Or, as many refer to it, The Columbus Disgrace. Apparently they ran an article about a little known wild haven on the NW side. It's a nature preserve that I'd regularly visit and would rarely ever see another soul. It's a small gorge not far from a major road, yet no one knew or cared about it. This morning, a week after the article ran, I took a freind from out of state there to do some rock climbing. The lot was full, we had to park in the grass, and the area had pop cans and sport drink bottles scatterd all over. Keep in mind, this isn't a public park, its a nature preserve. It's not a playground, the DNR has made no attempt to lay trails here. Its a dangerous area flanked by cliffs, overhangs and lots of loose rock, to say nothing of the venomous critter factor. There were kids all over the place. The water is part of Dublins watershed, carrying with it all the yummy nitrates and chemical waste runnoff of half of dublin and its roads, yet folks let their kids swim in it. During a climb I was top roping my freind, a couple came up, almost crossing over my line, peered down the cliff to watch him climb, then wandered off when he got to the top. Never said "Hi", never acknowledged the existence of any human beings, just taking it in as their personal entertainment. During a rapell down an overhang, my freind calls out "Heads up! Comin down!". Which was enterpreted by a dipshit as "Come stand underneith me and I bounce off a cliff!". Of course, some rocks were kicked loose and came crashing down. This pratz got a real attitude about it, saying we need to have pilons set up around where we are. "If you cant understand 'heads up, coming down', what are the chances you'll respect some pilons? 100% of the ground you walk on is loose rocks, all of which have fallen from the cliffs. There is a constant hazard, you should be so lucky as to have a warning. His kids were swiming amongst the leaf and log debris in the pool under the falls, taking in all kinds of yummy nitrates from Dubliners lawn runoff. This place is not a playground. It is not a park. It is a nature preserve. It is beutiful, and like most beutiful things, it is dangerous. Poisonous snakes and spiders, loose rocks, near toxic water, and no beaten trails, what makes you think this place is safe to bring kids? To get down there you have to downclimb what most would consider a 5.0 scramble with nothing resembling a railing or aid. But, the Dispatch runs an article, tells everyone to c'mon down, its great! Here's my prediction for the future: Some one will get hurt, they'll get hurt bad, possibly killed. There are no railing lining the 40-50ft cliffs on either side. People are stupid, it'll happen, probably to a child. The DNR will make the entire preserve off limits untill they: A: put up fences all over the place, ugly up the joint, and make it impossible for the respectfull to enjoy. B: Honnor a $43000 grant passed in 2001 (probably already squandered) to lay paved trails and build boardwalks along the rims. Again, making it impossible for the respectfull to enjoy. Most of you know me as a hippy leftist, not when it comes to stuff like this. These kinds of sights are not for everyone, not everyone is entitled to enjoy them. You need respect, a head to avoid injury, respect, and a willingness to work to attain the sights, and respect. Who the fuck walks up to a pair of guys to watch them do something dangerous and doesn't even say hi? What the fuck are we, clowns for your ammusment? /rant

nws I googled "tragic", that's the first thing that came up for real.

spoze'ta be dented in, there's stuff that sneaks between the hood and the engine there.

If he had been more conservative with the throttle, he'd have won it. When he throttled up, it dove into the water and filled the cab up via the cowl vents. It was funnier this way.

Is that a powder coated aluminum sandcasting or made of a polymer of some kind? From a nerdy materials engineering perspective, it's an awsome peice, even if its just sitting on a table. 3 peice, easy access to every cubic cm of the runners? Yes please. http://www.capa.com.au/pics/ls1_induction_fast_manifold_overview.jpg Are you going to put a bloody volley ball on your back dash now? http://www.tamiloviam.com/img/castaway-wilson.jpg WILSON!, grow a beard, too. with the throttle plate shut.

Though, it only won by virtue of the fact that it stayed on the correct side of the water. http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/images/series_8/prog_3/james_and_boat.jpg

that might poke you in the stomach.

Not to be cruel, but, if you didn't want to live in a shitty neighborhood, you should have got better grades.

God damnit, X men was on a roll. 1=good, 2=better, 3=....crap? This one had a new director, the origional was buisy doing Superman. Guess they should have waited. The reviews make it sound like a pointless action movie, devoid of the social relevence thats made the X Men great for 30 years. " A dazzling movie about fireball car missles, a guy that can turn into a killer-quiller porcupine, and accepting others different from us."

How does Frasier do as Beast? I've never even tried to picture him in a roll requiring movement of any kind.

Deleware is a dump. Is it going to be in a recyclable state? See if Worly proccesses masonry.

Wareham said the defendants don't have a large amount of appeal platforms, but he expects lawyers will try to raise the issue that both men were tried in Houston, the epicenter of Enron's implosion. Defense attorneys had attempted unsuccessfully to have the venue changed prior to the trial saying it was impossible to get a fair trial in Houston.

I'm fabbing up a bike project presently.....so fucking lame compared to that. Amazing isn't the word

A loser with binoculars and no life?

Yes please. I'm curious as to what manner of sentence they'll receive.

No. Keep in mind this is for dyno days, there are absolutely no balls involed in "comparitive racing".

Longer barrel, longer range. Simple fizziks.

soon to be removed from a 91 Cougar, 5.0 AOD. Not new, but has very few miles on it. I've driven the car maybe 1000 miles in 3 years. $200

doubt you'd be willing to trade on a truck?

Right here

Ditto. You dont find any differences untill you get to the exhaust manifolds.

I thought about that, but there was bias found in testing, the black ones always tend to be bigger.

Fixed. (sorry, flashback. ) true Poetry Out of the box kits are always a compramise. They often include sloppy tolerances in many areas simply because they'll be going on a whole host cars with varing states of tune. When yu prefab a pipe, you're limited in diameter and form because you have to allow X tolerance side to side in case the engine compartment is slightly different. When you desgin it for a car that's sitting right next you you, you can "thread the needle" on anything you like, from physical fitment to tuning. Kits are for people who just want some measure of forced air. If you have specific requirements, custom is the only way.
