Yes Bob, I did watch the video, and read the FactCheck article, and check into the sources for the FactCheck article, and found how much of the video left out important facts and numbers to cause a significant slant to the video by ignoring those facts and creatively editing sources. Ian

Anyone that decides to check the sources cited at the bottom of the pages ...

Might as well get some more information before jumping to conclusions: FactCheck.org : Is GM Becoming ‘China Motors’?

The team I work with has been playing with Windows 8 for a few months now. Things do not look very good so far. I think we are equating it with Vista. 7 was a huge improvement over Vista, but I think 8 is a big leap backwards. Basically, it feels like a smart phone/tablet OS, but for a desktop...

Yes, it matters who wrote it to some degree. If legit, and backed by others in the business and economics field, then it lends it credence. If written by some sorry sot who knows nothing of economics and business, then it is pure BS. Also, to falsely attribute it to someone whose credentials...

It would probably have more substance if the actual author was attributed, as opposed to falsely linking it to a PhD Economist: David R. Kamerschen It has also been attributed to another PhD, Thomas Davies at University of South Dakota, who also denies writing it and will not comment on...

Have you tried contacting Gordy Goode or Brian Clark? They were the previous owners (Gordy -> Brian -> Gordy in that order). Ian

Yes, two different guys. Hemipanter is Goran Malmberg, who also makes/made custom guitars and amps (including the "star" guitar for ABBA, a guitar for Clapton during his Cream years, and amps for Led Zep). He also wrote a book on building race cars, from chassis design to aero. GOX is run...

I actually met Pete some years back when Tommy the Musical was in development here at the La Jolla Playhouse. He was a pretty nice chap. Ian

Hi Don, Probably the only issues would be driving in the wet (which even the "roofed" cars have issues with) and lack of someplace to put your hand when entering exiting the car. One woudl assume the windshield and surround would be reinforced some, but I have heard tales of "rooofed" cars...

I am not defending LA as much as concerned about how the USADA (and other similar agencies) operate. For example, the claim is that the most recent tests done on LA's 2+ year old samples are, what's the phrase they are using - "fully consistent" with blood doping. My concern here is how are...

And, to qoute your twice quoted quote: Perhaps this case can be tried in the courts after the USADA renders its decision, and thus he has no need to fight the arbitration process. Which I believe I already stated - that this may go to trial after the USADA renders its decision. Ian

Have you seen the contract he signed? Did it have complete details on the arbitration process? Now that he is retired, is he bound by that contract for current proceedings? Also, what about the claims that the USADA had its own 8 year limitation, which would indicate that they have no authority...

No, I am not saying he should go back on his word. I am saying he is totally justified in refusing to defend himself due to the fact that the process is extremely one-sided and there is no way for him to mount a defense. It will be interesting to see what the UCI's final decision is after the...

No I didn't. What I am saying is LA cannot mount any kind of defense. So why should he continue? He may not be able to question the witnesses directly. He has no idea exactly what the charges are. There are no specific times, dates, places where it is stated he was doping. There is no discovery...

Jeff - did you read the link I posted? From an ex Federal prosecutor? LA cannot mount a defense based upon the way the USADA is set up, and how fast they are moving. The biggest - there is no "discovery". LA's team would not be able to question his former teammates and colleagues because the...

Only in the courts, and really, only in criminal cases. Which is why the Feds dropped their case after 3 years. They could not prove it. Unfortunately, the USADA is not using the courts - they are, apparently, judge, jury and executioner. Ian

Except that it is probably the same witnesses the Feds questioned during secret grand jury meetings a few years ago which eventually led to the Feds dropping the case against him ... read the following and see what LA was up against: The Kafkaesque Trial Of Lance Armstrong: A Former...

ERA still makes kits. I don't think you will find a significant difference in weight between stainless and aluminum. But, if it's really an issue, Tornado has a carbon fiber option.

I, for one. would love the EPA and AAA and others to let go of this "55 mph is where you get the best highway mileage" BS. Every car is different. My 1995 Acura Integra GSR saw its best mpg cruising at 80 mph. 4 adult passengers, going from San Diego to Las Vegas, with AC on. We were in a...
