Then things started to get a little crazy... DSCF2581 by Handsome Matt, on Flickr Yes, that's the ignition, yes it's by the rear brake reservoir. Yes it's held on with zip ties. No it's not permanent. DSCF2567 by Handsome Matt, on Flickr Stripped in this photo, and recently polished.

The build-up of my bike. It started as a $300 basketcase 87 ZX750-F. With no fairings, and the gas tank was disintegrating in my hands. DSCF2544 by Handsome Matt, on Flickr The first order of business was a new gas tank. $35.00 of craigslist got me a tank from a ZX600, with a little modification it fit perfectly.

The obvious thought would be Israel, but I think Pakistan or China could also be contenders; if it is in fact a nation behind this attack. China could be seeking to destabilize the region, in order to then provide "aid" or to make the Americans lose face since Ahmedinijhad's knee jerk reaction is to blame the evil US "empire." Pakistan because of the attacks on India and Indonesia. And that un-officially Pakistan has been selling technology to Al-queda and others for years. That Syria raid was crazy, and when Israel attacked Iraq's nuclear reactor in 1981: Jordan and Saudi Arabia didn't even turn on their anti-air missiles let along scramble their fighters.

Malware "stuxnet" was designed to target high value infrastructure in Iran. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-11388018 Thoughts on this?

J. Allen Hynek believed there were instances that couldn't be explained as weather phenomena or military testing. We are talking about trained military personnel reporting these occurrences, not some drunk redneck with a blurry camera and a beer gut. There might be something to it

Plenty. It's fairly stupid that the tower design doesn't include an unobstructed safety cable that could be used for fall prevention. OSHA apparently allows climbers to free climb, which I understand, but to not demand that adequate fall protection be included in the actual design of the towers is pathetic.

You make a valid point. After seeing the photo, I'll give him fifty bucks for it

I don't know if this has been covered but what about a how-to on the titling process for motorcycles. As in how to track down a lost title, how to figure out if you bought a stolen bike, getting "salvage" removed from the title (if possible at all).Things like that.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug... It almost sounds like someone's cover was blown, judging by the presence of uniformed and plain clothes police officers combined with the line "active investigation."

I wasted so much time with Excite bike! I loved that game. http://nintendo8.com/game/24/excitebike/ Yeah, it's online. And I'm pretty sure they have almost every game made for the NES

I like that the camera caught his face at that sickening moment of realization. You know he's only gotten "Oh s..." out at this point. He hasn't even formed the full thought yet.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. It was a rock, brought with them and thrown from their car according to the neighbors. Unfortunately this is a decent neighborhood, but we get spillover from the rougher neighborhoods around us. It's like Bexley, but with less pretension and overworked columbus police. I wish it was a meteorite, but they tend to streak downwards, not horizontally. The size of the rock though, if it was a meteorite, I'd be set! Thanks again for everything, everybody.

It's one of the reasons I love motorcycles now. The first few were rough, but Road Rash 64? Glorious!

And someone had thrown a large rock through the rear window of the truck. And they did it with such force that it also smashed the front window. If anyone knows where I could pick up a replacement front and rear window for an 84 Dodge Ramcharger for less than what Safelite wants ($460+ before fees and taxes); I would be incredibly grateful. The front window can be from a similar year pickup or ramcharger. Also if anyone you know starts talking about how they smashed a trucks windows last night and it was really cool. Hit them. With a baseball bat. Like dirty pirate hooker. Also, the automated incident report system for the Columbus police department sucks.

Didn't Kawasaki and Yamaha both attempt something similar?

Keep throwing fad collectibles at them. Eventually one zombie will really get into collecting webkinz or something else. At that point; the other zombies, smelling weakness, will turn on the collector zombie. At which point you run away, leaving a trail of pop culture collectibles to slow their chase.

No debt, relatively lax standards of INS enforcement (plus if the company calls on you, you just say "they hired me"), salary paid in cash tax free. Simple, if not easy work. And again preferential treatment for your children and basically free healthcare. And plenty of bleeding heart liberals defending my rights to be here illegally everyday? What's the benefits of being a citizen again? And if/when it all gets bad, I just go back to my country with a sock full of American cash and live well off for the rest of my life. On a serious note: Who else wants to send that letter in?

I think it does go back to that wild west, cowboys and indians thing. The whole steel horse image. It also doesn't help that Harley has a wicked powerful marketing department. Plus leather fringe used to be slightly bad ass. Now not so much. If you really want the look, just buy some ribbon and stick on the end of the handle bars. Then some baseball cards in the spokes. A basket on the front. Maybe a flag off the back.

If you're a public figure, dem's the breaks. If you don't like it stay out of politics and Hollywood and the music industry.

Apparently something is supposed to occur on Sept 14th. And "the dude from Queensryche is involved, and is debuting his new band’s hot upcoming single." http://hellforleathermagazine.com/2010/09/buell-1190rs-gets-official-marketing-gets-officially-weird/

Had it merely been a transcript it would have been presented without any emphasis added. Presenting a transcript with emphasis added by a third party to highlight your opinion is presenting an argument. It's the same thing as chiming into a discussion with a quote. You've now presented information and are now a part of the discussion. However to break it down for you. Here's the play by play. CG said this, at which point you responded with quotes from the website mediamatters.org. You've provided the supporting document for the original statement. Meaning you've made an argument in support of the statement that Glenn Beck hates victims of 9/11. Yet when someone reads the full citation, it's clear that he doesn't hate 9/11 or Katrina victims. Just a select few who tried to milk the system. Instead of really letting Glenn Beck hang himself with his own words (which wouldn't actually happen in this case) you choose a few poorly modified quotes from a website that attempted to portray Glenn Beck as a nut job. Instead of really going for an original, un-modified transcript that would have allowed everyone to make their own mind up on Beck. No need to get "butt hurt," about it. (Was that the phrase you used with your stunningly intelligent LOLcatz argument? I can't quite remember as it was amongst all your nit picking).

So you don't vette your sources? Interesting. I'd call the supporting evidence for your argument, and your argument into question. Why don't you go hurr durr and fear monger somewhere else

Couch cushions Pillows Pocket knife Laptop computer Depending on type of zombie (slow or fast) two similar strategies emerge. With a slow moving zombie: a sweep of the legs should take the zombie down, using the pillow as an absorbent material to prevent infection, I stab it about the head and neck repeatedly with the pocket knife until sufficient head trauma has occurred Fast mover: Throw one or two pillows to briefly disorient zombie, use a couch cushion as a make shift shield/ tangle, back them against the wall, and use a swift stab through the eye socket or up through the open, gaping maw of the zombie to bring about it's swift (and final) death.

Alright cowboy, you posted a quote with emphasizes added in such a manner as to skew the read and interpretation. While you didn't add the emphasis yourself, you didn't correct it either. Which is worse: the man who commits a crime, or the man who allows the crime to continue? Instead of letting Glenn Beck hang himself with his own words, you allowed a misrepresentation to continue in order to support your argument. And now you play innocent and dumb. Of course, I can play with emphasizes as well: Now you can't be mad at that one, if someone makes sure to read the full quote the added emphasis shouldn't convey any message at all. Erroneous! It falls to state and local municipalities to have plans in place first, federal aid is last to step in. They had weeks to implement anything, and chose not too. I believe it was the City of New Orleans plan to move everyone into the Astrodome, instead of onto the school buses before the were lost to rising waters. Having used it before during two other hurricanes, and yet they didn't even have enough provisions stockpiled. Hardly the federal governments fault when the officials responsible for planning dropped the ball to begin with. And lastly, the president of the Union sending federal troops into a southern state without being asked? For all of us north of the Mason-Dixon line that war ended in 1865, it's still a bit of a sore spot further south.
