Make sure that you place the finales at the end! I'm still not sure which one you want to put at the very end, though.

Maybe you should put Caballer's at the end? It was the most intense, after all. You can put all the finales in order of intensity. All the other segments should go at the beginning.

What do you think?

Trav.

ok here is the list, i will first show u the list and then tell u the reasons why i placed them this way

1. mondialsaq2004 (videos from mondialsaq.com)
2. jns1 - 4 (from the board)
3. sunny1 - 3 incl. final (from the board)
4. ruggieri1 - 3 incl. final (from the board)
5. weco1 - 3 incl. final (from the board)
6. holland1 - 2 (from Paul, sent by Alain guy)
7. Francia (from Kaplin)
8. Alemania (from Kaplin)
9. caballer.bsr (from badnitrus)
10. laronde120604 (from Salutes lover)
11. espagne190604 (from Salutes lover)
12. japon260604 (from Salutes lover)
13. espagne100704 (from Salutes lover)
14. china170704 (from Salutes lover)
15. allemagne240704 (from Salutes lover)
16. laronde280704 (from Salutes lover)

ok, as u can see i placed them like the schedule list's order, becuz i thought it would be nicer and more appropriate
all the videos that r from the same source r placed together (which i believe this way is better)

and the reason why i didnt place caballer.bsr file at the very end this is becuz again i wanted to follow schedule list's order, so now the closing is placed at the end, its still a good ending despite the fact that its recorded from the wrong direction

of course this is my opinion, ures might be a different from mine

Enkil,

A very logical order. Actually, it isn't a bad idea to put it in that order. You're right about La Ronde's finale, too. It really is great, especially considering the way we saw it. Remember? All that smoke in the way. At least Pierre was fortunate to see it nicely!

Don't worry about it. I kinda prefer it like that, too!

Regards,

Trav.

Yep, you are right Trav......I did see the last display of 2004 clearly and I guess I was fortunate, but I wasn't there for the IPON's display this year and I STILL regret it to this day!!!

I guess I will never get over it (looking for the crying smiley, but can't find it) LOL

I hope you are enjoying the end of the Summer, guys!

Well, we are enjoying it, except it's been rather cool lately, especially today with all the rain and wind! It's the remnants of hurricane Frances!

As for IPON's finale, I still hope someone actually has it!

Trav.

yeah, today was really crazy

Smoke, did u stay outside today?

i have to always walk from here to school, about 10 min,

there was alot of wind, but ALOT of rain, even if i got all wet, i can tell u it's always fun, its not something that u see everyday, but of course today wasnt the worst, ive experinced much stronger ones

Enkil,

At times, I did have to be outside, but not long. I can tell you, though, that by the time I took a 5-minute walk, I was soaked like I just took a shower!

The rain should ease off late overnight and head off to the Maratimes.

Can you imagine if this was happening during a fireworks display?

Regards,

Trav.

well Smoke,

even if i got this weather today, i still think it was the worst day of the week, its really embrassing trying to hold ure umbrella through the wind, however at the same time its kinda fun

but i say it was the worst day, becuz of today's weather, today i just got a taste of how hard my math 536 course will be, already the challenging parts r here, cant believe its still not over after last year's course
i did a "the copper" test at gym today, no doubt tomorrow i will be hurt everywhere (basicly u have to run around the gym and count how many turns u did, really stupid) if i had a choice to change my gym course for math or french i really would consider

anyway, back to the topic, u know even if it rained like that during a fireworks display, i would still stand (like England's night), id want to see everything,
quite crazy, but possible

Enkil,

I know what you mean. An umbrella was pointless today for me because it kept blowing it away. Instead, I improvised and used my jacket over my head. This worked, although I looked kinda funny.

It was definitely the worst day of the week. Believe it or not, I just finished my homework! It was a wet, a cool 14-15 degree for a high, a lot of congestion on the highways and streets, accidents, winds, well, you get the picture.

It seems you're in a tough math course. I'm well aware of the 536 program. I heard it really isn't that hard. In fact, I heard that it's a lot easier than 436, according to what my friends tell me. To tell you the truth, I had the opportunity to take both 436 and 536, but I just withdrew and went into 416 and 514. Now I regret that. This is why I'm going to take them at McGill in January. I want to take all the math courses, including Calculus. It shouldn't be that hard, plus, I love math! It's very challenging, but tedious.

As for memories of England, yes, today reminded me of that. The wind then the rain that came after 10:30! I still remember. It would've been worse if it was like today's measurable and torrential rains!

Regards,

Trav.

Smoke,

math 436 and 536 is not that hard, its just that they put too much stuff in one stage, but if u look at it, its not that complicated, but for me i take alot of time to understand, i need to make sure i understand, and has to be perfect

its just that u cant take life easy, u have to work alot in math, i still find math as the hardest course of all time, along French

it can be fun, cuz its kinda challenging, but it can drive u crazy

but my favourite course of all time with be without a doubt history

Enkil,

Math is one of my favorite topics. I always say that math is like a language, meaning you've got to know and learn many concepts. Some concepts may require a lot of stages, but with practice and working with it, you'll be able to overcome anything. I was always good at math and I loved it all the years. When I took 514 and 416, I found it boring.

It may be ranked one of the toughest subjects, but, as you say, it's very challenging, and I love to be challenged.

As for history, I never liked it. Way tooooooooooooooo boring for me! No offence to you.

Looks like you're interested in history? A good profession. Perhaps the history of pyrotechnics?

Regards,

Trav.

how cant u find history interessing?

everytime i enter to that course, i just wish the stories continues, i always want to stay there for hours and just listen the teacher talking, lol

u know what i found very interessing about Canadian history? its how Quebecers r descends of France and how Canadians and Americans r descends of England, i mean i would have never though about that in my whole life

just a few days ago, my history teacher was talking about politics, terrorism, and i can say it was one the greatest course i had, i was so into up, that i started giving answers
when asked to others, how was the course was, they said it was boring, lol

yes u can say im a history fantatic

Enkil,

It looks like you love history! I remember grade 10 history, but I forgot everything! Although I find it interesting how Quebec's history goes way back, particularly the way all the bridges were named, like Jacques-Cartier, or Champlain. All I remember was that the initial stage of sounthern Quebec was New France, a former colony of France, but I think Jacques Cartier was supposed to find a route to China and ended up in the St-Lawrence and discovered Hochelaga, now Montreal, and Stadacona, now Quebec City. I also think he was supposed bring back gold and spices and other materials, but he failed to do that, too. All his voyages were failures, I think, but he did meet the native Indians and adapted to their culture and learned much about them, particularly a medicine to combat scurvy. I remember other key factors like the revolutions and acts that were passed and the war that ended up in a stalemate in 1812. That's pretty much it!

Anyways, I think after talking about history so much, I would like to learn the history of pyrotechnics. All I know is that its origins are in Liuyang. I've learned a lot about it from Sunjh.

BTW, today marks something that will go down in history. Today is September 11th! 3 years since those terrorist attacks.

Regards,

Trav.

Well, I just found it interesting the way you refered to the way that "We, as the human race, are constantly increasing our population to great numbers over the years. Our planet alone cannot handle this capacity . . ." I've heard this hogwash over and over for decades now. Here's a little math problem for you . . . What is the area that each human on this planet would have to themselves, if they were all placed in an area the size of Jacksonville, Florida? How about just under 4 square feet for each man, woman, and child on the planet . . . Gee, if each one of them would have enough space to stand, without even having to touch each other, then there ought to be plenty of room for all of them if we actually spread them out around the planet. The problem with starvation, drought, and such is much more an issue of political control than the weather. If Ida Amin (sorry for the spelling problem) had'nt moved so many of his countries people off of their fertile land into the desert, then we would'nt had to watch their people starve year after year.

Mike,

It's not in the context of taking up space alone, but rather the relation of overpopulation having an impact on our natural resources, particularly in the Third World nations, where population is a main concern because of high fertility rates and because of the inefficiency of using the available resources. This is why starvation and other related diseases occur. The main concept here is that population will eventually exceed the available resources. This comes into being when one describes the concept of overconsumption, especially in the industrialized and developed world. The more people there are in these nations the more consumption there will be and thus things will expand.

As for the weather, population can have an impact on this, especially when one considers global warming. Smog and other emitted matter or particulates are strating to become more and more of a problem, not to mention vehicle use. All of these and more are contributors, especially in the summer, when photochemical smog takes place in major metropolitain areas.

Anyways, this topic is still very much contraversial and many sides have there own opinion on the matter, especially on the economic and environmental sides.

So, if you'd like, lets get back to fireworks.
