I'd also be interested in a definitive answer, as the early GT40 in white with blue stripes is what got me hooked on GT40s. My guess would be Wimbledon White with Guardsman Blue stripes.

It's a matter of scale. Air/oil/water separators exist in many sizes but to scale it up to work at the size of the current GoM oil slick is no small feat.

I estimate 99.5% of the expertise necessarily to adequately respond to this catastrophe is in the private sector, so this isn't a role for the government to fulfill. Government's role will be to work wisely with industry safety experts to better regulate safety of the entire oil industry, from...

Malcolm, I'm glad you are well.

FWIW, my AV software gave me a malware alarm when I clicked that link.

Unfortunate that video can't be seen off island. The Wikipedia article on this event is interesting in that merely states that Mercedes Benz withdrew from the race, while I've gotten the impression from reading other sources that they high-tailed it back to Germany in what might have been a...

Three months and ten days after I was dumped by my former employer and I am pleased to announce that Underground Energy has landed its first Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage project. Every day I learn more, I work harder, and I build more value in my business. We're starting off slow...it's a...

Jim, your original post: Finally, 66 posts later, after much prodding, you were forced to admit you were wrong: For the record, and on topic, we have established that this "payback" was essentially GM closing out an escrow account. The US government gave GM approximately $50 billion, of...

There are a lot of fairly narrow perspectives presented in this thread. Look at the big picture: Our congress has just passed a bill that the majority of the American people are against, thanks largely to Chicago-style arm twisting by the Obama administration. The financial analysis that was...

Breaking the rear tires loose at 120 mph in 4th gear is pretty damn impressive. With that much power the car is damn near undriveable though.

Fran, please accept my sincere condolences.

Thanks for your words of support and encouragement, folks - it means a lot to me. Eric - you are not alone! Keep your eyes and your mind open; I'm sure you will find a way to improve your work situation. I heard some great words of wisdom the other day: "If you love what you do you'll never...

The Technology and the Business Because the above post was pretty vague about this “innovative green energy technology” around which I formed my company, let me tell you a little bit about it. I think it may be of interest to a lot of forum members who appreciate innovation, problem solving...

Eight Years Wasted I lost my job a few weeks ago. First time in my life that's ever happened. Looking back on it, despite some good times in the earlier days, that job was a nearly complete waste of eight years of my life. My salary increased an average of less than 1% per year since I...

I did a project once at a 230,000 squre foot building in the Boston area. The facilities guys told me what a lousy job the original owner/builder had done, such that they had hired their own structural engineer to come in and evaluate the roof relative to snow loads. He showed me the end...

I think Them Changes is a better rif. I know Jimi played it before anyone else with Buddy Miles and Band of Gypsys, but Buddy might have written the music as well as the lyrics.

Keith, it would be nice to bring some tech before you throw a turd in the punchbowl like that. Can you provide any links regarding real or potential oil reservoirs in Afghanistan? I'm also surprised at the tone of the comments and the poll results. I think Marcus hit the nail on the head...

When I had one a few years ago I said to the doctor, "If you find my dignity somewhere up there, could you please return it?" Not really that big of a deal. It's amazing how many men are girly-men when it comes to seeing a doctor and looking after their health.
