Hopefully the final episode of Breaking Bad will explain why Walt left the company that he started with Gretchen & Elliot Schwartz. I'm going to guess that they proposed something unethical to him that he became morally outraged about, but now ironically blames them for having ruined his life.

I always thought it was because him and gretchen were a couple then some how gretchen and elliot became a couple. I mean that would be awkward for me hah.

Reading up on it, that happened as a direct result of Walt leaving after a dinner party they had together. They've never explained what happened directly and I think it was on purpose. I think we'll get a nice, long flashback episode of Walt's decision to leave and possibly how he met Skylar. Would be cool to see their courtship and Walt's first interaction with Hank.

Would also be cool to find out that Schwartz are somehow worse than Walt and he ends up as kind of a hero to a degree. Would be a crazy twist for sure.

Anyone catch "The Blacklist" on NBC the other night? I DVR'd it and I'm already hooked as long as the next 2-3 episodes don't drop the ball. Super suspenseful and interesting.

I love AKIC! Just bought two sets of almost new WS-70s in both 17" and 18" for my WRX and the wife's GTI in the last week for great deals.
Thank you Akrexak and btn_turtle. Who needs craigslist.

Anyone ever replaced the idle air control valve gasket before to resolve weird idle issues? I've replaced spark plugs earlier this year and checked for any other know issues. When the WRX starts, turns over right off the bat, no trouble. Drops down to 100-50RPMs, then right back up to 500 solid. Everyone has been telling me just replace this gasket and should be good. Is it really just that? Anyone else had a similar issue/resolve? Just looking for a second opinion ( gasket is literately 7 bucks anyway, so, not really a biggie... )

Just read about this over on the Audi forums, which apparently originated back here.

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=1936851

Intersting... and apparently OLD news. Figured I'd share.

He funny. But he ain't $55 funny.

I'd give him tree-fiddy, not a penny more.

Anyone know a friend selling an S2K? Seems like all of them disappeared off CL in a week, lol. Looking for a RWD project car.

I got a C5 Corvette. Pretty much the best RWD project car you could ask for.

Got my first trainer with my birthday money. I've flown it a few times already and its a damn good time. Cant wait for my skills to be good enough for a gas powered.

There's not really a difference in skills required between gas and electric. The speeds can be the same for both depending on motor/prop combinations. It looks like that Cub only has elevator and rudder axis, so when you move up, you'll have to learn to use aileron for roll control and rudder for yaw correction, versus using rudder for roll like in 2 axis planes.

You want to stay electric or go gas? E-Flite is releasing a pretty awesome Super Cub soon.

I'm enjoying the cheap electronic flight as of now. I know there's more things to purchase if/when I do go gas.
I will also have to buy a better radio.
Thanks for the website as well.

Yeah, I'd go for a Spektrum 2.4 GHz transmitter if I were you. I have a DX6i, and it's pretty versatile, and will handle about 95% of the models (gas, electric, fixed wing, helicopters) you'll fly for the next 5 years (if you continue to progress in complexity).

Sure, also the guys at Anchorage House of Hobbies (Spenard and Northern Lights) love to talk shop any time.
