![]() ![]() Admonitions for repentance are sprinkled throughout our texts. The Judeo-Christian tradition has a strong reliance on a doctrine of repentance from “dead works” - those things that bring incremental death and destruction to our own lives. There is something, which is embraced by all who love God, all who seek to walk and live in a way, which is pleasing to the Creator. What was that all about? It seems a bit surreal. Elliot Rodger was seeing multiple therapists. The coin can be flipped either way and I have not walked in the parents’ shoes. Perhaps Elliott Rodger’s parents were doing all that they could possibly do or perhaps they had done too much for this son with such deep cravings towards violence. Of course he is sane! Why is he still allowed to feed the natural belly that sustains his hunger game? In July of 2011, Anders Breivik created a crater in downtown Oslo, Norway and then moved on to slaughter 69 individuals attending a youth retreat on an island 25 miles away. However, if in three years, the young prince is aggressively throwing food at others, he is displaying ID with a growing appetite. Prince George can throw food at his little cousin and it is cute, and it is also quite harmless. More importantly, the duty belongs to the father to cordon the psychological hunger that would wish to prey on others. Now it is up to our mother to meet that physical need. The first cry out of the womb is all about hunger. We recognise it for what it is and we do not feed the hunger. This crouch-and-lie-in-wait is in all of us to varying degrees but most of us master it. Then the Lord said to Cain, ‘Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door it desires to have you, but you must master it’” - Genesis 4B-7.Ĭall it sin. “So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast. An ethical codex was presented to Cain and remains to this day. It must be remembered that long before Freud, there was God. Cain’s hunger gave way to targeted hatred. Adam produced a firstborn son named Cain. ![]() Unfortunately, ‘the hunger games’ are as old as man. So, we can all be glad he is gone before he wiped out the family tree. He had developed an intense hatred against his younger brother. We now know that Elliott’s hunger had turned toward the cannibalisation of his own family. Two of them have the classification of being “serious”. Of the 13 injured, six victims remain in the hospital. Others were injured by the vicious act of Elliot using his vehicle as a battering ram. ![]() Hunger killed Christopher Ross Michael-Martinez, age 20, as he went into a small neighbourhood deli market. Hunger gunned down Veronica Elizabeth Weiss (age 19) and Katherine Cooper (age 22) outside the Alpha Phi sorority house. After stabbing three young adult men to death, Elliott fired up his BMW to take his hunger onto the streets of Isla Vista, a college town adjacent to Santa Barbara, California. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() I was recently permanently banned for essentially doing the same thing. The last time I was banned it was for calling out their racism in the common chat. I am horrified by how overtly racist the administration is on this app. When you turn it off, the microphone button disappears for everyone. Table Talk is the voice chat feature at the table. ![]() So, there is no shortage of rude players. Unfortunately Spades is popular among ex-cons and gang members. Player has 7 minutes to reconnect before he is penalised for a long absence. Lowering WiFi frequency may help in the latter case. Disconnected players either lose cell coverage or use WiFi. On the contrary, even 2G connection is enough to play. I look forward to seeing better versions in the future That should be the very minimum of improvements on this matter The functionality for turning off table talk doesn’t work either. Even in the common chats people use derogatory and hurtful language, specifically the throwing around homophobic terms. I’ve seen players verge on verbal abuse during games and contacting the app about it isn’t easy. The other area of improvement is better administration of chats. 2- I’d also recommend allowing ping time before disconnecting. I speculate that these players are using their phones and/or not connected to WiFi? A few reccos- 1 if the former is the case, make it clear players should connect to WiFi. Apparently players also lose 3 points if disconnected, this hasn’t happened to me personally, but if it did with any frequency I would abandon the app all together. It’s disappointing to be on a winning streak, or a come back, only to have the game end abruptly. This is a frustrating experience, especially because games of Spades can last over 30 minutes. What’s strange is many of these players are fully active up until the moment they get disconnected. The first is connectivity, players get disconnected mid-game I’d say 30% of the time. I’ve been using this app for a few weeks now, and while I do enjoy it there are some improvements needed.

Joined: Sat 6:33 pm Crop rather than clip a complex vector graphic Postby Anark » Sun 9:26 pm I would like to remove permanently certain areas from a vector graphic without needing to apply an intersection to every single path or merely hide the area using Object > Clip > Set. Unfortunately, it seems the verb for this operator cannot be used with the shell mode: $ inkscape -shell In bitmap based editor, you can easily do it usually by Shift+C. My second issue is that I'd like to avoid using the interface. Sometimes when you edit a vector image, you need to crop some objects. Setting them from a script would ensure that the same settings are used all the time, which would be safer in my situation. My first issue is that I would like to set the preferences of the Crop to Clip operator from the command line rather than using ".noprefs" which just uses the last used preferences.
