The relative velocity of the less red shifted one is 1C; how much higher is the other.

I know two people who have landed round reserves on the median at Lodi. 'Course back then we knew how to do accuracy dammit!

It seems curious to me that (for example) the Mark the evangelist, a Jew born in Judea would write in Greek. Matthew certainly was later translated from Hebrew to Greek as the apostle would have written the gospel for the Hebrews.

One of the ways I try to stay young is by listening to new music, like Nirvana.

Puleese! It was not a great game at all. It was entertaining but was not good football. I don't care how good Warner is, if their defense doesn't step it up they will not survive.

Or in simpler words - the combination of a recession and a spike in energy costs. No. The combination of recession and repetitive printing of money as an alternative to people actually changing their habits.

Considering economists haven't fully understood 70's stagflation, I don't see how you can predict it. Economists don't fully understand much. That said stagflation is not that mysterious. It occurs when quantitative easing produces nominal GDP growth that is swamped by structural inflation.

Hopefully they translated the Hebrew texts and not the KJV. Why would anyone copy a copy?

Why do they refer to the medieval warm period as the "Medieval Optimum?" Sounds like a good thing to me.

I would suggest that you need to find that instructor and re-acquaint yourself with whatever he did to fix your pack job and not pack again until you understand it.

Actually I see his comments as accurate.

-3C here today. Warmest it's been in two months.

I know one examiner who's policy is if people are not prepared he extends the course one day so they can get prepared, and charges them his day-rate for that day.

Well I don't know much about the ownership of the company or who owns the paper on various aircraft, but I am pretty sure that Bill is not the sole shareholder of Flanagan Enterprises (Ian Flanagan might be involved, you never know). Regardless it is a corporate entity and Bill's personal membership in USPA has nothing to do with it. Your argument that the company's (alleged) violations of FARs should disqualify Bill personally is crazy. If John Kallend is written up for busting an airspace or fails a ramp inspection because his throttle placard is missing, should he be thrown out of USPA? These are FAR violations. The Parachute Center is not a group member of USPA specifically so Bill can run the DZ as he sees fit without people like you trying to tell him how to run his business. That said the history there and at Pope Valley clearly show that Bill's way does not yield a higher accident rate than other centres. You have no leg to stand on here other than the fact that you personally do not like the place. Fine, jump somewhere else.

If your gonna go for objective accuracy, you should at least say "It is probably more accurate to say we will survive, or not- with or without it meaning anything." Your giving more testimony showing that people who dont believe in God also do not believe there is meaning to life. A conversation that we have been having quite a bit of on these forums. Now, billvon will come on here and say that is not true... that there are Atheistic minds who do believe there is a meaning to/for life, but that is hardly ever the case when I speak with an actual atheist. Wow. it is so rare that I agree with anything you say. I give my life it's own meaning. If I am skillful I can extend the meaning a little past my death, but that is it. It's kind of like football. The games tonight are very meaningful within the context of the season, but once the Superbowl is played the meaningfulness pretty much ends. Edited to add: I realize you don't think that way, but as an atheist I do.

Venezuela's problems are deeper than just the level of government involvement. Exporting huge amounts of wealth to further the revolution in other latin American countries and confiscatory economic policies that have driven business to withhold technical investment are more significant here than just the overall level of government involvement in the economy. Norway and France are examples of very high government spending but that have economies that work. I have yet to hunt down a good set of stats on the issue but here is one list of unknown accuracy that shows Venezuela is 70th on the list at 41.1% ('07 data). http://anepigone.blogspot.com/2008/03/government-spending-as-percentage-of.html

Slow modest recovery this year with unemployment remaining stubbornly high this year followed by stagflation next.

The one that owns the aircraft.

That sounds like a corporate issue and nothing to do with Bill's personal membership (if accurate).

Quit beating around the fucking bush! If you have an accusation to make then make it; be specific.

The problem is that they are on the brink. The reason an individual is removed from the gene pool becomes irrelevant; the fact that they are removed is the only cogent issue. The same is true for polar bears and Inuit hunting of them.

Although the cash crop poaching biz and troop feeding requirements from various wars has been perhaps a larger problem, yes, subsistence hunting is a serious threat.

Fixed it for you.

Amateurs. It's much better as a dartboard. I'd think a bible would probably also stop a pistol bullet. I dunno. some drunk friends decided to shoot one of them through a phone book with a 38. It made it through 22 letters; definitely bigger than the bible.

But what if the poacher wanted to kill the last black rhino to feed his children to keep them alive? I say rhino burgers for the kids. Not all poachers are big white hunters looking for trophies. This of course is not theoretical. In Africa today there are people hunting gorillas to feed their families. Do you really think it is OK to hunt them to extinction because there are (and always have been and always will be) hungry people?
