I'm aware that some of the old-school style frame models are a little smaller versus the newer modern models, and that being able to ride will just take a bit more practice to get used to the adjustments I'd have to make (I'm 5'0" and I've ridden motorcycles in the past, so I know how to compensate a bit), but I wanted to know if anyone that knows vespas pretty well has any suggestions or can point me in the right direction. I'm looking into getting a Vespa in the future and was wondering if anyone knew of any models easier to maintain and okay to ride for the shorter folk such as myself. Your help would be much appreciated!

Looking for music to put on a playlist for myself to do work to. It's hard to explain what I'm looking for, there's probably a sub-genre of power ballad or something, but the best I can say is that the music has power enough to keep me motivated by the sound.

These are some songs I already have which have the sort of "sound" I'm looking for.

As a game development student, I've been working to expand my knowledge and library of independently created/published or "indie" video games and have come to a standstill on finding other great games I should look into.

Here's a list of indie games I've played and/or am familliar with already (in case you need to know, or want a look for yourself):

-World of Goo

-flOw

-Kingdom of Loathing

-da blob

-Cave Story

-Alien Hominid

-Gish

-Castle Crashers

-Synaesthete

So, got any suggestions?

By the by, I'm not restricting to purely indie games, any games with the same sense for originality will do also.

I personally believe if you know someone is disrespectful and takes advantage of the people around them, it shouldn't matter if they are family or not whether you treat them more kindly than a stranger. To me, basing respect or better behavior on blood ties is a matter of pride, and I don't believe in it as an excuse or loophole . I don't mean to sound heartless, it's just that I've grown to find the importance of blood family hard to wrap my mind around and sort of unfathomable because I like to focus on the individual rather than their association.

So why should it matter to me that someone is my blood family? Why is it more important that I cherish a jerk of an uncle versus a much closer non-blood related friend? If someone dies, related or not, I know you can't replace them, and it shouldn't matter karma wise who I treat better, worse, or equally. Given the right people, anyone can feel like "family" to me.

So why is blood tied family so important?
