    Distracted Driving

    I can't give much in details about this but Ford announced they will have a lane departure system in Taurus and other models that accroding to them will save lives (don't know how that is going to happen - read on). I took a drive in a car equipped with it and when it was announced at the...

    Another Role Model Lets Us Down!!!

    Well unless you got a medical dog in the fight, I would say you may not get this. I think she should have said something about her condition because it isn't about her but her image of being a southern belle who is representing the south through food. No matter, Bourdine and others who are...

    Newt Gingrich wins South Carolina

    When? I think his leadership potential is lost to the ages. I'm listening to Rush and almost p*ssed my pants over his comment which mildly sounded like this one. It comes down to the republican party has no one that can beat Obama unless the economy dumps and it looks like it won't. They...

    Old People Rule ....

    so you were working, paying taxes and voting? The point is that a lot of those things that mentioned came into existence during the 60s and a few - especially the disintegration of the family - happened in the 50's. So the point is that most of this is attributed to the fact that for someone...

    Teacher can tell kids how many times to potty??

    And what are they supposed to do, complain? We don't have a system where we can hold anyone accountable, the school boards are a joke, the administrator is top heavy and the profession of teaching is just like the profession of law or some other closed profession where they tend to protect...

    Teacher can tell kids how many times to potty??

    Yes child abuse. Look around, how many of these kids are even equipped for real life and it isn't always the parents fault. Public schools are an institution which is a lot like the institution of slavery. The present school system structure is rotting away and between the bad teachers, the...

    Rims on a van and buisness?

    Leo, we shouldn't get too complicated with the reasons why not to do it, I tried once to explain to someone who had what looked like yard stick size rims on his lincoln the reason he couldn't make a turn or park in a parking space and it went over his head - he too was a MX professionally...

    Teacher can tell kids how many times to potty??

    The opening line of the article says it all; NEW YORK -- Parents at a Brooklyn elementary school are furious over a fifth-grade teacher’s bathroom policy that prohibits students from jetting to the john more than three times a week. Given the fact that this is the NYC public school...

    What Does the EO Open Forum Mean to You?

    I don't "use" it for much of my own needs, I am here to share what information I can when I can. I don't want to see people make the same mistakes I made while at the same time, I don't want them to enter into this niche market only to fail. Mainly the same reason I gave for the first...

    Testing the use of a text editor to eliminate markup characters

    That seems to be the problem, but can you save it as a text file on your 'device'? If you can, then try that and close it then reopen it to edit it. I understand your situation and can not see it as a problem with just you. I've been catching hell off line for my 'obsession' while at the...

    Sorry, can't take it any more

    I understand that but there is a bit of a difference when people post something that is intended and one that isn't. With the limitations of some with grammar and punctuation, it isn't the same as when someone posts with erroneous code/symbols in the post. I can see where the issue of censorship...

    Rims on a van and buisness?

    Which one does support the weight? I can find all kinds that take up to 1200 per tire but only one that can handle 1600.

    air line freeze up

    oh crap moot, boy I didn't explain it at all... the leveler valve dumps the air through an exhaust port on it, the valve on the dash controls that port and that has an air line to it. This is different than the macks I have where there is a separate valve that is controlled by a switch on the dash.

    air line freeze up

    You are right for most but this little truck of mine and the hundred like it have the stupid thing on the dash.

    Sorry, can't take it any more

    Sorry turtle my comments were not directed to you nor was I asking for your opinion. I expected lawrence to take note of the issue and see what changes can be made. That was part of the purpose for my complaint, to get more than just superficial comment or two about what mods do and don't do...

    air line freeze up

    Well I asked because the dump valve for my truck is in the cab, the leveler valve is behind the rear axle and it dumps through the dash valve. I just replace the leveler valve and the air bags on the truck - which was really easy.

    Paterno should be canned.

    I understand what you are getting at but it seems that the amount of people who defend him think he was more important than the crime or the victims. And you can't tell me that they would charge him when the amount of money he brought to the college was a large amont and the need to protect...

    the LNG trucks are coming

    If I remember right the cost per mile was 26 cents a mile for diesel while the cng was running about 18 cents a mile. The savings was substantial at the time but now there is closer with diesel because of the increase in price of ng. Maybe a 4 cent difference.
