  1. My dog has the same problem, and the only thing that seems to last are these: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3206977#prodTab1 It's HEAVY duty material for sure, and it has a bit of weight to it. These usually last a month or two at least, whereas other chew toys don't make it a week usually. The material also doesn't absorb slobber like a lot of things. It's basically a tennis ball wrapped in stitched nylon, with a squeaker thing stitched above that....
  2. I watched a night launch while fishing in Melbourne, Florida a few years ago. The intercoastal fishing was so good all night we decided to just stay up until the launch at 3 or 4am I believe it was. It was especially cool since we were there during the time when the whitewater was bio-luminescent due to an algae bloom or something those lines... Either way it was awesome .
  3. Had a similar issue here on campus, since we have three 360 consoles in the house. You can read up more about it, but basically you should install DD-WRT firmware on your current router, instead of whatever came on it. With this you have a bit more control over your network. Within that firmware you can enable uPnP, and set all your 360s to automatic network settings, this should fix the problem. It fixed ours for sure, I dealt with it last week. Strangely it was never a problem until modern warfare 2 for me either. For what its worth we went from using the firmware that came on our Linksys router to DD-WRT, not sure what brand of router you use but the same should apply.

    Learn to clutch IMO.
  5. ....police Sergeant on the scene pointed at a guy standing on the sidewalk saying, "Here's the driver!" Except for a scratch on his hand he was totally unharmed....
  6. Very cool sir, and lots of work I'm sure.
  7. Yo dog, heard you like dudes. You know, the way they smell and stuff.
  8. have a controller charge kit/cable thing?
  9. It's largely a matter of head pressure or "feet of head". Basically, there would be enough pressure to spray water about the same height as the water. If you mounted the barrel 8 feet off the ground, it would effectively spray that high, in simple terms. Also, in terms of using a pump, you would be surprised how cheaply and effectively you could use something like a jacuzzi pump, which is variable speed. When designing our engine dyno for OSU's formula SAE racecar we used such a setup to run our cooling system in the dyno room. I bought the pump off of ebay, in new condition for ~ $40 if I recall.
  10. With that price I assume the damage is not just cosmetic? Runs well otherwise? Girlfriend is currently debating replacing the transmission in her oldass volvo or finding another car...
  11. I'm in an environmental engineering class right now, and my professor went over his personal collection barrel setup at his home as an example. It was way bigger than 55 gallon, maybe 6 or 8 feet tall and 4 or 5 feet around. His obviously was gutter-fed, and used to water plants and his lawn, as well as to flush the toilet in his basement . His collection setup was actually mentioned as part of a presentation on rain-garden technology and implementation, which is another pretty cool idea that is growing in popularity. Interesting sidenote: the old Lazarus building downtown ( now converted to office space with multiple tenants ) actually uses collected rainwater to flush a ton of toilets. The big "L" ball on the roof that you can see is actually a mini watertower.
  12. And to think, those hands touched my car last year . That's sweet man!
  13. Still for sale? What other issues does it have aside from the cluster? I mean it is a $750 car after all....
  14. Sorry.. I misread something. Bump for you.
  15. Holy shit that sound is so win. Why the fuck do I drive a V6? edit: sometimes drive a V6
  16. Estimated value of that investment?
