Remember that living on half of half is 25%!

I prefer to use a fresh 36-inch length of 500# vectran cord as it's not slick like spectra, it's very durable, and it tucks away using little volume.

Sounds like a freedom loving liberal to me!

Don't forget that most of these municipalities spend a king's ransom on medical expenses connected to gunshot wounds, which are the basis of these lawsuits. However, I don't agree that any manufacturer should feel responsible either.

Back in the seventies I went to a surface swimmer beach assault training program in San Diego at the amphibious operations training center across the street from the buds program. Every morning (early dawn and foggy too) you could expect a cold swim in the Pacific after being dropped from a helicopter, a ship, a landing craft, or one of these funny looking boats with wheels on it. Your scrotum would be tighter than a baseball skin before you and your swim buddy made it to the beach. Glad I was a soldier, not a sailor!

I prefer a woman who has forced her body (and mind) through a four year college degree program. I've had too many dependent types, and eventually both of us got tired of it. The educated ladies tend to take much better care of themselves without someone else having to suggest it.

I do my own work with a senior rigger's ticket, but when I'm not in the mood or it's a master rigger's task I pay $60/hr and I tip too.

I hope it's not starting yet. Among first time buyers roughly 75% of the mortgages written in California in the last couple of years are ARM (5/25), which often allow interest only during the first 5-years. After that, you have only 25-years to pay off a 30-year note, and some deals even let the buyers pay less than actual interest during the first 5-years with the difference added to the 25-year note, and that is compounding, so they will owe more after the first 5-years have passed. Currently, real estate is the prettiest girl at the dance, but the fun will end when the music stops!

Wow, the aircraft insurance companies would just cringe seeing this clip! I'm guessing that a long closing loop is the culprit here, right?

Do you mean once you put it on in the plane before exit? What I do is make a concentrated effort to exhale only through the little holes in the helmet. It usually works because when I don't think about it, my glasses get all fogged up under my helmet. It seems like a vented cover over the mouth and nose would be required to keep moisture from condensing on *her* faceplate.

I've lived in a variety of places, and the expenses that really make a difference are: energy, fresh food, housing, and taxes. The two expenses that vary widely based on where you reside are energy and housing.

How does Jules keep his helmet's faceplate from fogging?

The pilot in the F18 is able to see with a full panoramic view. Looks like one hell of an improvement over the F4 days. Nice clip, thanks!

Usually you pay taxes from where you've been living, and your residency information is found there on the forms. Also, when you transfer, you plan on using your previous school's transcripts that have courses and dates defined. Just a word of caution: at some point following school I assume that you intend on becoming a professional, and you are proposing to hoodwink a state government...a poor idea since your financial personality is easily researched by employers at MyFico.

Don't worry the EU has things under control.

It's about time, but it should be at least a $250k death benefit!

Any pix?

Same here too. I have Dell 530 that I dual boot between w2k and rhel3-ws, and I also have a w2k "guest" on a vmware rhel3-ws "host". The major problem for me in rhel3-ws are the media clips and mp3, which are licensed technologies, so no dumping w2k yet. For Linux or {Free,Net,Open}BSD, just install "xine". I haven't found a media clip it couldn't play. Well, I loaded the xine 1.0 engine, but gxine front end wouldn't compile for some reason, but I did get the xine-ui to compile, and it's working just fine. I'll have to spend some time with codec binaries, but it's coming together. Thanks!

Micrometer eyes! The JVX cells appear to scribe a smooth arc from side to side whereas the VX has the center cells pulled lower due to the center lines being shorter. See the attachment.

From the third photo, it would appear that there isn't much of a differential trim either.

CalPoly, SLO where I graduated from with a Civil Engineering degree, has an ArchEng program that is widely accepted by the building industry. Basically it is a Structural Engineering program with additional material added, and the educational program is lengthy too. I have friend who went through the program, but his employer has him doing construction management duties these days as he also enjoys collaborating with other professionals. I'm not sure what the colleges look at in their application decisions, but it's not always an achievement based decision. CalPoly only accepts 30% of the applicants, and I got in based on high grades from a junior college and a veteran's preference. The first year there was a gauntlet too as they washout scores of hopeful students who found they simply couldn't maintain the pace. If your son has what its going to take he will choose his studies over his friends who have other goals. All the engineering students I knew were devoted. For example, on Valentine's day the ladies I knew stayed home to study rather than waste precious time on a dinner, and I'm sure their boyfriends studied likewise, or they would be dumped for lack of enthusiasm.

Many economists believe that trouble in the U.S. economy spells even worse for the rest of the world. Europe with its 900+ million consumers is not as tightly bonded as many would like to believe, and that their political bonds existed only because of the cold war threat. With that threat now gone they have more room to practice their discontent with the U.S. and their neighboring countries. Europe has a huge population of old people, and a good number of the rest are being ravaged by aids, heroin, tobacco, high unemployment, and an apathic outlook toward the future of the EU. Also remember that foreign investment can easily be nationalized unless they face retaliation, and the U.S., not Europe, has the capability to impose economic sanctions or destroy infrastructure from a comfortable distance.

Remember that the CIA didn't predict the Soviet Union's economic demise until after it happened. The demographics of Europe are probably a prelude of what the U.S. will experience when 75+ million baby boomers retire.

Same here too. I have Dell 530 that I dual boot between w2k and rhel3-ws, and I also have a w2k "guest" on a vmware rhel3-ws "host". The major problem for me in rhel3-ws are the media clips and mp3, which are licensed technologies, so no dumping w2k yet. However, I still do all my prowling to unknown sites with rhel3-ws, so no spyware and virus issues...yet. I also use a netscreen-5xp firewall appliance with strict policies too.

Hey, San Diego is high-end living when compared to most of America's cities, and the annual average weather is world class.
