„He kept shifting under the weight of his 40 pound vest and gear. The image of his captain haggling over the price of DVD players they were buying there. The Virginia soldier watching the door, blocking the back half of the store. He holds his gun across his chest, with his finger near the trigger.“

„The children rushed out with giant buckets and old containers to hold the water as the truck stopped in front of their house. Some containers were little, old oil jugs and some were giant plastic trashcans. Most children remembered how the water buffalo worked, so once the truck stopped they were quickly filling their jugs with the fresh water.“http://www.thepatriette.com/archives/ cat_hooah.html - Cached - Similar Pages
„No trees, no bushes and, most important, no Iraqis. I pushed forward the radio switch on the right side of my combat vehicle crew helmet and talked to my second-in-command, located in the radio track about 3 kilometers behind me. "Black Five this is Black Six...tell our superiors that Area CLAW is free of enemy.“http://www.gulfweb.org/tracings/friesen.html - Cached - Similar Pages
„With the old order overthrown, the Baath Partyauthorities purged, and the ministries stripped bare by looters, mostIraqis don’t know where to take their grievances and petitions, whereto unload the burden of their personal histories. So, like supplicantsto the Caliph of ancient Baghdad, they bring them directly to the frontgate of the occupation. But few Iraqis have the credentials to enterthe Green Zone, and there are few, if any, interpreters at the gate.The Iraqis stand on one side of coils of concertina wire, gesturing andtrying to explain why they must get in; on the other side standAmerican soldiers in body armor, doing twelve-hour shifts of checkpointduty, keeping them out.“http://laniels.org/cache/packer_in_iraq.html - Cached - Similar Pages
„The most important feature of a BC is its lift capacity. The BC should have enough lift to hold not only the diver on the surface, but his cylinder, weights and regulator as well! A good rule of thumb is the amount of lift should be at least twice the amount of weight you would ever carry. For instance, a diver needs 22 pounds of lead to sink. This diver should have a BC with a minimum of 44 pounds of lift! Without the proper amount of lift, this diver would have to tread water and struggle at the surface!“http://www.scubasciences.com/ buoyancy_control.htm - Cached - Similar Pages
„To set the stage, I described the parachute’s purpose: tolower a weight, that is, a person or a cargo, slowly and safely from a placein the sky to a place on the ground. In time of war, the one-way trip downmight be air crews who were forced to abandon their airplanes because thecraft could no longer remain airborne. During World War II, hundreds of thousandsof airborne soldiers parachuted from transport aircraft with their weaponsas part of military operations.“http://www.geocities.com/oralbio/ moldevenmbio.html - Cached - Similar Pages
„The UC Berkeley engineers are also developing a quieter, more powerful engine, and a faster, more intelligent controller, that will enable the exoskeleton to carry loads up to 120 pounds within the next six months. In addition, the researchers are studying what it takes to enable pilots to run and jump with the exoskeleton legs.“http://www.futurepundit.com/archives/ cat_cyborg_tech.html - Cached - Similar Pages
„Visible meteor activity was minimal right up to 5:30, when it exploded for about 5 minutes. I was seeing 8-10 meteors a minute, with a couple each minute that were large enough to show fairly impressive trails for a few seconds. That lasted 4 or 5 minutes and then is slowed dramatically.“http://www.odonnellweb.com/mtarchives/ cat_family_life.html - Cached - Similar Pages
„Every now and again some punter stops to talk, the window opens, there's a bit of haggling and then they disappear very rapidly inside. Unlike normal theatre, here when the curtain closes the performance begins. It's a sobering to think that behind every closed curtain there lies...“http://diamondgeezer.blogspot.com/ 2003_04_01_diamondgeezer_archive.html - Cached - Similar Pages
