Some good Australian and New Zealand shows too. Mystery Road is great. Two seasons and each season cover a single crime. Miss Fisher is lots of fun too and takes place in 1920s Australia. Light at times which is not a bad thing. Brokenwood is a New Zealand production and is also very good. Episodic so you dont need to binge. My Life is Murder is great and a fun way to pretend you are in Melbourne.

I have a friend who broke his leg mountain climbing about 7 years ago. He had a titanium rod inserted through his knee. He has no pain in his leg now and it seems fully healed. However he has a host of other ailments (primarily extreme fatigue) that he is attributing to poisoning from the titanium rod. Has anyone had their hardware removed after their broken leg was fully healed? Has anyone else suffered from fatigue after their rod was placed in their leg that never went away? I have not heard of titanium poisoning and was just wondering if anyone has any experience with this sort of thing. thanks for thoughts

Sounds fun.... but how does that kill the moles?

Thanks for the knowledge everyone, good stuff.

I just forgot to put the A after the F. Lots of knowledge ensued though so cant say I have any regrets. Legit question, the F-16 and F-15E can also attack ground targets but are not designated F/A, any reason? Or is that like saying an A-10 with a sidewinder is a fighter? Which its clearly not designed as. Either way, I thought the video was very cool and can only once again say those pilots are awesome.

Not sure if this is an F-18 or the electronic warfare variant but the video is cool as hell. Wish I had good eyesight and the stones to be a fighter pilot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf_hdFSnOEI&feature=player_embedded

Whoops! My apologies. Winnipeg. As someone who owns a "Canada Kicks Ass" T-shirt this was doubly troubling. Season starts tonight!!!!

Rangers will either win the cup or come in 9th in the Eastern conference. Stoked for Winnepeg and their fans. Would like to see the Oilers make the playoffs, some really exciting talent on that team.

I dont know why exactly, but I like everything about the AN-2. Awesome pics thanks for sharing

Such a sad off-season for hockey.

"Do some research on all of those - you have a lot of homework to do to become informed on this subject." This is why I was asking. I have never bought a gun. I really do appreciate the response. What is the objection to putting rifle or handgun purchases into a database? First off Very few (if any) crimes have been solved or leads given by a data base Second It is the first step toward confiscation. As history has proven *** Are you speaking specifically of a weapons database? If you mean databases in general I cannot agree with what you are saying. Fingerprint databases, financial transaction records, license plates and a host of other databases have been used to convict criminals. When has a weapons database been used in the past to take people's guns?

It would seem to me that if you limit the purchase to one assault rifle a month? you could lower the amount of weapons being used to slaughter people in mexico. depending on which stats you believe anywhere from 90 to 10 percent. Why cant we do this? thoughts?

Why do people need to buy assault rifles or any gun in bulk?

I gotta be honest I originally thought he meant Slow chickens. Statistically I do not know where a majority of the gun crime in the US takes place and can only assume that it takes place in the most populated portions of the country, the northeast corridor and coastal california. As for more guns less crime I think in an urban environment the argument does not work. More people means more opportunities for crimes of passion, revenge crimes, things of that nature. There are more people in cities so therefore more chances for someone to do something rash. If guns are more available in these situations you will have more shootings. Since guns are designed to kill you will have more homicides, as you already do. I live in NYC and have lived in two other cities, both with populations over ten million. I see no reason for anyone in these cities to have a gun and do not see gun ownership as a way to stave off crime. I feel very comfortable here and that is not because I am armed but because I have full faith in the NYPD. As for parts of the country where they have show chickens I have no opinion, I have never lived there. If some animal was about eat one of my show chickens I would probably shoot it. Seems reasonable. For me though I live in adensely populated place with different issues than other parts of the country.

Very cool tour indeed. How the astronauts orient themselves withing the ISS while moving about and working is really something else.

Apparently the bars got full earlier than usual for a Tuesday afternoon. I didnt even even feel a thing.

1) Never used a head hunter but get calls about twice a week from them. 2A) All the calls I get are industry specific (finance) 2B) Sometimes they say they are looking to recruit to a specific firm. Other times it seems that they are interested more in having a stable of talent. (Why they call me I do not know) 3) There are large executive search firms that might cover multiple fields. I think though if a headhunter calls you because you are an excellent engineer they would be looking to place you with another engineering firm.

All headed in for the flying legends airshow. I wish I lived in your house!

Its been a funny thing for me. I read the books in college and have re-read them a number of times. My roomates back in college would give me all sorts of flak for reading "those dragon books." Now they have all started them and are watching the show. Also see a lot of people on the train reading the series. Vindication.

Hey coach you want the foil?

I was thinking the same thing. A little wakeboarding with an option to hook up to one of those anti-ship missiles that go Mach 3.
