That's the best they could come up with eh?

I would advise the woman to run away. Any man who would allow his mother to get between him and his OTL has not yet grown up.

The otter has arrived from Texas for the summer and we are jumping starting tonight. No more flying to the states to jump out of a real plane. Come on out and jump.

I agree... Michel has tries a few times but never seems to get off the ground. As I recall Richard Bransen, Steve Fosset and the brothers Rutan have a lengthy list of spectacular failures to their credit to go beside their triumphs. If he makes it no one will remember the false starts. Good luck to him. Besides, it's gotta be good for the Battlefords' economies.

Relocating seatbelts is not a simple fix. It requires government approval.

Well rapeseed (canola) is used as food quite extensively. More significantly, rapeseed is a soil raping product that is usually produced with the aid of very intensive chemical help. Around here anyone growing rapeseed more than one out of four years needs at least one if not two years of pasture in the cycle; rape to grain to rape won't do it. The price to total food production is perhaps larger than it appears at first glance.

Much of the increase in the murder rate in Vancouver has been linked to the war in Mexico. I'd say it is not just limited to the border.

In Canada once you have a SOLO certificate (10 jump minimum) you can do one on one coach jumps. You must do a minimum of five to obtain your A license. With an A license (25 jump min) you may do one on one jumps with someone who has a B license and approval from the DZO/CI. You must complete a minimum of 10 2-ways between your A and B license, three of which must be with a coach. With a B license (50 jump min) you may jump with any number of people. The criteria to pass the coach jumps, among other things, is "achieve horizontal separation" for the A, and "demonstrate ability to track" for the B. Just how exacting the distinction is is left up to the coach.

Gotta feel sorry for the Sharks fans. You just know they are going to disappoint.

Fastest to slowest: 1. nylon 2. spandex 3. poli-cotton 4. cotton The spandex keeps the nylon tight.

>As they say, if religion didn't exist, humans would invent it... Fixed it.

Way off topic and may need to be broken out into a separate thread but . . . Have any of you seen "How the States Got Their Shapes" on the History channel? Fascinating stuff. I think it's based on the book of the same name, but is way slicker in presentation. Anyway, the reason I bring it up is the shape of anything is usually the result of powerful political forces, not simply natural boundaries. I'd love to see districts redrawn to be more fair too, but the question always comes up, "fair to who?" I have always been astounded by the way the US states redistrict. Although the US does a far better job of moving the power to the actual population shifts, I think we in Canada do a better job of the actual redistricting. As in the US it is a province by province thing. A commmission is struck with a retired judge leading. They are mandated to make the ridings roughly equal demographically, but with allowances for physical size. Rural ridings tend to be smaller demographically due to the need for representatives to physically visit the area (west Texas is much harder to represent than suburban Dallas). The first draft is published and there are community meetings where people (and party operatives) state their claim as to why the residents feel they are naturally a part of this community rather than that one. What often comes up in these meetings are things like geographical or man made barriers to social permeability that an algorithm does not capture. High school catchment areas are often natural community makers. Freeways are dividers.Usually there are small amendments made and the results are passes in the legislature with all party support. The key is having a non-partisan chair of the committee.

As far as I know they are only covered for events in the US.

USPA insurance covers US residents worldwide, and everyone else in the US only. More to the point the CSPA dropzone insurance (the one the airports really care about) is invalid if the visiting jumper is not a member of either CSPA or their home country FAI affiliate.

John that is very good idea.

That's what i use.

Nope. Actually that line is borrowed from "A time to Kill."

No matter how you slice it a home for 2 years salary (starting pay) would be nice.

NEEDED PAPERWORK FOR CANADA 1) Membership- Either the FAI affiliate from your country of residence or CSPA. (Some DZs will accept USPA whether you are a US resident or not). 2) Certificate of Proficiency- Less than a Canadian "B" will usually draw scrutiny. 3) Packing Card- packing rules in country of rigger/owner/manufacturer (depends). 3) Jump ticket. Enjoy.

So does that mean the prohibition on Sudafed and other decongestants applies to TMs? That would keep a lot of people on the ground.

Are you trying to kill the recovery? Do know how many people would be laid off in the gun manufacturing industry? DAMN!

Y'know, you would think people would learn. It is never a good idea to compare your problems with the Jews. That dog just never hunts.

Not according to the Chief Commissioner of the Alberta Human Rights Commission. "Firstly, I would like to point out that no one is ever “hauled” before a Commission investigator. Individuals who have had a complaint made against them are invited to respond in person or in writing to the allegations of the complainant. This opportunity is provided to ensure fairness in the process." I stand corrected. Nonetheless, not appearing is, not defending yourself. You do not have the option to not comply with their findings.

Incorrect. The hearing that the youtube shows is a legal part of the tribunal process. Mr. Levant was there under subpoena. The evidence he gave was part of that which would have been used to determine whether he would have to pay the plaintiff had it gone to conclusion.

Your definition (actually some bureaucrat's) of hate speech. My definition would include virtually all religious dogma, particularly the bits where they tell my mother I'm going to hell. But then again, I don't disagree with their right to spew their lies.
