How has car safety evolved and what comes next?
Manufacturers have a tough ask when it comes to bringing car safety features into their lineups. While their engineers are more than capable of creating solutions that do the job, they're pitching their ideas to a tough crowd.
For example, enthusiasts often aren't interested, and would prefer vehicles went back to the spartan days of classic sports cars, where even seat belts were often optional. Casual car-buyers, on the other hand, expect safety technologies as standard.
With the battle to satisfy both parties, as well as the need to meet strict ANCAP guidelines for secure vehicles, technicians have rapidly evolved what it means to have a safe car over the years. What originally began as little more than stretching a belt across your person eventually morphed into airbags, stability control and now complex arrays of computers and sensors to let the car make its own choices.
So, working from the seat belt to modern day computer wizardry, here are some of the most important safety developments that shaped the past, present and are now changing the future.
The seat belt, pride of Sweden
Believe it or not, what is now the subject of numerous road safety campaigns and second nature for modern drivers and passengers wasn't created until the 1930s. Even then, the devices consisted of little more than a lap belt, and were only a suggestion for manufacturers and motorists.
It wasn't until 1958 that Nils Bohlin invented the three point seat belt that still adorns modern vehicles. Few will be surprised that Mr Bohlin worked for Volvo, the Swedish marque with a passion for making some of the safest vehicles on the planet, like the XC90 SUV – a car endorsed by Jeremy Clarkson himself.
In fact, the company even once claimed that by 2020, no person would be killed in a Volvo due to an accident. It's a bold claim, and one the firm has since backed down from, but it doesn't diminish the intent.
Obviously, seat belts are now compulsory for manufacturers to install and vehicle occupants to wear. While it's difficult to tell just how many lives Mr Bohlin has saved with such a simple piece of engineering, the seat belt is undoubtedly one of the most important design developments to make its way into vehicles.
Airbags, the key to impact protection
Airbags are an interesting invention, bursting out from within the car to catch and hold your head in an impact. It's certainly not a comfortable sensation, but it's infinitely better to be punched in the face with a bag of air than it is to hit your head on anything else in a car.
Although the patents for these life-saving devices were originally filed in the early 50s, a working model wasn't patented until 1968 and it took a further three years for them to start appearing in cars thanks to General Motors. The Oldsmobile Toronado ended up being the first production vehicle to carry the invention, but these proved to do more harm than good.
By 1992, thanks to regulatory pressure from the US government, every vehicle manufactured for the US market came equipped with airbags, a milestone in driver safety.
Naturally, manufacturers soon saw the potential of airbags, realising they can be used for more than just protecting forward head movement in head-on accidents. In the mid-90s, side impact airbags started to make their way into vehicles as standard, keeping people safe in dangerous T-bone accidents as well.
Soon, the number of airbags fitted to vehicles steadily began to climb, with front and rear passenger airbags joining the fray to keep occupants safe in any type of impact.
Driver aids, prevention is better than a cure
While there's no disputing that the above developments saved plenty of lives over their years of evolution, engineers soon realised they could save even more lives if they reduced the likelihood of accidents happening. After all, airbags and seatbelts don't actually do anything to stop car crashes from occurring, they simply aim to mitigate their effects.
The problem is that car control is not taught to all drivers. Sure, we can all make the car go, stop and turn safely, but when conditions begin to foul and we need to take evasive action, most of us turn into Mr Bean rather than Mr Peter Brock.
During these adventurous manoeuvres, the skills, reactions and foresight needed to control a car safely goes beyond the realm of the casual motorist and into the domain of race car driver. Rather than try and teach the world's drivers how to deftly shift their Toyota Corolla into a perfect Scandinavian flick, manufacturers realised it was probably best just to let computers do the job.
One of the first major developments to take the world by storm was traction control, a system that does exactly what it says on the tin. For motorists with a lead foot or a powerful car, it's easy to inadvertently lose grip, especially as conditions deteriorate and rain compromises stability.
Traction control essentially takes your power to accelerate away from you if it detects you're misbehaving. Sensors monitor wheel speed, so if you're spinning one or both in a reckless manner, traction control systems will automatically reduce engine power.
Electronic stability control (ESC) takes this further. Where traction control helps drivers retain control under power, ESC prevents vehicles from spinning out when changing direction, whether that's due to the need for evasive action or simply underestimating the road's conditions.
While the car can't take control of the steering wheel for you – yet, autonomous cars are on their way – it can influence its direction in other ways. To straighten out a spinning car, ESC will change the brake pressure on certain wheels to reduce the severity of the moment.
Autonomous emergency braking, the precursor to the future
As we said above, autonomous technology is on the rise in modern vehicles, simultaneously defining the present and the future of safety technology. Although government regulations still need to catch up with the technology to truly allow the computers to take over, manufacturers are slowly drip feeding the evolutions into modern vehicles.
In particular, autonomous emergency braking (AEB) has been proven by ANCAP to make a noticeable difference in preventing rear-end collisions. The organisation published research that was produced in conjunction with the Australian Medical Association (AMA), using it to pilot the Avoid the crash, Avoid the trauma campaign.
According to AMA President Professor Brian Owler, motorists can count on this technology to enhance safe driving behaviours.
"Road safety and public health go hand in hand," he said. "Road trauma has an enormous impact on the lives of everyday Australians and our health system."
"We must do all we can to eliminate it, and governments have an important role to play, especially in working with the car industry to make cars safer, preferably by making life-saving technology like AEB standard features in all new cars."
ANCAP's figures show that AEB can reduce the chance of rear-end collisions by up to 38 per cent. Furthermore, nearly 90 per cent of all car accidents involve human error in some manner. By introducing technologies such as AEB, this risk is eliminated as computers can fill in the gaps of a driver's skill.
Of course, this is only the start of autonomous safety developments, and the future is likely to bring further advancements.Google+

2015 daiwa saltiga 6500
So I was very lucky and got to pick up the new combo
i can not believe how smooth it is. It feels smoother than the Stella's I have.
i have spooled it with PE6. 92lb daiwa saltiga braid and matched it with a
Wilson venom live fibre PE5-10. 450g jig spin rod looking forward to winter
i got a great deal from my local tackle shop Charlton's fishing always great service from these guys

Very sexy bit of kit ya got there mate
Re: 2015 daiwa saltiga 6500
M8 enjoy the reel just ensure U give it a good clean after each fishing trip with warm soapy water.
Re: 2015 daiwa saltiga 6500
Yeah make sure you give it a good tub and oil every time and it will last a lifetime ,my 4500 saltiga has caught hundreds of fish over the last 7 yrs Iv had it and it is still strong but does have a little corrosion on the bail arm when I didn't clean it properly once but it's only cosmetic.

Re: 2015 daiwa saltiga 6500
Thanks for the tips guys I have always used Shimano religiously and I've got a couple of older Stella's 4000,8000 but they are no where near as smooth as this.
I asked the shop about servicing and I was told only if it makes noise's as no rubber seals all oil sealedhappy days ahead summer is coming
Re: 2015 daiwa saltiga 6500
Mines never had a service and never sounded like it needs one and I have caught some decent kingies in 50-80 mt one after the other mate . MattA bad days fishing has got to be better than any day at work......
Re: 2015 daiwa saltiga 6500
Little bit jealous right here, great reel Jsmfun. My old Expo 6500 is a machine and is still as smooth as the day I bought it. And there is no worrying about salt water intrusion. Give it a wipe down with warm water, dry it off, give it a quick spray another wipe and back in its bag. A reel that will serve you well for years. Money well spent I think. Now I just need to pay off the new one.
Re: 2015 daiwa saltiga 6500
Awesome looking combo bud. Please let us know how it's going into the future as I almost purchased a saltiga last year and after all the feedback I got from people I know that have them and had issues and friends that work at and own tackle stores that have sold a heap of both satigas and STELLA'S and had not much good to say about the saltiga's as they have had most of them back after only a few uses (two of them sold to one guy same day and used on one trip) then Daiwa take about three weeks to send them back and say "not warranty". They had not had any STELLA'S have any issues so I bought a SW5000XG and an SW8000HG and absolutly love them so I went and bought the FI4000XG and a FI2500. So I would be really interested in some more honest feed back from a Saltiga owner as I would still like to buy one (or two......or three ) as I still love the look of them.
PS. one thing I have noticed since forking out the big dollars for the high end gear is that it's not necessary but I am having trouble buying anything but as the high end gear is so much nicer to use and makes fishing a whole lot more enjoyable, and how would've thought that was possible
Re: 2015 daiwa saltiga 6500
Re the above post, first hand, I can tell you about Daiwas after sales service: there is none. I got the "not warranty" on a 4500 Saltiga and 3500 Certate a few years ago. And not after 3 weeks, I think it was closer to 4 months they had the reels. The 4500 was never right after they had it and the Certates anti reverse has fail now after very little use.
I wouldn't take another Daiwa reel if they gave me one.fruit salad is the new Bacon
Re: 2015 daiwa saltiga 6500
Let's hope these newer models are better. I own a 4000,8000sw Stella's and a 6000 swb
and the saltiga is smoother and quieter. Only landed 1 fish on it so far and smashed it in 5 min in 60m of water.
I was very impressed. I also have a saltiga 40 overhead and it's my go to reel I have had it for 3 years it has landed everything from marlin to snappa.happy days ahead summer is coming
Re: 2015 daiwa saltiga 6500
In in all the years Iv been fishing I personally have many top end daiwa and shim and Reels and after a few shim amo deaths I turned to daiwa and have had trouble free use of these reels as do friends of mine in the charter and fishing industry ,my saltiga has been abused and caught hundreds of fish as have mine and the wife's certates old and new models . The main problems that I have heard of is bail arm rollers yet none ,again I will say none of mine have had an issue that has needed to be returned for warranty so I don't understand how you can have a problem unless it's from misuse or lack of following basic cleanliness issues but up to you . I think wide sweeping statements about daiwa said equipment is wrong and you only have to speak to people in the charter industry and they will tell you that lack of maintenance is the biggest issue with ANY top end gear ,but to each there own .. MattA bad days fishing has got to be better than any day at work......
Re: 2015 daiwa saltiga 6500
I agree with some of the above statement. Nothing will last if it's abused or neglected. I will also say that I've had a great run out of some of my Daiwa reels. But, and this is the deal breaker, when the 5hit hits the fan, Daiwa just weren't there for me, on 2 top line reels that I paid good money for. The Saltiga 4500 had done very little work. To complete my anti Daiwa/positive Shimano story, after the fiasco of the Saltiga and Certate, I sold most of my Daiwa stuff and bought Shimano. I had an issue with a 20k Stella where the handle would not wind into the body. I rang the shop where I bought it and they got the Qld Shimano rep to call me. Old mate came to my house that afternoon, picked up the reel, then rang me after an hour or so. He then delivered a new reel, functioning perfectly the next morning. That's been my only issue with any of my Shimano gear.
So, as a result, anytime anyone asks, I will bag the 5hit out of Daiwa and praise Shimano. Which reel is a poofteenth better than the other is irrelevant.fruit salad is the new Bacon

Problem is, the UK ones are:
The reality is that the Vlocity units are quite sufficient - their acceleration is pretty decent and given they don't have to stop very often in the Metro area I doubt they take up much more than a standard electric train path anyway. Indeed, a former driver once claimed that an underpowered T class on a goods train didn't really take up much more than an electric path anyway, especially once it got going for the simple reason an experienced driver who was paying attention could keep it moving at a relatively constant speed in between electric trains stopping and starting at every station despite the far superior acceleration and power/weight ratio of the latter.
- Designed for AC 25kV so would require modification for 1500V DC. If UK EMUs on the Southern region are any guide, they would be potentially be speed limited to avoid drawing excess current and I suspect the lines they operate on here would still need electrical upgrades.
- The diesel part of the bi-mode units is relatively underpowered compared to the electric part. They are primarily designed for electric operation with a short length of diesel operation at the end of the route. The usage being suggested for here is the opposite - a short length of electric running followed by longer lengths of diesel running. I would imagine that the uphill nature of the Bendigo line would also be a challenge for an underpowered diesel solution. To be fair, what is underpowered for the UK might well be OK by Victorian standards... As an aside, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that in terms of acceleration on diesel power, a HST has better acceleration. I should try and find that source again, it was possibly Modern Railways I read it.
The 17:37 from Flinders Street only runs with 3 carriages ( 222 seats) may have a capacity of 400 people and if a Metro service was to replace it - could hold up to 528 seats (about 800 - 1000 people) and with new metro trains having capacity of least 1380 gross train capacity (1100 passenger 'planning load' capacity) .
Electrification of the Traralgon line would allow the government to run any service or stopping pattern along the line with the following benefits:

In this December 12, 2005, photo, Aaron Hernandez poses for a photo in Bristol, Conn.
July 16, 2012: An SUV pulls up to a BMW on an overpass in South Boston and someone sprays a volley of bullets into the sedan, according to the Boston Globe.
(CNN) - Former New England Patriots star and convicted killer Aaron Hernandez is dead today.
(AP Photo/Winslow Townson, File). FILE - In this Sunday, Jan. 22, 2012, file photo, New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez puts on a Super Bowl cap following the AFC Championship NFL football game against the Baltimore Ravens in Foxborough, Mas.
Hernandez, who was serving a life sentence for murder, apparently killed himself in his prison cell on Wednesday. It's not clear what they may have discussed.
The body of the 27-year-old former athlete was found hanging from a bed sheet at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley, Massachusetts.
Fallon said he was not aware of any suicide note and officials had no reason to believe Hernandez was suicidal.
The question of why Hernandez would end his own life might go unanswered.
Investigators said Hernandez was in a single cell in a general population housing unit when he was found.
August 27, 2012: Hernandez signs a $40 million contract with the Patriots - and immediately donates $50,000 to a Patriots' charity.
The Worcester County district attorney's office and the Correction Department are investigating. State police spokesman Dave Procopio also cites the "active" investigation.
"There's no reason to withhold the brain", he said in front of the state medical examiner's office in Boston.
Hernandez's body was released to the Faggas Funeral Home in Watertown following the autopsy.
MA state police say they have launched an investigation into former National Football League star Aaron Hernandez's death by hanging in prison.
He was already serving a life sentence without possibility of parole for the separate killing of his close friend Odin Lloyd - a conviction he was appealing. The one-time star tight end for the new England patriots Aaron Hernandez was found dead in his prison cell this morning on the same day when his former teammates from the patriots were at the white house celebrating a super bowl win.
'The family and legal team is shocked and surprised at the news of Aaron's death, ' Baez said in a statement obtained by DailyMail.com. Many were searching for an explanation to the tragic end of a young man whose football skills at one point earned him a five-year, $40 million contract extension with the NFL's top franchise.
"Aaron was looking forward to an opportunity for a second chance to prove his innocence" in an appeal of the 2013 verdict, Baez said.
'We are heartbroken and we are determined to find the truth. The family wanted to bring the brain to Boston University for further study, Baez said, and he is concerned that the findings could be compromised by the delay.
Friends were grieving in CT, where Hernandez was raised.
Witnesses at Hernandez's two murder trials painted a picture of a troubled man who often used illegal narcotics and at times believed strangers were challenging or disrespecting him. "That was a positive thing in our minds", said Alex Cugno, who grew up with Hernandez in Bristol. "It just doesn't add up".

Texas Advocates for Justice offers leadership and community organizing trainings for formerly incarcerated individuals and families affected by incarceration.
Our Leadership Training:
Texas Advocates for Justice was formed out of the need to organize and lift up the voices of those most impacted by and concerned about over-incarceration and criminalization of our communities. Recognizing that Texas incarcerates more people than any other state, and that a majority of those incarcerated in Texas come from Houston, we began our organizing there. We believe that people who have been directly affected by incarceration, together with their families, should lead the movement for change in Texas. We offer intensive community organizing trainings designed to build on the expertise, experience, and powerful commitment of our members. Graduates of our training become members of our action network where we put our training into practice and advance our mission to end the criminalization of our communities.
Texas Advocates for Justice – TAJ
"Texas Advocates for Justice, the group, is built on the idea that no one is better suited to lead the fight to change criminal justice policies than individuals who lives, families, and communities have been devastated by those policies. Texas Advocates for Justice, the movie, is true to that same premise. Opening with the chilling spoken word of Nikki Luellen, TAJ the movie follows the members of the advocacy group as they train and support each other for what will be a long battle – tearing down the belief that cages belong in our society. Full of hope and fierce determination, the film will surely take its place among the best of the genre."

Level 4 Design Course – City and Guilds 2396
The 2396 Design and Verification course is aimed at those that want to take their knowledge a little further, it has applications across the board from domestic to industrial.
The designing process will also give you a more complete understanding of other installations, from things like why a certain wiring route may have been used all the way through to why that specific cable type and wiring system was chosen. It also helps massively when testing as it will give you a different perspective on what may be going on behind the scenes.
There are two assessments involved in the course, one of which is a 3 hour written exam; the exam is open book and will be based on all of the things involved in the course. The other assessment will be a portfolio of work that needs to be completed, for this you will be asked to complete the electrical design for a full installation.

There would always be a time in your life when you wake up with a surprise invitation you just can't say no to. As for me, I was still half asleep when I sluggishly picked up my phone and answered a shocking call. Instances like this can either be good or bad. In my case, however, it was definitely a good one! Last year, I spent my Araw ng Kagitingan at La Mesa Eco Park. This year, I rocked the holiday in Tagaytay. Obviously, this trip is unplanned (yes, that's the surprise call I was talking about).
Robin, Dionna, Rea and I visited the farthest tourist spot in Tagaytay (coming from Manila). This, my friends, is Sonya's Garden. Sonya's Garden opened in 1998. However, don't let the name fool you into thinking that it's just a garden. The place has a restaurant, a spa, a panaderia, a store for scents, a service for bed & breakfast, and many more. Surely, this romantic place would cater well for wedding receptions.
Anyway, the place welcomed us with lush greenery. This only meant one thing for us—unlimited picture taking!
Aside from the beautiful flowers, Robin saw this odd fruit of some sort, so we messed with it. When we got home, we found out that it's called 'titty fruit'. Well, I can't say I didn't find this funny. Haha!
Morning Glory, The Conservatory, and The Sunflower are the restaurants you'd find at Sonya's Garden. Unfortunately, we only found Morning Glory.
Here is what we saw from a store selling various scents.
Meanwhile, we entered a house full of Parisian-inspired stuff. Everything looks lovely there. I wanted to take home one of the items!
There is also a panaderia where the famous cheese hopia could be found. This bread costs P100.00 per pack, but we did not buy it. We settled on beaming in front of the store. Cray-cray! After that, we went to Carlo's Pizza to have dinner.

The National Transport Commission (NTC) has released a much anticipated policy paper to facilitate the introduction of automated vehicles on Australian roads. Its recommendations will set the direction for regulatory reform and policy development in all states and territories to achieve a nationally consistent framework.
The policy paper is the culmination of a one-year project to identify and overcome existing barriers to the safe introduction of more automated vehicles. Following two rounds of industry consultation (which generated around 80 submissions) and a detailed audit of existing legislative controls, the paper's findings and recommendations have now received formal approval from the Transport and Infrastructure Council.
The NTC has now commenced the consultation process for the implementation of the first set of recommendations, which has been targeted for early 2017.
What's in the policy paper?
The policy paper makes 9 recommendations following a regulatory reform timeline split into 3 phases (near-term, medium-term and long-term reforms). A phased approach was identified as particularly important by the NTC given that technology in this area is constantly evolving, and moving too quickly may see Australia fall out of step with international standards, or create bad law not suited to the eventual directions the technology takes. The reform timeline is based on the following assumptions:
- There is already demand to trial vehicles with varying levels of automation on public roads, which will only increase in the next two to three years.
- Large-scale deployment of increasingly automated (but not fully automated) vehicles will occur by 2020.
- Large-scale deployment of fully automated vehicles will occur sometime after 2020.
The NTC has also placed a clear emphasis on ensuring that any reform is consistent with international standards and fosters a harmonised approach in Australia.
Classifying automated driving functions
The NTC recommends that the SAE International Standard J3016 be used to distinguish different types of automated vehicles, based on their level of automation. This standard, which was widely supported in submissions made to the NTC, defines the following categories of automation:
- Partially automated – where the vehicle has some automated features but the human driver must at all times monitor the driving environment and the automated system and can intervene if required.
- Conditionally automated – where the automated system is able to drive for sustained periods of time without a human monitoring the driving environment or the automated system, but where the human driver can take control of driving and can intervene if required.
- Highly automated – where the automated system drives the vehicle for sustained periods of time or in defined areas without a human monitoring the driving environment or the automated system, and a human is not required to take control of driving or intervene while the automated system drives the vehicle.
- Fully automated - where the automated system drives the vehicle at all times.
Reform timeline
The NTC's overall reform timeline is summarised in the diagram below:
The NTC's immediate priorities are to enable an increased number of on-road trials of automated vehicles to be conducted across Australia, to increase awareness of and public confidence in automated driving technology and to identify the regulatory challenges that will be most pertinent going forward. To give effect to this, the policy paper recommends that:
- the NTC (along with Ausroads) develop national field testing guidelines for trials and on-road testing of automated vehicles (submissions on the guidelines are now open, and may be made here until 16 January 2017); and
- state and territory road and transport agencies undertake an immediate review of existing exemption powers to ensure that those bodies have necessary powers to undertake and manage on-road trials.
The NTC also proposes to develop national enforcement guidelines in the next 12 months to clarify the concepts of "control" and "proper control" of vehicles with varying levels of automation. To provide some immediate direction and certainty for industry participants on this issue, the Transport and Infrastructure Council has taken the interim step of confirming its existing policy position in respect of driver control that for vehicles that are partially and conditionally automated, the human driver has full control for legal purposes (e.g. for allocating liability in the event of an accident).
Medium-term reforms
The NTC's overall objective for the medium term is to create a complete regulatory framework to support the large-scale roll-out of automated vehicles.
In early 2017, the NTC proposes to commence development of a performance based safety assurance regime for vehicles that don't require a human driver (i.e. highly automated and fully automated vehicles). The concept of a safety assurance regime received unanimous support in submissions to the NTC, and could, for example, include new licence, registration or accreditation schemes. Following the implementation of the assurance regime:
- the NTC will propose legislative reforms that clarify the meaning of "driver" and "driving", paving the way for automated driving systems to be regarded as in control and the removal of the human driver as the person legally liable for the operation of the vehicle; and
- state and territory governments will review compulsory insurance schemes (i.e. third party and national injury schemes) to ensure appropriate coverage is in place for accidents involving automated vehicles.
Long-term reforms
In late 2017, the NTC proposes to commence work on developing a regime for government access to automated vehicle data, which will seek to strike a balance between the need for network efficiency and enforcement of traffic laws against protecting the privacy of individuals (our earlier article on the privacy implications of connected cars can be found here).
As the NTC noted, the issues surrounding access to data from connected and automated vehicles is also currently under examination by both the Productivity Commission (in the context of data availability and use more generally) and the ACCC (in its study of the new car market).
As the automated vehicle industry evolves, the NTC envisages that existing outdated standards are likely to be a barrier to large-scale deployment of highly and fully automated vehicles. The NTC sees this as a global issue, and recommends that the Commonwealth Government continues to engage with the United Nations Working Party 29 on vehicle standards, and through supporting the development and adoption of international standards into the Australian Design Rules for new cars, in order to promote ongoing international harmonisation in this area.
The NTC's policy paper is an important first step in implementing the very significant regulatory reforms required to facilitate the increasing use of vehicle automation technology in Australia. This is a global trend that will no doubt revolutionise the nature of road transport for the next generation, and bring with it significant productivity benefits. It is important for Australian regulators to engage with these issues in a positive way so that Australia is not left as an interested bystander, rather than active participant, in this revolution.

Liam Neeson currently outdoes Chuck Norris on a "Bad A**" Scale
|Voting Style:
|Point System:
|7 Point
|5 years ago
|Post Voting Period
|2,005 times
|Debate No:
1. Chuck Norris is getting too old & overrated.
For as long as I can remember I have always seemed to hear a Chuck Norris joke at least 3-5 times a week. This has been going on for years & years. I personally think the Chuck jokes have simply gotten too old & I feel like we need a "New Chuck Norris". I feel Liam is the perfect fit.
2. Liam Neeson has played more "Bad A**" roles on television (I will only name movies from 1990 to today)
A. Danny Scoular in The Big Man
B. Peyton Westlake in Darkman
C. Rob Roy in Rob Roy
D. Michael Collins in Michael Collins
E. Jean Valjean in Les Mis"rables
F. Qui-Gon Jinn in The Phantom Menace
G. Charlie Mayo in Gun Shy
H. Vasili Arkhipov in K-19: The Widowmaker
I. "Priest" Vallon in Gangs of New York
J. Henri Ducard/Ra's al Ghul in Batman Movies
K. Aslan in The Chronicles of Narnia
L. Carver in Seraphim Falls
M. Bryan Mills in Taken
N. Zeus in Clash of the Titans
M. John "Hannibal" Smith in The A-Team
O. Damon Pennington in The Next Three Days
P. Dr. Martin Harris in Unkown
Q. John Ottway in The Grey
R. Admiral Shane in Battleship
That's 18 movies that I personally would consider Liam to be playing "Bad A**" characters...
Like I said, I'm looking forward to a great debate & I can't wait to see what my opponent has to say...
"Chuck Norris is getting too old & overrated."
I would like to counter this with saying that I believe Liam Neeson is not only getting too old (he is age 60 and nearing retirement http://en.wikipedia.org...) but also overrated considering that it was nearly impossible for me not to see blasted on a billboard anywhere "Taken 2" when it was the craze and in fact virtually all his movies, and he himself has head-over-heels fans making sites such as this http://tinyurl.com... all over the internet.
"Liam Neeson has played more "Bad A**" roles on television (I will only name movies from 1990 to today)"
A Bada$$ scale is a measure of quality, not quantity. An unfortunately, other than Star Wars and Batman Liam Neeson's movies has rather pathetic, artificial fighting compared to the brutal martial-art fuelled action films of Chuck Norris.

My contentions are as follows:
1. Norris follows his own fighting style while Neeson does nothing more than mimic pre-made CIA styled ones, overused in virtually all modern day secret-agent action movies.
Norris created the martial art Chun Kuk Do, which is based primarily on Tang Soo Do and includes elements from every combat style he knows. Like many other martial arts, Chun Kuk Do includes a code of honor and rules to live by. These rules are from Chuck Norris's personal code. They are:
I will develop myself to the maximum of my potential in all ways.
I will forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements.
I will continually work at developing love, happiness and loyalty in my family.
I will look for the good in all people and make them feel worthwhile.
If I have nothing good to say about a person, I will say nothing.
I will always be as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
I will maintain an attitude of open-mindedness.
I will maintain respect for those in authority and demonstrate this respect at all times.
I will always remain loyal to my God, my country, family and my friends.
I will remain highly goal-oriented throughout my life because that positive attitude helps my family, my country and myself.
Like most traditional martial arts, Chun Kuk Do includes the practice of forms (or kata). The majority of the system's forms are taken from Shotokan, but also includes 1 organization form, and three weapons forms from Isshin Ryu. http://tinyurl.com...
Pyong An Cho Dan
Pyong An Yi Dan
Pyong An San Dan
Pyong An O Dan
Heian Godan
Bassai Dai
Kanku Dai
Tokumine-No-Kun(Bo kata)
Urashi Bo(Bo kata)
Shishi-No-Kun-No-Dai(Advanced bo kata for 3rd degree black belt)
UFAF Form 1(part 1, required for red belt)
UFAF Form 1(part 2, required for black belt)
2. The role that Chuck Norris, consistently plays, is that of an inventive crazy man amongst hugely trained martial artists whilst Neeson merely plays a highly trained assassin against many inexperienced fighting newbies.
In basically every single Neeson movie he is almost always an extremely highly trained assassin of some kind who always, for some reason, fights newbies. It's not even in Taken, where this is most blatantly obvious, but in Star Wars (where his defeat is by pure luck of Darth Maul's blade with him, during the whole movie only fighting idiotic droids) but also in Batman, whereby he just happens to be the most highly recognised, feared and well-off fighter of all the villains of Batman Ra's al-Ghul who, for the vast majority of the movie was only fighting amateurs.
On the other hand, Chuck Norris in every single one of his movies has been an EXTREMELY out manned, outnumbered or outgunned fighter who gets through by his pure hard-core bada$$ spirit.
3. In all of Chuck Norris' movies the only person to genuinely beat him off was the highest ranked Kung Fu martial artist/actor of all time. Liam Neeson, in both Star Wars and Batman is fought off by a less-ranked fighter.
Parksterthejenkins forfeited this round.
Aww don't pull a Neeson on me...
Parksterthejenkins forfeited this round.
Chuck Norris doesn't lose debates, he lets you beat him or actually tries.
You just got tried on.

As many may know Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or also known as CTS is a common ailment for people whose job or hobby requires them to type a lot. Aside from people who type often in their jobs, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome may also happen to people whose job or hobby require them to perform many repetitive movements using their wrists, fingers, and hands. There are many causes for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. People with health issues like rheumatoid or thyroid disease as well as those with diabetes are also prone to developing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The good news is there are things that can be done to prevent the development of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. You must take note of these preventions, especially if you are predisposed to developing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, as this can be a serious ailment that can affect not only your work or hobby, but also your whole life.
Tips to Prevent Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Set up your workplace right.
Setting up your place of work the right way can help in preventing the development of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. In addition, you also have to set up your keyboard properly. By doing so, you will be able to maintain correct posture when working. The correct posture when typing should be having the keyboard at the same height as the wrists to prevent wrist strains.
- Don't be shy, sit closer to your work desk.
Included in the correct posture would be sitting closer to your work desk. You should not slouch as well as avoid shifting your chin forward when sitting. Chin shifts usually happen when you are in a slouching position. Try to always maintain a 90-degree position relative to your hips and knees. As for your feet, they must be laid on the floor flat. Always sit upright and maintain a proper posture.
- Use some wrist accessories.
Yes, even your wrist has its accessories apart from your bracelet and watch. You can also get a wrist rest for it. This will help you prevent any wrist straining while typing.
- Do some wrist exercises.
There are some exercises that you can perform to specifically avoid Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Do these exercises before working or typing to warm up your wrists as well as to avoid straining them. A simple exercise would require you to shake your hands before typing. Do this for a full minute. You can also close your hand into a fist for about 10 seconds. These exercises will only use less than two minutes of your time, but they will be protecting you from possible development of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
- Take frequent breaks, you workaholic!
Yes, your work is important, but your health is important, too! With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome you will no longer be able to do the work that you love the most. So, take frequent breaks to rest your wrists, your mind, and your body. Walk away from your work desk and take a decent half hour break. You can alarm your phone or download software that will remind you when you need to take a break.
These are actually simple methods on how you can prevent the dreaded Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, yet they are effective and must not be taken for granted. If you are not successful in the prevention of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome then the next stage is to looks for effective Carpal Tunnel Syndrome treatments.

When James Dondero was young, his parents did not have much money. He remembers wishing he could have some of the items the children in his neighborhood had at the time. James does not regret this part of his childhood. He believes it was this struggle that pushed him to want to get educated in finances and in the laws governing finances, primarily in the United States.
In high school, James Dondero made it a point to take as many math and finance classes as possible. Even with his hefty workload, James Dondero still managed to graduate at to top of his class. This did not just stop there, James obtained several different degrees from well-known colleges, and he graduated at the top of his class at those colleges, too. Additionally, James went to a prestigious law school and graduated at the top of his class there.
A few internships later, James Dondero is the now the CEO of Highland Capital Mangement. This organization helps businesses keep track of their finances, get loans, and make proper investments. James Dondero has helped some of the most famous business owners figure out their finances. Highland Capital Management has also been the recipient of several awards in the field of finances.
In addition to helping businesses, James uses earned income to help Dallas, Texas. Highland Capital Management is known for donating almost 100 million dollars to Dallas, Texas. This money does not just go into a general account. James makes sure this money is used to build community centers, zoos, and to send children to private high schools and local colleges. James hopes to do more for the city of Dallas in the coming years. He also hopes to partner with other financial institutions in Dallas that want to generously help the city.

For five years, the back-to-school edition of Montgomery Extra has signaled the resumption of Homeroom, a forum in which readers and I have discussed all kinds of issues related to education, from heavy backpacks to reading research.
Today, however, marks not a resumption but an end. I have taken a job with the Education Trust, an advocacy organization based in the District that works to improve the academic achievement of all children, particularly poor children and children of color. So this is my last Homeroom column.
Like a parent sending her first child off to college (which I also am), I've thought of all kinds of things to tell you before we part company.
The most important is that parents, students, teachers and other members of the public should never feel intimidated about asking questions about what schools do and why they do it. Public schools are public institutions, and the people running them have an obligation to explain what they do and why. The conversation should be civil and respectful -- as befits small-d democrats (none of that desk-pounding, "I-can-buy-and-sell-you" stuff) -- but continual.
As a parent, I know it is not always easy to have those conversations. People who run schools often are not accustomed to explaining their decisions to parents and sometimes fend off questions with bland assertions about how they know best because of their experience and expertise or because "research" says so.
But real experts -- and in 25 years in journalism I have been privileged to speak with quite a number of them -- don't hide behind their expertise. They explain what they do, citing specific research with a clear explanation of why that research is reliable and relevant, and then they study their results and make necessary changes.
That's the kind of plain speaking we should expect from people who run schools.
For example, an elementary school student who is assigned to the lowest reading group should get a clear explanation of the kind of help he will get and what he and his parents need to do to propel him into the highest reading group. A middle or high school student who is assigned to non-honors classes should be told what help she will be given and what standards she will need to meet to be ready for honors and Advanced Placement classes and, eventually, college.
And, by the way, we need to acknowledge that every child is headed for college. Our society has simply become too complex to be able to successfully negotiate without more education than is possible in the 13 years between kindergarten and high school graduation.
This has become painfully clear to me as I've spoken with many students at Montgomery College who are essentially repeating high school in college remedial classes. Some always wanted to go to college but were never helped to get ready by their teachers or guidance counselors. Some ignored help by teachers and guidance counselors, only to be stunned by the realities of the marketplace into returning for more education. These kids are going to college the hard way, but they are still going.
It would be a lot easier for everyone if we just assumed all kids are going to college and then made sure they are prepared.
Parents need to be alert to signs that their children are struggling. Most important, they need to be aware of how well their children read. Parents whose children are not on track to read well by the middle of first grade or the beginning of second grade should ask their schools for targeted intervention. Parents of older children who are not reading well -- particularly if they are in high school -- might have to be persistent in their requests for help, but they shouldn't stop.
Parents can help their children by taking the televisions out of kids' bedrooms and reading to them from an early age. Don't stop when kids get older; choose books that are a little harder than they can read on their own, exposing them to sophisticated vocabulary, syntax and content in a way they can absorb. Parents who don't feel confident in their own reading ability should borrow books-on-tape from the library.
Another thing parents should do -- particularly those whose children are struggling in school -- is to ask for the credentials and qualifications of each of their children's teachers. A child who is struggling needs an experienced, knowledgeable, skillful teacher. If, instead, she is assigned to a brand-new teacher for the third year in a row, her parents need to request a change. This request should be made civilly and politely, with the full knowledge that a new teacher may someday be a great teacher, but it should be made.
Children who are successful in school can survive an indifferent teacher, but those who are struggling are at severe risk of failure if they do not get teachers who have track records of getting kids to learn.
What I have advised might seem like common sense, but it is also revolutionary. Many schools and school systems have not organized themselves so that their neediest kids get their most expert teachers. In fact, for a variety of reasons, expert teachers tend to drift toward the easiest-to-teach kids, leaving the struggling kids to inexperienced or inexpert teachers.
This is true even in Montgomery County, where salaries are high enough to attract a high-quality teaching force. Even here, 8.8 percent of teachers are conditionally certified, which means, at the least, that they are new to teaching in Maryland and often means they are new to teaching altogether.
Those new teachers are not evenly distributed among the schools but, rather, concentrated in the highest-poverty, highest-need schools and classrooms. For example, the high schools in the county with the highest percentage of uncertified teachers are Gaithersburg High School, with 20.2 percent; Northwest, with 18.6; Einstein, with 14.4; Kennedy, with 13.5; and Blair, with 12.1. All of those schools have significant numbers of poor kids and children of color, and they all have significant numbers of kids who are struggling. Except for Northwest, more than a third of the 10th-graders at each of those schools failed to read proficiently on state tests last year.
These schools should have the fewest uncertified teachers in the county. The fact that they don't have their fair share of experienced teachers is a mark of how much Superintendent Jerry D. Weast and the county school board have neglected fundamental issues involved in making sure Montgomery County has a uniformly high-quality school system.
For those who are interested in that kind of information about the schools, a wealth of information is available. The first stop is www.mdreportcard.org, and I advise anyone interested in this stuff to wander around the Web site of the state Department of Education, www.marylandpublicschools.org/MSDE.
The information there should lead to good, serious discussions between parents and school leaders at PTA meetings, civic association meetings and anywhere else people who care about our county gather centered on such questions as: What does our school system need to do to attract experienced and expert teachers? What is the school system doing to make sure its new teachers get the help and support they need to become expert? What training are teachers getting to help their students be better readers?
These discussions should get much more pointed with the new data known as AYP. AYP is an artifact of the federal law known as No Child Left Behind, which says that each state must set standards for all kids and then make Adequate Yearly Progress, or AYP, toward making sure that all students meet those standards by 2014.
There has been a lot of hooey lately about how unfair it is to expect schools to make sure that all kids meet "one-size-fits-all" state standards. Right now, a Maryland school is considered to have met AYP if fewer than half the kids in a school or in a subgroup (such as poor kids and kids with limited English), pass the tests. Passing means answering only about a third to a half of the questions correctly, depending on the test. The kicker is that the exam questions really aren't that hard. (To see samples of the tests, go to www.mdk12.org.)
In other words, Maryland's standards are quite low, and if a school can't get just about all of its children to meet them by 2014, it shouldn't call itself a school but a baby-sitting service.
In closing this farewell column, I want to say that I will miss all of you. Over the years I have received thousands of letters from readers. Some of you agreed with me, some disagreed, but all impressed me with your collective passion. We need passionate debate about schools and education, and I salute all who engage in it. Aside from ensuring our physical survival, our nation has no more important job than making sure young people have the knowledge, skills and values that will propel our democracy into the future, and it is up to all of us to make sure that our schools do exactly that.
It's a big job, but somebody has to do it. Might as well be you.
Karin Chenoweth can be reached at email@example.com until Sept. 7.

Just Go! Tours
Brideshead Visited: Northern England's Mansions
June 1st - June 9th, 2014 —£2495 (approx. $4090). £500 deposit
Hidden in the folds of these ruggedly beautiful counties are some of our most lavish estates, offering an unforgettable tour of English architecture at its grandest.
Sunday 1st June: Arrival
On arrival at Heathrow you will be able to catch a 'Hotel Hoppa' bus direct to our overnight hotel, the Crowne Plaza London Heathrow. In the evening you are invited to join the group for a cocktail, followed by dinner.
Monday 2nd June: Calke Abbey
After breakfast we travel north to visit Calke Abbey. Calke tells the dramatic story of country house decline with its poignant air of faded grandeur. The National Trust call it their 'unstately' home, little restored to represent the many houses that have been lost due to the ravages of time, squandered fortunes and ruinous death duties.
We continue on to the De Vere Hotel Mottram Hall and check in. There'll be time to unpack and freshen up before dinner.
Tuesday 3rd June: Lyme Park and Quarry Bank Mill
This morning we visit Lyme Park. Built in the middle of the 16th century, it is the largest house in Cheshire with a 1,300 acre estate that is home to some spectacular walks and stunning views. Take a stroll through the Edwardian rose garden or discover luxurious herbaceous borders next to the lake. We then head to Quarry Bank Mill and Styal Estate. This restored Georgian mill, complete with hand spinners in authentic costume and Europe's most powerful working waterwheel, offers a rich insight into the earliest days of Britain's industrial past.
Wednesday 4th June: Chatsworth House
We drive through the stunning scenery of the Peak District National Park to spend a full day at Chatsworth House. This magnificent pile is home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire and has witnessed sixteen generations of the powerful Cavendish family. Grandiose interiors, wonderful grounds and a superlative art collection make Chatsworth easily one of Britain's most significant houses. We'll join a private house tour to find out more and be treated to afternoon tea.
Thursday 5th June: Beningbrough Hall and Treasurer's House
After breakfast we check out and travel further north to Yorkshire and Beningbrough Hall. This imposing Georgian pile contains a famous art collection – an imaginative collaboration between the National Trust and the National Portrait Gallery in London. Outside is a wonderful Victorian Walled Garden and labyrinth. We'll join a guided tour which uncovers the house's secrets.
Our next stop is Treasurer's House in the heart of York. The house has a 2,000-year-old history from the Roman road in the cellar to the Edwardian servants' quarters in the attic and was the first house given complete with its contents to the National Trust in 1930. This is thanks to Frank Green, a wealthy industrialist who not only restored this magnificent house but used it to stage his remarkable collection of antique furniture, art and textiles.
From here we go to the Middlethorpe Hall Hotel, arriving in time to unpack and freshen up before dinner.
Friday 6th June: York and Castle Howard
We head back into York, a city steeped in history – from its founding by the Romans in 71AD to the surviving medieval streets known as the Shambles and an iconic cathedral, York Minster. We'll enjoy a guided tour to see its highlights.
From York we go to the magnificent Castle Howard, which has twice appeared as Brideshead in film and television adaptations of Evelyn Waugh's classic novel. Like Blenheim Palace it was built on a jaw-droppingly grand scale by Vanbrugh. We'll enjoy a lecture by one of the castle's curators.
Saturday 7th June: Fountains Abbey, Studley Royal Water Garden and Harrogate
We go to the largest monastic ruin in Britain, Fountains Abbey. Nestling in the Skell Valley, the ruin is surrounded by some 800 acres of gorgeous countryside. We'll enjoy a guided tour of the abbey as well as the beautifully-landscaped Georgian Studley Royal Water Garden, with its wonderful views, cascades, follies and statues.
En-route back to the hotel, we stop in the elegant spa town of Harrogate for time to explore at our leisure.
Sunday 8th June: Hardwick Hall
We leave Yorkshire behind and head south to Derbyshire to visit Hardwick Hall. Ordered in the 16th century by Bess of Hardwick – England's richest woman after her Queen, Elizabeth I – Hardwick is a striking Elizabethan treasure. The lavish number of windows (at a time when glass was a luxury) inspired the neat phrase, 'Hardwick Hall, more glass than wall'. A guided tour with a property expert will bring Hardwick's story to vivid life.
From here we travel back to the Crowne Plaza Hotel close to Heathrow, where we'll enjoy dinner before departure the next day.
Monday 9th June: Departure
Special extras included in your itinerary
- Private house tour and traditional afternoon tea at Chatsworth House
- Guided tour at Beningbrough Hall
