That is definitely it! Minorities that don't tow the line are a big threat. I saw an interview (on Fox News-Special Report with Brit Hume) of Juan Williams (a regular panel member on Fox and National Public Radio Correspondent) where he described the attacks on him for his views which did not always agree with the liberal agenda. My respect for Juan Williams went way up. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Sunpath' preferred excess brake line stow method almost shows the mistake that you made (see attachment).

In my opinion, yes.

No jumps. I think class reunions are cool because of the brain cells/neurons that have been dormant for so long get stimulated into working again. It can really get your mind sort of swimming around. It made me contemplate the nature of how our memory works. Even though the reunion wasn't what you had hoped, I think you're probably better off for attending.

I don't understand what this statement proves by itself. Ted Turner is wealthy and seeks more, but do you claim he is not a left winger? I remember some of his statements sounding quite like a communist to me. You can be be a capitalist and a left winger at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive. You are calling a lot of people idiots. Bernard Goldberg, a self proclaimed liberal with 30 years experience at CBS news believes this myth. I could claim that anyone who doesn't believe in the left wing bias is an idiot, but I won't be so rude. A quote from the book: "Look Bernie, of course there's a liberal bias in the news. All the networks tilt left," CBS NEWS President Andrew Heyward is quoted as saying. "Come on, we all know it -- the whole damn world knows it... If you repeat any of this, I'll deny it."

Should I invest in any gear for my AFF training?>

I have heard about the testing that has shown that it is the pack job and not the deployment that wears out an F-111 reserve, but I would not consider an F-111 main to be worn out after 40 jumps, and that is with 40 repacks and deployments. So I just don't understand it unless perhaps it is the time spent packed or something else that is the real mechanism.

So this means it was subjected to a little over 4000 pounds. Was this a static load test, or an instrumented dynamic test? What is the static load requirement for the different versions of TSO specifications? I can't find the post where this was discussed before, but I thought about 4000 pounds was the typical static load applied.

A bigger (fat) person does have more drag due to their size, but the effect of the extra weight is more than the extra drag. An extra 20 lbs of beer belly can actually make you more streamlined, if that was where mother nature decides to put all your extra beer weight.

Old school skydiving still rocks

[grumpy old man voice]Back in my day, we didn't have audible altimeters with 3 alerts, or AEEAEEDEEs to open our reserves, or square reserves either, and we liked it.

I know of the DZ in Kansas that has a WL restriction, what other DZs also do this? At the time of the thread on the Kansas DZ, their web site had no info about their restriction.

One of my favorite scenes from The Life of Brian, where the Roman guard corrects the grammar/spelling of the graffiti Brian is writing on the wall.... http://www.mwscomp.com/movies/brian/brian-08.htm Romanes Eunt Domus -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [scary music] CENTURION: What's this, then? 'Romanes Eunt Domus'? 'People called Romanes they go the house'? BRIAN: It-- it says, 'Romans, go home'. CENTURION: No, it doesn't. What's Latin for 'Roman'? Come on! BRIAN: Aah! CENTURION: Come on! BRIAN: 'R-- Romanus'? CENTURION: Goes like...? BRIAN: 'Annus'? CENTURION: Vocative plural of 'annus' is...? BRIAN: Eh. 'Anni'? CENTURION: 'Romani'. 'Eunt'? What is 'eunt'? BRIAN: 'Go'. Let-- CENTURION: Conjugate the verb 'to go'. BRIAN: Uh. 'Ire'. Uh, 'eo'. 'Is'. 'It'. 'Imus'. 'Itis'. 'Eunt'. CENTURION: So 'eunt' is...? BRIAN: Ah, huh, third person plural, uh, present indicative. Uh, 'they go'. CENTURION: But 'Romans, go home' is an order, so you must use the...? BRIAN: The... imperative! CENTURION: Which is...? BRIAN: Umm! Oh. Oh. Um, 'i'. 'I'! CENTURION: How many Romans? BRIAN: Ah! 'I'-- Plural. Plural. 'Ite'. 'Ite'. CENTURION: 'Ite'. BRIAN: Ah. Eh. CENTURION: 'Domus'? BRIAN: Eh. CENTURION: Nominative? BRIAN: Oh. CENTURION: 'Go home'? This is motion towards. Isn't it, boy? BRIAN: Ah. Ah, dative, sir! Ahh! No, not dative! Not the dative, sir! No! Ah! Oh, the... accusative! Accusative! Ah! 'Domum', sir! 'Ad domum'! Ah! Oooh! Ah! CENTURION: Except that 'domus' takes the...? BRIAN: The locative, sir! CENTURION: Which is...?! BRIAN: 'Domum'. CENTURION: 'Domum'. BRIAN: Aaah! Ah. CENTURION: 'Um'. Understand? BRIAN: Yes, sir. CENTURION: Now, write it out a hundred times. BRIAN: Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Hail Caesar, sir. CENTURION: Hail Caesar. If it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off. BRIAN: Oh, thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Hail Caesar and everything, sir! Oh. Mmm! Finished! ROMAN SOLDIER STIG: Right. Now don't do it again. [CENTURIONS chase BRIAN] MAN: Hey! Bloody Romans.

Take a ferry to one of the islands, but I suggest not trying to drive your car on, just walk on because it can be a long wait to get on with your car. Even if you stay on the ferry and come right back, it is a nice trip. Take a tour of the Boeing - Everett factory, if you're an aviation enthusiast. Or at least visit the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field. It includes the old red barn where the Boeing Co. started. I was in the museum's skydiving display - pictures jumping into the Renton factory (thank you Rocky Kenoyer). Can anybody tell me if that display is still up? If you like beer, take a tour of the Rainier or Red Hook or Olympia brewery. Rainier may not be the best beer, but their party room is awesome (huge wood beam type of structure). Have fun!

I also could not find 'exactly' the Ace brand... My Ace hardware was a True Value hardware a few months ago, so that could be it (Snap Brand spray silicone). Thanks for posting the product #.
