bad. -- nm - CQ Aug 3, 18:32 1
        
        I'm not even talking about the smell. the necropsy theater at Cornell is far too much for my poor stomach. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 18:34
- Don't watch it while you have dinner. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 18:23 1
  - I'm eating popcorn. actually it's the show Nature. what animals do to dead bodies. so cool -- nm - CQ Aug 3, 18:25
Fear MOP! -- (link) - TWuG Aug 3, 18:18
California state employees are discussing a strike, because they're losing about 14% of their incomes to enforced furlough days. - MojaveMeg Aug 3, 18:12 4
- "Please go on strike!" - California Aug 3, 18:15 3
  - Funniest thing was one state worker planning to go to the DMV on her furlough day...only to realize they were closed too :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 3, 18:21 2
    - I'm surprised anyone could tell the difference. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 18:21 1
      - True. People going in with appointments are reporting a 1-2 hour wait. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 3, 18:22
Don't Judge My Hair -- (link) - TWuG Aug 3, 18:11
Need ST's opinions. Pick which 3 photos I should submit with my application to IStockPhoto.com. - Fuzzy Aug 3, 17:56 [flickr] 11
- You guys, the little girl is obviously his daughter, I think he can get a model release. :) I vote for girl, barn, peacock. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 18:34
- the macaw is good, the barn is decent. the others seem a little flat, imo. -- nm - Guy Aug 3, 18:30 2
  - just out of curiosity - why the sepia tone on the trellis? - Guy Aug 3, 18:30 1
    - To me the subject seems kind of quaint and old-fashioned which seemed to work well with the sepia. -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 3, 18:44
- do you have a signed model release for the child? I like the pic a lot, but I don't know if they would accept a face photo without one. - Beryllium Aug 3, 17:59 4
  - Yes, that's my daughter. I know I need a model release to sell her photo; not sure if I need it for the application process. Researching that. -- nm - Fuzzy Aug 3, 18:23 2
    - I assumed that the photos you are approved with will be the first three for sale in your account. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 18:25 1
      - Actually no (which surprised me). Once the application is approved, you have to submit them all over again if you want to sell them. - Fuzzy Aug 3, 18:46
  - Definitely the barn. -- nm - the liioulu with pie and shelf Aug 3, 18:02
- The trellis, the little girl, the macaw. -- nm - TWuG Aug 3, 17:59 1
  - Agreed, and you'd definitely need a model release from the little girl. -- nm - Subversive Aug 3, 18:15
hmm, what to do, what to do. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 3, 17:52 1
- An hour from now, it will be an easy call. -- nm - David Aug 3, 17:54

  - I still don't have a damn Glitchpaw! -- nm - Redmond Aug 3, 17:53 1
    - I got 2 within hours of the last update. - TWuG Aug 3, 17:57
I love the fact that sciencetology is using comercials to promote itself -- nm - eag Aug 3, 17:39 1
- They've done that for years. Dianetics was promoed on TV in the 80s and 90s ad naseum. -- nm - TWuG Aug 3, 17:42
Loosi used to be one of my ST favourites, but then she killed it by her comment about the Wizard of OZ. Next she will say she does not like Disney.... - Walt_Disney Aug 3, 17:31 1
- aww. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 18:00

  - Cleavagefield tonight at midnight on Cinemax! -- nm - David Aug 3, 17:23 1
    - Attack me! Please! -- nm - Redmond Aug 3, 17:28
  - Yesterday I had my first pharmaceutical sales call in forever.... - MojaveMeg Aug 3, 17:21
  - "you probably don't want people calling you at home" "well, no." "now you know how I feel" good episode -- nm - CQ Aug 3, 17:19
Eagle Owl Mouse! -- nm - CQ Aug 3, 17:00 19
- Damn. I just saw Kelly caught a Black Widow Mouse. I just got mine recently. -- nm - Redmond Aug 3, 17:20 8
  - I got a Goblin earlier today. -- nm - TWuG Aug 3, 17:25 7

        Because of you and Nubby getting me to play. I know have a Cousin, Aunt, and several friends that play because I started the game. - Redmond Aug 3, 17:30 1

- Grats!! -- nm - Redmond Aug 3, 17:01 9
  - I'm liking the dehydration base. I luckily crafted one on the first try -- nm - CQ Aug 3, 17:04 8
    - It's awesome. It took me a second attempt to get mine made. -- nm - Redmond Aug 3, 17:06 7
      - I still haven't figured out how to go about crafting my own. - Stephen Aug 3, 17:14 6
        
        You need 4 wood splinters, 213 salt bought from the Harbour, and dehydration blueprints also bought from the harbour. - Redmond Aug 3, 17:16 5
        
        I got the wood and tried to craft...It failed - amoxy Aug 3, 18:20
        
        the wood is also dropped by dwarf mice in the mountain -- nm - CQ Aug 3, 17:18

Moose, you are not alone - Stephen Aug 3, 16:54 9
- Burn After Reading? Awful film. JK Simmons got the only laughs from me. -- nm - TWuG Aug 3, 17:09 4
  - No, Big Lebowski. Haven't seen Burn After Reading yet. -- nm - Stephen Aug 3, 17:13 3
    - I hated Big Lebowski the first time I saw it, too. But it soon grew on me to become one of my faves. - Dr.Vermin Aug 3, 17:44
    - Don't waste your time. It kills brain cells. -- nm - TWuG Aug 3, 17:14 1
      - Good to know. I'm also being turned off of Inglorious Bastards by the ads for it. - Stephen Aug 3, 17:16
- You are a lazy horn blower. I moved out of the area, slacker! -- nm - Redmond Aug 3, 16:59 2
  - I don't have much opportunity to sound the horn during the week days! -- nm - Stephen Aug 3, 17:04 1
    - Wife, kid, job, no excuses for not blowing the horn!!!!!! -- nm - Redmond Aug 3, 17:06

iPhones bought on eBay do not require contracts. A $99 iPhone would. -- nm - David Aug 3, 16:26 8
- Can't you buy the Apple.com phone without a contract? It's just a brick until you activate with AT&T, no? -- nm - Mop (face it, the scale says 240 lbs) Aug 3, 16:30 6
  - No, you activate with purchase. -- nm - David Aug 3, 16:35 5

        Aside: I've learned that you can use an AT&T prepaid SIM on a previously activated (i.e. used) iPhone. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Aug 3, 16:52
        
        (if not a 3Gs) -- nm - Mop (face it, the scale says 240 lbs) Aug 3, 16:40
