In a startling announcement a few days ago, Jane's All the World's Aircraft has named an August 1901 flight by Connecticut aviation pioneer Gustave Whitehead as the first successful powered flight in history, beating the Wright Brothers by more than two years. Jane's, which calls itself the world's foremost authority on aviation history, with great authority, has traditionally backed the Wrights as first in flight. Now they say the evidence for Whitehead's flight is strong enough for the publication to reverse course and recognize it as the first successful powered flight.
...................“The thing I was most worried about when leaving the airlock that day was my path to get to the telescope, because it was along the side of the space shuttle. And if you look over the edge of the shuttle, it’s like looking over a cliff, with 350 miles to go down to the planet. And there are no good handrails.
When we’re spacewalking, we like to grab on to things with our space gloves and be nice and steady. But I got to this one area along the side of the shuttle, and there was nothing good to grab. I had to grab a wire or a hose or a knob or a screw. And I’m kind of a big goon. And when there’s no gravity, you can get a lot of momentum built up, and I could go spinning off into space. I knew I had a safety tether that would probably hold, but I also had a heart that I wasn’t so sure about. I knew they would get me back, I just wasn’t sure what they would get back on the end of the tether when they reeled me in. So I was really concerned about this. I took my time, and I got through the treacherous path and out to the telescope.
I felt this deep loneliness. And it wasn’t just a Saturday-afternoon-with-a-book alone. I felt detached from the Earth. I felt that I was by myself, and everything that I knew and loved and that made me feel comfortable was far away. And then it started getting dark and cold.
Because we travel 17,500 miles an hour, ninety minutes is one lap around the Earth. So it’s forty-five minutes of sunlight and forty-five minutes of darkness. And when you enter the darkness, it is not just darkness. It’s the darkest black I have ever experienced. It’s the complete absence of light. It gets cold, and I could feel that coldness, and I could sense the darkness coming. And it just added to my loneliness.”
Clear your PM's!My Dad is just gone. Nobody knows where he is. Everyone but me has given up on him.
Nope in New England they call everything some dumb ass chit that has no relevance to anything. TV Remotes are called Clickas. Couches are called Davenports, and Jeans are called Dungarees.Big clams.
good job on turning your anus into a salad shooter....I have been trying to eat better, more veggies and other such nonsense. Been losing weight and feeling better but now my poop floats like a cork and it will not flush. It rides the flush funnel like a life boat and when all is said and done it is still there floating.
Come to CO. It's what all the cool kids are doing.I got a Baker/Sous Chef/Trainer job in Raleigh NC in a Coal Fired oven Bakery/Cafe. Part of the offer I am hoping will be relocation assistance. The Boss/Chef/Owner takes the Kitchen staff to Italy every year. She also has a TV show in production... I need to learn about the local wines. She has plans to open another location in Western NC if all goes well.
I have 5 other offers. One in Milwaukee, 2 in Ann Arbor, another in Dallas, and another Oklahoma City.... The jobs in Dallas and OKC are cafeteria jobs for Sodexho Marriot and are stepping stone jobs for jobs in the Caribbean.
I was hoping for an Old School Bike Mechanic job to appear on the Horizon. But none has. I am not sure that job exists, Everyone has converted to the train the kids to assemble hooptys for $8//hr business model. I can braze, do frame repairs, work on suspension, build wheels, operate a wheel pit, basically everything. Sturmey Archer, Huret, Campy, I can do it all. Get me a job RM.
I am thinking of retiring in Costa Rica. I have a Teamster Pension I am totally vested in. I just have to wait until I am 57 to collect though. I could skip by on my savings but not in CO. As far as weather and cost of living Western NC suits my needs better. I like to live in a city. Cities in CO suck. We call them suburbs here....Come to CO. It's what all the cool kids are doing.

Beats are good out of the box, but age and personal moisture kill them quick. They have terrible mid and high response. I wear my phones for purpose not fashion. Sony MDR XB500's look ridiculous I will say. But for $66 and a warranty I like them just fine.Sony headphones are for people with no fashion sense, Beats are where it's at.
IMO headphones have progressed sweet FA in the last 10 years, cheap ones still sound **** I want to replace my ancient Sennheiser HD 580s that have depeloped a rattle with something at least as good but I'll be ****ed if I'm paying $500 for a pair of cans made in China!
For budget in ear headphones you can't beat Xears they ****in rock, if you enter "KLANGFUZZIS" on their site you pay less that haf retail. My Xears are easily as good as my top of the range(at the time) Shure headphones and they were 100's cheaper!
