"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

[color=cc9900]Well, Sandwich, I would've tried to illustrate it visually, but it seems to have disappeared off the server :S Generally, I'd take some off the top and right-hand side, if the picture in my head serves me right.

Venom: Oh, I have nothing against imbalance. Imbalance can skew a picture with interesting results, yes. However, that's a can, not a will. As a general rule the 3rd's works (can't remember where I got it from), except for special circumstances that the photographer can take advantage of as they come.[/color]

The Mossberg 590® 12 gauge Pump Action w/ Speed-Feed® synthetic stock, Ghost Ring Sights, 9-shot capacity, 20" cylinder bore barrel, parkerized finish.                                                         MSRP $586

After all, it's the subject of the picture that's improtant. ;)

Never Forget

"It is always better to avenge dear ones than to induldge in mourning. For every one of us, living in this world means waiting for our end. Let whoever can win glory before death. When a warrior is gone, that will be his best and only bulwark."

[color=cc9900]No, no! Bad Beowulf!

Sandwich: It's appeared again, wahey. Here's my quick attempt at cropping it, it's not brilliant but it ought to give an idea of what I was trying to do:

[color=cc9900]For odd shaped things, I usually either just add some black on the top and bottom to get it up to size, or do the same with a little fade-in. It ends up looking better than full-screen wallpapers, sometimes.[/color]

Cheers Odyssey! :):yes:
And I think that you cropped down Sandwich's pic quite nicely.

*raises hand* Sandwich, I'd like a wallpaper pretty please. Preferably with cropping like what Odyssey did...
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

Sandwich = teh man
Thanks for the background dude...it'll most likely stay up there for a while.
You know, I had been planning on visiting Israel for a while to see some friends but that hasn't quite worked out the way I was hoping it would. I was really excited...ready to experience the famed nightlife in Herzeliya and Tel Aviv. I've heard it's pretty good...

I wouldn't know that much about the night life, especially not in Tel-Aviv or Herzeliya. I can't stand Tel-Aviv as a city - butt-ugly industrial buildings, slums, and glass-coated high-rises. What a sad combo.

I mainly hang out in J-lem (for obvious reasons), but even here I'm not one who frequents night clubs and discotheques (sp?). I prefer spending money on good food - there's a great coffee shop and restaurant "scene" here. Put Starbucks out of business pretty quick, the local places did. :p
