Romney's record--approximately 80% of the companies he has worked with are still going and making money

Oboma's record-- every company he has supported with taxpayers money (yours and my money) has gone bankrupt and taken millions and millions of that taxpayer money with them.

I think I like Romney's record better

The original is in DesPlaines, Il, and is a museum. In the summer there are cars from the 50's parked around it. I took these this morning on the way to work. This is not an operating store, but if I turned aroound, there is a full MickeyD's across the street. Even at 9 am, there were others out there taking pics.

Check the prices on the menu

Thank you.

I know this is a still photography forum, but since so many here seem to like the planes, I thought you might enjoy this video. If this doesn't belong here, let me know and I won't post any more of them.

Every one here seams to like their planes with motors.
Here is my kind of plane

I can fly this. Just can't take off or land it.


And this is is one I built and fly (R/C)

I went to a gun show in AZ (the Cardinals stadium) last weekend and I had to take my DSLR back to the car. 95% of the people have cameras in their phones. I didn't get it.

I just copy and paste the URL and about 40 pictures come up. No asking to sign up for anything.

You might want to check local laws also. I fly RC,too. I know that using RC plane or copter in and around LA for commercial purposes is not allowed. Too crowded and the possibility of crashing into some one or a house is too great.

These were sent to me via E-mail. Hope you enjoy.

Found this one in Sicily, Italy

Aren't those called "beer goggles?" They make everything look better

ACCELERATION PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE

* One Top Fuel dragster 500 cubic-inch Hemi engine makes more horsepower
than the first 4 rows of the Daytona 500.

* Under full throttle, a dragster engine consumes 11.2 gallons of nitro
methane per second; a fully loaded 747 consumes jet fuel at the same rate with 25% less energy being produced.

* A stock Dodge Hemi V8 engine cannot produce enough power to merely drive the dragster's supercharger.

* With 3000 CFM of air being rammed in by the supercharger on overdrive, the fuel mixture is compressed into a near-solid form before ignition. Cylinders run on the verge of hydraulic lock at full throttle.

* At the stoichiometric 1.7:1 air/fuel mixture for nitro methane the flame front temperature measures 7050 degrees F.

* Nitro methane burns yellow. The spectacular white flame seen above the stacks at night is raw burning hydrogen, dissociated from atmospheric water vapor by the searing exhaust gases.

* Dual magnetos supply 44 amps to each spark plug. This is the output of an arc welder in each cylinder.

* Spark plug electrodes are totally consumed during a pass. After 1/2 way, the engine is dieseling from compression plus the glow of exhaust valves at 1400 degrees F. The engine can only be shut down by cutting the fuel flow.

* If spark momentarily fails early in the run, unburned nitro builds up in the affected cylinders and then explodes with sufficient force to blow cylinder heads off the block in pieces or split the block in half.

* Dragsters reach over 300 MPH before you have completed reading this sentence.

* In order to exceed 300 MPH in 4.5 seconds, dragsters must accelerate an average of over 4 G's. In order to reach 200 MPH well before half-track, the launch acceleration approaches 8 G's.

* Top Fuel engines turn approximately 540 revolutions from light to light!

* Including the burnout, the engine must only survive 900 revolutions under load.

* The redline is actually quite high at 9500 RPM.

* THE BOTTOM LINE: Assuming all the equipment is paid off, the crew
worked for free, & for once, NOTHING BLOWS UP, each run costs an estimated
$1,000 per second.

The current Top Fuel dragster elapsed time record is 4.428 seconds for the
quarter-mile (11/12/06, Tony Schumacher). The top speed record is 336.15
MPH (541 km/h) as measured over the last 66' of the run (05/25/05, Tony Schumacher).

Putting this all into perspective:

You are driving the average $140,000 Lingenfelter twin-turbo powered
Corvette Z06. Over a mile up the road, a Top Fuel dragster is staged &
ready to launch down a quarter-mile strip as you pass. You have the
advantage of a flying start. You run the 'Vette hard up through the gears
and blast across the starting line & pass the dragster at an honest 200 MPH.
The 'tree' goes green for both of you at that moment.

The dragster launches & starts after you. You keep your foot down hard, but
you hear an incredibly brutal whine that sears your eardrums & within 3
seconds the dragster catches & passes you. He beats you to the finish line,
a quarter-mile away from where you just passed him. Think about it - from a
standing start, the dragster had spotted you 200 MPH & not only caught, but
nearly blasted you off the road when he passed you within a mere 1320 foot
long race!

This one was moving at about 125 MPH. Taken on Slide film in the early 70's

I don't have the membership to costco, so I couldn't know that, but its good to know. I know that everything that is offered from Google or the other guys is a good deal, and by posting it here, some one will let the rest of us know if its good or not.

Thanks
