Don't feel put down, Comrade Red Mouse. [:)]

How can you say that blunt trauma euthanasia methods are humane? Even if the object of the blunt trauma (airplane) is travelling at 500mph, it's still not a recognized means of humane euthanasia. You guys are full of contradictions-the airline should be sued for animal cruelty!!! [:@]

[;)]

Is it more or less humane mincing them up before passing them through a furnace and firing the remains into the atmosphere at several hundred miles per hour?

About the same, only much more 'entertaining' for the spectators. Hey Steve-o: any close encounters of the worst kind with our fine feathered friends at 1,000 feet?

Many. When I was 15 and taking lessons in a Cessna 172 we hit a bird (with the prop). I've been in planes that hit (and were hit by) everything from starlings to turkey buzzards (with a couple of seagulls for good measure). Even one large bird (we couldn't ID the remains) that hit the right windshield and caused a deicer short (blowing a hole in the side window (we were below 10K obviously ) so no explosive decompression, but it being winter in Maine, it was a cold flight.

I recall there was one report (not us) in the mid-80's of a bird strike above 14k....which led to a lot of jokes about watching out for birds with oxygen masks! [:D]

You've never had a bird fly into your windshield? They like to "car surf" off the air disruption the car causes. Sometimes they miss![:D][X(] I once say a seagull really screw up and smashed into the radiator of the car in front of me! [X(] MASSIVE amounts of feathers and gore ! [:D]

I have a question for the dog experts.  Our recent adoptee is almost completely blind.  Some shapes and shadows according to our vet.  Problem we have is that he goes completely comatose during the day and then he is up wandering the house all night.  A cat digging in the box or when one jumps from their perch sends him into home defense mode.  He has a really good woofer on him.  My question is how do we get his day/night cycle swapped back to normal?

"Just" 2,5 right now [;)]

I'm mostly geocaching along with friends in the nice late summer weather. If the weather is bad, I'm watching the olympics.

And BTW, Sia says hi to all of you guys.

0 to 007mph: Aston Martin £25,000 super bicycle that uses car technology that James Bond would be proud of

By Daily Mail UK


It takes seven people two weeks to make and costs £25,000 to buy.

And the high-tech gadgetry on Aston Martin’s new road bike could just be enough to tempt James Bond onto two wheels.

Dubbed the ‘world’s most technologically advanced’ bike, the elegant One-77 was based on the firm’s £1 million namesake supercar and was launched earlier this month.



Project manager Simon Roberts poses with the new Aston Martin super cycle, which comes with a £25,000 price tag:




And while 007 won’t find any on-board rockets at his disposal, there is more than enough to impress even the most dedicated of cyclists.
An on-board computer and touchscreen display details 100 items of information including speed, temperature, rate of climb and power. It also measures ECG, respiration rate and core body temperature.

The state-of-the-art bike even has a Bluetooth connection to share data with smartphones and other devices.


Dubbed the 'world's most technologically advanced' bike, the elegant One-77 was based on the firm's £1 million namesake supercar and was launched earlier this month:




But, in common with its automotive namesake, there will only be 77 ever made.

And while the £25,000 may seem steep to most the firm which built the bike has already received four orders from Australia, Japan and Brazil and seven more inquiries.

The bike was designed and built by Norfolk-based company Factor Bikes which makes components for the motorsport and aerospace industries.

The firm, a subsidiary of bf1systems, has spent the last year developing the One-77 bicycle at their technical centre in Diss.

A team of 15 specialists began work last year to design and make the bicycle on behalf of Aston Martin.



Despite the wallet-busting cost, the firm which built the bike has already received four orders from Australia, Japan and Brazil and seven more inquiries:




Simon Roberts, project manager at Factor Bikes, said: ‘We are using a lot of electronics in the bike to take lab data measurements on the road and there are components we use in motorsport that we have adapted for the One-77.

‘The cranks measure the left and right leg power 200 times a second and the electronics on the handle bars measure things like GPS, heart rate, temperature, humidity, and altitude.’

The cutting-edge road bike, one of the world’s most expensive, comes in seven different colours, including classic racing green.

Staff at Factor Bikes are already working on their next generation bike, which is set to be launched at the end of the year.
The firm and bf1systems provide components for vehicles in Formula 1, Indycar, World Rally and Moto GP and has a client list including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Aston Martin and Maserati.
