  1. I heard a lot of broadway shows had to go dark due to the convention as well. But - I heard the city offered people who choose not to protest half cost seats to entertainment or food venues. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  2. And it has been stated that NYC will take a huge financial hit from the convention. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  3. With wingsuit flight, couldn't you fly formations close up on several planes of flight? Granted you would need good fliers that were conscious of the burble. The other thing - wouldn't the suit matter when it comes to grippers? From my understanding your leg stance is more important on the Matter suits, therefore a leg grip there could be a bit more troublesome? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  4. Agreed - I borrowed a GTI for three jumps and I am hooked. Now I just need to get the money for a suit and a canopy (won't jump it under a Stiletto). I don't see how it could ever get borin, there is just so much to do with the suit. It reminded me of being a kid - running around with your arms out pretending you can fly. It is unlike anything else in this sport. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  5. You can see the connection on his wrist in the Good Stuff DVD if you pay attention. Even with his rock climbing background I doubt Greg could hold on during deployment. My question about his stunts is when he climbs out of the harness and hangs by his legs from the leg straps. I looked and never saw anything holding him onto the harness, esp during the part when he reaches up to get back into the harness. Did I miss something connected to his ankle? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  6. Nope, not really - I work for a culinary school and the amount of hands on training and tweaking it takes in person is intense. It is such a fine art and very subjective plus input is needed on presentation, taste, etc....I would never recommend anyone that wanted to become a chef to take online courses. If you were looking for hobby based classes you could learn maybe just as much as gettin cooking for dummies. There are areas that online helps with, esp with the traditional english, history, math and even computer classes....but they cannot work for everything. I for one would not want an ATP pilot that received the majority of his training online. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  9. Funny - I had a friend talking to me about Texas last night. He refered to it all night as "the south." He had me laughing when he said that Mexico put up a fence to keep the Texans out of Mexico _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  10. If you know the name of the movie we can look it up under the many devolpment heck websites. Congrats to your son. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  11. If you want to believe this site - ice.he.net/~freepnet/kerry/index.php?topic=NewSoldier - you can read parts of it here. Personally - with all the rhetoric and bullshit surrounding the candidates and Vietnam....I don't care anymore one way or another. There is enough noise that I won't use that as watermark to make any decisions. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  12. I was watching Clinton on The Daily Show and he mentioned that the same group that is bashing Kerry is the same group that attacked McCain in 2000 towards his war record and what he did as a POW. This was a first for me - is this a well known fact? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  13. Ex-Lawmaker Says He Helped Bush With Guard By BOBBY ROSS JR DALLAS (AP) - Former Texas House Speaker Ben Barnes said he is ``more ashamed at myself than I've ever been'' because he helped President Bush and the sons of other wealthy families get into the Texas National Guard so they could avoid serving in Vietnam. ``I got a young man named George W. Bush into the National Guard ... and I'm not necessarily proud of that, but I did it,'' Barnes, a Democrat, said in a video clip recorded May 27 before a group of John Kerry supporters in Austin. Barnes, who was House speaker when Bush entered the Guard, later became lieutenant governor. The video was posted June 25 on the Web site www.austin4kerry.org, but didn't get much attention until Friday, when Jim Moore, an Austin-based author of books critical of Bush, sent out e-mails calling attention to it just days before the GOP National Convention starts in New York. Bush joined the National Guard in 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War, and served until 1973. He has said he received no special treatment. Barnes said he became ashamed after walking through the Vietnam Memorial and looking at the names of the dead. ``I became more ashamed of myself than I've ever been because it was the worst thing I did - help a lot of wealthy supporters and a lot of people who had family names of importance get in the National Guard,'' he said. ``I'm very sorry of that and I'm very ashamed of it and I apologize to the voters of Texas for that.'' Barnes told The Associated Press in a brief telephone interview Saturday that the video ``just speaks for itself.'' He declined to answer specific questions about what role he had in helping Bush, but he said he may have more to say next week. Both Bush and his father, the former president, have said they did not ask for help in finding the Guard opening. ``It is no surprise that a partisan Democrat is making these statements,'' Bush spokeswoman Claire Buchan told the Houston Chronicle. ``This was addressed five years ago, and there's nothing new.'' Five years ago, Barnes found himself at the center of questions about Bush's Vietnam-era service when the then-Texas governor emerged as the Republican presidential front-runner. At that time, Barnes' lawyer issued a statement saying Barnes had been contacted by the now-deceased Sidney Adger, a Houston oilman and friend of Bush's father, who was then a congressman. Adger asked Barnes to recommend Bush for a pilot position with the Air National Guard and he did, that statement said. ``Neither Congressman Bush nor any other member of the Bush family asked Barnes' help,'' according to the 1999 statement _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  17. Bush thinking? Didn't think he could do that. Quick! Someone get him a copy of My Pet Goat and get Rove on the phone to make decisions for him. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

  19. Which always made me wonder - if you live in a hurricane prone area and own a house, wouldn't you want to have the boards ready long before it becomes a threat? This way you beat the rush and can focus more time on securing your house and getting supplies. Or would termites eat everything while you stuff sat in the garage? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
