This is one of the most honest statements I've heard thus far on the ongoing health care debate. Watch out everyone, before you know it this bill will slip through faster than Monica made it into slick willies office.

An easy way to convert Mod/Tod video to regular video

forreeing — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:09:58 GMT

Anyone who has purchased a JVC Everio HDD video camera has probably learned that they chose to use some god forsaken proprietary video format - the .MOD extension.
Apparently this is some sort of MPEG2 encoding, however, most major video editing suites prefer not to accept this format� what we need is something more common� such as .AVI or .MPG. I would be happy with the .MOD file format if the software that came with the JVC Everio actually worked.
I have tried many video converters software with no luck so far, it�ll get halfway through the process, and then something will fail.
Now a type of converter called Mod Converter appears. Here I want to share the one regarded as the best on the market by most people. I also want to share the instructions about how to use it.

Step 0: Free download 4easysoft Mod Converter and install it.

Step 1: Run 4Easysoft Mod Converter and load your Mod/Tod files.

Step 2: Setup the output profile and the output file path.
Step 3: Start conversion
After you set all the settings, you can click �Start� to start conversion.
With this powerful converter, you can convert Mod to WMV, Mod to 3GP, Mod to FLV, Mod to iPod,etc.

Tips:

1: How to adjust your video effect
Use the function of �effect�, you can set the video Brightness, Contrast, Saturation. And checking Deinterlacing helps you to convert interlaced video to the progressive video.

2: How to split your video
The "Trim" function also servers as a video splitter for you to get any time-length video episode. You can set the "Start Time" and "End Time" to set the time of the clip or you can directly drag the slide bar to the accurate position.

3: How to crop off the black edges and adjust the size of video play region
By using the "Crop" function you can crop the black edge of your video and you can also drag the line around the video image to adjust the video play region to fit for your mobile devices.

4: How to join your file pieces
If you want to merge several files into one file you can choose them and click the "Merge into one file" to do it.
5: How to save your favorite picture
If you like the current image when preview video, you can use the "Snapshot" option. Just click the "Snapshot" button the image will be saved and you can click the "Open" button next to "Snapshot" button to open your picture.

Now you can edit and convert your Mod/Tod videos to regular video formats. You can upload them onto YouTube, Myspace and so on to share them with your friend and other people.

"Bro-Dozer"

shorm — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:38:41 GMT

my wifes friend wrote this, thought some of you might like it.

Brodozer:
Term used to describe the vehicles piloted by sweet bros. Usually large white trucks to begin with, they are then trasformed into the epitamy of excess, via the addition of enormous lift kits, huge tires (usually baja claws see "haha claws") Eveything chromable is chromed, and everything flamable is flamed, lights are often mounted in the front bumper to stay at the leagal height. The trucks tip easily, and don't off-road any better than they ever did.

Its time for you to go home and take care of the house. You cannot handle the real world.

Once again, in my 20 years of filling out a W-9, I saw a man/friend at work get written up or fired because he said something he thought was completely innocent and a female got OFFENDED and took it to HR.

She could have choose to realize that in the real world, people may say things you do not like�Not because they are mean, but because they don�t know what�s going on in your head.

I have yet to see a man go to HR offended by something someone says, because frankly, they aren�t as self centered to think the world is about them. Women however can get a man fired if he even LOOKS at them in a way they don�t like.

Go home ladies, make babies and �nest�. Leave business to the men, who are strong enough to handle it

Towing 51 Pontiac on Tow Dolly

kencary — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:03:55 GMT

I am closing in on a '51 Pontiac, but it is about 400 miles away from here and I need to find a way to bring it home. Most auto transport companies want $ 700 or more to transport the car on an open trailer.

The car is a 3-speed manual so I am thinking about towing it on a U-Haul tow dolly whith the driveshaft connected. I would think that would be OK in a manual transmission car. Some people say that the I should use a wood block to hold down the clutch while towing. I am not sure if this is necessary.

I would think towing a Manual trans car with the wheels down is pretty much the same as towing a 4WD with the transfer case in neutral. I see people do this all the time behind motor homes.

Has anybody done this? Can you tell me about your experience?

Sorry I've been gone so long, out on training.

Would anyone be interested in a "Tactical, SHTF" thread??
If so, let's post here. We can discuss BoBs, weapons, ammo, food storage and of course our "SUPREMELY VIABLE" Land Rovers! Maybe we can even get it as it's own permanent sub-forum.

Preparing for what's coming!

NASCAR vs Bugatti Veyron: Who Wins at Talladega?

troverman — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:27:04 GMT

I know the Veyron has more horsepower and greater top speed than a current Nascar. But for a full race, who would win? The Bug's tires only last 15minutes and fuel lasts only 12 minutes at full throttle. But this doesn't take into account off-throttle periods during cornering and drafting advantages. Is Talladega even long enough for the Bug to exhibit its higher top speed? Its record was set on the 6-mile Ehra-Lession straightaway. From what I have read unrestricted NASCARS make about 860bhp and have 17.75 gal fuel cells. But Talladega is restricted, and they only make 435bhp with restrictors. They also only weigh 3450lbs. Anyone want to play with this? Personally I think NASCAR racing is rediculous and I would love to think a *stock* Bugatti could literally drive in off the street, whip the race-only NASCARS, then drive home!
