  1. My understanding is that wash-ins are best for 3 ply membranes. Anything with a wicking layer should be refreshed with a spray on. I would guess that spray on would be better for down as well.

     

    Membranes won't breathe if the surface wets out so the DWR has to be working for breatheability.

  2. Antiques? Huh? The Blue Angels are F/A 18 strike fighters. This model of fighter is in active service and sees combat today.

    I stand corrected. I still don't think they are an image of war.
  3. I don't really see the connection between the Blue Angel's and US foreign policy. It sounds like a "Shock and Awe" argument to me and that was shown to be an ungrounded theory.

     

    I've never lived in a war torn area but it seems to me that modern bombers are pretty much silent. Even the fighters and air-to-ground aircraft are designed to be pretty quiet until they break the sound barrier. Maybe those who lived in war in the 70's would feel some resentment toward the sound of jets but that would reflect on past foreign policy not current.

     

    The Blue Angel's are more of a picture of the past than the present. They are practically antiques. In Halifax they blast a cannon every day at noon on Citadel Hill. It used to make me jump but it didn't evoke images of war.

  4. I think it's an extension of Pavlov conditioning without much basis in reality. If the monkeys can figure out that they will get sprayed they can also figure out that they won't.

  5. The Vancouver Critical Mass goes against the original intent IMO. I'm all for improving the city cycling experience but pissing off motorists is counterproductive.

     

    From the Critical Mass site:

    CM is intended to be a celebration, not an opportunity to cause trouble. Those who want to try to tie up traffic as much as possible and be confrontational with motorists are missing the point. We can assert our right to the road without being rude about it. Focus on the ride, not on the cars that also happen to be on the road.
