PostHeaderIcon 9/11 being an inside US gov't job is clearly obvious (see loose change) Why are americans afraid of the truth?

Strange how the 6 ton engines on each side made of titanium vaporized. The melting point of titanium is hotter than the fires were on 9/11. So the titanium didn't vaporize. Scientifically impossible, check the periodic table. Each engine was the size of two ford excursions piggy back. How could you not find 4 unmeltable titanium ford excursions (each side) inside a small building like the pentagon - especially when they found bodies? Oh yeah...and they found atta's passport (planted) outside wtc but not the titanium engines. Didn't atta turn up alive too with nine or so other hijackers who didn't do anything? Why don't americans piece this together buy now. America has a cancer. Its the Bush administration and their friends (both dems and reps). Expose them. Its patriotic. What are you afraid of? They burned you to death 3000 times over on 9/11 and lie to you every day on the tube. Americans should speak freely about our countrys misdeed on 9/11 in all school classrooms.

A Really Bad Day
There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half of an hour. Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man cry." "No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police said that they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away." "I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison."

A couple of blonde men in a pickup truck drove into a lumberyard. One of the blonde men walked in the office and said, "We need some four-by-twos."The clerk said, "You mean two-by-fours, don't you?"The man said, "I'll go check," and went back to the truck.He returned a minute later and said, "Yeah, I meant two-by-fours.""All right. How long do you need them?"The customer paused for a minute and said, "I'd better go check."After a while, the customer returned to the office and said,"A long time. We're gonna build a house."

PostHeaderIcon Jet ski carb problems?

I recently bought a Kawasaki 750sx and it has a Keihin CDK II carb. The engine idles great and fires up first time. It also launches out of the hole with 1/3 to 1/2 throttle but once I break about half throttle it will quickly bog down and usually die. 5 seconds later it will fire back up and do the same thing. I can certainly give it full throttle in very short bursts but 2-3 times of that and it dies as well.
I'm assuming this may have something to do with the main jet screw but I'm not sure what is happening. Do you think it's flooding or running so lean that it can't operate? If you have any input I'd appreciate it.

PostHeaderIcon Weird Dream them pictures released?

Hello,

Last night I had this really weird dream for me, I was on vacation, not sure where, but I was staying in a really TALL hotel (I hate heights.) I remember seeing "25" floors on the elevator we used, we just so happened to be up at floor 25, and when the elevator stopped we walked straight into our room (no door no nothing), and a few things happened, there was this really young girl (about 2 years old) and a "babysitter", which I could probably relate that to me baby sitting the other day, but we were just hanging out in the room, when I look out the window and see a plane at a 90 degree bank left, coming down, and it went out of my view, so I said "Hold on guys, something might happen!". The people in the building looked at me weird and went "What?" as the building shook, we all ran to the elevator (I know, DO NOT USE ELEVATORS IN FIRES, but there were no stairs.). So as we were going down we stopped on floor 20 to catch one of my sisters best friends (Not sure why he was there) and he got on and we started to go back down, when the elevator stopped all of a sudden and one part continued to go down, till it was at a 45 degree angle, and I was holding on with everyone else, when we looked down and there was a glass wall, with a few girls on it reaching out to help us, as we slid down I looked out to see a fire about 2 blocks over, and I kept hearing sirens and trucks responding, as somehow my phone got knocked from my hand and fell out the window, I then remember saying, "Wish me luck" and slid out the window, which wasnt a long fall, despite that fact that it looked like a REALLY long fall when my phone went out the window. As I got down I grabbed my phone and looked up torwards my friends and the girls, as I felt a real intense heat behind me, as I turn I see fire, I begin to walk away when I see a fire truck and fire fighters coming up to me and pointing me to go away from the building, I then remember starting to run.. then I woke up...

Probably means nothing, but what made me think about this more, is I woke up today and found out that there were MORE 9/11 pictures released (arial views) Any ideas?

PostHeaderIcon got spark got fuel/air and my cr 125 still wont start?

i,ve come too a dead end with my dirt bike, the engine refuses to fire up.i,ve changed the air filter,plug and had the carb cleaned but it still wont run.even when i try to bump start it it just bogs no matter what throttle position. ive checked the spark which is fine,ive even sprayed easy start into directly into the carb but still wont kick over.ive checked the reeds, looked into the cylinder through the reed intake which looks fine there's no oil in the cylinder or on plug. the only thing i think it could be now is the piston rings, there is compression there but how much i don't no? also back fires occasionally. could someone give me a point in the right direction before i strip down the head thanks.
oh buy the way its got good fuel in it and ive not long got so dont know how old the piston and rings are.
ive tested compression with my finger and it does push air past so am even more baffled? im gonna test it with a guage just to be sure but any other ideas gladly welcolm thanks

PostHeaderIcon Why wont my 1988 f150 start? It fuel injected with a 351w.?

Replaced Cap, rotor, coil, electronic ignition module, and fuel pressure switch, also new battery and alternator. Cranks and fires and you can smell the fuel after cranking for awhile. It wants to run. I just bought the truck and someone put a motor out of a 1989 f250 in it. What else could it be?
Yeah i marked it and everything the timing is exactly where it was. But when i do the plugs and wires this weekend i am going to make sure the timing is in the right place
Because the body was worth 500 bucks theres no rust on anything, sometimes it doesnt have to run. Some people need to learn that

PostHeaderIcon The fires are burning my house, WHY?

The fires are burning my house, WHY?
A few years ago, our neighbors took a petition around the neighborhood wanting to ban controlled burning around the hills. Their reasons were, to stop the smell of smoke, to reduce pollution and to stop the ashes from getting into the swimming pools and clogging the filters. Now, after a few years of uncontrolled undergrowth, the hills are all burning and darkening the sky with heavy smoke. The smell of burning cars and houses is terrible. The pool water was used to fill fire trucks with water after the houses burnt or was near burning.

Can we sue the ones who signed the petition to stop controlled burning that led to the destruction of our neighborhood? It seems like they are the ones liable for the destruction. Were a few ashes in the pool worth it

PostHeaderIcon Things to do with a 6 week old puppy?

In Australia, you may have heard, there are lots of fires caused to the weather. It is boiling hot, day and night; and almost everyday you hear a fire engine drive straight past your house, to safe somebodies life.

It was a very hot day a couple of weeks ago, and there was a small puppy walking along danger road, about 6-7 meters away from a fire. My Family and myself had picked it up and took it into our arms.

We took him to the vet, a day later to see how old he actually was and what type of breed he was. He was around about 5-6 weeks of age, and was an American Staffordshire. (Staffy).

This was such an experience for me, since I love Staffys.

He sleeps for about a hour, then wakes up and chews almost everything surrounding him, haha.

We bought him chew toys, chopped liver, pig ears, things for him to just chew on. (He also loves the potato sack!)

Whenever I pick him up, he lies on my stomach and then wants to get down, he nibbles on my toes and fingers, which is so adorable.

What are some games I can play with him? Or is he still in his own little world with his little "chew toys" (he jumps around with them, as if he is actually attacking them, it's so cute!)

Please list things to do; thanks in advance.

(I've never adopted a puppy this young into my family before).

PostHeaderIcon Problem with my Honda CB350 on running correctly-please help?

Hi,

I have a 1970 Honda CB350 that doesn't run right. It was given to me to keep if I could get it running, and so I worked onm it a while and got it to run. But there is one problem...When I start it, only the left piston fires, leaving the right one not firing at all.

So I took the spark plug out on the right side, held it in my hand and kicked the engine over, and it didn't shock me at all. So, I assumed that the coil was bad and bought one on ebay. Well, days go by and I finally got it in the mail, I put it on the bike, hooked it all back up, and started it. Well guess what---same thing. Only the left side fired. So I cleaned all of the connections that hook up to the coil, and tried starting it again. But when I started it this time, both pistons fired together for about 5 secs, and the right one quit firing again. So I killed the engine, started it again, and held my hand around the spark plug cap, and felt for a shock, and only got a good shock here and there. Help! PLZ!

PostHeaderIcon My neighbored called and said my truck was smoking….he popped the hood…extinguished the small fire at t?

PostHeaderIcon Should I buy this Jetta?

I'm a 17 year old student and I'm ready to buy my first car. I found a nice 2001 Jetta at a Repo site and it looks fairly good. It's a 2001 Jetta Wolfsburg with 137,000 km on it. It's the 5 speed 1.8T and it's going for about 7,000. Ive been looking at cars for a while now and all these review that I've read have horrible reviews for Volkswagens in general. Repairs in the thousands for things like new engine and transmissions, windows stuck in the doors, fires, radiators blowing up etc. I don't want to spend more than around 7,000 and this car seems like a good deal but I don't have the money to fix these major things. Btw, I would take a mechanic to check it out before i buy it. Any suggestions?? Thanks a lot

PostHeaderIcon What is the maximum size power inverter I can safely use in a freightliner century truck?

PostHeaderIcon What to buy a hunter that has everything?

My father in law is a hunter, he hunts whitetail and mull deer. He has guns, trucks, camo, etc. What would be a good useful present - that he would actually like? He also is into motorcycles and has two. He also has been getting more tattoos lately? He and my mother law are going to Hawaii early next year, and he has been in San Diego for several months cleaning up after the fires, and getting the phone lines back up. He is a great guy - just hard to buy for? We live in the Redwoods/on the coast.
