I thought it was, "Once a King, always a King, but once a Knight is enough?"

Quade is correct and yes she would become Queen (As will Camilla) I thought I heard somewhere that when Charles becomes King, Camilla won't be called Queen because of the whole Charles bangin' another woman (Camilla) while married to Dianna? Or is it Camilla isn't the Duchess of Wales or what not?

Just remind them that at some point they'll be much older, likely in a "managed care home", possibly peeing on themselves and it will be YOU that will decide if some $$ amout is worth it for them or just put them down... * runs *

Because its not about health care, its about redistribution of wealth.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/11/12/woman-goes-postal-postal-worker/?test=latestnews Video of Racial Tirade Against Postal Worker Only Part of Story, Police and USPS Say By Diane Macedo Published November 12, 2010 A video showing a Massachusetts woman assailing a mail carrier and calling him the N-word last year has gone viral -- and as it unravels, the story behind the video is attracting even more attention. In the video, shot in October 2009, 60-year-old Erika Winchester of Hingham, Mass. is shown cursing at 47-year-old mail carrier Hugson Jean of Roslindale, Mass, making racist remarks and at one point apparently hitting him after he refuses to give her back the piece of paper on which she signed for a certified piece of mail. Almost exactly a year later, Jean posted the video on YouTube saying he’d been fired for the incident and expressing outrage that the postal service never investigated it and the woman was never charged. But while the video and claims that accompanied it have triggered an outpouring of anger toward Winchester and the postal service, the USPS and the Hingham Police Department say the story is not what it seems. "When the officers went to the neighborhood and spoke to the letter carrier, he stated that he had been assaulted and that the female directed some racial slurs against him and that he had a video of it," Lt. Michael Peraino, public information office for Hingham Police Department told FoxNews.com. "So the officers talked to the woman, Erika Winchester, and she admitted that she called him some racial slurs, but denied hitting him." The video shows Winchester calling Jean the N-word and telling him "the white people" were going to kill him for not doing what she needed him to do and at one point apparently slapping him. Despite the partial admission and the evidence, Peraino says, Jean told police he didn’t want to press charges. After seeing the video, police charged her anyway with an assault and battery hate crime, but at her hearing on Nov. 24, 2009, Peraino says Jean’s attorney said Jean still did not want to press charges and that Jean would not testify in the case. The court decided instead to hold the case. "If Mrs. Winchester stayed out of trouble for that year the case would be disposed of," Peraino said. "So on Nov. 24, 2010, which is two weeks away, the case will be disposed of as we haven’t had any issues with Mrs. Winchester since then." But Peraino said he wasn’t surprised the Jean didn’t want to press charges against Winchester. The woman known around town for her outbursts reportedly was arrested in August 2005 after drunkenly crashing her Volvo into a street sign and subsequently trying to hit one of the paramedics that was treating her. She was arrested again in January 2007 after telling cast members at a community theater rehearsal they would "get it with a machine gun," then telling the cop that arrested her for trespassing that she would "chop off" his genitals, TheSmokingGun.com reported. Peraino said he couldn’t "go into any health issues" but did say Winchester was well-known around town for her outbursts and "has some issues," which likely triggered sympathy from Jean. "He knows her, and I think that’s why he didn’t want to press charges. I think he was showing some compassion for her," he said. Jean told the Hingham Journal that he was never notified about the hearing and that, while he did not want Winchester arrested, he did want her prosecuted. He also blamed his firing on the Postal Service not wanting "to get involved in this assault," saying it did no investigation and that his supervisors "laughed it off" when he showed them his cell phone video. Peraino says it was a postal supervisor that alerted him to the incident and that the postal service didn’t investigate because the police already were. "We talked with them and they were fine with the way we were handling it," he said. USPS spokeswoman Christine Dugas also couldn’t explain the timing of the video or the post that accompanied it. For starters, the video was posted only a month ago, but Dugas says Jean stopped working for the company a year ago. And she says Jean was hired as a temporary employee. "Transitional employees are hired with the knowledge that it’s not going to be a permanent position," Dugas said. But even temporary employees usually stay on for about a year, while Jean was only there from February to November 2009. Dugas said for legal reasons she couldn’t disclose why Jean only lasted nine months, other than to say, "Ask him if he would be willing to give you his disciplinary records." One thing she could confirm: "Let me assure you that the employee's job status has nothing whatsoever to do with the video." Jean said he came out with the video now because he got tired of waiting for a resolution to his termination case, which he says is currently under appeal. He told the Hingham Journal he hadn't found a new job since his termination but does not want any harm to come to Winchester. The paper reported that he would not disclose her identity at the time of the interview in an effort to protect her. Winchester told the Journal that Jean was as a nice man but she, too did not think the incident and his job loss were related. "I am sorry for him and his job – but that has nothing to do with me," she told the paper. "He dropped the charges against me. I did not have any charges against him."

Wearing sexy lingerie while ironing my dress shirts!

Because it should.

Yeah, I know what you mean... and gear prices since we started out in the sport are just &^%#$ ridiculous! So did you send her back to the mfgr for a look see or are you planning on doing that yourself? Again, I'd be worried about the harness stitching...

NSTIW... that's the crux of the matter, isn't it? How does one really test a harness for integrity / strength? I've heard more than one master rigger say there's really no way to "pull test" a harness to "proof" it. Now maybe that was more of in a different situation than this. I'd be interested to hear what the mfgr says, but I'd guess when you describe to them what you described here, they might tell you the container shouldn't be considered air-worthy to cover their ass. Curious, maybe you answered it, but I missed it, but if insurance has paid for it, why not just order a new rig, replace it and move on? Anyway, good to see you back. If I recall correctly, you did your first jumps at Cal City? I guess you could wash, rinse, repeat the container like JB suggested. Dry it, pack it up with a couple of suitable canopies and then strap it to a 300lb test dummy and toss it from an airplane a few times, but I'm not really sure what that would prove? Personally, I'd be worried about the harness stiching. My 2 cents... if it had been my rig, I'd be serioulsy bummed, say lots of bad words and replace it... but that's just me.

Realized that depending on one's perspective, yesterday could be thought of as a pretty shitty day for California... 1) Jerry Brown is governor... again... 2) Barbra Boxer is STILL in office... 3) Pot isn't legal.

Pussies, yes... would I call you a pussy... no. I've gotten out into -20deg F at altitude once. THAT was COLD!

Ditto! Thanks DSE.

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/10/29/welcome-future-tubeless-toilet-paper/?test=latestnews Welcome to the Future: Tubeless Toilet Paper By Loren Grush Published October 29, 2010 FoxNews.com Life is full of many frustrations, but none so great as getting that last piece of toilet paper off of the cardboard tube. Now the Kimberly-Clarke Corporation, the global producer of paper-based products, may have the solution that will rid people of their toilet paper struggles. Monday marks the launch of Kimberly-Clark’s new Scott Natural Tube-Free toilet paper. Just as the name asserts, the rolls come void of those pesky cardboard tubes while still being able to fit on the average toilet paper holder. Next week, the tubeless "TP" will be sold in roughly 200 Walmarts and Sam’s Clubs in the Northeast. Such an initiative ultimately raises the question: Why hasn’t this been done before? “The idea has been around for quite some time,” said Doug Daniels, brand manger for Scott brand. “The tube doesn’t really serve any consumer purpose. But we’ve had a breakthrough in our technology that’s finally allowed us to do this.” For now, the process of taking out the tube remains a mystery, as Kimberly-Clarke won’t reveal its ground-breaking technology. Daniels says they’re keeping tight-lipped, since they might use the process for future products. But more importantly, he maintains that no cardboard tube means every single piece of toilet paper will be usable, without those last few sheets getting stuck to the roll. And the benefits aren’t just in favor of the consumer. Kimberly-Clarke estimates that the U.S. alone disposes of 17 billion cardboard tubes from bathroom tissue, equating to 160 million pounds of waste. To put that into perspective, that’s roughly the weight of 250 Boeing 747s and enough tubes to circle the earth’s equator 40 times. Daniels says that this marriage of consumer and ecological advantages will pave the way for the success of the tubeless initiative. “We looked at those products that help us to preserve our environment, and we saw that consumers aren’t willing to trade off to go green,” asserted Daniels. “So that’s really the beauty of what we’re doing here. To the consumer, there are no compromises. They’re still getting a high-quality product, and the impact of their purchase is still significant to the environment.” And so far, Daniels says user feedback has been nothing but positive. “When you put it into people’s hands, it really puts a smile on their face,” joked Daniels. “People will seriously tell us, ‘I never thought I’d be this excited about a roll of bathroom tissue.’”

Can't wait until its over.

The part in the Skyline trailer where LA gets destroyed is kinda cool...

Yeah, like most people have ever seen what it really looks like when a bomb goes off...

Ah... sorry, missed that. Thanks. Well then, it ought to be pretty simple to figure out then... fuel left in the tanks, somethings fishy.

No word on what the guy's story was as to why he un-assed himself from the airplane? Engine failure? Fire? Wing fell off?? Bet the FAA and Insurance Company will be talking to him quite a bit.

Jr, When she's done, who gets to take it around the pattern for the fir... err... initial time? You or Emiko? Are you two going to flip a coin for it or play "rocks, paper, scissors"?

So is it supposed to be a sequel to Cloverfield or District 9?? ... the movie, not the chili. http://www.skylinechili.com/
