Awesome! Side note: I can't find an antique style globe. I mean I can find the brown colored ones but not the actual old political boundaries like when Russia was just labeled Soviet Union
I see globes from the 1920's and 1930's on eBay all the time. Also spot them in local antique stores quite a bit. Most of them aren't rare and usually not expensive either.
Here's a nice post-WWII one:

w=17 because (180- (132+31))
v=48 because (180-132)
x=58 because (180-122)
y= (180-(43 + 58)) = 79
y + z + w = (180-(43 + 31))
79 + z + 17 = 106
Thus z = 10
Checking z + v + 122 = 10 + 48 + 122 = 180. True.
Is that all they're teaching in post-grad math these days?0 -

I saw Mother Mother a few years ago and after the show I couldn't stop laughing because this old woman went up to the male singer and went, "that was just lovely, dear. You are so talented."
Thanks, Grandma
This is priceless! Adorable!0 -
So they used a large ring so that the depth of field is actually rather large. With a standard sized ring you'd need a macro lens to get that much detail on the ring that close to the camera. Doing so would make you unable to get anything resembling focus at infinity. Instead they scaled up the ring so they can place it further from the camera, while still appearing large and keeping the background somewhat in focus. This wouldn't be possible with a standard ring.

Negative!! LOL! We just got stuck with him. I'm sure there are groups that tried to deport him back to Canada. Too bad they didn't succeed.

Historical Rationale:
By 2001-2002, Napster; Kazaa/Limewire; early, pre-bittorrent P2P; and the resultant RIAA suits made available to even casual observers that year over year record sales were either stagnant or in decline. The only genres to experience year to year sales growth were country and CCM. Jazz and classical were flat. Everything else had been in decline for at least the previous four years.
Conjecture:
If you liked R&B, the 1990s was YOUR decade. R&B and soul did very well: Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, TLC, Janet Jackson, R Kelly, etc etc etc
My issue with the decade was the (even more egregious than previous decades) shameless trend pushing-- grunge (Seattle "garage" sound) the most prevalent (looking at YOU MTV and Rolling Stone). There was also the punk, ska, and swing revivals. Rapcore appeared. In the middle of the decade seems like every record executive was looking for the "next" Morrisette, Apple, McLachlan. The CCM side was pumping out "worship" albums every day, it seems. And for rock, excluding the Seattle bands, the top selling of the decade being already well established-- Metallica, Aerosmith, U2-- not really breaking new ground. Not to say any of this wasn't good, but for every one worthwhile act there were 9 copycats pushed by executives trying to capture a piece of an ever shrinking pie.0 -
I'm extremely fairly new to the whole DM setting, but for now I've shot a few encounters at my PC's. I had previously went to my DM for help and got some good tips, but what I really need is what our party calls... "Nagranda". She is a Duskblade, level 10 with a some sort of *kitten* sword that obliterates anything magic, is sheathed within her, and deals d20's for damage. Point is, I need some advice on where to look to make some Meeseeksanddestroy is a thespian hero that's destroying gods in the background that my PC's will look up to on their adventures. I have some base stats of a hero called Gideon (pretty much lost 3 hero's in this setting and revived them all as this OP cannon of fire): Duskblade-4, Fighter-4, Swordsage-4 Str-17 Dex-17 Con-13 Int-16 Wis-14 Cha-13 Mostly looking for weapons, curses, items, or the-like. Anything for DM advice also helps, Thanks.2

After 96 it really became about how to sell the music rather than what sounds good...
And thus Boy Bands (not even really bands) were shamelessly crammed down everyone's throat...
Rap music lost its edge
Rock music lost any hint of blues influence and just became a whiny emo genre...
I started exploring other decades0 -
