Re: Need some Programming help

It really depends what you're trying to do.

When you say apps do you mean web-based apps? web-based for this website? Android apps? iOS apps? Windows apps?

If you want to try your hand at some coding there's a few tutorial websites out there. http://www.codecademy.com/learn is a good one with step-by-step "lessons".

I wasn't really impressed with Lion's gates rebuttal, if you can even call it that. It just basically said that we treat our homos with respect, so why are you all mad at us because we're trying to make money off this raging homophobe's book? It's the same story DC gave when it came out that Card was writing a superman story.

The fact still remains that ten percent of the money Card makes off this movie is going back to the Mormon church who will still fight against our rights, not to mention whatever moneys he decides to donate directly to hate groups like NOM. Companies like lionsgate at DC need to do a bit of research on people before they get in bed with them. And if they still decide to support bigots, they need to live with the consequences.

Need some Programming help

July 13 2013

I'm trying to learn some programming and right now I'm at a very basic level. I have a few apps I would like to work on for Stonewall Vanguard and need some guidance as to how to go about completing these projects. If you're willing to give me a hand or point me in the right direction, please private message me so we can get in contact.

Thank you!

Just recently started watching this! I wouldn't call it my personal favorite, but now that I've seen the first few episodes I'll more than likely watch the rest :)

See. I can see with a movie cutting things out and having your own ideas. But this was an epic book and this is a 13 or so episode TV series with a possible season 2. They could do so much and the first episode just felt flat. They changed too many things. Junior is effin hot though.

I only saw the first episode. I have 2 episodes waiting in my DVR. I don't know. The book was over a thousand pages long. They had so much material to work with. I just wasn't very happy with the first episode and the cheesy special effects with the cow and the plane. I was interested that they had a lesbian couple, one who is african american. I'll watch the episodes eventually. :-)

Seems Lionsgate, which I have liked a lot of their movies has responded with a rebuttal to Card but still does not encourage me to see the movie. There are a lot of other things I could support like I did through Kickstarter for BrideGroom and Harbinger. But also since I live in a state, the first in the south to have marriage rights voted by the people, believe that marriage rights are for everyone who have meaningful, committed relationships. Here is the link.

Though, its getting to the point where pretty much everyone has a dark secret.

That is small rural town as far as SK is concerned. Jaws makes people afraid of deep water and sharks,SK has convinced me I would never ever want to do more than visit Maine.

Im liking it, Dave read the story and knows whats going on, but I don't. I hope it stays this good the whole time.

The feel takes me back to "Golden Years".

I started watching it last night. Have about 15 minutes left of the first episode but it looks like it is going to be good!

Hopefully I don't break the quote and spoiler functions with this post. Bear with me.

Perfect description.

Actually, I've been rewatching Farscape recently and was surprised to see our good sheriff playing the role of Liko.

OMG!
Is that the episode where he, or Zhaan, kills that two headed bird thing, while Crichton is busy fighting a wizard?

I've been watching random episodes (because the AV club have been doing really great Farscape reviews the past couple of months), but skipped that ep. Although, Defiance could definitely use some Farscape-esque zaniness.

_{Grant Bowler will always be Constable Wayne from Blue Healers to me. :P}

Oh, and just a random Defiance thing I noticed the other day. Rynn is played by Tiio Horn, who also played Destiny in the compellingly awful Hemlock Grove. She was the best thing about that show, other than Landon Liboiron's bum. "Stoopid ass-birds!" :woohoo:

Natasha Lyonne and Laura Prepon are in this? :silly:
Such a strange cast.

Not sure if I can do another "women in prison" show.

In Australia we just had Wentworth, which turned out to be a pretty great remake of Prisoner/Cell Block H.

But this looks interesting. Love Kate Mulgrew, and loved Jenji Kohan's Weeds for a while there. Will have to track it down/wait for the DVDs.

I ended up liking Defiance quite a bit. Not sure whether that's due to the amount of time I've spent playing the game though.

Thought the last two episodes were quite good. Just some spoiler tagged thoughts:

Super excited that we'll get a second season.

Re: A reason to not see Enders Game or read the books.

^ I thought exactly the same thing.

Since "the gay marriage issue" is now "moot" does that mean Card will back away from NOM? I'm mean, he's thrown in the towel, right? :blink:

BTW, my favourite news article about this was at The AV Club LINKY.
Nice and snarky :evil:

As I've never read the book, and Harrison Ford gives me the creeps, I wasn't planning on seeing this anyway. Might throw the cost of a ticket to a reputable charity instead.

He's been releasing music for awhile now. Until now, he's been using the pseudonym Steve Starchild. This was just the first original song he released under his real name. You can check him out on YouTube.

So the first season has come to a close a couple days ago; how's everyone feeling about the series now?

Re: A reason to not see Enders Game or read the books.

Ender’s Game is set more than a century in the future and has nothing to do with political issues that did not exist when the book was written in 1984.

With the recent Supreme Court ruling, the gay marriage issue becomes moot. The Full Faith and Credit clause of the Constitution will, sooner or later, give legal force in every state to any marriage contract recognized by any other state.

Now it will be interesting to see whether the victorious proponents of gay marriage will show tolerance toward those who disagreed with them when the issue was still in dispute.

The above statement by Card in response to the boycott is just stunning. I was shocked when I read it. How ignorant can one person be? In 1984, the gay community was still reeling from the AIDS Epidemic that the government largely turned a blind eye to. Striking down of DOMA has done little for those of us still in conservative states like me which still have constitutional amendments against allows us to get married. Not allowing someone to bad mouth you and insult you isn't being intolerant. It's standing up for yourself.

I know I won't be seeing this movie.

I've watched the first three episodes so far and I'm delightfully impressed. So far everything really believable; I was kinda expecting it to be corny and over the top. I like the plot and storyline. Though, its getting to the point where pretty much everyone has a dark secret. I'm looking forward to episode 4.
