By posting this, it is not a disclosure to state that I approve or disapprove of the link...Just posting it for all to read http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/136487-republicans-introduce-bill-to-eliminate-presidential-czars?sms_ss=digg&at_xt=4d263df8b7c12d4b%2C0 A group of House Republicans introduced a bill on Wednesday to rein in the various "czars" in the Obama administration. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) and 28 other House Republicans introduced legislation to do away with the informal, paid advisers President Obama has employed over the past two years. The legislation, which was introduced in the last Congress but was not allowed to advance under Democratic control, would do away with the 39 czars Obama has employed during his administration. The bill defines a czar as "a head of any task force, council, policy office within the Executive Office of the President, or similar office established by or at the direction of the President" who is appointed to a position that would otherwise require Senate confirmation. Republicans had complained about the president's use of czars to help advance his agenda in Congress. In particular, the GOP had harped about the personal history of Van Jones, the president's czar for "green jobs," over past comments Jones had made about Fox News came to light. Jones eventually resigned. Another prominent czar over the past year was Carol Browner, the president's energy and environmental adviser. She helped head up efforts in response to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, and the ultimately unsuccessful effort for an energy and climate bill from Congress. Republicans introduced several bills to eliminate czars in the last Congress, but similar legislation could conceivably advance in the House now that the GOP controls the chamber. "We haven’t gotten an indication of an exact timeline for committee action, considering that the bill was just filed yesterday," said Scalise spokesman Stephen Bell. "We hope to have this discussion in the near future as the congressman works to pursue all the bills he has introduced in the 112th Congress."

yeah and I have a job Jim...I don't get home til after dark! between 7 and 7:30 depending on how crappy the traffic is on 288 I'm not fortunate enough to be Jim Twardo...self made badass skydiver fooker!

Because I'm a pussy when it comes to jumping in cold weather...but I plan on being at the dz in the next few days to get my reserve repacked so I can get back in the air when it warms up again.

----------------------------------------------------------- My two mini dachshunds would totally get masters degrees in sleeping if it was offered. They sleep in our bed under the covers between me and my wife and I often wake up with parker between us on his back with his legs up in the air and his face sticking out from under the covers. Not many things make me feel like being at home more than my two dogs licking me in the face after I get home from that hour commute to my house from work.

Unless of course you are talking about water skis

So they arent coming up with another delivery vehicle that will replace the shuttle? From my limited knowledge I hear that they are going back to vehicles like the saturn rockets but, wouldnt they want to have another re-usable platform like an updated shuttle for the future? Just asking...I'd personally like the US to ramp up space exploration to the next level. Good Luck. If you get bored and have the need to fill spare time by jumping with a n00b let me know!

That smiley face is COMPLETELY unnecessary my friend!

So? So?* And what happened that time? ----------------------------------------------------------- since you think you know everything why dont you tell me. (* And, uh, will they? Really?)

---------------------------------------------------------- You're the engineer so I will leave that up to you. If you say that the planets wont line up like the other hundred or so people I watch on the history channel I am unable to challenge that, and therefore will not go into that discussion. However, this is only my belief...but I think humans are becoming 'too smart' for our own good. Pretty soon CERN will have an particle accelerator up to full capacity that could reveal some of the hidden parts of life god probably doesnt want us to know about. But then again thats just my opinion.

Crap. ok I meant WINTER solstace...my bad

We should as Twardo what happened that time, so we can be prepared! ------------------------------------------------------------ Yeah I knew twardo was old school but dayum! Here are the seven seals if you didnt know them already First Seal - Conquest, White horse Second Seal - War, Red Horse Third Seal - Famine, Black Horse Fourth Seal - Death, Green or Pale Horse Fifth Seal - Vision of martyrs Sixth Seal - Cosmic disturbances: sun turns black, moon turns blood red; sealing of the 144,000 Seventh Seal - Prelude To The 7 Trumpets of 7 Angels & The Final Judgement and that planetary alignment I was talking about? Look at #6.

I read all that business about the Mayan calendar ending in 2012. Kinda scary! But then, just for the hell of it, I checked my own calendar and realized the damn thing ended on Dec 31, 2010!! WTF!! Just in time I rushed down to Staples and got a new one and I'm good for another year. Whew!

I've known of the end of days since I was a kid. This new date doesnt bring any new news other than its time to get more jumps in.

VB I like most all of your posts. But if there was ever a time for it to happen it just did...I couldn't be any more confused than I am right now. And I'm not talking about my sexuality...I'm talking about this situation and the fact that born guy...has balls....now a girl. Not a tranny...but is a transsexual...to me these terms connotate the same thing. But yeah pussy is fantastic (most of the time...but there are some that arent all that) I thought this was a website about skydiving...now I can see the next time I get out to the dz...coming in on final...and then I see a picture in my mind of a fucking chick with a dick and whaM! I eat shit on final...the next time I bust my ass I'm totally blaming it on my perv ass friend from switzerland

I've seen jesus a few times from acid myself. If you do look at it I suggest smoking a bowl first. Fucking sweet

Yeah I now know what I live in texas. Sure we get hurricaines down here but we just get in the car and leave. Cold weather sucks donkey balls.

Sundevil that was great advice for me too. It's quite possible that I've heard it before but with the way you put it together it suddenly make much more sense now that it has ever before. I now figured out that I'm waiting until the last possible second because I'm afraid of stalling my canopy and I stab that fokker at the last second and I'm not getting the full flair and coming in HOT!! because I havent utililzed the full potential of the flair on my Sabre2. While its possible the OP didnt get what you said...I did and I'm going to apply this when I get back to the DZ I will do my best to apply that to my landings.

Goals 1.) Get my reserve repacked for the upcoming season 2.) Finish my test for my 'B' license (already have enough jumps, docks, landinging within 50 feet from the target, and water training...just need to take the test) 3.) get (at least) twice as many jumps as I had last season 4.) get better at 4-way 4.) learn how to exit front floater without flailing around looking like an idiot 5.) get better flying in different slots for 4-way 5.) make more skydiving friends 6.) be safe 7.) have fun!

Well, I'm an Eagles fan and what he says is pretty much true. A lot of us are assholes. After all this is the city that booed Santa Claus (to be truthful, it was because Santa Claus was drunk, though). Hey, I’m an asshole and it has nothing to do with being an Eagles fan. A lot of us being assholes doesn’t make “most” Eagles fans. I just found it odd to dislike a team because of the fans. I have a feeling there is more to the story. A personal encounter with some Eagles fans maybe? ---------------------------------------------------------- Lets go back to the 90's. How about when the cowboys went to the Vet and Michael Irvin was up ended and landed on his head and was almost paralyzed. What the the suck ass Philly fans do? They cheered like it was a philly touchdown. What a pathetic fan base you have. Come to ANY other town and you will see fans cheering opposing team members when the GET BACK UP and are carted off...not because they almost get paralyzed. As an Eagles fan I am too close to be objective but I’ll try. I have seen Philadelphia fans do exactly what you describe other cities doing. Waiting anxiously when an apposing player doesn’t get up and then giving an ovation when they do stand or are carried off the field. A few years ago I got the chance to go to a Dolphins / Eagles Monday night game at Joe Robbie Stadium (or whatever it is called this week). We got in to town a few days before and I wouldn’t wear anything around town to identify myself as an Eagles fan. Some other Eagles fans were out of line and I didn’t want people like you, unable to recognize that not all Eagles fans behave that way, to lump me in with them. I guess it is kind of like family. No one can pick on my brother but me. When I see you say “most of their fans” it pisses me off and makes me want to defend the ones (the majority) who aren’t like that. As far as Michael Irvin's career-ending injury at the Vet, looking at it with 20/20 hindsight, sure the reaction was wrong but it wasn’t from “most” fans and it was done not knowing the seriousness of the injury. Done rambling. ---------------------------------------------------------- Yeah you know what...you're right. I'm sure there are a fair share of eagles fans that arent assholes. It was unfair of me to lump all of them together. But as long as you know of the bad rap that Eagles fans...and particuarly philly fans in general get a rep then you can see where I was coming from. I apologize and truthfully I would much rather see the eagles in the NFC championship game than to hear the words I hate to hear over and over again...(because if I hear WHO DAT! a few hundred more times I'm going to pull what little hair I have right out my head. Please Please PUNISH the AINTS for ruining my baby bucs chances of making the playoffs this year.

You know this is fucking retarded. And I'm not referring to Micheal Vick either. I think he did his time and has paid for what he did wrong. What about Myron Rolle who became a Rhodes Scholar before he came into the NFL? No mention to black foks that have exceeded in a virtually all white environment and acheived what few asian people could do much less anyone else. Why not give praise to him as well? Look it now seems that people like Quannel X and others only come to the aid of people who have done wrong and been locked up. That sets a precident for failure preceeded to acheivement. And I am extremely impressed with Micheal Vick and his performance on the football field. I personally HATE the Philidelphia Eagles because most of their fans are sad vindictive and just plain mean. I hope Micheal Vick does well...WHY? Well I love my dogs, but I think he's done his time and he deserves to have something good because? He's earned it...not because he was in jail and now he's not. BECAUSE HE STUDIES THE GAME...HE WATCHES TAPE, HE KNOWS HIS PROGRESSIONS AND BECAUSE HE IS TRULY A MUCH BETTER QB than he ever was at Atlanta...thats why he's due. Not because he did something horrible and is now making up for it. MYRON ROLLE ...thats who should be commended. Because he did it THE RIGHT WAY!!

Umm, wow... Look at her post again. Thursday morning. I think that it's really cool how many slots are still open. There are games coming up this weekend that actually matter!

umm wow...I thought you knew something about football. See they have this thing called Thursday Night Football. Yeah it already happened Pittsburgh won 27-3.

Don't tell me you're talking smack about beating lowly carolina are you?

so were they asking if you can breathe in air that thin or ...were they asking if you were high when you jumped?
