Think it'll get an Energy Star rating?

@tomsdesk said: (not a big deal at all BTW) Yeah, I guessed so and you have enough forum and browsing experience to workaround it but if you guys imagined how many emails I get via that link a day - about SU problems and such! Some people think that's the post button - so better this way.

Yes, I think on PPB there are (more) ads displayed to "Guests" (not logged in). Maybe an effective way to "encourage" logins, too. Google never reveals which click and which ad pays how much however so it's a bit like lottery, too.

Thanks Jan for the link. More amazing drawings on there. This one was quite disturbing....called Baby Food. There's a visual pun for you. Wonder how they got the kid to play dead like that. LOL [image: 3Hgv_Babyfood.jpg]

I do not own an iPone but i do own an iPod Touch! Sad that they do not have it for iPhone [image: belkin2gtouchcase2.JPG]

Thanks Mike!

I they've all been out fishing for years now...

Don't catch a fly Bravo for this old prog, seems I play it on 1040

My grandpa who lived in the city almost all his life ate tons of sweets, lots of meat, almost no vegetables, in his youth drank a lot and he reached 91. But he did walk a lot. My other grandpa, who lived in the countryside most of his life and had a field and animals to take care of, reached 96. He had a great sense of humor. We still think what killed him was taking him to live in a city when he was 91, but who knows? Medicine is not an exact science, like Math. Remember when bloodletting was standard practice?

@unknownuser said: But I'd like to know why do most things now start with a small 'i'? Same reason there were car models called 'CD' and 'laser' back when CD players were new. Turbo. LX. Royale. Whatever - something catches the public eye/ear and for a while becomes a signifier of cool and desirable. Remember when there were lots of Xs and Zs in car model names? Not quite sure why there have never been Ford Mustang 'Schlong' variants, or NIssan NIpples.

lol. I'd need lots of aspirin if I lived in that house. Xanax, too.

Too true mate!

Good idea for a Topic. I will start checking out Ennis.

great news, remus. keep it up.

andersry The CABE architecture centres in the UK regularly hold public consultations and participatory events to engage the public in the design process of new developments. I work for part of this organisation. Sketchup has been used in this way. See document, might be useful. http://www.architecturecentre.net/docs/content/futurescape_report.pdf and a whole load of links http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&rlz=1T4GGIE_enGB340GB340&q=cabe+architecture+centres+sketchup&meta= Don't under estimate the SU learning curve though. Mr and Mrs Smith and their kids want to tell you in five minutes want they want in the new park or shopping centre, without training they can sketch it on paper a lot faster than they can in Sketchup. Sketchup is great if you have a week long consultation event, if it is just one day, get the pencils and paint out. If you need more info pm me. It is also worth mentioning that there is a general consensus that community consultations on urban design are often handled very ineffectively. All to often developers don't "consult" the public until they have planning permission and are about to start building. So the public's opinions at that late stage can have no effect on the outcome. At the other extreme, empowering the public to draw their ideas, while important, needs to be handled very delicately. If not it can be disingenuous, as you can mislead them into thinking that they are the design team. They are the client, not the designers. CABE have some good best practice info for public consultation. http://www.cabe.org.uk/

And also impressive the last paragraph: combining the two techniques. If they can map the structure and also distinguish the elements, I would not need anymore to struggle with those spectra: [image: ucQG_IR_pentacene.jpg] That's like if you take a single molecule in your hands, touch it and feel the structure.

@ecuadorian said: BTW, perhaps it's time to implement a system that allows users to give a or a to a post and hide posts below a certain threshold. This would greatly improve the Signal to Noise Ratio in the forums.
