    Any Motorcyclists?

    I learned on a EX500 Suzuki bike, it was surprisingly easy yet powerful enough to get me used to the speed. Also I would recommend the Honda Rebel, which is small enough to learn on as well with far less power than the EX500 but still enough to learn on. I had been riding for years when I...

    Gustav AAR

    Most importantly, i'm glad to see that you made it out okay. I am truly grateful that nothing happened to you in the storm. However.... Baton down the hatch for round 2. Ike "appears" headed for Corpus Christi, however calculations are putting it more towards the Houston area. This has been a...

    its time to play, hurricane preparedness drills.

    Are you ready Texas? Ike seems to be a bit SW of Houston, however some 5 day cones are putting right on top of the bay. How nice.... Once again, get out the old dusty Hurricane kit, and see what beans and franks looks like after 3 years in the cellar.

    So what is new?

    Radu, Nice to see you again. I think the wait was long enough. New is the forums, but everything else is the same again.

    Non violent communication

    You did what was right, and not with the conformity of society (around you). They mocked you and told you what an idiot you were. Hmmmm.... sounds like were back in High School. Just because you didn't dress like them, wear your hair like them, ohhhh... launder money like them, they turned you...

    Making burn calculations

    I really like the use of the jerk, I would think that you are using Cherry's mathematics, or the Tgo theory, more importantly T-t.

    Non violent communication

    There is a fine rule I like to call tact. And i've especially had to address that here on the forums. I would more than likely be banned lifetime if we had infractions on what I think of some people. I have similar disagreements with my boss as well. I have to take into account ethics...

    What makes you worthy?

    I think you miss the significance of the thread, what is important to me is far different from what is worthy to me. I especially found it this week. What is worthy in others rather than yourself, we as humans oft steal what we like in others, it's in our nature to imitate others whom we like...

    What makes you worthy?

    Quite odd that I'm going through something right now that made me think why a person is so worthy. My brother recently passed away, and I've been in regressive mode lately, and the biggest thing that he did not have a lot of money, nor many riches, lived very modestly. And the biggest thing...

    McCain Chooses Palin as Running Mate

    I thought it was a joke too... But I was wrong. However the American Election turns out, it will be a historic one. I thought Obama would choose Hillary as a VP, but I can see why he did not. However I thought he would choose his veep based on the vote getters, Palin was a very popular...

    Gulf Coast Lottery

    is your evacuation route the 10? My brother lives in La Porte and I don't know where exactly that is in relation to you, but his evacuation route is the 10. I wonder if you guys are close to each other?

    Gulf Coast Lottery

    All I have to say is that there is a path that I really don't like, its appropriately colored in black in the wunderground site. But that track would land it close to where I live and if its cat 3 or around there it will have cat 1 winds when it hits me.

    Gulf Coast Lottery

    I see you have not had a visitor this year, Although this is my first year near the Gulf coast, I would have to say I left Florida right before Fay took a whack at me. So in theory, or in paranoia, i'm not quite sure yet, they are following me. I do believe that one will head towards Texas.

    Plane slips off runway in Madrid

    MD-82's have the JT-8D which have no FADEC, however still you can use a reduced EPR. They have the "envelope" for reduction in EPR. Which still have power of the day requirements, however you still make power. If you exceed power of the day or the engine does not meet the power settings, which...

    Plane slips off runway in Madrid

    No, most airlines have a "flex" thrust takeoff, this is a trick on the FADEC telling the motor that it's colder and you can use lesser thrust on takeoff, this is a massive savings when it comes to fuel. If you don't reach Vr this would indicate your not making power of the day, which is a...

    Confusing picture

    The second one appears to be a more zoomed version of the first, the shuttle is definitely higher off the ground. Perhaps about a 1-2 second break, and a much higher zoom.

    Need some advice...

    I'm not a doctor or anything, but it sounds like an ACL or MCL tear, and those surgeries however minor they call them, Hurt like a b****. It would be more pleasant giving birth to a cow, IMHO.

    Confusing picture

    F-22 from Homestead AFB cover launches, they are not chase they are deemed "escorts" such as the F-16's that cover mission control during all missions. During a mission you can look outside to see at least a pair of "escorts" flying cover around there. I just learned that from going to the NASA...
