Morten Andersen

New Orleans 1982-94; Atlanta 1995-2000, ’06-07; New York Giants 2001; Kansas City 2002-03; Minnesota 2004

6-time All-Pro, 7-time Pro Bowler

Career success rates: 79.6 percent FG (565 made), 98.8 percent PAT

2,544 career points in 382 games (25 seasons)

Pro Football Hall of Fame, Class of 2017

Andersen was the premier kicker throughout the 1980s. It was his longevity that made him a legend that kicked in three different decades. Second kicker elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Class 2017

Kicking a football is an exercise in ballistics. Right power at the right angle in the right direction are all mathematically calculable. The theory is solid. But Morten didn't get to be this good leaning the theory. He may not have even explored it until he became a professional.

He practiced allot! That made him a very good kicker but....it was his mistakes that made him great. Man a can read the stadium, the wind, the temperature the opposing lines ability and stature, his holder and long snappers timing and placement, the turf, his shoes, how he feels.......

Everything that holds influence over the theory and learned through practice and the experience of making mistakes. Yea, mistakes are good, invaluable...Soooooooooooooo

What's with the condemnation and ridicule of a person when they make one?

What made Mr. Anderson exceptional in greatness wasn't just the fact he could learn from his mistakes but that he didn't have to make it repeatedly to get the point. Man was a rapid study, quick learner and never let his pride get in the way of learning, improving, adapting. He just didn't hold on to things that no longer served his trade in spite of the experts.

Your mistake may have just been thinking you were mistaken. I’ve got a few tests from BS that reference the universal average in terms of OCI, not total unit miles.

I also took the excerpt in your post to mean after a 5500 mile OCI since the next thing they say is “try that next time”.

@Grumpy Bear really no one here cares about all the technical stuff.
It’s kinda like you’re posting just to feel good about posting.

Blackstone universal averages mean absolutely nothing statistically.
They are an internal set that Blackstone has accumulated, but they have no knowledge of the duration of the oil changes how the engines were maintained when filters were changed on and on and on add nauseam.

“Experts” comment, seems to my thinking is like your commentary about liars. Anything you don’t seem to understand or can make sense of you think they’re wrong.

This is a very common report to intellectualism or very educated people.
To dismiss them.
Really smart folks who are experts in a particular field may have worked in that field for literally three or four decades doesn’t mean they’re always right put to dismiss them seems foolish I think

I saw Kristy or Kristen make a comment about their insoluble‘s. Contain insoluble are only looking at pentanes. There’s a second deposit and I can’t remember what it’s called, but if the filter is capturing parts of that constituent and for her to dismiss your insoluble‘s being low without understanding that she’s not seeing everything just another sign that we don’t have good people doing things anymore whether it’s oil analysis flying airplanes, running railroad trains, what happened to all the expert people who were safe and really cared and cared more about their profession than being right or wrong they just didn’t wanna hurt anybody

Her comments are so misleading and frankly they’re like partially informed. I can see why you felt cheated.

The Peckish Synapse

The truth is a hard thing to find and why, I suppose, it intrigues me. Often confused with facts. Considered opinion by some. Rarely defended and often criticized. But truth, it has power.

Social Engineering. A search of this term gave:

[Quote]

Social engineering

Security

In the context of information security, social engineering is the use of psychological influence of people into performing actions or divulging confidential information. This differs from psychological manipulation in that it doesn't need to be controlling, negative or a one-way transaction. Manipulation involves a zero-sum game where one party wins and the other loses while social engineering can be win-win for both parties. A type of confidence trick for the purpose of information gathering, fraud, or system access, it differs from a traditional "con" in the sense that it is often one of the many steps in a more complex fraud scheme. Wikipedia [Close quote] :nonod:

Getting everyone who speaks your language to agree on the meanings of words, the letters in the alphabet, to structures of atoms, the numerical system and its......oh you get the idea and know well what social engineering is.

However, in that short list the 'common good' of every human is the result and the goal. Not all social engineering exercises are so noble. So universal. So pure.

I'd like to apply this to Nationalism, Politics, Religion, Ethnic Prejudice but we have a ban on those polar topics.

But we do have on polar topic that is not ban....OIL :crackup:

Kind of why it's my favorite. Well, and it benefits my equipment and myself to know the truth concerning it. It would also benefit all... Do we need to know it? No. We live without knowing how to read and write, figure numbers; but our experience is enhanced if we can.

Gen 3:1-5 reads: (Offered as facts being different from truth and facts not always being helpful)

[Quote NWT] Now the serpent was the most cautious of all the wild animals of the field that Jehovah God had made. So it said to the woman: “Did God really say that you must not eat from every tree of the garden?”

At this the woman said to the serpent: “We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden. But God has said about the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden: ‘You must not eat from it, no, you must not touch it; otherwise you will die.’”

At this the serpent said to the woman: “You certainly will not die. For God knows that in the very day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and bad.” [Close quote].

I bold the un-useful fact. He even tells them in what way! They would acquire the ability to 'know' good and bad. Not remotely close to the truth. They always had that ability. They were given an instruction and the ability to chose or 'know' good and bad. The difference wasn't in their God given ability to chose but in their right to chose.

How can that be said? Up to that point they had chosen to 'accept' Gods instructions and direction. Satan told them that if they chose to decide for themselves....yes....in that way they became like God.

And it did. They did become like God in that way. That wasn't the lie. The lie was that if they did so they wouldn't die. And they most certainly did. The fact that they took control away from God in deciding what was good or bad cost them their very lives. Which.....harmed the entire human race.....

Why would Satan do that? He coveted the worship humans gave to God. He promoted HIS way, made it seem to them as if it was THEIR way and deceived them from doing it GODS way.

And humans have been refining that process for thousands of years...... Marketing 101.

The important thing is, that even though this happened...it did not invalidate the TRUTH and remaining in the truth, on any topic, gives one freedom from everything and over anything but death. That's in God's wheelhouse.

Now....what it that? What is true?

Practical Application

Moving from the Garden of Eden to the Swap of the Sump.....

A quart of oil is, by volume, 70 to 90% base oil. 20 to 25% of that quart of multigrade is viscosity modifier. The sliver left over are support chemicals. That word SUPPORT somehow gets lost in the fray when oil is discussed. Base Oil does the lubricating, the additives support that charge in various and important ways but they are not the hook the duty of lubrication is hung on. The base oil is the most important part of the quart. Full stop.

So what is with all the additive hype? Short answer? $$$$. There is a popular You Tube channel that test oils whose tag line is "It is always all about the additives." He is popular but his is not a professional and has followed the flute of the Pied Piper's (professional marketing) out of town.

Oil has only one job. Wear prevention. Everything past that is a side benefit.

Anything with enough viscosity to maintain separation integrity will prevent wear. And any base oil with that value will perform that job. The question is then how much is enough? And that is the cue for the Pied Piper to show up and pitch, "Well....it's complicated". Not really. There's enough and there is not enough. Parts touch or they don't. It gets complicated when we start trying to 'find the edge' of enough. And that is where argument breaks out that has no place in the machines requirements. It's place is in the person who is promoting 'something other' need. Why are you trying to see how close you can stand to the edge before falling off and then accepting and promoting falling off some percent of the time as okay? Why? I know how the EPA benefits. I know how the OEM benefits. I even know how Big Oil benefits. But not the guys in the trenches. That part is baffling. People lining up at Jones Town with Kool-Aid glasses in hand.... :idiot:

Tell what is true

Matthew 11:18,19 Likewise, John came neither eating nor drinking but people say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of man (Jesus) did come eating and drinking, but people say, ‘Look! A man who is a glutton and is given to drinking wine, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' All the same, wisdom is proved righteous by its works.

And that is the real point of it, isn't it. "Wisdom" is proved "RIGHTeous" by it's results.

What are the results seen in Pepper, Daisy, Mouse, The HX and Raven? What was the wisdom? (700,000 combine miles)

What are the results seen in Dizzy? The Paseo? What was the wisdom? (600,000 combine miles)

Wasn't a religious comment was it? You're not the slow.

Bible was used as a REFERENCE work just like one uses SAE documents or a dictionary or encyclopedia as references to validate points.

Are you telling me you can quote Mechanics Illustrated or Better Homes and Gardens but the Bible off limits in a reference capacity? I can quote Herodotus but not Jesus? The Illinois State Penal Code on contract law in a Lemon Law Case but not the Bible on the same topic even though the state law is rooted in the Mosaic text? :crackup:

I'll accept the truth no matter where I find it.

See how you three have bonded. Isn't that sweet.

You're bible references, if that's what you want to call them is getting old to me.

I have a son who shares your attitude. Hates it when his mother counsels him from scripture. I tell him her faith isn't something she puts on like a dress. It's the air she breaths. Asking her not to is like asking a fish not to swim. Prejudice has a thousand faces.

Me? Stupid is getting get old. Vindictive is getting old. Liars are getting really old. Stupid is knowing better and going head long anyway. We both have issues with people. You going to fix mine for me? :wtf: I though not.

Here's a hot tip for you if I bug you. DON'T READ WHAT I RIGHT. Block me. Ignore me. Change the channel! How hard can that be? Or are you trying to SAVE the world from me? Really? Get a grip.
