Viking - do you not realize the amount of women that will attrack? Think boy! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Still working on the numbers...but there has been some very positive interest. The "official" release of what we will be doing out there this weekend should hopefully be coming soon. I will polish it up and get it to HH for a news article as well. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

I was under the impression that "at will" allowed them to let you go for no cause, but due to HR lawsuits you need to give a reason when you fire someone.

I guess no one stays together forever! Can you believe this is news? It's splitsville for Barbie and Ken Couple 'will remain friends,' says Mattel NEW YORK (AP) --Just like J.Lo and Ben, the romance is over for Barbie and Ken. After 43 years as one of the world's prettiest pairs, the perfect plastic couple is breaking up. The couple's "business manager," Russell Arons, vice president of marketing at Mattel, said that Barbie and Ken "feel it's time to spend some quality time -- apart." "Like other celebrity couples, their Hollywood romance has come to an end," said Arons, who quickly added that the duo "will remain friends." Arons denied that there was any truth to rumors that the breakup was linked to the Cali (as in California) Girl Barbie, arriving in stores now. To better reflect her single status, Cali Barbie will wear board shorts and a bikini top, metal hoop earrings, and have a deeper tan. This new style already has attracted a new admirer, Blaine the Australian boogie boarder. Barbie -- the most popular fashion doll in the world, according to toy maker Mattel -- met Ken on the set of a TV commercial in 1961, and they have been inseparable ever since. Arons hinted Wednesday that the separation may be partially due to Ken's reluctance to getting married. All those bridal Barbie dolls in toy chests around the globe are really just examples of Barbie's wishful thinking, she explained. Another possible factor is Barbie's career. The doll who was "born" Barbie Millicent Roberts in 1959 has been everything from a rock star to military medic, and she's currently marketed in more than 150 countries. According to Mattel, every second, three Barbie dolls are sold somewhere in the world. So where does that leave Ken? Said Arons: "He will head for other waves." _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Good to know we will be focusing on the issues at hand. Oh well, guess the next four years will be a wash as well. I wonder who will run in 2008? I am not a fan of Kerry's special interest group associations, and would much prefer Edwards to run against GWB. However, him getting laid will not sway me either way. Sorry, it just doesn't matter to me. However, it will make me think differnt of him as a person. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

So, you are not going to jump it for a while? Then like Scott said - wait! They will make changes to the canopy and also release it in larger sizes....and you will have more jumps then! Also, it is not wise to change canopy types, canopy sizes or WL when you are not current, or if it doesn't look like you will not be current for a while. IT will take you a while just to dial your canopy back in, let alone something you have never jumped before. Everything is working against you on this, and for some reason, no one seems to think this is a good idea. Wonder why? Think. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

The whuffos (yes, all of them) just called me to say there was a funny skydiving video on Keith Obermans Countdown (repeats at Midnight EST). I've yet to see this video, so I will have to watch - a grandma on a tandem smiles for the camera and her dentures come flying out! Anyone catch it? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Not sure - and that will be interesting to see with the HT on the P4's. The way PC systems are built these days, the video card is the major bottleneck in a system. In fact, when most sites are doing benchmarking, they leave the video set at 640*480. I'm not certain that a MP setup will make Q3A run any faster. Also, Windows still doesn't handle MP setups like it should...IIRC all the CPU calls are handled by the first CPU and whatever that one can't handle, it is handed off to the 2nd one. Supposedly the HT idea is supposed to fix that, but it really is just one CPU trying to act like 2. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

You will want to upgrade that computer Jim. UT2K4, Battelfield Vietnam, Half-Life 2, and Doom 3 all come out (I hope) this year. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

FYI We had a tandem student a few years back that never told the DZ he had Asthma. The cold and adrenaline rush kicked off an attack - luckily he had the inhaler on him, too bad it was inside the jumpsuit. He went limp under canopy and the TM got them down as fast as possible - the guy was supposedly turning blue at this point. He was ok after some resuscitation - and when he started to come to, he reached inside the jumpsuit and used his inhaler. I've had the cold cause my lungs to flare up but never cause anything major. Talk to your Dr, that is what I did. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

NBC showed it a few times during Leno and Conan tonight. Nice to see the jumper was using a BOC and not some stupid rip-cord setup. Anyone else notice the jumper dropped both his knees when he went to pull? Pretty funny as a skydiver to think that a simple solo belly jump is marketing genius! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

yup, boring, no humor to be found in them, and tend to repeat the same 5 or 6 lines over and over. Come up with a better comedy routine - your "SIN" posts are as fresh as Gallagher's Smash-o-matic sketch. Or go make a skydive. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

It's hard to believe, I know. My criticisms are with this job-amnesty program and the "No Child Left Behind" Act. Those are the big ones anyway. Wow - you are in agreement with me! Is this one of the seven signs? Is the end near? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Quote Note that the national party is growing a spine, but slowly. If they had a spine, the memoranda found by Frist's recently fired aide would have been splattered over every newspaper in the country. Take the following phrase from one such memo: 'We should oppose him [Estrada] because he is Hispanic and the White House appears to be grooming him for a Supreme Court nomination.' - that sentence alone is indictment enough as to how much credibility the left has on racial equality - ZILCH - regardless of how the memorandum in which it was found was obtained. Can you imagine the media frenzy that would have occurred had a Republican memo leaked with this phrase: 'We should oppose Judge Smith's nomination because he is black and the White House appears to be grooming him for a Supreme Court nomination' ?? Which is why I refuse to buy into party lines or those that speak for them. Good to see the GOP is getting their racial act together just in time to strengthen their predujice against homosexuals in this country. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

You think if I went to a really high WL on a x-braced canopy I could do that???? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

And I'm sure all members of the GOP have a best friend of another color/creed. Whatever. This is where these threads get out of control - the dems are stereotypical this, the repubs are stereotypical that. Is "I know you are but what am I?" far behind? I'm neither and would never associate myself with either party. I vote the lesser evil. Right now it is the Dems...it hasn't been that way in the past for me. Yes. I have voted for the GOP more than once in my life, and I have voted for Dem's, Libertarian, etc..... But, this is a great way to stick to the platform and issues at hand. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Well, since Jeb is still in FL, the GOP doesn't need to buy that state, they will just "lose" some ballots again Guess the GOP studied old Chicago political winning policies for elections. Plenty of dead people in FL to vote for GWB. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
