Met Office abandons long-term forecasts
Saturday 06 March 2010
First it promised a "barbecue summer" that brought little but rain. Then came the "mild winter" which turned out to be one of the coldest in 31 years. Now the Met Office is simply scrapping its long-term seasonal forecasts.
In what will widely be seen as an embarrassing climbdown, the Devon-based weather centre insisted the move came in response to public polling. "Our research suggests the public aren't interested in seasonal forecasts but they do want monthly forecasts," a spokeswoman insisted. The hotel owners and UK businesses that were left bruised by the lack of promised sunshine last summer may not accept this line as easily.
September's disastrous winter prediction – in which the Met Office claimed that there was a one in seven chance of a cold December to February – will be its final seasonal forecast.
It will be replaced from April with a monthly outlook that will be updated on a weekly basis. The Met Office insisted that the UK was a "temperate climate" which made it "very hard to forecast much beyond a week". It promised to continue working on long-range forecasting, which, rather than being intended for public consumption, is usually provided to help businesses plan ahead.
Last month it emerged that the Met Office may be dropped by the BBC after nearly 90 years following complaints about its forecasts. The Met Office's contract comes up for renewal in April.

Davenport city leaders can't seem to agree on a location for the SAU stadium and we have found out that some city leaders have been meeting in private with Saint Ambrose.
Three Davenport Aldermen held a meeting last Thursday at city hall to discuss possible new locations for the St. Ambrose Stadium. Alderman Barney Barnhill wants to look at what he calls a compromise, go ahead with the sports complex at St. Vincent but put the stadium somewhere else.
Mike Poster tells us the University representatives will not consider other stadium locations.
"A complex without a stadium really isn't what we're looking for at this point and we'd prefer to go forward with our entire plan," he said.
But in order to move forward with the current proposal, city leaders have to come together to overturn the mayor's veto. Seven "yeses" are needed to do that.
They will vote next Wednesday.

Score from 935 reviews Very good
-no noise of outside. -location excellent: middle in the centre. -showers good. -Beds good. -Price good in respect to room.
-no windows so no ventilation/fresh air. -Warm in summer. Ventilator helps to cool a little.
Obviously the price was the main reason why we chose this place, along with the unbeatable location. The room was without windows, but we were expecting that and all in all it was not that bad.
The hostel is basically a big apartment whose rooms have been converted into hostel rooms. The owners live inside the structure, and put little to no effort into making the guests' stay comfortable. Children and owners screming are a common thing throughout the night, almost to a point where it becomes unbearable. We stayed 1 night, more than enough.
Hospitality of the owner. Good WiFi. Nice room and comfortable beds. Our room had a balcony, you can drink your cold beers here (there is a fridge). Locations is very very good! We definately recommend this place when you stay in Madrid, would go back here!
A bit noisy (street), but that's because of location.
So colourful! The bathrooms were really nice and clean. There was a sink and a mirror in the room. Also a fan. It's in the centre of Madrid, we couldn't have been more lucky!
It was a bit noisy at night, the owner had a tiny child who shouted quite a lot and she shouted as well. A part from this everything was perfect.
We liked that the rooms were spacious with a very high ceiling. The temperature in the room was good, not as hot as it was outside. The location is very centric indeed, so we managed to save a lot of money on transportation. There are a lot of restaurants and cafes near by, a cinema and an excellent shopping area.
The fact that the location is so centric also implies, in this case, that the neighborhood is EXTREMELY noisy during the night, to the point where you cannot sleep. The shower was awkwardly located right inside the room, meaning it was literally facing the bed. The staff were not too professional really, especially regarding foreigners. The Wifi was simply not working.
It was a bargain price
Not very accommodating, felt like I was staying with a random family with a noisy child. Room had no external window. Only stay if really working on a budget.
The room was very nice, spacious, with a shower inside and a lovely balcony. The location is really central, just a minute walk from Puerta del Sol, the street is full of shops, bars and cafes.
best Location for price, and everyting in order. It was clean and neat, no bad experience at all
it is so well situated, that you would reget going to sleep being so near the vibrant part of the city ;-)
We requested two single beds, had to pay extra to have room with two single beds for first two nights then share a double bed for last two nights of our stay. First room opened onto street and was very noisy. Second room much quieter but very small.
Great location.
Very noisy late into the night by staff.
Location is good. Nice with a balcony. Decor is Spanish style and cosy. Have a lift.
Wifi is poor. I requested a double room but finally they gave me twin beds. The staff is impolite.
Very lovely room with a balcony. Owner was friendly and welcoming. Very clean bathroom and shower facilities.
As it's a small place the talking in the 'reception' area was disturbing in the morning but apart from that it was a very pleasant stay
Everybody was nice and professional,I got all my questions answered,the staff has knowledge of the area.
WiFi did not work and it was really loud even late at night with host ... I just needed place to crash so I guess it was OK for a bed, but you can hear others sleeping (snoring), talking, coming in late, kid crying, etc. If this is norm for hostels, then fine. If not, then try to spend a few bucks to find another one with better accommodations.
Nice staff.. clean place. Ver quiet and easy location
Nice clean place.. staff is very nice.. good location.. a place to go back surely
Close to restaurants etc
The rooms are in a second floor facing a busy street where people is yelling and screaming all night till dawn...really hard to get some sleep.
The room was very very basic. It had a single bed and barely any room for a suitcase. There was no window, and the whole place had a very dingy and dark feeling. The room was clean, which was about the only plus. It was good to use as a base, because it was very close to everything, pretty much in the centre of the city. Oh, and it had an elevator, I guess that was a good feature too.
Hard to find initially. when looking for it, look for building 31, then read the list on the buzzer. It's level 2.
The location is good.
1. At night it's very noisy in the hotel. 2.Just one towel to a person of average size, which seemed to be not very clean. 3. There is a bad smell in the hotel because of aromastics.
it is very clean the landlady is warmhearted
cleanliness and the location
wifi did not work
location value for money
heating is not high
Location, value of money, staffs are very nice.
- Very clean - Great location - Nice common room with fridge - Free wifi
- Awkward facilities (shower cabinet in a triple room without curtains, the two common showers are in a single bathroom, so in effect the whole hostel shares one shower) - Check-in not possible after midnight - Very noisy at night as windows and shutters don't close completely

While the world's attention is focused on the uprisings in North Africa, West Africa's Ivory Coast teeters on the brink of civil war in the wake of an election that saw outpolled President Laurent Gbagbo refuse to cede power.
Most of the presidential candidates from both parties agree that we can't allow Iraq to become a "failed state." Unfortunately, that warning is about four years out of date.

Making The Second City's Schools Second to None
September 22, 2014
In 2010, schools across Illinois were still reeling from the Great Recession. The Chicago Tribune reported that the crisis strained school budgets in Illinois so much that many were at a "breaking point." Across the state, teachers and parents worried that schools would not be able to open their doors, let alone improve their practice. Despite inheriting a school system in economic freefall, newly elected Mayor Rahm Emanuel did far more than confront budget challenges. In his first three years in office, Mayor Emanuel has secured more time for instruction, more public school options for parents, and more support for students.

It's one of the reasons we ask you each month to dig down and support those pragmatic Dems who understand at their core that we have a lot of work to do to restore the promise of what public education is supposed to be for the young people who most need it to thrive in American life.
We're delighted this month to present two great leaders - Ro Khanna and Carol Donovan - as our Reformers of the Month for September.
Ro, an educator and former trade representative for President Obama, is running an inspiring campaign for Congress to represent California's Silicon Valley area. He's pushing greater investments and greater accountability in our schools.
Carol, a business owner who has committed her adult life to community service, is frustrated with the results of Texas students compared with their national peers and wants to restore support and excellence in the classroom.
Click here to donate $25 right now to help Ro and Carol. Both of these great candidates deserve your support today.
We're asking you to support leaders who believe that, by rolling up our sleeves and doing the hard work, we can convince the public that our schools are worth supporting again.
These sentiments - and indeed this optimism that things can be better in our schools - are not always popular with the professional political class.

NH goes Fourth in style
"It's big time, it's appreciation for what we've got," said Mark Orshak of Manchester, clad in a colonial-styled shirt depicting the American flag. "I think it's celebrated more and more since 9/11 and what happened in Boston kind of spurs it now."
Ashley and Oscar Castro brought their three children, Cameron, 9, Caden, 6, and Colby, 1, each clad in patriotic-colored rugby-style shirts.
Tradition was also behind the shirt celebrating the American flag worn by Amelia Szelog, 18, of Manchester.
Another 30 communities capped off Independence Day with fireworks Thursday.
Town officials promise "a very special fireworks show" to celebrate the town's recovery from the flooding.
"It doesn't change, it doesn't matter if we're in the middle of a conflict or in the most peaceful time, it's still the same," said Mike Rice of Nashua, who retired after 40 years service with the New Hampshire Army National Guard.
"I love how everyone comes together, to see the fireworks and hang out together" Jernigan said."
In Manchester, many have made the annual fireworks show a family tradition, first at Derryfield Park for years before the show moved to Arms Park in 1985."It is a long-standing tradition; my brother and I grew up in a house where the Fourth of July is celebrated," said Cathie Orshak of Manchester. "You just wouldn't be anywhere else but here."

Azerbaijan, UN to establish working group
12 June 2014 [15:50] -
Azerbaijan and the UN will establish a working group to prepare the document "Framework for cooperation between Azerbaijan and the UN in 2016-2020", to be signed in December this year, UN Resident Coordinator in Azerbaijan Antonius Broek said at a conference in Baku, devoted to discussion of the preparation of the document on June 12.
"The main objective as part of the preparation is to render joint services to determine potential priorities for future cooperation," he said.
"After this stage, it will be necessary to create joint groups to form the effective framework until June-August for the Azerbaijani Ministry of Economy and Industry to hold a workshop in late September. These results will be discussed there. It is necessary to approve and sign another document as part of cooperation until December."
Azerbaijani Minister of Economy and Industry Shahin Mustafayev said that Azerbaijan intends to continue cooperating closely with the UN in all possible directions.
"The current level of development and achievements of Azerbaijan make it necessary to cooperate with the relevant UN agencies in the future," the minister said. "Therefore it would be appropriate to call this document as a strategy of cooperation, rather than framework."

First Clip from ELYSIUM - Matt Damon VS Robot!
Hey guys! Horrorella here...
We get to see the first clip from ELYSIUM (via YAHOO), Neill Blomkamp's follow-up to the incredible DISTRICT 9 and one my most highly-anticipated films of the summer.
Here is the official plot synopsis:
In the year 2159 two classes of people exist: the very wealthy who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Rhodes (Jodie Foster), a hard line government official, will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn't stop the people of Earth from trying to get in, by any means they can. When unlucky Max (Matt Damon) is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that if successful will not only save his life, but could bring equality to these polarized worlds.
This clip shows Matt Damon attempting to sit down with a civil-service robot to to explain an incident that transpired earlier that day. And holy crap - you thought dealing with goverment offices today was bad. Be glad you're not dealing with this.
The film opens August 9th and costars Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, and William Fichtner.

TELEVISION / Armani Martians, go home
Sunday 03 October 1993
Did Dennis Potter make this trailer for the return of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons (BBC2)? I prefer to think it was the last, defiant act of a Producer Choice refusenik before being marched off to the Attitude Reappraisal Centre. In a week when the hot BBC rumour was that several 'profit centres' had recorded worse losses than the train crash in Casualty and that certain core programmes were to be removed from Producer Choice altogether, it looked like it was time for Mysteron Birt to neutralise his interceptors, and fly home.
Home to 'Mars 2068 AD', a cute, pastel planet evidently cut out of Vymura cloakroom wallpaper by Gerry Anderson for his classic Sixties puppet show. Visiting Mars, Captain Black and his crew made the mistake of attacking a Mysteron city made from Cellophane and foil. The Mysterons fought back with short sentences: 'We are. Peaceful people. You have tried. To destroy us. It will mean. The ultimate destruction. Of Earth.' In the great tradition of James Bond villains, the new enemy immediately issued a timetable of its vile intentions: 'Our first act. Of retaliation. Will be. To assassinate. Your. World President.' Back on Earth, Captain Black went AWOL: Spectrum feared he had gone over to the Mysterons, but those zombie eyes gave the game away - Black had become a puppet of Producer Choice.
The World President ('We're dealing with forces that we don't completely understand here') is kidnapped by Captain Scarlet whose body has also been snatched by Mysteron Birt. Luckily, the Angels - a trio of crumpet by the names of Destiny, Harmony and Lobotomy - zoom to the rescue. The President is snatched from a teetering Philippe Starck cake-stand and Captain Scarlet plunges 80 feet to his death. Happily, he is revived and finds he has cast off the Producer Choice demon and is now invincible] BBC staff should not try this at home.
Back on Earth, two ambitious new serials took off. Jimmy McGovern's tautly-plotted Cracker (ITV) is a variation on the morose detective genre: welcome the morose criminal psychologist. Fitz (Robbie Coltrane) may be Jung at heart (where Morse had classical music, Fitz has philosophy) but he is Dostoevsky in the head: a compulsive gambler who plays Russian roulette with his life while urging his students to take a rainy tram-ride into the bleaker suburbs of their souls. His wife (the gloriously human Barbara Flynn) walks out after he remortgages the house, and his favourite student has been butchered on a train. Police are holding a man who was found covered in the girl's blood, but he says it's all a blank. Enter Fitz firing live jokes: 'I've forgotten more about amnesia than they'll ever know]'
If this thriller wasn't quite noir, it was certainly crepuscular: clothes and rooms gave off a seductive, smoky cocktail-hour feel, and even when Fitz padded about by day there was a powerful, dark undertow as of a man swimming wilfully close to swirling reeds. Michael Winterbottom directed an exemplary prowling camera. He had class assistance from singer Carol Kidd who turned up on the soundtrack and in a nightclub with a voice that travels from Cleo Laine to Streisand on a gravel road. Elsewhere, there were some false notes: when the murdered girl's mother spoke to Fitz we did not hear the feelings of a distraught person, rather a therapist describing the feelings of a distraught person. But in the main McGovern's dialogue was spot-on. Coltrane has shed a few stone for the role, although I'm not sure he's punching the right emotional weight yet. You didn't warm to him, nor did you believe for a minute that he was the father of the gungy teenager. Still, I gripe. Cracker feels like the real thing: tomorrow's episode can't come too soon.
There was a less sure start from Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City (C4). It is San Francisco in 1976: Eden before the Fall. The young in one another's arms, the birds in the trees, and enough grass to pasture Nirvana. That was no country for old men; and, as we now know, most were not destined to age. Aids would see to that. Into this sexual paradise comes Mary Ann who has evaded her banal destiny as a Future Homemaker of Ohio and moved into a boarding-house where she stares at the Rondeian bedding activities like a bemused Alice in Slumberland. Director Alastair Reid has pushed the story to fairy-tale extremes: the buttery lighting flatters but also flattens, losing out on shadows. The characters come up missing a dimension, too: Beauchamp Day is Mary Ann's bad wolf, landlady Mrs Madrigal (the splendid Olympia Dukakis) her fairy godmother. The film is soapier than the books, lacking Maupin's controlling tone. But there are compensations: Chloe Webb's kooky Mona ('You can't really hide from the Cosmos, right?') is a Cheshire Cat about to disappear up her own liberation while Marcus D'Amico's Mouse has a grave sweetness that puts to shame the niggardly representation of gay life on television. As Mouse lay naked and trusting in his new lover's arms, it was just possible to hear a sound from the hateful future: the hiss of a serpent entering the garden.
Finally, three unforgettable films about women. We should be grateful to Penny Forster and Ann Lalic for persuading Nancy Lancaster, 93-year- old landscape artist, to reminisce on An Englishwoman's Garden (BBC2). The lady, imperious in primrose, said she was 'not nuts about having my picture done', as if Gainsborough not a camera crew had dropped by. Her final garden - generous scoops of dark hedge marching in serene ranks to the horizon - suggested that Heaven, anticipating Mrs Lancaster's arrival, had rolled out the green carpet. Wild Swans (BBC1, Omnibus) told Jung Chang's astonishing, agonised story about the lives of her grandmother - a warlord's concubine - and her mother, a Communist Party official imprisoned for resisting the Cultural Revolution. Documentaries about writers rarely come to life: close-ups of tapping fingers and meaningful poetic stares are, at best, pedestrian stabs at the motor of inspiration. But producer Mischa Scorer caught it, cutting between film of Jung and her mother, archive footage and stills: all set to the thrilling, plaintive music of Nigel Hess. Image piled on image: Jung seeing her father cry for the first time as he burned his books, Jung changing her name to Military Affairs - her real one, Wild Swan, shared the same pronunciation as 'fading red' at a time when you were either bright red or dead.
In Assignment (BBC2), producer Giselle Partenier investigated one of India's less publicised tragedies - the murder every year of thousands of baby girls, and the abortion of a million more by a culture for whom the son shines brightest. Vellaiyamma, pregnant with her second child after having a daughter, said: 'We don't want another girl, so we will kill her.' Poverty and spiralling dowry costs are partly to blame, but underpinning every testimony from both men and women was the assumption that girls are dispensable, the children of a lesser god. At the end, we saw Shalanu whooping with pain in hospital after her husband, upset with her dowry, set her on fire. Her body was a mummy of bandages, her face black and covered in cream as if ready for shaving. She died soon after. When that nice Mark Tully turns up on Start the Week again to tell us that Western feminism has nothing to teach India, I shall hear her ghost screaming.

Plain stupid: the Government's planning policies threaten more flood damage
Half the houses built in Britain since the Second World War are on flood plains, and development on them is still growing twice as fast as elsewhere. And, as I argue in this weekend's column in the Daily Telegraph the Government's housing and planning policies are likely to make things worse.

5 Ways to Love Your Post-Baby Body
By Shikha Desai | posted Nov 12th 2012 at 12:30PM
Take care of yourself
It is very essential to stay active and well-nourished at this point of time. Your goal should be to feel good and positive and get back in shape gradually by eating well and having a good workout regimen. Go for a walk or enrol for a mommy-and-me yoga class. So make sure you take good care of yourself without stressing over losing weight quickly. It took you nine months to put the baby weight on, so give yourself at least nine months to get the weight off.

Wearne came into the game in the sixth inning, and wasted no time settling in when he ripped a double down the alley in right field, scoring Harman and Testa, in the process giving the Aces a lead they would never relinquish.
Speaking after the game Phil Dale confirmed that Justin Huber is likely to miss the rest of the series.
"He's got a slight hamstring problem, he probably won't play for the rest of this series and he'll be questionable coming in to next week."
The Aces added to their two-run buffer in the seventh with Testa hitting his sixth home run of the campaign.
Liam Bedford finished off the scoring in the 8th with a single to left, which scored James Beresford.
Kable Hogben and Zach Arneson continued the red hot form of the Aces bullpen combining for two innings, striking out five of eight batters faced.
The series continues at 5.05pm on Saturday where the Aces will look to take their second straight home series.

After a few false starts, Sprint finally plans to begin consumer trials of its WiMAX networks this fall, according to a report by Telephony Online. The trials will kick off in September in Baltimore, Maryland, and they'll follow in Chicago and Washington, D.C. "before the end of the year."
Telephony Online says Sprint actually deployed WiMAX networks in those areas last year just before Christmas, but it has only run employee trials since then. Plans to start commercial trials early this year and to follow with a "full commercial launch" in the second quarter reportedly fell through.
Sprint CEO Dan Hesse announced the new commercial trial plans at the NXTcomm08 conference in Las Vegas, where he also played up the advantages of WiMAX over the alternatives. Hesse claimed the industry can't match today's wireless capacity demand with existing 3G networks, and only 4G or WiMAX can provide the necessary bandwidth at a low enough cost. Hesse also said he believes WiMAX networks should support "more than just traditional handset and laptop connections." He mentioned WiMAX-connected digital cameras, music players, and car navigation systems or stereos as examples.

He's a great Artist
He's an okay Artist
I'm pretty neutral about the Art he makes
I really think he could do better
I feel as though his Art is awful
Not even the story is more solid or mature (If you think about it, freedom IS probably the center of both stories focused in two different ways: One is more emo and the other just tries to smiles about it. That doesn't mean one is more mature. I find Ichigo QUITE less mature than most characters in One Piece excluding of course Luffy which has shown already deeper emotions than just being awesome)
Bleach art is not more mature. Its art AIMS at more mature audience, while One Piece art takes a more cartoonish approach. This doesn't make One Piece art less mature or less solid. If you look at Oda's way of visualizing facial expressions and "camera" angles, you realize how mature, creative, and masterful his drawings are while still not breaching beyond the context and the style he has established within One Piece - which is supposed to carry a childish and cartoonish feel.
Bleach art can easily get lost in the generic and conventional manga art section (this does not mean to say that there's nothing unique about Bleach art), but certain moments in One Piece can easily seperate its art out of the rest.
2 instances where Oda's genius still stuck deep within me is Buggy's face in Impel Down when Luffy completely forgot about Buggy's special cannon ball, and Buggy's face when Mihawk deflects his cannon ball back to Buggy's face.
Sup. I don't know why people bash Oda's art. Every mangaka has a world they are trying to build and the characters need to fit into that world. I get so pissed when people try and compare Naruto and Goku to Luffy and it's like, those are all characters from three different artists.
Lames on mangafox, sorry for jumping ship.
Anyway a mangaka creates a world and the art lays the groundwork for that world. Because ideally, each writer will have a different story to tell then their art should be different. I like Oda's style because it embraces imagination while maintaining a certain element of realism. The characters do have exagerrated expressions but the entire One Piece world is exagerrated and that's what makes it attrative.
It's a pirate fantasy story that doesn't try to fit in a box with a lot of the other stuff out here.
I used to really like Bleach art, even bought a lot of them, but it looks a bit empty once you stop caring about the story, and between them the decline of Bleach and D. Gray-Man put me off manga that were full of interchangeable people pouting. But One Piece is such a big world with such a wide range of possibilities for characters/places that it's unfair to compare.
The only thing I've read that comes close in hugeness are China Mieville's books.. which are completely different kinds of stories, but I'd love to think those guys were reading each others work .
A One Piece/ Toriko crossover chapter just turned up that kinda adds to this discussion, with the contrast between art styles. 2 pages really show it... I've never read any Toriko, so don't really have any right to slag it off particularly as it looked like they both had fun drawing it, but One Piece wins.
Last edited by Ratatosk; March 31, 2011 at 01:42 PM.
oda is a good artist. but he no use komputer. if he use komputer to draw. he make good photo.
my whole point was ;
"art is a matter of taste . there isnt -better art- or -worse art- . there is only -to my liking- or -not to my liking-
i find OP more colorful and bleach more solid in designs . this is only my opinion . FOR MY TASTE that is . im not suggesting it as a fact , im not discussing or criticising or comparing them . i dont have to or need to prove you why i think this way or why i feel this way because i cant prove you my tastes now can i ?
thats the whole idea anyway ! SUBJECTIVITY ! stop trying to bash my point of view and just describe yours
Talking about "solid", "mature" and "design" is not subjective speech. Bad choice of words then.
Let's try to tone down the rhetoric. Please use this thread with a focus on only Oda's art. Please don't bash any other manga to support a position. It's not needed and only serves to start flame wars.
Thank you Tsukisama...
I find myself agreeing with the post that mention the expansive world Oda creates... I can confidently say Oda has tread waters no other has tread before... Oda's world not only goes through every single type of realistic enviorment, but it also transcends time and even space... Islands with inexplicable phenoms like riding a geyser to the sky, or raining lightning, or invisible ground(Apoo's crew)... just things that make you go hmm...
Oda's art actually makes you feel like your there watching it firsthand, like you could look around and see the building and land formations...
Even when the art was more Two-Dimensional as some have pointed out, and which I agree with, but even when Oda's drawing wasn't as in depth, I knew every piece of every island in the east blue saga... and Oda didn't have to spend agonizing chapters to explain the layout or do numerous panel shots, his brush stroke for scenery carried it along with every single place Luffy went...
and this is the reason I created the thread... Oda's art may not just pop, but it really lays the canvas down, even if you don't notice...
Maybe it's because I was more used to read unstandard art in comics but I never had issue wrt Oda art. In the world of manga where it is often very conventional, it was even kinda refreshing.
Another thing that show that he is a great artist are his color spreads. I don't know if it is because of experience but when I compare them to Enigma ones, the difference is striking.
I'm sorry but I feel compelled to add my little point about Kubo. The fact that their are no background in Bleach is not a weakpoint. Kubo decided to make a very aerated manga (because he couldn't or not I don't care). The fact is that in the end, that what's make Bleach Bleach. Some of the page emptiness becomes even beautiful... Which is something totally unthinkable in One Piece.
I agree with what a lot of people have said. While One Piece's character designs can be rather drastic and over-exaggerated sometimes, it's okay. I would rather have that than the kind of generic design for tons of characters like Bleach has. As someone said, you could see a character that hasn't show up in a while, and instantly remember it, because no one else in the series since then has looked anything like them. Even the extras who have no part in the plot whatsoever (townspeople on the various islands and whatnot) are all different.
And I'd have to say Oda is pretty much second to none (in the manga world, that is...don't start bringing up Da Vinci and crap) in drawing scenery. He's drawn all kinds of beautiful places, and all of them really stand out and aren't generic at all (prime examples are Water 7 and when they first went under the sea toward Fishman Island).
So I really don't understand why people bash Oda's art. I understand why people might dislike his character designs, but that's the only bad thing I can think of. And like I said, to me at least, that's more refreshing than annoying.
I LOVE Oda's artwork; it needs to have that "zany/zetsu appeal for such a long, endearing epic piece of Shounen. (It's HALFWAY finished.)
And seriously, can't think of any other manga (or comic, or novel) where a dog from like 600 chapters ago can make an appearance and still be recognisable..
(although I mainly remember it because it made such fcked-up noises in the anime..)

The U.S. Coast Guard recently awarded Avtron Industrial Automation a contract to upgrade the main propulsion system on its fleet of 9 WTGB Ice Breaking Tugs with the Avtron ADD-32 DMG Drive System. To date, Avtron has upgraded the electrical propulsion system for the Neah Bay in Cleveland, OH, the Bristol Bay in Detroit, MI, and now the Penobscot Bay in Bayonne, NJ. The WTGBs are 140' diesel-electric vessels which operate on the Great Lakes and the Northeastern United States. The ice breaking mission of the vessels requires them to be operational at all times. The WTGBs' existing electric drive control systems were obsolete and therefore unsupportable.
Based on previous successful Avtron drive projects with the 175' WLM Buoy Tenders and 240 ft.WLBB Mackinaw, the U. S. Coast Guard chose Avtron for the WTGB-class tugs. Over the next 3 years, Avtron will provide new Avtron DMG motor and generator field supplies, PLC, metering, and updated bridge controls for the U. S. Coast Guard's entire WTGB class of vessels.
The WTGB fleet joins a family of Avtron driven vessels including the above referenced U.S. Coast Guard Vessels, Ferries, Dredges, Ice Breakers, Research Vessels, and commercial ships.

The IPCC on Biofuels: Good or Bad?
The IPCC report said biofuels can be part of a strategy to reduce carbon emissions, but the report also cites risks from conflicts between using land to grow crops for biofuels and growing crops for food. The report also expressed concern about land-uses changes from biofuels.

Maybe the question should be "are biofuels better then the standard quo fossil industries?" They are surely not perfect but comparison to fossil and nukes shines a different light. With oil we have tar sands, BP deepwater oil spills, XL pipeline over aquifers, war for oil in the Mid East,,, nukes have 3 Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima melt downs. As for competition for food growing that is more of a political issue, we had just as many staring people when the surpluses were enormous and grain prices cheaper then dirt. Biofuels need to be explored but probably on a local use basis, like making tractor and truck fuels at the farm level.

Isn't the total crop land use for biofuels something like only 3 or 4 % worldwide? Much of that is in the U.S. where total planted acres has dropped over the last 30 years and we currently sit atop significant corn surplus. Perhaps the IPCC should spend its time figuring out when we will all scorch from global warming and leave ag issues to the better informed.
Posted by Curt Zingula at 7:00AM CDT 04/09/14
What has been far worse then biofuels has been suburbia, it has taken MILLIONS of farm acres and transformed them into paved over shopping malls and ticky tack houses where only travel by gas gussling vehicles make living there possible. Suburbia is a guaranteed failure producing huge amounts of CO2, arable land destruction, water waste and a huge eye sore. Lets stop our denial and get to the real elephant in the room! Suburbia took huge energy and resources to create and even more to sustain!

Great comments - now what do we do? It seems that agriculture is the focus these days of many governmental agencies and the non-farming public which makes you wonder what we did wrong in their eyes? Any answers.

United Nations IPCC is the full and proper name for this group of thieving collection of dictators whose soul goal is to raid the U.S. treasury on some goofy idea based on a computer model rigged to get the results they want Obama is dying to get a carbon tax then he will control your health care and anything touched by oil, which is almost everything.

Base Acre Decisions Are Key to New Farm Bill
Mon Sep 8, 2014 09:54 AM CDT
An update from a farm-bill conference in Kansas City last week: Farmers and landlords likely are still going through decisions on base acres. One word of advice from an economist to farmers: Base-acre reallocation and yield update decisions reside with the landowner. If you haven't heard from your landlords on base-acre decisions, you should give them a call. Your landlords might not have any idea what exactly those letters from the Farmer Service Agency were about. You may need to walk them through some of those decisions if you haven't already.
