The situation as far as I know it goes something like this. The two of them were having and argument. Nobody else involved, so it was a 1 on 1 situation. No blows had ever been thrown. Randy put his arms up in typical redneck fashion as if to say "what you wanna go". Before anyone knew what happened, John pulled out a knife and stabbed him in his side. Luckily he hit a rib, so there was no real internal damage. One of our local jumpers is an off duty sheriff and immediately handled the situation, detained John and held him for local police.

I am totally addicted to Thomas Pink shirts. Anyone who thinks they are too expensive needs to splurge and buy 1. Once you do, you will never go back! Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana

5th Annual Zhills 4-way Scrambles - Sunday, 27 May

I have no idea, but I have gotten a lot of emails and tons of people have come up to speak to me at the DZ about it. Should be a pretty big turnout. -OK Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana -
Alton Brown rocks, Bobby Flay on the other hand is an obnoxious, condescending jackass. I am surprised at you Kelly! I used to go to both Bolo and Mesa Grill often and the food is great, but he is just as much of a jackass in person. Somebody also needs to smack Rachael Ray around just for being annoying and saying e-v-o-o instead of extra virgin olive oil! Jaques Torres can do some of the most amazing things you will ever see with chocolate, so he rocks too. Tyler Florence makes good stuff and is generally pretty funny and down to earth. Pretty much the same for Jamie Oliver although I haven't seem him on much lately. Kylie Kwong is kind of annoying but the food she makes is so spectacular that I can look past the personality. Dave Lieberman is a little lacking in the personality department, but he makes good stuff on a budget. Thats all I can think of right now. Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana

I have 9 reserve rides total. 2 of them were on Javelins and 7 on Wings. I can safely say that the Wings deployment system works as designed. Any rig that passes the TSO will deploy as quickly as required by law if packed according to the manufacturer's specs. If there is a problem, it is most likely with the rigger that packed it not with the product itself. BTW, there were 4 different riggers that packed my 7 Wings reserve rides and all of them opened perfectly fast. Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana

I am not sure I understand what you are trying to do. You can use TivoDesktop to transfer stuff from your Tivo to your PC and then you can play it on a PC without having to set up Myth. I do that all the time. I am setting up a MythTV environment right now, but only because I want to rip all of my DVDs and be able to play them back on any TV and Myth seems to be the best way for me to do that.

I can always use camera flyers too. If you are healthy enough for that I will put you to work. -

If you are going to play this game, at least do it right. It is "stinky freeflyers" we are "dumb ass belly fliers" Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana -
I have a friend who's mother recently got a car with a push button start. It seems they hang the car keys on a hook in garage when they come home. The hook was close enough to the car for her to get in the car start it and drive to the store. Unfortunately, the store was too far from the hook in the garage to start the car in the parking lot after shopping. Oooops! Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana

I have both books and they are awesome (and I think out of print). But I am looking to create my own formations that are in my head and I wanted something better than stick figures to illustrate them with. Also if I have them on my computer I can play around with dragging people around to figure out the easiest transition from point to point. Which will save a lot of headaches on bigger stuff.

Hey aren't you the guy that USED to organize at z-hills This is actually for an invitational thing that I am doing jackass. Just for that, I am scratching your name off the invite list! Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana

I do, I just don't feel like drawing that many stick figures. I want to print it out. Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana

Does anyone know if there is any software available to design rw formations? I used to have something years ago, but I have no idea what happened to it. I am looking to design 40-ways so the stuff that uses the standard 4, 8 and 16 way dive pools won't work for me. Thanks -OK Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana

You say that like it's a bad thing. I am really starting to agree with the people that say the best thing we can do for society is to remove all warning labels from everything. If you are too stupid to realize that you shouldn't use the hair dryer while in the bathtub maybe you deserve what you get. Are we messing with the laws of natural selection by overly protecting the stupid? I am kidding to some extent, but in some ways it actually makes sense. The only problem is that the warning labels are not usually there to prevent people from doing things, they are really there to protect the companies from that lawsuits that would naturally follow when someone does something stupid.

Along with a few other orgs, yes... But the comercial viability of the net was estabished with porn. I think meant to reply to kelpdiver Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana

Let's not get carried away. Porn had it's heyday when it made VHS and VCRs. Since then its influence has been grossly overstated. DARPA and the NSF made the internet. It would have gotten to where it is now without porn and with virtually no difference in implementation. I was using it before playboy.com came to be and www was a draft replacement for gopher. The usefulness was already clear - email, file transfer, information. I am not arguing that the internet wouldn't exist without porn. I used to access the web from a Links browser in my unix shell account like any good geek did. All I am saying is that a lot of the cool technology that we have come to use like video streaming and image compression tools were developed and or financed by the porn industry. Of course the internet would exist without it. I just don't know in what form and I have to believe that it would have taken longer to get where we are if it weren't for the huge financial investments made by the porn industry. They saw a way to make a large profit by using certain technology and they spent the money to make it happen. Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana

My first thought when I read about this was the traditional slippery slope argument. Once the government steps and and starts regulating porn on the net, what is next. What about when the want to start regulating VIOP or any other internet technologies. My second thought was, don't they realize that a big part of what the internet is today because of porn. A great deal of the advancements in internet technologies were developed by and or for the porn industry. Porn sites were the first to take credit cards on the net. They made great strides in the advancement of streaming video as well as video and image compression. Like it or not, porn built the internet. My third thought was, does the government have any standing whatsoever when it comes to regulating the internet? To the best of my knowledge, they have no say in what people do and don't do on the net with regard to ports or any other technology. Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana

A few months ago my pantry was jam packed with back of DD coffee. Last year Budget rent a car was running a promotion. They would send 2lbs off DD coffee for every 2 rentals. I rent cars just about every week. I forgot all about the form that I filled out and then all of the sudden one day bags of coffee just started showing up. About every other day I got another shipment. It was insane. I must have gotten 25lbs of coffee. Everyone who came to my house was forced to leave with a bag of coffee. I didn't know what to do with it all. I am finally down to a couple of lbs. -OK Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana

Good point, she is actually a fighter. She didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express. Oh well, I guess that leaves Cynthia then. Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana
