UK:: [ And then you wake up.

Shucks, I find the US anthem -- when performed traditionally -- beautiful, haunting, capable of inspiring, emotional, and powerful: often a dangerous combination when a racketeering political.gov uses it for its own ends. Its a great sounding song. UK:: They scare the crap out of me

Yough Jug, same with Memphis Belle movie? They had the crew...50 missions old...seemingly totally panicking if I recall. I read Hollywood wanted to add an alchohol or some similar character problem to Apollo~13, but Tom Hanks shot that down. If true, I don't think Ron Howard would have gone for that either.

Oh and thanks Baur for the tips.

I totally screwed up. Thinking about this today, I got a flood of memories of 5th grade football. Boring? uh...we had fun, and I never thought of this stuff in years....best was the shoulder pads, loved them to no end, then staying late after school on the field as the sun neared the horizon. This was Pelahatchie Mississippie. Never mind about that. Don't remember much real games, I have more fond memories of practice, but I saved one game big time (defense). There was this huge dude hauling the ball with nothing between him and the goal but me half his size. All I could do was get in front of him and grab and hang on. He fell onto me CRUNCH. It was beautiful. But overall football did nothing great long term for me, and I quickly left it behind for other things. Yea what I saw at the uni (UNF) made me totally hate uni football - basketball . That girl eventually dropped her chem course. Pissed me off ... as Dave found out here hehe.

One more reason The StrikeFighters is the only computer game I have, and want. Viper:: An~2 .... hehe made my day. Did they ever make a flayable MiG-21? I've always thought Oleg made the same kind of mistake :: trying to fit the "popular" Microsoft 1944 CFS3 planeset into what should have been eastern front game development. For one thing, the FB was totally unsuited for high altitude western euro ops, and the game seemed to lose focus after that. Oleg poasted at ubi that he personally wanted to do Spanish Civil War. I wonder how the world would have changed if he went there, (then Mongolia) rather than 1944 west euro. The few biplanes over The FB were some of the most fun to play.

I never heard of the dude until the Penn State scandal a few weeks ago. I *never* paid attention to football outside of playing it in 5th grade (boring). Shucks when I was at uni, I tutored until they had a "requirement" that you had to attend a number of uni "functions" one of which was a football game. On principle I stepped down as tutor (physics, calc, etc...) rather than artificially going to some fraudulent university sport thing. I say this because I had a girl come needing help with chemistry and I tutored her and she tells me her COACH told her she had to drop out of chemistry because it and the chem lab took up too much time that she needed to practice basketball. That proved my long hel suspicion that uni sports is a financial fraud, and uni's in general -- watch the student debt.

Over at the Pentax forum there was a thread about some guy who is suing his wedding photographer. Apparently the photographer missed the bowkay (sp? lol) throw. The wedding was a few years ago, and he is divorced from the lady he wedded then. The consensus was that the guy was hard up for money and desperate. I'm beginning to wonder, if you want marriage to last, don't get pictures, especially Professional pics. Maybe its a Xen thing.

lol Viper good find. Has Iran developed an injection mold capability? Or just vacuform? Could the oddball 1/80 scale be a deliberate provocation?

Update, I guess... Mish has one out... Ron Paul( ) only GOP candidate to publicly denounce SOPA; What is SOPA and Why Won't it Work? His take out is interesting... I do recall reading a few years ago that South Korea apparently passed some cowardly law that made it "illegal" to publicly criticize the currency, a BIS debt based currency naturally -- the same BIS that USA, Israel, China, and Iran central banks are members of. So I can see Mish's take on this.

Maybe, maybe not. The example given in your quote that artificially prevents free market advertising for importing cheaper drugs is interesting. Tell us more. I quickly read a few links but tell more in your own words. Thanks!! There was a big internet fluff up about some ag id chips that were said to target small family garden/livestock plots, but it seemed to have turned out to be really targeting the big ag corps, and wound up a nothingburger...well I think...mmm. You do know that the *only* way to make a difference is to follow Denninger's suggestion: never buy these entertainment corps' slop products. Just. Say. No. ..to Tom Cruise Movies, big name fps shooters, big ag food products, -- EDIT -- and debt lol -- WretchFest Maximus. Granted, sometimes there's no way around the big corps. I just bought a Pentax (don't ask), but it uses a Sony sensor -- everybody does. Karl Denninger:: Teh StrikeFighters is the only video game I have bought in maybe 10 years. And its the last, or perhaps only game I'll buy if I continue with SF~2+.

It would help if you poasted about what this is all about. I only heard of it tonight, from Karl Denninger's ticker Why Tickerforum Is Not Offline on SOPA. He doesn't black out, yet, but he's apparently opposed to the SOPA, and also the related PIPA. So, what's going on?

Lots of Flesh. What's the divorce rate in Israel? Here in the US, its insane. I just got my first real camera, a Pentax K-5 cos I'm a weirdo, and I'm thinking, lots of pro guys photograph weddings. I'm thinking I could get great business photographing divorces.

Wow yeah. good find UK. Thanks for the insight CV. Stary:: Typhoid:: My first instructor took control and dived on his girl friend's house. On another flight, he took control and dived on a hi school where the school shop had his corvette in for ... a head light change. Of course Chuck Yeager wrote of doing the flylow thing over his home town in a B-29. Imagine the perpendicular univese where Yeager lost a tail over the town square. I changed instructors.

Chessy but fun which is the important thing. Always loved Gil Gerard in that show.

Jug:: ~> Defection light Seems something like that would have been useful. Funny I always thought Su-15 was the second smoothest jet, after F~106. If I were Belenko I'd fly away with the Sukhoi. The absolute best looking airplane I ever saw was a Camel cigarette poster in a convenience store, Lil Champ maybe, back in the 90s. Okay the poster had Joe Camel in shades and the airplane was literally an Su-15TM, twin engines and all, but with Mirage~esque circular half cone inlets. And it had just taken off from a carrier, with the mandatory swoosh grafic going back to the carrier in the background. Total fantasy but it was a tobacco ad, and the sharpest looking plane ever. Whoever made that poster knew enough to play around.

src:: Most likely, no war. But never say "never" about war. Iran~vs~USA has been pumped hard on FOXCNN for a decade. What they don't pump, worry about. Ruinous only to common men and women, the endless wars are quite "affordable" through endlessly increasing bank debt which is only possible through legal tender law allowing epic financial fraud. That is a key to a suggestion you are looking for. I'm not the only one thinking like this lol.. Gen. Smedley Butler, USMC, ret::

Got it. Nice

Yep, its a game of some sort. They are funded by, and owned by, the same bankers. But I'm sure some of the rear echelon trucker guys are going..."bring it usa." The guys who pay the price, maybe not. My guess is Iran.gov is playing its script in the Forever War show, since "radical fundamentalist" Iran's central bank is a member of the BIS system, as is the US Federal Reserve central bank. BIS central bank members' websites ~> http://www.bis.org/cbanks.htm The Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran Federal Reserve Bank of New York Czech em out. They use similar language. Pretty slick how they got this going world wide.

oh, forgot as always... Congrats MAKO ... er ... Mrs. MAKO

Ford Fission

I've read "fireworks" was a bad translation of "rockets." A whopper of a nothing-burger I'm thinking.

Here I am mostly copy-pasting an old poast from a many years older joystick thread. ------- It they are still around, try a Saitek Cyborg Graphite -- S.C.G. When I got into simming years ago with Oleg's The FB, I found a few SCG joysticks at The WalMarts for 15 to 20 Ussian dollars each. "A nice low-end joystick" ~> http://www.epinions.com/review/Saitek_Cyborg_Graphite_Joystick_USB_PS21_021165102958/content_247003844228 Why? Here's my thinking... (0) SCG is a true World War Two, or early Cold War, combat flight sim stick; rugged and simple, built like a LaGG, or a Republic. I found the simplicity more matching the WW2 style FB game than all the Space Shuttle joysticks with fancy push buttons all over. (1) Largest common inexpensive gaming joystick made. (2) Giant titan sized base. Very heavy, stable on the table. (3) The largest stick top throw distance of any joystick made -- 6 inches -- compare with all others. (4) Largest hat switch of any joystick made today -- compare with others. However, the diagonals don't work well for me, so I use it as a 4-way and not 8-way hat switch. (5) Largest throttle of any joystick made, and smooth working. (6) Only three stick top buttons, but they are HUGE and offer great feedback click and feel. (7) NO BASE BUTTONS -- Just how I like it. I prefer the keyboard as a simulation of often poorly designed old aircraft pilot/cockpit interfaces, until somebody makes a flight sim keyboard that physically models a cockpit panel to replace the computer keyboard while simming. (8) As a USB joystick, plug into running computer and fly. No software comes with the stick, at least in my purchase. (9) Extremely rugged with huge handgrip, large trigger, and strong feel. I'm still banging away at the original stick I purchased many years ago. The only maintenence required is dusting every year or so. I have not yet opened a backup joystick I purchased. Problems... (1) As far as I know, the SCG is available in stores shelves only at The WalMarts, and that was several years ago. Don't know about now. I eventually looked to upgrade to a "popular" or "mainstream" Pro Gamer Simmer joystick, but when I visited CompUSA to test the feel of the Pro-Simmer Space Fighter joysticks, they all had limited stick-top travel, and they all felt like a limp handshake, or holding a wet fish, after having used the iron grip SCG for so long. So I still use the same stick today, literally, it just won't break.

At the old LOMAC forum, some bag asked for grass grafix waving in the wind. For some of these types, you could add airfield lawnmower ops to the ramp game.

Merry Christmas *thump*
