It is simply to do with the fact your are in the US and the server is in Germany. If there is lots of US visitors then you may experience slow speeds. In the EU it is zippy. We are exploring CDN or mirroring for the US but this cost $$$ per month. If more US members can confirm Joe's speed tests then we will seriously look at it. But so far the amount of complaints is on 1 hand. Run a poll, hold a survey...I really want our US visitors to enjoy the site as much as possible but we need more feedback

Is that the ship on 5th Element?

He was Dylan but better... I think he was his own worst enemy as it's said. I think he would have been big if he would have given himself to the hollywood lackies. faced the audience and such. However his music was too pure. I don't think he could bring himself to do it. As his daughter said he gives away everything he gets. Music and Money. True artist.

@micione said: A curiosity. Yesterday ended the famous "Carnival of Viareggio." All the allegorical floats were focused on political satire, national and European. This, in particular, captures well an important aspect. The float, titled "Power in the mask," presents five harpies with his face hidden by a mask and various hats, a symbol of the power of the church, the monarchy, the armed forces, the judiciary and the multinationals: they are to maneuver the political class to to take action favorable to the dark arts, especially in economic and financial … Thanks Roberto for the image. Its says a lot!

@gilles said: @mike lucey said: Good Luck to them ....... they are brave lads and lass! IMO Germany is not very bi-lingual and France is quite anti bi-lingual. They should go down well in The Netherlands as the Dutch and very bi-lingual. I wonder why they gave their obvious audiences a wide berth, the UK and Ireland? Not true, just lazy. Isn't laziness a form of anti work?

@tomot said: I'll keep stoking the fires! How about**"Mea Maxima Culpa"**unfortunately this documentary can't be viewed outside Canada, which is a shame, and very relevant today, particularly since a bunch of criminals are going to be engaged shortly to elect the next head of a church. http://www.cbc.ca/passionateeye/episode/mea-maxima-culpa-silence-in-the-house-of-god.html#socialcomments That was awesome! a must see, and a true story not a theory.

Thanks for sharing Jim. Also a wide selection there to choose from

Regarding place and date! A provisional booking has been made by our partners, ACUA_International for the week 18/1/14 till 25/1/14 at Hochberghaus in Kasberg, Austria.

(that's possibly getting into lcd damage there instead of just the digitizer.. might as well just trash it at that point due to repair costs being so high)

I can imagine a collective exclamation from all of us responsible for global warming saying: "Oops, sorry, my bad". (Of course I don't actually know that global warming had Anything to do with this, but it surely seems representational)

John, If you have to go to France I'd suggest you travel on the TGV! I've been to France on a number of occasions and while enjoyable enough, I found the trips ..... well ...... a little boring! I found that unless one is fairly fluent in French, one's efforts at speaking French tend to be frowned on and one can be made feel uncomfortable. Now, I'd suggest you re-think your European Trip and hit Ireland first as this year Ireland is hosting The Gathering! http://www.thegatheringireland.com/ I'm sure there are is possibly a pint or two of Irish blood in you somewhere John! There is a branch of the Clements Family here in Ireland, http://www.houseofnames.com/clements-family-crest You could look them up! Mike

About one year ago,I painted this, based on one of my friends' facebook page: [image: 21_b.jpg] but don't remember, who was the owner!

I think ultradns.net is only the DNS-server. The owner of the site should be OLX in New York Did you try to contact them? http://ciudaddemexico.olx.com.mx/contacts.php http://www.olx.com/contacts.php I don't know how this works with mexico and copyright ingringements, but since they seem to be located in the US... But concerning your ranking. I think you're at this place because of the image names and your page rank at google search. If i search for "koi pond deck" in the normal google search your page is on top. http://whois.gwebtools.de/woodsshop.com So i would say you can manipulate the images and keep the names and it should work, but no guaranty! Maybe you should ask a professional webdesigner and a lawyer for more information...

I remember Thomthom when you first posted this, the design still inspires me!

I wonder how the costs of deconstruction compare to the construction costs. There's maybe one advantage: it's easier to reuse or recycle materials than when turning it into a pile of debris. Like with nuclear powerplants, proper deconstruction often hasn't been considered in the planning and the costs (and time) for nuclear powerplants easily exceed those of construction.

Rest in peace old chap. You were a really friendly guy and gave me some fantastic advice, with an amazing eye for the detail. I still can't believe this. Here is a drape he shared a while back in one of my threads, wish I could use it to dry my tears http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&p=183503

@solo said: @unknownuser said: Be warned people like Myself and Solo are fairly political... Hmmm, I'm just a rude insulting Liberal atheist bastard on Facebook, no point in friending me if you get offended easily, I use Face book to rant and rave, insult and troll...it's therapeutic. Yeah... noticed it

isn't it just incredible!!!

here's another one where there's talk of selling your space ship designs. But I'm funding the first one. I'll probably just buy or try this one as it already seems to be funded. http://www.robertsspaceindustries.com/star-citizen/

Wow, now that is incredible!
