1 The more you grasp, the more perception of reality slips away from! Ground yourself in stillness of sitting practice again, start from square one once more again. Allow the the cloudiness of your thoughts, emotion and conceptual thoughts to precipitate into different sedimentational layers. Allow clarity of mind to emerge first. Everything is lumped together so is hard to tell where and how to start!     Start with non conceptional practice and start with the "awareness of" to ground yourself as a reference point. When you read of experiences, you won't be able relate if you have never fully experienced. Experiences that are related from different points of perception.They are not from same person, same experience path.   How do you relate an experience to one who have never experienced the same experience? Take something as ordinary as milk. Can you describe how taste of milk is to one who have never drunk milk before. Those who have drunk milk and know what milk is upon hearing "milk" will know what milk is without any verbalising whatsoever.   Is seeing the same as seen? Hearing the same as heard? Sensing same as felt? What is their relationship and why are they different? What is "I"?

2 Hi to All Forumers Uncle english is not that well written, plse rectifiend and shou xia liu qin.. Xie Xie Ni Men, Jack Neo, he can leave her ex wife when she is ill sick, she will be doing the same thing to Irene Kng her present wife if she also got the serious sickness. 100 percent lay my 1k if anyone dont believe uncle me. Why i say that, if a good hubby he should stayed and comfort the illness wife not just to leave her die and shout her in a hospital. This news media after reading it, i feel sorry to the ex-wife and i believe "bao ying". You all can share with your point of view, I am welcome all of your heart talk.. If i am the wife of Jack Neo, i can easily feel that since he is already so popular and cheeky man. A press for today paper is just only a acting to let audience and supporter know they are acting and what they have now is alot of money to spend the rest of their lives. Do you think they just want to say public apologise, like tiger woods did. Tiger woods is 100 percent much better off than Jack Neo. He is a horrible old man. Young and teenage girl also want to have sex affair. Disgrace to us as a Uncle. I will no longer supporting his movies at all. So, i hope all of you dont think of Jack Neo and pity him, he got more money than anyone else in the forums. He just want to act only like liang po po wu wu. Ni men shi da ben Dang woo... woo... The only person are those girls that either jilted by him or fear to admit the affairs. i can tell you more of the female and teenage girl is involved in his affairs. What can i say a cheeky man die also die as a cheeky man stage. Ben

1 lol. Janes also claim Singapore operates the longshot wingkit and a host of other things. In reality, it was flightglobal who first mentioned that LM was offering the AAS-42 (and that was back in 2001) as part of the tigereyes suite. Dear Weasel, I  also do think  that even highly reputable publications such as Janes ( & many other publications including FlightGlobal  ) do make some errors in reporting – occassionaly.  But  how do you know  what is reported in incorrect  ?    However, what I do question is the designation cos LM's offering does not appear to be designated. <a href="http://www.lockheedmartin.com/news/press_releases/2002/LockheedMartinWins163MillionOrderFo.html">http://www.lockheedmartin.com/news/press_releases/2002/LockheedMartinWins163MillionOrderFo.html</a> What LM does say is that "The (current) IRST system enhances the capabilities of the F-14D AN/AAS-42 IRST that had been operational aboard U.S. aircraft carriers and accumulated over 200,000 flight hours." Its a derivative, not static. But if you agree the AIM-120D is the same as the AIM-120A, then of course in the same basis, the IRST on the F-15 and F-18s must necessarily be the AAS-42 used on the F-14. More important is your claim that the pirate is supposed to be superior to the F-15 IRST. See what I mean , the reference above to AN/AAS-42 is from 2002. That is quite a long time ago. AN/AAS-42 was developed long before 2002. <a href="http://www.selex-sas.com/EN/Common/files/SELEX_Galileo/Products/PIRATE_dsh.pdf">http://www.selex-sas.com/EN/Common/files/SELEX_Galileo/Products/PIRATE_dsh.pdf</a> Even selex doesn't claim as such. This you have not addressed. They do not need to make such a claim.  Do you see any BMW  adverts to claim  that a BMW is superior to a Skoda  ? As to your claim that the meteor has 5 times the range of the AIM-120D, I won't even bother to address that except to highlight that if the missile exceeds 300km which it would have to in order to exceed the range by 5 times, then MTCR will kick in and its export barred.     I am seeing an increasing number of confused persons in this forum.     Again , I have to extend my deepest sympathies to your state of mind.    The MTCR was initiated  in response to the increasing proliferation of      weapons of mass destruction (WMD).     Or are you saying that Meteor is a WMD ???    I am  not making the claim that Meteor outranges AIM120 by a factor of 5            Janes is - See IDR Dec 2008 issue. You want to dispute Janes ? Please feel        free to do so as I do not have any objections.        Meteor out ranges AIM 120 by a very wide margin as is commonly       known. Various margins have been reported and they range from 3 to      5 ( as has been  reported in Janes ). So do you dispute that Meteor  is  not    vastly  superior in range to AIM 120 ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Equally important, IFF/target ID can't operate at that range. If one fires blind, neutral/civilian targets are at risk. Ever heard of  AWAC, NCTR, IFF, data links, EW , data fusion …………………?? FYI, the AIM-120D is actually the export competitor/equivalent. Raytheon originally competed on the acronym FMRAAM. The idea was to provide an ERAAM+ (today known as the C-5, C-7 appears to be the ++ version) as an interim before the -D was actually developed. The meteor won the competition in 2000 cos the assessment was that the raytheon FMRAAM program was high risk but the amraam (eraam+) was nevertheless procured cos the Eurofighter would enter service before the meteor. As to the AIM-120D being in low rate production, does not appear to be the case. It has replaced the C-7 production from lots 23 onwards and at my last count, 807 have been ordered for both navy and airforce. As to the AIM-120D being over-budget, link pls. My understanding is behind schedule, yes. Above cost, no. <a href="http://www.militaryindustrialcomplex.com/contract_detail.asp?contract_id=4655">http://www.militaryindustrialcomplex.com/contract_detail.asp?contract_id=4655</a> Weasel ,  your link just provided the additional proof that  AMRAAM is suffering from a cost & schedule overrun – see below for an extract from your link. It also shows that AMRAAM  is also experiencing development problems. “   The Phase IV AMRAAM SDD program is currently in a cost and schedule overrun. Continuing delays in resolving developmental hardware issues and less-than-expected effectiveness in flight test execution are the primary reasons for the SDD program being behind schedule. The current forecast date for the functional configuration audit is no 30 April 09, ten months later than planned with a contract completion date of 30 June 09. The schedule extension increased the contract cost by approximately 10 percent, which is available with the existing program budget.”       As to the rsaf receiving the AIM-120D, well, don't expect the rsaf to receive the meteor before all the european partners first either. You are right.  But  did I  say that RSAF will have priority  to receive Meteor even if it wanted to purchase it  ?  So when will AIM120 D be released for RSAF  use   ?  I did  not know the RSAF  will be receiving AIM 120 Ds - please show some proof.  There's a lot of hype surrounding the typhoon. Potential this, potential that but all is only potential. Sure, there could be even a potential stealth typhoon. You hit the nail exactly on the head.  I too believe that there cud be a potential for stealth Typhoon  - maybe call it Silent Typhoon – that will a great name you think     ?     Believe me , there is even more hype in the potential for 1970s  F15s.     Yet, what is clear is that the F-15 not only has the major capabilities, those are already existing capabilities without it being a "potential". My thoughts exactly, thanks.  But please don’t forget to delete the Typhoon -like BVR  capabilities as there is no possiblity of this happening for the F15.    F-15SE already incorporates stealth. The SG can be upgraded to the SE standard. The -SG can fire all the current munitions and will be equipped with those in development eg JDRADM/NCADE/MALD etc will similarly equip it. That is not a guarantee for the typhoon/rafale and even if it could, would be later. In life there are no guarantees. What I can guarantee though is that at the moment there is no US equivalent to Meteor - not even on the drawing board -  unless it is a black project of course.   There are degrees of stealth.  Applying some radar absorbent paint will definitely make an aircraft  - any aircraft -  more stealthy -  1 % better ?   Sure, the possibility that Matra may one day develop a 10000km ranged A2A ICBM with 100% accuracy that will be capable of being fired from the typhoon cannot be discounted in the future. The eurofighter consortium may even develop a stealth paint that makes the eurofighter invisible to radar, IR and every single medium. But that is only hot air at the moment. Acquisition decisions cannot be based on hot air. An ICBM  is  not an AAM   -  see what I mean when I said earlier that you are confused.  From  the time you wrote the first line to the last line of  your reply , your mental condition has deteriorated faster than a speeding Meteor.   You know,  a paint to make a plane  invisible may not be in the realm of science fiction after all.    I hope  that  you are right and that Eurofighter  comes out with this paint in the future. Maybe it can then be applied to the F 15  so that it has a chance to match Typhoon’s capabilities in the far away future.           -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

lol. Janes also claim Singapore operates the longshot wingkit and a host of other things. In reality, it was flightglobal who first mentioned that LM was offering the AAS-42 (and that was back in 2001) as part of the tigereyes suite. Dear Weasel, I  also do think  that even highly reputable publications such as Janes ( & many other publications including FlightGlobal  ) do make some errors in reporting – occassionaly.  But  how do you know  what is reported in incorrect  ?    However, what I do question is the designation cos LM's offering does not appear to be designated. <a href= "http://www.lockheedmartin.com/news/press_releases/2002/LockheedMartinWins163MillionOrderFo.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.lockheedmartin.com/news/press_releases/2002/LockheedMartinWins163MillionOrderFo.html</a> What LM does say is that "The (current) IRST system enhances the capabilities of the F-14D AN/AAS-42 IRST that had been operational aboard U.S. aircraft carriers and accumulated over 200,000 flight hours." Its a derivative, not static. But if you agree the AIM-120D is the same as the AIM-120A, then of course in the same basis, the IRST on the F-15 and F-18s must necessarily be the AAS-42 used on the F-14. More important is your claim that the pirate is supposed to be superior to the F-15 IRST. See what I mean , the reference above to AN/AAS-42 is from 2002. That is quite a long time ago. AN/AAS-42 was developed long before 2002. <a href= "http://www.selex-sas.com/EN/Common/files/SELEX_Galileo/Products/PIRATE_dsh.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.selex-sas.com/EN/Common/files/SELEX_Galileo/Products/PIRATE_dsh.pdf</a> Even selex doesn't claim as such. This you have not addressed. They do not need to make such a claim.  Do you see any BMW  adverts to claim  that a BMW is superior to a Skoda  ? As to your claim that the meteor has 5 times the range of the AIM-120D, I won't even bother to address that except to highlight that if the missile exceeds 300km which it would have to in order to exceed the range by 5 times, then MTCR will kick in and its export barred.     I am seeing an increasing number of confused persons in this forum.     Again , I have to extend my deepest sympathies to your state of mind.    The MTCR was initiated  in response to the increasing proliferation of      weapons of mass destruction (WMD).     Or are you saying that Meteor is a WMD ???    I am  not making the claim that Meteor outranges AIM120 by a factor of 5            Janes is - See IDR Dec 2008 issue. You want to dispute Janes ? Please feel        free to do so as I do not have any objections.        Meteor out ranges AIM 120 by a very wide margin as is commonly       known. Various margins have been reported and they range from 3 to      5 ( as has been  reported in Janes ). So do you dispute that Meteor  is  not    vastly  superior in range to AIM 120 ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Equally important, IFF/target ID can't operate at that range. If one fires blind, neutral/civilian targets are at risk. Ever heard of  AWAC, NCTR, IFF, data links, EW , data fusion …………………?? FYI, the AIM-120D is actually the export competitor/equivalent. Raytheon originally competed on the acronym FMRAAM. The idea was to provide an ERAAM+ (today known as the C-5, C-7 appears to be the ++ version) as an interim before the -D was actually developed. The meteor won the competition in 2000 cos the assessment was that the raytheon FMRAAM program was high risk but the amraam (eraam+) was nevertheless procured cos the Eurofighter would enter service before the meteor. As to the AIM-120D being in low rate production, does not appear to be the case. It has replaced the C-7 production from lots 23 onwards and at my last count, 807 have been ordered for both navy and airforce. As to the AIM-120D being over-budget, link pls. My understanding is behind schedule, yes. Above cost, no. <a href= "http://www.militaryindustrialcomplex.com/contract_detail.asp?contract_id=4655" rel="nofollow">http://www.militaryindustrialcomplex.com/contract_detail.asp?contract_id=4655</a> Weasel ,  your link just provided the additional proof that  AMRAAM is suffering from a cost & schedule overrun – see below for an extract from your link. It also shows that AMRAAM  is also experiencing development problems. “   The Phase IV AMRAAM SDD program is currently in a cost and schedule overrun. Continuing delays in resolving developmental hardware issues and less-than-expected effectiveness in flight test execution are the primary reasons for the SDD program being behind schedule. The current forecast date for the functional configuration audit is no 30 April 09, ten months later than planned with a contract completion date of 30 June 09. The schedule extension increased the contract cost by approximately 10 percent, which is available with the existing program budget.”       As to the rsaf receiving the AIM-120D, well, don't expect the rsaf to receive the meteor before all the european partners first either.
