the hell?

First and foremost, AVOID THE NETWORKS. Remember the cluster fuck of 2000? The on going coverage and updates are pointless and a waste of time. "So and so is ahead in X state"...with 2% of polls reporting. Save yourself the headache and boycott CNN, Fox News, ABC, CBS, etc etc. Honnestly, the only election night coverage I'll be watching is that of the daily show, and I recomend it. Its been a long race, we all need to have a good laugh at this shit. graemlins/thumb.gif

hey hey hey sucka dogs, dont gay up my thread with pointless banter and endorsements, no one cares who you vote for. tongue.gif

It aint hard crackas, vote! That is all. tongue.gif

da hell you been cracka? tongue.gif

Doubting it. It was made very clear not long ago that those running Mazda had NO plans of putting the rotary in the miata. They used to be pretty adimate bout it...maybe they're just sneaky. graemlins/wtf.gif

Warrantee work?

I'm a communist liberal conspirator, not a propagandist!

For christ sake Kyle, Punctuate! Other then that, +1. Stupid people get preyed on by propagandists, I dont pity them. [ 29. October 2004, 06:20 PM: Message edited by: BrockSamson ]

http://www.metrolyrics.com/lyrics/10850/Monty_Python/Lumberjack_Song office had a costume contest, I just tossed on my cold weather gear, harness, and ice tools, went as a mountain climber. I won a $40 best buy gifter certificate. For actual festivities, I hve a makeshift Cricket bat, black slacks, short sleave white dress shirt, red tie, and a "Shawn" name tag. All I need now is bloodspray.

Thts how I ended up with a stack of canadian $1 bills. They haven't been in print in a decade or so. As for cleaning old coins, not sure, its nothing I've actualy done. I know you can used the same de-tarnishing stuff people use for old silver flatware and such.

You could try doin what John Hinckley Jr did to impress Jodi Foster. tongue.gif

yep, no creases or marks. here's the book: http://www.bestprices.com/cgi-bin/vlink/flypage-images?imageNum=1400048397BT&imageType=book&id=F8Q2S4qB

range $23-$1000. $225 max though for circulated notes in "very fine" condition. Uncirculated notes are those found in mint sets, bills that have never been spent, living their lives behind glass. Not a bad profit for a $20 investment, though.

upper left nd lower right fo the bills face, there should be a small, singular, lonely letter, it is important to identification. Also, look for the mint stamp, should be the size of a dime and have a cities name in it some where. Ciruclated bills aren't worth near as much mint shape uncirculated bills. Yours will be in the lower range, 25-75 ish.

ahh, true. The wings dont work as they should at 90deg verticle. The control sufaces are basicaly in neutral and serve to keep it pointed in one direction. They severely lack in rotational stability. After the flight you mentioned, they also redesigned the tail sections. Lacking a wind tunnel, they strapped them to the front of a pickup truck and drove them around...true story. smile.gif Ya did catch me off guard there though. Despite not technicly being a stall, the wings did effectively stop producing lift. graemlins/thumb.gif

got the mint? what shape? Its worth anywhere for $4 - $2000. Not a bd find. umm, these books I got. lol Never bothered hunting online. need more info on your $20, they range for $25 to $4500.

Gimme the details on it, got my book here. In mint shape its worth either $120 or $150. Whats the Mint mark on it (lil letter underneith the date)?

Repetition, plain and simple. Different things work for different people. The only way you'll find out what works for you is range time. The more you shoot, the more comfortable you'll become with the gun in your hands, and the more "in tune" you'll be with its firing motion. Once you're relaxed with the weapon, you can focus on your accuracy.

Neo nailed it...cheater. tongue.gif I didnt know it was a system fart, just from what I saw it was deffinately pilot error, too steep, too low, too fast. Lots of good gueses, but int he name of learning, some answers: Those of you noticing fire/blast: -Ejection seats use small solid fuel rockets to get you the fuck out of the cockpit and explosive bolts onte canopy to get it out of the way first. Trying to land w/o gear. -Kinda, but its going way to fast and way to steep. Not pilot is tht dense...I hope tongue.gif Wings iced over? -Obviously in a desert environment. Way to low for ice to form. And F16's have systems to combat that. broken control cable and secondary system failure: -F16s are all fly by wire. His planes on fire? -its about to be flat spin. - If ya look at the exhaust, you can see it is exiting the tail in a downward angle. Further more it is in a trail streaming behind the plane, this indicates forward motion. The clincher, look at the exhaust plume in the area of the ejected canopy. You see a symetrical buterfly shape to it. That is the wake of the wings moving it around. Symetry indicates a uniform flow of air, which you would not have in the event of a spin. Stall speed - Given that he's in level flight just out of a dive, combined with the path of the exhaust, it points to more then sufficient speed. Did what now? I followed that religeously, at least I think I did, and dont remember any uncontroled stalling...? I do rememeber the problems with the universal control system taking a shit under G load, and the guy flying blind. He also had trouble with exesive roll due to over correction. The in cocpit shots of the 3 pilot who flew it are priceless. None of them were ready for the kick of that rocket, and were all leaning slightly foward. The Rocket ignition corrected that quick, fast, and in a hurry. tongue.gif The craft was doing Mach++ up into the upper thermosphere, where the engine was put out. The craft still had enough momentum to carry it into the exosphere, thus clinching the record. At the peak of its journey, it stopped, so yes it did stall. At the apex, the feather was put up and it did enter a breif flat spin, but this was breif and done deliberately to slow its entry speed back onto the atmosphere.

There are a few bright folk here, the premise is simple: Whats going on in this picture? http://www.wordiq.com/knowledge/images/8/8e/Crash.arp.600pix.jpg Obviously the makings of a bad day, but other then that, whats happening, why is he ejecting? some things to look at: -the slats -the position of elevators -the exhaust trail -the condensation/smoke accumulation on top of the wings. -the altitude Mowgli, Mensan, give everyone else a chance before you spoil it.

I'll give ya $101 for it smile.gif I noticed my old $20 because it was a different shade of green then the rest in my stack. Yes there is something about it. Notes appriciate more then coins because their survival rate is so low. They wear over the yers or get marked and destroyed. Not worth a fortune now, but hold onto them, you wont regret it later.

most recently: http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/sports/motorsports/10006582.htm but also: http://nascar.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.thatsracin.com/mld/thatsracin/7600405.htm http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/motorsports/nascar_plus/news/2002/04/19/roush_cnn/ Not to mention Davey Allison and Alan Kulwicki dying the SAME year (1993) in separate plane crashes. The skys dont seem to be too freindly to NASCAR.

This post is for coin collecting nerds only. Anyone else happen apon uncomonly old currency in circulation? Or freak old coins in great shape? in my burger king change today I got 1958 in mint shape, still sporting hardcore luster. I've gotten older coins, but none is so great a shape. It reminded me of 1934 $20 bill I got from the bank a couple years ago, also in great shape. Anyone else find oddbll shit in their change...or am I the only one who checks?

got the same problem at the Arena Grand. Gaggles of young thug wannabe's vying for everyones attention. Pissed me off to no end.
