  1. The use of DU is horrible, I agree. I think both dem and repub presidents have condoned its use, isn't that right?

  2. You consistently confuse the failure of an individual with the failure of the organization/group. From the many replies to my posts, one would think that the dems claim to adhere to absolutely no standards. Or perhaps that the dems would refuse to admit to any standards so that they can never be guilty of breaking them. The standards of which I refer do not have to be morality/bible related. I am talking about instances where dems are forgiven, even applauded by their own party for transgressions that get a repub booted out by their own party.

  3. In other words, when republicans do bad things it's good people making mistakes. When democrats do the same things it's bad people showing their true nature. Or is it the other way around? Your "in other words" are not at all what how I would say it, not at all. The dems defend their members when they are caught in such scandals, seeing it as a virtue for them to stay just to prevent their adversaries from having a victory. Big difference, I think.

  4. It only APPEARS that way to the rabid right... otherwise.. why do SOOO many of the champions of what is morality.. and wish to tell EVERYONE how to live their lives....keep getting caught with their pants down. Because humans are quite fallible. Is it better to not have high standards?

  5. My memory is that there was also a pull test that could be done - if no distortion the rings were OK. A few places set up the needed equipment to conduct the test.

  6. I think it unreasonable to believe an organization that claims high standards will be without personal scandal. It doesn't mean that the pursuit of the high standards is wrong. That seems to be the message you would like to take away from this, that it shouldn't be a scandal for anyone. Difference is, the dems appear to have decided to be the party of low standards.

  7. Unsprung weight has nothing to do with it. A lighter tire and wheel assembly will reduce the rotational mass, and it will be easier to make it accelerate, but it has nothing to do with it being unsprung weight.

  8. The Civic does very well compared to other vehicles in its class in terms of acceleration. One must be willing to rev it up if you really need to get going fast. The VTEC doesn't even kick in until about 4500 rpm depending on the engine. Some aren't comfortable with that, and are only happy with an engine that never needs to be pushed past 3000 rpm. Such an engine will be much larger in displacement in a larger, heavier car. A word of caution concerning the Civic Si, depending on which model year, the gear ratios will have it turning about 4000 rpm at 70 mph, which can be uncomfortable for some.

  9. No, it is not. I think they've made some CVT (continuously variable trans - very few were made) that can be put in a mode that simulates a manual transmission, but that is as close as they have come.

  10. Honda makes a great auto and manual transmission for the Civic. You can't go wrong mechanically with either. I can't speak to the issues of clutch withdrawal syndrome, I've never been afflicted with that condition. Of course I've driven both, just never got addicted to a manual. Convertibles are plagued with troubles, stay away if you want dependability and resale value. I can help you with all Honda questions, I spent 10 years designing interiors for them.

  12. Remember that a classic PLF was conceived for use under a round parachute with a lot of vertical speed, and not so much horizontal speed. If you try to do the same thing a lot of forward/horizontal and little vertical speed you might be body slammed to the ground. Also, having your feet and knees together is good for a PLF, but if you have to run out a landing (residual horiz speed/no vert speed at the end) you'll do better to have your feet separated fore-aft slightly, and 'sliding/surfing' at first is very common instead of trying to start your feet running immediately. Watch others land and see what you think. All of that assumes that you are able to get your canopy to 'plane out' (no vertical speed) before you touch down. You should be able to do that given your canopy and loading, if not then coaching for flying the wing is in order. A nice stand up landing definitely makes the whole jump seem better, you'll get to where that is easy. Good luck.

  13. If you spell Grumman correctly, you'll find out more about it. It looks to be completely unsuitable for jumping. Even if the design wasn't bad for jumping, the plane needs to be approved for it by the FAA. So, even if the pilot would let you do it over an approved DZ (he shouldn't), you shouldn't do it because you would be risking his license and it is dangerous to try to extricate yourself out of such unsuitable airplanes. It is so tempting to want to convince every plane owner out there to let you fall out of it, but it is simply no good for a lot of reasons.

  14. I think it is a good idea. Of course lots of food can be said to be unhealthy, but calories from added sugar is sooo bad. Of course their parents can feed them crap all day long at home, but they shouldn't be able to buy it at school. Your kid will have good habits regardless. They could celebrate birthdays with stuff that wasn't so loaded with empty calories. I pack both of my kid's lunch (5th and 8th grade) everyday, they usually get juice, but it doesn't have any added sugar.

  15. Have you ever tried to ride a 125 at even just 55mph? Cruising at near redline engine speed isn't really cruising, it is not much fun at all. Even a 250 is just not very realistic for highway speeds. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  16. Sounds perfect. Still, get a prenuptual agreement before marrying anyone, no matter how much you think it will offend them.

  17. Those that land on their ass tend to put their feet way out in front of them on landing. No way can you support yourself if your feet aren't under you. Perhaps practice landings, where you run off (running very fast) something 2 to 3 feet high and practice running it out would help. On the rare landing I don't stand up, it always seems that I go down to my knees, which would be better for you than your ass.

  18. Jene i'm disappointed.. you've been around long enough to recall the "Metal Men" from Dr. Who.... They said, "Resistance is useless." Same as the Vogons from Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

  23. Twatwaffles? Where did that come from? Is it just a random combination of words from different columns, like column A is slang genital body parts, column B is food items?

  24. Is it just wanting to look cool - hey everybody look at me I'm a high-tech savvy person? I would think it very irritating to keep it in your ear for such long periods of time, same as headphones for MP3 players. Do the microphones work well, being so far from the mouth? Is that part of the reason they talk so loud? I don't have a cell phone anymore.
