  1. One of the funniest shows on tv. I hear the Frikin Sweat DVD is worth it just for the one episode they never aired. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  2. I am trying to get the essentials for my camera (300D), and can't figure out if it has a built in UV filter. I am still using the kit lens. If it doesnt' which would you go with? From what I have researced and what my brother in law says, I am looking at the Tiffen line. Would a Canon filter be any different? But even with that choice, I'm not sure which of these to choose from. Is there a good source of information so I can understand the difference of filters?

I know filters are more important with film than DSLR, but would you suggest any others? Also, just for my own knowledge - what filters do you use in freefall? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  3. I didnt think it had eaten anyone. Maybe I missed a show or two. I remeber it killing the pilot. But not eating him. Ill put $1 on the elephant (of some sort)theory Could be - was talking to some friends tonight and they pointed out that the little kid was reading a comic book on the airplane that had a polar bear and some other animals on the cover. I didn't catch that, so who knows. Or, they could all just be in their own personal hell just like in "No Exit" Have you noticed that all seven deadly sins are present in the cast? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  4. Welcome to Recruiting 101. Funny thing about that - when I broke the rules and did it my own way I was much more successful than when I played the game like everyone else. Now that I am back to playing the game by my rules I am on the path to being successful. I may not get as many leads, but my conversion rate is above 80%! Recruiters that work for consulting firms are not your friends. Don't trust them and don't use them if you don't have to. Corp recruiters are a different breed. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  5. Who used the word smitten??? Let me know if you need any pointers on follow up or reasons to contact them. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  6. That' not true _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  7. eh, he said it wasn't a dinosaur (either Jack or Locke). And why was Locke able to get away from it? Looks like Claire gets to meet it next week. Would a mammoth be that aggressive to eat a person?? I just hope it isn't something lame like in the langoliers. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  8. I hope that doesn't mean that this person that targeted Kevin is now targeting someone else on the forums. This whole situation is disturbing. I think he meant the person that wrote the letter. A thinly veiled threat. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  9. Got them for face value!! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  10. WooHOO! Just scored tickets to it! Going to see it this weekend! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  11. I'm thinking that the cave is a literal representation of the allegory of the cave. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  12. Like I said before, if it was "at will" employment, the reason doesn't matter. They could have just let him go and never told him why. However, when the company mentioned to him about the letter it changed the entire scenario. It seems they took action because of the letter, and in the HR legal world that is what matters the most. The company will be able to prove if Kev posted from work via the time/date stamp on the posts. If they prove violation of an internet usage policy the company is in the clear. However, if there isn't a violation, the company acted upon hearsay and damages can be awarded. On top of that the author would be up for slander. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  13. I watch it every week but I never thought of that. Wow...that's something to think about! Well, knowing how much the creator of the show loves symbols, weaving sub-plots together and his flare to have an overall story arc/mythology....it was an easy theory to come up with. Almost everyone on the show except Hurley and Rose have some sort of event or lifestyle that they are not proud of...most of the things would be considered sins. Rose introduced religion this week with helping Charlie forgive himself. There is plenty of symbolism on that show, even in the names. Jack's last name is Shepard and then there is John Locke who is named after a philosopher...who talked about the blank slate which was the title of a previous episode "tabula rosa." All of this makes me wonder how long this show can stay on the air. 1)The studio will want the continued success of the show. They originally tried to ruin the show and were not happy when it took off as well as it did. They will want more sex, violence etc. So far Abrahms has been good with the balance of that on Alias and throws Garner into something sexy every episode to keep the suits happy. It seems he is doing that with Kate as well. 2) How long can they run with this story? How many story ideas will they be able to do? Are they dead? Are they alive? Will it become the new Gilligans Island? How long will the island be a mystery? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  14. It could be that the photographers were more creative then, or the creative ones just are not sending in the pics! And pics like this and the ones the Freak Brothers have from the 70s make me laugh when people claim that they invented freeflying in the 90s. http://manifestmaster.com/parachutist/1984_11.jpg _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  15. Anyone else here watch this show? If so, what are you ideas about this island? I just found out that Season One takes place during their first 40 days on the island, and that number is not an accident. With the way Locke can walk, and all the other odd things, I think they are already dead. I am starting to think they are in pergatory. Thus making the show about lost souls. How about you? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

  17. Why would it be any different than a quote from a person in history or any other piece of literature? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  18. Did you add distortion to the lower corners or was that a result of the flash? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  19. And she even has/had a tv show on MTV! What an odd family. The really wierd part is hearing the dad talk about Jessica's virginity all the time. Hmmm...he never talks about Ashley that way _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  20. how is the show this year? I've been following the media on it, but it's lacking this year. Did you see the new Motorolla helmets that have bluetooth and an MP3 player built into them? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  21. Those polls allow you to vote more than once. If you check as a guest you can vote once, then vote once you log in. Also, as a guest you can keep voting if you clear out your cookies. Yes, it's stupid and childish but I bet people do it. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  22. ~1400 miles to the Holiday Boogie at the former Skydive America (with stops at Lake Wales, Sebastian and Zhills) ~1200 miles to the Holiday Boogie in Zhills. Seven hours to Couch Freaks Six hours to Richmond Five hours to Quincy 90 minutes to Rantoul 65 minutes to Summerfest _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  23. Good luck to you - that is a tough industry with almost no friends. There were too many reasons to leave that industry, like the one you are going thru now (and by the same company!). Hope you end up on the air somewhere else _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

  25. Cruise couldn't act his way out of a box! How many times do you think we will get a nice close up of his face with his "concerned, upset, shocked yet constipated" look. The guy is a goof and there are a thousand better actors out there that actually act. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
