Rated 5 out of 5Â by fashionista KICK A** These are so retro cool!!! Remind me of a pair my mom had in the 70s!!! They fit like a glove and the material is very comfy. The color is great and they are LONG! The bell is nice and wide and the pockets are flat on your hips so they give you a great slimming look. I cannot wait to wear these!!! Gotta get out the huge Jackie - O glasses!! 5.20.2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Sinchonies High Waisted Zippered Wideleg I am 5'10" and weigh 175#--tall and curvy. These pants fit perfectly and the length is great, about 33" inseam, just right with flats or a low wedge. The look is excellent for a tall girl--I hope FP will add these in a dark denim as that would make it a 5 star product. 5.14.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by LittleMissMolly Must be Tall... Being very petitie and short I knew I'd have to hem these pants, but upon recieving them and trying them on, hemming wasn't the only thing these pants would need. They were just plain too big all around. I was so disappointed because the pants are great style-wise and they were well constructed. They just dont offer a size small enough for me. They have nice stretch, but would certainly fit best on someone tall and slender. Sadly, they will be returned : / 3.23.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by 4pinav 70's inspired Great jeans! Beautiful denim as well, has a vintage feel. Seeing that these are high waisted jeans, I sized down to a 25 and they fit great. Very flattering, they certainly bring me back. Love them! 12.6.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jomm76 beyond loving these jeans These jeans are my dream jean! they are long for me -yayyyy! - which never happens as i am 5'8 and due to other reviews on this site i ordered a size down. (i measured them up against another highwaisted flare that i have and i measured as a 27 but ordered 26) The size i recieved is perfectly fitted and the colour is perfect for our soon to arrive summer here in Australia! Soooo comfy, truely my new fav jean! 8.27.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by clau my new favorite :) This are my new favorite jeans! They fit perfect, excellent quality, super sexy. Just a note: when I say they fit perfect I mean waist, hips, but not the length !!!! They are crazy long. I got used to it already and I have a great tailor ready for me any time I go shopping with FP. Their pants are not made for everybody length wise. Other than that they are fabulous. 7.5.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by bellarue very vintage i have these in the denim color and love them so much i got them in white too. the white is a little gray for a white (not a super bright white). the high waist is very flattering if you have a small waist. they are very long and may need to be hemmed even if you wear them with tall platforms. great with a fitted tank. i think they run a little big and they are somewhat stretchy so don't be afraid to order on the small side if you're between sizes. overall, very pleased with my purchase! 7.4.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by erica28 so 70's! The fabric is soft and lightweight. I wore these the other day with wedges, it was sooo 70s! 3.26.2012

I've recently bought a second hand copy of Good Omens, and I was wondering what it was - if it's a special printing, or airplane style thing or what ever.
It's a hard back (apparently from 1990) that has a nice picture of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett on the back of the dust jacket - in black and white respectively, standing outside a tomb.
Any help is appreciated

What do you think is the biggest technological challenge the human race will face in the next 30 years?
I see a lot of things wrong with humanity and I just want another persons input.
Jun 30 2012: One challenge will be to deal with a world population heading towards 9 billion. The problem is not just the numbers, but numbers + expectations of lifestyle 'quality', and the (often illusory) imperative of technology to support it.
There is a certain point at which quality of life actually starts to become degraded by technology - for instance where it becomes too 'labour-saving' to the point of making human endeavour redundant.
Why should technology be labour-saving, rather than labour enhancing? What's wrong with good honest labour, and the use of mind and body? Have we not evolved to enjoy - and to take pride in - working to survive?
The biggest challenge might be to rid ourselves of the kind of technology that detracts from the enjoyment of our own existence.
Simon Gough
Jul 13 2012: Nice post Allan. I agree and I think you can link a number of other issues with this. If technology reduces our the amount of physical activity then that is bad for our health and contributes to issues like the growing diabetes problem.
- +1
The problem with combating the issue is that the vast majority of businesses that make decisions about the use of technology are owned by a few and are driven both personally, or externally by shareholders, to maximise their profit.
In the current economic model I therefore can't see how they will stop making the decision to invest and purchase labour saving technology when it shows an increased profit.
Maybe one answer is a new wave of 'non-profit' business growing that aren't focused on profit but rather as you say "good honest labour, and the use of the mind and body". Hopefully these businesses would be focused on what they add to society and providing meaningful and enjoyable work for fair pay.
Unfortunately these will be slow growers as they will have to grow organically due to external investors expecting a profit on their investment.
Jul 14 2012: Thanks Simon.
Great points about the maximising of profits and the well-being of shareholders - as opposed to a moral presumption towards the common good.
It's a shame that it has taken off-the-scale outrageous behaviour of our financial institutions for the agents of change to recognise that something might have gone horribly wrong.

Jul 14 2012: Thank you Mr Macdougall! As a Chinese I constantly feel the drawbacks of a large population. And I guess our planet has already been saturated with the number of creatures living on it.
- +2
However, the problem does not lie with whether the future technology should be "labor-saving" or not. Actually, if the future technology calls for more human labor, then we should have a good reason to give birth to even more lives in order to improve our well-beings. (Note that population aging will be more severe in the future.)
As an engineering student, I deeply feel the trend of technology developments is going to be smarter and increasingly "labor-saving". There are way too much merits of automation and it's beyond the scope of the topic I'm talking about here.
Maybe there's one possible solution to the potential problem with the 9 billion or even more population - mitigate to other planet such as Mars. But I guess I'm gonna stay on the Earth.
Jul 14 2012: Hi Anthony. Thank you for your response.
A few questions:
Does the proliferation of technology conform to laws of thermodynamics/equilibrium? What would happen to technology after the depletion of its own power source, and what would replace that source?
What are the advantages of having technology so labour saving as to make body and mind redundant?
Is what we create more valuable than who we are?
I see your point about more human labour = increases in population, especially in the light of what we now know about healthcare and medicine. However, I tentatively put to you that the more humans move towards what it sees as technological nirvana, the less we are in touch with our own biological/psychological evolution.
If we can't learn to live within our own means on the planet we have, then we do not deserve to contaminate another. I'm staying right here too!
Jul 14 2012: Hi Allan. Your questions seem very big and are not easy to answer in short. I'll try to express some of my thoughts.
1 Because I have been strictly trained in science since middle school, I don't believe anything, or any technology derived from it, on this planet can go against the law of conservation of energy or zero~third law of thermodynamics - they are the fundamental of all our theory and technology. Therefore, I don't think there would exist any technology without certain amount input of energy (power source).
2 I think you wrongly relate the effect of labor-saving technology with the redundance of body and mind of human here. From my perspective, the future technology will free human from working heavily in factories or in dangerous places by means of advanced level of automation and remote and precise control. Researchers around the world have put enormous amounts of energy in such areas, but unfortunately, we are still in the middle of it. And many other fields such as energy need further development too. So I think there will never be redundance of "human body and mind", present or future. They just shift from a low-level (well I think so), physical way to a high-level, intellectual way.
3 As a technology optimist, I think we are able to do that. But I wouldn't say we've been that far already. Whenever it comes true, it's going to be another significant revolution of human history.
I get your point that some people feel less in touch with their inner core when technology moves forward. That's another interesting topic which I would love to discuss with you later.
Sean Kang
Jul 5 2012: I think it's restructuring our financial system. I think at the most fundamental level, our current distribution of wealth and currency system gives incentives to people to only think about making money rather than encouraging us to actually make contributions to our world. I am not a communisit or socialist by any means, but if we can figure out a way to motivate each individual by rewarding them in a fair manner, this will undoubtedly solve all the existing and future problems of our world. We have to devise a way to maintain socio-economic equity while keeping everyone motivated.
- +3
At the core of every problem that we are currently facing, money is the culpirt. There are millions of gifted minds across the globe who possess the intellect to surpass many notable professors and researchers; yet those gifted individuals are not striving to make a positive difference in our world but are encouraged by our monetary system to conspire against the public. It is not because they are bad people but our monetary system encourages them to do so. People need to be given a different incentive.
The field of science has made a tremendous leap over the last hundred years but our financial systems are much the same. I mean afterall, we should be fueled by a nobler incentive rather than primitive bags of coins and wampuns right?
As forementioned, the biggest technological challenge for the human race in the next 30 years would be figuring out a new incentive system geared towards maintaining ecnomic equity.
Jul 5 2012: i don't understand the following statements:
"people to only think about making money rather than encouraging us to actually make contributions to our world"
you get money for contributing something to the world, don't you? we all contribute 8 hours a day.
"rewarding them in a fair manner"
today we are not rewarded in a fair manner? how is it unfair? every contribution you make, sold on the market to the highest bidder. what could be more fair than that?
"gifted individuals [...] are encouraged by our monetary system to conspire against the public"
for example bill gates did not deliver a popular operating system? or owners of walmart did not deliver cheap products and good service to many millions? or ford did not make the automobile available? or rockefeller did not make petroleum affordable for the masses? how are these a "conspiracy against public"?
Sean Kang
Jul 5 2012: I find it distubring that one guy gets paid million dollars a year just because he started a company while the worker at a factory gets paid not even one thousandth of the employer's salary. I mean, perhaps three folds or even up to ten folds sounds much more reasonable as opposed to a thousand times.
- +1
Philanthropists like Bill Gates is a rare example. I guess he was enlightened enough to realize that we are all the same. Company executives very well know that their company can charge significantly less for their products and still reap a fair margin yet they choose not to do so. By monopolizing the market, they conspire against the public. (and if you want to talk about how competition is abundant in the market, price fixing is everywhere.. companies love playing that game) It has been like this for thousands of years. It's nothing new.
That's why we have to change our financial system. We need to evolve.
Jul 5 2012: so you decided not to think about these issues, but repeat the shallow statements you picked up somewhere. second round, more questions. this time maybe you are willing to think for yourself.
"I find it distubring that one guy gets paid million dollars"
why? do you have any reason other than envy?
"company can charge significantly less for their products"
what determines price on a free market?
"reap a fair margin"
what is a fair margin? imagine yourself in their boots. you have a company. you sell stuff. what is a fair margin?
"monopolizing the market"
how can a company monopolize the market? don't just pull a stock answer. think about it.
"price fixing is everywhere"
what does price fixing means? how can a company fix the price of its competition? how can they fix the price of competing alternative solutions? again, don't try to ger rid of me. it is easy, but don't make you any more informed. think.
" for thousands of years"
thousands of years of price fixing? please try to imagine the economy in 1200. imagine the life of an ordinary person at that time, say, somewhere in europe. what kind of price fixing there are? what kind of companies? what kind of trade? what kind of monopolies? better don't even answer these. if i see a reply from you within two days, i will immediately know that you refused to think, and just throw random answers to get rid of the questions you don't like. these are very interesting questions if you indeed seek for answers.Jul 5 2012: Well, considering the employer is the reason they have a high salary or low salary job at all, the employer deserves to be a sort of "alpha of the pack". Whether you like it or not, these millionaires are the reasons many have a job at all. Think of Walmart. They could charge a hell of a lot less for certain products and the CEO is rich as can be, but Walmart employes a lot of people. So, if these business owners make a fortune, let them. They deserve it for causing many jobs to be made.
Sean Kang
Jul 5 2012: "so you decided not to think about these issues, but repeat the shallow statements you picked up somewhere"...ooohhh wow...ouch.. you have the nerves to make statements like these? I assume that you thought I was some Occupy Wall street guy set out to preach our beloved Michael Moore's snake oil lectures right??? okay.. i give up. You are smarter than me by multiple folds.

I really thought TED was about express and sharing ideas not receiving these personal vendetta like comments. It seems that as a translator, you made some great contributions to TED...I think comments like these are far too below you.
here are some tips for your future replies:
1. be polite
2. do not express personal anger towards the commentor (whether they are right or wrong..even perhaps misguided)
just stick to these simple rules and you will be fine. Maybe you are not so bitter everyday but for today...I just refuse to banter with you due to your lack of etiquette. You just can't treat people like that whether online or offline; even if you are indeed correct. Take a deep breath and dont ever post stuff like this again. You are an embarassment to anyone who is affiliated with TED.
Jul 5 2012: "you thought I was some Occupy Wall street guy set out to preach our beloved Michael Moore's snake oil lectures right???"
in fact yes. these ideas come from there.Jul 10 2012: Sean,
What a way to avoid the questions because you either found you were wrong or simply cant find the answers on other websites. He was being polite but tough, i think you need to relax and be more open minded to the possibility of you being wrong. If anyone was being rude it was you, sarcastically rebuttling Krisztian. He simply picked apart your argument in a logical manner that was easy to follow, this doesnt make it rude, but it does make it a good counter to you.
This was a interesting debate to read, dont ruin it by saying childish stuff along the lines of 'youre mean so im not gonna talk to you' when you were losing the argument. Come on now.Jul 8 2012: you deserve a nobel prize. i'll see what i can do about it.(just joking)Jun 26 2012: good tasting desalinated water and alternative/innovative forms of food production in inner cities and the surrounds
Jun 27 2012: Yes, that will be useful ! Especially if people continue to gather in big cities where there's nothing to do, to eat or to drink. But I can't help thinking that the cites should become things of the past, and/or temporary entities constructed around a temporary project.
People should be able to move where life is easier, a political leap is needed for that..
We already know simple desalination technics (a plastic bag), and simple vertical garden (another plastic bag). That's what some people already use in shantytowns. Learning those technics in schools would cost nothing.
Gu E
Jun 30 2012: I was reading the comments and hadn't seen anyone directly mention much in regards to the pressures we are facing in food production and access to water. These are definitely important pressures that are and will need to be addressed.
- +1
I think you are right in that we will need technological innovations in food production- especially when you have companies and countries buying/renting land all over (e.g. China in Africa) as a current response to those pressures.
As the world population continues to grow, demand will increase, usable land will decrease, and food prices will continue to skyrocket.
Technological innovations in agriculture is needed and will be part of the focus going forward.
I will add that as usual technological innovations will focus (across sectors): on improving efficiency, quality, speed, and the lowering of costs

Jun 16 2012: What is the biggest technological challenge that the human race will face in the next 30 years?
- +3
In a word, the problem is egocentrism. We badly need a technology paradigm shift.
We are addicted to hedonistic technologies that ignore the real cost to the rest of humanity and our future. (Examples such as growth economies and consumerism running on fossil fuel come to mind.) We have the capability to run everything in a sustainable way. I'm talking about zero carbon emissions and recapturing agriculture and water systems. That's not really the hard part. The hard part is committing to life-sustaining planet-enriching technologies and understanding that that is the point of life on this planet. We are about 7 billion in number and we are mostly ignoring each other's needs.
Bucky Fuller and many others have shown that just by being conservative (doing more with less), we can build a sustainable world. That's a technology design problem, but the problem is not so much a technology failure but a failure of responsible intent in the design and use of the technology.
CO2 in the atmosphere, currently 396 ppm and rising, is a sort of gauge of our global technological situation. Before changes in education or politics can become effective, we need to rethink our priorities about what needs to change in this decade and the next, just so human civilization can survive this century.
Jun 21 2012: There is some reason for optimism. You're right about the hedonism, but that appears to be a natural result of the Judeo-Christian-Newtonian world view, which ignores the Environment , just as it ignores relationships (with people, not God or the World) But this whole phillosphy seems to be in its death throes. The leaders of the world economy can't seem tofigure out why it's not working , in spite of the fact that they keep on repeating policies that didn''t work before, either. Maybe Ayn Rand was wrong. If you celebrate Selfishness, naturally you are going get "Gaming the System". Without "Shame" who will obey the Law?, Especially when the Gamers Make the Law. It's not sustainable.Jun 15 2012: Not creating piles of eWaste. People have gone device-mad. It's all a bit ridiculous.
Jerome Delsa
Jul 10 2012: The question asks for "technological challenge" so I'll say "find and use cleaner (or even better, sustainable) sources of energy".Jul 5 2012: Not technological, although would be caused due to technology-disconnect between the younger and older generations. Even though there has been some disconnect between past generations, the one in the future will be more drastic.
- +2
The kids will be able to access the internet, and therefore, information, at a much younger age which could cause them to rely more on technology than their guardians. When they will need to know the meaning of something, they will simply do voice searches on google to find out the answer. The idea is a stretch, I agree. But it is very much possible for something like that to happen if things aren't moderated-something most parents don't think of with internet/gadgets/technology (unless they've had first hand experience), or simply don't know how to.
Jul 10 2012: Other than the excessive dependents on technology, I don't see much wrong with that. If information could be that easily accessed, just think of how smart the future generations could be if it was utilized in the educational system.
Jul 11 2012: Hmm.. well there isn't anything wrong with that, I agree (well, primarily because I'm a kid myself :) )
Having resources like KhanAcademy and the likes just a click away has been truly beneficial for my studies.
But, I have a feeling that this might turn out deleterious in the future-primarily because of the young age of the kids. Becoming independent is great, and a crucial step forward in life. However, technology might create that barrier between the parents and the kids. They will be smart, but they will become their own bosses, doing what they think is right, and what google thinks is right-which is not always correct.
Jul 11 2012: I don't think it would encourage them to be their own bosses but rather give their minds a greater boost than what our generation get's now. I'm only an 8th grader and I wish we had technology like this. I have to read books in order to get a higher education in order to rise above school education. It is so pleasant to think that, if I was born just 10, maybe even 5, years ahead of now, all I would have to do is ask my search engine to look something up and then have it read it to me then presto! In 10 minutes I got a half hours worth of reading in.Jul 12 2012: I don't know if you got the reply (seems that the system only allows for a max of 3 replies;yes I'm new here). I'll try to condense whatever I said.
You seem to be basing the future thinking that there will be more people like you, who are smart and grasp things much quicker than their peers. But, you must also take into consideration the fact that there will be people who are a complete polar opposite to your image of kids in the future (in most real life cases, there seems to be an abundance of people like these for reasons, unexplained). The amount of distractions the avg student faces now is 100x what was before, and the likelihood of that number going higher is inevitable. Not every person is going to be interested in what you think they might be (this is where the disconnect comes in). You'd want your son to be watching videos on quantum mechanics, but (and let's hope not), maybe they'll end up being fanatics of Justin Bieber's son, and watch youtube videos of them on "hovering" telescreens.Jun 29 2012: Whether or not to become cyborgs ..

Jun 28 2012: i couldn't agree more, greed is the killer app, and most people can agree to work together in a less greedy fashion but the world seems to be in a stronghold held by a few - the wealthy 1% - 3%. i hate to hear politicians talking about going green but then they do nothing to move the country closer - solar, wind, wave, etc. and once we all have free renewable power electric cars can proliferate, and they can be smaller, or they can run on an automated circuit that any citizen can use to get around and cut down on the amount of cars, and i won't even start on on the wonderful bots/machines that could be built that would run on this free energy that could produce/manafacture almost anything we need - and free humans to work on much more challenging and complex tasks.Jun 26 2012: i see no need in new technologies, only the urgent need to use what we already use in a right way.
Jun 26 2012: Your kidding right? We need new technologies in certain categories for safer and efficient usage.
Jun 27 2012: For certain categories you are right, but globaly, i am : what earth needs now is a better humanity.
No technological leap can help when only a few will use it.. for exemple, no medical technology can make a human willing to live, which is mandatory for any body to be healthy. That's why I see no need in new technology in a world where the global trend is dept, war, depression, austerity, and so on.. We first need to share what we already have, for free, before trying to invent another technology that will probably be military in the first place.

Jun 28 2012: i read in the Tao De Ching, that the people don't value their lives because they are not free to enjoy it, i'm paraphrasing of course, but if i were free to live my life and not tied to a job for a 3rd of everyday of my life + commute time and fuel, and recurring bills like electricity i could actually have more free money and more free time to enjoy my life, and would not feel like what is the use of trying, people have to be able to love living before they can really value their lives and the lives of others. if you had all your basic needs provided for and had more free time to enjoy it, would you be busy robbing and killing people?

2) Controlling the fallout from the widespread "instant information" available to all.
3) Having proper laws put in place to manage the many breaches in privacy that are expected.
4) More social unrest as people will now have access to a wealth of information and knowledge and not have the proper wisdom and understanding to effectively use it.Jun 19 2012: 30 years is a long time.
In 30 years machine intelligence may have progressed beyond human levels. It's neither very likely nor very unlikely. It just may happen, judging from Moore's law and the complexity of the human brain (presently, as of 2012, if I recall correctly the record for this kind of computation is the simulation of a fraction of a second's activity in half a rat brain, performed a very much less than real time).
If that happens, then that will make a serious impacts on just about every human endeavor. But in particular, I expect it to make an impact on warfare, because that's historically the fate of every new powerful technology. And then, smarts in the hands of the military means that seriously dumb things will be done in seriously unbeatable intelligent ways.
Autonomous weapons will surely be deployed on battlefields within this time frame. Likewise, smart terrorist and assassination weapons will be used. Economic, psychological and political (!) warfare, which all depend critically on smarts, will be vastly more effective.
Cheap smartness probably also means that privacy will only exist for the very powerful.
Somewhat compensating for that, machine intelligence, if we get it in that time frame, means that research that so far has been too complex to do, will be done, for example, in genetics and epi-genetics.
I guess that ethical issues will just force themselves after the fact, that they will not be taken seriously until they force themselves.
But I think one can perhaps prepare a bit for the "edge" that machine intelligence confers on the military.
It's not unreasonable to believe that only a few big actors will have this capability at the start. Perhaps the US + England, Russia, France and China, maybe Germany. Whoever gets it first will be much in the same position as the US was after having developed atomic weapons, but a big differerence will be that such a nation can then USE its new capability, which was difficult with the A-bomb.
Jun 28 2012: all you really need is good engineers and good programmers, the tech is already in existence.
if i were so inclined i could easily build or outsource a very basic motion detector and or laser sensor,
that could detect movement by radar, by using a camera and comparing the amount difference in two successive photos, or thelaser path beign boken, and attach this almost primitive/trivial technology to
an actuator that would fire a trigger on a hidden machine gun or sniper rifle, setup an array of these
and they could protect my home, in a fileld they could protect the location of each unit while taking out enemies, etc - this is not very sophisticated technology - in fact you can download freeware that will use your webcam for motion detection now, you'd only have to modify how it reacts - it could email me a photo and ask me if i want it to neutralize the threat(doesn't have to kill them) and also notify the police
Jun 28 2012: Michael (and Kevin since it was in regard to that comment),
In response too:
"agree with kevin here, it's important to forget and make mistakes..."
I agree that we can find good in these things, but we can find good in just about anything, if we want to. Many of the things we might find good in, like forgetting things, we actual find good because of our limitations (ie: we forget because we don't have the capacity to hold everything, or the mental system to make it happen). And, in fact they really aren't that good, because they don't have to be exploited to occur. They are inherent flaws, they happen whether you like it or not. Is it really that great that we make mistakes when it costs people their lives (like in a faulty design in a car, or even a car accident)?
The challenge is surviving with them, and overcoming problems with them, since they do limit us greatly-- to the point where we have to rely on advancements in technology to progress and continue solving many of the world's problems (because our brains can't do it without them).
(I put the reply here, because the other reply was put WAY down the line lol, probably too far to see)Jul 14 2012: I am impressed with Michael Picucci's contribution. Consumer based economies have devastated our planet. And he is right in suggesting that resource based economy will support a healthier planet. Our resources need to be respected rather than frittered away on stuff that continues to age out at alarming rates.
Technology needs to advance in partnership with our planet - who is cleaning up the debris from the Fukishima tsunami (no one to blame, but still needs attention)? I read of oceanic drifts of plastics miles long collecting in our oceans that has been noted but no news of how this is being remediated (it isn't about who to blame, it is about polluting the waters we depend upon to provide our sustenance) . Our challenge is managing our own waste in all its forms.
We need sustainable power and clean water. I can not believe we faced power issues in the 70s and petroleum has remained the primary relied upon resource. Wind and solar power research seems to have been in park until only recently.
As I glean the research it appears more motivated on how to get the biggest buck for the least change yet touted (erroneously) as major change to improve use of our resources.
Guess I'm saying the greatest technological challenge is a higher moral compass for the goods and services humanity needs (not wants) to operate effectively.

Jul 14 2012: Technology is not just a machine or contraption that we make. I would equally relate it to applied knowledge for a specific purpose. With that...

The biggest technological challenge our race is already encountering is the technology of social change.Jul 14 2012: It is a challenge of leadership. Once leadership accepts that a strictly "finance-based economy" is doomed, we may adopt a "resource-based economy" that focuses on natural resources and how to best use for all. This would have to include additional forms of currency (as is already being done in several cultures). When leadership moves in this direction technology will be redirected toward these new intentions.
Ezeani Chris
Jul 8 2012: For me it will be controlling and effectively legislating technology and its use. To understand what i mean, imagine Al-Queda with nuclear weapons or hackers getting uncontrolled access to classified information. Or to use a more common example blatant copying of other peoples designs and intellectual property. In the end global warming is a joke compared to what unregulated technology would cost us.
- +1
Jul 8 2012: All true except for the global warming part. You see, if the greenhouse effect continues, obviously the world gets warmer, but, it will also release the thousands of tons of methane from the southern and northern tundras of the world. Methane is a much worse greenhouse gas and would further speed up global warming. When the temperature rises that much the north pole will completely melt, literally wiping the coasts of certain countries of the map, which would damage the global economy. There would also be increased tensions in the middle east and that could lead to nuclear war. Especially between Iran and India which both have nuclear weapons that are only 1st generation atomic bombs, meaning that their bombs are extremely dirty and release high amounts of radioactive material. The U.S. and Russia have 3rd generation bombs which are "clean bombs". Global warming could also cause a sort of 21st century Permian extinction with increasing desertification and rising temperatures. During the Permian extinction, 90% of earths species died out. Imagine that repeating it self. On top of all that, the global climate would be much drier, reducing crop growth when you have a still growing population. Natural disasters would also be much more common, costing billions of dollars a year. So, global warming is a lethal chain reaction that would end up being much more dangerous than hackers, terrorists and theifs.
Jul 10 2012: In your argument you try to make global warming seem much worse then it is by linking it to nuclear warfare, thought there is no correlation and no causation.
The Permian extinction had essentially 2 phases. in the 1st phase, it is 'proposed' that gradual climate change occured. But the true damage, what truly killed so much 'has been argued to be due to a catastrophic event'. This could be a nuclear war in our situation, but a nuclear war is not caused or even linked to global warming.
From wikipedia talking about artic methan release: "while methane release is indeed likely to amplify global warming to an unknown level, fears that it could lead to catastrophe are possibly overblown."
You say the rate of occurence of natural disasters would increase, im assuming youre talking about hurricanes, flooding, and tornadoes for the most part, because global warming doesnt affect earthquakes and thus dont affect tsunamis. But earlier you said there would be less rain and it would be much drier, so wouldnt the rate of floods and hurricanes decrease?
Temperature increases are much more overblown then they actually are. Im sure you are aware of temperature cycles of hotter and cooler. But even if we take that out and look at the facts and the numbers, temperatures are .1 degrees hotter then they should be, and .4 degrees hotter on the most radical scale. Is this really more dangerous then terrorists with nuclear weapons pointed to our largest cities? hackers distorting shipping and manufacturing throughout the world?
siting graph: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2000_Year_Temperature_Comparison.png
Jul 10 2012: I don't think your making a connection here. Nuclear war would be possible in the middle east because of increasingly crowded conditions. The middle eastern countries are already crowded and would try to claim more land for their countries in this situation. There would indeed be more tropical storms because if the increased amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. This means that there would be more fuel for storms to occur. These temperature changes seem slight, but the planets temperature was it's original way for a reason. Because the climate is very sensitive. Even slight temperature changes have already caused the north poles glaciers to melt significantly. The cycles that the earth go through happen over millennium, not all of a sudden after the industrial revolution. The methane release would be extremely significant since the tundras around the world would thaw, thus causing tens of thousands of years of animals to rot, thus causing tens of thousands of years of methane release. Oh, and I wouldn't use Wikipedia for this situation since anybody with an opinion on the subject could edit the article.Jul 10 2012: 'increasingly crowded conditions'
Middle eastern countries, with the exception of israel, are some of the least crowded countries on earth. Most middle eastern countries ie. iraq, afghanistan, iran, saudi arabia have under 200 people per square mile. When looking at a list, these countries have some of the smallest population densities.
'increased amount of water vapor in the atmosphere'
thats what i thought, but didnt you also say this:
' the global climate would be much drier, reducing crop growth when you have a still growing population'
speel about methane:
This is a new field of study, all scientists agree that this does add to the affect of global warming. However, many believe that it may take decades to make a substantial impact. And again, since the question focuses on the immediate 30 years, the theory on arctic methane release does not apply.
'even slight temperature changes have already caused the north poles glaciers to melt significantly'
yes the sea level has risen, on average 1 mm each year. in the context of this question, this would equate to 3 cm. ( 1mm x 30 years) 3 cm of added sea level posts relatively small consequences when compared to other dangers posted above.
Jul 10 2012: I'm talking about the long term, not just 30 years, so the methane problem does indeed apply. And while I realize the middle east isn't majorly populated, before even 30 years comes along, their numbers will rise dramatically, causing thousands of refugees to flee from the ever rising shores and concentrate the population to a high degree. Remember, you can't use today's population stats to fight this argument, you have to predict what the population in those areas will be like by mid century. On top of that, because of global economic damage, the growing population will be under stress, causing more reckless countries to solve such problems with violence and war. Remember, this problem will only be in full swing by mid century, so, we have 40 years to switch to a cleaner life style. Once again, I'm talking about the long term. But it doesn't hurt to acct on these problems now. Oh, and as you stated, Israel is the only country it takes to trigger the entire middle east to go up in flames.Jul 11 2012: If you're basing all your arguments off POSSIBLE events happening in over 30 years, we're debating different things. I wasn't arguing with your points by trying to say they're wrong, other then your view on the middle east, but just saying that they don't pertain to the question being asked.
To restate the question if you happened to forget: What do you think is the biggest technological challenge the human race will face in the next 30 years?
3 key words being next 30 years. My arguments have been based off of the next 30 years, not the long term (over 30 years).
now to your single point that still applies to this question:
' before even 30 years comes along, their numbers will rise dramatically, causing thousands of refugees to flee from the ever rising shores and concentrate the population to a high degree'
i hate to give a geography lesson, but you do understand that these middle eastern countries are high above sea level, and even with population increases, which are on average 2% throughout the middle east. so in 30 years time, the population density is estimated to still be under 280 people per square mile, which is not crowded at all. Also, this 'ever rising shore line' is a grand total of 3cm, not exactly geographically devastating for the middle east.
'global economic damage, the growing population will be under stress, causing more reckless countries to solve such problems with violence and war'
What global economic damage? and please keep your response to events that can actually occur in the next 30 years, not falling back to global warming or other environmental issues.
But please keep in mind the actual question, which refers to the next 30 years.
Jul 11 2012: Most of the issues I've stated are not indeed a threat in a 30 year time period, however, climate change is one of the major threats in a 30 year time frame. As I've said, desertification, frequent tropical storms, extinction, and lower crop production is a extremely likely threat, in fact, many of these issues are being witnessed now. Desertification being the biggest one. For example, in south America, deforestation causes land to be exposed and dried out. This land is cleared for agriculture, but you can't grow anything on dry land.
Jul 7 2012: Boredom, when the aliens steal our smart phones.Jun 29 2012: Three major fields:
- +1
1. Geotechnology - including GIS, GPS and remote sensing technologies. They will allow us to understand the Earth's systems, make early warning systems for environmental change, analyze traffic, demographic and hopefully as many complex systems of the biophysical and the socioeconomic dimensions.
2. Nanotechnology - May applications here, mainly is the ability of building micro robots that can for example eat through oil molecules but more importantly enter the human body to do exploratory and repair work.
3. Biotechnology - the ability to manipulate genomes, combine characteristics of certain species, create improved crop varieties, and maybe even create cells, organs, and even organisms.
Jun 29 2012: All those technologies already exist, but only a few of us are allowed to use them : only those who "own" the idea of using it.
This is called intellectuel property, or patent, or license. This is what plague our world(s) : we act as if the world was imaginary. We act as if a hammer won't work if it's not ours.
Don't believe the hype !!
Any human body is constantly using nanotechnology : Any enzym is a mechanical molecule, our body makes his own. What we need NOW is good food, that's all. For that, we must be able to move where food is. If we don't open-source the raw material earth is, I see no possible human progress.
Instead, it all looks like the slow motion suicide of a specie..
Remember life is good, not goods!
ps.GPS : Sun, moon, stars.
ps.GIS : Human memory, in or out of his own body (writings, buildings).
ps.NanoTechno : Food
ps.BioTechno : Sexuality, breeding.

Jun 28 2012: personally i think we already have the technology to fulfill my dream, but building machines and/or programming them may be a slight sticking point, along with human fears of automation.
- +1
my dream is to see the whole world having free energy from renewal resources, this would allow us to create bots/machines, they don't have to be humanoid just specialized at what they were created to do.
think about having the ability to run your a/c, heater, electric stove, electric car, or a trane air filtration and condition sytem to keep your home at a decent temp and cleansingthe air, think about having bots that plant and harvest fruits and veggies and materials needed for producing clothing, think about machines creating clothing from the materials produced by the machines, all mostly or fully automated, think about modular units that can be mix and matched to custom build your home - where i'm going is free food, clothing, shelter and power for all. I'm not advocating overpopulating the earth, just providing the basics to all.
when we all have free renewable power, we can do and automate so many things, and when we all have free food, clothing and shelter - then we can stop worrying about basic necessities and easily throw 1000 people onto much more important projects like curing cancer or aids, and many other things that will take a long time for bots/machines to master or be programmed to do. i think humans will always have jobs because many things are too complicated for machines - and as i said they don't even have to be human-like machines, they just need to be able to do a few things exceptionally well.
you could probably envision buying a set of bots that do only what you need, while someone else can buy a different set of bots to handle their project - instead of focusing on trying to build one in our own image, you'll have plenty of time to do that when we can automate many of the fundamental needs.

Since We are consuming the resources at a faster rate than the production...
and using them to get maximize the profit; in this blind process of making money
we are failing to comprehend the intensity of the problems which are being caused out of this
blind chase. so when there is less and less to grow around and making money money
means the margin between the rich and poor are increasing until only some will have a satisfactory
means of living and this will cause an economic boom.....
A revolution...
So what i would say is important to prevent is that
we have a better system of values....
and if we go hand in hand there will be plenty to go around....
if we stop running after money and pleasure and start going after some spiritual knowledge...
if we stop thinking what i can get from the world to thinking what i can give to the World...
We have Done Something Marvelous....Jun 22 2012: Maybe water and other issues related to increasing population and per capita consumption.
I also worry about the proliferation of WMD.

Jun 21 2012: That is a simple one. Our civilised life depends on cheap energy, and the oil , and other carbon based fuels are running out as we speak. Even if we find more, we cannot afford to use them, and still go on breathing.
- +1
There is even a simple answer to this problem, but the educated world doesn't seem to be able to pull itself together enough to even talk about using it., except dismissively. I mean the non-polluting, unlimited, carbon free Thorium Liquid Fueled nuclear Reactor. (LFTR). This power system, invented and demnstrated to power airplanes 50 years ago, has already been demonstrated empigjt to show not only that it works, but enough work was done to answer many of the obvious questions about just how to do that.
Our educational system, unfortunately, combined with a remarkablyshort sighted political and economic sytem, have combined to confuse the ussue . The combination of some "democracy" or at least poplulism, along with the experience of frequent and dysfunctional lying by the "powers that be" have together convinced the half-educated public that the issue might possibly be solved with "renewable energy" if we only tried harder. Unfortunately, this is not true in a practical sense, unless we are willing to regress to an energy level of say a hundred years ago (or more). So I guess one could say that the real problem is the poorly educated citizenry, including those at the top of it. It would be ironic, although clearly possible, that it could be those evil Chinese "Communists" who finally demonstrate the practicality of LFTRs. and then we could folllow along . But cheer up: that is History repeating itself, slightly differently: The Chinese many years ago, originated the basic inventions that enable Europe to take over the World, including China, much later. So it really wouldn't be unfair; it might even stimulate thought.
Jun 21 2012: Most of what you said is already known and, quite frankly, talked about a lot.
Jun 28 2012: i agree with both posts, the tipping point is coming though, one way or the other, we'll die of pollution and/or global warming, won't be able to afford fossil fuels, or we'll actually use all the ubiquitous ways of communicating in the 21st century to speak directly to each other about the facts, right now we could probably organize a campaign to cut way back on fossil fuels for one full month to hit them where it hurts and force the to lower the price - i mean c'mon, oil is still oil, it is harder to mine in some cases, but should that really drive the cost up so much? it's a monopoly plain and simple, and the car makers are simultaeneously dragging their feet to produce electric cars, we need a company dedicated to producing electric cars and dedicated to setiing up renewable energy.
i can see 'petrol stations' using solar/wind energy to charge batteries, you'd pull up and swap out
your low batteries for a fresh set, pay the fee, and pull off, you would not own any specific batteries, we'd all be swapping them out to be recharged. there are companies now that have fleets of public cars that any member of the company can use for a small monthly fee, i think zipcar is one such company.
we need to use technology to keep each other in the loop on the facts, and take what comes through the news an entertainment channels with a grain of salt.
Brian Cox
Jun 21 2012: Conceptualize this question in the reverse: how far have we come since 1982? I was born in 1986 and I remember the dawn of the DVD, the internet, social media...the list goes on.
- +1
The current technological challenges are to make instruments perform faster, exist in a smaller space, and use less battery. I'd say 2042 will include:
- A better battery or powersource
- Wireless adaptation for most technology
- Integrated communication between all devices
- Universal access to internet, education, news, and culture
- Through GPS and social media, I believe locating yourself (or somebody) will be easy
- Better communication devices
and last but not least,
- Hoverboards are long overdue :)
Jun 21 2012: All of those changes are required to achieve better efficiency, which I'm sure you have already figured out.
One challenge I don't think will be tackled however is global access to internet, education, news and culture. I'm referring to third world countries. With the ever increasing progress, third world countries will collapse because of the progress of developed countries.
Aja B.
Jun 21 2012: That's interesting, Kevin... are you saying you think that developed countries are going to overtake the less-developed countries? How would you see that playing out?
- 0
Jun 22 2012: I just think we have reached a point of no return for third world countries(sadly). I t could have been helped maybe ten to thirty years ago, but now development has really kicked in.Jun 28 2012: contrary to kevin's opinion, i think that even if 3rd world countries come to naught, that 1st world citizens will re-populate them as they will eventuall run out of space from over population. so they'd either have to control population or upgrade the 3rd world countries to their standard of living so they don't overpopulate their countries and still have the luxury of living in any first world country since they'd all be upgraded to first world standard sooner or later - even if later happens because they run our of living space and have to move elsewhere.
Chris Brown
Jun 21 2012: Feeding the poor (some things will never change) in the face of ever increasing desert. The difference is more people will fall in the poor group.
- +1
Oil will be $300 a barrel, gas will be still be under $5. Mainly due to compressed methane collected under white tarps (to replace the reflective effect of the long gone snow) Water will be somewhere in between.
The interest rate will be 20%.. America will be either involved in a war with someone or a recession. If we can learn anything from 200 years of history...
Hilal Halil
Jun 20 2012: I think the most important challenges are not technological ones, they're cultural ones. Because the world is being improved and modernized. If we (our culture, language, nationality, etc.) keep in step with the modern world, we will be one of the winners. If we don't do it, then we'll only have a chance to watch the developing ones. So let's join the challenge, don't be an observer.

Terry Haynes
Jun 19 2012: Hello kevin
- +1
I see the biggest technological challenge in the next 30 years is to replace our dwindling resources with materials outside our planet. From mining the moon to asteroids to Mars and tranporting the needed materials at a reasonable cost. Sooner or later we will no choice but to go off planet for the resourses we need. Our survival depends on our creativity and resourcefullness. Its a no brainer my young friend. And maybe you could help make it happen.
Jun 19 2012: "At reasonable costs" is an important constraint, considering that the Apollo project cost 11 Billion at the value of the 1961 dollar, and it brought back a few kilograms of moon rock. I do not think people will pay 100,000 dollars for an iPad just because it contains a few milligrams of rare-earths from an asteroid.
Perhaps there is a simpler, non-technological approach: lower footprint per person, fewer people, changed life-style.

Steelers' players always giving backPosted by on December 10, 2012 – 10:22 pm
Steelers' players were busy in the community on Monday, giving back in multiple ways to help some worthy causes.
Cornerback Ike Taylor hosted his first "Shop with a Jock" event, taking 50 kids served by MHY Family Services on a shopping spree, with each of them receiving $100 to spend.
Taylor, who was joined by several of his teammates, helped the kids pick out items for themselves or family members.
"It's a good thing to do this," said Taylor. "It's about giving back. We have to understand kids look up to us. Taking on a job of a role model, you might not want to but at certain times you have to."
MHY Family Services provide a safe place for youth to get through the tough times of dealing with psychological or social traumatic experiences. And for Taylor, not just donating to the shopping experience but spending time with the kids meant the world to him.
"Just giving of your time is the best thing that you can do," said Taylor. "You can give money, but kids appreciate time more than anything. That is a memory. Time is nothing but memories. I could have written a check out, but for me and my teammates to be hands on with the kids is a real true memory."
Linebackers LaMarr Woodley and Stevenson Sylvester and defensive end Ziggy Hood hosted a toy drive to benefit Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC at the Mall at Robinson.
"I love to give back," said Woodley. "When kids are involved, I always want to give back. I remember what it was like as a kid and I want them to enjoy it and have a good time. For people to come out and donate toys, it's a great feeling to know the kids will have fun and enjoy Christmas. Unfortunately some of these kids will be in the hospital on Christmas and we want to make their Christmas a lot better."
The line snaked around the mall, with fans arriving before 8 a.m., waiting over nine hours until the start of the event.
"It's crazy. I didn't expect there to be as many people as there are. I appreciate everything people are contributing. Thanks to them for helping make this Christmas great."
The toys ranged from footballs and trucks to baby dolls and board games, all of which will be put together and delivered to the kids at Children's Hospital on Christmas.
"I wouldn't want to do anything but this, trying to help the kids out," said Hood. "It's an honor to be able to do this. To give toys to kids in the hospital, who can't come down on Christmas morning to their own tree, is an awesome feeling."
Safety Ryan Clark hosted Cleats for a Cure, raising money for the Ryan Clark's Cure League in conjunction with the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC. The money raised will aid with research, clinical care and to help find a cure.
Ever since Clark learned that he carried the sickle cell trait in 2007, when he became ill after playing in the high altitude in Denver, he has wanted to do something to help fight the disease and the Cure League was the perfect outlet for him.
"For me it's kind of a dream come true, but more than that," said Clark. "I could never dream this big. I am extremely passionate about it. This is the cause for me. I lost my sister in law to the illness so I know how fatal it can be. To be a part of finding a cure or helping with it is exciting for me. That is why I chose this cause."
The idea behind Cleats for a Cure was to offer fans something different, as they could bid on player's game worn cleats that were painted and decorated to fit the players' personalities.
"We wanted to give the fans that have been to so many events something different," said Clark. "It's a one of kind collector's piece. You can't walk into a house and just see James Harrison's game used signed cleats as an art piece.
"I choose my cleats because I think they are really cool and people love breast cancer awareness month. But it's not the only fatal illness that we should have awareness for. It is a great cause, but there are other causes too."

Elsinore (Helsingør) - Denmark
This service will help the angler visiting the area find interesting fishing spots, shops and other activities that can be worth spending time on while staying here
A nice city in the northern part of Sjaellend about 30-40 minutes away from Copenhagen and right on the water of Oresund - and some very good water too.
Elsinor also offers several free lakes in some nice settings and close to Elsinore you will find some of the most beautiful stretches of the north coast of Sjaelland.
The fishing season in the Copenhagen generally follows the season in the rest of the country.
Cold, often with ice on the sea. Fishing is possible, but is usually really slow.
As January, but if the ice breaks fishing can pick up on warm days.
Fishing starts. Warm and sunny days are best. The sea trout will start biting for real, but fishing can still be slow.
By many considered the best month for sea trout and with the garfish starting to run in the last week.
A great month with sea trout willing to bite and plenty of garfish.
Pike season is opening in the lakes after the pike have spawned and can be really god.
Fishing is slowing down during the daytime, but early mornings and late nights can do well.
Pike fishing can still be found, but as the lake water is warming up, the pike are to be found in the deeper parts, and will often require a boat to reach.
Water gets warmer and fishing is best in the dark. Coastal night time fishing over reefs and on points with plenty current is usually the best. the first mullets typically show.
Lake fishing is usually very slow, but both pike, carp and perch can be active evening and morning.
Night fishing is the best bet, but early and lte fishing starts if the water cools down in the last part of the month.
Mullets are increasing in numbers, but are notoriously difficult to find and to hook.
Garfish will be running back into the Atlantic. Fishing for them can be good in the beginning of the month in the harbor, but not as good on the open coasts - the fish run far from shore.
Sea trout fishing from the beach is picking up. Early morning and sunset is the best bet, but daytime is getting better as the month progresses.
Lake fishing is picking up again after the warm summer.
Daytime fishing for sea trout on good days can be spectacular. The fish are all in prime condition.
Mullet can still be around, but are slowly disappearing south.
Colder days are slow, but warm and calm days can still work. The sea trout can still be willing to take, but fishing is slowing down. Cod can be targeted, but mainly from boats over deeper water, and rarely using flies.
Many pike anglers consider November the best month for lake pike.
Season is closing down and so is fishing, which can be really slow, but with a good day now and then.
The ocean charter boat cod season is peaking, and good trips for cod and herring can be had out of Copenhagen, Elsinore and several other Oresund towns.
Sea trout
Sea trout is the saltwater species number one in Demark, and by far the most popular fish to fish for in the ocean. The fish are present all year and can be fished as long as the water is open.
The fish are quite common, but can still be hard to find, and locating fish is the hard part of sea trout fishing, because once they are found, they are often fairly easy to catch.
You can even bump into the odd salmon while fishing the ocean, from the beach but more likely if you are fishing from a boat over deeper water.
The garfish are present in huge numbers two times a year: spring and autumn.
The big run is in May where the fish are on their way to spawning. This is one of the most popular fishing opportunities in Denmark, and almost everybody who likes to wave a rod goes fishing for them. They are easy to catch and well suited for beginners and children.
The autumn run of garfish is starts late August and early September and lasts for a couple of weeks or three. These fish are typically larger than the spring fish, but run further out to sea and can be hard to catch.
Cod is rare in the harbor and not common on the beach either (commercially overfished in the Baltic). The best cod fishing can be found in Oresund outside Copenhagen, but requires a boat. Lots of charter boats sail out from different parts of Copenhagen, Elsinore and other cities.
Mullet are a late season visitor that can come in large numbers in July, August, September and even October. They can sometimes be found in the harbor, but are a rare guest. Many marinas on the other hand, will have a good population during the late summer and early autumn. Mullet can be difficult to find and are notoriously difficult to catch.
Perch can be found in the harbor, but is mostly fished on bait, and shrimps are very popular amongst those who have success with the perch.
Saltwarer pike is a rare visitor in the Copenhagen area, but once you move south they become more and more common. For targeted fishing for saltwater pike you need to go at least an hour south of Copenhagen and find places with less salty water.
Flatfish is an option most places if you fish with bait and weight. In the harbor you cannot keep and eat the fish due to remaining bottom pollution from the 50's and 60's. The water is very clean, but the bottom is not.
Rainbow trout
Rainbows don't appear as wild fish in the Danish ocean, but since a lot of sea farms raise rainbow trout, some escape now and then, and can be found on the Danish coasts. The fish are typically large (4-8 lbs. and larger), and often appear in large, concentrated schools. Sometimes they are easy to catch and sometimes very difficult, but always a lot of fun although most of the fish aren't exactly beautiful, but bear the typical traits of the farmed fish: fat and tailless.
Ide and roach
In many places south of Copenhagen you can find freshwater species such as ide and roach in the brackish water. These fish are often found in large schools and can be a lot of fun to target in the clear ocean water.
Freshwater pike is one of the most popular species to target in lakes. They are quite common and can grow to some hefty sizes, which in combination with their aggression and hunger makes them a popular quarry. Pike are protected during April, but can be fished the rest of the year. May and early autumn is usually considered the best pike months.
Perch is present in almost any lake, and even though not all lakes hold large fish, the perch is an aggressive predator that will take a spinner or a colorful and deeply fished fly. The perch can be fished as long as the water is open.
Pike perch (zander)
Pike perch isn't common, but can be found in some larger lakes. They are often fished from boat at dusk and night using bait or rubber jigs, but can also be taken on the fly.
Bream isn't the most popular fish, but can actually be a lot of fun to fish for using heavy nymphs or bait. The fish can be sight fished a few places and grow to some very decent sizes making up for their less than thrilling will to fight.
Roach is also omnipresent and can be found in almost all lakes and streams. They are so common that they seem to have lost many anglers' interest, but can be a lot of fun to fish on small nymphs and will even rise to dry flies, and are not at all easy to catch. They can grow to decent sizes like a pound or two.
Many of the streams hold good populations of ide, which aren't great fighters, but can offer some good fun and action when present. Ide can easily weigh 2-4 lbs.
Tench is an elusive, fairly rare and difficult fish, mostly caught on bait, but also willing to take a deeply fished fly.
Carp are becoming rarer, mostly because some anglers actually keep them to eat. The large, decade-old carp of the heyday are very uncommon, but some lakes still hold decent carp. The carp in the specimen anglers' most prized catch, but carp will also take a fly and can offer some very exiting fishing, which requires stealth and careful casting, but pays off in wild fights and potentially big fish.
There's one place in southern Sjaelland in the stream Suseaa where whitefish can be caught during the winter. It's not a common fish, but possible to find.
Seat trout and salmon
Sea trout in the freshwater can be found in a few streams on Sjaelland, while salmon are very rare if at all present. You will have to go to Fyn or Jutland to experience the fishing for these often large migrating fish.

Filner vetoes port appointments
Yet another potential confrontation looms with Council President Gloria
San Diego Mayor Bob Filner invoked his veto powers for the first time Friday, blocking the City Council's appointments to the Port Commission.
The move sets up another public showdown between the new mayor and council President Todd Gloria less than two months into Filner's tenure. The two sparred last week over appointments to the San Diego Association of Governments.
Filner's decision puts the fate of the would-be port commissioners — attorney Rafael Castellanos and businessman Marshall Merrifield — in serious doubt. The council has 30 days to override the veto with six votes, but that may be difficult given its current 4-4 split between Democrats and Republicans. If the override fails, the city would have to start over or delay the decision until the vacant District 4 seat is filled.
Filner said he vetoed the council's choices for several reasons, including the lack of a District 4 council member to weigh in after Tony Young's Jan. 1 resignation. He also said the city should develop a vision and policy direction for appointees to follow and reshape the appointment process to ensure commissioners can be held accountable by the city.
"The Port District plays a vital role in our community and is central to the economic and cultural success of our region," Filner said. "We need to have a vision of the Port that these Commissioners can carry out."
Gloria responded by saying the two selections would serve the city's interests well and he would schedule a hearing to override the veto.
"After the State of the City address where the mayor stressed the importance of the port to our economic future, he appears to want to leave the city of San Diego unrepresented on the Port Commission for the foreseeable future," said Gloria, who like Filner is a Democrat.
If the city waits until the District 4 seat is filled, it could be several months before the port appointments are made. The District 4 special election is March 26, but if no one wins a majority as expected, the top two finishers would compete in runoff up to 49 days later.
Councilman Scott Sherman said he was disappointed by the mayor's decision. "The Port of San Diego is too important to our regional economy to be held up by partisan, Washington-style political games," he said.
Council Kevin Faulconer also said he would vote for the veto override and called leaving the spots vacant "a disservice to San Diego citizens."
During the Jan. 8 selection process, Gloria joined with his Republican colleagues to appoint Merrifield. Then the Republicans — Faulconer, Mark Kersey, Sherman and Lorie Zapf — returned the favor by voting with Gloria for Castellanos. It was seen as a compromise that saw each side of the political aisle get a preferred choice.
That quid pro quo didn't sit well with some Democrats who feel that the two openings could both be filled with Democrats if the decision is delayed until after the District 4 election, which has historically been won by Democrats.

We Americans have Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and the rest but residents of Enfield, North London, can expect a visit from Dobbey the reindeer this time of year. His owner Gordon Elliott takes him everywhere — to the local pub and with him on the subway or bus. On Christmas, Elliott dresses as Father Christmas and walks Dobbey through town.

I purely love Head's Save Me From Myself.
The guy is obviously really talented on his own and i am really obsessed with the guitarwork he's done for that album. Beyond all the xtianity thing, it evokes that kind of music that i love and i really put head's save me from myself up to the rest of the korn albums. it still has the korn vibe, yet is different. really good stuff. and i like the fact that is no too preachy about all his beliefs. The autobiographical path he choose fits that album really well. And besides somehow cheesy lyrics and some cheesy vocal parts , the music stands out and wipes all the flaws out.
Some of my favorites include Save Me from myself, Adonai ,Washed By Blood.
I really think head proven what a massive song0writting force he is.
What's your opinion on his work?
My band :)

Re: HEAD
Driven Music Group is looking to sue the piss out of Head, but while Head is under bankruptcy protection, they legally can't touch him. So, you just wait...until his Head is above the water, I wouldn't count on him to tell the truth.
Site Administrator for Kornspace.com
Yet he is not releasing the new EP with Driven. So I guess he's not so worried about getting sued by them.
The point with Driven was that they wanted to keep him there and promised him money to record songs over and over again. But there never was any money. He might still be in legal battles, but he's not as worried about it as he was before (when he got to the point where he couldn't even do shows anymore).
Re: HEAD
Driven was started by Head and his lawyer-friend Greg Shanaberger and the both of them didn't know what they were doing in terms of running a record label. The relationship turned sour because of this failed 'venture' and now they're suing each other for each other's failure.

Re: HEAD
You can listen to the full version of "Paralyzed" on Heads facebook page.
As for his split with DMG, none of us know what is actually going on in Heads legal life, and what has/nt been resolved. If you have a source with credibility, actually post it.
I havent read anywhere on the ,always reliable internet, about Shanaberger suing Head.
-People can say whatever they want about Heads legal and financial situation on the internet, but a lot of these peoples claims lack validity. If Head says something, Ill take his word over the opinionated bs on the internet.
Re: HEAD
I find it amusing how Korn's second single is rumored to premiere on the same day as "Paralyzed".
Is this my overture,
or obituary?
Re: HEAD
ok...paralyzed is incredible. i never heard something as awesome since talitm. this is 10 times way more Korn than korn itself these days. if he can manage to release a whole album as good as this he will be korn from now on.
My band :)
Re: HEAD
LOL, why do people keep saying that? Head's solo material sounds nothing like Korn. "Paralyzed" is generic, and with a few exceptions like "For No One", it doesn't come close to anything Korn has released since 2005. I don't hear how it's "more Korn than Korn itself". It sounds more like Adema, or the producer's former band, Red.

Re: HEAD
"It's the same, but now I'm singing about stuff I went through," he said. "I don't just want to play the guitar for Jonathan Davis in Korn who's singing about what he went through, because I've gone through a lot. I sing about my pain now and what I need. It just feels right, right now."
so dont have ur hopes up that he will ever come back...being JUST a guitarist isnt enough for him anymore...
And why KoRn don't do a group with two singers, two messages in a song... It could be amazing, and trully a new experimentation.... I think it could be great... Jon and Head could write lyrics together... No ?
"Living a life that seems to be... A lost reality..."
"...Kentucky fried kung-pao clits..."
"...I can't always say it's gonna be better tomorrow..."
"...Fuck you I'm fed up with you. I'm not as good as y
Re: HEAD
Interesting notion. But then again, the idea of Jews and Arabs getting along is an interesting notion as well.
Re: HEAD
Hi ADandelion,
Too funny! Sad, though.

And that is your opinion sir.....
I dont hear Adema in Heads work, nor do I find it generic. Imo his vocal style and guitar work is distinctive enough to separate him from other mainstream rock bands. I mean, what do you want the guy to do, create a new music genre, maybe put out a dubstep collab album? But w/e, you can think w/e you like about it.
And seeing as Korn is doing a dubstep collab album, I can understand why some people would say Head sounds more like older Korn than Korn currently does. Sure, "Get Up" has JDs voice, but thats about it for similarities between "Get Up" and any other past Korn song.
"you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people."
"those who stand firm till the end will be saved"
Re: HEAD
Head tweeted this today
"Lots of trash talk bout how messed up my business life is.People think I'm done & trapped.DON'T EVER COUNT ME OUT! Good news coming soon"
Hoping the "good news coming soon" is a new album announcement.
EDIT- Another Tweet today from Head (8/16)
"Seasons are changing, great news is coming, we are ready for the next adventure!"
The good news has to be a new album right?? one can hope
"I tried peace, I tried love, I tried kind, I give up You don't hear, you don't feel, Now I'm here, and I'm real I gave you my blessings, You've failed from testings, I'll show you what death brings, Now feel how my wrath stings"
I talked to Head a few days after that. He said it was the new single coming out. New EP will be out next spring.
Re: HEAD
I love his project... and Save me from y self was awesome!
From what I hear from his new single Paralyzed his new EP is going to Rock!
And I loved that the guys from KoRn hanged together again... :D
made me very happy when i saw the pic with Head and JD :)
RE: Re: HEAD
I did like it wery much, but still not as much as KoRn all together.
KoRn without Fieldy wouldn't be so amazing :3 I love when he is playing the bass, it sounds great and it looks gorgeous!
And I loved that the guys from KoRn hanged together again... :D
made me very happy when i saw the pic with Head and JD :)
Can you show me this photo? I would be so grateful if you do! ;)
Making fairytale become true!

Spin Doctor Mechanic Profiles – Dee Saunders
March 4, 2010 Leave a comment
Not that we're at all bored with our normal Employee Profiles, but we've decided to add a new twist. Starting today, we're going to begin integrating interviews with our certified Spin Doctor mechanics into our normal routine. Without further delay, allow us to introduce Dee Saunders, a Certified Spin Doctor bicycle mechanic from our new Downtown Portland location:
- How long have you been a mechanic and how did you get started? …Since I took apart my first Schwinn. I have been taking things apart for as long as I can remember. Fortunately, over the years, I got a lot better at putting things back together. I can attribute my aptitude for working with my hands to my father who allowed me to tag along, and as I grew older, take the reins.
- How long have you worked for Performance? I have been at Performance for about 3 years! I work with the best team and have some of the best customers around!
- Where are you from? I grew up in Los Angeles, but my love and adoration for two wheeled transportation and recreation came to me when I lived in Santa Barbara for 11 years. My move to the greatest cycling city in America: Portland, Oregon, was inevitable.
- What's your nickname? hmmmm
- What was your toughest and ultimately most gratifying repair? Creak investigations are sooooooo gratifying. I have had some of the toughest creak mysteries to solve. I have ridden alongside customers as well as spent endless time test-riding bikes up hills, over cobble, and in quiet parking garages. However I get through the process of elimination, it is quite satisfying to crack the case whether it's the frame, stem, freehub, seat post, pedal, bottom bracket or a chainring bolt…..I love being able to hand back a quiet bike to an appreciative rider!
- What's your favorite type of riding? That's tough! I get great enjoyment from rolling out of bed in the morning and jumping on my bike to ride to work. Once I arrive at work, I feel more alive no matter what the weather is dishing out here in Portland. On the other hand, a day riding through the trees and being outdoors no matter what the terrain or how many times I underestimated a switchback or get stuck on an obstacle riding up a long climb—there is no other joy and excitement like it! If I became miraculously rich one day, I would just ride….everywhere!
- What do you do when you're not working on bikes? I work on bikes! I weld steel frames on the side, so while I am not wrenching, I am measuring, mitering, filing, and welding. When I am not riding, wrenching, or welding?? I am a very avid runner, hiker, and camper. Otherwise, I sleep! I am very good at burning the candle at both ends, so I recognize that sleeping is a great way to recharge so I can keep going, going, going!
- What's your favorite tool? Why? Hmmm, why are these so tough?? Well, I keep a set of Bondhus allens and a Husky #2 phillips hidden in my apron because I love a good, sharp, properly used tool….you will never find those on my peg board! Other than that, I have a secret relationship with my taps, easy-outs, dies, and my frame prep tools….so gratifying to work with!
- What's your funniest bike-related experience? SO many to choose from…..one night I was watching a bicycle related parade. A minute after the parade had passed me by, a huge group of naked cyclists emerged attempting to piggy back onto the parade. In that group was one of my regular customers, riding the bike I usually wrench on…….that was funny! Beware: Every saddle has a story :-)
- Preferred music while wrenching? I am kind of a nerd, I really like NPR. But so as not to drive my workers insane, I will give in to the classic rock stations. Otherwise, I plug in my iPod full of non-top-40 rap and indie music
- Have you participated in any bike races, charity rides or events? What did you do at the event (race/ride or man a support station, etc.)? I am not a racer. I love to ride! I have done scores of 50-100-150-300 mile charity rides and fun rides. I love waking up in the morning and saying, "All I have to do today is ride!" What a great day! As far as wrenching, I have supported a dozen or so charity rides as a roadside mechanic. That is the second best thing to say to myself in the morning, "All I have to do today is to spend the day wrenching outside!" Matter of fact that is one thing that Performance did more of as company. Maybe one day, we will have a mobile mechanic team that travels to all the biggest races or charity rides…..sign me up!! Please!
- What's your one indispensable bike tip? I know it's elementary, but honestly, "A clean bike is a happy bike!" From the chain to the rim walls to the bearing surfaces……clean and lubricated bikes are very happy…..trust me, they told me so :-)
