  1. Because we live in a time where children are required to have police protection on campus. Last year, my kid's school had two attempts of two different intruders trying to get in the locked doors during school hours... in two days. Welcome to the modern world. Homeschooling Growing Seven Times Faster than Public School Enrollment From the comments: "I dont think there is an economic benefit that can outweigh preventing your child from being a victim of bullying, gun violence, drugs , and molestation., plus getting a crappy education from public school."

  2. Sorry if this is a repost. I did a search. Good viewing whilst I had my morning coffee. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIXdICdP2zI Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  3. I agree with both you and Turtle... But, I still wonder if he went from 0 to 100 mph in 5.0 and if there was an attorney involved - why didn't the attorney just send the school a letter? There are more ways to change dumb ass school policies than having a YouTube moment. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  4. The father had an agenda. He boned up on the State codes and brought a separate videographer to record. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  5. Sorry to hear that, John. Glad it wasn't worse. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  6. What size is the reserve? The Navigator doesn't come in a 230... you mean 220? Even so, it should do you well. You could use it for the first 100 or so jumps while you're learning how to fly well and then; change it out for a similar cubic-inch sized Sabre, Safire, pilot or other. And, you may choose to keep the entire Nav system as a backup rig and in a couple of years or a 1000 jumps (whichever comes first) get an entire new setup as your primary. Food for thought.

  7. A guy walks into a local pharmacy and walks up to the counter where a lady pharmacist is filling prescriptions. When she finally gets around to helping him he says, "I'd like 99 condoms please". With a surprised look on her face the pharmacist says, "99 Condoms!?! Fuck me!" to which the guy replies, "Make it 100 then..."

  8. Highly recommend a WingsEXT custom made to fit you. Your choice of ~190 in a main (Safire, Sabre, Pilot) and PD or Smart reserve. Decide on and purchase a reserve first, then main.... Have two separate riggers take your measurements for the harness. Then, place the order for the harness. ETA: I've owned Vectors, Icons and have jumped Talons, Javelins, etc. The longer EXT works for us tall ones. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  10. Well, depending on your budget... http://www.toshiba.com/us/computers/laptops/qosmio/X70/X75-A7298 with an LG 27" monitor http://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27EA83-D-led-monitor Don't go skinny on your monitor - a good 27-29" LCD will help during the long hours of any project. that with your laptop monitor (17.3") will provide a good physical split screen for multi-tasking. If you need a complex monitor; take a look at the internal split function on this one.. http://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-29EA73-P-led-monitor Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  11. General internet rule of thumb is to speak with your Instructors about gear purchases. I may be a bit cynical; but 350-500 jumps on student canopies that are 5-7 years old seems a bit of a stretch. If you decide to move forward; have your rigger inspection be a part of the deal.

  13. Prolly not. The cops at a gay pride parade are more about just letting the thing "peter out."

  17. The Daily News published a story saying that one-half of Congress were crooks. The Government took great exception to that and demanded a retraction and an apology. The newspaper responded the next day with an apology and reported that one-half of Congress were not crooks. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  18. Lately for some reason, there's 3 receipts auto-generated. I'm more inclined to review the itemized bill (they do make mistakes; intentional or not), tip against the actual amount on the merchant copy (I won't tip on the taxed amount). Then, take the customer & itemized copies with me and tear them up. Yeah, I'm kind of a dick about it. But, there's been one too many times of my bill being wrong.

  19. My biological father left when I was 3ish. I briefly met him again when I was 14. He did us a favor. My stepfather was a hard-working blue collar guy that was distant, but put food on the table. Both taught me what not to do when it comes to my daughter and for that I thank them.
