  3. Ahhh...probably a better place for it. I'm not really a huge fan of the post 9-11 reorganization, truth be told. That seems to be a good by-product though. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  4. Dude, I'm 99% sure that ATF is in DoJ. Now Secret Service is in DoT. Odd thing about those levels of management. It's not really that necessary to have a thorough knowledge of the subject area prior to taking charge. Sean O'Keefe is one of the best administrators NASA every had and he's a far cry from a rocket scientist. At those levels, it seems to me that the ability to grasp both political reality and reality itself in conjunction with the organization's stated purpose, assets, and infrastructure is far more important than experience in the department itself.

  8. Congrats UConn folk. Y'all bested my beloved Yellow Jackets last night fair and square. I wish I could say you had an unfair advantage because I drank the Jackets under the table the preceding night, but that's not the case. You all played a great game - and you owed us from earlier this year. Looking forward to next season already.

  9. yeah! What about me? You can toss a midget from 13,500 feet and above! Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  10. I read the Nag Hammadi translation. Isn't that whole find just fascinating?
  11. You're letting your dislike of the Bush administration blind you from Gawain's extremely salient point. Like it or not, separation of powers is an issue here. If the leftists whining about Rice would have mentioned that in their whining, they might have gotten more respect from conservatives. They haven't mentioned it conspicuously (if at all) because they don't really care about such points with regards to this commission - they care about smearing GWB in any manner possible. The real issue at stake here is the right of a sitting president to have a 'brain trust' which is not accountable to the legislative branch. I say that he/she does have that right and the country is the better for it. With regards to Dr. Rice's 60 Minutes interview, what exactly would you have her do? LIE and state that Mr. Clarke was telling the truth? Or tell the truth herself? Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  12. Quite interesting. Something along the same lines is why certain texts were omitted from the Bible as we know it. The greek Didache for instance. I also think some of the non-canonical gospels quite fascinating - such as the Gospel of St. Thomas. Beers to all, Vinny the Anvil
  13. Bonfire is great fun A successor to TalkBack Drink good beer and smile Georgia Tech will kick U-Conn's ass later tonite drink tequila then Vinny the Anvil Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  14. ...occurred this weekend. Rob Wooldridge and Ron Karun from Hollister chunked me out of a SkyVan here in sunny Florida then we drank a lot of beer. Skydivexxl only tossed me a few feet to get me up on the roof at H-town. Rob and Ron chunked me 13,500+ feet! Ha! You'll have to work on your midget tossing a bit if you want to reclaim the title Andy! I'll try and shed some pounds before my next trip out to H-town so I'll be easier to toss. Then again, you tossed me solo and they chunked me in unison, so I guess you're still a record holder in a sense.

    Sangiro is cool. Thanks for such a cool website dude! Vinny the Anvil Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  16. Money doesn't define success - happiness does. I waited about 7 years to go and get my master's degree. It was a mathematical proctological exam going back at first, but it was rewarding as hell to study again with a few added years of maturity thrown into the equation. I think you'll find it rewarding. Vinny the Anvil Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  17. Dudes - I thinking of jumping today and was wondering if anyone had any good 5 and 7 way dive flows. Those always seem to be two difficult group sizes to organize. Dancing Spider and Dancing Diamonds are two of my favorite five ways, but get old after a bit. Anybody got anything?

  18. Dude, you are so right. Hollister, CA was especially good at this - and still is unless things have changed drastically since my departure. THe people - not the view or aircraft - make the DZ. Vinny the Anvil
  19. TheAnvil packs for himself! Vinny the Anvil Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  20. I didn't sink too much in my meager 10 minutes, but I am a shorter anvil.... Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
  21. I pack for myself 99.9% of the time already. If the price increased I think it wouldn't affect me very at all.
  22. I love night jumps even though I ended up kicking a mountain's ass at the end of one last year. A few Anvil tips, some echoing what a few others have said. 1. Do at least one jump that day at the DZ. Look around on the way up and ask an experienced jumper there what lighted landmarks will be visible at night. Pick the ones out you'll be looking for in advance. 2. It IS a different environment. Do your first one solo even if the DZ might let the requirement slide. 3. Your S&TA should tell you this, but in case he/she doesn't: the shadow you see coming down next to you is your own parachute. Don't freak out and do a low turn and hurt yourself! 4. If you swoop on your first night jump, you're an f-ing idiot just WANTING to exit the gene pool. 5. Do it when the moon is full or damned close to it. 6. Pay extra special attention to the landing pattern and keep a sharp, sharp eye out for other canopies once you've opened. 7. Obey the pull altitudes set by the DZ for night jumps STRICTLY. 8. Most important, have fun. Night jumps rock. My US$0.02, for what it's worth. Vinny the Anvil Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!
