Jump..

Out of all the babble it's the one thing you don't what the hybrid to say while you're on board. That and "continued in 2 weeks".


To jump is a matter of faith.

Everything will be continued in 2 weeks.

Luckily evolution takes no account of our everyday issues or lives and will happen regardless.

SNIP...

That video came up with a message: This video not available in your country.

What a rip!


Qui-Gon,

As far as I can tell you are in the USA?

The clip is from an early issue of Galactica.

I assume Misfit was able to watch the video. Misfit is also in the USA?

If YouTube is blocking you or your location I don't know what to suggest.


If you can not see the video then PM me. I'll send you the .FLV.

As long as you tell me you have seen the early BSG series there is no problem for me to give you a copy of a clip of what you have already seen. (European copyright law is a bit different to the USA's.)

The YouTube link I gave was a UK.YouTube.com URL..

You can always alter the URL by slashing off the "uk." bit at the start of the URL..



Anyway my post wasn't about Galactica.

You guys must be teasing me...

Just in case you are not then go to YouTube and find a file with the name: "Battlestar Galactica - Hybrid scene#1".

Or try the file name "4rUqpPbxGzc" in the search box.

Failing everything else look up the user "mistermirage"...

Sorry my link went wrong.

No, you aren't being teased. I received the same message as well.
I know of a Canadian that is frequently unable to view youtube posts.

I just tried hiding myself behind a US proxy and got the same 'not for you' message :o(

Bizaar as many similar clips are available on YouTube US. (I wonder whether the fault lies with the uploaders or with certain words in the file descriptions?..)

As Qui-Gon said... "What A Rip"...

Anyway it wasn't such a great YouTube video anyway.

Here's a quick avi transcode (Sorry about the bad video.): JUMP


It was just an odd thought relating to spirituality....

Cheers for info.

It's on the 'Virgin' Servers...

Some servers go down once in a while. The link should be back up now. (It was out for about 2 hours???)

In general the universal servers only go down for a few minutes per month (if that).. Sadly it went down when you needed it.

Wasn't my fault but sorry for problems.

Here's the link again: JUMP

I love the passion we find in anime sometimes.

Have you ever listened to / watched the songs of 'Utada Hikaru'?

Depending on your idea of " spirituality "..this may qualify.

I was driving home last night....there had been a couple of pretty hefty storm fronts rolling through...

As I was driving, I glanced off to my left and saw something that caused me to drive a bit out of my way to get down to the shore of Saginaw Bay.

What I saw was, a break in the clouds just big enough to let the crescent moon show through...while all around it in the remaining storm clouds, quite a lot of lightning was flashing. No bolts hitting the ground, all remaining within the clouds.

I got out of my car and stood there for a few minutes. There was no thunder to accompany the lightning. No sound at all except for the wind and the waves.

A couple of years ago, I formed a team on BOINC and called it Calm Chaos. I knew that the name would mean different things to different people....but last night, I believe I saw the perfect description of the team name.

... Snip.


Call it faith, spirit or just your dedication "Calm Chaos" is a team that exists and has members who like being part of it.

There are those who quote rules and then there are those who make the spirit of the idea live.

You gave "Calm Chaos" life...

... That is special.

Depending on your idea of " spirituality "..
Snip..


Who knows until it happens.

[quote]Well........
All I can say is that at my age, I have become increasingly aware of God's touch on my life.......
He has blessed me in so many ways, and confounded me in so many others........

I guess it's not mine to question his ways........



it is sad that he wasted time on you when childs are dying in hunger or killed in stupid wars like in iraq, i was an impression that you live life that less fortunate can only hope

Who do you think are the greatest spiritual figures in our times or from the past?

(They do not have to be "religious" figures")

... and why do you think they are spiritual and great?
