  1. I've wondered that too. Seems there is 100x more resources being put into catching this guy than the other murders in the that city. It was my understanding part of public service, be that military, PD, firefighter, etc was you were supposed to be putting your life on the line to protect others. Shooting up cars without provocation is the exact opposite of that. I guess I just assumed what made these professions honorable was you were willing to be shot to avoid an innocent/civilian being shot.
  2. Question though: should I extend the vent hose down longer so it's below the engine housing? Right now an overfilled tank would put some fuel on the engine casing.
  3. Trust the media, they know what you need to know. They'll print the Sandy Hook shooters name and plaster his face on everything though to make sure future shooters know they'll be famous.
  4. Good choice, though I like the high-end packages myself ;-) Good to see another Subie Cage - Ducati Bike pairing. If your Duc is red, then we have a pretty similar garage. I didn't bother with winter tires and just put Conti DWS on. And I feel you on the snow, I bought mine November 2011 and we all know how last winter turned out...
  5. No. The canister was the California smog box. Basically it routed fuel tank vapors back into the throttle bodies to be burned. Not required in any other state.
  6. Tell me about it! I took it for a quick spin around the block just to make sure things were still running then back on the charger she goes...
  7. Finally got warm enough to get a few Christmas presents on the Monster! Put Front and rear axle SpeedyMoto sliders on as well as pulled the ugly Cali emissions canister off and installed the Euro-spec deflector. Put yellow vacuum caps on the nipples. They look like condoms to me: Right Side: Left Side: Finished product: "Freed Area" I just put the vent hose along with the others: I don't have a "before" shot so here's one I found of a Monster with the can:
  8. But that's still comparable to bikes like the Monster 796 and 1100EVO, though the I4 probably is a little weaker at the low end. Still should be buckets of fun. On a side note, my first car had roughly that many ponies
  9. Interestingly, a new study came out that questions our current definitions of healthy body weight related to mortality: http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1555106 Unfortunately the entire article isn't available without a subscription, but this is only a 2-page review of that study. Basically people that are over in the "overweight" and even grade 1 obesity BMI ranges do not have increased all-cause mortality relative to "healthy" BMI counterparts. The second page (the one that isn't previewed) suggests this may be in part due to including too low of a BMI in the "healthy" range and the limitations of BMI alone in determining health status. If anyone's really interested in reading the full 2-page review or the full meta-analysis it references, PM me.
  10. so he was driving a silver Nissan titan and they shot a blue Toyota Tacoma and a black Honda ridgeline? gtfo!
  11. This story took a turn for the worse when the innocent people started getting shot by the police. AWB for police officers? That truck had like 10 bullet holes in it, a bit excessive for a vehicle that never fired a shot? Can you imagine how many YEARS any of us would spend if we put 10 rounds into an innocent, unarmed person's truck, wounding two people and the defense was "he was driving without his lights on and I got scared for my life?"
  12. Maybe if they'd done a better job supporting him in his hard times, he wouldn't be dead
  13. Disproven: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIx1vDKCmuU DNFTT
  14. I was this way for a long time until I got into bodybuilding, tracking calories, and the likes. Put on nearly 50 pounds in 2 years. My weight loss solution: stop working out and eat garbage all day! I dropped 30 pounds in a year! Granted, it was all muscle but hey...
  15. If there's one good thing about the buyout of Anheuser-Busch by InBev it's that they've been trying to subtly introduce the "light beer" crowd to more flavor. A smart move.
  16. http://www.cnn.com/video/?hpt=hp_c4#/video/us/2013/01/30/tsr-moos-mayhem-on-the-freeway.cnn Let's block a highway and set off smoke bombs! Anyone planning to get engaged soon?
  17. Love it! I've always drooled over the Daytona 675 and that's a purty one. If I ever go back to supersports, it's either that or the 848.
