The best way to handle the Uganda anti-homosexual law is to sic "Human Rights Watch" on them. The group has experience in the region having done such a great job "watching" the Rwandan genocide.

No doubt a couple of bigoted southern, Repub honkies ... What was the point in fighting the Civil War!? Oh! ...my mistake, they're from Chicago and Philly (southside?) ...sorry Edit to add: "... (He) has also been a vocal opponent of mixed race relationships and believes black men and white women should not date. ..." and "Interestingly, (the other "poet"), who will also join the White House celebration, opposes interracial relationships, as well."

I'll support that. especially served with rice and beans, cuban chicken, and fried plantains You must be a FL boy. That is part of the menu for "Noche Buena." Hold it! Hold it! ...this conversation is waaay too civil for SC. If you guys don't watch it the greenies will boot this thread up to the Bonfire.

I was lucky enough to go to an engineering school in a community near a local junior college and a beach.

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy. "Yes I did, I shot her You know, I caught her messin' round, messin' round town ,,,,"

Well, then...you can look at mine. (Probably not as cool, though)

Feliç d'estar d'assistència.

Try translate.google.com If you enter "A really 'rubbish' busker" into the box and translate to Catalan you will get the result, "Un músic de carrer realment 'escombraries'". If you then enter that result back into the box and translate from Catalan into English you will get "A street musician truly 'junk'". Now it begins to make sense ...sorta.

I dunno ...I was brought up on Italian/Sicilian food. As far as TV chefs go, I liked Justin Wilson, "the Cajun Cook".

The spelling Bwahahahahahaha! ...this from a culture that eats things called "banger", "digestive biscuit" and "spotted dick". If it wasn't for the misspelling I wouldn't have believed you even have a word for flavor.

...or a big chunk of nanothermite.

Yeah ...or if the outlet check valve is corroded shut then the high pressure air could be forced back out of the intake. I would think that's unlikely, but possible, I suppose.

You guessed right. I can see the metal leaf and it it appears to be intact. Nothing is broken. What other possible issues that can be associated with air being pumped out of air intake? Well, if nothing is broken then I guessed wrong!

I'm sure that not every Pakistani cop or soldier would have known. By "authorities" I meant high gov't officer, president, etc. I don't think the "investigators" who worked the scene (in the absence of any survivors) would have said. "OMG, where's Osama!" Moot point anyway. "We" still should have kept it secret for awhile, IMO.

How would that have given away the fact that (specifically) Osama was there? Edit to add: I did forget that there were survivors.

But! ...would they (Pakistani authorities) have known that Bin Laden had been there for years? They "shouldn't" have known, and if they are to be believed they didn't, but I wonder how they would have reacted if they did know but didn't want to admit they knew? (I believe they did.)

Joe Biden! ...Is that you!?

Why do we even know about this raid. I'm just a little surprised that we were told anything this soon. I would have thought that we would have kept a lid on the whole incident ...at least until we had a chance to analyze some of the intel without showing our hand. Also, keeping it secret would have provided some insight with regard to who knew what by observing reactions from various "players" as the Pakistani gov't investigated the aftermath and details were released by them. As far as the action itself, it seems to me that the only way Osama would have been taken prisoner is if there was complete cooperation. I think that if there was even the slightest possibility of losing him they were to take him out. I don't care either way. Good job! to all involved.

Just to clarify ...depending on the compressor and design there could be check valves of different types at various locations on the unit. I'm guessing the one associated with the air intake at the cylinder head is the problem. If you have a "reed" type check valve you need to inspect the reed (actually a thin metal leaf) to see if it has missing pieces. If it does you will need to be sure that the pieces are not inside the cylinder because it potentially can cause internal damage. Like others have said, you can get parts at various industrial supply houses. Or you may have to order the part from the manufacturer. Also, there are types of compressors other than the "cylinder" type (rotary, diaphragm, etc.) and even the various cylinder types can have different intake valve arrangements.

My guess is that he's fishing for Kermit Weeks to buy the sign to go with the rest of it.

Reed valve or check valve is broken.
