It has been almost 2 months since moving to Dublin and some things just make sense: - Calculating VAT (sales tax) into all the products - So what is shown is what you pay - No tipping - Signs both in Gaelic and English. No squabbling between languages, like at home - Museums are free (I think this is standard across Ireland) - So far 2 tram lines, working on a 3rd. (So far no need for me to use it) - Many bus stops tell you when the next bus is - Which is nice, but since downloading Moovit who cares! - Some interesting pubs - Cyclist stop at red lights - Jay-walking is legal - Garda (their police force across the Republic) the majority do not have a gun - Which is cool, but freaks me out. Don't get me wrong, I miss Montreal and nothing will replace it.

Punisher 2 Shooting in Montreal Movie The Punisher 2 Posted By: Michael / Source Related News : Comic Flicks , Crime , Thriller Movie News , According to my anonymous scooper who has proven to be very accurate in his past scoops, The Punisher 2 film will be shooting in Montreal very soon. It invites alot of questions however. For instance who will play the Punisher now that Thomas Jane has quite the film. According to DarkHorizons Punisher 2 has a new director and its an interesting choice. Lexi Alexander who directed Green Street Hooligans has reportedly been tapped for the film. I am not excited at all for Punisher 2. With Thomas Jane having quit the project and the first one having sucked horribly. Thomas Jane reportedly sent a letter to AICN letting them know that he has dropped out of Punisher 2. He has lost faith in the project and feels it does not do the fans justice, so he is dropping out of the project. And no doubt burning some bridges in the way he is coming out (if the letter is legit ) Quote: What I won't do is spend months of my life sweating over a movie that I just don't believe in. I’ve always loved the Marvel guys, and wish them well. Meanwhile, I’ll continue to search for a film that one day might stand with all those films that the fans have asked me to watch. The Entire letter is here. BigFanBoy.com talked to Thomas Jane about Punisher 2 and a very cool bombshell got dropped. The writer who worked on the Pirates of the Caribbean films Stuart Beattie is on board to write the new Punisher film. He also worked on a draft of 30 days of Night so to say this is some kick ass news is an understatement. The sequel is going to have a Taxi Driver feel according to Thomas Jane. Quote: "It's more of a Taxi Driver kind of a feel which I think we'll go for in the second movie," he says. "I think that's where the first one succeeded, where we were doing more realistic type stuff. And if we can, [we should] get away from the lighter aspects of the first film. Because I think that's where the movie failed." We will see how it progresses. The big question is where Marvel stands on the sequel, and not so much what Thomas Jane wants

Quelle bonne idée! Voyons voir.. comment commencer ça? Étape 1 : déterminer (par vote peut-être?) les paramètres de ces dinstinctions. J'invite tout le monde à partager leur opinion! --------------------------------------- 1. Quelle nom? What name? Les "Academy Awards" ont leurs "Oscars". Quel nom devrait on donner à notre prix Mtlurb? 2. Quelles catégories? Quelques idées : Meilleur projet complété durant l'année courante, pire projet complété durant l'année courante, meilleure proposition, meilleur développeur, etc. 3. Comment déterminer les gagnants? Par un simple vote des membres du forum? Devrait-on faire des nominations en premier lieu? 4. Quelle devrait être la durée des votes? Est-ce que le vote est cachée pour ajouter du suspense au dévoilement des résultas? 5. Est-ce que ça devrait être un prix annuel? Aux 2 ans? Aux 6 mois? Etc. Allez! Discussion! Je me porte volontaire pour créer le fil officiel et mettre tout plein de jolis graphiques et rendre ça cool une fois que l'étape de planification est terminée!

4 étages dans le quartier Tétreaultville. L'architecture est correct et la densité semble assez bien. Par contre je n'aime pas le nom. Pourquoi Soho ? Juste pour faire cool ? http://www.carresoho.com/

Je ne sais pas si cela a déjà été posté, mais j'au vu ça sur spacingmontreal: "Cette ancienne enseigne murale que l’on aperçoit de la rue Sherbrooke à NDG fut redécouverte il y a de cela quelques mois suite à la démolition d’un immeuble incendié." Trop cool!

Damn this Dodge Challenger cop car is pretty bad ass! It would be really cool if the Montreal police got a couple of these! We ought to replace our fleet of minivans (yuck), with Dodge Chargers! In fact, Montreal is the only police force that I know of that uses minivans!

http://www.geosimphilly.com/index.aspx The city planning option is pretty cool.

Just curieux... je pensais à ça tantôt : il y en a tu entre vous qui sont sur Facebook et/ou qui voudraient créer un groupe?

SPG.tv Pretty cool site. There is a small video on the W Montreal.

Ne sachant pas trop où mettre ça, on pourrait se faire un fil avec des choses vues dans les rues de Montréal. Je commence avec: il y a une mega grue géante sur la rue René levesque ce soir. Si quelqu'un pouvait aller prendre une photo ça serai cool Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

According to Leftcoaster on SSP - some more developments in the works around the Bell Center with apparently neat architecture. However one big idea was apparently abandoned recently - I wonder why

Printemps érable: la plus cool des révoltes. A Montréal, les étudiants, soutenus par les Québécois, ont inventé la plus cool des révoltes. Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, 21 ans, étudiant en histoire, star du mouvement étudiant québécois, a presque les mêmes lunettes de soleil que Ryan Gosling dans Drive. Il nous reçoit dans l’arrière-cour d’un café du quartier Latin de Montréal, et lorsque notre photographe l’emmène quelques instants dans la rue pour le photographier, l’un des porte-parole de la Classe (Coalition large de l’Association pour une solidarité syndicale étudiante) fait son petit effet. “Gabriel, Gabriel !” Des filles l’interpellent gentiment et se pincent de l’avoir vu – comme dans un teen movie. Quelques heures avant notre rencontre, une Montréalaise d’un âge respectable nous a confié : “Il est tellement hot.” Celui que l’on surnomme GND essaie pourtant de ne pas tout prendre sur ses jeunes épaules : à notre rendez-vous – fixé avec son attaché de presse Ludvic, coiffé à la semi-iroquoise et fan de Sonic Youth (difficile de faire plus hype) -, il vient en compagnie de Camille Robert, jolie rousse aux yeux translucides. A la Classe, pas de hiérarchie, pas de personnification de la lutte et la parité surtout, nous dit-on. Dans toutes les interviews qu’il a données à la presse – un paquet depuis le 13 février, date du début du printemps érable -, l’ange Gabriel affirme qu’il ne poursuivra pas la politique. Pas de plan de carrière. En revanche, l’engagement, lui, semble durable. Une bonne partie du Québec se montre prête à poursuivre l’aventure, ou du moins à continuer à la dessiner, collectivement. Un modèle de révolte cool et connecté Au parc Emilie-Gamelin, où se retrouvent chaque soir les Montréalais mobilisés, on est certes de moins en moins nombreux, et les casseroles sur lesquelles on tape dur font un peu moins de bruit. Mais la colère reste profonde, s’enracine. Surtout, les kids qui ont lancé le mouvement impressionnent encore.. http://www.lesinrocks.com/2012/07/03/actualite/printemps-erable-revolte-cool-11273816/

C'est comme cool! Source USA Today Sears Tower unveils 103rd floor glass balconies CHICAGO — Visitors to the Sears Tower's new glass balconies all seem to agree: The first step is the hardest. "It's like walking on ice," said Margaret Kemp, of Bishop, Calif., who said her heart was still pounding even after stepping away from the balcony. "That first step you take — 'am I going down?"' Kemp was among the visitors who got a sneak preview of the balconies Wednesday. "The Ledge," as the balconies have been nicknamed, open to the public Thursday. RELATED: Ten tips for Chicago tourists The balconies are suspended 1,353 feet in the air and jut out four feet from the building's 103rd floor Skydeck. They're actually more like boxes than balconies, with transparent walls, floor and ceiling. FIND MORE STORIES IN: Sears, Roebuck and Company Visitors are treated to unobstructed views of Chicago from the building's west side and a heart-stopping vista of the street and Chicago River below — for those brave enough to look straight down. John Huston, one of the property owners of the Sears Tower, even admitted to getting "a little queasy" the first time he ventured out. But 30 or 40 trips later, he's got the hang of it. "The Sears Tower has always been about superlatives — tallest, largest, most iconic," he said. "Today is also about superlatives. Today, we present you with 'the Ledge,' the world's most awesome view, the world's most precipitous view, the view with the most wow in the world." The balconies can hold five tons, and the glass is an inch-and-a-half thick, officials said. Sears Tower officials have said the inspiration for the balconies came from the hundreds of forehead prints visitors left behind on Skydeck windows every week. Now, staff will have a new glass surface to clean: floors. "It's very scary, but at the same time it's very cool," said Chanti Lawrence of Atlanta, adding that she's made her first step toward overcoming her fear of heights. Adam Kane, 10, of Alton, Ill., rushed to the ledge with his friends and siblings, and they each eagerly pressed their faces to the glass bottom. "Look at all those tiny things that are usually huge," Adam said. The balconies are just one of the big changes coming to the Sears Tower. The building's name will change to Willis Tower later this summer. Last week, officials announced a 5-year, $350 million green renovation complete with wind turbines, roof gardens and solar panels. With the ledge, visitors like Kemp said the nation's tallest building has succeeded in creating something they've never seen before. "I had to live 70 years for a thrill like this," she said.

Why did the Republicans lose the election? How should party members go about rebuilding America's Conservative Party? My problems with party (in order): 1. Too dependent on white evangelical and redneck support (they need to be able to attract educated northern voters and minorities too). Since when did the party that abolished slavery become a party that many racists support? 2. Too many half-wits. When someone of Sarah Palin's intelligence is considered a rising star in the party you have a big problem. 3. Too corrupt. During the tenure of the Bush administration we constantly heard stories of corrupt officials. 4. Too far right. I am a conservative myself. But there are just some members of this party who are a little extreme for me. 5. No new ideas. Where's the daring new schemes of the Reagan era? What happened to the days when it was cool to be conservative? The Party also seems to be suffering from unity problems. There are the McCain Republicans (Rudy Giuliani, Ron Paul, etc) and the Bush Republicans (Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney). It seems similar to the divisions in the Canadian Liberal Party between the Martin Liberals and Chrétien Liberals. In short, the Republicans need their own version of Obama. A good speaker and debater, a uniter not a divider and an intelligent person. If Harper was American he'd make a great leader despite the fact that he's not the best speaker. McCain would make a great leader but is hampered by his lack of knowledge on the economy.

Encore plus évident: la famille idéale habite encore à Montréal??? :silly: :stirthepot:

Un vieux projet que j'avais oublié... qu'est ce que vous en pensez? C'est pas fini encore bien sur, il n'y a pas de textures et les images ne sont pas des rendus mais bien des "previews" seulement (ce qui explique le look pixelé) - Il n'y a pas de base non plus. Est-ce que la couronne est cool ou je devrais l'oter?
