You can select Charlotte. I didn't know we built a new runway recently.

 

Vegas is frightening

Yep, another one on the way too.

 

Check out the Aral Sea video if you haven't.

 

That is probably one of the best examples of just how much human activity can decimate an ecosystem. After that sea evaporated it not only destroyed the local fishing villages, it also created increased drought conditions to the east of the lake. Truly incredible how something the size of a some of the Great Lakes is nearly completely gone in only 30 years.

I've been waiting for this type of stuff to start gaining traction.  City by city its been available through GIS services for a decent while but as these layers/files get more accessible to the public, there could be some really cool stuff.  Utilize the whole 3D warehouse idea and chart historical context...basically have people reconstruct 3D google earth style cities and maps and the best rated buildings/city plans are the one's used.

Check out the oil sands in Alberta. It looks like they are unzipping the earth. 

it deserves being unzipped from time to time!!!

 

 

little known fact...the oil sands were discovered because there are many spots where the deposits are so close to the surface that on warm days, the oil literally oozes out of the earth.  Many moons ago, local natives and fur traders used this oozing oil for water proofing etc.  Before man came along, this oil was oozing everywhere, including and especially on the banks of the local water ways.

 

point being...not all you read about the oil sands being terrible and a huge environmental disaster is true.  For that, you need to google coal

    • One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.
    • I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.   
    • So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
