O.K I agree with the firm hand shake thing but why? What is it that makes us feel uncomfortable about the limp fish. My guess is that it has some thing to do with our natural instinct for aggression. For example, if my dog meets a submissive dog, she will try to kill it. No warning. No second thought, Just straight up hatred and intolerance for it. Any body have a different theory?

Don't they use them to make Rhesus Pieces out of?

There are few thing as rewarding as risking it all for some one else. Good job dude

[ I doubt even the cartels have the money to build one though. reply] Not true. they definitely have the cash but they lack the contractors to build it in secret. A few years back, there was a russian guy that tried to broker a deal between a drug cartel and the moth balled russian fleet, but was foiled by the good old FBI

Yea but I doubt that those mamby pamby producers at the Discovey channel would never let that happen

When I donate my body to science I'm hoping that my corps can be used in high speed crash test or something else cool like that. How cool would that be to be straped into a vehicle hauling ass down a road at high speed until KABLAMMO right into another car or something. Try that in life it's going to hurt do it while your dead and no big deal. "Woohoo! Lets do it again. Lets do it again" If you can't have fun when your dead then whats the frigging point?

I'm going to have my body donated to sicence. That way, there is no funeral cost to my family and maybe just maybe some young medical student can learn some thing that will help him or her save a life later on. I've been thinking of getting a full body tattoo that would show all of my internal organs and blood vessels exactly where they should be under my skin. Then I want to get another tattoo of a dotted line running down from below my neck all the way down my chest to the abdomen where it would then split off to either side effectivly giving a cut line to open me completely up. Next I want to get a tattoo where the dotted line begins that reads." Pay attention kid. This shits important." The only problem is that the wife's not into the tattoo idea. something about freaking out the kids in the neighborhood or something. Sheeesh Penn and Teller did a great piece on the death industry. I think everyone should see it. Lots of eye opening info. Check it out. You'll be glad you did. the CD series is called Bullshit and you can find it on at Blockbuster. Here is a piece of worthy death advice. Don't buy a funeral plot. Why? Because, They cost alot of money that could be better spent on the living and, society hates a rotting corps. They will take care of it. I promise

Isn't she that chick from the Partridge family?

I can build one for you. PM me if interested Kevin

Still another way to slow a machine down is to install a rheostat control switch on the motors electrical feed, this will allow you to adjust the speed of the motor with the turn of a knob, in much the same way as volume knob on a radio works. Mick. Never thought of that. Nice

Hang tough Nick. They may take your testicals but theyt'll never take your BALLS

Here is a little exercise you can do to gain some control. Find a scrap piece of material. Pick a corner to start sewing and begin sewing along one of the edges. Sew all the way until you reach the opposite corner, turn the corner and resume sewing until you reach the next corner. Turn and continue. Keep doing this until you have sown a spiral all the way into the center of the material. Here are some objectives to achieve. 1) Even spacing between stitch rows 2) Reduce the amount the material puckers and shrinks. Do this buy pulling the material tight while sewing but not so tight that you pull it through the machine too fast 3) Try not to over run your stopping points. Speed is not what you are after with this exercise. Instead. You want to be able to achieve a nice and slow stitch speed and maintain it through out the exercise. The machine should sound like "stitch stitch stitch stitch stitch stitch." Not "Stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch. DAMN IT!" Stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch. DAMN IT!" And so on. Just like a clutch on a car, there is a position of the treadal where the treadal has play but doesn't quite yet do anything. You must find where that spot is and then learn to manipulate it.Do this slowly. When sitting at an unfamiliar machine for the first time, I'll first find the neutral point then I'll pump the treadal slightly and quickly until I find where the activation point is and away I go. Give that a try. Of all the outstanding operators I have ever met over the years, none of them sew at top speed and expect to produce fine quality work Bite the bullet man and learn to sew on the machine as it is. It will cost you less and serve you better later on. It only takes a bit of patience

Don't change the pulley just yet and here is why. Slowing the machine down will have nothing to do with how well it sews a particular material. That is determined by how the machine is set up. Factors such as top and bottom tensions, feed dog height, stitch per inch and needle size are what make a machine sew well through a particular type of material. Not speed. Providing that the machine is set up properly, then producing quality becomes a matter of controlling the machine what ever the speed. Remember, it is just a stupid sewing machine and you are not. How hard can it be? The 20U is not “that” fast of a machine. If you slow it down and get used to sewing on it that way, then you'll have problems later on when you move to a faster machine. In other words, you’ll still suck at sewing. When I teach some one how to sew, I always put them on my fastest machine first. I do this for 2 reasons. 1) once they have mastered it, they have mastered all of them 2) It’s damn fun to watch Here is something that you can do instead of changing out your pulley Check the height of the treadle. If the treadle is set too high, the machine will act as if there is too little play in the clutch and the damn thing will take off the moment you put your foot on it. Also, a treadle that is set too high will make it difficult to use the brake. FYI heel all the way down activates the brake (didn’t know that did ya). If you are unable to activate the brake you'll end up with a runaway machine. (Again, damn fun to watch) A good habit to get into is to use the brake every time you stop the needle. This skill sets the pros apart from the armatures I can stop the needle on all of my machines exactly where and when I want simply by using the brake and with out ever touching the hand wheel. How cool is that? O.K. not that cool but it’s kind of cool. Hope this helps. Good luck. Kevin

....dammit, there's a joke in here somewhere.... How about, "Get you tongue out of that mans ass"

On the other hand, I think that a requirement of taking kids to the range for live ammo shooting is not at all the right thing to do. To require it would probably be akin to taking kids on a mandatory tour of the local Planned Parenthood facility for close-up demonstrations of birth control and information about abortions. Wendy W. I think your reaching

I think it's a great idea. What do you think? http://phoenix.cox.net/cci/newslocal/local?_mode=view&view=LocalNewsArticleView&articleId=575255 I still don't know how to make clicky

Those are all great ideas and should be encouraged but they all require taxes paid into the system ensuring enough money for those programs. Under the table workers do not contribute and as such should not benefit. This point is at the very heart of the issue.

Stand up and walk out.

[ And there's the problem. It's not foolproof. I always find it amusing when some one says some thing is " completely fool proof". How does one comprehend the ingenuity of complete fools with out actually being one. And if your a complete fool, how would you really know? My head hurts now. I'm going to lie down now.

I hope you don't take my position to be anti Mexican or Latino. It is not. I guess I could have chosen some of my words better. I am pro American. Know this. I think you are a straight up, super cool motherfucker. I have nothing against anyone seeking to gain entry to this country and improve their lot in life providing they do it legally and contribute to the system rather than place such a strain on it that it falls apart. I anit no native American. My family came here over 150 years ago on a boat. Does that give me any more right to live here than you or your family? Fuck no. But the fact that I am contributing to the system gives me every right to fight to save that system upon which I so depend.

Point taken....But as my father worked ILLEGLLY here in the United States for 15 to 20 yrs with no return from the goverment(tax return)paying his tax's just like the AMERICANS but there's a catch..He never recieveds no tax return for all the hard work,As americans did! Question here is were is all that money the goverment NEVER returned????? And I know my father was not the only one working trying to make a future for his children.So where are those millions or billlons of dollars at? Don't know. I' can't speak about that. I simply don't have any info but, I wouldn't lump your pops in the same group. As you said, he paid into the system there for he should receive the benifits just like every one else. I don' think it's fair that he never got any return, but again, I don't know any thing about how those rules are written. I'm not saying that I think everyone needs to be a citizen. There are plenty of forigen nationals working here legelly and they contribute. I think the best way to put it might be to draw a comparison. If you go to some one elses house to stay for an extended period of time, would you expect that person to pay for all of your needs while you were there? Of course not. You would be a guest. The responsibilty should fall on you to contribute to the house hold as much as possible. Not bleed the poor fucker dry

this has to be better than simply sending them back home so they can make there way back here again. Without some kind of punishment ther is no reason to not keep coming back. Hey yea. They'd still be getting better living conditons than they are getting at home plus free medical and free room and board. And they get to work which is why they came in the first place.The best of both worlds.

how many bankrupt hospitals will it take. how many dead americans due to speeding stolen vehicals filled with illegals will it take. during the debates, the number 7000 a day was used, do the math, we cant absorb that Sure we can. they can all go to EBSB52's house and eat his food. They can also have his job. He apparently doesn't need it because he has lived here in the US for so long that he is now independently wealthy which is why he can afford to pay for their medical and schooling. Good for him. I wish I had his job.
