As stated above, any type of depression, or anxiety can be crippling, and to be bipolar can add even more complexities to managing your mental state. I will give you sympathy, if you want it or not, I have also been misdiagnosed, and given medication, and treatments that nearly drove me off the edge of my sanity. It's great that you are showing initiative to spread the word about the illness. For too long I have been thought of as insane for some rather, rapid and at times destructive outbursts, which were only multiplied by the medication. Now, due to my age, and recent studies relating to it, I am under treatment that uses no medication, and it has been working well enough. As awkward as it may be, being given praise from someone not much more than half your age, I still wish you good luck on the appeal, the fact that you've stayed sane through the mistakes is a testament to your determination.

Guess what, its TESTING!!! YAY!!! There are rumours that people have already ridden it too, The ride is suggested to open on June 1

^ It's where you dress up as any character from a tv show, game, or even a book, but most people dress up as anime characters. Then you get together an roleplay as those characters, or you can just sit and chat at a convention with other friends that you have yet to meet. I urge everyone to cosplay at least once in your life, it sounds dorky, but people are friendly, and it's a great way to let loose and do things you would normally never do.

Omg, Cosplayers, AND furries!!! Yay. This just explains how much fun japan is. PS: Cosplaying kicks a$$, try it some time, or better yet, go to a convention!

^ Ok, that was one of the best posts Ive ever seen. Kudos!!!

Here's a piece of modern art I found on the internet. It's a portrait of George W. Bush, the President of the US, but the portrait is a collage of human... anuses. The piece is entitled Butthead, and is easily one of the most comical, ironic, and sadly true to my opinion pieces. Here's a link, WARNING VERY PG-13!!! http://uruguay.indymedia.org/uploads/2004/02/bush_mosaico_culos.jpg

Bingo,

Again, amazing. I'm almost religiously attached to acrylic paints, need to get my set out. Anyway, do you have any preferences between natural and synthetic brush tips? Here's a photograph I took of a tree in my backyard, I was amazed to see how abstract the picture turned out, so far I am working on creating a charcoal piece based on the photo. Tree In Winter

Wow I just read this, and it is an eye opener, but don't let any of my neighbors see that. I swear they'll start preaching to me *again* about the dangers of a can of Coke. Before anyone thinks that they need to ban their family from caffeine and become my neighbors, think about what happens when you cram the anti-depressants in your mouth, and toss the ADHD pills to your kids like candy.

^ You, scare me

Id say Lagoon, in Utah. Very nice well maintained park with friendly ride ops, a bumped up kiddie area, awesome flat rides, and coasters, (yay for wicked), and they have nice little zoo area.

Ive got one that sucks, What's the similarity between Michael Jackson, and a Togo Standup? You loose your virginity to both.

^ and then we can get into the vertical pumps, which I found are actually treated differently from any other curve, using shifted parabolas blah, and parabolas with horizontal radii curves blah blah blah. I'm going to stop rambling now

I think he's opening it up as a 'real' coaster. Anyway, Ive watched this project since it started and I am amazed further through every picture I see of this massive coaster. This could be the next K'nex coaster model.

^^ Or at an ellipse, depending on how complex your coaster is. Plus I always found the definition of a 'pump' to be a sudden inconsistency in the radii of a curve. Otherwise wouldn't most, if not all complex elements be considered... 'pumpy'.

^^ Lol, DOH!!! Nice track IMO

^^ Wow, I just teased him a bit, he reacted just as sarcastically. Just friendly banter, no need to get your "panties in a bundle"

Geez, Calaway, in an argument, surprise surprise... Anyway, I love your design for the roller coaster. I could never reach such realism without some computer aid.

That's almost like how I got my tech ed teacher to get interested. After he saw one of the Zest trailers I made, he got interested, sooooooooooooo I told him about the program and BOOM!!!!... One problem is that not even the 9th graders have the potential to make a decent project, without having "Dude Wars" about who can have the wickedest sickenest blah, blah, bladeblah... ADD is a virus at my school.

corkscrew coaster, if it was a multidimension wouldn't it have two more rails?

It is nice, just try to persuade your physics teacher, or tech teacher, depending on what program you have. (I'm stuck with Utah, Alpine FUBAR district ) But holy freaking crap, It's extremely hard to explain how the system works, so I'm just gonna use a projector and work on the program for a bit to show how it works, (this is after making 80 Power Points with failure). Also anyone have some lesson plan ideas, I have to come up with some for the class and I need ideas. PS: please have simple ideas, everyone in my class is ADHD, i swear it

I think this is the right forum to put this in, but anyway on to the topic. I recently convinced my tech ed teacher, to use NoLimits in his 8-9th grade classes. The catch was that I had to make a tutorial, and lesson plans, but anyway do any of you people have NoLimits at your school?

I might be mistaken, but you need a video driver. Nvidia might have one for you

Ive got one that sounds gross, but is actually quite good. 2 packages of unflavored ramen noodles 1/4 tbsp chili powder 1/4 tbsp curry powder 1/2 cup honey Boil the ramen noodles and spices for 3mins, and 1/4 cup of the honey to the mixture and stir. Drain noodles and add other 1/4 cup of honey to the noodles and toss together, enjoy! (you can also add shredded cabbage for more texture). A this together makes a very sweet, yet very spicy dish. You may also wish to substitue the curry powder for a more potent blend of pepper spices. One last thing you can do, is add chopped bell pepper to the dish, YUM!

Umm... I think it went the other way around
