I'm going out of town for two days for work and no internet, so the discussion will have to wait. I just have one thing off the top of my head, and it's about eastern Asia. I read an article that said China would likely overtake the US's GDP in I think 12 or 15 years with the current growth rates. So they definitely are doing something right at least in that sense. However, they also have almost four times the population of the US. Shouldn't they have four times the GDP? Granted they were pretty bad for a long time under the Commies, but I think if they ever do get 4x US GDP, they'll run into the same problem the US has been having with trying to be the world power. One country can't do it alone. The world market has changed, it needs many more even countries.

This is what I am pushing for. The slab we saw was not as flashy.

That looks like a tiger

I know. propably not for the kitchen. I just really like the paterns.

Does anyone here know anyone in the Biomedical Electronics Technology field?

Tons of customers working on Bio-devices.

I'm looking to get out of Nursing, and I'm looking at a school that offers Biomedical electronics. I'd really like to find out how I would get in with a company who builds MRI or CT machines though. Travel around and install those. I really don't know where to turn though.

I thought about getting a rad tech, nurse degree or something along those lines just so I could sell and rep medical machines. I HATE that I need school to succeed in sales now. I may be close minded but to me sales is sales. So long as I can understand the product and who it's for I shouldn't need to have had the same school. It rips me raw. They don't even care if you have done the job you went to school for, just if you have the school. Hell some jobs will take someone with a degree. It may be in basket weaving, but because they have school, it doesn't matter that I have 10 years of sales, 6 of them in management, 3 years of HR work and payroll....

experience doesn't matter.

OK thinking that 10 times VAS would be correct in guessing where IB would begin to be a posibility, if I have 2 drivers that are 383L vas. That would mean 7660L or 120 Cubic feet.

Fawk!

Does that math sound right??

I think Scott from Fi says its supposed to be 20x VAS

For true IB, Qts=Qtc. Generall regarded though as 10x Vas idea but 4x and above you can accomplish it, although it won't be true IB.

I'm just going to build a huge vented.

How big would a t line box be I wonder.......

I'm sure at the end of the day I will just build a simple low tuned box, but since it won't be built for a while, I can live on with these flights of Fantasy.

Asia is one thing. I far too often find my self in line with what was said earlier by Sean. The EU now has a new head. The last idiot was horrible. The new EU head has the chance to take over.

I'm not concerned with China or russia, nothing even close. I have not been to China, but what I have heard from people I know who have been and have family there, they are just now barely breaking into being industrial, much less information aged. They sure can reverse enginear things, but they are a reactive culture, and government. Local power is huge but it's not as global as most think.

Fawk I could be wrong.... who knows. I love the discussion though.

Matt when your looking for your 3rd world country to live, I suggest Thailand. Close to so much natural beauty. Many other wonders are local too. I would kill to see Angkor, some of the temples in china and the Taj.

Sex shop offering free toys tomorrow to the first 100 people to come in and say they filed their tax return, even though those same people will have already been pretty screwed pretty thoroughly

Fun story of the morning.... Yesterday, the wife gives me a call while driving (528i) saying the battery light just came on, I asked her the normal questions that could have lead to a low battery, none of them happened. While she was replying to me the steering got very heavy. As she was explaining the sensation, the temperature gauge shot straight into the red. Luckily she was pulling into the parking space at her meeting. I get her to turn off the car asap and pop the hood. Well coolant is everywhere and a little steam is coming out. She had to go into her meeting an she had the car seat, so I was stuck at home with Junior and no car seat, which means the car had to stay over night where it was. Anyway, a co-worker of her's has a BMW mechanic neighbor that has his own shop now. Apparently he works on all the Ravens and Orioles BMW's, and does some work for a few of the BMW race teams. Fast forward to this morning. The mechanic was nice enough to ride out to the car at butt crack this morning. He gives us a call telling us the wonderful news.

In order as to what occured:

• The Alternator died with no warning, heating up quickly on the bearings slowly seizing its pulley due to the impeller not spinning enough to cool it, which could have occurred due to a blocked cooling duct
  
• The tension on the belt started to burn up the belt and over stress the belt tensioner
  
• This in turn was not spinning the power steering pump taking away power steering
  
• Then the belt failed and damaged the water pump and belt tensioner
  
• Which finally caused a few hoses to fail and pour the coolant all over the place
  

Coming in right after all 4 new tires, new rear rotors ordered, rear pads on the way, new upgraded air filter, and a routine maintenance about to be due, this is horrible timing to have to get a new Alternator/WaterPump/Belts/Belt Tensioner/Hoses etc.

In Thailand the women outnumber men by a huge margin and to top it off many of the men are gay. The ratio for the single guy is rather stellar and Thai women seem to think they are put on this earth to please man. Definitely worth a visit.

That is rough!

I feel my truck is pulling the same crap on me lately. I feel for you though because I drive a Ford. A bit cheeper to fix I hope.

Naw.... he's just there for the history and culture....

My navy co worker said pretty much the same thing Sean. That and 5 bucks will get you food for a day, a house keeper and chef, and you might have some change left over for a pair of lady friends for the weekend.

[///M5 2,833]

I love Thai food as well, could eat it everyday.
