New plans for the Queensland Road area have been unveiled for public consultation by Arsenal FC as part of the Emirates Stadium regeneration programme. In addition, the Club is consulting residents on revised on-street coach parking proposals for the 2008/09 football season.
In order to give local residents the opportunity to see the proposals and to have their say, a Public Exhibition will be held at the Emirates Stadium in the Woolwich Restaurant (East Club and Box entrance) on Tuesday 11th September (1.00pm-8.00pm) and on Wednesday 12th September (10.00am - 6.00pm)
The Existing Queensland Road Proposals
In 2002, as part of Arsenal's new stadium proposals, Islington Council granted planning permission for the regeneration of the Queensland Road area involving a mixed use development of new residential, commercial and leisure uses, including new offices for Arsenal FC. The proposals are still valid but have not been implemented, partly as a result of changes to the Club's requirements, changed market conditions and the need to make the best use of the land.
- A new Queensland Road to the south of its current alignment
- Development along the south side of Queensland Road, involving commercial uses at ground floor level and three storeys of residential above
- Development along part of the northern side of Queensland Road with two levels of commercial uses with four residential towers rising to between 11 and 14 storeys above
- Development along the northern side of Queensland Road with a nine storey office building (subsequently reduced to eight storeys) to be used partly as offices for Arsenal FC
- A vehicle access point to the stadium undercroft via Queensland Road
Reviewing the 2002 Proposals
Events have moved on since 2002, requiring a review of the original Queensland Road proposals. In particular,
- Arsenal FC, which was to have occupied much of the nine storey office block along the western part of the northern side of Queensland Road, has relocated to a new building above the north-east pedestrian access bridge stairways.
- The market for commercial office space has proved to be weak and has raised questions about the viability of this part of the development
- The viability of the original scheme has been further questioned because land acquisition has proved to be significantly more expensive than originally planned
The New Proposals for Queensland Road
The new proposals for Queensland Road follow the same regeneration principles as the 2002 scheme. The new proposals comprise:
- The replacement of the eight storey commercial building on the northern side of Queensland Road with a similar sized residential building
- An increase in height of the four residential towers, with the lowest remaining at 11 storeys and the tallest rising from 14 to 21 storeys
- An overall increase in the number of market and affordable residential units from 288 to around 725
- The creation of a vibrant commercial and leisure destination comprising a Multi-Screen Cinema, Health and Fitness Centre, Restaurants and Bars to replace the previously proposed leisure uses for which there is already a planning permission
- An increase in car parking spaces from 177 to approximately 300, to be shared between residential and commercial users
Coach Parking
The original 2002 planning permission for the new stadium required "that at least 40 coach parking spaces shall be made available for use within the stadium during any major event". In the run up to the opening of the stadium two factors emerged which made it impossible to comply with this planning condition;
- The Metropolitan Police did not support coaches accessing the stadium undercroft during a major event, because of the security risk. This remains the situation today.
- It became apparent that dropping passengers off outside the stadium, parking coaches within the stadium during the match, then picking the passengers up after the match in the same on-street location as the drop-off, would cause unacceptable congestion, additional vehicle movements and much confusion for spectators at times when the area is already very busy.
To take on board these new facts the coach parking condition was revised in 2005. The condition agreed by the Council, following public consultation, is "that at least 40 coach parking spaces shall be made available for use within the stadium during any major event or at other locations(s) outside the stadium previously agreed by the Council".
Locations outside the stadium were agreed as Queensland Road, the Sobell Centre, Hornsey Street, Drayton Park and Finsbury Park. These arrangements worked effectively during the 2006/07 season and have been extended to cover the 2007/08 season and 2008/2009 season.
With the 2007/08 season's experience now available, actual coach numbers parking around the stadium has averaged at only 17 coaches per game - less than half of the anticipated number. In particular, Hornsey Street has only been used three times and Drayton Park and Finsbury Park have not been used at all. This is part of a long term trend, which is expected to see coach numbers decline further in future years.
The redevelopment of Queensland Road will mean this site will no longer be available for coach parking from the 2009/2010 season onwards. However, those remaining sites currently used for coach parking - Sobell Centre, Hornsey Street, Drayton Park can accommodate the forecast demand for coaches- with Finsbury Park being used in exceptional circumstances. Arsenal is currently awaiting approval from Islington Council for these coach parking arrangements.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

For doing heavy weights is there a plus from doing free weights other then machine weights. Thanks in advance.
For doing heavy weights is there a plus from doing free weights other then machine weights. Thanks in advance.
Retired 2k and out.
My understanding is that free weights are superior for all round development because of all the stabilising muscles that you need to use (i.e. you use more muscles with free weights) but machines allow you not to worry about this and focus just on a specific muscle or group. I prefer free weights.

Compound lifts/exercises such as the squat, deadlift, bench press, chins/pullups, SOHP (strict overhead press), Olympic lifts (snatch, clean and jerk), dips etc. and variations thereof, are the cornerstones of any decent training program and you can't do them properly using machines and cables. The only good thing about Smith machines, etc. is that they keep the squat rack and power cages free for the rest of us Why people choose to do leg presses, leg extensions, leg curls and those stupid fucking adductor thingies is totally beyond me. Just fucking squat. Google "Starting Strength" by Mark Rippetoe. The best program for beginners/people who haven't lifted in a while.

Decided to start a new topic. My plan is to initially make a non-functioning pair in both leather, and vinyl. The insides will be solid. Then, using MMM's idea, I will attempt functioning ones by using pieces of metal as support inside.
To me, it's not that important if they function. Fett has a ton of other pockets here and there, and these are pretty narrow for someone with gloved fingers to get inside.
This is just the vertical flap, using BB's 4.5x1.85 figures. The stitching is simulated, since this is only a test run. Although, if I made leather ones, I could do the same thing.....but then the stitch count would probably be off!

I am also a very positive person as much as I can be. I do look forward to hearing from you soon. I originally came from QLD but absolutley love the lifestyle in South Australia. I love going out for long walks, computers and gaming and talking to friends, though at this point in time I will be happy with a place to stay while I continue to look for work. I am happy to catch public transport to where I want to go. Ideally I would like to stay in the northern suburbs if possible. I am happy to hear any offers of accommodation. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Im clean and tidy i am a respectful to others
Hi! I'm quite at first but when I open up I can be cool? I generally keep to myself though, tv, movies, occasional gaming and crafts. I sometimes like to cook, when I feel motivated. So that's something too right?
We're both very clean, friendly, young and energetic people. We study part time so we wouldn't hang around all day. Also responsible when it comes to budgeting money :) (Enjoy's photography, modelling, and making YouTube Video's)

I am looking for somewhere where the bedroom is unfurnished. I am happy to put my other furniture in storage if you have stuff already. Whilst I would prefer a place on my own this is not a viable option for me at the moment. I would like 1-2 housemates ideally. I have lived with both male and female housemates, unfortunately towards the end they all became disrespectful and selfish so I have no choice but to leave. I'm a great housemate, I'm tidy, im funny, im friendly, introverted and extroverted. I'm educated but not in a snobby way, I like to read, I like my sports, I like watching movies and have an occasional reality TV binge (don't judge me on that). I can cook but not a Masterchef level or anything, just basic level. I like to get to the beach in summer and curl up in bed or on the couch with a blanket in winter. I like to get out to markets and catch-ups with friends, or go to some shows or watch some bands when they are around. I like to go for walks and I love to visit my family and friends and hope that any family or friends are welcome at my new home with my new housemates. I work full-time monday to friday as an office administrator for a GPS Fleet Tracking company in Thebarton. I'm not sure what else to write here, so if you have questions just ask. Also my moving date is actually a little later than what is suggested in my ad but that's only because it wouldn't let me post the ad without an earlier date. So if you want to know when I am available just ask.

[[Image:Oracle-GTA4-front.jpg|thumb|right|300px|An Oracle in GTA IV ([[:Image:Oracle-GTA4-rear.jpg|Rear quarter view]]).]] The ''[[Ubermacht]]'' '''Oracle XS''' (dubbed simply '''Oracle''' when entered) is a four-door sports-luxury sedan in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. == Description == === Design === The Oracle is a four-door sedan which inherits the general design and role previously filled by the [[Sentinel]] in the [[GTA III Era|prior to GTA IV]] (the GTA IV Sentinel is redesigned as a two-door sport luxury coupe). The Oracle resembles the [[wp:BMW 7 Series|BMW E65 7 Series]] (2002-2008), particularly the pre-facelift models (2002-2005). The only noticeable differences are inverted front indicators, a slightly different taillight design, and the lack of BMW's traditional (and trademarked) kidney-shaped grilles. The grille resembles that of a [[wp:Lexus_LS#Second_generation_.28XF20.29|second-generation Lexus LS]], one of the competitors to the BMW 7 Series in the full-size luxury segment. There is a slightly modified variant of the Oracle driven by members of the [[Irish American Killers]]. It is painted dark green with front and rear bumper kits and a sport mesh grill, and its badge markings are removed. This variant is often seen in [[Steinway]], [[Dukes]]. {| align="center" |
Image:Oracle-GTA4-front.jpg|GTA IV ([[:Image:Oracle-GTA4-rear.jpg|Rear quarter view]]).
Image:Oracle-GTA4-modified-front.jpg|The modified variant driven by the McReary Mob in GTA IV ([[:Image:Oracle-GTA4-modified-rear.jpg|Rear quarter view]]).
=== Performance ===
The Oracle is probably powered by a V12, like the most powerful 7 Series which use the BMW N73 engine. Thus it is able to achieve a decent high speed with satisfactory acceleration. Its handling is superb for a car of its size, and it is durable, owing to its luxury construction. The soft suspension means that the car is comfortable on all surfaces. Its top speed is 130 mph. It's definitely the best sports sedan to drive in GTA IV. Braking varies as anti-lock brakes are (oddly) not available yet.
[[Image:Oracle-GTA4-advertising.png|thumb|256px|Advertisement for the Oracle commonly seen on billboards in the city.]]
* The default radio station in the Oracle is [[The Journey]].
* An Oracle ad parodying BMW's ad style is seen on billboards around the city, including one at [[Star Junction]]. It shows a picture of the car with the caption, "Automatic Arrogance".
** This is likely a reference to German luxury manufacturers with a long lineage (namely BMW and Mercedes-Benz), whose dealers tended to be arrogant compared to less-established marques like Lexus.[http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,971153-1,00.html]
** Also, BMW engineers largely ignored the frequent complaints about the complexity of the new iDrive interface of the E65 7 Series.[http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0,28804,1658545_1658544_1658541,00.html]
** The "Automatic" is also a reference to the only transmission choice for a BMW 7 Series, in contrast to other BMW vehicles that have manual transmission available, as the E65 was the first iternation of the 7 Series not to offer a manual.
** Drawing from an earlier pre-release iteration, the advertisement's Oracle sports a simpler, thinner front bumper and lacks the bonnet-mounted Ubermacht emblem.
* The Oracle's name could be a reference to the [[wp:BMW Oracle Racing|BMW Oracle Racing]] team, as Übermacht, is based on BMW, produces the Oracle.
* The Oracle shares the same rim design as the [[Super Diamond]]. Coincidentally, BMW, which is parodied in game as the Oracle-producing "Ubermacht", is also the parent company of Rolls-Royce in real life. In fact, during the first stages of designing the Rolls-Royce Phantom, the shell of the E65 BMW 7 Series was used as a design guide, so in some sense the Rolls-Royce Phantom is a larger and more luxurious platform mate to the BMW 7 Series.
* In perfect condition this car can be sold at [[S&M Auto Sales]] for $2,500.
== Prominent appearances and locations ==
* Can always be found in the parking lot across from the [[Middle Park East Safehouse]] on [[Albany Ave]].
* Usually one parked at Franklin Street in Steinway.
* The Oracle is mostly found in [[Algonquin]], near [[City Hall, Algonquin|City Hall]] and [[The Exchange]].
* [[Ray Boccino]] drives a black Oracle, which can be taken after [[Pest Control]].
* [[Patrick McReary]] drives a modified McReary Mob Oracle, seen in [[Harboring a Grudge]].
* [[Lyle Rivas]] owns one just sometime before the mission [[Search and Delete]], and was taken in [[Easy as Can Be]].
* A rare Oracle XS can be obtained in the mission [[Taking in the Trash]]. This Oracle can be changed to a desired color at a Pay N' Spray, without the car immediately going to its default color (dark green).
* In [[Going Deep]], a [[Ray Bulgarin]] mission, most of the cars in the parking complex are Oracles, including a hard-to-find red one that Bulgarin and [[Timur]] hide behind. If you are relatively careful not to blow it up during the shootout, it's easy stolen in the process of completing the mission.
* Bulgarin later has a black Oracle waiting outside his house, in both of his following missions.
==Notable owners==
* Ray Boccino
* Patrick McReary
* Lyle Rivas (at one time before "[[Search and Delete]]").
* Ray Bulgarin

text: Hi all: Since I am here at Ohare Airport waiting on my flight, I was able to listen to the entire Dumar's press conference and jotted down his comments; Listed b elow are his comments: 1. During the season the team looked like it was not on the same page and at times looked scattered. 2. The coaching decision will not be a long drawn out process, he will act as soon as possible on announcing the new coach. 3. I am looking for one good player. 4. I will make a significant change to the team (you damn right I will was his exact reply when the reporter asked Joe this question) 5. Will not rip or gut the entire team. 6. Flip did not get it done this year and I refuse to listen to any excuses this year. 7. To say "we are not good enough" is a farce 8. There are no "sacred cows" as far as the team goes when it comes to who to trade. Every player loss their "sacred cow" status 9. The last 10 minutes of the game was a micorcosm of the last 3 years. 10. I had a sense of calm as I walked out the Palace after game 6 of the Boston series. I said to myself "I have seen enough". 11. I have had no player calls yet, only coach calls 12. I am confident that I will get that special player, a certain type of player with: a) Major talent b) motivated c) attitudinal d) One will get the job done 13. If I can swing a deal, I will (said emphatically) 14. Not zeroed in on any one particular player 15. I would like to change the core player(s) and am very open to doing this 16. I very high on Stuckey and Amir 17. I reminded the guys to get it done all during the season 18. The team became way too content and did not show a sense of urgency 19. As I watched the the four playoff teams, I watched the San An/Lakers, Boston/Cleve series, those guys were playing hard, these teams were going at it, and us, we were not playing hard, that's when I said "I have seen enough". I couldn't hear the question that someone asked about Rasheed, however, I must say that I can deduce from this interview that Sheed is long gone.

When LinkedIn Endorsements were rolled out last fall, they were greeted with a collective "Huh?" followed by widespread disdain. The "Huh?" was a response to the surprise nature of the feature -- no one saw it coming, and LinkedIn didn't do a lot to explain it. The disdain rose up from the tit-for-tat nature the feature took on: You endorse me and I'll endorse you. Some people resented that people they barely knew were endorsing them for skills the endorser had never experienced first-hand.
No matter how you feel about Endorsements, they appear on your profile, and you want to make sure that any Endorsements you have are in the skill areas most important to your current -- and especially future -- job. Providing genuine Endorsements to others is a good way to get endorsed authentically.

Just wondering if it is alright to put a ESB helmet with the rest of the suit that is ROTJ???? Thanks, The Dented One
Just wondering if it is alright to put a ESB helmet with the rest of the suit that is ROTJ???? Thanks, The Dented One
Yep, It's known as the RotJ SPECIAL EDITION Fett.
That's how I built my suit. I love the look!
This is also the version I am working on. You get the detailed helmet along with the added colors of the suit.
I do this because the paint job on my helmet is amazing, and I really don't want to get rid of it. There are also a few other Fetts on here who troop like this (I would prefer not to name them.) So, IMHO ... and :jet pack are OK together!
That's how I roll.
Glad to hear this. I was afraid to even ask this question as I figured the well-informed purists would pronounce me an idiot Noobie and restrict my access to TDH! I bought the ESB helmet for the sheer beauty of the detail from a California props industry guy, but wanted the red gauntlets and multi-colored jet pack of the ROTJ version.
So what's the ruling if you decide you like Galactic Bounty Hunter's fantastic ESB gloves to go with your ROTJ SE outfit?
GBH makes rotj gloves as well
The way I look at it...Its your outfit...Its what you like. I know there are some people that might point out differences to you, but I don't think anybody here will openly chastise you for it. Its not the RPF after all.
If you are looking for 501st acceptance it may not fly, but to each their own.
BTW to anybody...Are there really any major differences between ESB and ROTJ gloves? Is it just color?
We will call you a noobie for resurrecting a year old thread though..lol
How do I keep getting sucked into these?
Night of the Living Thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the end, do what you want. Its your costume, your effort, money, time, etc... You should look the way you're happy looking.
For me, I went with the RoTJ Special Edition version simply because I loved the look of it. It was the look in the museum exhibit, it was the look used in all the promotional materials that were around when I started the suit and it combined the best helmet with the best suit. A win, win.
Okay, what about...
ESB bucket (just 'cuz I picked up a free green visor.; finding a smoke tinted one on the cheap sucks...)
ROTJ armor (with working ESB chest display )
ROTJ blaster

Fayetteville, Ark. • Even record-setting performances by Tyler Wilson and Cobi Hamilton weren't enough for Arkansas to close out its disappointing season with a win.
The Razorbacks rallied in the second half on Friday, but their efforts fell short in a 20-13 loss to No. 8 LSU.
Wilson was 31-of-52 passing for the Razorbacks (4-8, 2-6 SEC), whose fall from preseason top 10 is now complete. The senior set the school record for career passing yards in the loss, while Hamilton set the school record for receptions in a career with 175.
The records were a bright spot in an otherwise dismal season for a Razorbacks team that struggled mightily following the April firing of former coach Bobby Petrino. Arkansas was 21-5 the last two seasons and entered the season with SEC and national championship expectations, but it was eliminated from the bowl picture following last week's loss at Mississippi State.
"We kind of stuck together [through] all the adversity," Hamilton said. "We're still brothers. We're still the same 2012 team that everybody had high expectations for. But we just stuck together."
No. 17 Nebraska 13, Iowa 7 • In Iowa City, Iowa, Rex Burkhead scored the go-ahead touchdown in his return from a knee injury and Nebraska secured a spot in the Big Ten title game.
Burkhead, making his first appearance since Oct. 20 against Northwestern, broke through with a 3-yard TD run to make it 13-7 late in the third quarter.
No. 23 Kent State 28, Ohio 6 • In Kent, Ohio, C.J. Malauulu returned an interception 33 yards for a touchdown 12 seconds after another Kent State TD and the Golden Flashes completed a perfect season in the Mid-American Conference with their 10th straight win.
No. 24 Northern Illinois 49, Eastern Michigan 7 • In Ypsilanti, Mich., Jordan Lynch ran for 107 yards and Akeem Daniels scored a career-best four touchdowns as the Huskies won their 11th straight game.
Daniels scored on runs of 25 and 20 yards in the first half and finished with a career-high 112 yards on 12 carries.

Ex-Cop Charged with Murder of Wife
A former police officer from Nassau County who was working as a part-time security guard at GlobalFoundries is now charged killing his wife.
On Sunday, Saratoga County Sheriff's Deputies went to 9 Meadow Rue Place to check on the welfare of Kathleen Wilkinson, who had not been heard from or seen in a few days, authorities said.
After a conversation at the front door, husband Charles Wilkinson allowed the Deputy to enter and he found the body of the 65-year old Kathleen on the floor of a first floor bedroom, according to a release by Saratoga County District Attorney James A. Murphy III.
Charles L. Wilkinson, 69, is charged with second-degree murder and was arraigned in Malta Town Court. He was sent to the Saratoga County Jail without bail.
The Sheriff says she was strangled to death during a physical domestic dispute and that her husband continued to live there.
Wilkinson retired as a patrol officer in 1984 from the Nassau County Police Department, authorities said.

|Poor baby, I hope that she finds a forever and loving home.
Chicago IL "Lola" 2 year old female
See Petfinder page for shelter contact info: Petfinder Adoptable Dog | German Shepherd Dog | Ringwood, IL | Lola
2 year old female
"This lovely girl was rescued by a very caring truck driver who saw her being neglected and abused, living in a lot where cars were locked up. He tried to get the owner to take proper care of her, even getting her medicine, but he refused. She was even observed being kicked by the lot owners children. Lolas ear infections were so severe that from shaking her head so much, and her ears hitting the cars, it split the tops of her ears. The lot owner also would breed her repeatedly to his 2 males and when she couldnt produce anymore, he cared even less about her. So much so that he finally relinquished her to that wonderful truck driver. He took her for treatment and got her spayed. He was taking her with him in his truck everywhere until he could find a rescue to take her in. She is 2 years old and has never known a true home and love. Lola has allergies and has to be on a specific brand food. She is very sweet and would just like a warm, loving home for the first time. She has no training but given some time will learn quickly. She lived with 2 male GSDs but right now seems more scared so acts defensively so would do best probably as an only dog (plus she deserves all the attention!) She is smart and very easily re-directed. Possibly with proper introductions and training she could learn to get along with another submissive dog. She would do best in a home without cats.
If you would like to know more about Lola, please contact Laura at the shelter: 815-728-1462 or 815-382-1160."

The planet earth is fine as it is; no rise in global temperatures for 15 years and not a scrap of scientific evidence (apart from dubious computer models) that catastrophic warming is just around the corner.
The idea that we need to artificially reduce global temperatures with a geoengineered dimmer switch on this bitter April day fills me with dread. Up go our heating bills with more winter deaths and more energy consumed just to keep warm and generating yet more CO2.
All the glib talk in the article about "removing CO2 from the atmosphere" is also worrying; don't they know that if that happens nothing will grow and we will therefore all die?

In any case, given the Met Office, NASA, the US EPA, the UN etc etc etc on one side, and some bloke on a message board on the other (sorry, but that's all most of us are here), I think I know which I'll go with.
(P.S. I am perfectly happy to admit that I do not understand the science, I am an electronics engineer, not an atmospheric physicist. However, if 99.99% of a scientific community believes that something looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, I am happy to trust them to identify it as a member of the Anatidae family.)
(P.P.S. As I tried to explain to a previous poster, if anyone here has genuine evidence that climate change does not exist please present it to the relevent authorities, they will welcome it with open arms because they cannot afford to combat climate change and would be delighted for it to go away.)

In any case, given the Met Office, NASA, the US EPA, the UN etc etc etc on one side, and some bloke on a message board on the other (sorry, but that's all most of us are here), I think I know which I'll go with.
As I recall there was some 'bloke on a blog' warning of a pending financial crisis when the world's leading governments, financial institutions and financial authorities were saying we have 'abolished boom and bust' and can grow grow grow. I think at the same time the world's 3 primary credit rating agencies were giving AAA ratings to USA subprime mortgages. I do not discount what NASA and co say but also I do not discount what 'some bloke on a blog' says either. Many 'cimate change' scientists have been revising their initial predictions, because in reality that is all they are/were. I think we should take care of our environment but we also need to have global agreements whereby we all work together. The latter seems to be difficult to achieve because individual personal interests seem to take over.
Where is your proof that '99.99%' of the scientific community supports what you are trying to suggest? Do you think someone who professes to be an 'engineer' should just start quoting figures which cannot be proven? I personally think there are some serious concerns with regards to the care of our environment but when those concerns lead us to over play our communications then who is to say that we are professional and intelligent enough to deal with those concerns in a proper way?
The climate changes in every second of every day and so how can someone prove it does not? You write as though 'climate change' is suddenly a negative thing, but if it did not change we would not have the conditions we have now. The real issue is whether or not the climate will change in such a way as to create conditions which are significantly less suitable for life. I think we have to consider the predictions which scientists make and proceed in a sensible way.
But in answer to the point you made, surely if '99.99%' of the scientific community and NASA and co are predicting as you say, i.e., if the evidence is as clear as you suggest and which you will also follow, then 'they' and 'you' cannot afford not to combat climate change if 'they' wish to maintain a planet which can sustain our current way of life? In order to 'combat climate' change what significant differences have you and your family made to your lives over and above those which were imposed upon you by your government and/or local authority and/or by price increases? I know quite a lot of people and based on my discussions with them I have not seen them making any real changes other than having to better segregate waste, insulate their homes better to reduce the cost of the gas and electric and take care about their travel due to increased fuel costs etc.
The issue with 'global warming' however is that we must take it seriously now because it is one of those things which if proved to be true would be too late to do anything about at the time.
30 April 2012 10:28 AM
I hoped it was reasonably obvious from the tone of my e-mail that 99.99% was an of-the-cuff statement, if that was not clear then that was my fault. But I still stick to my point that whilst sometimes a non-expert is right, and the experts are wrong, it really doesn't happen very often in scientific matters. The one person has got to have fantastically good evidence to overturn the concensus view. And this matter is so important that if they have such evidence they should not be publishing it here, they should be publishing it in a journal where someone relevant might actually notice it. Publishing it here is, let's face it, whinging down at the pub.
As I've said many times before, I'm not interested in discussing climate change on these forums, I know very little about the science which makes it pretty pointless. But I am concerned if, as an engineering profession, we are unable to comprehend how the scientific method works, or, even worse, we condemm it. If we cannot treat other professional communities with respect, what does that say about our own professionalism?
Postings asking if anyone here can explain a scientific issue, fine. Postings saying (more-or-less) "these so-called experts don't know what they're talking about" I would suggest are fair game for a robust response.

I agree with morry. Exactly what problem do we need to fix with the climate? Crop yields are at an all time high.Tropical cyclone energy at an all time low. The Sahel is greening. It's a shame there's been no further temperature rise this century because warming seems to be entirely beneficial to the vast majority of plants, animals and humans on the planet. Unfortunately, with the sun entering a quiet phase it looks like we'll be seeing further cooling this decade. But looking on the bright side, at least the cooling should put a stop to the $Billions being wasted on canute like schemes to halt natural climate change.
02 May 2012 04:03 PM
Have you actually read anything that isn't oil company propaganda in the last 10 years?
"Global Warming" stopped being discussed a long time ago, except by journalists who are too lazy to be bothered with the science and just want a nice controversial headline. It's CLIMATE CHANGE we are talking about here.
IF - and it's a high liklihood and high consequence if - climate change occurs the temperature could go wildy up or down, the one thing it is unlikely to do is stay in the goldilocks zone we need for human survival.
Any quality engineer knows that a single random sample of data tells you nothing, you need to look at trends.

If it stopped being discussed some time ago then please explain http://www.foe.co.uk/campaigns...mate_change_index.html and 'Your neighbourhood may not feel like a disaster movie today, but we're already seeing the impacts of global warming'.
But trends over how long, in your opinion?

I've always wondered what the exact definition was: NASA have a very nice description of "climate change" and "global warming" here. http://www.nasa.gov/topics/ear...y_any_other_name.html
For a fleeting moment I thought maybe this was one person arguing with himself under two different aliases! (The bizarre and rather unproductive conversation in one of the other threads last night reminded me of Monty Python's "is this a five minute argument" sketch.)
Anyway, I'm glad I found the NASA site, they've got a really good (if rather depressing) sub-site on the issue at http://climate.nasa.gov/

Andy, if we are to take the evidence seriously then what are your suggested potential engineering solutions to the potential climate change issues we face? Or are more radical population solutions required?
04 May 2012 01:47 PM
The solutions are to stop "forcing" the climate and to adapt to any climate change which cannot be avoided.
To stop forcing the climate the engineering solutions are energy efficiency and low/no carbon energy. These would help to make our population less unsustainable.
Population solutions are only relevant to the extent that they could avoid or defer the normal and unpalatable methods of collapse of unsustainable populations (war, pestilence and famine)
09 May 2012 11:24 PM
The world has not warmed significantly in the last 10 to 15 years. Some people want to argue about whether it is warmed tiny bit or not. But the fact remains that prediction was that it would warm by a large amount and it hasn't - even though carbon dioxide concentrations have risen steadily. This fact proves that man-made carbon dioxide does not cause dangerous global warming.
People claim that the hiatus in warming is due to "natural causes". But what are they? Why didn't the climate models that are supposed to be so accurate, predict this happening? Why can't the climate models predict an El Niño that is the largest atmospheric disturbance in the world?
This simple explanation is that the climate changes naturally. And if you look at what the sunspots and the sunspot cycle tells us, the chances are that the world is entering a period of cooling. And history tells us that warming is good and cooling is very bad indeed.
So the futile attempts to change the climate and stop warming, will squander huge amounts of money and resources that will be needed in a cooling world. Absolute madness.
10 May 2012 12:41 AM
If the world has not warmed significantly, why have so many glaciers retreated by so much, why has the "North West Passage" opened up for the first time in a very long time, and why have so many ice sheets retreated by so much?
Ian Gordon, FSS MIET CITP MBCS CMat MIMA MIAP
10 May 2012 11:31 AM
a) Glaciers: because the world has warmed as it comes out of the little ice age. Lots of uncertainty as it is very hard to measure and few glaciers are monitored accurately.
b) NW passage was first navigated in 1905 and there was a two way transit in the 1940s'
c) We have reliable records of ice sheets for about 35 years. Arctic is average at the moment after a small decline in 2007. Antarctic is slowly increasing. Neither are behaving oddly.
Even if true, tall they might indicate is some warming. NOTHING about whether it is natural or man-made.
09 June 2012 01:46 PM
The reason, in my humble opinion, that the concept of Global Warming is ridiculed is in the way it is put over to the public. From what I have read global warming is a natural phenomena that was in part responsible for the last ice age.
The way I feel it should be represented, is not to try and put the concept that we, the human race, is solely responsible for warming but to address the issue as a natural occurrence but, and this is the main argument, we, the human race are helping the process.
We are not solely responsible. If man did not exist the earth would go through periods of warming, and no doubt cooling.
The concept is I think being misrepresented and hence it is ridiculed by the public.
10 June 2012 01:03 PM
Andy, if we are to take the evidence seriously then what are your suggested potential engineering solutions to the potential climate change issues we face? Or are more radical population solutions required?
Sorry for not replying, I wasn't deliberately ignoring this; I just don't go on these threads very often as it's really not my area of expertise.
Hence: I dunno, but I'm not sure that we can engineer our way out of the root cause, I see it as far more of a social problem. Engineers can produce low emission solutions (personally I'm in favour of improving efficiency so we consume less in the first place), but if nobody wants them because "there isn't a problem" there's not much we can do.
I would certainly agree that overpopulation is part of the issue, but last time I looked at carbon emissions by country it wasn't the most populous countries that had the highest emissions, it was the US by a long way (although maybe China has caught up by now?).
I do not look forward with huge optimism to the future faced by my children's children (if they should have any). And, to be honest, even if in the UK we could reverse this anti-science ("so-called experts") view that seems to be gaining ground - which is, of course, what my posts on these threads are actually about - I'm not honestly convinced how much impact this would really have on the world stage.
Apologies for the pretty depressing posting! The good news is that there are some extremely competent people working at very high levels to try to address these issues (which is why rants on these forums from either side are actually pretty irrelevant); unfortunately democratic governments have their hands tied as electorates simply will not let them spend enough to seriously address the issues, whilst undemocratic governments don't care! (P.S. I am most definitely a democrat, but I believe in an informed democracy.)
I am a great fan of the highly entertaining book "The Peter Principle" with its core message about corporate life: "In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence". The last chapter of the original book (published in 1969) more-or-less starts with the wonderful paragraph

All these principles give us cause to think and so in that respect they are a good thing and contribute something positive. As we know there are a whole range of reasons why people 'rise' to where they do, or otherwise. I prefer the principle that it is actually a group which rises to its level of incompetence.
"I would certainly agree that overpopulation is part of the issue, but last time I looked at carbon emissions by country it wasn't the most populous countries that had the highest emissions, it was the US by a long way (although maybe China has caught up by now?)."
The problem for China and India is not where they are now but where they would be if ALL their people have a reasonable standard of living. It has already been calculated that we humans cannot build energy generation quick enough to supply the energy which would be required......we are already decades behind. 50 years ago it did not matter about the 'poor' because they did not know what the 'rich' had but now with the advent of TV all is that is needed is one TV for 100 people to crowd around and then they see what the other lot have and want some of it for themselves, and why not! China will not contain 1 billion poor people for ever and neither will India and so they will require more energy, which will not be available in sufficient quantities. In the past we had world wars and the 'male' population was significantly cut and hence slower population growth. Now we cannot have a world war due to the advent of nuclear weapons. Interestingly those weapons may have prevented wars which overall will lead to a much bigger problem in the future....let's hope not.
I tend to think it is more likely we will mess around with genetics and introduce a change which takes a hold and does some serious damage....nature's had billions of years to make its mistakes and get to us and so had a long time to learn.
Growth is not sustainable forever and no one is dealing with that fact.....even today all the politicians are talking about growth as the solution to our economic woes. We build more roads and humans expand into them roads and so we build more and we expand more.....well the whole world cannot be covered in roads. The point is that whilst we can improve energy efficiencies and build more power generation we also need to tackle the 'human' issue and find a way to arrive in a position where we are happy with what we have and can maintain that without having to keep growing. The 'Climate' solution needs to be much much wider, in my opinion. I cannot see any politician solving it because today's lot are pretty much useless and none of them have the courage to tackle the real issues. Obama came into office offering to sprinkle magic fairy dust on the world's issues and he has not even managed to make any progress in the Middle East. No, I think we are going to need an 'Einstein', 'MLK' of a different kind and who can raise the issues and lead the world to a more sustainable solution. At this time we are building to tools to allow that person to be able to communicate to the wider audience when they are ready.
I am positive about the future but more because I am confident that someone will step up to the challenge, and in the meantime we need to keep working in the things such as efficiencies etc.
31 July 2012 02:49 PM
Hi users,
I have this one question in mind, if the engineers really have the solution in dealing with our ecosystem?
02 August 2012 09:16 AM
In reality noone really knows whether climate change is a real threat or not and it will not be until some time into the future when any implications are fully known - I reality this will probably not be within our lifetime. Regardless of the arguments surrounding climate change there are too real questions:
Technology to reduce carbon emissions is available - no single technology will be responsible for the reduction in carbon emissions but rather it will be the appropriate selection of technology to suit the application.
In reality over the coming years this is likely to be driven by security of supply a change in individuals attitutes and behaviours to the environment and commercial constraints.

Am I not supposed to secure my financial state before I arrive? Does anyone know if it's any easier to find an English teaching job in Hong Kong?

When I just write "kismet" in the command line i get an error that I have no packsources enabled.
I'm new in to all of this. Sorry.

Growing up just outside Boston, Mass., Gary was looking for a school that was close (but not too close) and just big enough to not get lost (but not to know everyone on campus). "I wanted to make a name for myself, and I wanted my professors and my classmates to be able to put my name with my face. I didn't want to be a number."
Gary took an internship right on campus in University Communications, where he shot and edited video, worked on marketing plans and spearheaded a campaign for student-submitted video footage. In other words, he worked! "I'm so happy I took the internship on campus. I learned how different departments work as one and how one decision affects the organization as a whole."
Gary was also a member of a team that presented at the regional American Advertising Federation's Student Advertising Competition. Sponsored by State Farm Insurance, the team designed a marketing and advertising campaign for the company and placed fourth in the regional competition.

Got about 35 skills I use regularly and 5 not so much that are bound.
I personally didn't feel any more involved in tera's combat than I do in WoW as it's pretty fast paced.
They'Re actually planning to reduce the number of skills in the game during the next expack because right now it's getting a bit too bloated on the action bars. Seriously though, gameplay's fine, one of the best tab targetting if not the best, and it actually feels good, better than most action MMOs I seen (exclusing MH, that one was fluid and awesome to play)
Overall wow feels quite a bit like league to me, except with more buttons o-o'
// on a sidenote, I love the looks of the T17 Pally and Warrior armor, I'm getting excited for shaman, druid and monk sets do want.

Honestly. i have played Eso Tera Guildwars 2 and Aion and FF. And i just couldnt get into them.
I enjoy the combat system in wow. i dont think it needs changing and i dont think its needs saving.
But thats my Opinion. OH WAIT since its my opinion what ever i say you have to agree with....
Just kitten. Honestly. play what you like because at the end of the day. YOU are the one playing.
Its not a waste of time if YOU are having fun.
Also side note. The DK T17 is coming out next. and im very excited. haha
In WoW you have 20-30 skills you need to know how to use perfectly if you want to be good in PvP and even high-end PvE content requires quite a bit of skill and knowledge
In Tera my mystic could beat people 10 levels higher than him by just spamming his poison curse and running around.
I prefer ESO.. less staring at Ui, and more admirin' combat
The fun part with this is all the people who gets angry like a 5 year old when you say you don´t like the game they do.
but anyway I still stand firm that I don´t like the combat in WoW yes it is more polished but then again ofc it is the game is about 13-14 years old they had time to polish it TESO is about 1month and I bet even when wow was 1 month old the combat system has bad and not polished. That´s my problem with WoW´s combat system it´s OLD polished but outdated old and boring. TESO may have a combat system that is not polished but it´s more active more fun. I like it becuse it´s more interactive and it will become more polished over the time.
So little fan boys before you get angry and start talking with your ass like always. Use your brain and think, that WoW has had 13-14 years and will be polished thanks years of time. But in the end people not like the same things as you do. That´s why I find TESO combat system better because it more interactive not because it has years to be polished. That why I say WoW need to make there combat more fun more fresh if they did so even I would play WoW that´s what I think not what you think becuse im not you and will never think as you wish im makes me happy that I can think for my self.
No it was not polished form the get go not in a milion years it had it problems and bugs as many mmos does when released but great from the get go no.
Yes TESO combat system is not the best it´s bad yes but it´s also fun because it´s more interactive geesh do you guys even read anything or just read one line and think I mean just that.
And no poeticas I don´t use fan boy as an insult I use form a term of a Persson who defend there game till the end even if they would change it from good to rely rely bad.
But yes TESO has many flaws many bugs but it´s not the first game to have it on release SWTOR,TERA,Neverwinter had it also on release maybe less than TESO but over time all does games fixed there problems and still does.
Yes using TESO for example may been bad but I also used Tera, Vindictus as an example for the combat system I like I was talking about I like the more action combat system I never said anything how polished or not it was but that it was Action based and that´s what I mean with fan boys your to blind your love for your game is so high when trying to talk to you it´s like trying to talk to a wall you don´t listen and you keep repeating your self about your game why it´s so great and what not so I see fanboy not as an insult but as a term for what you are a person who won´t listen and takes anything said about there game that´s is not what you think like an insult because of your obsession of the game and any one not liking your game is wrong. Like TB would say there is no point to have a conversation with a Fanboy because they won´t listen anyway.
But ye do tell me what did wow had with combat?
the 1 game inpackting bug i can think off was the "fall-through-floor-when-warrior-charging-and-pathing-over-an-entrance(ie. cave/door)" that one got fixed asap i think
but just to address the topic of tera/vindictus(not calling out teso here since its brand new): jeah and how many players do they have ? wasnt one of the vindictus versions closed down ? i dont remember ..

I've been playing WoW since end of vanilla, right into The Burning Crusade. Warlords of Draenor is basically called TBC 2.0. That is what is getting most people back into the game because of the nostalgia factor. To this day, I believe TBC is the best expansion ever made, and going back to revisit TBC "before" it was Outland as Draenor, makes me nerdgasm to the max. The newer models was long overdue because the game was looking stale. But I'm actually looking forward to the upgraded models and graphics of the game, so it won't just leave it as another expansion with the same crappy graphics. With the addition of giving people a level 90 when they get the expansion, helps a lot of people, both returning from years of hiatus, and brand new players. Blizzard already knows that being given a level 90 so suddenly can be incredibly overwhelming due to new players never playing the class or experiencing end game. So what they're doing for the expansion is giving abilities to players as they level through Draenor so that they can get a feel for it by the time they hit the level cap.
WoW will never die. It is still the most popular and most active MMO in the world. The only way that WoW will close its doors is from Blizzard itself or making another MMO
**** it i am going back to wow xD
After I read that they added a "Build-a-base" and send adventurer's out on.. well, adventurers, I was sold man. I'm hyped... for WoW.. in 2014.

text: Does anyone happen to have video of the play from the 2011 season where Jason Witten toasted DeAngelo Hall down the sideline for, like, a 60 yard TD? One of the most amazing plays in Witten's career, given how much speed it showed the old man has. Do any of the video entrapreneurs on this site have that video cataloged? I've been looking for it ever since it first happened... Thanks!

Boise, Idaho • Even an ankle injury couldn't stop world No. 1 Novak Djokovic from dominating Sam Querrey 7-5, 6-7 (4), 6-1, 6-0 to give Serbia an insurmountable 3-1 lead in this Davis Cup quarterfinal at the Taco Bell Arena on Sunday.
At 1-1, 30-40 and a second breakpoint opportunity on Querrey's serve, the world No. 1 twisted his right ankle off a forehand and fell to the ground.
Wincing in pain, Djokovic had to be helped courtside. But after having the ankle taped and taking anti-inflammatories, he continued to play. He broke serve on his third breakpoint in that third game.
"I sincerely hope that I didn't make it worse, and I'm going to have a few days off," Djokovic told the crowd after the match. "I was able to play some good shots at the right time.
"If I wasn't playing for Serbia, if I didn't have my teammates' support, I don't know if I would've played. The first half hour it was very painful."
Serbia advanced to a semifinal in September against Canada, which took a 3-1 lead against Italy when Milos Raonic defeated Andreas Seppi 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 in their quarterfinal in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Sunday.
"I am very emotional about the win today," Djokovic said. "It meant a lot to me personally. It meant a lot to the whole team.
"It meant a lot to the nation. We're very happy to be in the semifinal again."
Both teams agreed to abandon playing the fifth match of the weekend.
The other semifinal will pit defending champion Czech Republic against Argentina in the Czech Republic.
U.S. Davis Cup captain Jim Courier was not surprised that Djokovic persevered through the match.
"Novak is such a complete tennis player," Courier said. "We've seen him grow over the years not only game-wise but mentally.
"Today was an example of him drawing on that experience and energy when he had the ankle issue."
Querrey recouped the service break when Djokovic double-faulted at ad-out in the sixth game. It was the only one of seven breakpoint opportunities that Querrey was able to take advantage of in the 2-hour, 35-minute match.
Querrey was not in peak condition either. A sore pectoral muscle took away his biggest strength: serving big.
"It was more of a pec issue," Querrey said. "It hurt on my serve. I wasn't able to get my usual pop, and that's tough when you're playing against the best returner in the world."

text: This is my least favorite part about the Pistons over the last decade. When we were so good that the starters were bored, we didn't develop the young players because they didn't earn their minutes. Now, we are a lottery team and we don't develop the youngsters because we are desperate for wins and the coach clings to vets. A higher power needs to ensure that the coaches optimize the team for the long-term and not just for the very next win. And I don't mean God... I mean the guy who spends all the games texting on his blackberry.
