In order to make Mirai Nihon a reality, TBWA\HAKUHODO developed a platform to identify new technologies and innovations that had not yet been commercialized. Next, the firm partnered with Nissan, maker of the electric vehicle Leaf, to establish a design that would be both sustainable and comfortable for its occupants. Other organizations, including NEC and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency also participated in the project.
Solor Design Lab was the brains behind the prefabricated house, a combination of Japanese design, aesthetics and maximum space efficiency. A Nissan Leaf, when not providing transportation, powers the home via its battery. A home energy management system (HEMS) incorporates smart grid technology and allows the home's owner to gauge and control the consumption of energy throughout the house. Even Mirai Nihon's water system works completely free from local infrastructure; it uses a seawater purification system that TBWA\HAKUHODO says can filter out heavy metals and radioactive materials.
Mirai Nihon is not just a project to prepare for the next calamity to hit Japan; TBWA\HAKUHODO and its partners believe the house could work in cities and villages around the world, providing shelter while new sustainable technologies can scale and become more cost-effective.

This is is a great leap forward in off-grid technology. Any idea when it might be on the market?

Is this reality or just a dream? I can imagine the energy companies making a bid for the Sun to claw back some of their profits; but if this can be made a reality, it\'s a breath-taking reality. I must admit, I am fascinated by the whole concept, and the reality, I would certainly buy. The idea has been around for a long time, of course; but to see it in reality, in a economically viable form, makes it a tangible reality for many. Which is the key point. In the past it has only been possible for those with money, and more than a touch of eccentricity. Thank you for making it real!

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Most Catholics have never heard of Cardinal Martini, the former Archbishop of Milan, who died August 31. But, that didn't stop almost every major news organization in the Western world in carrying the story that he said the following before he died:
"The church is 200 years out of date. Why don't we rouse ourselves? Are we afraid?"and:
"Our culture has aged, our churches are big and empty and the church bureaucracy rises up; our rituals and our cassocks are pompous,"But is this true? Is the Catholic Church out of touch, out of date, and does it need to change? Well, let us consider the evidence.
The Church has suffered a great deal from clashing with modern cultural trends. Some have left the practice of the faith. Many criticize the Church as behind the times when it comes to sexuality, contraception, abortion, the role of women, bureaucracy, and esp. the scandals of individual Catholics (including leaders) who shame The Church.
It is true that when we look at the Church through the lens of modern western culture, that the Church is not trendy. Church leaders are not interested in changing doctrine to keep up with the times. It seems the Church is too old and stuck in her ways.
To be quite honest, this is a good thing.
What has our culture brought us:
- Abortion on-demand
- Hyper-sexualization
- Addiction
- Culture of death
- More wars (in the 20th Century) than any other time in history
- More slavery TODAY than any other time in history.
- Divorce and broken families.
- Pornography and selfishness.
- etc.
Why would we ever believe the modern way of thinking is really true?
Where is the beauty in this modern culture?
Here are just a few of the problems with believing the Church just needs to be updated to keep up with the culture:
- this belief makes the mistake of thinking our modern culture is good for us (see the list above). If it were so great, why do we have growing evil in our midst still?
- with this mindset we jettison all of the teachings of Christ, believing they are not applicable to us today.
- we make ourselves smarter than God. If we believe that the Church needs to change her ways, to line up with our thinking, then we are making ourselves the final judge of what is true and good = making ourselves a god.
The Church (you and I) needs to change the culture - not vice versa.
The world needs the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church has the answer for all the world's problems in the fullness of truth and the fullness of grace she offers to the world. The Church gives us a moral anchor, an answer to broken families, addiction, sin, war, violence, abuse, and all the other issues in our culture. More than ever the world needs the Catholic Church, if our society is to last. This answer is the personal relationship with Jesus that the Catholic Church offers to us all through the Sacramental grace, teachings of the Church, and in our own personal prayer we all need.
Jesus created one Church. We are that Church, the Catholic Church and if the world needs the Catholic Church, then the Church needs saints. We need to be holy if we are to change the world.
Time to do our part. Time to be holy. Time to change the world. This is what we all need to know - and do.
Without the Catholic Church - imagine where our culture would be today...

Suggestions For Making The Perfect Cup Of Coffee
Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world, rivaling tea as the morning beverage of choice for millions of people. Whether the preference is organic shade-grown specialty blends or the average ground beans in a can, there is no doubt that true coffee lovers will go to great lengths to get their "fix", especially with a Jura Ena 9. Read on for some interesting tips and insights about this passion-inducing liquid that we can't seem to live without.
For a quick and affordable brew of espresso, try using a Moka stovetop coffee pot or a Jura Ena 4, or even a Rancilio Silvia V3. Mokas generally produce one or two cups of coffee in the amount of time it takes to boil that amount of water. The coffee is brewed by pressurized steam rising through a funnel of coffee grinds and then rising again into the top chamber where it is ready to be poured into a cup.
If you purchase whole beans, be certain not to grind them too far in advance of brewing. Coffee might lose its flavor when you store the ground up coffee. Never grind all of your beans ahead of time because the coffee will become weaker in taste.
If you loved your coffee on ice, try cold-brewing your own coffee concentrated. There are many recipes available online; Most entail mixing a few cups of water into several ounces of ground coffee, allowing the mixture to sit overnight. When the grounds are strained out, you are left with a smooth, rich concentrate that can be diluted with milk or water and ice.
Buy smaller cans of coffee. If you buy coffee in a can, only buy what you will consume in a couple of weeks. It will cost more money than buying a large can and storing it for a while. What you save in money by buying a larger can, you end up sacrificing in taste.
Do you enjoy strong coffee? You should try using a French press instead of a drip machine. Pressing the coffee means more oil will end up in your beverage instead of being retained by the filter of your coffee machine. You will find that pressed coffee has more flavor and contains more caffeine.
Rinse off your coffee filter before placing it inside of the coffee maker. The coffee filters may have fibers or plastic on them when you take them out of the plastic packaging. If you leave these items on the filter, they will end up in your coffee when it brews.
Did you know that drinking a cup of coffee will improve your exercise? Studies have shown that the caffeine in coffee will give you a great boost when consumed prior to your exercise routine. This little lift may be just what you need to get through your exercise and preform the way you want.
If you have a hard time finding fresh, roasted beans in your area, then consider roasting fresh beans yourself. The easiest and most fool-proof method is to place green coffee beans on a baking tray and roast them in the oven. Preheat the oven at the highest temperature and roast the beans until you hear them start to crack.
Iced coffee doesn't taste so great when the ice cubes begin to melt, watering down the flavor. An excellent tip is to make ice cubes out of coffee or milk, and keeping them in the freezer in zippered bags. They will be handy anytime you want a cold drink on a hot day!
It is not necessary to keep coffee in your freezer. Actually, coffee can often take on smells and flavors from other foods. It is best to store your coffee at room temperature in an opaque container that is airtight. Use a sealed and air-tight freezer bag if you still plan on refrigerating or freezing it.
There is a lot of different choices in coffee makers. Most people have the standard drip brew machine that makes about 12 cups at a time. Some of the latest models of coffee makers use individual pods, and make only one cup. These machines work very fast, and are great for people in a hurry.
As you see, coffee is indeed an important element in the world's daily dietary consumption. Use some of the insights here to enrich the experience of your morning cup of "joe" and to expand your knowledge and enjoyment of a product that employs millions of workers across the globe.

Do you get angry?on April 16, 2013 @ 5:49 am (Updated: 9:05 am - 4/16/13 )
That sound we've heard again and again - the sound of two bombs exploding in the middle of a city. Tearing into people who had just come to see a race. You want to punish whoever did it with the kind of punishment that none of us would be sufficiently ruthless to carry out.
But you can't let yourself think like that, because it would be unworthy of the many courageous people who ran to help, who took charge; the medics who came that day expecting sprained ankles but knew exactly what to do when it suddenly became just like the war they'd served in, "For me, it was just like going back to Iraq in 2006, 2007," said one medic.
So many ready to help, and provide comfort. They didn't get angry; they got to work.
You can't get angry, because you don't want to have anything in common with the killer - who had to have a deeply intense anger to spend all those hours planning and assembling something he knew would blow people apart, and then, apparently, walked among the people he hoped to kill.
"We know, and this is apparently what surveillance video is (checking out,) these devices were brought in after, considerably after the start of the race," explained a news reporter.
You can't get angry. If for no other reason than because the anger level in the world is high enough as it is. On Monday just in Iraq - 17 bombs went off in seven cities. And the people there ask them same questions we ask here:
"What have these people done to deserve this? Don't their lives mean anything? A man who is waking up in the morning to go to work - what has he done?"

For some reason, this aluminum model sumo does not have the weight listed. Is it that heavy? The Ti model is 10 oz, or 280g
Great pot with a sucky lid
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
We up-sized to a sumo after finding that our prepacked meals were a tight or impossible fit in the original jetboil. The sumo is super efficient and holds plenty of food for two hungry hikers. We haven't experienced any noticeable performance differences between this and the original. Except for the lid. It just sucks. The lip on the lid is too shallow so it doesn't give it quite as much bite as the original. We find that it never stays closed and have had to start transporting it in a small stuff sack so that the kit stays together. Aside from this, we've been quite happy.

used a full, small gas canister at 13,500' on Kings Peak and it ran non stop for 2.5 hours. Used this sick system for Miso, tea and for heat, heating water in bottles to throw in our sleeping bags. Self contained system is compact and easy to set up and get boiling! This should be a standard in anyone's pack that wants hot fluids fast!

Yes Sir! I've pick up Butane in europe before, their pretty much avalible world wide i'm sure... but even if they can't find them in their local area they can order them off the internet. Amazon, Google, or just right from here...
Long Boil?
I love the size of the cup. However, it took 8 minutes to boil 1.25 L with a PCS stove. This was inside with no wind and 68 degree ambient temperature with 55 degree water. Not very impressed so far (But that may just be the PCS stove is not the best for this...)

I ever I have any doubts about the merits of being single I watch this:
I'm 29 and have been single nearly all of my adult life. I like living on my own at the moment, I get a bit lonely sometimes and think would a relationship be the answer but I don't want to get all needy and start looking because that never works. I like having close friends but people are soo transient these days and were always moving away from each other so I don't have a lot of history to talk about with most people I know or I sometimes think I shouldn't get too close because they might move away and move on with me getting hurt in the process. I don't want to start renting my spare room out as I need my space, if I was to go out with someone I would like it to be someone who also likes their own space and doesn't get hurt if I need some time apart. I also wouldn't begrudge them going out with their own friends without me and expect the same in return. I am also someone who has had the odd friend crush in the past.
Reading this, it looks like theres some other guys my age who are in the same situation.
Always fight or what or who you believe in
I'm fappy being single.
I do understand what you are saying, however.
I guess what I was trying to say in my early post is that there seem to be a lot of negative ideas about relationships. To say that they don't require commitment and hard work would be dishonest, but to say you have to surrender the things that make us who we are is just not true, either. In fact, the differences between us are part of the beauty of life and love.
I would be interested to know how many here who hold the view that relationships mean loss of freedom have actually been in a relationship of some duration compared to those who have been mostly single. The latter would be like being on the outside looking in, while the former could come from being burned, I guess.
Perhaps it boils down to this: if you are happily partnered, you wonder why anyone would want to be single and if you are single, you wonder why others don't see relationship as too confining to allow for personal happiness.
Everyone wants to be heard. No one wants to listen.
you know something that actually annoys me. hard up 1 mentioned it. i hate it when people that are in relationships use their situation to take swipes at us single people in hopes of making us catch feelings, us to be jealous of them, or to have us feel bad about ourselves for being single. it's like we get that you're in a relationship and are happy about it. that's good for you. we're happy for you. that doesn't mean that people envy you or want to be in relationship as well and it certainly doesn't make you better than any of us either. i don't see how it does.
you have some people that just love to show off the fact that they're in a relationship or married especially in front of single people. they'll be like "i can't hang around you guys like that anymore, i gotta chill with my girlfriend or boyfriend or whoever" and things of that nature. that's some douchebag type shit. we get that you're partnered, breh. just because a couple of guys are all crying about not finding everybody doesn't mean that all of us single people feel the same way. there's certainly nothing wrong with me because i'm not in a relationship or have to answer to somebody like you do, breh. many of us are not preoccupied about that shit. we actually enjoy our freedom to move around and not have to be committed to somebody. so blah to that.
one thing about the closet/you don't have to hurry/it will be bad tomorrow/so brother, don't you worry
There are also single people who like to take shots at those of us in relationships...trying to make us feel as if we're 'wasting our time', "trying to be like heteros", 'needy', etc. etc. the list goes on. It goes both ways.
And last I checked: I'm in a relationship. I have "freedom"(s). And I have time I get to spend with a great guy I enjoy sharing my life with. Best of both worlds.
Looking back--I can also see how fabulous it was being single as well. There are perks to both. There's no reason for animosity or tension from either side. Funny thing is a lot of people don't realize that until they've experienced both sides of the fence.
I've never assumed single people are automatically miserable. In fact, most people I know love to boast about their single status...as if they're "free" while I'm expected to be miserable in my boring, stale relationship.

There is a difference between sharing things about our lives and rubbing it in others' noses. The latter is contemptible.
It seems like these relationship threads often go the way of the cut vs uncut threads by ending badly. One is not necessarily better than the other. The are just different. Nothing wrong with that unless you condemn someone for disagreeing.
I'm finished now.
Everyone wants to be heard. No one wants to listen.
but then, i think that's the way society is though. being in a relationship is basically looked up to. when you're single especially for a long time, it's frowned on. for some reason, there's this weird idea that someone who isn't partnered up has something wrong with them and if they're a straight person, then all of a sudden they're secretly gay. *shrugs* hell, that's how a lot of gay rumors float around about celebrities. "oh that guy right there hasn't had a girlfriend in 15 years and if he has a girlfriend, he isn't outthere with her in hollywood. he's been single for a long time. he's always out on the red carpet by himself. he must be gay". maybe that dude likes to be single. maybe he doesn't give a fuck. hell, even this thread is inspired by the idea that being single is a bad thing or that there's something wrong with it. even if it wasn't a choice for me, i certainly ain't going to be crying or feeling sorry for myself because of it. hell no. i certainly don't live my life to be loved or to be in love. i don't put my time and effort into getting phone numbers or whatever because i don't care.
but speaking of all this though, i think people in general put too much care into things like relationship, love and sex to the point where it's ridiculous. it gets to the point where people are basically having the same conversation such as this one. i could have swore somebody made this thread about a month or two months ago asking the same question "are you happy being single?". after awhile, you begin to look at certain people's situations like "this person is upset that they're single", "this guy is having guy problems", "this guy has relationship problems". after awhile, i'm like shut up already, we get the point.

I loved being single....and those relationships probably taught me more about myself and other people than anything else in my life so I would begrudgingly experience them all over again because they led to to where I am today....they also helped me to really appreciate the times when I was single and I could have seen myself staying single my whole life ...very happily I might add.
....now I have a man (26 + years) who I don't just love unconditionally...I really like him too. For me..that is THE key. Everyone has different keys I suppose. I can say today I have more inner freedom than I have ever had BECAUSE of him...we have an amazing chemistry and I do believe we are soulmates. It IS alot of hard work though.
The thing is...there are many paths to bliss and some people maybe are meant to be single...and happy...and fulfilled. You can't fit a circle into a square and you shouldn't try. I personally have never even considered that being in a relationship is in any way superior to being single...I think this thread is the first time it has ever entered my thoughts. I have, however, considered a relationship a nightmare based on my experiences when I was single...I never had a desire for a relationship ironically...they just happened.
#58 I thought maybe it could seem like I was fighting your opinion. I didn't take your answer as confrontational either. I just wanted to make it clear
^Another kicking English grammar post
I'm fine with it, but I would be happier to have someone in my life who loved and cared about me.
In his autumn, before the winter, comes man's last mad surge of youth
I'm getting old (40), and I'm perfectly ok with being single...not 'happy' or 'sad' simply ok with it, just doesn't bother me.
That said it may well because I have no idea what being in a relationship would be like since...
I've never been a relationship or dated or been even close with anyone.
There are times I think I'd really like to have a boyfriend.
Other times I want to remain single (and I pretty much assume I will end up being so forever)
I often daydream about having a sorta-boyfriend..just someone to cuddle with & kiss but nothing more (no sex/etc)
Really don't know a part of me wants love, another is very much afraid of it)
Yes, for the time being, I have enough troubles to deal with at the moment without adding a boyfriend to the mix.
And I think people in relationships take it the wrong way when I express these views. Not being in a relationship (to me) means not having to answer to someone, not having to plan things with someone, etc. If I wanted to get up and move to San Francisco in a few weeks, I'd be freer to make such a decision on a whim as a single man than if I were in a long-term relationship. I think it's the concept of being tied down that irks me. I can be a very flighty person at times and a commitment such a relationship is kind of a thorn to that way of life.
If you love the person you're with, these kinds of things are moot. But I feel like when folks in long-term loving relationships hear me speak, they act as if I'm casting them in some sort of hard, cold prison. That simply isn't the case, especially for them, and I know that. But the things we mention here: sacrifice/compromise that come when two loving people join a relationship--aren't always as necessary for a single person.
You are single and free now. Could you tell me some of things you are doing right now that you couldn't do if you were in a relationship, rather than just the things from the future?
Everyone wants to be heard. No one wants to listen.
As of now, it's mainly spontaneous overnight trips here or there and various (random) bouts of time alone. And having complete control over how I like to spend holidays/occasions and such, which is a serious biggie for me.
I don't want to write off the future, however. I'm always thinking of picking up and going. I've pretty much alerted my good friends that if any one of them would like to move west in the forseeable future, I'm down for it. If anyone takes me up on it, I'm out.
NO! yet i'm a person how doesn't like people but i'm craving to squeeze someone between my arms and take care of him for almost the whole year (
Also could you rate how my english was in this post, please?

New On The Speech Recognition Scene: Droids With NLP Processors And More
There are new Motorola Droid devices in town: The three Verizon Android 4.2 smartphones unveiled at a press event yesterday include the Motorola Droid Mini, Ultra and Maxx. The line includes what the company touts as the longest-lasting 4G LTE smartphone in the Maxx, with the vendor claiming 48 hours on a single charge, and what it says is the thinnest 4G LTE smartphone around in the Ultra. The smartphones reportedly all come with a unique Kevlar fiber 3D unibody design and a few months' free Google Music All Access subscription, too. But what will catch the eyes of readers of this blog is the proprietary Motorola X8 Mobile Computing System that's behind the sleek-looking handsets.
In addition to the graphics and application processor cores found within the eight-core System are two new low-power cores, one to power contextual computing and one aimed at natural language processing. Read more

- Examine the evidence surrounding a millionaire's brutal death.
On October 20, 2001, millionaire investment banker Ted Ammon was bludgeoned to death in his East Hampton mansion. He had been in the midst of a bitter divorce from his wife of ten years, Generosa.
AMERICAN JUSTICE® reports that in the months before the murder, Generosa had become romantically involved with a 38-year-old electrician from Long Island named Daniel Pelosi. Investigators discovered Pelosi had a lengthy arrest record and was one of the few people who knew the workings of the complex alarm system at the mansion, which had been dismantled the night of the murder. And just three months after the murder, Generosa and Pelosi married. But suspicion does not equal evidence, and Generosa and Pelosi protected themselves with high-priced defense attorneys. Ultimately, however, PelosiÂs carelessness that led to his arrest and conviction.

'Go. Leave. You Can't Be Here': What Happened When I Tried to Investigate the Connection Between the NYPD and Brookfield Properties, Zuccotti's Owners
For the past several weeks, a Ford F550 truck has been parked near the corner of Liberty Street and Broadway, on the outskirts of Zuccotti Park. As activists across the street worked to build a new society, it sat like an unblinking sentinel. Even after the park was raided, the protesters scattered and the plaza cleared, the large rig remained. In this new, post-encampment era for the Occupy Wall Street protests, it sits there still.
The truck in question is white with no markings. Its windows are blacked out, preventing bystanders from peering in. But there's little question what the vehicle is there for. A 40-foot pole, with a single helix of heavy-gauge electrical cable coiled around it, topped by a video camera, rises from the back of the truck. All day long, that camera is pointed at Zuccotti Park.
That much is no secret. What is less apparent is who is running the truck – literally – and why.
The New York City Police Department license plate and the fact that TARU (Technical Assistance Response Unit) policemen -- the unit that monitors and videotapes protests – move in and out of the vehicle tell part of the story. But not all of it. Evidence suggests that Brookfield Properties, the commercial real estate firm that also owns Zuccotti Park, is providing the power for the spy wagon and other perks to police. When I tried to investigate, Brookfield's security personnel enlisted the NYPD to declare my reporting "illegal" and try to run me off the site.
Power Cords and Power Trips
This story begins weeks ago when I noticed a loose extension cord snaking from the side of the big white truck to an outlet at the base of a tree in front of One Liberty Plaza, the massive office tower that looms over Zuccotti Park and is owned, like the park, by Brookfield Properties. The extension cord is still there, but is now taped in place. It has become a more or less permanent fixture on Liberty Street.
Weeks back, when I first noticed the power cord, I walked to the main entrance of One Liberty Plaza in order to inquire about the electrical power situation. I was stopped cold by security. No one gets in without a building ID badge, I was told.
Now, I knew this wasn't true. Another badge gets you in the door, too. Without proper building credentials, NYPD officers walk in and out of the One Liberty Plaza all day long, assumedly to use the restroom facilities. I had seen it happen again and again, but I kept this observation to myself and explained that I was a reporter and had some questions. The guard said I could ask him, so I did. Were the outlets in front of the building open to use by the public? No. Did they belong to the building? Yes.
When I asked Melissa Coley, Brookfield's media contact and a vice president with the firm, if the real estate giant had any agreements to share resources with the NYPD or had issued instructions about aiding the police at One Liberty Plaza, she wouldn't say. "We politely decline to comment," Coley wrote in an email. The NYPD also refused to respond to repeated questions about its involvement with Brookfield Properties or One Liberty Plaza.
The evidence, however, suggests that Brookfield is offering the NYPD perks -- power for their surveillance efforts and aid and comfort for their officers -- that it does not extend to the general public, much less the protesters in Zuccotti Park who repeatedly ran into difficulties in regard to access to electrical power and bathroom facilities, which Brookfield Properties, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and the NYPD ultimately used as part of the justification for raiding the park and ending the occupation.

Kasai Green Energy Park's administration building is quite possibly the most solar-paneled out building ever with double-facade panels (these are able to absorb solar rays from both their backs and fronts) not only on its roof but also right on its facade. According to Sanyo reps, this vertical array is the only one in the world of this size. But the solar goodness doesn't end there. PV panels also adorn the sculptural Solalib "tree" that sits in front of the building as well as atop the rectangular power storage building and two additional buildings in the compound. There is also a solar parking lot which charges the electric bikes parked there.
The 1MW system, in conjunction with a 1.5MWh Lithium-ion Mega Battery System (with the world's largest level of capacity) helps power many of the park's activities and also serves as a real-world experiment for the researchers working there. This Smart Energy System technology, which also includes sensors and clear visualizations of energy usage targets and real-time data is all part of Panasonic and Sanyo's goal to reduce CO2 emissions at the Green Energy Park by 2,480 tons every year (the amount that would be absorbed by 177,000 cedar trees).
Check out our photo gallery for more amazing photos from our trip to the Kasai Green Energy Park. We've honestly never seen so many sun-powered goodies under one (solar powered roof) before in our lives!

BNA - For Australian and visiting cyclists from Road to MTB, to Track to Freestyle
Deliberately targeted by white tradie ute (nsw
open topic, for anything cycling related.
Re: Deliberately targeted by white tradie ute (nsw
Maybe cyclists have made complaints about that ute driver in the past, and maybe those complaints are recorded somewhere.
Re: Deliberately targeted by white tradie ute (nsw
Oxford, no need to take it to extremes.
So what this type of incident and report does, even if there is little actual result in this case is add another one of these to the list. Many people may not report these but the more reports there are and the more of a concern that it is, the more important it becomes on the agenda of the police and authorities. It then has a long term effect of e.g. General road user education and cycling infrastructure that enables safer co-use of the roads.
It may not be satisfying but reporting and following up, within reason, helps.
2015 BNA Cycling Kit Now Available for Pre-Order
Re: Deliberately targeted by white tradie ute (nsw
In most cases going to the police will not result directly in court action. Put simply the evidence that is supplied by the complainant is insufficient to hold up when presented in court. And likely does not stand out in the cop's eyes enough to drag him away from other investigations and general tasks he also has to fit into h is working life.
However, by doing as arkle suggests, regular offenders DO get to stand out. And, hopefully, that is the person on who cops will then allocate their time.
Insisting that your particular case is THE major law and order issue of the day works against the interests of the cycling community. But just by reporting concerns to the fuzz, insisting no more than that they receive your complaint, you do the whole riding community a favour. It gets added into their base of knowledge and serial offenders get noticed.
Unchain yourself-Ride a unicycle
Re: Deliberately targeted by white tradie ute (nsw
and that is why I suggest writing. it does two things, first they have to respond to you, the paper trail requires that. second they can do it when they have time to fully consider the matter without other pressures interfering. you are more likely to get a favorable outcome this way and by favorable, I simply mean a positive response to your enquiry rather than a broad dismissal. I haven't always liked the outcomes of some of my complaints when I was cycling, BUT the driver was made aware of the situation which is worth a lot in some cases.
I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong.
Re: Deliberately targeted by white tradie ute (nsw
this is a discussion forum. no problems with either point of view. my post was my opinion. i provided reasons for my opinion. lets just hope there is a positive outcome for all.
Re: Deliberately targeted by white tradie ute (nsw
Just another thing on the 000 all. I rang the local ambualance station to get them for my wife as she was in some distress with serve pain but was told they couldn't respond to it and told me to ring 000 and they would come out. So even their own system of calling in a case is screwed up as far as which number goes.
Yes my wife did need a trip to the hospital at the time and had treatment on the way in. This is why it can be confusing the to Joe Public as to which numbers to ring because you don't have a separate number for the police in this circumstance and I've been told to ring 000 in these types of situations when threatend
I don't suffer fools easily and so long as you have done your best,you should have no regrets.

Um. Speeding fines are a breach of road use regulations and written into legislation...,,
Re: Deliberately targeted by white tradie ute (nsw
Threatening someone with physical harm is against some sort of law as well.
Re: Deliberately targeted by white tradie ute
You seem to be missing the crucial qualification to Oxford's post:
Please explain what is so 'militant' about taking further action through police channels when such obvious law-breaking is not acted on by police officers who have a personal agenda that is hampering the fulfillment of their duty to the community. It has been my experience that police are often only too willing to brush off such aggressive driving acts even where there are a number of witnesses. There may be all sorts of reasons why this occurs, but the fact that it does occur is not good enough and people should be aware that the matter can be taken further with good effect.

Re: Deliberately targeted by white tradie ute (nsw
Failing to give way should be prosecuted with as much diligence as speeding is. SMIDSY should be disallowed as any sort of defence (excuse), as is the case with "my speedo is not working".
Riding bikes in traffic - what seems dangerous is usually safe; what seems safe is often more dangerous.
Re: Deliberately targeted by white tradie ute (nsw
I am not so sure that just a complaint, with no action requested, will lead to the required paper-trail that enables aggro or incompetent drivers to be traced in event of later incidents. I would have expected that an official warning would be the minimum that would lead to any record of an incident. To get this you would need to make a statement to police about the incident, probably with an independent witness, with a request to take action.
I did this a few years back when a Gippsland local blasted his horn at us from several hundred metres back on a straight road clear of traffic, then flew past at ~100kmh with < 4" to spare (a fellow rider behind gave me the distance he saw). I am confident this was a direct case of assault. Police were willing to follow this up, visited the driver, took our statements, and sent the file to the DPP. Nothing resulted AFAIK, but that's fine - this driver may well be on notice now.

Re: Deliberately targeted by white tradie ute (nsw
Name one area that the police have jurisdiction over that has more deaths or injuries or property damage than traffic? I doubt you can.
I put it to you that seeing as this is the area that has the most harm caused by illegal activity (including driving without due care and attention which covers SMIDSY) then this is the area where police should spend most of their time.
Re: Deliberately targeted by white tradie ute (nsw
that's a cop out - the police have their own prosecutors. i imagine the DPP took one look at that 'handball' and thought or said "prosecute it yourself you lazy sods".
Re: Deliberately targeted by white tradie ute (nsw
You could have selected a more targeted grouping. In which case on your implied criteria, would have to be on other areas of trafic deaths, the majority of which are NOT related to cyclists.
The cops are charged with a host of other matters. Drugs, organised crime, sexual and other assaults. The fact is that a cop does not get to choose - he has to also attend to other matters that are important to others in the community. You and I do nto get to decide.
However it is neither here not there as far as the points I made. The issues I raised were along the lines of the boy who cried wolf.

Re: Deliberately targeted by white tradie ute (nsw
I was purposefully including all traffic problems in my criteria, as they should all be treated equally, it shouldn't matter what vehicles are involved. But at the moment when you report things (not just to the police) cyclists don't seem to be treated equally.
I would like you to be correct on this point, however it doesn't seem to be the case. Cops do get to choose, this is evident by the number of complaints seen on this and other forums about the police not following up on there complaints.
Re: Deliberately targeted by white tradie ute (nsw
Don't blame the cops, blame the government. They keep cutting and cutting until there is nothing left. I think the police do the best they can with what they have.

Re: Deliberately targeted by white tradie ute (nsw
Is that so? You have implied earlier that they should treat whole classes of issues LESS equally but that all VEHICLE related instances should be treated equally.[/quote]
Sorry, careless choice of words on my part. They do not get to choose carte blanche not investigate, say, burglaries, out of control parties, family assaults,etc. Thatis policy and priority set from on high and varies from time to time acording to the demands of society/politicians/changing trends.
And this is my point. They will work on some matters and dismiss others, for the simple reason that there are only 168 hours in the week and considerably less in a working week. And if they experience too many less than worthy complaints from a group then the outcome is likely to be that they will spend less time looking at the merits of that group of compalint. We can affect how un-equally we are treated.
Unchain yourself-Ride a unicycle
Re: Deliberately targeted by white tradie ute (nsw
I did not imply that, you inferred it.
I'm not saying other issues should be ignored so more resourced can be spent on vehicle related issues. I'm saying that as a whole vehicle related issues have the greatest impact on our society and therefore the police should take this into account when allocating their resources.
Here is what I have found so far on the cost of traffic issues.
"In this paper, we obtain detailed data on road traffic crash (RTC) casualties, by severity, for each of the eight state and territory jurisdictions for Australia and use these to estimate and compare the economic impact of RTCs across these regions. We show that the annual cost of RTCs in Australia, in 2003, was approximately Dollars 17 b, which is approximately 2.3% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP)."
source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16797462
Also "The total recurrent expenditure on police services around Australia in 2009–10 was approximately $8.5b"
source: https://aic.gov.au/en/publications/curr ... urces.aspx
Surely if we as a society are spending over twice as much per year to clean up road traffic crashes as we are spending on police in total you would have to agree that the police either aren't treating traffic issues seriously enough, or they are grossly underfunded.
Re: Deliberately targeted by white tradie ute (nsw
I don't know about WA but in NSW the size of the police force has increased. It's often an attitude problem, not a resourcing issue.

- In Tibet, the "art of dying" is nothing less than the art of living.
- Interviews with renowned holy men and scholars.
What happens to us when we die? When THE TIBETAN BOOK OF THE DEAD came to light in the Western world, many thought that fundamental question had finally been answered. THE HISTORY CHANNEL® now gives you an opportunity to learn its secrets in this stunning, unique exploration.
Based on the Buddhist belief in reincarnation, the Book of the Dead is a how-to manual for dying: a guidebook of the Afterlife that includes encounters with gods, demons and one's own future parents at the moment of conception. Written in the 8th Century AD, its description of the Tibetan afterlife bears an uncanny similarity to modern stories of the Near-Death Experience.
Hidden from the world for over a thousand years, discovered in the remotest corner of the planet, finally translated in the 20th Century, this mythical and mystical text is one of the key scriptures of world religion. In this exquisite one-hour examination, THE HISTORY CHANNEL® consults with celebrated authorities such as the Dalai Lama and Robert Thurman and explores the history of the manuscript and the meaning of its message.
This is the journey of a lifetime, and of a "death-time."

In that episode Voyager left copies of it's crew behind on the Demon planet, copies who were desperate to remain behind and unable to live anywhere else.

But when the phenomenon begins to affect the crew as well as the ship, it leads to a discovery which profoundly shakes their very sense of themselves and may make their attempts to reach home meaningless.

2012 Hyundai Azera priced from $32,000 and Gen Coupe from $24,250*
by John Neff (RSS feed) on Feb 14th, 2012 at 1:00PM
We've gotten word from our man on location driving the new 2012 Hyundai Azera that the Korean automaker's fully redesigned full-size front-wheel-drive sedan will start at $32,000, not including $875 in destination charges, when it goes on sale this spring. The only option available will be a $4,000 Tech package. We're not certain yet what all will be included in the Tech package since items like touch-screen navigation and a back-up camera will be standard equipment on the 2012 Azera, but we're looking into it. Hyundai is asking an awful lot more for its new Azera compared to the one it... Read More
