Of course I would think that there could be A FEW women who can't lactate and would purchase breast milk for feeding their baby....but they wouldn't get it from craigslist..(Unless their total dumbasses)

I am by no means a medical professional but I've always considered the high heart rate and heightened sense of awareness from the higher heart rate (I call it the WANTED Factor..ie the movie) but if your heart rate was normal wouldn't you think that your reaction time would be just a bit slower than if you heart was already racing?...just my opinion.

I liked the 2nd one..that had the curves..but I guess it depends on how much you want to spend...

How about they deploy a bunch of skunks via static line and get them to run into the trenches....

In my humble opinion you shouldn't use a number like 200 as your entry into base. You should be mad proficient at tracking. But that number is the BARE MINIMUM for transitioning to BASE. Remember there are no reserves in base, and there is precious little time to react to a problem. Just start skydiving and I'm sure you'll figure this out yourself. But for me I spent extra money on a Bonehead Mamba full face helmet because I wanted a little extra protection because I wear contacts. So... L&B Altitrack 350.00 Bonehead Mamba 325.00 No goggles necessary! Good Luck and Blue Skies

Dave Chappelle as P. Diddy: I've got some good news and some bad news. The bads news is that I've had to shut down the studio. The good news is that I've saved a bunch of money on my car insurance. Breast Milk...you make my dayyyyyyyeaaahhh

This is the video of an eyewitness that saw the plane strike the jogger...she said it hit him in the upper body. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2010/03/16/bounds.sc.plane.kills.jogger.wsav?hpt=T2

Toyota - Moving you (sometimes even when you don't want to be moved!) Toyota- Everyone needs a change of underwear!

Or move to South Texas where Spaceland is...while its not beautiful like Southern Cali...its a HELL of a lot cheaper! -------------- Edit: as in cost of living...not necessarily jump tickets.

Wow those folks have waaaay too much time on their hands...and appearantly a few speakers they didnt need any more as well.

[http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/03/17/jogger-killed-plane-likely-heard/?test=latestnews] HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. -- The kit-built single-engine plane had turned into a glider, almost silently trying to make an emergency landing along a stretch of beach. Pharmaceutical salesman Robert Gary Jones, ear buds in, listening to his iPod while jogging neither saw nor heard it and was struck from behind Monday evening and killed instantly. "There's no noise," said aviation expert Mary Schiavo, a former inspector general for the National Transportation Safety Board. "So the jogger, with his ear buds in, and the plane without an engine, you're basically a stealth aircraft. Who would expect to look up?" The 38-year-old Jones, whose mother said was serious about nutrition and exercise, especially jogging, was on a business trip to Hilton Head for GlaxoSmithKline. He was looking forward to getting home to the northern Atlanta suburb of Woodfield, Georgia, for his daughter's third birthday Wednesday, Pauline Smith said. "I was never so shocked in all my life," she said of learning the news, her voice shaking. "They say that God only gives you what you can handle. I said, 'You know what, I've reached my max."' The pilot, Edward I. Smith of Chesapeake, Virginia, and his lone passenger walked away from the crash landing near the Hilton Head Marriott Resort and Spa. Smith was on the beach Tuesday, when the four-seater aircraft was hoisted onto a trailer hitched to a pickup truck and towed away. Authorities did not identify the passenger. "I've got a lot of issues going on right now," Smith said. "I've got a plane that's all torn up. And I've got a young man that I killed." The Lancair IV-P aircraft had lost its propeller, with oil smeared all over its windshield, making visibility difficult, authorities said. It was "basically gliding" when it instantly killed Jones, said Ed Allen, the coroner for Beaufort County on the South Carolina coast. The plane took off from Orlando, Florida, at 4:45 p.m. Monday and was en route to Virginia when it started leaking oil at about 13,000 feet (4,000 meters), said Joheida Fister, spokeswoman for Hilton Head Island fire and rescue. National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Keith Holloway said no cause had been determined. He said the plane would be inspected in Virginia and that investigators would interview the pilot and any witnesses. "We don't know what occurred, especially since we haven't actually examined the aircraft," Holloway said. "We are still gathering facts." Even with oil smeared on the windshield, Schiavo, the former NTSB official, said Smith should have been able to see through a small window on the side of the plane and possibly yell out to anyone below. Still, there may have been little time to try to avoid hitting the jogger, she said. She said Smith made the right choice in landing on the beach rather than the water. The aircraft likely wasn't carrying flotation equipment. "Planes like this sink like a rock," she said. The airplane model that killed Jones has a turbine engine, can be built from a kit and can fly up to 370 mph (595 kph), according to the Lancair Web site. The "fastbuild kit" for the IV-P model, which has a pressurized cabin, is listed as costing $129,000 (euro94,000), the site says. The plane "has proven over the years to be very safe, reliable and extremely low in maintenance," the site says. Joseph Bartels, chief executive officer of Lancair International, the Oregon-based company that produces the aircraft kits, said Tuesday that the kit produces a "light, fast and strong aircraft." "This particular aircraft is one of about 1,000 sold either as kits or completed," Bartels said, though he added he had no specific knowledge about the airplane that had crashed. His firm does not produce the engine, which is purchased separately, he said. Bartels, who had seen online news photos of the damaged plane, called the landing "miraculous" given the damage to it, but also expressed sorrow at the deadly outcome. Pauline Jones, of Dunedin, Florida, said her son was a wonderful husband to his wife, Jennifer. The couple also has a 5-year-old son. She said she's going on "borrowed strength." "It's been very difficult," she said. "I haven't been to bed since I heard. I haven't had any sleep."

Hey Scott, Which floor is closer to your dsl modem..upstairs or downstairs? Because if one is closer, you can connect one with an ethernet cable, and use the wireless adapter on the other...that would resolve your problem.

If you buy two wireless adapters for both xbox's they will not communicate with each other. They are for when you cant make ethernet runs and connect a single device to your wireless router. You have to have a wireless router for an xbox wireless adapter to work.

If you want to connect two xbox's together and do a system link you can use a 4 port hub or switch and connect the devices using ethernet cables. This will not provide internet access only connect the two xbox's together. Or you could use a router and connect the devices together using ethernet cables and you will have both devices with internet connectivity. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Edit: I assume by wireless connections you are referring to xbox 360's. You can buy two wireless adapters for both xboxes and connect both xboxes to your wireless router and have internet connectivity for both, but you will need to have a wireless router for both devices to connect to. So if you had a linksys wireless router connected to your dsl or cable modem, and two wireless xbox adapters you could have internet on both devices...but this could be rather expensive, which is why I was informing you about the ethernet alternative.

In general your data transfer rate will almost always be higher by using an ethernet cable as compared to wireless. The only drawback to running Cat-5 or Cat-6 is that it has a 100 meter maximum cable run of a single cable, but that's over 300 feet in one run. Not likely to have a house that has runs that long. I had to run an ethernet cable in my attic and down to another room...get a sheetrock saw and cut holes in the sheetrock and the use my crimpers to terminate the cable. Long story short...ethernet is not susceptible to electromagnetic interferance, and if you aren't encrypting your wireless network anyone can piggy back onto your network and slow down your connection significantly. If you HAVE to use wireless its not horrible...just a little slower and make sure you encrypt your network. If you need any help with any of this send me a message and I will gladly help you resolve any IT type issues you are having problems with.

Please forgive me for my 'pilot ignorance' but what benefits can be attained from changing the pitch on the blade of the propeller from a fixed wing aircraft...I know in a helicopter when you move the cyclic (its either the cyclic or the collective) but when you move the stick forward it changes the pitch of the blades which tilts the nose of the helicopter downward and propels the chopper forward. How could this help a fixed wing aircraft?

Mmmmm Domino's ... I love their Bread Bowls. The one with penne pasta, chicken, and alfredo sauce is da bomb!

Well they both may use the host system, but I cant tell nearly as quickly in MW2 as I can with Halo as to whether I am on the team with host or not...One good way to determine in halo is that if you're on the pit or another map with fusion coils...if you shoot them and they blow up instantly you probably have host...if you shoot them and theres a delay...you probably don't have host. But in halo I use the 'filters' all the time and they rarely work. For instance the last time I played Halo I chose the 'prefer my language' filter and everyone in the game except for me was from another country. It was severely laggy and before I broke my controller in frustration, I quit and I haven't played Halo since.

I'm sure you're right...I only pondered the situation because the aircraft seemed rather on the small side.

Mike JD...are you on Xbox Live ...and if so whats your gamertag?

Allright I can't speak for anyone buy myself, but the reason why I haven't jumped in two years was because I lost two jobs in two years...both layoffs. The last one happened a week after I bought myself a brand new skydiving rig. I would say that I have some anxiety issues about being back at the drop zone...seeing the instructors and having to ask questions about 'why haven't you been back at the dz since you got your license' and having to re-learn some of the things I knew well two years ago. It gets all wrapped into one emotion. Anxity, Fear, however you want to call it. I was looking for some motivation because I WILL be at the DZ this weekend ...rain or shine...I WILL get my reserve and main repacked...and I will get my refresher course ....and I WILL get my recurrency jumps in. So I went out and bought TWO copies of Transcending Fear by Brian Germain. I haven't read all of it yet, but I know the sense of accomplishment I feel every time I touch terra firma after landing my canopy, and that feeling far outweighs the anxeity I feel before that time comes. I know that not all of what I am saying can be related to this post because you already have your A and you are trying new things, but I will say that the book should be a MUST READ for new skydivers experiencing fear and anxiety while accomplishing new tasks.

Yeah I honestly didn't know the girl was 13 I swear!

Do any of you think that when the aircraft impacted the jogger, it diverted the aircraft into the water? Or would impacting a human not cause enough resistance to force the plane into the water?

You know it might be just me, but when I looked at the local article John posted, I was looking at the windshield of the aircraft, and while I can only see perhaps 20% of it from the side, it didn't appear to have oil all over it. Of course if he came in to land and ran into saltwater, perhaps some water being splashed over the windshield could have washed some of the oil away.

That's a really good point...if there's enough oil pouring out the engine, then its probably going to crater soon than later. He probably chose the best plan of action for what he was dealing with. Thanks John.
