  1. Chicken bones do the same thing. Never tried the candle thing - the thought of it made me laugh however. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  2. by far, one of my favorite boogies. wondering if i should bug someone to let me jump their old round gear this year. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  3. Actually, I didn't see him as a wimp. I saw him as a man trying to deny his destiny, and believe that his fate is really what he makes. The entire movie was about fate, destiny, predistination and hope. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  4. I found the acting by the new John Conor and Claire Danes to be good - Arnold has never acted, and Kristina was very good as a robot - stiff. However, just never got the same "oh damn" feeling when she was on screen like you did with the T1000. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  5. Anyone else see this movie tonight? Non - spoiler review: I liked it, and will be the second movie this summer I deem worthy of a second viewing. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

  11. Anyone using this service? Looks like a good way for me to cut my phone bill down. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  12. This is what I would do based on my training and experience. Consult your instructor. Your mileage my vary. Hell yes. I'm not planning on going in with a horseshoe and no handles pulled. I'd do the same thing I was taught to do if I got a throwout PC wrapped around my arm: Try twice to shake it off, and if it doesn't clear, cutaway and pull my reserve. I had been thinking about this myself recently - had my PC bounce off my ankle when I deployed in a track (yes, I could have thrown it out harder). If I had a horseshoe, would I chop before going to silver? My thought in the air was if this is a horseshoe, drop that leg and pull the reserve without chopping the main. Luckily, nothing snagged. To this day, I've yet to hear a solid reason from the bigshots on whether to chop a horseshoe or not. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  13. Thinking of getting digital TV here. Don't like the cable company in my area. Anyone have opinions on either company? Is there one to stay away from? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  14. I understand copyright protection, but I am not a fan of the RIAA. I've been tempted to download the songs off of every cd that I own (over 800 cds now) and let them come after me and prove I did something wrong. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  15. Damn. The few times I met Ian he was always great to talk with. Hope this isn't true. Blue skies brother, where ever you may be. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  16. Thanks - that is a huge help! Now, I will have to decide if I want to make it all in one drive (16-17hours) or stop somewhere (another DZ or truckstop) in Missouri or Kansas - could even divert to Arkansas if needed. I've made it as far as Atlanta without stopping to take a rest, so I guess I could make it to Texas. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  17. I have a few friends in Texas....I think I would end up seeing a few DZs down there. Houston, Dallas, San Maros, Spaceland....did I miss any? :) _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  18. Curious - I may end up making a trip down to Texas before the end of the summer, and want to make it as affordable as possible. Since I would be driving, anyone know off hand which DZs would be the best to bunk at along the way, or which ones I should visit? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  19. Outside of the typical brusies from exits, docks, funnels and landings.... During student program I downwinded the landing with no flare to seperate my left knee and massive soft tissue damage to the other (my only skydiving hospital trip).....broken rib from bad opening on a Sabre 230.....and whiplash from a helmet to helmet collision when someone hit my burble. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  20. And that's what I call communication interference. It must be turned off. And I have found my GSM phone to cause more interferance on electronic devices in my household to be more prevelant than my TDMA phones ever did. There is a constant click when you place it near a speaker, and a buzz a few seconds before the call hits the phone. Also to note - the 900mhz cordless phone I have emits a constant beep near any speakers in my place, but my 2.4g router and house phone do not. Outside of my watch and Cyrpes, just about any electical device I have will be turned off on the plane. Why would I even want to push the issue to prove a point? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  21. Correct. The FCC's airborne cellphone prohibition is in Part 22, which is specific to 800 MHz cellular service; there is no corresponding rule in Part 24, which governs PCS. (IIRC) I presume the same issues apply. I am SUCH a geek. _Am I can't remember the stats of GSM - but would that band be covered as well in part 22? I will mention that I've been told that TDMA doesn't work in the midwest at 9000AGL I am curious - how do they handle cell phone usage from those on the Skydeck at the top of the Sears Tower? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  22. I have two AT&T GSM phones - the Nokia 6200 and the Siemens S46. Here in the Chicago area, GSM rocks and is by far the best service I have ever had - and it even works out at Skydive Chicago. Why two phones? Well, since GSM is not everywhere, I just swap the SIM card into the S46 and I can use either the GSM or TDMA signals ( you need to have a mutli-ban plan). These are probably the two best phones I have ever had or used and I have been using cell phones for 11 years now, and change the phone at least once a year. Depending on my next job, I will most likely get a Pocket PC Phone for the GSM network. So Bill doesn't like GSM? Funny, I had a friend that worked for Sprint and said the same thing - however, when I used Sprint it was one of the worst services, along with PrimeCo that I ever used. If I was to change, I would only switch over to Cingular. Edit to add - when I was in Lake Wales my AT&T TDMA phone worked fine. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  24. Time Bandits? Don't touch that, its EVILLLLL! edit to add: Time Bandits came out in 81 in USA, both those movies came out in 82. You could always check this list - all the movies by release date in USA back in 82: http://us.imdb.com/ReleasedInYear?year=1982&country=USA&&nav=/Sections/Years/1982/include-byreleasedate _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
