Surprised R.I.P.

And he got banned because of this? I thought twice about wearing my Muff bro T-shirt at the local DZ Every DZ adopts the personality of the DZO. Different strokes for different folks. I did name my Bitch after the DZO and never got into to much trouble. R.I.P.

Damn Do you notice guys dropping things a lot and bending over to pick them up when their around you.

Jim cosby did a routine on Johnny Carson or something ir was built around rather than poke fun at any specific group he just used the generic term. "Ethnic minority" . The concept was very funny and pre PC. R.I.P.

I think their a update of a 1940 or 50's model. I'm not that old really Trust me R.I.P.

Know anyone who's been divorced DZ's are no different. R.I.P.

It's part of the benifit of dealing with a third generation skydiver For some reason in spite of growing up around skydivers and their little quirks the second and third generation jumpers turn out better than most people. Don't worry kelly I'm not after your body If you were a rat i'd say it. Takes one to know one. R.I.P.

AD Me thinks you back must still be hurting from florida and your looking for some relief. Have you considered a PU with a shell over the bed (cots)and a utility trailer for hauling the bikes and other stuff. In some states the annual property taxs on a travel trailer can be pricey. and you got that big box sitting out in the weather year round. we've seen some popup trailers that can be very nice with bathrooms kitchens etc & have a hard top so water leaks aren't a problem but if your towing the pop up (minimum wind resistence

what's gay about it ??? if you do a search for th eFrench Rugby Team Calendar (Les dieux du stade), that's really very gaystethic... i'm quite by the reflections that have been posted till now... not asking for hurras and compliments on our greek statue looks, but some positive attitude.... What do you expect from a bunch of guy's that like looking, and talking about naked women. can you imagine these people at a beach/park in europe. In their world looking at almost naked men means their gay if their not offended. it's a american thing. Nothing personnel. IMO some people are just homophobic. Got any pictures of good lookin sheep

Nope ... I'm afraid that Tracker is a total loss. 1994 w/ 64K mi., ... it's a shame 'cause the wheels and tires are still good Protec still looks good R.I.P. ***********************************

September caught my eye until i realized it was a guitar strap

Thanks for the historical objective facts. the facts speak for themselves. If anyone doesn't understand what hapened then there's no point in doing the circle thing. R.I.P.

QuoteI appreciate what you've said as well as the correction. It's sad, when things like this happen. It's shocking to a lot of folks. It seems to strike hard, especially when children are involved. It is rather obvious that she can not 'fit' in everyday society. I really don't believe prison would be the right thing for her. A place where she can get proper help, might. That's for the courts to decide. The courts did decide once, based on incorrect testimony by the prosecuter's one expert witness vs the defense's 5 expert witness's. The courts can't decide the merits of the case based on objective evidence, but had to rely on a paid Medical expert who was confused. R.i.P.

Wisconsin soldiers' flight home becomes perilous journey Enemy fire strikes plane, knocking out engine Me thinks this is more real world C-130 stuff in the Sand Box. Just pros doing their job. By MEG JONES mjones@journalsentinel.com Posted: Dec. 28, 2004 It sounded like a thud. Maybe a bird had flown into the C-130 as it took off from an airfield in northern Iraq. Or so the flight crew thought. But then lights and instruments in the cockpit began to blink and sound. One of the flashing instruments alerted the crew to a fire in an engine. A crew member looked out a window to see one of the engines engulfed in flames. This was more than a bird. What happened in the next 10 minutes is something the crew from Milwaukee will probably talk about for a long time. The six-man flight crew from the Air Force Reserve 440th Airlift Wing based at Mitchell International Airport had just picked up a group of 57 soldiers heading for home at the end of their tour of duty. The crew is part of a group of 180 people deployed from the 440th that rotates in and out of the Southwest Asia Central Command area of operations. Shortly after the C-130 took off, the plane was hit by enemy ground fire that punched a large hole in one of the engines and severed fuel lines. "I noticed a lot of fire coming out of the No. 1 engine - the motor pretty much exploded," said Master Sgt. James Grigsby, 41, of Brodhead. Tense moments Grigsby and the other flight crew members spoke in a phone interview Tuesday from southwest Asia about the harrowing plane ride that happened several weeks ago. The 440th is one of five air wings in the 386th Air Expeditionary Wing. The pilot, Maj. Rolf Breen, looked at all the cockpit lights and indicators and immediately noticed two of them - the fire light and the one indicating turbines were overloaded. The No. 1 engine was shut down. That left three engines still working. Normally that would be OK. A button was pushed that drained a fire extinguisher inside the engine compartment, a chemical designed to deprive the fire of oxygen. It didn't work. A second extinguisher was drained. Same result. "On a normal engine fire, one of them would work great," said flight engineer Staff Sgt. Dan Hayes, 29, of Fort Atkinson. "But this wasn't a usual engine fire." The huge holes in the engine were feeding the fire plenty of oxygen, so the fire extinguishers were no help. Meanwhile, crew members were telling the soldier passengers what was happening, looking for airfields to land, notifying ground control, checking for other damage and trying to extinguish the fire. "I think I was the only one on the crew who felt like time was going very fast," said co-pilot Capt. Jason Schroeder, 32, a former pilot for United Airlines who lives in Milwaukee. "I didn't really have time to get scared or anything." They considered heading back to the airfield they had just left but were worried about additional enemy fire. As the fire continued to burn out of control, the crew had much more pressing problems because of the fear the fire would burn right through a wing. Rocky landing The C-130 was turned toward a small airfield that had been used by the Iraqi air force. But the pock-marked runway was still heavily damaged from the war. Crews were on the tarmac repairing the runway when they looked up to see a smoking C-130 approaching. The engine fire burned itself out a few minutes before the plane landed, and Breen managed to set down the C-130 on the half of the runway that wasn't damaged or strewn with construction equipment. "I said quite a few Hail Marys and a few Our Fathers. I didn't have time to get through a whole rosary," said Breen, 36, of Grafton, who was a pilot for Delta before he was deployed. Tech Sgt. Robert Sczesny, one of the two load masters aboard, told the soldiers what to expect in case the crew had to set down the plane in the desert. Once the plane landed, Sczesny and Grigsby made sure the soldiers got off safely. "We got them off the plane in less than a minute, which is pretty fast for 57 soldiers. They made a beeline off the plane because the engine was still smoking," said Sczesny, 40, a Milwaukee firefighter. "They were all standing at attention and they began to applaud as we got off, which was really nice," Sczesny said. "They had just spent a year there, so they were going out for good. It's another story for them" to talk about. The soldiers and the 440th flight crew waited four hours before getting on another flight to their destination. Within hours, the 440th assembled a maintenance team of eight people who were flown to the airfield along with their tools, parts and equipment. The maintenance crew quickly removed the damaged engine and repaired shrapnel holes in the wing, the props in the No. 2 engine and tail. But first they gaped. "We were amazed at the damage and amazed at what could have happened," said Tech Sgt. Richard Bobber, 38, of Milwaukee. "It could have taken out a wing if you were looking at it from the luck standpoint." Holding his arms out as big as a bushel basket, Bobber described in an interview at the 440th headquarters Tuesday the size of one of the holes in the engine. As the maintenance crew worked on the plane, they came under fire from a mortar attack but were not injured. They had the aircraft fixed - with a new No. 1 engine - and ready to fly in 24 hours. The flight crew went back into the normal rotation, and their next flight was four days later. "They sent us right back to the airfield where this happened. We all were a little nervous and had some choice words for the command," Sczesny said. "Alcohol is not allowed here, so we pretty much said our prayers."

RPG R.I.P.

Ditto

She is a danger. You said that counsiling and medication MIGHT help. She has killed 5 of her own children. She is insane, she should never be free again. Her walking the streets is a risk we are putting on society as a whole. The cost of being wrong is she kills another. She is already an ACE. I agree with Ron Meds only can only work for people take them and even then not for everyone. Counseling is only as good as the counselor and the patients ability to be receptitive to treatment The women had a safety net, her husband who The question as I see it is what do we do with the mentally ill in this country treat them as criminals, wharehouse them with criminals or treat them in a more human way. Yes she did the deed and can do it againduring way back in the day the mentally ill were thrown in a dungeon and treated like animals. Thats where we 're headed or already there. How do the europeons treat their mentally ill/criminally insane? R.I.P.

If indeed PK knows who did it, and is contemplating legal proceedings, then posting on dz.com could be counter productive to his case. If he is not 100% sure who it is, why pointing a finger at someone that could be innocent? I sure hope it gets resolved FAST! My 2 cents... IMO don't matter if PK catch's "the" rat. There will always be another one to take it's place. Sorry R.i.P.

Hi guy Talk to the recruiter's of the military services about your goals and questions. Their real nice folks and will try and give you all the info you need includeing colored pictures,shiny literature, posters, maybe even a DVD or VHS tape and some decals.

Hi storm 1977 this is a forum on the internet. this isn't like having a concersation in your living room. Don't want to get over it, can't get over I don't have a problem with that. Notice the angelic symbol, ""I find rude, disrespectful and typical of many of the people on this forum, telling me to get over it!!!! "" Well there's a simple solution to that. Your able to stop it anytime you want to. Have a nice day R.i.P.

From what I've "heard" on CNN A new trial is "under consideration". IOW if the women is not functional she can't even particapate win her defense. What the point of sending her to prison she's already a prisoner of her mental illness. People can understand when they see a person with a physical disability, but when a person is totally loony tunes some people don't want to take that into consideration. Weused to have a system of "mental institutions" but for vairous reasons they've been closed. Now we send the mentally ill to prision. IMO a step backwards for the treatment of the truely mentally ill. I agree that the womens husbandand Dr's droped the ball but they seem to be falling between the cracks. The "expert" witness Whats their excuse IMO Need to find a better way to solve these problems before the the damage is done. R.I.P.
