How can Australia possibly get off so lightly?
The Treasury's modelling suggests that cutting carbon emissions by 80 per cent of their 2000 levels by 2050 should result in only a relatively modest loss of national income. Average annual growth in per capita gross national income, or GNI, out to 2050 is cut from 1.2 per cent to 1.1 per cent. Yet Australia is planning to tax an important part of its comparative advantage: its abundance of cheap carbon-based energy.
A big part of the answer is that Australia does not intend to cut its emissions by 80 per cent of their 2000 levels. It intends to cut its contribution to global emissions by 80 per cent of their 2000 levels.
It's a subtle difference, but it's worth many billions of dollars to the Australian economy.
In the modelling, Australia's own emission cuts account for only about half the planned reduction. The other 48 per cent will be emission cuts that we buy from other countries.
The assumed global trade in emission permits greatly reduces the cost of Australia's contribution to the reduction in global emissions by making unnecessary any domestic emission reduction action that costs more than the world market price of emission permits.
The flexibility of the Australian economy is still of critical importance. As the emission-intensive industries contract, resources must shift to less emission-intensive industries.
The efficiency of the labour market will be particularly important, with the flexibility of the real exchange rate (that is, adjusted for inflation) playing a critical role in this adjustment and the maintenance of full employment.
The longer it takes to establish a global market in verifiable emissions permits, the bigger will be the role of the real exchange rate.
Technological change is also expected by the modellers to play an important role. For example, the development of carbon capture and storage technology is expected to benefit the development of the coal industry.
Carbon capture and storage is projected to start in the mid-2030s in the core policy scenario and, as a result, the growth in coal production by 2050 increases from 92 per cent to 109 per cent, and gross national income is 0.5 of a percentage point higher in 2050 than it otherwise would have been.
That said, the loss in GNI is not as inconsequential as it might seem at first sight. A cut in per capita GNI growth of 0.1 per cent looks very small, but total GNI in 2050 is projected by the Treasury to be 4.7 per cent lower. That's not huge, but it's not trivial. The Productivity Commission's estimate of the long-term increase in GNI as a result of the so-called Hilmer economic reforms of the 1990s was 4.8 per cent. We went to an awful lot of trouble to get Hilmer's extra 4.8 per cent, so we should hardly dismiss the loss of 4.7 per cent as being of no account.
The core policy scenario in Treasury modelling, depicted in the accompanying graphs, assumes the world aims to stabilise greenhouse gases at 550 parts per million and Australia's contribution is to cut emissions to 5 per cent below their 2000 levels by 2020 and 80 per cent below their 2000 levels by 2050.
As a starting point, the Treasury models the Australian economy without any emissions reduction. The projected average per capita GNI growth rate of 1.2 per cent assumes there are no additional trade barriers imposed on Australia by emission-reducing countries.
This, of course, may be unrealistic as French President
Over the period to 2050, the highly emission-intensive manufacturing industries are projected to cut their emissions intensity by 42 per cent, mining by 52 per cent and the electricity sector by 77 per cent. But the effect of carbon pricing on the output growth of manufacturing and mining is quite small.
This, as the Treasury explains, is partly the result of changes within the sectors: cuts in the growth of high emitters are partly offset by faster growth by the less emission- intensive industries. But imports of emission permits clearly play an important part.

Males and female all over the world are finding themselves in situations where they discover their Twin and they can never ever be the same once again. So what truly is a twin flame?
It has been said by many that twin flames are the other half of our soul, also referred to as twin twin soul relationship souls. Each twin flame is a complete soul, these souls when they are together produce something more.
Some think that we each have only one Twin, from which we have actually chosen to move apart and enter our different methods, incarnating over various life times, producing a full spectrum of human experience and moving ever closer to disclosing more love in the journey to remember who we genuinely are.
Its stated by many there will certainly be times, when the force of development which is driven by the impulse of life to reveal the higher beauty, love and fact, conspires in an unique method to bring the twins back together again. Such a reunion holds the pledge of something remarkable arising from the power and http://spiritualwebs467.page.tl/Twin-flame-relationship-blog-you-need-to-have-a-look-at.htm interest that represents the ability of the twin flame relationship. This reconnection of the One Soul, at a human level, consists of the awareness, balance and combination of our feminine and masculine aspects, raising individual and joint consciousness. Lots of have likewise stated that twins return together for their last life time in the world, essentially to risen together.

AMANDA Bynes has left the UCLA Medical Centre and is heading to a celebrity-focused facility in Malibu.
TMZ is reporting that the facility does not have the psychiatric facilities that are available at UCLA, and sources say that Bynes is still in a desperate state. What's more troubling about the situation is that Bynes had been under a special hold (called an LPS) as doctors were so concerned about her wellbeing.
According to sources close to the situation, Bynes checked in to The Canyon three weeks ago, and she is said to interact very little with people and rarely leaves the area where she's living.
The Canyon made news in 2011 after an employee allegedly sold confidential information about Charlie Sheen's ex Brooke Mueller during her stay at the facility. Mueller allegedly settled her lawsuit against the facility for around $US250,000.

The Story of Tea and Yugi By Cassandra Jade Tinnikis
Chapter One- Love is in the...Smog
Tea and Yugi lived in Tokyo. There was a lot of smog. One day they were walking through the city, with little hearts in their eyes, when Yugi lost Tea in all of the smog. He cried.
Chapter Two- Yugi Dies
Yugi cried so much that his body dried out and he died. His hair detached itself from his body and went off in search of Tea.
Chapter Three- Yugi's Hair's Chances of Finding Tea
This is Yugi's hair's chances of finding Tea. ((a target with a dart on the ring of the last stripe))
Chapter Four- Meanwhile...
Meanwhile, Tea was looking for help from Duck...Duke Devilin.
"Can you help me find Yugi?" she asked him.
"No!" Duck..Duke Devilin slammed his door in her face. He was too busy drinking.
Chapter Five- I'm On A Never-Ending Quest to Save...That girl over there! No, not her...That, that one...Yeah, her...
Yugi's Hair traveled all through Tokyo, looking for its long-lost (well, five minute's lost) love. It asked everyone it saw, but no one had seen Tea. It then accidentally boarded a plane for Kinshasa. (It's in Africa)
Chapter Six- My Bologna Has A First Name...
When Yugi's Hair landed in Kinshasa, it asked an old lion:
"Have you seen my Tea"
"Yes, I did! I ate her just a while ago," it answered. "She tasted like bologna..."
Chapter Seven- Yugi's Hair's New Chances of Finding Tea
Chapter 1- 100, Chapter 2- 80, Chapter 3- 0, Chapter 4- 50, Chapter 5- 4, Chapter 6- 0
Chapter Eight- Psyche!
Yugi's Hair was crying, but the old lion said, "What her name was TEA! Like the drink...and she was kinda spongy"
Everyone in Kinshasa laughed at Yugi's Hair, and it cried some more.
Chapter Nine- Ooooh, it's PURTY!
Tea was walking through Tokyo when she saw a cloud. "Wow! It's purty!" she said. "It looks like a Duke...I mean, a duck"
While she was distracted, she boarded a plane and flew to Buenos Aires.
Chapter Ten- Hola, Amigos!
When Tea landed in Buenos Aires, she tried out her Espranglishese on the locals.
"Ho-lah, my ah-mig-oes! Don-day esta my boyfriend-oh"
They all laughed at her.
"Ah, baka!" she screamed, unleashing the curse of the apricots on them. "Omae o Korosu"
They laughed again,
"Ay, basura..." she muttered and boarded a plane to Kinshasa (only because she can't read and thought it said 'Duke-Duck-Shaped-Cloud').
Chapter Eleven- AHHH! Watch out! EEEEEEE:groan:
Yugi's hair was bored, and it didn't want to look for Tea anymore. He boarded a plane to Las Vegas, but was attacked by a rabid rabbit.
"Ahh!" he screamed, warning the other passengers. "Watch out! EEEEEE"
The rabbit tore the red part out of his scalp, and Yugi's hair groaned in pain...
Chapter Twelve- Vegas, Baby!
Yugi's hair had never heard of Las Vegas before. As it searched the city in search of a doctor (the rabbit had fun with him), it found a casino and casually sauntered in. It was then blinded and deafened by the neons lights, beeps of slot machines, and screams of those who just lost millions playing roulette (it was Seto Kaiba.).
Chapter Thirteen- Leather Scented Blimps (DON'T ASK WHERE THE TITTLE CAME FROM...)
As Yugi's hair wandered around the casino, laughing at Seto Kaiba because he was now living in a box on welfare, it was suddenly assaulted with the sight of Mokuba Kaiba...gyrating...in a pink leather dress.
"Mokuba? Gyrating?" it thought, and immediately imploded, exploded, imploded again, flew to Egypt, and impaled itself on a pyramid.
Yeah...I didn't write this...I merely typed it and am submitting it to you all! Please REVIEW...my hikari and I would greatly appreciate it... and if yoiu haven't read and review MY stories, please!

Making It Work: A Closer Look at the Gig Economy
Masha Yudin stashed this in Gig Economy
Stashed in: economics, Uber, Economics, Economy
"The gig economy works particularly well when it serves to complement full time employment. It provides a way for people to quickly respond to immediate or unplanned economic needs. If people use the gig economy to supplement their income, as a safety net of sorts, they are less likely to be concerned that freelance work lacks the perks of traditional employee-employer relationships like a 401(k). However, this is not the case for full-time freelancers."
So it's for people to pick up extra work, not for people to use as their main job.
Ideally, yes, but it does not work like this. There are a lot of full-time freelancers as well. The original article - that I have not yet found - was prompted by a court decision that Uber contractors need to be reclassified as employees - with benefits etc. Here are a couple more articles on this exact topic:

Sept 23, 2013
Morghana is a young, 14 year old girl, who has recently moved to a new town and school. Her family and school counselors believes that she has a mental illness. She discovers an abandoned church and graveyard near her house complete with spirits that only she can see. Will this dispell her family's belief of her mental state, or will it just make it more concrete?
September 23, 2013
Some people think that I must be lonely, but no matter how many times I tell them that I'm not, they won't listen. I never made friends at my old school. The school counselor always made such a big deal out of it. I really don't know why. I have friends, just not at school. She wouldn't believe me though and now I have to meet with someone three times a week.
Before we moved, the guy who came to my house was really nice. He didn't call me crazy. He listened to me. His name was Mr. Richardson.
This woman who came over today didn't seem as nice. She is convinced I am not sane. She is making me keep this journal for me to "track my inner thoughts." She promises she isn't going to read it; it's just for me. All she is going to do is make sure I am writing and not "undermining authority." I hope she knows the only reason I'm doing this is because I love writing.
Our new house is pretty big. Mom made me get the room at the far side of the house. I like being further away. I can talk to my friends at night without waking my parents and little brother up. Well, I am going to lay down and get some rest before my friends show up. Night!

The building on 12th, just purchased, will be converted into a repair and machine shop for the garage, and as a consequence Mr. Irwin will have more space for offices, stock rooms, etc., in the main building. Mr. Irwin has still more ideas of development in mind to accomodate his ever increasing business, but he would not confide them to the News reporter at this time, saying that it would be better news if we would wait until it actually transpired. Grant Irwin is probably one of the best known garage men In this part of the state, and if he were doing the talking himself he would no doubt tell you that the Buick car is without a peer in the whole wide world. At any rate the News is glad to note the expansion of the business for the very good reason that it indicates that Ada is rapidly growing better as a business city.

The President said the public expected the conference to stay together until the way was found to the establishment of a surer co-operation between all the alaments engaged in industry or until it was revealed that the ''men who work and th© men who manage American industry are so set upon divergent paths that all efforts at co-operation are doomed to failure." "If the nation's industrial leaders and workers are to be without faith in each other, constantly struggling for advantage over each other and doing nothing but what they ar© compelled", the President said, "the situation thus created would, be a national disaster." Declaring that his mind turned away from such a possibility the President said the conference should stand together for the development of a full program by which a measurable co-operation might be secured and not break because full agreement could not be had on each proposition or method suggested.

Swarovski EL SWAROVISION 8x32 Binocular 32108 Review
Swarovski achieved great success with the full size line of Swarovski EL 42 and 50mm binoculars. Often however users need a binocular that is smaller and lighter in weight when hiking, backpacking, birding and hunting.
The Swarovski EL 32 is available in 8x and 10 magnification in two colors: brown and the standard Swarovski dark green. Despite their smaller size each of the Swarovski EL 32 binoculars provide a surprisingly large field of view. The 8x32 EL has a field of view of 423 feet at 1000 yards that is perfect for birding and hunting in thicker terrains, while the 10x32 offers a field of view of 360 feet at 1000 yards and gives a bit more magnification when needed. Each binocular has the usual EL ergonomics for viewing comfort and all have outstanding clarity with a light transmission of over 90%.
All of the binoculars have the full Swarovision treatment: Swarobright, Swarodur and Swarotop coatings. They feature removable twist in eyecups, are totally waterproof and fog proof and Swarovski is now including a Snap Shot Adapter with each binocular for a quick digiscoping setup to capture images while in the field.

Dave Grohl Talks About People Who Passed On Nirvana HOF
Nirvana has been the topic of discussion in the music world the last few weeks and one thing that everyone is talking about is their choice of female vocalists for their big night last week.
Dave Grohl told Rolling Stone that one of the ladies he wanted to bring along was PJ Harvey but it didn't work out. He said that Kurt Cobain was a fan of hers and Dave would have liked to get her to do some songs but she had other commitments that night.

He also talked about how originally there were a group of guys that were presented with the idea of singing the songs but they weren't on board with it given the fact that filling Kurt's shoes was too big of a task. (Now I want to know what guys were on that list! Who Dave, who?!)

Since modest beginnings in 2005 we've been crafting Brighton's Simple Folk Radio as a way to champion live music and to promote artists 'outsider' or otherwise who are in no danger of bothering the pop charts anytime soon. The show is presented by a small, rag-tag group of friends with a common love of modern musics with folk and country sensibilities who take turns playing records and airing exclusive sessions and live recordings while attempting to join the whole with liberal helpings of hokum and questionable insight as we share our latest obsessions with one another.
For full details of our 8 weekly broadcasts on Folk Radio UK & Radio Reverb please visit our News page. For erotic experience and meeting sexy London escorts visit London escort map. Between us all, you can expect to hear music and songs from foregrounds and the hinterlands of such scenes, non-scenes and spurious genres as alt-country, anti-folk, appalachian, bluegrass, honky tonk, country rock, indie folk, Americana, blues, gospel, and the various nameless and formless backwoods hybrids which have traditionally graced the Simple Folk gramophone, all failing wonderfully to coalesce into a rich rustic radio stew.
Our portfolio of sessions and live recordings is already the stuff of legend, being made up of numerous unique and exclusive slabs of sonic joy running at twenty-, thirty-, sometimes even forty-something minutes apiece. Long enough, in fact, for you to feel like you've actually spent time in the room with the band (yes, escapism – what good radio used to be about) the antithesis of the usual radio session cop-out which often amounts to little more than a promotion for the band's latest chart-hopeful single, performed exactly how it will sound on every other radio station.
We have thus far been humbled by the contributions of such prestigious singers and players as Jeffrey Lewis, Great Lake Swimmers, Kimya Dawson, Charlie Parr, The Handsome Family, King Creosote, Akron/Family, Josh T. Pearson, James Yorkston, Phosphorescent, Strand Of Oaks, Viking Moses, Stanley Brinks, Okkervil River, Joe Gideon and the Shark and Mumford and Sons. Needless to say, we've a cartload more acts lined up and we look forward to sharing them with SFR's loyal and growing listenership.

Rosalita: Phone callMature
Maxxie comforted me and I cheered up slightly. Perhaps Annie was just getting away for a while, for a breather. I sat listening to the moaning next door with a small smile. At least Maxxie was happy with Cayden. I reached for my mobile.
Annie's number popped up and I held the phone to my ear.
"Come on, pick up." There was no answer. Voicemail. "Hey Annie, could you ring me? I'm feeling better and I...I need to talk. How's Lilianna? Where are you? I... I miss you. And I'm really sorry, but I had to have time to sort it, or else we would end up getting worse. Call me."
I hung up, and slid the phone in to my pocket. Then I made sure there were no noises in the kitchen and I slipped out and opened the fridge. Halfway through making a sandwhich, Maxxie appeared.
"Hey, you ok now?"
"Yeah I suppose."

'Getting off at Edge Hill' is Liverpudlian for coitus interruptus, Edge Hill being the penultimate stop before the train reaches its destination at Lime Street. It is a characteristically Liverpudlian expression since it combines a coarse practicality with a touching sensitivity about place. Anyway, they like imagist language in Liverpool. As Paul du Noyer explains in his superb book about local music, Liverpool: Wondrous Place (2002), a sort of pop surrealism is in the air. 'A hard day's night' was not brilliant poetic invention. It's just the way they speak.
But the railway anecdote says something else as well. Geographically, Liverpool is a terminus. The railway and the roads stop here. There is no through traffic. Liverpool has no rush hour. It looks to Ireland and America, the sources of its social character and its musical style. The famous waterfront is like nothing else in Britain: its feel is entirely transatlantic. And those famous liver birds (debased cormorants) were the work of a German, Carl Bernard Bartels. As I was writing these notes my neighbour on the train, a modern Liverpool man, laptopped and BlackBerried, said into his phone, 'Yeah, it's a movable feast, but a feast of marshmallows.' See?
I was brought to Liverpool as a toddler 50 years ago. Here I had most of my rites of passage: going to school, riding a bike, having a beer and a smoke, girlfriends, driving licence, passing exams, leaving home. Much later, I proposed to my wife here. I have lived in London three times as long as I lived on Merseyside, but I still say I come from Liverpool. I rarely come back, but when I do, no map is required. No other city, not even New York or Venice, has such a powerful built environment. You cannot be reasonably alert and grow up here being complacent about architecture: there is so much of it. But it is a brooding presence: there is an epic melancholy about a city that has experienced such tumult. Liverpool has its comedians, but it is not always a happy place: du Noyer says local artists are preoccupied with turning rage into beauty. For me, personally, it's full of ghosts. I blub when I hear 'In My Life'. Nearly 40 years after I left the place, it still provides the cityscape of my nightmares.
I learnt about architecture from walking the streets, and from reading Liverpool-Welsh architect Quentin Hughes's Seaport (1964), the best ever account of city building. Later, Hughes became my mentor. In the 17th century Daniel Defoe said Liverpool was a 'wonder of Britain'. He was before his time, but soon the facts caught up with his hyperbole. Liverpool has superb Georgian housing and the first prefabricated metal churches: it was Liverpool ironmaster Thomas Rickman who coined the terms Norman, Early English, Decorated and Perpendicular to define Gothic styles. When Nikolaus Pevsner discovered Peter Ellis's Oriel Chambers of 1864, architectural history had to be rewritten: it was skyscraper style and structure 20 years before Chicago. Joseph Paxton made the country's first public park in Birkenhead, across the river. And Giles Gilbert Scott's awesome Gormenghast Anglican cathedral sitting above a canyon of dreadful gloom is twice as big as St Paul's and looms with terrible Christian menace over the pagan Hellenic monuments in its grounds. A modern house by local architect Gerald Beech won The Woman's Journal architecture award in 1960. It was a place of pilgrimage for me: I went there often on my bike. Liverpool was an education. What made one arrangement of bricks, stone, steel and glass good, another bad? Design.
They used to say, 'Salford lads, Manchester boys, but Liverpool gentlemen.' But soon the gentlemen became scallies. Liverpool's decline was even faster than its rise. In half a century one of the richest cities in the world became one of the most depressed. Despite, or perhaps because, Hitler is reputed to have lived here in 1912-13 (at least according to his Irish sister-in-law, Bridget Hitler) there was the Luftwaffe retribution. Now the Irish were uncharacteristically hostile: during the blackout, Dublin's lights blazed and, being on the same latitude, all the Heinkels had to do was aim for the Irish capital and head east. Visible bomb damage is still a reality. Rotterdam's Europort pulled the plug on the docks. Misguided industrialisation (Liverpudlians have always been traders, not manufacturers), white flight and a diminishing tax base all fuelled the fall. When the rest of the country went Thatcherite, Liverpool whimsically went Trotskyist. The city lost its way in the tunnel of comradely love and almost failed to recover.
Now it will be Capital of Culture 2008 with a programme of events beginning with the 2007 Turner Prize, a Liverpool Sound concert, the Tall Ships Race, exhibitions of Gustav Klimt and James Tissot, a Shipping Lines Literary Festival and a People's Festival with, oh dear, a 'celebration' of working-class culture. This is a fine symbol of revival, but Liverpool has more distant and permanent horizons. Continuing the fine tradition of surreal wordplay, you find serious, educated people saying positive things about John Prescott. One of them is Beatrice Fraenkel, the council's 'design champion'. Another is Jim Gill, chief executive of Liverpool Vision, the first urban regeneration company. Both Fraenkel and Gill are generous in attributing credit to Prescott for this brave initiative, which began in 1999, four years before the Capital of Culture award was decided.
Liverpool Vision's brief is to work on the city centre, an informally defined area taking on the heroic waterfront and its World Heritage landmarks, reaching back to the university and hospital area in the north. The major projects that Liverpool Vision is promoting - it acts as an honest broker between money and politics - are the King's Waterfront, the Grosvenor Estate's Paradise Project, the Commercial District, the Ropewalks, Pier Head and the public realm in general, including a useful programme of lighting the city's outstanding portfolio of public buildings.
The King's Waterfront is, at 35 acres, the largest single development, a £380m arena and conference centre by Wilkinson Eyre. It is built on an island site created when one of the old docks was unceremoniously filled during the Sixties. Clearly inspired by the city's imagist spirit, the architects have chosen a seagull or a swimmer as a design metaphor: two vast techno-organic swoops of structure, like wings or arms, define the major spaces, a 9,400-seat arena and a 1,350-seat conference centre. Intended to be a future engine of both business and cultural tourism, this is where the Capital of Culture opening ceremony will be held in the second week of January 2008. Attendees will enjoy heartbreaking views of the Mersey, a river of so much hope and despair.
Adjacent is the Paradise Project, a £900m retail and hotel development by the Duke of Westminster's Grosvenor Estate, linking the city centre with the waterfront. It will be rebranded Liverpool One when complete. A part of Grosvenor's modern fortune was established when an earlier Duke built London's Belgravia. Now this enormous commitment to a very different sort of development demonstrates new realities. By 2004 Liverpool had slipped behind Guildford as a retail centre, but like so many other civic humiliations, that will soon be in the past. Liverpool One is anchored by a handsome, literate, glassy new John Lewis store by John McAslan, with other signature buildings designed by Allies and Morrison, CZWG, Jeremy Dixon, Marks Barfield and (very likely) FAT.
Nearby is the commercial district (including John Wood's splendid classical Town Hall). This survived Liverpool's decline and retains a surprisingly lively financial centre, now further vivified by Paul Monaghan's Unity Building, a dramatic mixture of premium office space with boldly sculpted residential. His inspiration? The First World War dazzle ships painted in Birkenhead's dry docks. Across the way, a Radisson hotel. A few blocks beyond, a pair of 40-or-more-storey residential towers are inching skyward.
For someone who grew up when 'Liverpool' was media shorthand for urban misery, this is exalting stuff. So what are the city's prospects for 2008 and beyond? Many years ago another prodigal returned and wrote the song 'Good Morning' that appears on Sgt Pepper. John Lennon later told me he really did as the lyrics said and went to 'take a walk by the old school', but was sufficiently unimpressed to turn down an invitation to speak at Quarry Bank's speech day. The Beatle went on to find 'nothing has changed, it's still the same'. I found a city that was changing a lot, but still much the same. Liverpool is beautiful and ugly, proud and wanton, impressive and dismaying, romantic and crass. It is not a city to feel neutral about.
The Mersey Mission to Seamen, a hostel at the Pier Head, has become the Figure Factory fitness club. Today's mariners are more concerned about contemporary body mass index than eternal salvation. The old Speke Airport, a 1937 Art Deco gem by Edward Bloomfield, modelled on Hamburg's Fuhlsbuettel, has become a Marriott hotel. In short trousers, I used to be taken there for non-alcoholic cocktails and watch the Vickers Viscounts from the Beaufighter Lounge, at the time by far the smartest resort in town. The new terminal is a mile or so away. Direct services to New York start soon. EasyJet is already there. In my day, Liverpudlian swells used to weekend in Anglesey. Now they fly to Barcelona from John Lennon Airport. How very wonderful, and how very Liverpudlian, to be more famous than Christ and to have a major piece of transport infrastructure named after you. Just down the road, the recently derelict Bryant & May match factory (a victim of Bic disposable lighters) is now a fully let residential refurb by Urban Splash, its car park chocker with expensive German metal.
That famous Pier Head, the once functional part of one of the world's great waterfronts, now features a cadaverous Chinese restaurant, soon to be regenerated away by an extension of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and a new Museum of Liverpool by the Danish architects 3XNielsen. As a child I used to go there to wave goodbye to a flight-averse uncle making his frequent trips to the United States on the very last transatlantic liners. Now, a new cruise liner terminal is being built for leisure tourists. The slate-grey Mersey is an odd contrast to the bacino of Venice, but no one ever said consumerism was rational.
Jesse Hartley's red-brick Albert Dock is one of the masterpieces of the great English functional tradition in architecture. I would go there as a sensitive teenager to take laboriously grainy photographs of rusting capstans. It is now the home of the Tate North and the sort of clubs where the very many footballers' wives hang and chill hereabouts. Talking of which, the beautifully austere classical St Peter's in Seel Street, a Catholic church of 1788 (three years before the emancipating relief act), is now Alma de Cuba, a robustly blasphemous bar and restaurant specialising in Spanish and South American food and wine, developed by Urban Splash. On the day of my visit, the morning after Liverpool were whomped 6-3 by Arsenal, footballers' wives were doing penance.
Leaving Lime Street Station (which gets a desperately needed new forecourt in 2009 and becomes a 'Gateway') you are still confronted by a contrasting spectacle that is utterly Liverpool in its incongruous mixture of swaggering magnificence and dismaying tat. To the right, St George's Hall (Europe's finest neo-classical building and to Norman Shaw 'one of the great edifices of the world'). It is an astonishing monument to civic pride and it was so typically Liverpool to award its design to an untried 25-year-old, a tragic genius called Harvey Lonsdale Elmes. But to the right, the utterly wretched Lime Street with its 'Chicken Deals', deserted cinema, 20 per cent discounts on jug wines and local newspapers with headlines declaring: 'Police break-up local dog fight ring'. When you see this sort of culture, you want to reach for your high explosive. Of course, it will be dealt with by Liverpool Vision when the approvals and guidelines are in place, but I found myself mischievously thinking that maybe the squalid old Lime Street should be preserved as a relic for 2008's cultural tourists to compare and contrast to what is being built with the £3.5bn of public and private investment brought into the city since 2000.
It changes daily, but at the last count there were 36 tower cranes on Liverpool's skyline. Not all of what they are building is necessarily wonderful. The Grosvenor Estate's 42 acres is certainly a persuasive gesture of faith and includes stand-alone buildings of real quality, but, with its aerial decks and walkways, elements of the scheme are queasily reminiscent of the lateral, horizontal concrete hells of Toulouse le-Mirail and other misbegotten civic schemes by Le Corbusier's less talented and more doctrinaire descendants. I found myself thinking, 'Have we learnt nothing?' then stopped myself, because, on the whole, the emerging Liverpool is an unprecedented experiment in city building. And, besides, the Grosvenor scheme respects the established street patterns, has a fine grain and texture, a landscaped park by Cesar Pelli and an academy and salon for Herbert the Hairdresser by Piers Gough. This is an architectural composition - with shrieking angles and shiny gilt - of gloriously demented originality. It wants only complementary leopardskin or fishnet to become a global landmark of superlative vulgarity. So that's in accord with the spirit of place.
Never before has so much effort, money and intelligence been committed to urban regeneration. Yes, you can mention Barcelona and Berlin, but they were nothing like so far gone as Liverpool circa 1980, when all hope had been abandoned in an inferno of official neglect and wilful self- destruction. The turnaround amazes: the city centre population has risen by 21 per cent since 2000. There are loft dwellers, not shoeless waifs and beggarwomen. In my youth the big problem in Liverpool at night was vomit on the pavement. Now it is finding somewhere to park your Audi.
The Capital of Culture year will come and go. Does anyone now remember Patras 2006? But the regeneration project has a longer life. Jim Gill says the Capital of Culture is a useful advertisement, but may raise expectations that cannot be realistically satisfied within a cultural bureaucrat's timeline. Rebuilding entire cities is a job that goes beyond street theatre, concerts and exhibitions. However, Grosvenor has brought forward its development by half a year to meet and greet cultural tourists, so sometimes deadlines work.
Not many years ago to mention 'the future of Liverpool' would have made you ridiculous. People in the University School of Architecture were seriously advocating urban retrenchment, depopulation, desertification and handing the many bits that did not work back to that old stranger, Nature. But now it is different. There is a daunting amount still to do beyond the city centre, but meanwhile Liverpool Vision is very publicly putting to the test a belief that I hold dear: the conviction and courage to make new buildings is a defining characteristic of healthy civilisations. And decent architecture stimulates society, culture and the economy as a whole.
And it just might work. On the way back to London the Virgin Pendolino swerved through Widnes, once renowned for its toxic horrors. On the railway station here, just by the Mersey, 40 years ago in conditions of absolutely abject anomie, Paul Simon wrote 'Homeward Bound'. Of course, I was glad to be going back to London, but had a small measure of regret about the leaving of a fast-improving Liverpool. The city of nightmares may yet become the city of dreams.

I would like to be able to edit files when I'm on laptop and accessing the desktop. Laptop is wireless and desktop is wired. They are both on the same Homegroup. I have beat this to death and have run out of ideas. Can anyone help with this issue?
