That was awesome....I laughed pretty good at that. I hate people that can't park. I spent $500 on a parking pass to park in the garage at Arizona State University. You would not believe how many people who drive nice cars park like complete assholes. If they would just park inside the lines, nobody would ever end up with a dent in their car. I don't drive a nice car, but I always try to get it right in the middle of the space. Then some jackass driving a BMW parks 4 inches away from the drivers side of my blazer. You would figure that they would like to keep the door dings out of a $40,000 car. Mine's only worth a couple of grand, and its paid for. But, it does leave nice door dings....

I keep thinking about the movie "Fight Club"....damn I hope that I don't turn out like that. It would be one hell of a ride though. Most of my insomnia issues are due to pending divorce. It sucks because right now I am lying in the bed where my wife and I used to sleep. That doesn't help at all. Maybe I should go try to sleep on the couch.

I should have been asleep hours ago considering the fact that I didnt go to sleep until 5AM. This is the 5th night in a row that I get to deal with insomnia. I want to sleep but can't. The primary purpose of the Armed Forces is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.

Try pressing the button and lighting the pilot light, hold the button for approximately one minute after the pilot light has been lit. It should stay. It sounds like a thermocouple, the heat from the pilot light keeps a low voltage running through the valve. When the pilot light goes out, the voltage drops until the magnet can close the valve. That way, when the pilot light goes out, the valve closes. I am not sure, but give it a try....

The best UFC fights were in the first few years that the event was being held. That was back when they would pit two fighters with different skills against each other. One of the best fights was between a sumo vs. a little guy. The little guy pounded the sumo into submission.....

Only in my mind....people already think that I'm crazy. I dont want to end up in one of those private rooms (the ones with the padded walls) with the cool jackets that have all the buckles on them. Of course the Movie "Pink Panther Strikes Back" made it look kinda fun. They have good happy pills in those places, right? Maybe I am feeling a vacation coming on......

Hey....What's wrong with being a redneck? You do live in the south, right? You have redneck blood coursing through your veins.....you couldn't help yourself.

The sport of skydiving in inherently dangerous. It is a thrill-seeking activity, and is not done so that people can feel safe. If you want to feel safe buy a volvo, and drive in the slow lane. I don't jump from an airplane because I want to feel safe, I also don't rely on other people to "be safe". That is an unreasonable expectation. To believe that just because the USPA adds another section to the SIM that states there are certain things that need to be done in order for people to be safe is bordering on insanity. It is my understanding that the people who died this past weekend at Eloy were experienced skydivers, with high jump numbers, who were current. They are responsible for their actions. They knew the risks involved with their decision to jump. If this is not the case, please enlighten me. People have been dying in this sport since its inception. Just like people die driving their cars, riding motorcycles, hikng, camping, eating, etc... If you are looking for a prevention measure, educate the young jumpers, educate the old jumpers, have safety briefings at the DZ prior to jumping, specify landing patterns to primary and alternate landing areas. IF the DZ is a large busy DZ segregate high performance canopy traffic so that they are not competing for airspace. But, most importantly, hold the individuals responsible for their actions. It is up to the individual to be responsible for their actions, not the community as a whole. I don't like hearing about people in this sport dying. I have lost friends due to landing incidents. But more regulation IS NOT the answer. More regulations do not take into account those people who are going to make bad decisions. Imagine how it would impact the sport if everybody that steps foot on the DZ has to do exactly the same thing until they have 100 jumps, or 500 jumps, or 1000 jumps. At what point in time is a person capable of making their own decision on how they want to enjoy their time in the sky? At what point in time are people responsible for making coherent decisions in how they set up to land? Or enter the landing pattern? Mistakes are made, lets use the knowledge and experience that is gained from the mistakes to better the sport, not make it more confining. Lets use the incidents as a teaching tool, not as a method to push more regulation on a sport that is meant for people to explore themselves and their freedom. Regulation is not the answer. A possible solution (not a neccesary solution) is to come up with a class similar to the comprehensive defensive driving courses that are availble. Teach people how to drive their canopies in traffic. Teach them how to be proficient with their canopy. Teach them what to do to avoid collisions, traffic mishaps, etc by being one step ahead of the game. In defensive driving it is up to me to make sure that I am not in an accident, and to look out all around me, plan ahead so that I can try to avoid a situation before it ever occurs. Rely on yourself so that you dont have to rely on others. There have been boogies for years, and there hasnt been the overbearing need to create more regulations. Personal responsiblity is key. If a person is not experienced enough to jump at the boogie they should not get in the air. If a person is too hungover from the night before they should not get in the air. If a person is trying to swoop a little too hard, they should not be in the air. But, far be it from me to declare these ideals the next needed regulations. I will be up in the air looking for a way to avoid them on my way to the ground. If I cant, I know that I am taking part in a high risk sport. I know that there are other people that are taking part in the sport along with me. I know that there are people out there that I will not jump with because they dont have the same priorities that I do. But, I am responsible enough to know those things. You cannot regulate responsibilty. The primary purpose of the Armed Forces is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.

I build my own PCs, however laptops are an arena that I havent gotten into building. I need to go ahead and build a new PC for my house. I really want to build one with the dual-core processors. I think that the new motherboards you can get some serious speed.....Now, I need to go look at the Fry's electronics website.

You should check out this site. This is where you can purchase Dell laptops for a greatly reduced price. There are three different catagories, refurb, damaged, and canceled orders. You can go through and find a laptop that was already built for someone else that cancelled their order, and then get it for several hundred dollars cheaper than an order unit. http://www.dell.com/content/products/category.aspx/notebooks?c=us&cs=28&l=en&s=dfb I bought an Inspiron 710m from the site, as a refurb unit, and I have had zero problems. I got it for almost 500 less than retail on an order unit. The primary purpose of the Armed Forces is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.

This could be a plethora of problems. Some things to check. Make sure that none of the wiring is touching and creating a short. If this is the case a little bit of electrical tape should insulate the wire and prevent the problem from occuring. There is a flame sensor. It tells the control unit that the burner actually lit. It looks like a little probe that hangs directly in front of the burner tray. Use some emory cloth to clean the surface, and then make sure that the wiring is properly routed and connected. If the CU fails on the light sequence the furnace will go into a safety mode, it will shut down the burner and leave the exhaust fan blowing to make sure that there is no gas collecting in the burner area. one last thing to check depending on whether there is a pilot light or ceramic ignitor. If there is a pilot light make sure that it is lit. If there is a ceramic ignitor, make sure that it is intact. If it is cracked or fouled, the CU will take the furnace through 3 attempts to light the burner then go into saftey mode. The CU will reset (on some models) and attempt this again after 10 mins or so. If none of this helps, reset the unit by turning it off for a few minutes then turning it back on. There is a light on the CU that will blink a fail code. If the CU is bad you may not get a code. When you take the cover off the unit you must hold the safety switch depressed in order to get the unit to cycle. There shouldnt be any reason why the unit would work when the exhaust is cold and not when its hot. I am not a technician, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Let me know if any of this helps. I have found that it is cheaper to check everything prior to calling a repair guy. They usually charge 100 for the service call, and a ceramic lighter is only about $25. The primary purpose of the Armed Forces is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the need arise.

One of my greatest memories of childhood was watching my Dad do his last skydive. I was about 6 years old, we lived in Wyoming at the time. On the way back from visiting the family in Colorado we stopped in at some DZ, he got on a load. I remember watching all the parachutes open and looking for may Dad. I keep trying to get him back into the sport, but he claims that he is too busy for this nonsense. He used to jump with a super8 movie camera on his helmet, and has some interesting footage of skydiving in the old days.

When I was in Iraq, one of my soldiers was a little bit lacking in personal hygiene. Finally I made him go get in the shower. He changed into PTs before leaving the room but when he took off his drawers and left them laying in the middle of the floor, we all noticed why he smelled so bad. He had probably 20 different skids in his drawers. It looked as though he would get uncomfortable, then move the drawers an inch or two then go back to whatever he was doing. They were by far worse than the picture you attached. I wish now that I had a picture, it seems appropriate.

I am going through the same thing. My kids are 6 and 1. It is extremely difficult because my soon-to-be ex just up and left the week before thanksgiving. My older son is mine from a previous marriage, and the younger is from this marriage. The older boy lives with me, and she took the younger one. My older son was devastated because he loves his younger brother. Since she isnt in town it is impossible to sit them all down together and explain what is going on. (the worst part is that I dont even know what is going on) What Lawrocket said is absolutely correct the kids are very perceptive. My older boy knows what is going on, and I talk to him about what is going on. A while back he made a paper chain in school, in each section of the chain are the names of each member of the family. A few days ago he removed the link that said "Mommy" on it. He said that it was because he didnt like the "picture" anymore and wanted to change it. It sucks that the kids have to go through it, but unfortunately they are in it as much as you are (if not more, they get it from both sides). your life gets to go on, but theres is stuck in between the parents. Just be open with them, and they will be able to deal with things a whole lot better. Always keep your cool when the ex is around no matter how bad he pisses you off. Dont talk bad about him, that has the potential to taint your kids relationship with their father. In the end it will all work out for the best. You can find your happiness, and stability. Another thing to be careful of is making sure that you arent spoiling the kids because they are going through the divorce with you. Keep the boundaries that they currently have. Make sure that your ex is on the same page so that they dont use you against him. It makes the situation worse for you if he takes them on the weekend and spoils the shit out of them and then drops them off on sunday night. It creates contention.

my bet is no. The alcohol molecules are much larger than water molecules. The water molecules are moved through the tree through active transport, and the mechanism of active transport probably wouldnt take the alcohol anywhere. Plus, the alcohol once outside the closed container would evaporate fairly quickly. It has been a while since BIO 101 and Chem 101.
