Hey Heli34,

What has made this country great is the ability of the individual to pusue his or her own dreams and goals. Don't sell yourself short you sound like an intelligent person. The best way to learn form other peoples experiences is to ask analytical questions about what they are saying. Opinions and beliefs are often emotional and backed with little twisted facts that suit the belief. Thats how you can get a seemingly intelligent person to believe something like the forests are bigger now in America than they were 500 yrs ago. Keep in school and don't let fear mongers change you and always check your facts. people put more time into their RC helis than they do checking to see if the 1 or 2 sources of their info are telling the truth or just towing the party line.
Good luck

What would you say an engineering coming out of college could do to get their rightful monetary respect.


Before you get out of school get into some relevant co-op jobs. Historically my engineering managers have all said they view new engineers fresh out of school as 'knowing just enough to be dangerous'. The concensus was that they had the book smarts but they didn't have the experience with how things really work in the real world yet. So to get a leg up on that look for co-op jobs that will give you experience in the field you've chosen so you will be more attractive to potential employers. You will still have to pay your dues and prove what you can do before you get what you're really worth, but you'll in a far better position than your competition if you have some co-op experience.

One last thing for the Clinton folks out there. Want to really know why Bill Clinton was elected president twice?

Two words; Ross Perot

If dumbo hadn't split the republican vote in each election, (and yes he drew some from the Dem side too but no where near what he pulled from the Rep side) BC would have still been chasing tarts around the governors' mansion in AK. In neither election did he win a majority of the vote.

Also notice that once BC was out of it nobody's heard a word from Ross ever since. If he had run again in 2000 Gore would be president right now. I guess you folks had better get him back on your payroll if you want to stand a chance with the current crop of yo-yo's. AAAHHHHHHRRRRRRAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! (yeah, go Dean, that ought to help you appear stable enough to be in command of our nuclear arsenal)

[edit added] And btw, if Bush Sr. had been reelected, we wouldn't be in Iraq right now. It would have been taken care of long before we allowed 17 resolutions to go unenforced, giving him time to hide things. Hell, I can hide 5 tanker trucks full of chemicals in an area the size of California if you gave me 10 years to do it. Not to mention if I can also sneak them out to Oregon and Nevada where you can't search for them. And even if I did keep them inside California, it'd take you several years before you ever found them, unless you got very very lucky.

Hey Dragon2115,

GWB did not get the majority of the vote it took the supreme court to get him elected. I'm not a Dem. or Rep. I vote for who I think will serve best. Please don't bring up stablity and intelligence issues and then say GWB is great. Do you really think this country can't do better than GWB. My attitude is re-elect no one until we get more quality in all branchs of the gov.

Hey Sealerman,

I guess you missed it, no matter how many groups recounted the votes, in each and every case, Bush won. Sorry if you don't like it but that's the facts and they're well documented. Btw, I suggest a civics course so you'll understand how the electoral college works in this country.

And do you really know why the supremes had to get involved? Because of the Democrats on the Florida Supreme Judicial Court that decided judical activism in a national election was a good thing.

Really, how many presidents have had to deal with the aftermath of a major terrorist strike on U.S. soil? Overall I think he did a fairly decent job handling it.

Given the choice between GWB and Al Gore? No.

Do I think we can do better in general? Yes.

Do I think it will come from the current crop of Democrats? No.

I dont know where to begin

Sealerman,

Let us do a little math. Cut down one tree plant seven. How many do you have now. That is how it works. Yes they are smaller for awhile, trust me they will grow. In the making of the move The last of the Mohecans (spelling?) the producers wanted to find the most lush natural looking dense beautiful forest. They searched and search for the right setting. To make a long story short they ended up in a second growth engineered forest.

Yes leaves etc are part of soil but soil conservation authotrities will tell you ash is also a key ingrediant, key for proper pH. When mixing compost, add some ash, it will do wonders. I have a green side, I like to produce my own veggies and raise meat poultry. I like to know the chicken had a good life before the hatchet.

Before forestry and because of thousands of lighting strikes a day, the forest used to routinly burn up over vast areas. Now we put the fires out thinking we are helping nature (and to protect homes of course).

Rick thanks for the info on the tranny mitten. I am new to helis. I have flown planks for over a decade off of frozen lakes. My friends wear gloves but I must have bear fingers on the sticks or I feel disconnected. I'll try the mitten with your recommendation, even though you called me a sheep F**ker and talked somthing about someones wife.

Helicopter34 hang in there bro. I know school is tough. I admit enigineers fresh out of school know a little about everything and a lot about nothing. This is why they have to work under licensed professionals for at least four years-

Around graduation they take an eight hour nation wide exam called the Fundimentals of Engineering. It is hella tough. After four years of school (they call it a four year degree, that is if you are ready for college calculus your first day of school) -which really take the best students five years and most students six years-, you take the FE. If you are among the few that pass, you are called an EIT or Engineer in Training. Pretty glamorous title for someone who stayed up till two every night studing for six years. Most students had a side job like cashier at the store. More often than not, they took PAYCUTS to START their four year internship after six years of the hardest college courses around. After the four year (minimum) internship they must have the PEs they worked under sign and vouch they they are worthy of the license. THEN ANOTHER eight hour test that only a third pass. If you are among the lucky you get your license and add PE to your name. Then the big bucks start rolling in HAHAHA yeah right. The union flagger/stop sign turner (whos boss often is required to pay certain minimum wages to quailify to bid a job) makes about ten bucks an hour more. Hard for me not to get upset, and I make more than most engineers at my level (PE for 3 years) and to boot, the excavator calls me a sheep f**ker.

If you can get a job at the docks BAG SCHOOL. Yes, they make over $100k moving boxes. School will be there when the robots take over. Unions are great for Americans and bad for America.

Oh I forget, after all of that, If you say anything intelligent people will say it is only becasue you listen to Rush Limbaugh.
Good Luck!

Hey Pullpitch,

If you say anything Intelligent it's because you listen to Rush? Who says that? I think the total opposite is true.

Good morning Sealerman

The tree issue is a hot debate.

Mind you I did not say forest acerage is more. Just the number trees. Here are some quotes on that practice of Forestry:

Quote 
Because the United States practices reforestation, its forests have actually grown in size over the past century. About one-third of the United States -- 747 million acres -- is covered with trees. In fact, we have more trees today than we had 70 years ago. And some 4 million more are planted each day. On the nation's commercial forests, net annual growth exceeds harvests and losses to insects and disease by an impressive 47 percent each year.


Quote 
In 1999, the forestry community planted some 1.7 billion trees in the United States. That's an average of more than 4 million new trees planted every day - more than 5 new trees a year for every man, woman and child in America.


To be fair here is a slighty more skeptical view from a science and math community.

http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askas...00/bot00090.htm

No one has actually counted all of the trees so the debate could go on forever. I brought it up because the greenies talk like the end of the world is upon us.

We can argue that one more if you would like or to be safe lets all move into caves and "save the forest".

Got any more?

You're on eof the few making sense so far. Here's another view on coverage area. We don't have more cover but we also aren't losing any anymore.

This is from a pretty green website too.

Hey
I'm skeptical of all info especially anything on the internet. There are groups that sound like enviro wakeo's that are backed by oil interest groups to muck up the water and the opposite is also true, I'm sure you know that . I am not a liberal or a conservative my veiw changes depending on the issues.
I'm not changing you mind and your not changing my mind so this could go on forever.It was nice talking to you.

Im kinda the same

If I had to lable myself I would choose libertarian. I like just enough government to defend the nation and keep people from pouring mercury in the rivers etc.

Socially I grew up a long hair dope smokin metal head. I played bar scenes and concert halls around Alaska, Portland and Seattle. I have opened for Metallica, Anthrax and others. Not your typical conservative. BTW dope was legal here until 1989 (I have issuse with Reagan here) and has sorta been relegalized last year. (different interpritations of the Alaska State Consititution -Anchorage cops will bust you, State Troopers are ordered not to mess with anything but large growers). The music scene was fun until Meth hit. Saw my buddies rot inside out, litteraly. So sad, the number of youth on that stuff in Portland is not realized. I never needed it. I was happy with life and confident without it.

I do listen to Rush but often disagree. I also listen to Catie Couric and Tom Brokenjaw for the left news. I am a news junkie.

Now as a highway designer and land development engineer I work with State Fish and Game and Federal Fish and Wildlife officials to make shure we preserve as we develope. We establish buffer areas around salmon spawning grounds and perform hydaulic computations to make shure that as the Salmon are running up river during record storms, the flow velocity inside highway culverts can be overcome by migrating fish. We build rest areas inside the culverts. This is only one example. The environment controls where how and why we develope infrastructure.

I have gottin to personal, to show I am not a "rape and pillage republican", few conservatives are. We want to preserve open spaces and wildlife so future generations can hunt and fish too.

My motto,

Fillet and release!

Sorry my spelling sucks rocks.

Don't you love how the Feds call it Fish and Wildlife and the State of Alaska calls it Fish and GAME

If you dont hear back from me, send a search crew to Mt Mckinley. My buddy rented a 2001 Cessna 172 and we are gonna go do a couple
fly-bys.

Gotta go-

Would pick you up if I could

Scheduling confusion.

Not shure if we fly at noon or two. Fresh snow and clear skies though.

I'd love to post a picture when I return. But have not figured out how you do so. Does the picture have to be your gallery first? I read the instruction briefly once, it sounded like it cost money to post pictures on the gallery, except on Mondays or somthing. I'll look into it but pointers ae welcome.

When I get back I'll be in the office working on the Richardson Highway North Pole Interchange. (In the town of North Pole, not at the North Pole).

Using orthographic aerial photography I am analyzing different highway interchange configurations - clovers, diamonds, single point urban etc. I love this work. Not drafting a whole planset, rather drawing on the photo in AutoCAD, designing the things (horizontally for now) to see how many houses get wiped out etc under each scenario and what scenarios are impractical due to streams etc. Sounds easier than it is. You have to take into account the highway design velocity of 70mph and side streets of 40mph, sigh distances and so on and draw it geometrically correct according to AASHTO requirements. Before one road is built there are often 20 designed. "Dont wipe out Santas house they said". This is not a joke, there is Santas House in North Pole, on St Nick street, (or is it Mistletoe?). This is where the letters go the kids write. (it is a tourist trap).

Aerial photography is what got me into RC helis. Haven't got too far yet though.

You don't have to have them in your gallery, you can use the IMG button. This allows you to post an image stored on another server. You probably have web space somewhere you can upload your image to.

Here is an example, this pic of my Hornet is from my server.

I have a friend who lives close that grew up in Alaska and graduated from North Pole High School. I always thought that was cool.

Not a cloud in the sky, except over the runway. Might not fly out today.

Rick, thanks for the photo pointer but it is still not clear:

Do you mean like my email account at netscape? Do I email myself the photo? I hate to sound stupid, I use the web, computers, and multiple office servers all the time but this is new to me. I'll give it a try with a photo of my old Concept (RIP). If you don't see the photo by tomorrow sometime could you give me a list of steps (for dummies)

We CAN just all get along.

Thanks.
