... of a navy that in 1807 without previous declaration of war attacked a neutral country and enacted two days of firebombing against civilians . Any story has two sides. That also goes for history.

I just clicked it. My Firefox browser running under Scientific Linux just complained about some unrecognized protocols and proceeded to show me some pictures of presumably consenting adults...

I can spare the price of a jump ticket for this. Good initiative. HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

What makes you think we're not perfectly aware that we're having more fun than you? HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

You may find this thread interesting. HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

Yeah, I also reread the entire series a few months ago. Good stuff. Somehow I remembered the stories as being longer and more elaborate, though. Maybe I just grew up (NOOOooooo.... ). Btw. I think it is interesting that several people have listed Kurt Vonnegut Jr. among the classics. I love his books (Sirenes of Titan, Slaughterhouse 5, Timequake), but I didn't know he qualified as a classic author.

OK. You asked for it... HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

I recently commited some time to rereading some of the classics. So far I've read: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Great fun) Moby Dick (Pretentious piece of sh*t IMHO) Dracula (Very well written in fact) Also I am half way through Ivanhoe. It feels like reading a Kirk Douglas movie.

Am I the only one who keeps reading SC as "Speakers Coner"? Rights created by SC? Laws declared unconstitutional by SC? HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

C'mon, Grøn Tuborg is good on a hot summer day, but Guld Tuborg (The Golden Lady) is a better beer. Where you ever in Denmark in December? The varieties of beer available explode. I'll keep you in mind if ever I pass through Massachusetts. EDIT: This thread just brings tears to my eyes. Sheer beauty

Now there's a reason to cross the Atlantic if ever I saw one. Don't know if it will persuade the "home rule" though... HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

No no no! He can be put to use as Paris Hilton's new partner in "Simple Life". If that isn't punishment I don't know what is. HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...

Difference from a 280 down to a 170?

That attitude will last exactly until the second where you try a non-student canopy for the first time. You will be begging the pilot to let you open at full altitude . HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde... -

Uhm.. That sounds more like a wind problem than a canopy control problem to me As for the classic "Ask your instructor"-advice, I have personally expanded that to "Ask any instructor you can find and keep bugging them with questions for months". That will leave you able to make an informed decision. I am ~240 out the door and I was recommended anything from 230 to 190. I was jumping Manta 288 and Falcon 300 as a student. I ended up demoing a Triathlon 210 recommended to me by an instructor and rigger. Before I did I asked another instructor if he was comfortable with me jumping this rig given that exit weight. I ended up buying another canopy but stuck with the size as I quite liked it.

It certainly does not sound like a legal brief . However it is not far from how you would expect a professional to explain to us mere mortals what this is about. For the record there is a Prof. Francis Boyle in Illinois: Professor Francis Anthony Boyle University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign College of Law 204 Law Building 504 East Pennsylvania Avenue Champaign, IL 61820 voice: 217/333-0931 fax: 217/244-1478 E-mail FBOYLE@law.uiuc.edu No, he's showing that these laws are recognized by the US to the point of these laws being incorporated into the field manual.

OK I admit the soreness disappears with practice (at least, that's what she tells me), but that doesn't change that she's not reeally in the mood tho have anything up there, once she's had her fun. The condom was a good idea though... HF #682, Team Dirty Sanchez #227 “I simply hate, detest, loathe, despise, and abhor redundancy.” - Not quite Oscar Wilde...
