Those 2011-2012 Camaro convertibles... MMM MMMM Tasty.

Public Schools need to teach about only one thing with regards to sex: How to not get STD's. Everything else a human can learn on their own but an STD doesn't have an Undo button. In cases like this we need to institutionalize the education. A good parallel example would be how dangerous a Car can be and how we ensure that people have to maintain a drivers' license and a good driving record to continue to drive. This needs to be mandatory because its a public health issue more than a social issue. Let's be clear, though. I arrive at this from a financial perspective: its cheaper to explain to a young man or woman why they should use a condom on the whole than for the country to bear the financial burden of treating people with these sometimes lifelong diseases. As for the question of whether or not same sex education belongs in schools? I would say no. If people want to bash on LGBT and commit crimes/hate crimes, that needs to be stamped out via the criminal justice system just like any other crime. Trying to educate in school will just make some kids think: "i have to do this stupid course because person X in my class is LGBT" and this will cause social pressure on this person we already know is statistically disadvantaged. Basically, Less carrot, more stick. With Regards to WursWaldo's point about the stats on Alcoholism, etc. inside the lgbt community, the cart is before the horse in your perspective. The Stats represent a result of Systemwide Discrimination, however they can be misused to represent LGBT as raging drug addict alcoholics. The reason why 'the truth has no place' is because it can be misconstrued, and abused. We as a society have to consider this class of person as a Discriminated minority, and assist them in Mitigating issues like alcoholism, depression, suicide. Being fair though, I do think that Sex education is a significant factor in the STD statistics.

Keep in mind that when you Put in the new graphics card you will be removing the old one, and that represents the specific wattage. if your upgrading to a current midrange card it will not represent a significant jump in wattage. the only thing your going to need to factor in additionally is that PSU's diminsh in capacity over time, so if the PC is very old than you can't go by the current psu's Rated Wattage. there are other things that you can do on a budget to try to make up the wattage required, like disconnecting an unused CD drive, etc. you Can google power supply calculator and the 3rd result is not one from a corporate website. i would calc my system and make a judgement based on that. buying a psu 'just because' you want a graphics card is a foolhardy waste of money if you don't actually need to. Don't take that as free license to skip it if you DO need it though.

look into a program called LOOT. it will handle this for you the best it can. if that can't fix it then there are some awesome guides on load orders just a google away!

zomg thanks a ton! kudos!!!

the type of quiver you are talking about is called a belt quiver or a hip quiver. it would be cool to see this in oblivion. however potential problems do exist. due to the nature of a hip quiver, it would sit near to where a sheathed sword sits on the PC. as long as the potential modder is aware of this, then they can avoid clipping altogether. as well as clipping with armor, etc. on the note of the animation.. it kind of already exists. the draw 1h weapon animation could be used to get the arrow from the hip (i believe) and you could maybe mix into it the Nocking of the arrow from the original draw arrow animation. Just a thought.

Iooking forward to seeing this for sure. would be cool to see. tbh im suprised Callandor and other book based fantasy items haven't made it into oblivion. and on the note of the the books.. if i wanted to read ayn rand, i'd read ayn rand. i think it kind of fitting that the objectivist author sold the series for a song and knowingly let the TV show piss on the Canon of the books right out of the gate. its like Xena without the humor. at least the TV show for the most part doesn't read like fan fiction humped a thesis paper on objectivism. but thats entirely off topic :S

just a nuts out random guess at something you could try. why not try working around the problem altogether? maybe get the script to spawn a baddie in a cell like the testinghall, and then kill it with a player based kill command. as long as you can get the script to pull the mob your trying to kills' health, you can spawn a leveled mob (preferably one that wouldnt leave a corpse) and then instakill it. that would be a very hot fix, and fairly inefficient, but it could do the trick in a pinch. besides, that way you dont have to worry about breaking UV's code.

i ask this on a by opinion of the poster basis. there are literally a buzzilion texture and graphics mods for oblivion. looking at it from a perspective on enhancer the stock game: IE: Retextures, city mods, etc. by opinion of the poster, whats the best of the best combination of compatible texture packs + mods based on beautification for oblivion? Thanks

o/ Been a smoker for about 4 years, started on stupidity. i have tried of few of the aids in the past but find myself getting back on the smoking wagon about 5-7 months after quitting. i believe its because im stuck on the oral habit, and because i live with other smokers. i do NOT want in this thread -The million reasons to quit (trust me, i know them) -Trolls In advance if this flames out i genuinely apologize to the mods So to people whom are smokers i ask What quit smoking aids have you tried? what successes have you had? do you know of an aid that can be used to fix just the oral fixation (later down the road) without involving the Nic? Is there a product that helps in that week 2 -> month 3 phase where your lungs are regrowing tissue and you cough like crazy? Thanks for any insight. and to anyone wondering, im asking here because its so far off topic, i might actually get some neutral answers, and honest opinions. Thanks in advance :biggrin:

are you referring to like that half human khajiit race? i keep seeing photos of them all over the nexus, but the only mod ive found is blocked by author. and does the OP mean replacing the NPCs? cause in that case you can run into big conflicts, ie: with the overhaul mods.

neat concept, id play it. but you need to add in some gorier (ah la Deadly Reflex or other, optional if the player has it installed) brutality to the emporers death. always bugged me how the guy offing him misses on the first swing. hallo bullet time beheading of Uriel!

yeah that doesn't even closely resemble any of the default races (orcs, long shot, maybe). and thats without considering the textures. thats a hella job indeedy

Pop open the CS>Load up Oblivion.esm>click on the Gameplay Tab > Click on Settings> look for EditorID FAIExteriorspectatordetection (Default Value 1000).. thats the variable i think your looking for. if thats not it its another one in that list. setting it to 300 gets about what youd expect of normal people, lol. just make an ESP with that one variable and put at the bottom of your load order. to others reading this.. in this same menu you can universally mod stuff like the players stagger percentage, change some other attack variables, etc. also as opposed to making it its own ESM you could mod it into your friendly neighborhood combat mod, as long as you don't redistribute it, and you have the right to modify it for personal use (per the licence agreement)

i know there is a mod out that that reduces NPC Detection Rad. i saw it and didnt download it like an idiot. does anyone know where this is offhand? Kudos to the finder! EDIT: to the guy north of me: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=25871 youll need the HGEC body mod as well. that ones in the most endorsed of all time your welcome =) (kudos welcome as well) by the way, when you DL it, go into the CS and take one of the helms without the [a] suffix, and change it from removing the head, to only removing the amulet and hair. also a lot of the gear in that mod is poorly balanced, and you should patch it up for yourself
