Apart from the fact that you can drink at 18 in the UK, you can also choose to give alcohol to your children in the home from the age of 5. Not sure if this is a good thing or bad (it's not like all our 5 year olds are pissed), but just interesting to note. I understand the reasoning behind not letting kids drink until 18 outside the home but teaching them about responsible drinking from an earlier age should, in theory if not practise, help.

Cabbage Soup Recipe 6 large green onions 2 green peppers 1 or 2 cans of tomatoes (diced or whole) 3 Carrots 1 Container (10 oz. or so) Mushrooms 1 bunch of celery half a head of cabbage 1 package Lipton soup mix 1 or 2 cubes of bouillon (optional) 1 48oz can V8 juice (optional) Season to taste with salt, pepper, parsley, curry, garlic powder, etc. Directions: Slice green onions, put in a pot and start to saute with cooking spray. Cut green pepper stem end off and cut in half, take the seeds and membrane out. Cut the green-pepper into bite size pieces and add to pot. Take the outer leafs layers off the cabbage, cut into bite size pieces, add to pot. Clean carrots, cut into bite size pieces, and add to pot. Slice mushrooms into thick slices, add to pot. If you would like a spicy soup, add a small amount of curry or cayenne pepper now. You can use beef or chicken bouillon cubes for seasonings. These have all the salt and flavors you will need. Use about 12 cups of water (or 8 cups and the V8 juice), cover and put heat on low. Let soup cook for a long time - two hours works well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Lucky your first student wasn't a bloke eh?! Here is one I posted in General Discussions - only done 5/6 camera jumps to date so don't have a huge amount to pick from. If you look then use the second link in the thread - for some reason i couldn't upload it here the size restriction is worse. Link to other thread CJP Gods don't kill people.

I used the lasso tool on photoshop where you click on a point and then the next all the way round. I then copied the layer and dropped it into the master picture of the sky. If the edges were then looking a little rough I used a background eraser to neaten them up. I then moved them around to where they were in the original shots. Pretty pleased.

right. I have had another go at this. Instead of just cutting a square round each shot and then piecing them together I have careful cut out each one around the body, lines & canopy and overlaid them on the final shot. It works much better and I am really pleased with it although it is fucking time consuming. The version I am uploading is a little blurry due to the size constraints. Not sure what the time is - I think about 2.5/3 a second. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Not sure why it isn't opening for some people... I am planning to do it again and actually just cut the jumper out - I rushed it a bit last night. I can then lay the jumper directly onto one background making it an easier shot. The shutter speed is pretty fast but he is already zoomed in a bit. As I said this is only my 5th stills jump... I will have another go tonight and post the results. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

I put together this set of stills from of a friends deployment sequence - reasonably pleased with it and thought I would share - bear in mind that I have only done about 6 stills jumps. I haven't quite got the transitions between the different pictures nailed yet but it is OK... Any comments? CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

I am not sure of the relevance/importance of point 2 - the local jumpers. This is often not practical and if someone came to me I would probably suggest they did a solo first and open higher than usual to check out the LZ from the air. Basically a first jump at a new Z is a bigger risk than usual and should be treated with the respect it deserves. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

Just a little geography lesson. Great Britain is not a country. It is three countries - England, Scotland & Wales. It is also the name of the large island that these three countries sit on. In case you are interested if you bung Great Britain and Northern Ireland together you get the UK. It still is a great country. CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people

I disagree with you on this. Whilst I despise everything about Mugabe and what he has done to Zimbabwe we should not use our nations sporting teams as political tools. Only when there are stringent sanctions against his country from your country should you then stop the teams going in. I was in Oz four years ago and they were discussing the very same in respect of the World Cup matches in Zim - there was outcry from some parts: The governments still deal with the country yet we force our sports team into some pointless gesture that will not acheive anything, in order to start some self congratulatory back slapping session. Bollocks. Declare war on him, impose further sanctions, cut off aid but don't get your cricket team to do you dirty work for you! CJP Gods don't kill people. People with Gods kill people
