First Federal Bank
mattb325 posted a file in SimCity 4 Buildings
Version 1.0.0
1,263 DownloadsFormer First Federal Savings and Loan California, by Mattb325. --------------------------------------- It's not only "old" buildings that are demolished in the name of the progress. This building was constructed in 1959 and used to stand at the corner of Hollywood and Highland Ave, Los Angeles. It formed and framed a famous part of the view from Graumans Chinese Theatre down Hollywood Blvd. It was demolished in the late 80s for the Hollywood & Highland project (i.e. where the Academy awards are filmed now). While this is not an exact recration of the old First Federal Bank, it is a good example of the Southern Californian mid-century, heavy-set, mid-rise office building. The beauty of these buildings is sheer quality of their materials: polished limestone with contrasting highly polished granite base, crittal steel windows and polished marble forecourts, but "progress", as well as the need to expensively retro-fit many mid-century buildings in shaky California saw these gems consigned to the wrecking ball. To make it a little bit different, I've angled it 45 degrees for a corner lot as there really aren't many such taller buildings in this game and by doing this it complements a lot of the taller angled residentials from Sim Fox, Bixel, HKABT et al. This building is offered as a growable high-wealth mid-rise building on all tilesets. It grows easily, but as it is limited to a 4x4 corner lot (there is one for both left and right corners) it isn't weedy. Hold the CTRL key while zoning to ensure that you get the lot size. Stats, links and dependencies are listed below. --------------------------------------- STATS (CO§§§): Growth Stage: 6&7 (medium and high density zones) Bulldoze Cost: §869 Capacity Satisfied: CO§§ 2,479, CO§§§ 1,735 Pollution: 10 (Air)/ 10 (Water)/ 4 (Garbage ) Pollution Radius: 6/7/0 Power Consumed: 70 Mwh Water Consumed: 758 Gal/Month Building Style: Chicago/NY/Houston/Euro Occupant Group: Commercial Office Building --------------------------------------- NOTE ABOUT DARK NITE vs MAXIS NITE: This download contains TWO model files; one for dark nite users (and other night-time darkening mods, such as Gizmos night-mod) and one for the standard Maxis nite. You must keep only one file - depending on which version you use. If you are unsure whether you have a night-darkening mod installed, then choose the Maxis night version. Regardless of which file you choose to keep, make sure you DO NOT delete the Lot or Desc files! If you use the dark nite version, you will need a dark nite mod: --------------------------------------- DEPENDENCIES: *BSC Mega Props - CP Vol02.dat - http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=2790 --------------------------------------- To install, simply unzip the file into your plugins folder.

Urban Abstractions BATs
Urban Abstraction posted a topic in SC4 BAT - Open DiscussionI thought I should show you guys my progress. 340 on the Park, Chicago! Feel free to constructively criticize and make suggestions. Obviously I'm not done and there are a bunch of things I see that needs correcting. What I DO want to know is what you guys think about the glass color/reflections/bump. I think it's pretty good but not quite sure.. Also since this building was constructed in 2007 and it isn't any sort of icon, it's pretty hard to find good, up close pictures of areas that can't be seen from google maps street view.
Diego Del Llano Growables - 2017 Pack One
kingofsimcity posted a file in Lots
Version 1.00
1,049 DownloadsKOSC Presents: Diego Del Llano Growables - 2017 Pack One Introduction This is set of growable, high-density lots made from Diego Del Llano's BATs that were released in 2017. The objective of this set is to provide growable alternatives to the ploppable landmarks in the original release for a more traditional gaming experience. While ploppable are amazing in their own right, it doesn't quite allow for one to experience the feeling of zoning a plot and having that shiny new tower pop up. Package Overview 4/14 IMPORTANT NOTE - this file currently only works with the DarkNite versions, and NOT MaxisNite - an update will be rolled out soon to accomodate the MaxisNite buildings Included in the following package are a set of growables for all Diego Del Llano's 2017 releases (excluding the Loop Postal Station building in the Federal Center Chicago set). A couple of the buildings have different occupant versions to satisfy different demand groups. There are TWO versions of the package you can download: Vanilla and CAM. The vanilla version has all of the larger buildings capped at stage 8, with capacities that do not exceed 7500. For those that use the Colossus Addon Mod, the larger buildings extend all the way up to stage 15 and boast much higher capacities, up to around 11000. If you desire to plop the growables, use the buildingPlop cheat and look for exemplars starting at DiegoDL_ (requires ExtraCheats.dll). General Stats All stats were generated with PIM-X. Vanilla versions differ only in growth stage and maximum capacity tweaks (for buildings that exceeded 7000 by default). The breakdown is as follows: 4 R$$$ buildings CITITOWER Guadalajara, 4x6 left corner Ventura Place One, 3x4 front Ventura Place Two, 3x4 front Ventura Place Three, 3x4 front 4 CS$$$ buildings CITITOWER Guadalajara, 4x6 left corner Hotel Presidente Guadalajara, 5x5 front Hotel Presidente Intercontinental Mexico City, 4x2 front Carlton Hotel Johannesburg, 4x2 front 7 CO$$ buildings AON Center, 3x4 front Carlton Center, 3x4 front Carlton Hotel Building, 4x2 front 345 California Center, 6x3 front One Kansas City Place, 4x3 front Everett McKinley Dirksen Building (Federal Center Chicago), 3x8 front John C. Kluczynski Building (Federal Center Chicago), 6x3 front 10 CO$$$ buildings One Metropolitan Square, 6x5 right corner Gas Company Tower, 6x3 front Capella Tower, 4x8 left corner Park Building (Capella Tower small building), 4x2 front Chanin Building, 4x4 front Commerzbank Tower, 4x5 front IBM-Marathon Tower, 5x9 right corner Denver Place, 6x8 front First National Bank Tower, 5x5 front Torre Multiva, 4x3 front Detailed stats for all of the buildings can be found in the enclosed README. Install Instructions Pick either the vanilla or the CAM version and drop the files in your My Documents/SimCity 4/Plugins folder. To uninstall, simply delete the files from your hard drive. Dependencies Main Building(s) This list contains all of the buildings used in this set. Each subfolder corresponds to a particular building/set of buildings - if you don't have a particular building feel free to delete the corresponding subfolder. Cititower Guadalajara Denver Place Hotel Presidente Intercontinental Mexico City Commerzbank Tower IBM Marathon (1250 René-Lévesque) Hotel Presidente Guadalajara Torre Multiva AON Center Gas Company Tower Carlton Center Carlton Hotel Johannesburg One Metropolitan Square One Kansas City Place First National Bank Tower Capella Tower Ventura Place Three Ventura Place Two Ventura Place One Federal Center Chicago Chanin Building 345 California Center Mods (CAM version only) You will only need these if you're using the CAM version.

I want a Megatall skyscraper in my city
megacitycreator posted a topic in SC4 Mac UsersHello, Members of the sim community. I would like a Megatall Skyscraper in My City. I'd like it to be High Wealth Residential with over 35000 people inside the building, or High Wealth Commercial Office with more than 60000 jobs. I would like it to be a stage 15 and I'd like some of the latest design work. I'd like it for Simcity 4 Deluxe Version 220.127.116.118, Just like the Shanghai Tower or The Burj Dubai. I also want Low wealth Megatalls with over 40000 people inside them. Probably a 7x7 is enough. I have already edited two of the towers with the SC4 tool I have in my virtual machine, so I need those buildings. How can I create them?

11 King Street West
kellydale2003 posted a file in SimCity 4 Buildings
Version 1.0
11,330 DownloadsI (Kellydale2003) present to you 11 King Street West! HISTORY 11 King Street West is a real life building located in the Financial District of Downtown Toronto, Canada. The building is over 66m tall with 18 stories and was completed in 1965! Yes that's right, 1965! The building (obviously ahead of it's time) is located in the beautiful neighbourhood of "Old Toronto". The building is mainly occupied by Telus, but other leasers occupy other floors. NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR This project in particular was very challenging for the night lighting! Figuring out a new method of creating realistic lights I had trouble reducing rendering time to export this little guy. Fortunately all I needed to do was reduce the number of lights in the building in order to make a successful export. I (hopefully) appropriately named this new method of lighting Photometric Light Displacement Mapping (PLDM). PLDM uses traditional aspects of 3dsmax... photometric lights & displacement maps. Combining the two is very heavy on rendering memory for computers. So reducing rendering time was a challenge. The advantage to PLDM is the realistic differed lighting from floor to floor, "inside-floor" perspective, realistic colors of lights, and an overall better shadow/light effect as opposed to traditional SimCity 4 lighting. PLDM reduces the illusion of "fake" lighting. Traditional SimCity 4 lighting calls for self-illuminated planes or boxes with textures. PLDM gives the illusion you're looking into a real floor of a building and seeing furniture (displacement maps) with realistic lighting (photometric lights). Unfortunately PLDM's major disadvantages are high rendering times, and HD zoom breaks the illusion (most of the time). So far (in my opinion), it has been the best lighting method introduced to SimCity 4 for various reasons (modelling speed being the best reason). Hope you enjoy PLDM's first debut! , Kellydale2003 No dependencies (best self policy ever on simtropolis). ^Real life comparison of 11 King Street West in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Upcoming Skyscraper Builder/Simulator Games
OcramsRzr posted a topic in Gaming TalkThere are no fewer than 5 indie games under development designed to let the player build skyscrapers: Project Highrise, Block'hood, IsoTower, Skylimit Tycoon, and Cloud City, and they inspired me to start back up on OcramTower in a way with minimal overlap with them. Here is a breakdown of the games (listed in approximated chronological order until release): Block'hood is an arcology builder/simulator with a Minecraft-esque appearance and strong ecological focus. It released on March 10. I describe it as a puzzle game where resource supplies are supposed to be balanced. Project Highrise has its own thread. Long story short, a high quality SimTower clone with a 1960s Chicago style/theme and campaigns/events was found to be so promising that Kalypso picked up the title. IsoTower is the labour of love of a lone developer (Todd B). It used HD isometric graphics before being rebuilt but has a better simulation now, an Art Deco themed UI, and the next major release will be available soon enough. The developer is diligent and hard-working and posts updates seemingly daily on facebook. Skylimit Tycoon is a full 3D tower simulator with modding tools completed already (to make content creation easier for the developers) with a ton of fun new features but still in the early Alpha stage. Cloud City is sort of like a dystopian SimTower with full 3D graphics (but only 1 layer like classic SimTower). OcramTower's environment is similar to that of Project Highrise because it is vector based and it will feature a classic view. Its construction is done slice by slice, however, OcramTower will have depth, making it functionally similar to multiple highrises in a row if played in Classic View. The most useful (besides multi-floor problems like checking of which floors have utilities and how well elevators work) view will be Top-Down View, which will look similar to architectural drafts of floor plans (in color, with changes from people in real time). Top-down view will be freely rotatable because of the ease of such transformations on SVG. Classic View and Isometric View will only have zoom (which stay sharp at all resolutions and levels of zoom) and will need different graphics for every angle (4 isometric angles) and slice (most rooms are 2 slices deep, hallways are 1 slice deep, the biggest room will be 10 slices). One slice is 4 meters deep, one tile is 1 meter wide, one storey is 3.9 meters tall (including space between floors). OhTees cannot move through rooms besides rare exceptions (like public amenities), which means you must either build hallways or leave unfinished floor space between rooms. Better elevators will unlock with higher star levels and eventually time. My goal is to make--at first--a functionally 3D Yoot Tower clone with 2D SVG graphics (rendered as PNG below) and evolve it into a campaign to become the most powerful real estate magnate in the world by manipulating markets and politics using your vast wealth, influence, and business skills. So far, I have a dead-end prealpha 3, new art, and handwritten code snippets and flowcharts for prealpha 4. 1 Bedroom Apartment top-down view 1 Bedroom Apartment classic view 2 Bedroom family condo top-down view Fast Coffee Shop (this unlocks from the get-go, luxury cafes unlock at 3 stars) Office Reception Room top-down (low-rent occupants)

52 - Believe in Magic
MilitantRadical posted a City Journal entry in Ionica"If you want it, you can have it, all you gotta do it believe in magic." That's what they said while building Sierra, this small but beautiful Zone that looks out onto Diamond Lake. It is called Diamond Lake because legend has it that on a clear night when the stars shine their brightest you can dip any object into its waters and it will become encrusted with jewels. A little bit of music to set the mood... Very expensive Ionican real estate that looks out onto Diamond Lake. The view is amazing, you'll see. How 'bout a round of Tennis on one of Ionica's first Raised Transit Parks? The Twin Lions of Sierra, two black onyx lion statues, still hold their guard after hundreds of years. The beautiful blue Talavera Office Park looks down on the Twin Lions and out onto Diamond Lake. Executive offices must be sweet! If you come to Sierra don't forget to stop at Benny's Bistro Barge. The food is great, inexpensive, and the view is amazing. Of course the main attraction which can't be missed is the Black Stones Lighthouse. You can admire its beauty from land or you can charter a tour to take you on the water if you want to see it up close. I suggest going on the water because you can also get a great view of the marine life. If you're lucky you already live in the Orion Tower and have the best view of the entire lake. When the sun goes down you can understand why the builders of Sierra believed in magic. The best time to get on the water is when the light of the moon or the bright stars pierce through the water of the lake. Only then can you truly appreciate how the Legend of Diamond Lake came to be. Been to Benny's Bistro Barge for lunch? Well you need to go there again for dinner. After the sun and a bit of booze flows has set the atmosphere becomes a bit more lively. Their dinner menu is also amazing. If you're up for more adventure head down to a bar near the Twin Lions, if not get a bus. Workin' late at my job in the Talavera Office Park to get a promotion so that I can have one of those sweet executive offices! Now that we've had a few drinks lets go for a Tennis rematch. Comments, suggestions, and questions are always appreciated. Thanks for visiting. Moerp: It's just awesome, you really brought kind of a exotic feeling in your pictures, just great! Glad you got the feeling I was trying to convey. TekindusT: Amazing update and amazing pictures! Thanks Tek. KonstantinII: I just like this feeling of a dense city. Even though everything is tightly packed together it does not seem out of place. Looks like in these shops items can be bought for a price much cheaper than in malls Avalon. Also you can use these futuristic asian buildings for this district. Thanks for passing along those buildings. I actually have some of them. I may have used them here but you just can't see them from these angles. Gugu3: Very nice Chinatown you have there! Nice, thanks. freemunchies:Great job! All those buildings go really well together! They were all carefully selected. Thanks. Schulmanator: Nice! Looks good and quite real. Sweet, I kinda took a page from Bastet and gigius. MatTSW: I can feel this Chinese chaos. And this guy w CCCP blouse... Heheh, yeah that guy. He was looking pretty dazed so i managed to snap a few shots of him just standing there like that. Fox: Fantastic looking Chinatown area.. very envious. A feeling I've experienced when visiting your CJ. Thanks. jmsepe: Nice Chinatown there! Where did you get those buildings, btw? Tough question cause there are a lot of buildings but you can find some of the newest Japanese W2W buildings here. tankmank: Lovely Chinatown, i like the use of SC4 pictures and self taken photographs it adds a lot more to the update, transporting you to the streets. It is a shame that in SC4 you can't go down and get street views of your city. Lord Branham: Fantastic work, really reminds me of the Chinatown in San Francisco! Ah yes, I didn't realize that. The front gate is kind of reminiscent of SF's Chinatown, except it isn't on a slope. Schriefer: Nice Chinatown! It's really beautiful! Thanks. SimRico: Was planning my trip to Ionica for months! Glad to have added this stop to my Weekly Around The World Tour of Featured Cities! I am off to some night-life fun and see you at the net sun! Hope you had your fill of really amazing food in Ionica's Chinatown.
56 - Come Tomorrow
MilitantRadical posted a City Journal entry in IonicaIt is still spring but the citizens of Ionica are yearning for those hot summer days and even hotter summer nights. Why can't it just come tomorrow? Well it can. Just use the Chronometric Reassignment Matrix App on your phone. Et voila! You have now been transported to summer in Ionica. Just don't interact with anyting or you could create a paradox that will unravel the very fabric of space time. (images now in 1080p) feeroz123: Another big one ! So many lights, so many buildings ! Looks very well planned. Brilliant work !! Where can I get the blue building having 'CIS' written on it? Thanks feeroz. That is Ill Tonkso's CIS Tower Manchester. Tonraq:I like it very much Thanks Tonraq, stay tuned. Schriefer:Wow! Another amazing update, as always, it's just perfect. Glad you liked it Shriefer, thanks. tankmank: Another great update, once again using BATs i never would have thought of using, they work all so well. You're making me blush, thanks. NielsC007: Looks great! Thanks Niels. Gugu3: Nice! Thank you Gugu. TekindusT: I never thought you could fit that "gothic" skyscraper in Ionica's skyline, but you have proven me wrong. BTW, I would say that this lighthouse is a bit pointless, among the kilowatts of light your skyscrapers are emitting! Keep the magic, man! When I saw NoFunk's One Detroit Center I just knew I had to fit it in somewhere. Glad you liked it. Yeah the lighthouse is useless, it is a vestige from a time before skyscrapers. andisart: Amazing! Sweet, thanks. sejr99999: thank you this is an excellent urban area with lots of nature to enjoy as well looks like a large city that is very livable with an interesting mix of building styles. Thanks for your support. Huston: The pictures in this update seem especially colorful, and the vividness of the corals in the baywater really adds to the scene Thanks, I'm really fond of the corals these days. Fox: Great job .. love the water front and the editing .. magnificent!! Thank you very much Fox. gigius76: Looking at these pictures you can say only one thing: it was done by Militantradical! An unmistakable style! Nice, thanks gigius.
58 - Archon
MilitantRadical posted a City Journal entry in IonicaArchon is a little Zone located at the Northwest corner of Ionica's densest area, Avalon. It is an ideal location for people who commute to the CBD for work but want to live in a place that is slighty more relaxed and easy going. Archon is also the home of two of Ionica's biggest news media organizations: the Herald Sun (a national print journal), and the CBC (Cosmic Broadcast Community, an intergalactic news agency). Tall and luxurious condo buildings line the waterfront and offer spectacular views for those lucky enough to live there. The Yacht Club is open to all, but those with memberships get discounts and VIP service. The marinas are all public but the majority of boats docked there are privately owned. Like all the Zones of Ionica, Archon is filled with parks where people can escape the oppressive concrete jungle as well as bring those boisterous kids or pets out to drain some of that energy. A complete view of the Marina. When the sun goes down Archon is famous for its Yacht parties. It is also famous for its Yacht party fines and lawsuits. Ionica has fairly relaxed laws when it comes to partying and drinking in public. However, the environmental laws concerning pollution, especially of water are very strict. Quite a few Yacht owners who have held large parties on the water have payed out heft sums to the city for throwing trash into the water. That money goes to keeping the water as clean as possible. Nights in Archon aren't just for partying, there is also a lot of business that goes down. Many of the biggest CEOs in working in Avalon bring clients, partners, and guests to discuss and negotiate deals here. Some of the most significant mergers and aqusitions made in Ionica are rumored to have been brokered in penthouse suites on the top floors of high-rises in Archon. Comments, suggestions, and questions are always appreciated. Thanks for visiting. TekindusT, Pwel28, Terring, simcityplayer15, Vitor13, gigius76, Schulmanator, sarthakknight, elavery, Tonraq Thanks for your comments and support. Stay tuned. Richie99: Nice pictures and the city must have taken lots of effort to achieve. What seawalls do you use? Thanks. Those are JENX Paris Quais de Seine seawalls. jmsepe: I suddenly ran out of words again. I could feel how tedious to make these updates are and they are definitely worth it. Tedious makes it sound like it's no fun. I would call it meticulous. Thanks. Roman_Samudra: Why a LNG Tanker ships manage to squeeze into city canal? In another words.... fabulous.... Technically it isn't a canal, it is more like a river that goes out to the sea. Thanks. tankmank: Looking great, and nice contrast between the skyscrapers and the ecological community. I was a bit worried it would clash. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks. RepublicMaster: I love the night shots, the water effects are spectacular! Yeah I'm having a bit too much fun with that effect right now. Thanks KonstantinII: I like how you have actual pictures of your city for the header and replies. I think you should make a different picture of city for the header every time from now on. By co-incident or not, I had a dream that I was driving on the highway through Ionica. Maybe I actually teleported myself? I would love to make a banner for each entry but that is a lot of work cause it is actually kind of hard to find pictures that are just right. I'll be changing it a bit more often, but not every entry. Thanks. zlotka: Lookja very well. Good job What is the tower with blue lights on top? I believe you're asking about the Equity Tower.
61 - Random One
MilitantRadical posted a City Journal entry in IonicaFollowing Huston's example I'd like to share a few pics that I didn't have room for in my entries. (Don't worry Huston, this won't become a regular thing for me) Regular followers of this CJ will recognize Avalon in the pic below. I still have a lot of work to get that tile to 100% - it is tough balancing out residential and commercial. This church is in my tile with the Blitzball stadium. I've shown it before, but now the park and sea walls are totally different. If you go to my entry Opening Night Blitz you can see what I'm talking about. I'm currently experimenting with industrial seaports and the pic below is from a small test tile. Tell me what you think. The heliports in Avalon's industrial district. I originally had only 2 heliports but the demand for an airport was so high I had to add another one. Thank god I had the space for it. This small industrial area is from the tile where I'm testing out seaports. I could use some more futuristic industrial buildings if you know of any. The Huang Yaoshi Opera House neatly packed in amongst some W2W buildings. A rainy day for the residents of Peach Blossom Bay. Here is another example of re-made parks from my Opening Night Blitz entry. I changed it so that the park would have a more symmetrical pattern. This is a picture I made for my Wild for the Night entry but it was kind of redundant so I left it out. Comments, suggestions, and questions are always appreciated. Thanks for visiting. VicRusty, Neto Dari, fan o SC4, suomi2005, simlink, Titanicbuff. Thanks for your comments and support. Stay tuned. Xander Dax:WOW amazing, i love your marinas....i can never get the terraforming right when i try to make marinas for some reason. It can be tricky at first. I think having a Slope Mod helps and using the road tool to level out terrain is also key. ggamgus: Fantastic! I love your photoshop process! Glad you enjoyed it. Good to see you back ggamgus. sarthakknight: frickin mosses its fantastic !!! btw can you make a photoshop tutorial please the one i found there the process of layering and stuff isn't explained in detail?? Haven't forgotten about your request sarthakknight. Give me some more time. Thanks. BlackEpic: What mod?[is it a mod] did he use on the bay's edges (The wall like thing)[you may call me noobish, that's true anyway and i dont know what it's called] Could you be a bit more specific? westy177: Wow you fit so much in that medium city tile :0 Your photoshopping are impressive, I fire it up and get overwhelmed by the sheer variety of filters and effects kudos to you mate Photoshop can be a bit intimidating at first but it is easy to figure out by watching tutorials on youtube and experimenting. Thanks. TekindusT: We may know the technique, but we will never get that magic hand you have... Anyways, thanks for the tips! You make me blush so much Tek! Thanks. weixc812: Forgive me, my friend. I feel the before pictures look a bit better than the afters. There're too many skyscrapers in the after picture that it lacks hierarchy. mM suggestion is to control the height of the city, with limited tall buildings seated in important districts. Besides, your city is perfect and invincible. If you look at my city as a whole, not just this tile you can see there is more of a hierarchy of buildings. However, my city is supposed to be a super dense futuristic metropolis packed with skyscrapers. Huston: More neat stuff huh? Really loving the before and after photoshop shots as well. It's interesting to see SimCity 4 raw Ionica It was an entry in one of your CJs that inspired me to do a before and after Photoshop thing. Thanks. KonstantinII: I really like the city layout Hey KonstantinII, thanks. Benedict: Fantastic tutorial - what a cool idea to use a nebula, rippled, for water at night. And well done - in the face of some extreme competition, you've held on to the top spot on BTT for a second week. Sure has been tough getting up to the top this year, but the competition is great motivation to do bigger and better things. daTSchikinhed: wow, this is beautiful. I love those marinas. I followed up on the links that you posted for the dependencies on the Marinas. Only ones I couldn't find were Youcef's props, hopefully that won't be too important. SC4 needs more yachts and larger boats. We got huge ships, and we have a plethora of smaller boats, but not very many midsized boats of 50+ft or more. Also curious, what water mod are you using? I use the Brigantine (sp?), but it doesn't have a very good transparency depth. If you looks on the second page of the comment section in the Med Marina CJ entry you will find Youcef's props. I'm using the Brigantine water mod. The water looks like it has transparency and depth because it is quite shallow.

Good morning traders,
The USDX support bounce that we've been seeing has allowed the majors to all pull back from their highs.
GBP/USD is one such pair that has pulled back following the latest round of US Dollar strength and there are some quality levels on offer for savvy traders. Let's take a look at some of them here below, starting with the weekly:
GBP/USD Weekly:
Click on chart to see a larger view.
As you can see on the higher time frame chart, we have a very obvious bearish trend line sloping down from the highs in 2014. I've chosen to draw the line by connecting the first two touches, but there are literally 10+ ways you could draw it and they'd all give you very different results.
The fact that there is a lot of spikes and the whole Brexit shenanigans (oh yeah, remember that thing?) thrown up in the middle of the trend, I have chosen to treat resistance here as more of a zone rather than a hard level.
If you're a reader of this blog then you know that I preach the fact that higher time frame trend lines are very subjective. This is because the slightest difference in how you've drawn the line, can literally mean hundreds of pips difference once you zoom in. This particular line is the perfect example of that subjectiveness.
With price sitting right on top of trend line resistance on the weekly, I'm taking the view that the level has not yet broken out, and our trading bias should be to the downside.
GBP/USD 4 Hourly:
Click on chart to see a larger view.
After zooming into an intraday chart, you can see we have a classic rising wedge pattern. We have the counter-trend buying that the textbook tells us to look out for and now price is coming off it's highs which co-incides with the weekly trend line.
With that higher time frame confluence, I've drawn some short term support levels that we can look to sell into if any subsequent rallies start to show signs of weakness.
Best of probabilities to you!

Holiday truly a celebration into the Christian faith that has been marked pretty much every 20 fifth time of December from year to year. Religionfacts1 talk about Christmas time as, the occasion in the start of Jesus through virgin Mary, that is definitely found on Dec 25 by Roman Catholics and Protestants. The celebration represents the right time when Jesus Christ, the founding father of the faith was born. It is really not accepted particularly when Christ came to be, thereby this date is simply not Christ true birthday bash. The Catholic Encyclopedia2 intends to clarify the cause of an time plus celebrations associated with the cycle, and associated this special event to pagan avenues.
Andrew MacGowan3, in his written piece How December 25 evolved into Christmas published at Bible The past On a daily basis, claims, Christmas, the debate will go, can be described as spin-from from these pagan photovoltaic celebrations. Quickly Christians purposely opted for these dates to let the pass on of X-mas and Christianity within the Roman planet, depending on this idea: If Christmas day checked exactly like a pagan holiday getaway, much more pagans might possibly be ready to accept the getaway while the God whose childbirth it celebrated. MacGowan tends to relate the time frame with pagan holiday season, and explains the fact that the method to obtain the time might have been to appeal the pagans to participate in the Christian trust, so conversion.

Charles Dixon (born January 17, 1980) is a British professional wrestler, better known by his ring name, Mark Fletcher. He is the current owner of the K-Wrestling Alliance:Newcastle, and currently wrestles in Professional RPG Wrestling. He has a career match record of 28-8-1.
Early career
Mark Fletcher's career started in late June 2006, after hearing about a man called Tommy Cornell. After a brief time of thought, and a bit of research about Cornell, Mark Fletcher set out looking for his first fed, which he found in KWA, then run by Craig Randall.
K-Wrestling Alliance:Newcastle
KWA - Randall Version
Mark Fletcher had a successful career debut on July 2, 2006, where he defeated the rest of the KWA roster to earn himself a shot at the KWA Championship at the end of the month. The next week, Mark Fletcher joined a new faction, consisting of KWA Tag Team Champions, The Hardcore Messiah and Hobo, dubbing themselves The KWA's Most Dominant Team. However, this faction was short lasted as the KWA Owner, Craig Randall, or Mr. Johnson, forced them to split up, and this led to some repercussions from the 3 men, Hobo even walking out, and Mark Fletcher and The Hardcore Messiah being forced into a storyline feud, which neither men really wanted. However, this was the point where Mark Fletcher became face for the first ever time in his career, and went unbeaten from that point.
After the Pay Per View, Mark Fletcher started a feud with the debuting, and a supposedly KWA Legend-in-the-making, in the form of Tei Almasy, who was the adopted son of KWA Legend, Phoenix Almasy. Mark Fletcher and Tei Almasy were thrown into a match straight away, and this led to Mark Fletcher walking out on KWA, and mainly because of the management. He believed that Mark Fletcher versus Tei Almasy is a Pay Per View standard match, but it wasn't even the Main Event on the weekly card. Mark Fletcher and Tei Almasy also had a lot of hatred for each other at this time, over some comments which Tei Almasy had made, questioning Mark Fletcher's commitment towards the fed.
With Mark Fletcher out of action for a few weeks, Tei Almasy was gaining momentum, but this stopped when Mark Fletcher returned in a Triple Threat Number 1 Contender's Match, which was originally only supposed to be Tei Almasy versus The Hardcore Messiah, until Mark Fletcher was a surprise entry into the match, and he defeated both men, pinning Tei Almasy aftera failed double team from him and The Hardcore Messiah. The week later, Mark Fletcher faced off with Disciple X, the KWA Television Champion, in which proved to be the last ever KWA match, as Craig Randall got tired of it, and closed the promotiom shortly before Mark Fletcher got his chance against Don Paulo Vincente, which gave Mark Fletcher the drive for his next venture.
KWA - Fletcher Version
Mark Fletcher re-opened KWA in September 2006, shortly after Craig Randall had closed the original. The owner was kept a secret, as a lot of former KWA superstars, including a few new ones joined up pretty much straight away, including Mark Fletcher. Feeling threatened, Craig Randall launched a takeover bid as Mr. Johnson, which new KWA Owner, Mark Fletcher, and KWA World Heavyweight Champion, strongly answered at the first Pay Per View of the new era, Comfortably Numb. With him becoming new owner, he handed the title to the man who was the last KWA Superstar to survive in the Gauntlet for the Gold match, and fomer KWA's Most Dominant Team member, The Hardcore Messiah. With Mark Fletcher as the new owner, he started to take a back seat in terms of competition, and started to concentrate on the business side of things.
Fletcher got himself involved with an incident involving Streets Wilson, who had attacked and stabbed a man on the street. Mark Fletcher first donned a mask, and defeated Streets Wilson in the ring as a punishment for his actions, but Streets still had to go to court. Although he was tried, Mark Fletcher went to the courts to save him from being put in jail, which he successfully negotiated. This lead to a feud with Streets Wilson's tag team partner, Bubba Josh, and Mark Fletcher defeated Bubba Josh in a Clockwork Orange House Of Fun match at Survival Of The Fittest.
Not wanting to be defeated, Streets Wilson and Bubba Josh attacked, and set fire to former KWA World Heavyweight Champion, and Hall of Famer, The Hardcore Messiah, thus dragging on their feud with Mark Fletcher further. Mark Fletcher got revenge the following week, by attacking both men and hitting his two finishers on each of them. The week later, Streets Wilson and Bubba Josh were defeated by Mark Fletcher and Oskorei in an Elimination Triple Threat match, also involving Robby Narrow and Cory Thunder. During the match Bubba Josh joined Insane INC, thus ending the feud.
At Road To Glory, Mark Fletcher defeated Matt Acid, who was undefeated until that night. After the match, Insane INC hit the ring and attacked Mark Fletcher and Matt Acid, but were fended off when Oskorei also came in to help. One week later, KWA closed, and the "Fletcher Era" ended with the KWA's Most Dominant Team reuniting in the ring for one last time.
KWA:N The Rebirth
In late February 2007, Mark Fletcher re-opened the KWA with a new name, new ideas, and new general direction. As well as some KWA alumni, some new superstars joined up as well.
Universal Wrestling Federation
Mark Fletcher debuted in the UWF at Tidal Wave, where he captured the UWF Universal Championship in a one-night tournament, where he defeated "Hollywood" Rip Boulder in the finals. Shortly after that, Mark Fletcher formed a faction with UWF Extreme Champion, Streets Wilson and Rick "The Dick" Stevens, calling themselves Revolution. joining up after Mark Fletcher defeated Rick Stevens to defend his UWF Universal Championship. Two weeks later, and Mark Fletcher became the victim of some attacks from a masked man, who announced that he would face off with Mark Fletcher for the UWF Universal Championship at Cage-a-Rama. The week before, that man revealed himself to be Joe Morse, and that they would face off in a Thunderdome Cage Match. Mark Fletcher defeated Joe Morse after Edward Sinclair was forced to throw in the towel for Morse.
Revolution started to become more and more unsettled, as Mark Fletcher prepared for his next title defence, a Fortress of Doom match, where 2 teams of 3 compete, and the person who captures the flag becomes the UWF Universal Champion. After more victories for Fletcher, he disappeared off the scene after a tag team match with Streets Wilson, but he returned the week before Danger Zone, where he attacked Streets Wilson, disbanded Revolution, and promised to defeat Streets Wilson. At Danger Zone, Mark Fletcher defended his UWF Universal Championship for the third time, taking on the team of Joe Morse, Rip Boulder and Two Timin Tom, with Demon and Sabre on his team.
The following week on HeatWave, Mark Fletcher lost his UWF Universal Championship to Demon after interference from his former stablemate, Streets Wilson. That defeat, which proved to be Mark Fletcher's first ever defeat in the UWF brought a great change in Fletcher's character, bringing out a darker side to him. In the weeks to come, Fletcher experimented with different methods, before finally re-creating himself as "The Oskorei" Mark Fletcher. Only three weeks later, Mark Fletcher defeated Demon to win his second UWF Universal Championship. At Season's Beatings, Fletcher defeated long-time rival Streets Wilson in a Texas Death Match to capture his first UWF Extreme Championship.
International Wrestling Xtreme Alliance
Mark Fletcher debuted in IWXA in mid December 2006, teaming up with Bill Graves and Daimon Viper to take on Streets Wilson, Chinje Nagawa and Troy. His team was victorious, and Fletcher went onto his first Pay Per View match at Road To Hell, defeating Graves and Genesis to become the Number 1 Contender to Streets Wilson's IWXA World Heavyweight Championship. Mark Fletcher defeated Streets Wilson on the Christmas Day edition of Inferno to capture the title in only his third match in the company.
Professional RPG Wrestling
Mark debuted in PRW on New Year's Day, 2007, where, accompanied by his brother, Shane Fletcher, where he instantly became PRW Cyanide Champion. The pair, recently re-united before debuting, currently have their sights set on the tag team division, where they are currently the #2 Contenders.
Personal life
Mark Fletcher is currently dating Sarah Thompson, a girl who he's known since he went to school with her in Newcastle, England.

About this title
Learn the ancient and fascinating game of Chinese Chess with this expert guide.
Chinese chess, or "elephant chess," has intrigued the powerful and the quizzical for centuries. Although its rules are similar to the well-known Western game, subtle and fascinating variations must be mastered in order to understand the strategies it requires. A great way to learn Chinese Chess, this book is simple enough for Chess beginners but contains a wealth of information and tips that experienced players will find useful as well.
In Chinese Chess, author H.T. Lau explains the game's fundamentals—the rules, the board, and the basics with dozens of insightful diagrams. With the aid of 170 diagrams, Chinese Chess walks players through the board, the movement and values of the pieces, basic rules for capturing and defeating an opponent, techniques and game winning tactics. Once he's covered the basics, Lau introduces advanced tactics, methods for escaping difficult positions, and cunning strategies for winning.
This book includes eighty mid- and end-game exercises designed to sharpen playing skills and strategy, and concludes with two appendices devoted to the elegantly constructed games found in The Secret Inside the Orange and The Plum-Blossom Meter, two classic seventeenth-century works on Chinese chess.

Flagging it up
An erstwhile editor of mine was wont to opine: "Let's run it up the flagpole and see who salutes."
By this, he meant that we were free to take a bit of a risk with an item.
Trite, I know. Perhaps he'd seen Citizen Kane as a youth and never quite recovered. He'd have worn a green eyeshade if he thought he could get away with it.
However, I remember this particular editor with notable fondness. (I am, of course, harking back to the days when newspaper content was driven by editors and not the current marketing fad.)
I thought of him when I pondered the minor controversy over Caledonian flag-flying.
Fresh from leave (Crete, very warm, thanks for asking), I thought I'd investigate which flag we should run up our official flagpoles - and who might be inclined to salute.
Flags, apparently, are devolved. Holyrood rules on standards, woven and behavioural. Which means the SNP executive can issue guidance on which banner, with or without a strange device, should be flown – and when.
If, that is, they're all that bothered.
There is a distinct lassitude on this issue in the environs on the first minister.
That is, of course, deliberate. (A Salmond doesn't do coincidence or accident.)
Mr Salmond, of course, wants to furl the Union Flag once and for all in Scotland. He is against the Union.
Consequently, he is against its emblems.
However, he has calculated that you do not haul down a flag by fretting about the banner itself.
Politically, you focus on substance, not symbol.
Hence, the signals from St Andrews House are that ministers aren't all that concerned.
They'll fly the Saltire on government buildings, of course in line with guidance introduced by Jack McConnell.
They'll fly the Union Flag on 18 designated days, mostly connected with the Royal Family - again in line with established guidance.
They'll look again at whether the Union Flag should take precedence over the Saltire on such days. (Apparently, that simply means which flag is on the left as you look at the front of a building.)
They point out, further, that this issue was prompted by Gordon Brown's desire to enhance the visibility of the Union Flag.
It was not, in short, an issue raised by Nationalists.
Of course, they protest - or, rather, demur - too much. For substantial swathes of the SNP, symbols matter greatly. Nationalist ministers are sensitive to that.
However, they're equally sensitive to their external image.
They don't want to be painted into a petty and petulant row, not of their making, over woven cloth, however historically and emotionally significant.
Run this issue up the flagpole, by all means. But don't expect Alex Salmond to salute.

Welcome back Brian, there was a lot of political news unreported in Scotland while you were gone. I am of the belief that a minority nationalist government should not take this decision over which flag to fly, surely this is for the people to decide, is it not? What's wrong with having both flags flying to satisfy us all?
- 2.
- At 04:54 PM on 30 Jul 2007,
Surely the government has more important matters to deal with rather than engaging in propoganda?
- 3.
- At 05:17 PM on 30 Jul 2007,
The SNP Govt didn't raise the issue. Gordon Brown is the antagonist here presumably hoping to get some reaction from Alex Salmond which he can use against him. Intelligently AS hasn't risen to the bait.
The problem with Brown is that he's playing with the wrong type of patriotism. Real patriotism includes supporting your country's economy yet the Chancellor recently told the FT that he doesn't believe in economic patriotism.
Sums up Labour perfectly. Their patriotism is all spin and no substance.

Maybe in return Westminster could fly the EU flag more prominently than the Union Flag. We could start off with Napoleon's birthday and then add a few more based upon the public reaction.

- At 07:33 PM on 30 Jul 2007,
That "minority nationalist government" IS the GOVERNMENT, Sandymac ! and are perfectly entitled to make such a decision.
Given G Brown's enthusiasm for promoting all thing 'British' please explain why he doesn't think it neccessary to have a UK Central Bank, but stick with the Bank of England ! should the people decide this also or should Gordo have his way ?

- At 08:54 PM on 30 Jul 2007,
Glad you enjoyed your holiday Brian.
I've always had a healthy suspicion of flags, and those who worry over whether to fly them and which to fly. I think it goes back to my studies of Franco-era Spain. To be honest, it's a pretty trivial matter to me, and I daresay to most of the people of Scotland.
I think that the UK and Scottish Governments should be concentrating on more convincing, concrete methods of creating a sense of community and identity.
- 7.
- At 08:58 PM on 30 Jul 2007,
Indeed welcome back Brian. I missed your patter and common sense.I am of the belief that the nationalist government ..(with the party that won the most seats ) should indeed decide this devolved issue. And according to a poll published in one Sunday newspaper most people agree....

- At 09:24 PM on 30 Jul 2007,
At least you have some sort of choice (as a nation). As ans Englishman I would much prefer the Cross of St George to fly on government and public buildings in my country. Alas the prime minister denies my country exists.
- 9.
- At 10:41 PM on 30 Jul 2007,
Personally, I would rather just see the Saltire flying in Scotland. As a Scot first and foremost the Union Jack has not meaning for me. The problem I have with the Union Jack is that the only country flag visible is St. George's Cross, can see no sign of the Saltire or the Welsh flag.
- 10.
- At 11:12 PM on 30 Jul 2007,
I just returned from a holiday in Spain including Catalonia. In Barcelona, they fly both the Catalonian flag and the Spanish flag over buildings belonging to the local government. Why can't Scotland do that with the Union Jack? It would be a fair compromise to use both flags. Yes it is only a flag, but it is an important expression of national identity and we should not let Salmond have it all his own way. Until Scotland votes for independance, the Union Jack should remain a visible symbol that the union still exists.

- At 11:53 PM on 30 Jul 2007,
Hi Brian this is my first comment and it wont be my last, anyway as an young SCOT
i would like to see Scotland get independence and i dont think alot of young people about my age care about a flag and escpecially the union jack as i dont like do call myself British as i am SCOTTISH.
- 12.
- At 12:39 AM on 31 Jul 2007,
Flying both flags would be a very sensible idea. We could then finally prove that its possible to be both proud of Scotland & Britain.
Some SNP, erm, person will be offended by this. So I'll point out now, I'm half English, half Scottish and proud of both, and Britain.
Can't argue with that.
- 14.
- At 12:59 AM on 31 Jul 2007,
Welcome back Brian, a lot went unsaid in your absence.
Saltire/Union flag; personally I think we should fly both together.
What about Jack scuttling off with his tail between his legs, truth or scare?
It must be noted that many of the 'English votes only for English MPs' are quoting Gordon Brown's Scotsman piece as a corner stone of their reasonining; crazy or what?
- 15.
- At 02:37 AM on 31 Jul 2007,
Dear Brian,
Glad you enjoyed Crete. I just thought I would say that when you say things like 'A Salmond doesn't do coincidence or accident' that makes me inclined to support him. Much like when Brown was given his 'Stalinist' image - while holding people to account is extremely important, nice to have someone who is decisive.
Re the flags, as a pro-independent thinker I believe Salmond has got his tactics absolutely correct. Symbols are important, but if you change the substance, the symbols change as well.

Flag or no Flag or perhaps both Flags,Well I for one am pleased this is not being turned into a political issue, stupidly fighting over symbolism and wasting parliaments time. Alex S has got it right, The union exists and to show our part in its history on 18 out of 365 days a year we fly the union flag. The rest, our own flag, the Saltire is not a flag of independance it is the Scottish national flag from one of the four kingdoms in the uk. Wether or not we vote for independence (given the chance id like to think we would)Fly both flags with same priority. Independance or not enough Scots over the years have had a hand in the developement of the UK, the union will forever be a part of our history whatever our future holds
- 19.
- At 04:04 PM on 31 Jul 2007,
Nationalism can be good and can be not good. Too often it is used as a weapon. I think the European, Union Jack and Saltire flags should be in use. The Saltire for local matters or only Scottish matters, the Union Jack for the matters of the whole country and the European one for global matters.
- 20.
- At 04:28 PM on 31 Jul 2007,
I'm not one to get too hung up on flags but why can't we fly both and indeed the European flag as well just as they do outside the Scottish Parliament? Granted the SNP do not want to be part of the UK and Euro-skeptics do not want to be part of the EU but there are many Scots (the majority if we go by the recent election results) who don't see these identities as being mutually exclusive and are happy to describe themselves as Scottish, British and European. The SNP need to learn that not all Scots are as parochial as they are.

- At 06:19 PM on 31 Jul 2007,
is there not an EU directive that states the EU flag must be flown alongside the national flag? one might also wonder why Glasgow city chamber fly a Commonwealth bid banner instead of any national or international flag?
- 23.
- At 07:04 PM on 31 Jul 2007,
As you write, his is hardly a SNP started squabble but one begun by Pseudo-Prime-Minister Brown wrapping himself in the Union Flag.
I am very surprised to be informed by you that the SNP (Exec at least) are playing this matter down as you failed to mention the further petulance of the Master government in London insisting that the Union flag and Royal Standard must be placed at a superior elevation than the crux decussata whilst it is flown over any government Chattels? This was of course never, ever challenged by any Scottish congressman for reasons which I cannot fathom.
- 24.
- At 08:33 PM on 31 Jul 2007,
Underestimate the symbolic power of flags at your peril.
Originating from N.Ireland I am only too aware of how emotive an issue flags can be. You can still practically start a riot by flying the wrong flag at the wrong place & time in the Province.
And don't forget that our friends across the Atlantic are indoctrinated from a very early age to hold the Stars & Stripes in hallowed reverence.
The only reason this flags issue isn't as explosive as it could be in Scotland is because the Union Jack isn't regarded by the masses as quintessentially 'English' when compared to the cross of St George. Could you even begin to imagine the uproar if a Westminster government demanded the red cross took precedence over the Saltire on buildings in Scotland?
I believe it will take about a generation for the Union flag to be viewed just as negatively in Scotland as St Georges cross. The symbols of the union are slowly dying in Scotland, anyone can see that.
- 25.
- At 09:27 PM on 31 Jul 2007,
Flag's a flag's a flag ... isn't this a bit of non-story? A flag doesn't make a people who they are. Some support the union, some don't. The flags don't make a blind bit of a difference ... referendum's make the difference.
Give us choice (whatever the outcome) not flags ... the outcome isn't the fore-gone conclusion some on both sides would have us believe

- At 11:03 PM on 31 Jul 2007,
Welcome back. I enjoy your blog and balanced comment.
Bit of a storm in a teacup. AS playing it cleverly as usual. I think the present system is fine. Refering to an earlier comment I see no reason why the English don't fly the St Georges cross over public buildings apart from those that are 'British' like the Houses of Parliament.
p.s Please don't fall in to this modern corporate parlance refering to your hols as 'leave'. Makes it sound as if you're in the Army.

Well Brian, I sincerely hope you enjoyed your holiday.
Other than your blog, we get very little chance to comment on Scottish issues via the BBC website.
While you were on holiday, the Scottish media reported the possibility of Jack McConnell being made a "Lord" if and when he stands down. They also named the three front-runners for his job. Personally I don't care what flag they want flying from our public buildings; they can fly the "Skull and Cross-bones" if they like.
I do however care about who the people are who decide our Laws.
As our media neglected to expand with any detail about their stories; I wondered if you might be able to explain the kind of logic that would reward, - the man who led Labour to it's worst election result in Scotland in over 40 years - with a seat in the House of Lords ?. I also wondered if you could tell us how the investigation into the recent Scottish election fiasco is proceeding, and why there is going to be a delay before we get the final results ?. Who made the decision to award the £4million-plus contract for counting machines, to `DRS`?,- an American company who supply advanced electronic technology to the military - How will I be assured in future that `who or what`counts the votes, is not cheating ?.
Do our MSP's have any plans for increasing their salary's or pension entitlements ?. And, if you must go away on holiday again, would you remind the BBC that not all of us have gone with you, some have stayed home and wish to comment.
Wellcome back.

Hmmm, then what exactly is the blue background with a large white X through it? It's the Saltire, you then have a red cross inside the white X for Ireland and finally the horizontal & vertical cross that is the English flag.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_flag for historical details of this and variants of the flag.
The amusing thing is that when introduced the Union Flag was hated by the English who preferred their cross of St.George. Nowadays of course the Union Flag seems synonymous with England and those who cling to "little Englander" ideas.
That said I have always been suspicious of ANYONE who wraps themselves in a flag to proclaim their ideas. It always strikes me that there is a certain feeling of insecurity there when they feel the need to loudly proclaim their identity. Those of us who are secure in our identities feel no such need and somewhat resent those that seek to usurp our symbols for their own, usually narrow minded, ideologies.

Yes we live in Scotland, yes we are a proud nation. However, we do NOT pass into other countries with a Scotish passport, but a British one.
We are GREAT BRITAIN and the UNITED KINGDOM. We are Great and should be United. What happened in 1066 really should have no relevance to what is best for our countries future.

I used to be ambivalent, but now I think flying a flag, be it the Saltire, the Union Jack or both is a great idea.
The reason I think this is the breakdown of community spirit and values we have in Scotland and the UK as a whole. Contrast that to the sense of national pride in the US.
I used to think that the flag was just a symbol, but seeing how revered it is in the states, plus how schools instill that sense of pride in the nation, I think it can only be a good thing over here.

Personally, I would rather just see the Saltire flying in Scotland. The problem I have with the Union Jack is that the only country flag visible is St. George's Cross, can see no sign of the Saltire or the Welsh flag.
Well Anne you obviously need your eyes tested. The Union Flag clearly shows the cross of st George, St Andrew and St Patrick, the blue and white of the saltire is clearly seen although the irish cross is over the white of the saltire.
I agree it would have been great if the Welsh flag could have been squeezed on too.
I am born in England of scots parentage and proud to be both English/Scots and British, long live the union. I am sure many narrow minded Nationalists will disagree

As a young Scott I would welcome the flying of the Union flag. I'm sick of the nationalists which only got 39% of the vote on a turn out of 50% being portrayed as the voice of the majority in Scotland. Hardly an endorsement of a nationalist agenda. Just like the Rangers fans who sang rule Britannia last Saturday I am proud to be both Scottish and British. I would welcome a referendum on independence if only to shut the nationalists up. Nationalists in any other part of the UK are seen for what they are, a dangerous fringe with questionable intent.

As neither a Scot nor a Brit, I am glad that the SNP seems to have taken the correct line on this issue. This seems in line with their brand of nationalism, which (thankfully) is quite distinct from the flagwaving, introspective, xenophobic, undemocratic nationalism we see in the rest of the world.
Long may they continue to be sensible!

I see a lot of assertions that nationalists are narrow-minded, but I'm sure of the basis for this.
Surely, the ability to open our minds to the possibilities of independance would suggest the opposite?

I am dismayed at the comments that Nationalists are narrow minded. It is only by opening my outlook that I have come round to the idea of independence for Scotland. Whether you like it or not, Scotland and England have an entirely different culture and outlook on the world. The problem with the union is that only England's viewpoint is put across on our main broadcasting network and until recently, only through Westminster. Since Devolution Scotland has begun to assert itself and redeem some sort of self-respect. Aren't you lot aware that in 1979 Scotland was lied to about it's oil revenue, that the oil would hardly last, but it went onto bank roll Thatcher's union bashing. Without it her government would have sunk. I quote Andrew Marr's excellent recent BBC2 programme, History of Modern Britain, that Thatcher shamefully left out the North Sea oil from her memoirs. Please, please open you eyes to the facts and don't call Nationlists narrow minded. I could go on, but what is the point.

Im Scottish but also proud of being British. I welcome flying the union flag. It is a symbol of pride and hopes for a united future. Together we won two world wars, became one of the most successful nations this world has ever seen and influence international decission making. Why people want to seperate people that have stood strong side-by-side for centuries. Please dont pick at details that happened centuries ago, focus on a possitive future for both Scotland and Britian.
I have been told that im 'not Scottish' by some becouse I support the union. To those people I say... It is you that wants to stop progress and encourage social and racial devides. This would benefit no one.
I will fly the union flag and I will fly it with pride as a proud Scot.
