Looking for a sitter

I will be away all weekends from now on so I can't constantly ask for a 3 day pause. So I'm looking for a sitter.
I'm in two games. one wta game with high pot (700+D), in which I'm almost defeated and a C1 summer league game (doing well there).
Anyone interested?

Martial law in the deep south?

Rumor mill speculates a forcible evacuation from the gulf coast.
Normally I dismiss martial law rumors pretty quick, but given the toxicity of the water, beaches, and even air from texas to florida (some symptoms of corexit (sp) poisoning as far north as N carolina (unverified) I think this is a real possibility
What do you think?

The Tales Today That Will Be Classic Legends Tomorrow

We look into the past in the West and see a lot of heroes and stories and mythologies that still are important to us today. The Epic Of Gilgamesh. The Old Testament of Adam and Eve, David, Moses. The Iliad, Oddysey, and Aeneid. The Oedipus Cycle. The New Testament and The Story of Jesus. The Arthurian Legend. The Arabian Knights. Robin Hood. We have so many franchises and stories and sagas today- which ones will be/should be remembered and revered as classics in the centuries to come?

This Time On Philosophy Weekly: Science vs. Ethics: What's Wrong With

It's the tale as old as time, "scientific progress" vs. "what's right." On the one hand, we have stem cells and other such biological and engineering works that could potentially improve life for mankind drastically, cure diseases, make man stronger, more versatile...man can literally improve his design. But then you have the other side, and the powerful question, "Who are WE to play God and alter such things?" Should we be afraid of "playing God?" Is there a line? If so, what?

I ate my dog for dinner!

That was my initial response to the original post anyway. I'm just surprised nobody here beat me to it.

What I actually did last evening was have a beer and a curry and read "The Man Who Planted Trees". Well worth the time. The story behind the story is interesting too. Is that normal?

If you want something normal, you can try going to "cosmopolitan" or "sex in the city" forums. I'm pretty sure there you can find tons of "normal" discussions on how pink skirt goes well with a black t-shirt, about the weather and about the last (and best) lipstick.

I knew a chap in Manila who was having some trouble with neighbours playing music very loud. When he mentioned this to his landlord the landlord offered to get some people around "sort it out".

Black ghost knives (is that the correct plural?) are pretty cool fish though :)

@diplo... I am the kind of people they get round to sort things out.

When I first came to HK I actually lived with members of an organised crime syndicate. I didn't realise at first but life soon became very interesting for me as a young man. I am still in contact with some of them. Odd, but that's the way things have gone.

Thoughts on Determinism.

I am a firm believer in hard determinism, and my beliefs in determinism (and cyclic universe theory) lead me to believe that god does not exist, not vice versa. I assume that there are quite a few people on this site that aren't determinists, so who is willing to argue with me?

How did you first learn about Diplomacy?

One of my History teachers in middle school had our whole class play it. I think we were making two moves a week or so, and his plan was to actually grade us on how well we did. I was Germany and was kicking ass... until someone snuck into the classroom one day after school was out and knocked over all the pieces. Our teacher hadn't written down the positions so the game just ended. It was lame, but some friends and I started playing on our own.
