  1. To the point that the stitching on one side of the canopy may be 2-3mm off from the other, that sort of thing. wow! 2-3mm! WOW! That's all it takes?

  2. Hey....it's OK. Everything is Zen OK. First off breathe! Second relax your breathing. Then work on your shoulders and work that relaxed state down to your core. All will be well. Check your equipment, check your handles and check the ground. As in get your equipment on and sit down and breathe through your nose slowly. I'm at 30, chump change compared to most, but yeah it's still there. But the moment my feet are free of gravity and my bones feel light.....life gets good.

  3. I hope. I hope. But right now I'm going to take a quick look at th petcock just to makre sure it isn't that since the carbs were cleaned and tuned summer before last.

  4. Hey Shah, I'm sorry you're having a bad day/week. The bike thing just ain't fair. Sorry. Hey, catch a plane to Seattle, hang with V and me and make some awesome skydives, okay? John, I greatly am honored by the offer and am very grateful but at the moment...don't have $$$. And no time, classes every Saturday till December. But I greatly appreciate the offer perhaps I will take you up on it next spring......at the mean time.....I don't know....I was down and thought...ok I'll ride to work to put a smile on my face.....4 freaking gallons of gas in 4 miles.....and before that there was some fun and exciting news regarding more bank fees to adjust my mortgage....I'm thinking I'm going to just my fingers deep in my ears and go hide. I'm so tired of all the bad news.... Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  5. I don't know what gives. The moment I get a foot hold shit explodes. Today....the bike....the carbs just.....massive gas leak. I'm telling you I don't get it. I'm just getting the shit kicked out of me and it's not life or death such as sickness but.....if it were a boxing match it would be one body shot after another. Is it ok just to be happy or content only in free fall? Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  8. Yeah tell me about it! That's my gig. Convert what engineers "feel"....and yes engineers do have feeling...sometimes very strong ones...into what decision makers and managers can understand. Sadly....I think there are not many positions open for such a gig nor opportunities for further compensation.

  9. I was very unhappy and frustrated with my life. I was in what best could be described as a relationship where I was being used and I wanted to feel free so that I could deal with the problems at home. The problems at home went super nova and now, sadly, the only time I feel happy. Or close to content with life, is on the ride up.

  10. As of late it will have to be well under size 8. Turns out girls like about their weight more than they lie about their age. As such yes, the two rules stay. No big chicks, and No moms. And sadly it appears where I live women in their early 30s are either very BIG or very much a mom Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  11. Intentional utilization of poor grammar is a great method by which one can emphasize a point. In this case, perhaps it would not be a bad idea to force math and science types to take more humanities classes. And that perhaps math, science and engineering need to wake up and realize that they need to seriously rethink their marketing scheme so as to not go extinct in the US.

  12. My final rebuttal....and I'll leave it at that is. Less and less people are studying engineering and science. There are many scio economic reasons. Like it or not, you can be grumpy as you want to be but the facts are the facts....a career in the fields of engineering, math and science needs to really rethink it's sales pitch. For as it stands at the moment....it's not doing very good. Don't argue with me, argue the facts on the ground.

  13. As the only foreign kid in an all wonder bread community I certainly did not enjoy my primary education. Yes I made friends and had an ok time but I was very glad to have graduated. It didn't help that I was a bit geeky as well. But this explains why some of my teachers were a bit "clicky" with the popular kids. But you can't fault them. They are after all only human.

  14. yeah, those statements are guaranteed to improve your sex life, dude. With Rosie, that is. Look those were exact words from one of my female friends who was an engineer but thought she had it too easy and went into education. She LOVED being able to get away with just about anything in the office or class because she was the "cute girl". And why waste the time chasing engineering girls? Bad RIO. Too much work, and the odds are not with the dude. Ever wonder why male nurses or male teachers are so freaking happy? Because if he's not wearing plaid pants with a striped shirt...he's hot! Engineers wiritng poetry....he he he... Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  15. http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20110510/us_yblog_thelookout/why-geeks-make-better-adults-than-the-in-crowd Drawing on hundreds of interviews, Robbins discovered that some teachers face pressure to conform and fit into a rigid hierarchy much as their students do. "They were saying that the teachers' lounge is just as scary a place as the cafeteria, socially. If you get back into that setting, something about school can cause you to regress and care about popularity that way." that isn't right.

  16. What! Look if you think it's funny that someone who just due to accident of genetics or timing either does not have the aptitude for math or had the misfortune of having one bad teacher and thus now struggles with math or science, why should we not laugh at engineers and scientist and their inability to dance? Maybe the issue isn't the subject. Maybe it's how the subject is presented? It's a well known fact that the US system of education with respect to math and science is broken. It's a lecture type environment for the most part. And this is sadly due to our method of evaluation. "Teach to the test" kills creativity. And some people, creativity is their life blood. So maybe if the system were to be modified such that it were more inquiry based and more open for discussion then those who once found math and science to be impossible would understand...that in reality math is the universal language. And thus, maybe we will finally start getting real innovation and invention and take solid steps forward to a better future. Furthermore, look....I hate to say it. Engineers are underpaid. After a given number of years and terms of success....you are truly betty off as a business major than an engineer. And that's not me talking that's just the facts on the ground. Look at what the finance houses are paying their top 30% compared to what the top 30% of our engineers get. We as a nation can and should do better.

  17. http://www.swe.org/swe/regiond/sections/sefl/Templates/StatisticsonWomeninEngineering%5B1%5D.pdf Ok I was off 1 girl per 6 dudes. Still sounds like a buyers market to me. But I coudl be wrong, we need to start a thread called "Post the picture of the hot engineering chick" By we I fully mean you Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  18. Yeah, I'm just thinking of Engineers taking modern dance. http://www-scf.usc.edu/~egsa/images/DWTE.JPG On your left...the dudes! http://farm1.static.flickr.com/54/135212200_750a88f9a2.jpg On your right .... the chicks! http://api.ning.com/files/GwWx2ElJH4dtaAcdfca4lW-3QyY5Sl1omdKwt*xh66hhUY-xR*OemOd6x7*kT*hYSItLk1fxIn4P88c-Qf0So3uEvG1oIj0Q/umow.jpg Ok boys....girls....and we are now going to learn how to dance...hold hands! Oh wait there are 6 dudes per every girl....ok hum...well....ok some of you guys will have to hold hands. Oh I'm just now being very mean. But yeah sure why not!

  20. +1...I over analyze everything.... Hum....was it a chick at a local DZ? Dude "Oh hi chick you dropped your keys in the mud getting out of your car." Chick "OH YOU PIG DOG! WERE YOU LOOKING AT MY ASS! ARE YOU STALKING ME! I'M GOING TO TAZER YOUR ASS! HOW DARE YOU OFFER ME A CUP OF COFFE.....(wait wrong thread)" As Nat said...note not me...many girls go "ga ga" for assholes. Sadly those many girls are exactly the girls you find attractive and are thus "nice to". How about this. Maybe it's not you. There is nothing wrong with being nice to people. Perhaps there is something wrong with being nice to all people? Perhaps you should focus you giving nature to those who are close to you. All others well they can go pound salt. But yeah, sorry to tell you.....nice guys....well....like funny guys...just get no love, note Nats post. Sure the ladies talk about how much they love them but you just know full well she is going to ignore her own advice and go for the asshole, note Nats post. So....screw her. You have friends who care about you and you care about them. Try and focus 100% of your caring nature towards them.

  21. I like this girl! I can't watch the video at work, but can we maybe turn this into a sport? Any one who wants to tell any one how to dress or act should be picked up thrown into a ship and sent off to some Island to live a long happy life telling others what they can and can't do...

  22. wow don't put words in my mouth. I just said and it's a well known fact that on average you have 1 girl per 10 guys in the sciences. As such dating with in your class is not fun at all. And supply and demand make is such that said 1 girl can do what ever she wants and still get a date. Thus I dated outside of my field. But still, would have been nice not to. Should the "artsy" types be forced to take math classes and science classes? Sure why not. Maybe some of the people who are in the sciences and who think that they are gods gift to man would maybe understand that there is more to the world. And I'm sure your average engineering student woudln't mind meeting girls who would take them out and show them how to dress. Look the world may have changed, we may have more technology in our hands than ever before but the worlds view of the sciences has not improved past http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/uploads/post-106641-1253660242.jpg and for the record, engineering is engineering, and unless it is sensative there is no reason why a manager can't move an entire engineering office to India, pay those guys 1/5th what he would pay the engineer in the US andget the same product. It's sad but it's business. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

  25. Ron, It's not their fault. The guys had their humanity stripped from them. You can't do what it takes to be an engineer and come out the other side with your humanity in tacked. You come out...damaged. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!
