  1. Lucky bugger, went to Ontario and didnt see any. Mind it was summer. first time was summer, 4th time was fall just before thanksgiving iirc
  2. Seen them 3 or 4 times 1st time- when I was 12 camping at a lake in Central Ontario , only a lightening of the northern horizon really(mostly green and white) 2nd time when I was 27 in Fernie BC, with Mt Hosmer backlit by the Northern Lights full on dancing waves of green and white facing north 3rd time- (28) Rossland BC, most impressive completly filled the sky reds blues and greens ,waves and tendrils lasted for 2 hrs 4th time - (33)Thunder Bay Ontario, during university , heard yelling in the back yard went out to find the african exchange student losing his mind, hahahaha kept yelling " are you fucking kidding me?" hehehe they can be very awe inspiring, and very conducive to pot smoking and fungi ingesting
  3. fergie was complaining about not enough time added on......hehehehe
  4. the one announcer sounds completely frustrated....only finishing half his sentences
  5. Crowd sounds awesome though......really getting into it now, can't tell what their singing or who is singing but it sounds good
  6. more to do with their manager than the quality of the players tbf
  7. Your sources get better and better. FFS you are KNOB....why not look into who wrote the article instead of where it was written.......author Juan Cole Cole was awarded Fulbright-Hays fellowships to India (1982) and to Egypt (1985-1986). From 1999 until 2004, Juan Cole was the editor of The International Journal of Middle East Studies. He has served in professional offices for the American Institute of Iranian Studies.[6] He was elected president of the Middle East Studies Association of North America in November 2004.[7] In 2006, he received the James Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism administered by Hunter College.[8] 1975 B.A. History and Literature of Religions, Northwestern University 1978 M.A. Arabic Studies/History, American University in Cairo 1984 Ph.D. Islamic Studies, University of California Los Angeles 1984-1990 Assistant Professor of History, University of Michigan 1990-1995 Associate Professor of History, University of Michigan 1992-1995 Director, Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies, University of Michigan 1995- Professor of History, University of Michigan (from Wiki......hope thats acceptable) hmmmm sounds like a fairly itk guy, what exactly are your qualifications again Fop? PhD in smiley face usage?.........M.Sc. in third person self reference? History, literature and Islamic studies? Aye perfectly qualified for talking about nuclear programs and nuclear proliferation. But if number of general "qualifications = right" then Fop could post "bombshells" that would (going by the 2 x 60kg dumbbell thread) make Toontastic meltdown. further proof you never even read the article by Mr. Cole......as it had nothing to do with nuclear proliferation, it was an article about the misconception in the western media about Iran's foreign policy it's ok there weren't even any smiley faces in it so I understand why you didn't read it.

    Ronaldo

    LEGEND!!!! Nice to see someone shaking off a bit of contact instead of going to ground ( i'm sure he did a bit of that as well mind you) everytime someone touches him, not like the other 'Paper' Ronaldo
  13. There's just no need though, vast amounts of the offshore sea around the UK is between 5 and 25m deep, there's no great technical problem or cost building in that depth. Yes they will be more expensive than onshore ones, but the cost can easily be recouped by the sheer scale of the possible offshore developments (although 1000's won't help if there is no wind ). Plus of course the reason so many onshore wind turbines are being built is not because they are great or we need them, but rather that the government grants are so massive for building them at the moment a company can make more profit building a turbine than it can from running it for 10+ year. Madness. hmmmm....really? what is the net profit for building a wind turbine with government money?
  14. holycrap............espn gamecast of the match says 12 to 4 shots on net, in favour of Blackpool!!!!! time to tighten up
  15. should be miles better than the first one, new one has an economic slant to it. Can gain money to spend in shops buying new weapons instead of having to wait to regain the weapons taken from you. also more emphasis on the character interaction with the crowds, groups of people will act more as one enitity rather than a cluster if individuals. combat is different as well, can now disarm foes and kill them with their own weapons, different types of foes as well seekers and armored soldiers. as well AI is increased now hiding in a hay stack isn't a guarantee but to make up for it you can perform leathal attacks from almost anywhere ( Ezio has hidden blades on both arms as well for double-takedowns) I agree about the repetitveness of the first but it sounds like the Ubisoft developers have listened to all the constructive criticism to improve the franchise.......needless to say I've my copy on pre-order
  16. have you seen the bio-mimicry wind turbine blades? The design reflects a hump-back whale's fins, with bumps and protrusions along the leading edge, seems counter-intuitive but the bumps create air currents as the blade/fin moves throught the air that actually decreases the amount of drag that the blade/fin feels. Result, more efficient wind-turbines= more power. http://www.whalepower.com/drupal/
  17. never used that one but I use AutoCAD lite on my company computer and since I loaded the latest version it chugs along......I'd say if you can upgrade, might be less frustrating
  18. this and check this out. http://www.ted.com/talks/eric_giler_demos_...lectricity.html
  19. i respectfully disagree.....the new skis (shaped or parabolic) have made skiing more accessible, as well it is far easier to learn how to fall skiing ( everything will come off) than it is to learn how to fall snowboarding (the board is completely attached to your feet, good way to dislocate a shoulder). people usually feel safer learning how to snowboard b/c you can slide slip (board across the hill) with your head pointing where you are going, as opposed to skiing where skis across the hill you are looking into the woods. The new skis make skiing more akin to roller blading , same weighting principles to turn.....anyway have fun on the mountain and remember to bring lots of advil no matter what you decide to do. PS Pray for snow!!!!!!
  20. There are problems with Canadian Healthcare for sure, lack of MD's in rural areas, long emergency waits and redundant bureaucratic red-tape being the big ones. Lack of MD's......... not too bad if you live in a major center (lower mainland BC, Calgary, MONTREAL haha, Toronto etc.) but if you happen not to live close to a major center you could be looking at as much as a day's drive or in some cases a plane ride to get to the treatment or MD that can help you. Inconvenient yes, but when you arrive you get treatment , end of story. Long emergency waits............My Mom was a Triage/Emergency Room nurse for 35 years, biggest issue with wait times is people that don't need to be there clogging up the system. If your kid has a rash on his/her ass........that is not a reason to be in the emerge, go see your doctor, if you don't have a doctor go to a clinic. If your kid (and this really happened) HAS BEEN SPRAYED BY A SKUNK!!!........that is not a reason to be in the emerge, go to the grocery store and get some tomatoe juice and GO HOME. The people you hear about complaining of "waiting for 4 hours to see a doctor for 5 min", should probably never have gone to the emerge in the first place, people that are really sick/hurt, don't wait 3 hours b/c it's an EMERGENCY. redundant bureaucratic red-tape.........speaks for itself, it's here, it stops people from getting treatment they need. I think it is a sign that the government should stop listening to the bean counters and runnning the country like a business.
