I'd look around, and see what I saw, use the saw to saw the table in half. Two halves make a whole -- I'd leave the w behind and climb out the hole.

This is a crime in which the death penalty might actually affect future behavior of others...

Washington Redskins. Needs to change their team name?

When I was a kid, the Atlanta ball team was the Atlanta Crackers. Until the Milwaukee Braves moved south for better weather in the mid-60's. -

That's just "don't shit where you eat." Not the same as collusion to "stabilize" the employee loyalty.

You might not want to do that if you have cancer.

More likely driver is the Ukraine situation. I'm thinking about going from 97% stocks/3% cash to the opposite, even though cash is always a long term loser against inflation and taxes.

Sounds like criminal tax evasion. Was it? Not at all. We had a mountain community in Taos, NM with a pretty good barter and trade system. There were also 3 active communes in the area at the time. Barter is taxable.

I think the rental car companies would take cash, but you still have to present a valid CC. Maybe the DZ has had problems with counter help ripping off the cash.

Need a pilot with jump plane in WY this weekend
headoverheels replied to Briharp9's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Will he have a parachute? -
Still, I think folks would notice an extra 5 degrees F, should that come to be. Where I live, it will make my swimming pool more usable. OTOH, I've already bought ski passes for the coming season, so I hope we don't have another crap ski season in northern California.

Just like Jethro Bodine, when he was on his 007 kick.

Does white "pee" count?

If you are donating more than 1.5 to 2 times per year, I recommend that you have your ferritin level checked. I was donating 4x per year, then failed the hemoglobin test they do when you donate. Got my ferritin level checked, and it was down to 4, with 18 being a normal minimum, and 50+ being a better level. Iron taken with vitamin C, at least 2 hrs before/after calcium/tea/coffee/dairy, got me back to normal within 6 weeks. It took 9 months of supplements to get me up to a good level. Now, when I donate (no more than 2x per year), I take iron for 5 weeks following, to replace ~250mg in a unit of blood. You only absorb ~15% of supplements, and ferrous sulphate is only 20% iron, so you need to take about (1/0.15) x (1/0.2) x 250mg = 8.33g of ferrous sulphate, which is 26 tablets of 325mg each, or get extra iron from diet. Vitamin C (tablet or 8oz orange juice) greatly improves absorption, and calcium/tea/coffee within 2 hours interferes. BTW, vegetable sources of iron (e.g.spinach) are not absorbed as well unless consumed along with blood (meat) sources. Ferritin is where iron is stored until needed. As long as you are close to normal, your hemoglobin will not drop. When you get down to 4, your red blood cells will vary in size more. They will, on average, be smaller and contain less hemoglobin per cell, and your total hemoglobin will be low. Below 50 or 60, and you are more likely to be losing hair if you are female. An exception to the above is if you are 1 in 200 that genetically tend to accumulate iron to an unhealthy level (hemochromatosis ), in which frequent blood letting may be required to keep your ferritin level under 300, and forget the supplements/beef/etc. I never hesitated to go skydive soon after donating blood, but I would suggest Monday rather than Friday if you are jumping on Saturday, or a week when you aren't jumping (should be plenty of those with weather there).

Anyone been to Bonaire for scuba diving?
headoverheels replied to npgraphicdesign's topic in The Bonfire
Yes, been there 3 times. Nice easy diving, would be a great place to learn. You should give strong consideration to getting your rating before going -- would probably be cheaper, and you could get right into the fun stuff. Another option is to do a referral rating, where you do the bookwork and pool dives at home, then just do the open water dives when you get there. That will get you done with your rating in two days, leaving more days for more interesting diving. OTOH, if you are going for two weeks, rather than one, not such a need to learn ahead of time. If you haven't already, check out the Bonaire forum on Scubaboard.com. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/bonaire/ Another useful site is bonairetalk.com I don't have much suggestion as to who to use for lessons there. Not that much to do in Bonaire other than diving. -
45 for me. Maybe a Katana should be a high-aspect ratio rather than just an elliptical. If so, higher score. Been out from jumping for 18 months with shoulder issues/surgery/still bad.

No valid choice for me for hop-n-pops above 5000 feet. Never done one for my last two canopies.
