  1. I'd make the parachute white instead of black, so it goes better with the text on the card.
  2. I've had a tony suit and a bev suit. I infinitely prefer the bev suit. It just feels better.
  3. murder is sickening, regardless of the name of the deity, if any.
  4. marriage and kids would be nice, but I try not to set my future plans too much in stone. I just hope wherever I end up, that I'm happy and have people around who I love and who love me back.
  5. depends on the game, but for the most part, you're probably right.
  6. quite true... but I think Shannon would know if she'd landed on her head, so I skipped listing the obvious.
  7. feverfew works as a decent preventative for some types of headaches. otherwise, you have to look at the cause. what kind of headache is it? is it in you temples? one side f your head or both? do your neck and/or shoulders hurt too? sharp, localized pain, or dull throb that's hard to pinpoint? does your jaw hurt? major causes of headaches: stress not eating or drinking enough eye strain (had your eyes checked recently?) jaw misalignment grinding teeth female hormone changes alcohol caffeine (too much, or withdrawl from) exhaustion brain tumor/meningitis/other shit you need to see a doctor for.
  8. my university had tons of debate. the school even actively encouraged debate, running forums on religion and other controversial issues. The school really didn't try to police anyone's viewpoint. They believed everyone had the right to hold their own viewpoint. They did, however, encourage everyone to listen to the other side of the issues with an open mind, and to make decisions knowing all the facts. The university never tried to censor conservative or liberal voices, but rather provided forums for each point of view to be heard, so students could decide for themselves. Samples of the student organizations on campus who participated in some of the forums: Christian life council Muslim Students Union Jewish Community Asian/Pacific Island Student Organization (and several other cultural clubs, African, Irish, Native American, French, Mexican, etc) Association for Gay and Lesbian Awareness Republican Students Union
  9. I've got a toshiba laptop (Tecra M2) and love it, but if you're doing video editing, buy a mac.
  10. every female I asked when I was looking for a jumpsuit every female I asked at Perris or Elsinore told me Bev's hot bod suit. That's what I got, and it's wonderful!
  11. add locks, and give management a key. Buy a really good quality deadbolt and replace the one you've got, and give management a key.
  12. ROFLMAO!!!!! reminds me of the time I ran virus scan on my dad's computer...
  13. {{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}
  14. Has anyone here ever taken a course ENTIRELY over the internet? Yes. I took Oceanography and Genetics through Fullerton College. Did you enjoy the format? Yes. Oceanography moreso, because the professor had high quality lectures. What problems did you have? A week with no internet connection because SBC f-ed up. Would you do it again? As long as the course was offered through a reputable university. If you take an online course, you have to have a lot of self discipline. the grades in my class were either very high, if you did the work, or very low if you didn't. there wasn't much in the middle. you have to commit to logging on every day, participating in online discussions, and posting on class message boards. Best of luck!
  15. I think one of the things that makes powell a popular choice for president is that he doesn't want the job. =)
  16. Me too. If he'd run, I'd probably have voted for him. I think he's got a much better grasp of international issues than Bush, and probably a better grasp of domestic issues as well.
  17. no... I think a moderately conservative female will be the first female president. Many conservatives would not vote for a female moderate or liberal, but would vote for a somewhat conservative female over a liberal male. Many liberals would vote for a somewhat conservative female, because they feel it's time for a female president, and would vote for a woman because it would open doors for liberal women later on. That said, I think we will have an ethnic minority male in office before we have a female of any ethnicity. People are more ready to vote for a minority male, such as Colin Powell, who would've won the 2000 election by a landslide, than they are for any female, liberal or conservative. People are simply more used to seeing males in positions of power, unfortunately.
  18. www.lacity.org city of los angeles personnel dept. names and phone numbers are on the site.
  19. sometimes you can have the harness adjusted to fit you, if the container is right for your canopies. talk to your rigger for advice.
  20. at 21 jumps, seriously think about buying used. you'll outgrow your newbie gear fairly quickly.
  21. I've seen a few skysurfers at Perris and Elsinore. I've always seen them exit first, but I think it's got more to do with logistics in the plane and more room for the board in the back of the plane than drift in the sky.
  22. the more familiar you get with the freefall environment, the more comfortable you'll be, and with more comfort comes more relaxation, and you'll have more of your brain to think about what you're doing rather than thinking about being scared...hey, at least you didn't chicken out and ride the plane down like I did!
  23. LOL! no that's a torte a tort is damage, injury, or a wrongful act done willfully, negligently, or in circumstances involving strict liability, but not involving breach of contract, for which a civil suit can be brought.
  24. he's not doing it for himself. he's doing it because Kerry can't, because he conceded because he didn't want to drag the US through another court battle. If Nader does it, nobody will really care until the results are in.
  25. the guy with the round glasses and striped shirt is WALDO. Elmo is the muppet.
