That was one tough game to win! hard hitting as expected Aaron Rogers showed why he is the best and the defense stepped up several notches to contain a very potent offence they had to bend but they didn't break. The Pats took away for most of the game there primary receivers with a few notable exceptions and up stepped two more they couldn't cover the pack is hitting there peak at the right time.

the 49ers got 3 points dino I watched the game the Hawks were relentless on defense and as a final insult ate turkey on the logo at the 50 yrd line if that don't stir them up for there next game at Seattle nothing will.

Niners did not do well,did the seahawks really eat turkey out there? If they did that shows no class at all there team and coaches should be ashamed of themselves. I did not see the game as I was on the road and it was not on my radio. I only heard the score on the news.

Yes they did dino Russell Wilson and Sherman along with a women reporter it was televised and I agree it was an insult to 49er fans I can tell you one thing it would not have happened at Lambou field I have a feeling where the stuffing would go.

How about the F-82 Twin Mustang.

The F-82 twin Mustang came late in the war 1945 and the production line was halted but some were used by Japan during the Korean conflict it had a top speed of 475mph and with extra fuel tanks a long cruising range they were discontinued in favor of the jet aircraft.

Some people will feel strongly against Facebook or any site monitoring private messages for the reasons Topdown stated it would violate there right to privacy, I don't honestly feel that there is anything sent in an email or text or whatever is any worse then what is already on the web on dozens of sites that have webcam girls or even more explicit and graphic photos or videos so I don't feel anything I put out there privately or publicly would be any cause for alarm or even raise a few eyebrows, unfortunately there are individuals who use the web to prey on children or plan a covert act that will result in great harm and if the NSA really dose monitor they don't do a very good job because several people including Americans had there heads cut off and it was uploaded to you tube surely they must know the domain and who is responsible but still it happens and no one has come up with a solution to shut these events down. I believe in the freedom of speech and privacy but I don't think the founding fathers envisioned the internet or global communications when they drafted the constitution or the bill of rights.

I agree that with regards to any plots to harm or attack people or buildings there should be people who monitor these activities and report them to the respective agencies that can take action and prevent this type of atrocity from happening just as we moderators monitor spam on this site. privacy is not the issue here but the welfare of innocent people and action must be taken prior to these acts of violence this should be a law.

can any one tell me how to set up a boss rc30 loop ststion with a marshall as50d amp. do i need two mics like ed sheeran has and what leads do i need. thanks,

It depends on what your using the loop station for if its just guitar plug the chord from your guitar into the "in" on the loopstation and plug another chord from the "out" on the loop station to your amp and set the level control on the loop station in the middle.

If your mikeing a vocal there should be an input (1/4 " jack) and a mic volume control same for the input for guitar

If your using a combination of non electric acoustic guitar and vocal mic you may need a small mixer for separation or you could try plugging a mic into the guitar imput and another mic into the mic input and see if that works.

This conversation brings back memories - I also had model planes suspended by mono fishing line from my bedroom ceiling when I was a kid.  I'd stage them in dogfights and run mono from the guns of planes with dabs of yellow paint about every half-inch to look like tracer fire and string out cotton which had been blackened with a candle flame from the planes that had been "hit".  The only WW II jets I had were an ME-262 and ME-163 "Komet".

I can't verify if Wikipedia is correct or not but per their info on jet aircraft development: (Germany kept info on their jet development and first flights secret so Italy claimed first jet?)

June 1939 - first flight of Heinkel He 176 (598 kph)
August 1939 Heinkel 178 (turbojet 750 kph est)
August 1940 Campini Camproni (motorjet - 360 kph - pilot claimed he only flew half throttle)
April 1941 ME 262 (870 kph)
October 1941 ME163 (1004 kph)

Ed can you provide a link to this information? I have the Campini Camproni 1st flight in August of 1939 I will do some research and check
I followed up on this and I am getting conflicting data, before I posted the photo of the Italian jet I was quoting a source that dated the 1st flight as in September of 1939 but other sources show it was 1940 (I am confused) and the German Heinkel jet's He 178 date of 1st flight as September but further checking shows it was the latter model the prototype He 176 flew in June of 1939 I apologize for posting the wrong information happy Thanksgiving

My favorite was the Corsair. It was built for one purpose - to shoot down Zeros. Second was the Black Widow, which when laden was just enough fuselage to strap a pilot and a big honking powerplant to a bomb. Once the bomb was dropped, it could gain altitude super fast to get away and didn't present much profile for enemies to hit, but it carried a LOT of ammunition.

Zurf the P61 Black Widow of world war II had a crew of 3 and a top speed of 450mph is this the aircraft you are referring to?

Or are you thinking of the Blackbird mach 3+ reconnaissance jet spy plane?

That Campini  looks like it's a rocket with a cockpit.


I was at the Nellis AFB airshow in Vegas a couple weeks ago. Saw some awesome warbirds and the newest jets. Too many to list, but man, I love those planes!!

If you get a chance, check out Dogfights, it's a good watch, put out by the History channel.

I will see if my Netflix carries it they have a lot of History channel shows there might even be a few on you tube

Well dang TF, I thought everything on the internet/wikipedia was true, now I'm gonna have to rethink my life. I built a lot of model planes, boats and cars in my youth until mom took away my glue.

Smart mom!! My favorite plane was the P51 Mustang,they are still one of the best handling plans out there even though not a jet.

The P51 was a good aircraft and when they fitted it with the Rolls Royce merlin engines it was wicked fast over 500 mph and in a dive it match the ME262 and shoot it down.

That's very cool, Russell !

During grades 7 - 9 (approx) I built 1:48 scale models of almost everything that flew in WW2, and had them hanging from my bedroom ceiling with fishing line. I had always thought the ME 262 was the first combat jet, and folks at Wikipedia are still saying that:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_262

My fav was always the Junkers JU87 "Stuka" Dive Bomber. It was one of the most feared aircraft in WW2 due to its unique tactical bombing capabilities:

http://www.canadianwings.com/Battle%20o … /stuka.jpg

Today, the US has tactical bombers like the fearsome F-111, which I saw in a demonstration several years ago, which left me gob-smacked:

http://www.ausairpower.net/USAF/F-111A- … Home-1.jpg

Our Canadian tactical bomber contribution to WW2 was the De Havilland DH98 Mosquito. It was made almost entirely of spruce lumber and plywood ... whatta hoot! It was apparently quite fast, but I would think it would have to be kept dry so the plywood didn't de-laminate! (LOL)

The De Havilland Mosquito squadrons were very effective in WWII the pilots took on missions knowing the survival rate would be low very brave indeed we owe a lot to these men

BJ I think it would have been equal to going into space and dino it was a two seat aircraft, Germany made many mistakes and had they developed the Blitz Arado jet bomber which was activated to late not to mention the Horton stealth jet (it flew over 600 mph) and was even better then the ME 262

I am a WWII buff on aviation it has been the belief that Germany had the first jet aircraft to fly mainly the Heinkiel in September of 1939 and later The Messerschmitt 262 but there was one that was even earlier in August of 1939 a successful test flight of the Campini Caproni C.C.2 jet from Italy took the honors it sits in a museum now here is a photo.

Sunday in Green Bay is going to be a very important test for the Packers The Patriots are at the top of there game I don't know what the outcome will be but I do know it will be hard hitting on both sides of the ball. Both QB's are hot, both teams have a solid running game and it will come down to turnovers and penalties the game will be as intense as a playoff.

Has anybody tried the cheap Elixir guitars strings from China ,Iv'e seen them for sale on various sites at unbelievable cheap prices .In the UK we pay £15 a set

It would be better to buy a few dozen and have someone on this side of the pond mail them. I get Xavier strings in any gauge and they are sold by Guitarfettish.com at 32 American dollars a dozen(with Tax) and there every bit as good or better then Elixir (I have used these on both electric and acoustic guitars) your strings are your sound! I would pay more to get a good sound but that's me. To answer your question no I have not tried the cheap Chinese strings but I am American and I try to avoid supporting China or any other country when possible.

That's pretty cool Russell. I've been in the same situation and couldn't remember how I played something.

Pete I have lost countless ideas because I forgot them by the time I powered up the recorder, it has nothing to do with age just the subtle nuances in a chord change make a huge difference in the overall feel of the progression but I know I am preaching to the choir lol
