Aliens Made Me Do It —
BBC reports
that the staff of the Northumbria Safety Camera Partnership have come up with the 10 stupidest excuses drivers have come up with to explain why they were speeding. Number one is: "I passed out after seeing UFOs." Not only stupid, but illogical (unless you passed out and somehow jammed your foot on the accelerator). A few of the other excuses are: A jet over-head, not me, triggered the camera I had a severe bout of diarrhoea A gust of wind pushed me over the limit I…

A Visit from the Secret Service —
A couple of stories about writers receiving visits from the Secret Service have been getting a lot of attention in the blogosphere, and a lot of people have been wondering if they're real or fake.
The first case
involves fanfic writer Annie Sewell-Jennings who posted an entry on her blog in which she satirically prayed that Bush would die. A couple of weeks later, according to her,
"the Secret Service showed up on my mother's front door to talk to me about what I said about the…

Man Tries to Kill Wife to 'Save Marriage' —
If there was an award for stupid excuses, this guy would get one. William Dahlby threw a live electrical wire into his wife's bath, and when she tried to jump out, he pushed her back in. But he says that he's innocent of trying to kill her because he only did it to
"save the marriage."
He was hoping the near-death experience would jump-start their flagging relationship, so to speak. Apparently William didn't realize that the old saying about the quickest way to a woman's heart being…

Yup. For the right price, women in fishnet stockings will show up unannounced at your door, whisk you away, and keep you bound and gagged in their basement for a few days. As weird as this sounds, I actually think it's real, mainly because I've heard of this before. Back in 2002 a guy called

Fake Maoists —
Fake Maoists are running amok
in Nepal, robbing people and extorting money from shopkeepers and businessmen. What's next? Fake Marxists holding up banks? Phony Socialists looting liquor stores? Meanwhile, the Real Maoists are fighting back against the Fake Maoists who, so they claim, are trying to ruin their reputation. For some reason this reminds me of the
fake eunuchs
at large in India.

Game Show Sting —
If you're a wanted criminal you may want to think twice about showing up to appear on a TV game show. British police created a fake game show,
Great Big Giveaway Show
, to which they invited twenty people on their wanted list. Seventeen of them were arrested. I guess no one can resist a chance to be on TV. (Thanks to Andrew Nixon for the link)

False Alert —
Normally I ignore things like bomb hoaxes, but this one was too good to pass up. Security officials at Mackay Airport went on high alert and evacuated the terminal when a
"rubbish bin started humming furiously."
Upon inspection, they discovered a
vibrating sex toy
"emitting a lively buzzing sound"
inside the trash can. A sheepish 26-year-old man stepped forward and admitted the device was his. He had thrown it away before boarding because he didn't want to go through security with it.…

Fake Washing Suds —
Consumers in England have been alerted to
be on the lookout for fake washing suds
. Rogue boxes of 'Bold 2in1' are masquerading as the real thing. A government official is quoted as saying:
"Consumers are aware of counterfeit DVDs and computer games but fake washing powder is unusual and goes to show the length that counterfeiters will go to deceive the public."
I certainly wasn't aware of this problem. I think I could use washing powder for years without ever noticing that it was fake,…

Nude Photos Required to Enter Canada —
Toronto Sun
that exotic dancers applying for a visa to enter Canada are now expected to submit photos of themselves performing in the nude... to prove that they really are exotic dancers. Immigration lawyer Mendel Green claims that the rules are quite specific:
"They can't be partially nude. If they don't have pictures in the nude, they are not going to wiggle their bottoms in Canada."
This sounds very weird. Could the
Toronto Sun
be the victim of a joke? Are they pulling…

Citizens for a Murder-Free America —
This is an old site, but I hadn't seen it before. It pretends to be the homepage of a lobbying group called
'Citizens for a Murder-Free America'
who are campaigning for passage of 'Precrime' legislation that will help stop murders before they happen. In reality, the site is part of the publicity campaign for Steven Spielberg's movie

, which was about a future society where the police use psychics to see into the future and tell them about murders before they happen (based…

Fake Cop with Guard Sheep —
I've heard of plenty of cases of people pretending to be cops,
but this one takes the cake
. It's the line about how "the bogus policeman used to patrol at night in company of a sheep that looks like a dog" that really boggles my mind. I'm trying to visualize a sheep that could pass for a dog, but my imagination just isn't good enough.

Fake Road Rage Takes Turn for the Worse —
If you break down by the side of the road, what should you do? Use your cellphone to call for help, of course. Or, if you're a complete idiot, you can pretend that you and your buddy are fighting so that concerned motorists will call the police for you. A group of budding geniuses in Massachusetts
chose option B
, and soon ended up in jail after a policeman showed up and ordered them to the ground at gunpoint.

Fake Abductions More Common Than Most People Realize —
The abduction of Audrey Seiler, and subsequent revelation that she had faked the abduction herself, has been generating a

Restaurant Strip-Search Hoax —
According to the Wall Street Journal
a strange prank is becoming a real problem for restaurants throughout America. A phone prankster calls up a restaurant, pretending to a police officer, and asks the manager of the restaurant to strip search the store's employees. The reason given is usually that the police are searching for stolen money or drugs. And time after time the store managers comply with the request. I've seen cases of this prank reported in the news before, and I assumed…

Push Button for Walk Signal —
I've long suspected that those buttons on corners that you're supposed to push to get a walk signal are a bizarre hoax. Just a facade created by city governments to let us pedestrians feel like we possess some small measure of control. Now
this article
(NY Times, reg. req.) largely confirms my suspicion. The article only discusses New York City, but I think the situation is the same throughout most of the country.

So, how much is it going to cost me to get my medical records?
The cost of obtaining medical records differs from state to state. In Colorado, where my practice is located, doctors' offices are supposed to charge no more than the "reasonable cost" of providing the records.
In 2015, the colorado legislature changed the law and removed the provision about putting caps on what the "reasonable cost" of records should be. I have written about this here.
This means YOU are going to be asked to get more of your medical records.
With the cap taken off maximum record charges, the expenses in Social Security disability cases are going to be going up. And since the fees attorney can charged are fixed by Social Security, costs are rising but the fees are staying the same.
Well, boo-hoo for the lawyers! /eye-roll.
Yeah, I get it and I don't expect sympathy. However, when costs go up, how business is done changes. Lawyers have often bankrolled cases and hoped they could win and then, finally, recover those costs. Now, to you, dear client, that has meant a zero interest loan, and possibly no need to pay it back if you didn't win.
You are not going to see a lot of than anymore. Not only are costs up. But, Social Security is approving much fewer cases. This tips the scales to toward even more belt tightening in law offices.
The upshot for you is that you will be asked to get your own records and foot the bill if your doctor wants to charge.
If there is a silver lining to this dark cloud, it is that your doctors' offices are less likely to charge you than if they get a medical records request on legal stationary. So, you may have to do more footwork – and I know that for many of you that will not be easy – but at least you are keeping your overall costs down.

A doctor who fought to save the latest teenage victim of London knife crime today pleaded for an end to the killing, saying: "Enough is enough."
Tom Konig performed open-heart surgery on student Shaquan Sammy-Plummer in the back of an ambulance after he was stabbed in the chest during a fight at a house party in Enfield. He had the task of telling the 17-year-old's mother that her son had died.
Shaquan was the fourth teenager killed in London this year. Today, in a message to attackers, Mr Konig pleaded: "Enough is enough. It is time to put your knives down."
The trauma surgeon was part of London's Air Ambulance fast-response team that intercepted the ambulance as it rushed Shaquan to hospital on Friday night.
In an extraordinary insight into the efforts made to keep such stabbing victims alive, Mr Konig told how they cut through his rib cage and massaged his heart after he went into cardiac arrest.
"We held the heart of a young boy in our hands... and willed it to beat and to survive. We continued to hospital but our efforts, and the efforts of the hospital team could not save this young man.
"Another victim of the awful epidemic of senseless knife crime that is causing the death and disability of too many young men."
Today friends paid tribute to the "smart, ambitious" boy from Finsbury Park who was a pupil at LaSWAP Sixth Form College in Camden and had a part-time job at Waitrose.
Mr Konig said he had been motivated to speak out after having to break the news to Shaquan's mother with "brutal honesty".
Recalling the scene at the Royal London Hospital, he said: "If only we could have brought him back, we tried, oh how we tried." He told the Standard today: "It was me breaking the bad news to a mother who had no idea. Here is her young son going out to work at Waitrose on a Friday night and he is gone. His life is over. It's the utter futility of it."
According to City Hall statistics, the number of knife assaults causing injury increased six per cent between 2013 and 2014, from 3,208 to 3,405.
In a separate incident, a 24-year-old man died after being shot at a party in Thamesmead. Clive Massi, 24, was a student engineer whose family fled Congo's civil war a decade ago.
Enough is enough, put your knives down, says surgeon sickened by senseless deaths
"LAST night, a team consisting of myself and two London air ambulance service paramedics was one of two duty teams providing advanced trauma care to the people of London.
After we had finished handing over one patient to the team at St Mary's hospital we were alerted to another job. The information we were given was of an adult male, stabbed to the chest. The London Ambulance Service teams, already with the patient, needed our help. We donned our protective stab vests and plotted a route to the scene.
It soon became apparent that the patient was very sick and they wanted to move to hospital. Our paramedic in ambulance control co-ordinated both teams so that we met seamlessly. We had made a plan of what we would do if we were faced with the worst scenario, namely a patient in cardiac arrest with a stab wound to the chest.
What we found was the all too familiar scenario of a young boy with a single stab wound to the chest, who was in cardiac arrest. Our teaching is to make a very quick assessment and then proceed to attempt to repair the damage that has been done.
We performed a resuscitative thoracotomy — immediately opening the chest to gain access to the heart and lungs to simultaneously diagnose the injury and treat it. In this instance the sac around the heart was tense and filled with the blood that had leaked from the stabbed heart deep within it. The heart struggled to beat again and as it did it bled from its wounds and a significant wound from the aorta, the main artery that leaves it to take blood to the rest of the body.
The wounds were sutured, warmed blood was transfused directly into the heart and adrenaline infused to stimulate it to beat again. We held the heart of a young boy in our hands and willed it to beat and to survive.
We continued to hospital but our efforts and the efforts of the hospital team could not save this young man. Another victim of the awful epidemic of senseless knife crime that is causing the death and disability of too many young men with the whole of their lives ahead of them.
Not long after, I was notified of the arrival of the victim's mother in the emergency department. Someone would need to tell her that her young son was dead. How best to break this awful news? Do we talk about the injuries sustained, our efforts to treat them, how we hoped that we had been successful, our optimism?
No, this occasion called for brutal honesty. "I'm sorry but I have awful news. Your son is dead, he was stabbed in the chest and died. We tried our very best, we really did, we operated, we gave him blood, we held his heart in our hands and willed it to beat on its own, but it was badly damaged and he had bled terribly. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
She heard little of what followed after I told her he was dead. If only we could have brought him back, we tried, oh how we tried.
Another teenager killed by the hand of another on the streets of London. Another life lost, another family torn apart, another perpetrator set to spend time imprisoned to dwell on their crimes.
No one wins, everyone loses. Many have been blamed for what some believe is an epidemic — the broken families, the schools, the politicians and police — but ultimate responsibility lies with the hand holding the knife.
The person who decides to carry a weapon that they are sadly all too ready to use to resolve a dispute. Enough is enough. It is time to put your knives down. Find another way to argue and to fight, now, before it's too late."Reuse content

Riyadh,May 30: Islamic state (ISIS) militants have threatened to carry out more attacks against Shiite mosques in Saudi Arabia, media reported on Saturday.
ISIS has claimed responsibility for two mosque attacks that left around 30 people dead in Saudi Arabia.
At least four people were killed on May 29 after a car exploded outside a Shia mosque in Saudi Arabia. According to media reports, a car exploded outside the Shia mosque in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, during Friday prayer.
The incident cames one week after a suicide bomber detonated himself at another Shiite mosque in Saudi Arabia on May 22 that claimed lives of over 20 people and left injured scores during the Friday prayers.

ISIS "has ordered its soldiers everywhere to kill the enemies of religion, especially the Shiites," a spokesman for the group is heard as saying in the audio message.

Brooklyn Rapper, FORE, Releases New Single 'Hometown' [Audio]
Brooklyn-based rapper, Fore has just dropped the first single, "Hometown," off his upcoming LP, "The Stranger." The track rises and falls with swelling horns and distant synths as Fore evocatively describes the struggles of being an immigrant in New York. He discusses the many ways in which the city life can build you up as it breaks you down – about how relationships develop over time. The hook, "Little do they know" is about the duality of this experience; to those from wherever you originate, you're viewed as a hero for making it to America, while to Americans, you're mostly invisible, viewed as little more than just another face in the crowd.

translated by Brett Larner
With a record of achievement at Aoyama Gakuin University and Team Chugoku Denryoku that made him Nagasaki's star long distance runner, Takehiro Deki, 25, announced on Mar. 8 that last month's Tokyo Marathon was his final race and that he is retiring.
Deki started running during the winter of his first year at Hokuyodai H.S. and grew to become the star runner at Aoyama Gakuin, leading the team to new heights. His third year at AGU he won the 2012 Hakone Ekiden's most competitive stage, the 23.2 km Second Stage, following up just over a month later with a marathon debut at the Lake Biwa Mainichi Marathon where he ran 2:10:02, the third-best ever by a Japanese university runner. Aiming for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics at the Tokyo Marathon last month he finished 26th.
Deki commented, "After entering the corporate leagues I gave my absolute best every single day, but I found that the Olympics just didn't mean that much to me. The Hakone Ekiden meant the most. That's what I came to feel. I want to sincerely thank everybody, especially the people of Nagasaki, who supported me. I'm truly grateful. I have no regrets."
Translator's note: Sad news. Four days before his marathon debut in 2012 JRN interviewed Deki and AGU head coach Susumu Hara. Read the interview here. Deki gets a great deal of credit from fans and fellow runners alike for being the key catalyst in helping Hara transform AGU from nothing to the best in the country. The other runner who helped Deki lead AGU to the top, Ryotaro Otani, 25, was fired from the Toyota Boshoku corporate team last month after asking about the possibility of relocating his training base to Tokyo. Today Otani tweeted about Deki's retirement. His comments:
I never thought Deki and I'd be leaving the sport at the same time, no way. It seems like these days the public is going crazy over the Aoyama Gakuin University team's two-straight Hakone Ekiden wins. I really respect how hard the guys who have come after us have worked, and what they've done is really, truly incredible. It's definitely the result of everything they put into it.
This is kind of talking about old times, but when Deki and I decided to enroll in AGU it was a team that wasn't at a level where it could make the Hakone Ekiden. We said to each other, "Let's try to win the Hakone Ekiden together!" Saying that when we were just a couple of cheeky first-years gave us the drive to work hard for four years. We couldn't pull off the Hakone Ekiden win, and we ended up unloading that on the younger guys.
But even so, what Deki accomplished was amazing. His junior year he won the Second Stage at the National University Ekiden Championships, won the Second Stage at the Hakone Ekiden, and ran the all-time university #3 2:10:02 at the Lake Biwa Marathon. He really was the best runner on the university scene. We were all just talentless baggage riding on his back, and he carried us all in a truly amazing way.
I wanted to become a runner like Deki. A colleague, a close friend, a rival, what I dreamed of becoming. It really was my dream.

Structural Wiki - Wiki Entirely Devoted to Civil/Structural Engineering[edit]
Hi, I am webmaster of BridgeArt.net, which is a civil/structural engineering portal with Structural Wiki. I recently launched a questionnaire whether there would be interest to set up wiki specifically for civil engineers. It would permit more types of content when compared to Wikipedia whose content is strictly encyclopedic: such as design examples, standard details, possibly latest research coordination, galery of inspection photos, etc. If you have some content that you would like to share, but is not appropriate for Wikipedia, you are welcome to join Structural Wiki!
I am already getting some interesting feedback, but I plan to deliver the questionnaire to many more people from different corners of the profession (students, construction people, designers, academia, researchers, research, ...) - it will be interesting to see opinion of each of these groups on wiki. -- Andrewok 05:11, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- Given the rather thin coverage of civil engineering topics here, compared to the coverage of computer topics, politics, and various fan-cruft, I don't know that there's much interest in the civil engineering community in contributing to such a thing.
- A few issues may deter engineers from contributing to Wikipedia, another wiki, or your wiki in general:
- The licensing requirement may be a deterrent; you should look into whether you really want everything to be GFDL instead of some other license, and whether that would make a difference.
- Engineers seem to be more prone to contributing to existing, established organizations, like ASCE or NSPE.
- The chaotic nature of Wikipedia, especially when anonymous contributions are allowed. Look at the Citizendium Statement of Principles for a possible alternative to the open free-for-all model which Wikipedia follows.
- Don't call it "Structural Wiki" if you want civil engineers who practice in specialties other than structural engineering to feel good about contributing. I'm a Geotechnical Engineer. Why should I contribute to a "Structural" wiki?
- Argyriou (talk) 21:32, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- Argyriou hit it right on the button with that last comment: I'm primarily transportation other than a few dabblings in other disciplines. Perhaps it is just a local thing, but there tends to be a bit of animosity between the transport and structural folks :P --Thisisbossi 23:08, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- Argyriou, I definitely agree with you that the civil engineering community has lower interest in wiki than may be the case for some other topics. While ASCE and NSPE are established organizations, I imagine that wiki-sort of site could provide more streamlined access to the resources they offer. Plus there are many other professional organization (ACI, AISC, IAI, PCI, AASHTO, NHI, fip, ...) whose resources could be referenced from a single wiki site. Finally, the goal of Structural Wiki is to be small niche wiki, focused primarily on structural engineering, that's why I would like to stick with the name Structural Wiki. It would still contain some inter-discipline topics, such as determination of pile lateral capacity (geotechnical) or determination of roadway profiles (transportation), etc. that are closely related to structural engineering. I think that this niche orientation (similarly we could have geotechnical wiki and transportation wiki) would enable to maintain the wiki more manageable - you can check Wikitravel to see what I mean. -- Andrewok 01:30, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Largest CE Program[edit]
I reverted the edit by 220.127.116.11 as we now have two universities both claiming to have the largest program: Texas A&M and also Cal Poly Pomona. I reverted to Texas A&M for the following reasons:
- It was the original post for a disputed entry.
- While it has a smaller undergrad population, it has more faculty.
- Cal Poly Pomona offers only MS degrees as a graduate program. Texas offers additional degrees and is a HUGE destination for graduate students. I am quite sure Texas has Cal Poly Pomona beat on this, but Cal Poly Pomona fails to produce any evidence (that I could find) indicating the graduate student population.
The burden is therefore upon an individual to locate the graduate student population, at which point it may be up to debate as to which is truly largest; or perhaps we should include both. As an engineer and also a student, I'd definitely say Texas is at least the more prominent, by a large margin (I never even heard of Poly Pomona until now). --Thisisbossi 01:49, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- Inclusion of both schools might be the safe course for now; these numbers are not static. A third-party source would also be most appropriate for a citation on any one school "claiming" the title. ZueJay (talk) 05:54, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- Works for me until a reputable NPOV source can be found. --Thisisbossi 08:37, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
That is a fair compromise. We should probably list both universities, since it is too close to call (at the undergraduate level). In my original post, I stated that Texas A&M had 1,081 undergraduate CE students. That was in the 2005-2006 school year. That number has since risen to 1,099 CE undergraduates (2006-2007 school year). Texas A&M also has 133 and 176 masters degree and Ph.D. candidates, respectively, bringing the grand total to 1,408 CE students. There are 67 faculty members (58 tenured or on the tenure track). The TAMU statistical data is available at www.civil.tamu/downloads/About Us/CivilFactSheet.pdf -- User:Caracaskid08:22, 23 April 2007
Environmental Eng.[edit]
Environmental Engineering is an other branch of Engineering, not a sub-title of Civil Engineering therefore should be excluded in the list of CE sub-titles. SEY01 09:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- There are alternate sides to this, none of which is correct; or both of which are correct. My civil engineering background includes environmental engineering and is treated as another discipline. What exactly falls under the umbrella of "civil" can always be debated, particularly as most engineering professions were at one time considered "civil". --Bossi (talk ;; contribs) 12:31, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- For instance, my background does not include. Env.Eng. is still a separate dept. in the Faculty of Eng. in my university, that's why I wanted to add that previous comment.
SEY01 12:45, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
There has been discussion on the sub-disciplines of CE before, but I don't think we have ever really hammered out a final version based on reliable sources. I found two websites which listed CE disciplines and they both seem to be similar: University of Florida ASCE. -- Basar (talk · contribs) 06:30, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- Paul Fisher just removed Urban planning from the list of subdisciplines in the introduction via this edit. Transportation engineers are very involved with urban planning, just as non-engineers and architects trained in urban planning are becoming increasingly familiar with aspects of civil engineering. I am aware of several universities which have shared courses and faculty between the departments, including UC Berkeley, UCLA, and the University of Maryland. Land use is based on transportation and transportation is based on land use. Any further thoughts? --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 17:27, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with you that there are many overlaps between civil (transport) engineering and urban planning, but I feel they are distinct disciplines. Certainly here in Australia, they are distinct and one is not regarded as a sub-set of the other. (I'm a civil / transport engineer by the way). Paul Fisher (talk) 08:52, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

There are way to many disciplines here. NCEES for professional licensure only recognises 5; Construction, Geotechnical, Structural, Transportation, (Water Resources & Environmental). im sure that it wouldnt be that big of a deal to put subdiciplines in, but when i get a chance, im going to redo that whole section... clearly 'earthquake engineering' is a part of structural, and so on, and so forth... in fact, the heading should be 'disciplines' Wvfd14 (talk) 13:25, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
I think this is a difficult thing to define as Civil Engineering is such a wide ranging subject. Perhaps a good basis for these subset would be the topics covered by journals of Civil Engineering Institutions, for example here is a list from the UK ICE or Institution of Civil Engineers the professional body representing Civil Engineers. Steve 14:41, 3 November 2008 (GMT) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk)
I just added the Municipal engineering sub-discipline. I am an engineer in the municipal infrastructures department of a large engineering firm in Montreal. We also have a seperate and distinct transport engineering department. Transport engineers tend to work on high-speed or high traffic dedicated networks such as highways and railways, whereas municipal engineer tend to work simultaneousily on multiple networks (roads, water supply, sewers, etc) that need to be coordinated.
It's normal that civil engineering will have a large number of sub-disciplines, as civil engineering is kind of a residual category of engineering. Historically, all engineering was what we now call military engineering. In the late 18th century, civil engineering emerged as millitary engineering applied to civilian needs. By the late 19th century, with the development of new highly specialised fields, mechanical, chemical, electrical, and other fields eventually became distinct from civil engineering. Civil engineering is whatever was left over.
I personnaly expect that structural engineering will eventually be considered a field distinct from civil engineering, and civil engineering will deal mainly with road and infrastructure networks, earthworks and major land improvements. Already when I work on a major building or industrial project, the structural engineers who design the building or other structures clearly do a distinct job from the civil engineers who design the service connections, access roads and parking. Although contractually the civil and structural design are combined as a single specialty, the plans and specifications will tend to distinguish between "Civil" and "Structural" disciplines. When I design the civil works for a major building or facility, I find myself coordinating mainly with the architect and mechanical engineer, as well as the city, and rarely with the structural engineer. AlexPlante (talk) 14:02, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Surely Earth Sciences, Geophysics, and Atmospheric Sciences are not branches of Civil Engineering at all, as for the most part they are 'pure' rather than 'applied' sciences. (I don't mean to imply that one of these is better than the other, just to make a familiar distinction.) Civil Engineers may well make use of research findings from e.g. Geology, but that does not make Geology a branch of Civil Engineering. Civil Engineers also use findings from Physics and Chemistry, so why not go the whole hog and include these in Civil Engineering?18.104.22.168 (talk) 14:09, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
How on earth is "Control Engineering" a subfield of "Civil Engineering"?SanQae (talk) 04:39, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
I am having a hard time finding sources for writing this article. I'm just putting this up here in case someone else has some good sources. The only ones I have found are quoted in the article, and they aren't very good. -- Basar (talk · contribs) 03:45, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Scope of licensing[edit]
Right now there is a lot of specific information on licensing requirements for the US. I think it might be appropriate to pare this down to generalities since we are supposed to have a worldwide view on Wikipedia. We could create a separate article like "professional engineer licensing in the United States" or something. What do you think? -- Basar (talk · contribs) 01:52, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
I have now removed some of the country-specific information to here. -- Basar (talk · contribs) 05:07, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
In the [[United States]], one must become a licensed [[Professional Engineer]] to do any civil engineering work affecting the public or to legally represent oneself as a civil engineer. Licensure requirements vary slightly by state, but in all cases entail passing two licensure exams, the [[Fundamentals of Engineering exam]] (also know as the Engineer in Training or EIT exam) and the Principles and Practice exam (commonly called the PE), and completing a state-mandated number of years of work under the supervision of a licensed Professional Engineer. In addition, an educational requirement must often be met. All states accept a four year [[Bachelor of Science]] (BS) or [[Bachelor of Engineering]] (BEng) degree in Civil Engineering, from an [http://www.abet.org ABET]-accredited program, for their educational requirement. The acceptability of degrees in other fields varies by state; some states allow a person to substitute additional years of supervised work experience for the degree requirement. Although the [[American Society of Civil Engineers]] encourages states to raise the educational requirement to a graduate degree, advanced degrees are currently optional for civil engineers in the United States. Graduate study may lead either to a [[Master of Engineering]], which is a [[Professional Master's degree]], or to a [[Master of Science]] degree, sometimes followed by a [[PhD]] in civil engineering or a sub-discipline. In the [[United States of America|United States]], [[California State Polytechnic University, Pomona|Cal Poly Pomona]] in [[Pomona, California|Pomona]], [[California]] and [[Texas A&M University]] in [[College Station, Texas|College Station]], [[Texas]] have the largest civil engineering departments with approximately 1,100 students.<ref>[http://www.csupomona.edu/~ce/Prospective/Index.html Prospective BSCE Students]. Accessed [[2 March]] [[2007]].</ref><ref>[http://www.civil.tamu.edu/about.html Number of undergraduate students enrolled in Texas A&M's civil engineering department]. Accessed [[10 February]] [[2007]].</ref> In the [[United Kingdom]] current graduates require a MSc, MEng or BEng (Hons) in order to become chartered through the [[Institution of Civil Engineers]]. The Institution also allows entrants with substantial experience to apply without this level of formal academic achievement. In practice, most civil engineers in the United Kingdom work without chartered status. Unlike in many other European countries, the term 'Engineer' is not legally protected within the United Kingdom. In [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]], requirements are typically a four year [[Bachelor of Engineering]] (BE or BEng) degree, equivalent to the British MEng,{{Fact|date=February 2007}} and approximately three years experience.
Photo for structural engineering[edit]
I argue that London Millennium Bridge is not the best representation of what structural engineering is. It is mainly a (not so successful) work designed by architects that cost massive amount of money both in construction and in retrofitting. I propose structures such as the Golden Gate Bridge, or CN Tower. Emancipator (talk) 19:06, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- You are wrong in thinking that the Millennium Bridge was mainly designed by an architect. Foster & Partners were involved in the design, but the lead designers were Arup, and specifically Chris Wise (now of Expedition Engineering). The structural design is very challenging because the bridge has very little height. The structural story of the bridge only becomes more interesting when you consider its problems. They were a previously little known structural phenomenon of biological positive feedback causing horizontal dynamic excitation of the bridge. This was researched extensively by Arup and others (http://www.morgenthal.org/MillenniumBridge/, and solved using tuned mass and viscous dampers under the leadership of structural engineer Tony Fitzpatrick. I included this photo precisely because it is so representative of structural engineering. However, there are many different highly notable structures out there, any of which could take the place of this photo - up to you...Tkn20 (talk) 19:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explaining your intention. While I totally agree with you that this bridge is a significant structure in its uniqueness, I was just thinking of a more "classic" structure. But I think the photo of the millennium bridge makes a lot of sense too. Emancipator (talk) 22:52, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
"Engineers are in high demand at banks, financial institutions and management consultancies because of their analytical skills." ? What is this all about? -- Ucla90024 (talk) 03:28, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- It's exactly as it says. Any engineering recruitment fair at a university will have banks and management consultancies there, and as an example, over 50% of the engineering graduates from Cambridge University go into banking and engineering consultancy, rather than engineering. Engineers are popular with these organisations because they know the mathematics necessary, and also are taught management and accounting skills. Tkn20 (talk) 10:29, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks to 220.127.116.11 for removing the statement on high demand in banks. Civil engineering is to do engineering work, not be bankers. Ucla90024 (talk) 05:23, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Difference between architecture[edit]
What is the difference between architecture and civil engineering? They both design buildings - more with engineering, though.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 02:38, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
- In layman's terms, architects make it aesthetically pleasing and civil engineers make it stand up. The best way to figure this out is to read the articles on Civil engineering and Architecture and compare the differences. ZueJay (talk) 13:15, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
While architects design buildings, civil engineers only design the structural elements of the buildings. They also design the municipal infrastructure around the buliding (service connections, access roads and parking lots). Not all structures are buildings. For non-building structures, such as bridges, an architect is usually not required, and the structure will be entirely designed by a civil engineer. Civil engineers also design works without concrete or steel structures, such as buried pipe networks, roads and earthworks such as roads, dikes and embankments. On a building project, the architect is the chief professional responsible for coordinating all the other professionals, whereas on non-building projects, the civil engineer is often the chief professionnal. AlexPlante (talk) 13:15, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Most other engineering occupations (see mechanical engineering) have a single article on the engineers and the engineering. Inwind (talk) 15:02, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
- sounds good. maybe you could narrow the diciplines down to Construction, Geotechnical, Structural, Transportation, Water Resources / Environmental, too. Wvfd14 (talk) 16:23, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
- disagree, the civil engineer topic is too large to be included in civil engineering. Take a look and see that we would have to move a lot of information into the civil engineering page to make it work. What I suggest is that the contents of the civil engineer page be changed. I will further this discussion on the civil engineer page. SteveMc (talk) 18:19, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose. I agree with SteveMc -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 14:17, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
Brahmagupta hagiography[edit]
First to use mathematics in construction? This claim is nonsensical Indian cultural aggrandizement with no basis in fact. The article itself repudiates it- the timelines do not match. Roman aquaducts, not to mention the Pyramids of Egypt documented within wikipedia to have used mathematics for construction predate Brahmagupta's own birth by 600 years or more. Thus evidently a load of crap. Please fix this hagiography. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 05:57, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
- Obviously a problem, since Wikipedia is a wiki, you can fix it yourself, and are encouraged to do so by the WP community. I fixed it, but go ahead and have at it. What's more, I encourage you to create a user name, login, and join the community. Thanks, SteveMc (talk) 20:12, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Education - time required to complete degree[edit]
Hi, i notice that in the education section of the article it states that it normally takes 4-5 years to achieve an engineering qualification. In the UK, a full-time student will expect to achieve and undergraduate degree (BEng or BSc) in 3 years (http://www.uel.ac.uk/cite/programmes/undergraduate/civileng-beng.htm). I understand that the qualification may take longer in other countries or under a different tertiary education system - if this is correct, should we change it from 4-5 years to 3-5 years? It may make the time required sound quite broad, but if it is accurate then surely it is the right thing to do. Best Darigan (talk) 14:10, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
While certainly worth mentioning here, I don't think Suveying should be included as a sub-discipline of Civil Engineering. Surveying is a technique and a science, Surveying is not engineering. Any thoughts? Mariokempes (talk) 19:26, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
I am a civil engineer, Personally i would say, surveying is taught as a major subject in civil engineering. For a good surveyor, knowledge of civil engineering is must. Moreover, engineering surveying is used for civil engineering projects and due to all the above reasons, surveying should be considered a sub discipline of civil engineering. Haseeb Jamal (talk) 09:16, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
- Haseeb, That is fine- and I agree with you; But, can it be considered a sub-discipline of Civil Engineering? I don't think so. Like the math used by engineers, Surveying is a separate and distinct discipline. (I'm an engineer too). Mariokempes (talk) 18:14, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
External links[edit]
Hi, A number of other professions have external links to sites relating to pursuing a career in the profession. I wanted to add a link to the relevant area of: www.myninetofive.com (MyNineToFive_Civil_Engineering ) which is one such site that consists of user generated reviews making it quite appropriate for a link from here. The link was removed from here (and some other professions) but I think that they make a valuable addition in helping people considering entering the profession continue their research in a similar way. --Natasha 18.104.22.168 (talk) 09:47, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
- Per WP:EL, external links should be "directly relevant to the article" and your site obviously isn't. Using your arguments above, every second article on Wikipedia would include a link to your site and dozen of other similar sites. --Fama Clamosa (talk) 10:53, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
Professional Registration process and preparation[edit]
I am currently the owner of a pe exam preparationsite and I receive a lot of questions regarding materials and courses that will help in becoming a professional civil engineer. I would like to see if anybody has any thoughts on the creation of such a sub topic in the wiki? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffbirm (talk • contribs) 19:35, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Subdiscplines listed in introductory paragraph[edit]
I have deleted numerous seperate professional and academic fields that are NOT subdiscplines of civil engineering. Atmospheric Sciences, Geophysics, Geodosy, Earth Science, Land Surveying are all seperate fields both in academy and in professional practice. Each of these has their seperate article. Some are sepearate licensed professions (EG a civil engineer is not a licensed geologist and vice versa). While civil engineers may apply some remote piece of these fields in their day to day work, these fields are often not in the professional expertise or scope of the average bachelor's degree educated civil engineer. In addition, there is a limit to what is a discpline of civil engineering and is not. It seems as though there is a movement toward continously expanding what a civil engineer's scope of practice is to the detriment of other fields. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 19:53, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks, sounds sensible to me. Graham87 09:38, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Justin Bour occupied a foreign spot atop an obscure leaderboard after the season's first eight games: the Marlins first baseman leads all of Major League Baseball in balls hit to the opposite field.
Historically, Bour has been one of the game's most pull-happy hitters. According to FanGraphs, only four National League players in the last two seasons sprayed the ball the opposite way less than Bour's 19.8 percent.
But this season, the left-handed-hitting Bour has sent 52.9 percent of batted balls to the left side. Five of his seven hits are to the left side, neutralizing the shift often employed against Bour.

Professional Products
I was wondering if anyone has any comments on Professional Products, Im looking at purchasing an intake from them.
Thanks in advance
I am a dealer for them and thusfar have had no problems. I'm not much for the polished intake look, but the products look presentable and seem to hold up. I would be interested in hearing on the long term durability though.

Hope is a curious thing. So much of this world is meaningless, absurd, and terrifying. But like the moon (even when it's just a sliver of light), a little bit of hope can fill up the entire sky. It is unassailable, no stranger to earthly misery, but out of its reach. It waits in painful conviction for that sliver of grey light to be replaced by the dazzling power of the dawning sun.

Volkl Mantra Ski - $549.00
The easy edge-to-edge feel of the Volkl Mantra Ski doesn't require a certain type of snow, terrain, or even an 1/4ber-extreme skier to wield it. An all-mountain ski in every way, the Mantra lays down controlled turns in the worst crud and hardpack between storms thanks to its vertical sidewalls and titanium reinforcement. Once the snow falls, its rockered tip and fat dimensions ensure flotation, happy little powder turns, and big-mountain slaying until the lifts close. - $549.00

Hi everyone, looking for a bit of help and advice please! I've made a couple of attempts at starting to run but have always had to give up due to leg pains. I get quite sharp pains in my shins and knees and in recent running attempts have also felt it in my ankles. Aside from the pain I've enjoyed running, and would really like to do more, but it really does hurt. I've tried varying between running on flat and on incline, on the treadmill and on road/grass, and I dont know what to do now! Has anyone else had the same problem and can maybe give me some tips? Thanks
How far do you run and how fast? if you are quite fit then you might just be doing too much too soon.
it might be worth a visit to a physio to get some help and advice. They can make a better assessment of what is going wrong and give you some exercises / stretches to do to help in the long term.
Often the point of pain is not where the problem lies. You may have achilles problems or hip flexor.
There are simple things that you can do to help, massage and foam roller after runs. Dynamic stretching before running and static stretching afterward. Core strength stability exercises and flexibilty exercises will all help.
Your symptoms are not normal so getting advice would be my first priority.
Just to back up widow's advice. I agree entirely. I might perhaps argue about the 'not normal' comment. It sounds a bit unusual (and may indeed not be normal), but it's possible that most of the problem is shin splints - which isn't unusual - but descriptions of symptoms on an internet forum aren't a patch on being checked over by someone who's qualified.
Shin splints are quite common. Often in people who feel fit enough to do more than they should. Investing 9 weeks in a "couch to 5K" programme might feel desperately conservative if you've got some general aerobic fitness... but it can be the solution... as it gives the leg tissues time to adapt over that period... rather than let an aerobically fit heart&lungs make those legs do more than they should.
It can even be as simple as the wrong trainers... and a trip to a specialist running shop could be advisable.
It's amost certain that there's a solution out there for you. Good luck.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles in today's marketplace. Make no mistake, you didn't buy your Omni unless you understood you would be getting great performance and great value both rolled up into one automobile. When your Dodge Omni was born, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who prioritizes versatility in their automobile. Your Dodge dealership isn't the only place to locate the best parts to repair your Omni.
Your engine's electrical parts are critical for regular daily operation. Your Dodge Omni alternator has a pulley that spins as the crankshaft spins because they are both connected by a drive belt. Inside that alternator, a constant supply of current for your car or truck is generated as a pair of metal claws and brushes spin around a coil; creating a powerful electromagnetic field. The energy from your alternator goes back to the battery and keeps it charged, while also supplying voltage to circuits that power your vehicle's lighting systems, HVAC system, and more on your Dodge Omni.
Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Buying new Dodge parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement Omni parts on the internet. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents available with enough expertise to help you select the correct Dodge Omni part for your needs. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Dodge Omni Alternator for your 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978 model.

Another major difference between the R46 and the Canon LEGRIA HF R406 is that this model comes with Canon's Wi-Fi features, which in record mode can be found under the menu category Remote Control Streaming. Canon was one of the first to add Wi-Fi features to its camcorders, and as a result the manufacturers who came later to the game have surpassed its original abilities. Fortunately, Canon has improved things since the first iteration. You can now operate the camera via an app for iOS and Android called CameraAccess, which is actually from the Pixela Corporation. This gives you the facility to control the camera zoom, and trigger record.
There is a second app called Movie Uploader, also from Pixela, which lets you browse the videos stored on your camcorder, and choose ones to upload to YouTube or Facebook via your mobile device. However, the R46 doesn't offer many facilities when connected to an existing WLAN.
If you're after a decent point-and-shoot camcorder and like the idea of the Wi-Fi features, the Canon LEGRIA HF R46 shoots good-looking video. However, it doesn't have the fully manual settings of Canon's higher-end models, and if the Wi-Fi functions don't appeal, the similarly specified Canon LEGRIA HF R406 is better value, and the JVC HD Everio GZ-EX515BEK or Samsung HMX-QF30 is better value still.
The Canon LEGRIA HF R46 has improved Wi-Fi functions compared to the previous generation, but its abilities are still not as comprehensive as some other manufacturers' wireless provisions. So this, and the 8GB of on-board memory, aren't quite enough to make up the difference between this and the cheaper R406 option.
The battery life is only one hour. On a trip this fact is not convenient. The large battery would be better. The second is not a pleasant fact to which I did not notice in the store, very dark LCD screen. On a sunny day it is hard to see what you filming at.
the Wifi does not work with Android 4.3 or higher. This is a fact. This renders the Wifi capability redundant. Which is why I returned it back to the shop and bought a Panasonic instead.
Massive fail by Canon.
Canon is totally misleading in advertising its WiFi capability. Android App CameraAccess doest not support only one model of one manufacturer. It doesn't work with normal Samsung or Asus devices. Developer of its Android App Pixela and Canon Customer services really suck when they are asked about android devices support. They treat you like a ping pong and every time you request Canon for support they simply tell you to contact Pixela and no help at all. I bought it for its Wifi ability and can't even return it. Bad Choice...

Voice Over Internet Protocol Phone (VoIP Phone)
Definition - What does Voice Over Internet Protocol Phone (VoIP Phone) mean?
A voice over Internet Protocol phone (VoIP phone) uses the VoIP technology to convert standard telephone audio into digital format so that it can be transmitted over the Internet. A VoIP phone can be a purpose-built hardware device, a softphone, or a regular telephone fitted with an adapter.
Techopedia explains Voice Over Internet Protocol Phone (VoIP Phone)
VoIP phones can be classified into three different types based on their use:
- Residential VoIP: uses the user's internet connection to make and receive calls. A personal computer is not required to make use of this technology.
- Business VoIP: similar to a residential VoIP plan but with some advanced features such as private branch exchange and conference calling.
- Small Business VoIP: offers a great service along with many advantages geared specifically toward the needs of a small enterprise business.

Discovering a stylish and nicely fitting outfit during a shopping excursion is principal. As we stated above, mixing and matching works extremely well when the inventory within your closet is correspondingly pleasing. But beware… you must pay careful attention to fit and body type enhancement, as some of your pieces may make their way to the back of your clothes quarters. A good deal of women have been through it before where they understand that clothes may look great on a hanger in the store, but in the end fail to meet your approval when you've actually tried them on. By heightening your awareness of your figure's dimensions and type and how these styles fit, a woman can avoid these shopping mishaps and grow your wardrobe into a fantastic design of endless choices.

"The Pear" is when your shape has a smaller area above your waist than below it. And "The Banana" is when you have the same basic thickness all over.
Every possible shape of the body has its own unique challenges, especially when looking for a flattering yet comfortable fit. Enter Suits and Separates… which is a great way to find an ideal wardrobe for just about every body figure.

Brighton 0-0 Forest
Nottingham Forest played-out an entertaining 0-0 draw with Brighton in front of a record crowd of 26,684 at the AMEX Stadium this afternoon.
The Reds made four changes for the trip with Guy Moussi, Chris Cohen, Daniel Ayala and Adlene Guedioura coming in for Lewis McGugan, Simon Gillett, Elliott Ward and Henri Lansbury.
The hosts enjoyed a bright start and after Cohen had conceded a corner four minutes in, David Lopez's delivery found Inigo Calderon unmarked, only for the Spaniard to head harmlessly over.
And Calderon went much closer three minutes later after he was teed-up by Craig Mackail-Smith. His left-footed effort from the edge of the area clipped the post.
And on 11 minutes it was Will Hoskins' turn to go close. He stretched to meet a cross from the left but put it wide under pressure from Danny Collins.
Andy Reid did his best to respond a minute later but his shot from the edge of the area flew way over Tomasz Kuszczak's crossbar.
And the hosts then went close twice in quick succession. First Bridge fired wide after good work by Will Buckley and then Hoskins somehow volleyed over from close range after a good knock-down by Mackail-Smith.
Forest were being restricted to speculative long-range efforts but the same couldn't be said for Brighton who went close yet again when Hoskins headed Andrew Crofts' cross over.
The Reds carved-out an opening moments later, however, when Sharp squared it for Reid in the box. The Irishman met it cleanly first time but couldn't quite keep it down.
On 32 minutes Mackail-Smith made strides into the box and flashed a low effort across Camp and just wide of the post.
And the keeper was called into action six minutes later when he tipped Calderon's effort over.
Just before the break, Mackail-Smith turned Daniel Ayala inside out before sending his shot wide from inside the area.
But for all the home side's pressure it was Forest who would go closest in the first half. Cohen latched on to a through ball from Reid down the left and crossed low for Sharp. The striker's deft flick looped up and over Kuszczak but rebounded off the bar.
Greg Halford replaced Dan Harding at half time and the full back made an immediate impact. His low cross from the byline was turned wide by Dexter Blackstock under the close attentions of Adam El-Abd.
The substitute was then booked for a foul on Buckley and the resultant free kick went all the way through to Hoskins but he could only scuff his volley wide.
Halford was then given his final warning after tripping his man out wide, before he clashed with Buckley off the ball. The coming-together provoked a furious reaction from the home support but in the end both players went unpunished.
Forest made their second change of the game on the hour mark when Guedioura was replaced by Lansbury.
And the substitute went close six minutes later. Hutton's cross was met by Blackstock whose neat knock-down found Lansbury on the edge of the area. His first time effort fizzed along the greasy turf and into Kuzczak's hands.
The game was now at the mercy of torrential rain and Hoskins headed for the shelter of the bench on 70 minutes when he was replaced by Kazenga Lua Lua.
Four minutes later it appeared a Forest short corner had gone awry but Reid managed to wriggle his way into the box and cross to the back post but Ayala could only turn it over from close range when the ball was knocked back in.
And The Reds went close again when Blackstock flashed his header wide from Halford's cross.
On 81 minutes Lua Lua got away from Hutton and Camp did well to tip his low effort wide.
Having looked much sturdier at the back since the break, all Forest's hard work was nearly undone five minutes from time when Halford's slip let Buckley through one-on-one with Camp. The Northern Irishman pulled off an excellent one-handed save to deny him, however.
And with seconds of normal time remaining, Ayala plucked the ball away from Barnes to deny a certain goal.
Gillett replaced Reid in the second minute of stoppage time - the final incident of note in an exciting game on the South coast.

Chapter XXVI: The Power Within (8/18)Mature
'No,' Will gasped, running past Taksony to try and reach them, 'NO!' He was nearly amongst the crowd when a guard appeared in front of him and punched him in the gut. He felt sickness creep over him, and as his body curled up, the guard stood behind him and locked his arms down, holding him helplessly in place.
Taksony strode confidently into the room as two soldiers took Carmen and spread her out on the altar, quickly applying the fetters and tightening them whilst she writhed with the last of her strength.
'This will be very simple, Your Highness,' he said with a crooked smile. 'You already know from Sapphire of our desire of the Power. I have no doubt you know where it is, so all you have to do is tell me.'
'You let her go!' Will yelled, kicking his feet against the ground. 'She has nothing to do with this!'
'She has everything to do with this. If I'm honest, I never had any doubt that the Power resided in one of you three. The other children were simply...experiments, and something to get your attention. You have two choices,' he walked over to Carmen and smoothed her hair out of her eyes, smiling down at her horridly, whilst she looked up at him with tear-filled, terrified eyes. 'One, you can tell me where the Power is. We'll extract it, and everybody keeps their souls. Then, you can join us with this new weapon to take down the Elemental Court and sit in your thrones. You can rule as you desire, as long as you abide by a few...negligible conditions. Or, you can remain silent, and we will extract from your brother and sister one by one, throwing in a few innocents along the way before you tell us. Your choice.'
'You can't do it!' he protested. 'They're royals, you won't hurt them!'
He shrugged impassively, 'all your brother and sister will ever become are viceroys, perhaps be awarded a dukedom if you feel particularly generous. There are many nobles happy to take their place. All we need is you. We keep you alive, and the bloodline is sustained.'
'You monster!' Will snarled.
Taksony laughed, 'I don't debate it. I wonder what your sister has to say about this. Perhaps she'll convince you.' He pulled down the cloth gagging Carmen, but she said the opposite of what everybody expected.
'Don't tell them anything, Will! I'll be alright, don't tell them who it is!'
Karn'el yelled something through his gag, what sounded like his sister's name. Taksony looked annoyed that Carmen hadn't begged for her life, but he turned to Sapphire, who stood with a blank expression at the sidelines. 'Sapphire, send for the leech.'
She deliberated whether to speak, then stammered, 'Master, I - I don't know if this is - are you sure? She's a - a -,' Taksony strode towards her and grabbed her arm, raising it up and bending it backwards until she cried out in pain and doubled over.
'Do you see this?' he hissed, 'who's the one causing you pain? Me. I am a Master, and you are my servant, you insolent whore!' He bent his head to whisper deathly words to her. 'You desire power? You must always lose to gain. Admittedly, losing another of the Avaric bloodline is a mournful sacrifice, but it - is - necessary. If I hear you contradict me again, I'll depose you and let the men have their way with you!'
'Please, Master...forgive me,' she whimpered, looking at him with a silent plea. He released her and she snapped up straight, rubbing her wrist where white fingerprints began to fade on her skin. A guard had already fetched a leech during their conversation, now he presented it towards Sapphire. She hesitated, but with a dark look from Taksony, picked it up and caused it to make another agonised shriek.
A soldier approached, holding a blade, he drew it down Carmen's dress, grabbed hold of the neckline and ripped. 'Last chance, Willow,' called Taksony over the muffled cries of Karn'el and Laguna. 'Make a decision: the Power...or your sister?'

I found myself at a bar on lesbian night recently because I'd been whisked away (long story) from a house party packed with womyn planning a feminist revolution (longer story). Elements is nearly hidden; it's an unassuming storefront without a sign. I passed seven bucks over to the doorman for entrance, then waded my way into a sea of females. The place was packed tighter than a South Beach dance club. Lights flashed and the sound system rivaled that of most local rock bars except that it was blaring Madonna. A young Latina clad in garter belt, tight silvery panties, and matching bra undulated while girls shoved paper currency into every lacy strap. Elements is more laid-back than other dance clubs. Although it's a lesbian bar on Saturday nights, the crowd was anything but homogenous. Near the pool tables, four or five frat-boy-looking fellas were drinking Buds, a few couples lined the bar, and boys, girls, and some that were tough to identify bumped into one another on the dance floor. I was pushed around the dance floor so much while trying to keep my beer in its upright position that I wasn't even sure I was dancing with anyone other than myself. But I had a great time doing it.
