  1. that's pretty tacky - I see your outrage that individual would get a serious note back from me if it was sent to me ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants
  2. same comment - I wouldn't put the money down until the whole thing is inspected. So it gets unpacked and repacked anyway by someone I know and I'll pay for it. Not a stranger. If they are a rigger, well, if I don't buy it, they will repack it for the next guy. ...

  3. but if you ask that TM, he'll likely say he's trying to give the student a really fun video for their money (his opinion) camera and TM have got to talk to each other so they can try to get that best shot for the customer's wall. I wonder how often, one or the other just asks the customer directly, "do want us to ham it up for your video and pics, or do you like "this" kind of picture (point at the wall shot) that's more normal." then note that it's not guaranteed, but they'll do their best to deliver it the video is great for the next few weeks for the customer. But what they really keep forever is that one 'perfect' still picture that they want on their wall. We had a friend in a mascot costume kind of in the background of a lot of tandem videos one weekend day - harmless and a lot of fun. But in two of them, it was staged for a jumper to get in there and beat on the 'mascot' in the background. One customer thought it was hilarious and loved it - the other one, it was hard to tell......each customer is different - it should be easiest to ask I'd think. ...

    John's a good guy, I'll send people his way. I'm still trying to convince Skimmer to just make a couple for us (once she has her pattern made, then I slyly have her add it to her offerings ..) see you this coming weekend ...

  6. Since it's a matter of faith - predicated on the requirement that there is no proof - then it should be a matter of choice only. No rationalization required. Anyone that tries to 'explain' it - IMO - doesn't really understand the concept of religious faith. In other words - I don't get why people on either side of the fence are trying to "prove" anything. Seems like a huge pissing match to me. Anyway - same old answer to the same old tired smug thread we've seen dozens of times a year. ...

  7. I try to just avoid the pissy discussions about "Who's fault was the mal" I think the person that pays is the one that had their butt saved. (that also includes if someone jumps on borrowed gear and they lose the freebag or even the main, he has to replace the equipment also). This is for sport jumps, not students or tandems (which should be handled by the DZ as normal business expense) ...

    Frank's look pretty overdesigned for the use, but at least he looks like he's trying to get there. He should do a search and find the ones that Velocity used to make with the permanent wieght in the lumbar shape in the back - with pockets on the side to add more. Simpler, but the end goal is similar. I don't thank anyone is making ones like those any more. They were about the best design out there for comfort. My wife was going to start trying to build a similar design, but we just don't make belts any more except for close friends. The cost of shot is just all over the place lately. other options to the OP - some rigs can also be ordered with weight pouch in the back pad... to no one in particular - the newer belts I've seen lately have been pretty disappointing, little reinforcement sewn in straps rather than straps that run the length of the belt,,,, the weights have actually come in plastic bags that are STAPLED shut. seriously? ...

  9. I'm pretty sure he considers this a stepping stone to a Fair tax concept - like the 4-40 plan....... seems a silly way to go about it that said - I resonated most with Paul and Cain in the last debate. A little with Mitt. (mainly because they consistently came back to individual and state's rights vs collectivism more than anyone else). Santorum was just a whiner. Newt is sharp, but seemed flat (VP or advisor would be his best role). I don't trust Perry more than I could throw him since he's a guy that demonstrates the time honored position of buying votes. Bachmann is just too bi-polar to ever take seriously. the whole "ball room brawl" thing - I didn't see, seemed pretty tame compared to what we know the final candidate will have to deal with. ...

  12. I have to disagree with you: 1 - she looks like she's doing it right. In fact, I wish I was that stuffed bear right now.

  15. I would suspect that would depend on what each of them holds important on whether this is critical to their mental state or not. I'd hope justice isn't driven to just provide closure to the victims. There's better reasons in terms of safety and security for people all over the world to have gone after Ghadaffi. ...

  19. actually, it's only $1T new income to the Treasury. apparently, Congress got wind of my post with one of the Patriot Act web digging algorithms...... Reid/Pelosi immediately contracted a foreign sculptor to build a statue of Obama for a bargain price of $1.2T for the children Edit: whoops, and the House also just passed spending against this proposed income stream of $1.5T for "family studies research" on the plus side - 1 - the Dem senate will be issuing a statement about identifying $1T in cost savings 2 - the Rep house will be issuing a statement about identifying $700M in cost cuts ...

  20. Maybe we could just tax the money they saved by not being taxed. It's essentially free income - reckless government spending. Let's see - $40K tax free at 40% is $16K so the $16K is unreported income and they should report that and pay taxes on it....... 40% of $16K = $6400 $6400 x (300M citizens + 50M illegal...sorry visiting permanent residents) = . . . $2,240,000,000,000 That's 2.2 Trillion Dollars Billvon for president ...

  21. Nah...just market it as "40K is free" I'm disgusted, Billvon's plan would have these uber rich not paying taxes on $40K of their nasty incomes made off of the corpses of the poor (especially handicapped, women, children, endangered animal species, vegetarians, and minorities). The government to should just give $40K/year to anyone making less than that (or at least make up the difference). Then we could all not pay taxes on the first $40K is it "FAIR" that someone that only makes $20/year to not being able to avoid taxes on the next $20K just because they don't make it? ...

  22. The under-40k is 56.6% of total filers, so he's pretty close on that already. That would be the ~22% mentioned above. Comes out about 25.5B over the total tax collected for 2009. nope - the "38.7-22 Plan" just doesn't make me FEEL good and clean - lacks marketing appeal doesn't really hurt those that make more than me either You've clearly not done any large chain pizza sales marketing before. "60-60 plan" how's that math out? edit: of course the end game is actually the "100%-$0" plan - then the government can just dole it out as they see fit or not for the children ...

  23. How about we make the rate 22% so it's the revenue-neutral solution you claimed? or, we just skip to the chase - we figure out the income level defining 50% of the lowest earners and make that the dividing line $xx,xxx anything over that gets taxed at a rate that is then revenue neutral - y% we'd end up there anyway, we are already there now the "x-y plan" at least it would be a lot simpler ...
