Looks like the show got its own appointment via sticky note. Just read today that they let the contracts expire for everyone on the show and there is no effort by Showtime to pick it up. Too bad, it was a great show. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

just incredible...sorry Jake. Do you live on the base? Did the cops call you or a friend? At least you had all your skydiving gear and camera setup with you. Any idea the extent of the damage yet? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Letterman's visit to Iraq GOOOOD, Rumsfeld PR BS!!
ChasingBlueSky replied to rhino's topic in Speakers Corner
Very true, could be. However there are a few that I know were not that way. I had one Marine that quit about 4 years from retirement because of his dislike of what Bush was doing. BTW - you don't believe in what Bush says? Polls come and go and you can't trust/believe in them? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again..... -

Letterman's visit to Iraq GOOOOD, Rumsfeld PR BS!!

Maybe within his group of friends. I'm not in the game right now (I was, though.) but I've got my own group of friends who currently are. They say just the opposite. I'm just saying that your opinion or that of your friends on this matter is probably not very accurate overall. All recently released troops that I have seen in my office do not talk positive about Rummy, Bush, Iraq or this administration. The only thing they talk positive about is Afghan. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again..... -
I recently stayed at a 4/5 star hotel that had a mini bar in the HUGE room I was staying in. $8 for a bag of M&Ms! Anyway.....When I checked out I had a few charges against my room from the mini bar even thou I didn't use anything. I guess when I lifted the bottles out of the fridge a sensor marked it as "used." I guess they are used to that as they removed the charges without even looking at the stock. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

TITAN heads up display altimeter
ChasingBlueSky replied to voodew1's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
You meant OLED, didn't you? ;-) OLED is just coming to market, but translucent thin-film displays suitable for use in a visor are not here just yet. The hud concept is pretty cool though. I wouldn't use one because it would be a distraction during training/competition, but the gadget freak within wants one anyway. There was a jumper in Hawaii that was showing off his Heads up display at the camera seminar at Quincy a few years back. Instead of using a ring sight the display showed in real time what would have been showing in the eyepiece of the camera. Imagine something like that with the alti displayed on it - that would be a great toy for the vidiots. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Last night on the news they mentioned that the heaviest snowfall in the country at that moment was happening in Houston. Now that has to be a first. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Look at that, you and I can agree on stuff. I fully agree. It's more the thought that goes behind the gift than getting the gift. It's about spending times with someone you love or care for. I could care less if I get a gift to unwrap (although I doubt I am going to get the only thing I asked for this year )- I usually buy what I want for myself and don't need someone to get me more stuff. But if someone has gone out of their way to invest time and/or money into getting me something - that is what really matters. If you don't care to spend the time to get something for someone, then don't get them a gift. I never give out of obligation. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

What can we do about Skyride?
ChasingBlueSky replied to ChasingBlueSky's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Where do you see intent in there? The Lanham Act doesn't require intent, but only a likelihood of confusion. Didn't realize the description was that broad. My background on "mark" infringment is related to only one college class and I have gone back to that book and looked up some of what I studied. They used the word "intent" in the textbook. Intent: The state of one's mind at the time one carries out an action. I would think that naming the false companies that close to existing companies or using trademarked names on a website would show intent. Even if it didn't it seems to fit the broader "likelihood" you mentioned. I'm certain if I started a company a photo company called Codak that I would be sued in a heartbeat. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Apparently in Ohio you aren't allowed either. Can you think of any examples where someone got one in there anyway? Within my group of friends that are not cops? Not that I can recall. But those that are officers? They tend to carry all the time. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

Unless you been cutting grass all day in the NC summer - then gimme my frosted mug!!!! I'll take some ice cold water to cool off, then relax with some good beer. Pilsner Urquell seems to loose all of its taste in a frosted mug, as does any real beer. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

He can't? What's stopping him? Well, inside Chicago you can't own a handgun for one, and the CCW was voted down in IL (barely). The bars in IN that I have been to tend to not allow guns inside. Edit - I believe off duty CPD can carry inside any establishment in this city, but I could be wrong. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

The shooter was a trained Marine. There is a chance that a civilian with little or no training could have caused more damage. I'm a good shot (and better than some CCWs I know), but I doubt I would be good enough to open fire and only hit the perp in a crowded, panic filled environment. Personally speaking - I feel safer knowing that some wannabe with a CCW can't bring his gun into a place with booze. Most people I have met that say out loud "I wish I had my gun" tend to have some serious issues and I wouldn't want them going into "hero" mode while I am around or my loved ones are around. Now, I have no problem with an off duty cop with a gun. They have been trained and tend not to go into "hero" mode. Quite a few friends of mine are cops, sheriffs or state troopers and they almost always have a gun on them. Before their training I would never have wanted them out with their gun - I knew how they acted with them. But once they came back from training they acted more mature and responsible with the weapon. If a CCW had to go thru similar training I wouldn't care as much. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

ChasingBlueSky replied to ChasingBlueSky's topic in The Bonfire
Sometimes I like to play the older classic games. I have 80 Atari classics on my laptop for that reason. Not all games have to have DirectX9.0b bells and whistles for them to be fun. Besides, you can't beat the price, much like America's Army - it's free! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

The colder the beer, the more it removes the taste. Never get a beer in a frosted mug. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

An AMD64 or P4 with HT are some nice CPUs that can match up with a PowerPC. Server 2003 is one of the better setups I have played with in some time. If you want to really spend some money, get yourself a RS/6000 S70 Also, 2003 can't be that bad, its what Digital Dimension used to create the VFX on Blade:Trinity. Plus, only the cool games are on PC! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
