$2.35 just down the street for me on the border of Chicago and one of the burbs. I could care less right now as I put 2 miles on my car this week so far. I'm loving the fact that I am taking the train to work downtown again!! $3/day! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Even though the statement is true and in someway very sad, it at the same time is sarcastically funny.

You know this for certain? Have you hung around Deland to see the test jumps under their proto types? Hmmm....should Icarus release the VX39 to the market because people demand that as well? Maybe the people that do more jumps in a week than you have done in your life know what they are doing? btw - I asked LeBlanc about the 27 cell canopy about a year or two ago. His response? "How do you know we don't have one made?" and gave a big smile. At the time the PD opinion was why fix what isn't broken? I would send them an email to get their current opinion. The Velo is still beating almost any other canopy on the market (if you want to dispute that, look at the results for the Canopy World Cup a couple months back).....when jumpers have finally learned how to get everything out of that canopy and there is a market for something else....I would guess you would see a new canopy then. It says alot about a canopy when people with several thousand jumps under it are still learning how to fly it better. That should also make you think about your own canopy progression. As far as outdated - ha! The Velo only hit the market a couple of years ago (AFTER the FX and VX). Since then they have released the Vengeance, Sabre 2, several new PD Reserve sizes, and the Katana (and I think a new tandem main and a bunch of military canopies). So much for resting on reputation. Just because other companies need to release a version 2 of a canopy to fix mistakes when they rushed their canopy to the market also says alot about PD. Maybe you should be asking questions to learn about the sport and how it progressed before you knew about it instead of flaming one of the best companies in it? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Maybe if all skydivers acted like adults. I've seen someone under 200 jumps under an 84 Velo (and has since died in a jump related accident). It's very simple to check your jump credentials. If they know your DZO, JM, rigger, store, etc they can easily check up on you. For instance - I forgot my log book at home before I ran off to a boogie. While I was sitting at Manifest they called Skydive Chicago and asked Roger Nelson to vouch for my currency . If you raised a few red flags and they didn't check your references, can you imagine the shit storm that would brew after your bounced on their demo? It only takes one idiot to f*ck up the entire system. There are people waiting in line to be that idiot. edit to add - good on PD for being smart about this. I've never had a problem with them and have always had superior customer service from everyone within that company. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

I hope not, she's a really cool girl. Stacy's met her, Bytch too, I think...and we've chatted a few times. Yes, Kris was right. And yes, Dagny is a cool girl - hung out with her a while back. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Yes, every single pic was taken at SDC. I know that some of those pics were taken by either Mike Garza or Woody. Quite a few of them seem to have been taken around 1999 or 2000 just before the 300 way attempt. I'll send them both an email to let them see the site. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

BOO! GO ILLINOIS! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

I hire people all the time. That is my job. It never enters my mind. It's called being professional and doing your job in an ethical manner. Honestly, it's not that hard. Trust me, there are plenty of other reasons not to hire someone. Most people don't realize they give those reasons away with their answers to behavior based questions. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

I was stuck in traffic next to one of those about two weeks back. Nice ride. Very loud. It purrs. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

You forgot Space Shuttle jumps. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Congrats to the victory. I agree - if they were that motivated to submit false data to help shut down GSC, this fight is not over. One wrong move by a jumper will give them ammunition. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

I'm a bit confused - while on your belly in a typical RW stance, the pants do or do not inflate? If it does, you fell that the inflation helps slow you down? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

It would be illegal for an HR dept to ask what your religious beliefs are and then not hire you due to your answer. That is a lawsuit waiting to happen. The standard has already been set on what they need to follow. Just like a Dr they take a pledge. They either follow it or get a different job. There are no grey areas with this. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Same here. Not expected at all....figured they would do the good girl thing as well. I mentioned to my friend today that BSG is what B5 could have been with a nice budget to afford better sets and actors. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Out the door to watch the game with a bunch of Illini grads! Go ILL! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

That shouldn't factor into any decision in this. Besides, what if it was too much for them to drive to another pharmacy? This could happen in rural Illinois areas. Also, the pharmacist has no idea why the script was given. It could be for health reason other than birth control. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Just watched the Season Finale. Wow. What an incredible show and first season. Some of the best story telling I have seen in a long time. I hope they can weave the second season together the same way. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Which makes them the perfect candidates to be in office, no? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
